you know your a politics addict when you anticipate the next poll! its sickening :D

Less Obama.

Just wondering what your opinion is about people who post vanities when their opinions could be posted to existing threads.

There is only a month left until our next President is elected; it is crunch time. I would like to urge all of you to do whatever you can to be involved and get good Republicans, Conservatives, Republican Conservatives, and even McCain leaning independents and moderates to get out and vote. Send out e-mails to everyone you know. Remind them to vote, remind them what’s at stake, let them know the truth about Obama. Visit your states’ GOP website (click here), and see what volunteer opportunities they have available. Talk to people at work, remind them to vote, clear up...

Funny how a few months changes everyone's perception on what will kill the economy. Little notice has been paid to the fact oil dropped under $90 a barrel today. I recall all the hand-ringing when the economy was going to tank because oil was $150 a barrel, people couldn't afford to drive, fly the sky was falling. As usual a majority of people over-reacted to the sharp rise of oil. I wonder how many people would rather have oil at 150-160 a barrel and not have the current fiscal problems. I know that part of oil's price decline is directly...

I have been a member here for ten years. I remember the days of REAL breaking news. Hannity and Fox are in the midst of an expose of Obama and we have nothing posted.

The rise and fall of our housing market and how did it happen? This is a very high level overview of the pertinent facts. Ok we have heard a lot of talk back and forth on what caused the problems that led to the economic meltdown this year. We have heard that it is both party's fault and that the Democrats share the blame equally with others. Additionally people want you to believe that Glass-Steagal is the main cause here. What I am going to try to do is provide the core facts of this scenario all the way back...

Watching the obligatory skit (a replay of the VP debate). They are dogging out both candidates equally. Actually, the opening skit is pretty good.

OJ Simpson was finally found guilty for something he did; kidnap his own stuff at gunpoint. 13 years to the day the infamous "Not Guilty" verdict was read to a nation on the cliff, he faces 5 years in prison. I agree with this verdict, but something has crossed my mind: did the previous events 13 years ago have any bearing on this case? Different crimes, same high profile person. Could the jury really be unbiased? Everyone was talking about him 13 years ago; even my 8 year old self was stuck watching the trial with my grandfather. Did the...

I'm the least articulate person on the earth. Yet does it take myself to inform the McCain campaign that Obama hasn't run as much as a 5 cent Lucy and Linus Lemonade stand? Is it too much for McCain to have a couple of paid staff to monitor this site for smarter thoughts than his staff has? Here is a campaign ad. “America who would you rather have run this country.. A Navy Captain and City Mayor, or two unsuccessful Lawyers?

Today Palin stuck hard on Ayers, and Obama has called it an "act of desperation"... Team McCain must put out a statement before tomarrow... 1. Detail how Obama has lied about his associations. 2. Ask the rhetorical question, would the media be forgiving about McCain's friendship with an abortion bomber? How would they judge this? 3. Detail what Obama actually did when he was associated with Ayers? He failed at school reform pushing nonsense and gave money to an anti-Israeli palestinian(woods fund)... 4. Hit back on the "swiftboat" meme with "astroturf". Detail some of Axelrods work, detail how he used...

With one month to go before we chose a President, a lot of tricks can be pulled. However, this year, we may be facing a possible pre-election attack on Iran, or even a terrorist attack. Step right up and make your prediction.

Here's a vanity post, put out there in hopes of illumination. It strikes me that there's been a major financial crisis every 50-70 years in the US, and similar crisies in English history. Of course, that statement depends on how one defines a "financial crisis," but, putting that definition aside, it does seem that something happens on a pretty cyclical basis every other generation or so. It might be that each financial crisis occurs as the young men who lived through the last crisis die off, taking their experience with them. For example, it appears we're just living through the...

That’s right - a whore! And Senator John McCain did nothing defend her! I’m talking about my Republican party - the GOP. Obama and the other Democrats laid the blame of this financial mess at the feet of my GOP - calling her an outright whore. And John McCain didn’t hit back with the vengeance of someone protecting the reputation of his mother. He barely uttered a whimper. If he claims to be a member of the family, I expect him to defend her from this most vial lie. I do not want this Democratic engineered sub-prime mess associated with...
