So how many Republicans are going to write in Ron Paul?
Will traditionally conservative OC voters give Campbell the boot for voting for the Bailout?
Will T Boone Pickens massive support for prop 10 help it get passed?
Will JakeD still hold out that Obama’s birth certificate was faked and a mass conspiracy is covering it up?
Looks like a fun place here to blog about all the above
No “mass conspiracy” is needed. If Obama was born in Kenya — his mother simply had to register a live birth back in Hawaii — he is not a “Natural Born” Citizen and therefore ineligible to be President.
If Barrack Hessian Obumer is elected it will be after his defeat in 2012 that the truth will come out that he was born in Kenya and a major newspaper like the LA or NY Times new about it and chose not to print it.
LATEST outragous OBAMA VIDEO:
http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=2327
I hope he actually meant this one its too funny if he did (a bit puerile admittedly )…
Think the NeoCons will blow a gasket over this video?
It seems to be about as news worthy though as Obama’s Coal comments & video with that Palestinian the LA times has
Proving that Obama LIED about his relationship with Ayers is not “newsworthy”? Of course not, because the MSM is biased.
more canards are comming out daily by conspicacy theorists as its becomming obvious that Obama will win tommorow’s election…
What’s next? Obama hates apple pie and refuses to wear red white & blue underwear, how unamerican…
All of this has been out there for a while now. As I said, before, no “mass conspiracy” is needed. It is completely possible that Obama was born in Kenya, for instance. Why won’t he release his VAULT (long form) birth certificate?
Obama’s relationship with Ayers was much less congenial than MCCain’s relationship with Charles Keating whom probably hurt more good Americans than Ayers did ( I think Ayers bombs hurt 1 person no? a fellow bomb maker whom probably deserved it. Keatings financial bomb lost many old folks thier retirement, no? )
Twas the Night Before Elections
‘Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
‘ On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi’
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause
And as he
flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
In response Sean-already voted (before seeing your comment which I was pleased to see). Yes! I voted Ron Paul as well as gave Campbell the boot. I like to think that my vote is “my vote” and that it represents me not, what the general concensus of what our politics tells us to vote. There is no such thing as a wasted vote when you vote for what you believe in. In my opinion, casting a vote for something or someone that you don’t believe in, is to let others speak for you and in essence not a vote at all and to that end a true “wasted vote”.
happy election day
