Race to the White House – Update

SeVeN — Sun, 04 May 2008 15:42:21 +0000

Well, the officially unofficial resuts from the Pennsylvania primary are finally in:

Clinton: 85 delegates
Obama: 73 delegates

Results are also in for the tiny island in the Pacific Ocean; Guam. Obama won by a margin of 7 votes. Go Guam!

Obama: 2 delegates
Clinton: 2 delegates

The latest count by the Associated Press showed Obama with 1742.5 delegates to Clinton’s 1,607.5. The next primary will be held Tuesday with Indiana and North Carolina voting. No major decision is likely to come from these two states and this race will continue on until June 3rd. We might as well just push on to the end at this point and let all of the states (and Peurto Rico) get a chance. It’s an historic election, after all.

In other election news, Ron Paul stated in an interview with Wolf Blitzer that he preferred Senator Obama to John McCain. Quickly adding that this was not an endorsement. Watch the interview below:

Ron Paul – Why He Should Be President

SeVeN — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 05:14:04 +0000

It’s such a shame that the majority of America’s citizens are dumb, shit-kickin’ rednecks. Or that the nation’s women are blinded by gender. Or that so many people are too lazy to unplug from Fox, CNN, or ABC. They would rather be spoon-fed lies, distortions, and spin instead of searching for the truth. Why do the two strongest candidates for president – Ron Paul & Barack Obama – have such a huge following with the online community? Because they are elitists and so are we.

Urban Dictionary definition: The plural of elitist. In short, a person, or group of persons, who believes something about them makes them superior to others, and they feel the need to flaunt their superiority.

Why are we so superior? We aren’t shit-kickin’ rednecks and we don’t let Bill O’Reilly or Ann Coulter tell us how to think. A woman will sit in the Oval Office as President of the United States. But she won’t get our vote just because she is a woman. Congressman Paul and Senator Obama don’t talk down to us in a patronizing manner. They speak to us one on one; no bullshit, no lies and no spin. They tell it like it is. This country has fallen into ruin and it’s going to take some hard work to put Humpty Dumpty together again.

Hillary Clinton should step down so that we can put an intellectual in the White House and start some nation re-building.

Obama/Paul ’08

Ron Paul – He Who Should Be President

SeVeN — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:04:51 +0000

There’s a well written article on Politico by jonothan Martin; Ron Paul is down but not out.
Ron Paul and his supporters have not given up. They have not given up with spreading the message of Dr. Paul; less government is more. Although his run for the presidency is finished, supporters still turn out to hear him speak. And still turn out to vote. Dr. Paul won 16% of the vote in Pennsylvania. I have stated before that Ron Paul would be my first pick for President. The big question on everyone’s mind now is who are all of these people going to vote for in the general election? They will probably follow Ron Paul’s lead. I personally wish that he would keep his name on the ticket. Unfortunately, he has stated unequivocally that he would not run under a third party. Minds can be changed.

I am afraid that the democrats are once again shooting themselves in the foot. I have about had it. Actually, I’m sick to shit of it. Hillary Clinton has ruined it for me. The prospect of having to listen to that voice for four years or possibly eight makes me terrified. I am in an absolute quandry over what I will do come November if the battle is between McCain and Clinton. I can’t and won’t vote for either one of them. Perhaps, I too, will have to wait and see where the Ron Paul supporters go.

Real ID – An Attempt At a National ID Card?

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security… Benjamin Franklin

Despite opposition from many states and privacy groups, such as the ACLU, Homeland Security is moving forward with their Real ID plan. This plan will require that everyone born after December 1, 1964 carry a Real ID card. These cards will be mandatory by 2014 and will be required if you wish to drive a car, get on a plane or enter a governmental building. Smells like a National ID card to me. The “Real ID Act’ flew through the House and Senate. It was attached to an Iraq spending bill in 2005. I suppose this was another bill that our elected officials couldn’t be bothered to read thoroughly. Some states have already passed legislation against the Real ID Plan for various reasons; privacy concerns, identity theft and cost. Thankfully, Colorado is one of those states.

Both Ron Paul and Barack Obama are against implementing any such ID card to the American public.

The New Year & Some Politics

SeVeN — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 19:39:36 +0000

First off – a Happy New Year to all.
I think 2008 is going to be an interesting year. Unless you have been living on a deserted island for all of 2007, we have a Presidential race to deal with. With no sitting President or Vice President running for re-election a wide open field of candidates are in the race. Two states have already completed their primaries; Iowa and New Hampshire. For the Democrats Obama captured a win in Iowa with Clinton squeaking a win out of New Hampshire. Huckabee took the win in Iowa for the Republicans with McCain taking New Hampshire. Regardless of what all of the talking heads in the media say, it’s still anyone’s ballgame.

Have I made my decision? Not exactly. I know who I don’t want to see in the White House. All of the Republican candidates, with the exception of Ron Paul, scare the shit out of me. The fact that Paul isn’t doing better in the polls just proves the stupidity and sheep mentality of the American public. Far too many people believe the word of FOX News is gospel. The deliberate censoring of Paul by FOX also shows a fear (mainly from the far right) of what Paul stands for. (Need more – Google Ron Paul censoring.) Don’t know what he stands for? Well, pull your head out of the mainstream media – visit Ron Paul’s official website and do some reading, go to YouTube (search for Ron Paul) and do some listening, avoid all of the major news reporting agencies of the United States as if they were the plague. All I can say is that the man makes the most sense out of all of the candidates. My mind was pretty much made up early as far as the Democratic candidates go. It’s Obama all the way. Clinton is as frightening as the Republicans and the rest of the Democrats in the running don’t have much in the way of cojones. It’s still early times for this race and no decisions can be made and cast in stone. My goal is to make an informed decision based on facts – not rhetoric. Not an easy task in the Bush controlled US.
