What is going on with our Major Media? Ever since the National Conventions, and the Obvious Kick in the teeth that Senator Obama got, and yes I am speaking of Senator John McCain’s pick, Governor Sarah Palin, Our Media in this country does not like the idea that there is the possibility that there is a woman in the co-pilot seat. Why? They were quite happy and down right enthused when the possibility of Senator Hillary Clinton being Obama’s Second in Command. Isn’t that the same thing that we are talking about? Moreover, why is this a problem for the Democratic people? Namely Our Major Media. First off there are some in reporting that just wont come to the Realization that she is a Sitting Governor. We all know she was a Mayor and I am not sorry to know that. That is where she started to get some of the experience. Moreover, I think she did a good job there, but where is all of the positive reporting from ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC about all of the positives on what Governor Palin has done. Heck, guys and gals, she cut her government as mayor and made things easier for Wasilla. Ok so why doesn’t the Major media have anything nice to say about that. The Attack squad of Senator Obama, a band of 30 lawyers has been combing Alaska searching for all of the dirt that they can muster up on her. And everything that they find and it doesn’t have to be fact, The Major Media, reports on it But doesn’t even check on whether what they are reporting on is fact or not. How fair is that. The American People are watching this, and Frankly the Republicans are loving it. Governor Sarah Palin is one of the Good Guys. Moreover, someone please tell me how a Governor gets Earmarks. I have heard and I know to a point how this works, but that is done in the Senate and the House, not in a State by a Governor. I love to see how Senator Obama and honestly he is tearing his hair out about this, how Obama is on the Attack and how he will not even say that or give her the acknowledgement that she is said Governor. Nevertheless, he does not want to even acknowledge that he is a Senator anymore. He has started some of his answers to questions he has been asked like “When I was a Senator I” and goes on with the answer. Why is that? Why is it that it seems that he thinks that he is the Anointed one. I am sorry Barry that does not cut the mustard. Ok, maybe he sometimes slips, but why hasn’t the Major Media noticed it. It is clear and it is obvious when he does this. Getting back to the Attack Squad, Obama sent the Attackers on Senator Clinton and no one wanted to say anything about that, but in Clinton’s case, at least he gave her the Respect of calling her Senator. In addition, Shame on these Media types for bringing up Family Matters and you all know what I am talking about in Governor Palins family. Never have I seen Major Media pounce on Candidates children as they did on a story on her children. I am sorry to see reporting like this. Let us get to the Chase. It seems that major media has decided on who we vote for People. We the People have got to stand up for ourselves. If we don’t, all we are going to listen to and believe is the redirects of crap that we hear and then are we going to investigate? I thought we were supposed to believe in our news sources to be UN biased. Excuse me? I do not think that Major Media, with its Democratic leanings are doing their job. Moreover, Reporting? Most are just going off on someone else’s addenda. That is my opinion. Have a great day ___________________________________________________________ Tell us what is on your mind, and I know as We the People there is a lot on your mind. I do check up on what you have to say and publish them, good bad or otherwise. However, I do want to know whether we are doing a good job. Without We the People, this Country is not going to go nowhere. So comment and comment often.

 Good Morning from what I will call Semilife Central. Escanaba, Michigan. I am looking at this new and interesting view as the sun comes up and the birds are chirping away over Little Bays De nock and thinking to myself just what has happened on the Republican side of this political race. We have John S McCain. This Maverick as he has been saying he is, Being one of President Ronald Reagan’s crew, is looking at this country that we want so much to be the “City on the Top of the Hill”, as it once was, brings to us someone that is fresh and a fresh idea to all. On the other hand, We The People have Obama and Biden, and if you have not looked at any of the other articles on the Democrats, research it and you will find that both of them are the first and third most Liberal Candidates of the democratic side. Wow… Talk about going to the Extreme! Research this all and you might see where I am coming from, and yes this is my opinion, and yes, I am not going to be Politically Correct, so if your looking for that, well you have come to the Wrong place. I am a Red Blooded American. Through and Through, and understand that I want this Country Back to being That light that shines. So. McCain has brought Sara Palin. Someone that pretty much the Major Media has almost never said anything about down here in the lower 48 states that I have heard of. In addition, I ask myself, why? First this Woman, and I love this idea, is someone that Runs a Government. Has anyone looked at the size of the state of Alaska? I was listening this morning to Meet the Press, and I heard on there in an interview with the Governor of Minnesota, Tom Brokaw say that Alaska was Small? I think Tom needs to go to Alaska and find out just how small that state is. Heck, Obama does not even acknowledge that Mrs. Palin is even the Governor in one of his first Statements when she was revealed as John McCain’s choice for Vice Presidential Nominee. Why is that? Why it is that Obama does not want everyone to know that she Runs a Government? In a short Period of time, Sara Palin has taken on the Big Boys of the state. When Sara Palin was brought into the office of the Governor, this Gun toting, Hockey playing mother of five children took the Governors Jet, and put it on the Auction block on E-bay. How Cool. She looks at our 2nd Amendment and loves it. Sara Palin is a member of the N.R.A. Not only is she someone that I love to see as a spitfire in Government, but we need more people, more men and women like her as governors, as Senators and as Congresswomen in Government. Yeah, she does bring some baggage, but you know what? She is being investigated and it will come out in the wash that her sister’s husband, who was a State trooper, went through a Nasty Divorce and did some rotten things. Now no I do not know exactly what happened and frankly, I do not care. If he did what I have read he did, then he needed to be fired. So, Governor Palin asked the Commissioner to fire him and if he did not he should have on the spot. However, she did not like what the Commissioner said and I think fired him too. SO WHAT? She is a Maverick. Just like McCain. She is a mother of five kids, and she juggles them and a Government. More power to her. She believes in life first. Awesome. She has been a Governor for 2 years. If Barry Obama, and yes I am going to call him Barry until someone proves us wrong. If Barry thinks that Sara being a Governor does not give her the experience or qualify’s she to be Vis-President, then he needs to bow out because He Has No Experience to do Squat. Plain and simple. Senator McCain, if you go back and remember, His Campaign came back from the Depths of pretty much Disaster to being the Republican Presidential Nominee. This is Awesome. Why? Because he stands for Country first. Now, do not get me wrong. I do not believe in Everything that he stands for. However, what I do agree with is that he principals have been up front and honest. Am I going to write nothing but good about him? NOPE. I do not agree with this idea Amnesty, but for now, I say this. He has brought a Great Woman with Experience and a Spitfire into this political race. Something that is good. In addition, something that needs to be looked at and Applauded. Good job John.

He tells people that his father was a goat herder. NOT EXACTLY. He was actually a privileged, well-educated youth, who went to work with the Kenyan Government. His father was NOT a proud freedom fighter. He part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had. Mr. Obama also tells people that his family has strong ties to African Freedom-NOT EXACTLY-his cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It was the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and de-establish "Muslim Sharia Law." Obama's half brother Abongo Obama is Odinga's follower. Obama's cousin Odinga ran for President in Kenya and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When he lost the elections, his followers burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian Church where they had taken shelter. Obama Supported his cousin before the election process here started. Google "Obama and Odinga" and see what you get. "My Grandmother has always been a Christian". NOT EXACTLY. She he does her daily Salat prayers at 5 a.m. according to Her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity would not allow her to have been one of 14 wives to one man. “I have never practiced Islam,” Claims Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You practiced it daily at school where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made YOU CHANGE, SO YOU COULD RUN FOR OFFICE. 4-3-08 Article Mr. Obama was quite religious in Islam. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageld=60559 “My school in Indonesia was Christian” Claims Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic studies for making faces (check your own book). February 28, 2008 Kristoff from New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, recited them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated, “it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks”, Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” “I was fluent in Indonesian,” Says Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. Not one teacher says you could speak the language. “Because I lived in Indonesia I have more Foreign Experience,” Says Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You were there from ages six thru 10, and you could not even speak the language. “I am stronger on Foreign Affairs,” Says Obama. NOT EXACTLY. Except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), he has never been anywhere else on the planet and thus has NO experience with our closest allies. “I blame my early drug use on ethnic confusion” Claims Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You were quite content in high school to be BARRY Obama. Your classmates said you were just fine. “I won't run on a National Ticket in 2008”. NOT EXACTLY. Yet, here you are despite saying live on TV, which you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first. I wrote a tough nuclear bill. NOT EXACTLY. Your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation rejected your bill. I have re-released my state records-NOT EXACTLY-as of March, 2008 state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within. My economics bill will help America-NOT EXACTLY-your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal, which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill. “I passed 26 of my own bills in one year”. NOT EXACTLY. They were not your bills. A fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office, handed them to you after their creation. “I passed 900 bills in the State Senate”. NOT EXACTLY. You passed 26, most of which you did not write yourself. “I want all votes to count” Said Mr. Obama time after time after time on the Primary Campaign trail. NOT EXACTLY. You said let the delegates decide. “I believe in fairness not tactics,” Said Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you. “I don't have any Lobbyists” Claims Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. You have 47 and counting. “My Campaign had nothing to do with the 1984 Ad,” Said Mr. Obama. NOT EXACTLY. Your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon. The list is endless on why we do not need this man running our Country. Let us make our votes count for U.S. Our rights and our freedoms. We The People need to let the candidates know what we want. We expect the to keep ALL of their campaign promises, and keep our Country free. Well, I do think that made me think just about what is going on with the Democratic side of things. That does not take into effect the past dealings with Reverend Wright and all of his teachings in the past 20 years. Nor does this take into account Mr. Obama’s Ideas of Taxing Every Business known to man so that he can give us Universal Healthcare, or This $1000.00 Energy Credit. Well, I think I will leave those subjects alone for now.

Now this is my opinion, and probably only my opinion, but isn’t it time for We The People to take back what is rightfully ours. I remember and I know a lot of us do, when we were young and in Elementary school and even Junior High and even High School, having to say our Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag. The United States Flag. Does anyone else remember this? Does anyone else remember how we all felt back then? Probably. I do not think we honestly understood the meaning of what we were saying, or the meaning behind it. Let us look at this, really think about what we do have and what a Few lawyers, and people that really do not like freedom want to take away from U.S. In reading a website about Our Pledge of Allegiance, I came up with something that I do think that We The People should keep in mind. I am taking this right from that website.
Now why does the A.C.L.U. Want to make it so that our children do not have to or need to say this first thing in the morning. The American Civil Liberty’s Union Certainly is not doing anything for Americans. No, instead, they are taking away our Civil Liberty and this makes no sense to me whatsoever. Does this make sense to anyone in this country? To the American People I ask this question. Why is it that a few people in this country can change something that has been an institution in our schools without the Authority of the rest of U.S.? In 1892 and since then there have been changes three other changes made because the American People thought that those changes were necessary with the final change being done when President Dwight D Eisenhower made the final on Flag Day in 1954. It was included in the Flag Code (title 36) in June of 1942. So why when congress includes it, does a bunch of lawyers decide that it goes against the Constitution? Does this matter to anyone other than me? Well I do think so because it happens to be in our court system right now. However, I do not think that our courts have the right to overturn a Congressional Act. I could be wrong, but unless We The People gets into gear, we are going to lose something that a few Not So Good Men want to change. If we do not start telling Congress and the Senate what We The People, the people that really put them into office, how we feel, and then it is going to be our fault that things keep going in the wrong Direction. We also need to let them know it is their job to do what we want them to, not what they think needs to be done for us. Sharon Herro, one of my astute colleagues had this to say about this article and I thought am thankful for her input: I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands One Nation Under GOD with Liberty and Justice for all. I said this pledge every morning in grade school, there were no students complaining that they were being forced to do this. We all held our hands over our hearts and recited together.Now the ACLU is telling us that we are forcing children to say this pledge and making them believe in GOD. No we are not!!! America is home of the free land of the brave right? The ACLU needs to fight for our rights to say our Pledge, stand and take our hats off to respect our Flag, to say Merry Christmas not just Happy Holidays, They need to protect our rights as Americans to enjoy our freedoms that our uniformed men and women fight for. The ACLU is changing the rules for the few and not the many. They listen to one person complaining and change our rights to suit that individual. What about our rights? They do not have to say the Pledge if they do not want to, but at least stand and be respectful to those of us who do. If they are that unhappy here with our laws and what have you, then by all means go live somewhere else and see how many rights you have. But leave my rights alone. Your rights stop where mine begin. Let the ACLU ponder that. When we go into another country we are expected to respect their laws and right, why cannot they do the same for us and quit trying to change our country to be like theirs.Without We the People having anything to say about things, then the way that I look at it, we might not have our freedoms if We The People let organizations like the American Civil Liberty’s Union, others decide what freedoms, and liberty is that we are going to have. http://www.homeofheroes.com/hallofheroes/1st_floor/flag/1bfc_pledge.html--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a comment to make on this, please let us know how you feel about this, or any other articles that you may have an opinion on. We here are very interested in knowing what is on The Peoples mind. Leave a comment in the comments section. Good, Bad or indifferent we would like to know how you feel.

Now then, I can see wanting to do an auction on things that are property. Homes, cars, boats and furniture. That is something we can all agree with. And I think that everyone can agree with that as well. But, I have a real problem with selling your job. Of course, if you don’t like the job that you have, then I can understand if you want to leave it, but, to sell it like a used car? Com on now please? Salesman selling Job.. “Hey man, this is a one of a kind job. Built from the ground up by professionals. This job comes equip with ten years of my life. It has a desk with a chair,phone and computer with screen included. It has a 401k attached to it (don’t forget, if he is selling the job, the retirement comes with it). Also I am throwing in my boss. Nicest Woman you ever met.” Authors note: I am a truck driver if you didn’t know or realize . I wonder how much I could get for my job.. You know. The truck, the Corporate awesome office space along with all the dispatchers and personnel. Don’t forget the boss as well as all of that stuff included in that. Wonder what he would have to say about that. If I could only do it I might make a good hunk of money.. To think this guy, even in the auction, decided to throw his friends in the mix. Doesn’t his friends have a say in this? Doesn’t their vote matter in this? Well, I do believe that my friends, and you know just who you are, Would be a little upset if I thought in my own mind that they were my property. That would make them slaves. And I know one thing. My friends are not slaves. But I think I want to dream about this for a minute. An auction “Hello all and Welcome to Bobs U.P State auction, brought to you by, Well,, yours truly, and so lets start the bidding. We have the lovely Jane Doe, (If you really think I am going to use real names, you have to be crazy. My life is more important than that). She stands 5 Foot 2 inches, Brunette and one dreamy beauty. She is 23 and Very lovely. ( I bet you I could get 20.00 for her) STOP!!!!! Doesn’t this seem a little ridiculous to you, because it does to me.. Come on, this is only a dream sale. Seriously, if someone is going to sell something, sell something of value that you own, not someone you don’t. We sell people on auctions to make money for charity only with their skills, not for their friendship and Lady’s and Gentlemen, I am NOT going to sell my friends. Who does this guy think he is? They are what I have and what I treasure most of all. Without friends, you are very lonely, and I truly Hate to be lonely. That would be depressing. A few (Im going to get into trouble for this) of them are invaluable and Priceless. (Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back, void where prohibited..) I hope that this is prohibited Everywhere because if it is not, then We are going to see all sorts of people trying to sell you or I and I don’t want to be sold to someone I don’t know. Maybe bought by someone I do, but that is for another article. The point I am trying to make is this: Are we that sad in our lives and desperate for change, that We The People of the world would want to even contemplate this? Are we that Bored with our own lives and have so much money, So much time that we can afford not to look at what we really have and treasure it? Look at what is wrong here at home? In Our communities, and our countries. I mean, I know that we are busy people and have busy lives, But, We The People are trying to find change in all sorts of ways. But to sell our jobs and our friends? What is next? We are already selling our country short by not paying attention. I wonder, if my friends would mind if I just pimped them out. I DO THINK THEY WOULD.When was the last time that you looked to see who was buying your country, Or, for instance what your country was being sold for? Do you even know, Or Care? Don’t get me wrong, I am all for the pursuit of happiness, but selling something like friendship is like Selling Your Right Hand.. I wouldn’t do that for ANY reason. No way. I am Left handed, but without my Right hand, there would be a whole lot of things I could not do. And I would Definitely do without a Great Deal. Plain and simple. If we don’t start knowing who is running for The United States Congress for instance, what are we going to do when we don’t know what they stand for. When we go to pull that lever on Elections day, We The People need to know what they are going to do with their terms. Our Major Media doesn’t tell us, So who is going to? Ask if you don’t know. We have more important things to look at, Read about, And to worry about. Like the border security. Social Security Health Care, and the like. Can We The People Afford To Keep the Government in control of this and not in the hands of The People? Questions like What in the world are we going to do about Gas Prices, Food Costs and the like. We The People have to start getting informed about the Issues and Call Congress and the Senate. Every Monday. Every Third Day. And Every Friday. Because if we don’t, we will lose. Do you all realize that for Every Call to our Congressman and Woman or our Senators, They feel that 100 People are behind that one subject? What does that mean if they get 100 phone calls on that one thing? You do the math. Now that is Powerful. That means that We The People should Carve out a few minutes and Call Them. The Switchboard to Both United States Houses. Congress And Senate: 202-224-3121 All you have to do is to let the operator know where you live and what city. It is that simple. With the Voice of The People, There can be Change. But the choice is yours. Without your voice my friends, Lady’s and Gentlemen, The Lobbyists’ Win, not The People. And that my friends Shouldn’t be happening in America. If you like what you are reading, please leave a comment. I go through all of them and frankly, It is because of you that I am here. Without this Great Nation, I don’t have a reason to be. Tell me how you feel and what you think needs to be done. I will put it up if it is good. Positive or negative, I want to know what is on your mind. So please Comment and Comment often. Without Us caring there will be no Great U.S.A Period.

  First off, I as an American Citizen am not saying that The American People should not be heard. Michigan and Florida residents and voters should be counted in a way, but the only way for them to be counted honestly is for the vote to be redone.
Ask yourself this. By the Democratic rules that were set into place a long time ago, and considering that by the party rules and what Both states were told before the primaries were changed, Both candidates knew that this was going to come to pass. Just because there is a problem now, with the race so close, now Senator, Mrs. Hillary Clinton, is crying and saying that these votes should count. Earlier in the year On a New Hampshire Radio Talk show though, Mrs. Clinton said herself that and I quote “Michigan Does Not Count”. So now she is FLIPFLOPPING. Hmm. Very interesting.
So even though neither Senator campaigned in Florida they want the delegates? Hmm. Real interesting. Donna Brizile, DNC RULES AND BYLAWS COMMITTEE MEMBER (DC) and uncommitted Super delegate Said in part of her comments“ My mama always taught me to play by the rules. When you decide to change the rules, at especially, middle of the game, end of the game, that is referred to as cheating.” Michigan Democrat Carl Levin, A senator from my own state defending why Michigan decided to change the date of the primary saying in part That “ We (Michigan) were not going to sit around for another decade or two, while one or two states insist that they have a God Given Privilege to go first. Now he does have a point, but that still Doesn’t Give
Michigan the Right in the year that the primary is to be held to change the date on that year. They could decide to do this change and made it effective for the Next Primary and there would have been no problem. For either state to be crying Foul at this point in the game is preposterous. I mean hey, Both Governors of Michigan were warned that this would happen. They both were told that if the primary dates were changed that those delegates would not count. So then why the Democratic Party decides to go back on their word and changed the rules that the party put into effect. Because Hillary is crying foul? Or is it because the party Chair can’t take the heat.. Well I know this is not the last we are going to hear about this. And I am not even in the party. Just seems that the American People have got to take control once again. Have a Good day.

 Well, n the last few days, if you havent been watching thenews or have been hiding under a rock, The Democratic party has done it again. Changing the rules mid-stream isnt a good thing and should make ALOT of people upset if not Mad as Hell. Why? Lets look at why and let you be the judge on this. Lets go back to the beginning when the whole primary thing was going on and getting set-up nearly a Year before it usually happens. States were told that if they wanted to Change or up their dates for their primaries, then The States would be Penalized by the States Delegates not being Seated for that primary. Thus causing whoever wins the primary in that state to not be counted. Ok, sounds fair. Fair unless you are Senator Clinton, because she is having fits because Michigan and Florida did just that. Those two states went and set thier primaries ahead of schedule. Claiming that they wanted to set it ahead from now on, they claimed that they wanted to become more important during the parimay process. Well The Democratic Party said to them and Warned them. Michigan didnt care whether or not obviously their delegates were to be seated because they didnt listen. Hmmm. Sounds funny and did at the time.
Senator Clinton decided to run for the primary in both states, where Senator Obama, as well as Senator Edward decided not to seeings that Michigan and Florida werent going to count neither Obama or Edwards ran in Michigan. Now Why all of the sudden are the rules on the Brink of changing? What, Because Hillary is behind? Does The Democratic party think that we all arent watching or care. WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD!!! I am not trying to say that the people of Michigan or Florida should feel angry about this. I mean come on, if they were mad, they should have been mad at the Democrats in those states for telling the States that They arent going to cound in the first place. But now that both of the Candidates are as close as they are, This is no time to be changing the rules. Dont think that Senator Clintons camp didnt have anything to do with this. On the contrary, I think, In my opinion, she had Everything to do with it. She knows that there is no way to win without Both states involvement and she thinks that presuring the Party on the rules should work. IT SHOULDN'T.
If the American people let this one go, then what are our Congress and Senate going to think. This is an outrage. Dont you think so. I mean when a team loses a basketball game, does the loosing team go to the referee and say, "hey Mr. Ref, I know my shot didnt go through the basket, but it should count so the score isnt so bad"? I dont think so. So then why when the states of Michigan and Florida dont get counted is it any different. If Hillary gets her way and wins the Nomination, then were is the Fairness or anything like that come into play? You tell me. Let me know how you feel. Leave a comment and I will be reading it. Have a Great Day.

First of all, let’s get one thing straight. This is Not a farewell to the man that some call Teddy. This is my opinion on a man that has done a hell of a lot of good for this country and that is part of a family that has been an Icon to this great nation of ours. Now is not the time to talk politics. Now is honestly the time to take a moment, and ask our heavenly father, the God that this country trusts, to put his hand on this man, and to heal him by his All Mighty Grace and help Ted Kennedy through his hour of need. You see my friends, when someone has a Brain Tumor, We as Americans should rally to a mans needs. To help him if only in prayer because it could be Any one of us that is in this position. Think about it… Here is a Family that has given their lives to this nation. A family that has given us a President, Three Senators and he, Ted Kennedy is the last in this great Generation to survive so much throughout the years, that it is only fitting that we as American People take time to reflect the good that Ted has done and give thanks to god that we have people who do actually care about this country. No, I do not know the man personally, nor am I going to try to make it seem like I know half of what he has done. No, but I do know that this family has dedicated their lives to making sure in their own way that this great nation has a chance to do what is right for this world. “Ask Not what your country can do for you, But What you can do for you country.” Those Infinite words were spoken By Ted Kennedy’s brother, President John F. Kennedy in a speech that for all intents and purposes, should be just as important as the quote that we all love so dearly. Sure, Ted has made mistakes in the past, but who in the human race hasn’t should be the question. Ted is a champion in the realm of healthcare for the Senior Citizens not to mention the rest of Us Americans. He has purpose and a real meaning in the United States Senate. He Doesn’t stay in there for the money, but to make a difference for this country. Why else would the voters in the state of Massachusetts vote continuously to keep Kennedy where he is. The man is a legend, and Icon in The Senate and We The People of These United States should be thankful to Ted Kennedy for the work that he has done and continues to do for not only the people of Massachusetts, but for the people of the United States of America! What can you do, you ask? Send a prayer to Our Heavenly father that God heals Ted and lets Ted Kennedy keep fighting the good fight. That is what you can Do For Your Country. Have a Great day, and God Bless Ted Kennedy.

 On the road again in canada. Been listening to my xm Satalitie radio and I get to where i can stop and see what is going on online, and what do i come to? A video on The former president Crying on how unfare it is for the states of Michigan and Florida, who are not being counted in the primary vote. Exuse Me Mr. Former President, but RULES are RULES. Lets look back at just what happened and maybe you will understand and put the blame on where it counts. The State legistlatures of Michigan and Florida.
When the last exlection happened, Michigan and Florida had dates for their respective primarys and have had those dates, Those slots in the primary for years if not Decades. So why in the world did both the legistlatures of Michigan and Florida decide to Change the dates and up the times when their primaries were? Because they (The States) didn't think that they mattered as much if the states would have kept their slots.
The States were also warn'd that if they changed the dates and up'd the timeline on their respective primay, that there was going to be a very big chance that those delegates from those states would not be seated. Well the state legistlatures as well as the Governor's of Michigan and Florida decided to change the dates anyway. The states were warned Mr. Former President. The Democratic party has rules and the democratic party is going by those rules. So why Mr. Clinton are you WYNING? Because Senator Clinton is Behind? Or is it that you now see the light dimming on the chance of the Two of you becomming Co-Presidents? I dont understand sir.
With All due respect, you need to be able to follow the rules. The States as well need to know that they need to follow the rules and when you don't follow the rules, that there are consequences. Hey Senator Obama seen the writing on the walls and knew that Taking on Michigan and Florida was going to be a mute point and he didn't campaign in Michigan, heck his name wasn't even on the ballot. You don't hear him WYNING about it do you? No, you don't because he knows how to play by the rules, at least to some degree..
You sir have had your time. So quit Wyning about something that should not, must not and if the Dmocratic party plays by it's own rules, will not happen. I know the race is close, but shouldn't you talk about more positive things instead of crying over spilt milk or something that you can do Nothing about? This is just my opinion and heck, I am not even a Democrat, but honestly sir, I just don't like seeing a Grown man Wimper about something that He Should not, Must not, And cannot change. Even when it comes to his wife. Senator Hillary Clinton. Hopefully you and Mrs. Clinton will see that your time in the limelight of Election 2008 is about over, and you can now see that you have got to stop the fighting within your own party. But hey, That is just my OWN opinion. Im sure though, that Alot of American People are also tired of it as well.
Have a great tuesday.

Now, there again I am Not Affiliated nor do I represent myself to be a Democrat OR Republican. I am an Independent Citizen of these United States. Like many of you, I want what is right for this country to be the free nation that our founding fathers intended it to be. A Republic, for which it stands. One nation, Under God, inadvisable, With Liberty and Justice for all. Part of the pledge of Allegiance. Something most of us I bet have forgotten about. When I was a kid, we used to say the pledge each and every day in our classrooms. I do believe that most of the Senate as well as the House of Representatives say the pledge before business every day but I could be wrong about that because I am not there. But what I do know and have seen, as many of us have on the T.V. , is that Senator Barack Obama seems to be a little different in this department. First off, why is it that this man does not wear a flag pin? I haven’t really gotten an answer on that question but leads me to believe that he doesn’t want to be a big part of this country. He goes to church right? Well, I can say he does but what kind of religion he believes in is another story. Barack Obama goes to church. YES, he does. But the man that Senator Obama and his family have been listening to for 20 years or so have been the one and only Reverend Wright. You all know who I am talking about. Now we have all seen his rants or should I say sermons on what is going on in this country. But HELLO?? Have we seen just what he has been preaching? Well yes we have. Talk show Hosts such as Glenn Beck and Shaun Hannity have shown us a sermon. An entire sermon on I do believe a Palm Sunday. Now when Reverend Wright did this sermon he sounded as if he didn’t like, NO he hated America. In his Words, “GOD DAMN AMERICA was spoken a few times. Does a Reverend, a man of God speak like that and use The lord’s name in vain and call himself a man of God? And that was just one sermon, and I give him that. But one sermon likes that, and I know that most Americans would have left that church a long time ago. Senator Barack Obama hasn’t left YET.. Oprah Winfrey, the lovely and Wonderful woman that she is left that church 2 years after she started going there. SHE SEEN THE TRUTH.. Why doesn’t Senator Obama? God only knows. Now his wife Michelle Obama has been on the road campaigning for her husband. Sounds about Wright. And I didn’t misspell that one because that is exactly what she sounds like in a very big way. She doesn’t sound very uplifting at all in her speeches. It sounds like she is all worried about how us White people have and are Still treating black America. Well, this I don’t understand. Affirmative Action, which should be taken away I thought done a good job at helping the Black American. For that is what they are. I don’t see color when I look at a black man or woman. Personally I see the person inside. Good or bad. That man or woman is a person and that is it. Anyone and I do mean ANYONE can be around me 24/7/365 and I am not going to look at them any different. So why are or should we be worried on what Senator Barack Obama stands for? Plain and simple.. Looks like the shadow of Marxism in his background. He like Hillary Clinton wants Universal Healthcare. Socialism right there in black and white. I don’t want My Government telling me When I can go to the doctors or How long I need to wait for a Surgery. I don’t want my Government telling me that I have got to call them and beg them to take my child to the doctor or the Hospital. But that is what will happen with Senator’s Obama and Clinton’s plans on Healthcare. We The People Used to be Independent. This used to be an Independent Nation. Where if there was a problem, We took care of it. Where We kept and eye on what our politicians were doing in Washington. And if We seen something wrong, We got on the phone and Raised three kinds of Cain until Our voices were heard. Now days We are too busy. We are more worried about what We are going to have for dinner or what We are going to do that evening. We are watching what Mainstream Media wants us to know and NOT what is really going on in this country. We need to get back to Basics. We need to know what is going on and We need to call our congressmen and women and Our Senators and Speak LOUDLY on What We the People want. Not what They the Government think We need. Call your Congressmen and women. Call your Senators as well as your State Representatives and Tell them what you want to see. This country is STILL WE THE PEOPLE unless We give up. U Congressional desk where you can ask for your congressmen or women is 202-224-3121. If you don’t know who they are then tell them where you live and they will get you to the right people. Then get hold of your Senators in the same manner. If we don’t stand up and take control, then We the People wont matter. That is the only way that we matter is when We the People Speak. Everyone have a Great Day and GOD BLESS THESE UNITED STATES..

I mean come on now. Neither one of them have the experience to take control of this nation. Really? Do you feel different? Ok, tell me how you can be the First Lady over 10 years ago and tell the American People that you have experience to take on the Greatest job with the most difficult of decisions when you have not even in all honesty, done a single thing when it comes to foreign policy? And on the other hand, How does Barack Obama think that he has better qualifications? He had a mother and father and a Grandmother. Yippy!! He came from a poor home. That qualifies Half of the nation right there. One big Negative is that Reverend Wright is nothing more than a person with a lot of Hate Speech. I mean if you go to glen Beck’s website, Now, on the other side Hillary Clinton is no different. She doesn’t have the experience either. When William Jefferson Clinton was our President, he did some good for this nation. Plain and simple. He didn’t touch the economy and honestly we prospered. A lot of us did well. Ok. Cool. He also did A LOT of wrong. Giving over secrets and national treasures that we should be holding dear to our hearts and vests, in my opinion is not doing our nation good kills our country and endangers our way of life. Hillary was right in the middle of it. I am just touching the surface on what has really happened with the first Clinton white house. Between that and All of the so called Suicides that happened around Bill and Hillary, it is a wonder why America even wants her now. Now, with all that is at stake here, with our economy in a slow state to say the least, why in the world do we want to even contemplate having either one of these candidates even in the running? Simply put my fellow Americans, we are in trouble. We need someone like Ronald Reagan to be in the White House. Someone who is going to look Evil in the eye and not back down and No one on the roster including Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama on the Democratic side is going to make the cut. Have a Great Day..

  I bring this question up because I have been inundated with this whole Campaign thing and I know that everyone else has, but i know i am sick and tired of hearing it. Is it my perception, or is everyone else sick of it as well. If you look at this whole Campaign between the Primaries, both Democrat and republican party's have been shoving it down our throats beginning a year early. Why is that? Is it because both party's want us to be well informed, Or is it because the political process wants us to get sick and tired of hearing it so that we wont keep an eye on everything and we will just let it slip on by so that they can put whoever they want in the white house. OK, Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but honestly, they, the main stream media has told us who we ought to be voting for and it almost looks like this whole thing is rigged. No one gave Ron Paul a chance and the mainstream media shut him out as if he had nothing to say But if you look at it, he had allot to say but again mainstream media wanted nothing to do with someone who had ideas and made sense on what he was talking about.. Remember that document that made this country what it is today? The Constitution? Ya know the one that starts out with WE THE PEOPLE? Gave us our rights and our liberty's? He had allot of great Ideas for this country but WE THE PEOPLE were not let to know what that was all about because the Mainstream media didn't report on it. No, they found it more important to report on what Britney Spears or her sister was up to like we all really need to know about it. Important issue? I don't think so and i don't think that allot of us think so either. Mainstream media has turned into the Fluff Tabloid or something. I remember when i was growing up, that we heard on the news on what was really important and not just two minutes on one thing or another. News meant something. They started this a Whole year early. Does anyone realize that with the motor voter bill that was enacted in 1993, anyone that has a driver's license gets to vote. Anyone including Illegal Aliens. That's right, I said alien. I say this cause most of the Aliens that come across the border Illegally don't want to take our laws for theirs, they want to just come over here and take our free health care and the welfare and just get the money and send it to their families in Mexico. That is where most of them are from and That my friends is The biggest import for Mexico. So as long as they the Illegals have a license, They can vote for the people who give them the most. Mainly the Democratic party. You don't want to believe this is happening in America. Go find out for yourselves. Better yet.. Get involved and first off read about the issues. Second, Call congress and Your Senators and find out what they are going to do about making sure that WE THE PEOPLE take back what is rightfully ours. OUR right to vote and make Damn sure that someone that Doesn't have any right or reason to be in this country DOESN'T have the ability to vote. Plain and Simple. Be Safe and have a Great Week. |

I sat down here at the Flyin J truck stop. Turned on the computer and well honestly was amazed at something. I read on msn.com about this guy selling his life on E Bay. He was auctioning off his house, everything along with it as well as his whole life. His job, and home in Australia. Ok, he went further and was going to even sell his friends. I thought about this and seen some humor in and thought as well just where this world is going in the wrong direction. Besides, if someone can tell me how you can actually think this can happen and you 
Senator Barack Obama. He looks great in the limelight. He has got really no choice seeing that he is wanting the most powerful office in the nation. He talks to us as if he is one of us. He seems to be the man for the job. On the surface, that is and honestly this is only 
Does anybo
dy have a problem with the way that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are treating one another when it comes to this Primary Election? Why are they Not talking about the most important issues that face this country? And Don’t they understand and realize that all they are doing by tearing each other down is making the point to the American People that neither one of them know what in the world they are doing?
