Economic Crisis

Not what I said my next post would be but a crisis is a crisis - and we are headed towards socialism in this country more than ever.


For starters, I love seeing people (i.e. Nancy Pelosi) blame "Bush's failed economic policies" for the current situation. While Bush has screwed up many many things, this one is not his fault. Shockingly it started with one of Jimmy Carter's failures* (worst. president. ever - How the hell did he win a Nobel Prize?). One more example of how the government meddling screws everything up. And as that video goes onto to show, it was then the Clinton Administration who exacerbated the problem. This is why I hear so many people claim how much more Dems care about the people and why Republicans hate poor people. Well now poor people can't afford homes because of the Dems and many have lost their house as well.

As that video also shows, Bush and McCain tried to go after Fannie and Freddie but guess who stopped them? The democrats, of course. Always looking out for the common man, clearly. We always hear about Bush making his "oil buddies" rich and getting rich off the "war for oil", yet we never hear about Obama getting rich off Fannie and Freddie or how he has made many of the people responsible for this mess rich. Yet another free pass for The Chosen One.



*should this video be taken down try going here.

Obama at it again...

I can't honestly believe that Barack Obama is going to be the next president of the United States. Lord, help us all. In a classic dirty political backtrack, Obama has rescinded his pledge to use public funding in the election. All of his messages about change and hope don't seem to apply to him. He seems to feel he sets the ground rules for this election; whether its with his wife, his past, or his 'feelings' toward the country about to elect him. I have my problems with McCain, but he has stayed true to his word so far and will apparently use the public funds. This of course puts him at a great disadvantage in terms of spending.

"We have to reject the candidates who use gutter politics to get elected, and we have to favor the ones who put principles over party and political games.

We the people still have the ultimate voice in this country, and we can change our course by empowering those who not only stand for the truth but will fight for it.

When politicians are forced to care about every voter, when they are constantly reminded that they serve at the will of the people, when we start to reconnect with our values, politicians will be forced to reconnect with us."

Liberal Media

Its been said that the media is more enamoured/in love with Barack Obama than they ever were with JFK. Yikes. He has been given a free pass on every questionable decision he has made and all his shady acquaintances/pastors/friends. I am not sure if the media has just fallen under his charismatic spell or they just hate George W. Bush so much, that the farthest option from him is the best choice no matter what the cost.

Unfortunately, that cost will be at our expense. Obama is going to tax the shit out of everyone. Working for a small business myself, and not making all that much money, this is not good news. There was positive to come out of yesterday, as the Ohio governor pulled his name from consideration and that may be the most important state in the election. When this election got started, I never thought I could be behind McCain passionately; Obama has pushed me into doing just that.
