2008-10-29T11:39:00.000-07:00

So true! The list of Obamas radical and extremist supporters only starts with Bill Ayers. Consider his "former" religious leader in Chicago. His wife was basically Anti-America until about a year ago when she "CHANGEd".

2008-10-28T11:44:00.000-07:00

Scott, your partisan fanaticism is scary. You are teetering on the edge of the idea that Republicans can do no wrong and Democrats can do no right. I'm just telling it like I see it, Obama has some characteristics that are admirable. I still don't want him to win and I don't think he's going to be good for this country, but he certainly has some admirable characteristics.

2008-10-28T11:02:00.000-07:00

Now I've read it and it is worse than I thought.

Good communicator? What matters are the ideas he is communicating. Couple bad ideas with a good communicator and you've got trouble. I mean Hitler was a good communicator.

He's smart? Again what are the ideas he is communicating that lead you to believe that? He is an empty suit that has done little his whole life.

Yeah, the Letterman thing was a huge mistake. Letterman went on a rampage against McCain and then it looked really stupid when it came out what McCain had been doing with his time...not good.

2008-10-10T12:44:00.000-07:00

Didn't Obama receive tons of money from fannie and freddie before they went bust? How come that doesn't seem to bother anybody?

I think it's completely ridiculous about how Obama is totally downplaying the Bill Ayers thing.

I guess I agree with Sarah too about McCain needing to convince people that he is a good candidate. No more mumbo jumbo talk at these debates...just tell us straightforward what you are going to do!

I really think McCain does need to step it up. I ...

2008-10-09T19:23:00.000-07:00

I really think McCain does need to step it up. I still have hope that he can win but I think that rather than trying to convince everyone that Obama is NOT the one for the job, he needs to convince others HE is the one for the job.

2008-10-06T15:19:00.000-07:00

Hi Jake. Thanks for including Microsoft Office Live Small Business in your overview here. There definitely are a lot of great tools out there for small businesses to take advantage of. I just wanted to add that Office Live Small Business also provides the ability to get a custom domain name (with private registration) which then gives you 100 business email accounts, all for free for the first year (14.95 annually thereafter). We also offer e-mail marketing, keyword advertising and e-commerce features, making it a nice all-in-one service for small businesses.

2008-10-02T07:26:00.000-07:00

I like those ideas. The first two memories are similar to mine. Having each child and coming home to a loving spouse certainly makes life worth living. And even at my age I still have hopes for future accomplishments.

I bet you are going to write a book someday. You should add that to your list of future things to do. ;)

2008-09-22T20:41:00.000-07:00

That's a great article, Lulu. I didn't know that the Republicans (John McCain being a cosponsor) had a bill that would have regulated Fannie and Freddie's sub-prime mortgage backed securities back in 2005.

Incredible that the do-nothing Democrats shot it down. Incredible, but I guess not surprising given the other bills the Democrats have shot down or manipulated into useless oblivion (e.g. offshore drilling, immigration reform, etc.).

This is an article on this very topic. Note the relationship between Obama and McCane to Freddie and Fanny.

That's great that you two are so well prepared. This situation is infuriating to me because from all that I've read, it could have been prevented. Several months ago, I heard Elder Bednar tell a stake conference adult session "Get your financial affairs in order...NOW!" That was a prophetic warning.

2008-09-22T10:41:00.000-07:00

How can we socialize the losses and privatize the earnings? That makes zero sense. Socialism is bad, but this type of Republican socialism is way worse. All the cost with no social benefits. This is corporate welfare and corporate socialism. Socialism is bad, corporate socialism is worse.

$700 billion blank check to the same people that created the mess? Count me out. I am all for fiscal conservancy but this is not the Republican party that I have known and loved.

I cannot in my right mind let these people keep running things. These republicans have no clue what is going on! They say they do, but they act a different way.

Obama/Biden 08, thank you.

2008-09-21T16:21:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the fray!

Well, I don't share your thought that most businessmen are crooks. The fact is that "most businessmen" are providing jobs and if we stifle them and their companies under socialist rule, we could all be out of work in a hurry.

So are you the hypocrite? You don't want socialis...

2008-09-21T06:42:00.000-07:00

So are you the hypocrite? You don't want socialism, nor government's regulation, yet think that government help is necessary. Is this the same argument that is is too big to fail again? Before you start called me liberal, you need to take a history lesson of the Great Depression and why there is government's regulation. Learn and analyze the real facts (on both sides) by yourself. Don't just listen to the well paid corporate whores, such as Limbaugh or even your own corporate slaves parents. I don't tried to insult people, but people in the US in the present seems to think in term of black and white and is full of hypocrisy (some people call b*ll sh*t), especially the extremists and the so called "conservative". There is no such a thing is a free market here in the US. The so called Capitalism is not really Capitalism in its truth form either (so was the Communism of of USSR). I got to admit that some (or most) businessmen are crooks. They tried their best to pay little or no taxes, and manipulated the government for tax cut, tax incentives...etc... for their companies. They're not here to provide jobs for American people. They will be very happy to have the slaves back if it is possible. Don't forget that just a couple of years ago those crooks tried to tell our incoherently spoke President to hand over the Social Security to them because they're very smart people and knowing what to do (Yeah right). It is funny that conservative Republican always chants the mantra "taking responsibility", yet it is always someone else takes the responsibility for them. This fiasco is just another example.

2008-09-19T12:06:00.000-07:00

Don't you think the same could be said about John McCain? Do the lobbyists and special interests that have a more predominant spot in his campaign matter?

2008-09-19T12:00:00.000-07:00

I agree with you that Republicans are more organized with their message. That is a no doubter.

I also think you are correct, to a point, that democrats liked John McCain. They liked the Maverick John McCain back in 2000 when he truly was a moderate, they even liked him in 2004 when he was considered a running mate for John Kerry. However, something has changed in John McCain. In 2000 he was sideswiped by George Bush in South Carolina by an ad that said he was an illegitimate father of a black child, when in fact his daughter is adopted from Bangladesh. As it happens, those same people he swore off, and vowed never again, he has now employed them in his campaign. At one time he was one of the most stand up guys in Washington, but over the course of the last 4 years he has compromised his integrity to the point that no democrat in their right mind could vote for him.

2008-09-19T05:58:00.000-07:00

Great post! Thanks. If all the leaders in America felt this way the war would be won already. I am disapointed with those leaders who don't love America this much and those who think we are wrong. Those who give celebrity speeches in Europe and complain about America. That person does not deserve to be our president.

You bet!! I always put something in the boot too.
