Even their supporters should be able to see that they redistributed our wealth to Iraq, Afghanistan, and every large bank corporation, and every stock brokerage. They by their policies have us still sending 700 billion to other for oil. Us and our children are mortgaged to about forty thousand in debt. They took our money and gave it to other Countries. Even if Obama wanted to spead it around at least it would be for our people and our Country.</p> Someone has to call McCain and the Republicans on the talk of redistribution of wealth that the Joe thing got them started on.

I’m far and away the most “ethnic” person connected to my husband’s midwestern family by virtue of my grandparents spending twenty or so years in northern italy before they came over to die of old age here.

Do you believe McCain is indignant how everyone is bothering Joe/Sammy now? McCain should produce reality shows after he is defeated! He has the gift. </p> <p>And though Letterman was masterful pressing McCain about himself and Palin, I suspect McCain helped himself with one more “shucks.. I screwed up…” apology to Dave and everyone admires how strong he is to cop to stuff in that macho cute way, without breaking a sweat. AGGGHHHHHHH! And Gordon Liddy has paid his dues and McCain is proud of that “pal around”, but get the pitchforks after Ayers whom Obama doesn’t even pal around with, but is doing good works!</p> <p>The genius of it all is … Ayers gets no credit for his good works. And when Obama denies being Muslim and running for President … he subtley invalidates Muslims … who are NOT equal to being terrorists by being Muslim … and it would be okay if Obama were but he is NOT! But the fear-mongering works using Obama’s denials, even. It gets all so “tails you lose, heads I win” when you are dealing with bottom feeding scum suckers. Corporate media considers it all gamesmanship. Morality/Integrity blind commentary. Those declaring they are wielding morality (Christian right authoritarians) are the most amoral/immoral of all!</p> Sounds like one of the Sopranos guys.

I really don’t think they can count on the number of people they need to vote their prejudices over their pocketbooks and their kids’ futures, particularly with all the economic villains they have to explain away.
