John McCain Has a Bizarre History of Hiding Evidence About His Fellow POWs
McCain has worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home.

I am not a young man, but never in my lifetime have I seen anything as reminiscent of Hoover’s Great Depression as America today–banks failing and hundreds of thousands of Americans losing their homes. For the first time in my lifetime, people are worried about whether the money they have in the bank is safe.
This nation cannot afford four more years of Republican rule. And there’s one big reason.
Forget personalities, inexperience. racism, sexism, and war hero talk. It’s the ideas that the candidates and the parties cherish that really matter.
The same ideas that produced the Hoover Depression are alive and well in today’s Republican party–no taxes for the rich, subsidies for big corporations, no government regulation by the federal government, and the supremacy of states rights.
Change the name from Hoover to McCain to Palin on the economy, and the answers they give are interchangeable.
I’ve shortened my comments here because I know I’m blogging, but if you want to see more on this subject, go to a great website I found with the url http://www.howtotalkback.
I personally heard Rush Limbaugh say that it was his goal to undo everything that FDR did.
Now it’s no secret that nobody has more influence over Republican thought than Rush. And it’s no secret what Rush believes: government is bad and federal regulation is a plague.
But I wonder if Rush realizes that the FDIC–a program of the federal government put in place by FDR–is the main thing right now that’s keeping America from an economic collapse.
One of my friends asked me why I wasn’t voting Republican. “Don’t you want to keep more of your money?”
My answer? If Republicans continue to rule, and they follow the Hoover, McCain, Palin script, AND THE BANKS FAIL, neither she nor I will have any money to keep.
What we need is a President who sounds like FDR, not a Hoover sound-alike.
