It was a bunch of white people that outsourced American jobs. It was a bunch of white people that run these big companies into the ground and are corrupt and are lobbyists.

I voted for George Bush, and I believed the things he said about Gore and McCain without looking at things objectively. I got caught up in the rhetoric and emotions. I vowed not to have that happen again. But under Republican rule, I watched people train their Indian and Chinese counterparts, and jobs they were skilled to do for American companies move to non-American hands. All so they can meet Wall Street numbers on double digit growth year to year, which is unrealistic. US companies continued to make more and more profit by laying off more and more people. And you wonder how we got here. Look at it logically, if you get laid off, you can’t afford your mortgage. Your house gets foreclosed, etc, etc.

Looking at it objectively, I do not like the fear and decisiveness of the Republican party, that is not American.

Both sides have bad points, but the President doesn’t run the country, he has a lot of people around him that take care of things and make recommendations. It’s the people he surrounds himself with that will be important. And if McCain is going to support himself with the same Republicans that got us into this mess, then that isn’t good for this country. And seeing how he has George Bush’s people running his staff, I don’t see things changing with McCain.
