Anyone voting for Obama should think hard about the implications that will result from an election of this man to president. There is obviously going to be a super majority of Democrats in the House and in the Senate after this election. This will mean there is nothing to stop the Democrats from passing any and all bills and laws of their choice. The Republicans will not be able to even filibuster from the floor to delay passage of these items because of their minority status. It has been tossed around that there are 49-million people without health insurance, which is a tragedy, but can you imagine what it will do to the health care system? It is sometimes difficult to get an appointment or a bed in the hospital now. There has been no mention of building the hospitals and educating all the medical people conducive to accommodating that large a number of new patients. It would be overwhelming to the existing system and take years to accomplish a feat of that magnitude (by either party). Obama has stated that he wants to provide this health care now, not 10 years down the road. ...more

Joe the Plumber asked an honest question and because Obama didn't like it, and it got out in the media, they are crucifying this guy. Obama and Biden are mocking him. They aren't just mocking and making fun of Joe the Plumber, they are mocking and making fun of Joe the real American. He is making fun of all of us. ...more

It did not surprise me to see a letter like the one written by Dallas Dunlap in which he basically blames the Republicans for wrecking the United States. After all, in the world of Dallas Dunlap, Frances Earl and Ted Rall, Republicans are evil and Democrats are the saviors of mankind. ...more

This is a quote from the Tampa Tribune on Sept. 24. It came from the mouth of Karen Peoples, who has been the Tampa Housing Authority Commissioner since 1998 and she has, by this article, lived in this residence since 1984. The rent payment Ms. Peoples was responsible for was a mere $26 per month and the article states she was $58 in arrears. She stated she had nowhere to go. The article stated that the authority had been trying to work with Ms. Peoples since January. They offered to relocate her from her four-bedroom house to a one bedroom apartment at three different housing properties. She refused each offer, because it would have taken her out of her East Tampa neighborhood she calls home. ...more
