November 02 Election related linkis I posted on FacebookGreetings all, I have shared a lot of links lately related to the election on my facebook page. For those of you that sometimes frequent my blog but not my facebook page. Here is a sample of those links. And below the link is my comment if any. And I am not a big supporter of McCain, though I am going to vote for him. I am not asking you to vote for McCain. But if you are thinking of voting for Obama, think twice before you do. What do you really know about Obama outside of his fancy speaches? Hell, his sister and he can not even agree on where he was born. Maybe you could vote for Nader, Barr, Riva, or some other third party candidate. Obama 'admits' Kenyan birth? The Savage Nation Michael Savage has links to many news stories related to the election. Check some of them out. You might be surprised by what you find out. Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days Don't tell me Obama is not a marxist. He practically waves it in our faces. I mean, I could be wrong. He might not have ever read his own book, that he wrote himself. Yea, I guess I could be wrong. Not to mention that he has a huge lack of experience. I mean people are concerned if McCain dies in office, some how we are screwed with Palin as Vice President. Well wouldn't we be more screwed if Obama did not die in office for Biden to take command. Isn't it better to have a VP that has more experience than the possible sitting president? CharlestonWatch.com > Shrimp 'n Grits 2 Charged With Assaulting GOP Campaign Workers A friend of mine who I work with was talking to me about Obama today. He said that Obama has the largest number of volunteers in history working on his campaign. He asked me "What does that tell you about Obama?". Honestly, that he is a good talker, and thats about it. But here is a nice little news story on a few of his supporters. Not sure if they are volunteers or not, but does it really matter? A speechwriter for Obama, Edwards, and Clinton on why she’s voting McCain. How Low Can It Go? Richardson Pegs Middle Class as Those Making Under $120,000 Don't fool yourself into thinking that Obama wants to help the middle class. He is an elitist. He wants to take as much away from you as possible, and have the government pass out checks to people as it sees fit. There will basically be two classes, the haves (government) and the have nots (everyone else). Forget the label rich and poor. There will basically be a penalty for achieving. If you want to make more money to support your family, under Obama, that extra money you make for bettering yourself will be gone. Distributed to someone else who does not achieve to make themselves better. You can already see this by him lowering the number of income to be considered "Middle Class". It started at $250,000, and now its already down to $150,000 to $120,000. I am not saying vote for McCain. But think twice before voting for Obama. Dear Mr Obama A Young Liberal WomanA young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and an occasional chat with various professors, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, 'How is your friend Audrey doing?' She replied, 'Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes the next day because she's too hung over.' Her wise father asked his daughter, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.' The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, 'That's a crazy idea. That would not be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!' The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently,'Welcome to the Republican party.' If anyone has a better explanation of the difference between a I modified the end because there is really not much difference between a republican and democrat. You can have a liberal republican and a conservative democrat. But in general, we associate conservatism with the republicans, and liberalism with the democrats. The truth is that there are Democrats who are conservative that I would have voted for over McCain if they were running against him. Democrats like Zel Miller from Georgia, hell, even JFK I would have voted for. JFK was more conservative than John McCain is now. The conservatives do not have a strangle hold on the Republican party like the liberals do on the Democrat party. |
