Early Voting

Okay - for the first time in my life I went to early voting - and actually just returned. My observations were astounding.

I brought my 14-year old son with me to stand in line for around an hour in order to get the vote in and hopefully lower my blood pressure a tad. I felt it was important to bring him in order to show him the process and understand that it is just not a right but a privilege to vote - a privilege that an enormous amount of men and women shed their blood on battlefields through the last two centuries in an effort to afford such a privilege. Whether or not you agree with one candidate or another, you should vote.

But what I saw wasn't whether or not people in this line stood there because they cared about the context of the candidates ideologies - it became vividly clear and validated my speculation -they were there to vote based on color. Now there were white teens there voting along the Obama ticket as well - how did I know - well they were dressed like an Obama Christmas tree.

How did I know it wasn’t about context? The young man in front of me was talking to another gentleman who was about 30 years old, and was telling him that he works at Wal-Greens and that his hours were being cut back because of the last eight years - mind you this young man was about 20 years old. He stated that if Obama wins he is:

1) Going to make a lot more money;
2) Be able to "get" a house;
3) Take November 5th off from work to party - read that last one again - he is already planning on not working but making more money and getting a house because of an Obama presidency.

I live in Port St. Lucie, Florida - a nice middle-class area. It is the fastest growing city in the United States - so we have a diverse populace. I was surrounded by people talking in all different dialect - they were there to vote for a U.S. president, but no one was speaking English.

I turned to my son and told him aloud how wonderful it is to be a college graduate (which I am), and be so much smarter than those drinking the Kool-Aid of the Democrat base.

Ladies and Gentlemen - Welcome to the Obama States of America! If Governor Palin gets Alaska to ever secede from the United States - well send the wood for my cabin to Mt. McKinley because that's where I'm going.

Okay - now I need 5mg of Lipitor!

It's NOT Wall Street, It's Main Street DUMMY

The recent economic crisis here in the United States has had leftists in this country trying to blame entire Republican Party and implying it was the greed and fat cats of big business that got us in this situation.

I say – nonsense! Barney Frank who is another one of those Socialist Massachusetts, self-hating Jew, elitist, and Kennedy loving congressman has had the absolute Gall to come out against the bailout due to not enough provisions. Frank is the one that stood in the way of regulatory oversight of the Mae programs. Frank was warned that this is a situation that could happen, and it did.

This isn’t about big business; this is about Main Street acquiring loans through the Mae/Mac programs that they knew they wouldn’t be able to afford once the variable went higher than their income. This was a construction of the Clinton White House in order to appease the minority vote. Franklin Raines who as in charge of the Mae/Mac programs profited tens of millions of dollars – where did this money go? I can assure you that a significant amount went to Obama’s campaign. Ever wonder why Obama has negated from using public funds for his campaign? He doesn’t have to – with people like Raines giving him money for his campaign, as well as Hollywood celebrities, why would he use public funds. Trust me; these people will look for pay back if this character is elected.

Franklin Raines is also one of Obama’s key economic advisors – do you believe this? His key economic advisor is a central figure on who got us into this mess in the first place, and now he is giving Obama financial advice for his plans that will affect the country. Obama and his decision making process – priceless.

Agreed, Paulson should not be the only one with oversight in the bail out – this is a good place to start and show the country that Republicans are not hypocrites as their Democrat counter-parts. The suggestion by McCain is to use a panel of three men for the oversight – one Republican, one Democrat, and one Independent - Warren Buffett, Mitt Romney or Michael Bloomberg, respectively. This was a suggestion by McCain – where are the suggestions by Obama? (Cricket Sounds).

For the record – here is a list of the campaign contributions made by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – now keep in mind, Obama has only been in the senate less than four years:

This is over a 2:1 ratio with Obama generating HUNDREDS of millions more than McCain WOW!
Let’s get back to the story at hand. Obama still doesn’t have a plan to help the economy within our economic woes, other than RASING TAXES. You can’t get blood from a stone you knucklehead. As of today it was reported that Obama may be rethinking his future policy – 40+ days before the election and now Obama wants to flip-flop his entire economic plans. So where are the leftists now to defend his policy that it looks like he is going to abandon?

As I have said before – the 5% who will be carrying the load of the country with the Obama plan, are now losing their pants – so I’ll reiterate this – WE ARE GOING TO PAY THE LOAD – the working 47.5% of the country will be strapped down because Obama will make us pay the tab for those around us who foreclosed on their homes. And now the government will be the landlords.
Disagree with me if you will – nevertheless it does not take away the fact that the crisis we are in now has the potentiality of turning this country on its ear without the proper leadership.

If Obama comes into office the assuredly is there that the common worker will have to support everyone, whether they work or not – and in a leveled manner. That my friend is Socialism – it is an ideology that makes the people slaves to the government. The free-market will be destroyed because there will be no different classes of the populace – those if you are uneducated and lazy beyond any loafer, you will have the same benefits as me – my sweat, blood, tears – while you sit on your ass.

Wake-up leftists – your free speech will be taken away from you if Obama is elected, your free-market gone, and freedom of expression – POOF!
