I couldn't agree more with disagreeing less with Senator Obama and you about whether or not you and Senator Obama agree with me about disagreeing with Western Pennsylvania being the God-lovingest, Americanest, patriotickest, socialists in...oh, well, you know what I mean.

Dr. Johnson's prophecy about Sen. McCain:

"A man sometimes starts up a patriot, only by disseminating discontent, and propagating reports of secret influence, of dangerous counsels, of violated rights, and encroaching usurpation. This practice is no certain note of patriotism. To instigate the populace with rage beyond the provocation, is to suspend publick happiness, if not to destroy it. He is no lover of his country, that unnecessarily disturbs its peace. Few errours and few faults of government, can justify an appeal to the rabble; who ought not to judge of what they cannot understand, and whose opinions are not propagated by reason, but caught by contagion."

McCain is NOT representative of main street America. He and Palin are just another political mirage, like so many Republicans.  

"In a report released Tuesday, ratings agency Standard & Poor's says there are 140 large U.S. companies in danger of not being able to pay their bills in the next few months, up nearly twofold from the beginning of this year. Among the troubled firms on the agency's list are such household names as clothing retailer Eddie Bauer, amusement park operator Six Flags and pizza chain Sbarro. Also on the list are doughnut baker Krispy Kreme and mobile technology titan Palm, as well as a number of the nation's largest airlines, including JetBlue and the corporate parents of United and American."

when the first stimulus package had this effect:

"When talk of recession emerged late last year, legislators in Washington quickly passed a bipartisan stimulus package that featured almost $120 billion in tax rebates. The plan was to combat an economic slowdown by pumping money into the economy and keeping demand high and consumption steady. And when second quarter GDP rebounded to 3.3 percent (since revised to 2.8) from the more anemic 0.9 percent, economists widely credited the influx of cash distributed in the spring courtesy of the Federal Treasury. "

And the impending effect on car sales that will implode next year eliminating 100k jobs give or take 100k.

Meanwhile, congress does NOTHING.

Anyone have Joe the Plumbers email addy?  They seem to be listening to him perhaps he can tell the pols that the ship is sinking.

The impact of the anticipated and current job loss will be devastating on hard working Americans next year.  Can anyone give me ONE reason why our candidates and representatives are NOT addressing this crisis????
