   Michelle, this is totally creepy. It’s even worse than Cindy McCain’s recipes ripped off from the Food Network. It’s like when I was a kid and my mother told me to smile even though I didn’t feel like it. I’m an adult and I’m going to say what I want about McCain and I don’t have to smile if I don’t want to either. Now when I read any blog mentioning McCain I have to ask myself, is this real, or is it Memorex? Is it a heartfelt post, or is a sack of cow manure composed to get “points”? Does this post count for points? Yeah John, you look great for 71. And you have a nice smile. I wonder if it’s sincere?

This is reminding me of Obama: on substance, he doesn’t have anything near what it takes to get the popular vote, so he has to rely on fluffy promises of HOPE and CHANGE and the Democrat Party’s astoundingly un-democratic delegate system to win. McCain leaves a few steps out and tries to bribe us anyway.

    There are serious issues at stake in this election, and serious differences between the candidates. And we will argue about them, as we should. But it should remain an argument among friends; each of us struggling to hear our conscience, and heed its demands; each of us, despite our differences, united in our great cause, and respectful of the goodness in each other.

    BHO sat through Jeremiah Wright’s sermons for twenty years, and remembered enough of them to name a book after one of the sermons, and be able to quote “The White Man’s Greed runs a world in need”.

    I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and would like to hear what others have to say too. McCain made the comment he knows nothing about economics and apparently doesn’t think this is of any importance. I assume this is probably true about most of Congress.

    How… how can anyone make legislation and vote on bills when they know nothing about economics? Shouldn’t that be mandatory before being elected to office? How disfunctional is it when someone doesn’t understand what the IMPACT will be economically of the bills they author or vote on.

    Is it any wonder our country is such a mess…

    Conservatives need to recruit a batch of economists to run for office.

    I’m adding that to the long list of things required before I’ll return to the GOP. Many people say, “It’s the economy, stupid!” I’m changing that to It’s economics, stupid!

    Joy,

    I am finishing a bachelor of science degree in economics before heading to an as of yet unknown MBA program preferably in finance.

    I more than agree with you that candidates should not be making laws on subjects they don’t understand..particularly economics.

    The only way to address the problem you have alluded to is to require that no one may graduate from undergraduate college without having completed economics courses through the intermediate level…so that said students has the tools to assess what happens when this or that is done to an economy, and its inhabitants.

    This kind of tool of analysis is even more important today than say 30 years ago because of the fact that globalism-the free flow in trade, people, and money is now reality and not some arcane theory-it impacts how bad or good how you will live depending on what actions your nation’s leaders take.
