This means if you bought a house for $300,000 that you could not afford and it's value has now dropped to $150,000, your mortgage principal will be adjusted down to $150,000. Bull crap! This is once again rewarding those who didn't pay their bills. No one is going to adjust my principal down because I actually pay my mortgage on time each month. Those of us who are responsible will not have our mortgages adjusted down.

Hearing this from the "Republican" on stage made me want to puke. I am convinced that we will be a mostly socialist country in the next year. McCain is calling for the nationalization of mortgages. This means the government will hold and adjust mortgages as it sees fit.

In the end I am forced with "the lesser of two evils" and SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, MARXISM is NOT in my vocabulary as a way of life -- been there, seen that... don't want that at all.

So despite me agreeing with tn_girl on this solitary issue (there are probably more), I will still vote republican because Obama is not the answer or the messiah.
