Vote Early and Vote Often! Bring Out the Dead!!
“There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications.” What else is new? Where there is ACORN, there is voter registration fraud.
Sarah as the 2nd Coming of Teddy Roosevelt?
Can you see the comparisons between Sarah Palin and Teddy Roosevelt? Well, our girl sure reminds us of the Rough Rider as first term governnors under the age of 44 who came from nowhere to land the VP spot on a national ticket.
If You Like Michigan’s Economy, You’ll Love Obamanomics
On the difference between the tax plans of Obama and McCain from Wall Street Journal:
Mr. McCain will lower taxes. Mr. Obama will raise them, especially on small businesses. To understand why, you need to know something about the “infamous” top 1% of income tax filers: In order to avoid high corporate tax rates and the double taxation of dividends, small business owners have increasingly filed as individuals rather than corporations. When Democrats talk about soaking the rich, it isn’t the Rockefellers they’re talking about; it’s the companies where most Americans work. Three out of four individual income tax filers in the top 1% are, in fact, small businesses.
In the name of taxing the rich, Mr. Obama would raise the marginal tax rates to over 50% on millions of small businesses that provide 75% of all new jobs in America. Investors and corporations will also pay higher taxes under the Obama program, but, as the Michigan-Ohio-Illinois experience painfully demonstrates, workers ultimately pay for higher taxes in lower wages and fewer jobs.
Mr. Obama would spend all the savings from walking out of Iraq to expand the government. Mr. McCain would reserve all the savings from our success in Iraq to shrink the deficit, as part of a credible and internally consistent program to balance the budget by the end of his first term. Mr. Obama’s program offers no hope, or even a promise, of ever achieving a balanced budget.
Mr. Obama would stimulate the economy by increasing federal spending. Mr. McCain would stimulate the economy by cutting the corporate tax rate. Mr. Obama would expand unionism by denying workers the right to a secret ballot on the decision to form a union, and would dramatically increase the minimum wage. Mr. Obama would also expand the role of government in the economy, and stop reforms in areas like tort abuse.
Photos from McCain-Palin Rally
These are a few pictures from the McCain-Palin rally that took place in Colorado Springs, Colorado on Saturday, September 6, just two days after Governor Palin’s historic speech at the RNC accepting the nomination for Vice President.
We drove down to Colorado Springs and arrived at the airport at 8:30 am. The line to get in was probably half a mile long. When we heard there were no porta-potties, we regretted drinking those coffees during our hour long ride from Denver.
By 10:30 am we got close to the entrance and the security screeners. We bought a couple of buttons but passed on the $15 McCain/Palin hats. Damn, it was hot and I could have used a ball cap, but none of us had brought much cash with us. Obviously, we are a bunch of first time political rally novices.
The sun was blazing hot at 11 am and 10,000 people were standing around with no water waiting for Senator McCain and Governor Palin. The jazz band sucked. We couldn’t even see the podium or the stage from back in the middle of the crowd.
Now this was promising. After speeches by the Bob Schaffer, who is running for the Senate, they opened it up and let part of the crowd get inside (out of the sun!) and closer to the podium. It was 12:30 pm and we’d been standing and waiting for Sarah for 4 HOURS.
Some of the things Sarah said were repeated script from Wednesday night at the RNC but we didn’t care. We screamed and hollered for her anyway. She could have stood up there and read the phone book and we would have loved it.
Sarah Palin spoke for a few minutes and got a tremendous cheer. I saw homemade signs like “Thank you Alaska” and “Sarah, you had us at hello” and “Sarah Barracuda”. We had managed to get from about 100 feet from the stage up to about 15-20 feet away. Just like going to a rock concert! Good times. Good times.
I didn’t take this shot but found it on the internet. It shows the two McCain airplanes in the background and the podium in the foreground.
Governor Sarah Palin spoke first and seemed truly amazed at the size of the crowd on a Saturday, and the overwhelming enthusiasm. McCain got a real kick out of it too.
How cool is this? That’s John McCain, the future 44th President of the United States.
They passed out thousands of small American flags. This turned out to be the infamous ‘Flag controversy’: a worker at Invesco Field claims he found 12,000 of these beautiful close 12″x16″ flags in black plastic bags next to the trash after the Democratic Convention concluded with the Messiah’s speech the Thursday before. The crowd loudly boo’d when they heard the flag story and had a great time waving them at the rally.
McCain’s plane took off for Albuquerque at about 1:45 pm right after the Colorado Springs appearance.
Go McCain/Palin 08!
Another Gaffe from Dear Leader Obama
A new ad from the Obama campaign ridicules John McCain for not using the Internet. While they are trying to portray McCain as “out of touch”, they Hussein Obama people do not know that McCain’s war and POW injuries prevent him from “combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoelaces.” McCain does in fact, use the internet and has mentioned that he visited realpolitics.com, drudge, and even Politico, as well as his daughter, Megan, blog.
So Obama thinks he has some sort of superiority over McCain because Big Mac doesn’t type? Can Obama land a fighter jet on the deck of a carrier?
I didn’t think so.
