I guess it escaped their notice, so is John McCain.

And what happens when the federal government sets up a competing pension system for American workers? Do you think that employers will continue to offer pensions, or do you suppose they'll shrug that off and let the government take up the slack instead? We will have created another massive new entitlement system, when we can't afford the ones we have now.

Even worse, the gov't would immediately set income caps on who can participate. As the system became insolvent, the caps would be moved lower and lower. The system would be rigged from the get-go as a wealth transfer mechanism from the "rich" to everybody else. But in short order, the "rich" will be those making more than $50,000 per year. As usual, the "rich" would be left to fend for themselves.

This is precisely what happened to my wife and me with the current fiscal stimulus package -- we are left out in the cold because our joint income is too high. But, with two kids in college and the California cost of living, we are far, far from rich. I'm just forking my contribution over to some schlub who has no income.

Hussein is apt to ride in ona recession which he and the Democongress will “fight” with tremendouds new spending and massive programs which will send the economy really into the tank and with the permanent socialism quickly instituted because of the “recession” and maintained with the help of the millions of new Democrats legalized by fast-track Amnesty the Democrat reign will be permanent and the United States of America will be tumbling down the slope into third world Aztlan and in Ciudad Mexico they will begin to refer to us as Nortemexicanos.

It will be easy to portray him as even harder-left than Hillary


Thats what Larry Sinclair says

I happen to believe that Obama is easier to beat than Hillary. Recent elections have been decided in Florida, Ohio, Missouri and New Mexico. I think McCain would have an edge over Obama in all those states, especially in Florida. McCain would beat Obama in a landslide in Florida.

If Barack wins thereafter the presidency of the United States, he will be the first leftist politician in that country and another signal of the present and future times in this continent.

And Islamic terrorists throughout the world will receive it as a sign that the Almighty has given them victory - And will increase geometrically their Jihad murders, even against other Muslims, worldwide.
