I suppose by now, you know who I’m voting for… if not, here is a video that I believe sums up the reason I’m voting for John McCain:

I had a pretty heated discussion at work today about how “fair” it is for “rich” people to pay a higher percentage of their income soley because they have more money… For some reason, I have a serious problem with it. Sure, I have a healthy dose of envy for “rich” people with multiple homes and cars… but at the same time, I don’t really see it as being fair that they are forced to pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes…
Ok… 3rd Presidential debate is over… John McCain certainly showed some fire, and took Barack Obama to task for a few things… But there was nothing in this debate that I think would change anyone’s mind…
I believe out of the 3 debates, John McCain had his best showing… Obama was flustered, and was playing defense the entire night.
Unfortunately, Obama is at a point in the campaign where he just needs to coast into the Presidency, so his major goal tonight was to not fall off his bike, and I think he accomplished that.
If you don’t know who “Joe the Plumber” was, or what was said… Then, you are probably at a loss at why there was so much attention paid to it. Here is Joe speaking with the folks at Fox News:
So, there goes the second Presidential debate… I actually sat through the whole thing… and now, I must demand my 90 minutes back… what a waste of time. I could have spent that time more effectively by watching old episodes of Friends or Will and Grace..
Yes, I’m a bit pissed off.
Ok, I just got finished watching the Vice-Presidential debate, and I have to say, I am now a serious fan of Gov. Sarah Palin.

Looks like the Senate just re-served the Crap Sandwich that the House served up, but instead of fundamentally changing it, they just added a few strips of bacon to it… For those that haven’t seen some of the pork added to the “Bail-Out” Bill, here is a few:
Today, the Financial Bailout bill failed to pass… Good.
I don’t know what those in Congress were thinking when they drafted a 100+ page document, and forcing a vote within hours of its release. I wouldn’t buy a car without sleeping on the deal, and this bill is a hell of a lot more than a car… This is $700 BILLION!
I think people should have the time to read and digest this, and not be ram-rodded into voting for a bill just because a few at the top told them to.
I’m actually proud of those congressmen/women that voted against this bill. As one congressman said, this bill is a “crap sandwich”… You shouldn’t be forced to take a bite until you look around to see if there is anything else to eat.
… that the people that are put in charge of negotiating this new $700 billion Wall Street bailout, are exactly the people that goofed this up in the first place? Try to blame it on the republicans all you want, but John McCain and numerous others have been warning about the breakdown of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and its devastating effects on the economy for years now.
Many Democrats poo poo’ed all those warnings because poor people were now able to buy houses… Now guess what? We’re in a crisis that could lead to a major financial disaster.
But who do you think is in charge of “fixing” this problem in Congress… yep, the same people that turned a blind eye to begin with… Somehow Barney Frank and Charles Shumer. Who both ridiculed those warnings when they were before their committees.
Somehow that doesn’t really inspire me with confidence.
UPDATE: I found this video that illustrates what I’m talking about…
