They’re Worried
Is it really a shoe-in for the messiah?
I’ve been telling people for weeks that the election is not over and The One does not have the gigantic lead that he appears to have. Steve over at WizBang! has been doing excellent work looking at the poll numbers and why they are not necessarily as bad as they seem.
Kim DuToit has been saying “7 states” for weeks now, believing that “Urkle” will get only seven states when it is all said and done.
I believe him. In fact, I bet someone breakfast on it this week.
Over at Jim Treacher’s place, I found a link to this NY Times hit piece:
Growing Doubts on Palin Take a Toll, Poll Finds
I agree with Jim, if they weren’t scared out of their minds, the tone of the left would be much, much different than it is right now.
Keep talking to your friends and co-workers. Keep up the pressure. Keep telling the truth.
We will win.

Oh no way. Just no way.
Rancino sends me two links from the very far right edge of the blogosphere.
Naughty cheesecake nekkid pictures of the Obamomma and the theory that Frank Marshall Davis is Obama’s actual father.
See? We’re practically middle of the road in comparison.
I don’t buy it. Either one. But I kinda like the 1958 bad-girl FMPs. They even look rainbow colored.
Maybe I need a new posting category called Really Wild Theories, Conspiracy and Otherwise.
Limping Back into the Game
Hey folks, a voice from the past emerges from the darkness. I’m going to try and post a little something here and there to amuse you. This was created by a friend of mine today. We should have had the bumper stickers made weeks ago.

Nice cache catch
via Bill Roggio’s Long War Journal, some news from the war in Iraq. Remember Iraq? Remember that there’s a war going on over there? Funny, it never makes the news anymore.
Iraqi troops uncovered a massive weapons cache and factory inside the northeastern neighborhood of Sadr City. The cache contained 34 of the deadly explosively-formed penetrators (EFPs), the weapons that are the hallmark of the Iranian-backed Shia militias. This is the third large cache found in Sadr City since Oct. 20.
The find is “significant as it included the machines used by the enemy to manufacture explosively-formed penetrators – the number one killer of our US soldiers,” said Lieutenant Colonel Steven Stover, the chief Public Affairs Officer for Multinational Division Baghdad.
The soldiers found 34 EFPs, 53 copper plates and 40 shaped plates, which are used for the EFP’s shaped warhead, 160 blocks of C4 explosives, and 14 107 mm rockets and launch rails. Also found were three presses and a punch, machinery that is thought to be used to mill the copper plates into the cone-shaped warhead.
Since Oct. 20, Iraqi troops found two other large caches in Sadr City. A raid by troops from the 3rd Battalion, 42nd Brigade of the 11th Iraq Army Division on Oct. 20 resulted in the discovery of 61 rockets, 368 mortar rounds, 263 mortar tubes, shape charges, an IED, 32,000 rounds of ammunition, seven DSHKA machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades launchers and grenades, and other equipment.
The same Iraqi Army unit also found a large cache in Sadr City the day prior. The troops found 15 EFPs, an IED, two 72.5 mm rockets, two 64 mm rockets, numerous RPG launchers and warheads and hand grenades, and other equipment.
In all, 49 of the deadly EFPs have been found by Iraqi troops since Oct. 20.
Sounds like the Iraqi Army is doing a pretty fine job. And, along with our guys, they’re rounding up “insurgents” and Qod Force fighters at a good rate - several dozen so far this month, including a couple of the money men.
Qods Force has supported various Shia militias and terror groups inside Iraq, including the Mahdi Army, which it helped build along the same lines as Lebanese Hezbollah. Iran denies the charges, but captive Shia terrorists admit to being recruited by Iranian agents, and then transported into Iran for training.
Bravo. Well Done. And there’s more, including the capture of 180 AQ “suspects”. Go read the rest.

I told ya so
Here’s the latest, recycled, and utterly expected election season story from CNN: We can’t trust the voting machines! Paper Trails! Hacking! Chads!
Eight years after Florida’s hanging chads exasperated voters and helped usher in sweeping changes in voting technology, many election observers remain concerned about the accuracy of the electronic voting systems most Americans will use November 4.
Touch-screen machines can occasionally fail or register votes for unintended candidates. Optical-scan systems can have trouble reading paper ballots that are too long or marked with the wrong ink. At least one study suggests that electronic voting machines can be easily hacked.
And some 9 million voters, including many in the battleground states of Ohio and Florida, will use equipment that has changed since March, increasing concerns about errors next Tuesday.
“You can be almost certain that there will be irregularities in some places around the country,” said Rep. Rush Holt, D-New Jersey. “The problem now is that roughly a third of voters nationwide will use unverifiable electronic machines. So if there are uncertainties, there will be no way to resolve them.”
“We have to hope that there aren’t problems with the accuracy.”
SSDD. Because destroying faith in the system is one of the basic tenets of a commie/socialist takeover plot.
You want a paper trail? Fine. But how do you keep the ballot secret? Easy. You ask Drew to come up with a solution in 10 seconds or less.
Hmmm ... cogitate ... cogitate ... Ah Ha!
First, you hook up one of those little label printers that you can get everwhere for $50 or less to the voting machine.
Then you write a simple bit of code that outputs several numbers:
1) The number of your state, the number of your polling station, the voting machine at that polling station, and which voter at that machine that you are. Example: 47 1063 15 258
2) How you voted for each of the selections/questions/positions. Number them. 0=NO, 1=YES, 3=candidate 1, 4=candidate 2, etc. Example: 11 20 31 42 52 61
3) Last number is a date and time stamp. When you sign in at your table, the time will also be noted. Example 2008 11 04 16:34:27.25 God help you if your voting timestamp is earlier than your login timestamp.
This is EXACTLY what it will look like:
Ta freakin dah! A paper trail, and your vote is still private. Scale the thing so that it can handle a fairly large number of things to vote on, with a couple dozen choices each. And I bet it still comes out to way less than 250 characters, spaces included. Which means ... hang on ...
The vote tallies would no longer be delivered. The actual votes themselves would. At 250 digital characters per voter, you would be able to store 4 voter’s votes per “K”. Which means 1024 votes per “Meg”. Which means a bit more than a million votes per “Gig”. Which means, in an era when you can buy a PC with more than half a terabyte of hard drive space on it, that you could store the entire nation’s actual votes on what is these days a normal sized hard drive.
And any time anyone wanted to prove the system, all they need to do is show up with their paper with the bar codes on it. There’s a scanner at the polling place. There’s a scanner at the county office. There’s a scanner at the state office. And another one down in DC.
Just for fun, about once every 15 minutes some random voter is asked to scan their paper anyway. You hook the scanner up inside a voting booth to a spare voting machine. They scan their paper, and the machine lights up with their choices. That machine has NO voting button, just for safety. Each polling station takes a handful of slips to county. Each county takes a handful to State. Each State takes a handful to DC, and they all get checked.
Don’t want to waste time actually delivering the hard drives, just to count the votes the first time through? Then send the tallies in by secure encryption. One encrypted data line is the same as the next. You just don’t tell anybody what the phone numbers are. But the HDs get delivered anyway, and run, data copied and tabulated. And those totals would be the formal, official totals at the county, state, and national level. Want to do a recount? You could recount the ENTIRE COUNTRY in about a minute and a half. Under a second if you give the data to one of them big government computers. Worried about naughtiness in the computer? Assign 100 random programmers to review the code and watch the compilation. Because the code is dead simple. It would only be a few hundred lines worth. A geeky 10 year old could write it.
For the cost of what Americans donate to the election campaign, plus maybe a few weeks worth of budget for the war in Iraq, this could be installed all across the country. And we’d never have to hear this worrisome, degenerate “don’t trust the system, man”, socialist crap from CNN again.
In the meantime, here’s a much simpler system that’s been around for years now. Even the update was free.
Instant Update:
I spent another 10 seconds thinking about this after I posted. The voter would need reassurance that the paper bar code slip has the correct information on it. Ok, ... done. You’d want an extra button on the voting machine that gets labeled “Ready To Cast Vote”. Press it and it generates the bar code slip. Right above the voting machine is another machine. It has a screen and a slot and two buttons. Feed your slip in the slot, it reads it, and the screen lights up with a full size copy of your vote. If you press the “Verified: Screen agrees with voting machine” button it then clears the screen. At that point you press the “Cast Your Vote” button on the voting machine. If what you see does not agree and you press the “NO” button, it reads the slip again. You get 3 tries, at which point it signals a poll worker for help. When you cast your actual vote, the second machine gives you your slip back, possibly now imprinted with “Official Vote”. Ok, this doubles the cost of the system. But hey, what’s a 100% cost overrun when we’re talking about a government project? And besides, I spent an extra 10 seconds thinking about it.
Instant Updated Update:
Forget the secondary system. Forget the bar coding. The slip prints in plain English:
Voter: 358
Date: 11/04/2012 8:34:27 AM
President: Palin / Jindal
Senator: Zimmer
Animal Control Officer: Pearce
Question 1: NO
Question 2: NO
Read the slip, check the machine, cast your vote. It would be your responsibility to keep the bit of paper private and secure. Hey, I just saved the government 10 billion dollars!
But, this is Joe Biden’s State!
Cops: She’s too old. And female.
(via Kim’s)
Gun purchase glitch raises question Delaware State Police stopped Alvina Vansickle from purchasing a .22-caliber pistol for self-defense because she was too old and a woman, said Superintendent Col. Thomas MacLeish.
The outrage that followed led to the revelation that Delaware State Police had been keeping lists of gun buyers for years; state law requires them to destroy these records after 60 days.
Without so much as a traffic ticket, the 81-year-old Lewes resident should have sailed through the mandatory state police background check when she tried to buy a Taurus revolver from Charlie Steele’s Lewes gun shop last August. Problems started after Steele made the required phone call to state police for approval of the firearms transaction. An employee in the state police Firearms Transaction Approval Program noticed Vansickle’s age and gender, and brought the sale to an immediate halt.
Vansickle’s application was then routed to Sgt. Benjamin Nefosky, who heads the firearms approval unit. According to MacLeish, the transaction was halted over concerns “based upon age and gender.”
MacLeish said the initial call taker “was concerned this individual never purchased a weapon before. Age and gender caused her to take caution.”
As to whether age and gender are included in the state statute as legitimate reasons to reject a firearms purchase, MacLeish stated, “No, they are not.”
Lawson said Nefosky told him he searched seven years of firearms transaction records to see if Vansickle had ever bought a gun before.
In an interview with The News Journal, MacLeish claimed all paper firearms records are destroyed every 60 days. The electronic records, however, are another story.
“Our review of our electronic records indicated we had a glitch in the system, back to August 2005,” he said. “They have since been purged.”
Oh, it’s just a computer glitch. Oh, bullshit. As someone who used to write computer code for a living, let me tell you that nothing that ever happens in a computer program is an accident. Computers do exactly what you tell them to do, nothing less and nothing more. Somebody wrote some code that kept a list of gun purchasers, and they did it deliberately. This was an attempt by the police to play sneaky games with the law.
“Oh, we got rid of the paper copy!” But kept a digital one, that could be accessed about 10 million times faster.
“Oh, don’t worry, that file has been purged!” Yeah, but what about the hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual full and incremental backups that have been going on since August 2005? That record still exists; my bet is that there are at least (does fast math in head) One Thousand Three Hundred full or partial digital copies of it. And you’d better call Iron Mountain because most of those won’t even be on site.
This is a lie. The Delaware cops kept this information on purpose, regardless of the law. And they have people working for them that use their “feelings” to deny you your rights. And that’s Ok with the cops: it’s just “taking caution”. But remember, now that SCOTUS has decided Heller, that Obama supports your right to own a gun. Even though he felt DC’s gun laws were constitutional before Heller was decided. And his running mate, Joe Biden from Delaware, feels the same way.
Fire the whole damn bunch of them, and then start slapping down lawsuits, from the “cautious” buttinsky woman at FTAP right on up to the Superintendent of the Delaware State Stasi Police. And the code should be gone over, every single line. Twice.

Dear Abbey Useful Idiots Plain Old Idiots Obama Voters
Another letter to Obama voters
Blogger BlackisWhite over at Taxes, Stupidity, and Death writes a great little essay that shows why Obavoting is pretty stupid.
I added the paragraph headers.
I got ya reparations, right here
For white people who have this feeling that they are somehow responsible for slavery and subsequent injustices, I assure you, you are not. The last 40 years brought an end to Jim Crow, segregation, and inequality of opportunity. Good people, black and white, sacrificed, and in some cases died, to bring these promises to fruition. Not only was opportunity opened to all, remediation was imposed in education, admission to colleges and universities, and the job market in the form of lowered standards, quotas, and affirmative action, and today’s trendy belief, diversity. Add these to the blood shed in the Civil War, and the debt is paid.
But that’s racist!The years since the Civil Rights Movement have not seen all the promise that everyone might have hoped. The good news is that this can be fixed. The bad news is that you have to decide to step up and claim your birthright as an AMERICAN, and reject your victim rights as African-Americans. The doors were opened to you, but by and large, you decided to continue to select leaders who put their best interests first, and their lip service to your needs as the bones they will toss to you. Many of you chose the slavery of the attitude that the government owes this or that, and when members of your own community step outside of that mindset and build success, and then tell you that you can do the same, you berate them and belittle them as sellouts ...
Stand up next Tuesday and cast a vote for your own choices. You can choose to continue to choose, or you can choose to surrender all rights and responsibilities and settle for what the government chooses to give to you. It really shouldn’t be a difficult decision.
There’s a lot more at the link. Good job!

School drop-off: The children who walk to class each day along 5,000ft cliff ledge
By Eddie Wrenn
Last updated at 2:05 PM on 30th October 2008For most parents the school-run may seem death-defying, but it usually only consists of a quick drive or walk to the gates.
So spare a thought for the families of Gulucan village in West China, who take their lives in their hands every day with a a school walk which involves navigating a narrow path carved into a 5,000-ft cliff-side.
It is the only way they can get to the school, which with its five concrete rooms is the known as the best construction in the village.
Cliff-top walk: The daily walk to and from Gulucun Primary school certainly takes some courage with a 5,000ft sheer drop on one side.
High school: The tiny village can be seen nestled in the bottom right of the picture.

Criminals on probation committed 120 murders in two years.
Well, here I am again with a posting from not so merry olde England.
Not just because of the nature of this story and I promise not for any kind of shock value. I got to thinking, if the number is this high here in a country with a population so much smaller then then the USA, good grief. What must it be like back home in America?
Has anyone published reports like this? I’m sure they must have.
So, there are at least 120 people whose futures ended the day criminal scum were allowed probation.
Maybe it’s just meself that’s fallen off the edge of the planet. I don’t understand this at all. Is there any way to understand?
Criminals on probation committed 120 murders in two years
By James Kirkup, Political Correspondent
Between April 2006 and April this year, offenders serving community sentences and suspended sentences were convicted of a total of 121 murders.
There were a total of 1,004 serious crimes committed by offenders being supervised by the Probation Service, including 22 attempted murders, 103 rapes and 682 other serious violent or sexual offences.
Another 374 alleged offences committed by criminals in the community have yet to come to trial.
Figures from the Ministry of Justice also showed a rise in the number of offenders being spared jail and given community-based sentences instead.
Some 162,650 offenders started supervised community sentences in 2007, a 5 per cent rise from 2006.
The number of offenders supervised by the Probation Service was 242,720 at 31 December 2007, up 3 per cent on the previous year.
The disclosure will put new pressure on ministers over their drive to keep offenders out of jail because of prison overcrowding.
Earlier this week it was revealed that prisoners set free early to cut jail numbers have been accused of three murders. Offenders released under the “end of custody licence” system have also been accused of 8 acts of wounding and 170 other violent crimes.
The Ministry of Justice insisted that the vast majority of offenders on probation had originally committed only minor offences, giving no clue that they would later commit serious crimes when on probation.
The Ministry said: “Any serious offence is of great concern and the Probation Service condemns the actions of any individual who is responsible for these offences.
“The Probation Service knows the impact crimes have on victims and their families and is constantly working towards having the best possible systems in place to supervise these offenders in the community and protect the public.
“The number of SFO (Serious Further Offence) convictions against all offenders supervised by the Probation Service was around 0.3% last year. We recognise that each of the offences has a victim, to whom we extend our sympathies.
“The vast majority of SFOs are committed by offenders given a community order by the court, having been convicted of less serious offences.
“In most cases, nothing in their previous offending histories has indicated that they would be capable of such serious offences.”
Harry Fletcher, assistant general secretary of Napo, the probation officers’ union, said: “The number of offenders involved in further serious crimes is less than 0.5 per cent of the total under supervision.
“Obviously we would like to get that figure as low as we can but we are dealing with people with mental health problems, drug and alcohol addictions and further offences are inevitable.”
Criminals being supervised by the Probation Service have committed more than 120 murders in two years, official figures have revealed.

2001 radio interview revisited
Just because the internet was all over Obama’s 2001 radio interview the other day doesn’t mean that the rest of the nation is even aware of it yet. Keep spreading the word! A day or two spent focusing on this is NOT enough. And sometimes it takes a day or two for some authors to work up a good essay on the subject. That’s Ok by me.
Very simply, our Constitution was written to limit the power of government. That’s the whole concept behind America: We The People have the power and the rights; government of all forms should be minimal. That’s why the Constitution writes about “negative liberties” as B. Hussein Obama put it in that interview. That’s all that should be there when talking about the powers of the government. He just doesn’t get it. Constitutional Professor, my pustulant posterior.
Laura Hollis writes a good one in today’s Town Hall. It’s worth a read, if only to help fine tune your own talking points around the water cooler.
Just as he tried to prove to everyone that his patriotism was demonstrated by the lack of symbols of the United States, so he is now arguing that his passion for the Constitution is demonstrated by his commitment to shredding it.
In a radio interview given in 2001, Obama reveals yet again about what he means by ‘equality,’ when he says, “…the Supreme Court never entered into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society.”
Bad? Sure. Because now it’s not just “spread the wealth” a little bit (antithetical as that already is to American notions of hard work and prosperity). It’s that “redistribution of wealth” is part and parcel of Obama’s vision of what is “political and economic justice” in this society.
But it is much worse. Because this Harvard-educated lawyer then announces that the United States Supreme Court when headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, was “not radical enough,” in its pursuit of civil liberties, because “it didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution.”
If this has not stopped you dead in your tracks, either you don’t understand, or you’re already dead.
Obama is engaging in dangerous demagoguery when he suggests that we the people of the United States need him – or the government he wants in place – to give us rights we don’t already have.
This deceitful view was echoed when he was introduced by Democratic Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur in Ohio earlier this week, who said that Americans “needed a Second Bill of Rights guaranteeing all Americans a job, health care, homes, an education, and a fair playing field for business and farmers.” This is no “bill of rights,” it is a bill of attainder (look it up). Those found “guilty” would be anyone wealthier, more successful, or more prosperous than any other. And the punishment? The very things Obama and the Democrats are already pushing for: high taxes, and even seizure and redistribution of all American’s private property.
I am stunned beyond belief that these blunt admissions do not give otherwise patriotic Obama supporters (and this describes the vast majority of them) serious pause.
I’m not mocking Ms. Hollis at all, just inserting a few of my own comments. Spend a few minutes reading her essay, then get back out there spreading the word.

Campaign Finance
George Will, writing in today’s Town Hall:
The Center for Responsive Politics calculates that by Election Day $2.4 billion will have been spent on presidential campaigns in the two-year election cycle that began January 2007, and another $2.9 billion will have been spent on 435 House and 35 Senate contests.
This $5.3 billion is a billion less than Americans will spend this year on potato chips.

Twas the Night Before
Continuing the very recent tradition of posting bad poetry here at BMEWS, comes another email from Carol. Ain’t she the greatest?
Dear Mr. Obama
A guest post by Carol, who sends me emails all the time. Thanks Carol.
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008
From: “Dennis”
Subject: A MUST READ… PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH
To Barack Hussein Obama,
The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008, that proved you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern,
the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.
The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008, that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with To NY Rezko than what you previously admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr.
Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.
Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008, about ‘race’ contradicted your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America. While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.
In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without ‘preparations’ at lower levels ... Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate with Sarah Palin ... While the video tape from your debate last February clearly shows that you answered ‘I would’ to the question of meeting with those leaders within 12 months without ‘any’ preconditions. While your judgement about meeting with enemies of the USA without pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.
On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated that the surge would not work. While your judgement about military strategy as a potential commander-in-chief is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on July 14.
You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal, while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediately ... Not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While your judgement about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about your previous position.
You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar ... And it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate. You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth.
In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a ‘Captain’ of a platoon in Afghanistan ‘the other day’ when in fact you had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to Afghanistan. You lied in that debate.
In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a ‘professor of Constitutional law’ when in fact you have never been a professor of Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you ‘taught a law class’ and never mentioned being a ‘professor of Constitutional law.’ You lied last spring.
You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the truth.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn ... and he was right
.... corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food. You distorted the truth.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You lied to America .
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected. While your absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.
You did not take an active role in the rescue plan. You claimed that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn ... who all helped cause the financial problems of today ... and they all made major contributions to your campaign. While your relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your
brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.
You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn. Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator ... and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America.
During your campaign, you said: ‘typical white person.’ ‘They cling to their guns and religion.’ ‘They will say that I am black.’ You played the race card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide America .
You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America , but you forgot to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax reductions. You have requested close to $1 billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 trillion per year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq ) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America.
The drain to America ‘s economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 billion per year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 billion (less than 1% of GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America.
Mr. Obama, you claimed that you ‘changed’ your mind about public financing for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org). You are lying to America.
Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and college professors in the USA. They eliminated religion from our history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for themselves ..... not America . Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America .
Oh, Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else.
Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.
1. You lied to America. You lied many times. You distorted facts. You parsed your answers like a lawyer.
2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your advertisements.
3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political gains and then lied about those associations.
4. You divide America about race and about class.
Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race baiting, and associations to John McCain: War hero. Annapolis graduate with ‘Country first.’ Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.
Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School, you learned that the end does not justify the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.
Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character. It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.
Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important than character. Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire some one for a job if that someone lied in an interview? Of course not. So why do some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty? Because some of these people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security .... and you are preying on their fears with empty promises ... and because some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and promises for ‘change’ like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you ... your style has camouflaged your dishonesty .... but many of us see you for who you really are ... and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it is necessary.
Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.
Mr. Obama, America cannot trust that you will put America first in your decisions about the future.
Mr. Obama, you are not the ‘change’ that America deserves. We cannot trust you.
Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander-in-chief.
Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race baiting, lack of operational leadership experience, and generally dishonest character. The media is diverting our attention from your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is much more important than the relationships themselves .... just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon ... Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those men lied about the events ... false witness ... perjury ... your relationships and bad judgements are bad on their own .... but your lies are even worse.
Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in America understands who you really are before election day.
Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if we deserve you.
