Sick of hearing about Ayers
LLR, Ayers was appointed to the board that he and Mr. Obama (and several republicans as well as democrats)served on, by a Republican appointed by Reagan. I guess, they are all terrorists - guilty by association. Get over it and stick to the real issues - the economy, job loss, lack of healthcare, immigration (which neither of the candidates are talking about), etc.
Economy-- raising taxes does not build economy.
Sweden,
Ireland, and others have recently lowered their taxes and increased revenue.
Thomas Jefferson
wrote about the lie of taking from one to give to another.
The Bible reads:
2Th 3:8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought
with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable
to any of you:
2Th 3:9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an exsample unto you to follow us.
2Th 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
2Th 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
2Th 3:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord
Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
Social Security-- we need a plan, not unlike the one that President Bush
proposed in a State of the Union Address during 2005. Lets try
Chile, they have already succeeded at private accounts.
Of course if the senate(mostly democrats) can not come to terms and vote yes on a bill to reform the Social Security System and if the American public can not see the need for this reform then the point is moot.
Job loss-- raising taxes on the job owners will only cause them to move overseas more and/or they will cut costs by cutting jobs, possibly automating, so as not to need people. The $3000.00 incentive Senator Obama offers won't work on the grounds alone that employment cost the employer more than $3000.00. Where is the incentive to create that job?
Health care-- it is not a right of the people. God does not promise us tomorrow. Universal Health care for children in Hawaii
has
failed because people who could afford their own bought into the free services offered by the state. Hawaii couldn't afford it anymore.
Immigration-- I'm sure God has something to say about it, but too few people, including you Amy, would listen.
President Reagan???
Senator Obama's associations and actions speak to his loyalties, his ideological leanings and possibly his intentions. Ayers, Odinga, ACORN, Freddie and Fannie contributions, Wright, a supposed letter to the Treasury Secretary in 2005. Senator Obama
warned that the
GSE's were a danger; however he would not stand up against his own party in the Senate, and he voted
present in reference to the
bill brought to vote in 2006.
Senator Obama is not a
good leader and without the prompter is not even a very eloquent speaker. Listen to him in interviews and the debates. He stumbles and stutters just like the rest of us do. He tries to work out his thoughts while speaking just like the rest of us do. I mention this only because so many people reference his speaking prowess as a reason why they admire him and/or are voting for him. He is hiding behind this cult of personality and is only childish, not a child of God, follower of Christ.
Jhn 15:4
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit.
Luke 13:9
And if it bear
fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.
