Pre-Election Reading --UPDATED-- Updated II

UPDATE ii: 

 Text:

Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter.

That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.

That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.

The only thing I've said with respect to coal, I haven't been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them.

UPDATES:

From Atlas Shrugs:

Jerrold Nadler Democratic Congressman, at Atlas Shrugs, via YID WITH LID
make this startling comment:

"Obama didn't have the political courage to make a statement and walk out." [of Reverend Wright's racist church]

One of my stops on THE GREAT SCHLEP.

I just came from an Jerrold Nadler event at the Boca Raton synagogue where he was lying through his teeth to make the case that Obama was good for Israel.

Words uttered today by Obama surrogate, high profile congressman (8th district New York) are devastating to Obama's character and lack of spine.

Nadler would love to take back words uttered today at 4:45 in Boca Raton (the mouth of the rat)
Nadler is asked how Obama could sit in Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church for 500 Sundays listing to the anti-semitic, anti-American diatribes

This is not going to be complimentary to Senator Obama ..... he didn't have the political courage to make a statement and walk out."

I have much more .............. but I had to get this up. I have much devastating video including Nadler professing that if "that there really were phone banks in Gaza, that would be a major campaign issue". He sid it would be all over the media and be a major problem for the campaign. And laughed at the idea of the Gaza campaign contributions - a story Atlas broke in July.

Here are the phone banks (al jizz!).

His presentation was so fallacious - so full of lies, and he invoked "lashon hora" and the shma" (!) - in a house of G-d. Such hubris.

When I queried him on Obama's malevolent presidential endorsements (Ahmadi Nijad, Hamas, Farrakhan, and Chavez, Castro) - he concluded: They're evil but they are not dumb. He said, they endorse him so that people will vote for McCain.

I kid you not... (continue at Atlas Shrugs)

UPDATE:

We the People ,  by Zack Lieberberg

I am a Soviet émigré. In 1982, I came to the United States with my wife, a one-year-old kid, and a two-piece suit that was almost good enough to go on job interviews. Oh, and I had 500 dollars in my pocket. I rented a one-bedroom apartment in the middle of a small Russian community in the Bronx. It cost me $246 a month, including utilities. I was instructed to go to the Social Security office, where I was handed $134 worth of food stamps. I brought them home and asked my wife, "What have we done to deserve this?"

I went to a Pathmark nearby and spent some of it on very basic necessities. In the line to the cash register, there was a black family right in front of me: a mom, a dad, and a couple of kids. And a couple of shopping carts filled with goods, most of which I couldn't even recognize. I thought, "That's how we are going to eat when I find a job." To my surprise, the couple paid for their bounty with food stamps. I felt no resentment. Quite the contrary, I was happy to be in a country where the unemployed lived so much better than programmers did in the country I came from.

In a month, I came to the Social Security office for my next allowance of food stamps and was told I was no longer eligible. They offered to put me on welfare; I declined. I came home empty-handed and asked my wife, "What have we done to deserve this?"

As you can see, we have survived it all. Actually, we prospered enough to lose everything we had when the dot-com bubble popped, which made us pleasantly anesthetized to the current economic hurdles, because now we, like Marxian proletarians, had nothing to lose, except we didn't have any chains either. And yet, we survived again, because this is a prosperous country, which makes survival so much easier, even for schmucks like me. But all through my 26 years in the United States I couldn't shake off the impression that chronic prosperity makes the people stupid. I don't mean individuals; I mean We the People.

Prosperity of a nation — unless the nation is Dubai, of course, — can only be built by hard work of its citizens, which, in the course of several generations, creates a culture of achievement, which, in its turn, ensures that the next generation will pick up where the previous one left off and will take the nation one step further. Unfortunately, people tend to forget the uniqueness of the culture that raised them, just like they never think about the oxygen in the air they breathe — as long as there is enough of it. They see nothing special about themselves or their compatriots. What they never forget, however, is that all people are born equal — be it in Scarsdale, NY, or Anar Dareh, Farah Province, Afghanistan. And since even welfare recipients in Scarsdale (provided there are any) lead far better lives that anyone living in Anar Dareh, the question inevitably comes up: Whose fault is it that no one in Anar Dareh can afford a four-bedroom house with a two-car garage in a quiet cul-de-sac amidst a beautiful middle-class neighborhood, 35 short minutes by commuter train from Manhattan? It's hard to tell. It would be even harder to explain why there is no middle class in Anar Dareh. Or trains either. Had we not known that all men are born equal, we could have thought that people in Scarsdale are, at least in some sense, better than people in Anar Dareh. But we are not about to make such a mistake.

Fortunately, there are places on this planet where similar contrasts exist side by side. For example, Israel, where a picturesque Jewish "settlement" is often located in the immediate vicinity of a stinking slum Arabs call a town. And since no one, at least in this country, can imagine that people may actually prefer living the way Arabs do, just as no one, at least in this country, would object to living the way Jews do, it is not difficult to pinpoint the culprit there: it must be the illegal Israeli occupation of Israel's own land.

After that epiphany, is it so hard to realize that it must be our fault that people of Anar Dareh have so far failed to adopt a constitution similar to ours, guaranteeing them all the freedoms we no longer even notice, including an impenetrable wall between religion and state, and, at the same time, adopt the national attitude that would turn the greed of individuals into a powerful engine of prosperity for their entire town? Generally speaking, the suffering of the poor must be the fault of the rich. Why can't we take from everyone what they can contribute and give everyone what they need?

What a stupid, chronically well fed nation we are.

My naïve predictions of the outcome of this year's elections failed miserably. Hillary, who, I thought, would easily move her family back into the White House, didn't even get to run. We the People, have decided otherwise. We the People have put forth Barack Hussein Obama. We the People deserve what's coming next.

Next Tuesday is a big day. Many of you will go to the voting booths to cast your votes either for McCain or Obama. This time, most of you will feel very passionate about their preference. To those who will, like me, will vote for McCain, I want to say this:

Obama is not a plague. Obama is only a symptom. The plague is We the People.

I am a Soviet émigré. I wasn't lucky enough to become an American by the accident of birth. I chose to become an American because I believed in this country. Do you have any idea how painful it is for me to witness its demise?

Pre-Election reading:

A Day of Prayer and Fasting for America on November 3, here, (hat tip reader Kwami Klu)

I hope all readers will join in prayer for this nation prior to the election on November 4, 2008.

Barack, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, ... by Michael Travis via email:

 While we have been justifiably pre-occupied with the U.S. elections, events in the Middle-East continue to spiral out of control with scant notice in the North American media. The Arab Nation or "Ummah", (in particular, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon) feels increasingly humiliated and forlorn by the brazen Israeli commando and air operations within their territory. Not reported in the Western media is the embarrassing fact that the recent U.S. operation in the Syrian village of al Sukkariya (Abu Kamal) , was instigated by intelligence handed to the American forces by  forward observation units of the IDF who have operated freely on both sides of the Euphrates for over a decade. The IDF special units have lists and photographs of Al Qaeda operatives wanted by the Americans and are more than pleased to pinpoint their whereabouts, electronically "illuminate" their positions for U.S. Special Forces , and contain the area while the Americans snatch the bad guys.

The continued Israel operations deep within enemy territory highlight the operational impotence of the Arab Nations whose reliance on outdated Russian and American defence systems have left them hopelessly outclassed in the 21st century battlefield. The Iraqis have modern PAC 3 Patriot Missile Systems and corresponding upgraded Engagement Control Stations (ECS), but these systems are manned by U.S. forces and under U.S. operational command. It is common knowledge in the region that the Americans (1.) have allowed a safe corridor for Israeli helicopters to operate along the Syrian border within Iraq, and (2.) when U.S. forces finally disengage from Nouri Al Malaki's Shiite Iraq, the advanced air defence systems will be returning to the U.S. also. These realities foretell even more humiliation for Iraq, Syria and Lebanon as they ensure that any joint attack against Israel (According to regional sources, this is inevitable, and quite irresistible to to the Arab leadership) will be complemented by huge losses suffered by the attacking forces.

While the American people are in the final hours of their election cycle, the enemies of Israel are hurriedly finalising preparations for another clumsy siege of the Jewish State. The fly in the ointment this time is the American presence in Iraq, and uncooperative U.S. command and control operations spread throughout Iraq and Jordan. An election victory for  Barack Obama will change the situation in a matter of months.

Tales From The Inside…The Real Problem With Obama's Khalidi
                                                                         by Gerald A. Honigman , via email
 
 

     This is the weekend when Americans set clocks back an hour for daylight savings time.
 
     Thus, I guess it's only fitting that, given all the current fuss about the Los Angeles Times's refusal to make public even a transcript of Senator Obama's love fest with Professor Rashid Khalidi and his ilk (no doubt, Jews included), I'll turn the clock back as well…but almost three decades.
 
     You see, Fox News means well, and while most of the mainstream media in general is either ignoring the story or downplaying it, Fox--and even the McCain people themselves--miss the real problem.
 
     It's not that Obama indeed has far too many friends, advisors, admirers, and so forth who are anti-Semites and/or anti-Zionists (not that there's really a difference--one deliberately targets Jews for "special treatment," the other, in a post-Holocaust world, carefully revises the target to the Jew of the Nations), it's that those folks demand that all others see justice only through their own eyes.
 
     While I was a doctoral student decades ago, this problem was already well under way.
 
     Having to be employed full time for financial reasons while doing my earlier, nicely progressing doctoral work at the Kevorkian Center For Near Eastern Studies, a consortium of Princeton, Columbia, and New York Universities based at NYU in the '70s, my bread and butter job later required a move to the Midwest. As hindsight is always the best sight, I realized later how huge a mistake that was…especially in those days. The Kevorkian has since gone the way of Khalidi's Columbia and too many other Middle Eastern Studies programs today.
 
     Part of my Columbus-based job involved guest lecturing at dozens of universities and colleges across a multi-state region to try to minimally balance resident anti-Israel professors. The Mid East Studies Association was already hijacked by Khalidi's buddies, and the only Jews that got/get ahead were/are those who out-Arab the Arabs in their hatred and vilification of Israel. In age when budgets were tightening, all remembered who buttered their own bread as well…and this undoubtedly affected what was and wasn't presented to students in the classroom. Mucho bucks have been donated to such programs via the Arab petro-spigot.
 
     To simply get a somewhat fair--not "pro-Zionist'--hearing about Israel, students are usually forced to take courses offered by the resident Jewish Studies Department. And, as should be the case--but in stark contrast to what will be described below--they will get an honest appraisal of the imperfectly human quest of a resurrected Jewish nationalism.
 
     Let me present just a few personal examples…
 
     Having been invited to be one of several presenters at a Columbus Citizen-Journal-sponsored event before hundreds of people on the Middle East regarding American foreign policy considerations in the region, I prepared accordingly.
 
     As I was slated to be the last to present, I listened carefully to the others, but when I heard an Ohio State University professor switch gears to present about how those nasty Zionists stole poor Arabs' land--Obama's friend Khalidi's same line--I had no choice. I tore up my presentation, threw it into the air, and unleashed both barrels in response.
 
     After the presentation, I was approached by another professor who introduced himself as a representative of OSU's Middle Eastern Studies program. After a chat about where I did my earlier studies, he asked me if I'd consider resurrecting my doctoral work. I laughed and asked him if he had heard what I heard coming out of the mouth of his colleague. Why would I put my fate into such an academic program's one-sided hands?
 
     I was assured that there were others at OSU who could serve as my Ph.D. dissertation advisor. On that note, while still working full time, I reentered academia.
 
     Not wanting to drag this painful tale of woe out, let me just say that my initial gut reaction proved to be all-too-correct.
 
     The tenured chief honcho who covered the modern Middle East certainly knew who buttered his bread…and into his hands I was placed.
 
     While teaching advanced classes on Arab-Israel themes, he never once mentioned such things as Britain's Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill's crucial Cairo Conference of 1921. It was that Conference which led to gift of almost 80% of the original 1920 territory of the Mandate of Palestine to Arab nationalism in 1922 with the creation of what would later be renamed Jordan. And the latter fact was never mentioned as well…! This in a graduate studies class.
 
     While also--but a bit more subtlety than Khalidi--promoting the theme of nasty Zionists and the need to create Arab state # 22 (2^nd, not first, one in Palestine), Carter Findley never once mentioned the plight of over thirty million Kurds who remain stateless to date, who have been gassed and slaughtered by Arabs (and others as well), and who had their one best chance at statehood aborted by a collusion of British petroleum politics and Arab nationalism. My work on this subject can be found on the recommended reference list of Paris's acclaimed Institut d'Etudes Politiques--Science Po.
 
     Indeed, the only time Findley ever mentioned Kurds at all was when he mocked their plight in Turkey.
 
     To his credit, the other professor ( I was his T.A.) invited me to do a presentation to students on the Kurds. Notice, however, that he too wouldn't touch this subject himself with a ten-foot pole. Afterwards, the Arabs in class caused such a commotion that I caught hell for merely presenting the plight of another non-Arab people--besides Jews--who were seeking a tiny slice of justice in a region proclaimed by Arabs to be purely Arab patrimony. The Arab genocide against blacks in the Sudan, subjugation and murder of Copts, Assyrians, Berbers, and so forth were going on back then as well…and, again, not a peep out the Findleys, Khalidis, and their brother Hebrew derriere-kissers and hypocrites over any of this.
 
     As just one last personal example of the problem Obama's Khalidi-type friends and advisors present, let me return to Findley's graduate seminars.
 
     I'll never forget one Greek Orthodox woman who I'm sure has a great position at some university today. I can't think of her name, but I do remember her well.
 
     Her idol was Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who spent World War II in Berlin at Hitler's side and organized a division of Muslim Nazis, 'the Hanzar.' He also played a first-hand role in instigating the genocide of Europe's Jews, Serbs and Gypsies. After World War II, he actively recruited Nazi officers into Arab governments of the Middle East.
 
     When she presented her research on the Mufti at our doctoral seminar, all the above was either white-washed or mostly ignored altogether…and Findley, of course--her mentor and featured guest at her wedding--sat through it all approvingly.
 
     Now, contrast this with my own research about Ze'ev Vladimir Jabotinsky…the man most responsible in the early Mandate era for Jewish defense against Arab slaughter. Findley had no problem emphasizing his alleged "fascist connections."
 
     When it came time for me to prepare for the last leg of my doctoral work, guess who was denied a dissertation advisor? So much for that other professor's earlier assurance that not all teachers were of the same "persuasion" of the one whom I shared a stage with that night in Columbus. Wasted time, thousands of dollars, etc…Left hanging in the wind, we moved to Florida not long afterwards.
 
     The above is too often the story on campus these days as well.
 
     A little bit of good news is that now there are at least some watch dog organizations and endeavors like Professor Daniel Pipes's Campus Watch and David Horowitz's Academic Bill of Rights. Still, academia largely proceeds full speed ahead, intimidating all who dare to disagree and dismissing critics simply as right wing fanatics.
 
     Israel continues to thus be placed under the high power lens of moral scrutiny by academic practitioners of the double standard, and woe unto all who beg to differ.
 
     So, my friends, the above is the real problem with Osama's Khalidi-type friends and associates.
 
     Being "pro-Arab" is not the concern--as Fox, meaning well, has nevertheless presented the case. At least they have made an issue of this...
 
     The problem has always been that for Arabs, anyone who claims that scores of millions of non-Arabs (whom Arabs once conquered during their own imperialist expansions) also deserve a slice of the justice pie in the region is by definition anti-Arab. There is no justice other than Arab justice. To be pro-Arab one must demonize and deny any others any justice at all.
 
     Whether Obama's alleged statement about Israel's "genocide" against Palestinians (Arabs by another name--most of whom came from elsewhere) and other gems reported to be on that unreleased LA Times video tape are true or not, Obama's admiration, association, and so forth of, by, or with the likes of Farrakhan, Rezko, Khalidi, Wright, Jackson, Brzezinski, Mr. Apartheid Israel Peanut, Malley, Soros, McPeak, Kkalid Al Mansour, etc. and so forth have to be beyond coincidental.
 
     And this should be the cause of real concern--even for those all-too-many let's jump onto the cattle cars for relocation again Jews.

Here is an open letter to the nation's hunters and sportsmen issued today by Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson, (via the Uncooperative Blogger, hat tip reader Mary C).

An Election Plea to Those Who Love Israel, by Sammy Benoit (Yid With Lid) at the American Thinker.

Whether he wins or loses, all signs point to the fact is Barack Obama will receive the majority of the Jewish vote in the presidential elections. But even a few percentage point shift in the Jewish vote can mean a McCain win in some of the key battleground states.

The astounding part of that is that Obama is receiving the vote DESPITE the fact that he has assembled a crew of advisers that have a negative opinion of Israel. Despite that a Barack Obama presidency may turn out to be the most anti-Israel administration since George HW Bush.  (continue reading)

Did Barack Obama Actually Attend Columbia???

Culturism and Barack, by John Press author of Culturism:

The election of Barack Hussein Obama will be a great event for mulitculturalism and thus a horrible one for culturism. Multiculturalism denies that western nations have a core culture. They would assert that America has no more of a tie to the heritage of British protestant culture than it does to Saudi Islamic culture If Barack Hussein Obama gets elected, if our President's name has an Islamic cast, it will undermine our ability to define ourselves as unique and in competition with other cultures.  (continue reading)

Ego and Mouth, Thomas Sowell:

Barack Obama has the kind of cocksure confidence that can only be achieved by not achieving anything else.

Anyone who has actually had to take responsibility for consequences by running any kind of enterprise-- whether economic or academic, or even just managing a sports team-- is likely at some point to be chastened by either the setbacks brought on by his own mistakes or by seeing his successes followed by negative consequences that he never anticipated.  (continue reading)

From Stop the ACLU:

Most blogs are already reporting on the surfaced video of Obama promising to bankrupt the coal industry, but more audio from the same video has him stating that electricity prices will skyrocket under his plan.  Please help get this info out there for the voters to find.  Thanks, Jay

   You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.

From Heaven Awaits:

Obama is a terrorist sympathizer. Obama will betray the Jews and Israel, and eventually the United States. Click here for more

Comments

[Debbie]

Thanks for the comments and links everyone.

No Compromise:

Thank you for your predictions. I think you have made some excellent points and agenda for conservatives after the election, no matter which way it goes.

On the results of the election, I believe Obama and the DNC will fight this to the bitter end, trying every dirty legal trick in the book to get Obama in office.

I'm hoping you are correct, that in the end McCain is the winner. I truly believe the polls are getting closer, but I don't trust the polls either. Look at 2000 and 2004.

I'm going to revisit your predictions here after the election. Thanks.

[No Compromise]

Wanted to swing by, and say hi and ask if you're doing well.

I want to make a prediction: I think McCain will win by a slim margin which of course Obama won't have the kahunahs to accept and will stomp up the steps to the USSCt, pouting and crying like the cry baby that he is claiming racism! **Picture screeching baby here**

In the end, the USSCt. will state that McCain won. After McCain wins the Right will go back to their slumber! But we can't! We must fight this out and get the R party back on track, sending the Marxists packing, and telling the RINOs to take a hike and articulate our message that we have the Right answers to solve America's problems.

We have to fight censorship, install term limits, prosecute the criminals on Capital Hill and stay on McCain's ass like white on rice--pun intended--not allowing him to pass any stupid legislation like SCAMnesty for the illegals, cap & trade, further hate crimes legislation and other stupid anti-American laws!

We have alot of work to do in the next two years and we can't sleep or focus on anything else except Islam, Marxism and until we let the Congress Critters know in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that we are here, and we are PISSED OFF, GET USED TO IT! Throw the bums out!

That's my prediction!

[Michael]

The important issue of course is whether or not B.Hussein.O is good for America.

The Israel issue is peripheral and I have addressed it here;

http://babbazeesbrain.blogspot.com/2008/11/michael-travis-baracking-ummah.html

[Stormwarning]

McCain may "die on his sword" but all of the rest shall die on swords of their own (different shape, different edge, different, yet very the same, with the same result).

I have my opinions as to what it means from a political and sociologic point of view. I doubt that I'll ever write them, but, without any doubt in my mind, I believe that this, the first true election of the Internet Age, has changed America forever (and not necessarily for the better).

[Skunkfeathers]

I understand the train wreck analogy, Debbie; but I will be able to look away. It pains me to see a nation undermine itself with the so-cherished, so-costly-to-sustain-with-the-lives-of-our-valiant-military right to vote, because of slick packaging with no real examination of what's really inside the package.

It pains me that dumbed-down socialist indoctrination is getting traction in a place like this.

[Rosemary]

Excellent work. It's a shame that you can get the facts that the so-called media does not think are important enough to report on, but let's find out how much the RNC spent on Sarah's clothing. Please explain to me what that has to do with foreign policy? I know it DOES help the economy! lol.

[Paul]

Well the McCain campaign appears to be letting people hear the coal tape mentioned.....I copied this from another site.

UPDATE: High five to the McCain/Palin campaign for jumping on this tape. I am in a suburb of Pittsburgh and just received a robocall stating that the future of the coal industry is in jeopardy. It tells you to listen to Barack Obama himself and then plays the tape above.

[PALADIN]

OH YEAH OBAMA IS GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD ALRIGHT. THIS CHUMP WIGGLES AND HE WAFFLES AND GOD HELP THE U.S.A. IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT. THERE WAS A PROGRAM ON C.B.C. THIS MORNING THAT RAN FROM 9 TO 11 AM, AND I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TODAY. YOU MUST PARDON ME , BUT THE MAJORITY OF EM ARE IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY'RE GONNA VOTE FOR THIS LIAR WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING HALF OF WHAT HE IS ALL ABOUT. THEN THEY INTERVIEWED A BUNCH OF FOREIGN JOURNALISTS FROM EUROPE AND ALL THEY COULD DO WAS SING THE PRAISES OF THIS CHUMP AND BADMOUTH SARAH PALEN. ALL YOU GET FROM A SOCIALIST GOV'T IS MORE TAXES, MORE DEBIT, MORE SOCIAL ENGINEERING, MORE CRIME, etc. I KNOW , WE ARE STILL SUFFERING A SOCIALIST HANGOVER IN THIS COUNTRY AND IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THE HEADACHE IS GONE. ALL OBAMA WILL DO IS MAKE YOUR PROBLEMS 10 TIMES WORSE THAN THEY ARE.

[Paul]

Debbie,The liberal Dems do not like nuclear power either and yet there would not be carbon emmissions from this energy source.It would be expensive however.
Have seen a wind turbine farm in Northern Wisconsin with 80 or so turbine blades not moving because of no wind.

[Debbie]

Thanks Paul, much appreciated.

[Paul]

Debbie,You have done a great job with this blog.
Have appreciated your articles.

[Debbie]

Layla:

Thanks for visiting. I'll be checking in with you all day Tuesday.

Ernesto Riberio:

Yes you are correct. Obama has already had a very negative influence on the US. It will take a long time to turn things around, especially if he is elected.

Edge:

I've been praying for so long now, as others have. Tuesday will be here soon, even though this has been the longest election season I've ever known. We will all be worn out by Wednesday, but the fighting really begins then.

The rebuilding of Conservative values starts Wednesday, November 5, 2008.

Skunkfeathers:

It's like a train wreck, it will be terrible but I won't be able to look away.

Stormwarning:

You have been consistent in your arguments. The problem is, many of Obama's supporters don't care about the issues or the innuendos. They are caught up in the moment, being able to get behind a Black candidate.

I also blame McCain for saying he wanted to run an honorable campaign. Unfortunately being honorable to him was never mentioning anything negative about Obama or his platform -- until the last few weeks. If McCain wins it will be in spite of himself.

Debbie out.

[Skunkfeathers]

My dutiful election night ritual -- dating back to 1968 -- will be interupted this year. I will not watch. I will not listen. If I wake up in the morning to an Obamination, I'll just hunker down and muddle on as best as can be, until '10. If I wake up and see smoke over Denver, I'll know Obama lost, and the loonies -- as they did in '00 and '04 -- are out blaming everyone for the loss, except for their candidate and their own mirror images.

Progressives don't win gracefully, and they just get downright stupid, dishonest and violent when they lose.

Anyway, my vote is cast, and my constitutional duty to God and Country is done for this election cycle.

God Bless America, and God Bless and protect our troops; 'cuz they'll get no blessing or protection from Obama, Pelosi and Reid. Only maligned, stabbed in the back, and minimized.

[Stormwarning]

Well, I'll be watching the election results at the Election Night Party of my Congressional candidate. The lack of satisfaction that I already feel about this election cycle (it is better called disillusionment) is that the focus was out of focus. Elements of influence that could have argued the issues, argued emotions and innuendo. Even though I've been writing that for months, I even heard Limbaugh say that the other day on his radion show.

Obama has been, from the outset, vulnerable on the issues alone. At this point, I don't believe that any amount of praying will change whatever the outcome will be. Personally, I believe we may be headed to another split election result, with the ultimate wisdom of the Founding Fathers holding the key to the Presidency. I'm probably wrong on that one too. But we'll see.

[EDGE]

I pray we can pull out a victory Tuesday. If not, I'll pray for 2010...maybe we can get some seats back!

[Ernesto Ribeiro]

Obama will betray the United States "eventually"?

Come on! He ALREADY did it.

[Layla]

Great reading and thanks for this wonderful roundup. I will be busy for awhile! :)
