I am going to remain calm here because I’m not supposed to be updating my blog as I am on vacation in Bahamas. But since I am bored at the moment I thought I’d drop a line. What’s the latest charge against Palin? She used her position as Governor of Alaska for personal gains involving the travel of her kids.
The Associated Press reported this month that Palin charged the state more than $21,000 for her three daughters’ commercial flights since she became governor in December 2006. She later ordered changes to travel forms to specify official business on the trips.
Has anyone mentioned the fact that Obama has not kept his word involving his campaign finances? Oh I forgot, Obama is the savior of the generation. I would give you the link for the story but I thought better of it.

I was listening to Bill O’Reilly yes the guy you liberals cannot stand because he is not in bed with Barack Obama, and he said something real interesting. Do not vote out of fear or hatred because you are going to put someone into office who you will later regret.
I can’t tell you how many people I know who are voting for Obama just because they hate Bush and think McCain is too close to him. McCain is not Bush and his policies differ vastly from those of the current administration. If you’re voting for a candidate vote because you agree with what he stands for. I’ll say the same thing to McCain voters, do not vote for McCain just because you fear Obama. If you have fear of him let it be for his policies and not because he is democrat or black. Because I guarantee you that if you make this mistake (as many American’s are doing) you are going to regret it.

Forgive my lack of covering for this the most important election of this century. I have been spending the last few days in Bahamian paradise soaking up the sun and trying to keep my mind off the election. Unfortunately that has not been totally possible because I am still cursed with a TV (that has cable) and so I keep finding myself wandering to CNN, FOX News and of course ABC and CBS.
But despite that I have been enjoying myself and will be back in business the night before the election.
Its quite ironic how these polls are tightening up. Half of the new polls are showing Obama losing a point or two each day (starting last Monday) and while the liberal media will not report it, allot of genuine and accurate polls are showing Obama with a one point lead which of course falls in the margin of error.
Now what’s this about an assassination plot that was supposed to be targeted at Obama? I know some of you may not like the man but come on that’s just cold?
As for that news anchor who asked Biden those questions, I think they were perfectly justified. Come on, Obama’s whole idea about distribution of wealth does sound like a Marxist agenda (whether you like it or not). And I don’t blame Obama for pulling all future interviews from the station but I think he made a big mistake because its giving the interview with Biden a lot more publicity than they wanted to get.
Well that just about wraps it up for today. My final thoughts: Don’t pay attention to the polls whether you are a McCain or Obama supporter. Stay away from CBS, ABC, CNN and yes FOX until the end of the election. And whatever you do, do not resort to unethical measures to get the vote out; that includes you ACORN!

Who gives a damn about how much the RNC spends on Palin. Seriously people, this obsession with Palin is way out of hand. Presentation is just as much a part of a campaign as is the message. And frankly I don’t think anyone has a problem with it, because I sure no neither you (nor I) would vote for McCain if Palin looked like she had been doing laundry all day.
I wonder why we’re not hearing about the thousands of dollars Mrs. Obama spent on her caviare dinner that was purchased with campaign funds? Oh I forgot, she is the wife of the messiah Barack Hussein Obama.

It never seems to amaze me how no one in Hollywood can actually think for themselves. If you happen to have a friend (who had a brain to begin with) and went to Hollywood (very unlikely) you’re probably pretty aware of what I am about to say. Its not that the majority of those who live in LA are democrat loving morons (well maybe they are), its that most of the liberal ones are the most vocal while the companies who own these studios are generally not that far left.
What is worse is how indoctrinated the young Hollywood minds can be. Below you will find Hayden Panettiere (actress from Hero’s TV series) along with Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) and a few other young Hollywood actors really show how scared we should be about our young kids looking up to these “role models.”
I don’t care if you are democrat or republican, you should not sit easy if these are your kids role models.

Didn’t I tell you, didn’t I tell you? A new AP poll finds that the presidential race has tightened significantly with the latest AP polls showing Obamma at 44 and McCain at 43 (statistically tied). So much for all those Obama supporters who thought everything was over. Seems like the Joe the Plumber thing really struck a note with voters.
AP NEWS
The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their party and McCain’s “Joe the plumber” analogy struck a chord.
Three weeks ago, an AP-GfK survey found that Obama had surged to a seven-point lead over McCain, lifted by voters who thought the Democrat was better suited to lead the nation through its sudden economic crisis.
As I said before, don’t underestimate Mac. No one ever thought he would win the Republican nomination and look at where he is now.

Democrat journalist Orson Scott Card
Finally someone got it right. Orson Scott Card has finally said something that every major news network (with the exception of Fox) was not willing to say. You will find the letter below.
This housing crisis didn’t come out of nowhere. It was not a vague emanation of the evil Bush administration.
It was a direct result of the political decision, back in the late 1990s, to loosen the rules of lending so that home loans would be more accessible to poor people. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans. …
This was completely foreseeable and in fact many people did foresee it. One political party, in Congress and in the executive branch, tried repeatedly to tighten up the rules. The other party blocked every such attempt and tried to loosen them.
Furthermore, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were making political contributions to the very members of Congress who were allowing them to make irresponsible loans. (Though why quasi-federal agencies were allowed to do so baffles me. It’s as if the Pentagon were allowed to contribute to the political campaigns of Congressmen who support increasing their budget.)
Isn’t there a story here? Doesn’t journalism require that you who produce our daily paper tell the truth about who brought us to a position where the only way to keep confidence in our economy was a $700 billion bailout? Aren’t you supposed to follow the money and see which politicians were benefiting personally from the deregulation of mortgage lending?
I have no doubt that if these facts had pointed to the Republican Party or to John McCain as the guilty parties, you would be treating it as a vast scandal. “Housing-gate,” no doubt. Or “Fannie-gate.”
Instead, it was Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, both Democrats, who denied that there were any problems, who refused Bush administration requests to set up a regulatory agency to watch over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and who were still pushing for these agencies to go even further in promoting sub-prime mortgage loans almost up to the minute they failed. …
Yet when Nancy Pelosi accused the Bush administration and Republican deregulation of causing the crisis, you in the press did not hold her to account for her lie. Instead, you criticized Republicans who took offense at this lie and refused to vote for the bailout!
Your job, as journalists, is to tell the truth. That’s what you claim you do, when you accept people’s money to buy or subscribe to your paper.
But right now, you are consenting to or actively promoting a big fat lie — that the housing crisis should somehow be blamed on Bush, McCain, and the Republicans. You have trained the American people to blame everything bad — even bad weather — on Bush, and they are responding as you have taught them to.
If you had any personal honor, each reporter and editor would be insisting on telling the truth — even if it hurts the election chances of your favorite candidate.

Welcome to part six in our popular series that covers media and political bias. Last episode we covered the big hoopla the media made when they found out that Joe the Plumber’s real name is Samuel. This episode also has to deal with Joe the Plumber and Barack Obama.
The news media sees it fit to dig up the back taxes of Joe the Plumber. Yet Barack Obama has admitted to using illicit drugs. Yet the media won’t ask him where these drugs were bought or if he ever sold them? On the other hand they tried to destroy Bush in 2004 over a drunk driving record that was from his teenage days.
I say this every time, but only because it is worth asking. Is it just me or am I sensing some extreme bias here?

Rush Limbaugh has been hammered by the media for daring to say that Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama was based on race and deep down inside Colin Powell is nothing but a liberal in Republican disguise. Well I’m sorry to break it to you but if you have not already noticed this than you must not have been paying attention to the news. Why else would Bush have to relieve him of his duties back in ‘04?
Not only that but he is pro-abortion, pro-affirmative action and not to mention his lunatic ideas about having talks with known terrorists. Not only that but he claims that his main reason for his Barack Obama endorsement is because Sarah Palin is not qualified to take over if McCain should pay the ultimate price. Well face it Mr. Powell, Barack Obama has just as much experience on foreign policy as Palin. And unlike Barack Obama who could become the most powerful man in the world in a few days Palin will not.
I was going to make this number 6 in our “double standard” series but I guess this goes into the whole racial issue which is a different class by itself.

Thanks to the rising strength of our dollar and the fact that OPEC has decided not to cut output, oil prices have dropped below $72 for the barrel. I’m not one to say that all of a sudden we are OK with our economy but I’m beginning to think that the economy is fixing itself.
I guess the oil sheiks are lamenting that they didn’t get to see gas prices reach $10 a gallon in the US. Though I am almost sure they will be lobbying OPEC to cut production soon.
