Montana Gun Manufacturer Urges Obama-Endorsing Company President to Resign

If I've said once, I'll say again: keep your business and your personal politics and religion at great distance.

Montana Gun Manufacturer Urges Obama-Endorsing Company President to Resign - FOXNews.com Elections:

"HELENA, Mont. -- The board of directors for a small Montana gun manufacturer asked the company's president to resign after word that he supports Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama led to calls on pro-gun Web sites to boycott the company's products.

Dan Cooper, who co-founded Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc., could not be reached for comment Friday. But he told USA Today on Thursday that he had resigned his post to protect the company's employees."

Redefining "Middle Class" - again

For the third time in 2 weeks reports are coming that Obama's plan to lower taxes is changing the threshold, again. First it was Joe the Plumber and $250,000, then Joe the Biden and $200,000, now it's Bill the Governor and $120,000.

The question to ask yourself: if you're a family of 4 and your joint income is $121,000 or more, do you feel wealthy? I thought not. A prominent spokesman for Obama, Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, thinks you are, though - he thinks the Obama plan means you're above the middle class and should be subject to increased taxes.

With numbers changing so much in these last few days before the election, it's hard to hit a moving target, and hard to think that we'll get from Obama what he says we'll get. So it comes down not to facts, but to depending on what you choose believe.

But perhaps Obama's tagline is no longer "Change," but now is "Chance."


How Low Can It Go? Richardson Pegs Middle Class as Those Making Under $120,000 - FOXNews.com Elections:

"For the second time in a week, a prominent Democrat has downgraded Barack Obama's definition of the middle class -- leading Republicans to question whether he'll stick to his promise not to raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000.

The latest hiccup in the campaign message came Friday morning on KOA-AM, when New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pegged the middle class as those making $120,000 and under.

'What Obama wants to do is he is basically looking at $120,000 and under among those that are in the middle class, and there is a tax cut for those,' Richardson said in the interview, according to a clip posted on YouTube."

Vote for the Candidate backed by Al-Qaeda!

Qaeda wants Republicans, Bush humiliated:

"DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be 'humiliated,' without endorsing a party in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to an Internet video posting.

'O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him,' Abu Yahya al-Libi said at the end of sermon marking the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr, in a video posted on the Internet.

Libi, a top al Qaeda commander believed to be living in Afghanistan or Pakistan, called for God's wrath to be brought against Bush equating him with past tyrants in history.

The remarks were the first from a leading al Qaeda figure referring, albeit indirectly, to the U.S. elections. Muslim clerics often end sermons by calling on God to guide and support Muslims and help defeat their enemies.

Terrorism monitor SITE Intelligence Group said in a report on Wednesday that militants on al Qaeda-linked websites have for months been debating the significance of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama or Republican John McCain.

Some posters have also argued over the merits of trying to attack the United States before the election or waiting until later, the report said."

More of what to expect from Obama

It is being reported by several major new agencies that the Obama campaign has unceremoniously kicked off at least 3 news organizations who had been embedded with the Obama campaign from the start. The NY Post and the Washington Times, among others, have been asked to vacate their seats on the plane. Note that these news organizations are slanted to the right.

They are to be replaced by reporters from Jet and Ebony magazines.

Just in time for Halloween!

Here you go - THE definitive Obama T-shirt.

I'm watching a particularly irritating moron named Reta Lewis talk about the recession - that it's caused by Bush's economic policies.

Too bad that most Americans are too uneducated in our own governmental system to know that Congress, not the president, wields the spending power. Congress, through its approval process, crafts the budget, not the president. And for the last 2 years, the Democrats have been in control of Congress, and therefore, the economy. It's part of our checks and balances. So if you want people to blame, look to Pelosi and Reid.

But there we are - lying politicians and political minions, and a stupid electorate.

Obama's Big Campaign Lie

Change - it's in the air everywhere, especially at the Obama campaign. It seems they are trying to alter what people think will happen under an Obama regime. Why? Because nothing will change, that's why, even though Obama has promised quite a lot. Given the plenitude of government insiders in Obama's camp, how could it?

And what does Barackula say to those who have already voted early? "Sorry, you got it wrong. I only meant 'Change a little.'"

What a great argument for NOT voting early. Folks need to wait and see what develops throughout an entire campaign. Like this.

If I were an Obama guy, I'd change my vote, because given McCain's performance throughout his career, I KNOW he'll shake things up. Bastards tend to do that (said with respect, John!).


Obama Lays Plans to Kill Expectations After Election Victory - FOXNews.com Elections:

"Barack Obama's senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week's election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.

The sudden financial crisis and the prospect of a deep and painful recession have increased the urgency inside the Obama team to bring people down to earth, after a campaign in which his soaring rhetoric and promises of 'hope' and 'change' are now confronted with the reality of a stricken economy."

Corporate finance chiefs prefer McCain: survey

Corporate finance chiefs prefer McCain: survey | Politics | Reuters:

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Chief financial officers of U.S. companies still prefer Republican presidential nominee John McCain over Democrat Barack Obama by a wide margin...

CFOs are much less optimistic about the U.S. economy and about their own businesses, and expect it will be much harder for their companies to access credit over the next six months, the survey by Financial Executives International and Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business found.

Sixty-two percent said they hoped McCain would win next week's presidential election, compared with 15 percent who prefer Obama....

Twice as many said McCain was best able to handle the economic crisis than said so about Obama, the survey found. The survey, conducted electronically between October 2 and October 17, included responses from 290 corporate CFOs."

Aerosmith’s Joe Perry walks this way with John McCain - BostonHerald.com:

"Aerosmith has generally left the politics to bands like U2 and the Dixie Chicks, but axeman Joe Perry says national security and economic woes have prompted him to split from the rest of the entertainment world and throw his support behind John McCain.

“We pretty much stay out of it, but seeing so many people come out for Obama, I just felt like ‘What the hell, I might as well raise my hand for this side,” Perry said from his Duxbury home."

Obama's Popularity: Bandwagon effect

Many people can't figure out why Obama is so popular. Here's one suppostion:

Bandwagon effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"The bandwagon effect occurs in voting: some people vote for those candidates or parties who are likely to succeed (or are proclaimed as such by the media), hoping to be on the 'winner's side' in the end.[4] The bandwagon effect has been applied to situations involving majority opinion, such as political outcomes, where people alter their opinions to the majority view (McAllister and Studlar 721). Such a shift in opinion can occur because individuals draw inferences from the decisions of others, as in an informational cascade."

What's Wrong with Early Voting

I am appalled at the concept of early voting. I feel this way for several reasons:

1. Early voting allows an opportunity for people to try to vote more than once. And if you think this doesn't happen, you're not paying attention.

2. I thought absentee voting was to allow for people who can't get to the polls on election day? Early voting is an unnecessary expense, taxing already-stretched local funds.

3. Early voting doesn't allow voters to consider late-breaking information about their choice. For example, what you voted for candidate A, then 2 days after you voted, it was revealed that he was a pedophile.

4. Early voting is nothing but an effort to get people to cast a vote for people who are really excited about a candidate; it's favored by some candidates because they are afraid that the voters' fervor will subside, and good sense will replace that emotion. In this way, it's a method to slanting an election.

We should do away with it, because early voting is really nothing but a ploy to steal an election.
