The scariest part of the entire process is how the media has shifted from reporting the story, to becoming the story. I have found that the press by and large glosses over some serious concerns, or dismisses people who express doubt as ignorant or racist. Why is it that opposing a candidate has to be based on racism? Could it be that as someone with the most liberal record in the Senate, Senator Obama doesn't hold views that I support? Yet in countless forums, the troofers and followers automatically vilify anyone who says something opposed to the apotheosis of Obama. (apostheosis for those of you who don't know, was the process where Roman emperors attained divinity and became gods in their own rights-a symptomatic detail that led to the fall of the Roman Empire....)

If you want an absolute reason why you should beware of the glittering generalities of the Obama/Biden campaign, consider this quote from Joe Biden:
"we should be allowing bankruptcy courts to be able to re-adjust not just the interest rate you're paying on your mortgage to be able to stay in your home, but be able to adjust the principal that you owe, the principal that you owe. That would keep people in their homes, actually help banks by keeping it from going under..."

For those of you who don't understand the implications, interest is what makes payroll and keeps the doors open of you local bank. It pays depositors for the use of their money to fund other loans. This judiciary fiat of simply lowering the interest rates AND THE PRINCIPLE means that all a borrower has to do is become delinquent, and they get to set their own price. This is no way to run a bank or any other business. When you sign the contract to purchase ANYTHING, you commit to paying the cost on that paper. This dissolves legal contracts and creates a situation where more banks will fail because borrowers will simply stop payments.  So if you are enjoying this current bailout-which is absolutely chock full of pork, then you will love the next one two years down the road.

A word of caution: The Obama campaign has offered everything to everyone. Another Illinoian Lincoln said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." I realize Americans are short on math knowledge, but income and outgo must balance. What we have now is an already overloaded budget that will be made more cumbersome by implementing costly programs while claiming to reduce taxpayer burden. At some point you have to get the money from somewhere, or print it and drive up inflation. Beware the candidate that comes to offer you the moon, it isn't theirs to give, and it never was. It's your money they are after.

Licoln also once said "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt". This is what too many polititian have trouble with.

The news media -- all aspects of it -- has sold out to the highest bidder.

Your TV networks and major daily newspapers are little more than public relations vehicles for the Democratic Party.

The Media. Just what do you expect from a huge corporation? they're up there with all the "Fat Cats". they will tell you what they want you to hear, nothing more, nothing less. The Roman Empire. Very good analogy. The big difference here is that we can VOTE our gods out of favor. VOTE anything BUT democrat, or republican. I don't care who, just not THEM.

If you will look for my blog on blogspot Noincumbents this time you will see that I have considered that option for awhile now. Frankly, if the elections go the way I think they will, I will avoid public mentioning anything political to avoid getting audited. Let's remember how the Clintons used the IRS to audit anyone on their enemies list. I expect the same and then some from Obamaniacs. I will resort to lecturing via code using masterworks of art to explain. Let them decode that!

Now's the time people. They have done this to us because we kept putting them back in office all the time. They have been doing a piss poor job of it for quite some time now. You know, I heard a person on the news, teacher I believe, say that he would fire Hinajosa for doing such a piss poor job. WELL, don't you think the Dems, and Reps have done a piss poor job? FIRE THEM.

The news mesia has been selling out since Nam. It keeps getting worse and worse. They will spend hours on some stupid little story like "Homo Belittled In School" but ignore the entire country being robbed.

I was originally a journalism major in college. I got into a very heated argument with my advisor. He supported the idea that you can fudge facts to create an agenda. I said that facts should be presented and we should allow the readers to make up their own minds. He wouldn't budge and neither would I. I changed majors and schools as a result. That was thirty years ago. Now we see what that ethical balance has created.

I am a teacher, a mother and wife and I like to think I am a pretty good citizen. I read ALOT. I also write a good deal on various blogs. I appreciate a chance to respond to what we see in the news. I think that by posting our opinions we can probably find that everyone is more alike than we are willing to admit. Face it, people just like to argue. I would also like to say how much I appreciate having a forum for my views.
