I'm watching the Democratic Convention tonight. Barack Obama is speaking now. Here we go again. The sad, sad commentary about people who can't pay the mortgage, People who are driving cars they can't afford to make payments on, People who don't have enough money to make their credit card payments. Oh, things are sooooo bad! Mom and dad are sitting at the kitchen table at midnight wondering where the money will come from! They don't want to let the kids to see them like this. He's talking about the people in Michigan who are suffering from this horrible economy. (Don't tell them that Michigan is over taxed and has a poor business climate. Don't tell them Michigan is overprotected by unions that demand much from the hand that feeds them but not enough from the people they represent.)
Things are pretty bad according to Barack! What will he propose to solve America's woes? I'm waiting..................OH, his grandmother taught him about hard work! She gave him the courage to go on and become what he is today! He's attacking big business now, they have lots of responsibilities! "I am my brothers keeper",(I smell a tax increase coming). "I will cut taxes for 95% of taxpayers". In 10 years we will no longer need oil from the middle east by using (not drilling), clean coal and nuclear power! He'll help re-tool the auto industry and make sure they build cars we can afford! He'll advance wind and solar energy and create 5 million new jobs! He'll educate everyone and hire new teachers and give them higher pay!
If you provide service to our country or government you can trade your service for education! He'll give health care to everyone! He'll lower our insurance premiums or give us the same coverage as congress! He'll mandate coverage provided by insurance companies! He'll give us more sick days, more leave of absence, so we won't have to decide between a job and our children! He'll protect social security! He'll demand equal pay for equal days work for our sons and daughters! He'll pass new bankruptcy laws!
How will he pay for all this? He'll close loopholes and save Americas tax dollars by eliminating programs that don't work and make the rest more efficient. There will need to be more responsibility from each of us! We must all do our part! Programs can't replace parents! The government can't turn off our tv's! Mutual responsibility for all!
Oh, he's ready to debate McCain on foreign policy! He's for more troops! (in Afghanistan). He's going after Bin Laden in his cave! He'll take us out of Iraq so we can concentrate on future threats! He'll defeat the terrorist threat and protect Georgia from Russia by strengthening our alliances! Tough talk and bad strategy is not what America needs! The Democrats are strong on Defense? Oh my!! thats a new one! He'll end the Iraq war responsibly! (he won't say victoriously). He'll finish the fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban! Rebuild our military! Stop Iran's nuclear threat and Russia's advancement through tough renewed diplomacy! With new partnerships he will defeat terrorism, nuclear proliferation, poverty, genocide, climate change, and disease! He will restore Americas moral standing, so America is once again that last, best hope for all who are called to the cause of freedom, who long for lives of peace, who yearn for a better future! He'll pursue all these policies! It won't be easy, and will require tough choices!
He won't help stop abortion but he'll help stop pregnancies! He'll make sure gays can visit each other in the hospital! Immigration? Just a tease, he didn't have anything.
It's not about him, its about us! Change! Change! Change! The Change we need is coming! March into the future together!!
I'm sorry, but this guy actually scares me. This a socialist agenda and if this guy gets elected it'll be goodbye to My America. The land of the Free, home of the Brave! God protect us from ourselves.

Energy: Drill here! Drill now!
Over 70% of Americans think we should be harvesting more of our own oil. Which party supports the will of the vast majority of Americans on this issue? Democrats? Republicans? It will become increasingly difficult to determine as the Presidential Race heats up.
I'll admit, both parties have dropped the ball when it comes to energy. Both parites have caved to the minority environmentalist groups who are against any type of energy expansion. Even though we've heard our leaders say we need to become more energy independant, none have done anything to bring us closer to that goal. Sad isn't it?
Here we are, dependent on foreign oil, sending billions of dollars to unfriendly countries when those dollars could be spent right here supporting our own economy. On August 1st our Democratically controlled Congress closed shop for 5 weeks, leaving town without allowing a vote on the American Energy Act (H.R. 6566), an “all of the above” energy bill that would include offshore drilling. Nancy Pelosi played the role of the Pied Piper as she left town with her Democratic puppets following her. Republican leaders remained in Washington begging them to return to work and address this critical issue. What did Ms. Pelosi say? She said "Let them IMAGINE a vote!"
What's wrong with congress? What makes them think they can ignore the needs of America and put our Country at peril, bowing to those who deliver oil to us? Watch closely now, as Democrats begin to soften on this issue as Americans continue to cry out for more energy! The solution is simple, allow us to go get the oil. The Dems are going to complicate this issue and try to avoid looking like the guilty party as they block attempts to lessen our dependence on foreing oil.
WATCH, WATCH, WATCH!! Because for once, Congress can just do nothing and America will be on the road to energy independence .
Two huge domestic sources of energy–much of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) that surrounds our nation and the federal government’s oil shale lands in the West—will be open for drilling access on October 1 if Congress doesn’t extend a year-by-year appropriations rider that has stopped oil-shale energy production for the past year, and OCS production for 27 years.
By simply doing nothing, these bans will expire, and these taxpayer-owned resources will become available to add jobs, energy and national security for our nation.
The oldest of the bans is the annual rider that has been added to the bill that funds the government every year since 1981. It has made the U.S. the only developed economy in the world where it is illegal to produce our own energy on our own offshore lands.
The good news about these riders is that since they have to be renewed between now and October 1, the heightened awareness of Americans about our energy situation may mean that the nation will benefit, because, as everyone knows, if Congress is good at one thing, it’s doing nothing, and if they do nothing about these riders, America will be on the road to finally doing something about producing more energy at home.
Follow this link to Energy Freedom Day ! Support the effort to allow these riders to expire on October 1st. Also, watch closely as Democrats try to prevent the riders from expiring by attaching renewals to a must pass government funding bill and you will come to realize that you too are on the Republican side of the energy issue!

Are you voting for Obama?
Are you a Democrat?
If you are voting the Democratic ticket, I just absolutely must ask WHY?
Forgive me, but I honestly don’t think that you are in possession of the facts. I believe that if you were aware of the consequences of a Democratically controlled White House and Congress you would vote Republican. I believe a review of your own values would cause you to agree with me. Let me see if I can prove myself.
I’ll focus on major issues affecting our Great Nation, the United States of America. And by the way, do you love America? It seems vogue in some circles to denigrate our country. Tell me, is there another country’s citizens who do this?
Abortion:
The Saddleback forum left no doubt where the candidates stand on this perpetual moral issue. And don’t tell me we shouldn’t be legislating morality. We must, and do legislate morality all the time.
Obama and most Democrats support abortion. McCain and most Republicans support life. Where do you stand? Do you support the woman’s right to make the decision to abort? It’s her body right? How many of us know someone who became pregnant before marriage and took the morning after pill or decided on abortion? How convenient was that? Saved a lot of grief didn’t it? Does that make it the right decision? Take a quiet moment right now please. Ask God. What does He say to you?
You might say “This is America, home of the free, let everyone make their own free choice.” Well, Just because we are a free society, should that give us the right to kill our babies? I don’t think so. Republicans are on the right side of this issue.
When does life begin? At what point does a fetus gain constitutional rights? Once again, from the Saddleback forum, Obama has no idea when life begins (its above his pay grade), McCain believes life and rights begin at conception. At what point do you believe that life begins? It begins at conception doesn’t it? You would be on the Republican side of this issue.
Barack Obama is hoping to grab evangelical voters by misleading them about his pro-abortion views. But Obama cannot run away from his far-left track-record. Obama has always supported the controversial 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that made abortions legal. He previously spoke AGAINST a law that would give life-saving care to babies who survive failed abortions, but now the Democrats have changed their tune to say he also “strongly” backs a woman's decision to carry a pregnancy to term. Obama doesn’t believe babies born alive during a failed abortion should have the same rights of other babies. He’s said “whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause or other elements in the Constitution, what we’re really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a—a child, a nine-month-old—child that was delivered to term.”
If you haven’t seen the Saddleback forum answers on this issue, please view the video below.
Barack Obama has the most liberal voting record of any US Senator and his VP pick, Joe Biden, holds the 3rd most liberal voting record. The possibility of an Obama Presidency along with the likelihood that Democrats will gain additional seats in the House and Senate is a disastrous scenario for the United States.
