Random Thoughts

Incumbents;
Incumbent is a dirty word. On your voting ballot in November, DO NOT VOTE for ANY CANDIDATE with INCUMBENT ATTACHED to THEIR NAME. It makes no difference the Party affiliation, Republican, Democrat, Independent, or other 3rd. Party. The only way to change the Congress " Elected Members" mind set & total lack of respect for us common citizens, is the fear we just might reject them at the next election! VOTE THEM OUT! If you are happy with a bunch people with a job approval rating around 10% just vote for the incumbents! Question! would your employer keep you, if your effectively rating was this low, I think not. You would be terminated!

Immigration Reform;
There is not much being said about immigration during this election period by the major media or the Candidates themselves. I wounder Why? Do you suppose that both Presidential Candidates favor an Amnesty Plan but do not wish it to become common Knowledge? The News Media should Pursue this information,But; will they? I think Not.

Liberal or Conservative;
Do we have a conservative presidential candidate in 2008? Senator Obama is definitely of the Liberal Persuasion, while Senator pretends to be of the Conservative Cloth. Reviewing Both Senator's records demonstrates Obama is definitely liberal, undoubtedly the most liberal member of the Senate ever. McCain likes to claim a conservative position However; His Senate record does not support this claim, He is slightly moderate at best. So in conclusion we have 2 generally liberal candidates running for President no conservative present.

Founding Fathers;
Our Founding Fathers were a group of brilliant men who devised by far the greatest form of Government ever. They actually envisioned many changes brought about through advanced technology, perhaps not to the extent we have advanced to, but the Constitution & Bill of Rights have withstood these tests of time. What they Did Not Plan or Account for is a new breed of individual called Professional politicians! Modern Politicians are a group unto themselves, whose only objective is to be re-elected to office. There is only token acknowledgment to the constituents who elected them to office in the first place. Again beware of the word incumbent!

Choices, Choices, and More Choices

We have some choices to make in the 2008 Presidential Race. WE can elect the Democrat candidate Senator Obama, Senator McCain the Republican candidate, or some Third Party Candidate. It would appear that 3rd. Party candidates are long shots at becoming President. This leaves the other two choices, Obama or McCain as the probable victor. The Question remains how are they different or alike?

I think your choice will be pretty much determined by by what & how You view Government in our society. Let's review their records in public service. This should give us some insight into how each would govern.

Senator Obama; if one reviews his limited record as a United Senator, what becomes obvious is, He is the most liberal person there. He consistently supports larger Government, with more government control in all matters, domestic & privet, in simple terms more intrusion in your every day activities. His stated tax policies should frighten all citizens of this country "rich & poor". His record in the Illinois State Government if anything is even further to the left than as a US Senator. Look at his record, is this who you want for President?

Senator McCain; has a more extensive public office record to examine. Sen. McCain prides himself on being called a Maverick Senator. What exactly does that mean to me? It means that his position on many issues were based on stifling Conservative values, as a means of getting even with people who did not support him for president in 2000. It actually goes deeper than that since this behavior started well before 2000. McCain has a mean streak which shows up quite often, especially when he perceives a slight to what he desires. The straight talk express is a laugh, I've been around long enough to remember the Lincon Savings & Loan skulduggery. More reticently his amnesty positions etc. Look at his record then decide is this the person you want for President?

TO come to a conclusion! I Suspect Senator Obama will be our next President. This is not a choice I personally favor, that said I hope all of us look closely at our Congress People during this election period. This Congress has less than a 10% approval rating, "HOW DISMAL", I will expound on some of our choices there in another post.
