Biden: Someone Please Stop Him Before He Gaffes Again

Mark Levin played a hysterical clip of Joe Biden on his show this evening in which Biden claims that "jobs" is a 3-letter word.

Biden is like a crazy Uncle Louie. Befuddled and amusing, to be sure, but not ready for prime time and definitely not ready to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.


What do you want to bet that Sarah Palin knows how many letters are in the word "jobs?"

Pierello: A Stealth Candidate

Tom Pierello is running a raft of radio ads in his quest for Congress in the 5th District. However, he coyly refuses to tell listeners his party affiliation in his generic, patriotic clips.

Pierello follows through with this ruse by attacking banks. He says that he wants the banks to "work for the people and not the other way around." Then Pirello deceptively blames everyone, except the real culprits, for the financial problems to which our government is currently overreacting.

However, if you follow the facts, the real source of these problems are those who fought against the reform of Fannie Mae and Fannie Mac for the last 15+ years;
those who gave themselves huge salaries and million dollar golden parachutes while falsifying records; and those who shoved the problems under the carpet while they made out like bandits taking handouts from these organizations.

Let's see... that would be people like Barney Frank, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Franklin Raines, Barack Obama and others who make up a "Who's Who" list of corrupt Democrats. And let's not forget the Democrats who set the stage for the subprime mortgage mess and then kicked the can down the road: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Andrew Cuomo.

No wonder Tom Pierello doesn't want anyone to know that he is a Democrat.

Update
In his radio ad, Pierello blames the subprime mortgage problems on Republicans whom he claims deregulated the banking industry. This ludicrous charge is straight from the current Democrat/Obama talking points and is another conveniently manufactured liberal fallacy which Emmett Tyrrell easily dispels in the following article:



Obama: At Home in the Radical Left

Barack Obama bellows that John McCain is "erratic" but his own record shows a sharp disconnect from his rapturous rhetoric. To understand where the Marxist Obama is coming from, you need to read this article:

John McCain: Proudly Pro-Life

Tony Perkins, Family Research Council Action (FRC Action) provides a overview of one of the most important issues touched on in the 3rd debate.

'Born Alive' Brings Debate Alive

While it was hardly a keystone of the final presidential debate, the life issue did make a brief-but fiery-debut at the hands of moderator Bob Schieffer. Though Schieffer wrapped the abortion question in the broader topic of litmus tests for judges, it quickly became a defining moment of the night, drawing sharp contrasts between the candidates on the fundamental issue of life.

On Roe v. Wade, Sen. Obama defended his support for abortion-on-demand by equating the "right" to kill an unborn child with our First Amendment rights, saying that neither "should be subject to popular vote." In his response, Sen. McCain, who said he was "proudly pro-life," outlined how Obama had "align[ed] [himself] with the extreme aspect of the pro-abortion movement in America." He pointed to Obama's record in the Illinois State Senate, where, in the Judiciary Committee, he voted against a law "that would provide immediate medical attention to a child born of a failed abortion." McCain went on, "Then there was another bill... in the state of Illinois... where [Obama] voted against a ban on partial-birth abortion... [They were] clear-cut votes... in direct contradiction to the feelings and views of mainstream America."

Obama claimed that he would never vote to withhold protection from an infant. However, records from the Illinois State Senate show that he did exactly that-not once but four times. He also said that at the time a law similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act was already on the books. Also false. According to Jill Stanek, the pro-life nurse who blew the whistle on this neglect, there was no such thing as across-the-board protection for infants who survive an abortion. Instead, the law protected only those "survivors their abortionist deems fit to live."

What's more, Sen. Obama said last night that he is "completely supportive of a ban on late-term abortions, partial-birth or otherwise, as long as there's an exception for the mother's health." That statement ignores the fact that the Supreme Court has defined "health" in the abortion context to include such factors as "psychological" and "financial" well-being, that is, just about anything.

FOX: Giving up the "Fair and Balanced" thing

Sports fans should not be happy with FOX's decision to move the big game in order for Socialist Obama to tell folks how he is going to take money from those who have worked hard to become successful and pass it out like sugar candy in order to increase his base of support.

FOX Network Goes to Bat for Obama

When baseball fans tune into the possible Game 6 of this month's World Series, they'll be surprised to see Barack Obama delivering a pitch-for his candidacy. In a surprising announcement, FOX network said yesterday they would make special dispensations for the Democratic nominee, promising to postpone a potential World Series game so that more Americans will tune into Obama's half-hour ad buy. The statement says that FOX "will accommodate Senator Obama's desire to communicate with voters in this longform format." The network even went so far as to say it's "pleased... to delay the first pitch of the World Series Game 6... in order for FOX to carry [Obama's] program on October 29."

While FOX insists that other leagues have made similar concessions, the circumstances were completely different. When the NFL moved up its opening game to broadcast the official nomination of Sen. John McCain, it aired general political news-not a partisan campaign commercial. Sen. Obama's primetime special is an advertisement for his candidacy, which, like other sponsored programs, should be forced to compete with the network's regularly scheduled broadcasts. If FOX wants to play political hardball, ask them to adhere to their slogan, which is "fair and balanced." Log on to http://msn.foxsports.com/feedback and express your view today.

Obama's ACORN Perps should be behind bars

Americans for Limited Government (ALG) would like to see swift action against the ACORN folks undermining our election process.

ALG Issues Statement Regarding
FBI Investigation of ACORN

Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson today issued the following statement:

“Today the Associated Press reported that the FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN is engaging in a nationwide election fraud conspiracy. Specifically, they are reportedly examining evidence that there was a coordinated state-by-state effort to engage in voter registration fraud.

“Americans for Limited Government would like to applaud these efforts, and we believe that law enforcement officials nationally and locally need to act quickly to preserve the legitimacy and veracity of the upcoming national elections.

“If evidence of coordinated state-by-state election fraud is discovered, the principals and perpetrators at ACORN need to get their wish of public housing: federal prison.”

John McCain: A Steady Hand

Senator Bill Frist, Chairman of the Volunteer Political Action Committee (VOLPAC), solidifies the basic difference between John McCain and Barack Obama.

"To me, the choice is clear. We do not need more government involvement. We need to find ways to cut spending, eliminate pork, and balance the budget. John McCain will do that. Barack Obama will not. John McCain has the expertise and knowledge to lead our country during the uncertain times that we all know are ahead of us. His economic policy of cutting taxes and giving tax breaks to small businesses and senior citizens is the right one for our country. His expertise in foreign affairs will give our country the steady hand we need during the coming years."

Bill Frist, M.D

Jim Gilmore: Putting Virginia Taxpayers First

The esteemed Morton Blackwell endorses Jim Gilmore for Senate. Excerpt below..

Let’s Win This Election for Virginia’s Taxpayers

By Morton Blackwel

I have known Jim Gilmore since he was age 17. I know him as the kind of leader people can count on to do the right thing. And, I know him as someone who will always put the interest of Virginia’s taxpayers first.

You may know Jim Gilmore was the son of a supermarket meat cutter and his mother was a church secretary. Because of the values instilled in him by his working parents, Jim Gilmore has become a champion of Virginia’s working families.

As Attorney General, he led successful investigations of Medicaid fraud and government waste and fought for greater consumer protection. He also was a leader in a successful national effort to stop church burnings at African American churches.

As Governor of Virginia, he kept his promise to cut taxes on working families by $1.5 billion. He also created over 250,000 jobs, led Virginia into the technology age, and dramatically boosted planning and construction for Virginia transportation projects.

Jim Gilmore is a public servant who keeps his word and fights for you. Time and again, Jim Gilmore has stood his ground against those who felt the only answer to every problem was to take more money from the taxpayers. And, he does that today in his campaign for the U.S. Senate....

And one more thing: You can be sure that, in the U.S. Senate Jim Gilmore would fight against confirmation of liberal Federal judges and fight for confirmation of conservative judges.

Obama: Blind Ambition

OBAMA'S ACORN TIES RUN LONG AND DEEP...

Barack Obama trained members of the Chicago ACORN staff.

Barack Obama's campaign has paid more than $800,000 for "voter registration" to an ACORN front group.

Kindly take a few minutes to watch the ad and learn more about the relationship between Senator Barack Obama and ACORN.









ACT NOW!
After watching the video, please forward the web site address along to at least five others. It's up to us to hold Senator Obama accountable for his questionable judgment and blind ambition.

Obama will do a Bill Clinton and Gut Our Military

Without our military, we have no national security...

"With economics dominating the Presidential election, there's not much public discussion about preparing our military to meet the challenges of an increasingly dangerous world. We know Senator McCain is second to no one when keeping America strong and prepared, but Obama?

The following is a video of Obama in his own words, laying out his plans for spending on our military. Here's the challenge: of all his plans, just try to find at least one thing that would actually make our military stronger. Perhaps we can make this a contest, as it certainly isn't his plan to slow our development of future combat systems or eliminate missile defenses. Perhaps Obama's neglect of our military is why the military currently support McCain over Obama by 68% to 23%, showing that the best way to support our troops? in this election is to vote McCain-Palin."

Liberals are life bigots

In tonight's Presidential debate, Barack Obama tried to slicker his way out of his voting record which has been totally in favor of abortion, partial birth abortion, any abortion. This lie has already been exposed by numerous journalists, and is also belied by his 100% Abortion rating from the nation's most prominent abortionists. Babies are human, even if they are in the womb. They aren't aliens or another species. Shouldn't they have the same rights as other humans, including the most fundamental right, the right to life? Gary Bauer has more on babies that liberals believe do not deserve to live.

“The Last Acceptable Prejudice”

"As Americans we pride ourselves on our “tolerance” and the ideals of equal opportunity, equal justice and civil rights. Yet the month of October, as National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, provides a good opportunity to question one of our last acceptable prejudices – the “climate of disability discrimination” that is fostered by the pro-abortion mentality.

Sadly, our courts have ruled that unborn children have no rights we are bound to respect, not even their “inalienable right to life.” But when it comes to babies prenatally diagnosed with disabilities, the medical profession more often than not encourages abortion. As a result, nearly 90% of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted today.

That shocking statistic is an indictment of our tolerance for the disabled. In fact, it might well be considered evidence of prejudice and discrimination. If a company decided it need to undertake cost cutting measures and decided to fire 90% of its black or female employees, lawsuits would be filed immediately.

Senator John McCain’s selection of Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, and her decision to welcome a baby with Down syndrome into her family as a precious gift, has put a spotlight on our lack of tolerance for the disabled. In a column posted today at National Review Online, I write about the epidemic of Down syndrome abortions and note a recent rare moment of consensus on Capitol Hill on the issue of abortion.

Men and women who care deeply about the sanctity of life have a tremendous opportunity in 20 days. Just imagine the pro-life testimony the entire nation would witness with the compassion of Cindy McCain and the commitment of Sarah Palin in the White House. We can do it, my friends, if you vote on November 4th!"

Quote of the Day


Best slip of the tongue in tonight's presidential debate:

John McCain referred to Barack Obama as, "Senator Government."

He hit the nail on the head with that one.

To be even more accurate, he might have said, "Senator Big Government, Higher Taxes and Less Freedom."

Quote of the Day

"I don't think there's any doubt that Senator Obama wants to restrict trade and raise taxes."

John McCain: A Man of Action

A BOLD PLAN OF ACTION TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY IN A NEW DIRECTION NOW

John McCain has a bold plan to take our country in a new direction by getting our economy back on track, creating jobs, keeping people in their homes, helping those near retirement, curbing spending, lowering health care costs and achieving energy independence.

John McCain has a plan to ensure we take care of the people who have been devastated by the excesses of Wall Street and Washington. He will not spend taxpayer money on just bailing out Wall Street.

John McCain has a plan to protect home values and get them rising again by buying up bad mortgages and refinancing them. Everyone is being impacted by declining home values.

John McCain has a plan to let retirees and people nearing retirement keep their money in their retirement accounts so they can rebuild their savings.

John McCain has a plan to cut takes so we can be more competitive and create jobs here at home. Raising taxes makes a bad economy worse. Keeping taxes low creates jobs and strengthens our economy.

John McCain has a plan to make government live on a budget by freezing all government spending save for defense, veterans care, Social Security and health care. He will scrub every single government program to eliminate those that don't work, and he will veto every single pork-barrel bill.

We can't afford Barack Obama's nearly trillion dollars in spending which will mean higher taxes or more debt.

John McCain has a plan to bring down the skyrocketing health care costs and make it more available for more Americans. John McCain will provide every single American family with a $5,000 refundable tax credit to help them purchase health insurance. Workers who already have health insurance from their employers will keep it and have more money to cover costs. Workers who don't have insurance can use it to find a policy anywhere in the country.

We can't afford Barack Obama's health care plan that will fine small businesses and families with children to force them into a new huge government-run health care program.

John McCain has a plan to help small businesses by keeping taxes low so they can create more jobs.

America's small businesses can't afford Barack Obama's tax increases which will force them to cut jobs.

John McCain has a plan to open new markets to American goods and make sure our trade is free and fair.

We can't afford Barack Obama's plans to make it harder to sell our goods overseas and kill more jobs.

John McCain has an "all of the above" energy plan to achieve strategic energy independence, lower energy costs and create millions of new jobs.

Americans can't afford Barack Obama's opposition to more drilling and building new nuclear power plants.


One way or another, Obama will cost you money


In tonight's debate, Obama said he wants to raise taxes on corporations like Exxon Mobil even though corporate taxes in this country are among the highest in the world and already place American companies at a competitive disadvantage.

Shareholders will also pay the price when taxes are raised on companies in which they have stocks, with lower capital gains and dividends.

Then consumers will pay, as taxes are passed on down the line in the form of higher prices.

All this to "spread the wealth around" says Sen. Obama.

Wouldn't taxpayers rather keep their "wealth" instead of give it to the government, which plans to indulge in noblis oblige with it? Americans are the most generous people in the world but forced giving with over taxation is unlikely to create wealth for anyone.

Sounds more like killing the goose who lays the golden egg, but that's Socialism for you.
