Single Issue Votes

 On a gun forum which I sue frequently, the news that the NRA has endorsed a sole democrat politician for this years elections has drawn the ire of many forum members. The thing is that the forum members who oppose the NRA having done so probably are, in my estimation, using the same basic method of how they have gone about deciding to oppose the NRA on this issue; that method was, by my guess, to base their decision on a single issue. In this case that would be that the forum users disagree with the NRA based solely on the fact that the politician is a democrat and thus must be opposed. Of course, I think the NRA's single issue used to by them to decide to endorse her was something different, her support of the right to keep and bear arms, but the method of using only a single issue to make their decision is the same.

The thing is, it is not a single issue situation, one has to consider all of the other issues which she supported and voted for in addition to those she openly opposed and voted against in order to make a wise decision as to whether to support or oppose the NRA's endorsement of her. I am pretty certain though, the NRA bases the political endorsements they give to politicians on only one issue, the RKBA or at least in the great part upon that lone issue. In that regard, many in the gun forum's thread discussing this seem to be of the same ilk, as is the mindset of other conservative who oppose the NRA's endorsement of her, as far as how they are going about judging the NRA. By that I mean they evidently are basing their dislike of the NRA's endorsement of congresswoman Mary Peltola, D–Alaska (more at the source) on a single issue when there is no doubt one issue does not make up the platforms of most politicians nor the ideals of most voters.At least I think not of logical voters in most elections. If this lady is consistently one who votes more conservatively or at least logically and is not woke nor a DEI selection by voters, then maybe she deserves not only an A+ from the NRA but the support of those in the Rebooblican Party who currently oppose her, having received the nod from the NRA, just because she is a registered Demonkrat. 

I had been thinking, just in the last couple of weeks of registering as a Demonkrat; that just so I could vote in the Demonkrat primaries - the ones that should have been held with little delay after the likes of Schumer, Pelosi, Harris and others seemingly conspired to boot out Biden. Let's face it, my (any any other voters) due process as a voter may have been violated by them not allowing voters the opportunity to vote for their candidate of choice to replace Biden on the ticket. I would have voted for almost anyone other than Harris; my vote probably would have come to be a write in vote or Biden (it would be great if dems did that en masse, voted for Biden in the new primary (that should have been held) and then Biden would have wound up with more votes than Harris. You may think it great that she was appointed by the Dems and is running against Trump but I think a leftist of lesser degree would be easier for Trump to defeat; and the easiest would have been Biden - easily accomplished, as I said, by way of write in votes for Biden. 

Now, I am not very religious; although, sometimes I wonder if I am more religious than I think and at other times ponder whether or not I am religious at all. Yet, I do embrace several, or I suppose it is actually many, Christian morals, philosophies, ideals and etiquette and live most of my life with them as guidelines along with some of the same from a few other religions and or lay philosophies of some who are agnostic or not religious at all. In general, I think I live my life by trying to do the right things much more frequently than not. Despite that, I have as of late found myself sort of praying to God (if there is one), or the Gods if more than one (the early Christians number one way into the hearts of those of other faiths to win them over, I think, was mainly the fact that despite claiming there was only one God, they kind of sort of almost practiced a religion that was polytheism in a way never seen before because their one God was also three Gods all miraculously being one and the same), Nature, the Force or whatever powers that may be that Harris does not defeat The Donald and then wind up destroying outr great nation and I base my prayers on several issues. In the case of the upcoming election while the one issue of the RKBA is extremely important to me, I still believe candidates need be judged on several issues and have their voting records and their overall politics scrutinized by a multitude of examiners, the voters, just to assure their platform and possibly prior behavior agree with those types of essentially Judaeo-Christian and other religion's ideals before anyone decides to give them a shining endorsement or their vote. 

It is much the same when deciding whom not to support and voting against someone, for instance Harris. There are many points I can think of why one should not vote for Harris. Those being the disaster of the essentially open border, her abject disrespect for the law when it came to what I think was post G. Floyd terrorism practiced by BLM and ANTIFA among others, her extreme disrespect for law enforcers as I see it based upon her thinking defunding the police was a good idea and I believe she probably still thinks it, her seeming belief that riots involving those groups were peaceful protests, an alleged large number of race based convictions of black men for minor marijuana infractions when she was a prosecutor, my belief she is a racist, her playing all sides against the middle by claiming at different times to be of different races, her failure as Border Czar, the failing economy, her anti-RKBA stance, her poor judgement as in her selection of her running mate- even many dems agree on that, her all too often senseless babble that she repeatedly regurgitates, her inability to get her point across to make anyone understand what she actually means when speaking about the issues (this has been a long time ploy of leftists leaving it to their followers to decide the meaning of her babble for themselves thus getting self satisfaction even if their interpretations are very different than one anothers in the dem party - keeps everyone happy when they all can make believe they got it right), her seeming frequent inability to finish making a point about something serious without breaking out into a wild cackle, her very apparent lack of knowledge on subjects about which she is interviewed or about which she is making a statement, her evident lies about the competency of Joe Biden.

All that said, I cannot understand why anyone who is acting rationally would vote for her. Instead I see a multitude of mindless adherents who will vote for her because they believe she would be the first woman president and sex is their one issue, she would be the first black woman president and race and sex are what does it for them or simply race alone is enough, she would be the first person of Asian descent and her ancestry, race and ethnicity does it for other voters. I prefer to base my distaste for her on multiple issues: first of all that she is the selection of the deep state within the Demonkrat party and thus her candidacy was not put to a vote and deprived other candidates of a fair chance and also deprived the voters of the opportunity to make the selection, that she goes along with how she was selected as the candidate, she seems to support late term abortion, she is anti-RKBA, she did nothing to get the economy out of the mess it is in but supported Bidenomics that caused the economy to falter, that she evidently  lied about Bidens mental acuity, that she apparently lied about her support of Biden as the dem candidate, that she speaks in senseless riddles or babble,  that she seems very uninformed and unknowledgeable about major issues, opposes Donald Trump and has seemingly expressed the same hatred for him as other mindless Demonkrats by which they hate him so much they'd do anything to prevent him from being elected again - even supporting his assassination, that she plays both sides against the middle in the Israel versus Hamas war... The list goes on and on but those multiple issues I just presented are more than enough reason for me never to vote for Harris and probably for me to never vote for a Demonkrat ever again because it seems the great majority of the party's members are actually functioning irrationally when it comes to politics. 

While I tend to doubt it, maybe the NRA decided to endorse congresswoman Mary Peltola, D–Alaska based upon multiple issues, after their scrutiny of her overall politics, as opposed to doing so based upon a single issue. I certainly would hope voters do so, that is to consider many issues if not all of them even if the NRA maybe did not. I definitely wish they'd do so when it comes to whom they decide to cast their vote for president - Harris or Trump. If they do that, I think there is no way Trump can lose unless the election is rigged.

Bill Garza For Otero County, NM Sheriff

I do not live in Otero County, NM but if I did you could safely bet that I would vote for Bill Garza for county sheriff. I was in federal law enforcement for 32 years plus a little and I can definitely say, from what I know of serving the people, Bill is, in my opinion, the right man for the job. If you do live out that way, give Bill some serious consideration for your vote. Here is a link to his website:
https://www.votebillgarza.com/.

Wherever you live, you may want to consider dropping a buck his way in the form of a campaign contribution; I imagine any bit would help. I do not give endorsements lightly nor do I usually consider asking people to make political contributions to anyone in a local election let alone a man I have never met in person. Yet, I can do so with the faith that Bill can get the job done and do it right because of what I know of him, his wife Jen and the rest of their wonderful family.

While I know them only through contact via the Internet by way of my blog, Jen's blog, Facebook (as of late) and correspondence we have sent to one another via email, they have become dear friends of mine. That was possible in that manner because of the amazing way by which they stood with me and helped battle stage 4 throat cancer back in 2011. Their moral support and prayers for me, the support they garnered for me from folks like them around the world - it made me realize these were good patriotic Americans and simply very amazing and generous folks who were willing to help out a total stranger based on their own way of life. 

Then there were the stories of their family struggles: Bill is a retired but (I am pretty sure) pension-less law enforcement officer due to an on the job injury that did not allow him to continue working. The injury came before he was vested in any sort of pension, including disability (if any of this is wrong I will correct it as soon as Jen straightens me out and I am sure she will if I got any wrong). Thus they faced financial difficulties and other hardships 
in the state where Bill had been employed as a LEO. 

They overcame all that by way of their faith in God, their faith in and love for one another and by their determination to find a place to which they could relocate on a shoestring budget and start all over again. They found a home in New Mexico, built it up from what was not more than a good sized shack on an almost barren dirt patch to a wonderful home and farm/ranch and have succeeded in their dream of making it on their own. I really do mean essentially on their own too, it is amazing the things they accomplished with little or no help from anyone but themselves. All the while they raised 4 wonderful children who have all become patriotic and contributing adult members of society. Now Bill and Jen are grandparents too. They have shared many of their experiences and their accomplishments by way of Jen's defunct blog Pen of Jen and also by way of her current blog Double Nickel Farm.  

Everything I know of them leads me to believe that people like Bill  (and Jen too if she ever decides to run for office) are the ones we want in government service whether it be as sheriff, mayor, county executive, governor of a state or representative in Congress. I wish him all the luck in world in the election and offer my whole hearted endorsement to him.

 

VOTE BILL GARZA FOR OTERO COUNTY SHERIFF

Mr. President - You Got That Ass Backwards

When you vote, as an illegal alien, you are not suddenly a citizen! Yet, you said when you vote you are a citizen! The right thing to have answered was that only U.S. citizens can vote in the upcoming election and for an illegal, or even a legal, alien to do so in our elections would be a criminal act. The fact is that when you are a citizen is when you can vote, aliens cannot legally vote in our federal elections. That would have been the right thing to say along with telling the interviewer, who claims to be an illegal alien, that it would be a heinous and criminal act to vote when not a citizen and that it would be dealt with appropriately. 



Let's face it, let no one make any mistake about your answer and its obvious intent - you were evidently encouraging an illegal act relative to one of our most cherished rights and important responsibilities - the act of a citizen casting his or her vote during an election. There can be absolutely no mistake as to what the woman asked you. She asked you if she, as an illegal alien, votes - will Immigration come looking for her.

It seems to me that you then gave an answer that in every conceivable way goes to encourage illegal aliens to illegally vote in Tuesday's election. You have apparently encouraged an illegal act and you are the president of the nation against which that crime would be committed. You sir, in my opinion, are worthy of only one thing - immediate impeachment.

Vote Trump,

The Renewed FBI Investigation - My Predictions

The way things have been going with the federal criminal justice systems,  especially the FBI and The Department of Justice's handling of the Clinton email probe, I am going to guess/predict that the latest FBI investigation will again result in the exoneration of Clinton but will have the added benefits to her of:

 

1.     The FBI alleging that Donald Trump is a security risk and Russian spy.

2.    The FBI presenting allegations to the public that Donald Trump shared sexting messages with Anthony Weiner.

3.    The FBI making allegations that The Donald grabbed Huma’s private parts (witout telling us how much she finally enjoyed a real man) while Anthony Weiner watched from the closet.

4.    The FBI alleging that Trump grabbed Hillary Clinton’s private parts pussy after which, at first, Bill will vehemently deny he was ever grabbed by Donald. Bill will finally admit, in a tearful speech during an interview conducted by Anderson Cooper on CNN three nights before Election Day, that he was in fact manhandled by Trump several times.

5.    That the FBI has filed charges against Donald Trump for felonious mopery.

That is all,

Yes There Is A Problem - A Potentially Big Problem

Pennsylvania has reportedly wrongfully sent out voter registration forms to thousands of legal and illegal aliens. (Source.) Mind you, there is not other way to send voter registration forms, for a presidential election, to aliens than wrongfully.

Only seven people came forward to say they received those forms and were ineligible to vote. Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State, Pedro Cortes, does not see a problem because there were so few who notified authorities. Now Pedro, you should be able to think of why that may be so significant and a potentially huge problem, should you not! Since you do not see it as a problem though, my bet would be that: you Mr. Cortes are a progressive (aka: liberal, aka: leftist). Yes my guess was right (source of my saying I was right).

The problem is the ones who did not come forward and who will register illegally and then vote illegally and who knows how many there will be of them since PA sent out thousands of registration forms to aliens both legal and illegal ,none of which have the right to vote in our national elections! That is a right reserved for U.S. citizens.

I Will Be On The Right Side - What About You?

Just read a very interesting and what quite possibly will amount to a prediction if Clinton is elected. It is in essence a warning to the left but I think it is also a good reminder to those who are not on that side as to what we may have to do to regain our Constitutional Republic if things come to the worst. Here are a few snippets flowed by a link to the whole article:

"You cannot expect to change the status quo for yourself and then expect those you victimize not to play by the new rules you have created. You cannot expect to be able to discard the rule of law in favor of the rule of force and have those you target not respond in kind."

"Liberals imagine that their president can simply take whatever actions he pleases – including ones he previously admitted were unconstitutional – and that the next Republican president won’t do the same. Except then it will be to negate their cherished policies."

"Liberals need to understand the reality that rarely penetrates their bubble. Non-liberal Americans (it’s more than just conservatives who are under the liberal establishment’s heel) are the majority of this country. They hold power in many states and regions in unprecedented majorities. And these attacks focus on what they hold dearest – their religion, their families and their freedom."

"And let’s be blunt – these are the people with most of the guns and the training to use them. That’s the reality of the rule of force. I’ve seen it – it’s there behind me in that photo."

I have to say it is one heck of a thought provoking piece, read it all at the source of those quotes at this link:

Mexico & Clinton - More Biased Balderdash In The Media?

So, Reuters is reporting that Hillary Clinton will not have a meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and they are making it appear as if she said she will not do so because Donald Trump created problems there. (Souce of both of the following quotes.)

"U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Monday she will not accept an invitation from Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto for a visit after rival Donald Trump created what she called a "diplomatic incident" in his foray there."

Doesn't that sound to you like she said she will not meet with him because Trump created a diplomatic incident there. It sure sounds like that to me and many readers would probably get that far and stop reading, at least the biased for Clinton and against Trump voter types that so strongly seem to support a leftist platform and let's be honest, also the die hard Trump voters who cannot accept any criticism of him. Yet, if you would just read on, to the very next paragraph, you would see that apparently that is not what Clinton said in response to a question as to whether or not she would meet with the president of Mexico. What she said was much briefer and seemingly made no reference to Trumps visit there, at least if quoted correctly.

"In a written excerpt from an interview with ABC News that will air Tuesday morning, Clinton simply said "no" when asked if she would travel to Mexico before the election on Nov. 8, without elaborating further."

The first paragraph certainly seems like an embellishment or certainly at least an exaggeration of what she reportedly really said, at least it seems that way to me especially in light of the fact that it was reported she did not elaborate further.

Now pardon me for being so bold as to say this but wouldn't one think that the candidate who keeps boasting about her record as Secretary of State (the chief diplomat in the USA) would most assuredly accept an invitation from our country's neighbor to the south to visit with that country's president as a sign of good diplomacy if for no other reason! Instead, she just gives a one word answer "no" that she will not accept such an invitation and snubs him just like that.

I also imagine that one would think that the candidate that Clinton brands as racist, Donald Trump, would never accept such an invitation. Yet, he did so and has already met with the Mexican president. Regardless of their differing opinions on border security and illegal immigration and whether or not they clashed over such issues, at least Trump had the respect for president Pena Nieto to meet with him and discuss the issue face to face. And to think, now Clinton is trying to assert that Trump's visit was a dismal failure because she says he did not breach certain issues - who is kidding whom here! She is a weasel at best and likely will be the ruin of America if elected.

If Hillary Clinton Wins The Presidency, I Predict...

...a separation for them - a terminal one. The them is, of course, she and Bill. I am almost willing to bet my last dollar that if Hillary is elected, Bill will either commit suicide or come down with an ailment that suddenly kills him or that he will have a terrible and fatal accident out of the blue or will otherwise cease to exist under similar spur of the moment circumstances. It seems to be a Clinton sort of thing that happens to people around them when those people are no longer needed by the Clintons. Think about it. I mean, if she is elected - what will she need Bill Clinton for ever again!

The Oprah Winfrey Show Disgusted Me - But This I Had To Watch...

...and I recommend you watch it too.

Before you watch it though, allow me to tell you what I think of Oprah and her show. Fuck Oprah ten times really hard, in her ass, with a donkey dick fired up with a ton of Viagra, Ben Gay and crystal meth. Yes, I despise her and her kind of so called entertainers. (No I do not mean that in any racial sort of connotation, it is just that I despise what I consider to be ultra leftists like her regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion or whatever.) Now take a gander at this video from the Oprah show, knowing how I feel about her and still with me insisting it is worth your while (and please note, this video was made a long time ago):



As for Trump, I would rather vote for him than (and these are my opinions of some other candidates):

Christie (hypocritical RINO), Rubio (hypocritical RINO and wetback lover)

Bush, (really sad case of a guy trying to convince us he is a conservative yet is little more, if anything, than a snivelling RINO)

Kucinich (maybe another RINO and maybe not but just does not have a snowballs chance in the middle of a nuclear war of lasting through the primaries),

Carson (while he thinks right, he is just too much of a whoosh)

Sanders (avowed socialist or in other words I think a commie)

Clinton (a rotten nasty bitch who cares only about the power she can yield even at the expense of the security of the American people and it is probably all just to get back at Bill for sticking his dick in whatever hole was available)
 
Normally, I probably would vote for Cruz before Trump since Trump has been way too far on the left, regarding many issues, over the years, for me. So, I think I would lean toward Cruz. Then again, that is only if the courts proved satisfactorily that he is what is meant by a natural born citizen. Since he is a dual US and Canadian citizen, born in Canada, I doubt they can do so. I say that because at the time the Constitution was written there was no such thing as a dual citizen as far as I am aware.

Better yet, I would vote for Rand Paul before them all but he will never win the primary as far as I can envision. What a pity because I think he has the right stuff for all Americans and I do mean for Americans and not for wetbacks or terrorists as leans Obama (in my estimation).

So, I am guessing it's going to be Donald Trump who will get my vote. Hopefully he has changed his principles on some things as he indicates in his speeches. While the leopard cannot change its spots, a man can definitely change his convictions, look to George W. Bush being a pussy and having done so by giving the bailouts and look to Ronald Reagan who was an avowed liberal but became the best president in my lifetime after he came over to the right.

My thanks and a hat tip to Steve Del C. for the video.

All the best,

A Week To Go Until The Election...

...and a week, or maybe 8 days, until we find out just how far our nation has descended into the maelstrom or insanity, the sewer of a lack of basic morality, the pit of respectlessness that society has become. I mean just look at the two candidates who are running for the presidency of the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. One is, at least in my opinion and the opinion of many others, an absolute unrepentant liar who lacks any sense of respect for the voters and citizens of his country and who also lacks any apparent sense of respect or duty toward the Constitution upon which our nationhood is based. The other is, in my opinion, a basically bumbling fool who wants to appease everyone even his worst enemies, even the other guy running for president the friend of the reported terrorist William Ayers.

It has gotten so crazy that I wonder, if the more liberal of the two wins, will our great nation actually become a communist/socialist haven in the west! It seems so to me. Yet, even if the other guy wins it seems that we will not be far from the same once all of Mexico's poor swarm across our borders to be embraced by him. I also wonder how far are we from becoming a nation like Venezuela, or a nation like France, or a nation like the once Great, and now not so Great, Britain, or how long it will be until we are totally devastated and wind up like Mexico or Haiti or maybe even Iraq. Whoever wins, I think we lose. Of course I think we lose more if Obama wins, much more as I see it; but regardless we lose with either of them as president.

You see we lost already when these were the two people chosen to be the candidates. We have decayed as a nation if we depend on two choices such as these to be our leaders. They are apologists - yes both of them are. McCain makes apologies for everyone, and Obama makes apologies for socialists, radicals, haters, terrorists and ultra liberals. They are also apologists for themselves and their radical ideas of how to run our country. It is simply enough to make me sick. I am almost saddened that it is not over already and that Hillary Clinton is not our president - please note I said almost.

Just had to get that off of my chest because I just saw this:

The only thing that cartoon did not get right is that it called us the People when it should have said the assholes gullible!

Start thinking about 2012 folks, think about it really hard too because after this election we are going to take it where the sun does not shine tax wise, defense wise, loss of rights wise, immigration wise, jobs wise, culture wise, and so forth. Next time around, I hope that we will pick two candidates who are truly better qualified for the job, guys who make sense in their approaches to running the country, and guys with true executive experience under their belts. Ex or current governors would have been much better choices, so too would have been ex-mayors as candidates, at least on the Republican side. Just look at what we have now!

All the best,

The Election Nears...

...and as you have seen the amount of my blogging the body politic has withered. Why as such a critical time approaches?

Well, first of all, I am sick of it all. It has been going on for well over a year already. If you are not sick of it all by now, then you are demented. Just the choice of candidates should be more than enough to make one sick. The only candidate whom I believe has anything on the ball, and who possibly offers some hope of a better way is Sarah Palin. I almost cannot wait until 2012.

Secondly, I already know for whom I will cast my vote. It is a no brainer. I will vote for Sarah Palin. In doing so I will also vote for her running mate, good old John Whatshisname. Can you imagine that this lackluster, lame (I mean mentally as I don't care about his physical aspects all that much), apologetic (why does he continually apologize for those who show his opponent's weakness and inability to be a good president), condescending, flip-flopping, liberal Republican is actually one of only two choices for the top position in our government! It is a disgrace. No wonder all the hoopla is following the other guy right now.

As for the other guy, that one, Barack Hussein Obama, my opinion of him his less than my opinion of McCain by a long shot. He is arrogant to extreme excess, he is a charlatan as far as I can tell, he claims to be black and is less black than an Oreo actually being mulatto, he is a friend of a radically hateful racially preacher, he is friends of another radically hateful preacher, he is friends with a known (from what I have heard) domestic terrorist (the worst kind of terrorist - one who attacks his own nation), he is married to a woman who was never proud of her country until her country or part of it was willing to adore her husband, and he thinks these associations are okay and makes excuses for these people. In addition he has alleged ties to Muslim extremism, has ties to Kenyan leaders who are certainly less than upstanding citizens, has ties to leftists kooks of all sorts who apparently support him in rabid disregard for anything fundamentally American, and he thinks that to be something good. In addition this guy reeks of communist and socialist underpinnings.

Yes I know for whom I will cast my vote. It is not by choice as much as it is by necessity born of the situation in which we find ourselves. If I had a real choice, if there was another candidate for whom I could vote, one who at least truly stood for even half of the things I believe to be important, well I would vote for him or her in a heart beat. As it is, I see my only choice as an asshole who does not even know how to use a computer. Don't tell me that is because of his war wounds either, because I can find you hundreds if not thousands of example of people much more handicapped than him who use computers; some of them without arms let alone arms that just don't work all that well. We are simply stuck with two choices that suck. Yes I know there are other choices, such as the Libertarian Bob Barr, but the guy does not have a chance. In fact all voting for him will do is to steal votes from McCain. Yes dear readers, it sucks to be stuck with an asshole maverick and a bigger asshole change for the sake of change candidate for whom to vote in our presidential elections. Sort of makes me wonder - Whatever Happened To Randolph Scott, when we need a hero to get us out of this jam. Then again folks even the heroes of silver screen couldn't save us from the mess we are in for this election! Well one of them maybe could have, and he was both an actor and a president, but he is gone now. Too bad his memory is not evoked by the candidate of my choice.

But I have digressed, so allow me to get back to my original point. There will be little, if any, political blogging by me from now to the election. Instead, I'll devote my time to watching old westerns on the tube, hoping beyond hope that a hero arises who will mount his steed in time for 2010. Why 2010, well that's when the next round of this political bullshit will begin anew if it follows suit with this campaign; I can only hope that someone will ride tall in the saddle above it all.

All the best,
Glenn B

Well The Hoopla Is Over...

...at least for now, along with all its pomp and circumstance (and there was plenty of pomp), the Democratic Convention is a thing of the past. Senator Barack Obama has accepted his party's nomination with what was probably one of the better speeches I have ever heard him give (nope i did not listen to all of it, but did listen to quite a bit of it. A know thy enemy political opposition sort of a thing there; he did and said nothing to convince me he is the right man for the presidency. As a matter of fact he convinced me more than ever that he is not the man for the job.

Now I suppose the new hoopla will begin today in that today Senator John McCain is to announce his pick for running mate, his choice of vice presidential candidate. I keep hoping beyond hope it is a certain extremely intelligent, hard working and well suited lady (you all know whom I mean) but I suppose I'll have to wait just like everyone else, until Senator McCain announces, to find out.

One note of interest, Senator McCain is a classy guy. Have you seen his latest campaign commercial. It is totally about him congratulating Barack Obama on his nomination as the opposing party's candidate. What a relief from negative campaigning that I am sure is not over yet, and certainly what seemed to be a genuine acknowledgement of accomplishment from McCain to Obama. Now though, I think, the gloves will come off and McCain will not only bloody some noses, he will whoop some ass and win an election by defeating Obama.

All the best,
Glenn B

Have You Done Your Duty As A Citizen Today?

I did mine, or at least part of mine. I went to my local polling place this morning, before work, and I voted. I sort of voted along party lines this year. I am a registered Republican, and I voted straight Republican, for all the candidates listed only as Republicans on the ballot. If they were listed as Conservative and Republican, then I voted for them as a Conservative. I am hoping it sends a message to the Republican party. I also decided not to vote for one candidate because he was listed as the candidate for the Democrats, the Republicans, and the Conservatives. That multiple party stuff, when it goes totally across the lines into another party with totally different values than mine, just does not wash with me. I could vote for, and on rare occasion have voted for, a Democrat or third parity candidate (and each time it turned out to be a mistake even though they seemed right during the election), but I will not vote for one who splits his loyalty among parties that are opposed to one another.

He gets my money...

...at least at this point of the presidential campaign process. Who, you ask! Tom Tancredo, say I.

So far I like what I have seen and heard of this man. I cannot ask you to vote for him, I cannot campaign for him, I cannot ask you to send him money (I am prevented from all that by law because of my job with the government) but I can tell you my personal opinion about him:

I like him and his stance on the issues so tonight I donated money to him via his website at: http://teamtancredo.org/

If he runs in the primaries I will vote for him in the primary in my state. As I understand it, he plans to run if his donations reach 1 million dollars by the end of this month, as per his own words on the John Gambling show, on local station 770 AM this morning.

If he is nominated in the primaries and gets the Republican nod, I will be voting for him come the election.

I believe him to be a hundred times more conservative, and therefore more Republican than McCain, Giuliani, Romney or any other Republican hopeful so far; and as a matter of fact I believe him to be 100 times the Republican all of the other hopefuls would be if they were combined. That is why I sent him a donation tonight.

You do whatever you want to do on this one, but I recommend that you go to his site and check out that for which he stands, see http://teamtancredo.org/issues.php. Then check out the other candidates too, and start to make up your own minds. Read up on him, and his past record, and try to see if he has flip-flopped like some of the other candidates who suddenly have become more conservative and more Republican than their records would indicate. This is the man for me so far. No one else comes close as far as I can see.

As a matter of fact, here is something you might miss that is on his site, on the bottom of his bio page:

"When Tom is not in Washington, you can usually find him either trap, skeet, and clay pigeon shooting, or with his grandsons, building trains, racing cars, riding bikes, or playing ball."

Yes even though not all those hobbies are similar to mine, we all know I enjoy at least one of them and I enjoy it with my son. That he shoots with his children and grandchildren makes him all that much more dear to my heart.

I'll say it again, this is the man I think should be our next president; please check him out compared to the others and see what you think.

All the best,
Glenn B
