The independent small business owner will vote for?

We, the small business owner, are not a business in the GOP's eyes. Our industry as a whole is not a business. To them a business is: GM, Bechtel, Mobil, Microsoft, Boeing, Haliburton.
Thank God I'm going to China to make some money in an economy that is growing...and has undervalued currency to boot!
Yup, if Grandpa Munster wins, you'll all get your wish!
And don't go calling me a bleeding heart liberal, at one time I supported Pat Buchanan.....and still hold some very hard core libertarian views.
McCain with his 9 houses and his wife,s job that pays her 6mil a year as a no show ceo . They know how hard it is to make your biz work, im sure they feel our pain
City: San Francisco. San Mateo
State or Province: CA

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
5) Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!....
But Americans wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress & yep--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the past year…
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION
DOLLARS & prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~11,100--
$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR
STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT
PORTFOLIOS!
YEP , IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!....AND WE SURE GOT IT!!!...NOW OBAMA, the DEM'S CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT--AND THE POLLS SAY HE'S GONNA BE 'THE MAN'--CLAIMS HE'S GONNA REALLY GIVE US CHANGE!!....JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YA THINK YOU CAN STAND???
So who is to blame ????????????????

Unless of course you are rich. Then it works great.
There is nothing wrong with making money and being succesful. Planty wrong with the system rigged to benefit only the super rich.
Hang on to the dream of the republicans being for small business. They never have been and never will be. No health insurance , more tax on middle class and with the Bush administration even bigger government.
Do some research and un-brainwash yourselves from all the republican crap and wedge issues.
Democrats are better for the economy, better for the middle class and blue collar workers. Better period.
Unless you go for the wedge issues. "God is republican" and everybody else is a "Comunist/Socialist" blah blah blah.
Proud to be a bleeding heart liberal.

I want nothing to do with China. I Don't want to buy anything from them, and I don't want to sell our scrap to them.
I would just assume the laws were written to promote a healthy Country, If you don't manufacture anything within your borders with your citizens staffing those jobs, you are an endentured servant.
Choose your master. I choose to be free.
Tax imports heavily, and penalize US companies who mfg. overseas. End of story, America will return to it's idustrial revolution days.
Frankly, I don't choose to be the world's babysitter.
