My opinions are formed on educated research of the topics and NOT based solely on "conservative views or liberal views ". I beleive in being open minded. The problem is most people say I'm a republican or I'm a democrat and blindly follow those views. Guess what, both parties have major problems. I investigate both sides to form my opinions and as of right now I do not see what you claim when it comes to Obama. He has not created jobs or helped the common citizen with their financial problems such as mortgage foreclosures. HIs bailout of the banks did nothing to help you or me. Obama made campaign promises of reaching across the aisle to republicans and then totally shut them out when forming the health care bill. No wonder republicans fight him tooth amd nail. There were promises of "Change" in how the gov't will be run and then backroom deals by Obama and Pelosi for votes were made that in essence were bribes for votes. Where's the change in how Gov't is ran. It seems business as usual to me! <br /><br />I guarentee there are many more democrats that feel the way I do. My future voting will be based on the most qualified candidate and not based on voting any particular party line. As I see it now Chris Wright brings much more to the table then Mr. Mason. My opinion, now form your own "educated" opinion based on facts and not party lines. Attend each canidates rallies and see for yourself how each stands on the issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-71113482789328628652010-05-14T15:58:11.551-05:002010-05-14T15:58:11.551-05:00Anon 2:55 Yeah sure - a Democrat huh?Anon 2:55 Yeah sure - a Democrat huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-91630913585181743182010-05-14T15:32:35.419-05:002010-05-14T15:32:35.419-05:00Anon 2:55 The ususal line about being a Democrat....Anon 2:55 The ususal line about being a Democrat. Be honest! Obama is just starting bein a man of the people - not just for the rich as some previous Presidents were. The many big topics he is getting into are only a start. The majority of Americans like and trust Obama - he has two and a half more years to go in his first Presidency, and many more issues to tackle. Don't believe the "spin" words of the conservatives - they really have nothing to offer other than just say "no". His second term will continue with solving big issues, and he will go down in history as one of the best Presidents!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-55683094377472625382010-05-14T14:55:49.009-05:002010-05-14T14:55:49.009-05:00Anon 11:24

Obama's popularity is lower than Bush's ever was! The numbers have to come from Democrats as well as republican. <br />There is a difference between fixing health care and taking total control of it. The big issues of health care such as pre-existing condition & policy limits could have been addressed without the government taking total control of health care. When the Obama administration MAKES me get health care or face a penalty I consider THAT total control and socialist. The cost for every American to get health care is not FREE. The cost of premiums are on the rise! I recently talk a small business owner who said his premiums have increased 30% since the health care bill passed! When the federal gov't comes in fires corporate officers and dictates how the corporation WILL conduct business that is socialism. Our founding fathers did not intend on the federal gov't to have total power however this is the case now. <br /><br />The road to socialism: Gov't takeover of banking-DONE, Gov't takeover of Auto industry-DONE, Gov't takeover of Health Care-DONE, NEXT Gov't takeover of Wall Street-being done as we speak.

When any Dem tried to reach across the aisle, the Repubs said NO! The truth is, the Republicans who are now controlled by right-wing extremists, want the Obama Administration to fail. Also, where were Paul Ryan and the Republicans when they had control regarding health care reform? They didn't care and don't care about the MAJORITY of the American people. Also, if the Fed and the Obama Administration didn't intervene with the bailout and stimulus, we would be in another depression. Beck, Hannity, and Huckabee are news analysts? They are demogogues posing as truthtellers. They are false prophets who seek to lead this country down the road toward authoritarian control. They appeal to people who are too lazy to think for themselves.Josephusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-82870003467729212152010-05-12T18:05:47.221-05:002010-05-12T18:05:47.221-05:00Ah Josephus, You do realize that the democrats hav...Ah Josephus, You do realize that the democrats have been in control of congress before Obama took office. That being said, they had ample time to put halts on everything President Bush had on his agenda during his last term. I wonder why they didn't. Obama has been in office for over a year and all he has done so far is ram a health care package down the throats of America, buy the auto/banking industries (GM=Government Motors) and now is going after wall Street. . Keep in mind that the MAJORITY of Americans did not want the health care bill. This was done with payoffs and behind closed doors. Hardly the reaching across the aisle he promised during the election. This is why Chris Wright's district would do well if he is elected.

FYI, Fox will debate political issues on a regular basis and have both democrat and republicans debating the issue.

The reason Obama has had to spend money is to get us out of the financial disaster that the Republicans got us into. Obama's real problem is Iraq and Afghanistan, two wars that Americans seem oblivious to. We need to get out and let these two countries settle their own differences. History shows that empires who extend themselves beyond their financial and political means, face disaster. The big problem is that no one in our country wants to sacrifice for the common good. We have become selfish and self-absorbed, with many corporations and the very wealthy seeking to get as many things and money when they can while they can. They have very little allegiance to the welfare of the United States. Just witness the past eight years.

Our revered "energizer bunny," Tommy Thompson doubled the size of state government during his tenure as governor. The reason that you feel taxes are so high is that corporate America has received numerous tax breaks at the expense of the middle class who have to make up the difference.
