I cut this from my comment: Nor are they saying anything about Obama's plan for making it mandatory for people that have corporate 401K's to contribute 5% into a government managed program that will return a 3% yield, and the people managing this program are the same people that have done such a wonderful job with our social security system funds. You plainly didn't read what I plainly said.

do you think just because Obama gets elected that any of things are going to change. It has nothing to do with religion, it has to do with being aware of what's going on around you; thinking through the ramifications of some of Obama's policies. Where are we, by the way? The dems are just as, if not more so, resonsible for where we are at this point in time. Do you think for a minute that you will be hated any less by anti-American forces, if Obama is elected? Our greatest national security threat is our economy. Obama says he can take from the rich and give to the poor who aren't paying taxes to begin with, give to the hungry in other countries when we have people starving right here, take money from every working citizen with a 401K and put it in some fund run by the same group that runs our social security program; which one of these does a single thing to strenghten our economy or our national security. Our enemy is terorism, it is a world wide threat. Our military must be funded in a manner, and be positioned to adjust according to that threat at anytime without delay. What you people think are corrections to our problems are actually going to further increase our problems.

continue with things the way they are. But why do you people keep bring up stuff about a black president. The color of our president is of no concern. The fact that Obama's policies are going to make things worse, not better, is the problem.

The only way for America to rise and recover from the disasters of the Republican years is to oust Republicans from office. It certainly is the only way you'll be redeemed in the eyes of the world. America needs this redemption (sorry to sound like mythman). Electing a black man president will send clear messages: equality is finding a place in America; America is backing equality; Americans aren't racist. Issues with tax are small fry compared to this but you seem to be saying McCain will bring about a better system - fairer to Joe Plumber et al. That is ridiculous. If McCain is returned as your president, America will stay on the same path and it will rightfully be sidelined by all principled people. The poor will be more neglected as Big Business (owners not workers) are given more. That's the best case scenario - the worst involves his untimely death and Palin Power.
