Stem Cell Research the Truth

Obama has put out ads here in Wisconsin, and I believe most likely across the country, describing John McCain as being against Stem Cell Research. As a matter of fact the ad features a woman saying she researched it and McCain is against it.

Stem cells. Another hot topic is stem cell research which promises significant breakthroughs for diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Obama wants to get rid of the ban imposed by president George W Bush which blocks federal funding to research involving embryonic stem cells. According to the democratic candidate this ban has "tied the hands of our scientists, preventing them from competing with other nations ". McCain voted twice against the ban, put forward by Bush in 2001 and hopes the ethical questions can be avoided through technological advances. See Story

As president, John McCain will strongly support funding for promising research programs, including amniotic fluid and adult stem cell research and other types of scientific study that do not involve the use of human embryos. johnmccain.com

As you can see he is not against Stem Cell Research. He is against the creation of embryo's for the sole purpose of research.

The ad also says that McCain wants to overturn Roe v. Wade, which is true, he wants to return the rights to each state to decide, not the Judicial system.

John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.

Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat. johnmccain.com

Earmarks--The Truth!!!

The Video pretty much says it all about our potential leaders when it comes to Earmarks, and being honest!!!!

Obama & Acorn

Obama put his Community Organization background up against Governor Palin's background as experience. I believe that we need to take a look deeper into the Senators background and experience, especially in light of all of the legal and political issues going on right now with ACORN.

Obama's Community Organizing came from his experience with ACORN. He was a driving force with them when they were pushing, and some would say bullying, banks into issuing sub prime loans.

When Obama was a lawyer/community activist he represented ACORN and sued Fannie Mae to reduce the requirements for getting mortgages. So the lenders complied and loaned to high risk buyers. As any banker will tell you, your credit rating determines your interest rate. So these high risk buyers wound up with adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). see story

I believe that you can blame all sides for this mess, Republicans & Democrats. However I find it very ironic that Obama will sit there with a straight face and blame it on the Republicans for deregulation. It isn't deregulation, it is people like him. He helped create the mess. The regulation he is talking about is regulation on himself.

Obama was also involved in a lawsuit against Citibank in 1994 also to get the requirements lowered for people to get better loans.

Is it any wonder that Obama's former group is now tied up in all kinds of voter fraud allegations in key swing states. This is the organization that has very strong ties to the nominee, and they are involved in illegal voter activity in key states the nominee must win.

The worst part about the voter fraud, is that there is nothing that can be done. If you throw out all of the votes this group helped get you undoubtedly will also be throwing out some good votes by good people. By the time the mess is cleaned up, the election will be over and nothing will be done if it is found the wrong person was elected.

Brewers end Great Season

The Brewers dropped game 4 of the ALDS to the Phillies to lose the Series 3-1 and end their season.

But....What a great year. After 26 years the Brewers not only gave the fans something to cheer about and dream about in September!!!!! We got to keep going even into OCTOBER!!!!

Thank you to the entire Brewer Organization. This has been fantastic.

If you ever wondered what the Brewer Organization is all about, CC Sebathia summed it up during an interview when he left the door open for a possible return to the club by saying, "I like being around people I enjoy" Thank you CC, Mark, Dale, Doug, Ryan, Prince, and everyone for this magical season.

What next for the Country?

Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Congress finally succeeded in passing the huge $800 billion dollar bailout.

Wall Street responded in kind to the Bailout dropping immediately following the vote.

Nancy Pelosi was then asked if this was going to curb the spending spree that the Dems had planned for next year after the elections. "No" was the answer. This is only a loan we didn't spend the money.

I can't believe that we have allowed this to happen. If this is the new Direction she is talking about I want off the ride.

Brewers face 0-2

The Brewers sent CC to the Mound hopefully to walk out of Philly with at least a split. However the Brewers crawled out of Philly down 0-2. The Brewer Bats have been ice cold and the defense really let them down in game 1.

Home in Milwaukee they will have to do the seemingly impossible and sweep the next 3. They can do it, but they have to get hot, hot, hot.

Brewers drop Game 1

The Brewers dropped Game 1 to the Phillies. Why in the world you would start Weeks over Durham is beyond me. When I first saw the line up I thought that Ned Yost was back at the helm. Weeks didn't surprise me with his error, it is typical Weeks.

The mistake by Cameron did surprise me though. The Brewers will send Sebathia to the mound for Game 2 and have to get out of Philly with a split.

Bailout!!! Who to Blame?

Over the past several days we have all heard about the dire straights that we are in here in America with our economy.  We have heard who is to blame.  The Republicans, the Democrats, the President, Wall Street, Corporate America, Mickey Mouse.....

Who really is to blame?  I personally think that there is plenty of blame to go around.  I think that you can fairly say that both parties had a hand in this mess.  The Democrats can't blame the Republicans as they have controlled both houses and did nothing to stop it.  Republicans can't really blame the Democrats as they controlled both houses prior to the last big election and did nothing to stop it.  You can't really blame the President, as Congress can override him at will.  

The blame needs to fall on all of our sorry little asses!!!!  We elect these do nothing people into very powerful positions and then don't hold them accountable.  We don't do our homework before the elections to really find out what they are all about.  We go by the catchy little ads that are put out there because we are too lazy to do some research.  Spend some time to find out about your local, state, and federal reps before election time.  Is the person you put into office last time doing their job as you wish?  Are they voted like you want them to?  If not kick their ass to the curb.  You couldn't get away with that at work could you?

Do your job!!! Remember these people work for us, and should reflect your decisions!!!

BREWERS ARE IN!!!!

The Milwaukee Brewers have ended a 26 year drought of making the playoffs.  Riding the arm of their midseason acquisition CC Sebathia, the Brewers held the Cubs to 1 run until Ryan Braun could blast a no doubt 8th inning 2 run shot to take a 3-1 win.

At almost the same time former Brewer Wes Helms hit a home run to give the Marlins a 3-2 lead over the New York Mets, followed up by a Dan Uggla home run and a Marlins 4-2 win.

BREWERS ARE IN!!!! Play the Phillies on Wednesday.
