Well would ya look at what the McCain camp has went and done now. In the midst of a very heated debate, John McCain once again goes and latches onto an issue, that in his mind, will justify what exactly "middle class America" will likely face in an Obama administration. As many of you have probably heard (and heard ENOUGH of) "Joe The Plumber" is trying to buy his employers business but questioned Obama on the tax "hike" he will face as his annual income will be over 250,000 dollars. McCain then went on to consistently slam Obama on his statement of "spread the wealth around".
Lets take a time out here and really take a look at this. First and foremost, McCain now has a supposed "figure head" of the definition of the middle class America, or do we? Well I think John McCain has to get a grip on what exactly the middle class really consists of, for starters, he might wanna actually use the words "middle class" in his debates. In the past three debates, you never even heard John McCain utter the words "middle class" at all. But now because of this unknown plumber he magically has his finger ont he pulse of middle class America. What type of reality do you live in John McCain? First off its admirable that this plumber has the start up capital to even have the option to purchase this business, but lets face facts here, not all of middle class America has enough money to pay their day to day bills let alone buy a plumbing business. Why doesn't that issue get brought up?
If you really wanna get a gauge of the middle class John McCain go find a man or woman that has to work two jobs just to be able to pay off the bills, put food on the table, and sustain a roof over their families head. Now that to me really says what the middle class represents. This situation can also be blamed on the media as well. All these networks have TV crews outside this mans home and hes even gone as far as holding his own press conference yesterday. Is this stuff for real people? Well if McCain has a bone to pick with Obama about using his phrase of "spread the wealth around" you might want to take a look in the background while "Joe the plumber" is on TV. What you saw was a very nice house, a new SUV in what looks like a pretty well to do neighborhood to me. You want to knock Obama for spreading the wealth around"? Hey McCain , get back in your jet and get back to Michigan and then come talk to me about spreading the wealth around. This Plumber loos like he has the wealth be able to hold down that nice house,car and and set up to me, now bring that mind set back to Michigan where the poverty level alone stands out over the number of nice homes and SUV's that the people in Michigan cant afford due to a flat lined employment future.
Well I'm going on the record today stating that this "Joe the plumber" ordeal needs to really be put to rest. This man in NO WAY represents me, and I consider myself the middle class. John McCain/Sarah Palin stop pretending you know what the middle class is like, stop pushing the fears that your campaign is desperately clinging to, to manipulate the real middle class that has already grown tired of you and your party's pandering.
From a middle class American Joe the plumber, go away, and John McCain and Sarah Palin, instead of smearing and pretending you know, pick up a newspaper and see that the middle class soon enough will no longer even be that if you are more interested in throwing accusations instead of focusing on actually what middle class needs and is loosing.

Same old Republican Strategy.. Fear, Fear, Fear
As the clock ticks down and more and more Americans are hearing the messages being brought up by the two candidates, only one can imagine why in the world John McCain and Sarah Palin are doing what they are doing. Well to be very honest, you really don't have to wonder a great deal on this. This recent strategy of John McCain, attacking Barack Obama on his character, all simply boils down to one very infamous Republican Strategy, the "Fear" campaign.
Let be honest here, the issues of the associations of William Ayers and Rev. Wright have all been brought out into the open plenty long ago. If memory serves me correctly wasn't this a hot topic during the bitter Primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama? Didn't Barack Obama condemn the Rev. Wright and disassociate himself from him? Wasn't Obama only a child when William Ayers went on his radical views and statements in the 60's? These questions have already been put to rest on behalf of the Obama camp and it was time to move on to the issues that matter most, the economy, job creation, and health care. But no, just when you think these issues have all been but a memory, here they come again, and this time it could be alot more dangerous.
In recent days, during John McCain campaign stumps, his little "pit bull" puppet Sarah Palin has considerably bashed Barack Obama and even went so far as to have a Sheriff (in full active uniform) call out Barack Obama's full name of Barack Hussein Obama, and tieing him to receiving monies for his campaign from Islamic groups. Now lets put the pieces of this pathetic campaign stump together here and see just what the feeble John McCain is up too. The awnser is very simple, he is trying to put in the minds of the older voters in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio that Obama is a "foreigner" and would be "scary" if he takes over the White House.
This probably sounds like crazy talk to many doesn't it? Well maybe not in the minds of the masses that come to a John McCain/Sarah Palin stump speech. All you have to do is listen to the crowds when they make these claims, and the scary thing is, their message is getting through to some people. Recently you can clearly hear a supporter at a campaign stump yelling out "kill him" and "terrorist" when the name of Barrack Obama is brought up. Now we hear that the McCain Camp does not condone this type of message during their campaign, but lets be honest here, this is what they were shooting for all along.
The Republican party has always used the "Fear Campaign" to get their messages across in the past. From the color code system for gauging impending the "terror threat level" all the way to Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and will give them to Bin Laden to strike the U.S. , this common principal of striking fear into the minds of the American people will always get them what they want. And now its reared its ugly head once again in the political field. Trying to link Barack Obama to terrorists by constantly repeating his name over and over again to the masses to invoke a hatred just to get them click the lever next to your name in the voting booth. In all reality, this latest stunt by the John McCain camp could prove to be a dangerous one at that. If the McCain camp keeps up with this "hate" motive and cleverly disguising it as a "question of Obama's character" some nut job out there will see this as an opportunity for a great tragedy.
John McCain you and your camp should publicly apologize for this latest pathetic attempt at discrediting Barack Obama.
So as the "hate" flies from the lips of the McCain camp, and the stock market crumbles away day to day, you have to ask yourself America, is this the type of leader we want in control of our country? A man that will loose his composure and resort to smearing a political rival or for that matter another world leader? A man that is ignoring the blatant fiscal problems that are apparent to us every day just because he's on record stating "he doesn't know enough about it?"
So you keep up with your message of "hate" McCain, your apparent showing of your true colors is now finally showing, funny thing is, haven't we've seen this type of character before? Lets see, slamming false accusations and leading a country to war, letting the economy spiral out of control after years of evidence this was gonna happen, all because " I wasn't aware?" Looks to me like yet another in the seemingly growing likenesses of John McCain and the lame duck himself, George Bush.
I don't know about you, but I am fed up with these failed policies and programs forced on us by Bush, and if elected, his older "twin" McCain will pick right up where he is going to leave off. Two Lame Ducks who rely on the "Fear" campaign is well enough for me.

John McCain, you have no right to verbally bash!
The Presidential race is in the home stretch, and the political mud-slinging is reaching a fever pitch. This weekend is proof positive, Presidential nominee John McCain, has changed his campaign strategy to attack Barack Obama on of all things, his character. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I heard of this latest attempt of breaking down the integrity of Barack Obama. If anyone should be reviewing their lack of integrity and character, John McCain should take a long long look in a mirror.
If memory serves me correctly, didn't the U.S Congress just recently pass an enormous economic "first aid" bill? But, not one week ago it fell flat right to the floor, overwhelmingly opposed and destroyed by the Republican party. What happened to the new "savior" to the faltering Republican party? Was he not supposed to bring together the Republicans and Democrats together on a political olive branch and get the economy back on track? Well this collaboration never even came to fruition, not even close to be very honest. More Republicans tucked tail and ran for the hills but yet we were told that McCain had brought the Republicans to the table on this and it would pass, well McCain you failed.
So here are we are a week later, the "Bail out rescue" is passed and signed now, so why is it that there's a bad taste here? Oh, that's right, the Republican party finally sucked it up and jumped on the bandwagon to pass this thing. Well what turned it around for them? It wasn't John McCain, it was in fact a familiar term, "Ear-marked, Pork barrel" projects, and they were even given a special name for the Republicans "sweeteners". In case you missed it, and you probably did, certain ear-mark pork barrel programs were NEEDED by certain Republicans in order for them to even put their names next to this proposed bill. Ok, these programs might actually be needed on behalf of the American people right? Hmmm, lets see what they are? Lets look at a few of the organizations that will be receiving tax breaks all in an effort to help benefit the passage of this bill: Film and Television Productions, Wooden Arrows designed for use by children, 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska, Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum, American Samoa , Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico , Auto Racing Tracks , Wool Research . Now factor these into the original bail out plan and now its not a 700 billion dollar plan its now over 800 billion dollars! And this what was needed for the Republicans to go along with this??
This should raise a very serious question with voters come November, isn't there a candidate who has been insistent on eliminating ear-marked pork barrel spending in Washington? Why yes there is, its John McCain. The same John McCain that said he would bring the party together, the same John McCain that said he would veto any ear-marked pork barrel spending bill that came across his desk if he were president, and the same John McCain that insisted that the "fundamentals of our economy were strong". So now I ask you, who is really going to be responsible for raising taxes for the American people given the track record of this "bail out" bill alone? Well the fingers should really point to John McCain. How can he be trusted now? He went against (once again) his own campaign promises, and he cannot even get the confidence of his own party!
Now in the few remaining weeks John McCain plans to attack Barack Obama on character. Basically trying to put doubt in the minds of the American people about Obama's distinctions.
You have got to be kidding me. John McCain actually has the guts to attack someone on this issue? McCain it's very apparent that your floundering campaign is on a desperate level, the American people are starting to see how weak your words are, how you only jump issues just because you're slipping in the polls, and how your VP pick is only a puppet with the ability to spew out pre-fabricated responses just to appease a base that has all but abandoned you.
So you go ahead and attack McCain, keep it up. Because while you're doing all the smearing, your opponent is going ahead with actual policy planning, assuring the American people on Jobs, Health Care, and the Economy. Aren't these the issues that really matter? Well looks as if John McCain should change his campaign slogan, "Putting the issues on the back burner.. Campaign First". Oh wait, does this seem like Deja Vu? That's right, there's someone already in the White House that already does that, looks like McCain and Bush really are alike after all.

Power Hungry Palin??
Well today is the aftermath of last nights much anticipated Vice Presidential debate. Listening to all the pundits this morning come out and praising Sarah Palin for yet another " knock out of the park" performance, as a person who intensely followed it, I didn't see how that was a home run so to speak. Most of the questions that the moderator asked were in essence deflected, dodging at the hip, and getting back to her "strong points" energy. A constant stare directly into the camera made Gov. Palin appear to be more of a "contestant" than a candidate. Most of her answers appeared to be "pre-determined" as is if she was over coached while being sequestered in Arizona leading up to this debate. Yes, there were significant blunders, but for some odd reason these are not making it in the lime light of media coverage. For starters, on the issue of Afghanistan, Gov. Palin got the commander for The Afghan conflict wrong. Palin twice called him McClellan, when in fact his name is General McKiernan. Maybe she should have been sequestered just alittle longer, because the fact that Gen. McKiernan said the ideals for a surge, like the in Iraq, would not succeed in Afghanistan. I Quote: "There is no magic number of soldiers that are needed on the ground to win this campaign, What we need is security of the people. We need governance. We need reconstruction and development". End Quote.
For such an important issue, you'd think the VP candidate would not get these facts dead wrong.
For those looking for "news-worthy" events that transpired in this debate I believe the most crucial, and most outrageous claim came from Sarah Palin herself. She laid a bombshell that she did not oppose the Vice President receiving more power when overseeing the Senate. This is the claim that should be receiving much more coverage than currently is! This claim is in direct contrast to what the Republican Party is all about! The ideas of the Republican party is to make the government "smaller" and have less of an impact on every day life for all Americans. The evidence is more than obvious as to who Sarah Palin was being coached by, reps from Dick Cheney. Its a fact that Dick Cheney is the most powerful and influential VP in recent history, this can be seen with the torture of prisoners, government only getting bigger and more influential in Americans lives, and over elaborate executive cover-ups with the leaking of secret CIA agents identities. And now Sarah Palin wants more power? I do hope I'm not the only one who will question this, yet another "stunt" on behalf of a quickly weakening Republican party that is loosing its appeal in the eyes of majority of Americans. Not to mention that fact of putting even more power in the hands of a woman who was all but unknown in the eyes of America before McCain picked her after one meeting with his aides. This is a virtual "red flag" that should be raised in minds of every American, this is exactly what is wrong the government ideals ever darkening the future of this country.
When John McCain says on his stumps that the "greed and corruption that runs Washington" is what is bringing the economy and this country down, he should really take a look at his own party and even worse, his own Vice Presidential pick. No wonder why McCain cannot wait to introduce Palin to Washington, because then the continuing take over and ever increasing power can continue. So, can Americans now truly say McCain and Palin are far different than George Bush and Dick Cheney, the awnser is an astounding NO. Both pairs are power hungry bureaucrats, under taxing the wealthy, and catering to big oil companies so thier own pockets can grow even more.
Well with this claim that seemed to fly over the heads of almost eveyone that watched last night debate, this can only mean one very important thing. The Republicans want more, a limited experienced supposed energy guru wants to change the US Constitution of the United States. What is wrong with this picture, I can only hope that the American people are not that "brain washed" due to pathetic leadership we've had to endure the last eight years. Keep this one last statement in mind people, More power is grounds for more problems.

A Headless Republican Party
Well what a day, if you watched any news events live today on any news network you had the opportunity to witness history. No, not the momentous events that bring a hearty feeling of joy and glee when one has the chance to watch a historic moment, but a virtual nightmare come true. Not only did we witness a United States President's national plan fall into the abyss of yet another executive day dream, but as a direct result of that we saw the stock market drop to an all time one days loss of 777 points. How things manage to spiral out of control is still a point of "he said, she said" tactics, but one thing is very plainly obvious, the Republican party is in a world of trouble, and losing the faith of the American populous.
Earlier this morning, we saw the President of the United States, George Bush, get on television and all but promise that the $700 Billion dollar buyout would pass the House of Representatives. We were all told that the Bush administration , John McCain, and House Republican leader Boehner, we in direct contact with at least 12 Republican voters and could guarantee this bill would pass. Well the clock ticked down to vote time and by the end of the day there was no passing vote. Why? Well come to find out that the "rock solid" republicans that were supposedly unified under their fearless leader George Bush and their Knight in shining armour John McCain went back on their "word" and voted overwhelming against the bill. This signals one thing, the Republican party has no leader.
And if things weren't already bad enough, shortly after the dismal failure of the potential life line to the almost flat lined American economy, the leader of the Republicans of the House, Boehner, stated in a press conference that if the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi didn't pass blame in a speech earlier in the day that this was the fault of the Republicans they might have just been on board with passing this bill. Is this stuff for real? Is this the time for partisan finger pointing? Or is just the fact that the Republicans have no true sense of direction for the financial security of the American people/economy. Now how can this be? Well its very apparent that we now have a a "Lame Duck" president in the White House, if this president cannot even gather up his own party members to come to an agreement on behalf of the American people/economy the future of the Republican party is very much (and well deserved) in jeopardy. One other example, the sheer political "stunt" of Presidential Nominee John McCain to suspend his campaign and return to Washington to rally the Republican troops and "reach across the isle" and get Democrats and Republicans to work together to solve this fiscal fiasco. Well his presence apparently has done wonders because this sad excuse for a Presidential Nominee has done NOTHING but boast that he was solely responsible for being the savior of saving the Bailout Bill. Well not even the next presidential hopeful McCain could pull his own party together, McCain this should be a slap in the face dose of reality for you. Not even your own party really care what you say.
So what does all this really mean? Well its more than obvious that the Republican party has no leader. Time is now ticking for the Republican party, no not for another bill, but for the patience of the American people. This is yet another huge let down on behalf of the Republican party to the already beleaguered people that have seen a war, bigger government, and now.. on the brink of a depression. Way to go Republicans, well, at least one thing is very clear. The Dems will have NO problem in the upcoming November election, and this is probably a good thing after all. From what I have seen the Republicans can no longer be listened too or trusted. They would rather complain about and change their vote because someone said something about them then actually protecting the lively hood of this country and its financial present and future.
So on election day, make your vote count, vote Democrat, at least the majority of them can actually vote what they say.. or at least when this country need it to happen. Its time for a well deserved change, I am fed up with Republican lies and misdirection. So follow these words Republicans, get out of Washington, you've let this country down for the last time.

The Republican Party...A let down to the people
Well here we are in yet another jam, no its not bullets flying, no its not even the fact that the Taliban is regrouping in Afghanistan, its the dreaded "E" word.. the Economy.
If you have paid attention to the news as of late, you may have noticed that the economy has not been to hot (and that's being over nice!). The unemployment rates have sky rocketed, the housing market is at record numbers for foreclosures, and banks, yes banks, are going into bankruptcy. All of these you've heard and read about day in and day out I'm sure, but what haven't you heard? Well if memory serves me correctly, there is still a "president" in that big white house on Pennsylvania Avenue even thou you wouldn't know it with all the back and forth attacks with the impending presidential election.
Well this should come as no surprise to the American people. President Bush, as usual, is acting like a toddler, hiding when you know you've done something wrong and you don't want your parents to find out. What a time to not make yourself available! As of this writing I'm awaiting a press conference by "Mr." Bush on the flailing economy crisis and we've already been told there will be " no mention of any new plans, policy changes " huh?? Why not??? You are the president,
the commander in chief, get out of your chair, stop knocking the Democrats, and DO something!
You were elected by the American people to "lead" us, to serve the best interest of the people in a time of crisis, well it looks there is certainly a crisis here! But No, you choose to pass the blame and sit back , cancel your trips so you can sit and watch your cartoons and eat your Ding Dongs while the American worker goes to bed not knowing if they will have their money in a solid bank when they wake up or even a job to go! Well Bush, we all see your strategy, just wait it out and let the next guy fix your screw ups.
But not to worry everyone, the next Republican hopeful duo, John McCain and Sarah Palin are here to the rescue.. or are they? Was it not just this week that John McCain got up in front of supporters at a rally and said " our economy is fundamentally strong " .. are you kidding me?
So whats McCain's bright idea to fix this issue? To start a commission to look into why this happened. This is gonna fix our economy? This is going to stop our borrowing money from China? This is gonna bring back jobs to the American people? No McCain it isn't. Its just a pathetic attempt for you to pretend you know what America needs.
Lets take a quick look at the last eight years our nations history. We have a Republican president who, lied to us and lead us all to an unjust war, made the US government LARGER by inventing the branch of "Homeland Security", and now, almost bringing our economy to the brink of collapse. Wow, how could one man screw all this up and go against your OWN party's belief to take the government out of eveyone's day to day life?
Now I know what some of you are saying, what about the Democratic controlled Congress? Well what not allot of people realize is how many bills and legislature they have passed and that went to the president for signing. So what happened to these? Well, they were vetoed by, you guessed it, the Republican president. So of course the Congress is going to get blamed for their lack of effort, but in reality the president sits there eagerly with his veto pen to strike down any idea brought to him by someone not in his political affiliation.
Well to sum all this up simply, the Republican party is a big let down to the American people. It's gleam in US history has been tainted by this current administration and has only brought the American standards down to an all time low. And if you think it will only get better with John McCain at the helm, well have to wait a long time to see what his brilliant "commission" will turn up. Yet another smokescreen by another Republican.

Misleading ads = Misleading Americans = Misleading the Future
As an American, you should really feel "duped" so to speak. Why you ask? Well just take a look at John McCains' latest onslaught of campaign ads his camp is currently running. To be quiet honest, they are very "sleazy" and very Carl Rove'esq tactics. The McCain camp once again trying to hit the underbelly of Moms' once again buy saying Barrack Obama supported sex education to children in Kindergarten. Now if you know anything about the facts of this program it was designed to teach children about sexual predators and how to indentify strangers.
How is this being considered a bad thing? Is John McCain so wrapped up in trying to brainwash the American people by making Obama out to be the most horrible person thats perverting our children and corrupting our outlook on what "changing" America really would look like?
Or is it the fact that McCain doesn't really know what is going on at all? Could it be McCain really does not care about the children, the future of this country? Maybe so, but its pretty clear that McCain will go to the extent of putting the safety of our children at risk just to gain the upper hand on gaining a few pathetic votes. If anything McCain should have come out in SUPPORT of this program! I am trully appalled by this ad, and im surprised more are not on pressing the issue as to why McCain went ahead and SUPPORTED this ad!! With all the sex offenders out there praying on young children you would think that a program like this would be touted as a Positive outreach to help protect the future of this country. But no, its run through the mud as just another smear, another way to grab the attention of the public and steer away the attention to your carbon copy policies of George Bush.
Shame on you John McCain, the children of this country should be protected, not put up for pollitical purposes. How about giving children and thier families better health care? Ohh thats right, we'll just follow your idea "let the insurance companies handle that." What a future kids have with you McCain. My hats off to Barrack Obama, at least he wants to protect the future of this country.. our children.
