Just because Obama and his clique say eight years of Bush is bad simply does not mean that the eight years are bad. The so-called Bush tax cut actually contributed to making a strong economy, and recall that the democrats opposed it so. The economy's plight rests sqaurely on the deeds and misdeeds of the Congress and its failure to oversee the mortgage industry while at the same time pushing unqualified credit. Credit used to be something a person had to work hard to qualify for and there was a reason for it. The reason for qualifying for credit is now once again proven. Giving out credit to anybody results in all of us having to pay for it. So, in the end, Bush too is no different from Obama when it comes to redistributing wealth! That is, if you believe that Bush is responsible for the economy and believe that Congress has not a thing to do with it. We are a sick nation, to be sure, when people do not know what the H is going on right in fron of them!

I feel that the polls, as are the media pundits are biased, in how they phrase their questions and ratio of Democrats versus Republications. Let me see if I, as one of the “Bitter Americans clinging to my Bible and Guns” can provide you with a few examples for note voting for Obama’s socialism. 1. He wants to establish a “Euro Socialist” form of government for us. 2. Pushing for universal health care such as France and Canada. 3. Wants to provide “Open Voting” for the unions. 4. Wants to re-establish a “Welfare State” by taking from the Rich and give to the 40% non-tax paying folks. 5. At an address before Planned Parenthood on July 17, 2007, Obama said: "The first thing I will do as President is signing the Freedom of Choice Act." 6. Bankrupt our coal industry. 7. Reduce our military and create a “Civilian” security force. Sounds like shades of the past to me? And finally he will raise taxes on small business’ and anyone making $42,000 + to support his welfare agenda. 7. Illegally investigating private citizens who oppose his agenda. He has falsely stated his agenda and how he plans for us, who pay taxes, to pay for his s socialist agenda. We are seeing a “Mind Set” of people voting for Obama to ignore his Tax, Supreme Court and National Security agendas supported by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank which will evolve into a Socialist America. . Could go on, but this gives you JUST a few examples. Viet Nam Vet for McCain

Here is another part of Obama's message uncoverd today that says even more for all American's in the same interview: ""“You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, you know — under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.”"" What this is saying is even Natural gas and "you name it" but the main thing I see in this is that he is saying that any added cost or taxes on these industries is passed down to the consumers?? so I guess if the voters would listen to what he is saying that even just his higher taxes and spreading the wealth is going to make the products and services to go up.

The Bush/McCain Administration has given the American people one more disastrous economic figure right before Nov 4th.. The Institute for Supply Management’s factory index fell to 38.9 from 43.5 in September. Anything above 50 means the economy is expanding — like all 8 of the Clinton years. Meaning manufacturing in the US contracted significantly in October at the fastest pace in 26 years as more banks tightened credit and the US economy eroded prospects for American exports. Thanks to Republican ineptitude, incompetence, and over all dishonesty, manufacturing is definitely in a deep recession right now and will not see any daylight for at least another, (maybe two) year(s). ….thus, horrific economic numbers the day before the elections. It clearly reflects the lack of leadership and catastrophic mismanagement as noted by traders on InTrade when the ISM numbers was released this morning at 10:00 am. Intrade Market Obama 90.0 McCain 10.0 There is a silver lining though, the McCain/Palin campaign was spared total humiliation and a probable blow-out because the unemployment figures won’t come out until Friday at 08:30 am ----------------------- [.The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.] Sun Tzu, the ‘Art Of War’

How can any of you trust B. Hussein O. to be the commander in chief when he never even so much has SPOKEN to an active duty soldier, much less played one on TV?

Obama agrees with Bush on many issues; look at his record. Except, that Obama wants to decide your life FOR you. I'm voting for the person who has been a thorn in the side of both George Bushes for 20 years: Ronald Reagan's wingman: JOHN McCAIN.

Twas the Night Before Elections ‘Twas the night before elections And all through the town Tempers were flaring Emotions all up and down! I, in my bathrobe With a cat in my lap Had cut off the TV Tired of political crap. When all of a sudden There arose such a noise I peered out of my window Saw Obama and his boys They had come for my wallet They wanted my pay To give to the others Who had not worked a day! He snatched up my money And quick as a wink Jumped back on his bandwagon As I gagged from the stink He then rallied his henchmen Who were pulling his cart I could tell they were out To tear my country apart! ‘ On Fannie, on Freddie, On Biden and Ayers! On Acorn, On Pelosi’ He screamed at the pairs! They took off for his cause And as he flew out of sight I heard him laugh at the nation Who wouldn’t stand up and fight! So I leave you to think On this one final note- IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! .

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
