Well what do you know...he broke a promise
Breaking promises before he is even elected, how many more do you think he is going to break. I am sure your Taxes will go down and we are are going to be better off because he wants to spread the wealth around, those are his promises too right.

Meghan McCain's View
This is Senator John McCain Daughter's Blog, I read it and thought it was inspiring, and by all means go vote!!!
When I started the Blogette last year, I wanted to show people what happens behind the scenes in a national campaign. I did this because I love my family and I knew that it might surprise people to see how normal this experience can be. I know this has been a difficult campaign for a lot of people. I know there are many who just want to get past the last eight years. And I know there are people who are so desperate for change they will do anything to get what they think is a better deal.
I make no excuses for the state of politics today. But I want everyone to know that my dad is more than ready to be the President this country needs right now. Everyone always assumed Iraq would be this campaign's number one hurdle. The only thing I respect more than people's opinions about how to proceed in Iraq are the men and women who are bravely serving our country in harm's way every single day. My Dad is the only candidate with real military experience who has the support of an overwhelming majority of current service members. And if you really want to know how much I trust him, remember that I have two brothers who are serving, one of whom is about to redeploy. Of course, all of this is easy to miss, because this election is clearly about moving past the current administration and fixing the economy.
If you honestly think someone with extremely limited experience will solve the severe problems we have in this country then, by all means, vote for Senator Obama. If you want to give complete control of our government to the Democrats who have made a real mess of things over the last two years they've controlled Congress, then go ahead and vote for Senator Obama. And, if you really believe that our taxes should be higher and that government should have a bigger role in our lives, vote for Senator Obama.
Some of you have asked me how I can support my Dad or call myself a Republican when times are so tough, especially since my own personal beliefs don't always sync with the GOP. Well, I have asked myself that same question a lot. But I support my Dad through it all because I know this: my Dad will be unlike ANY other Republican president. My father has the experience, leadership skills, and proven dedication to serve. I only wish people could understand that Dad will bring about the change everyone is so hungry for in a much more real way than Senator Obama could ever possibly hope to do at this stage in his political career.
So, forget everything you've heard or seen. Just know this: everyone wants change. And while some people can only talk about it, my dad will bring it. Don't give up on him. He is never going to give up on you. And by you, I mean every American. Regardless of age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation or political ideology; a vote for John McCain is a vote to change our country for the better. Don't hope for a better future. Vote for one.

It is that time again...
for the wonderful fall Tradition of TEXAS/OU weekend at the Great State Fair of Texas in Dallas. Oh the traffic on I35 on friday afternoon with the mass exodus of UT fans heading to Dallas and the very peaceful downtown area that is left in its wake. Don't get me wrong I am a Longhorn fan and I will be watching the game from the comfort of my comfy couch but you have to admit that this is a great time to go explore downtown if you haven't been in a while. You can always get in a Restaurant and shopping is easy too. I will bid Farewell with a big
GO HORNS Beat OU!!!

They might kick me out of the conservative club for this one...
This is an email I got from the McCain camp today outlining the $300 billion mortgage bailout Sen. McCain is proposing if he wins the election. My comments are at the end.
My Friends,
Millions of Americans on Main Street are feeling the effects of our current economic crisis largely brought on by corruption and greed at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Wall Street. Our next president must come into office with a plan to address the very root the failing housing market.
Last night, during my debate with Senator Obama, I announced my plan to fix the root of our problem and I'd like to share a little more with you today.
If elected president, I will direct my Treasury Secretary to implement an American Homeownership Resurgence Plan to keep families in their homes, avoid foreclosures, save failing neighborhoods, stabilize the housing market and attack the roots of our financial crisis.
America's families are bearing a heavy burden from falling housing prices, mortgage delinquencies, foreclosures, and a weak economy. It is important that those families who have worked hard enough to finance homeownership not have that dream crushed under the weight of the wrong mortgage.
For those that cannot make inflated payments or their mortgage exceeds the value of their home, mortgages must be re-structured to put losses on the books and put homeowners in manageable mortgages.
This Resurgence Plan would purchase mortgages directly from homeowners and mortgage servicers, and replace them with manageable, fixed-rate mortgages that will keep families in their homes.
By purchasing the existing, failing mortgages the resurgence plan will eliminate uncertainty over defaults, support the value of mortgage-backed derivatives and alleviate risks that are freezing financial markets.
I am ready to lead our country out of this financial crisis and I am ready to work with anyone and everyone who will help. Together, I know we can work together to find solutions for these challenging times. Please do your part today and spread the word about my new plan by forwarding this email on to your neighbors, friends, family and coworkers. Thank you for your time and support.
Sincerely,
John McCain
P.S. Homeownership represents the very core of our American economic system. This is not the time for politics. We must move aggressively to provide relief and stability for all Americans.

Yes I am a conservative and I am a McCain/Palin supporter, but really is this the answer to our problems. I know there are people out there hurting financially, believe me, my family has lost stock values and our retirement is in the crapper but when we bought our house 4 years ago we did not get a sub prime loan even thought they pushed it on us, we just pushed back and said NO. We did not buy a house above our means, infact we bought less than what we could afford. I realize that there are people out there that need this help legitimately and they should get it but we should also educate them so they do not do this again. Shouldn't this $300 billion bail out include some kind of home buyer education plan and checks and balances for the lender to make sure the home buyer can actually afford what they are buying? this is just my opinion but I am really getting tired of paying for peoples and crooked companies mistakes.
