obama has said he will bankrupt the coal industry. Jobs will disappear from the states listed above. But more than this, he will drive up the price of energy so high, you will think you are living in Bagdad, cause you can only afford elctricity a few hours each day.

Just remember, crap rolls downhill. Charge big bucks to the coal industry and who pays in the end? The one who can least afford it. Middle and low income.

There are many coal fired power plants in existence now. Sure we want to clean up our environment. But making middle and low income people pay for what they cannot afford is cruel.

Putting hard working Americans out of work is cruel.

Two Johns: John McCain & John Revels

The two men I admire most are named John. John McCain, the man running to be the leader of the free world and John Revels, my grandfather. Both men believe in God, Country and family, but not necessarily in that order.

They also believe that your word is your name and that is all you got in this world. Give your word and there are no excuses for not keeping it, maybe death or not.

Back bout 1906, my grand-pappy went into town to buy some cotton seed for planting, and on the way he run into Robert the banker man. Grand pappy told ole Robert he was on his way to pick up seed but needed to stop by the bank to sign for a loan to tide him over until harvest. Robert looked at grand-pappy and said "John, you don't need to sign no papers, your hand shake is good enough for me". My grand-pappy did have a rep for keeping his word. He passed that down to my mother and she passed it on to me.

I see John McCain the same way. Word given, word kept.

John McCain worked with Senator Feinstein on campaign finance reform to help change election exclusion of the people. Senator McCain bucked his on "money party" to get this important legislation through the House & Senate. When the general election began he opted to take public funds and limit his contributions while obama (who previously said he would take public funds) opted out.

I have not yet found the answer as to exactly where obama's money is coming from. If I go online to contribute to a campaign, I must give my name and other pertinent information which will allow my credit card to be charged or ATM card or my bank account and routing numbers. I have on several occasions contributed so, I know for sure, I have got to give this information. When I go to the FEC website to look-up the contributors for obama, page after page after page is filled with no information about the contributors, just "information requested".

The Statesman: John McCain

When you love your country and put it first, like John McCain you are a statesman.  When you want to continue campaigning when your country in in crisis, you are a politician, like obama.

"It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem. We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved. I am directing my campaign to work with the Obama campaign and the commission on presidential debates to delay Friday night's debates until we have taken action to address this crisis."


"I am calling on the President to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself. It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem"  said the statesman , John mcCain.

obama on the other hand stated he didn't care, he was not going to suspend his campaign.  he was more interested in gaining the power of the presidency than making sure the country and the little people got a fair deal.

Who is the true patriot?

Is Feminism For Women's Rights or Just Abortion Rights?

I had always described myself a a feminist.  A feminist to me was some one who believed in equal pay for equal work, equal opportunity in jobs and in schools.  I also subscribed to the pro choice decision in Roe versus Wade. 

I no longer attach myself to the tittle of feminist.  It no longer has the same meaning.  Kim Gandy and the organization NOW has endorsed obama, because he is the "pro choice candidate.  They no longer work toward equal pay and opportunity for women, they are only concerned about abortion.

Just as the democrats have failed me, NOW has also taken a turn in another direction which does not include all we have fought to obtain.

They will not back Sarah Palin because she chose for herself and child, life.  This her belief and her choice.  Joe biden also believes life begins at conception and abortion is morally wrong, but they do not hound him.

The democratic party and NOW used to believe in "choice but do not believe Sarah Palin has a choice.

Women, like men, come in all colors and stripes, all sizes and shapes and all are uniquely different.  Some believe that life begins are birth, when the breath of life enters the lungs, some at conception.  But we are all women.

Senator John McCain makes an example of equal pay for equal work by practicing that in his Senate office and his campaign.  Does BO?

Actions, my friend, actions, speak louder than any words spoken.  Remember bull-crap walks.

obama: He’s no great equalizer

"Now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day’s work,” Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Aug. 28 in his convention acceptance speech. He told the crowd in Denver: “I want my daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons.”

Obama’s campaign Web site is even more specific. Under the heading “Fighting for Pay Equity,” the women’s issues page laments that, “Despite decades of progress, women still make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. A recent study estimates it will take another 47 years for women to close the wage gap with men at Fortune 500 corporate offices. Barack Obama believes the government needs to take steps to better enforce the Equal Pay Act.”

Obama’s commitment to federally mandated pay equity stretches from the Rockies to Wall Street and beyond. And yet it seems to have eluded his U.S. Senate office. Compensation figures for his legislative staff reveal that the Illinois senator pays women just 83 cents for every dollar his men make.

Obama’s 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Thus, Obama’s average male employee earned $54,397.


Obama’s 30 female employees split $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average.

Why this disparity? One reason may be the under-representation of women in Obama’s highest-compensated ranks. Among Obama’s five best-paid advisers, only one was a woman. Among his top 20, seven were women.

Again, on average, Obama’s female staffers earn just 83 cents for every dollar his male staffers make. This figure certainly exceeds the 77-cent threshold that Obama’s campaign Web site condemns. However, 83 cents do not equal $1. In spite of this 17-cent gap between Obama’s rhetoric and reality, he chose to chide GOP presidential contender John McCain on this issue.

McCain’s payment patterns are the stuff of feminist dreams.

McCain’s 17 male staffers split $916,914, thus averaging $53,936. His 25 female employees divided $1,396,958 and averaged $55,878.

On average, according to these data, women in McCain’s office make $1.04 for every dollar a man makes. In fact, all other things being equal, a typical female staffer could earn 21 cents more per dollar paid to her male counterpart - while adding $10,726 to her annual income - by leaving Obama’s office and going to work for McCain.

McCain is more than fair with his female employees, while Obama - at the expense of the women who work for him - quietly perpetuates the very same pay-equity divide that he loudly denounces.

If you are a woman and believe in equal rights for all, not just men, John McCain and Sarah Palin is the team you should vote for. 

BO says he is for equal pay for women but his actions do not reflect his words.  You simply cannot trust this man.  He says one thing but does another.  It is the old "bait and switch" deal.  Don't fall for those old tricks.

BO is "for" abortion, not equality.

Just say no deal!

Bucket of Fluff?

Joe biden's colors finally show through.  He said "You are good! My Lord!"  after barbara theaker, a supporter, introduced him at a rally.  she said "Barack Obama has made an intelligent choice for the vice-presidency.  "So very different this is from that bucket of fluff that the Republican candidate has chosen for the same position."


It hard for me some times to believe that "women" are so willing to batter other women or to encourage the battering, or to stand by silent while this abuse takes place.  Thus the "battered woman's syndrome " is passed from generation to generation, without the breaking of the cycle of violence against women.  It begins with belittling a woman's worth, verbal abuse, then escalates to physical abuse.  Women should stop abusing or encouraging others to abuse their own.

And besides that, I would not call a moose hunter a bucket of fluff.  Sarah Palin is a tough, intelligent woman.

Bo, You playing with the Big Dawgs Now

When randi roads called Hillary Clinton a whore, not one single democratic man or woman came to her defense. When Hillary was referred to as a bitch, no democrat spoke out.




Sarah Palin is not Hillary Clinton and the Republican women and independent women will not let you use sexism in this race.




When you try to pull this crap out of your hat, better think again, boy, cause we are coming for you. No More.

NO! NO! HELL FIRE NO!

Knowed you was a gonna do it, Bill.  You know, ask me to vote for BO.  Now I know you are loyal Democrats, but the party left me when they decided not to count my vote.  And BO worked his fanny off to keep Florida and Michigan from having a new vote.  Don't you dared say he did not, Karen Thurman, head of the Florida Dems told me otherwise.
In this video your eyes give you away.  Your eyes do not match your words.  Your lips say vote for BO but your eyses say no, no no.  The eyes are the mirror into the soul.




"We cannot go forward until Florida and Michigan are taken care of, otherwise the eventual nominee will not have the legitimacy that I think will haunt us. I can imagine the ads the Republican Party and John McCain will run if we don't figure out how we can count the votes in Michigan and Florida."

Forget the Lipstick, It's The Vagina, Stupid

obama says this was an innocent comment, "lipstick on a pig", but he did not address  the balance which was "fishy smell".

You would have to be from out of space not to know that "fishy smell" comment is used quite often by the male gender referring to a woman's vagina.

I might have given him as pass on the first part, but when he made the second part of the statement, honey, that ain't no innocent comment.  BO, you got a wife and two daughters and you know about that "fishy smell", and stop lying about it.

STOP THE SEXISM NOW.

Who Has No Experience?

Let me see if I get this right.  BO was a community organizer, a part time legislator in Illinois and spent 1 year in Washington, hmmmm, hmmm.

Sarah will a heartbeat away from the Presidency and BO will be the heartbeat.

Wait, I almost forgot, he did make a speech in Germany.

No Surprise

Women shifted from an eight-point pre-convention edge for Obama to a 12-point McCain advantage now.

If this was a surprise to you , you are either an ostrich, MSNBC campaign operatives like chris matthews and keith olbermann or kool-aid drinking, blind democrat.

The DNC was warned, if BO was the nominee, they would lose the general election.

The DNC was warned that if the votes in Florida and Michigan were not counted, they would lose the election in November.

The DNC was warned if they continued to allow the BO campaign and the so-called "news media" to continue sexist and misogynistic tactics to put Hillary down (and thus all females) they would lose in November.

Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain Beat Democratic Rival Barack Obama

Republican presidential candidate John McCain beat Democratic rival Barack Obama in the crucial battle to attract U.S. television viewers during their race to the White House, according to figures released on Friday.

Nielsen Media Research said a record 38.9 million TV viewers watched McCain accept the Republican nomination on Thursday, slightly more than the 38.3 million people who tuned in for Obama's speech last week.

McCain's tally was believed to be the biggest commercial TV audience every for a single night of a U.S. political convention, Nielsen said.

When I logged on Friday morning to check out the comments on John McCains acceptance speech, i was floored.  The comments could not have been more negative if he had spoken an unknown language foreign to earth.
I disagree, I watched and enjoyed.  I saw a man with great dignity and honor.  Listened to a man speak from his heart.


"I'm not in the habit of breaking promises to my country and neither is Gov. Palin. And when we tell you we're going to change Washington, and stop leaving our country's problems for some unluckier generation to fix, you can count on it. We've got a record of doing just that, and the strength, experience, judgment and backbone to keep our word to you.


"I fight to restore the pride and principles of our party. We were elected to change Washington, and we let Washington change us. We lost the trust of the American people when some Republicans gave in to the temptations of corruption. We lost their trust when rather than reform government, both parties made it bigger. We lost their trust when instead of freeing ourselves from a dangerous dependence on foreign oil, both parties and Sen. Obama passed another corporate welfare bill for oil companies. We lost their trust, when we valued our power over our principles.

"We're going to change that. We're going to recover the people's trust by standing up again for the values Americans admire. The party of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan is going to get back to basics.

I'm running for president to keep the country I love safe, and prevent other families from risking their loved ones in war as my family has. I will draw on all my experience with the world and its leaders, and all the tools at our disposal — diplomatic, economic, military and the power of our ideals — to build the foundations for a stable and enduring peace.

In America, we change things that need to be changed. Each generation makes its contribution to our greatness. The work that is ours to do is plainly before us. We don't need to search for it.

I'm going to fight for my cause every day as your president. I'm going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank him: that I'm an American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on Earth, and with hard work, strong faith and a little courage, great things are always within our reach. Fight with me. Fight with me.

Fight for what's right for our country.

Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.

Fight for our children's future.

Fight for justice and opportunity for all.

Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.

Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.

Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We're Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.

Thank you, and God bless you."

If that speech was boring, then please give me boring every single day. I found it patriotic.

But I, like McCain, hear a different drummer. I like McCain love my country.

Country before party.

Sarah Palin Accepts the Nomination

What the difference between a hockey mom and a bulldog? Lipstick

She wowed the crowed, she elbowed the elitist egotistical BO right in his gut.   "This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word "victory" except when he's talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed ... when the roar of the crowd fades away ... when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan?"

She impressed me, which is real hard to do.
She rocked 'em and socked 'em.
“Here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion; I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”

100 Years, Will History Repeat?

From July 7 -10, 1908, the Democratic National Convention took place in Denver.
Women were pushing for the right to vote nationally.

Once again the Dems reject women and their issues.

That year, the delegates nominated William Jennings Bryan for their Presidential candidate and John Kern for Vice President.

The theme of the convention's platform was "Shall the people rule?”

From the platform--- The conscience of the nation is now aroused to free the government from the grip of those who have made it a business asset of the favor-seeking corporations. It must become again a people's government and be administered in all its departments according to the Jeffersonian maxim, "equal rights to all; special privilege to none.
"Shall the people rule? is the overshadowing issue which manifests itself in all the questions now under discussion."

Confession

Okay! okay! I admit it. I was not courteous, in fact I reckon you would say I was downright mean. But I am still angry, I did not know just exactly how angry until this evening.

As soon as I walked inside my house my cell phone started to ring. A young man asked if I was "Saren", I said yes? He said he was, sorry, I recall his name now, but he said he was calling from the Seminole Democrats. Well, about then my temperature began to rise, my hair stood up on top my head, lord I knew I was pissed.

I quickly informed him that I was no longer a Democrat. He says he has a list. I tell him that when the DNC decided to take away my vote, I decided to tell them "fuck you" and I hung up.

I ain't a gonna apologize for what I said. I mean what I say and say what I mean. Although I usually am not mean about saying it. But what is done is done.

Now, just heard that Senator Hillary Clinton will have have her name put into the nomination process at the convention in Denver. Well, have to think about that. hmmmmm

Is there a chance that there is enough buyers remorse about BO to change the outcome? Yes, there is. But the problem is that stupid process. Florida's pledged delegates must vote for the candidate that they were elected to vote for for the first and second ballot, by the rules, then they are released to vote their choice. Don't know how it works in other states, each state party has their own rules.

Now, if you notice the quote at the bottom of most my posts, you will see that Hillary stood up for my vote. What did BO do for my vote? He made sick jokes about the votes being counted.

I don't think that they are going to throw BO out and put Hillary in as the nominee. Just been around too long and seen too much, the girl gets the shaft too often. But if they do, I'll vote for her. But I ain't a gonna vote for BO or no other democrat.

Well done said my piece so reckon I'll sign off now.
