		<description>I can&#039;t believe the mean spirited comments made about my deep felt beliefs. On a happier note, though, what made my heart skip a beat this morning was when I read what the highly intelligent  and unparalled master of the issues, the good Senator Obama, said yesterday about a world ban on nuclear arms. When Senator Obama destroys the last U.S ICBM, the world will be a safer place. Initially, of course, he&#039;ll sit down with terrorists of all ilk, speak to them with his gossamer tones and persuasive logic and get their John Hancock on a world contract promising not only to rid the world of nuclear weapons, but, more importantly, never to launch them in anger, even when confronted by hostile actions of the United States.

Then, Obama will speak to all of the world&#039;s countries and do the same. All for a world in which our children can live without the threat of a nuclear holocaust. Dovetailing with this world initiative, of course, will be,(to prove our sincerity because BUSH&#039;s USA is no longer trusted) the U.S. pledge to stop development of the nuclear shield, which unfortunatly is about to be considered operational after numerious successful tests. Change. It all comes down to seeing a world where fear of another U.S. invasion is eliminated. In previous years, the U.S. was cursed because, as Obama believes, we were the cause of most of the world&#039;s problems. He, on the other hand, wants to live in a world where the U.S. once again is revered as a peace loving nation. Better still, without the impliments to make war on innocent people. When Obama talks about change,it&#039;s of a kind that we can believe in. I ask you; Who can resist standing shoulder to shoulder with Obama as he builds a brave new world. With Obama at the helm, we will be given a country whose watchword is peace, whose intentions are friendly and whose goverment will go to most any extreme to make the world a safer place. Now. I tell you. Who among you doesn&#039;t now feel a renewed belief in America. And that wonderful tingly feeling you feel is because for the first time the American people are being given change they can believe it. A new day is coming. We have survived Bush&#039;s tunnel of dispair, and from the shores of West Hampton to the pristine beaches of San Diego, all we&#039;ll see is light, the light at the end of the Bush tunnel.The day Obama is elected, our future will be so bright we&#039;ll all need shades.</description>

		<description>I figure it this way... I&#039;m being accused of being a racist because I want to have a meaningful &quot;interview&quot; with each of the candidates for this job, not just the conservative candidate.  So if I&#039;m already wearing some leftist&#039;s label, why the devil should I care about political correctness anyway?

Let&#039;s call a spade a spade (no, I mean no reference to race with that comment... nice try though).  We need to stop the flow of illegal immigration.  No, not just from Mexico.  We need to stop giving away the benefits of our citizens to those who are not willing to go through the process of becoming a legal citizen.  Period.

We need to call every single person on using race as an issue and draw a clear distinction between the discussion of cultural tendencies and racial bias.  We need to clarify the &quot;U.S. Culture&quot; - maybe write a U.S. Philiosphy and U.S. Mission Statement.  Oh wait, that&#039;s done -- Declaration of Independence and The U.S. Consititution.  Okay scratch those off the to-do list.

We need to elect somebody who will use his or her experience and the blind eye of justice to do what is right, not what one person or another person thinks is &quot;fair&quot; -- what is right for America.  That doesn&#039;t include instituting a socialist government.  That doesn&#039;t include trying to mess with the fragile balance of the economy to make &quot;rich people&quot; create a comfortable existence for &quot;poor people&quot;.

We became a strong nation because we didn&#039;t have anybody to make life easy for us.  We must get over this &quot;it isn&#039;t fair&quot; mentality... this &quot;I am entitled because I am poor&quot; mentality.  Welfare and Medicaid and Food Stamps and other programs are good for our nation when used as intended and not adopted as a lifestyle.

Can anybody doubt that there is work aplenty to be done?  Does anybody really believe that there are jobs &quot;Americans won&#039;t do&quot;?  I don&#039;t.  Americans... those who embrace the culture of America... are hard workers.  They innovate.  If they lose their job, they find a way to contract out until they get a new job.  They start businesses.  They find alternatives and make discoveries.  They go back to school to get a raise and get ahead.

All of that takes &quot;rich people&quot; who run big corporations that hire people to innovate, discover new things and find alternatives.  Those &quot;rich people&quot; can afford to put those innovations into practice and hire more people.  Tax them -- they will not bleed.  They will not bear the burden of those taxes.  The poor will.

Come ON people -- we are the interviewers, and the job we are considering these candidates to fill is nothing less than the highest in the land.  Think like you own a multi-billion dollar corporation.  Think of it as if it&#039;s YOUR business that could be run into the dirt in as little as 4 years.

Now... read up on how to interview and hire an upper level manager and you&#039;ll have a good start on what to ask these candidates.</description>

		<description>Only a couple ineffectual years in the Senate and Barack Hussein Obama already has the level of shrewdness of Bill Clinton. Not to mention changing stances on EVERY issue multiple times already in his political career&#039;s infancy?  I&#039;ve already given  up any type of debate with an Obamamaniac, they&#039;re already signed, sealed, delivered without a lick of reason. 

And don&#039;t forget &quot;TOWN HALL DEBATES&quot; on the list....</description>

		<description>Fred is absolutely correct about The Fairness Doctrine.

It is, in fact, an anti-fairness doctrine, whose resurrection many Democrats favor for the exact reasons Fred outlines, an inability to effectively compete in the marketplace of ideas.

Nancy Pelosi is a big proponent of re-instituting The Fairness Doctrine and requiring &quot;...broadcast licensees to present controversial issues of public importance in a manner deemed by the FCC to be honest, equitable, and balanced.&quot;

Who would define &quot;honest, equitable and balanced&quot; ?  Some yahoo or yahoos at the FCC, for your listening pleasure. Every totalitarian regime in history has used such kinds of control devices to monitor what could, or could not, reach your ears.  

It&#039;s typical current Democrat think (it wasn&#039;t always like this) to want to try to micromanage your life that way.  

Barry O is heavily into some version of &quot;Fairness&quot;.  You&#039;ll notice if you listen closely, it&#039;s a theme pervading his every position.  Who defines &quot;fairness&quot; ?  Barry, of course.  Oftimes, he shifts his position. For example, in April, he declared the DC gun ban  &quot;constitutional&quot;.  In June, following the Supreme Court decision, he confirmed an &quot;individual right&quot; of the Second Amendment to bear arms.  

Truthfully, your freedoms are surreptitiously (even overtly) under assault.  Perhaps an even more worrisome assault than the crowd who would still like to find a way to ram some more airplanes into our buildings.</description>

		<description>What Elizabeth said :)

I&#039;m glad she (likely not a Reverend nor a Swift Boat-er who opted for the assignment in the Mekong as it was (originally) considered &quot;safe&quot;) voted present to share her experience of Barack &lt;b&gt;Hussein&lt;/b&gt; Obama in this here venue, and I&#039;m glad her financing choices allowed her that option and, also, that she hasn&#039;t succumbed to the vapidity of the &quot;change&quot; rant and she might even have a little change left over after &quot;he who would use the power of the federal government to redistribute wealth in direct contradiction to the power of taxation as promulgated in the US Constitution&quot; fleeces her.</description>
