The value of Biden as V P running mate

August 27th, 2008

I have been listening to all the Democratic spin doctors, portray Biden as a great choice as a balance to Senator Obama.

He brings experience, Foreign Affairs expertise, fiscal experience, and general  practical knowledge to the Obama ticket.

WHAT!!!!

Stop me if I’m wrong. Isn’t that the biggest insult and condemnation of  Obama’s candidacy, possible? If he’s lacking all of those qualities, what the heck is he doing trying to be president. What a joke. If Biden has all those great attributes, why is he the Vice President, He should be at the top of the ticket.

This election is bad and worse. How messed up. At a critical life and death junction in the future of Western Civilization, we are dealing with such dysfunctional and weak options.  McCain is the big winner, but sadly, by lack of other options.

Big tax increases will strangle small business

August 26th, 2008

When the economy is falling into a recession/ stagflation,  government becomes increasingly desperate for tax revenues.

This desperation comes at the worst possible time for small businesses, which suffer the same scarcity of funds.

Increased spending by the Ferderal Government in the wake of a change in  the party controlling the White House and the Congress, will spell a financial yoke that will drag down a great many small and medium businesses.

If Obama wins, he has promised billions in new spending on social welfare programs and universal health care. Where is this money going to come from ?

The State and Federal Governments are scrambling for money at this level. Add a few hundred billion in new programs, and the printing presses will be working overtime to print new money.

The inflation which this will engender , will be even more painful that the spreading recession, resulting in my recurring economic nightmare  scenario…Stagflation. The 2 ton Gorilla with the nasty attitude. 

Senator Biden could help in swing states

August 26th, 2008

Senator Joe Biden, a baptized Catholic from Scranton Pennsylvania, would appear to bring a potential swing state surge for Obama,  Or will he?

     A Catholic with pro abortion beliefs?, No, No, This is one stance that will hurt not help with middle America.

     If the Catholic middle of the road vote was the objective..didn’t and won’y work. Abortion is one of those key platforms that engenders passion, and  trumps other beliefs.

     By the way, choosing someone as your running mate who adds a great deal of experience and substance to your ticket is a greeat idea.. if you’re the top of the ticker.

     Choosing someone to balance you off is an admission that you are lacking in those very attributes. The Vice President doesn’t run the country, or even have any say at all. It is the top of the ticket, the President, who runs the show.

   Nice try, but you got it wrong. Unless you are looking as your V P as nothing more than an attack dog with a big mouth.

How many houses do you own?

August 22nd, 2008

You live in an apartment, have a second apartment in Washington D C 

You  own a variety of investment properties, plus a vacation get away.

 You are running for President of the United States, and have been campaigning almost non stop for well over a year.

Some one asks a loaded question concerning how many houses you own, and the exact number escapes you.

Rather than being a point of levity, it sure sounds like a badge of success , to me. Owning a number of different properties is part of the American dream, and is a badge of success. 

If I had to make a choice for President to lead my Country, I would certainly want to choose a successful accomplished person.

Don’t ridicule unless you have achieved something , other than handing out flyers. 

NBC News, not biased either?????

August 21st, 2008

Now NBC/WSJ Poll puts Obama up by 3 points, but  no mention of the Obama behind by 5 points poll, but they don’t miss a chance to list a litany of McCain faults and weaknesses, but Obama was on vacation, so McCainb had the media to himself…HORSEFEATHERS !! 

How about …I’d settle for a 70- 30 split in equality.

I feel the critical issues in this election are watershed. 

A move back to a world of good and evil. A world where it is O K to get chills when you hear the Star Spangled Banner..

A world where at T V reporter,Chris Collingsworth, would not DARE to try to embarass a huge star like Kobe Bryant, at the Olympics, for expressing a love of and pride in America    

I’m no right wing nut job.  in fact on most social issues I’m middle to slightly left, but on the life and death issues which are putting MY COUNTRY at serious risk.. No compromise. NONE !!!!       I love this country , I would be willing to die for my country,  I feel that this is the last greatest hope for Civilization for generations.      You/ want to comprfomise Her,  I will line up in front of you.

I Don’t Get It

August 20th, 2008

It appears that a very important, decisive, undecided battle is going on in Iraq. The fact that it is so large , involving  controlling the second largest city in the country is  obviously heavy duty .

The fact that it  is the central city in the oil flow is a given.

But how come this is mentioned in a more low key almost second tier story? To me; however, there are elements of some significant things going on. So why would the press, which trumpets out statistic numbers with anguished glee , and  gives red carpet treatment to stories of our negatives, yet ignores this story.

Why?

The thing that puzzles me…The Big story , at least for me… is thet the Iraqi military is fighting this battle, with some air support and I’m sure, other help,  but those are Iraqi soldiers fighting , and dieing…Not American boys… This is, a big deal,.

I published this blog several months ago. Today al

McCain is up 5 points in the polls

August 20th, 2008

 The press is reporting that McCain is actually ahead of Obama in the polls,  but every where i’ve seen it mentioned, there is a qualification.  A vacation dip for Obama, an onslaught of negative ads, a full moon, the tea leaves are the wrong Tea.

     Get over it, Obama is going to loose. His policies will destroy our economy, and his extreme leftist views on the military, and the beauty of our Nation, will leave us weak and vulnerable.

     Who ever the power brokers are behind his unlikely candidacy, start counting your losses.You gave it a nice try  but backing a mouth with no substance is a loosing proposition..   Sorry Charlie,  or should I say Ali, or Mohammed et al  

The health benefits of dog ownership

August 12th, 2008

     Sure they provide you with unconditional love. In some cases it may be the only love you recieve, and you get it whether you deserve it or not.

     There are additional benefits. The physical advantages can be enormous if approached correctly. The mental and spiritual are less obvious, but potentially just as valuable.

     I am in the process of developing and documenting the ” There Has to be a Better way.com ” program which I have personally applied to loosing the 25 pounds I put on when I quit smoking(cold turkey, by the way) .

    The weight is gone, and has stayed gone for almost 2 years. I’m in great shape, and can keep up with my 26 year old 6′4″ son on the basketball court, despite being over 60 years old.

     Want to know how I did it. and also how I quit smoking  after 30+ years of a 2  pack  a day habit?  If you’re good maybe I’ll tell you.

     Just be patient with me.  I still have a full time job running my stone business, so writing time has to be stolen from other activities, like walking Matilda, the puppy.

     I will enlighten you about my very unique original methods. I know I can teach you how to utilize my program.

     Oh by the way, if you could arrange to stop all these economic and geopolitical distractions , I would have more time to teach you how to get healthy.

     Stay tuned

John Edwards, you have slimed us

August 11th, 2008

     It was O K to cheat on your cancer stricken wife, because the cancer was temporarily in remission…

     Are you kidding me!!!, You think that you are so very special that you get a free ride on this low blow. 

     By the way the cancer is no longer in remission. Do you think all of this has helped your lovely wife, Elizabeth, to fight this deadly disease?

     What should we expect from a slimy bottom feeding ambulance chasing lawyer.

     And Mr Edwards,  You also have very bad taste. Cheating with a down grade?  Bad move. 

     Not quite Presidential, or even Vice Presidential actions.
