Just catching up on the posts. What a wide variety of postings today. I learn something new everyday. I don’t think, I am ready to go out and buy a gun. I would probably shoot myself by mistake.

22% AA? and only 44% indies? Hard to believe

John McCain will be on Meet the Press Sunday–that means you know who will be on there Nov. 2.
Michelle Obama is giving the Democratic radio address on Saturday. That should be a hoot..

Also, if you want to see how Obama has changed the political discourse of this country, go over to the Democratic Underground for awhile. I haven’t been there in months ever since it evolved into Obama central but I decided to wade in there and look around tonight just for the heck of it. I saw the word “racist” mentioned in regards to almost every news story remotely negative to Obama. There were panicked headlines screaming about slight changes in the polls for McCain. Many are utterly, totally obsessed with attacking Sarah Palin, practically every other post is some kind of smear. While sites like this one at least try to deal in facts and analysis, everything over there is attitude and anger. You’d think those enamored with Obama would be celebrating their candidate rather than spending so much obsessive time attacking those with a different view. I remember when that site promoted the ideals and policies of the Democratic party. What has happened to us, and what has changed people so much that they are so irrationally devoted to a political leader with so little to merit this level of worship?

the latest numbers for SUSA says the following for Florida:

* 52% of Hispanics are voting McCain
* 22% of African-Americans are voting McCain (WOW!)
* 13% of Liberals are voting McCain
* 39% of Moderates are voting McCain
* 34% of Pro-Choice voters are voting McCain
* 53% of Central Florida is voting McCain
* 18% of registered Democrats are voting McCain
* 44% of Independents are voting McCain
* 39% of non-Religious people are voting McCain.

don’t bank on berg. check this from td.

Here’s a frightening comment from a reader over at Texas Darlin:

“I just spent all afternoon on the phone. I spoke with
1. The Senate Rules and Administration Committee office
2. The Senate Ethics Committee Office
3. The Department of Justice
4. My local FBI office

It is as we have suspected but were afraid to believe. If Berg vs Obama comes back with a “lack of standing” ruling and the American people are stupid enough to elect Obama on Nov 4th, we will have a president who fails to meet the eligibility requirements of the constitution and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Apparently, our constitution isn’t the stalwart bulkhead of freedom we all thought. Here is a summary of what I learned:

1. Senate Rules and Admin Committee defines the rules for an election and then the FEC is supposed to implement them. And even though the US Constitution states natural born as one of the eligibility requirements, there are NO rules stating that someone must see a candidate’s birth certificate! They said there is nothing they can do for this election. However, if in the future, we the people would like to see such a rule created, we would need to find a senator to sponsor it. I think someone should get on that right away to avoid this situation in future elections.

2. The conversation with the Senate Ethics committee person was even more infuriating. She said there was nothing the Ethics committee could do. It is entirely up to the courts to decide his eligibility. I asked, “What if he lied on his original eligibility affidavit that he signed at the start of the primaries?” and she said, “That would be for someone at the Dept of Justice to investigate.”

3. Department of Justice – I was passed around to five different people all of whom either treated me as I was a nut case or said that my questions were “out of their area”. Finally, when I asked if a private citizen can initiate a criminal investigation into whether or not he falsified his original eligibility affidavit and misled voters with a forged online COLB, they said “Call your local FBI office”.

4. My local FBI office was the worst. He just kept saying, “I’m sure if this was a problem, someone would have investigated it already.” After telling him about all the evidence (Berg’s affidavit from paternal grandmother, etc) he just said, “Well, I guess you’ll just have to wait and see what the court says.” When I said, “But what if they come back saying Berg has no standing–that doesn’t address the issue of concern which is whether he has, in fact, lied on the eligibility document and forged the online COLB.” He just laughed.

So–it appears that Obama’s well laid plan just may work. It may be no coincidence that he specialized in election law. He probably researched it thoroughly and knew exactly what he was doing when he started this campaign. It was probably all laid out as a nice, neat little “risk mitigation” plan. I shudder to think what life will be like under an Obama presidency. Anyone who can so flagrantly violate the public trust and build such a labyrinth of lies to protect his ambitious self-interest will only be emboldened by getting away with it. This will be just the beginning of his big f##k you for America.”
