I know I haven’t really tackled this issue on its own and I have only addressed it generally when discussing Obama’s other plans, but today I am going to address this issue as its own subject on Simple Man Politics. The reason being that it is about to go to the senate and ultimately get voted on very soon, and that's healthcare.
I will tell you that most of the people I know are very much against this idea. However there are a couple of people whose opinions I highly value who have so far said nothing to me about it and they are medical professionals as well. Since one of these individuals is also an Obama supporter I am very curious about that opinion in particular.
Healthcare was a topic that was touched upon by both John McCain and Barack Obama during their campaigns to get into the White House. John McCain had the idea of taxing people’s health benefits as part of his healthcare plan. Barack Obama said that healthcare was an important issue for him, but gave no indications to how he would deal with it.
Of course now President Obama has presented his version of a healthcare plan to both houses of congress for approval and passage. Just like all of his other programs, it requires enlarging government and trillions of American tax payer dollars. It also appears to have been built on a model similar to that of our Canadian brother’s healthcare plan.
Considering the fact that the Canadian healthcare system has proven to be an abject failure I find it hard to believe that our government will go in that direction. The horror stories that have come out of Canada about long waits, lack of treatment, lack of healthcare professionals, and bureaucratic red tape I cringe at the prospect.
As usual the White House and congress are looking at how they are going to pay for this cumbersome and unwieldy monstrosity they call their healthcare plan, and have decided to once again tax the wealthy to pay for it. The reason being is that the wealthy can afford it and should pay for everyone who doesn’t have insurance rather they can afford it or not.
There are also congress persons who believe that you should be forced to either pay for your own healthcare plan or take the nationalized plan and if you don’t then be fined and they want a provision that forces all hospitals to perform abortions. Obama himself wants total control over how much Medicare will reimburse hospitals and healthcare providers.
Organizations including the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) and the GAO (Governmental Accounting Office) have said that there will be no financial relief for the American tax payer in this plan just more of an already unrecoverable tax burden. They also state that this will drive many healthcare providers into bankruptcy.
Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports a pollster is the latest in his profession to come out with the latest polling data and a new poll that shows that the vast majority of Americans are against the Obama plan. Data has also been introduced that shows Obama and Democratic Party approval ratings continue to slide with this issue.
Here are a couple more interesting tidbits of information for you all. Apparently when it is all said and done only about 10% of uninsured Americans will wind up with healthcare. Oh yeah and 12 million illegal immigrants will get healthcare too and we will have to pay for them also.
I don’t know what you all have done about this yourselves, but I have emailed both of my Senators and all of Arizona’s congresspersons telling them to vote no for this bill or I will vote no for them in their next elections. I do agree that healthcare is an important issue, but I do not agree that this particular plan will address and solve the problem.
That is all we have for you today here at Simple Man Politics, but we will be back again soon with more of what is important in the world of politics. Have a marvelous day my friends and CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Welcome to Simple Man Politics my friends today we are going to discuss a topic I have been eyeing for some time, but haven’t had the chance or information to adequately address until now. Today’s topic is Obama’s Defense Budget. This has been a subject that has worried me for some time but there is no avoiding it now. The reason I am talking about it now is because it will go to congress soon.
It is no secret that Obama has been planning to cut a lot of funding from The Department of Defense especially since he made that promise during his campaign more than once. However he is facing some opposition and criticism regarding some of his proposed budget cuts even from within his own party too. However a lot of this opposition is due to job loss that will occur as a result.
For example one of President Obama’s proposed defense spending cuts involves the F-22 Fighter Program. This is a very expensive but important weapon in our national arsenal and one that most feel is necessary for the US to maintain our air superiority in the first part of the 21st century. The F-22 program will also be a stable economic platform for the nation as well considering our current economic, financial, and employment crisis’s we face at this time.
However Barack Obama is so adamant about cutting this program that he has even threatened to veto his own defense budget bill if the program is not cut. You almost have to wonder what kind of logic this very inexperienced chief executive of the nation is applying to his decisions on defense spending. The F-22 program is not the only potential cut, missile defense is another one. There are other important programs besides these two that are facing the knife as well.
Now that I have had the time to sit back and look at our Presidents plans in all areas for this nation, I can only assume that these decisions proves not only his lack of experience in national security, but his lack of intelligence and real life experiences as well. Unfortunately we are now obliged to live with these potentially fatal mistakes that Obama calls the right choices for us all. I am not just talking about national defense now; I am talking about his mistakes in the financial, economical, employment, healthcare, and climate arenas too.
That is all for now but I will be back with more real soon and I am sure of that. I hope you all have a fantastic night and a great day tomorrow CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Well here I am and as I promised todays topic is going to be somewhat more serious than the last two subjects we discussed right here. That does not mean that I thought Memorial Day and racism are not important because they are. However I have to put them in their order of their importance especially with regard to todays topic, which is the immediate national security challenges that our President has facing him.
The two most important national security challenges that are currently on Obamas plate are North Korea and Iran. These two countries are a danger to our national security for a couple of reasons. The first and foremost dangerous of these two to our security is North Korea although Iran is running a very close second on our national security radar.
North Koreas immediate threat to us is the fact that this country and its despotic dictator are a nuclear power with the weapons and the technology to create more. Fortunately for us they lack an efficient delivery system with which to attack the continental United States.
However they continue to try to develop a successful ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) that will reach our west coast or even Hawaii. They even tested another Taepodong missile this past weekend along with another underground nuclear test as well, once again proving that they have no interest in ending their nuclear weapons program.
On the other hand Iran presents a danger to our national security for other reasons as well as its attempts at nuclear proliferation. Fortunately for us Iran is not at this time an immediate nuclear threat but they are not that far away from acquiring nukes according to the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and other intelligence sources both within Iran as well as in the region.
The threat that Iran offers to our national security at this time is the destabilization of the Middle East particularly in Iraq. Iran also poses a potential threat to us as well with its constant threats against Israel’s existence. Over the weekend Iran also placed six warships in the Gulf of Aden, which is within striking distance of the Straits of Hormuz where the bulk of Middle East oil is transported.
Also Iran’s denial of the holocaust and support of terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas who continue to attack Israel’s civilian population with absolutely no regard for innocent casualties, which continues to keep tensions in the region high and Israels alert status at its highest. All this does is increase the likelihood that Israel will react preemptively against Iran if they perceive a real threat.
What is even more threatening to the nation security of the United States is the fact that both North Korea and Iran are working hand in hand. Intelligence reports from within North Korea as well as around the region place Iranian officials inside the DPRK (North Korea) at the launch site of their latest missile test. The same intelligence also indicates that North Korea supplies Iran with uranium as well.
When you sum this all up Barack Obama has more than enough to worry about. Not only are these activities a direct challenge to test Obamas toughness and resolve by both of these rogue nations, but a sure sign of these countries willingness to pursue weapons of mass destruction programs with the goal of destroying their perceived enemies as well holding the civilized world hostage with nukes.
Now I will be the first to tell you that all of this makes itself into one hell of a dicey situation and I don’t pretend to know how to handle this diplomatically. I will tell you this though if I were President of the United States and one of these two countries even remotely appeared to be preparing to attack either us, or allies, or any peaceful nation they could reach I would turn the surface of their nations into a nuclear winter wonderland.
That’s it for today my friends but I will see you all again tomorrow. Have a wonderful day and CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Well as we all know President Obama is a consummate politician and he proved that again on Memorial Day. I must tell you that I actually applaud his effort at dodging the race card and doing so effectively.
We all know that as President it is his duty to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. However, very few people know about the ceremonies at both the African American Civil War Memorial, and the Confederate Civil War Memorial.
Apparently there was a petition from a group of about 60 professors asking the White House and our first black President to break with tradition and to not memorialize military members of the Confederacy because the Southern states supported slavery. This group also stated that the Arlington Confederate Memorial is a denial of the wrong committed against African Americans.
In true politician style fashion our first black President Barack Hussein Obama not only laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, but he also sent representatives to both the African American Civil War Memorial and the Confederate Civil War Memorial with wreaths for them both.
While sending a wreath to the Confederate Memorial is a traditional practice though not well publicized it is an unprecedented step by the President to send a wreath to the African American Memorial in Washington D.C.’s historically black U Street neighborhood.
I must tell you that I personally feel that any American who died in a war representing people of this nation including the War Between the States deserves to be honored on Memorial Day both white and black, Yankee, or Johnny Reb. For the record not only did whites fight for the Confederacy but blacks did so as well and they should be honored also.
That is all I have to talk about today, but tomorrow we will be discussing the national security challenges that Barack Obama is facing especially in light of both North Korea and Irans actions on Memorial Day. I hope you all have a terrific day CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Welcome back to Simple Man Politics for yet another hump day post. The man of the hour today who may be bestowed his hump honor eventually but not today is the RNC (Republican National Committee) Chairman Michael Steele. I have been considering doing a piece on this man for some time but other topics have taken precedence till now.
Former Lt Governor of Maryland Michael Steele (R-MD) now chairs the RNC and has the almost impossible and unenviable task of reviving and rejuvenating the Republican Party. He must not only ensure greater success of the party’s wins in at least the next two election cycles, but he must get his party’s base expanded, energized, and actively into the fight to regain GOP dominance in D.C. as well.
To say the least Mr. Steele faces some opposition to these goals and not just from the Democratic Party. He faces critics and opposition from within his own party also. Since his appointment to the RNC Chairmanship he has been blasted by Rush Limbaugh, and had ideological differences with former VP Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich just to name a couple of his detractors.
In addition to these troubles he has had trouble with the RNC board who have attempted to place limitations or regulations on what he can and can’t do as Chairman including funding, which has caused him to say at one point that if they want a figurehead as the Chairman they picked the wrong man. As if all of this isn’t enough for the man to deal with he is now taking heat from within the RNC for hiring friends, which every Chairman before him has done.
Michael Steele also laid out his game plan Tuesday 05/19/09 for bringing back the GOP strong. He says that regardless of Barack Obamas immense popularity with the public that the Republican Party will attack the President and his policies head on. He says that even with a revamped Republican Party there will still be clear differences between Democrats and Republicans politically and ideologically.
He cites this stance as a comeback of the two party system and said that the GOP has turned the corner predicting a Republican resurgence and that the comeback has begun and it is not in Washington. He also stated that this comeback is underway with the rebirth of the American dream and the change came to the party in a teabag referring to the Tea Parties of last month. All of this however seems to fly in the face of the fact that less people now identify themselves as Republicans when compared to the 2000 through 2004 election cycles.
I personally hope that Michael Steele is successful in his endeavor to reconstitute the Republican Party, but until a consensus is reached within the leadership of the Grand Old Party and the figure out how to present a new streamlined fresh image of the party to the base and potential members this is all just rhetoric. Unfortunately this may also be how Steele gets humped and by no one and nothing else but his own party the GOP. I do wish him all the luck in the world and I hope he is careful about bending over to pick anything up right now.
That is all I have to write about for now, but I am sure I will come up with something very interesting for all of you to read tomorrow. I also hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and I will be back again tomorrow CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Welcome to the Tuesday edition of Simple Man Politics. I think from now on I am going to make Tuesday “Tim’s Targets Tuesdays”. I think I need to do this at least once a week because I can always find some political idiot out there who will qualify for the title. It just so happens that I happen to have a particular target picked out for todays post to and todays target is none other than our un-esteemed Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
This thing that is loosely referred to as a lady was a thorn in the side of former President George W, Bush and now serves at the behest and probable displeasure of our current Commander in Grief Barack Obama. Even though I am sure he likes the fact that this witch supports all of his wacko socialist policies and programs he probably can’t stand her and her trouble making ways. My god the only differences between Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden are anatomy and the fact that Joe actually believes what he says.
Now in addition to her ramming her poison agenda down the throats of the American tax payers she has also managed to put her hoofs in her horses’ mouth. You may ask well how did this happen and I will tell you. Quite simply she lied and not once or twice but over and over and over again about what she knew about enhanced interrogation techniques. Not only that but she blamed anyone she could think of that she thought wouldn’t defend themselves, while never once taking responsibility for what she really did know.
After the original memos on these techniques were released by the White House she attacked the CIA for not only knowing about and using the techniques but for not informing her they were used as well and the CIA proved that wrong. Then she said she had been briefed once that they might be used, but not that they were in use. The CIA promptly released memos showing she was at the briefings that were given on the usage of the techniques and the results and was rebuffed by the current Director of CIA Leon Panetta.
As a result of all of this she then said she blamed the Bush administration and its lawyers not CIA for any deception and got a face full of former Vice President Dick Cheney for that statement. In addition to having had to endure being rebuffed by Leon Panetta and Dick Cheney she has since been proven a liar by others who were in the same meetings with her. What she should have done was apologize and keep her B.S. dispenser shut but she just seems to like being knee deep in her own cesspool of controversy.
I really hope for the sake of the American people both in her district in California and nationally that she is so discredited and humiliated that she loses the Speakership of the House of Representatives and ultimately her congressional seat in 2010. Unfortunately for the American people shit really does float to the top and this piece has too much buoyancy.
That is all of my rant for today and I hope I got it all off of my chest for now with her. However I am sure she will do something else very soon to deserve my ire again. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday my friends CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Hello my friends and welcome to the Hump Day post for Simple Man Politics and since it is Hump Day today we are going to talk about public figures who get humped over political comments they have made or for being politicians themselves. Unfortunately this will happen to someone when they enter the court of public opinion and make a comment that is either not popular or hotly contested.
Usually the ignominious honor of getting humped publicly is reserved for politicians who in my view are substandard intellectually and ideologically and usually deserve it anyway. However on occasion other public figures have been bestowed with this honor as well. Unfortunately when one enters the public political arena of ideas with their own opinion they can usually expect a smack down particularly if their argument or idea is not very well thought out or lacks an intelligent theory.
As far as that goes well I have some bad news for all of you thinking about attempting this often ill-fated and demoralizing venture of public political discourse and that is that once you do this you are not only fair game for honest, intelligent, and motivated political journalists like myself, but you are also open to attacks from every on the fringe kook, idiot, and loon in the media or with a public forum with an ax to grind whose point of view opposes yours.
These media rapes happen everyday and they are everywhere all you have to do is turn on the cable news channels, talk radio, or the internet and it is all right there. Currently today I have seen the supposed Limbaugh/Sykes feud discussed yet again for the hundredth time, and the same with the supposed Cheney/Limbaugh/Powell feud also. Other people who have recently been savaged in the press are Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Barack Obama. However these are political figures that are used to being in this type of shark infested territory and in my opinion have deserved it.
Of course political innocents are often sacrificed at the altars of the public humping gods on a regular basis as well as some not so innocent political activists. One of the new innocents that the kooks attempted to ravage publicly is the new Miss California Carrie Prejean. Apparently her traditional view on marriage was not very popular with some numbnuts by the name of Perez Hilton so he personally attacked her in his blog and then he and some of his rainbow butt buddies attacked her using news media outlets.
Fortunately for Miss Prejean Donald Trump who owns the Miss USA Pageant makes his own decisions and kept her in her position as Miss California. Donald Trump even went so far as to say that the views on marriage that Miss Prejean espoused were the very same views expressed by our current President. I guess if these views are good enough for our Commander in Grief then they are good enough for the Donald as well.
Another figure who continues to enter the arena of public opinion and usually deserves the media humping she eventually receives is none other than the dog faced Janine Garofalo with her DOCTORATE in DUMBASS. Her latest personal revelation is that everyone who either opposed Obama in the national election or who opposes Obamas policies are obviously all racists. Now while I will concede that at some point race did enter into the picture particularly since Obama was the first person to bring up race during his 04 election campaign it is patently absurd to say that all who oppose him are racists.
Now I will admit that I will often use this blog as well as other forums that I read and write in to attack public figures and politicians in particular and more often than not they appear to be more and more on the left politically. However I do not nor will I ever attack anyone on either the left or the right that does not step into the middle of the political arena and throw down the gauntlet.
I will also tell you that I myself have also been attacked for my views, beliefs, and truths that I have expressed here and elsewhere. When I have been right I have fought back even harder and dirtier than when the fight started and when I have been wrong I have apologized and have eaten crow. Fortunately I am seldom if ever wrong, but there is one thing I know going in and that is that I have thrown my hat into this political coliseum and had my say and they have the right to challenge me.
The best advice that I can give anyone who is considering doing this type of writing and reporting is to think about what I have said here today. But if you consider all of these things I have said and still decide to go ahead with getting into the middle of the political arena and throwing down the challenge then expect me and others like me to take up the standard and go right after you if I or we believe that you are on the wrong side.
I hope you all have a wonderful Hump Day and I will be back again tomorrow CIAO4NOW!!!!!
You all want to talk about a lousy deal for the American people well I got one for ya right now and both of these rotten ideas are coming courtesy of our “Commander in Grief” Barack Hussein Obama. Part one of the deal is accept the terrorists from Gitmo into your states and part two is accept the release of all criminal illegal aliens back into your communities.
I have to tell you frankly that this deal SUCKS for the American people. It is bad for us because not only are we going to import 241 of the most dangerous animals who have declared war on our nation, but we are going to put thousands more dangerous criminals back on the streets and into our neighborhoods where they can terrorize American citizens.
It is apparently not going to be so easy for Barack Obama to bring the terrorists here to the US though. It seems that most states and their residents are not to thrilled about the possibility of them coming to their states and are taking steps legally through state constitutional amendments and law making to deny them entry into their states should Obama attempt to place these vermin where they are not wanted.
It is also apparent that most states that have to deal with criminal illegal aliens on a major basis are not going to stop arresting criminal illegal’s when they commit crimes. It will be harder on them to hold them in jail or prison financially, but it appears that the arrests and convictions won’t stop for now even if Obama does cut of the aid for imprisoning criminal illegal aliens, which is what he is proposing to do.
Like everything else that Obama wants to do he is attempting to make himself popular with the world and in the court of world opinion. The reason for this is that he believes like any good socialist that he is smarter than everyone else and that he alone knows what is best for all Americans and that is to please the rest of the world. It doesn’t matter that they need us more than we need them, Barack is a good global socialist and that is the way he wants it.
Remember this my friends we need to fight these policies and the way we do that is to tell those we elected to represent us that they either oppose these idiotic policies or they will be out of a job when their next election comes around. Remember folks they and our government work for us the American tax payer and not the other way around. Unfortunately for us until they are taught this lesson harshly they will not believe we have the intestinal fortitude to carry out the threat of them losing their jobs.
That is all I have to say for today but I will be back again tomorrow when we will discuss ACORN. I hope you all have a marvelous day my friends CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Hello ya’ll and welcome to the Tuesday installment of Simple Man Politics. As a rule I normally write about political policy issues or politicians. However today I’m going to do something different, something out there on the edge, I’m going to push the envelope, and you guys know what I mean. Todays targets are some in the media or supposed comedians and all of them think they are smarter than us.
Bill Maher:
Bill Maher is my first target for today and deservedly so. Bill Maher is a man who is known for his often vicious political satire and as such he often savages any political topic or figure particularly if it is against the politically conservative side. Since Barack Obama has been elected into office we have not heard even one derisive comment about the President while he attempted to commit wholesale character assassination on former President George W, Bush.
This comes as no surprise to me though considering his known political affiliations. The two most notable of these affiliations being PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) where he sits on the board, and The Reason Project where he serves as an advisory board member. Bill Maher is a vocal supporter of gay marriage and an out spoken critic of religion.
Janeane Garofalo:
What can I say about this woman that could possibly put her in a good light? The obvious answer is not a damn thing unfortunately. There was a time when I really liked her comedy she was a great stand up comedian. In recent years she has become politically active way to the left, which now makes her a target of those who are conservatives or are on the right. Janeane Garofalo and Bill Maher have a lot in common the only difference being is that Maher is vicious and Garafalo is just stupid. Janeane Garofalo is a known left wing political activist and former co host with The Weenie Al Franken of Air America Radios failed radio talk show The Majority Report.
This darling of the entertainment industry is a devout atheist and has participated in a radio interview held by Free Thought Radio, which is run by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. She has participated in the Code Pink anti war march in Washington D.C. Her latest foray into political commentary led her to group all the Tea Party protesters as racists against Obama. I find this to be odd considering there were a good many protesters who were Democrats as well. As for Garafalo I think this dimwit would be hard pressed to explain the original Boston Tea Party.
Drive by Media:
This blog would not be complete without giving the Drive by Media, CNN, and MSNBC its due attention. The liberal left wing bias of the Drive by Media and those within CNN and MSNBC has been incredibly obvious especially over the eight years that George W, Bush sat in the Oval Office and right through the last national election that put Barack Obama in the same office.
You could see it in the eyes of the news anchors at CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC they could smell McCain’s blood and were salivating at the chance to get their share of the conservative carcass. Commentators like Chris Matthews, Ken Olberman, and Dan Rather were having orgasms on the air in anticipation of ultimately electing Barack Obama as the next US president.
You know after having read, watched, and listened to most of those people out there that are supporters of Barack Obama I have learned a couple of things that I wasn’t really ready to believe. I learned that most of them were themselves racists against their own race. I learned that those we trust to bring us unbiased political news were not reporting that news they were trying to create the news as they saw it. I learned that none of these people were really any smarter than us.
I also learned that the one common thread that linked all of these people was hate. They hate anyone who does not believe as they do and they want to threaten and intimidate their opposition into silence. Basically they hate the American dream and do not believe that it belongs to anyone who dares question them. Their belief is that they and they alone are the chosen keepers of the American dream.
That is all I have for you guys today but I will be back again tomorrow. I hope you all have a terrific day CIAO4NOW!!!!!
There are a lot of people making a big deal over Barack Obama shaking hands with Hugo Chavez at the 2009 Summit of the Americas not once, not twice, but three times. Considering the fact that this summit is a political event attended by the leaders of the countries in the Americas the fact that Obama has shaken hands with Chavez is not in its self diplomatically surprising.
What surprises most people and the American right in particular is the fact that Obama continued to show courtesy to a leader that has continuously spouted hate and discontent filled rhetoric about our country and it’s former President George W, Bush almost as long as Bush sat in the Oval Office.
However it should come as no surprise to anyone that Barack Obama would extend every political courtesy to Hugo Chavez a self proclaimed socialist. Barack by every definition is what some would call a European style socialist similar to those who lead France. This is not surprising considering the fact that the European model until quite recently has been very popular amongst the residents of the European socialist nations on their continent.
The difference between Obama and Chavez is that Obama believes in government control of institutions like banking and manufacturing, while still having some privately owned businesses, stock markets, and financial markets. Chavez however believes in the complete nationalization of all assets within Venezuela. These examples are the only real differences between the two leaders.
With socialist movements well under way in many Central and South American nations it is only natural that they would support a push to place the world’s lone super power into the socialist’s nation’s category.
The proof that this move is acceptable to the Obama administration is his willingness to give both our enemies and those that subscribe to the dangerous ideology of socialism an equal seat at the table when it comes to forming our nation’s policies.
I will now tell you the two ways in which we can defeat this attempt by Obama to plunge us into a world of socialism and they are both very easy ways to accomplish the defeat of these socialist policies.
First scare the hell out of your elected Senators and Representatives by making it known that if they support Obama and these policies they are out of a job when they come up for re-election and the first chance for that is the mid-term elections in 2010. The second way is to vote Obama and his administration out of office in 2012.
That’s all I have to say for now and the rest is up to you. As for me I’m sure you can guess which way I’m going. Have a marvelous day my friends and I will be back again tomorrow, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
I have to admit that I agree with President Obama and his administrations decision to boycott the UN Conference on Racism along with Germany, Australia, and Canada. However I do not think that we boycotted the conference for the reasons I think it was a good idea. Although I must say that in light of the opening remarks of the conference by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I think the end justifies the means.
While I may not be able to speak for the reasons why three other nations boycotted the conference I do believe that I may be able to give you all some insight into why the United States did boycott the racism conference. I believe that the reason our government chose not to attend the conference is because of our current policy to extend the hand of friendship to Iran and open up diplomatic dialog with the rogue nation.
I and some of my acquaintances who are very politically active and knowledgeable feel that this was a wise and strategic decision made by the Obama administration to avoid a confrontation with the Persian nation. If we had had representation at the conference then we would have had to directly condemn Ahmadinejads remarks, which were almost certain to be inflammatory, and that would have hampered the Obama administrations ability cozy up to the radically Islamic nation.
I fell it was the right choice for the US to boycott the UN Conference on Racism simply because they chose Iran to give the opening speech at the conference. There is absolutely no good reason whatsoever to give Iran and Ahmadinejad a platform from which to espouse his hate filled rhetoric and psycho ideology to the world and give them any credibility. There is absolutely no doubt that this move was made by Ban Ki-moon to appease the UN body many of whom are like minded with Iran.
I think it was obvious from the beginning that as soon as Ahmadinejad took the podium that he was going to rant and rave against Israel. He proved me right with statements such as calling Israel the “most cruel and repressive regime”, called the holocaust a “pretext” for aggression, and “they resorted to military aggression to make an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish suffering, they meaning the US and Europe.
At the first mention of Israel approximately forty diplomats left the conference room. There were also protesters there who accused Ahmadinejad and Iran of being racists and even threw red rubber clown noses at the Iranian president, which I personally found extremely funny. The clown disguises were in references to the two faces that Iran wears and what a joke the conference is. The only real tragedy of the UN Conference on Racism is that it and the travesty that marked it took place on the eve of Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day.
For the record I don’t think that we are done with trying to placate and approaching those rogue and criminal regimes in the world that seem to be Obama’s favorite audiences now-a-days. If it kills us Obama is going to drag us kicking and screaming into dangerous and alliances with those in the world who want to hurt us and even destroy us. When that happens and it will we will have yet another 9/11 to bemoan, but the difference will be that we willing invited the enemy inside the walls and it will really be our governments fault for our suffering.
That is all I have to rant about for today. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday my friends, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

This is what day three of the standoff between the US Navy and four Somali pirates with one hostage in a lifeboat that is out of gas? It seems absurd that we would even be attempting to negotiate with rabble like these pirates, but here we are doing just that. I think that this sends the wrong signal to those who might attempt this sort of crime against us for more sinister purposes.
Now I will tell you that while this situation is not in itself political the policy that the navy is following most certainly is political. The policy that the navy is operating under is political, because the navy gets it orders through a chain of command and at the top of the chain is the Commander in Chief.
Recent Presidential history has shown that Barak Obama practices the policy of appeasement. Appeasing any groups that have hostile intentions against us, whether they are Al Qaeda or Somali pirates is the wrong message to convey. Appeasement is a sign to people like these that you are weak and unwilling to defend yourself and therefore you will be a target for these groups again in the future.
Recent news reports have indicated that a US navy amphibious warship is currently steaming into the area. This is good news if the Commander in Chief is willing to use the marine force on board to free the Hostage Captain Richard Phillips and to capture or kill the pirates; otherwise it is just a poor show of force and will be ineffective.
Recent reports also show that several high jacked vessels, hostages, and pirates are also headed to the area to confront the navy and to heighten the tension that is already palpable in the standoff. It has also been reported that a negotiator for the Somalis have said that they want 2 million dollars ransom for Captain Phillips or they will kill him.
I think that we are going to allow this whole situation to get out of hand and I don’t understand why. We didn’t let the Barbary pirates get away with messing with our merchant shipping interests in the 19th century, we just sent in the marines and the problem was settled short, sweet, and bloody for the pirates.
I think we should do the same thing here, because the bullets we use on the four Somali pirates will cost less than 2 million dollars and will send the message that this sort of monkey business involving our shipping interests will not be tolerated any where in the world. The last thing these animals will understand is appeasement, but they understand violent action quite well, and just like any other bully if you bloody their noses they will run away crying back to their hideout.
However I must unfortunately tell you that I think this situation will continue to deteriorate in the pirates favor. The reason I believe this is as soon as the other high jacked vessels with their hostages arrive, it ceases to be just about our interests or concerns and becomes a multi-national concern. This will not be good for us, because other nations will want to negotiate with the pirates rather than use force, and our military superiority will be circumvented.
That is all I have to say on this subject right now and for the record I really hope I am wrong about how this looks likely to play out. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be and it has been proven in the past to me on matters such as this that I am rarely ever wrong. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, T.G.I.F. CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Hmmmm lets see, how should I start today. First let me say that I am sorry for not doing a blog post on Friday, but I have to pay the bills before I can spread the truth here. Another reason is that Joy who has written for me here before had somewhat of a personal crisis to deal with and required my support.
You see Joy grew up with the Mayhle’s. Stephen Mayhle is one of the Pittsburgh police officers who were brutally gunned down last Friday in the Stanton Heights section of the city, while responding to a domestic disturbance call in the early hours of the morning.
However now it is time for some more Simple Man Politics. Today we are going to talk a little about Obama’s trip to the G20 summit and NATO meetings. To say the least I found his trip to be highly anti-climactic to say the least. It appears that our super star President was not as well received as he would have liked.
First off with regard to his attendance of the G20 summit I found him to be remarkably apologetic about the United States being responsible for the current global economic crisis that has affected the world markets. However he was right that we own some of the responsibility, but he was wrong about who exactly was responsible.
Obama claimed that he inherited this bad economy from his predecessor George W, Bush’s administration and that is true. What he fails to tell anyone is that while it occurred during the Bush administration it is in fact a legacy he inherited from his own party who controlled both houses of congress.
The two men most responsible for the economic meltdown are Senator Chris Dodd and Representative Barney Frank. These two men were responsible for overseeing our financial institutions including Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae. When they were told by several different people that these two companies were in trouble they loudly denounced those who warned them and said that Freddy and Fanny were fine.
Of course Obama also laid the growing deficit at George Bush’s feet as well while conveniently forgetting the fact that with his second bailout, stimulus bill, and budget he plans on growing our national debt to over 4.7 Trillion Dollars this year with a Trillion Dollars added every year for the next ten years. He is accomplishing this with the aid of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid the senate and house leaders.
My favorite part of Obama’s trip had to be his stop in Turkey though. I will admit that this nation is an important ally to the US in the WAR ON TERROR. We use their bases for resupply operations as well as a way into and out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
What I don’t understand is his statement to the Turkish people that we are not at war with Islam. I would think that it is obvious that we are not at war with Islam. However we are at war with Islamo-Fascism. Islamo-Fascism is the ideology that is spouted out from groups like Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad.
I was also not surprised at the reception that Obama has received in some of the countries that he visited. While most of the European socialist governments love him it is quite clear that a lot of the people do not. Of course the governments there love him, because he wants the same sort of government that hasn’t worked for them in the last century. The ordinary people seemed to know that he was a B.S. artist almost instinctively.
I have one more thing to say before I go today, and that is on the subject of Nuclear disarmament. Obama clearly believes in total nuclear disarmament, but does he really think that he can get these rogue countries that are pursuing this technology to put it down once they get these weapons. I doubt that Iran or North Korea would be willing to do so.
The world’s deterrence to a nuclear war is the fact that we possess nukes, and the deterrence in the Middle East is the fact that Israel possesses nukes. Unfortunately that is why nations like Iran are pursuing nuclear weapons programs so that they can attack Israel.
The truth of the matter is that whether we like it or not Obama is our President for the next four years. It is unfortunate for us however that he is against his own country and all for being popular in the world before being safe. This is true both economically and strategically. I only hope that our enemies are not any emboldened to attack us now than they were before his overseas trip.
Have an awesome day my friends and I will be back again real soon, although it may not be before Wednesday, but you never know, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Just Say No To Newspaper Bailouts Who Reads Them Anyway.....
1 comments Posted by simpleman at 10:52 AM
Hello my friends and welcome to another installment of Simple Man Politics. Today’s topic is one I have had an opinion on for sometime, but of course I always do have an opinion on what I write about, so I guess that isn’t really news. However today’s topic is about news or more to the point newspapers and the idea that they need government bail outs to. As you are all aware of by now I have not favored bail outs for any businesses, so my opinion on newspaper bail outs will be no different.
It doesn’t matter to me whether your business is banking, insurance, investments, autos, news papers, or anyone for that matter. A free market capitalist economy/society has always had a survival of the fittest mentality, which means that the weak die and the strong survive. This philosophy is what ultimately makes a nations economy stronger. Unfortunately in this new age of entitlement that we are now suffering through, every hog is fighting for their place at the tax payer trough.
Now don’t get me wrong I used to enjoy reading the newspaper. When I was a kid I couldn’t wait for the Sunday paper to be delivered so I could read the comics. As a teen I added the sports page to my list of required reading from my local paper. When I became an adult my morning coffee and paper was a ritual that I was loathe to forgo, needing my information fix on local, state, and national news.
But as we all know times change. First with the advent of cable and ultimately the creation of the 24 hour news cycle it became possible for me to catch up on the news at the push of a button becoming my morning ritual of coffee and cable, instead of coffee and paper. With the creation of the internet and all of its resources it finally took the place of cable and coffee and became computer and coffee.
The great thing about all of this is that it has all happened in my lifetime, and I have welcomed the technology age with open arms, and so was delivered out of the dark ages and into the light. All of this has become possible because we had a growing economy willing to take advantage of cutting edge technology that has kept America at the forefront of the world economically, and eventually led to us being the sole remaining global superpower in the world.
In addition to all of that I have another reason for not wanting to see any newspapers getting government bailouts. The reason newspapers exist in the first place is to keep an eye on our government as well as the world to keep us informed. Unfortunately it has been proven that the newspapers are not looking out for us regular Joes anymore. Newspapers now have their own political agenda’s that they promote and are anything but fair and balanced in their reporting.
I personally don’t care whether a publication is left wing or right wing; they should not be picking sides in political fights. Their job is and should be reporting the news factually and accurately, without bias or prejudice. This rarely happens anymore and to the detriment of society I might add. Bailouts might make these newspapers supplicate themselves to the government making them unable to defend us against those they are supposed to be watching, the government.
I pay my bills, feed my family, put a roof over their heads, and clothes on their backs. Whether I am right or wrong we survive by the decisions I make every day, if I am right we swim, and if I am wrong we sink. There is no government program out there that is going to bail me out if I get in a little trouble. Sure there is unemployment and food stamp’s, but how long can you be a productive member of society on those pittances. So I say no government bailouts for me no government bailouts for anybody. My tax dollars should be working for me not big business, or Barack Obama and company.
That is all I have to rant about for today, but as usual I am sure I will find something else tomorrow. Have a marvelous Monday all, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Finally someone is going to get to see “Hillary: The Movie”, but unfortunately it is not because it has been released for public viewing, it is because it is at the center of a Supreme Court case regarding the governmental regulation of a political film as a campaign ad. The decision in this case might well determine how people can make movies and educate the people about them.
David Bossie who is a former congressional aide produced the Clinton movie as well as another film titled “Obama: The Hype Effect”. David Bossie ran into legal problems regarding both of these films because he wanted to release them during Hillary’s run for the White House and in Obama’s case during his general election campaign against John McCain. Bossie says that both of these films are about important moments in American politics, but do not tell people not to vote for either Clinton or Obama.
“Hillary: The Movie” was originally shown in eight theaters, and Bossie’s group also wanted to run ads on television and as well as show the movie on cable TV’s video-on-demand in key election states at the height of the primary season. Unfortunately federal courts cited the McCain Feingold law saying that Bossie’s ads would violate that law.
The judges went on to say that the movie was a 90 minute attack ad ruling that if the ads appeared on TV Citizens United would have to identify its financial backers and if the movie appeared on cable television not only would Citizens United have to name it’s financial backers, but they would also have to pay the costs to air the film.
This of course prompted Citizens United to appeal to the SCOTUS arguing that their film is not a political ad, but rather a documentary style film comparable to those shown by “Frontline”, “Nova”, and “60 Minutes.” Theodore Olson who represents Citizens United stated that while “Hillary” does present a critical assessment of Clinton’s political background it does not convert the movie into an appeal to vote against Senator Clinton.
Michael Moore the filmmaker who was responsible for the controversial film “Fahrenheit 9/11” also ran into problems when he tried to air his film criticizing President Bush during the run up to the Presidential election in 2004. The people responsible for throwing up the road block that stopped Moore from airing the film was none other than Citizens United. David Bossie went on to say that Moore’s recognition of the power of documentary film is what inspired him to make this film.
Forget for the moment that this movie is nothing more than political entertainment. From what I have been able to gather it also hits the viewer very hard with the truth about Hillary Clinton and one of those truths is that she is a very dangerous, ruthless, and evil political player. She is also a politically motivated creature that just like her husband Bill Clinton craves the power that comes along with being President.
She has lied over and over to the American people on everything from Whitewater to the White House travel issue. She will say whatever she has to at the moment and hope we will forget that she said it later, and that is the truth. She is certainly one of the most liberal figures in the Democratic Party and next to Obama and almost as much a socialist as well. She is the perfect political chameleon, because you never know who she is going to turn into next.
Today is the day that the SCOTUS hears the case and I really hope that the Supreme Court treads lightly when considering this case from both sides. Not only is the infringement of free speech at risk here, but so is freedom of the press and our own right to pursue certain forms of entertainment as our pursuit of happiness all of which are guaranteed us by the Constitution.
With other films currently out there like “W”, “Fahrenheit 9/11”, “Frost Nixon”, and “An American Carol” Who has the right to say this is not politically motivated entertainment or to censor it for that matter. Is there anyone out there who knows better than you what forms of entertainment you enjoy, whether it is books, music, magazines, or movies? I don’t think so, because I know exactly what I like to watch, read, or listen to better than anyone else does.
I hope you all have enjoyed this post and the video I am including with it. Remember silencing David Bossie’s voice is the prelude to the government silencing all of us especially those of us who disagree with them. Have a terrific Tuesday, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Welcome to all of you to the Simple Man Politics T.G.I.F. post, and I’m going to try to make this one short and sweet…..hopefully so bear with me please.
Today I want to talk about the bailout, the companies bailed out, and who exactly is responsible. This really is not all that complicated an issue, you just have to look at who was and currently is responsible for keeping an eye on the banks and lending institutions where the problems started and the answer as to who is responsible is right in front of our faces every day.
We all know that this whole mess started with the housing market tumbling into the crapper. Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae getting involved in the sub-prime mortgage business and being forced to make those loans to people who could not afford to pay the mortgages they were given. Of course there was plenty of warning that these two governmentally created and sponsored companies were in trouble but those responsible just blew it off and said there was no trouble there.
When Freddy and Fanny fell that of course caused a domino effect that ran the financial markets, banks, and mortgage industry that was almost so catastrophic that recovery appeared all but impossible. Investment companies like Lehman Brothers and banks such as Citigroup and Bank of America found themselves with virtually no cash or assets to finance their businesses because of their involvement in the sub-prime crisis as well.
The people who are responsible for this mess are at the heart of the problem still and in charge of these companies even as we attempt to prop up these companies along with the big three auto makers who have found themselves incapable of selling their cars due to a frozen credit market. Of course there is also AIG who just can’t seem to get their act together and are constantly tripping themselves in the public eye.
While you can point the finger at both houses of congress and the Democrats in particular there are only two people who were responsible for keeping Freddy and Fannie on the straight and narrow. However they had no interest in doing so because they profited the most from campaign contributions and the like from those two failed entities. I am talking about Chris Dodd and Barney Frank.
Senator Chris Dodd (D) did then and currently still chairs the Senate Banking Committee in the upper house. Representative Barney Frank (D) during this whole fiasco chaired the House Financial Services Committee and is still in that position. These two crooks profited from hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to their campaign coffers from Fanny and Freddy.
These two criminals were also instrumental in forcing Fanny and Freddy along with other banks to make bad loans to people who couldn’t afford to pay those loans back even though these corporations didn’t want to do business that way. All of this under the guise of the Community Reinvestment Act although all it really was about was the greed of these two, organizations like ACORN, and their sleazy cohorts that ran some of these businesses.
So the next time you see the liberal media sounding off in mock indignation about who is responsible just remember Dodd and Frank. I’m sure that the Obama administration and Turbo tax Tim Geitner may be responsible for some things now, but Dodd and Frank were responsible then and they still are now. These two should at least be investigated and at the most be stripped of their chairmanships and prosecuted.
Well so much for short and sweet. I will be back next week and I hope you all have a fantastic weekend CIAO4NOW!!!!!
I’m here to tell you that we have an awesome Commander in Chief…..NOT!!!!!! I was watching Special Report with Bret Baier on Fox News Friday night and I heard one of the most ridiculous things about President Obama that I have heard so far. Our fearless leader and Commander in Chief wants our veterans who have suffered service injuries while fighting overseas to pay for their medical care with private insurance. I swear can you even think of a more compassionate plan for our service people than that one, Obama must really care about those he commands, MY BUTT!!!!!
This is the guy who wants to nationalize healthcare so that everyone has medical insurance, because it is good for the people. Of course I guess our military personnel are not the equal of the entitlement mentality types who believe that the government owes them everything from medical insurance and money to god forbid maybe even work. That is if you can get their lazy asses to put down their pot and get up from in front of their cartoons long enough to even work part time.
Oh wait a minute I know why the entitlement crowd deserves everything and our military personnel don’t even deserve medical benefits, it is because the entitlement types voted for Obama while most of the military voted for McCain. Well hell if Obama is going to try to pay off the unions with card check, environmentalists with global warming policies that promote the lie, then why not try to payoff the welfare crowd for their votes as well.
Our men and women in uniform have no choice but to do as they are ordered to do. It doesn’t matter that they may not agree with our nation’s policies regarding national security and defense, but they do it anyway because that is the job they volunteered for. They go out all over the world to fight and sometimes die for this nation and when they are injured the man that is ultimately responsible for putting them in harms way wants to deny them the medical care that they deserve.
I don’t know about all of you, but this really pisses me off. Obama telling these fine men and women that they need to purchase private insurance to care for the wounds they received in battle for this nation is a big sign of disrespect to them and is a badge of dishonor that our President has earned and should have to wear if this travesty comes to pass.
That is all for now but I am sure that there will be more there always is. Have a great day and I will see you all again soon, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

The last 24 hours have seen some serious spending in D.C, to the tune of 410 Billion dollars. This pork laden omnibus spending bill designed to run the government until next year has just pushed the national deficit to over 1.3 Trillion dollars. There appears to be almost 9,000 earmarks in this bill totaling something like 9 to 11 Billion dollars. Granted this is not a very significant amount when compared with the entire bill, but these earmarks are a definite waste of tax payer dollars.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid who are Obama’s staunch allies and the thugs responsible for pushing this monster pork filled spending bill through both houses of congress have once again managed to do as they please with little or no road blocks thrown up to help streamline the bill in any way. This bill went effortlessly through last night and it is a shame.
Barack Obama who had said that he was all for earmark reform in spending bills, didn’t hesitate to sign the bill into law even as he called for tough earmark reform before a televised press conference. His only defense for signing the bill was that he had inherited the bill from the last administration, which is certainly true. However I think that in light of our current economic distress Obama and hid cohorts should have removed the earmarks prior to passage.
Don’t for one minute think that the Republicans in both houses are going to get a pass from me on this garbage. Even though approximately 60% of these earmarks belong to Democratic Senators and Congressmen, 40% of this earmark crap falls squarely on the shoulders of Republicans in both houses so much for fiscal responsibility from the party of conservatism.
While the votes in both houses on this bill were split largely on party lines there appears to be no real effort by other side to control spending. The republicans also seem to not care about the behemoth that our government is becoming. It seems we are becoming a nation of government for the government rather than for the people. Hell we now have more czars in our government than ruled Russia.
The sad part is that the Dem’s led by Pelosi are already looking into another stimulus package and we aren’t even passed Obama’s first 100 days in office. On top of all of that we are still pumping money into a failed auto industry, AIG, and banking institutions such as Citigroup, and B of A. I got to tell you that Costa Rica is looking better all the time, or maybe the Cayman Islands, but as an American I won’t run away from these problems, but I will run towards a good business opportunity.
I hope you all have a wonderful evening, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I was driving along Friday listening to one of my favorite conservative talk radio shows when the host brought up something that made me sit up and take notice to what he was saying. He brought up the fact that Barack Obama is the first American President ever allowed to carry a personal communications device. I am not talking about a cell phone either I am talking about his personal Blackberry device.
The reason I found this so disturbing is that all Presidential communications including his personal communications are considered matters of public record under the FOI (Freedom of Information) Act, except for matters of National Security, and the host corroborated my thoughts. Of course not even those of National Security are completely confidential as those with the required Security clearances have access to them.
Another interesting tidbit of information that I learned was the fact that all Blackberry communications are untraceable, WOW can you imagine that untraceable. Does that mean that not even our friends at the NSA with their state of the art listening technology and intelligence gathering apparatus can bug a Blackberry? What can President Obama possibly need with a device like that and who is he secretly communicating with?
Now I know what you are all thinking, this sounds like I’m about to become a conspiracy theorist. Well normally I am not one of those kinds of people, but it seems to me that Obama is being accorded a privilege that no other US President has ever enjoyed. President George W, Bush has even acknowledged that he ceased sending emails to his daughter’s from his computer at the White House because they were not private, so why should Obama not have to be scrutinized under the same microscope?
Does Obama regularly communicate with people that the citizens of the United States might not find appropriate? Maybe Obama consults with the homegrown terrorist Bill Ayers on matters of education policy, or with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright on matters of domestic policy. Who knows maybe Obama even consults with terrorists like Rashid Khalidi or Khalid al Mansour on matters of defense and security policy. Maybe he even has Tony Rezco on speed dial up at the penitentiary so he can get economic and financial advice. These are just the sort of people we need looking out for our best interests.
Now I don’t pretend to know what Obama is doing with his Blackberry device and chances are it is not something as devious as the scenario I just mentioned, but since I just professed to not having the necessary knowledge to tell you what he is doing with the device, then who does?
I will say this though and that is that President Obama should not be shown any special consideration that hasn’t been shown any past President. It will cloud his promise of transparency and we can’t have him breaking a campaign promise now can we? Of course who am I an American and tax paying citizen to demand that my President be open and forthcoming about his day to day affairs in the White House I help to pay for?
That is all I have for now, but you need to think about what I just said and decide what you think and believe. Have a great day, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
I am not sure, but I think I might have been partially wrong about our new President and his administration when I called them a socialists. That does not mean that I don’t believe that he has any socialist policies, because he obviously does. He has also appointed some admitted and committed socialists to high posts within his administration. The reason I believe that I may have been partially wrong about him and his administration being socialists is that they may very well be communists at least to a degree.
Take it easy now and don’t pop a blood vessel just yet and let me explain. As you are probably aware I receive a vast amount of political emails from people and organizations. Some of these are humorous, some are stupid, and some are serious, but I look through them all in an attempt to find the gold nugget of news worthy truth in every one of them. The information I am about to give you came from one such email a friend and fellow blogger who has written for my blog a time or two, and her name is Joy and you can find her blog here.
The email that Joy had sent me contained a link to a site called American Thinker and you can find the page I am talking about here. The title of this particular blog is “Bingo! Call It Communism”. What it basically talks about is the CPUSA’s (Communist Party of United States of America) platform and support of Barack Obama’s election and now administration you can find them here. What I found on both of these websites sent a chill up my spine and it was 83 degrees here in the Valley of the Sun yesterday.
According to the American Thinker there are 44 items in the CPUSA’s platform that they advocate and promote for our government to achieve their agenda of a new communist government for the United States of America. Randall Hoven who wrote this blog for the American Thinker posted the 44 item platform in his blog as well as a link to the CPUSA site with their manifesto in PDF format that you can download there.
In the Randall Hoven blog he clearly shows the reader the platform, what things in the platform that have already been achieved, and what still needs to be implemented according to the CPUSA manifesto. According to the information that he supplied and my research I have found his blog to be factually accurate. Out of 44 items in the CPUSA platform 22 items have already been implemented, 21 are in the progress of being implemented, and only 1 of these items have been violated.
What this means for the citizens of the United States is that we are half way towards becoming the ideal communist country and workers paradise. Now I am not going to sit here and tell you that I know what is going on in the Mind of Barack Obama, because even I am not that twisted, well at least I don’t think so. But I have been extremely suspicious of the anointed one Barack Obama since he first appeared on the horizon as a Presidential hopeful.
All I ask of you my readers is that you take a look at the information I have given you and make your own decisions as to what you think or believe about this. As for me I feel that I believe what is said about this subject and that he may actually be a committed communist although he will never admit it. I already know that is at the very least a socialist and that is dangerous enough.
I hope you all have a great day and I will see all of you again very soon, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
