Comment on The View from the Summit - Americans for Prosperity by Sarah

I am guessing that Maryland delegation is REALLY small, as my beloved home state has been quite successful at leading the nation in wacky, liberal economic policies.

Now, excuse me while I grab my “Independence” Card and go shopping at an overtaxed store that is preparing to move its business across the river to Virginia.

Kathy,

OK, I’ll be sure to watch out for scripture flying at my head.
For crying out loud.

Catherine,

Please be careful. My friends in PA have guns and Bibles.

Comment on 2008 Debates, Vol. II, The Sequel that Begs for Less by Rick

Catherine…..BO supporters may feel McCain was condescending, and McCain supporters will feel that BO, with his little smirks, was condescending and arogant. No real substance was revealed here by either guy. No one connected with the American people, no one got angry, and convinced me that they would go to the gates of HELL in order to correct it and make the ones responsible pay for their abuse.

I wish someone would be a bit disrespectful to the guys who allowed this Fannie and Freddie mess. There needs to be some jail time , Barney Frank comes to mind, Dodd seems like another. I am encouraged, lol, by the superior handling by our gov. in this matter, and find it unimaginable how anyone would want to allow more control of ANYTHING by Washington, either side.

Also, most people listening,who never paid attention to the world of loans, probably thought Fannie and Freddie were the first names of Sugarland. People had no idea what Fannie and Freddie did before current events hit them in the face, and if you talked to the man in the streets today, most could not tell you what they “do” today.
Surveys that I have heard of show that a large section of the population have trouble naming the VP, Sec. of State, even who in in the POTUS office, local Congressman, Senator, or even Gov. of their state. Pretty poor if you ask me. I also think this goes for knowledge of either candidate’s platform in detail, not just the “change” garbage.

Sarah,

Of course I did, at 10:30am this morning. You?

By the way, I am going to volunteer for the Obama campaign in PA on Oct 29-30.

Love,
Catherine

Catherine,

If only there was anything humorous about an Obama administration. Yes, I used extreme and silly examples concerning the extent to which Obama wants to stretch government’s tentacles, but I have no doubt that Obama envisions a better society through government.

Did you call Mom and wish her a happy birthday?

Love,
Sarah

Sarah,

Is it necessary for you to come across as extremist and a little off your rocker to express your dislike of Obama’s proposed policies?
I am going to assume that some of your comments are inflated for the purpose of some attempt at humor (”Every decision from health care and education to how high the grass blades of your lawn can be and what condiments you can put on your turkey sandwich will be dictated from D.C.”).
Seriously, Sarah.

Love,
Catherine

Actually, Rick, McCain didn’t even bother humanizing Obama - he referred to him as “that one,” not “that guy.”
I’m not going to get anywhere near a racial argument with that comment, but I do think it was pretty disrespectful.
I am more bothered that McCain assumed people (or was it just the one questioner in particular?) had no idea who/what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were before the current financial troubles.
McCain came across as rather condescending.

Sean,

I am no longer in the classroom, so I guess I should have written “former government teacher” (it’s not like being a Marine). If I was, I would never direct my students to write an essay to promote my own political perspective. I always encouraged my students to be involved and interested … I never told them how to think.
