What in the world was McCain doing here calling Americans ‘my fellow prisoners’:
Is this who Americans really want to lead our nation? Talk about your “creepy Freudian” slip’s. Does John McCain want to put us all in jail forever?
Hell, we’re all going to be living at the poor farm soon thanks to 8 years of [...]

I spent the weekend preparing for my move cross country, which I have been alluding to here for a while. I will finally be posting about it later this week. What I can tell readers now, is that the planned move has arisen out of the financial crisis our country is in.
As I noted here [...]

John McCain has been exposed.
He is now seen as the candidate “less likely to bring change” and members of the media are, one by one calling him out on his lies:
McCain’s lies have ranged from the annoying to the sleazy, and the problem is in both degree and kind. His campaign has been a ceaseless [...]

Has John McLiar started to fizzle in the polls? Is the Palin bounce losing it’s spring?
If the latest Gallup Daily Tracking Poll is any indication, and mind you it is but a slight indication, we may just see a decent upturn for real change in the coming weeks:
The Sept. 14-16 Gallup Poll Daily tracking update [...]

Forget Sarah Palin… The opponent is John McCain and his stance on the issues represents more of the same, not change. That’s the message in Obama’s latest ad that focuses on equal pay for women:
On Monday, in a conference call with female supporters, Barack Obama and his aides outlined a new strategy to target women [...]

The sky is falling… The sky is falling… I spent a few blissful days out at the beach this past weekend ignoring the news. I came home and got back online was greeted by the grim news of the latest shake up on Wall Street.
Lehman Brothers is filing for bankruptcy protection, Bank of America is [...]

Last week, I did my level best to stay out of the political fray, but to no avail. So, I officially give up. And, since our politicians aren’t giving up, I guess I might as well just dive in and go for the gold.
Today’s Ten Post Round-Up is designed to show you just how bad [...]

Say what? The McCain campaign had an ad up that was ‘misleading.’
Via Politico:
YouTube has removed a webad that casts Sarah Palin as the victim of sexism on the request of CBS, whose anchor Katie Couric was featured in the ad.
“One of the great lessons of that campaign is the continued and accepted role of sexism [...]

Whoops! Got a little chatty with the ol’ ball n’ chain the ol’ man SSG Dizzy, today, then got caught up in a lot of necessary real life stuff. Who knew growing a rock could be so much work (true story)? Except for that time of month, “better late than never”, I always say.

Oh my… “Sarah Palin is trying to seduce independent voters. But she comes across like a whip-wielding mistress who wants to discipline a naughty America.”
At a conscious level, the Republican duo are masquerading as reformers who will “clean up Washington.” But their unconscious appeal may be more important. By choosing Palin, McCain and the GOP [...]

The latest campaign ad from John McCain contends today that his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, “stopped the Bridge to Nowhere.”
But in truth, Sarah Palin “was for the infamous bridge before she was against it.” AP explains in a Fact Check and the WSJ notes that the “Record Contradicts Palin’s ‘Bridge’ Claims.”
Interestingly, there’s “more than one “bridge to [...]
