Democractic Party Platform: Higher Education

In the document of the Democratic Party platform, the topic I choose was higher education. The reason I choose that was because as a college student, I feel that it is important to see what a candidate is going to for me to get through college. As I read about the higher learning section in the document I felt that the democrats hit the hammer on the nail. It quotes " We will make college affordable for all Americans by creating a new American Opportunity Tax Credit to ensure that the first $4,000 of a colleg education is completely free for most American". I think that would be wonderful because with me coming from a single parent home and education is already to expensive on my mother, this would give her the break she need. Especially with my brother. Hopefully they keep to there word because it would help a lot of Americans out if they have kids in/ getting ready to go in college.

Who's to blame for the Bailout?

Do you think President Bush and his office is to blame for this bailout? To me, I think so. After eight years in office, he has American people jumping through hoops and every hoop that Americans have jump in has cause more trouble than the last. Or do you think Speaker Nancy Pelosi is to blame for the loss of the bailout? To me, I do not think so. I think a lot of people feeling got hurt and feet got step on. But should we be scared because of this bailout? To me, I think we should. If mega companies are going down with the market, Americans would not be able to get home loans or live to their means of living. To me, I feel another great depression is on it way.

"Show me the Money"

As I went to "The Huffington Post" I was suprise of what I found on this site. I was so amazed at what I found. I first look up by my last name and was shocked that more Franklin's gave to the Demcracts then Republicans. Also when I look up my zip code I was even more shock to find out that no one in my area code 77053 gave to the Republican party. I think the site is really interesting.

Who is Governor Palin?

Does anyone know who this woman is that McCain has pick for is VP pick. I honestly never heard of Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska. But what shocks me the most is that this Governor that I never heard from is now making national news because her teenager daughter is pregnancy. That is not a good way to start off. Hopefully the Republican can put a spin on this to make it into a positive. Because from what I see republicans always in some kind of scandal, either with them or with there families. Especially when they are running for some kind of office.
