When Barack Came To Town

A word of advice to my Indiana GOP friends, you are going to have your work cut out for you in November. Fresh off his debate in Tennessee Democrat Barack Obama hit the Indiana State Fairgrounds and about 21,000 supporters.

His speech was pretty much standard with a couple new lines.  He said he could take four more weeks of attacks by John McCain but America couldn’t take four more years of Bush policies.  Obama also criticized opponents of government-involved health care, saying the people who usually complain about government health care are getting their health care from the government.

The crowd was electrified and extremely enthusaiastic for the candidate, of course the question is will that enthusaism last until Novemeber 4th.  The crowd was encouraged to not wait until Election Day to vote but to vote as soon as possible.   

The polls show Obama trailing McCain 2-5 points, but former State Democratic Chairman Robin Winston said polls would show Julia Carson running either tied or behind in her races and she pull off victories.  

Jill Long Thompson, Democratic candidate for Governor, also took a shot at Governor Daniels.  Saying his economic policies, along with John McCain and George W. Bush were right out The Three Stooges.   JLT is hoping to ride the Obama coattails to victory, but says she can win Indiana even if  Obama loses.

There was bit of excitement during the Obama address.  A man had to be escorted from the crowd after shouting “stop the New World Order.”

The fact that 21,000 people came out on a rainy Wednesday afternoon to see a Democratic Presidential candidate in Indiana clearly shows this state is in play and on Election night, we may not know for a while who Hoosiers decide to pick for President.

    “The crowd was encouraged to not wait until Election Day to vote but to vote as soon as possible.” And as many times as possible! And round up the homeless to vote for me, too!

  2. StatlernWaldorf

    Yes, Julia was tied or behind in the polls but always managed to pull out a SWEEPING victory. I wonder how that happened? Inquiring minds want to know.

    As far as NObama having 21k people there, how many shwed up on large buses? Did you happen to look at that?

    StatlernWaldorf,
    .
    It’s a matter of having the right people in the right places. Counting ballots, for example.
    .
    Either that, or you have a wealthy buddy start manufacturing electronic voting machines. Then you use your position in office to authorize them for use in elections. And finally, you put on a show and act “high and mighty” by creating an ethics panel to tell everyone that the elections went off smoothly.
    .
    It’s been going on in US Presidential politics for decades.

  6. Rico

    Abdul, you’re talking about 21,000 people in Indianapolis who were probably stupid enough to vote for Julia Carson every time she ran. That’s a real shocker! Beth White (illegally) offering preferential seating to early voters was a nice touch.
    That’s quite a flock your buddy has–21,000 sheep wanting big government to take over their lives.

  18. KarenK

    I got there fairly early and have to say it was a large crowd…Probably somewhere between the 10,000 and 21,000…And I did see 3 school buses pull up but those were the only buses I saw. The crowd was very diverse. Even a lot of (gasp) white males which was a shock to me…I thought most of the white males in Hoosierland were fatheaded redneck Republicans. We laughed about and enjoyed sitting in the middle of a sea of “dems” and “libs”. A good time was had by all.

    The fact that 21,000 came out tells us one very important thing - there’s a hell of a lot of gullible people in Indy.
    .
    And for those who agree with me - because you support the GOP liar - you’re equally gullible.
    .
    Either way you’re voting for increased government - increasingly centralized, more debt, more foreign wars, less US sovereignty, etc. Obama and McCain dazzle with promise of change or fearmonger with threats of the boogeyman, but regardless of which face we get on election day, we’ll have the same core policies that undermine and destroy our Republic.

    What’s a political rally without a protest?
    -
    At the start of Sen. Barack Obama’s speech a young man in the grandstands stood up and began shouting. (All I heard him say was something about “a new world order.”)
    -
    After a few seconds, as some in the crowd grew distracted, Obama smiled and said, “What’s going on up there?”
    -
    The crowd began shouting “Obama, Obama, Obama” drowning out the protester as he was escorted away by security officials.
    -
    Obama said the protest was a sign of democracy in action.
    -
    “Everyone’s got an opinion,” he said. “That’s what we’re supposed to be doing at election time.”
    -
    Uh huh…right! “Obama said the protest was a sign of democracy in action.”
    -
    If that political speech provided by that young man was ‘democracy in action’, then what do you call his removal for engaging in ‘democracy’?????

    The latest voter registration numbers for Marion County. Based upon a reported number of registered voters for this election, 677,401, there are more registered voters in Marion County than the actual number of people of voting age. According to STATSIndiana, In 2007, Indianapolis/Marion County had an estimated population of 876,804. Of that number 232,607 were below 18 years of age, for a total of 644,197 people in Marion County/Indianapolis over 18 and thus eligible to vote. (Indiana allows felons to vote as long as they are not incarcerated). So we have 644,197 people eligible to be registered in Marion County/Indianapolis, and 677,401 people registered. Congratulations go to Indianapolis for having 105% of its residents registered!

    OBAMA IS A LIAR AND A FRAUD! Excuse me please! It seems Barack Obama and his 400 paid computer geeks have done a pretty good job of arousing fear in the minds of uninformed voters, and have played the race card in reverse. They planted the seed of racist in the minds of their supporters so that any negative characterizations made by John McCain would incite his feeble minded supporters. John McCain should uncover the real Barack Obama before November 4th. Barack Obama has used all of these people at one time in his political life, but now he doesn’t know any of them. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Minister Louis Farrakan, Rev. Pfleger, Donald Young a murdered lover, Larry Sinclair a former sex partner, terrorist William Ayers introduced him to Chicago politics, Tony Rezko and his realtor wife deal on Obama’s mansion, The most recent friend updates include Barack Obama’s notable associations with supporter Todd Stroger, a corrupt Cook County politician; an updated page for William Ayers, an unapologetic terrorist and known radical who worked closely with Obama in an education foundation; Lester Crown, who gave donations to a political slush fund and has also been a financial supporter of the Obama campaign; former Chicago Alderman Dorothy J. Tillman, who was endorsed by Obama during her re-election bid in 2007; and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D), whose gubernatorial bid was supported by Obama and who accepted illegal campaign donations from Tony Rezko and Ali Ata. Atty. Sandy Newman of ACORN/Project Vote, Democracy Alliance funded by George Soros billionaire supporter, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson, execs at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae financial contributors, Berg v Obama and DNC forged birth certificate for Obama, questions his citizenship.
    Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, characterized as a well-known lawyer within the black community, as well as a devout Muslim, renowned preacher, author, Black Nationalist and extremely vocal opponent of Israel. He is also known to be an adviser to Saudi billionaires Abdul Aziz, Khalid al-Ibrahim and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the latter being the 19th richest man on the planet according to Forbes magazine and principal in charge of Kingdom Holdings, on the board of which al-Mansour sits. Barack Obama’s association with al-Mansour came to light in a relatively recent television interview with Percy Sutton, civil rights activist and former borough president of Manhattan, on a New York-area news program. Sutton had been contacted about Obama by al-Mansour, an adviser to one of the wealthiest men in the world who, he said, was working as “a friend who was raising money for him” and hoped that Sutton’s influence in the northeast could help Obama gain admittance into Harvard Law School.
    We all know about Barack Obama’s associations with shady characters during the years after he emerged from law school as a known commodity, as a former editor of the most influential legal journal in the nation. What I’d like to know is why he was being bankrolled by Khalid al-Mansour before he even went to Harvard Law. Obama has a long history of connections in Kenya, where his father worked as a government economist. Corsi documented this history in his book and went to Kenya to find answers to lingering questions? Particularly about the links between the presidential candidate and Kenya Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Corsi had promised a news conference today that would “expose details of deep secret ties between U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and a section of Kenya government leaders, their connection to certain sectoral groups in Kenya and subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Senator Obama win the American presidency.” Dr. Jerome Corsi, the author of the No. 1 best-selling book “The Obama Nation,” was picked up by authorities at his hotel at 9:45 a.m. and is being detained at Nyayo House, the provincial headquarters for Nairobi. “Just as we were about to start the 10 a.m. press conference at the Grand Regency Hotel in Nairobi, Kenyan immigration approached us and detained us. Tim Bueler, my publicist, and I are now in the immigration offices, with our passports taken. It is clear Barack Obama is a liar and can not be trusted with the office of president.

  29. Rugger

    Shorebreak-

    Well said, you hit the nail right on the head!!!

    Anyone who thinks Obama or McCain instantaneous election win will make our lives or this country better is living in fantasy land.

    Both parties have out lived their usefulness and do nothing except point fingers at each other which has just led to increased polarization in this country.

    Over the past 6 months I have lost hope in my so called leaders to come up with real solutions to real problems in this country.

    Both of these candidates fall into that category.

  32. Think Again

    Inquiring Mind: the population figures you cite do not include minors. Never have.

    However, the number of registered voters does seem to be high, I’ll give you that.

    Here’s what often happens in Marion County, going back 30 years or more:

    Field registrations are completed and handed in, byb hundreds of thousands of volunteers,and those names are added to the list, without cross-checking to see if they’re already registered. Shortly before the election, a computer merge is done to reduce that number. You used to be able to transfer your registration if you’ve moved, but that’s nt the way most folks do it any more. They just re-register…so their names doesn’t come off the books at the old address until this merge is done.

    And in this economy, if you think folks aren’t moving every six months, you haven’t been paying attention for about three years. I’d bet a good fifth of our voters are highly-mobile.

    I stood behind a person at the license branch two weeks ago, who, when asked if she is registered, replied: “I’m not sure.” The clerk (re?)registered her. IF that person were already registered, the duplication wouldn’t be caught until the final merge.

    If the registrars downtown merged those files daily, or regularly, it might be more helpful. But I don’t work there, and don’t know their workload, so I won’t criticize what I don’t know.

    But, I can tell you this: there is not vote fraud in Marion County. Regardless what Todd Rokita wants you to bellieve. If you see it, or suspect it, run to the FBI…which you can do whenever there’s a federal office on the ballot. Because our county prosecutor won’t do a damned thing ayway.

  33. Shorebreak

    Rugger - you’re absolutely correct. Neither party leadership is supportive of America or of the voters. They support a system that’s designed to manipulate the voters into supporting foreign wars, acceptance of an intentional economic depression, and eventual merger into an international system - all under their control.
    .
    The fact that neither Obama nor McCain are pointing at the intentional destruction of the economy by the Federal Reserve is proof positive for anyone with more than 90 IQ points that our national elections are rigged in favor of corporate globalists - on both sides of the media created political aisle.
    .
    The fact that hundreds of billions of dollars are being printed by the Fed for ciculation - with nothing to back them - is 100% proof that the candidates and the media are working against us rather than for us. The one candidate who speaks constantly about these issues was blackballed by the media, was construed by propagandists to appear to be a whiner, and was attacked by corporate candidates on both sides of the aisle.

    ACORN Turns In 2,500 Fraudulent Voter Registrations In Lake County

    REGISTERED A MR. JOHNS JIMMY LIVING AT A JIMMY JOHN’S SANDWICH SHOP
    It is absolutely unbelievable that ACORN, the supposed nonprofit group which operates as an extension of Obama’s presidential campaign, is permitted to register votes anywhere in the U.S. The Sun-Times reports that the group has turned in as many as 2,500 fraudulent voter registrations in Lake County, Indiana alone over the past two weeks. Abdon Pallasch writes:

    As many as 21,000 Hoosiers turned out in the rain Wednesday to cheer on Barack Obama at the state fairgrounds.

    But in Lake County, Ind., a nonprofit group Obama once represented as a lawyer, ACORN, filed an estimated 2,500 fraudulent voter registrations in the past two weeks, county election officials say.

    Indianapolis and Gary gave Obama his highest vote totals in the Indiana primary, along with college towns such as South Bend and Bloomington.

    Lake County, as in other parts of the country, Obama backers say they have signed up thousands of voters inspired by Obama. ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has participated in many of those registration drives. Some Republicans have charged that ACORN members engage in vote fraud. In Las Vegas, federal officials raided ACORN’s offices Tuesday as part of a vote-fraud investigation.

    Here’s the part of the story I like. ACORN registered a “Mr. Johns Jimmy” at the address of a Jimmy John’s in Crown Point:

    In Lake County, 18,000 new voters have registered in the last two weeks, about 5,000 of them signed up by ACORN, said Ruthann Hoagland, of the county’s board of elections. As they started making verification calls on the ACORN registrations, employees found about half were false, she said. One was for a Mr. Johns Jimmy at the address of a Jimmy John’s sandwich shop in Crown Point. Some registrants were dead.

    Hoagland said one ACORN official told her that the employees who filed the fraudulent registrations have been fired. ACORN officials could not be reached for comment. Republican officials have taken the issue to federal court.

    The story notes Obama’s long-standing ties with the group:

    Obama successfully represented ACORN in Chicago in its effort to protect the law that allows people to register to vote when they get their driver’s licenses. Obama’s campaign had no comment on ACORN’s current difficulties.

    Win Percentage:
    Obama: 90.5%
    McCain: 9.5%

    We, as a country, can’t sit idly by with having 4 more years of the same policies we’ve had in place for the last 8.

  37. Shorebreak

    Dave - Last 8? I think you’re a little bit off in your count. The last 8 are nothing more than a continuation of the decades before that. Where the heck have YOU been for the last 35 years?
    .
    The difference between the last 8 and the last 35 is that the plans of the corporate controlled GOP/Dem leadership to implode this nation (in order to assimilate us into their globalism plan) are becoming 100% transparent. The Administrations leading up to the current have been laying the foundation. The next Administration will be much worse - and it won’t matter if it’s McCain or if it’s Obama. They both answer to the same globalist board members.

  38. Geist Doc

    I was at the rally. I too was surprised, but glad to see all of the diversity.

    Democracy was in action because the individual who did protest was exercising his first amendment right which is afforded him by the constitution.

    What has been really unfortunate about this whole election is that people seem to make it their agenda to bring down someone who has ideas that don’t go with the norm. I’m sure he’s not the only person in politics who has had associations that they may or may not be proud of.

  39. Rico

    Give me a break! If McCain was chums with a man who was responsible for bombing the pentagon, this thing would have been over months ago. With the help of the media, every American would be pummeled with the story daily.
    The simple fact of the matter is that liberals(and Democrats, to a slightly lesser degree) don’t care about character. Both parties have scumbags; the GOP punishes theirs, the Dems elevate theirs. Libs don’t care that Obama associates and is mentored by people who hate this country. They don’t care that he thinks it’s okay to kill babies who survive an abortion. They don’t care that his citizenship is questionable. He is a closed book–they don’t care!
    I hope you had a good time with all the other sheep, Doc. Baaaa! Baaaa!

  40. Silent Bob

    Dear Rico: sadly, in case you have slept like Rip Van…..big government took over our lives a couple of weeks ago. To put icing on the cake, now Bush et.al want Americans to become co-owners of banks. Gee, I guess that means I can ask that nice cashier at Huntington to stop filing her nails and open for business. I may be a new Republican but I’m not liking what I see. We can’t underestimate Obama. McCAin needs to come to Indiana pronto. Drop the mud slinging crap and tell Hoosiers just what he can do to solve this financil crisis. There, I said it.

  41. Shorebreak

    Rico - in case you haven’t noticed, the media has been covering up McCains guilty associations, rather than broadcasting them as you claim. And the McCain guilt isn’t a mere allegation, like the one used against Obama. McCain has donations on record from illegal international arms dealers, yet Mum’s the word from CNN, AB-CIA, and FOX. The wife of illegal international arms dealer Pierre Falcon - on trial now in Paris for supplying the CIA led war in Angola (aka ‘The Secret War’) - donated thousands of dollars to McCain when the couple lived in Arizona at the height of the war.
    .
    So, was Obama associated with Weather Underground members? Probably. You don’t get selected by corporate finance to be head deceiver of America by being a goody-two-shoes. But don’t be deceived and think that the media would have a field day with McCain. They have ample opportunity yet they refuse to report.
    .
    The syndicated radio liars (the ones who pretend to be sonservative yet supported massive, strong, socialized central government) who lament about the liberal media are simply distracting us from the fact that corporate media is nothing more than a tool to help private global finance maintain control of our government.
    .
    And Silent Bob,
    .
    The White House suggestion to purchase the banks doesn’t make us bank owners. It’s simply a clever ploy by the banks themselves. They’ve controlled our White House for decades - now they have an opportunity to make their complete take-over appear legitimate. They place their people in the White Hoiuse, and then have their people represent “us” once the merger is complete. They’re still 100% in control, corporatism (a version of fascism with corporate finance controlling the government) is official, and the media keeps the people uninformed of what really happened.
    .
    Now you understand why public schools are directed by the Dept of Education to replace legitimate courses with social programming - if they want to receive funding. Students who can apply logic and who’ve been trained to intuit (rather than listen and follow rules) would rise up against such an obvious takeover. Instead of that, we have a bunch of folks sitting in front of their television or computer scratching their heads and asking “What the hell happened?”

    Dow at 8600. Who will you vote for…I will vote for change.

    [A]t least I know enough not to believe desperate people who are talking trash. Anybody who got whacked [economically] and still thinks McCain-Palin is going to lead us out of the swamp and not into a war with Iran is beyond persuasion in the English language. They’ll need to lose their homes and be out on the street in a cold hard rain before they connect the dots.

    And I agree.

  46. Shorebreak

    Agreed, Arnie. Same goes for those who vote for Obama. When you vote for globalists, the only possible result is the intentional harmonization of world economies. The US must be on par with Haiti if you’re a globalist. That’s why the GOP/Dem cabal is eliminating our economic system. Their financier bosses have already re-established in China, India, and Brazil, so as the US markets are brought down they will continue to profit.

  47. Taxpayer 834512

    I’m onboard for both parties being more concerned about power and greed than citizens, and outright or reluctant compliance with global banking interests. My dumb question again, How do they make more money off an America in economic collapse than one that has the capital to use the spectrum of banking services? They take their “bailout” and move on to greener pastures in China, India, or whatever? The global convergence of interest reduction is to protect countries still making profits for banks, versus any care for the withering? If so, it appears we will remain indirect beneficiaries, because it appears we drag everyone else down with us. Therefore, global banking reluctantly still has interest in U.S. survivial? What a delight to ponder this stuff.

  48. Shorebreak

    Taxpayer,
    .
    The answer with regards to profit motive of banks is this: It’s not about profit. It’s about control. When you’ve amassed a furtune of billions, at a personal level what difference does it make to have $1 Billion in your pocket v. $10 Billion? There’s no difference.
    .
    My point is that the planned action of economic globalizition is ideologically based. Money isn’t the goal. It’s the tool. The goal is control. We’ve been conditioned to think and rationalize based upon what our media and culture has been conditioned us to believe. We think things like “Banks are for profit. When a banking institution does something, the motive is profit. Therefore, understanding the motive means recognizing the profit incentive. If profit is not present, the bank must not intend on the result.”
    .
    When we can expand our thinking beyond the conditioned response (ie: consider bank activity with no preconceptions, only with action:result) we can start to understand what is happening. Apply the same thinking to anything - your relationships, the federal government etc - and you’ll soon see that you livre in an entirely different reality than you used to “believe in”.
    .
    For example, using only one individual among many possible examples, here is reality: David Rockefeller, who wrote his college thesis on Fabian Socialism (advancement of socialism gradually as opposed to via revolution), former CEO of Chase Manhattan (lead bank for the UN - now JPMorganChase) and first US bank to represent the Bank of China, Chairman Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, joined Carnegie Foundation upon invite by Alger Hiss, donated UN land for UN construction, relocated Carnegie Foundation across street from UN, employer of Paul Volcker before he became Fed Chairman (Carter tried to appoint Rockefeller, but Rockefeller declined and sent Volcker in his place), employer of all Presidents of the World Bank prior to their appointments, holds regular luncheons for World Bank and worldwide Central Bankers at Pocantico in Westchester, NY (right down the street from Bill and Hillary. George HW Bush lives down the street from the Rockefeller estate in Maine), formed Council of the America’s with goal of integrating North/South American economies, was first to officially propose NAFTA, and he even worte the following in his 2002 autobiography “Memoirs”:
    .
    “For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as “internationalists” and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
    .
    And Rockefeller is only one of many key socialists who control our financial institutions and our government. They are the trojan horse who have usurped the White House away from the people, who are gradually expanding it’s reach and authority over the other gov’t branches, and who are slowly erododing our Constitution ans they follow their Fabian Socialist goal - not only for the US, but via economic integration and domination via globalism.
    .
    There is no profit motive. The motive is control.

    1.) Selma Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google ‘Obama Selma’ for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

    2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

    3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

    4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Yourhalf-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga’s follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that….and for more.
    Obama’s cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians’ homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

    5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5 AM , according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

    6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side. While Barack Hussein Obama’s father was from Kenya , his father’s family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro). From….and for more….go to…..

    8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book). February 28, 2008 . Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’ This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says ‘Obama’s narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.’

    10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons?

    14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.

    15.) I Won’t Run On A National Ticket In ‘08 - NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

    28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

    Ok. I’m speculating that this could be “good news”. If it’s not a matter of who’s richest, but who’s in charge, I argue that the winner (historically) is raw economics. Meaning, the finance cabal may want to be Kings of the World just because of the intoxicaton of power, but sooner or later civilizations crumble if there aren’t sound economics. My truly feeble understanding of the Roman Empire is that they were overextended in distributing benefits and lacked more preyable lands to keep the cycle moving, not that they strictly declined from a preoccupation with control, but from the byproduct of that control. If there are economic “puppetmasters”, I hope the intellect they harness on finance will make them eventually realize they have an interest in sustainable economies, or they can’t sustain the opulence to which they’re accustomed. I think this gets back to somebody like Maslow, but trump is survival and this cartel has better chances on more than just “surviving” with thriving economies, not withered decimated ones they completely control.

    I don’t recommend voting for Senator McCain because he would be a great leader. He’s the lest apt to lead us to the mega-government, monospeak I forsee from the convergance of our bipartisan ecomonic crash, being stigmatized by past slavery, and the fourth estate in the tank. Somebody explain to me what domestic “check” there will be for Senator Obama? Congress? Media? Supreme Court?(not for long), 2012 election? Unlikely with growing nationalization and entitlement supporters. This scenario won’t be the case for McCain. However ideologically pure, a vote for even lesser candidates nets a vote for Obama. Despite the wretched Bush Presidency, not a prospect I think we want.

    Are you now censoring this site, Abdul? Just like your hero, you’re trying to silence your critics…? What happened to my last post(which was quite brilliant)? In fact, your fellow Obama groupie Think Again had a few posts removed. If it’s just a quantity issue, then I apologize for the assumption. But then ,I guess, congrats are in order for the number of posts you consistently receive.

    Steady Rico. You lend truth to the wild a.. assumption that all Republicans are bigots. Cool the rhetoric and concentrate on the things that make the GOP great.

  53. Rico

    I mistakenly thought some posts were removed and do apologize for the mistake.
    Where was there a hint of bigotry present in any of my comments, Silent Bob?
