Maryland is a Democratic state i.e., Senator Mikulski, Gov. O'Malley but I hope the voters will be receptive to Sen Obama. We need a change in Washington from the same old politics of the Clintons and the Bushes. It is time for change, either Senator Obama or John McCain. Senator McCain is a war hero (a true one) and he can reach across the aisle to engage the other side. I don't agree with him on immigration, but I feel we must support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are in these theaters so lets WIN and get out.
We need new blood in DC. Too many American jobs are going to Mexico, China etc. We need to buy American. No NAFTA. Clinton championed this and has too many Chinese connections. We need someone to balance the budget, curtail using oil from OPEC and Venezuela, and get after our lawmakers to find legitimate ways for drilling for our own oil. If we can put a man on the moon, we can open oil fields. We're more important than the caribou mating, aren't we? Our lawmakers need to stay in session for President's Day and pass an economic stimulus bill, they get too many days off now. We also need term limits. We need to get out and vote these people out. They've had enough time to fill their pockets from the lobbyists and they don't need all the perks they have. This government is for the people, by the people. We need another Boston Tea Party. We are being taxed to death. Hooray for President Bush, at least he initiated tax cuts. It's not his fault, these greedy corporations lent money to homeowners to buy these homes they knew full well they couldn't afford. Come on use some common sense.
