October 31, 2008

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher makes $40,000 a year working as an unlicensed plumber contractor guy around the Toledo, Ohio area. Mr. Wurzelbacher approached Barack Obama and asked him a question while Obama was working a ropeline after a campaign event in the Toledo area. The question "Joe the Plumber" asked concerned itself with Obama's clearly stated [...]

Unity Over Division

October 30, 2008

Last night Barack Obama's campaign spent close to $5 million for a 30 minute "infomercial" that aired on most networks. If you did not see it…..you should. Watch it here. The Reverend is as cynical as one gets…..but I must say….Barack Obama spoke truth with passion last night and it was emotionally moving, uplifting.
However, the [...]

John, Wile E. Coyote, McCain

October 29, 2008

Remember all those great Roadrunner-Wile E.Coyote cartoons? We didn't have sophisticated video games and I-Pods back in the 50's when I was only a little Reverend. Instead, we had highly imaginative and creative black and white cartoons on small teevee screens. Bugs, Daffy, Mickey, Donald, Foghorn Leghorn (my favorite), and, of course, the Roadrunner-Wile E.

October 28, 2008

Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View

Questions For Seniors And Boomers

October 27, 2008

One of my most disheartening moments came during the general election cycle of 2004.
In 2004…
Mr. Bush received support from 53 percent of voters 60 and over, compared to 46 percent for Kerry, according to the exit polls. The vote was slightly different for those 65 and older, with only 51 percent supporting Bush and [...]

GOP Race-Baiting & The Dyslexic Face Carving Attacker

October 25, 2008

Upon hearing the "breaking news" that Ashley Todd, a McCain campaign worker and College Republican, had been accosted, while visiting a Pittsburgh area ATM, by a tall, (6' 4") black, Obama supporter who robbed her, saw her McCain bumper sticker, and then proceeded to carve a "B" into her cheek "to teach her a [...]

"A Noun, A Verb & Joe The Plumber"

October 24, 2008

The one consistent theme of John McCain's campaign has been the stunts. The Arizona senator hasn't had a consistent recognizable message his entire campaign…..but the stunts…..have been recognizable everywhere.
It all started with the hasty choice of Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. You might find this interesting….
On Sunday, Aug. 24, the group reviewed names [...]

Blog Commenting

October 23, 2008

Recently, a conservative commenter took the time, in a lengthy comment, to list quite a few objections to an Obama presidency. I appreciate this commenter's efforts. This is America…..where freedom to express ourselves is guaranteed. Before I address those objections…..let me first tell you about my experience yesterday with the conservative Ohio website, "Weapons of [...]

Palin A Lot Smarter Than A 3rd Grader

October 22, 2008

For the sake of today's post….please review the first 1:06 of this video from last night's Countdown.

Sarah Palin states that the vice-president is "in charge" of the U.S. senate. The vice-president can, according to Palin, "get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes."
Now review how Governor Sarah Palin referred [...]

Can Obama Really Get Stuff Done?

October 21, 2008

First…
Immediately following the Democratic spanking of Republicans in the 2006 mid terms, two GOP alternative plans were launched.
The first was the political stunt wrapped in militarist clothing and given the ignorant and meaningless title, "the surge." The second GOP plan, after getting their Rove-inspired asses handed to them in 2006, was to obstruct all [...]
