Re: Shirley deLong; ma'am...do you think Mr. Biden lost the debate? I don't think he ever got closer than when he allowed Mrs. Palin to call him Joe, when it was revealed by her actions that it was all to turn his name toward a prearranged insul that fell flat, flat, flat. If you asked me for informality, and i was a Senator, I would say sure, and for what purpose? Because if the object is to reach a point of friendship and amity then fine, call me by my name. If you want to score points trying to look smart issed what you are not well educated or knowledgable, and have been spreading every well tried lie from one end of the country to the next, then you might as well keep it formal.... Now, I abuse the heckout of  people. For that very reason I try to show people proper respect. Unlike Mr. Biden, I do often impugn people's motives, and not just thier judgement only because I realize how often the prospect of personal gain warps a person's judgement. Now, far more people voted for Mr. Biden than are in the state of Alaska, counting dogs. And, I wouldn't care, and haven't cared for what party a person belongs to. If a lot of people have voted for them, I don't really care for the reason, their motive or their judgement. It is because I respect my fellow citizens that I give any respect to their representatives. So, what you call Mr. Biden's scratching his face, I call an old balding guy under a hot light trying to inconspicuously wipe a bit of sweat away. No one wants to look like Nixon against Kennedy. Everyone wants to look like Kennedy. But that low life dirty trick pulled by Mrs. Palin under the cover of civility and informality was a slam at every citizen represented by Mr. Biden. If it was me I'd just say: Call me Senator, Governor.  If people can't be trusted with informality they should not have it. We may all work for  the republicans, but it sure gets old being treated like a maid.....Thanks....Sweeney

Re: Shirley deLong;...And Ma'am, if you don't mind me asking, how did Fanny Mae, and Freddie Mac bankrupt America before the Nation assumed all their bad debt? If the whole country was not bankruptded by too much debt and too little of production in society then these loan sharks would not be going bankrupt. They have done squeezed all the wealth they can out of society, and the government thinks that by feeding them money they will pass it out, and the bloom of spring will burst forth. We give them good money for bad debt, but that will not change the basic dynamic at work that all the moveable wealth, and capital of the country has been put into hands already wealthy. Export all your capital, short pay everyone and give them credit instead of fair wages and watch the whole country fall into your pockets. This bailout was foolish. For the democrats to take the hit for that bailout when it is likely to break the whole country was a failed test of intelligence. It really gives the republicans an edge going into this election. It would have been better for the country to tell the world to go to hell, and tell the rich to quit feeding on us, and manage the economy like we were a country at war. To allow that anarchy with our army strung out half way around the world is another failure of intelligence. I understand the international character of capitalism. Why should we enjoy slaving for foreign masters more than our own masters? Credit has removed the choice from our lives. Credit has many a foreign tail wagging this dog. We should tell them all they are on their own. Thanks...Sweeney

It seems the Democrats knew that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was bankrupting America this long before it was brought to public's attention! As usual, they continued to sweep it under the rug! What does this tell you about the Democrats? It tells Taxpayers that Joe Biden wants to be President of United States, so badly, he's continuing to lie and play the blame game! This was proven on the debate as he constantly scratched his face. This was a sure sign of his covering up for himself and Obama! Carter (1977) & Clinton, his admiminstration and greed, got America into this Wall Street mess. Obama is now trying to dig the final grave for Americans as Chicago is millions behind and he's looking for Taxpayers to 'fix' this. Could this be why Obama insists on the 'debates' and his 'hyped up' speeches? Think of the money that could and should be saved for America's future! America, it's time to wake up and smell the coffee, while you can afford to buy it! Priority should be 'Fair Tax' and include 'PROPERTY TAXES'! This is the only way to end the 'Tax & Spend' politicians on every level of government! Taxpayers are fed up and aren't going to bailout Wall Street, AIG, Fannie Mae nor Freddie Mac? It's time to 'shut down and hunt down' the CEO's, the politicians who backed such schemes, and the big money hounds of the insurance industry, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac! Politicians are absolutely responsible for the bankruptcy of these organizations and the layoffs of American jobs! If these 'so- called pillows of the community' don't pay off this $700 billion, with their own monies, plus the other trillions of dollars they've created, then there's bigger reasons for Taxpayers to investigate, immediately, what's really going on! Since politicians have so much time on their hands to make bad decisions that's cost America everything, it's time they're put on notice that ‘their position' is now limited to one (1) month a year'. Of course, this means a maximum salary of $12,000.00 yearly. No more freebies, no raises, or extras, since these 'positions' were supposed to be 'as public servants', instead of a lifetime of taking Taxpayers money you haven't earned. Come to think of it, politicians never served the Taxpayers only themselves! THIS IS NOW A PROVEN FACT, ISN'T IT!
