We’re Heading Left Once Again

'Joe the Plumber' nonsense resonating as more important than Collin Powell's endorsement - that has to say a lot about voter sentiment. Maybe people are frustrated and fed up and just looking for a little entertainment. Hopefully it isn't because there is so much racial prejudice, which people don't want to admit to, and they then grab onto the garbage to hide behind. That would be like 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' and would indicate many are simply illiterate.

After 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.

Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo didn't feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 trillion of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

In case you think McCain is any different than Bush, watch this:

Look and listen for yourself. Hear Obama in his own words discusses his links to both ACORN and the mortgage meltdown, and praises bundling and securitizing mortgages by banks as a means to float loans to the poor. Never mind the link commentators point of view, just listen to what Obama says in his own words. A picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe more in the case of Obama comments in the last half of the second youtube link.

This is a link to C-SPAN video clips of the Congressional hearings at roughly the time McCains attempt at S.190. to fix Fannie and Freddie. See for yourself who said what.

http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732 from this web site. (oops!) stating that Freddie Mac was spending tax payer money to target Republicans in 2005 who were trying to regulate Fannie and Freddies fraud. Democrats were not targeted, as the were all in the tank with Fannie and Freddie to kill the regulations. Hear that, the article admits that Republicans were trying to regulate, and Democrats were trying to stop it from happening as a means to facilitate the Community Reinvestment Act.

The link below contains a purported list of the top 25 in Congress who got contributions from the folks at Fannie and Freddie. Obama is listed third, after Dodd and Kerry, even though Obama is just a junior Senator. Obama is followed next by Clinton. Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi are on the list as well.

And the link below describes how some Democrats in Congress tried to use the original version of the bailout bill to divert money eventually recovered to groups like ACORN, a group Obama has a long association with. See: Wall Street Journal

I think Americans are simply becoming more aware of the fact those who have claimed the title of "Compassionate Conservatives" are not who they claim to be, One thing is very certain they are not compassionate nor are they conservative, we may be heading left as the article states but it's toward the center.
The GOP propaganda machine has demonized many words, one of them is the word liberal, which if you run it in Encarta or Wikipedia it tells us it is an ideal that individual liberty is the most important goal.
That embodies what America is all about. And is not an idea that is compatible with Communism let alone synonymous with it as some would have us believe.

Maramara: You write just like an Obamabot who doesn't know how to think for yourself and you resort to name calling anyone who posts an opinion that differs from yours and shows that they have originality and the intelligence of reasoning for themself. Calling someone an idiot who expresses an opinion contrary to what your pea brain can grasp says a lot about you and that you are the one who is the IDIOT.

I have come to realise that McCain has long years of service but no experience. He failed the exams on the economy and social justice. He may likely fail the exams on foreign policy. He even said he will not take with the Prime Minister of Spain.
McCain is also sick, He has cancer but I didnot border about that. But it bordered me when he pick Palin, whose claim of seeing Russia from Alaska is the basis of her foreign policy experience. He is completely absent on the economy and social issues. Infact she now thinks of special need kids because she has one in her arms. What has she been doing for special need kids before? This is hypocracy.
McCain lacks judgement. FULL STOP

Comment: Colin Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama is a contradiction to Colin Powell's career in government, and it diminishes Powell's credibility in the past and present. Barack Obama's acceptance of Colin Powell's endorsement, and Obama's statement saying he will make Powell one of his advisors confirms Barack Obama's lack of judgment and lack of credibility in what he has been saying in his campaign in 2007 and 2008.

Thanks for your opinion but your opinion is non-biding to other.
Do you think Obama will have to go an manufacture people from the moon to help him take America in the right direction? If that was your thinking, then I will have to tell you to get OUT OF THE BOX.
So, if Obama wins, he should not take any advise from John McCain? Is that your point. I think you don't reason beyond your nose and you are forcing others to reason like you.
Sorry idiot. I will not buy your idiocracy.

Neos, its so far down the post I'll repeat here:

Talk about me pasting all over. Ha. Look, about the economist report, I'm not going to chase it all over the site, but you know if you take those "independents" and the statment of "academic bias" and who responds (validity and sampling issues), and break the independants out 4 to 1 like the base sample, you get right up to that 80%. Wow, what a surprise! Proof once again that in sadistics (sic), numbers sufficiently tortured will confess to anything.

This is so true about how the election is already bought and paid for:

He drew a circle that shut me out--
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.

-Edwin Markham, Outwitted

So, Obama let's Biden out of his cage for five minutes and what does he do? He makes a dire, "mark my words" prediction that "we will face an international crisis" within six months of Obama taking office!

Wow. I'll bet Obama's is dancing in the streets over that one!

And you left-wing nuts make fun of Palin.... LMAO

Nims: Funny how fast Newsweek took that article : AP IMPACT: Mortgage firm arranged stealth campaign, http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732 , came off the general table of contents for this site once they figured out that, instead of being a bit on those evil lobbiest, it in fact admitted that the Republicans were trying to regulate Freddie and Fannie in 2005 and were targeted by Freddie, and the no Democrats were targeted because they were all in the tank with Freddie and Fannie not to regulate them as a means of promoting the Community Reinvestment Act. I don???t think that article stayed up 24 hrs before they took it off the main screen.
