Obama wants to spread the wealth around. Now that we’ve seen several “Joe the Plumber” ads, we’ve seen these people comment on how they don’t want their hard earned money to be given to the government. So do these people actually make $250,000 a year? A study on the website Payscale.com http://www.payscale.com/index/US/State) has shown me that [...]

Just be Tuesday, already.
Published by October 31st, 2008 in CAMPAIGN COMMENTARIES and Uncategorized. 1 CommentIt’s so close. The election is four days away, and I feel like I can’t turn on the tv or check my e-mail without being barraged by Michelle, Barack and Mark. Yes, I know there are only a few days left, and I’ve seen the polls, I know there is still work left to be [...]
I just saw this article and laughed out loud until I began reading, at which point I became a little uneasy.

The author attempts to prove that “running a campaign is like building a megachurch.” He first goes through the general history of a megachurch, which was inspired when a missionary in India decided that the [...]
The Republicans get their turn as Sarah Palin speaks to a crowd of 8000 people. That’s not even half of the spectators to the Obama rally last month. Obviously, this shows where Fredericksburg stands in the presidency (which makes sense, being a college campus and everything). Virginia has been a swing state for awhile, but [...]
I found an article talking about the internet newsguy’s possible declinde in power:

It stated Drudge’s possible out-of-touch-ness, due to his cautionary comments about Obama…..
On Monday, Drudge posted a link to this You Tube clip featuring an Obama radio interview from 2001 with a headline that blared: “2001 OBAMA: TRAGEDY THAT ‘REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH’ NOT PURSUED [...]
Perhaps the most absurd contention that has arisen in the final weeks of the campaign is that Barack Obama is a Socialist or Communist, or some perverted combination of the above. If anything, Senator Obama is the anti-Marxist candidate; a true socialist would be well served to vote for John McCain. Obama’s slight revisions to the tax code [...]

This little blurb on the New York Times website surprised me a little bit, but I quickly came to reconsider. It could be a dangerous thing to do, going on SNL so close to the election. It’s always a risky proposition, going on a show that has been lampooning you, sometimes harshly, and it could [...]
This advertisement appears to be headed by Leonardo DiCaprio, who seems to be equal parts activist and actor now. It’s a sequal of sorts to the first “Five Friends” clip, which featured many celebrities encouraging you to “not vote” unless you cared about things like healthcare, abortion, terrorism, etc.
This ad had another group of celebrities [...]
This op-ed appeared in the Wall Street Journal on October 30th , written by Mr. Fouad Ajami, Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, and an adjunct research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. The editorial says much more eloquently than I could ever express the fears [...]
2008 Election Halloween Costumes
Published by October 31st, 2008 in CAMPAIGN COMMENTARIES. 1 CommentIn the spirit of Halloween, I thought I’d talk a little about people dressing up as the candidates for Halloween. Apparently, according to this Martha Stewart blog, the CEO of Spirit Halloween, a popular costume company, was on a radio program and he informed the viewers that Barack Obama’s mask was outselling John McCain’s mask, [...]
These days, when it comes to relationships between domestic terrorists and Presidential nominees, mum’s the word! The history and possible working relationship between Senator Obama and American grown terrorist, William Ayers, is being ushered under the table. Ayers declines interviews and refuse to speak about Senator Obama. His illegal activity through protest and [...]
This study discusses an interesting gender bias between voters. Female voters were considered male candidates ‘dominant,’ male voters did not see a difference in dominance based on gender. This is expsing the kind of social structure that influences women to look at men as dominant. Without getting in to a nature v. nurture or logic [...]
After the third presidential debate, where the two candidates spent precious time of their talk commenting on him, Joe the Plumber has become part of the campaign. He has been mentioned in countless speeches, he has appeared on many newspapers, his story has become national known and a campaign ad based on his figure was [...]
What a relief not to dread election day.
Published by October 30th, 2008 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsFor the first time in a long time I feel like I can respect my future president. The days of embarassment are over. George Bush is almost done! Whether McCain or Obama wins the United States will be better off than we have been. Seeing the Obama ad that is effectivly his closing statement makes [...]
With only 5 days to go before the election (ahh!) I’ve been receiving mass e-mails and letters encouraging me to vote for Senator Obama. Out of the millions of requests that I’ve received two specific e-mails stood out to me, both of which happened to contain video links to youtube. Many of you may have [...]
Colin Powell Supports Obama
Published by tyro20 October 31st, 2008 in CAMPAIGN COMMENTARIES. 0 CommentsAlright, I know this happened about two weeks ago, so I’m going to give my opinions and I wanna know what you guys think. Colin Powell support for Barack Obama. We know it’s a stab at the Republican Party, considering that Powell’s been angry at the Bush Administration after the Weapons of Mass Destruction in [...]
