"Blunderful Life" is good, but someone should redo it properly. :)

More Americans are drawing the conclusion that Mainstream Media is with every skill manipulating this 2008 election. The Media is hardwired to our economic Federal Reserve System, stock market, and political leadership now in power, Bush and Company, which through the years, have developed the crisis America is currently in.

Those hard connections through the past ten years of republican controlled Congress developed the current dilemma America is in, such as immigration, and the war. The GOP essentially held the door open for the massive influx of undocumented migrant workers for a two fold reason. Cheap labor and union busting. It’s clear undocumented labor does not compete in the market place, more over Mexicans being illegal can’t vote or unionize. Actually the perfect lower to middle income individual economic trap.

It’s almost crazy to believe America is not in a recession let alone a looming depression of another kind. This kind of a recession is that which one can not get a job to sustain a middle income living, or now America is on the brink were millions of individuals will loose their homes by this mortgage melt down. Remember a recession is when one is out of a job or in a job which can not sustain a living. A depression is when one looses their home. A recession is in full swing and major media that support the Bush Administration are dancing around “Fixed” news that confuses the issue, and will ride out time till the Democrats get into office. To be sure the hell we are wondering about will surely break loose to blame the Democrats.

More of the majority of Americans believes that Hillary, and Bill Clinton have the real sense and good will to ratchet down the war to make it disappear. While making important adjustments to the economy, all the time creating International trust, addressing huge domestic needs at the same to untangle the absurd imbalance in the deficit that is strangling the middle class.

It amazes me how so many out there can say the Clintons are divisive, when it was the Clinton Administration that promoted the Internet which now brings America and the world together at the same time creating a new economic engine were individuals can compete with the business giants. Better, given this entire medium, the Internet, to be able to express our opinions as in no other time in history. Strikingly the heath care issue which was characterized by Mainstream Media years ago is actually the Mainstream now taken up by both parties to win the American electorate.

Vote Hillary Clinton 2008, I’m just a Joe six pack and approve this message.

I really can't understand why anyone would want to vote for Hillary Clinton. I know alot of her domestic policies appeal to people when it comes to foreign policy she's basically been in line with every single neocon policy that there's been. This is a woman who authorises war in iraq, then says she was wrong to do so. She then turns around and tells us that she won't be able to withdraw until 2013, and then decides to label the Iranian military a terrorist organisation when they've invaded no one in the last century.

Hillary is very much an establishment hack, and I'd thought that after 25 years of establishment hacks we'd be able to elect someone who isn't, like Gravel, Paul or Kucinich.

She was off my list the moment she started touring with Newt Gingrich last year.

I'm no huge fan of Clinton, but making the argument that establishment=bad and non-establishment=good is simplistic at best. The establishment, as it exists today, provides some pretty good stuff, like Social Security. I mention this because you lump Ron Paul in with Kucinich, which is a silly and infuriating habit I've seen far too many people take up lately. Kucinich represents change in a good direction, I feel, even though I won't be voting for him in the primaries either--Paul, however, would be a disaster on toast if he were elected. Change for its own sake is not always a good thing.

PLEASE someone explain how a rich guy gets to stay in his penthouse...I have never heard of this before. Can I get sentenced and stay in my house? Is this legal - you know .. equal justice and all?

Re Carpet Bagger Report:

It doesn't matter what is the latest evidence is of Bush's WH participation is in the NH phone scam crimes - or any of their other thousands of high crimes and misdemeanors. So long as Bush has the most loyal of all his supporters, Pelosi, Hoyer and Reid, covering his back, he will never be held accountable.

That attempted move by J.Edgar Hoover shows what happens when you out a hypocritical cross-dressing transvestite in charge of a bunch of armed idiots with law degrees.

I've joined a new environmental group. It's called: 'Save the Quick-Footed Mouse'.

I'm sure you'll all agree it's a worthwhile program.

Unfortunately, it involves shotgunning the Spotted Owl.

Hey, stuff happens.

We're also involved in 'Save the Krill'. Eating whales is required.

How about 'Save a Tree'? Recycle your condoms.

The War on Christmas is working, and as many recent wars, is starting overseas.

In England, they have atheist carols, for those who like the pageantry of the Holiday season.

In Belgium, they have atheist cards, to cheer and acknowledge the presence of other right-thinkers.

I suppose in Germany, they'll start machine-gunning effigies of Jesus on the cross, but that may be going a bit far,
though I'm sure it'll get the Pope's attention.

The funny comment made about all those former advisors Hillary Clinton had and now work for Obama, also as advisers, is largely tossed around with every Mainstream Media commentator as Obama makes a great snit against Hillary Clinton. Here, Hillary makes a chuckle and said she would like to hear about that one. Then Obama makes the snit, that he would also like her as an advisor too. Many chuckles from everyone. Here, Hillary had an opportunity to fire back however she didn’t. One could respect Hillary’s silence, yet recognize Obama’s comment as an arrogance of deficiency, leading the country by advisors other than his own vision. Something he always says about change but obviously doesn’t know how or know were he is going. And so clear that’s the funny part.

But here, most every commentator, Journalist gives Obama the edge about this snit remark. From my prospective Hillary’s comment fired back is on target and shows Obama’s sallow “reasoning”. Many of the electorate in the country don’t realize the only reason Obama won big in Illinois is because he ran against Allen Keyes who scared the day lights out of everyone in the state. The Republicans most likely gave the election specifically to help Obama win. I personally saw Keyes at a rally and am convinced he is way too weird.

The troubling thing to me is when I talk to many Blacks I hear different responses about Obama’s religion. Obama is supposed to be a Christian. Yet, Obama appears to keep his Islamic name. Well, I wonder about that and how committed is he. Just as he votes present most of the time in the Illinois Senate, is Obama just presently a Christian? If he was baptized why not take a Christian name? Why is he on the fence with his religion? Will he be on the fence with his changes? That’s all I’m asking Barrack Hussein Obama.

****Calling Hillary Clinton a hack of the establishment is a sallow argument for a first lady who took on the establishment to change health care system way back when. But now, this heath care issue is mainstream change. From my point of view there is no argument with individuals that are blinded by hate rather then achievements. Hillary’s vision of a better culture is some thing that took a while but bet your ballot you will one day benefit from it. Don’t choke too hard.
