Dirty Politics

I have been holding off posting on this election
again for a lot of reasons. At this point I don't
have a clue who is going to win. I'm also trying
to wrap my mind around the fact that the American
people are almost ready to give up the freedom
that they shed blood for and may have to again.
There has been a large increase in the sale of
firearms. This is interesting behavior in a
depressed economy. The threat of a bigger capital
gains tax is causing some folks who have large
sales pending to push ahead to try to beat the
tax increase that Obama has promised. My personal
opinion is that Obama will do serious damage to
the country if he is elected. There will be nobody
to stop him when he has total control with this
rotten congress that we have today. We may wake
up some morning and not recognize our country.
This is a good time for all true Americans to
get out and vote. Socratease8

The Right to Vote

It's starting to look like the right to vote
is going to be compromised by fraud in several
states. The democrats are trying to steal this
election even before it's started. 4000 dead
folks in one state are registered to vote.
This has happened before. The democrats don't
know how to have a fair election. They tried
to steal the vote in Florida in 2000 by
counting chads and indentations. The Supreme
Court had to stop that attempt. It looks like
they may have to do it again. The Secretary
of State in Ohio refuses to obey The law so
there may be 200,000 illegal votes in that
state. You would think that in a year when
the democrats have the advantage they would
play fair. It may take a long time to figure
who won the election. What a shame.

Obama reminds me of a 1950's used car
salesman. A good used car salesman could
sell you a car with 4 flat tires and make
you think you got a bargain. Obama is trying
to sell us an inferior product with his
slick talk. AND he wants to spread the
wealth around. He wants to take money from
folks who work hard and make more money,
and give it to folks who don't work as
hard and make less money. What a guy!
I read that the American Communist
party is happy to see that Obama may win
this election. That should be a clue to
where his heart is. Putting Obama in the
office of President will have the same
effect as asking the Russians or Chinese
to pick our judges. Won't that be fun.

Messiah

Louie Farrakhan calls Obama "Messiah. I guess
that makes it official. After listening to
Obama's rhetoric, I'm not sure if he will be a
messiah or a tzar. I know he wants to tax the
rich but the last time I looked it was the rich
that provided most of the jobs. Did you every
try to get a job from a middle class or poor
person.

As I said before I'm not too keen on McCain.
I don't think he has the grit to beat Obama,
but I'm ready to be proven wrong. Now I believe
Sarah Palin has the grit but she is not on the
top of the ticket. Socratease8

Debate

After watching the presidential debate
I have come to the conclusion that McCain
doesn't want to win. He had several chances
to make Obama look really bad but passed
them up. The one thing that kept popping
into my mind is that this inexperienced
clown may be the next president. If that
happens you will really have something
to worry about for your children and
grandchildren. The damage that this guy
will do to our way of life may be beyond
repair. The communist manifesto from the
1950's will have come full circle and
will look like a document of truth. The
communist said they would conquer the U.S.
from within. The judges that this guy will
pick and the socialist programs that he
will try to start will complete the
destruction of our way of life. It won't
have much effect on me, but my Kids and
their kids will pay the price.

There are two groups that I have seen on
television that turned my stomach. One was
a group of young girls singing the praises
of Obama in what looked like a school.
The other is a group of young black boys
dressed in military looking clothes marching
in step and shouting praises for Obama. This
is the kind of stuff that you see all the
time in China and North Korea. We may be
heading for a civil war.

Obama said that the economy has been
declining for the last 8 years. If McCain
had any guts he should have called Obama
a liar and pointed out that this country
had been attacked by terrorist and that
it took considerable resources to recover
from that. The economy was growing some,
until the democrats took over the congress.
That is when the gas prices doubled and
the housing market went away. The rest
is history.Socratease8

Back to Politics

Sarah Palin should start the debate with a
compliment for Joe Biden. She should tell
him that she has learned a lot from him. That
she didn't know that the television had been
around during the depression. Or that Franklin
Roosevelt was the president during the 1929
Wall Street crash. He became president in 1933.
She could say that those facts are not in her
history books. So it has been an education
listening to his speeches. I don't know if
Sarah is ready for prime time but there is
a lot of ammunition in Bidens speeches from
the past.

McCain has been a bit of a disappointment to
me. He should have a lot of guts after his
stay in a prison camp, but he is not showing
it. Maybe he doesn't know that you need to
prove that you have guts and grit everyday
of your life. You can't live on what happened
in the past. Right now he is acting like a
wimp. He needs to go after Obama with every
thing that he has. If not for himself, do it
for the American people. He is blowing this
election, because he wants to be mister nice
guy. There is no mister nice guy in politics.

Political Break

I took a few days off from the politics of the
day to visit two of my grandsons in Michigan.
We had a great visit and enjoyed the energy of
these two little tornadoes that seemed to move
through our space with great energy. We enjoyed
every second of the energy of these two little
forces that moved through our day.

It didn't take long to remember why we moved
from Michigan. Almost as soon as we entered the
state the sky's became cloudy and the roads
became one long speed bump. You would think that
with the amount of taxes that the state collects
it could at least fix the roads. We found out that
our son has to pay about $4000 property tax for a
house that he paid about $40,000 for that needs a
lot of repair. This is absurd but that is what
happens when you allow the democrats and unions to
take control of the state. The people of Michigan
need to wake up and get rid of the unions and
democrats. I was a union member for 35 years and
was a union official for 5 years. They made
promises to me that they didn't keep so I don't
have much use for them.

We have 5 more grand kids in Michigan but time and
circumstances didn't allow a visit this time.
Maybe in the future. Grand kids need to know
their grandparents.

We were back in the sun by the time we got back
to southern Ohio, and had good weather the rest
of the way home in Tennessee. Socratease8
