What I've Learned

I've learned so much recently:

* People who own large SUVs are sad that the value of their vehicles have decreased by 10% and more. All I can say is, "I told you so."

* Dick Cheney disrespects people from West Virginia (even though he later apologized for his comment).

* Some people are ashamed that they've contributed money to the Bush-Cheney campaign. (We'll forgive you if you vote for Democrats.)

* Republican candidate for Ohio's 15th congressional district, Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, has not voiced his views on any issues. His website is so bland that a visitor cannot tell where he stands on any issues. (It was probably designed that way on purpose.) Is he for continuing the war in Iraq? Does he support privatizing social security like McCain? How does he plan to change our energy dependence on foreign oil? Does he favor a national health care plan? Does he support McCain's health insurance plan that would exclude people with pre-existing conditions? How has being a lobbyist helped him? If you compare Stivers' website with Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy's, you'll notice that Kilroy has published her views on important issues. Why won't Stivers state his views?

* Some Democrats who once supported Sen. Hillary Clinton have said they'd never vote for Sen. Obama for president. If Clinton supporters did vote for McCain, some predict that a woman's right to choose would be eliminated within one year by McCain stacking the Supreme Court. It is time for all Democrats to unite behind our candidate. Our nation needs all of us to make things better for ourselves and future generations. McCain would be just like having a third term for Bush-Cheney.
