as i have been somewhat listening to the speeches of our presidential candidates, i start thinking about all the cliches that are said. i can't help but wonder if any of what they say they will do actually gets done. there are two quotes that i found, in succession, from Rudy Giuliani on MSNBC that got me thinking.
Giuliani promised that McCain would “lower taxes so our economy can grow.”
“He will reduce government spending to strengthen our dollar,” Giuliani said.

doesn't McCain want to continue the war on Iraq? now i am certainly not one that understands the economy very well, but i have to pose the question; how can you lower taxes, reduce government spending and fund a war? like i said, i am no expert but does this mean he is going to pay for the war with his own money? if that is the case, then i might have to reconsider.

I'm so glad your blogging! And I'm proud of all the research you are putting forth into these elections.
Welcome to the world of politics during an election year. Everybody wants to be the good guy so you will vote for them, even if it means making contradictory statements. Personally, I am going to write-in-vote for the Joker. "It's all part of the plan!"

I always laugh when Democrats say they won't raise taxes because they always want programs...and in order to have programs you have to have taxes. Taxes aren't necessarily a bad thing, as long as they go to where they were supposed to go.
