Barack Obama trounced Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards, Saturday in the South Carolina primary. He got more votes than those two combined, 55%. He got 4 out of 5 black votes that were cast in the state and many were cast. In the run up to the contest the race card was played by Obama and Clinton,... Sign in to see full entry.

There will be some form of economic stimulus package soon. The assumption is that our economy is heading south and some form of stimulation is needed. I have "esp" when it comes to the stimulus package and we see I am right already. The best form of stimuli will be just to give money back to people... Sign in to see full entry.

I find it infinitely amusing when it comes to candidates from both parties that are running. I think I have picked up on one big difference in the people and the kind of people they are. The Republicans candidates will say, "Let me clarify that", a lot on the campaign trail. Now mind you, listen to... Sign in to see full entry.

I just wanted to weigh in on some of the political stuff over the past few days and put my thoughts out for all to see. We are getting into the nitty gritty of the presidential nominating season now and things are really heating up. Hillary said Obama had not done the "spadework" to be the the...

I will catch up on some news as I did not write while I was away. These are some of the big things happening in the world and I want to put my two cents in! Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, or maybe not, in Pakistan last week. There are several things that we know for sure in the deal. Someone was... Sign in to see full entry.

So what about the tapes of us "interrogating" terror suspects. Who cares about this? I can tell you who; the "Dimocrats" who want to make political hay and some weak-spined Republicans who are just nuts. I don't give a rats behind about how we interrogate terrorists. I think we ought to let them... Sign in to see full entry.

I was reading over the weekend where US and NATO forces were battling the terrorists in Afghanistan. The report said it was a "stronghold" for the bad guys. And we fighting in close range trying to do them in. Why? We have superior firepower. Why don't we just call in airstrikes to soften them up a... Sign in to see full entry.
