Tuesday--Election Day 2008

Well its been like forever that we have been bombarded with all the rhetoric of political commentary, but today brings it all to an end, at least for a little while.  It appears that the turnout will be a record in the number of voters actually voting, but unfortunately with the record turnout willcome a landslide of legal lawsuits protesting this or that precincts votes, how votes were counted, etc, etc, etc.  Further, the election will be so close in so many states, that it will not surprize me if it will be days before we learn who wins, and it could easily be tossed into the supreme court for a final decision----time will tell.

In anycase the winner, be it liberal leftist Obama, or "Hurray for the USA" McCain---neither will have anything close to a mandate for his programs.  The congress dominated by the liberal democrats for the last two years has done zilch,unless passing the biggest deficit budget  in history counts as an accomplishment  They are already in discussion and planning for more federal handouts to the poor , the ignorant and the lazy, all eagerlyh awaiting "Obama's crowning, and learn how much he will be spreading around.  The liberal leftist congress has stonewalled any possibility of making the bush tax cuts permenent--so automatically taxes will go up in 2009, taking more from those americans producing and "distributing it around" to those that aren't.

I am trying to imagine how things might go, if when the all the votes are counted, the legal beagles have had their say, and its determined McCain is the winner------I wonder if the major networks that have been so openly biased in Obama's favor will  change their ways and get back in synch with the people?  Most likely however this is not going to happen, but-----whoever gets elected will know they are being watched and judged.

IN HIS OWN WORDS, IN HIS BOOKS HE SAYS----!!??

Do not take my word for this---go to your local library and check out the man's own books and read them for your own edification-------

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!

From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

* If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President.

"I will cut taxes for 95% of Americans"----yeah sure ya will

Senator Obama has over and over emphasized how his programs will cut the taxes of 95% of Americans , which is not exactly the truth. In that 40% of Americans are retired seniors, or are young adults that only work part time and do not pay taxes ---but the biased media don't seem willing to correct that lie to the American People.

Here's another issue the media has failed to ask Mr. Obama to explain, and one I am sure he hopes nobody will ask him. Beginning in 2009, the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 begin to expire. What follows is information taken from an Article from The Heritage Foundation, which addresses this issue in clear concise detail. MR. Obama and the leftists are not about to keep those tax cuts permenent, and will let them expire----but it won't count as a tax increase in their book.

The Bush 2001 & 2003 Tax Cuts about to expire:

If the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 are allowed to expire, millions of working families will see their economic prospects dim, their job opportunities diminish, and economic uncertainty rise.

The central provisions of these landmark tax bills are scheduled to expire over the next five years, which means that taxes will rise dramatically for most taxpayers. Between now and January 1, 2011 . Tax rates will rise substantially in each tax bracket, some by 450 basis points;
Low-income taxpayers will see the 10-percent tax bracket disappear, and they will have to pay taxes at the 15-percent rate;
Married taxpayers will see the marriage penalty return;
Taxpayers with children will lose 50 percent of their child tax credits;
Taxes on dividends will increase beginning on January 1, 2009;
Taxes on capital gains will increase, also beginning on January 1, 2009; and
Federal death taxes will come back to life in 2011, after fading down to nothing in 2010.

What make this tax nightmare scenario particularly scary are the economic benefits that will never be realized if the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts disappear. Businesses are watching now to see if Congress will make permanent the first to expire of the major economic growth components of the 2001 and 2003 tax acts—lower taxes on dividends and capital gains. Failing to make permanent the low tax rates on investment would signal to businesses of all sizes that the other major elements of the Bush tax plan will also be allowed to expire. They would adjust their investment and hiring accordingly.

Economists in the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation used a mainstream model of the U.S. economy to project the economic effects of making the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 permanent. Their report estimates significant economic gains throughout the period from 2006 through 2014, particularly after 2008. For example, making certain that taxes on investment remain low will add about 285,000 jobs per year in fiscal years 2008 and 2009. In those two years alone, lower taxes on capital gains and dividends mean an additional $70 billion in economic output and an additional $110 billion in disposable income for households.

If Congress makes the tax cuts permanent, the major economic benefits begin in 2011. For example,
Total employment will rise by 1,087,000 jobs per year, on average;
Annual GDP will be over $111 billion higher, after inflation;
Personal savings will grow by $163 billion per year, on average, after inflation; and
After-tax household income will grow by an annual average of $274 billion per year, after inflation.
However, these benefits become economic losses if Congress fails to make the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent. What is the cost of failing to act? Over one million lost jobs each year between 2011 and 2014; over a hundred billion dollars less in economic output per year; slower wage and salary growth; slower savings growth; and so on. The need for Congress to make the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent is clear.

Obama Speaks the Truth---finally

Unbelievably the other day Obama, was asked a question by a small business owner and he gave the man an honest answer. The Man , his name was Joe and he ran a small plumbing business and was thinking of expanding his business, BUT if he did so it would push his income past the $250,000 ceiling that Obama would implement, and thus force him into a higher tax bracket, and he asked Obama why he thought that was fair.
Obama, slick talker that he is, explained that his tax plan, increasing the taxes of those making more than $250, 000, was good for the country, it would spread the wealth around, those that for whatever reason didn't make as much as Joe would get government assists, (no mention was made as to any requirement that these poor people should work for a living or not?), but with money taken from the Rich (Those making more than 250,000 and up) and having it given to those that don't work, somehow would make the world a better place, and that Joe would then have more business, and paying even more in taxes.
Obama didn't explain why Joe should continue to work hard at growing his business and taking on the higher tax levies, and not just slack off and take welfare like the non-workers do. In any case it WAS OBAMA telling him that's what he Obama wanted for American this great social leveling---it is the Leftist's (Socialist's) dream, the perfect world, everyone has the same suffers the same, and the government makes all the decisions---oh wait that's Communism ain't it?----doesn't Matter must be good , after all Obama is for it. and the state has always taken good care of him.

Keep This In Mind When You Vote

While I am pointing to other interesting blogs, I have to give mention to another eclectic blog titled Britannica Blog, and of special note the posting titled,"What Americans look for in a president-Afew lessons in History". I think both party advocates should calm down and read this article.

Obama Just Doesn't Get It.

I watched the first presidential debate last night and its obvious to me that the Leftist Liberals have nominated a totally green man for a candidate. Yes I am talking about Barrack Obama, the guy looks like a young college professor, and certainly talks like one, and he demonstrated over and over in the debate his total lack of understanding of how nations relate to each other. In his naivitivety, he thinks its like a good old boys club, where leaders just sit around and call each other by their first names and talk out their problems..
In the debate, he actually said he would talk with terrorists, without any preconditions. In short he would give these criminals legitamacy and recognition, more or less telling the world that they must have some worth, and should be treated as equals.
He even had the gall to blurt out we should chase after the terrorists and follow them into Pakistan, in short invade Pakistan---(McCain was so stunned by this ignorant uttering from Barrack, he admonished him in front of the cameras telling him one just doesn't say those things in public.)----no, Obama just doesn't get it------and he seemed like a History Professor harping on things in the past, rather than dealing with things as they are today.

Bailout Everyone Except The Stupid Taxpayers

My day started with my arriving at my Local Gelsons Food emporium for a meeting of the SOCADS, (For those that don't already know that's the Sherman Oaks Coffee and Debating Society--SOCADS)---here over coffee and donuts, pastries, cookies and whatever we kick around the worlds problems, politics , and societies ills in general. Today's discussions were centered on the pros and cons of the the big government bailout----and concluded with the democrats in control of the congress it will turn into the biggest taxpayer funded welfare program in the history of Mankind. and it would in time Like LBJ'S "War on Poverty" totally screw up the nations economy and all at the expense of us the tax payers. The Liberal democrats won't stop til everyone is bailed out , except the stupid tax payers. So best if ya just stop working now, and belly up to the welfare office. (Hell I don't even know where the welfare handout office is??) It was generally agreed that it would really be best for the country if we didn't bail out the greedy bankers and mortgage lenders and just tough it out----after all damn few of the average taxpayers have over 100,000 in the bank, and we are government insured up to that amount. $700,000,000,000 will pay for a lot of bad banks and the accounts in them----should they fail.
Tonight we have the first of the Presidential Debates. I noticed Obama went out to Missouri early, man that boy just loves to talk in front of cameras don't he. His medical plan, which sounds really terrific, will only saddle the taxpayers with $1.3 TRILLION more debt. but will ensure another 35 million people who can't afford insurance,--- and he says how he is gonna cut taxes for 95 percent of the people---so where is all this money gonna come from ??----yeahh that's what I thought---but boy he sure does talk pretty don't he?

THE DO NOTHINGS ARE DOING NOTHING.

The American public bought into the change idea some two years back, changing the congress from Republican lead to Liberal Democrates being in control-----so here we are two years later, and everything is going to hell in a hand basket, and the democratic controlled congress is in full dither-----oh my gowd, oh my gowd-----and of course aside from pontificating on all their gripes and worries, and negativity in general ---doing what they have done for the last two years-----nada, nothing, zipp, zilch.----its the modern day vesion of "fiddling while Rome burns"---Pelosi, and Reid, the two leaders in congress presiding over the house and the senate respectively----are putting on the best "Punch and Judy" show ever.
Meanwhile out on the hustings, Barrack Obama, is proclaiming how this is all the fault of George Bush, (the man doesn't seem to understand its the congress who creates and passes all the budgets, and its been democratic budgets for the last two years that have created the mess we are in-----), is he trying to be bipartisian?---no, hell he's not even in washington trying to solve the problem, but then he hasn't been in washington now for the better part of two years, he has been busy promoting himself as being the American choice for president. (two years he has been at this and he STILL doesn't have half the votes ---and how many hundreds of millions of dollars has he spent so far?? not to fear the AFL/CIO is gonna throw in a billion dollars to back his candidacy (they want them rigtht to work laws made illegal, forcing all workers to joing unions. or forget working.)
Frankly I say----let the subprime market collapse, no point the taxpayers should have to pay for the green and stupidity of investors looking to make obsceene profits.

Whats Wrong With Obama?

The extremist left, (ooops they prefer to call themselves "progressives" these days) which controls the democratic party. Is in total disarray since the nomination of Gov. Sara Palin. The lefties can not understand why why their candidate , "The One" is not miles and miles ahead of the opposition. They do not understand how a woman , Gov. Sara Palin, who is against abortion, could in one speech suddenly grab so much of the feminist vote. (Arianna Huffington believes all women, at least those that went to the right schools, belong to the right organizations, must be pro-abortion---otherwise they are---??----well ignorant and unworthy of recognition and not proper feminists, and certainly not capable of being in a high government position.).
Yesterday's Huffington Post Headline told us Americans that if we were not for Obama, then we were a nation of village Idiots. The leftist liberal Democrats feel that must be the reason there candidate is not doing well at the polls.
Today, the Huffington post offers yet another plausible reason why Obama hasn't captured the American political heart-----its because deep down in our subconscious we are closet racists. Also in today's hodgepodge of articles, still another possibility for his lack of doing well , is that he is just to damn smart ,and the majority of us just are to lost in the selfish "whats in it for me?" psychology, that we can't see how we really should see things. I believe this kind of thinking is best illustrated with their VP candidate , Senator Biden explaining that it was our patriotic duty if we made more than $250,000 that we SHOULD pay more taxes, and feel good about doing it. (Why the leftist liberal democrats don't see this as social leveling I do not know?)
So the panic stricken Liberal leftist, first told us we were uneducated, then they said we had to be Village Idiots, and now its because we are racists!!!-------
Whats wrong about Obama?? I can't speak for all my Fellow Americans, but I won't vote for a man that 1) snubbed our troops in Europe, 2)Doesn't put his hand on his heart when our Countries Flag goes bye, or the National Anthem played----3) and has again and again changed his position on this and that in an effort to appeal to look good.

"A Nation of Village Idiots" Says The Huffington Post.

     The extreme leftist liberal media which directs and controls the Obama Clique of the Democratic Party , headlined their attack of the day, calling us  (US being the USA) and I quote, "A Nation of Village Idiots".  This is typical of the nature of their attempt to tear down our government, create confusion and chaos, then grandly promote THEY'RE solutions.  (always more and more control of the largess given away to those that can't or won't work for a living---if these poor souls are dependent on the govermenment handouts (aka welfare), then they are more likely not to rock the boat and continue to vote the party that feeds them.) 
     Those who dissagree with this "if your poor ask for more" mindset, -----well the Leftists are very quick to dismiss you as being, poorly educated, therefore unable to understand the proble, and most likely to stupid to be allowed to vote.-----thus in the heat of the political debate there headline is calling the Majority of us "A Nation of Village Idiots".  (so unless you were educated at one of the Ivy League schools, your one of the village idiots---probabely so stupid you actually believe one is suppose to work and earn ones living, when all smart people know all one has to do is belly up to the goverment trough and wave one's rice bowl. and be happy and do as told.  
     Well this "village idiot " is PROUD of my Country, Proud of its Military, Proud of its History, Proud that I have paid my own way in Life, earned every damn dime I was paid and managed to save.  I cost the government nothing---but I am damn angry seeing the Leftists keep shoveling out the freebies trying to make my fellow village idiots enslaved by welfare---once you sign up for welfare-----your doomed to continue to be dependent on others to give ya handouts.
     What all are the leftist liberal media saying?, check out my earlier post "For a giggle read the Huffington post"

Here In the Leftist coast of California, where Liberals control things.

California, the land of Milk and Honey (and of course those famous contented cows), we have not been able to pass a new annual budget,(we are two monthes late), the current one some 15 BILLION in the red, due to the out of control spending by the liberal leftists, espousing their philosophy," if your poor just ask for more".   The legislature (controlled by the Demoncratic liberal leftists), was presented to the Gov. (A ,Repulican thank goodness), and he is going to veto it. as it doesn't cut spending enough-----nor is it in balance----the leftist liberal democratics will then vote and over ride his veto----and continue to increase the state taxes, fees and anything else that will bring in more money to feed their ever expanding governmental give a ways.  At Least by veto'ing it initially,  it will be made clear to all of us voters just who is making the out of whack spending decisions that are bankrupting this state.  Its rapidly reaching the point nobody in their right mind will buy California bonds----then it will be interesting indeed. ---maybe "The One" (obama) will take time out form shoveling in more cash from the Hollywood people to offer us a few billion like did when hunting votes in the great lakes area---afterall its only Money from the taxpayers.

Obama offers the Great Lakes Region 5 Billion Dollars.

Today, the liberal leftist democrats nominee for President , boldly offered , if elected , to set up a 5 Billion dollar trust fund to be used for the purposes of cleaning up the great Lakes, a noble goal to be sure. The huge amount of monies would come from increasing taxes on the Oil companies, (the same oil companies he would add more taxes on to turn around and give every man woman and child a $1000 payment tax relief check), The population of the country being in excess of 300 million, at $1000 bucks a head comes to---plus now an additional $5 billion to the great lakes area (its coincidental that Mich, Ohio, Minn are all critically undecided as to which way they will vote, so promise some money , can't hurt right Obama?) The liberal democrats are against drilling for new oil, but I just can't see how taxing the oil companies tens of billions of dollars is gonna bring the price of oil down, or make us independent of foreign oil?.
The country currently running a huge deficit, can't see how Obama is gonna cut taxes either, why does he keep saying he will? Sorry I want an experienced leader as President, and not one that will just throw dollars at the problems and create ever more government bureaucracy.

For a Good Giggle, read the Huffington Post

As most all adults in the western world now know, the Presidential election of a U.S. President is underway. This election has brought out the contrast of the two parties. The Liberal Democrats, versus the Conservative Republicans.
In Particular this time around, The Liberals are kinda split some being much more left of the main stream of the country, others only moderately left.----As we all know, its the radical left that is in control of the Liberal Democrats. These radicals will settle for nothing less that the socialization of the country, goverment in total control of everything. Their shining star is Obama, "the one" as his groupies refer to him. He is everything a good leftist liberal should be. A graduate of a good ivy league school, who has good looks, dresses well, and makes charming speeches. He spent 8 years in the Illinois senate, where he astutely was careful not to alienate anybody, conversely voting "present" over half the time, while cultivating friendships with the powers that be that run the Chicago polictical machine. They got him elected as the junior senator from Illinoise in 2004. In the national assembly he has instigated no legislation of his own, but in all fairness in the four years he has been a National senator, he has spent two years running for president. (it would be an interesting total to know just how many hundreds of millions of dollars he has spent in the last two years on this endeavor.---does anyone know?)
On the conservative Republican Team. Senator John McCain, nominated a women Govenor to be his Vice Presidential selection. Gov. Sara Palin of Alaska, a definite outsider to the Washington DC elite. (Obama selected one of the longest residents of the Washington Senate, (some three decades he has served in the senate, definitely an "insider"to business as usual) Obama justified his choice of Joe Biden in that he wanted an exeperience person to turn to should he have to make any decisions, (obama not haveing much experience of his own).
Since the nomination of Sara Palin as the repuplicans nominee for the VP slot. The radical leftist liberals have been frothing at the mouth. First they gripped that she was there to grap the dissatisfied Hillary voters, then they bitched that she didn't attend any of the proper schools (namely ivy league schools), they they complained that she was a bad mother, parading her family at the Republican Convention the night she gave her acceptance speech. (like what women would NOT want her family present to see here accept such a great nomination, but in the leftist eyes this just wasn't done by "properly educated women". Then they espoused their dissatisfaction with her views on abortion , motherhood and just about anything else ya care to mention. This frothing of the mouths of the Leftist Liberal Democrats is hilarious, if it wasn't so sad, and so narrow minded. Like lemmings they quote each other as they run off the cliff. and then hearing the other leftists saying the same thing, actually believe the whole world is saying it----anyone NOT agreeing with them are either stupid, disgusting, or telling lies, and shouldn't be allowed to vote. If you don't believe this, you only have to read the Huffington Post, a bastion of the Leftist liberals who control the Leftist liberal Democratic party. This small radical sect actually believes that their opinions represent the majority opinion of the country----The most recent public opinion polls say otherwise. read what these radicals think of those that disagree with them, and why they HATE so much. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ Read what they expect and want---and remember if you don't go to an Ivy League school, then your a stupid and not worthy.

Joe Admits It!!

I was driving to my weekly rondevous with the Fluff N Fold Palace, when I first heard it on the truck radio. I guess it kinda caught me by surprise, and yet when I think about it I guess I shouldn't have been. Barack's selected running mate for Vice President, confessed in a public speech that Hillary would have been a better choice for VP.
Senator Biden, who is a professional  politician , having convinced his home state to elect him over and over and over----now less than two weeks after the Republicans finished their convention---Biden is already telling the public that Barack made a not so good decision in selecting him, when Hillary was so available. Now why would he make such a statement in Public at this juncture of the final days of the campaign?
This old dude, suspects that the wiley old Politician that Joe Biden is---is that he recognizes Barack really doesn't have the heart for politics, that he isn't going to win come November---Biden wants to survive the train wreck of the Barack express---so what is he doing? He is publically distancing himself from Barack, buttering up Hillary, and putting himself in as good a position to get re-elected to the senate, and still be a good Donk when it comes to the campaign of 2012. I think too, he is doing his best to set the stage so come the VP debate , he only gets mauled a little bit and comes out of it with his reputation not to badly ripped up.
How totally destroyed is the Obama game plan?----you got the top of the leftist Democrat ticket personally slurring the number two person of the opposing ticket----its like a little kid working himself into a total hissyfit----imbarrassing himself, and his handlers. I have to admit the total disinigration of the Obama game plan coming so fast, that I am somewhat surprised, I knew it was all smoke and mirrors, ----but I would never have guess that an educated at Haavard sort, would allow himself to be reduced to uttering slurs ----but then we all knew he does not have the experience to be president-------snubbing our wounded troops in the hospital, and grand standing with the heads of states offering a better photo opt.---He lost my vote right there. He showed the world he was for Obama, not for the USA.

Obama and "Foot in Mouth" disease

When it comes to reading a teleprompter and giving a written and prepared speech, Barack , the junior senator from Ill, who would be president, is excellent. However, when not given a script to read and needing to think on his feet----he has a tendency to not be so glib. Yesterday, thinking on his own---even his leftist handlers would not have approved of his remarks, me insinuated that Gov. Palin was a pig----talk about foot in mouth???
Since the selection and nomination of Gov. Palin, as Senator McCains running mate---women and independent registerred voters have been pouring over to support the Repubs nominees for President and vice president. I am sure Barack is well aware of this loss of support that he had previously felt he had. The kid from Haavard, his elite education, all the support of the leftist liberal media, a year and a half running all over the country making speeches, making himself "the one", crowning it with his grand tour of Europe, (paying for 300 members of the elistist leftist liberal press to go along with him to document how much Europe loved him. the polls here in the USA showing him to be leading by several percentage points in the race for the Presidency. It is my opinion this period of time will show this is where his Candidacy reach its High Water mark.
He spurned a visit to the American wounded, preferring instead to bath in the large crowds of foreigners applauding his appearance (they're way of thanking him for the popular rock concerts that his handlers scheduled to guarantee big crowds). (He lost MY respect and vote with that decision alone---and he still hasn't bothered to offer an apology for the insult to our wounded)
Then of course we all know about his relations with the Clinton's and how he manipulated the convention and ended up choosing the old man of the senate Joe Biden (which didn't sit to well with the Hillary people)
Then John McCain selected for his running mate a women, Gov. Sara Palin from Alaska, who electrified the whole political spectrum with here acceptance speech----between the Republicans putting a women on their ticket, one not approved of by the old guard feminists ruled by Gloria Steinem, and everyone seeing and hearing how a conservative women, managed to raise a family, combine it with a career, and now running for Vice President of the country----well the leftist liberal media has become totally unglued----women voters, independent voters , and the undecided voters are now flocking to the McCain/Palin ticket. This is not just an opinion, this is a fact----Obama and the leftist liberal media are shocked and stunned. They have managed through they're excess trashing of Gov. Palin---awakened the silent majority----.
People don't much like being told, that if they didn't go to one of the big ivy league schools that we are just trash, and to ignorant to be allowed to vote. How could a person ,educated at Haavard, be so stupid as to tell "lipstick jokes" , after Palin's speech----maybe the price of a Haavard education needs to be reviewed?

"THE SILENT MAJORITY"

All in all, over the last couple decades, both of our major political parties have drifted from their base positions. This drift of both parties has resulted in a blurring of what they stand for, and as a result the vast majority of voters have come to believe there is no real difference between the two.------and we have seen this result in fewer and fewer of the eligible voters actually voting.
This year, 2008, has seen Senator Obama, a relatively new face on the National scene, work up a large following (his presidential campaign having begun waaay back on Feb. 1oth, 2007) and having the race pretty much all to himself til this year. Only then did he begin to get some competition for attention from others, namely Senator Clinton-----She gathered more popular votes, but Obama got the electoral votes ---and as we all know finally forced Hillary to give up, using a running argument that her obstinacy was dividing the party. (My own opinion of Obama's victory in getting the Democratic nomination for President, was that he was a fresh face, minimal experience, and he is one excellent orator---give him time to prepare a speech put him in front of a teleprompter and this guy could charm the birds outta the trees. (his followers started calling him "The One".
The republicans had a much quieter lead up to their convention, pretty much agreeing on John McCain early in the primaries, he world more excited watching the antics of Barrack and Hillary. The general public attitude was in a contest between John McCain and Barrack Obama, that Obama had the momentum and would most likely be the next president.
Barrack, who had been centering his campaign around the point that he would bring change to Washington , was getting hit hard on his lack of any real executive experience, so to shore up his standings with the public he had Joe Biden nominated as his VP. Two things resulted, the public perceived that Barrack was kinda admitting he lacked experience by adding the longest resident of the Senate in the History of the country to be his VP. and the the other thing is, by not nominating Hillary , enraging the entire left wing of his party (Gloria Steinem and such---) much ado in the media about the disenchantment of many women voters and speculation on how many might just vote for McCain .
Then McCain announced his selection of VP, Gov. Sara Palin of Alaska. The leftist, liberal media went berserk. They accused the Repubs of trying to appeal to the disenchanted Hillary supporters, they mocked Sara for being a Mayor of such a small town, they pointed out she had a pregnant unwed daughter, they ridiculed her "none ivy league" school , that she was govenor of Alaska, so what, the population of Alaska was-----hardly cosmopolitan. and oh my goodness her political opponents referred to her as a hockey mom disguised pit bull. This went on for almost four days, but then the public got to see and meet the Real Sara Palin as she gave her acceptance Speech on Aug 27th, 2008.
----------The Democrats immediately went into a defensive crouch---and like Willy Brown , a long time democratic political genious in California admitted, "We are now playing defense and we (democrats) don't do well on defense---we lose when we have to explain our programs --"

Today its announced that in the latest polls, 52 percent will vote for McCain/Palin, 46 percent Obama/Biden------Me Thinks Senator Obama is really regretting not spending time with the wounded troops on his grand European tour with 300 press people (by the way the democratic party paid for that trip)---it may well turn out that that was the High point of the Jr. Senator from Illinois run for the Presidency.
It would seem the vicious tasteless attacks of Gov. Palin, from the leftist liberal elite have woke up the silent majority------I don't think Senator Obama and his running mate will be able to satisfactorily explain their programs of change and the resulting bigger government ---what with now being so totally identified as being promoted by the leftist liberal establishment.

Gloria and the Donks

Today I see the Feminist Gloria Steinem has a piece out dissing the Republicans VP candidate, Gov. Sara Palin. That Gloria is not happy with Gov. Palin is of course no surprise, after all She showed up at the republican convention wearing a skirt----and Gloria ,co-founder of Ms. , THE feminist Magazine and the arbiter of just who is and who isn't a proper feminist, couldn't NOT let it be.

In her diss of Gov. Palin, Gloria went off on one of her own personal rants regarding HER concept of what Feminists are all about. and made the following conclusive statement,

"---- American women, who suffer more because of having two full-time jobs than from any other single injustice, finally have support on a national stage from male leaders who know that women can't be equal outside the home until men are equal in it. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are campaigning on their belief that men should be, can be and want to be at home for their children."

I have read that statement a number of times and I have to say, not once have I ever got that impression of "Brick" or Joe.  I mean in all of the many bills Obama has introduced in the state senate of Illinoise, or in the last four years in the National Senate---not one of his bills talks to that conclusion reached by Gloria.  Now I say that , because I think it really underlines how out of touch Gloria is with todays Modern American Women---which I do believe is very much illustrated today by the example of Gov. Sara Palin.

In this forthcoming national election I think for the first time American Women are being offerred a choice, --do they want as their representative, reflected by a Ivy League educated, proper membership in the just right social organizations (just ask Gloria for the list---they will me mostly centered in the NewYork/Boston area---anything located west of there is ---well just not cosmopolitan enough)-----OR is todays women , a hockey mom, PTA member, raising a family, and holding down a job as well.?? 

That question is keeping both parties in a tizzy------and regardless of which party wins the election, I think what we are seeing is the death knell of the old line Feminist movement  and the onset of a womens movement that  is for partnership, and not the old  "us versus them" school represented by Gloria and the original founders of the feminist movement.------time will tell.  Right now  Gov. Palin is drawing monster crowds.
    

Reading The Opposition

I have immersed myself in reading what the Liberals have to say since Gov. Palin has hit the scene, and really try to understand they're arguments. The main arguments they seem to have are that she didn't go to a big name school, lived in a a very small town, dared to allow her family to come to the convention and watch "Mom" accept the nomination for Vice President of the entire country---on the other hand I may have that wrong---and the Liberals are angry that she (Gov. Palin) is PROUD of her family.
Then two the leftists (nee liberals) have gone on and on and on trying to convince themselves that their boy from Haavard has more experience than Gov. Palin. (and at the same time trying to convince the world that Gov. Palin doesn't have enough experience to be Vice President---the way all the comments read, sounds like half of the liberal feminists had to go lay down for a couple days as they were just "sick" over her speech, and the other half kept trying to tell themselves that the nomination of Gov. Palin to the VP candidacy, was nothing less than the repubs (thats what they call people who are republicans) starting a culture war. Deep down inside these elitists believe that if ya didn't graduate from an Ivy league school, then you can't possibly be cultured enough to run for high office. (kinda insults an awful lot of working moms I would think)-----they hear that talk, then look at Gov. Palin's actual accomplishments---proving it can be done---one doesn't have to go to the just right schools, and join just the right organizations, and marry a man with big connections, to get ahead---).
It seems in the Liberal Party (aka Democrats), they have Men and Feminists. Whereas in the Conservative Party (aka Republicans), they have Men and Women.

TONIGHT THE WORLD WILL WATCH

Tonight at the Republican convention, Gov. Palin, will address the convention, not to mention the entire United States and I am sure most of the rest of the world.. Since the announcement by John McCain, that he has nominated her as his running mate, I have watched the leftist media, literally froth at the mouth, stunned, almost in a total panic, unable to decide how to deal with her reality. A self proclaimed "Hockey Mom", but one who has also been a Mayor of a small town, but worked her way up through the political ranks, and got herself elected Governor, as a Mayor, got things done for her town, as Governor weeded out the corruption when she found it, got property taxes lowered (not a politician that nobly speaks of doing such things ---but doing them.
The liberals don't get it---THEY THINK, she was nominated to garner the votes of the unhappy Hillary women (the donks believe that women stick together and vote for each other I guess), but NO, that's not why she was selected? She was selected because she has a track record of getting things done, regardless of which party she is dealing with, its just happens to be a fact that she is a women , a hockey mom, and a proud member of the NRA----In short she is the Liberal leftists Boogyman-----
Tonight she addresses the Republican convention as the nominee for Vice President of the Richest, most powerful, most open democracy in the history of the world---and the entire country, and the world will listen to her speech----listen to the "USA" chants ----tonight I think will be most interesting for us all----regardless of party affiliation---Damn I love the USA.

Labor Day 08

Here in Southern California our Labor day is blessed with sunshine, and lil white puffy clouds. To those that would be quick to complain about that (IE pessimists, and democrats) sorry, maybe you should trek on down to the gulf coast---and enjoy Gustav.
This seasoned veteran, having now observed no less than an even dozen Presidential campaigns, am totally charged up for this one in 2008. Holy smokes people, we got ourselves a race involving a blackman and a woman---the whole world is watching. How Racist is modern America-------how Sexist is the USA?? Then we got the whole shebang of liberal, versus conservative thinking on any number of major issues, such as Energy, Education, Economy.
However the nature of these political drives over the years has evolved into a circus of 30 second soundbites. We will get no detailed explainations of what the Candidates plans for the country really are. The Donks are against offshore drilling for example, their reasons for that being it will take 20 years before any significant oil can be brought to the refineries, and we need it now---I have no idea what they suggest we do that will give us relief from the independence on foreign oil we would liek to have.
The Donks loudly cry about all the things wrong with the country, you heard a long list of these complaints harped to death at their convention---and its healthy to have that kind of outlet for ones frustrations. Unfortunately after a brief time it becomes kinda depressing to hear somebody be so negative about their country. I noticed too that there was alot of positive buzz in the Donks convention, with chants of HILL-A-RIE! HILL-A-RIE!!, and for Obama ----notice howver the republican gatherings they were more prone to chant "USA!! USA!! USA!!", WHICH I find to be more positive.
The Liberals (aka progressives or Democrats) will make a big issue out of Gov. Sara Palin's lack of foreign Experience. I find that kinda amusing---considering the Donk's candidate doesn't have much experience in that arena either---oh wait he did go to Europe acouple weeks ago didn't he---I remember now, he was to busy doing photo opts with the leaders of France and Germany---he didn't have time to visit our wounded in the hospital there---(YA LOST MY VOTE RIGHT THERE KID).
I read and hear a lot of comments from the liberal Donks who blame everything negative on George Bush, call him cute lil names, but thats okay, its an election year---its just so appalling to see so much ignorance of the facts of how our government actually works. Its the Congress people, its the national legislature (the Senate and the House of Representatives) that enact all the laws, make the budgets---ask Senator Biden, he has been in the Legislature longer than any one individual has in the entire History of our Country-----now he's nominated by Obama to be his Vice President---the candidate of "Change"?? Seems to me on the other Party , with the nomination of a women to be Vice President----nows THERE is some real refreshing "change" being offerred to the voting public. A real modern woman who is the mother of 5 children, who has worked her way up through the ranks and now nominated as Vice President of the Entire Country---she sure aint no clone of "Hillary" Gov. Palin not only talks the talk, she walks the walk----. I surely believe that "Reaganism" is alive and well in the Repulican Party and its time this country started being Proud---I'm Tired of the liberals putting our country down----.
