Let the gov. bail this one. This is how; All gov. employees live on their minimum wage thats set for making a living for one year and eliminate one aide job per office. Even if you have to go get your own coffee. Pay for your own gasoline and drive your own car. Thats how we do it this time and by the way, if thats not enough money to get you by for a month, you can take a day off work and go see if you qualify for assistance. See it's easy this way

McCain may be old but he is has shown strong leadership and stands by his convictions. Choosing a running mate such as Sarah Palin just seals the deal!

Let's start to focus on the issues instead. Energy, economics, taxes and how they are spent, regulations, housing, healhcare, medicare and the loss of jobs that are existing in our home state because of cheap labor overseas. People really need to get involved and the urgency is approaching based on the rising cost of fuel.

These issues can be identified and cured if we can collectively present and appeal to the non partisan masses. It is not about your party! It is about your/our futures!

Throw the bums out... they are old they are time worn... and they are playing the same old games... while the world marches on... Get on board people and stop expecting the people who created this mess to clean it up... send John home to play golf and Sarah home to take care of her special needs baby and let the rest of us... vote to retire them... for our sake...
