The Vices of Their Virtues

"I am somebody. I am somebody. I am the One. The One I am. I have been to Hollwood. I have been to Harvard. I have crossed the ocean for a heart of gold. Oprah loves me. Europeans love me. I love me. Me I love. I am the One. The One I am. " But we don't like green candidates and hams. We don't like them Mr. One.

Steady, thoughtful, even-tempered, gracious, serious, intelligent, honest, classy, eloquent, compassionate, Those are the qualities a person needs to move our country forward -protect my sons (and others) from unnecessary war- bring the changes our country (and planet) need for survival- and help the United States become respected throughout the world once again . Senator Barack Obama was born for this!

McCain will win this election quite handily. Polls are all over the place, but the tide will turn dramatically in the next 2 weeks. The "bailout" is going to reveal quite a bit. The continuing Eligibility suit will become clearer this week. Rezko is back in the news. ACORN is about to be crushed. Imam Rev J.Wright is gonna be roosting chickens again, and Hussein is gonna be shown for what he is....A crook and a fraud.

Oh yeah....and the true "anointed one", Sarah...is gonna show us all...what a real American woman is. She will be embraced by a large majority.....

Just open your eyes, and hold on tight.......The mohammed messiah is cooked.

NOBAMA!!!

Obama/Biden '08 !!!

After 8 years of Bush we need calm and thoughtful.
While McCain is entertaining with his agery, erratic and childish behavior, it is not presidential.
We need a scalpel, not a hachet. I mean, really, do you want such an impulsive person as McCain with the nuclear codes?

Rational and Intelligent Beings...

If the United States is arguably the World's #1 Super Power, why does the Commander-In-Chief need to reflect the erratic behaviors of John McCain?

God made us "rational and intelligent beings" to have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

To be irrational and unintelligent is a description reserved for the beast of the earth, but even they were given the instincts of stealth pursuit of their prey.

With the Iraq War and the U.S. economic crisis, Americans should not be detached from fully understanding that its citizens literally "live and die, its country rises and falls," all on the word of the President of the United States.

Regardless of your political or fraternal affiliation, this reality should not be thrilling or disturbing, but yes, sobering...

At this time, after intense reflection, and without prejudice, I find Senator Obama qualified to be President of the United States.

So Mote It Be

Everytime I hear McCain called "Maverick" I think of Tom Cruise in "Top Gun." America does not need a president that has a 20 year old brain on testosterone OD stuck in a 70 year old body. Vote to bring intelligence back to Washington ... Vote Obama!

Here's a fun game to demonstrate why most countries in the Middle East (and elsewhere) HATE US.

Every time McCain / Palin say "freedom" or "democracy," replace those words with "Jesus" or "Christianity."

They, along with most Republicans including Bush, are on a crusade to enforce our lifestyle upon the ignorant heathens throughout the world who have not been shown the holy light of 'freedom' and 'democracy' because we obviously know what is best for everyone in the world, and our way is better just because we say so (Oh, and God says so, too, because he's on our side).

If anyone wants to know how things are going to turn out in the Middle East, simply look to the past because history is in the midst of repeating itself. Look up a little thing called The Crusades, wars that bankrupted every European nation that participated with the exception of the Republic of Venice that was the Halliburton of the Middle Ages. Look at the death tolls. Look at the ultimate grounds gained and changes affected in the Middle East as a result. (NOTHING)

Anyone who thinks victory in Iraq is even a remote possibility needs to restudy middle eastern history. Terrorist groups aside, Sunnis and Shia have been fighting for 1,500 years. We're not going to solve their problems in 1 year or 100 years.

I cannot believe this election is even close.

Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin realize that the Democrats under the leadership of Barack Obama want to effectively give away in trust our offshore exclusive economic zone by standing in the way of any current offshore development. Under the 1982 United Nations Law of the Seas Convention the US has an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles and mineral seabed rights up to 350 nautical miles extending along the Continental shelf. A nautical mile is 6080 feet so our exclusive economic zone extends about 240 miles and mineral seabed rights extend 420 miles. The US has the world's largest offshore exclusive economic zone totaling 4.4 million square miles. In comparison, the total land area of the United States is only 3.4 million square miles.
On the East coast alone, if you drive from Key West Florida to Bangor Maine it is 2000 miles. Multiply the 2000 miles by mineral seabed rights extending out 420 miles results in a total of 840,000 square miles of ocean acreage. Because we have the world's largest offshore coastline which is twenty-eight percent greater than our land area, it only makes common sense that we exploit our offshore resources to achieve our energy independence.

Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin understand that over one fourth of current United States oil production is now offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin also understand that under the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift, 300 million years ago when oil was formed all of the continents were one supercontinent called Pangea. The continents then drifted apart. The Africa coast was right up against North Carolina 300 million years ago. Today half of the oil production of Nigeria is now offshore and the odds of large offshore deposits off our east coast are very strong. There are also huge oil deposits off of east coast of Brazil. Brazil has tied up almost all of the world ocean drilling ships in the hopes of developing those deposits. Given there is confirmed oil off of Brazil, likely oil off the Southern US east coast and there is confirmed large deposits south of Newfoundland then it is likely there is oil all up and down the entire United States east coast. The United States has the largest coastline in the world and it is simple common sense to make use of those offshore resources to achieve our energy independence. John McCain energy proposals will bring about this development that we so desperately need.

One statement from the debate jumped out at me. McCain accused Obama of "wanting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." My questions for McCain and all the other hawks are these: How do you define victory? What does the US gain from winning? Do the benefits of winning outweigh the enormous costs? Iraq is the new Vietnam. Only old folks remember Nixon's campaign slogan from 1972: "Peace with honor for four more years". We ended up staying in Vietnam only because of our national ego. My real question: "Why are we doing this all over again?" Sooner or later, we will leave Iraq and Afghanistan, and then they will end up with radical Islamic governments. I can only hope that Obama will both win and find ways to extricate us from this mire.
