I found some "new" video on Freddie and Fannie.  This is crap coming out of the mouths of the very ones that accuses Bush for our economic problems.  To me, this is one of the best ways to give people info.  EXCEPT, if they have made up their minds I ams ure NOTHING will change it. 

The video puts things in context.  I had to use my pause button because it's so fast.  I'm going to C&P what I sent a friend last night.  She sent me an email from her friend who is "brillian" (she says.LOL) and I responded:

He says to my friend:

"Send them that bit I sent about Palin supporting the vision of Alaskan secessionists who are anti-tax, anti-schools, anti-parks, anti-environment, and if they need reminding of the importance of that, maybe there is no hope for them anyway."

My response:

Your friend, Mitch, is not brilliant.  What you sent me about Palin is not true.  I do believe her husband had belonged to that party, but she's been registered a republican since 1984 (I believe...I'm not looking that up right now).  Did you listen to what Palin said on the YouTube video I sent to you.  I typed out the exact words for you and she was welcoming this political party to their city of Fairbanks as the governor of Alaska.  You're friend has it wrong.   

You're friend sounds like he may want a socialistic country.  I don't and most Americans do. (I made a correction to the "do" and changed it to "don't" this morning...LOL  Big no, no  mistake.  

Ask your friend how Obama can lower taxes for 95% of Americans.  I'd like to hear his answer.  I'll keep mine to myself.  

Your friend said to focus on the "real issues."  I believe knowing what a person stands for, his character and judgment, his honesty, etc., are "real issues" especially when one is running for the president of our country. What real issue is your friend referring to....the economic crises that the democrats are more responsible for than the republicans?  YouTube doesn't lie...the words come right from the person's mouth. 

It's a good idea to question any information you get.  Like the Palin's email your friend must have given you about her political leaning.  It was false and easily checked out.  That's why I say your friend is NOT brilliant at least not in investigating.  He obviously received that email and didn't check it out for truth.  We have Mr. Google and he does a fine job.  In this day and age of the internet there's hardly any excuse to not find SOMETHING.  The problem is the MSM does not do reporting, so we who want to know the truth search and search.  

Let's start here for your friend.  You may watch this too.   However, I believe your friend will be turned off by the truth and stop watching.  When one's mind is made up which candidate they have chosen to vote for, these videos or any legitimate information I find will not change one's mind.  

Evidence Found!!!  Clinton's Administration "Bank Affirmative Action"  They force banks to make bad loans.

Fannie Mae Freddie Mac Barack Obama & John McCain       

Oops, again.  I forgot to supply the link.  So, I did this morning.  So, my next email.  I'm sure this friend of mine wished she had NEVER started this.  LOL  However, she's going to take her BRILLIANT friend's advice.

Her brilliant friend said:

"Always ask yourself; 1) Who is sending this?  2) Why are they sending it?  3) What good is it?"

My response:

1, Who is sending this?   

A friend who wants you to be informed.  Who wants YOU, an intelligent individual, to do your own research.  A friend who doesn't want you JUST receiving emails or any other info without checking it out for YOURSELF.   

2. Why are they sending it?  

To make YOU think.  Don't let other people do your thinking for you.  Then, make up your mind.  

3. What good is it?  

It's only as good as you see it.  In my case, I'm not sending you pictures of the holocaust and what Eisenhower said.  I'm sending you relative issues of today...who was the reformers in this housing crisis.  Pelosi has tried to pin this all on Pres. Bush.  She's a liar.  She doesn't want to lose her job.   

I think we should start setting terms for people who are Senators and Representatives.  We see too much greediness and corruption with people who hold offices with power.   

I forgot this video.  Send it to your friend.  Send my email to your friend.  I would love to read his reaction.  I'm sure it will be very angry.  Remember, the Palin email he sent to you was not factual.  Sande, you are too intelligent to not check out info you receive.  I do.  I get emails all the time and I do not send them on until I check them out.

With rants by Letterman---Does he really want to do this?

I guess most of us are frustrated by how McCain's campaign is being run---but then again --How do you run against a moonbeam?

-----------------------------------------------------------

David Letterman and Sen. John McCain will get a chance to make up.

David Letterman and Sen. John McCain will get a chance to make up.

The Republican presidential candidate is scheduled to appear on Letterman's "Late Show" on Thursday.

It will be McCain's 13th visit to the CBS program but his first since he angered Letterman by canceling last month.

Susie - I think it is great. McCain has a good sense of humor. Have you seen him on Leno or SNL? You can probably see him on YouTube. Heard Palin will be on SNL end of October.

Suzfive, I forgot..thanks for the video.  I sent that to my friend who and waiting to hear a response.  However, I don't think she'll respond about those because you cannot lead a horse to water.  Besides, I think she's drunk on the Koolaid like the rest of Obama supporters.  THEY REFUSE TO REMOVE THEIR BLINDERS.  And all they can say is it's race baiting.  So untrue. 

My friend thinks when registering in N.C. or even voting that you have to show a pic ID.  I told her not true.  I've never shown a pic ID when voting...just signature.  So, I sent her proof and also a registration form she can look at. 

All of that is what I'm talking about.  People who are so damned intelligent do not ask Mr. Google.  Is it laziness or just leave me alone and let me blindly vote? 

Summer, you are so right.  The videos are alarming.  But who cares except for us who are voting for McCain.  It will not change the folk's minds.

One more thing.  Why all the fuss about having to prove by pic ID that you are a US citizen, or live in the county that you are voting.  They say it's hard on minorities...racist?  How 'bout the poor white folks.  What's wrong with our country following laws (and good laws) when it comes to something as important as voting for a president.  I'm just so angry that all of hear is..race..race..race.  Okay, now I'm going to be accused of RACE BAITNG!   But that's okay cuz I'm a big girl wearing my big girl panties.  Got lots of thick fat skin. 

Linda, where ever you are COME BACK!

Hi Madalyn, welcome.  I think debates should be encouraged.

Anne,

Why would McCain's plan throw people off insurance roles? Huh?  The $5000 per family will help offset what they pay now or buy insurance for those who don't have it.  How do they get thrown off?  Obama's plan is a government run plan, this is never good for anyone.

I pay $240 a month for coverage for myself and husband.  $30 for office visits.  Unless a place doesn't accept the full amount my insurance will pay them, they try to make me pay.  I was just overcharged for 2 ultrasounds, the cost was $5,384. 2 ultrasounds!  They cost nothing to do.

My ins. paid them $2,000 which I couldn't believe.  Now they want the difference from me.  Guess where they can go.

Anyway, if we get $5k from McCain's plan per year that covers the $240 we pay monthly.  But to purchase new insurance without a company, that amount probably wouldn't do to pay it all.  Are we expecting welfare for insurance from our gov't?  No plan will be free.

The Facts about the McCain-Palin Health Care Plan

Barack Obama And Joe Biden Have Consistently Lied To Americans About John McCain's Plan. Their claims have failed every fact-check - from CBS to the Washington Post. John McCain is not going to raise taxes on middle class families. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the only ones in this race that plan to raise taxes.

Transforming The Tax Code To Create Greater Equity: The McCain plan transforms the current tax code to provide all American families - including the self-employed and the uninsured - the same tax benefit, a $5,000 refundable tax credit ($2,500 for individuals) that was previously only available to those with employer coverage. Families can use this credit to purchase insurance of their choice, including keeping their current coverage. This is an approach supported by Barack Obama's own Senior Economic Advisor Jason Furman who wrote that "we could scrap the current deduction altogether and replace it with progressive tax credits that, together with other changes, would ensure that every American has affordable health insurance."

Better Than "Members of Congress": Under the McCain Plan, your employer can provide you with health insurance as good as a "Member of Congress", and you would pay no more in taxes - regardless of your tax bracket. In fact, you would have some additional money left over from the McCain tax credit to put in a health savings account.

On The Issue Of Congressional Plan - There Are Options, But All Are Under The FEHB Program: A good example is the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan, which has combined monthly premiums for family coverage of $1027.95, for an annual cost of $12,335.40.

Where Is The Middle-Class "Tax Increase"? If you or your family is in the 28% bracket, with an income of $180,000, you could receive employer provided health insurance even better than a Member of Congress, with a cost of almost $18,000, with no increase in taxes. Even the liberal leaning Tax Policy Center, agrees that the McCain proposals will result in a "net tax benefit" of more than $1,200 for an average tax payer.

Helping Those Without Employer Coverage: If you are a middle-class American today without employer provided health care, the McCain plan would give you a tax credit of $2,500 as an individual, or $5,000 for a family, to help you buy your own health insurance coverage, including across state lines. American families - not government bureaucrats or insurance companies - will choose the coverage that best meets their needs. Today, the government does nothing to help you. Why does Barack Obama oppose this?

McCain Health Plan Puts Families in Charge: In another desperate attack, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have said that McCain health care tax credits to help families buy coverage "will go straight to the insurance company." Here is what they fail to mention - the credit goes to the insurance company that the American family chooses to get coverage from, anywhere in the nation. The power of choice lies with the family - not government bureaucrats or insurance companies. Ridiculing this line of strange attack, The Associated Press stated, "Of course it would, because it's meant to pay for insurance. That's like saying money for a car loan will go straight to the car dealer." Furthermore, any additional money left over after purchasing coverage will be controlled by the family in a portable health savings account.

McCain Health Care Plan Protects Our Vulnerable Population: John McCain believes that no American should be denied access to quality and affordable coverage simply because of a pre-existing condition. As President, John McCain will work with governors to develop a best practice model that states can follow - a Guaranteed Access Plan or GAP - that would reflect the best experience of the states to ensure these patients have access to health coverage. There would be reasonable limits on premiums, and assistance would be available for Americans below a certain income level.

McCain Health Care Plan Gives American Families More Choices: John McCain believes that American families should be given more choices by allowing them to purchase policies across state lines. In a move derided by fact checking organizations including Fact Check, the Obama campaign used this as an opportunity to falsely accuse John McCain of deregulating health care markets akin to Wall Street. A recent study showed that simply allowing Americans to purchase across state lines would reduce the number of uninsured by almost 12 million.

McCain Health Care Plan Preserves Employer Coverage: The McCain health plan builds on the employer-based system. Employers will have the same incentive to provide health insurance as they do today since they will continue to deduct the cost of health insurance they provide to employees. Nothing will change. In addition, payroll taxes will be protected from taxes under the McCain plan. Millions of American families with employer sponsored coverage in all tax brackets with the same coverage as a "Members of Congress" will now come out ahead with additional funds going into a portable health savings account. Importantly, younger and healthier employees with the McCain health care tax credit will have a bigger incentive to stay with the employers. For example, a 25-year-old employee in the 25 percent tax bracket with a $2,500 tax credit could either purchase a policy in the individual market for the same amount or stay with his employer plan and receive a $5,000 policy with an additional $1,250 to invest in a portable health savings account. Why would people choose worse insurance and less money? Finally, the McCain plan through comprehensive cost-containment policies addresses the single biggest threat to employer coverage - rising costs.

So if you have healthcare through your employer that will not change. They will not have an incentive to drop coverage (they will lose their tax benefit). But you most likely will have more money to pay any deductibles or co-pays that you may have now.

For those that do not currently have employer coverage you will get 2,500 dollars for singles, 5,000 for families to put towards buying health insurance. So if you are currently paying 700 dollars a month or 8400 dollars a year you will get some money to offset that cost. With more people buying insurance the cost of insurance may come down. Since you will be able to cross state lines - insurance companies will be competing for business.  

Anne,

Who says the tax deduction will be removed?  Start over from the very beginning.  I'll start.

I now pay for insurance, $240 a month.  My employers pays the difference.  How is this going to change under McCain?  I have to understand this so bear with me.

Suz, can you give us the place where you found that chart. I can't read the one posted.  I hate when they do boxes, they don't copy well. Thanks
