John McCain’s Next Move
Vol. 3 Issue 20
If I were John McCain, I would get up on
Tuesday night during the debate and tell
Americans, "I do not
think it is fair that I become your
President."
The Democrats got us into this financial
disaster. Therefore, I propose they fix
their own mess. Let
Barack Obama and his Democratic cronies
figure it out. Why do the Republicans always
have to
straighten out what the Democrats have
screwed up?
It started with Jimmy Carter and his 21%
Prime Interest Rate, 15 plus percent
mortgages and 7.1%
unemployment rate. 1982 under Carter was the
worst year since the Great Depression, with
a -2.2 percent negative growth and a 13.5%
inflation rate. Let's not forget to mention
his Community Redevelopment Act (CRA) that
started the housing mess. It took Ronald
Reagan to straighten out the economy.
However, the CRA was lurking in the
background.
Then the next Democrat to take control
was Bill Clinton. After he raised our taxes
and expanded the
CRA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac he repealed
the Glass Steagell Act of 1933; not to
mention his refusal
to tell the Sudan to hold Bin Laden for us.
Let us not forget the Iraqi Liberation Act
of 1998, which gave
him the authority to take out Hussein and
change the regime in Iraq. He did nothing
about it. When he left office, he left
George Bush with a recession.
It took George Bush to get us out of the
recession and into a period of economic
growth that we have
not seen in decades. I know you are probably
saying what about the Dot-Com boom during
the Clinton
years. That was a result of the Reagan tax
credits for Research and Development. Do you
really believe
that Bill Gates woke up one morning in 1995
and said, "I think I will invent Windows 95
today?" It took ten years for that to
happen. Mickey Mouse could have been in the
White House, does that mean he gets credit
for it.
So here, we are in the worst financial
disaster in American history, which was
started by Carter and
exacerbated by Clinton and his cronies, Rep.
Barney Frank, Sen. Christopher Dodd, Sen.
Charles
"Chuck" Schumer and Sen. Barack Obama. Let's
not forget Franklyn Raines who was Clinton's
Director
of the Office of Budget and Management. The
man, who cooked the books at Fannie Mae,
then left with
a "Golden Parachute" of $90 million. Now, he
is one of Obama's financial consultants.
Even after President Bush and Sen. John
McCain warned the Democrats that we were
getting in over our heads and would soon be
in deep "Do-Do" if this continued, the
Democrats ignored it all. Perhaps, it
was the hundreds of thousands of dollars
they received in campaign contributions from
Fannie and
Freddie or maybe they were too pre-occupied
with bashing the President to stop and
listen. Whatever the reason is, it does not
matter. They should clean up their own mess.
Therefore, John, on Tuesday night you
should apologize for voting in favor of the
bailout and tell us that
you thought you were doing the right thing.
However, in retrospect it does not look like
it is going to
work for a while.
Therefore, you are going to defer to
Barack Obama to clean up his own mess.
Unless they want to elect
a Republican to clean it up for him. Because
history is teaching us Republicans can do
it. "Yes We Can."
So if we want to straighten out the
economy, I suggest we elect John McCain.
And, that is my opinion.
