Palin's Glass House

Submitted by Ken Dixon on Tue, 2008-10-07 08:19.

<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 <![endif]-->

They say that "if you live in a glass house then you should not throw stones."

Gov. Palin is on the attack.  In her latest round of speeches she slams Sen. Obama's relationship with Bill Aires.  The McCain camp also plan to use Rev. Wright to plant fear into the hearts and minds of prospective swing voters.

Gov. Sarah Palin's nomination for VP has become a problem for John McCain, the Republican Party and the Conservative Right.   Her nomination has also become a problem for our nation.  This nomination could turn out to be a potential 911 disaster if she has to take over the presidency on day two.

<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 <![endif]-->

In the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, John McCain wants to change the subject from the central question of this election.

Perhaps that's because the policies McCain supported these past eight years are pretty hard to defend.

The Obama campaign put together a documentary about why John McCain's failed philosophy and poor judgment are a recipe for deepening the crisis.

Why should we vote?

Submitted by Ken Dixon on Sun, 2008-09-14 01:12.

<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 <![endif]-->

 The 2008 Presidential Champaign is a first in many ways.  Even the major network reality TV shows can't touch the Conservatives Vs Liberals game shows we see each night.  This race for the White House has clearly demonstrated our abilities as a people and as a nation to push forward despite the obstacles.   Senators Obama and Clinton cracked the glass ceiling in a primary race that energized Americans in ways that most people never imagined.  It also revels the magnitude of the huge racial divide within this country.   Many Americans have developed a heighten sense of awareness of the current racial climate, but the problems we face as a nation extend far beyond race issu

Greed and irresponsibility

Submitted by Ken Dixon on Fri, 2008-09-26 05:54.

<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 <![endif]-->

From Barack Obama,

The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has created a financial crisis as profound as any we have faced since the Great Depression.

Congress and the President are debating a bailout of our financial institutions with a price tag of $700 billion or more in taxpayer dollars. We cannot underestimate our responsibility in taking such an enormous step.

Whatever shape our recovery plan takes, it must be guided by core principles of fairness, balance, and responsibility to one another.
