I just heard on Fox news that the Obama camp is trying to tie McCain with Khalidi also.??????????

John McCain was right Obama is the Celeberity Candidate, now we will find out next Tuesday, if the American Idol Approach to campaigning works.

How would you brainwash the masses, with Hope and Change message, turns out it isn't a new strategy.

Craig Crawford on Imus in the Morning this Morning.

I love what Craig Crawford said, this morning about Oprah Winfrey
picking our President. I have been making that comment for the last
couple of days on Malkin's blog..I hope your happy Oprah..she is trying
to give the country a make over. Kinky Friedman, was right the same folks who
read People Magazine watch Oprah Winfrey they will decide the Election. bUT when she wouldn't give Gov
Sarah Palin equal time, there was a boycott of Oprah started, some of
those housewives are not to happy with Ms Oprah, and her fondness for
Beta Males.

A friend of mine and former county commissioner really got the Dems panties in a wad at one polling place here in Craven County, NC yesterday. (Story) He took a coffin and set it up where the people politic outside the polls. On the coffin he wrote Joe the Plumber, Taxed to Death. The Dems called the sheriff department, our sheriff is a Dem, and the Board of Elections.  All told them there was nothing they could do. He was allowed to be in that area just like the rest of them. I love it.

You may have heard on Greta that bus loads of the mentally challenged were bused from the Caswell Center in Kinston, NC to the polls to vote. That story is not true. But this one is. It was in today’s Kinston Free Press.

Another Democrat caught taking bribes. At least the party was identified in the second paragraph.

[ Its a good thing she did not share bribes with "Cold Cash" Jefferson. ]

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

Rush Limbaugh has been saying all along that if Obama wasn't up by double digits on election eve that he would be toast.  The panic mode has already started on the "looney left".  I have read the cossacks from the DailyKos are already in a schizophrenic melt down.  Appears that Americans are much smarter than the academia and media think they are.  If you live in or near a left leaning city you may want to stock up on ammunition.  I suspect that if Obama loses there will be rioting and looting by some of Obama's welfare base.  You may have to exercise your second amendment rights to defend yourself and property.  All these signs of panic are good for those of us who still value our freedoms and constitution as it is written.  God bless America!    

Thomas Jefferson~ "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not!"

A shift in national sentiment doesn't mean much unless the battleground states have tightened. All Obama has to do is win OH and PA by even the smallest margin.

I am still not optimistic. 

Change is what you're left with when you've spent all your dollars.

Notice how 90% of blacks voting for B. Hussein is not racist, but a handful of white democrats switching to McCain IS racist?

Notice how pillarying Hillary was sexist, but pulverizing Palin is perfectly fine?

Notice notice how the Dems constantly bash the GOP on tax cuts and now the Dems are running on tax cuts?

Just a few points to ponder....

Bradley effect - 3-5%

MSM bias - up to 5%

Solid blue states (15%) are safe for Obama. Obama leaning states fall to McCain. That puts McCain up 279-259 Actually battleground states are NH, PA, MN, WI, IA as they are most vulnerable.

In the popular vote, 120 million likely voters. BO comes in second 52%-48%.

Another variable - if Osama bin Laden endorses Obama, it could be a 400 electoral for McCain and 10 million popular vote spread.

I will be blogging on this later in the week. 6 days and we'll see how close (or far) I was!

     At this point so close to the final seconds on the clock, I am still ammazed at all the steering of the news by the MSM. I have the feeling sometimes, I am old fashinoned in my thinking and the world passed me by, leaving me all alone out here. How many other people are left feeling that way? Growing up during WWII, and the Korean War, and joing the Military for 4 years not long after Korea, I see the values our country was formed on, being completely turned around, and aided in a large part by the so called Free Press (MSM). I can't even imagine a situation like"Joe the plumber" coming out in the past, where an average Joe, is smeared by the press, for asking an innocent question to a Presidential candidate in his neighborhood. Fortunately, we can come on a site like this, and tell the truth as we see it, and vent our true feelings!

Why not take a page from the DNC play book and make outrageous claims about what the LA tape contains. Would this not cause them to try to correct the bogus claims?

WE NEED DIVIDED GOVERNMENT MORE THAN EVER

I sometimes wonder where and how they do the polls. Personally I do not know anyone who has been asked any poll question and all of them agree with me we would lie about what we would do just to mess with them. I always envision  the reporters yelling across their desk to others in the news room I am doing a poll who would not vote for obama? And calling that a unbiased poll.

Or other news I have not seen anything here about where they have found the people who violated Joe the plumbers privacy and looked into his records. I do not expect to see it in the fan papers.. err excuse me the newspapers but thought it would be on here by now.

The MSM: The 21st Century version of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

For some reason I think that one of the largest hoaxes in the history of the world has been perpertrated on the American public....so I'm going Lone-Ranger on this one and say McCain will easily and hands-down win this election. I base this on all the blogs, reader's comments, straw polls, election experience, gut feeling and total distrust of MSM and their polls. 

It looks like the "vetting" of Joe the Plumber wasn't so innocent after all. Government employees in Ohio are being charged with unethical snooping into his personal business. Will Obama denounce this and ask his minions to stop using information obtained illegally? Don't count on it.

Guess the lib spin:

A) Joe the Plumber had it coming.

B) The PD is going on a witch hunt to embarrass Dems.

C) Bush sucks so I don't care.

• Obama:  Fairness             -->  Punish success
• Obama:  Hope                 -->  Ignore facts
• Obama:  Birth Certificate  -->  Certificate of Live Birth
• Obama:  Acquaintance     -->  Terrorist 

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

God always has a wonderful sense of humor. For example messiah Obama
was giving one of his Marxist campaign speeches when lightning struck.

Mere mortals would have at that point of warning got on their knees and
started a confessional beginning with bisexual adulterous acts, but
apparently Obama has ascertained he can fool God as he has now decided
to wear bluejeans.
I figure the Chicago bisexual presumes at mile high altitude God might not be able to pick him out in the crowds of bluejean bustin' democrits Obama'r has been azosiating wit in Murtha's redneck racist Pennsylvania.

I did notice that Barack also has on tennis shoes now. Apparently the
warning from God did spark in a little bit as he is ready to run for
his life.

All of this is an irony of amusing as the BATF made a
big deal about two hair heads talking about a fictional video game tale
of going after Obama wearing tuxedos. I wonder if theBATF is now doing surveillance on God as God set forth the big spark on Obama the other day.
Perhaps I suppose those Ohio Democrats who were invading Joe the Plummer's privacy like Big Brother will be doing a background check on God too to see if God is up to date on his child support payments.

It is a glorious day though in the USA. The LA Times is suppressing news in Islamocommunist Obama toasting a Philistine terrorist.

Then there are the Florida people and for that matter Americans nationwide
buying guns up for the Obama invasion if God forbid it happens.
Americans are very scared of this Obama and know very well what this
character will unleash on this United States as he seeks revenge on
America.

Of course, vocal Joe Biden has had a big hanky stuffed
in his mouth as two reporters actually asking questions so flustered
Joe he went nuts like he does and the question still remains is Obama a
Marxist, a communist or aTrotskyite.
A Marxist kills you kindly. A communist kills you bluntly and the Trotskyite just fries you with a Molotov cocktail.

Biden though has redefined "rich to tax" from 250,000 dollars down to 150,000
dollars. Breaking their promises already and it is not even retroactive
Clinton doing it. Next thing you know rich people will be those who
found 2 cents on the floor.
Not admitting to that one as I don't need the IRS auditing me over copper finds for Obama.

But Obama keeps chugging along, now he will delay the World Series to tell
the world a new sermon from the Obama. Who does he think he is God?

That though is the state of America this day, the Washington Post has now
proclaimed Obama has illegal overseas contributions which of course
will get him impeached along with the other fraudfrau Obama is up to.

Who knows the day might come very soon that Obama would have hoped that
lightning from God wasn't a warning and actually had hit him.

Oh a few more things. I see Daniel Pipes and Joseph Farah have plagiarized my blog concerning Obama having his mansion helped purchased by Saddam Hussein's bagman, Nadhmi Auchi.

I don't mind people stealing from me when they are nice, but Pipes like
David Horowitz is quite censorship prone which is American verboten and
Joe Farah sort of has a mouth on him too big for his mouth in being
rude.

But that's ok as even Chris Ruddy of Newsmax who sucked up
to Obama causing a great deal of the problems for McCain like Joe Farah
in promoting "none of the above" have allclasped hands around the merry Peggy Noonan tree dancing and shouting that this disaster they helped create can still be won for John McCain.

That is a sure sign that McCain and Palin
are winning if the big mouths are hedging their bets and the even more
surest sign are the glaring headlines by liberals, "POLLS MEAN NOTHING".

Wow when Obama in fiction is ahead by Rush Limbaugh's exact phrase of 15%
to win, then the polls are from the Obama mount, but just as soon as
McCain closes........polls have no meaning.

It makes one suffer from nostalgia when Dan Rather was the liar you could count on. Rather
could at least make lying fun in, "this race is tighter than a nun's
chastity belt on a trip to a New Orleans beefcake strip club".

Hey GungaDan I love Kipling and wrote a few thing honoring him, how about you adopt
me and we go into journalistic business together. You do the liberal
lies and I can do NFL cheerleader channel reviews.

Thee God and thee Messiah along with the world has had enough of Obama, let us elect John McCain and Sarah Palin and start having some fun.

Just watched a video on FoxNews.com with Cavuto interviewing Sarah Palin's father (all about hanging Sarah in effigy); even Neil stated that the McCain surge is too little too late. Cavuto went as far as to ask Mr. Heath what he knew about the "growing tension" between McCain and Sarah. Say what? How in the heck can that be productive.

I am talking to everyone who hasn't voted....and praying.

Hey guys, Rush was in rare form today!  His prebuttal to Obama was just excellent.  Any Independents and fence-sitters should listen or read this before they vote.  The more we find out about this guy, the scarier it gets.  I mean, his associations and votes for infanticide and wealth redistribution is one thing but, when you listen to those audio recordings of him denigrating our Founding Fathers and Bill of Rights and how he wants the SCOTUS to dole out economic justice, it just sends a CHILL down my spine!!!

Without further ado, Here's Rush:

Tonight, Barack Obama with his preinaugural address, a 30-minute television buy on some networks.  I thought, ladies and gentlemen, I would precede this with a prebuttal to Obama, my own version of an inaugural address, if you will, or a campaign ad.  It would go like this.

My fellow Americans, I come to you tonight a few days before an election only six days from now.  These are monumental times.  We face the worst economy since the Great Depression.  People are losing their homes, their jobs, their businesses.  Students cannot afford their college loans.  Single mothers cannot afford day care; our schools are underfunded; families are growing broke paying for health care.  And nobody seems to care,

ladies and gentlemen.  Nobody seems to represent the middle class.  The question is whether we want another eight years of failed policies.  I have traveled this nation.  From the big cities to our small towns, I have talked to the assembly line worker in Detroit. I have talked to the farmer in Missouri, and working people of this country have had to bear the brunt of eight years of neglect, of policies that have favored the well off and the wealthy.  It is time to change the course of the nation, to work together to bring an end to the division that exists in our nation.  That's what this election is about: hope, change, the future.  

And so it is, my fellow Americans, that I urge you to reject Barack Obama and his cynical campaign for president.  I urge you to reject the policies and the wording of the charismatic demagogue.  Barack Obama condemns the United States Constitution, our highest law, because it does not empower him to redistribute the income of the middle class and give it to people who do not work.  Obama condemns our judicial system not because it's too liberal and too activist, but because it will not impose his left-wing policies by judicial fiat.  Obama believes that the tax code should be used not to fund the legitimate purposes of government, but to massively expand the size and power of the federal government.  It's time for change.  It is time for the kind of change that has made this country great and the change we seek, the change that matters is change that expands our liberty, expands opportunities, expands wealth creation, and expands our horizons.  It is time to celebrate capitalism, not demonize it.  It's time to celebrate success, not punish it.  It is time to ignite our economy, not smother it.  

Barack Obama speaks the language of the socialist.  Barack Obama peddles class warfare.  He peddles human envy.  This is not what American leaders do.  This is not what would-be American presidents should do.  This is the tactic of the authoritarian, to create animosity, to create anger, to create fear, all for the purpose of undermining the strength and the unity of our society.  Barack Obama comes from a long line of ideologues who puts the interests of Big Government above the interests of the individual and the interests of the family.  He seeks to replace the American entrepreneurial spirit with government regulations and mandates.  James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, all embraced the principle that America was a different place because of its respect for the individual.  They did not talk about the government redistributing wealth.  They did not talk about the government punishing success.  They did not talk about the government reregulating the economy.  They did not say that paying more taxes was patriotic.  

They believed, as our leaders have always believed, that government had limits, so that the American dream would have no limits.  They believe that each human being is unique, that he or she has the ability to do great things if left alone to pursue their own interests.  They believed that ordinary people could accomplish extraordinary things.  They rejected outright the authoritarianism that Barack Obama represents.  They each swore to uphold the Constitution because they loved it, not because they saw it as a way to take power and subvert it.  Throughout our history, our leaders have understood that private property rights are key to the survival of the individual.  If you take his property, you take his livelihood.  If you take his property, you attack his spirit.  From the day our nation was born, the preservation of private property has been considered a priority of law.  Barack Obama wants to use the law to destroy private property.  This is what he means, when he attacks businesses large and small, when he insists that there must be limits on what you can earn and keep and pass on to your family when you pass away.  He wants the government to control your private property, your income, your assets.  

In other words, my fellow Americans, Barack Obama believes that when you go to work each day, when you save some of your money, when you write your will, the federal government can and must be involved in all of those decisions.  What would Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, and Reagan say about that?  Jefferson and Madison would call it the abuses of monarchy.  Lincoln would call it the abuses of despotism.  Ronald Reagan would call it the tyranny of socialism.  Our nation is built on the premise that the federal government has specific limited powers.  It has important powers, yes, but they are restricted to certain activities.  And the purpose of those powers is not to expand the authority of politicians and bureaucrats in Washington, but to organize society around the concept of individual liberty.  The individual is not to be a slave to government, he is not to be an employee of the politician or the bureaucrat.  He is to be respected and protected from government.  That is why we have a Bill of Rights.  It is why we have separation of powers.  It is why we have states' rights.  

For several decades, the left has attempted to destroy these protections.  The left does not want to be hemmed in by the Constitution.  They have sought ways to avert the legal limits the Founders placed on them and their ambitions, and, sadly, they have made much progress in this regard and they have placed all hope that Barack Obama will finally deliver them the victory over the American people they have craved.  And make no mistake, my fellow Americans, a Barack Obama victory is a victory over the American people.  And that is, in the end, what this election is really about.  Will the American people remain free, or will they once and for all become servants of government?  Will the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington be empowered to confiscate the hopes, the dreams, the finances, the property of the people as they see fit, any time they see fit, or will the people still be in charge of their own government and their own destiny?  That is what this election is all about.  

When Barack Obama says that he will make sure you do not lose your home, that you will go to college, that you will receive free health care, that you will have child care, that you will be free from want, free from desire, free from need, he repeats the lies of past authoritarians who have made the same claims and the same promises and who have delivered nothing but poverty, misery, and hopelessness.  Obama represents an ideology for which there are no limits on power.  He wants to lead a different kind of government, one in which there are no limits to how much it can confiscate from the people, he wants to lead a movement in which the individual is crushed under the weight of the many.  And Obama, like others in the past, speaks of democracy as he pursues anti-democratic goals.  As his mentor Saul Alinsky taught, you must use the language of the middle class in order to destroy it.  

So I come to you, my fellow Americans, with a simple message.  If you believe in the principles and the institutions that have made this nation great, that have given more liberty and prosperity to more people than any other system on the face of the earth, that have created the most tolerant and giving and successful society in human history, then I urge you to reject the candidate who rejects these and our principles.  If you want to leave your children and grandchildren and generations yet to come a country that is as free and hopeful and magnificent as the country you live in today and that your parents and grandparents left you, you will reject the candidate who rejects individual liberty, private property rights, and the Constitution.  Do not allow a charismatic demagogue to change our great nation in ways that will diminish it.  You have your destiny and America's destiny in your own hands, you, not the media, not the pollsters, not the pundits, you will decide this election.  You will decide if you want to live in America or someplace that you won't recognize in a few years.  You will decide if the principles that have served this nation so well will remain our governing principles.  

This election, only six days away, is the most important election in our lifetime.  Everything is at stake.  We know this because Obama has said so.  He has thrown down the gauntlet.  He is running against our history.  He is running against the system.  He is running against our liberty, and so it is that I ask you on November 4th, next Tuesday, vote for liberty, your own and the nations.  Vote for opportunity, your own and your children's.  Vote for America.  Vote for McCain-Palin.  You will hear Obama tonight say that we have been talking about the same problems for decades and nothing has ever been done to solve them.  This may be the most accurate statement Barack Obama has made, or will make, in the campaign.  We have been talking about the same problems for decades.  The problem is that for most of these decades, the people who have been fixing them have made them worse.  It's not that we have done nothing to solve these problems.  

We have done everything the left promised would solve these problems, and not one of the problems is solved, unless Republicans achieve a majority and govern as such, and then we get welfare reform.  And then we get balanced budgets, and then we get tax cuts, and then we get prosperity, and we get good national security, and we get safety.  But at those times where Democrats are strong enough in Congress to blunt a Republican president, or run the whole show themselves, they look back over 50 years and they see the same problems, and we have addressed those problems and we have fixed those problems per se, and yet the beneficiaries of the solutions are still as angry and unhappy and miserable as they were 50 years ago when the liberal Democrats began the fix.  It makes no sense to let them keep fixing things when all they do is break them.
