There is a glimmer of hope, as the precipitous drop in the economy seem to be slowing. Business failures and plant closings have dropped off, and new manufacturing industries are beginning to appear.

But change is slow to come as there is much persistence from the Republican party who cohesively votes down any idea they did not think of, a practice that, while showing their allegiance to their party, while doing a great disservice to the those in their constituency that they should be representing (The constituency is not 100 percent Republican.)
Of course there are also Dems that vote along party lines as well. But the Dems seem to present less of the mindless pettiness that has tainted the Republicans as of late. Personally I am fed up with the two party-system and would like to see more campaign reform that would allow other parties a better chance at office.

BTW, pretty much everything makes the comments here. But just calling us “bitter, angry juveniles throwing a tantrum” is not very convincing. You must explain why you have concluded this, you must elaborate a bit.

On another note, there are a few laws against making money. They apply when the money is made through the sales of goods and services that are detrimental to the buyers or to the well-being of society. There are also laws that prohibit making money by selling things that don’t exist.

(Bet this one won’t make it on your comments page, but I know you read it. I also suspect that you now realize how have been deceived. You’ll understand more when you grow up)

Sarah Palin is no different for those of the far right. I’ve seen posts where people rail she is a latter day Esther. It’s most interesting to note when Palin is off the leash, she demonstrates a singular lack of, and disdain for knowledge. The current campaign to hide Palin from scrutiny allows the red meat masses to consume her pre-digested wrathful protein and go home sated, making up for her filling for the gaps allowed by a conscious strategy of deception and omission. The scrariest part of Palin is that I cannot imagine her with any imagination. Palin’s snarky view and contempt for truth would allow her to lie for God and justify it in the name of the Lord!

Imagination is at the heart of creativity. These vicious folks have filled their hearts with hatred and crowded out possibility, all in the name of McCain-Palin which after inciting the crowd to scream “kill him!”, “terrorist!’ and “off with his head”, smile and go their dispicable way without denouncing the fanatics they might incite to anger or action.

John McCain has completely lost any integrity he may have once had, and I feel sorry for him. Sarah Palin never had any integrity to lose, and being so consumed with ambition, she will never have any.

When I’m done praying that America makes Barack Obama its next President, then I’ll pray for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
