I am still trying to figure it out. Broken down to the most basic levels the Presidential race is a straight forward competition. One side against the other with winner take all for at least four years. Sure it is for the Presidency of the United States, but in the end it is a popularity contest. A big deciding factor for the voting public is who each candidate’s Vice President pick is. That being said I keep coming back to the same question about Sarah Palin. Was she the best republican candidate available.
Forget for one minute any of her views on anything and ask yourself this one simple question. Was she the SINGLE one person who would be the biggest help to John McCain’s chances to win the competition? Was there was not one other person who would have given him a better chance to win then an obscure and relatively unknown brand new politician from Alaska? Read the rest
1) I am not religious at all. I don’t believe in god or any supreme being having anything to do with our lives. At the same time I don’t care if others are religious and believe in whatever they believe in. But that being said I feel strongly that religion should not play a part in politics, yet it always does. 2) I am for the right of people to own guns. I think everyone should be able to own a gun if they want to. But at the same time I also think that there should be some restrictions on automatic assault weapons getting into the hands of gangs, inexperienced gun owners, etc. I think they should be a mandatory training class you have to take when buying a gun, just like getting your drivers license. So where is the middle ground and how is it justified? 3) I am for gay marriage. Who cares if they are married! Regardless of if marriage either IS or IS NOT a religious union, you still HAVE TO be registered with the city/state/government. So since that is the current case, then let them get married and get taxed like the rest of us. Who cares I say. It does not directly effect me so I don’t care. 4) I am PRO CHOICE and think a woman should Read the rest
Who else saw the rock concert in Denver last night? You know the one with over 80,000 screaming fans in a football stadium cheering, dancing, singing, and screaming until they lost their voices. Stevie Wonder and Micheal McDonald performed and electrified the crowd. And oh yea … Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech to officially be the candidate for the Democrat party.
There was lots of news and media coverage and for a week it was all Democrats all the time. It was interesting to see but I wonder how many people watched, but didn’t actually listen. I wonder how many tuned in to see the popping camera flashes, the famous musicians sing, X-President Bubba Clinton with Read the rest
Madonna has done it again. She has somehow made herself newsworthy. In the past she has resorted to nudity, sex, lesbianism, poor acting, more nudity, more sex, kissing Britney, marrying many men and now….HITLER. Should we be applauding her for her for being one of the most successful media whores in history or be embarrassed that this time she has reached a new low, if that was even possible.
Madonna, who kicked off her “Sticky and Sweet” world tour at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff yesterday, made the ,swipe during a performance of Get Stupid, when Mr McCain’s image was flashed up alongside images of the Führer and Zimbabwean dictator, as well as destruction and global warming. In a none-too-subtle contrast, Barack Obama was bracketed in a subsequent sequence alongside Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon and Al Gore. Read the rest
BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!
JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure — right from Day One! — that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn’t about me……. Read the rest
What would any major party do in an election year and with the sudden absence of its leading candidate? We almost found out last month.
Just 41 seconds after discovering he no longer had full control of the plane’s up and down movements, the pilot told an FAA air traffic controller “at this time we would like to declare an emergency and also have CFR [crash equipment] standing by in St. Louis.”
An FAA spokesperson acknowledged today that its statements at the time of “no emergency” were wrong…
Some scary scary news tonight from ABS about just how serious the problems were on Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign plane last month. Read the rest
All of a sudden it seems all I hear about it Tim Pawlenty. People are talking about him. Some are even excited about him. Is he the savior of the Republican party? Can he be the running mate that McCain needs to help him combat Obama’s movie star coverage and national recognition?
I seem to see him on almost every channel and every time I turn on my TV. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night, turned on the CNN Headline News channel and there he was on Glenn Beck’s show. How is it that I just did not know that much about the suddenly popular Governor of Minnesota? If this guy is going to be McCain’s VP running mate I better know more about him. So off to do research I went.
Let’s start with the basics. You can see a nice summary about him on the Minnesota state website HERE. I was especially impressed by the following: Read the rest
Why are we even debating this? Why is this even news? I don’t care if death row inmate Richard Cooey is 100 pounds or 1000. He RAPED and MURDERED 2 women.
His argument is that Topamax, a drug he is taking for migraine headaches could affect the execution process. The drug is a type of seizure medication which MAY have created a resistance to thiopental, the drug used to put inmates to sleep before two other lethal drugs are administered. Let’s take a step backwards for a minute. WHY EXACTLY is he even getting the Topamax. He is a convicted killer and we (the public who is paying for his incarceration) are paying for medicine to make his stay in jail more comfortable?? What in the world is going on? Next question. This guy is 5 foot 7 and 267 pounds. How did he get so fat? What is he being fed in jail? A buffet? Read the rest
The internet is already buzzing. News stories are talking about it all over. Is this one of those speeches that is remembered for all time?
I have no idea, but this happened yesterday in Berlin Germany and I have already had it emailed to me 6 times in different mass emails. so people seem to be talking about it. Read the rest
Who else is baffled by the endless news stories about one weather disaster after another. It seems every single story day after day is about forest fires, floods, blizzards, drought, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunami, and on and on and on. What is going on? Has hell literally descended upon the Earth?
Each day I receive a variety of news story feeds in my Google browser homepage. Lately almost every link is to a weather related story. It seems that each story is worse then the next one. Here is a sampling of the ones I received today. Read the rest
