Republicans For Change

Republicans For Change – A Message From The Maverick

The Vice Presidential candidates have been chosen. We have Obama, the “Change you can believe in” candidate, selecting Senator Joe Biden for his running mate. One week later McCain selects for his VP a little known Governor from Alaska, Sarah Palin!

Patrick Henry Speech and Hope For America

I was just re-reading a speech from Patrick Henry of Virginia which was written and presented without notes in 1775. He was encouraging the Virginia Delegates to favor some measures he had produced which would bind that Colony to the American Revolution.
 
In this speech he speaks of hope. And this is what caught my eye upon this occasion of review. This paragraph is a direct quote which will be followed by my edits for 2008. Just look.
 

Term Limits and the Vice Presidency 2008 Election

 
The race for the presidency is in full swing and Hillary Clinton has become an Obama Mama! I called it months ago and so here we are at the threshold of historical times and everyone is excited in some way or another. I can’t help but to wonder am I the only one who is thinking ‘who gives a shit about the candidates for the Presidency, who’s really going to be President? Who’s going to run for President of the United States as Vice President'?
 
I’ll be shocked if either candidate survives their term. Remember, this is America, land of the Fruits and Nuts! We’ve more guns than citizens!
 

Republican Polling Techniques

So it's Friday morning and I get a call from some young man and he asks for me by name.

"Speaking" I replied.

He then rattled off his name, title and whom he represents so quickly that all I got was his first name and Republican Party.

 

He then asks me "If the Presidential election were to be held today would you vote for John McCain over the Democratic presidential candidate?"

 

I immediately recognized that as a loaded question since the Democrats have not yet picked a candidate.

 

"I'm don't even know who is going to be the Democratic presidential candidate. Is there something you know that I don't?" I said.

 

Fat People - A Cognitive Dissonance?

So I'm thinking about fat people, and specifically those fat asses on disability and how they might get to that point. You might know one, so fat they claim they cannot work and thus suck the taxpayer tit someone with a real problem and real need might suckle on - stealing from those more unfortunate than themselves.
 
How might they get that way? Some claim medical conditions like thyroid problems. Some claim it's a side-effect of some medication they are taking for a different, unrelated ailment. At one time I thought ok, sure, whatever. Not now, NO, I call bull-fucking-shit!
 
I have a question for those whom disagree with me at the moment.
 

Experience the Corruptness

 

The Democratic Party is in a battle for its very soul this election. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in the fight of their political lives, although much more so for Hillary than for Obama. In the war of words between Hillary and Barack, because there clearly is no war of ideas, Hillary, the once assumed clear-cut winner, is scratching for anything in which to set her attack machine in motion. So far the best she can come up with, is that Barack Obama is “inexperienced”, “he lacks experience”. It’s as if she assumes that no one but an  “experienced polititian

 

McCain - Still the McSame

 

Last week I’m chatting with another man while taking a break from work, and as the discussion turns from our fears concerning the current state of the US economy to the current presidential candidates, he voices his support (albeit reluctantly) for Sen. John McCain. At that point I ask him point blank - why?

 

This man, a recent acquaintance of mine, states that he supports John McCain because “McCain is the only one with the experience to keep America safe.”

 

The Rise of the NASCARVoter.

 

Reflections from below the Observation Deck

 

Yep, It’s election time here again and that means for most everyone that it’s a time for examining the potential candidates and their issues, but let’s turn the table and examine the issues of the American Voters in our age of fast-everything.

 

In the blazing fast information age our most popular sports exude action at such a fast pace there is no way one person can see it all, and there is no “sport” which has arisen in the past several decades which ties this pursuit of fast action with the American love of Automobiles like NASCAR does.

The Price of the American Presidency

In the American Presidential election of 2008 we’re witness to what is widely expected to become the most expensive political race in the history of the world. Campaign spending by all presidential candidates combined, as of Super Tuesday, is estimated to already top 450 Million Dollars! That figure is expected to top one billion dollars by November 11th which would qualify the 2008 presidential campaign as the most expensive political seat ever!

 

Vote For Change!

Change - the buzzword of the 08’ American Presidential Elections. That word, change, has the mouths of all the candidates frothing like rabid dogs. The word ‘change’ is drooling out of their campaign messages and their stump speeches with all the characteristics one would expect in one of Pavlov’s dogs at the sound of a dinner bell. It’s currently a feeding frenzy for support, and the candidates are scrapping it out over possession of two food bowls in the trash-heap of American politics. Soon they will be pit-fighting for supreme possession of the one bowl of power, but in the meanwhile - Change! Change! Change!

 

Merry Faith Shaker - Gifts with strings

 

O.K. I admit I’m pretty much a scrooge when it comes to the December holidays. I  lost my excitement and enjoyment towards December 25th, Christmas, some time ago. I probably learned it by observation of my own family and those impressions made upon me as a child. That’s not to imply that children are not intelligent, on the contrary they seem more insightful and capable of understanding many principles and naturally evident truths which the adult sometimes loses sight of.
