EXCERPT: The presidential election It's time Oct 30th 2008
From The Economist print edition     The very prestigious international weekly magazine, The Economist, based in London, has published for over 100 years.  It is a tremendous source of economic, political, cultural, scientific, technological and other types of information.     It is a conservative magazine, but with a truly clear eyed conservative view of the world.  It is a...

EXCERPT:  And it WILL reverse the huge re-distribution of the Average American’s puny wealth upward to the oligarchic elite that Bush and McCain are members in good standing of. Cut taxes and spend, cut taxes and spend.  The Republicans have dug us into a hole so deep that we can feel the heat from the center of the earth.  Or is it the heat from the Chinese Central Bank as we dig our way closer and closer to China with our debt shovel?      ...

EXCERPT: Avalanche is indeed the right word for it.       And Arizona, McCain’s home state, is snowballing for Obama.    [...]    In addition to the Colorado and Virginia changes, we have moved McCain’s home state of Arizona from Likely McCain to Lean McCain, a tip to the reality that Arizona, without McCain on the ticket, would have been a contested battleground. A new poll conducted by a Democratic group found McCain with...

EXCERPT: Avalanche is the right word for it.
And the McCain Camp Pain staffers’ resumes’ are circulating as they look over their shoulder at the gigantic thundering defeat gaining mass and momentum, an avalanche of American hope and optimism that will sweep the slopes clean of all Bushes and McCain stinkweeds.
These people are throwing things at each other as they decamp in growing panic.Begone Republican, Begone!
And many are throwing things at Sister Sarah, who isincreasingly suspected...

EXCERPT: Colin Powell just endorsed the Barak Obama – 'Joe the Biden' ticket.  His rationale was all American, and his delivery was right on target.        Here is a Republican of exceptional accomplishment that truly puts “Country First”, the slogan but not the action of the McCain Campaign.   As I watched his announcement and his reasons for it on Meet the Press this Morning, I wondered where a man like this might go...

EXCERPT: History is our teacher. The Roman Empire lasted long enough and is well enough documented and studied to give us fair warning. While there are other empires, such as the British, that suggest the same conclusions, the Roman Empire is the greatest study among these.
The question: Is the handwriting on the wall of the coliseum indelible, or can we scrub it off and write a new lesson, a lesson of history and hope for our future generations?
Andrew Lahde, manager of a small California...

EXCERPT: The results are in, and Obama mopped the floor with McCain.     McCain did better this time around than he did in the second debate.  But, in his effort to be aggressive he was simply Old Man Shouting at Clouds!!    GoBama and Biden!  On to the White...

EXCERPT: Tonight is the last “debate”, and McCain’s swan song.  McCain must address his nasty insinuations that Barack Obama is at least not trustworthy and may even be an un-American domestic terrorist.    It will come up in the debate, probably broached by the moderator.  McCain could broach it because he promised his pissed off base on television, but it is questionable whether he has the stones.   McCain will be forced, as promised to...

EXCERPT: To live in the Communist Soviet Union was a bleak experience.  Indeed, for many it was also a short experience.    I remember a joke about that as I grew up during the Cold War era.  The commissar of the agricultural commune called a meeting. “I have great news comrades.  The politburo has implemented a new and improved plan for your old age.  It is now possible to live to old age!”    And of course we read about the...

EXCERPT: When it comes down to issues, the Average American is encapsulated in layers of concern, like layers of an onion. The more you peel the union, the stronger the concern.
The outer skin of concern might be something like abortion, or gay rights, for the Average American.
An inner layer might be the illegal alien invasion from Mexico for some.
Below that a layer might be the Iraq occupation and the national debt.
There are several layers in anyone’s “onion of concern” and some will have...
