Drilling for new taxes

World Net Daily (CA)

by Doug Powers

June 23, 2008

The coming election is now all about finding viable solutions for our energy problems. Just kidding it's all about excuses to drill in the region of our wallets and purses again.

Unless we can figure out a way to put caribou on our paychecks, the worst is yet to come. Barack Obama opposes a lift on the ban on oil drilling off the Florida coast. Not only because drilling would cause disruptive ripples in the water on which Obama's walking, but because he claims it would take at least 10 years...

Does an absentee voter count if she dies before Election Day?

At the conclusion of her victory speech in Charleston, W.Va., on Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton told the story of a supporter named Florence Steen, who passed away last Sunday. The 88-year-old South Dakotan had just voted...

None of the Above

Clinton? Obama? McCain? Attack of the killer centrists! With these wonderful options, and no real third party choices, I'm voting for none of the above.

It is obvious that both the Democrats and Republicans have abandoned the principles of liberty. The Republicans have all but nominated McCain, and the Democrats are in the midst of a death-match between Clinton and Obama. Regardless of who wins that race, the general election will be two candidates of war and socialism.

Ron Paul backers 'hijack' delegates

BLAINE, Minn. -- Ron Paul supporters shook things up in at least three of Minnesota's congressional district conventions yesterday when they captured nearly all of the national delegates.

Two out of three national delegates elected were Ron Paul supporters and all three of the alternates supported Paul. After the election results were announced at the convention, they were immediately disputed when it was discovered that the candidates had agreed to support John McCain in pre-screening questions.

While it is still eight-and-a-half months away, we already know the Election of 2008 is in the toilet.

The people-even those who like the candidates we will be forced to choose from-have already lost because the designated winners and losers are all losers. John McCain. Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama. The issues that will be enacted during the 111th and 112th Congress will destroy the fabric of America and leave the United States torn, tattered and bleeding profusely.

The Iraq War Will Cost Us $3 Trillion, and Much More

You can't spend $3 trillion -- yes, $3 trillion -- on a failed war abroad and not feel the pain at home.

Some people will scoff at that number, but we've done the math. Senior Bush administration aides certainly pooh-poohed worrisome estimates in the run-up to the war. Former White House economic adviser Lawrence Lindsey reckoned that the conflict would cost $100 billion to $200 billion; Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld later called his estimate "baloney." Administration officials insisted that the costs would be more like $50 billion to $60 billion. In April 2003, Andrew S. Natsios, the thoughtful head of the U.S. Agency for International Development, said on "Nightline" that reconstructing Iraq would cost the American taxpayer just $1.7 billion.

Tuesday's second "Super Tuesday" was another display of putrid politics. Allegedly Marxist Hillary Clinton took Texas. Why wouldn't she? We all recall her famous words a few months ago, "No woman is an illegal."

Texas is infested with illegal aliens and we know they're voting. A few days before this horse and pony show, Obama and Clinton exchanged spit over NAFTA. Both of them tried to out do each other for the sake of big labor in Ohio, a job devastated state. Neither one of them pointed out this treaty is unconstitutional and why.

Hillary Clinton Loses It

411 Mania

February 23, 2008

Does Hillary think voters are stupid? Her rant was filmed in OHIO, where they have lost more than 200K jobs to NAFTA.

Does she really think all those families don't know who passed that legislation into law, and they are well aware that she supported it. Rather than casting a negative light on Obama, she has made herself look foolish and only drawn MORE attention to her support of NAFTA.

Meijer's ties to nonprofit at issue

TRAVERSE CITY -- Meijer Inc. critics are questioning whether the Grand Rapids-based retailer used a public relations firm to create a "grassroots" support group as a front to tamper with two local elections.

Acme Taxpayers for Responsible Government aligned itself with Meijer in township elections in 2005 and in 2007, elections that state and local officials are scrutinizing for possible violations of Michigan campaign finance laws and other crimes.

Public Indoctrination

Dr. Ron Paul's contention that the U.S. Department of Education should be eliminated has raised eyebrows. The networks' talking heads along with many average citizens simply cannot conceive of how children can be educated without the assistance of the DoE

Many of the same objections made against Dr. Paul's criticisms of ED have been made against homeschooling. The National Education Association (NEA) has vociferously criticized home schooling. One member of the NEA angrily referred to home schooling as "child abuse."
