This type of website needs to continue so that the American people can have a voice in government. I know that there are others out there, but from my point of view, which is based on everything, this has been an open forum with innovative ideas and contributors with an eye itno the reality of the American people.

I think Sen Obama needs to hit McCain hard on his recent decision to pull all his resources out of Michigan. Let those in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania know why Sen McCain would stop fighting in Michigan when he said he would fight for America. Ask why Sen McCain would not fight for one of the hardest hit states in regards to the economy and loss of jobs.

Republicans do have one good habit: they know how to issue talking points and get everyone to sing from that same choir sheet on all the talk shows on a given day. It lets their message - no matter how disgusting that message may be - get through to the people.

I am just wondering why Sen Obama is not talking about how when he responsibly ends the war in IRAQ that he will stop using taxpayer money (billions of dollars) to reconstruct IRAQ and use that money for tax cuts, stimulus package, health care, and education here in the US.

Sen Biden. Are you crazy? You don't say it is our patriotic duty to pay taxes! Stick to the message that we will lower taxes for 95% of the American people and for the middle class to get the economy out of this crisis and that we will restore pre Bush tax rates for those making above 250K to reduce our deficit and our debt and to provide a stable economy for our future generations.
