I'd rather not say what type of business we had. But we were one of the few in that type of business to manufacture in the U.S. There was only one other company that built in the U.S.

We had to re-invent ourselves and we don't do much in that venue any more. Matter of fact we did a job recently for that industry and have been awaiting payment for months.

What type of business did you own that left you with 100,000 in debt after 9/11?

To Enough. Thank you for the web site information. Especially the Senate and pork.

I had heard some information maybe I can check it out there. That in Obama's nine hundred and some days in office he has sponsored xxx amount of Pork and in McCain's seven Thousand some days he has never sponsored any pork. However, in voting for the bailout I feel he voted for pork.

And we do have other choices. I am voting for Bob Barr. Check out his web site
www.bobbarr2008.com

Again we keep electing both parties that spend, spend, spend. We need to send a message. I am not going against my principles and vote for McCain or Obama. Could you imagine what would happen in D.C. if Bob Barr picked up steam? D.C. would tremble and both parties would be terrified. I think it's high time we messed with them like the mess with us.

So if you are like some people I've talked to who don't like either candidate and who actually write their own name in, vote for Bob Barr and really send a message.

To Do Right 73. My company may not be a Fortune 500 company but the money that we were left holding the bag for was astronomical to us. We used to employ over 20 people and because of this we had to lay everyone off. One was a family member.

Plus my company didn't take $400,000 junkets and rest assured if these companies were as anal as I am and have to be they wouldn't have been in the situation they were in.

Matter of fact if the government had to be accountable like small businesses they too wouldn't have a deficit. But, then again they can always go to ATM Public for more money because we always have an unending amount. Or so they think and we allow them.

Abortion is never going to be outlawed. I feel it is murder. I can't believe anyone can look at a 2 month old fetus and still believe in abortion.

But, I tell ya, if I were to get pregnant at my age with all my precautions. I really couldn't say I wouldn't do it. Of course, I know of herbs that would work the same way and it would bother me for ever. But, if there were a God that had any control over anything, it wouldn't happen in the first place.

As far as gays. I don't understand the lifestyle myself. But, I also feel that us hetrosexuals have not been doing the best job with marriage and child rearing. And if they want to lose half of everything they have with a divorce, I'd like to see how that favortism in the courts will play out. I feel it is inborn, just look at the mannerisms. That is inborn. I can't believe someone would choose that lifestyle. And I don't like the religious right and the way they can hate when they tell everyone to forgive and love thy neighbor. What hypocrites.

Outlaw poor people is that what not-trash is saying? THe socialists left wants to reward such behavior. Bigger government will most assuredly cause more people to qualitfy and never help themselves. They too, will have children that do the same.

And they you end with God Bless, please.

My friends,

You betcha we need to concentrate on the economy. But we must not lose sight of the fact that we need to outlaw abortion, gays and poors.

God Bless.

First of all CONgress doesn't vote themselves raises. They automatically receive them, It's called COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) They can, however, vote against them.

Abortion, gay rights, and religion are smoke screens because in order for us to survive we need to concentrate on the economy. The people having abortions are your ***** (Duel INcome No Kids) the ones not having abortions are your welfare recipients who pop out child after child they aren't paying for. They don't work and neither will their offspring. So when you have more and more children to pay for and you have less and less people actually working (no workers from *****) we have a huge problem.

I am tired of hearing about people's religion it doesn't matter what imaginery friend they believe in. I have my beliefs but they do not rule my pocket book.

Look at the Enron mess. People went to jail. The money issue was far less in that case than in what we are talking about now. Their should be an investigation into those balilout companies. Does anyone realize that Barak Obama's economic advisor is Frank Raines, CEO of Freddic Mac?

Does that scare anyone else? Where is the media on this? Do you also know that the Auto Industry received $25 billion and will receive another $25 billion in five years?

It doesn't matter who gets in. We are in big trouble . If McCain gets in the hate mongerers will spew their mis-information and nothing will get done. If (when) Obama gets in no matter what he does he'll blame it on Bush ( and the major morons will believe it) and no matter how bad we are doing we can turn on the news and pick up a paper and hear how GRrrrrreat Obama is and how everything turns into gold that he touches. Unless of course it was touched by someone Bush knows first.

This is your free enterprise system at its finest. The problem is that if you don't bail these idiots out, the company you work for can't afford to pay you. How long do you work for nothing?

Those CEOs should have their golden parachutes replaced by concrete ones that will land them safely at the bottom of the East River.

The problem with our government is that we want it to be one-thing-does-all, like a vacuum cleaner that is also a toaster. We then wonder why the toast tastes so bad and why there are crumbs all over the floor. The smart thing to do would be to divide it into many separate entities that report directly to the voter rather than Congress or the President. The original core as designed by the Founding Fathers would be left. Then the lobbyists would find it impossible to blow smoke into so many eyes.

well, Militarydad... if you cant pull yourselves up by your bootstraps... time to cull the herd. good luck to you. Cause I dont see any way were getting out of this coming mess without major havoc...
