The End Of America As We Know It

This country is going to change in a dramatic way now that Obama has won this election. Our entire way of life is going to be in jeopardy now. We are going to have a massive government telling us how to live our life and how to spend our money. Obama is going to take our money and spend it as he sees fit. The new Democratic House, Senate and President are going to change everything about this country. They are going to create a massive government that will grow with each piece of legislation in which they will put forth.

Wow, all I can say is, what a disaster? People have no idea what they have just unleashed by voting for this guy. People have no idea what is going happen to their pocket book. This new President Obama is going to create a new welfare state. He is going to put an entirely new meanings to the words "Entitlement Programs". I guess people think that they will not be the ones paying for these new programs. What fools!

So for me, tonight is the beginning of the end. I believe tonight marks to beginning of the destruction of our capitalistic free market system, which has made this country so powerful. Tonight I believe that all ends. America will no longer be the most powerful country on the planet economical or militarily.

It will be very interesting to see how these next four years play out. If they play out the way I believe they will, we will be in a extremely bad economic way. And guess what, President Obama will still blame President Bush for the problems. The reason I know this is last night in his acceptance speech he told everyone that it will take a very long time to fix the problems he is inheriting from this administration. He even went on to say he probably could not live up to his promises in his first term. Wow, he campaigns on this stuff and then in his first speech tells everyone that it all might not be possible. Well, let me save you the suspense, it's not possible! He will not live up to any of his entitlement program promises because why? Because there is NO MONEY! There is no money in this government to pay for any of his plans. He would have to raise taxes to destructive heights, which I don't think he will do because he will destroy what is left of our economy.

I do hope that he will not be stupid and try to raise taxes on these corporations like he says he will. Hopefully he will have an economic adviser that will tell him that that will ruin companies which will cause the lay offs of many people which he said he was going to help.
We can only hope!

Obama And His Associations

Obama's associations are an important issue because it speaks directly at his judgement. So, I hate when his campaign says that the Americans don't care about that stuff and lets talk about the issues. Yes, of course the economy is the most important issue, so I wish the Obama campaign would stop saying lets stick to the economy only. I think McCain is completely better on the economy anyways, but lets talk about that later. The thing is is there are more issues than just the economy. There are tons of issues facing this country at all times. There has never been a president who did not have to deal with some type of major issue during their presidency. That is why we as Americans need to look at each candidates past in order to get a good idea of their future. So, that is why I think Obama's associations are a very important issue and the Obama campaign knows this, which is why they are trying so hard to divert our attention from these associations by telling Americans that we are in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, LOL.

Look people, we had 30% unemployment during the Great Depression, we were about to be involved in the largest war on the planet ever and the houses crisis was ten times larger than the one now. In 1980 when President Regan took over, he took over with 10% unemployment, a very large deficit, a large debt, 12.5% inflation rate, and 21.5% intrest rates. When Regan left office, he left with 5% unemployment, 4% inflation, 12% intrest rates, and cold war ended. Right now we have only 6.1% unemployment, inflation is much lower, and intrest rates are at 6%. So how in the world is this financial crisis the worst one since the Great Depression? How can Americans be so ignorant to believe that it is the worst crisis since the Great Depression?

Yesterday the Dow had record increases which shows us that the market will rebound from the recent down turn. Out free market system will work for us now the same way it has for the last 100 years. Why should we elect this untested guy? Why should we elect a guy who pals around with racists, terorrists, and slum lords?

Why is it ok for Obama to sit in a church for 22 years listening to an extremely racist pastor giving his sermans? Why is it not an issue that Obama had relationships with an unrepentant terorrist? Why is it ok for Obama to help a convicted slum lord get government money for housing projects for African American communities and then buy land from the same convicted slum lord? I ask why?

What if it were McCain sitting in a white supremicing church for 22 years? Wouldn't that be the main topic of disscussion in the mainstream media? What if McCain was friends with Timothy Mcveigh after he bombed the ATF building and visited him in jail the months after his arrest? What if McCain helped to get funding for someone who was convicted of giving African Americans substandard living conditions?

If the associations were McCains associations then we would have a entirely different approach to them by our mainstream media in this country. The mainstream media will not talk about Obama'a associations because they know if they do the American people will surely elect John McCain a republican to be our next President and they can't stand the thought of another republican holding the highest office for another 4 years.

The Moment Of Truth

In recent days I have been feeling more and more discouraged about what the outcome of this election will become. Each day we get closer I hear more people discussing the election and extending their opinion about each candidate's policies. If there is one thing I have realized more than anything else during these discussions is, Obama is very good at getting people to believe that they will not be subjected to the higher taxes needed in order to pay for his plans. People really believe they won't be paying the price tag for all of Obama's added programs. Poor people think that the rich will be the only ones who will pay the extra cost for his plans.

Well, all I can say is that everybody better think again because it is all bull. There is no possible way the middle class can get out of paying for Obama's new programs. First of all, Obama openly says he will eliminate the Bush tax cuts which will affect everyone making more than forty two thousand dollars a year. This is a very clever way of raising taxes on the middle class without making it look like he was the one responsible for doing so. Of course he is making it look like it is Bush's fault but when in reality it is just Obama raising taxes. Another news flash to every Obama supporter out there is that big corporations don't pay taxes. They collect taxes, from the consumers of their products or services by simply raising the cost. So what does that mean? It means we the middle class will pay the new corporate taxes which Obama plans on raising when he takes office. Just to give a quick example, lets say someone who is only making $20,000 a year is saving their hard earned money to finally buy that flat screened TV they have always wanted. Well, they will actually pay 20% more for that TV if Obama gets elected. So, if that TV cost $2,000 it will now cost $2,400 plus the sales tax on top of the extra cost which will also be more than before because the percentage will be more. And by my understanding, I thought Obama said "Only if you make $250,000 a year or more you will pay higher taxes.", but this person who makes $20,000 a year is going to pay $424 more for their TV. My friends that is raising taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year in a clever way.

The thing that bothers me the most about this, is that Obama is a very educated man, which means he knows all of this is going to happen. He knows the middle class will ultimately pay his higher taxes but yet continues to campaign on slogans that say he is going to give the middle class tax cuts. Obama knows the corporations are going to raise their costs on us after he raises their taxes 13% but yet he still tells us he is looking out for us. Obama knows, that after these corporations raise their costs, they might not sell as much of their product as before, which will force them to cut our jobs. These corporations will have to cut good jobs which give good benefits but yet Obama says he is looking out for us, the middle class. Face it people, the cost of everything will go up. Our grocery bills will go up, our electric bills will go up, our fuel costs will go up, all of our bills will go up, but yet Obama insits he will not raise our taxes! Yes, maybe our tax bill will not go up but every other bill will go up, so what is the difference?

I say Obama is as phoney as they come. He is playing class warfare which is extremely dangerous in this country. This country has been running on capitalism for over a hundred years and has been very successful in doing so. So because of one recession, one of many recessions, we are now going to change they way we run our great country. Come on people, socialism is not something we should experiment with during these difficult times or any times for that matter. Socialism is expensive and means big government telling us what to do with our money. Is that what we Americans really want? I don't believe Americans really want what Obama is trying to sell us. I do believe Americans are really upset with George Bush, the same as I am and believe Obama when he says, McCain will be just like Bush. Although, Americans voting with these kinds of emotions, I believe will be very damaging to our country.

It is actually quite sad to be honest. Just because one republican president does a bad job in the white house, Americans are willing to give up our way of life which we have been living for so long by casting a vote for Obama. Look I know that sounds a little dramatic but it is true if you are paying attention to what it is that Obama wants to do when he takes office. Obama wants government to do everything for everyone instead of us doing for ourselves which is socialism. He wants to spend our money the way he sees fit.

Unfortunate Future

This election season is going in the wrong direction to say the least. I am in total disbelief as well as completely frustrated when I hear Americans say that Obama is better on the economy than McCain. I ask myself, "Can Americans be that ignorant, when it comes to this robin hood method of running our country?". Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela, has been trying that robin hood method of running his country for several years now, which has been failing miserably.

I guess the reason Americans are buying into this message from Obama is because it is being pounded into their heads on a constant basis by the bias mainstream media. Also, Obama has approximately $70 million a month to work with for advertising which is why every time you turn on the radio or the TV you hear Obama saying, "95% of Americans are going to get a tax cut while the top 5% are going to get increases". This is so funny because 41% of Americans don't even pay federal income taxes, so how could you cut what they don't pay. Another fact under the current tax system is that the top 5% earning Americans already pay 67% of the federal taxes and the top 1% pays 30% of the federal taxes. So, how much does Obama plan on making the top 5% pay?

These are facts of which most Americans are totally unaware. Many of those 41% of Americans who do not pay any federal taxes, probably think that they do pay taxes. They are probably confusing social security taxes and medicare taxes with federal taxes. Since these people think they are paying federal taxes they also think that it is so great that Obama is going to cut their taxes. This is so misleading because these voters are basing their decisions on false information. These people are also unaware that if Obama increases the taxes on Corporate America it will only be passed onto them. These companies will just pass the added cost of taxes onto us the consumers. Since, the prices of these goods and services are going to increase because of the increase in taxes they will be forced to pay under Obama's new tax plan, they will probably sell less. If they sell less product that will obviously mean less profit which will ultimately lead to laying off workers. Either way you look at it, we the middle class are going to pay for Obama's tax increases. This is why I am so frustrated when I hear people say, "Obama is thinking about the poor people, and is only going to tax the rich.".

Also, I am very angry at McCain for not defending his positions on taxes much stronger than he has been. McCain needs to get angry out there on the debate floor and defend his positions on tax cuts for big corporations. These corporations are hurting, which is what is causing this country to go into a recession. Taxing these companies even more will only make the situation worse than it already is now. These companies will cut jobs, spending, and benefits if they are taxed more in these ruff times. Which jobs will they cut? The middle class jobs will be the first ones to be cut. So, how is it that Obama thinks he is looking out for us, when he is causing our companies to lay us off from our jobs.

What Obama and Obama supporters do not understand is that everybody needs their taxes cut during these times as well as government spending needs to be suspended for a while. Which means we need to make some sacrifices in order to move forward. The first concern needs to be getting the market stable again which will naturally create more jobs and bring in more revenue which will ultimately bring more taxes in the end. After that is accomplished, we can begin to pay down the deficit. I think Americans forget that we have had large deficits before and managed to pay them off and we have never accomplished that by raising taxes. When Ronald Regan took office, he took office with a large deficit, double digit unemployment and he lowered taxes which eventually got us out of debt and lowered unemployment. The way Ronald Regan did that was by lowering taxes on everyone. Lowering taxes in tough times is the single most important thing the government can do to help the country recover from a recession.

McCain's tax plan will bring relief to everyone including the middle class, rich people, and large corporations. This will stimulate the economy by keeping the money where it belongs, out of the hands of a bureaucrat. The government will only waste the money as they always have before. Income redistribution will not work and it is not fair. One of the greatest things about this country is that if you work hard and educate yourself, you can make yourself rich. Now, why should you share your hard work with someone who is not willing to go that extra mile. I don't know, maybe it is just me, but I do not pity anyone who has four children and is struggling to get make ends meet. They should have learned from the first child. My wife and I make pretty good money and we desire to have children one day, but we are waiting until our financial situation is good enough for us to have a child. We share a car, we don't eat out, we budget our weekly spending, we invest all of our extra money and we do all of this in an effort to save money for our future. This is why I do not pity the irresponsible people who keep having children and can not afford too. Why should I be responsible and pay their mistakes?

Last night on the news they showed a plumber asking Obama about his tax plan and Obama replied by saying, "I am going to raise your taxes, because we need to spread the wealth around to everyone." All I can say is Wow, with a capital "W"! Listen to that message of socialism. Basically, what this means is, if you sacrifice, work hard, stay up late studying for a degree and become successful you will be able to contribute more to the people who do not. Responsible people carry the burden of the irresponsible people under Obama's philosophy of government.

Anyone who is reading this is probably thinking that I am really cold person, but actually I am not. I do not mind helping people who truly can not do for themselves. For example, someone who has a disability such as being paralysed, someone who is mentally challenged, a war veteran with a missing limb, someone who is dying from cancer or a child born with aids and so on. Of course their are always some people who could not make it in life without the help of the government which is totally acceptable. In some cases I think we do not do enough for some people.

Although, on the hand the government is helping totally capable people with things that they should be doing for themselves. No matter how good or bad the economy is these are the same people who always have their hands out looking for the rest of us to support them. These are the people for whom I have absolutely no pity for and I could care less whether they live in house or in a cardboard box. And if they have kids then government should take them or the government should give them vouchers for daycare, so that they can go to work and earn something in life. There should be a work for welfare program. No one should just get a check from the government without preconditions. If not then where does it end?

There are many reasons not to vote for Obama but I believe the biggest one is his idea of socialism. Then their is his associations with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, Acorn and Tony Rezko. These are real relationships that people need to take into consideration. Reverend Jeremiah Wright is as racist as they come and Obama sat in his church for 20 years. Obama went to Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church twice a month for 20 years and claims he did not hear any of his racist talk. Does he really expect us to believe him. Reverend Jeremiah Wright married Barrack and Michelle as well as baptising his two children. Obama only distanced himself from Wright because of politics. And I hate when Obama says, "I was eight years old when William Ayers bombed the pentagon.". It isn't about whether Obama was part of it or not, but it is about his judgement. Our future President should not be sitting on the board with domestic terrorists. It does not matter how long ago the incident happened.

Also, Obama only has 7 total years of experience as a politician. In his two years as a senator he has never voted for lower taxes for the middle class but has voted for middle class tax increases. Yes, you did read that right, middle class tax increases. Four times to be exact. Isn't he the one saying he is going to cut the middle class taxes? It will never happen folks. It is all smoke and mirrors.

Clinton Versus Bush, Democrats Versus Repuplicans

One of the common assessments I hear quite often during this election is that the Clinton era was so much better than the Bush era in regards to the economy. This is a topic I have discussed many times with friends, family and strangers. Of course the economy was much better during the Clinton era. But lets take a look at why the economy was better, what made the economy better, and who made the economy better.

There are so many different factors when it comes to the economy. A good economy and a bad economy. One thing, we were in total peace time during the Clinton era. The Internet exploded onto the scene during the Clinton era and the last time I checked, Clinton did not invent the Internet. Along with the Internet, came the tech boom. This was the true driving force behind our economy during the Clinton era. Companies like "Yahoo", "Google", and "Amazon.com" came onto the scene in the 1990's. The Dot-Com Boom drove the market up so high and created so many jobs during the Clinton era. Also, these were good paying jobs which led to a real estate boom.

All was good until the bubble bursted in the late 1990's during Clinton's last two years in office, which continued right on into the beginning of the Bush era.

Also, people need to be reminded that there are three branches of federal government, which are the President, the House, and the Senate, each with fairly equal powers. When Clinton took office he had a democratically controlled House and Senate for the first two years until the republicans took over for his remaining six years. During Clinton's first two years he raised taxes on everyone including the middle class, which he, just like Obama said he was not going to but did anyway. It wasn't until the republicans took over the House and the Senate that taxes were cut on everyone including the big corporations.

Bush inherited an economy that was in the beginning stages of a recession. Then, as we all know in Bush's first year in office the horrible attacks of 911 took place which had devastating effects on our economy. It hurt our economy in so many ways that people do not even realize. The airlines were grounded for three days, which almost put them out of business. As a result to that the Government had to bailout the airline companies. The stock market took historical hits the months there after 911. Then of course we had to go to war with Afghanistan as direct result of 911. All of these things were playing factors in the downing of our economy.

As we can see it is the circumstances that can help a President look good or look bad. There is a lot of luck that comes into play with some of these things.

Now, in this present day economic situation it would be a drastic mistake to raise taxes on anyone, especially big corporations in which put the most money into our economy. People need to understand that if you tax the big corporations they will cut good jobs, they will pass the cost on to us, and there will be less money for growth. And growth is what creates new jobs.

Less taxes and less Government spending is the key to getting out of this economic crisis. We should let the people get us out of this mess not the Government.

Economic Frustrations In The Elections

Each day I grow even more frustrated when I hear Obama is the one benifiting from this economic crisis. Are people that naive in this country? Are people that uniformed in this country? I guess people do not understand that the democrats are the main culprits behind the sub prime mortgages. The democrats wanted loans made possible to low income families and minorities. Franklins Raines the CEO of Fannie Mae is on Obama's campaign staff. Democratic Representative Barney Frank was in charge of overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during this crisis. Barney Frank said on several occasions that these financial institutions were not in any danger. Maybe that is because Barney Frank also had a homosexual relationship with one of Fannie Mae's top executives during the 1990's when this whole mess began.

John McCain in 2005 co-sponsored a bill to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This bill was rejected by the democrats.

John McCain needs to get angry and fight back when these democrats try to put their own mess on him! This is the most ridiculous stuff I have ever heard in my entire life! The same people who wanted these institutions to give money to people who could not pay it back are now the same people blaming the other side of the aisle. The worst thing about this is that Americans are so stupid that they believe this crap. Americans watch the bias news agencies and think they are getting the truth.

I mean come on, Obama has received the third most money ever from Fannie Mae in campaign contributions, ever! He is only a three year senator. The democrats were in bed with these institutions for years and now they are blaming the republicans. The reason they are getting away with it is because they tell everyone it is Bush policies that got us to this point. And Americans are so dissatisfied with Bush that they believe he had something to do with everything, which is not true.

Americans need to wake the f--- up. Obama is planning $1,500,000,000,000.00 of new spending. This is more than twice the amount that America has spent in the 5 years we have been at war in Iraq. More than twice! He is going to raise social security tax, death tax, capital gains tax, rich tax, and taxes on large corporations.

How do Americans think that these corporations are going to make up this loss on these higher taxes? They are going to pass the cost onto the consumer which is you, the middle class. Isn't the middle class who Obama said he was going to give tax cuts too? Seriously this is what will happen. In the end the taxes will be evenly distributed, trust me. Their is no way the middle class will avoid the extra costs of this new government spending in which Obama plans.

What do Americans think will happen if Obama doubles capital gains taxes during this crisis? It will deter investment which is needed to grow this economy. Will this help companies to add new jobs, do you think? Do you think doubling the capital gains tax will attract foreign investment which is so badly needed? I don't think so. I think it will send investment to other countries where there is no capital gains taxes. Which will create new jobs in other countries.

McCain has a history of voting for lower taxes for everyone including the middle class. Obama has history of voting for higher taxes including the middle class. McCain has history of working across the aisle with democrats and Obama does not.
This is why I am so frustrated with my country. Why is Obama benefiting from this economic crisis? It just does not make any sense unless Americans truly want to change into a socialistic country.

If you vote for Obama you are voting for higher taxes, less jobs, more government, weaker military, socialism, radicalism, no drilling and inexperience.

McCain is for less spending, smaller government, lower taxes for everyone including rich people, stronger military and capitalism.

Vice Presidential Debate

This week is my first week back to work from my surgery and this is the reason for why it has taken me so long to write something about the debate. Wow! What a sigh of relief! Sarah Palin did a fantastic job. Actually in my opinion, she did a much better job than McCain did against Obama. She has really set a new bar for the McCain ticket, and now McCain needs to run with it in order to move ahead of Obama. Which I believe he can do. At least I hope he can, for the sake of this great country.
That debate I thought was so entertaining and at the same time very informative. Sarah showed to the American public that she is not this stupid bimbo that the left side wants everyone to believe. She is a tax cutter for the middle class and she is tough on her own party. These are things that are in the record books, so they are indisputable. Where as everything that Obama is promising to the folks is not proven, actually it is proven to be the opposite.
It will be interesting to see how the second debate goes with McCain.

Major Concerns About Bailout Plan

Tonight I was watching"Hannity and Combs", and of course the topic of the evening was the $700 billion bailout plan. There are some of the details of this plan that are just so disturbing. One of the biggest things that is driving me so crazy about the democrats is that they want to renegotiate people's mortgages who are in foreclosure. This bothers me because, what about all of those people who have been responsible by paying their mortgage's on time every month and have been hit just as hard as anyone else has been by this economy. There are lots people just like my parents who have lost lots of value in their homes but are not in foreclosure. These people are paying higher gas prices too, they are paying higher grocery bills as well, and they have watched the value of their homes plummet. So my question to Capital Hill is, are these responsible people going to be brought to the renegotiating table along with all of those irresponsible people, so that they can get a lower mortgage payment as well.

When I here these democrats talk about this issue it almost sounds like they think home ownership is an entitlement and not a privilege. This way of thinking is what got us into this mess to begin with. The reason the financial institutions are failing is because poor people bought houses they could not afford. Now, the taxpayers are being asked to solve these people's problems. I don't even own my own home, so why should one dollar of my tax money go to help someone else buy their home. It's just not fair. They should loose their homes and learn a valuable lesson. And that lesson is, don't borrow more than you can payback. Next thing you know, this bill will include paying their credit cards.



The next part of the bill that I don't like at all, is that the government is going to buy all of the bad paper. All that is going to do is increase the size of our government. The new branch of government will be the real estate department and they will be in charge of selling these houses. Come on people, wake up!!! The government is inefficient in every way. There will be tons of waste which the money will never get back to us and there will be lots of back door deals.



The government can set up an insurance fund for these companies. The companies can pay a premium to the government. Also the government can provide these companies with loans to get them through these hard times which they can pay back to the government with interest. And the banks should keep the bad paper!!! They should cancel out capital gains tax in order to attract more investment which will stimulate the economy and create more jobs.



I don't believe Nancy Peloci's totally out of line speech that she gave right before the vote, is what caused the failure of the bill. This bill goes against our capitalistic country and that is why the republicans did not vote for it. Actually the democrats are playing games because they have the majority which means they can pass the bill without the republican vote. They want to take credit if the bill works and if it is successful but they also want to be able to blame the republicans if it does not work. That is why they want the republican vote so badly.

So with all the games they playing they are still pointing fingers. Amazing!

Days After The Debate

Wow, Wow, I don't know what else to say after seeing the polls today! You should have seen the look of shock on my face when I read Obama was up 50% to McCain 42% in the Gallup polls today. It was priceless! All day today when I watched the news, I was just confused when I heard people say that Obama did better than McCain.



One thing that especially surprises me, and actually quite annoys me is when hear commentators say that Obama is stronger on the economy. I would like to hear one thing that Obama has done that makes him more qualified than McCain on the issues of the economy. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but what I've been hearing from Obama is that he plans on introducing $1 trillion of new spending when he takes office. He plans on raising taxes on all of the biggest corporations that provide tons of jobs, create new jobs and spend billions of dollars in our economy. Also he says he is going to raise social security tax on everyone including the middle class, he is going to raise the death tax and he is going to to double the capital gains tax. After all of this, he looks in the cameras with a straight face and says quote "I am going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans".



Obama must think we Americans are as naive as he is on these issues. First of all 41% of Americans don't even pay income taxes, so he can't cut what they don't pay. He is really going to give people a rebate check any where from $500 to $1000 depending on how much they earn. Which he hasn't said whether or not he will continue to give that rebate check every year. That is not a tax cut! Also, if you look up his voting record, he has voted four times for higher taxes on people earning $42,000 year. Second, by raising taxes on big corporations is in essence the same thing as raising taxes on the middle class and the poor. Why? Because they will just pass the added cost on to us, the consumers. Which will also have a great effect on small businesses. Third, doubling the capital gains tax will put great strains on our economy by scaring away investments that is needed in order to grow our economy. If anything, capital gains tax should be cut to zero.



On the other hand, McCain wants to cut taxes across the board. He wants to cut taxes for big business which will help to keep the costs down on the stuff we buy everyday. It will help to keep jobs here in America. McCain will cut capital gains tax which will attract more investors which will help to grow the economy. McCain will cut government spending which is the complete opposite of his counterpart.



So, I guess for people who think that big expensive government that does everything for the people is good, than I guess Obama is the best choice them. But if your someone who understands that nothing is free, everything comes with hard work and accountability is important than McCain is the best choice for them.

Debate

I have to admit that before the debate I was a little nervous about how McCain would perform. Really, I thought it could go either way.

Hands down I think McCain won the debate. The entire debate Obama was on the defensive and Obama had agreed with McCain 8 times. Also, the remark that McCain had made about sitting on the table with the leader of Iran was so funny.

I know I am a McCain supporter and everyone expects I am going to say that he won the debate, but seriously though, the one thing that I can say I really took out of the debate is that McCain is way more experienced than Obama.

Watching the leftwing media though, they think that Obama did better on the issues concerning the economy because he is thinking about the little people. I think Obama did better on the economy if you think that giving everything away is great and taxes to no end is the answer to our problems. Although, if you understand that nothing in this world is free and that everyone must work for what they want, than I think McCain won on the issues of the economy as well as the foreign policy issues.

It will be interesting to see how the polls are in the next few days. That will be the true show of how things went.

Anger Towards All Of This Blame Game

Waking up this morning and listening to these democrats on the television talk about how it is all John McCain's fault that the bailout did not go through last night, is making me so very angry. The only republican that was really on board 100% with this idea was President Bush and his advisers. The house republicans were never on board with this plan and John McCain knew it, which is why he went out there in the first place. Now, Sen. Dodd and Sen. Reid are on the television lieing to the American public, by saying that everyone was on board before John McCain arrived. Which all the republicans are saying no way. They are just trying to play the blame game so that they can help Obama's campaign.

I for one am very glad that they did not approve the bailout last night and hope that some of details do not get approved. This plan is going to make our country one more step closer to becoming socialistic country. It's disgusting. We don't hold anyone accountable anymore for themselves.

It should not be a bailout. We the taxpayers should not buy the bad loans. We should hold the companies accountable. The companies should get a loan from the government perhaps but they should still own the bad loans in my opinion.

Also the democrats are proposing that in this deal something should be done to help people in foreclosure. They want to maybe restructure their loans or even revalue the loans. Can you believe this nonsense? I can't! What about the 95% of homeowners who are not in foreclosure, who pay their bills on time, have lost tons of value in their homes and are having hard economic times? What about them? Is the government going to help them? Are they going to get a check from the government for the loss of value in their home's? The answer is NO!! Why? Because they are responsible and are not is foreclosure, so would not be helped in this plan. Their are so many Americans who have lost lots of value in their homes in the last two years. Actually, I know several people who are in that situation right now as I'm sure you do too.

I'm not suggesting we don't help fellow Americans when times are tough. But the question is how do we help and what do we them with? We help people with food, clothes, jobs, and rent control, but we do not help people with their mortgages. We should help people with the necessities and home ownership is not a necessity. Come on, next thing you know we are going to help them with their credit card bills because they bought too many Xboxes! These people got in over their heads and bought houses they could not afford and now we are being asked to help them pay their mortgages. I don't even have a mortgage. I pay rent. Should the government help me with my rent?

All I am saying is home ownership is not a right, it's a privilege. It is something that someone earns with hard work. If you can't own then you can rent an apartment just like millions of other Americans.

Criticism of McCain's Decision to Postpone The Debate

Even though I am a McCain Supporter I am a little disappointed that he has decided to postpone the debate. Actually I do understand why he did it, although I am not sure that all the voters out there do understand.
You know that all of Obama supporters are laughing and saying McCain is afraid to debate Obama, which is absolutely not true at all. McCain has offered on several occasions to do ten town hall style debates with Obama and Obama did not accept. So if anyone is afraid of a real debate, it is Obama because we all know this debate that they are going to have on Friday night is going to be a rigged debate. Where as town hall debates would be real debates, where the audience would be able to ask questions of the candidates without them knowing the questions prior to the debate.

Of course though, the mainstream media never talked about Obama not accepting those debates, but now they are talking about McCain wanting to postpone this debate. The reason he is postponing this debate is because of this crisis that they are trying to deal with on Capital Hill. Just in case anyone forgot, Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama are still senators and are still being paid as so. If it were Obama who decided to postpone the event, the media would be praising him as if he were Jesus.

Come on folks John McCain has tons of foreign policy experience which is what Friday nights debate is about, so why would McCain be afraid to debate him on those issues. But once again the mainstream media is failing the Americans.

Misled Voters

Today I heard further proof that the media is so bias when it comes to this election. This morning I spoke on the phone with a friend of mine who I don't speak to very often and we had a discussion about the election. He voiced his opinion about not liking either candidate, which I respect very much. When asking him why he did not like John McCain his reasons were that, he was too old, his VP pick should be at home with her kids, and what has he ever done to show he will make a good president.
My friend sounded just like a spokesman for the left wing media. I almost had a heart attack. Now, like I said I respect others opinions but all I ask is that the opinions are based on the facts.
When I asked him what did he even know about Sarah Palin, he said quote, "she has five kids, she's against abortion, one of her kids has mental problems, and she is running around trying to be president". When I heard that I was so apauled. Where did he get that opinion from? Well, I would have to guess from that left wing media. I have never heard someone ask, "How a male politician was going to take care of their children while being the President". Have you? Bill Clinton was never asked, George Bush was never asked and from what I remember no one has ever been asked that.
It just goes to show you how backwards Americans truly are today. England has had women prime ministers. The Phillippines has a women President. India has a women President. But Americans who preach to the world about equality will say things like my friend said today. It's just amazing.

Sarah Palin has been in politics since 1992 until now. Sixteen years she has been serving the state of Alaska as politician. Sarah has served in many different forms of politics, as a city council women, as mayor, she served on the commission of the Oil And Gas Conservation of Alaska as the chairwomen of ethics, and she served as the Governor. To get into these positions she fought people in her own party and fought the corrupt oil companies. Although, when I asked my friend what did he know about her, all he could say was she had five kids. It's very sad, but I blame the left wing media for it.

I sure hope that before this election people will better educate themselves before they cast their votes. As long as people know the facts about each candidate and base their decisions on the facts, then I respect their choice.

Economy

One of the most mind boggling things to me is that Obama wins points in the polls due to this whole wall street bailout.
I would have to guess it's because the mainstream media will not report on the S. 109[109th] Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Act of 2005 piece of legislation that Sen. McCain tried to pass in January of 2005 which could of helped us avoid this financial mess. This was a bill that Chuck Hagel sponsored and John McCain, Elizabeth Dole and John Sununu co-sponsored.
Here are the exact words that John McCain said before Congress to try and help this bill pass.

"Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae's regulator reported that the company's quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were "illusions deliberately and systematically created" by the company's senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal.

The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae's former chief executive officer, OFHEO's report shows that over half of Mr. Raines' compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets. The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie Mac.

The OFHEO report also states that Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator's examination of the company's accounting problems. This report comes some weeks after Freddie Mac paid a record $3.8 million fine in a settlement with the Federal Election Commission and restated lobbying disclosure reports from 2004 to 2005. These are entities that have demonstrated over and over again that they are deeply in need of reform.

For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac--known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs--and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO's report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO's report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.

I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.

I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.


In the four years since he stepped down as Fannie Mae's chief executive under the shadow of a $6.3 billion accounting scandal, Franklin D. Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself. He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Case's D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health-care companies and more recently, taken calls from Barack Obama's presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters...When Daniel H. Mudd stepped in to succeed Raines after his ouster, Mudd promised a House committee that the days "of arrogant, defiant, 'my way' Fannie Mae" would end. Congress has recently moved forward on legislation that would create stronger federal oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."

This bill was not passed by the Democratically controlled Congress. Isn't that funny how the media does not talk about this very important bill that McCain attempted to pass 3 years ago. McCain basically predicted this mess, which is why he tried to pass a bill to help prevent what has transpired during these past two weeks. The reason the Democratic Congress denied the bill is because they have been pushing to make it easier for low income families to own homes. So they did not want to interrupt that.
Yet now the Obama Campaign wants to blame the Bush Administration for the entire thing and tell everyone that McCain is just like President Bush. All of this is complete lies.
The bottom line is that Obama is going to raise your taxes to no end which will take this country even further into debt and drive the economy even further into the ground.

Believe me I do not believe John McCain is perfect by no means but at least he understands that he can not solve all of our problems by raising taxes. I believe the Democrats hearts are in the right place but we have to do what makes sense.

Issues Of Experience

When the democrats bring up the issue of experience in regards to Gov. Palin being the Vice President, I just have to laugh because she is more experienced than Sen. Obama who is running for President. I love it though and hope they continue to talk about her experience because it will only help to highlight Sen. Obama's inexperience.
Enough of my opinions and lets get to the indisputable facts on this subject.
Ok, here it is, before Obama started his political career he was a community organizer in the south side of Chicago from 1985 to 1988. Afterwards he went to Harvard Law School where he became the first black President of The Harvard Law Review.
He began his political career as a State Senator from January 1997 until November 2004. Then he worked as United States Senator from January 4, 2005 until now. Although half of his time as a United States Senator has been spent campaigning for President. Now he is running for President. A Senator's job is to write and to vote on pieces of legislation. Now of course there is more to the job than that, but they are not in charge of or oversee any kind of budget. He did pass an important piece of legislation during his tenure as State Senator and that is a bill to reform ethics and the health care.
That is a quick overview.
Sarah Palin was the head of the PTA before beginning her political career. Sarah began her career by running for city council of Wasilla and then serving there from 1992 until 1995. Then in 1996 she ran and became the Mayor of that same town of Wasilla from 1996 until 2002. She then ran unsuccessfully for the Lieutenant Governor of Alaska. Then she was appointed to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission where she served as the Ethics Supervisor from 2003 until January 2004 in which she resigned because of corruption. Afterwards she took on the same corrupt powers in a bid for the Governor of Alaska and won. Sarah has been Governor from 2006 until now.
So by just a quick look at the facts, Gov. Palin has 16 years of political experience to Sen. Obama's 9 years. Palin has run budgets and Obama has not. Palin has been in charge of state employee's and Obama has not. Sarah has been the Commander and Chief of the Alaskan National Guard and Obama has not. The list goes on and on and on and on.
The funniest thing is Obama is not even running against Palin! He's running against McCain who has 100X Obama's experience!!!!

The Unfair Media Treatment

It does not take a genius to figure out that the mainstream media wants Barrack Obama to win this election. And Because of that most obvious bias I witness everyday in the mainstream media is why I have chosen to write this blog. I write this blog with no expectations of anyone even reading it, but it is a good way to get out my frustrations.
In the short time that Sarah Palin has been announced as McCains running mate, the media has attacked her in every way possible. The attack that I find to be the most humorous is the one about her experience. I don't even get mad anymore when hear that, I just smile and laugh. If you go online to investigate Gov. Sarah Palins record and then compare it to that of Sen. Barrack Obama's record, then you will understand why I smile and laugh at that attack.

The Truth About Obama's Tax Cuts & New Spending Plan

Every time I hear a Democrat say, " the Obama Campaign is going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans!", I almost fall out of my chair. They must think that Americans are uneducated, ignorant and have never been involved in this kind of election before. First of all, they are claiming to cut 95% of Americans income taxes, which is impossible mainly because 41% of Americans don't even pay income taxes, so how could you cut what they don't pay. What he is proposing, is to give 95% of the American people a $1000.00 rebate check. Not exactly a tax cut, is it? So basically if you are one of those 41% of Americans who doesn't pay income taxes, you will get a $1000.00 check and for the 54% of Americans who do pay taxes but fall below the top 5% will get the rebate check in the form of a $1000.00 credit towards taxes owed. That is called a give away, class warfare, or income redistribution. You can call it whatever you like but you can not call it a middle class tax cut.
What Obama does not tell you in his speeches is that he is going to raise lots of other taxes, which will have great effect on the middle class. Obama is going to raise social security taxes, which he has said publicly. He also says he will only raise taxes on small business that make $250,ooo or more a year, which almost all small businesses gross more than $250,000 per year. Obama plans on almost doubling the capital gains tax which would be extremely damaging on the economy. It would mean less capital flowing through the markets which we all know right now is the last thing we need. Also, who do you think creates most jobs in this country? The answer is that top 5% who Obama wants to tax like crazy. What do you think they will do? I'll tell you what they will do, they will cut jobs, cut spending, cut benefits and they will cut pensions. And that my friends will effect the middle class.
In all of Obama's speeches he tells us of all the new government programs he plans on creating when he takes office. Huge and very expensive programs. Trillions of dollars worth of new spending. So he proposes trillions of new spending plus he says he will wipe out our 11 trillion dollar deficit and cut taxes at the same time. It is hard for me to write this without laughing. Are we to actually to believe this guy.
It's common sense! Somehow Obama has to pay for all of his ambitious plans and he can not do that strictly by raising taxes on the 5% riches people in America. It is impossible. We are all going to pay higher taxes to pay for his new government spending, believe me.
