While I was not a die hard McCain supporter (actaully wanted Ramney)I think he would be doing a far better job than Obama and team. The one thing with republicans they bring in the best and brightest minds.

In my original post I was referring to Reagan saving the country from the disaster of the Carter years ... and we are headed back there and then some. The next great crisis (in my hummble opinion) is going to be a curreny crisis. The Chinese want to send us a message that we are no longer the power we once were and will try to force us to a world currency. To do so they will start to pull dollars out of treasuries, which is funding Obama's spending spree. that is going to send interest rates sky rocketing and inflation will follow. We won't be able to just print more money as Obama thinks as it will be worthless. If this happens, we will have another depression and may not come out of it. But I think Obama is on a very dangerous course.

One thing I will add to the debate on the constitution, is what I think the founding fathers meant by the right to bear arms. I don't feel it has anything to do with gun laws directly. I think they were referring to the peoples right to take back government in an extreme case. We are getting close to that extreme case.

As for who will emerge as the next republican leader ... I don't know yet. But I do know anyone will be better than the disaster we have now. We can disagree about Bush, because I think he did a great job not only in national security, but remember Clinton left office with a severer recession with the tech bubble collapse and then 9/11 hit. It was through swift economic policy changes that pulled us out and prevented something far worse. He took a lot of heat from dems about unemployment, etc ... but his programs worked and with far less debt and expansion of government. I think Bush and the republicans spent way too much, but it pales in comparrision to Obama.

Lastly, tax cuts do work. Supply side does work. It creates "real" growth" and increases real revenue to the government. This whole thing about the top 5% paying their fair share is BS. They already pay 70% of all the taxes. What beyond that is more fair?

I will close with a bumper sticker I recently saw: Obama: "Spread my work ethic, not my wealth !"

That says it all. People have more pride from earning, not handouts. and those that just want to depend on the government have not experience the pride of earning and bettering themselves. Most on this board that are clearly against Obama, have a little money they earned through hard work. I came from a very poor family, was only one of 4 kids to go to college and paid every cent myself through loans and part time jobs. Do I want the government taking more from me than I already have to pay so someone that was not willing to put in the effort and sacrifice and take the risks I took to get what I have ... not a chance.
