an update to my last post.
Read, I repeat, read don't watch The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon. It may remind you, surprise you what you may learn.
Also, while you're looking stuff up, check out a man named Antonio Gramsci - he was an Italian Marxist who came up with the whole seizing control of independent companies and making them government owned/operated companies. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are two of the largest and, of course, shining examples of the types of companies. Why did he come up with this idea? They (the Marxist's) were trying to figure out how to take their cause and be successful in the West. This was it ladies and gentlemen, this was his brainstorm, this was his idea, and look what is happening today. Karl Marx's ideas are idealistic and impossible - have any of them succeeded?

being politically active in a crazy season.
I hate politics. Hate it. Ask almost anyone who knows me, I would rather stick a fork in my eye than spend more than the 15 seconds it takes me tell you I don't like politics discussing it. I sincerely feel like it is one of the most divisive issues in life. However, like a lot of people turned off by politicians and their "representatives" I feel like this election is important. We have a lot of issues facing us as a country and not a lot of answers(or ideas, for that matter) coming our way. The most important is the economy. Our economy is in the tank(as I predicted and many others did with the 700 billion dollar "bailout" POS* that was passed by our wonderful congress and signed by our fantastic president...). And nearly half of the country - 47% to be exact - feel that Congress has more power over the economy than the President or the Fed Chairman. Personally, I feel that congress has more power over most everything than the President, but that's just my opinion.
Speaking of congress, they have a 18% approval rating, while 51% of those polled thinks they are doing a "poor" job. Well, to that I say one thing - DUH! They've done nothing significant except for cause trouble with things they shouldn't be involved in. Steriods in Major League Baseball? Seriously, that was such a pressing issue that they spent months in hearings over it. Really?
But, back to the economy. Go to www.barackobama.com and check out the Obama-Biden Tax Calculator on the front page. Fill out the information asked(which is generic i.e. what's your annual salary, do you have college expenses,etc) and calculate. I, at the bottom of the barrel, receive a whopping $500 extra - why? Because I'm single. Add a child to the mix(now I'm a single parent!) and I still receive $500. Please explain. In fact, I have to have at least 3 children to change my "tax refund" beyond $500! At that point it moves to $1120. That's really helping the kids Barack. And, because I am soo cool, I also spent some time on the website today checking it out. My favorite feature? "Login to myBO". Really. It's on the front page. Look at it. No one working for him apparently caught it. BO... Body Odor. I should work for those retards. I would've at least noticed that. Good Lord on High! Anyway, I will let you check the rest of it out - it's important.
On to www.JohnMcCain.com. Once reaching the home page click on "The McCain Plan for Tax Relief" and check it out. You won't get a nifty little widget(which is what is on BO's website..) to calculate your "personal" tax relief, but you will actually get to listen to Doug Holtz-Eakin(McCain's senior policy advisor) answer pre-written questions that are commonly asked by nosy people like me. :-) And you can also compare both McCain's and BO's tax plans. So go listen to it, check it out, and be an informed voter.
In all openness, I am voting for McCain. Why? Because Obama can't seem to reach beyond his words and show action. Because for more than half of his US Senate term he has been campaigning for a higher office - the Presidency - rather than working on fixing the problems we face with his fellow elected officials. Because we need someone who is willing to fight the right fight and not say one thing and do another - or better yet, do something and change it because he came under too much fire for deciding the way he did. We need a man in the office of the Presidency, not a boy. And because Barack Obama's running mate - Joe Biden - has no faith in his own running mate. Just look at his words, listen to them. Joe Biden is speaking out of his ass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlnUzsgqGQw
So, check everything out - their websites, other websites, and read, listen, and soak in everything you can possibly imagine in the next 8 days and go out and vote - call your local election board to find out where your voter precinct is and do it - VOTE!
*POS = Piece Of Shit. That's as nice as I get, too.

Crazy.
No matter what your political views and beliefs are this should not happen in the United States of America - ever.

Ignore all the words, just watch the actions of the people. That says it all to me.

Just because. PS - register to vote.
Well, all three senators involved in the presidential election voted "yea" for the bailout bill. They're apparently not in touch with me - or most people I run into. I'd like to take a moment to thank the following senators for voting against the bill:
Sen. Allard (R-CO)
Sen. Brownback (R-KS)
Sen. Bunning (R-KY)
Sen. Cantwell (D-WA)
Sen. Cochran (R-MS)
Sen. Crapo (R-ID)
Sen. DeMint (R-SC)
Sen. Dole (R-NC)
Sen. Dorgan (D-ND)
Sen. Enzi (R-WY)
Sen. Feingold (D-WI)
Sen. Inhofe (R-OK)
Sen. Johnson (D-SD)
Sen. Landrieu (D-LA)
Sen. Nelson (D-FL)
Sen. Roberts (R-KS)
Sen. Sanders (I-VT)
Sen. Sessions (R-AL)
Sen. Shelby (R-AL)
Sen. Stabenow (D-MI)
Sen. Tester (D-MT)
Sen. Vitter (R-LA)
Sen. Wicker (R-MS)
Sen. Wyden (D-OR)
Maybe they too feel that the we should not rush to save these failed millionaires (who, by the way, are still millionaires and shouldn't be) and should maybe spend more important time and resources on teaching our children how to read, write and add.
Did you register to vote yet? Tomorrow is your last day to register. Do it now - right now -on the internet. Go here and follow the instructions - or don't bitch: https://ssl.congress.org/congressorg/e4/nvra/ It's very easy - I ran through it myself to check it out - so you don't have an excuse.
I also found a very interesting article and expect to see a mass exodus to some of the following cities very soon:

You will understand when you see it. However, I didn't really see anywhere that I would truly desire to live, so don't expect me to up and leave for there anytime soon...

Bailout. Part 3.
Seriously? The Senate passed it? Wow. Dumb.
Interesting items you'll find in this bill as passed by the U.S. Senate this evening:
-Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502)
-Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)
-6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)
-Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308)
-American Samoa (Sec. 309)
-Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310)
-Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311)
-Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico (Sec. 312)
-Indian Tribes (Sec. 314, 315)
-Railroads (Sec. 316)
-Auto Racing Tracks (317)
-Wool Research (Sec. 325)
Just remember, this bill started as 3 pages. It passed the Senate at 451 pages.
Do we really need earmarks on kids toys and rum?

This is pathetic. What's even more pathetic is that people think this is a good thing. Do your research people, the government is bailing out PUBLIC companies not the American public.
Contact your House Rep. and your Senators - tell them how you really feel!
