Foster Friess on Barack Obama: Rhetoric vs. Record

Hat tip goes to A Western Heart. Let's watch Obama tells us, in his own words, why he should not be our next President. It will be the best 9 1/2 minutes you have ever invested. After you have enjoyed watching him hang himself, please send this to all of your e-mail friends with a request for them to send it along. This is undoubtedly the best "silver bullet" I have found anywhere, and I've been looking for quite some time now. Let's use this "silver bullet" to kill the werewolfs chances of ever fulfilling his dream.

NOBAMA LIES

Obama Lie No. 1 - I will tax just the rich.

There is no such thing as a tax on just the rich. Taxes on wealthy people affect everyone.

Remember, Obama defines anyone making over $90,000 a year as "rich."

Joe the plumber discovered that Obama thinks Joe's rich too. Under Obama, he won't be able to hire new employees and grow his business.

Joe's not alone. Obama says he'll strip away the FICA cap at $90,000 for every worker. That means every dollar you earn over that amount, you'll pay 7 percent!

Obama Lie No. 2 - I want to give a tax cut
to the middle class.

Baloney!

Obama says he will let the Bush tax cuts expire. That's an automatic 5 percent (maximum) tax increase on almost all taxpayers.

Plus middle class folks pay capital gains taxes. Obama has said he wants to almost double them from a low of 15 percent to almost 30 percent.

He wants to hike the dividend tax, and he also has promised taxes on gas and energy.

Obama also wants to dramatically increase the estate tax, which had almost disappeared. There goes your idea of sharing your wealth with your kids in the future.

Obama Lie No. 3 - I want to make America
more secure.

Another outright lie.

In an age when crazies like Iran's Ahmadinejad are building ballistic missiles and promise to "destroy" the United States and Israel, Obama has promised to gut the missile defense program created by President Reagan.

"I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems," Obama said.

He has promised to cut "tens of billions" of dollars from the Defense Department. In an effort to make us more "secure," Obama plans to disarm us.

In the age of 9/11 can we afford such a radical Leftist in the White House?

No, we can't.


A few more reasons to vote for NO bama:

He is so radical he even backed driver's licenses for illegal aliens - even though such a move would help future terrorists move freely in the United States.
But Obama not only touted such a plan running for president, he pushed for giving illegals driver's licenses as a state senator in Illinois.

He is also the most pro-abortion candidate in the history of the country. In 2001, as a state legislator in Illinois, he opposed a bill to protect live-born children - children actually born alive! He was the only Illinois senator to speak out against the bill.

He opposes gun rights. He has a long history of trying to deny ordinary citizens access to guns.

He originally backed Washington D.C.'s total ban on private handguns - a ban that was overturned. The NRA rated him an "F" on gun positions and says he is one of the most dangerous anti-gun politicians in the nation.

Never forget that Obama is a Harvard-educated elitist. To him, we Americans are simply "bitter" and he has mocked us saying "[they] cling to their guns and their religion."

This information came from an e-mail I received from "Human Events." If only all Americans could hear the truth about that empty suit!

Election 2K H8

Do you know any black voters, or any undecided voters? Get them to watch this clip and pay attention to every word. This guy REALLY has his head on right! He's American first and race is a very distant second.

a Random Rant

Another great man that makes great sense. I stole this from MK down under in Australia, thanks MK. I wonder how many blacks realize that Martin Luther King was a Republican too? You'd think that might make a difference to them. We Republicans may only have 10% or so of the black vote, but at least it's the best 10%.

Dear Mr. Obama

Obama's Unsavory Friends

Bill of No Rights

WARNING: This clip contains extremely foul language, especially the "F" word.

Gutta B. Mee is back with his rant on illegal aliens and the fact that they have no rights! This guy is at least as good as Joe the Plumber, however he is much more explicit. I agree with his thinking, especially point number 2. We need a whole bunch of this type person in politics. Maybe then things could REALLY change. Feel free to pass this along to your address book. Bear in mind that some people won't want to hear the language. Please use discretion.

Bird Feeder

WARNING: Do not click on the above clip if you are easily offended by foul language. This guy draws a really funny analogy between feeding birds and one of this countries biggest problems. It's really just a matter of "common" sense, which isn't very common after all. Brand new to YouTube, I give you---Gutta B. Mee!

November is BOYCOTT CNN month

For their absolutely disgustingly lopsided coverage of this years Presidential election, I hereby proclaim November to be "BOYCOTT CNN month." If we all send this news to our address books and ask for it to be forwarded, it has plenty of time (6 days) to cover the country and half the globe. If we could kill 20% of their viewership for a month, maybe they would SMARTEN UP! I wonder if they could manipulate the Neilsen ratings as badly as they are doing it to the polls right now? Can you just imagine how much damage that would do to their bottom line when their advertisers see how much power we have? I am well aware that CNN is not the only offender, but I also know that people will watch news somewhere, so I decided to just pick on the biggest culprit. OK, so who is with me? Take the pledge, "I hereby promise to not watch CNN during the month of November, 2008." I am sick and tired of their terribly biased reporting, if you can even call it reporting, and their political hacks should all be fired! Other liberal biased channels should be warned that they might be next if they don't clean up their act! Reporters should REPORT the news, not create it!

NOBAMA on gun controls

Many of the so-called "swing states" have large numbers of rural gun toting voters who may or may not know NOBAMA's record on gun control. I think it is vitally important that we get them the information they need to make the right choice. Please follow this link to the NRA's site. Check out the information there and get familiar with it so you can speak to people in an informed way. You will be able to change many minds on this one issue. Be sure to send out the information or the link to your address book also.

Alfred E. Smith memorial dinner

I was sitting at my favorite bar having a couple White Russians this past weekend, talking politics with whomever would listen, and watching TV with the sound turned off because people were listening to the jukebox. I noticed McCain and NOBAMA were at some kind of a dinner function, almost looking more like friends then adversaries. There was a lot of laughter and applause from the audience. I just thought, oh well, I had to many to drink, better let the wife drive home.

Fast forward to a couple of hours ago. I was making my rounds of the blogosphere and when I got to Law and Order Teacher's blog, I finally saw what was going on at that dinner. It was the annual Alfred E. Smith memorial dinner. John McCain and NOBAMA were roasting each other. They each had 15 minutes to cut each other up. I some how managed to figure out how to get YouTube playing on my blog, something I had been planning to do for ages. It's FINALLY done. For the best half hour of comedy you've seen in a long time, you have only to click on this clip. McCain goes first, so if you must cut it short, oh well!




I may be biased, but, I would have to say that McCain cleaned NOBAMA's clock but good! I'm thinking that maybe his 2% rise in the polls the last 2 days is because of this. A big hat tip to L&OTeacher for finding this!

And the winner is...............

Joe The Plumber! That's right ladies and gentlemen, the undisputed winner of last night's debate is Joe the Plumber. For a guy that is planning to start a new business, that free publicity will be worth a small fortune. He seems like a rather likable guy, level-headed, intelligent, and sceptical of politicians, especially NOBAMA. I especially like the way he is looking ahead to the possibilities. He may not make $250,000 next year, but what about a few years down the road? What happens when NOBAMA decides that $100,000 needs higher taxes? Katie Couric interviews Joe and surprisingly treats him very well, no real hard questions like with Sarah Palin. Hmmm.

Katie asked Joe what he thought of the debate. He said he wasn't swayed either way, though he seems to be leaning towards one of the candidates. Katie presses Joe to fess up on who he plans to vote for, and he answers that that is between him and the voting lever. What a sly devil. Just from his other answers, I know who it is. It's McCain/Palin! In a 90 minute debate last night, Joe Wurzelbacher's name was used 26 times! the word Iraq came up 6 times, and the economy, the most important issue of the year was echoed a mere 16 times. I'd say both contenders thought Joe was that important! After a rather short interview, Katie had to let Joe get back to his adoring fan club. It seems like he had three local news vans waiting out in front of his house. A REAL hometown hero.

You may view the interview and read the entire transcript from CBS News at this link. It really is a remarkable story, mainly because it was reported at all, seeings how it is good news for our side!

JOE THE PLUMBER SECRETLY ENDORSES MCCAIN/PALIN!

UPDATE:Joe the Plumber is quickly becoming more famous than American Idol! We have definitely not heard the last of him. NOBAMA will have to do damage control if he wants to prevent a big slide. Just Google "Joe the Plumber" to see how famous he has become OVERNIGHT!

No clearance for NOBAMA

I have worked in two nuclear plants in the last few years. In order to enter the plants and perform the work I needed to do, I had to have an "unescorted Access" security clearance. For those of you who never needed a security clearance, of any type, let me tell you, this is one hellacious nightmare of red tape and excruciating probing around into every facet of your entire life. I had to account for every single day of my life while I was not working. If I was laid off for a couple of days or a couple of months, what did I do? Where did I go? I had to give non-relative references which I knew they would call. What I didn't know is that they asked these references for MORE references, and then asked THAT GROUP for even MORE names. I had to take a psychological profile test, which, if I remember correctly, consisted of 500 questions. The entire process took a few weeks before I got there, AND two weeks after I got there!

The reason I decided to give out that personal information, is because I wanted my readers to understand that I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT when I say that THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that NOBAMA would EVER be able to get the clearance that I got. Nor would he be able to get a top secret clearance, at least not if he weren't a Senator, or, God forbid the President. Just look at the picture above to remind yourself who his best friends are. This is the man that has B.S.ed millions of sheeple into believing he is the messiah. I do have to hand it to him, he speaks well, if you call B.S.ing speaking.

Lou Dobbs on voter fraud

This article is a MUST READ! I think the October Surprise is here! For millions of Americans that watched Lou Dobbs tonight, there was a very startling piece of information. It seems that NOBAMA's campaign paid ACORN $800,000 to do some voter registration work for them. ACORN, of course, is that leftist corrupt organization that you have been hearing so much bad publicity about lately. It seems that every election cycle, they get worse and worse, and they get caught with their hands in the till more and more often. Why are they still in existence? Good question. I guess you'd have to ask NOBAMA that one. He has been their lawyer in the past. He was a "community organizer" for them also.

I'm going to insert a little bit of the transcript from tonights show, but I highly recommend you follow the link to read the whole thing. I swear, Lou Dobbs is starting to get the picture. He is getting closer and closer to being on our side every day! I think I've already said somewhere on this blog that I like the guy. I have ever since he took on illegal aliens.

Tonight, the left-wing activist group ACORN, charged with widespread election fraud. The Obama campaign denies that ACORN has any significant relationship with Senator Obama. But the Obama campaign, nonetheless, is paying ACORN for countrywide voter registration.

And rising concerns that illegal aliens may be allowed to vote and influence the outcome of this election.

ACORN who supports Barack Obama in this presidential campaign went out and tried to register as many new voters in Lake County as they possibly could. The deadline was October 6th. They came in with 5,000 new applications. And when the registrations office began going through them, they found a pattern -- every single one of them was fraudulent.

RUTHANN HOAGLAND (R), LAKE COUNTY ELECTIONS BOARD: 50 percent. We had close to 5,000 total from ACORN, and so far, we have identified about 2100.

GRIFFIN: Registered to a dead person, registered to a person who lives at a fast food shop?

HOAGLAND: Yes.

GRIFFIN: Or just all of them, amazingly, in the same hand?

HOAGLAND: Yes. Yes. All the signatures look exactly the same. Everything on the card filled out looks just the same.

GRIFFIN: Ruthann, fraud?

HOAGLAND: We have no idea what the motive behind it is. It's just overwhelming to us.

GRIFFIN: Lou, I took a look at these registration forms and, indeed, they're all in the same hand. You can tell they're all written by the same person. They showed us the death certificates of some of these people who are registered there.

The workers have been diligently trying to go through all these new ones. But finally, they had to just put them aside. 2,100 of these applications are fraudulent. The other 2900 have been placed to the side. They haven't even looked at them yet.

They want to take care of the actual good applications of real new voters who really want to vote in this election. But they're scared. They're scared they don't know what's out there and who or what is going to show up at the polls when voting actually begins in the ballot boxes.

DOBBS: Drew, the -- woman with whom you were speaking, a terrific public servant, I -- we have got wonderful people like her all over the country. She seemed very sweet, she would not commit to the fact that somebody writing in the same handwriting for thousands of times to register dead people would be committing fraud.

But listen, you've been looking into this story for days and days now. We're seeing it from Vegas to Ohio to Pennsylvania to Indiana, all over the country, and these investigations are opening up. How can there be any doubt about what's at work here?

GRIFFIN: You know, each individual county, Lou -- and that's what's happening there. And let me tell you, Lake County, they are so afraid of anybody calling them partisan, for every worker, every job in that elections office, one person is a Republican, one is a Democrat.

Both Republicans and Democrats are coming to me and saying, look, this is fraud. This is registration fraud. But each county has to look at it and usually what happens is, after the fact, after the election, the boards look at it, they file criminal charges, people are charged with these.

Well, new evidence tonight that the Obama campaign is substantially connected to ACORN, despite disavows from both ACORN and the Obama campaign. And new questions tonight as well about just how much money ACORN receives from the federal government.

TUCKER: And ACORN has been paid $800,000 by the Obama campaign to register voters. And there's another connection between ACORN and the Democratic presidential candidate Obama. Obama, along with the Department of Justice, represented the group in a lawsuit to force the state of Illinois to comply with voter registration law, Lou.

DOBBS: So, to -- again, to be clear, there is no question that the Obama campaign is paying ACORN...

TUCKER: That's correct. DOBBS: ... for voter registration? And that now that ACORN is being with fraudulent registration, voter fraud, in effect, across a number of states all across the country?

TUCKER: That is absolutely correct.

The Obama campaign Web site, by the way, fight the smears responded today by attacking Blackwell, saying, quote, "Blackwell's attacks against ACORN and community organizers constitute a vile Republican pattern of mockery and viciousness against this noble profession.

Community organizers are the very individuals Republicans should be celebrating for helping people help themselves rather than depending on the government."

DOBBS: Tonight's poll results: 77 percent of you are concerned that radical left wing activist groups are trying to manipulate the outcome of this presidential election.

Please vote in my poll (to your right) before you leave and tell others to drop by and vote also. Thank you.

I think I know what the results will be. For a guy always crying foul over racism, he's the only one that gained from it. I hope I'm not viewed racist because I posted this poll, I want to show that there really is racism involved in the Presidental elections this year. We saw it big time in the primaries, and I know we will see it in the general election also. What I want to point out is that it is not just white Americans involved. In fact, I think a lot of "PC" whites are participating in some REVERSE discrimination. I think NOBAMA ought to keep his piehole shut on that whole subject. Race card my ass!

The Audacity of Hope

For those of you who have the stomach for more, I present you with "The Audacity of Hope", NOBAMA's second book. For month's now people have been calling him an "empty suit", this is not really true. As it so happens, his suit is full of Audacity. If you don't believe me, read this, his second book. Again, I have scoured the internet universe to find a source from which you can deappreciate(I know, not a real word) his writing skills without putting a penny in his liberal pocket. The entire pdf version can be found here, for free.

My lawyers have instructed me to include the following disclaimer:

You read this book at your own peril. Readers of previous works by the same author have had to clean the floor after getting violently sick to their stomachs. If you are weak of heart, get the advice of your doctor before opening the cover. Have at least a six-pack of beer, or 4 good stiff drinks at the ready before attempting to get into this "book". People with a pre-existing medical condition, women who are pregnant, or may become pregnant are advised to consult your doctor and get a second and third opinion before even touching this book.

Dreams from my father

Here my friends for your reading enjoyment, I present you with a source from which you may acquire that most infamous of all books, "Dreams from my father." It is in pdf format, it is available for FREE, and it loaded quite well for me. Phone modems may take a little while, but it just might be worth the wait. I posted a little about this book a few months ago, and in one of the comments, I said I would NEVER allow one penny of my hard earned money to end up in NOBAMA's pocket. Well, I finally got the whole book without putting any money into that crooks pocket. It is actually a piss poorly written book, his arrogance drips off every page, but you all know that is not why I am interested in it. Please feel free to peruse through the thing and pick apart ANYTHING that might be detrimental to the chosen one's campaign and pass it around. I would very much appreciate any feedback on things any of you might uncover. Here is the link to "Dreams from my father."

Warning: DO NOT read this book close to bedtime. It will give you nightmares and I will not be responsible for your lack of sleep!

On the lighter side

I thought I'd take a break from serious political discussion for today. I need to rest my brain and lower my blood pressure. Maybe some of you are feeling the same way. This satire is political, but it pokes fun at ALL OF THEM. God knows with a 17% approval rating they deserve it! I have no clue who wrote it, I got it in an e-mail the other day. It may be satire, but it speaks volumes of truth.

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun In one hand, pulling a male buffalo with the other.

He says to the waiter:

'Want coffee.'

The waiter says, 'Sure, Chief. Coming right up.'

He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.

The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp,

Turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun,

Causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere

And then, he just walks out.



The next morning the Indian returns.

He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling

Another male buffalo with the other.

He walks up to the counter and says to

The waiter,

'Want coffee.'

The waiter says 'Whoa, Tonto!

We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday.

What the h--- was all that about, anyway?'

The Indian smiles and proudly says ..

'Training for position in Congress:

Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull,

Disappear for rest of day.

Leave mess for others to clean up!'

Palin versus Biden--Who won?

If you can believe the MSM political pundits, and we know we can't, then Biden won but Palin did better than expected. Even Republican strategist types have been calling it for Biden. I guess they watched a different debate that I did. Oh well, to each his own. One thing I can say though is that Gwenn Ifill did as I had predicted, she did well. If I hadn't already known that she had a book about to come out and hadn't known that she was strongly biased toward NOBAMA, I would not have guessed it by how she handled the debate. I was also impressed by the civility of all three participants of the affair.

I don't really give two shits what the MSM says or thinks about who won! It doesn't matter. We know who won but that doesn't matter either. What matters is just what the rest of the 70,000,000 viewers thought about the whole thing. I think that MOST of them, the undecided Americans from all across this great land of ours saw a remarkably lovable person in Sarah Palin that they would have no problem voting for. I think the McCain/Palin ticket just got revitalized. I think that polls in the coming days are going to prove that the MSM pundits are WRONG about who won. I think that 70,000,000 viewers are going to catch those same pundits in this lie. I think that McCain/Palin will win in November. I have always thought this.

Sarah Palin interview with Carl Cameron

Here is a portion of the transcript from Sarah Palin's interview with Carl Cameron of Fox News. It is in no way like her previous interviews where she was viciously attacked by liberal jerks that cater to the messiah's every whim. Maybe she should keep her interviews for journalists that still have civility and decency. After all, the news channels need her as much as she needs them. I watched the interview in real time, and it was great. This transcript doesn't really capture the best of the interview, but it at least will give you an idea of the improvement from previous encounters. You can access the entire interview here. The transcript writer missed a lot of words. Where I knew for sure, I put them in parenthesis. The ones with "inaudible" are original, not mine.

CAMERON: Governor Palin, thanks so much for joining us.

PALIN: Thank you.

CAMERON: Congratulations. You're not formally -- you've pulled off your first vice presidential debate. What do you think happened?

PALIN: Well, first it was a lot of fun. It was a great opportunity to get to speak directly to Americans. That's how I looked at it when I walked into there saying, you know, we're not going to be filtered.
There's not going to be the cutting and pasting and editing of any of our comments. Right on. Let me just talk to Americans......


CAMERON: Democrats put out 18 news releases last night and said that you committed 18 lies. The "L" word is pretty common this time around.

Anything you want to revise from last night? Anything that you said that you think on record (INAUDIBLE) you want to --

PALIN: Oh, I mispronounced General McKiernan, called him (General McClelland) and I apologize for that.

Other than that, nope.....


CAMERON: Folks said, wow, that was like Sarah barracuda out there last night. Because it was back and forth and you were taking on Joe Biden. Do you think you surprised him by the way in which you were prepared to sort of go after his record and Obama's?

What was the body language and the psychology between the two of you on that? Because he was sighing a lot. And some folks thought that you kind of exasperated him.

PALIN: Well, again, at least my sort of view was, it was pleasant.
And it was a lot of fun.

But, there just wasn't enough time either, 90 minutes in a debate sounds like that's going to be a heck of a lot of time to get a lot of words in and countering each other's records. And there wasn't enough time to go through everything that I wanted to go through.....


Because 35 years in the Senate, he has a record. He's got that voting record. I think it really shows Americans that a very, very left-leaning liberal ticket -- he is the third most liberal senator, as National Review will report. And Obama, as the most liberal senator.
That that ticket, a lot of the reflection of the voting record shows us why that they are considered the most liberal ticket, probably ever.....


CAMERON: This morning -- last night, when you were in the Spin Room and people came flowing in there. And one of the questions that a lot of folks said was, OK, where was the Governor Palin and Katie Couric interview that just debated and arguably defeated Joe Biden in a vice presidential debate.

There's (INAUDIBLE), I know you know. What happened? Go ahead --

PALIN: Well, OK. I'll tell you. Honestly. The Sarah Palin in those interviews is a little bit annoyed. Because it's like, no matter what you say, you're going to get clobbered. If you (choose) to answer a question, you're going to get clobbered on the answer. If you choose to try to pivot and go on to another subject that you believe that Americans want to hear about, you get clobbered for that, too.

But, in the Katie Couric interviews, I did feel that there were a lot of things that she was missing, in terms of an opportunity to ask what a V.P. candidate stands for. What the values are represented in our ticket.

I wanted to talk about Barack Obama increasing taxes, which would lead to (k)illing jobs. I wanted to talk about his proposal to increase government spending by another trillion dollars. (Statements) that he's made about the war that I think make my world -- disqualify someone from consideration as the next commander in chief. Some of the comments that he's made about Afghanistan, what we're doing there, supposedly, just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That's reckless and I want to talk about things like that.

So, I guess I have to apologize for being a bit annoyed. But, that's also an indication of being outside of that Washington elite, outside of the media elite, also. And just getting to talk to Americans without the filters and let them know what we stand for.

CAMERON: OK. So, at the risk of annoying you, when you are asked, what do you read? Which papers and magazines? You didn't answer it.
Or, you said, I have all kinds of resources.

PALIN: Right, right, right.

CAMERON: Well, what do you read?

PALIN: I read the same things that other people across the country read, including the "New York Times" and the "Wall Street Journal" and the "Economist" and some of these publications that we've recently even been interviewed through up there in Alaska.

Because, of everything that we're doing with oil and gas, a lot of the investment publications especially are interviewing us, asking us how are being so successful up there in contributing to our nation's step towards energy independence.

CAMERON: Sure.

PALIN: So, my response to her. I guess (I) was kind of (flippant).
But, I was sort of taken aback, like, the suggestion was, you're way up there in a far away place in Alaska. You know, that there are publications in the rest of the world that are read by many. And I was taken aback by that because I don't know, the suggestion that this was a little bit of perhaps we're not in tune with the rest of the world.....


CAMERON: Well, the idea's not to be dodging the questions. But, you've heard the question already from Katie, about Supreme Court decisions that you disagree with.

PALIN: Oh, yes.

CAMERON: But, as a conservative, there are some in the Republican Party who would expect a vice presidential nominee to understand judicial conservatives and to have something that they might object to.

PALIN: And that's fair. Right. And on that one, truly I shouldn't have been so (flipant) and (answered) that. Because that was an important question and I should have answered it.

And yes, I can cite a lot of cases that I absolutely disagree with the Supreme Court on.

CAMERON: Is there one particularly? Or a couple, or something that --

PALIN: A couple.

CAMERON: -- exemplifies or illustrates what your sort of judicial philosophy would be?

PALIN: Sure. A recent one, Kennedy versus Louisiana, where the Supreme Court will tell a state that they can't impose the death penalty, even on heinous (ph) crime of repeat child rapists. That a state, it's rights are taken away by the Supreme Court and we would not be able to decide for ourselves whether the death penalty in a case like that should be implemented or not.

That one -- I'm certainly not a supporter of that decision. The
(INAUDIBLE) case also, with imminent domain. That affects me, as a governor. It affected me as a mayor, also. Part that property rights are so precious in this nation and for the Supreme Court to have sided with government, instead of the people, the property owners on that.
That was frustrating.

And then another one personally affected me, also. The Exxon
(Valdez) oil spill. Deciding what the oil company, as they decimated Alaska's coastline and much of our fisheries and much of our coastal communities livelihoods -- the people who live there. And they sided with Exxon on the punishment, the punitive damage that was to be awarded. Exxon won on that one in a sense that --

CAMERON: Governor, people hear that answer and they're going to be mystified. They're going to say, wait a minute. That's the Sarah Palin that we saw when she first joined the ticket. That when you hit the campaign trail, that invigorated Republicans.

I mean, is this going to (INAUDIBLE) one of those situations where it's Palin versus the press? And it depends on who asks the questions?

PALIN: That would be the worst strategy ever that I could think of. And I have a journalism degree, so I know how you guys work, also.

I'll tell you, what I used to do is commit to not being so annoyed and impatient with mainstream media. And I will make that commitment because I do understand that that is how I speak to the American people in a position like this. I speak to you and through you and that way, that message is received by American people.

So, I apologize for the (INAUDIBLE) response that I gave through that interview on a couple of questions. I'm going to try harder. But, I would ask also then, that the media tries a little bit harder also.
And that this is a two-way street. That there's fairness. Just objectivity and fairness and truth. That's all Americans ask for.

CAMERON: Objectivity, fairness?

PALIN: And that is all Americans ask for. As we send our young men and women overseas in a war zone to fight for democracy and freedoms, including freedom of the press, you've really got to have a mutually beneficial relationship here. With fighting for the freedom of the press and then the press, though, not taking advantage of that and exploiting a situation that perhaps that they would want to capture and abuse the privilege.

We just want truth, we want fairness. We want that balance.....


Yesterday, just before the debate it was announced that the campaign was going to withdraw some of it's exercises in Michigan, essentially leave Michigan for Obama to win.

What's going on there?

PALIN: Well, that's not a surprise because the polls are showing we're not doing as well there, evidently, as we would like to. But, I
(INAUDIBLE) up this morning, also. I fired a quick e-mail and said, oh, come on. Do we have to call it there? Todd and I would happy to get to Michigan and walk through those plants where car manufacturers.

We'd be so happy to get to speak with the people there in Michigan, who are hurting because the economy is hurting. Whatever we can do and whatever Todd and I can do in realizing what their challenges in that state are, as we can relate to them and connect with them and promise them that we won't let them down in the administration. I want to get
back to Michigan and I want to try.

CAMERON: Thank you very much, Governor.

PALIN: Thank you.

Debating Sarah Palin

We all wonder how the Palin/Biden debate will go tomorrow. We all have our perceptions of her recent interviews. Many think the campaign managers are changing her too much, scripting her answers, and filling her head with millions of bytes to memorize. I think that has happened. I think she pretty much held her own, BUT, she could have, and should have, done better. There is a sense that now the campaign is trying to undue the damage they did. Good! She was a GREAT debater before she was tapped to run for V.P. and she is still a great debater now, if her hands get untied. For what I consider to be an impartial source, please follow this link to hear right from a guy who knows.

Andrew Halcro debated Sarah Palin at least a dozen times. If anyone on this earth knows her debate style, it is him. His article in the Christian Science Monitor reveals a Sarah Palin that has the ability to mop the floor with the seat of Biden's pants with him still in them, if you get my drift. If she has been untethered by her campaign handlers, I think she will easily beat Biden, even if Gwenn Ifill is lopsided and unfair as the moderator. I'm not so sure that will be the case. Her book may even sell BETTER if NOBAMA loses! The one thing I know for certain is that I will be watching this debate. If she accomplishes what I think she is capable of tomorrow, we could see a remarkable bounce in the polls, one which NOBAMA will not recoup from.

That last sentence reminds me, keep an eye on that AOL poll I posted the other day. It still shows McCain ahead of NOBAMA nationally at 60% versus 40%. This is based on over 400,000 votes. Here is the link again so you won't have to go looking for it. For those of you interested, this poll will include third party candidates starting Thursday. I hope this poll is closer to the truth than other polls which only survey 1000-2000 people. Of course, it can't be used by poor demoncraps with no computer, so many of NOBAMAS core base don't even know it exists. That might not be correct, they probably all bought one with loans the government made the banks give them(sarcasm).
