13 Days Until the Election, Many more until the Inauguration



Another Stimulus Package? Is that because the $700 Billion Bailout Package doesn’t do anything for the average person? I wonder. Was I right? I think so, so where’s my check? The frustration is setting in but nevertheless, we must maintain our investing strategies and believe in our government that they will bail out the upper class and their cohorts, and that in tern will help US investments. If you don’t make enough money to have investments, I’m sorry to leave you out but that’s what your government is doing for you.

We have less than 2 weeks until the next presidential election and I bet you’re still asking yourself who I am voting for? Still, the best candidate. While Barak has suspended his campaign to be with his ill grandmother, John McCain has filled in for him, reporting on Barak’s last moves this week. Here’s what I see. . .John McCain is somehow equating the notion of liking 2 baseball teams with political flip-flopping. I heard this morning that Senator Biden said in a speech months ago that if Barak was chosen as the candidate and eventually elected president he will be tested by terrorists within 6 months of his taking office. The Republican Party has moved that statement to the forefront of their campaign. My interpretation is, does that scare you? The Republicans are saying if you vote for Barak, it’s imminent that we will undergo another terrorist attack. I don’t know about you but I can’t have another 8 years of fear, I might just move to Europe. Since when were Americans so scared of everything? One last note on the elections, I also heard this morning that new voters account for approximately 11%, I am so glad that they’re not talking about the deciding vote being the grannies and granddaddies out there, I think that’s why McCain is so mad. The youth in America have more to lose than McCain and the other retirees.

Based on the last 6 presidential elections you would have thought that things in America were so cut and dry. You’re either Democrat or Republican. I’d like to highlight one thing to think about when you vote. . . It wasn’t always the way it is today. Electoral Map from 1924 (wikipedia)











On the Political front:
My current Election Prediction ticker: Obama/Biden ticket by 16% - STILL (since my Oct. 1st call)
My prediction for the elections. . . “no more fear mongering.”

Disgraced Politician of the Week
U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney, embroiled in an adultery scandal and a tight race for re-election, admitted last week to having at least two affairs but insisted he broke no laws and will not resign. The first-term Democrat conceded that one of the affairs began as he was running on a family values platform to replace Mark Foley. Why won’t our leaders and politicians just tell the truth? I don’t care that he had an affair, that’s his choice, but if he’s running on a ‘family values’ platform, I just don’t see how that’s honorable.

OK, I don't why the image isn't working. I'll try to work on it this next week and make it work, it's something you really should see. Also, I had to delete the last comment because I suspect it was spam. . . if not, I'm sorry and you can re-post it, but it didn't really have anything to do with my post. Thanks y'all!!
