Mississippi Win Nets Obama Five More Delegates

Submitted by Pete Green, Mar 12, 2008 17:49

I'm concerned that many voters will vote for Obama because he is black, Clinton because she is a woman and McCain due to his service to the country, which I commend him for, instead of who has the best qualification. None have a good track record in their present jobs in the Senate. Remember, Congress has a lower rating that Bush and now these three are going to rise above it all and try to convince us they are going to accomplish something.

I believe Romney has the best qualifications thru his accomplishments as a governor and business man but people in this country, again, can't look past their biases. He is a Mormon, so what, not a reason to cross him off.

Democrats have the moniker as "tax and spend" Democrats. They've allready said Bush's tax cuts won't be permanent which hurts the middle class and will slow businesses in creating jobs. Go to U Tube and watch Obama's speech on what he'll do to the military and national defense. We'de better be like Switzerland and require everyone to have a rifle in the house and be ready to defend self and country. Obama will strip us down to nothing. Both will raise taxes on business and the middle class. Look at the tax tables from the Clinton years and you'll find anyone making from 30 K to 70K paid a lot more in income tax all those years vs during the Bush years.

The economy grew for 7 years, longer than any of past administrations. Government didn't cool it off, people did by getting in debt for what they couldn't afford and instead of living up to their obligations, now want the government to bail them out. Now the feds are doing the same thing, spending money to do just that, with money they don't have but have to borrow, which will make things worse. Democrats want to the government to be all things for all people. Let the free enterprise system straigthen itself out, has been working for many, many years. Government involvement makes things worse and drags it out longer.

We have a great country and many talented people. How we got stuck with these to choose form thru the political machines needs to be looked at and corrected.
