Jesus IS THE ANSWER
As always, Jesus is the answer here!
If we would rid the "temple" of the "money changers" it is counterproductive to try to do so with money!
I see John McCain not as a war hero, but a war surivor with a press agent!
Granted, the man suffered grave losses in his service to his country! So did we all! What parent who lost a child, what child who lost a sibling, what wife who lost a husband, what babe that lost a father, lost any less than John McCain?
He parlayed his terrible experience into a senate seat that has been less than exemplary, hero wise. His experience in governance? Economics? Either truth or political expedience says that his "fortune" is based on the business acumen of either his wife or her father. Foreign policy? Formed on the campus of, and taught by the staff of "The Hanoi Hilton". John thinks that America owes him the presidency as a fitting cap to his ordeal!
Along with Richard M. Nixon, who was only president because he was the Party choice. (bad choice that year, anybody remember Spiro Agnew? Bebe Rebozo? John Dean?) His experience attained, by whininng his way into the California govenors office! Foreign policy? He reopened the doors to China and laid the tracks to move our economy there.
Ronald Reagan, "The great Comminicator!" developed his governig style leading "The Screen Actors Guild" to the promised land". (more commonly known as California! Weren't they already there?) I can still hear him demanding, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!" and how he so deftly sounded the death knell of the American middle class! Reagans "trickle down economics are...well they're...still trickling! Oh! and evaporating!
And the inimitable W! As Tex. Gov. Anne Richards said, "Poor George, he was born with a golden foot in his mouth!" But he overcame that congenital affliction to become president of the United States! His econoic policies have been like roman candles illuminatig the darkness, which he inherited from his father, among others. His foreign policy was formed by early visits to Tijuana and probably Cuidad Acuna! He led us into a family conflict, "he tried to kill my Dad, you know!" from which we will be a long time exiting. And in good republican fashion, with no definitive resolution! You know, like A win!
Remember Henry Kissinger appearing on national T.V. on election eve and spouting "Peace is at hand!"? Obviously his hand was still years and billions of dollars away!
Have the democratic members of our "elected aristocracy" been any better? Not so's you'd notice. Obamas not a better choice! He's just a different choice! A vote for either of them is a vote for the entrenched elected aristocracy. It's a vote for a PARTY! I personally think that the party is OVER!
It's time to rid the "Temple" of the money changers! And $700 billion, won't do it! They will multiply exponentially!
I'm very tired of digging through the manure of insouciant arrogance and greed, looking for the bones of this great country, and finding only more insouciant arrogance, and greed!
I paraphrase! "You can put all the lipstick you want on a donkey or elephant, and they'll still be thr same old donkies and elephants! Doing what Donkies and Elephants do! Get rid of them all and start over!
