When McCain gained traction as the Presidential nominee I convinced myself I'd hold my nose and vote for the man that literally destroyed the GOP and it's values.

What a Maverick!

He then brings a bright, intelligent woman on his ticket with strong conservative values and the GOP reignites, including myself.

After last night's debate I don't know why McCain didn't hit Obama hard and frequently. His performance was weak at best. If that's McCain's Maverick approach, it might work in the Beltway but not with the American people.

To top it all off he's going to have banks renegotiate defaulted loan? Say what! Sounds like nuance for public housing. We own our home free and clear and have no debt. We've worked 45 years to earn what we have in our lives. Now we are sitting here with what's left of our “nest egg” after the last month and the government wants us to “rescue” those who would prefer to live beyond their means?

My kids never wore $250 Nikes, 24K Bling, or $100 designer jeans. We didn't buy the McMansion, go to Hawaii for Christmas vacation or buy every kid a car when they were 16.
Kids only got braces if they need them and not as a fashion statement to show how much money mom and dad had. No Limos for the Prom, much less a $500 dress and a professional hair-do and make over.

I am exhausted this election! The only one that gets it is Sara Palin. Most Americans may think they are living their dream, but they are creating a nightmare. Reminds me of the commercial of the guy on the rider mower who is beside his self.

Sorry/rant off

I've reminded myself of that guy a lot. Now I'm in DA, I listen to Dave Ramsey, and I haven't taken on any debt in almost three months. If we don't fall apart, I'll be stronger for it.
