Homer Simpson Tries to Vote for Obama

The future is here. Watch as Homer attempts to place his vote for Obama. If you are concerned about electronic vote tallying, get informed and involved here.

Even the cartoons leave out all of the rest of the candidates for President. Granted, the Simpsons is a show on Fox.

Killing Muslims for Apple Pie, Jesus and Judaism

Why aren't Reverend Parsley and Pastor Hagee on Fox News? If we are so concerned with Mr. Obama's spiritual mentors, why are we not examining those of Mr. McCain?



Reverend Parsley and Pastor Hagee...filled with fear and hate...in Jesus name.



If these guys think God is all-powerful, do they not think that God can protect us/them? Why do they believe that we need to do God's killing? Why do we need bombs if we have God? If we are the Christian nation these guys claim, couldn't we just blow a bunch of trumpets and watch their defenses collapse?

Fox's Subliminal McCain

I stumbled across this video on Mascot Moscat's blog, "Flies in the Kitchen". In his blog article, he says:

"I was editing a video today when, while scrolling through this Fox News intro, I saw a very familiar face. A very Republican face."

If you want to ask questions, thank her for sharing her discovery or accuse her of creating this to discredit the ever-honorable Fox News, you can e-mail her at fliesinthekitchen@gmail.com

McCain Opposes Expanding GI Bill?!?

With the politics I have followed for all these years, I keep thinking I won't be surprised. McCain caught me off guard again. Read the article from ABC News where Senator John McCain (the Republican candidate for president) is opposing the current version of the bill because it would likely "lead more members to get out of the service". I am left with more questions than answers.

Expanding educational benefits for those who put their lives on the line (the ones he would send to fight and/or die around the world) would be a bad thing? It would make them leave the military?

Does he think education makes you less patriotic? Is he implying that if we educate our young people, they will think that military service is a bad thing? Does he feel that they would no longer feel the need to protect their country or fellow soldiers? Is he concerned that they might discover there are other ways of protecting "The Homeland", protecting allies and serving the needs of the United States? Maybe even better ways?

Is it that if people remain poor, uneducated and fear what they are told to fear; they will do anything (including die for) an opportunity to have a better life for their families? It almost makes it sound like we, as a country, prey on the poor and uneducated and he wants to make certain to keep them uneducated.

I think this is a good time to share the "john.he.is" video again. It is a video put together from different speeches Senator McCain has given.

Q: "President Bush talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years..."
Senator McCain butts in and says, "

"Maybe a hundred, that's fine with me! I don't think Americans are concerned if we're there for a hundred years, or a thousand years, or ten thousand years."

Have you met one of these Americans he speaks of?

If you are one...I'd love to hear from you.

The Candidates on Education

If you locate videos that encompass more of any of the candidates views on education, send them to me and I will post them.

John McCain Speech Music Video

By now, most of you have seen the Obama campaign music video of his speech, "Yes We Can". Someone created a video of McCain (john.he.is) giving one of his speeches in a similar style.

The guys from Election '08 on YouTube (Andy Cobb, Josh Funk, Nyima Funk, Marc Evan Jackson, Mark Kienlen, David Pompeii, Marc Warzecha) put this one out:

The video below is the original campaign music video released in support of Obama.


If anyone is wondering, I have not decided to endorse any particular candidate. However, I will gladly oppose John McCain. I believe it was Pat Buchanan who said, " John McCain will make Cheney look like Ghandi."

Bush League Justice - Signing Statements

This episode of Dan Abrams' series, "Bush League Justice", takes a brief look at presidential signing statements. Do you follow up to see what happens when the bills reach "The Decider's" desk?

3 Republican Candidates Support Torture!?!

It surprised me when I caught a piece of this at a restaurant last night. I thought I heard these people wrong. I went and looked it up on YouTube today and this is what I found:

During last night's GOP debate, Brit Hume set up a hypothetical situation in which 3 terrorist attacks occur at shopping malls in major cities. A fourth attack is thwarted and that would-be attacker, who we "know" has information about an impending, larger attack is captured and taken to Guantanamo Bay. The candidates were asked if "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques", including waterboarding, should be used to get information from the detainee.

All three said torture is acceptable!

McCain said he would use torture in the hypothetical situation presented. He said it would be a "million to one" scenario, but he would authorize and then railed on using torture.

Giuliani said, with no qualms, he would use "enhanced interrogation techniques" including waterboarding (to applause).

Mitt Romney said that he doesn't want them to have access to lawyers. He then said that,

"Some people have said we should close Guantanamo. My view is, we ought to double Guantanamo. (Lots of applause.) There is no question that in a setting like that where you have a ticking bomb and the president, not the C.I.A. interrogator, but the President of the United States has to make the call and enhanced interrogation techniques HAVE to be used, not torture, but enhanced interrogation techniques. Yes."

These people are running for president?
