For the last few days various outlets have been bringing up the eligibility issue of the presidency. And all of them have been so dishonest. Some have stated that it needs to be litigated, some have stated that citizenship and natural born citizen is the same thing, some have stated that only one parent is required when born abroad, still another purported that our first 7 presidents weren't born here so its ok, totally ignoring the grandfather clause, Glenn Beck. It kinda po's me when people say it should be litigated when anyone with an ounce of integrity should know...

A picture of things to come. The RINO pals up with the Socialist.

Iraqi defector, Sabah Khodada, said the 9/11 hijackers were trained in teams of six. Flight attendant, Renee May said there were six hijackers on Flight 77.They were both right. Iraq was behind 9/11, using al-Qaeda as a, "false flag." To read more see the posts, at this blog, beginning with the one dated September 11, 2008.

For a minute I thought it was next Sunday, because they were all talking about the election in the past tense, with questions like "when was it that John McCain lost this election?" The discussion came down mostly to how much of a landslide the election is going to be for Obama, with no consideration of the possibility of any other outcome. Apparently the media has entirely convinced itself that exit polls of early voting can accurately predict the overall outcome of the election, despite the fact that it has been definitively proven that people lie pathologically to exit pollsters,...

Al Qaeda has finally made an official statement of policy regarding the 2008 US elections, and it is a ringing "anti-endorsement" for the Republican Party. The "anti-endorsement", posted on the jihadist forums a week before the Election Day 2008, was included towards the end of the message. The message, from Al Qaeda leader (and Bagram prison escapee) Abu Yahya al Libi, was a Khutba or sermon delivered in honor of the Eid al Fitre holiday. Unlike 2004, when Bin Laden referenced both candidates by name, but refrained from actually endorsing either, Al Libi specifically calls for the wrath of Allah...

Dick Morris was just on Fox News and he said "McCain should use the Dow Jones to his advantage". Morris is correct. People are selling off because they are afraid Obama will get in. I for one DO NOT want to pay a higher tax in Capital Gains taxes which Obama wants to do. I feel that the market will be very erratic and go down if Obama wins on Nov 4th. If McCain wins, I feel the markets will stabilize. This week it is about the economy and McCain needs to use it to his advantage. I am not...

McCain Blasts Dems For Going After Joe The Plumber Since the debate, when John McCain made a big Issue of Joe the Plumber, Senator Obama's campaign has been bashing Poor Joe. Investigating his background, going through his personal record, bashing the guy on TV. All Joe did was as the Senator a question ! Well today Senator McCain told Obama to leave Joe alone. “Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks" Way to go Senator McCain!!! See the full video and transcript below: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/27240978#27240978 MCCAIN DEFENDS THE PLUMBER...

Note to the Obama and McCain campaigns: Want to win the vote of Mike and Diane Kluchar? Get angry, then get specific–and stay that way. As details emerge about Wall Street titans taking home multimillion dollar bonuses while the global economy teeters, the Kluchars are enraged. That these corporate executives appear poised to get away with stealing money from the taxpayers while the average Joe is terrified about keeping his house and his job is driving them both crazy. “What I wanted to hear tonight is that they’re going to go after them, that someone is going to go to...

When academic credentials are discussed in the media, what you typically hear is that Obama is brilliant because he was president of the Harvard Law Review, whereas McCain is a dolt because he graduated towards the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy (even though that was because of discipline -- not academic -- issues, caused by McCain's "rebel" personality). Now imagine a world in which the media is not in the tank for Obama....

A weekend in Scranton (more appealing than its inclusion on Forbes magazine's recent list of "America's Fastest-Dying Cities" might suggest) provides anecdotal evidence that voters have yet to fully grasp the implications of the incredible shrinking financial sector. At Chick's Diner in Scranton Sunday morning, a 22-year-old factory worker named Tim G. (he would not reveal his full last name) who will be casting his first vote for McCain in November, sniffed, "Where's the recession we're supposed to be in. What recession? And if there is a recession, it's probably because of the Democratic House." ... One of the trickiest...

America today marks a grim anniver sary: the 9/11 strikes - at Ground Zero, the Pentagon and on an air liner over Pennsylvania. And as it did for the last six years, the occasion offers those who lost loved ones a chance to remember and grieve. In New York City, family members will descend into the pit - likely for the last time, as new structures, now under construction, rise up and transform the site.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 30 -- Their first encounter was last February at the National Governors Association meeting in Washington. Sarah Palin was one of several governors who met privately with Sen. John McCain, by then well on his way to capturing the Republican presidential nomination, and her directness and knowledge were impressive. Far from being a last-minute tactical move or a second choice when better known alternatives were eliminated, Palin was very much in McCain's thinking from the beginning of the selection process, according to McCain's advisers. The 44-year-old governor made every cut as the first list of candidates...

1:50 pm MT: From ABC News' Rick Klein, author of The Note: So all the buzz today was supposed to be about two big Wednesday speeches -- Bill Clinton’s and Joe Biden. Why, then, is everyone in Denver talking about stagecraft? It’s simple: Reporters got their first glimpse of the stage where Barack Obama will deliver his speech tomorrow night at Invesco Field. Reuters described the set as similar to a "Greek temple." Thus a legend -- not the good kind -- was born. Said one Democrat: "This is a disaster of mythical proportions." Said another: "It's not enough that...

I just asked my 10-year-old daughter if she wanted to see the latest video on Barack Obama. She asked if it would say bad things about him. I responded, "Yes". She asked if there were any things bad said about John McCain. I responded, "Yes." I explained to her this election could be a choice between the "lesser of two evils". Her response...

Mr. Lieberman, the Connecticut Independent who was the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000, made the remark as he used his introduction of Mr. McCain to deliver a harsh assessment of Mr. Obama without mentioning his name. “In my opinion, the choice could not be more clear: between one candidate, John McCain, who’s had experience, been tested in war and tried in peace, another candidate who has not,’’ Mr. Lieberman said. “Between one candidate, John McCain, who has always put the country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate who has not. Between one candidate...

History is a teacher. The Obama campaign will do everything it can to slime John McCain. The Obama Hope fiends strung out on the temporary, but ultimately toxic, high that comes from injecting Hopium will likewise slime John McCain. The increasingly smart McCain campaign knows the slime on racism was merely a harbringer of things to come. The McCain campaign is taking steps now to prevent the sliming of John McCain. The long term Obama campaign thugs will go with their tried and true methods for getting Obama underserved promotions - slime opponents, plant anonymous memos, investigate opponents for personal...

Barack Obama's 11-point lead in Wisconsin is now down to four. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows Obama leading John McCain 47% to 43%. When “leaners” are included in the totals, Obama leads 51% to 44%. Last month, in the first Wisconsin poll conducted since Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama was ahead of his Republican opponent 50% to 39%. Obama is supported by 86% of Wisconsin Democrats, McCain by 95% of Republicans. Voters not affiliated with either major party are evenly divided. The Democrat leads by a 2-to-1...

Raleigh, N.C. – John McCain has retaken the lead in Florida, Public Policy Polling’s newest survey shows. Barack Obama had taken a small lead in June after trailing in PPP surveys of the state in March and January, but McCain now has a 47-44 advantage. Obama earns just 76% of the Democratic vote, with the folks in his party supporting McCain disproportionately older white females. “The Democrats crossing over to support John McCain are your prototypical Hillary Clinton supporters,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Barack Obama still has some work to do getting those folks on his...

A couple of polls out today at state level are showing further improvement of McCain's standing at state level. Survey USA Florida McCain 50 Obama 44 Poor Obama, he has spent over $5 million on ads in this state since primary, and McCain has spent ZERO. Great investment return, and keep it up, Obama. Other polls are conducted in safe blue and red states, nothing particular interessting except the trendline. Suffolk Massachusetts Massachusetts Obama 47, McCain 38 (June: Obama 53, McCain 30) John Kerry, keep talking and I'm sure you'll help your buddy even more. Rasmussen Arizona McCain 52, Obama...
