Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Slow Down

The third and final presidential debate was laced with talk of "Joe the Plumber." Joe is a middle class working man from Ohio that is just like the normal average American. Barack Obama supposedly wants to look out for these people and help them as much as he can, but as whose expense? He wants to raise taxes for the wealthier Americans and small businesses to make up for the loss. He even said "I think that when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." Redistribution of wealth? Isn't that socialism? The government is taking more of someone's money and giving it to someone else. In essence isn't that what socialism is? Are we giong to let this happen? With Obama leading in the polls by a significant margin this close to election day it looks like we will. Unfortunately for the American people you are now discouraged from living the dream and making lots of money. Wouldn't you rather rise up the economic ladder adn eventually make more money? Of course you would, but Barack Obama has a different idea.

Should we Really?

Reports have come out recently that the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 on Sarah Palin's wardrobe jewelry etc. So? Shouldn't we be happy that someone who is not a millionaire is running for the second highest office in the country? She is a smart and capable person but is it bad that she does not have the money to spend on things like this? Isn't this saying that she is like us? She will certainly be more in touch with the middle class than any of the other candidates. She has been living a life closer to that of the majority of Americans than Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and yes even John McCain. She is a great asset to the GOP ticket and she adds insight. So should we really care that the RNC spent a great deal of money on our Vice Presidential candidate? The answer: no.

Halloween Comes Early for Palin

Sarah Palin is an outstanding citizen of these United States. She is living the American dream. She is a mom from a small town who has risen up through the ranks to become a vice presidential candidate, and yet she is so poorly respected by people who should idolize her. At a Philadelphia Flyers hockey game recently she and two of her daughter dropped the puck at the beginning of the game. The music in the arena had to be turned up in order to drown out the ensuing 'boos' of the crowd.



What kind of class are the people who boo a person like this off the ice? Pretty unclassy. Even if you don't like the person why would you boo them? It embarasses them and makes you look like a jerk. Is this what we have come to now? Booing a very respectable woman with her two young children?

Time a Billboard for Obama

This week's Time's headline might as well read "Change we can believe in." The cover story is about Barack Obama, three smaller articles are about Barack Obama, the cover picture is of a serious looking Barack Obama. This close to the election this shouldn't be happening. Once again the media is winning the election for the democrats and not the candidate. CNN is projecting an Obama victory, the WB is delaying its release of "Hanoi Hilton" because it might "sway" the voters (in favor of McCain), and even Men's Health magazine has a picture of Obama slapped on the cover. Unfair, unbalanced; not what America needs, not what America deserves.

Get a grip Time you are one of the most respected magazines in the country and quite possibly the world. Don't lose our respect by presenting articles that campaign for a presidential candidate no matter who it is.

GOP Candidates in front of CNN Firing Squad

This article cannot be left alone. The CNN political homepage is once again unfair, unbalanced, and uncalled for. On the heels of the controvercial Gary Trudeau anti-Palin cartoon CNN has pitched in to help. If this is not a liberal bias then what is?

Get a grip CNN. This is not news, this is an editorial cartoon. Something left to the back of the A section in your local newspaper. Report facts not this garbage.

The GOP is blindfolded, the rifles are loaded, and the people at CNN are shooting. If this cartoon is going to be directly on the CNN website then tomorrow a Barack Obama cartoon better be there too.

Is Health Care Plan Healthy for our Nation?

TV is riddled with attack ads aimed at John McCain's heath care plan. The news is full of interviews of the average citizen asking about this plan. Apparently they don't know what the plan is, and yet they dare to criticize it.

Let's once again examine Barack Obama's plan. Be wants to give free insurance to all those who cannot afford it. The insurance would be equivalent to that of our United States senators and representitives. Where is this money coming from? Think about it. It comes from us. Our taxes will be increased in order to pay for the poor's insurance costs. Does anyone want to have to pay for someone else's expenses? Absolutely not. Barack Obama is always preaching about how he is going to help the middle class, but the majority of the middle class would not benefit from this plan. They would instead have less money because they are paying for someone else's health care.

John McCain's plan is a bit more complicated but in the end makes much more sense. He will give everyone, repeat EVERYONE, a $5,000 tax credit while taxing health care benefits. For those that do not have health benefits they will be able to then go out and buy their own and for those that do they would have to bill an outrageous amount in order for the tax to exceed $5,000.

Do we need higher taxes right now? Do we want people to have less buying power? The answer to both is easily no. We want everyone to have more money to pump into the economy. Barack Obama's health care plan is not healthy for our country and never will be.
