Comparing McCain and Obama is like comparing McDonald's and Burger King: Whichever one's better, neither is good for you.

I still don't understand how the government can bail out the Banks.. & still poor people get made homeless!??

If the government 'BAILED' them out.. surely the 'poor people' (sub-prime) should have their mortgages paid off, from the Government bail out?!

If the 'bail out' left people in their homes you could understand it. But this way, bad decision making is 'guaranteed' NOT to lead to your corporation's going bust!

So now 'fraud', 'mismanagement' etc are all guaranteed by government funds!!!

yes, but cities have their problems too:

1) food-producing gardens must replace parks

2)farmers markets must be promoted much more, thru incentives and what-not

3) junk food chains and liquor stores need to be replaced by health food stores and co-ops

4) housing situation needs scientific monitoring and sustainable improvements

Unfortunately I can't vote for him, but I swear I would if I lived in the States. Just to dream of a different type of world.

Forclosure?

Blame elected leaders we voted for. Blame the CEO's that cut/outsource American Jobs in exchange for BIG Bonuses!

I refuse to blame foreclosures on the HomeBuyers.

Think about it. Did they REALLY buy a house/get a Mortgage they could NOT afford? Get sub-prime duped? Did anyone think companies paying enough to buy a house CAN turn around and cut jobs? Cut pay? CUT Overtime?

I BELIEVE that's exactly what's happened.

Remember the Overtime Law Bush struck down in 2004?

I send them as comments.

Do you have "Hi5"? The postings work there, too! I found out you must be sure to ad the person's name or something to each comment sent so it does not come off as spam.

Ralph Nader & Matt Gonzalez - 2008!

More Voices. More Choices.

Cynthia McKinney is now the Green Party candidate and she supports a smaller government and decentralization.

Although I do not like ANY politicians, the politicians I have found who are truly for the people are the following.

Cynthia McKinney (Green Party), Mike Gravel (Libertarian), Ralph Nader (Independent) and maybe Ron Paul (Republican -- he wasn't a hypocrite, he was for the people but with his form of 'libertarianism', corporations would take control).

Amazing video, by the way.

The rich look after their own, the rest of the 'herd' can go and look after themselves.
