Christian Voter's Guide

I have said many times that this is probably the most important presidential election of all time. Please take a minute to take a look at the Christian Voter's guide link below to see where the candidates stand on issues important to Christians. Christians must vote for candidates that uphold God's standards and principles. We must not only pray for godly leaders, it is our responsibility to vote for godly leaders.

Where will it end?

What happened to working to earn a living? The Bible says For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. It is unfortunate that many in this country are what I call the "give me" crowd. I was listening to Sean Hannity on the radio yesterday and he had what he calls the "Man on the street Thursday." It's where they stop people on the streets of NY and interview them asking some very simple questions. Usually, I laugh at some of the interviewees because some of their answers are so comical. But yesterday, it was so bad it was depressing. For example, Sean asked one gentleman if he knew who was running for president and the man correctly answered who was running for president and who their respective running mates were (which many times, the people they stop don't even know who the current vice president is). Then, Sean asked him if he knew who he was voting for, and of course, the man responded with OBAMA. Sean then asked the man a series of questions to which he answered yes to all, and it was very sad. Most of the questions were about the government taking care of you. For example:

Do you think the government should provide health care for everyone? Do you think the government should take from the rich and give to the poor? Should the government give you a house if you can't afford one? Should the government provide you with a car so that you can get around? Should the government provide day care for your children? There were actually 2 "man on the street" men yesterday on Sean's show that answered yes to all of these questions. How sad. This is truly welfare on steriods!

I can't believe that people just think that the government should give them everything. Where do they think the money will come from for all these "programs"? Who is going to pay for this? Do they really want the government to be in charge of their health care? Do they want the government choosing their doctor and their care. Do you want the government in charge of taking care of your children? This is the same government that has bankrupted social security and has ruined the school system.

What ever happened to working to take care of your own family? I have worked for years and have paid dearly for health care so that I have the right to choose my doctor and choose my care - I don't want the government doing this for me. I don't want the Barack Obamas and Nancy Pelosis in this world deciding on my health care or any other part of my life. I especially don't want them in charge of my checkbook (which they seem bound and determined to do).

The liberal democrats have freely admitted that they want to raise your taxes. John McCain believes we must keep taxes low and to reward hard work. He believes that the government's wasteful spending should be eliminated. He believes that raising taxes is never a good idea. I believe as John McCain does - that's why I will be voting for him on November 4.

I have worked all my life for the little bit I have (and wouldn't have it any other way) - I just want everyone else to do the same.

Who Said This??

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

I bet you thought it was Barack Obama who said this, didn't you? It sounds like his platform - he wants to take from the rich and give to the poor. Well.....the above quote is from Karl Marx. Surprised? Well, you shouldn't be.

If Barack Obama and the liberal democrats in our "do nothing" Congress have their say, they will have a trillion dollars in new spending (translation....waste). They will give YOUR hard earned money to those who don't even pay taxes. Their definition of "rich" is changing by the day. First Obama said...those making over $300,000 a year; then it was $250,000, then $200,000. The last I heard was Joe Biden saying $150,000. Where will it end?

Obama has voted twice to increase the taxes on those making over $42,000 a year. So, you see, no one is safe. Don't you just love it when people like Obama want to decide who "deserves" YOUR money? This from a man who is a millionaire whose grandmother still lives in the same small apartment he was born in and an aunt who lives in a slum in Boston. As a friend of mine said, he certainly doesn't believe in sharing HIS wealth with his own family does he?

So, back to the original quote at the beginning of this post: "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." Sound familiar? May God have mercy on this country during the upcoming election.

Telling the truth about Obama

I am not normally one who tries to get people to donate money to political organizations; however, in this time where the most important election in history is just days away, I feel compelled to do so. Barack Obama is a very radical liberal with many questionable affiliations. The McCain camp is not capitalizing on Obama's alliances with people like Jeremiah Wright. To be very blunt about it, I think McCain is being a little too nice about it. The American people need to know about what they are in for in the next 4 years if (God forbid) this man Obama is elected President.

Take a look at the following link to see the ads sponsored by the National Republican Trust. I learned about this organization on Fox News from Dick Morris (former political advisor for the Clintons who saw the light of day and is now fully supportive of McCain). After seeing the ads on this site, if you feel so inclined to donate to this organization, I personally feel it is money well spent - every little bit helps.

Are you joking Joe?

It seems that Joe Biden and the Obama camp are not used to taking the tough questions. This is a whole new experience for them. They are so accustomed to having the mainstream media in their back pocket that it was totally horrifying to them when Florida's WFTV-Channel 9 anchorwoman Barbara West asked some tough questions.

When Barbara asked Biden about Obama's "spread the wealth" comments, and when she compared Obama's comments to socialist Karl Marx, Biden's response was "Are you joking? Is this a joke? Is this a real question?”. YES JOE, it is a real question, and NO JOE, this is not a joke As a matter of fact, it is very serious because if Obama is elected, a free America as we know it will be history.

But Barbara didn't stop.....she then asked Biden about his recent comment that Obama could be tested early on as president. She asked if the senator was saying America’s days as the world’s leading power were over. Biden's response.....“I don’t know who’s writing your questions." Well...guess what Joey, lots of people would like to know the answer to these questions, including me. You and Obama want to become the next leaders of this great nation and you should be able to answer these questions and be held accountable for your socialist agenda.

So, what was the Obama camp's response to the interview? They cancelled Biden's wife, Jill's, appearance on the station and responded with this:

“This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,” wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign. McGinnis said the Jill Biden cancellation was “a result of her husband’s experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West.”

“Mr. Biden didn't like the questions,” said WFTV news director Bob Jordan. “We choose not to ask softball questions.”

So, I guess the only ones that are supposed to get the tough questions are the McCain camp? I'm sure the mainstream media will not report on this, but it just fascinates me that when someone questions the democratic candidate's actions, they respond with such indignation. Could it be that they are afraid if the word gets out, they may lose this election? One could only hope.

Trick or Treat!

Joe Biden - a heartbeat away from the presidency??

I live in Delaware and have suffered the plague of Joe Biden for many, many years. Since he is the so-called US Senator in Delaware, I have called and e-mailed his office multiple times over the years expressing my opinions about various issues. SHOCKER - he never agreed with me! And guess what......he still doesn't! He has been such an embarrassment to the State of Delaware (and I might add...to the US Senate) over the years, it boggles my mind that he was re-elected so many times (without my vote, of course). I periodically look at the "Biden Gaffe Meter" they have posted on the RNC.ORG (Republican National Committee) and I can remember so many times he said such dumb things. One of my personal favorites was the time he was making comments about people from India, and I quote “In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.” And now......this is a man a heartbeat away from the presidency if (God forbid) Barack Obama is elected? And they have the gall to make jokes about Sarah Palin? What a bright, gracious and eloquent lady. That's another whole post to speak about her and her experience compared to Barack Obama - or should I say the LACK of experience of Barack Obama.

The other amazing thing about Biden is that it wasn't so long ago, he said that "the Presidency is no place for on-the-job training." Guess who he was talking about? You got it.....Barack Obama. Another one of Biden's "shining moments" was when he said that Barack Obama was the "first bright and clean" African American running for president. What??? Well....that's our Joey.

Biden is also the one who said it would be the "patriotic thing" to do to pay more taxes - SINCE WHEN? Why would I want the government to waste even MORE of my money. They certainly haven't done very well so far, have they!

Well, enough of Joe Biden - it would take too many pages. I have jokingly said before that the only thing that I can think of that would be a good thing if Barack Obama was elected (God forbid), would be that Delaware would finally be rid of Joe Biden...but guess what? He's grooming his son, Beau - he's the "inexperienced" Attorney General in Delaware who won the election for that office with virtually no experience against a candidate with a wealth of experience - it was such a no-brainer. But.....Delaware voters just can't seem to get it right. I was shocked when he won (I shouldn't have been surprised). So, Delaware is sunk no matter what...but hopefully, the entire nation won't have to deal with the Joe Biden plague for the next 4 years. He absolutely pales in comparison to Sarah Palin.

May God bless this nation with a president and vice president who hold to His principles (and that would be McCain/Palin and NOT Obama/Biden).

What I Believe....by Carol

My friend Carol sent me a wonderful document on what she believes and although I would love to take the credit for it, I will give her the credit but will also say that I agree with her 100%.
___________________________________________________________________

When people ask me why I say I could never vote for Barack Obama I tell them it’s because he is the antithesis of what I believe. If you wonder what that is, here is a start….

1. I believe that I made my money without the government’s help and I can spend it without its help. I don’t need Obama to spread my “wealth” around!
2. I believe in capitalism and free enterprise. The government has never run a successful program.
3. I believe there is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that provides a right to stop the beating heart of an unborn child.
4. I believe the environment is precious and should be protected by all practical means but not at the expense of protecting the citizens of the US.
5. I believe the UN is corrupt, ineffective and dangerous to US sovereignty and we should get out of it. Obama would have us paying a global tax to it.
6. I believe in personal responsibility and the guarantee of equal opportunity – not equal results. I believe it is not the job of the government to provide housing, healthcare and college educations or to restore people’s housing when an act of God destroys it.
7. I believe federal judges are supposed to be interpreting the law, not legislating from the bench. This country has been wounded severely by liberal judges and Obama will only give us more.
8. I believe we the people should have the power, not the government.
9. I believe in the 2nd amendment and that the government has no business in disarming its law-abiding citizens.

Who has Barack Obama refused to meet with?

Sorry....I just couldn't resist posting this. It's a real eye opener - and very true!

Is Obama a Fraud?

In order to be elected as President of the United States, the candidate must be a Natural Born United States Citizen. Was Obama born in the US? Did he lie about it? There is a suit against him and the Democratic National Committee now claiming he is not a natural born citizen and therefore not a valid candidate. See the video for yourself and see what you think.

Share the wealth?

Obama freely admits he is going to raise taxes on those who make more the $250,000 a year and "give" their money to those less fortunate. Personally, I don't fit into the "wealthy" category, but that isn't the point. Since when does the government get to decide who gets my money? Why does Obama get to decide to "share the wealth" with those of his choosing? What's to say he won't change his mind about who is wealthy? What if he (or his liberal Democrat cronies) decide that people who make $150,000 a year are wealthy.....or $100,000? What is going to stop them? Who will they give the money to? I don't know about the rest of you, but I work very, very hard for what I earn (and am happy to do so). This nation is turning into a "give me" nation. They want the government to take care of their health care (although, why they would trust the government who has messed up social security, the school system and everything else they get their hands on, I don't understand). They want the government to pay for their child care - again, why?? We are NOT a Socialist Government.....well.......at least not yet. Never has their been an election as important as this one. Wake up people - pay attention. A vote for Obama is a vote for a huge step toward a Socialist government. Don't let it happen - get out and vote for McCain/Palin on November 4.

Reasons I won't vote for Barack Obama

Here are just a few of the reasons why I would never vote for Barack Obama:

1. He voted for partial birth abortion.
2. He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
3. His religious convictions are very murky. His 20 year affiliation with the church where radical Reverend Jeremiah Wright was the pastor is especially telling.
4. The company he keeps is very questionable. Prime example is his association with known terrorist, William Ayers. Here’s a guy that was a member of the radical group Weather Underground who launched a campaign of bombings against our Pentagon and US Capitol. How scary is that!
5. Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government (quotas).
6. In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing as being too severe.
7. Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as minimum wage affair.
8. Admitted his use of marijuana and cocaine in high school and in college.
9. He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with no conditions
10. Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim nations. Why?
11. Opposed the Patriot Act.
12. First bill he signed that was ever passed was campaign finance reform.
13. Voted to allow law suits against gun manufacturers.
14. Supports universal health-care.
15. Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.
16. Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
17. Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.
18. Voted yes on comprehensive immigration reform..
19. Wants to disarm our country (see prior post)
20. Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.
21. Wants to make the minimum wage a 'living wage'.
22. Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes. (241 votes Demo, 10 votes Republican)
23. Is a big believer in the separation of church and state. Translation - no Godly principles.
24. Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid into Soc. Sec. Tax Increase.
25. He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax which now hits middle income brackets. Tax Increase.
26. He voted No on repealing the 'Death' Tax. Tax Increase.
27. He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax. Tax Increase.
28. Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded...which is not true. Finally, he has admitted that it was a success (grudgingly)
29. He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.

Why in the world would I want him to be the leader of this nation! God have mercy on us.

Why doesn't Obama want America to be able to defend itself?

There are certainly many, many topics on which I disagree with Barrack Obama. But, there is one thing that is extremely frightening to me, especially post 9/11. Barrack Obama basically wants to disarm our nation....question is not only why...but also, for whom?? If you don't believe that he wants the United States of America to be defenseless, listen to the video in the link below - in his own words, out of his own mouth. Very frightening! It's only 51 seconds - take a listen!
