Found this link. Think it was posted before but came across it again. This is what really scares me if O gets in. This is who O's affiliations are with.

There is so much wrong going on and sometimes it just feels like you want to explode (or implode). Can someone actually give names of some people in politics that actually are working for the good of the people and the country? There maybe a handful, but to me for the most part they are all working for themselves. They automatically vote themselves in pay raises behind closed doors after dark when nobody is watching. Then the politicians that I always believed were working for the good of the country and people of the country I hear they vote for giving themselves a pay raise. But it's just not that issue. It's all the other decisions they are making back there. I just don't know who to trust/believe anymore. There are a lot of politicians who are doing deals, hoarding money in off-shore accounts, living in mansions and not paying anything, not paying taxes, people being pitted against each other solely because of what political party they belong to, organizations doing whatever they want to do (which is why I'm not posting anything bad towards anyone on this board - never know who is reading). But over the past few years I have lost just about all faith in the government doing anything for the good of the country. You look at who's being picked for cabinet members, SoS, etc. People now don't need any experience to get into positions of power and deal with other countries. It's very scary, and we're becoming the laughing stock of the world (you can say it started with GW, but it's continuing on) - other countries don't respect us no matter who is the Grand Pubah. I get emails saying sign this petition and send it on to your congressman or so-n-so to let them know your not supporting this idea or that idea, but you know what...it doesn't matter. They could get every single citizen in this country to sign any petition and they don't care. They are going to do whatever they want to. The teabag thing...maybe it makes the people feel good, makes you feel like you've got a word, but they ignore it. I think they just throw them in the garbage and they continue to do whatever they want and don't care if the people are happy about it or not.
Also, I believe the country is run by much bigger people than what we are seeing. I have nothing against the O, or Present Bush, President Clinton, Carter, Reagan, etc, etc, because they are all just puppets for the people who run the country. They aren't actually the ones making the decisions, they are just the ones delivering the speeches.
As for Ted Kennedy. Did not realize he's still in office. Thought he was recuperating and living out the rest of his life (however much longer it will be) at his home. Didn't realize he is still making decisions. I really have no opinion on the Chapaquidik thing. Not enough knowlege about that, but there are a lot of older politicians you could say the same for (senile). There should be an age limit and term limit someone can remain in politics. Two terms. That's it. Then they have to go to the public sector. No more politics for them. Doesn't surprise me about the pension thing. Pelosi said to an incoming politician once. "If your not a millionaire now you will be one by the time you leave here". Well isn't that just special.
I'm just fed up with all politics/politicians, talk shows that whine about issues but offer no solutions. Sick of hearing Hannity say to his guests about how he's all set financially but such-n-such a decision will affect the "little people". If I hear how well off Hannity, O'Reilly, Olbermann or any of those talk shows hosts are doing I'd like to just spit.
I wish things were different, but here I am the only one who works in this family - husband has not been able to find a job in years, and now there's no hope of a future for him. I wish I could retire and do something else. Never in my life did I ever think I'd have to work and support us until the day I die. Now with the illegals being able to draw off the social security system I doubt very much there will be anything for me when I hit retirement age (15 more years to go) but yet I still have to pay 12% of my income into it.
Anyway...don't mean to ramble on here. Just tired of all the crooked deals going on in the news, then at the same time crime is going up and it seems like it's getting closer and closer to the day when people are going to have the right taken away to protect themselves in their own homes. It really makes me think we're getting closer and closer to some of the movies I've watched (Children of Men, and a good one is Equilibrium). Who knows what the future will bring, but it just doesn't look good and I'm ready to unplug from it all.
I take things as they come. I may not like them, but the world is changing and know we have to adapt or else we'll be prisoners in our own minds. I look back and think of the changes that have occurred in our grandparents lifetimes (telephone, computers, etc), and if they didn't adapt things would not have come as far as they have. I just hope things turn around and we see some growth for the country. Otherwise I look forward to 2012 (end of the Mayan calendar).
Here's a link I thought you might like. I wish we had this guy in our country.

This is just unfathomable to me (caution - rant enclosed)
I said once I'd never post on this board again, but this isn't a political issue, it reaches across the board. This just blows me away. 60 days' punishment for stealing this child's innocence and scarring her forever - it's just so far beyond appalling that I can't even think of a word that fits. I have to wonder if this guy would have been off the streets longer if he'd stolen a purse. Heaven forbid if he'd tortured a dog the way he tortured this child - they'd have probably thrown away the key! If he'd only gotten 60 days for it, you can bet PETA would have been all over it, but who is there for this little girl?Anyway, I have fired off a letter to Vermont's governor, for all the good it will probably do, and I am also sending prayers for this poor child.

President Clinton announces another record budget surplus
From CNN White House Correspondent Kelly Wallace
September 27, 2000
Web posted at: 4:51 p.m. EDT (2051 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Clinton announced Wednesday that the federal budget surplus for fiscal year 2000 amounted to at least $230 billion, making it the largest in U.S. history and topping last year's record surplus of $122.7 billion.
"Eight years ago, our future was at risk," Clinton said Wednesday morning. "Economic growth was low, unemployment was high, interest rates were high, the federal debt had quadrupled in the previous 12 years. When Vice President Gore and I took office, the budget deficit was $290 billion, and it was projected this year the budget deficit would be $455 billion."
President Clinton announces that the federal budget surplus for fiscal year 2000 is the largest in U.S. history
Instead, the president explained, the $5.7 trillion national debt has been reduced by $360 billion in the last three years -- $223 billion this year alone.
This represents, Clinton said, "the largest one-year debt reduction in the history of the United States."
"Like our Olympic athletes in Sydney, the American people are breaking all kinds of records these days. This is the first year we've balanced the budget without using the Medicare trust fund since Medicare was created in 1965. I think we should follow AL Gore's advice and lock those trust funds away for the future," he said.
In June, the administration predicted the surplus would be $211 billion, and would increase by as much as $1 trillion over the next 10 years.
"The key to fiscal discipline is maintaining these results year after year. We need to put our priorities in order," Clinton said.
The president's news comes as lawmakers on Capitol Hill continue to wrestle with the fiscal year 2001 budget numbers. The new budget year begins October 1, and work has been completed on only two of the 13 annual spending bills, as the Republican-led Congress and the White House remain at odds over spending allocations.
"I am concerned, frankly, about the size and last-minute nature of this year's congressional spending spree, where they seem to be loading up the spending bills with special projects for special interests, but can't seem to find the time to raise the minimum wage, or pass a patients' bill of rights, or drug benefits for our seniors through Medicare, or tax cuts for long-term care, child care, or college education," Clinton said.
"These are the things that need to be done and I certainly hope they will be and still make the right investments and the right amount of tax cuts," Clinton said.
Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Oklahoma, chairman of the House Republican Conference, said the GOP wants 90 percent of the surplus used for the debt. In a CNN interview, he said the other 10 percent should be used to "take care of a lot of priorities we have, like prescription drugs, making sure that our education needs are met, making sure some of our national security needs are met, and doing that while at the same time protecting the Social Security surplus and the Medicare surplus."
That approach would be in lieu of tax cuts, which "we can't do this year because the president vetoed it," Watts said.
Clinton unveiled the new numbers in a statement at the White House before departing for fund-raising events in Dallas and Houston.
"This is part of our fiscal discipline to reduce the debt with the federal surplus," said one White House official who asked not to be identified. Reducing the debt, the official said, has "real effects for real Americans." It means lower interest rates for mortgages, car loans and college loans, and leads to an increase in investment and more jobs."
It is the third year in a row the federal government has taken in more than it spent, and has paid down the debt. The last time the U.S. government had a third consecutive year of national debt reduction was 1949, said the official.
The federal budget surplus for fiscal year 1999 was $122.7 billion, and $69.2 billion for fiscal year 1998. Those back-to-back surpluses, the first since 1957, allowed the Treasury to pay down $138 billion in national debt.

Okay, thanks, that's not what my link said. SM
Mine also said he failed to mention this case when being questioned. Well, there's a thousand stories out there. It really doesn't matter to me. It doesn't affect how I think of him one way or the other.

Thanks for the link.
This whole thing is so ironic. Maybe Iraqi troops will be the next to come and participate in Bush's martial law.

The link to Bush Body Count is in the original post. Again, I don't believe a word of it, because I believe in innocent until PROVEN guilty.

What's the deal guys?
You said you cannot get the whole link...
to come up without it being cut off. It's too long? So, you go to tinyurl, cut and paste your long link, and they will make the link shorter for you.
How odd--try link below

So true about the media, isn't it?
Also saw this on CNN last night, and was surprised that they allowed this viewpoint on their website.

I've read it and can't tell if it is a more favorable article towards the republicans or democrats, so don't have anything to argue about that. However, the study only worked on 45 people? They are basing a study on just 45 people when the US is made up of 301,139,947 people (as of Jul 07). Like I say, I can't tell by the article which political group this benefits but it just seems to be an unreasonable basis to base the way a whole country votes on just 45 people (and all from the same region of the US) - again not sure if Nebraska is more liberal or conservative. Just seems like an invalid study to me.

It is a conservative newsletter that, IMO, tries to present an equally balanced view of what is going on. It is not always in easy to understand words, but you get an explanation that makes sense of what is going on.
Try it, you might just be surprised.

so I can see for myself. Thanks.
When you go to this link s/m
take the Match-O-Matic quiz at the right. It gives you quotes from each candidate and you have to choose which one you agree with the most and at the end, it matches you with the candidate you chose most often. Let's see how well we all know the candidates we are backing based only on what they have said.

I'm sorry that I didn't save the link to the video clip I mentioned. I did a search for Obama messiah on Youtube just now and I didn't find the one I mentioned. Much to my surprise there were tons of such videos with accusations. What I did find was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FyEZdy-Rag&feature=related (Again, I don't know how to make a link but copy and paste in your browser. It appears to be the real deal. I didn't watch it all the way through as I am really, really busy today, so you can watch it and draw your own conclusions.
If you go to youtube and search for Obama messiah you'll probably find the original one I was talking about which I believe to be a fake. The above link, appears to me to be Obama himself in his own voice with his recognizable body language.
Try this link instead
what link would that have been?

I usually give news accounts but in this case I think wiki has a really thorough description of the indident here:

You have to scroll about 2/3rd of the way down where you will see Calling for the investigation of the members of congress, reaction and partial retraction. Video is on YouTube which I really suggest you watch to get the full impact...it's really different than reading about it.

please post it. I would expect that it would be a chance for McCain to trash Obama. That's about all McCain/Palin has to offer.
Here's the link.
I made a mistake in my other post. I didn't mean to write that she asked the same questions. I meant to write that she asked the same tone of questions, putting down Obama. All in all, compared to the Biden interview, it was a McCain lovefest.
