Barrack Obama & Gore endorsement

"Take it from me and from the election of 2000, you know that elections matter," says Al Gore preceding his endorsement of Barrack Obama. The speech took place in Michigan where many auto workers who are not happy with Gore live. Al Gore is the the king of bullshit. He claimed to invent the internet, he has made outrageous claims about global warming, and does not practice what he preaches! He was such a big figure in the global warming issue, yet his carbon footprint is larger then 100 or more average citizens combined. He claims to buy carbon offsets to make up for such a large environmental impact, but did you know he owns a carbon offset company. So he buys them from himself? Yea, let that sink in. Al Gore blames the dog and cat food contamination on the Bush campaign saying, "After the last eight years even our dogs and cats know that election matters." What had Al Gore done prior to this tragic mishap to prevent it? I believe the countries and George Bush's' main interest has been air planes hitting buildings, people crossing the boarders unhindered, and terrorist bombing innocent people all over the world. This was just a stupid remark by Gore! The timing and location of Al Gore endorsement of Obama does not seem to be in the best interest of Barrack's campaign. I would not vote for my best friend if he stood on a stage with Al Gore and publicly excepted his endorsement.


While Al Gore is trying to persuade his followers, with more crap from his mouth, to vote for Obama; Barrack Obama is saying he wants to tax the big oil companies more on wind tax revenue and make all illegal aliens legal citizens.

First taxing the oil companies will only transfer to higher costs for the consumer, which is you and me. "Even Putin is lower fuel taxes"-Headline news. The government gets rich and the people poor, by taking a few more dollars from the oil giants. This is not the answer you id**t! Also why tax wind power it is better then oil for the environment, they ought to get a tax break if anything. If the government wants to put up wind turbines and give out free energy I am all for it and will go along with taxing big companies for not using more renewable sources to fund it.

The second topic illegal immigration , are we legalizing another form of slavery? If you have seen how many of these illegals live? I have seen as many as 10 people in a shabby falling apart single wide mobile home on the property where the illegal aliens are employed. These companies buy run down housing and hide it on their property, many times behind locked gates, and house "workers" there. Illegals are getting paid below minimum wage in many cases and are not doing themselves or this country any good. We need to secure our boarders and deport known illegals not give them underpaying jobs and a slum to live in.

Bye Hillary ! The Real Race Begins

The Democratic convention will be interesting because the two states with primaries left don't have enough delegates to give Barack Obama the 47 needed to seize the nomination outright. Obama will win the Democratic nomination, his former preacher will "God Damn America" and John McCain will be the next President. That is the Law of Politics bet at this point in the election. Things are going to get ugly in the coming months between Obama and McCain, and there is no telling what other ghosts may come back to haunt them.

Looking at how the candidates have voted in the past is the best way to judge how they will vote in the future, in my personal opinion. On the Issues is a good source of information for individual candidate facts. On the issues has information about Foreign Policy, Economy, Abortion, Education, Energy and Oil, and more pertaining to the presidential candidates. The site seems to be a little slow on updating new issues, but overall has a vast amount of political information on many different candidates. I did not include Hillary's stats because in my opinion she is already out of the race. Hillary Clinton claims to have the popular vote lead after Puerto Rico, but as we found out in recent years, delegates are all that really matter.

McCain , Obama , Hillary ...... on WWE ?

John McCain's response to Obama and Hillary's wrestling campaign. There was some sort of Obama vs. Clinton skit put on by the WWE (wrestling) in Greenville, SC which is where this all started. I think this was a clean and interesting way for the candidates to compete. The video is cheesy, but I liked it and think he and the democratic hopefuls did a good job.

McCain voicing his disapproval of the attack ad that aired in NC, Senator John McCain said on April 23, 2008 that the ad in NC "crosses the line of negative campaigning" and is "not representative of the type of campaign he wants to run in NC or the country."

Hillary Clinton speaking on CNN. The video has been edited, but I do not know to what extent. It's a pretty good rip on Obama, but she probably lost some party support with her little endorsement of McCain. I think its funny personally. Everyone can agree this has been an interesting election and looks to be different then any other before.

Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama vs. John McCain

One cannot help but be fascinated by this year's presidential election no matter what side you sit on Republican or Democrat. Whatever the outcome in November, a sitting U.S. Senator will be our next President. We could have a former First Lady, an African American or a former POW as our President. Each candidate in his or her own way will be making history. And the important thing about that history making precedent, it's the American people who get to make the final decision.

So, we may all become a little battle weary about presidential politics and what seems like the endless campaigning by the presidential candidates, but I suspect we wouldn't want it any other way. I guess we all need to stay tuned to see which one of them emerges as the candidate to take on John McCain.

Americans for Responsible Recreational Access

Race for the White House

I think with the parties candidates becoming more clear, if not already decided, voters should turn their attention to what each candidate stands for. If you watch mainstream news you probably do not know much about either parties candidates except Obama is a good speaker and comes across as young, new, and different. John McCain may be seen as a continuation of the Bush administration by some and not conservative enough by his party. I am going to include links to each of the candidates issues page on their websites, but I encourage everyone who intends to vote to research more then just what a candidates "self-told" web page claims. I can not tell you where to get your information without biases so just look at a bunch of different sources and draw your own opinions. McCain's issues page and website at www.johnmccain.com. Barack Obama issues page. and website. Don't be fooled by a good sales pitch and end up with a lemon. Look at what these guys have voted/done in the past, history is fact and a good indicator of the future.

Traits of a "Good" Democrat

This is an email I received and wanted to share. It is supposed to be for fun so don't take it personally. I am worried about the state of this country and not just the economy, but sometimes a little humor helps people come together and work towards a common goal. If you have anything like this for the Republican Party feel free to post it as a comment. Todays primaries will be interesting, but I bet Obama and McCain will be the candidates. It should be interesting watching the votes come in today.
