SHAME IN POLITICS (SARAH PALIN ON SNL)

2008-10-19T14:11:00.004-06:00

IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE POLITICIANS HAVE NO SHAME IN THE THINGS THEY DO THESE DAYS. SARAH PALIN APPEARING ON SNL THIS LAST WEEKEND IS PROOF OF THAT. COMEDY NEEDS TO STAY COMEDY WHILE POLITICS NEEDS TO STAY POLITICS. HER APPEARANCE ON THE SNL SHOW HAD TO TAKE TIME AWAY FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WHERE IT IS MOST VITAL AT THIS TIME FOR HER TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES OF WHAT MCCAIN AND HER CAN DO FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN NOT TRYING TO BE A BIG TIME STAR OR SELF PROMOTING BITCH.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE RESPECT FACTOR IN POLITICS? SARAH PALIN DISRESPECTED THE REPUBLICIAN PARTY BY APPEARING ON THE SNL SHOW IN MY BOOK. SARAH PALIN HAS SLAPPED MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE FACE ONCE AGAIN. DOES THIS WOMAN HAVE NO SELF CONTROL OR ETHICS? DOES SHE NOT EVEN REALIZE WHEN SHE IS BEING MADE FUN OF ON NATIONAL TELEVISION? TELL ME WHAT WAS SHE THINKING OF BY GOING ON THE SNL SHOW TO BEGIN WITH?

I AM A REPUBLICAN THAT IS SO TRIED OF THE CORRUPTION,LIES, DIS-HONEST ACTIONS, SMEAR TACTICS, AND FEAR THROWING REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT I WILL MORE THAN LIKELY VOTE THIS TIME AROUND FOR THE OTHER PARTY. AS AMERICANS WE NEED A STRONG LEADER THAT WILL BE HONEST WITH THE PEOPLE AND HAVE SOME IDEA WHERE WE STAND. IT SEEMS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE LOST ALL TOUCH WITH THE WORKING MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS NATION THE SO CALLED MIDDLE CLASS THAT IS BEING WITHERED AWAY DAY BY DAY BY THE REPUBLICANS THAT HOLD THE OFFICES TODAY.

I HOPE MORE REPUBLICANS READ THIS AND JUMP BOAT IN PROTEST OF THE WAY THERE RETIREMENT FUNDS HAVE BEEN DOWN SIZED ALONG WITH OUR JOBS BEING SENT OVER SEAS UNDER THIS CURRENT REPUBLICAN PARTY RULE. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY EXPORTED OUR JOBS BUT THEY ARE NOW IMPORTING OVER 20% OF OUR FOOD FROM FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS ONE BEING IRAN WITH MAJOR SUPPLY OF FRUIT JUICES WE FEED OUR KIDS. NOW IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME ON THIS JUST GO TO THE FDA'S WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND THE COUNTRIES AND WHAT IS IN FACT BEING SENT HERE FOR US TO EAT. IT IS SHOCKING AND DOWN RIGHT SCAREY WHEN YOU SEE LESS THAN 30 YEARS AGO WE WERE EXPORTING MOST OF THE FOOD WORLD WIDE. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE, IT IS TIME TO SECURE OUR BORDERS, IT IS TIME TO GET AMERICAN JOBS BACK ON AMERICAN SOIL, AND MOST OF ALL IT IS TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL THE REPUBLICANS WE CAN THIS TIME AROUND SO CHANGES CAN BE MADE. WE NEED JOBS, WE NEED STRONG LEADERSHIP,WE NEED OUR OWN GROWN FOOD, AND WE NEED THIS CHANGE FOR THE WELL BEING OF OUR CHILDREN IN THE YEARS TO COME.

VOTE THEM REPUBLICANS OUT!

MAIN STREET LOSES

2008-10-13T06:19:00.005-06:00

GHOST TOWNS OF THE PAST BEGINNING TO BE THAT OF THE FUTURE FOR MANY MAIN STREET BUSINESSES. IT SEEMS THAT MANY MAIN STREET BUSINESSES ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES ARE BEGINNING TO CLOSE THE DOORS WITH NO HOPE IN SIGHT FROM OUR GOVERNMENT. THE HIGH COST OF GASOLINE, UNSTABLE STOCK MARKETS, LOSS OF JOBS, LOSS OF HOMES HAS MADE IT TO THE MAIN STREETS OF MANY TOWNS AND CITIES. DO WE HAVE SOME MAJOR CITIES THAT WILL BECOME GHOST TOWNS IN THE NEAR FUTURE? I BELIEVE THE ANSWER WILL BE YES IF SOMETHING DOES NOT CHANGE SOON.
THE SMALL TOWN IN WHICH I LIVE HAS SEEN MANY BUSINESSES ON MAIN STREET CLOSE THE DOORS OVER THE LAST YEAR. PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO SURVIVE WITHOUT HAVING ANY EXTRA INCOME FOR OTHER GOODS EXCEPT WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE. TIMES ARE HARD BUT I AFRAID WE ARE IN FOR HARDER TIMES IF SOMETHING DOES NOT CHANGE SOON. IT IS SAD THAT THE CORRUPTION IN OUR GOVERNMENT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD AND WE LET IT GET SO BAD THAT IT JUST MIGHT BECOME THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR LIFE AS WE NEW IT.
WE NEED TO GET BACK TO TRUSTING IN OUR FELLOW MAN THAT IS THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR NO MATTER WHAT THE SKIN COLOR IS. WE NEED TO START GROWING OUR OWN FOOD AGAIN. WE NEED TO START MAKING THINGS AGAIN INSTEAD BUYING THINGS FROM OVER SEAS. WE NEED TO RAISE ANIMALS FOR FOOD AGAIN. WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO TRADE FOR ITEMS FROM OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS AGAIN. WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE BASICS AND BECOME AMERICANS FOR AMERICANS AND LET GO OF ALL OF THIS GREED. REFORM IS WHAT IS NEEDED WITHOUT HANDOUTS FROM THIS GOVERNMENT. WE WILL ONLY LEARN IF IT COST US BUT WE CANNOT DEPEND ON THIS GOVERNMENT TO BAIL US OUT. OUR GOVERNMENT IS SO BROKE ITSELF BUT THE POLITICIANS IN CONGRESS HAVE FAT WALLETS AND THIS MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW. THE TIME IS NOW TO BE AN A.F.A. (AMERICAN FOR AMERICANS) STAND UP AND SHOUT OUT AGAINST THE CORRUPTION IN THIS PRESENT GOVERNMENT. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF WE STAND TOGETHER JUST REMEMBER THE 60'S AND ALL THE MARCHES FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. THEY DID IT ONCE WE CAN DO IT AGAIN FIRST STEP IS TO VOTE WHAT EVER SEATS THAT ARE UP IN NOVEMBER OUT AND REPLACE THEM WITH NEW. THE NEXT STEP IS TO PUT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE PRESIDENT OFFICE WITH REAL CHANGE. NO MORE BUSH POLITICS! THEN WE NEED TO START MARCHES TO THE CAPITAL FOR GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY.

Race Factor

2008-10-11T23:06:00.003-06:00

The Race Factor in today's politics:

Lets not get caught up in years past where race or being different mattered. I hope that most of us have learned from the past and the horrors that were imposed on people with different colors of skin than our own. In the beginning we killed and tortured Indians because they were different and then we moved on to do the same to the slaves we kept. In all we as white Americans should be ashamed of our ancestor's and the way they treated people of difference.

I hope that we have all out grown such bad behavior and realize that just because one skin color is different does not mean that they are bad. It is time to judge a person as a person and not a ethnic stereo type. If we as people ever really want to progress in life as humans on this planet then we need to come together as humans with equal rights among all of us. Man, woman, black, brown, and white need the right to live as humans with equal rights.

Tonight CNN did a special on whether race would play a factor in the POLITICAL RACE. I watched this and my eyes were opened to one thing. It seems that the older generation has more hang ups over race than the middle age group or younger group. Now this is a shame because so many of these people lived through some very tough racily times. You would think that with seeing first hand the abuse that occurred to innocent people was wrong, they would be more understanding and respectful of all people.

This group is mostly Senior Citizens that say they "I will never vote for a black man for President" What is it fear that your past treatment of these people will come back to haunt you? I want to know how some of you sleep at night with thoughts like this? Let walk backwards in time for a few words. So many white people turn their heads to the beatings, the cross burnings, the spitting on black people as they walked by, the sitting on the back of the bus, coming in the back door of a business, black bathrooms only, and so on! It is today's Seniors that let all this take place and turned a blind eye to it and if anything you should be ashamed of yourself for not standing up for a simple human right. That right is the same as yours to be happy and raise a family. I would hope to think that just one of them would be in the shoes of just one black person that watched as the cross burned in their yard, the fear on their children's face as they watched there daddy being beaten to death in the front yard or hung from the tree on the side of the house. Just think if it was your children watching this take place to your husband. Now if you are truly a white bible thumping christian that at one time turned your head to all of this I would hate to be you on judgement day. The bible says judge he not unless you be judged and the ALMIGHTY will judge you hard. It is time to do what is right and simply judge the politics and not the color, age, but the person and what they will do for our country as a whole.

GET INVOLVED

2008-10-05T22:54:00.006-06:00

GET INVOLVED:

Last night I received a phone call that was mostly for my wife but I was also asked to lend my help. My wife will be doing office work as a volunteer for the Obama Camp and I will be volunteering my time to canvas the neighborhood in my home town. I figure I can either keep writing and reach people or I can do something to help the cause for him. I was undecided until a few days ago but when I saw McCain being so indecisive and changing his vote on the Bailout it was all over with for him in my book.

If you get involved it will make you fill good about yourself and it also will give you for sight on the issues at hand. I just can not think of having another four years of BUSH with McCain at the helm. My income has dropped almost half from the early to mid 90's til present. I can not afford another four years of almost being almost broke. VOTE FOR OBAMA so we might have a chance to make some money again, have better health care, better education for our children, and hope in the system again.

VICE PRESIDENT DEBATE

2008-10-02T21:38:00.004-06:00

WHO WAS YOUR FAVORITE?
TONIGHT HISTORY WAS MADE AND MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. FIRST OFF WE HAD THE FIRST EVER WOMAN VICE PRESIDENT CANDIDATE EVER IN HISTORY. SECOND, WE HAD A DEBATE THAT WAS HELD UP TO STANDARDS UNDER THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WE ARE IN. THIRD, WE HAD LIVE CORRESPONDENCE WORLD WIDE.
NOW WITH ALL THAT STATED AND OUT OF THE WAY, WHO WAS YOUR FAVORITE?
I THINK FOR ME AS I WATCHED ALONG CNN'S LIVE FEED WOULD HAVE TO BE BIDEN. I THINK HE HELD HIMSELF TO A HIGH STANDARD AND DID IT WITH GRACE. WHILE PALIN KEPT DANCING AROUND THE QUESTIONS ASKED HER AND MANY TIMES SHE FELLED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. SHE SEEMED VERY RESTLESS IN THE BEGINNING AND AT THE END SHE WAS STARTING TO CAMLN DOWN. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK SHE DID A FINE JOB AND SHE DID HOLD HER OWN AND THAT MADE FOR A GREAT DEBATE. IT STILL REMAINS THE ISSUES AND THE TIME FOR A CHANGE IN POLITICS THAT IS MOST IMPORTANT AND I FEEL OBAMA AND BIDEN HAVE A BETTER PLAN FOR CHANGE.
SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ON THIS DEBATE?

LETS BE REAL, WE ALL OUR TO BLAME!

2008-10-01T14:25:00.003-06:00

LETS BE REAL, WE ALL OUR TO BLAME!

I have set back and listened time after time( I have also done this, too!) that it is the President to blame, it is the Congress to blame, it really is all our fault when you stop and look at it as a whole.

The American people have been living well over their means for years and now it is catching up to us all. It seems that what ever Congress does it will only be for the short term fix, but it must come from each of us to make it a long term fix!

Let me explain before you start to get all pissed off. How people do you know that think the more stuff they own is a show of prosperity? How many people do you know that think by driving a high dollar car shows how successful they are? Do you get my point here?

Now how many of these people have bought all of these things on credit with little to no money down to obtain these items? The old adage of: It's not what you do with your money that makes you who you are but how you control your money will make you more than you are. It seems that people want others approval more than they want to do what is right to survive.

So if you understand as I do then it must start with us and all of us to re-think what we are doing with our money. We must all start to pay down our debt and stop buying things we do not need. Here is something real easy to do to get a person started in doing just this! The next time you go to the store and you reach for an item ask yourself is this a want or a need? If you just want it then put it back if it is a need to survive item then buy it. If you can not pay cash for it the put it back. Before long you will see just how much crap you do not need and the little amount you need to survive. I welcome your comments on this so put your two bits in.

Stock Exchange Rising From Ashes Of Black Monday???

2008-09-30T09:35:00.004-06:00

It seems that the Stock Market just might be able do it without the HANDS OF THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT. I still plea to all to start voting out as many of these people we can vote out. It seems they only have the will of the people in mind when it comes close to election time. We need strong people on the hill for the people all the time not just when elections come around. Maybe this whole BAILOUT thing will open the eyes to many people to what has been going on the past eight years with the fear tactic's being used against us to further line their pockets at our expense. I have an idea that just might work with that 700 billion dollars lets put it towards energy independence and design cars that can run cleaner and energy we can afford to heat our homes. What do think is it time to vote them out and demand money towards energy independence? We will make a recovery if we plan ahead to the future and stop all the greedy people in their tracts.

BLACK MONDAY

2008-09-29T21:11:00.001-06:00

WASHINGTON -- In a vote that shook the government, Wall Street and markets around the world, the House today defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue for the nation's financial system, leaving both parties' lawmakers and the Bush administration scrambling to pick up the pieces. Dismayed investors sent the Dow Jones industrials plunging nearly 800 points, the most ever for a single day. "We need to put something back together that works," a grim-faced Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said after he and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke joined in an emergency strategy session at the White House. On Capitol Hill, Democratic leaders said the House would reconvene Thursday, leaving open the possibility that it could salvage a reworked version. All sides agreed the effort to bolster beleaguered financial markets, potentially the biggest government intervention since the Great Depression, could not be abandoned.
But in a remarkable display this morning, a majority of House members slapped aside the best version their leaders and the administration had been able to come up with, bucking presidential speeches, pleading visits from Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and urgent warnings that the economy could nosedive without the legislation. In the face of thousands of phone calls and e-mails fiercely opposing the measure, many lawmakers were not willing to take the political risk of voting for it just five weeks before the elections. The bill went down, 228-205. The House Web site was overwhelmed as millions of people sought information about the measure through the day. The legislation the administration promoted would have allowed the government to buy bad mortgages and other sour assets held by troubled banks and other financial institutions. Getting those debts off their books should bolster those companies' balance sheets, making them more inclined to lend and ease one of the biggest choke points in a national credit crisis. If the plan worked, the thinking went, it would help lift a major weight off the national economy, which is already sputtering. Hoping to pick up enough GOP votes for the next try, Republicans floated several ideas. One would double the $100,000 ceiling on federal deposit insurance. Another would end rules that require companies to devalue assets on their books to reflect the price they could get in the market. In the meantime, Paulson said he would work with other regulators "to use all the tools available to protect our financial system and our economy." "Our tool kit is substantial but insufficient," he said, indicating the government intended to continue piecemeal fixes while pressing Congress for broader action. Stocks started plummeting on Wall Street even before today's vote was over, as traders watched the rescue measure going down on television. Meanwhile, lawmakers were watching them back. As a digital screen in the House chamber recorded a cascade of "no" votes against the bailout, Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley of New York shouted news of the falling Dow Jones industrials. "Six hundred points!" he yelled, jabbing his thumb downward. The final stock carnage was 777 points, far surpassing the 684-point drop on the first trading day after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. In percentage terms, the dropoff was still far below that of Oct. 19, 1987, when the Dow shed 22.6 percent in a single session. But it was dramatic enough that it left many shaken, both on Capitol Hill and off. In the House, "no" votes came from both the Democratic and Republican sides of the aisle. More than two-thirds of Republicans and 40 percent of Democrats opposed the bill. Several Democrats in close election fights waited until the last moment, then went against the bill as it became clear the vast majority of Republicans were opposing it. Thirteen of the 19 most vulnerable Republicans and Democrats in an Associated Press analysis voted against the bill despite the pleas from President Bush and their party leaders to pass it. In all, 65 Republicans joined 140 Democrats in voting "yes," while 133 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted "no." The overriding question was what to do next. "The legislation may have failed; the crisis is still with us," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in a news conference after the defeat. "What happened today cannot stand." Republican leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he and other Republicans were pained to vote for such measure, but he agreed that in light of the potential consequences for the economy and all Americans, "I think that we need to renew our efforts to find a solution that Congress can support." Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said there was scant time to reopen legislation that was the product of hard-fought bipartisan negotiations. "What happened today was not a failure of a bill, it was a failure of will," said Dodd, the Banking Committee chairman. "Our hope is that cooler heads will prevail, people will think about what they did today and recognize that this is not just scare tactics -- it's reality." A brutal round of partisan finger-pointing followed the vote. Republicans blamed Pelosi's scathing speech near the close of the debate -- which assailed Bush's economic policies and a "right-wing ideology of anything goes, no supervision, no discipline, no regulation" of financial markets -- for the defeat. It was not much different from her usual tough words against the president and his party. "We could have gotten there today had it not been for the partisan speech that the speaker gave on the floor of the House," Boehner said. Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., the whip, estimated that Pelosi's speech changed the minds of a dozen Republicans who might otherwise have supported the plan. That amounted to an appalling accusation by Republicans against Republicans, said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the Financial Services Committee: "Because somebody hurt their feelings, they decide to punish the country." More than a repudiation of Democrats, Frank said, Republicans' refusal to vote for the bailout was a rejection of their own president. The two men campaigning to replace Bush watched the situation closely -- from afar -- and demanded action. In Iowa, Republican John McCain said his rival Barack Obama and congressional Democrats "infused unnecessary partisanship into the process. Now is not the time to fix the blame; it's time to fix the problem." Obama said, "Democrats, Republicans, step up to the plate, get it done." Lawmakers were under extraordinary pressure from powerful outside groups, which gave notice they considered the legislation a "key vote" -- one they would consider when rating members of Congress. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said opponents of the bailout would pay for their stance. "Make no mistake: When the aftermath of congressional inaction becomes clear, Americans will not tolerate those who stood by and let the calamity happen," said R. Bruce Josten, the Chamber's top lobbyist, in a letter to members. The conservative Club for Growth made a similar threat to supporters of the bailout. "We're all worried about losing our jobs," Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., declared in an impassioned speech in support of the bill before the vote. "Most of us say, 'I want this thing to pass, but I want you to vote for it -- not me.'" "We're in this moment, and if we fail to do the right thing, Heaven help us," he said. If Congress doesn't come around on a bailout, more pressure would fall on the Federal Reserve. The Fed, which has been providing billions in short-term loans to squeezed banks to help them overcome credit stresses, could keep expanding those loans to encourage lending. And, it could keep working with other central banks to inject billions into financial markets overseas. It also has the power to expand emergency lending to other types of companies and even to individuals if they are unable to secure adequate credit.

Why Sarah Palin should not be VP

2008-09-28T23:07:00.003-06:00

This election is far too important for America's future to allow this person to be elected.
Here are my concerns:
1. John McCain is 72 years old. I've read that he has a nearly 30 percent of dying before his term ends - perhaps much higher because of his less-than-ideal health - recurrent skin cancer episodes, for example. I would think that when you also factor in the chance he'll suffer a debilitating stroke or the like or even be assassinated, the chances would rise to over 50 percent. Therefore Palin should be evaluated as if she were running for President.
I would like good statistics on this issue.
2. Sarah Palin's actual policy positions are at variance with that of most Americans, particularly American women. She is "pro-life" in the extreme - no exceptions for rape or incest - and has denied rape kits to women in Alaska who have been raped.
I would like solid information on her other policy positions, insofar as we know them.
3. Sarah Palin's "pastor(s) problem(s)". One apparently is a witch doctor from Africa and another says the Jews need to be wiped out.
Again, solid information about these - including links to relevant You Tube videos would be much appreciated.
4. Her lies, repeated over and over again. Truth about the "bridge to nowhere" is, I think, pretty well established now, but I am sure there are many others which I would like to document, including "troupergate".
Please help me with this project - I hope this site can help get the truth about this terrible choice out to the American people before the election.
If you feel so inclined, please contribute to the Obama campaign at barackobama.com
Thank you!

If you could change the system!

2008-09-28T22:14:00.003-06:00

If you had the chance to make a difference in the system of Government what would you do to change it?

This is a hard one to do and I expect some crazy idea's but lets see what we can come up with!

Friday Night Debate

2008-09-28T21:30:00.000-06:00

FRIDAY NIGHT DEBATE:

I could not wait for the Friday Night Debate and as I waited all day long I watched CNN. I just can not believe the crisis we have gotten ourselves in. The BAILOUT I think is the worst thing that we could do, but yet what choice do we have? I feel the debate only covered the surface of what either one of these guy's could do. It is hard to make a statement when you do not know what the wording and final bill will be.

I feel that John McCain would be the wrong man for the job when you consider just how close to George W. Bush he is and I am not ready for another four years of the same old stuff. We need a change for the better and I know he can not come close to that. One major thing that bothered me in the debate was all of the worldly places he has been on the tax payers expense. I would think if he was on the hill instead of doing all these travels then maybe he could have made a difference. It seems to me that he was not doing the job he was elected to do if he was not their to do it!

Obama has some truth to what he says and he will not deni the way he has voted on issues like McCain kept making excuses for the way he voted on issues. We need someone to stand-up and not lie to the American people or throw fear tactic's at us. Obama did a fine job in the debate the way I seen it. He does have room for improvements and I am looking forward to the next debate.
