What I find really scary are posts like this one. He could do a lot to cause the downfall of our country. Money is not everything. I am 62 years old and have voted in every election since I was old enough to vote. This is the first time in my life that I don't think it is just a decision between the candidates. I think it is a decision as to whether we are to remain a nation that I want to live in or not. I am already looking at other possible places to move to if Obama is elected. I think Obama will destroy what our forefathers shed their blood to bring about. The first thing he will take are our guns. After that, it is pretty much anything he wants to take. This is not a joke. I am serious.

Only for people who really never have had a grip.

Mmm...nope. No slippery slope in sight. The Liberal socialist Republicans have driven the Economy into the ground and now wish to elect a candidate with a history of deregulation support which is the fundamental cause of the mess. Does this make sense? Why should we hire a guy who ADMITS he doesn't understand the Economy?

Will you people stop please.

Clinton reversed a 66yr old bill that put us in this mess.........

Congress in the last 2 years have helped to dig us deeper why cant you people see that?

Obama has people on his campaign staff that are directly related to this financial mess.

Uh huh. Were you as serious about the Patriot Act or did you just like the name? No ones taking Americans guns, seriously.

PS. Regarding your relocation, the economy is now Global. Russia couldn't even open their Markets because of our mess. Remember what it was like when we shut down the markets? We need a leader who understands the Economy, not one who admits he doesn't have a clue. I respect his honesty the first 5 times he said it. I get it it. Now let the guy who knows what's going on get under the sink so he can fix it.

Evidently you don't even know your own candidate. He has a history of wanting to take the guns from the normal public so the only people who end up having guns are the criminals who don't care about the law. I believe gun control is one of the things on his platform. If you can find that it is not, I will stand corrected, but you won't find that, because gun control and baby murdering is what he stands for.
