Before this bailout thing, I honestly probably wasn't going to vote. Needless to say, Texas isn't a battleground state, and they have a rule here where if you vote, you're basically about twice as likely to be called for jury duty than any other residents. In light of that, I would have just assumed not expose myself to a possible jury duty summons all other things being equal.
However, our Congressman, John Culberson, voted against the bailout twice... so now I'm going to vote so I can vote against him. |

? That should be even more reason to vote FOR him. Fuck the bailout.

![]() The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. ![]() |

Government wisely investing tax dollars in undervalued mortgages or standing on the sidelines and watching the country collapse because no one can lend money.
HMMMMMMMMM.... C'mon Chad... you're smarter than that. |

I'm awake at 5:34 A.M. It might have been the best night I could have ever had. I got to listen to Ted Nugent. You talk about someone who speaks the way I feel. I can't explain my ideas better then he can. Palin/McCain couldn't change my mind, but god damnit, Ted Nugent has my mind racing. And it's way to damn early for that. I'm going to rewatch this interview tomorrow. I encourage everyone to watch it. Glenn Beck conducted the interview as a very unbiased party.
Wow, eyes wide open after tonight. Things have changed quite a bit on this side of the fence. |

ID, why not spoil your vote? How does it work there, I think everyone should vote, those that don't agree with any of the candidates should spoil, those apathetic should not vote, are spoilt votes counted differently to those who haven't voted?
Also, my views don't count for shit, but Obama. David Cameron (young conservative change guy) is pretty much the next pm here, I can't see Obama getting on well with gordon brown. |

Thanks for the heads up about Nugent, Shaw. Just googled his name along with "McCain" and liked a lot of the blogs he's written - so I ordered his book Ted, White, and Blue which comes out next week.

In principal, I agree with you f3lix. However, in this case, the government was the only entity wealthy enough to make an investment necessary to the future health of businesses throughout this country.
Just because government spending is usually a bad investment doesn't mean that is always the case. |

UB, you might want to check out is interview with Glenn Beck. It was pretty good. The Nuge is very passionate about his politics. He didn't shy away from going after both political parties, and even mentioned his interest in running for govenor of Michigan.

It is odd. I was a huge Hilary guy. I didn't make that a secret. I was a huge Obama guy until the last week. Everything those networks are saying is that McCain is soooo slanderous. He has ads out, but they are personal. Somewhere along the lines in the last 2 days, apparently McCain's campaign decieded Obama was a terriost. Today, a member of the McCain town hall spoke about Obama being a terriost. McCain said that he wasn't and is tryont to take care of the nation. I really wish we could do away with party lines and just elect Obama McCain. Sorry, but I can't vote for a female who is completly clueless on everthing
