0 Comments Published by Bob July 3rd, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, Republican Antics, Current Events
John McCain has bowed to the will of the GOP this week by re-organizing the management of his presidential campaign. With many prominent republicans openly fearful that McCain is out of touch with the majority of the voters it apears to be time to attempt to re-invent McCain yet again.
Springing into action at […]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has come out against the energy policy of presidential candidate John McCain. Criticizing the much ridiculed proposal to lift the ban on off-shore oil drilling, Arnold has made no secret of his disdain for the proposal - even with Florida Governor Charlie Crist, a supporter of the proposal within earshot.
Arnold […]

He and his staff are desperate to try to find some topic upon which to build a campaign. With all of the topics available, with all of the issues that American’s are dealing with on a daily basis, the McCain campaign seems […]
McCain and Obama Differ on National Security
0 Comments Published by Bob June 21st, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, Republican Antics, Current Events, OpinionIn quite a few news articles the mass media is reporting news that really isn’t quite news. It seems that Senators Barack Obama and John McCain have very different views on both national security and the recent Supreme Court decision that affirmed any prisoner of the US government has the right of Habeas […]
Obama, Closer to Veep Pick?
0 Comments Published by Bob June 19th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News You Can Use, Current Events, Opinion
As much of the world watches breathlessly, Barack and his crew are working to pick a Vice-Presidential candidate that will have uncontroversial mass appeal. They are hoping to pick someone who can be shown to have the appeal and therefore the backing of major demographic groups.
We know that the Clinton’s are not on […]
Will All My Dreams Come True?
0 Comments Published by Bob June 17th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, Current Events, Thoughts, OpinionSome of you might remember that I favored an Obama/Edwards ticket. So much so in fact that I created their bumper sticker for them.
Well, an article that I stumbled across this morning seems to indicate that John Edwards might have changed his mind regarding that all important number 2 slot on the ticket. The […]
McCain - “One of the worst decisions in the history of this country.”
0 Comments Published by Bob June 13th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, Our Lawmakers at Work, Current Events, Opinion
In a not very surprising reaction to yesterday’s Supreme Court’s Boumediene decision, John McCain has stated uncategorically that this decision is "..one of the worst.." decisions ever. Why would he say something this inflammatory? Oh, right, because he’s a nasty Republican Bush clone.
He’d like nothing more than to deny these so-called terrorists the […]
Nominees Both Say No to ABC & NYC
0 Comments Published by Bob June 9th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News, Current Events, Opinion
Both of the presumptive nominees have declined an invitation from NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and ABC News to host the first of many Town Hall debates. Both candidates stated a desire to not limit the event to one network.
Rather than decline the original invitation I would have liked to see them bargain for […]
Obama - A Long Row to Hoe
0 Comments Published by Bob June 8th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News, Current Events, OpinionWith Hillary now out of the picture, (permanently I hope), Senator Barack Obama has fully turned his attention to the real opponent, John McCain. With only 5 months to mobilize his forces against the true evil that threatens our country, Barack has started his campaigning in traditionally Republican strongholds that have resisted Democratic […]
The Clinton’s Concede, Throw Support Behind Obama
0 Comments Published by Bob June 8th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News, Current Events, OpinionIt was a long, hard fought race, and the Clinton’s were the losers. And now, what I consider to be months late, they have accepted reality and recognized Sen. Barack Obama as the Democratic Candidate for the 44th President of the United States. Clinton, 60, cried uncle in front of a crowd […]

Barack Obama - My Presumptive Democratic Nominee
0 Comments Published by Bob June 4th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News, Opinion
After having suffered through 39 Democratic Primary Elections and 14 Democratic Caucuses, the Democratic party finally has a presumptive candidate for President.
Over the course of exactly 5 months the Democratic party has endured what is probably the worst, most vicious primary in its history. With suggestions of sexism and racism from both sides […]
Dem Primaries - Finally Over??
0 Comments Published by Bob June 3rd, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News You Can Use, News, Opinion
Is what Jon Stewart calls "The Long, Flat, Seemingly Endless Bataan Death March To The White House" finally over? Have we finally seen the last petty sniping between Democrats?
And more importantly, do we have time to heal our party from the horrible machinations of the Clinton’s and their rabid quest to […]
The Clinton’s - What’s the Debt Damage?
0 Comments Published by Bob May 30th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News You Can Use, Current Events, Opinion
Rather than concede gracefully and get back to her full time job as kibitzer in the Senate, Hillary has been continuing to campaign for the Democratic Nomination. What madness is this?
Why is she continuing to run her campaign into the ground? The last figure I can find puts her at $20,000,000.00 (that’s twenty […]
McCain - I Double Dog Dare You…….
0 Comments Published by Bob May 29th, 2008 in Election, Indecision 2008, Rabid Christian Right, News You Can Use, Current Events, OpinionChrist, it sounds like a boyish schoolyard dare. The presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain, has challenged Barack Obama to go to Iraq and check out the ‘facts on the ground’ within the war zone. McCain is more than likely hoping to see a change in Obama’s war stance should he go to the […]

0 Comments Published by Bob May 21st, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News, Current Events, OpinionWell, another series of primary elections are over and with the two Democratic candidates splitting the states, it’s still obvious that Obama has the numerical advantage over the Clinton’s.

Obama to Capture Necessary Votes Today
0 Comments Published by Bob May 20th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News, Current Events, Opinion
It looks like Barack Obama could end today with enough votes to declare himself the Democratic National Candidate for President. And a long, crazy road it’s been to reach this point. We have never waited this long for a candidate, nor spent this much money trying to choose one.
Obama Is Expected to Hit […]
The Clinton’s - Cry Me a River of Sexism
0 Comments Published by Bob May 16th, 2008 in Indecision 2008, Election, News You Can Use, Current Events, OpinionBetween the abhorrent racist remarks and the sexist overtones to this campaign there has been almost no respite since day one. Someone, somewhere, has been ready to play one of the two cards in almost every commentary of the candidates and the contest. But the question remains, is the reason that the Clinton’s […]
