Will Clinton Concede Tonight? 2008-06-03 11:30:00 With the last two primaries being held today Hillary Clinton
has no other option tonight except to concede the election. We can all breath a sigh of relief now that this primary battle is over. Clinton is apparently having a meeting with top donors and staff, and Clinton is rumored to concede the election to Obama. The question is now where do we go from here. All of Hillary Clinton supporters Read more:Concede

It Appears that One Obama does have a "Whitey" Problem 2008-06-02 19:32:00 According to Larry Johnson at no quarter there is a potential video showing Michelle Obama
has a problem with white people. This video is supposedly taped from Trinity Church, and has Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and Father Pflegar. While I have no clue if this is true or not all I can say is the Democrats better pray to God that this video isn't real. A video like this will destroy the Read more:Appears

This is What Gay People Need To Focus On!!!!! 2008-06-05 22:45:00 I happened to come across an article on CNN that made me think about what the Gay agenda really needs to be. It shouldn't be gay marriage. It should be making sure that GLBTQ and whatever other initial there is are treated equally in America. Now I know the debate can focus on working on gay marriage is working towards the equal treatment of all in our community, but it's not. What is the importan Read more:Focus
Obama Sets Rules for the DNC. 2008-06-05 22:20:00 Howard Dean still has a job. Obama
has decided to keep Dean as the Chairman of the DNC, and now that the Democratic Party is Obama's party he has mandated that the DNC no longer accept money from PAC's and Federally registered lobbyist. This is a great step indeed which will keep the party honest, and ran by the people. With Obama at the helm of the Party lets see if he can really bring about th Read more:Rules
Clinton Will Suspend Campaign on Saturday 2008-06-04 20:45:00 CNN is reporting that Hillary Clinton
will officially suspend her campaign on Saturday
. Hillary kept her promise and stayed in until all the votes were cast. It's upsetting to not see Hillary as the nominee, but everything happens for a reason. This just wasn't her time, and I respect that.

No Game Changer Tonight 2008-10-02 21:42:00 Another test has been passed. Tonight
s debate showcased that Sarah Palin is competant enough to become Vice President of the United States. She clearly demonstrated that she knows the issues, and while she wasn't perfect she can do the job. I was pleasently suprised with Palin tonight. I was looking for a major meltdown, and she delivered. Biden did a great job as well so lets not discount his per

Not Really Shocking Video but Must See 2008-10-01 23:34:00 This video will explain what a lot of us has already known about this financial crisis and who started it. I will have a blog out shortly with my views
Liberals Attacking McCain On His Age 2008-09-26 03:16:00 It is sad but expected when liberals can only resort to personal attacks because in their minds those are the "issues". Reported by the Ny Times that two liberal PAC's have a new ad that attacks Senator McCain
on his age. It ceases to amaze me how liberals accuse the right of using Rovian tactics, when they shamelessly place ads to attack McCain on his age. According to the Times this ad apparent Read more:Liberals

The Dem's Ultimate Plan Is Revealed 2008-10-21 13:08:00 U.S. Rep Barney Frank lets the world know what the Dem's plan is. This shouldn't be a shocker, but the plan is to spend and tax. Is this what you want?

Potential Michelle Obama Audio Tape 2008-10-20 23:45:00 There is some extreme buzz about a potential audio tape where MichelleObama
claims that Barack Obama was adopted by his step father. African Press International is claiming to have this audio tape and they will eventually release it. I've been hesitating to write about this since the "Whitey" tape never appeared. This claim seems to appear legitimate. If this audio tape does exist it could be dis Read more:Potential

The Powell Endorsement 2008-10-20 09:08:00 Colin Powell
yesterday endorsed Barack Obama for President, and while the media would like you to think that it's a shocker, and a very important endorsement this wasn't a sup rise. Powell has been hinting for awhile now. I find it extremely odd that Powell doesn't use Obama's race as a reason for endorsing him. Powell stated that he "would have difficulty with two more conservative appointments t Read more:Endorsement
McCain Finally Calls Obama Out on His Socialist Policies 2008-10-18 10:17:00 It took McCain
a long time, but he finally called Obama
's tax policies socialist. What McCain needs to do though is explain to Americans why socialist policies are disastrous. Americans don't respond to the word socialism they need to realize the short and long term effects of what Socialism can potentially bring to this country. I wish McCain would've taken this path earlier because it truly woul Read more:Finally

Is the Narrative More Important than Potentially Wrecking Our Country????? 2008-10-17 13:43:00 I've been tossing this around in my head, and debating to myself if I should even write this post. It is hard as an African-American to reject Barack Obama, and not vote for him to be President of the United States. I am proud as an African-American to witness something I thought I would never see. As an American though something more important is at stake, and it's been lost in this race because Read more:Country
The Left is Out to Draw Blood. 2008-10-16 22:34:00 Now that Joe the plumber has become a campaign issue the left is at it again. Since Obama let his true socialist intentions slip when he said he wanted to "spread the wealth" the far left is now in attack mode and attacking Mr. Wurzelbacher. Why all this hatred towards Joe? Could it be that Obama has to own up that he is a Marxist, and wants to redistribute the wealth of successful Americans. It i Read more:Blood
Americans need to wake up!!! 2008-10-16 21:42:00 Conservatives spirits are really down right now, and it's obvious as to why. The polls have overwhelmingly went in Obama's direction, and it's not letting up at all. The economy is in the toilet and America wants to blame Republicans, and the concept of laissez-faire economics. Obama has crossed the 50% threshold in numerous polls, and the electoral map is shifting heavily in his favor. According Read more:Americans
FBI Investigating ACORN 2008-10-16 13:03:00 It's about time that the FBI
investigates ACORN for it's scrupulous actions. Their has been reports all over the country of voter registration fraud, and it all comes back to ACORN. This group recently registered Mickey Mouse as a potential voter. ACORN claims to be non partisan group and will register anybody, but ACORNS intention is to elect Barack Obama, and they have no qualms letter everybody
You! Yea You Caused This Mess Too!!! 2008-10-16 04:03:00 I find it hard to believe that there is a culprit that is not being blamed for this economic mess that we are in. That culprit is the American public. I know it's shocking to hear this, but someone needs to say it. You caused this mess just as bad as the government and wall st. did. I'll be more than glad to tell you why, and that's because you wanted to live outside your means. You wanted to keep
Sen. Obama I'm not President Bush 2008-10-16 03:24:00 This was the best line of the debate. I was so happy for McCain for finally saying what he needed to say on the first debate. Chalk one up for McCain.

Where are the Racist Complaints Now???? 2008-10-15 23:57:00 Earlier today U.S. Rep John Murtha stated that "his home base of western Pennsylvania is racist and that could reduce Barack Obama's victory margin in the state by 4 percentage points." I'm sorry, but where is the media now complaining of racism. These are shameless tactics being used by the Democrats and it needs to be stopped. Democrats have always complained that Republicans will do anything to Read more:Racist
Debate Recap 2008-10-15 23:41:00 It’s just another sign that this election is coming to a close, and the third Presidential debate is over. The gloves somewhat came off tonight, but McCain didn’t bring enough heat to really turn this election around. It’s unfortunate though because McCain really had some good opportunities to hit Obama hard and he missed. When discussing their respective tax policies I was disheartened when Read more:Debate

Scratch $150 Billion and Make that $300 Billion! 2008-10-15 11:13:00 The Democrats truly believe that money just grows on trees. It is being reported that a second economic stimulus package that could cost tax payers $300 billion. Queen Pelosi is planning on calling Congress back to session late November after the election. The plan with this second stimulus package is to continue the handouts. The overall goal is to get the entire American public dependant on the Read more:Scratch
What Can We Expect? 2008-10-15 00:55:00 Later on this evening Barack Obama and John McCain will meet for the final presidential debate, and the stakes couldn't be higher for John McCain. McCain is lagging in the polls but a large margin, and he needs a game changer. My advice is to pull out all the stops. McCain has nothing to lose at this point, and he needs to clearly show that Obama's socialist policies could be disastrous for Americ Read more:Expect
Obama Stealing Hillary's Plan 2008-10-15 00:10:00 It's amazing how Hillary
was actually ahead of the curve with the moratorium on foreclosures. Back in the primaries if anyone actually remembers Hillary Clinton's economic plan included a 90 day moratorium on foreclosures, and Obama
had opposed that. If we go back in time Obama said that Hillary's plan was potentially "disastrous" rewarding "people who made this problem worse". It's always been Read more:Stealing
Wow If These Are Real Obama Supporters This is Scary 2008-10-14 23:56:00 So I landed across this on youtube and thought I'd share it. Howard Stern apparently sends someone to Harlem and switch's Obama

Even the Fraudsters Want Obama to Win! 2008-10-14 13:03:00 It appears as if credit card thief's support Obama
's run to be President. Being reported here details a Kansas City couple reporting fraud on their credit card. I just find it funny that the fraudsters didn't buy a new big screen TV, but instead donated $2300 to Barack Obama.
Let the Nationalization Begin 2008-10-14 12:35:00 As part of the rescue (socialist) package the US government has released a plan to take stakes in some of our countries largest banks. JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and more are set to receive the governments money in exchange for the government to have preferred equity stakes in those companies. Ladies, and gentleman the nationalization of our economy has begun. It won't stop here. More mone
Spread the Wealth??????? 2008-10-14 12:13:00 Obama's recent comment about spreading the wealth around should alarm Americans. Do we need anymore proof of the socialist policies that Obama and the Democrat controlled congress will offer up. This is dangerous folks. I'm not rich by any means and I see the horrible implications of an Obama administration. Obams's tax policy would essentially take more money from the rich, and provide flat out h Read more:Spread
