Republicans Must Stop Vote Fraud or Lose

The following is a message from the Republican National Lawyers Association via NewsMax. I normally don't pass along paid advertising, but there's some good thoughts / info in here so I'm bending my own rules. I have taken out all but one plea for monetary assistance at the very end. If you're inclined to help, that's great -- it sounds like a great cause. I just didn't like the idea of sharing something that asked you for money, good info or not.

Dear Reader:

Last week Bill O'Reilly on Fox News exposed the fact that the New York Times killed a story about the relationship between ACORN and the Obama campaign conspired in the 2008 election. Other media outlets refuse to disclose how ACORN uses vote fraud to steal elections.
When a paper like the New York Times hides the truth, we live in worrisome times.
At stake is nothing more than our democratic freedoms and way of life.

As you may know, we at the Republican National Lawyers Association have been fighting for a fair election in Minnesota.

On election night, Republican Norm Coleman led by 725 votes. But after a "recount" and questionable activities by the state's liberal Secretary of State, Franken now leads.
We have been fighting and so far Al Franken has yet to be seated.

Franken's Outrage

But we were shocked last week when the three judge panel in Minnesota decided that it is okay to treat voters in different parts of Minnesota differently, instead of treating all voters equally. The judges have basically said that the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution does not apply in Minnesota.

And in New York, lawyers are already battling over absentee and military ballots in the special election to fill a vacant seat for Congress. RNLA Members are there right now, helping ensure the vote counting is as fair as possible.

The results show a dead heat, and absentee ballots are crucial. These ballots usually favor the Republicans but at the urging of the Democrat Candidate’s lawyer the counting of absentee ballots is going ahead before the deadline for receipt of absentee ballots from our military and overseas voters even occurs!

Once again, Democrats are trying to disenfranchise military voters because soldiers are perceived to favor Republicans.

This is why our work at the Republican National Lawyers Association is so critical.

Your help is also critical — please support our efforts.

We are the leading group in the Republican Party fighting to ensure that elections are honest and that voters, not lawyers or judges, decide the elections.

Already, we helped stop Harry Reid from seating Al Franken in the Senate as a Senator before the Minnesota Election Process is completed.

We fought for military voters and as a result of the ongoing pressure of groups like the RNLA, the New York Board of Elections initially extended the deadline for the return of military ballots so that the ballots have a chance to get back from places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Republicans will keep fighting until those votes are counted.

But these are just battles in a longer struggle.

ACORN's Dirty Tricks

Years ago the left realized if they can't win at the ballot box, they could work the process. George Soros backed liberals in various states who became Secretary of State — the chief state officer who usually controls the election process.

The Democrats in Congress worked hard to give liberal groups like ACORN billions — to "register" voters. There have been widespread charges, prosecutions, convictions and allegations of fraud against groups like ACORN.

We need to do what the left has done. We need to organize and prepare. The 2010 elections are fast approaching. We need to train lawyers who will protect your right to vote and have it count!
We also need to expose groups like ACORN — in both the courts and the media.

You can help us do that!

U.S. House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers [D-MI] was so alarmed by the Testimony of RNLA's First Vice President Heather Heidelbaugh about ACORN's activities that he called for a hearing on ACORN.

But other Democrats, led by Subcommittee Chair Jerrold Nadler [D-NY] objected saying there was "no credible evidence" against ACORN.

Even though Mel Watt [D-NC] stated in the same hearing: "I would even stipulate if I were in court that voter fraud does in fact take place. I might even stipulate that ACORN or some of its employees have participated in voter fraud."

But we have more evidence that will force the truth about ACORN out.

As revealed on O’Reilly, New York Times Reporter Stephanie Strom stated in a phone call to an ACORN informant: "I've been asked by my bosses to stand down" and stop reporting on ACORN. This reporter also detailed how the Obama campaign refused to talk about how they gave their donor list to ACORN. The reporter states: "the campaign insisted on speaking only on background. When I asked why, I got the barrage I described earlier. Cleary, I have hit a nerve."

But the liberal New York Times killed the story.

We Need to Prepare Now for the Next Election

We are not afraid to expose this fraud.

The RNLA is working hard to get the truth out.

Congressional Hearings, the press and legal proceedings to stop ACORN.

Whatever it takes, we will fight groups like ACORN.

Your help to us critical in our fight, please donate today.

But we must start early and now. Our urgent effort needs your help.

We believe our country's future depends on fair elections — not a sham process one finds in banana republics.

Help us stop the shady political operatives, left wing lawyers, ACORN, and liberal judges.

With your help we can do it.

Sincerely,
Michael Thielen
Executive Director RNLA

P.S. Congress earmarked billions in Obama's stimulus for ACORN. This is why we need your help, and why we need to keep fighting to stop election fraud. Whatever happens in Minnesota or New York, we know many future battles lie ahead. We need to prepare today for tomorrow. Please help us in this vital effort — Go Here Now.

If you're not fighting, YOU are part of the problem

Obama’s Take out The Trash Day Networks help new administration side-step abortion controversy.

by Colleen Raezler, Culture and Media Institute

Former President George W. Bush reinstated a policy in 2001 that restricted foreign countries using American dollars for abortions. CBS political consultant Craig Crawford called the action “red meat to the Bible Belt conservatives.”

Just three days after taking office, President Barack Obama rescinded the Mexico City Policy, a policy set into place by Ronald Reagan that prohibited American funding for foreign abortions. Have the media called it red meat for liberals? No. They’ve mostly been silent.

Signing on the Sneak

Obama signed the executive order late on Jan. 23, the day after the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It was also Friday, a moment that TIME magazine’s Amy Sullivan called, “a time traditionally reserved for the release of information an administration would like to bury.” During the Clinton administration, Friday afternoon was the time for “document dumps,” when the scandal-ridden White House released embarrassing pieces of its paper trail.

Even Hollywood recognizes the timing for what it is – a calculated strategy to avoid tough press. Characters in the liberal political drama “The West Wing” refer to such days as “take out the trash day.” “The West Wing,” by the way, is a show whose ultimate fantasy -- a young, Democratic congressman from nowhere becoming president --fulfilled in Obama’s election.

Sullivan reported that Obama “wants to turn down the heat on an issue that has defined and divided American politics for more than three decades” and based on the media coverage of his decision, it seems to have worked.

CBS and NBC barely mentioned the change in policy during the Jan. 23, 2009 Evening News and Nightly News broadcasts. On the Saturday “Early Show,” CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier noted during a wrap-up of the president’s first few days in office that “Mr. Obama also quietly stepped into the abortion debate” with his executive order that overturned the ban on funding for foreign abortions.

Only ABC acknowledged the controversial nature of Obama’s decision, two days after the fact during World News Sunday. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi noted that the president hoped “not to provoke anti-abortion groups” with the order, and that “it didn’t work.” Alfonsi also featured Tony Perkins, president of the pro-life Family Research Council, who said that Obama “does not have consensus and support from, from the majority of Americans” on social issues.

No networks reported the fact that in a 55-page “wish list” sent to the Obama-Biden transition team by abortion rights groups, reinstating American funding for foreign abortions topped the list with regard to international matters.

Bush “Pleased” the Right

What a difference from eight years ago. Then, Crawford wasn’t the only person accusing Bush of playing politics.

Dan Rather, “CBS Evening News” anchor, introduced a Jan. 22, 2001 report on Bush’s reinstatement of the policy by calling it “something to quickly please the right flank in his party.” John Roberts, chief White House correspondent at CBS, noted “the president waded into controversy on this first day” and “in a nod to anti-abortion groups…announced he’ll cut federal funding to organizations that provide family planning and abortion counseling overseas.”

Roberts’ report also featured criticism by Gloria Feldt, then-president of Planned Parenthood, “The fundamental human and civil right to make our own child-bearing choices is at greater threat than it has been anytime in the 28 years since Roe vs. Wade was decided.” Feldt’s comment re-aired during CBS’ Jan. 23, 2001” The Early Show.” CBS failed to provide a pro-life counterpoint to Feldt.

ABC White House correspondent Terry Moran said Bush’s decision was “designed to appeal to anti-abortion conservatives” on the Jan. 22, 2001 “World News Tonight.”

Newsweek’s Howard Fineman told NBC’s Matt Lauer during the Jan. 23, 2001 “Today” that with the executive order stopping the flow of American money to foreign abortion providers, “George W. Bush following a plan. Secure the base. The Christian right is fundamental to the Republican Party and to his presidency.”

Later in the same broadcast, anchor Ann Curry ignored the pro-life support Bush enjoyed as a result of his executive order. She reported, “Abortion rights supporters are condemning the president’s order Monday, restoring a Reagan-era ban on U.S. funding of overseas family planning groups that advocate abortion.”

Explain and Inform

One thing remained constant in the network coverage from then until Obama’s overturning of the Mexico City Policy: no explanation of the policy aside from as ABC’s Chris Cuomo noted on the Jan. 23, 2009 Good Morning America, “the policy was put in place by Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton overturned, but it was reinstituted by George W. Bush.”

But the same day, Family Research Council’s Tom McClusky succinctly explained the policy and what it means now that Obama has rescinded it:

In as little words as possible, the Mexico City policy halts U.S. family planning funds from going to foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that perform abortions or "actively promote" abortion as a method of family planning in other countries… The effect of President Obama rescinding the Mexico City Policy is that now millions ($461 million in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008) of dollars are taken away from family planning groups that do not promote abortion, and delivered into the hands of organizations that are the most militant in promoting abortion as a population-control method - especially in countries that find abortion objectionable on moral grounds.

ABC may not have covered the story immediately or explained the policy, but the network did recognize that allowing organizations to spend American dollars on abortion is not accepted by all. CBS and NBC failed the American public by not explaining what the policy does and also by not holding Obama to the same scrutiny they held Bush to back in 2001.

Been a while!

Sorry I haven't been writing much this past month, I've been extremely, extremely busy at work and in my personal life. I'm still supporting Sarah 5000%. I'm reading and watching the news and can't believe they're still attacking her! Give it up already. It's hard to change a liberal's mind once they've been brainwashed. Facts just don't get in the way once their leaders have spread the word.

Remember that movie "The Time Machine"? Like lemmings the libs play until the siren sounds, then they trek to their destruction. It is SO frustrating at times when I see the obvious twisting of information and hear the bots mouthing the mantra without ever being able to back up things up with facts.

When I ask "how do you know this or that" the answer is something along the lines of "everyone knows it's true". Everyone doesn't include yours truly!

I'm back and I'm blogging to support Sarah. Hope you all have the best new year you can with you-know-who at the helm trying to ruin our democracy.

Obama Not Connected, But ALL His Friends Are...

by Mac Johnson
The FBI arrested yet another corrupt Chicago politician , Illinois Governor "Hot" Rod Blagojevich. This makes two corrupt governors in a row to be arrested for felonies committed in office -- and it solidifies Chicago, Ill. as the most corrupt city in America, narrowly edging out New Orleans. Also arrested was corrupt Chicago politician and Blagojevich Chief of Staff John Harris. The two are accused of attempting to "auction off" Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat to the highest bidder from the corrupt Chicago political scene. An unknown number of other corrupt Chicago politicians and staffers are also under investigation.

Wow! It's a good thing America didn't just elect a longtime Chicago politician to be the next President of the United States.

Oh...wait, that's just what we did. That's why Obama's Senate seat was vacant and available to be auctioned off to some lucky cash-and-carry Democrat contender. Oh well, I'm sure that The Sacred Dalai Obama is not connected to this scandal or Blagojevich in any other way. Very reassuring was Obama's claim Tuesday that "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not, aware of what was happening."

The only problem is that one of Obama's senior advisors, David Axelrod (a former advisor to Blagojevic) went on Chicago TV on November 23 and said definitively regarding Obama's communications with Blagojevich on whom might acquire Obama's Senate seat: "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them..."

Team Sarah Commercial for Sarah Palin -- Wink! Wink!

I love Sarah's wink. She has charisma, personality, enthusiasm, principles, values, backbone, strength... I could go on and on about here attributes. McCain picked THE perfect running mate and you know how I know for sure he did that? Because the media has made it their mission to tear her down! If she were the cream puff they make her out to be they wouldn't be bothering, they'd let her lose it on her own. But no, she's a smart cookie and they have to pull out all their arsenal of crap to try and change her image. Ha.

Poll fluctuations

I don't have a clue why anyone would believe any poll. Have you seen the fluctuation these past few days and at other times, too? One day there's an 11 point spread, the next two. Who are they polling? The village idiots? They can't be polling the same people each day when they call their 200 or 5000 person sampling can they?

I think there's some tom-foolery going on out there. It's an underground movement to discredit the polls.

I remember when they used to have those boxes on top of the television to do the TV ratings. We had one for a while and we used to have fun turning on programs we weren't watching, sitting in front of the television for programs we hated and doing other things we thought would mess it up. Yes, we were silly.

It's human nature to play games, and to try and be something we're not. It's cool in some circles to say you'll vote or to say you'll vote for Obama. When your spouse, who thinks you're going to vote one way, is sitting on the couch while you're polled, how are you going to answer?

If the people who are out there being polled are really swinging from one party to the other that wildly, we need to change our voting requirements because we have idiots electing those who run our country.

Here's what I really think is going on:

There are close to 200 polls being done (I think the actual number being reported on is 177) as apposed to about 1/4 to 1/3 of that number in past elections.

It's harder to reach people.

People are giving up land lines and going to cell phones only, which I understand costs more to call and poll. Plus I'd imagine it's harder to find the numbers.

Some of the respected pollsters have changed their methodology. They've been wrong so many times they're trying to find their way to accuracy and as you see by polls that continue to fluctuate like the tides, they're not there yet.

There are a lot of people who've never voted before who have signed up and thus are considered to be "likely voters". A lot of them are new, easily led, unsure of the process, don't value the importance of their vote, and some flat out like to tweak pollsters.

I'm feeling a ground swell for John McCain and Sarah Palin. I think Joe the Plumber, spread the wealth, Ayers, Wright and all the other associations are eroding the support for Obama among the moderates and independents. I think they're seeing things like the wild attacks on anyone who crosses Obama's path and seeing a glimpse of the future. I don't know if it's too little too late, but I have hope that we're going to see the true comeback kid pull this one out on November 4th.

I pray that the intelligent voters come out and all the village idiots stay home through November 4th. The dummies can vote on Nov. 5th.

Go Sarah!

Sarah is getting ready to get off the plane in Bangor, Maine. There is a huge crowd waiting to see her and hear her speak.

Mainstream media has their heads up their you-know-whats when it comes to this superb lady. Liberals only love liberals!

I only wish John McCain had been able to unveil Sarah earlier! I understand that it wasn't possible and that part of her charm is the surprise of having her, but she has brought such energy to McCain's campaign.

The media and Democrats got off on the wrong foot when they came out in such meanness against her. They've revised their strategy and it is having an affect on the easily led, however you can see by the crowds she's attracting that it ain't workin' near good 'nuff. She has armour that makes Barack Obama's look like aluminum foil.

Not that Obama ever has to worry about the media going after him a fraction as bad as they have against Sarah Palin. Obama can't even handle tough questions posed by Fox News. Fair questions that should be asked by all of the media if they weren't so in love with the idea of Obama. Wait until he turns on them if he's elected. By the time they realize what he is and what he's doing their voice will be nothing but his.

Love Sarah Palin! She is so REAL. I'd have her over for dinner in a heart beat.

Just another day in Obamaland. Odinga, ODM.

Send this to your local newspapers!!! Send it to your friends!!!

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

It was W.A.M. cofounder who did the original in-depth investigation of Obama's connection to Odinga's ODM party, campaign tactics and the broader terrorism movement they both represent. This was done with some degree of anonymity due to security concerns. Now, months later the truth of that research piece is now reaching mainstream America - but only those who happen to watch Fox news. Yesterday's piece in the Washington Times, by a well-known journalist draws from that original report. It is vital that this information now spread throughout the mainstream press- because it, ultimately exposes the true nature and connections and plans of the Obama campaign!

Go to the following links for one of many reprints of that original 3 Part Expose: "Obama the ODM Candidate for President." Be aware many video and document-verifying links in the full Article may no longer be available - because the Obama campaign has continued their ongoing Constitutional violations of scrubbing the Internet of public information on these facts. Even so, you will still get a clear picture of the overall, previously hidden facts. The American voting public needs to Wake Up and fast- to what Obama has planned if he succeeds - or if he doesn't success, through his disinformation campaign, in taking the White House.

HYMAN: Obama's Kenya ghosts
Mark Hyman
COMMENTARY:

About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.

The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.

By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.

The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.

Mr. Odinga had the backing of Kenya's Muslim community heading into the election. For months he denied any ties to Muslim leaders, but fell silent when Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, appeared on Kenya television displaying a memorandum of understanding signed on Aug. 29, 2007, by Mr. Odinga and the Muslim leader. Mr. Odinga then denied his denials.

The details of the MOU were shocking. In return for Muslim backing, Mr. Odinga promised to impose a number of measures favored by Muslims if he were elected president. Among these were recognition of "Islam as the only true religion," Islamic leaders would have an "oversight role to monitor activities of ALL other religions [emphasis in original]," installation of Shariah courts in every jurisdiction, a ban on Christian preaching, replacement of the police commissioner who "allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists," adoption of a women's dress code, and bans on alcohol and pork.

This was not Mr. Odinga's first brush with notoriety. Like his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the main opposition leader in the 1960s and 1970s, Raila Odinga is a Marxist He graduated from East Germany's Magdeburg University in 1970 on a scholarship provided by the East German government. He named his oldest son after Fidel Castro.

Raila Odinga was implicated in the bloody coup attempt in 1982 against then-President Daniel Arap Moi, a close ally of the United States. Kenya has been one of the most stable democracies in Africa since the 1960s. The ethnic cleansing earlier this year was the worst violence in Kenya since that 1982 coup attempt.

Mr. Odinga spent eight years in prison. At the time, he denied guilt but later detailed he was a coup leader in his 2006 biography. Statue of limitations precluded further prosecution when the biography appeared.

Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.
"Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared. The intent of Mr. Obama's remarks and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Mr. Odinga.

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama had met several times before the 2006 trip. Reports indicate Mr. Odinga visited Mr. Obama during trips to the U.S. in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Mr. Obama sent his foreign policy adviser Mark Lippert to Kenya in early 2006 to coordinate his summer visit. Mr. Obama's August trip coincided with strategizing by Orange Democratic Movement leaders to defeat Mr. Kibaki in the upcoming elections. Mr. Odinga represented the ODM ticket in the presidential race.

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama's father were both from the Luo community, the second-largest tribe in Kenya, but their ties run much deeper. Mr. Odinga told a stunned BBC Radio interviewer the reason why he and Mr. Obama were staying in near daily telephone contact was because they were cousins. In a Jan. 8, 2008, interview, Mr. Odinga said Mr. Obama had called him twice the day before while campaigning in the New Hampshire primary before adding, "Barack Obama's father is my maternal uncle."

President Kibaki requested a meeting of all opposition leaders in early January in an effort to quell the violence. All agreed to attend except Mr. Odinga. A month later, Mr. Kibaki offered Mr. Odinga the role of prime minister, the de facto No. 2 in the Kenyan government, in return for an end to the attacks. Mr. Odinga was sworn in on April 17, 2008.

Mr. Obama's judgment is seriously called into question when he backs an official with troubling ties to Muslim extremists and whose supporters practice ethnic cleansing and genocide. It was Islamic extremists in Kenya who bombed the U.S. Embassy in 1998, killing more than 200 and injuring thousands. None of this has dissuaded Mr. Obama from maintaining disturbing loyalties.

CNN Says Obama's Relationship with Bill Ayers is "Much Deeper" than Obama said!!! CNN!!!

"But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said." -- CNN's Drew Griffin

I can't believe CNN is actually reporting this...

Send Sarah to Michigan!!!

We need to start a movement to get Sarah and Todd to Michigan! Can you imagine the impact it would have if the McCain camp decided in the next week or so to use Sarah to move Michigan into the red column?

I understand marshaling your resources and a strategy to hold and conquer those with highest chances, but I hate to concede Michigan (not that they are, but it seems that way now that they've made such a big deal out of it).

Barack Obama pulled out of a number of states (5 I think) quietly and it made few headlines. John McCain openly announces he's pulled out of one state and you'd think the world had come to an end.

However, if handled right, sending Sarah to Michigan and having huge rallies up there would make a world of difference to Michigan voters. It would be a shot in the arm.

I've been in states and counties where candidates made strategic decisions to move their resources elsewhere. It hurts moral and makes it that much harder to get the enthusiasm needed to win.

We need to support Michigan and we need to start a movement to get Sarah and Todd to hold a few rallies there before November 4th! I know it will be tough because they are going to be going everywhere and will be stretched thin, but I think it's worth the effort if the campaign can make it happen!

Ohio and Florida

The Democrat Obamanitties are making a huge push in both states (among others). In Ohio they are using a law that allows absentee voters to register at the time they vote and they're going after college students. In Florida Bill Clinton is holding rallies and the Dem operatives are pushing to get everyone they can registered by October 6th (deadline).

Whatever state you're in, check to see what the voter registration rules are and if you have time before the deadline passes (if it hasn't already) get out there and register your kids friends, your neighbors and your church members. Get your friends to do the same!

I remember when I was college age and how easy it was to be swept up in the dynamics of whatever was considered cool. I thought I knew it all or at least I didn't exactly listen to anything outside my perceived cool range . You're spoon fed crap at that age and swallow it whole thinking you're changing the world for the better. A lot of these kids who are being swept into the Obama camp, smart as they are in some ways, are going to someday look back and realize they made a huge error in judgement. Hopefully they won't be looking back and regretting it because they made a difference and took the country to ruin by putting Obama in the White House.

I don't mean to sound like chicken-little, but with the country on the verge of nationalizing our financial markets giving power to Obama is about the worst thing I can imagine. We may as well tear up the Constitution if he gets elected.

On last night's debate

I was impressed with John McCain last night. He definitely held his own against Mr. So-Called-Smooth-Talking Barack Obama. Why anyone thinks Obama is a good speaker is beyond me! All those hesitations and "let me be clear's" distract the heck out of me. But then again, he really never seems to say anything of substance so I guess it doesn't matter that much.

All the pundits said Obama was going to come out swinging and try to make John McCain look bad. I think it backfired on Obama because he sure did look put off a number of times. He also never got the best of McCain!

Great debate and I'm glad Kissinger came out and said Obama was wrong when he tried to say he (Kissinger) had supported Obama's assertion that we should talk with terrorist nations without pre-conditions.

Did Obama get the date of the Depression wrong in the first part of the debate? I could have sworn he was off by ten years, but I haven't had a chance to go back and view it again. I guess if he did have the dates wrong that someone would have called him on it by now. No biggie if he did I guess, anyone can make a mistake like that.

Here's one funny I heard Thursday or Friday: Cynthia McKinney, the Green Party candidate for President, said she'd debate Barack Obama if John McCain didn't attend! I would love to have seen that one, wouldn't you? I think there would have been a shouting match before it was all over. But I'm sure Obama would have backed out if that's the way it went down. I liked the idea some floated of having Sarah Palin stand in for Senator McCain if he couldn't do it!

Team Sarah, Red State Feminists, Joe Biden and David Letterman

Team Sarah (.com) is a great new website and an easy way to meet other supporters of Sarah. I've been over looking around but haven't joined yet. I will.

There are some excellent sites cropping up in support of Sarah Palin all over the net. One of the new members on our network is the Red State Feminists (.org).

What are we all going to do after Sarah and John McCain win on November 4th? I think Sarah will need our support more than ever in the coming years. If we think the media is full of nasty now, wait until she's in office. There will be more bad jokes and stabs than ever I believe.

I am excited about her debate with Joe Bidenism. They are probably working so hard to try and keep him from adding to the list of Bidenisms that it will be impossible for him not to make another!

Did anyone see David Letterman Thursday night? Talk about being hot under the collar! I can't exactly blame him for being mad, but he did get a bit carried away. If I had invited someone to my show (or house) and they cancelled and told me they had to hop a plane, then I saw them talking to another show host (or at a friends party), I would be angry. I don't know why it was handled like that but I would imagine something changed at the last minute. Talking serious matters to a newscaster is a lot different than cracking jokes during a financial crisis, but a phone call to let Letterman know things had changed would have been a nice gesture.

I haven't read McCain's side of things, but having Letterman as an enemy is not good. Then again, when Letterman likes you it can be pretty darned uncomfortable, too. I've never cared for Letterman's politics or some of his humor, but he is someone who has a lot of followers who can be influenced by his comments.

2008 Ballot Measure Update
September 23, 2008, Jennie Drage Bowser
Ballots are starting to shape up around the country. To date, a total of 155 questions have qualified for statewide ballots. 62 of these are citizen initiatives -- most of the rest were referred to the ballot by state legislatures or, in the case of Florida, the state's Taxation and Budget Reform Commission. Three are questions automatically referred by state constitutions, asking voters if they want to hold a constitutional convention.
The total number of ballot questions this year will stay around 150, with at most 63 initiatives. In 2006, the number of initiatives totaled 76, the second-highest total ever (the highest total was 87, which occurred in both 1914 and 1996).

On a roll tonight! Savage Savages Caller...

I'm not a big fan of Michael Savage. He's just a bit too, too, in your face for my tastes. This video is definitely in the "in your face" category but it so shows how ignorant and pied-piper blind some people are in their worship of Barack Obama. Logic out the door. Common sense follows.

McCain ad Jim Johnson

Democrats, do your patriotic duty. Send a check to the government.

I think Joe Biden has hit on something.

Since this is such a great patriotic thing to do, then all the Democrats who support Obama should just go ahead, line up, cut checks to the government and hand them over.

Why wait until Obama is elected (please no!) to do your patriotic duty? Patriotism has nothing to do with your Party. If you love your country you should not want to wait for Obama to take office! Show your support for Obama by sending your donations to the government rather than to Obama. Go ahead and figure out what your new tax rate will cost you and send it now.

If you don't want to send your money to the government then just find some folks you want to support and start sending them a monthly check. If enough people chose to follow Joe Biden's patriotic lead then we could do away with Welfare, homelessness and all that ails our country.

Oh wait, did I hear that Joe Biden gives next to nothing to charity? Does Joe Biden send money to the government or does he take it from the government?

I watched Joe Biden when he tried to make paying taxes a patriotic duty. Giving more money to politicians to spend on bridges to nowhere is patriotic? Give me a break. Although I'm not in the tax bracket he was referring to I'm intelligent enough to know that if my boss takes a tax hit then my next raise is toast and maybe my benefits will get cut or something similar. No one voluntarily hands over money to the government.

There is nothing patriotic about giving hard earned money to the government. If they would cut their spending we could cut taxes!



I accidentally spelled patriotic "partiotic". Ya know what Google's spell check picks for first choice substitution? Pathetic. Do you think someone on the Blogger / Google staff is trying to send a message? How does one transposed letter trigger the word pathetic? Not close enough guys.

This is so horrible! We can not elect Barack Obama

How can any caring human being do this to another? How can any human being support this? I think everyone who supports this should be forced to hold a child as it dies. If they then support something this cruel, they are not human. If you don't want to take a chance on getting pregnant then there are a lot of things you can do to ensure that doesn't happen. Barack Obama does not deserve anyone's vote.

Sarah Palin with Sean Hannity and Town Hall Meeting

They just did a little bit with Sarah on Fox at a Town Hall meeting with John McCain, from Michigan. In about twenty minutes she's going to be on Fox News with Sean Hannity which should be pretty good. I've seen some promos already and she looks a lot more comfortable.

What do you think about the email hackers getting into her Yahoo account? What a bunch of yahoos.

One thing I heard on some show this evening is that Obama is coming up a little in the polls because of the financial crisis.

I just updated the sidebar with all the new blog members! The Read My Lipstick Network is a-growin' and I for one am thrilled.
