Wants McCain thus far.
I know it’s early, and it’s still good to see that 8-3 electoral college vote, AND McCain leading the popular vote.
Tom Bradley syndrome here we come!

It’s a very simple axiom.
I learned this when I worked at the grocery store during my 18-22 age years.
I witnessed crying toddlers who wouldn’t stop crying until their guardian bought them candy, that little toy, or whatever.
So guess what happens the next time said toddler goes through the store. Yup, you guessed it…more crying. Obviously, this is the type of behavior that gets the reward.
I can’t say I was a perfect father, but one thing I practiced was to reward good behavior in my daughter, and ignore the rest. So, I got more of the behavior I wanted.
If you reward those who make less, those who clamor only to get a piece of those above them,,,you get more of the disenfranchised, more of the poor, and more of the same class of citizen we’ve been getting ever since LBJ’s great war on poverty. Poverty today is worse than ever, DESPITE billions of gov’t dollars being thrown at this problem. If anything, those making over 250K, or 200K, or 150K, or whatever BO’s camp is touting these days, should pay a LOWER percentage. Even at a LOWER percentage, they are STILL sending TENS OF THOUSANDS more to Uncle Sam than anybody under 100K! Why not reward the financial strivers? Seems to me we need more of them.
The best way to help the poor is not to become one of them yourself.
So, the simple question becomes (and I guess I’m just pandering to the conservatives because the liberals never get it),,what do you want more of?

Bo disses the Constitution, and talks about the means necessary to start redistributive change.

As Election Day
rapidly approaches, many Americans are wondering why so many of their countrymen reject a genuine war hero with decades of experience, one whose pro-life, limited-government values pretty much reflect those of Middle America. Instead, these same countrymen are enthralled with a man who not only has no experience or qualifications for the job, but who is, in fact, the most radically left-wing major-party presidential candidate of our lifetime, having been mentored and supported for decades by terrorists (Ayers), communists (Davis), America-hating racists (Wright) and criminals (Rezko).
Doesn’t make much sense, does it?
We live in tumultuous economic times. The media is quick to report all tales of fiscal doom and gloom. The consumer confidence index recently fell to an all time low.
People in post war Germany were also scared. They took a fancy to a man extolling the virtues of Socialism.
Am I suggesting Obama has visions of genocide and the perfect race???
Of course not.
I’m just saying large masses of otherwise intelligent people can be swayed by a man with little more than oratory skills.
Why vote for McCain?
Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else.
How does this list of McCain’s character compare to BO?
War hero. Annapolis graduate with ‘Country first.’
Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy Officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.
Oh, and he was unfaithful to his first wife and later divorced her.
If you take a look at the last couple Presidents who were undying faithful to their one and only spouse, that list would include the following: George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon & the best President of that lot Gerald Ford. Hardly good precedents.
Matter of fact, McCain mirrors most closely Ronald Reagan who also divorced his first wife. Reagan sounds like better company.

It’s making this country a bunch of wienies anyway.
I wonder if there are any polls given to people with less than a high school education.
I bet many of them support Obama.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhbH9IYirD0 Those voters sure are informed on the issues.
I wonder if those “glandularly challenged” people who blame their obesity on McDonalds and Pizza Hut show a large proportion of Obama Supporters. I mean, after all, aren’t all these trial lawyers very existence and allegiance owed to these folks?

I wonder what percentage of permanently “disabled” folks, welfare mothers, and people who live off the government tit are for Obama?

We need to give more to these folks so hopefully we can produce more of them.

I did this in response to Catherine’s daughters request for help.
And, God forgive me, I just get more and more polarized when I read some of the leftist crap.
