If Obama Wins

Filed under: Politics — don @ 10:39 pm

I certainly hope he doesn’t as he will change America greatly from what it has been for these past 200+ years. He will turn us into a Socialist country just like those in Europe. He won’t do it alone, he’ll get help from Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, and all the other loons on the left.

Even though I will be very sad if he wins I will be glad about one thing. America will have finally elected a Black person as President. Our history is not that great when it comes to race but for the last 25 years or so we’ve been making it much better. To have a Black person win the highest office will prove once and for all what Larry Elder has been saying for at least the last 10 years I’ve been listening to him.

“If you work hard and do the right thing anything is possible no matter what race you are”

Now I hope we can have an end to racists like Jesse and Al and worse ones like Farakhan who incite young black men to violence by telling them they will always be treated unfairly. Maybe now those young black men can become part of a productive society instead of saying they can’t get ahead. Maybe, but I have my doubts. I truly hope I’m wrong on that one.

McCain ahead in Zogby poll?

Filed under: Politics — don @ 1:35 pm

This came from the latest Zogby poll website. What is going on here?

Pollster John Zogby: “Is McCain making a move? The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%. He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all. “Obama’s lead among women declined, and it looks like it is occurring because McCain is solidifying the support of conservative women, which is something we saw last time McCain picked up in the polls. If McCain has a good day tomorrow, we will eliminate Obama’s good day three days ago, and we could really see some tightening in this rolling average. But for now, hold on.”

Fair and Balanced?

Filed under: Politics — don @ 8:33 am

We keep going back and forth about whether the media is liberal or not. I hope this little study by the Pew Reserch Center helps.

What the???

Filed under: Politics — don @ 8:14 am

Obama has been saying he’s going to lower taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 since he started this campaign. Then last night in his Obomamercial he used the number $200,000.

For those of you who can actually count this means he’s already moved the bar on what he considers rich down about $50,000. Joe Biden is now using the number $150,000 to describe rich.

But for those of you who make less than $50,000 don’t worry, it will probably be months before he gets it down to you.

Can you say liar?

Dems or Repubs

Filed under: Politics — don @ 5:21 pm

Daryl has been telling us how much better the economy does under Democrats than Republicans. In an effort to be as fair as possible I took the liberty of checking on the closing price of the Dow 30 Industrials for the first 6 years Bush was in office but had a Republican majority in Congress. Then in 2006 there was an election where the Democrats took over both houses of Congress. Here’s the daily closing Dow value for those 2 periods. Hmmm. I wonder what this means?

Let’s see, September 11th, 2001 happened in the very first part of Bush’s term. I wonder what that other stuff means?

What my 4 daughters want

Filed under: Politics — don @ 5:25 pm

Four of them want Obama. I suspect they don’t understand the implications. I suspect they think it will bring money into their pockets and take it out of the pockets of the rich. Yep, and that’s what they want.

The only problem with that is once you increase taxes on the people who run the companies where do you think they are going to go to recoup that loss?

If you said “they will raise their prices so it will come from us”, go to the head of the class.

Do you really think the “rich” got that way by giving away their money? Do you really think they will just shrug and pay the higher taxes without passing it on? If you do then you are even more naive than I think.

Oh you say, Obama won’t let them increase their prices. Obama will “regulate” the prices they can charge.

There are already a few countries where that happens. Those countries practice Socialism and they are a dying breed. Even Russia isn’t a Socialist country anymore.

If you really think Obama just wants to “spread the wealth around” here’s a little thing for you to listen to.

My Buddy Grace

Filed under: Personal,Politics — don @ 1:31 pm

Grace Davis is a very nice lady who has a fairly popular blog. She has done a ton of good stuff and cares for her fellow man. During Katrina she set up a web site where people could help the victims. She’s a really great lady.

Here’s the rub. She’s a Liberal. Yes, I know, how could Don ever like a Liberal. Well, truth be told Don has 5 daughters/stepdaughters and every one of them except 1 plans to vote for Obama. In spite of that misguided and clueless behavior I still love every one of them and that’s how I can like Grace.

Grace has always been a staunch supporter of all things Liberal but lately she’s done something that surprises me. She decided she was going to delete any comments from her blog that don’t jive with her love of Obama. In her latest post she says of anyone who disagrees with her the following:

“I wish to inform you Haters and Doubters that I will be deleting your Hating and Doubting comments on my blog, should you deign to post such remarks.”

This seems to me to be exactly what the Liberals accuse the Republicans of doing. I keep hearing how Liberals are so open to ideas and how Conservatives are strict and closed and “haters” and will step on any rights you think you have.

Well Grace, here’s one Conservative who doesn’t care if people from the opposing side post on my blog. If you post words that I prefer my reading audience not see I will probably edit that but I won’t change your fundamental ideas. But I will allow anyone’s ideas, no matter how stupid, to exist in my comments.
