    Re: Mainstream media yawns as Kucinich offers impeachment

    One thing I hate that a lot of politicians are doing is everyone wants to pretend they are helping the average citizens by bailing out the banking industry and people who could not afford their homes for the mortgage snafu. (As a side note I my mothers home was forclosed on but not because she couldnt afford) But they are not helping America any bail out would only worsen the situation and take my hard earned money out of my hands in the form of taxes to be able to fund the bail out. The banks should not be rewarded for offering loans to people they knew couldnt afford it and people should not be compensated for not reading the term of their loans and want a hand out. I think the government should do nothing and let our capitalist country correct the problem on its own and stop pretending like they are helping the country. This is a problem on both sides of the isle. One that I have seen that does not want this is McCain. I am a conservative if you could not tell, but I like Tgwinn stated am not a Kool-aid drinker who ever believes closest to me I will support. But something needs to be done about how the banks bend us over (my previous words were I guess bad so they edited it) every day in this country other nations do not allow it and it shouldnt be because they hold the money. I am in favor of interest rates because they are a business and need to make a profit. I object to rates of more than single digits and fees that they mysteriously come up with. Overdraft fees, Origination fees, and all FY fees  (to edit myself).

        I would vote for the following.

        1. End the Iraq War NOW & Leave
        2. Secure the borders and prevent further illegals from coming into the US
        3. Increase the sales tax on all items but food and clothing.  So that all people including drug lords, prostitues, illegals that dont pay taxes, Oil company CEO's and whatnot, will be putting some kind of money back into the system.
        4.  Pro-Life - There are no mistakes, there is only you.  Illegalize Abortion with one exception, and that is when the mothers life is at risk.  That's it no other reason.  Birth the child and give up for adoption. Its only 9 months of your life, its a lifetime for that child.
        5.  Operate the Federal Government on a balanced budget no matter what programs have to be cut or ended.  If possible run on surplus so that our debts can be repaid.

        If even one of those canidates would guarantee one of those, I would vote for them.

        Unfortunately,...neither one will commit to either.

          I think we have successful hijacked this post sorry CF. But I agree with 2-5 we need a national flat tax or sales tax that is the same no matter how much you make and no matter if you are an individual or a company about a 10% tax on all products excluding food this includes charging a kind of tariff on outside products so that no one tries to circumvent the rule. The government needs to stop piggy-backing projects and all of the stupid projects the government spends like our broken welfare system and spending to build huge bridges in areas that have very little traffic to warrant them. I think I am done hijacking this post

            Re: Mainstream media yawns as Kucinich offers impeachment

            the sad reality Geoff, is that all of them no matter the party affiliation, will promise those things and never follow through...they say what the polling data says they should say in order to keep power.  Thats the one thing that All government needs LESS of in my life.....power.  The only constant and trustworthy thing we have to put stock in is ourselves.  Only we can bring about real change and reform....some people want to point fingers and put blame on any president or congress, when the real blame lies with the people who allow these broken polital parties to continue....when the majority of Americans stand up and say enough is enough....only then will things begin to get fixed.

                  Re: Mainstream media yawns as Kucinich offers impeachment

                  By most accounts from commanders and the likes we are slowly winning the war in Iraq. Everyone must remember We were in Japan in an authoritarian presence for roughly 2 decades after WW 2 and the same for Germany and South Korea after the Korean war. It has been 5 years on this one and everyone is claiming a loss. I do feel that we should withdrawal all of our troops from countries that either bash the US or do not pay. We spend roughly 4% of Japans GDP on defending Japan currently and the Japanese spends about 1%. I think all nations should help pay for the defense or we leave and if a country bashes us we should leave case in point Germany and Korea. I think that would send a message. The US has spent billions in Germany on service men/women living and buying products their and on all of our construction of one of the biggest Army medical hospital in Germany. They would loose all of that money and their economy would falter and then the Euro wouldnt be so great. We could spend our money in our country.

                    Re: Mainstream media yawns as Kucinich offers impeachment

                    There are no winners or losers in a war, during or after, only memories of loved ones that will be missed dearly for decades.

                    If there are any real winners, it's folks like Haliburton (**** Cheney) defense contractors, and bankers.

                    Besides, the war on terror, is a fabrication of GB, congress never asked for it, nor did GB address the public, (you and I) and say, well, should we or shouldn't we? He gave us an ultimatum, "you're either with us, or your' with the terrorist" .....

                    I say "get a rope" or more realistically, impeach and prosecute him to the fullest.

                      Darbex, I agree we have a very large military presence in Japan. I was stationed there for three years. Who are we defending Japan from? We have bases there because we want bases there, not ostensibly to protect them from anyone.

                        Raul,

                        No matter what we do, they will topple that government we put into place, because they will never accept it.  It is the puppet government of the infidels.

                        The war has to end, so end it now, bring home our guys, and end it.  Let them kill each other, and then once the dust settles, they will have to spend their own resources to come and get us.  Right now that entire region is just about living on our nickel.

                        They are getting what they wanted, America is going to the toilet.  You want to keep paying 4, 5 bucks a gallon?

                        Our dollar is failing because of government overspending.  Want to know where 80% of that overspending is going???

                          I consider myself a simple guy, I like simple, simple is good.  

                          When we were attacked on 9/11, I'm glad we had someone with balls to punch back.  We needed to say "Hay!  We ain't going to take that $h_t from no one...feel our wrath!"  I ain't saying GB was right, but the boy did alot more than any other President twiddling his thumbs, worried about what the public thought.  We are not always going to be privy to all the truth or information, I consider that a given.  I have to have faith that our government is acting in our best interest over all.  I know, I know...its not perfect, tell me one that is.  The point is it works and has checks and balances to keep it all straight for the most part.  

                          I have a problem with those who just want to whine about it, the problem will not get fixed overnight and that's for sure.  Vote and write your congressman, that's action.  I don't think I like Barak...I feel like he will just be the worst thing to happen and that is not based on his color.  

                          As for Iraq, right or wrong we have a commitment to remain there.  Too many lives have been lost and I hate to think of their sacrifice to be a cheapened because the U.S. says "Oh, we don't want to play anymore.  Thanks for the hospitality and good luck.  We hope you enjoyed the brief taste of democracy, but that will soon be over.   My sister was over there and though I worried about her, I am proud of her.  

                          Just too many things to rant about.  I respect everyone's opinion, just respect mine.

                              I've seen enough of Terrorstorm to know what it is.  Your point is?  Are you suggesting a revolution?  A Coup? (**Spelling)

                              I do not believe 9/11 was a stage set where americans/people were sacrificed by our government.  Sorry.  I'm not going to fall under the spell of terrorism to cause americans to hate their own country.  I take alot for granted, but I'm proud to be an american and will defend it if called upon.  

                              Steve, you are my bud, but I know we will not see eye to eye on this...LOL
