My Own Political Party

The Declaration of Independence states that we are entitled to "the pursuit of happiness." It does not state that we are entitled to happiness in the form of a huge house, huge TV, endless vacations and cruises, a boat, three cars, etc. There are too many Americans today that feel that these things are NEEDS instead of WANTS. Currently, Americans save money in a negative amount, which means that they spend more than they bring in. Now, some ... Read More

Obama likes to claim that 95% of Americans will see a tax cut under his administration. Don't hold your breathe. If you think that you will actually get more money in your pocket from your paycheck, you may have to think again. Obama's plan involves "tax credits". Here are the credits he plans to give: - A $500 tax credit ($1,000 a couple) to "make work pay" that phases out at income of $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 per ... Read More

New Jersey has announced that it will bail out homeowners who may lose their homes. It seems that they want to buy the homes from the owners at market prices. If I didn't feel like I had a Plantar Fasciitis in my foot right now, I would be hopping up and down with anger! Governor Corzine has proposed that the federal government buy the mortgages and then restructure them and then he decided to take his own advice and have New ... Read More

I found this video on YouTube. It is bits of video from the 2004 hearings about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and some Republicans warning how new regulation was needed. Read More

I was starting to wonder why the first bailout plan did not pass Congress. I think I may have found the answer - not enough pork. What is a bill without additional funds that really have nothing to do with the original bill? Together the House and Senate were able to add $100 billion of additional money requests to the bailout bill. Here are a few items that were included: $2 million tax benefit for makers of wooden arrows ... Read More

I didn't even bother pulling up my tv lift cabinet to watch the last debate. The other two were boring enough! I learn nothing new from the debates, the candidates really don't answer the questions and although they try to tell you they will solve all of the problems of the country, we get little details. McCain seems to be losing ground, as I thought that he would. He is just not the right Republican candidate. Not ... Read More

If Obama wins the election, it might be the first time the White House hasn't had to buy pet supplies in a long time. Obama's family does not own any pets, but supposedly he has promised to buy his girls a dog. Now if McCain wins, be prepared to see three turtles, three parakeets, a ferret, two dogs, a cat and 13 salt water fish, or maybe he will just leave those all in Arizona! Read More

If you think that there are just two (ok three counting Ralph Nader) Presidential Candidates, think again. I don't know how I came across this list since I was actually doing research for alli weight loss, but I found it! There are at over 100 "announced" candidates. "Announced" candidates are those that have formed or announced a Presidential exploratory or campaign committee with the Federal Election Commission or have filed a statement of candidacy. This list also has ... Read More

As I was looking around the web for someone to vote for this election, I found this website - Walken 2008. The website claims that Christoper Walken has decided to run for President in 2008. Now here is a candidate that I can truly get behind. Can't you just see him talking to world leaders and yelling at Congress when they can't get anything done? This country needs more cowbell!
