His first post makes the mistake of equating correlation with causation. It completely fails to take into account events outside of the political entities control. Reagan’s policies were good in that he lowered rates and regulation that were WAY to high. It’s easy to perform when your predecessor was such a failure. G.H.W. Bush got caught in a short correction after a big run up and the Dems spun it their way. Oh Well. Clinton’s greatest achievements, where the PC productivity revolution, and getting a Newt lead GOP congress elected. (i.e. he acheived nothing.) G.W. Bush got stuck with 9/11, the dot-com bust, 8 years of kick-the-can foreign policy that was about to let Saddam Hussein free to run wild, and the Dem created poison in out financial system (mandated sub-prime loans). He had to do this with through a storm of some of the most dishonest demagoguery in American political history. He was a long way from perfect, but he did alot of good while fighting alot of bad.

Post 2 was nothing more than leftist/Obama talking posts. Blind dangerous ideology is in spite of all the facts stating it would be better had Saddam been allowed to get off the hook, rebuild his WMD programs, continue his reign of terror, and roll the dice WMD did not pass through his other well known terror connections into an attack in Europe, Israel, or here in American. I realize he did not state it that way, but that was a very real possible outcome had HIS ideology taken the day.

And many of us in America will take Palin over Biden or Obama any day.

1) An ideology that completely mirrors the ideology of this past 8 years.
2) An ideology that recognizes the few while completely disregarding the masses.
3) An ideology that believes in taking military action against Iraq, an incident that is completely unrelated to 9/11, without solidifying our claims beforehand. In the present, we have found no evidence of weapons of mass destructions or a tie to Osama Bin Laden. The devastation of this war has cost us over 4,000 of our brave troops and counting, over 1/2 trillion dollars of taxpayer’s money and counting, and over 1 million Iraqi lives unrelated to the terrorists or insurgency.

4) An ideology that still believes that the Iraq War is the right war on terrorism when the Afghanistan War should had been the right war on terrorism, where Osama Bin Laden actually was until he slipped into the mountains and into Pakistan’s territory now. The Iraq War also diverted our attention away from the Afghanistan War. We now have extended our resources in two separate places and have heightened our risk to our troops, our expenses, and creating another dilemma that will take quite some time to finalize. The Iraq War will not go away overnight and it is now our obligation to see it all the way through for God knows how many more years. This has also been the most unpopular war in the eyes of the world’s communities.
5) An ideology that believes that we are at our safest state since 9/11, when a recent terrorist plot was still trying to enter Great Britain’s airports with liquid explosives heading directly to us, but thankfully the plot was foiled. While in Afghanistan, the terrorists are regrouping and strengthening and we have recently suffered another high casualty to our troops yet again within this past month. We currently have the least amount of alliances in the world’s communities due to this unpopular Iraq War. True national securities are the ties that bind us to our world’s communities and the ties that bind them to us.
6) An ideology that vetted one of the most inexperience VP ticket in history, from foreign policies to national defense. If God forbids that anything happens to this President if elected and is stricken with illness, this VP will be running the country. For a more compelling look at Sarah Palin’s VP readiness, please look at these links below —

7) An ideology that believes in “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” while we are facing the highest mortgage foreclosure crisis, high unemployment rate, and the largest collapse of our financial infrastructures since The Great Depression of 1929.

This is an ideology that many of us in America are against. Whether this ideology is in the Republican or Democratic ticket is not the main issue but the fact is that America does not want to fall into another 4 more years of devastation. We cannot afford this anymore.

So here is a simple fact for America -
1) During Ronald Reagan’s Presidency of 2 terms, between 1981-1989, we were at our economic best in a quarter of a century. We made the right choice in these 8 years as a country.
2) During George H. W. Bush Sr.’s Presidency of 1 term, between 1989-1993, we were at our economic worst in a quarter of a century. We made a huge mistake as a country but corrected it by keeping him in office for only 1 term.
3) During Bill Clinton’s Presidency of 2 terms, between 1993-2001, we were again at our economic best in a quarter of a century, even better than Reagan’s era. We made the right choice again in these 8 years as a country, despite his personal scandals.
4) Now, during George W. Bush Jr.’s Presidency of 2 terms, between 2001-this coming January 20, 2009; we have been at our economic worst in a quarter of a century, even worst than Bush Sr.’s era. We really made a huge mistake as a country on this one by not realizing that the apple really doesn’t fall very far from the tree. Yet we chose this apple again the second time around.

Now, really let this simple fact sink in America and take your time to think carefully this time around about how you want the direction of this country to go.

We made history with Reagan. We then made a mistake with Bush Sr. but corrected history by allowing him to only serve 1 term. We then made history again with Clinton, despite his personal scandals. Now, we have made 2 mistakes with Bush Jr. by allowing him to serve not once, but twice. So my last question to America is, guess which candidate shares the interests of both, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.? I will let America answer this one. We are much, much smarter as a country to want to make history rather than make mistakes and to suffer yet again from our own mistakes by not using objectivity as our first and foremost agenda.

They should only be targeting Democratic/ACORN activists. Unfortunately, the ham-handed approach by the Bush DoJ drew media and Congressional scrutiny so they had to even the score. In the unlikely event McCain wins, he should fire or reassign (preferably to that old FBI favorite, Butte MT or anywhere in Alaska) every disloyal DoJ attorney or make their life so miserable they just quit.

Back in the day, seasoned investigators shied away from such “sour grapes” prosecutions on the grounds that winesses would simply stop talking to them. As noted above, that is the logical consequence of busting people for mistatements in interviews.

It tells me there’s a good chance that America can possibly turn into a banana republic, and Obama, and ACORN, and a corrupted DOJ are just the ones to make it happen.
