Bailout of Wall Street just a ploy to get votes
For many years, politicians would complain that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. As I watch the stock market drop, I wonder why Democrats are worried about portfolios of those on Wall Street and regular folks like all of us who are losing money in their investments. I thought this is something they would approve of. After all, doesn’t this help level the playing field now? Doesn’t this make all of us equal?
The Democrats have always used the rich (and I still don’t know what rich is) against the poor. The Democrats should be delighted, but for some reason they are helping bail out Wall Street. Why can’t they just admit they use this rhetoric to get votes from those who are struggling to make ends meet.
Turn the TV off and stop listening to those 30-second sound bites from candidates. Do some independent research and examine whom you are voting for. Check their voting records so you can make an informed vote and just maybe this rhetoric will stop.
This country belongs to you and me — not politicians in Raleigh and Washington.

Don,
If folks check the voting records of McCain, then vote in the best interest of our nation, he would receive nary a vote. Take away his vile sound bites that encourage doubt and mistrust of his opponent and he would have nothing left except his voting record. You know he could not stand on that alone.

" Do some independent research and examine whom you are voting for."
.. THEN maybe we'll get rid of the Two Party System which is now nor has ever been in America's best interest.

This letter is pretty sad.
Regurgitation of GOP talking points, pure and simple.
But they left out, "God's Will" and saying something about Gay marriage and how Democrats are "Pro Abortion". Guess they didn't get the talking points memo from Oak Ridge Runner or Tonymo!! LOL!
