Get ready Sarah Palin, the left is launching a major offensive against you. Some of your enemies are the extremist left, liberal elitist and feminist women. Obviously feminist have a problem with you, because they only like liberal women in office. You did not opt for an abortion, when you found out that your child has Downs Syndrome. You did not advise your daughter to get an abortion, when you found out that she was pregnant. You are a card carrying member of the NRA, and you like to hunt. You are for lower taxes, and Domestic Drilling. How dare you!!
It is no secret that the "Elitist Liberal Establishment" despise conservatives in the Heartland (Fly over States). Obama will have to distance himself from these disgusting attacks, or this will back-fire on the Democrats. I predict that Obama/Biden will try to distance themselves from the attacks, but the left-wing bloggers/media will continue to hammer Palin with many despicable allegations. In the end this will back-fire and cost Obama votes in the General election!
What do you think?

That’s right. The Communist Party Of The United States (CPUSA) wants to elect Barack Hussein Obama as our President. In July 2008 it was announced that the CPUSA endorsed Barack Obama!
And why has their endorsement been so studiously ignored by our watchdog media?
Why do you think that is?
The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) is a Marxist-Leninist political party in the United States
Why do you think that this story was ignored by our media?
In 1984, because of the popularity of Ronald Reagan's anti-Communist administration and decreased CPUSA membership, Gus Hall (President of CPUSA) chose to end the CPUSA's nation-wide electoral campaigns. During the 1990s, the party recruited heavily in impoverished minority neighborhoods in the US, particularly in Black neighborhoods. As a result, there are many young Black and Hispanic members of the CPUSA. The CPUSA still runs candidates for local office. In recent years, the party has strongly opposed the Republican Party in the US; CPUSA strongly supports the Democratic Party against the Republicans.
GUS HALL (Former President of CPUSA)
At 15, Hall left school and went to work in the North Woods lumber camps, where he spent much time studying Marxism. At 17, he joined the Communist Party and became an organizer for the Young Communist League. In 1931, Hall traveled to the Soviet Union spending two years at the Lenin Institute in Moscow. Mr. Hall wrote a book back in the 1970’s called “A Lame Duck In Turbulent Waters” In this book Mr. Hall is quoted as saying that the Liberals in this country are useful idiots that are useful in advancing their cause! (Communism)
What are your thoughts about this strange endorsement?

Jake Tapper has done some research into Obama's family tree, and so far he's been able to count eight half siblings of Obama. One of them was George Hussein Obama found in the hut in Kenya, outside Nairobi, and George Hussein Obama is living on less than a dollar a month. We know that he gets newspapers from somewhere, because there are pictures of Barack posted on one of the walls of the hut. By his own admission, George Hussein Obama, has lived in this hut for years, with no change in his life whatsoever, and he is Barack's half-brother!
Vanity Fair found the guy in a hut. Vanity Fair found a guy in a hut without an outhouse, without plumbing. He's Barack's half-brother. Obama, "the least among us"! A guy who has four to five to $6 million a year in income, and he's got a half-brother living on less than $12 a year in a hut!
Since we have so many reporters at KTVI active on the political blogs, maybe they can do some research on George, and come up with an address. I bet many of our fellow bloggers would like to send money to Barack's half brother, so that he can have plumbing or perhaps a real house to live in. I know that I would be willing to send money to this man.

I watched Obama and McCain discuss issues Saturday evening at Saddleback Church, in California. It was hosted by Rick Warren, and I thought the questions were tough and fair. Both candidates had 1 hour to answer identical questions, posed by Rick Warren. The questions were asked separately. This format allowed the viewer, to get to know the candidate better, without any media filters or political spin.
If you watched this debate, how did you feel about the format?
Which Candidate did better? Explain your answer!

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'
From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and n ame names.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

Politicians keep promising a plentiful supply of alternative energy, but that remains far in the future, and much of it will be more expensive than $4-per-gallon gasoline. Ponder this: How could you afford any fuel that needs government subsidies to compete with $140-a-barrel oil? Those will never be affordable for consumers.
We don't have a shortage of oil and gas reserves; they've just been placed off limits. That's why 60 percent of our oil is now imported. And these restrictions caused America to lose more than 1 million jobs in oil and gas during the past 25 years. How many "green collar" jobs have we gained to replace them? Similar federal policies have blocked construction of oil refineries and nuclear power plants for more than 30 years, again increasing our dependence on foreign supplies of energy. Yes, our modern technology can produce the energy we need without harming the environment. Unfortunately, liberals have sought to demonize the oil and gas industry, hoping to destroy its credibility so the public will see it as a greedy bunch of rich polluters.
Yet the profit margin for oil and gas is about 7 cents for each dollar invested, according to Business Week. That's about the same margin as Avon Cosmetics, Amazon.com and Bed Bath & Beyond. And toothpaste maker Colgate-Palmolive. Apple, with high-tech gurus, was twice as profitable. So were Coke and Pepsi. And Microsoft and Google made four times the average oil company's rate of return.
But is anybody angry about the high cost of toothpaste, iPods or soft drinks? Why don't more profitable companies get raked over the coals by Congress? Because Congress doesn't need them as scapegoats. Lawmakers have messed up America's energy supply so badly that they need someone and something else to blame. They're creating a diversion, trying to brainwash the public into how to think and who to accuse. Another reason for high gas prices: federal and state regulations that require dozens of "boutique fuels," dictating different blends of gas for different regions. As a result, we no longer have an efficient national market that enables a surplus in one area to be shifted to another part of the country. Boutique fuels require expensive refinery shutdowns to change output from one formula to another, lowering production and risking overproduction for one area and underproduction for someplace else. Consumers pay the price.
A big part of boutique fuels is the ethanol mandate, now set by Congress at $18 billion a year, which shifted the corn supply from food to fuel. The mandate set off a domino effect as the government pays farmers to grow corn rather than other grains, and to sell it for fuel instead of food. And because corn is the major feed for livestock, the prices of meat, eggs, milk and so on climb along with prices for grain, flour, baked goods, etc.

In just two years. Remember the election in 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following:
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value
evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to
work with what's handed to him.

It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above
think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest
President ever. If Obama is elected, he will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is

Addiction refers to the habitual use of something for which one does not receive a benefit, or at least a long-term benefit. For example, we think of addictions as pertaining to the use of drugs such as cocaine or heroin that might give the user a temporary “high” feeling but that in the long term are injurious to his health. The term “addiction” denotes a moral choice, as though it were immoral to use oil, but moral to use a fuel developed from a different source. People use petroleum as the basis for fuel for their automobiles, heating their houses, powering vehicles used for work, and many other things. The assumption from the “oil is addictive” crowd is that these things are somehow immoral if they are done with the help of oil but moral if done by aid of another fuel. In the pre-capitalist, pre–fossil-fuel age, life expectancy was about 30 years. Environmentalists try to tell us those were the Golden Years. In other words, fossil fuels and especially oil have been valuable products for civilization as we know it. Petroleum-based fossil fuels have enabled people to enjoy standards of living that were unthinkable in the past. The difference between depending on something and being “addicted” to it is vast.
Second, the new Democratic Congress is attempting to levy stiff taxes on domestic oil (and natural gas), all in the name of trying to force down energy prices. Earth to Congress; slapping punitive taxes on anything ultimately raises prices for those goods and services. The obvious purpose is to discourage domestic production of petroleum, making oil-based fuels more expensive, which is ironic, since one reason that voters turned out the Republicans was that they blamed them for high gasoline prices. The reasons for such policies are obvious: Congress wants to end the era of fossil fuels altogether, or at least force consumers to use other fuels that Congress has deemed morally suitable for this country. That’s why Congress continues to push the “addiction” lie, as well as the fossil-fuels-create-global-warming myth!
The global-warming hypothesis, however, is no longer tenable. Scientists have been able to test it carefully, and it does not hold up. During the past 50 years, as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have risen, scientists have made precise measurements of atmospheric temperature. These measurements have definitively shown that major atmospheric greenhouse warming of the atmosphere is not occurring and is unlikely ever to occur. In science, the ultimate test is the process of experiment. If a hypothesis fails the experimental test, it must be discarded. Therefore, the scientific method requires that the global warming hypothesis be rejected. It's not surprising that they should have turned out wrong--after all the weatherman still has difficulty predicting local weather even for a few days. Long-term global predictions are beyond current capabilities. What mankind is doing is moving hydrocarbons from below ground and turning them into living things. We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result of the carbon dioxide increase. Our children will enjoy an Earth with twice as much plant and animal life as that with which we now are blessed. This is a wonderful and unexpected gift from the industrial revolution. Hydrocarbons are needed to feed and lift from poverty vast numbers of people across the globe. This can eventually allow all human beings to live long, prosperous, healthy, productive lives. No other single technological factor is more important to the increase in the quality, length and quantity of human life than the continued, expanded and unrationed use of the Earth's hydrocarbons, of which we have proven reserves to last more than 1,000 years. Global warming is a myth. The reality is that global poverty and death would be the result of Kyoto's rationing of hydrocarbons”
Arthur Robinson and Zachary Robinson are chemists at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine.
A 2005 RAND study estimates that about 800 billion barrels of oil trapped in shale are technically recoverable from the Green River Formation. This amount is more than three times the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia.
The US Minerals Management Service estimates that America's outer continental shelf holds about 19 billion barrels of undiscovered recoverable oil and 85.7 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered recoverable natural gas. But Congress has outlawed development there - even though the Chinese are planning to explore for oil within 60 miles of the Florida coast.
Drilling in ANWR would produce 1 million barrels of oil a day. Drilling in ANWR is equivalent to punching a hole in the ground the size of a postage stamp on a football field!!
The United States has more oil than the entire Middle East combined!! The beginning of the BUSH Administration (2001) GAS was $1.44 a gallon AVG, stable AVG to from there to 1.95. Then 2006 and the NEW DEMOCRAT CONGRESS and PRICESS LEAPED UP from 2.10 a gallon to today’s 4.00 a gallon AVG!! That is a 90% increase in 2 years!!
China, Cuba, Canada and others continue to drill off our shores where US companies are not allowed to drill because of Democratic policies!
Yes, that's right China and Cuba are actively exploring oil fields 50 miles from Key West, Florida while U.S. companies are barred from working in this area because of U.S. policy . So, instead of allowing the most environmentally responsible companies to operate there and increase our domestic supply, China, who has a dismal environmental record, is preparing to suck our close, lucrative oil reserves dry.
The U.S. hasn't built one since 1976, yet the EPA requires at least 15 unique 'boutique' fuel blends that can be sold in different areas around the nation. This means that U.S. refinery capacity is stretched so tight that even the slightest problem at a refinery causes enormous supply problems and price spikes. Congress has done nothing about this.
There are only two guaranteed ways to reduce the long-term price of a commodity, lower demand or increase supply. The United States could end its dependence on foreign oil in less than 10 years if the government would allow American oil companies to drill in areas where there are known reserves right here in the United States. Liberal and populist politicians get a lot of mileage out of promising to reign in oil company profits. But what they will not admit is that the Federal government, and governments at the state and local levels, profit far more from a gallon of gas than the oil companies do. The Federal gasoline tax is currently 18.4 cents per gallon. That's more than twice the average per-gallon profit of eight cents that the oil companies make. Since 1977, governments have collected $1.34 trillion in taxes on gasoline; more than double what all the U.S oil companies combined made in profits over the same period.
