Wall Street is collapsing and many other commercial and industrial giants are either declining or on the way to final collapse. No one could have ever imagined how fragile our economy is and how
dependent of one another the business enterprise is in America and around the world.
Millions are suffering from stress and depression after seeing their life-time savings and retirement investments evaporate overnight. Many have lost everything that they had.
In the meantime, winter is about to arrive and is threatening to inflict a lot of suffering on elderly people living on fixed incomes and the poor. They will not be able to buy heating fuel oil, gas or pay their
electric bills. And the greedy Arabs and their friends will see that oil prices remain high either by curtailing production or raising prices.
Groceries and other needed products such as medicine are going over the roof and becoming unaffordable for most people.
People are losing their homes and have nowhere to go. It is too late for finger pointing and assigning blame, a major catastrophe is a reality for millions of Americans; nothing can be more painful than
losing one’s home.
Then, America is at war and will be for years to come either in Iraq, Afghanistan or other places where America’s haters reside.
Unresolved and in desperate need of reform are major programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, health care, immigration, homeland security, energy diversification, clean air, unemployment,
foreign aid and other programs that need to be fixed now.
America is going to need leadership: a real leader that can take charge.
America is going to need someone who will put “country first”— someone who can work both sides of the aisle. America is going to need someone who understands military science and can command
the most powerful and technological armed forces in the world today. America needs someone who can command respect around the world.
America needs John McCain. His proven leadership, experience and love of country is what America needs now.

Hardly likely that he learned socialism from prison camp. I firmly believe he is a dye in the wool Capitolist. It’s easy to hook ones wagon to legislative programs that have got the chance of a snowflake in hades of passing. It gives the appearance of supporting a more democratic socialist stance, while in reality one knows the measures won’t pass. This sets the political scenario of being a democratic socialist reformer, when in fact he’s a democratic capitolist.

“‘Our economy is in crisis. Financial markets are collapsing. Credit is drying up. Your savings are in danger. Your retirement is at risk. Jobs are disappearing. The cost of health care, your children’s college, gasoline and groceries are rising all the time with no end in sight. While your most important asset—your home—is losing value every day.‘
“And, oh yes: ‘Americans are fighting in two wars.‘
This quote was from John McCain and published in the WP today. Yes, this is the same John McCain running for president on the Socialist Liberal Republican ticket and the same John McCain that has supported President Bush 95% of the time.
If McCain was wrong about the past 8 years - by supporting Bush - how can we trust him for our future? The answer, of course, is that we simply can’t withstand another 4 years of Socialist Liberial Republicanism in power.

Leadership: voted with Bush 95^ of the time. Sounds like a puppy dog.
Experience: in what?
Love of country: dont’ they all have this?
Sorry, you fail to state what McCain is going to change, how he will change it, and how he will pay for it.
Duh!!

The NYSE Composite will lead the way, the Dow will follow. The big announced european style bailout isn’t today, it was yesterday. The big eight banks, after the deal was struck, most likely Sunday, stepped in yesterday to buy up stock to reduce the dilution caused by the Shares issued to the Treasury. This caused a market rally, consider it also happened on a day when only the Exchange was open, and nothing was open in Canada. The banks didn’t use the money to increase available credit, they used it to bring their stock portfolios back into line.
Ha, if McCain was smart, he and his advisors spent yesterday trying to get their money out of the market while the getting was good.

This really is a hilarious letter btw. Mr. Dominguez gives a laundry list of the mess that George W. Bush and his GOP cronies have wrought upon this country.
Then says John McCain is the guy to fix the problem?

Well, we now know why McCain didn’t release his new economic plan yesterday. Watch the Market today.

Yea, that’s what we need.
We need to contine to follow the very leaders that got us lost in the woods in the first place. Let’s trust John McCain when he says I got you into this mess, I know the way out.
Uh, no thanks. I think I’ll follow the new guy Obama that came prepared with a plan and a map to get us back home to safety.
No More Years of the Bush Administration.
