Russia’s Agressive Actions: Blame the Democrats!
This country was formed on the backs of American individuals with the freedoms they were given, and in response to that built a country with success that is the envy of the world and other countries aspire to. Frankly, I am not ashamed of living in a country that the rest of the world envies and I will never want to placate those socialistic countries as Obama seems to want to do. I don’t want this country to become a member of the European Union. I still want to live in a country that the world turns to when they need help - not someone who will use the fiddle of socialism to play as Nero did while Rome burned. In other words, Obama WILL destroy this country of guts and glory.
Something new… Republicans for Obama… one of them is ex-Congressman Jim Leach from Iowa. I wonder if this has something to do with McCain being against massive taxes from the American people being used to subsidize farmers to raise corn for ethanol that is raising the price of fuel for every American and inflating the cost of food to harm the rest of the American citizens. Instead, McCain wants to get our ethanol from Brazil, which is a lot cheaper and is made from sugar cane, which does not raise the price of food on meat, dairy, bread, and all the staffs of life.
New Hampshire Debate, Focus Groups, and Fair Moderators
I was very impressed by the focus group of voters that Frank Luntz fielded. I hope that the other voters in New Hampshire are just as perceptive as those on Fox’s forum conducted by Chris Wallace. I’m afraid, however, that there are those voters who have the mindset “I voted for McCain the last time, and I will vote for him again.” I think there should be another state prior to Iowa and New Hampshire to give more balance to choosing the parties nominees.
I saw one of the talking heads on tv saying Romney didn’t win the forum debate, or whatever you want to call it, saying McCain and Giuliani did better. I use to respect this analyst’s views, but no longer. In fact, I have lost respect for 90 percent of the talking heads. So many of them have their own axe to grind. Another thing of interest to me is the way two of the three Presidential candidates, or three of the five, gang up on another candidate, as to Edward and Obama on Hillary or McCain, Huckabee, and Giuliani against Romney - I don’t respect these kind of attacks. Since I was a kid, ganging up on one was fought against and considered wrong.
What I would like to see is someone saying “I stand by my record” and telling what their record was instead of trying to obscure their record because it was not a good record. Those I have reference to, of course, are McCain and the Huckster. Should either of these win the party’s nomination, I will vote for Obama. I saw on Drudge where Hillary is close to getting out because of lack of money. That will never be true as long as there is a China.

While this fiasco election, called Iowa State Caucus, is unfolding, this date I will write about a few other things.
The Democratic Congress is starting off the new year in their usual way - no legislation, but lots of investigations. They did this all through 2007 and now are continuing into 2008. They are now after CIA agents who might have used some unusual methods to gain information from terrorists to save American lives. That doesn’t matter to the Democrats. All they want to do is take away all tools available to secure our safety and to embarrass the Republican party. They have ruined many lives by their allegations, which they use as weapons, whether based in fact or not.
We know how they participated in helping Bill ruin the lives of Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and lie straight out to the American people about Monica Lewinsky. And he also lied to the Grand Jury. And boy do they cover for their own - Jack Murtha, Alcee Hastings, Barney Frank, the Cold Cash Kid (William Jefferson), and then they go with vigor to attack Republicans for any and everything. One instance of this is Senator Conrad Burns, who was defeated due to their allegations and long knives, but has been cleared of all allegations.
The politics of energy has reared its ugly head. Constantly during the past few years, no action has been taken except subsidizing crops that can be used for ethanol, which will make these crops too high in price for the farmers feeding out beef, pork, chicken, etc. It will represent the highest grocery prices ever and will hurt, drastically, poor families, but will make the environmental nuts feel good and will not hurt them because they are in the main, children of liberal activists with wealth, and have never faced any real obstacles. In other words, they are rich brats, such as Robert Kennedy Jr. and Al Gore.
If congress was really concerned, they could open up Alaska and use the oil shale in the western states. This would help, immeasurably, our balance of payments and would lower the deficit. There will be no action taken on this by Congress. It’s the same as the social security problem, which they will not touch.
Sphere: Related ContentMedia Manipulating Candidates and Stock Market Manipulations
Watching the stock market these days, it’s easy to see by the fluctuations in the market that an SEC investigation into those large corporations manipulating the market with computer buying and selling should be due. These practices will not encourage Joe or Mary citizen to participate. I am amazed by how they take the same factors to say it’s time to buy, then shortly afterward the same factor appears and they say “It’s time to sell.” Exploiting of the economy for their greed should be a matter of great concern to the SEC. If you were a conspiracy theorist, you might say the SEC is in league with them or taking a few bribes, and if they are participating in buying and selling stocks, they should be prosecuted. The manipulating of the oil futures should also be investigated.
With the ethanol fiasco, I can imagine what the manipulations of corn, wheat, and soybean futures will do to the cost of food in the coming months. Beef, pork, lamb, and chicken meats will reach much higher prices. Milk, eggs, and cheese and all products in which they will be used will increase in price. I wonder if they might consider putting the cost of food back in the inflation index. Is it any wonder that they took the cost of food out of the inflation index?
Like everyone else, I have been watching the election and the polls. There is only one thing I will say for sure - if Huckabee gets the nomination, I will stay home for the first time since voting for Eisenhower in 1956. I would also stay home if Ron Paul got the nomination, which is highly unlikely. The Democrats have been using hate Bush, fear, and doom and gloom in their messages to their voters. As a party, they have always been the party of pessimism and despair.
Here we all are on pins and needles waiting for the outcome of this fake election in Iowa. I know it wasn’t Hillary that crossed the picket line to appear on a late night show - it was the Huckster on Jay Leno. I guess he don’t think social Conservatives or evangelists belong to unions. I think he has put the evangelists in Iowa on the same par as the Arkansas evangelists. I hope they prove him wrong. Arkansas, especially Hope, Arkansas, must have a training program for slick politicians. First there was Slick Willy, now there is Slick Huckster.
They talk about Hillary’s negatives. Huckabee’s are going to be a lot worse if he wins the nomination - God help the nation!
