I agree With Obama, Pull up your Pants

In an Interview with MTV Democratic Candidate Barack Obama stated, "..any public official, that is worrying about sagging pants probably needs to spend some time focusing on real problems out there. Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants."

Finally something that we agree upon. Nobody wants to see that including the Democratic Nominee and many others of us out there.

Maybe we can have the proper fitting pants credit.

Attacks on Michelle make Obama Mad

...set of media outlets that went after my wife for a while in a way that I thought was just completely out of bounds. And -- and I, you know, frankly I-- you know, I would have never considered or expected my allies to do something comparable to the spouse of an opponent. ... I just feel like family is -- are civilians. And they don't sign up for this stuff. - CBS NEWS

I agree that the family members should be off limits. Why attack the spouse or other family member. Don't make it personal, Their opinions or stances can be questioned but not a personal attack on someone.

Now where I will disagree with Mr. Obama, where was this opinion when his people, directly connected to his staff, was attacking the Palin family? The stories about the young children? This was from his own people, where was his outcry? The stories about Mrs. McCain? Where was his outcry. You can't have it both ways. I think that all sides should come out against it, and punish those close to them who engage in these types of attacks.

False Fliers, Calls, Dirty Tricks as Vote Nears

As we close in on Election 2008 the reports of Dirty moves is on the increase throughout the Country, most notably in the battleground states.

The Democrats blame the Republicans and the Republicans blame the Democrats. This is the standard of both parties. Neither side can say it is the other party.

Does any of this really work? Fliers that tell voters something about the other candidate that might not be completely true. Phone Calls that give misleading if not false information. I don't believe it really works unless the person that gets these are some of the uninformed anyway.

We have seen the video's of people voting for a Candidate, but doesn't even know what that Candidate stands for. Those people may be able to be swayed, they were swayed to vote without knowing anything, so yes those people may be swayed. Other than that, I don't think it does anything except make the people who are making the calls and sending out the fliers feel better.

McCain - Palin Power Campaign

Republican Candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin are on the move with less than 24 hours to go. They are hitting as many states and making as many stops as possible in the final hours of this long election season.

With newly found information about Obama's energy plan, they are hitting the Democratic Candidate hard. In a taped interview Obama can be heard saying that he would tax the Coal industry hard, it will bankrupt them. Energy costs will go through the roof.

The question is whether it will be enough to overcome the lead that Obama is showing in the polls. Margins vary from 2 points to 13 points in the final hours. The good news for McCain and Palin is that Pennsylvania and Ohio are both big coal states and must wins for both candidates.

Polls all over the place with 24 hours to go

With less than 24 hours before election day, the polls are all over the place. All Polls show an Obama lead, the question is by just how much. The range is from 2 points to 13 points.

As more and more details keep coming out about Obama's plans should he win the White House, will there be an upset? Much of the Media will tell you it is Obama's to lose.

An MSN report says that if Obama loses it will be devastating to the media.

Both sides are pushing to get out the vote.

Obama against Coal Industry

In January 2008 the San Francisco Chronicle did an interview with Obama. The audio tapes can be heard here Click.

“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” Obama said, “That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in wind, solar, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches. The only thing that I have said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a ideological matter... - Excerpt from taped interview.

This is not the same program that the Democratic Nominee has been selling across the country over the last few months. The people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Missouri should stand up and take notice. He also said during the interview Obama also stated that under his plan to eliminate coal as an energy source would dramatically raise energy prices.

How come this is just coming out, 48 hours before the election. The more amazing part is that none of this is being covered by the main street media. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, none of them.

ACORN in the News again

...ACORN had hired 59 inmates from a work-release program at a nearby prison and that some inmates who had been convicted of identity theft had been made supervisors. That led some local wags to joke that at least ACORN was hiring specialists to do their work. - Larry Lomax, the chief elections officer in Las Vegas

Story

This is one of those things that just really drives me nuts. Why are our Tax Dollars given to an organization that is partisan? This group isn't even trying to hide the fact that they completely support the Democratic party. So why does our Tax Dollars go toward a one sided group.

Now lets talk about all of the illegal stuff that has come out about the group. ACORN is under investigation in multiple states for illegal voter registration. They want to blame it on the people they are hiring. Welcome to the world of business, if the people you hire do something wrong, then you are responsible. It is time to put this organization out of business.

Democrats Control Election in Key States

With a Democrat now in charge of the offices, which oversee and administer their state’s elections, the party is better positioned than in the previous elections to advance traditional Democratic interests - Politico.com Story

Democrats have worked hard over the last few years to secure control over elections in key states. The Politico.com story demonstrates how loopholes in the electoral system are used to the advantage of each party.

The time is going to come for the dissolution of party rule. It is sad when a Party decides the direction of the country. The Party decides for the elected officials. We no longer live where there is Government for the People, by the People. We live in a world where money buys elections and Political Parties rule the landscape.

Titans remain Undefeated, Beat Packers

Packers didn't lose, beat by better team - Jay Sorgi 620 WTMJ

It was a good game. Taken into OT before the Tennessee Titans could put up the game winning FG. The Titans had a chance to win with a last second FG, but it banged off the Right upright and OT.

The Packers released KGB on Friday. The Titans continue on as the only Undefeated team in the NFL.

By the way, I am a TITAN FAN. So you will hear more about them as the season goes on. I kept it out until after this game, I know how you Packer fans get.
