In Reply to: typical pub response -- sidestep the question - and answer your own question instead
You seem to be stuck on thinking anyone who is against Obama MUST be a republican. That is a very close-minded way of looking at this but if you need proof that the "pubs" aren't the only one screaming fraud, take a look at the DEMOCRATIC, yes, that's what I said, DEMOCRATIC election officials in Ohio alone who are saying they are seeing tons of voter registrations coming in in waves, with thousands of them frauds. They all have the same hand writing, false information, etc. Sorry to disappoint you again.

I did my homework
While everyone knows that McCain wishes to stay in Iraq “for 100 years” (those are his words), and his attitude toward every enemy and perceived enemy from Iraq, Iran, North Korea and every other country, there are many other disturbing issues about McCain.
He believes in the neoconservative goal of remaking the world to fit our desires and beliefs. Everything you are accusing that would happen if Obama is elected will happen to other countries if McCain is elected. And you are okay with that????????
McCain has a little more contempt for the First Amendment and free speech. He is the principal author of a campaign finance bill that severely restricts political speech. He said he would rather have a clean government rather than one where “First Amendment rights are being respected”.
His general attitude is that criticism of the government, the war, and in particular himself is in some way “unpatriotic”. This is totally absurd. So he is the only one allowed to criticize his opponent? Whenever Barack criticizes McCain, McCain always comes back accusing him of being unpatriotic.
He voted in favor of amnesty towards illegals and is generally pro-immigration.
He has supported increased government regulation, support for raising social security taxes, and has persistently attacked political free speech in the McCain-Feingold Act.
For everyone who believes he will continue the Bush tax rebates each year, not only did McCain oppose those cuts, he aligned himself with the likes of Ted Kennedy and voted against both the 2001 and 2003 cuts.
“At best on foreign policy he would be a competent Bush.”
Like George Bush he tends to support federal power over federalism, executive authority over legislative, and generally leans toward the imperial presidency.
McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He now says his position has “evolved” yet he’s continued to oppose key civil rights laws.
His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, then applauded Bush for vetoing that ban.
McCain opposes a woman’s right to choose. He said “I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned”, so you have to wonder about the depths of his pro-life convictions.
The Children’s Defense Fund rated McCain as the worse senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children’s health care bill last year, then defended Bush’s veto of the bill.
He’s one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a “second job” and skip their vacations.
Many of McCain’s fellow Republican senators say he’s too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said “The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He’s erratic. He’s hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me”.
McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.
McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor that McCain calls his “spiritual guide”, Rod Parsley, believes America’s founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a “false religion”. McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church “the Antichrist” and a “false cult”.
McCain has an irrational, explosive side that makes many question whether he is fit to serve as president and to be commander in chief. Nowhere is that sentiment stronger than in the Sensate where McCain has few friends or supporters (maybe that’s why he keeps saying “my friends” every 3 or 4 minutes in his speeches). When he ran for the nomination in 2000, only 4 senators endorsed him.
There have been witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at them. He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. McCain’s outbursts often erupted when other members rebuffed his requests for support during his bid in 2000 for the nomination for president. When McCain asked for support from a fellow republican senator the senator explained that he had already committed to support Bush. The witness said McCain then said “f—you” and never spoke to him again. He doesn’t have a lot of support from people who know him well.
On another occasion at a policy lunch another senator disagreed with him and McCain used the f-word and then called him a “sh—head”. The senator demanded an apology. McCain stood up and said “I apologize, but you’re still a sh—head”. He said this in front of 40 to 50 republican senators, and people who disagree with him get the “f-word”
Many people say he is a “vicious person”. Senators are leery of speaking on the record about what McCain is really like.
In 1998 McCain stated that Chelsea Clinton was ugly and Janet Reno and Hillary Clinton were lesbians (I had wondered where that started). McCain stated “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father”. This is his idea of a joke?
Bertram Brown, MD, a psychiatrist who formerly headed the National Institute of Mental Health and was an aide to JF Kennedy said “The true strength of the character of the person, not his past accomplishments, will determine whether his presidency ends in accomplishment or failure”. By this statement I cannot understand why anyone would want someone with McCain’s character in the office.
Other people have said that “his temper is bombastic, volatile, and purple-faced. Sometimes he gets out of control. Do you want somebody sitting in the White House with that kind of temper?”
Judy Leiby, a longtime member of Dennis DeConci’s (Democrat) staff, worked on veteran’s issues and had differed with McCain on some of them over the years. After DeConci announced he was retiring McCain showed up in his office and was walking down the line shaking hands with the postal workers and he ignored Judy Leiby. One of the other postal workers asked if McCain knew Judy Leiby and McCain said “oh yeah I know her”. McCain turned away from Leiby, then turned back and said “I’m so glad you’re out of a job, and I’ll see that you never work again”.
Other incidents report McCain spewing profanities at another democrat in the white house, which led to pushes and shoves before the two were separated.
In 1993 McCain came across the Senate floor while mocking Ted Kennedy and then told him to “shut up”. Observers in the chamber said that “A stunned Kennedy returned the comment telling McCain to “shut up” and “act like a senator”.
McCain has been seen slamming fists on his desk, scattering papers across the room, jumping up and down, screaming obscenities for at least 10 minutes, and shook his fists like he was going to “slug” people.
The question on the minds of those who know him is whether a man who seems so out of control should have the authority to unleash nuclear weapons.
You really need to do your homework
xx
okay, you need to do some homework
Who owns the Federal Reserve? Who did Paulson work for? Why is J.P. Morgan the beloved son? Why was Lehman allowed to fail? Why is Citibank suing Wells Fargo to buy Wachovia with FDIC help? The banks own the government! Bush just does what he is told.
Oh if only we would do our homework....
In this time period of debtor's prison, poor houses and jails; England simply farmed out its wretched refuse to the New World, and unceremoniously dumped them out on the quays of New England.
That pattern of considering a prosperous nation a dumping ground and safety valve for failed nations, continues today, with the unbridled and endless "immigration," being foisted onto a politically correct, gullible American public. We imagine that the "Mother of Exiles" immigrant mantra, parroted by the central bankers, obligates us to absorb all the Third World riff-raff of the planet.
Our lawmakers assure us that Mexico's problems are our number one national priority. Failing that argument; they would have us believe that our country is an enforcer of United Nations resolutions.
His English friends asked Franklin how he could explain the remarkable prosperity of the New England colonies. Franklin replied:"That is simple. In the Colonies, we issue our own paper money. It is called 'Colonial Scrip.' We issue it in proper proportion to make the goods and pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to no one."
This information came to the attention of the English bankers, who deemed it necessary to have the British Parliament pass a law which prohibited the Colonies from using their scrip money, and made it mandatory that they use gold and silver money that was provided by English bankers.
This was the beginning of the plague in America of debt-ridden money, which has since brought great misfortune to our republic, and is indeed now the single greatest threat to our national security, and future as a sovereign country.
Do your homework
The civil war did not start over slavery. Lincoln did not want to abolish slavery. He used it as a pawn in winning the war. Basic high school american history.
Mrs. M, you don't do your homework....
if you really cared about your freedoms in this country, that would be a BIG red flag for you. Instead, you're just so stuck on Obama being president, you can't look past the end of your nose.
Perhaps McCain should have done his homework
nm
Yep, homework done, everybody read
You're hired.
Ah, no dear, do your homework.............
Obama stood in front of the country and declared out of his OWN mouth he would go line by line and and not only that, but would NOT allow any more lobbyists or pork spending, which we now know and most with a brain knew to begin with, was a bold face lie. He has 12 lobbyists in his administration only!!! And, as we ALL know, he has NOT gone line by line over ANYTHING.....nada! WHat a shocker there!
Federal Reserve....... I have done my homework
The Federal Reserve is not a bank...it has absolutely nothing to do with government, though it does run our government as well as many governments throughout the world. The Federal Reserve is made up of very deep filthy rich pocket individuals. Just try to find the names of those that make up the Federal Reserve....you can't. You can only find their board of governors. Our President does elect the chairman, in this case Bernanke. Fed Res is a private central bank that decides everybody's interest rates. The history on that is a good read and sickens me frankly, because it is a deceitful organization with a corrupt history. NOBODY owns the Federal Reserve except those you will never know of.....these families go back to the days of British rule, though by carefully reading, you will get the picture of who those families are.
Paulson worked for Goldman Sachs among being elected to other high boards (and has very close ties with China which scares the crap out of me); don't know what he really has going with them, so everyone should be concerned there, as half of the billions they have taken from us are now going to foreign investors/countries....why? No foreign country is going to pay us if we invest and their country fails to profit.
JP Morgan was a very powerful banker and during his time alive, he helped combine GE and actually financed steel companies in this country which created a huge economic boom for this country when it really needed it, so he basically is considered a man who saved the US economy and more imporantly, the US government on at least two occasions. This is a man who dates back to England, where his dad was also a wealthy banker, so like I said, we have always had strong ties with British banking since we tried to break from the British rule. Morgan's contributions to this country go way back and are really good ones, so he has handed down quite a good legacy. He even helped our railroads succeed. He is responsible for establishing U.S. Steel, so you can see why this company is basically gold to many. Matter of fact, he helped sell push gold to keep this country afloat. His life is a good read as well.
Now, common sense dictates why Citigroup is fighting with Wells Fargo, even though Wachovia did agree to sell to Citigroup to begin with. That's the behind-the-scenes deals that you will never know the truth about. As far as FDIC, the Federal Reserve was pushing for it, but our government did NOT want to make any financial guarantees of funds. THere is a block on that buyout for a good reason; if this took place, with a sell to either Wells Fargo or Citigroup, this would put the US citizens' money in the hands of three banks, Bank of American, JP Morgan, and whoever bought Wachovia. Whoever buys Wachovia would literally own 30% of the banking industries profits (bad, bad, bad). If only these three banks exist, they would dominate the banking industry and would have so much power that they could set their own prices for loans and services. I'm sure then stricter federal regulations would be placed on them but no doubt then the smaller banks would be so squeezed, they would have to look for buyers as well and guess who would buy them then? Wah lah....a monopoly will be formed......
So, in answer to your question, the banks don't own the governement, the Federal Reserve owns the government and always has since Roosevelt's days back in 1913. That is why those of us who understand how wrong it is for the fed res to even exist, want it abolished. Ron Paul has brought this before the floor on many occasions, to many deaf ears. Now, ask yourself why that is. Mostly, because most those nitwits don't have a clue what the federal reserve is, where it came from, and what it does.
So when you end up with just three banks, look out folks!! This has happened before with three central banks in our history and they all participated in fractional banking...creating money out of thin air.....sound familiar?
So if you want to solve this problem, blame the Federal Reserve and petition your government to abolish it NOW. I beg everyone to please do your homework on the Federal Reserve and when you think you could puke knowing the corruption of it all, then here is a site for a petition to sign to abolish it. Ron Paul has been all over this for years. President Andrew Jackson abolished the first version of a centralized governing bank. Thomas Jefferson could see this coming.....
Thomas Jefferson said, "If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." This is serious business folks!!

Homework for the Fearful - article to read
An interesting article - posted at bottom of this email. Yes, FYI, it is from a liberal leaning online source.
The author suggests that fear is a powerful emotion. I knew if McCain won I would have had many fears. I also knew I would choose to try my best to trust yet stay aware. Above all, I would have wanted to see him do far better than I ever imagined and be glad to eat crow when he did, rather than to sit and wallow in my fears and disappointment, thinking he would do terribly.
Does your higher power say to fear? Mine doesn't.
I'm amazed at this day and age that anyone still believe Obama is a Muslim. Do you not realize the evangelicals and fundamentalists and extremists of our own country are feared just as much as extremist Muslims might be? As for the cries of socialism and communism - have you not Googled and educated yourself about the FACT that there are already aspects of our government HERE AND NOW that are socialistic and communistic?! (OH NO!!. And, we all accept them, want them, and both sides, Dem/Rep, brought them about. As for the embarrassing comparisons to Hitler... do you not know Bush (W) has been compared to Hitler also? It's just embarrassing. Google George W. Bush and Hitler, see whatcha find!
Find something good, even if it is the most minimal thing, that you respect the office of president. Go with it. Ignore the rest - put it in a letter like this author suggests. Turn off your TV! Better yet, get rid of cable. Read more books that make you feel good, spend time with your family. Trust that your higher power will take care of things.
Thank you for listening.
