To be honest with you the only reason why I did not extend my vacation in the Bahamas has to do with the fact of the election. And what is more bizarre is that my flight from Charlotte NC was delayed. So as we were waiting in line to take off (20′th in line to be exact) I just happened to spot a plane that looked quite familiar and what do you know it was Barack Obama’s plane.
For all of you who actually think I hate Obama, let me clarify. I like the guy. Obama is a very likable person. The only thing I don’t like about him are some of his political policies. So if you think I hate him than no you’re wrong. And as I said before may the best man win.

As the title suggests its election day. Get your but out there ad vote. Even if you do not agree with any of the candidates running at least vote to preserve some key ideologies we American’s hold. That means voting on issues dummy.
In any case I’ll be giving updates throughout the day as I am back from Bahamas.

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.

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.

I’m beginning to sense that every time (since the first presidential debate) all the networks have pre written a story saying John McCain was too cranky so he lost (including Fox). No one denies that Barack Obama is the more eloquent of the two, but neither can you deny the fact that in the last two debates (especially last night’s one) John McCain kept Obama on the offensive.
And all the political pundits are saying that he is too cranky. As McCain said last night (which could have been a game changer if it were not for Obama’s extremely good comeback) “if you wanted to run against George Bush, you should have run four years ago.”
Nothing pleased me more than the way both candidates kept pandering to Joe the plumber who has gotten instant fame thanks to a big mistake by Obama. What the news media will not say is that last night McCain gave the best demonstration of the socialistic intent of Obama. As he said to Joe the Plumber, “I want to spread some of that wealth around.”
I do have to give Obama credit though. On almost every debate he has creamed McCain on the issue of healthcare. But one small advantage that McCain has is that its the same government who has mashed up the health care system that Obama want’s to give back control to. In other words “more of the same.”
So if you are asking me who won, I’ll have to go with McCain and the reason why is on two issues: Joe the Plumber who solidified the point of what Obama really stands for and McCain hammering Obama on living in the past and referring him to President Bush.

It seems like this voter fraud thing (by ACORN) goes a little deeper than we may have originally thought. The letter below was sent by the Obama campaign last month to the McCain campaign. It was just released today. The letter can be viewed after the break.

The final presidential debate is upon us and there is not much anticipation as to whether this will be a game changer for either campaign or not. McCain needs to smoke Obma in this one if he wants to improve his odds of even having a chance again him in the presidential elections (coming up in 19 days), and Obama needs to prove that he is not about high taxes (although many believe he already has).
I had said a few months back (during the primaries) that I was loosing interest in politics but as the final days of the campaigns approach I can only sit with both fingers crossed. Let’s just see how this last presidential debate fairs off and we might have some solid evidence as to who is gonna be the man come January 1’st.

So who won the debate? Well as usual I will save my answer to that question until later but I have some questions to ask. McCain, where did this $300 billion mortgage plan came from? And why the hell didn’t you attack Obama on Ayers?
I have no more questions to ask. But in the mean time you can check out FactCheck.org and see how many lies both candidates told.
