I am impressed with Governor Palen's integrity and work ethic. I think she is a refreshing reformer and just what we need to control our lobbying corporations. She will do more as a vice president than any in the past. McCain reminds me of FDR. I am disabled although you wouldn't know it and I have never taken money from a government program in my life. I am not rich either. I would like to know why no one in the Republican party or Dick Morris has mentioned what I understand is the reason we have an econmic downturn which democrats credit as a George Bush policy failing is in fact an Alan Greenspan failing. I like Alan Greenspan and he served our country well until deciding to retire. In fact it was Alan Greenspan who raised interest rates prior to his retirement causing the FED to implement the largest quickest hike in interest rates in as long as I can remember during 30 years in the real estate business. It shook the financial institutions and borrowers to the core. One payment I make increased $500 per month from one year to the next. I had a construction loan at 1/2 point over prime 51/2 percent and by the time I got my end loan a fixed rate was no longer available and my interest rate went as high as 83/4 percent. It is no wonder that people with expensive mortgages on the east and west coast started having problems. My investment was a small shopping center in a town of 2,500 people. I don't blame Bush I blame Alan Greenspans lack of concern for economics when retiring! I think someone needs to put blame were it belongs during this election!
