EXCERPT: History is our teacher. The Roman Empire lasted long enough and is well enough documented and studied to give us fair warning. While there are other empires, such as the British, that suggest the same conclusions, the Roman Empire is the greatest study among these.
The question: Is the handwriting on the wall of the coliseum indelible, or can we scrub it off and write a new lesson, a lesson of history and hope for our future generations?
Andrew Lahde, manager of a small California...

EXCERPT: So Sen. John McCain made the centerpiece of his presidential campaign Joe the Plumber. I'm not sure how many central themes this is, 5 or 6, but anyhoo, problems began to scurry out immediately. McCain's meme was that regular guys like Joe would get hit with higher taxes, and not work as hard.
Joe owes back taxes, which means whatever Joe is charged, he ain't paying anyhow.
Joe isn't a licensed Plumber.
Joe makes less than $250,000 meaning he'll get a tax break under Obama's plan.
The...

EXCERPT: According to the NYT:
An energized McCain, rallying supporters in Downingtown, Pa., reiterated his debate themes: He is independent of President Bush, he said, and Obama is a big-spending liberal who would harm small businesses.
"We can't spend the next four years as we've spent much of the last eight, waiting for our luck to change," McCain said. "As I mentioned last night to Sen. Obama, I'm not George Bush, and if he wanted to run against George Bush, he should have run four years...

EXCERPT: This started as a comment to my article Tuppence - READ THIS.  There, I challenged My 2 Cents and Postman to describe the process by which a fraudulent voter registration could be parlayed into a fraudulent vote.  Their lame responses led to the comment below.
Because this is about to break as front page news, it's time to leave that dialogue with the low-info GOPhers and start afresh.
My 2 Cents & Postman -   Your silence is most...

EXCERPT: The results are in, and Obama mopped the floor with McCain.     McCain did better this time around than he did in the second debate.  But, in his effort to be aggressive he was simply Old Man Shouting at Clouds!!    GoBama and Biden!  On to the White...

EXCERPT: OK. So I watched the debate tonight and all I can say is yawn. McCain did just OK. But Obama did just OK too. I really didn't see anything in either one to say yes about.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to vote for Obama no matter what happens. He doesn't appeal to me in the least probably because I think. I don't make $250,000.00 a year yet. Close, but not quite. But I still fear Obama's tax raising plans, his idea of having our government more...

EXCERPT: I have been doing a little research of late on how things went in the 10-15 years after the crash of 1929. I knew people made money from Nov. 13th forward but I had no idea how much money they made.
I knew the Roosevelt's did well and the Rockefellers and a few other families including the Kennedy's. But my question was how? Well first of all they did not run to the hills with food and water waiting for the end to come. They jumped in with both feet. (I should clarify that I...

EXCERPT: The Bradley Effect...
I listened a bit to Randi Rhoads while I was driving to yet another important meeting in Los Angeles this week and heard her rail against the Bradley effect. For those of you less familiar with the concept here is the Reader's digest version of Wikipedia's definition of it... "
The Bradley effect, less commonly called the Wilder effect,[1] is a proposed explanation for a discrepancy between voter opinion polls and election outcomes in American...

EXCERPT: After both political conventions, when American voters had a chance to see both candidates with out the extremely left-wing biased media filter that is designed to degrade and denigrate republicans and display overwhelming pro-democrat favortism, McCain/Palin were leading by a margin of 3 to 6 points in all the national polls and were pulling away with sizable leads in all the battleground states. All of the sudden the so-called financial meltdown hit and while Senator McCain put...

EXCERPT: Sure, anything can happen during the three weeks preceding an election - but don’t bet the farm that tonight’s debate will even begin to reverse John McCain’s plunge toward political oblivion! Can you think of anything that would restore voter confidence in John’s judgment? In a time of war and unprecedented economic screw-ups, McCain and Palin continue to unapologetically stoke hatred and prejudice among their low-info supporters instead of appealing to...
