My Own Political Party

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!

I was all ready. I got out my camera and loaded some new compact flash memory for all the pictures I was going to take. I headed on over to John McCain's website to find out when he would be visiting my State. Opps. Guess I got ahead of myself. McCain isn't visiting my State (at least not yet) and neither is Palin. Maybe that is because I live in New Jersey where they vote for ... Read More

The first Presidential Debate is scheduled for this Friday, September 26th at 8:00pm. Unfortunately, I don't think I will get any answers that I am looking for. While I don't think they will talk about diet pill reviews, train schedules, good books they've read, or other such fluff, I don't think they will really hit the issues that matter to the American people. What would I like to see them discuss? Immigration Policy Details on Tax Plans How they plan to CUT spending in ... Read More

Joe Biden may think he is really smart, but he should think a little before he speaks. Katie Couric interviewed Joe Biden on a train the other day and asked him about the financial crisis. Biden responded by saying: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'” Sounds good, right? Slight problem. One, Roosevelt was not President when the ... Read More

I was watching Fox News last night on tv and noticed that Palin's Yahoo account had been hacked into, her contact's email addresses posted to the web and photos of her family posted as well. It was amazing to me, as I read comments on the web, about the joy that was associated with the hacking. Some comments included "serves her right" and "she is stupid", etc. I am always in shock when an information received illegally is justified. None ... Read More

The first Vice Presidential Debate is scheduled for October 2, 2008 at Washington University in St. Louis. I think this debate is going to be a lot more interesting than the Presidential Debates. Since it is sure to get heated, I hope the weather is good enough that I can swing in a hammock chair outside and cool down after the debates. Joe Biden probably has a dilemma. If he is too tough, he might come across as mean. ... Read More

I heard a radio personality the other day make the following statement (paraphrased) - I am going to vote for the candidate that will cost me the least amount of money and take away less of my rights. I have to agree with this. My fear about Obama's "change" is that one, our taxes will increase and two, more and more of our rights will be taken away (i.e. the government wants to be in charge of everything!). Now, ...

All the families are present at the Republican National Convention and there is not a kid with acne among them! It always amazes me how good kids of politicians and celebrities look. Some how they must have the magic skin treatment formula that they are not sharing with the rest of us! McCain's mother is 95 years old and looks great! I only wish that I can look and feel as good as she does at 95. Read More

I stayed up last night and watch the Republican National Convention. I must admit that I was impressed with Joe Lieberman's speech. Almost 95% of the time, Lieberman is going to vote with the Democrats, but he has great respect for John McCain. And, Lieberman is right is some sense. Republicans and Democrats need to work together for what is RIGHT for this country, not just vote based on what your party tells you to. Unfortunately for Lieberman, this ... Read More

I started watching Barack Obama's speech last night at the Democratic National Convention. First, for a party that wants to take care of the poor and the environment, having a big to-do at a stadium seems a little irresponsible. What I took in mostly from the speech is that Obama wants the government to take care of you. He wants more tax breaks for the "bottom" 95% of tax payers, he wants children to have money for college, he ... Read More
