No, I don't think the only reason we went to war was revenge for sr, i think there were a lot of reasons, some good , some bad. after 9-11 everybody wanted somebody to pay for that. i can't believe after 7 years, they can't find the guy who masterminded & funded the attack. as far as the economy, i think lawyers & insurance companys are more of a drain on the working man than oil ceos. at least when i pay $4.00 a gallon, i can drive10 or 12 miles( i own a dodge) to a job to work & get paid. i just cut $4000 checks for health, car,& homeowner ins. & don't plan on using any one of them.

I may be a young-un, but anybody that knows me will tell you that I'm more like a 50+ year old guy. Most of my friends were my dad's age because people my age just didn't think or act like me. I personally feel that nobody in this world owes me ANYTHING, and that I'm the only one who can help me. I don't believe that the government should control society, or even have a strong influence upon it. I know that I cannot talk politics with my girlfriend because she always says that I am a cold callused monster. I know that my ideals are probably not the best, but they are how I feel.

I personally was really hoping for RON PAUL to have a dog in this fight for this election, he was the one canidate who shared many of my views. I don't feel we should be the worlds babysitter rendering aid every time something happens. I feel that our military should leave areas where we fought wars years back. The middle east is just a small portion of our troops and military spending. What about GERMANY, KOREA, or GRENADA? Not to mention the countless other areas we still have a military presence in? As for the whole middle east scenario. If CLINTON would have finished the job, we wouldn't have had to gone back in there again. CLINTON had intel and numerous oportunities to have stopped al quida years ago, yet he was to busy playing swallow the leader with MONICA.

Our nation has let itself be consumed by it's government, we simply went from having a monarchy overseas to one within our borders. Our government has been funding so many covert operations for decades now leading up to our current situation that it would make many sick beyond belief. But that is the hand that we dealt ourselves by rendering ourself's into sheeple and allowing a small group of people to control the masses. Obama is just the puppet to finish off there plans, but then again McCain isn't much better. I'll go back to my conspiracy theorist layer now.

I just got done talking to one of my co-workers that is doing a two year
stint in Germany.
He tells me that people inthis country should be careful what they are wishing for.
Germans pay approx 50% income tax, 19% sales tax on everything they purchase
and gas is $9.00 a gallon because of taxes, ALL TO PAY FOR SOCIALIZED MEDICAL CARE.
Just look at our neighbors in CANADA, they are having health care issues.
People are dying because they cannot get a quick appointment with their doctor.

"Tax the rich feed the poor."
Problem in our country is that the rich and the porr have the most say,
so the middle class pays for everything.

Pure Socialist, Pure communist societies would work,
except that people get in the way.
