2008 Election - Values Do Matter

All of the current issues we have with the economy and the rest of societies ills are a result of us abandoning our core values. The current economic meltdown is a direct result of the government and our financial institutions abandoning long established lending practices and values. Back in the old days, a mortgage was only granted to some one if they could qualify. To qualify meant that the monthly mortgage payment could only equal 0ne week's pay, in other works 25% of your monthly income. Also a 20% down payment was required. These practices were abandoned when the democrats wanted to insure that more poor people could own a house. Owning a house is the American dream and should be pursued by everyone who can afford it. However, now because of the standards for qualifying for a loan have been eliminated, a lot of people own a house, or a bigger house than is affordable. The end result being, most of them will probably lose the American dream, that does no one any good.

In some instances the republicans went along with this idea to garner votes, however warnings were sounded several times, bills were introduced,and each time the warnings were ignored and the bills voted down by liberals. Despite the warnings from various individuals, including John McCain and President Bush, the economy is in a mess that should have never been. A direct result of sound practices and values being ignored in the financial world and congress, for the sake of votes and greed.

Character in a president is very important, during times of crisis he must fall back on his or her core values to make sound judgements. If there are no core values, he has no foundation from whence to make correct decisions. In my opinion one of our presidential candidates has no core values, schooled in Marxism, socialism, financed at least in part by Arab interests, and with mentors such as Reverend Wright, Bill Ayres, Louis Farrenkhan and others, his core values are values not shared by most Americans. This man has as his financial advisers, Mr. Raines, and Mr. Johnson,two of the people largely responsible for the Fannie Mae and Fannie Mac melt down. One of which walked away with a cool 90 million dollars. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were also largely responsible. Do we want these people controlling our financial world?

Some people are so blinded by the Hate Bush Syndrome they aren't thinking straight. The HBS has been perpetrated so much by the left and the main stream media that people don't even consider the fact that maybe some things that happen in the world might possibly not be Bush's fault. Is it possible that someone else might be responsible?

I hope people wake up soon enough, hopefully they haven't cast early ballots. Remember, your vote doesn't expire for four years, it could be a long four years!
