Election Day

Well, I haven’t posted in a couple weeks.  Quite honestly I have been very busy, and even though I love politics, I just am not inspired about either candidate.  I obviously think Obama would be very bad for the country, but Senator McCain is not someone I can campaign for, based on his past actions [...]

McCain Against Earmarks, Except…

Senator McCain has been campaigning that he is against earmarks and pork in legislation.  However, from his vote and support on the bailout bill (H.R. 1464), he certainly didn’t have a problem with them.  Here is a list of the pork in this bill: New Tax earmarks in Bailout bill – Film and Television Productions [...]

Other Options – Bob Barr

Just a reminder that there are other options outside of John McCain and Barack Obama when it comes time to vote for President.  Go check out Bob Barr.  I know what you are saying:  voting for a third party candidate is throwing your vote away.  Not true.  If that attitude is changed in enough people, [...]

Obama Says What We Have Been Thinking

In an outrage with his good buddies in the media for actually covering a gaffe he made yesterday, Obama said the following: “These are serious times and they call for a serious debate…spare me all the phony outrage. Spare me all the phony talk about change,” he said. Amen, brother.  Please spare us “all the [...]

Obama’s Recent Comments/Gaffes

There has been much buzz about a couple of Senator Obama’s comments the last couple days.  I will give my take on each of them. The first comment was where Obama mentioned his “Muslim faith.” I do not think this was a gaffe as some have said, especially those that agree with me on politics [...]

Newt Takes on MSNBC

Newt Gingrich takes on MSNBC’s Ron Allen when he stated “But to be fair, her resume is not something we’re familiar seeing with presidential candidates.” Mr. Gingrich responded with the following (video below): It’s stronger than Barack Obama’s. I don’t know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than [...]

Palin Circumstances

Rich hits the nail on the head.  I’m posting a couple excerpts.  Go read the whole thing.  It is worth the few minutes it will take. Yeah, I’m taking this personally. I know where the Palins are right now. I know what they are dealing with even without the smug sanctimonious Kossacks painting wildly delusional [...]

Sarah Palin

Senator John McCain has made his selection for vice-presidential running mate, Governor Sarah Palin (Alaska).  I had heard her name in the mix for several months now, and I think it was McCain’s best decision.  He chose a running mate I can get excited about.  I just wish I could say the same for him!

Conventions

Does anyone else find it extremely strange how the delegates vote at the conventions?  All the primaries and caucuses are strictly for show.  The delegates you select via your vote in your state primary is thrown out the window.  They get to the convention and vote for whoever they choose.  I realize this is their [...]
