When was the last time you compared what your candidates promised during their campaigns, with what they actually delivered once in office???
The answers may surprise you, and is the main reason that the problems that they have promised to solve year after year, have not only not been solved, but are now problems of epidemic proportions.

Good Morning America!
I would like to publicly respond to Hillary’s comments about Barack Obama’s comments on the disillusionment and disgust of the working class in America.
First of all, I have said time and time again, that a common man or common woman cannot run for president of the United States of America, because of the way that the political system is set up.
Therefore, all three presidential candidates are elitist, simply because of the fact that they have obtained the means and cleared all of the hurdles that one must clear in order to make a serious run for President of the United States. And, the fact that they have arrived as a serious candidate for the presidency indicates that they were already in the political loop, which means that they are all professional politicians who are well connected, and they all are in fact elitist, and not common men and woman.
So cut the crap Hillary, you are no less an elitist then Barack Obama, or John McCain, because remember America, the common workingman or woman, cannot run for president.
So don’t be fooled by Hillary’s rhetoric America.
Hillary is just doing what she has been caught doing since the beginning of her campaign.
She has been embellishing, exaggerating, and just plain lying about so many issues. And I just hope that there are enough Americans who are seeing through all of this, so that they can make an informed decision on November 4, 2008, and not a decision based on the deception of a professional politician.
Hillary is business as usual. She practices the kind of politics that the average American has been brainwashed into accepting as normal. And it will remain acceptable as the norm until the American public decides to do what is necessary in order to change this.
This change can be accomplished by keeping track of what the politicians are doing verses what they are saying, and publicly calling them out on it. If we become vigilant in doing this, many things would have to change for the better.
Now that we know that Obama is an elitist also, how do we tell how he differs from Hillary Clinton?
First of all, Obama has made many mistakes in judgments, and I think that he has effectively addressed them, as I see him trying to do with this latest statement about the working class in America; which his opponents have began programming the American public to view as condescending as opposed to being true.
However, for every mistake that Hillary has made, she has either denied that she made the mistake in the first place, or she has covered it up with a lie, which leads to another lie, and so forth and so on.
Hillary has been in attack mode since the beginning of the campaign.
Obama has only been aggressive in response to these attacks, and in spite of these attacks, he has respectfully defended his character, his views, his policies, and his plans for America.
Hillary has shown by her sneaky behavior, her lies, her personality changes, and her attempt to become someone different whenever the occasion calls for it, that she thinks that the American people are stupid. Every time she commits one of these treacherous and deceitful acts, she is indeed insulting your intelligence.
Obama respects and believes in the intelligence of the American People, as indicated by his positive demeanor, which he has maintained in many types of situations, be they positive or negative.
Hillary continues to refuse to address all of the money that her and her husband made during his presidency, which many consider to be excessive and suspicious. She would rather deflect those questions with empty words that do not address the issue, rather then answering the question.
No wonder you held out on releasing those tax returns for so long Hillary.
All of Barack Obama’s real estate, tax, and business transactions have been explained and laid out for the American public to see.
Finally, Hillary Clinton has received very large sums of money from lobbyist, who do not offer this kind of financial support for a candidate unless they expect a huge return on their investment. And it is important to note that, most of the time, these favors that our politicians do to repay these lobbyist are usually not things that will benefit the American people.
We already have someone in the Whitehouse that has used his tenure as president to repay lobbyist for all of the money and favors that were done for him, in order to have him elected and reelected again, which is the job of a professional politician, when they are practicing the business as usual politics. And the evidence is clear that these decisions have not benefited the American people.
Obama has started a grassroots movement from the ground up, (unlike any that I have ever seen in all my days).
The people of the United States are funding Obama’s campaign. These are people who are sincerely interested in seeing a change for the better in our government. So he owes more to these people then he does to special interest groups and lobbyist.
With Hillary, it is business as usual. So her loyalties will be heading in another direction altogether, if she is elected as president.
A quick note about John McCain: At the present time, we have allocated so many of our resources; financial, equipment, and human lives to one area of the world (Iraq), which has been shown to not be a clear and present danger. We are stretched so thin that we have now had to ask other countries to assist in our war efforts with Iraq. These actions by the current president have actually made us more vulnerable to terrorist’s attacks, and attacks by other countries.
We have very little resources for natural and other disasters here at home in America, because all of our equipment and the soldiers who’s job it is to carry out these function are over in Iraq.
The stock market and the economy, have been unable to bounce back with any consistency because of this, and will not show any signs of improvement until the current administration is gone. Wall Street, and Main Street, is afraid, and uncertain about the future at the present time.
If you want more of this, then vote for John McCain in order to have a continuation of the George Bush Administration.
Here is my warning to you America:
Anyone who will say or do anything, (rather it is true or not), to be elected President of the United States, will say or do anything to keep the office once elected. This will be true rather their actions benefit America or not.
This is what you have now.
Is this what you want next?
Hello America!
The national presidential elections are in full swing; which means it is time to take a deep breath of fresh air, (while there is still some fresh air left), put on your oxygen mask, and hold on tight for the ride that we are about to be taken on over the next few months.
I know that those who are hip to the game know what politics are all about. But, for those who buy into the myth that it’s all about truth, justice, and the American Way, and is done only for the benefit of all Americans are still asleep.
What politics is about is bullshit.
It’s about who can sling the most bullshit with the least detection of stench. And there is so much bullshit, that it is spreads throughout the entire system on all levels of government: municipal, state, federal, and now they are even spreading it into other people’s business in other people’s countries, (to our detriment); so now there is so much of it that it is now stinking internationally.
So if you are hoping for an election year that you don’t have to hold your breath for, then you are not in the right place. Because as long as we have elections, and the people running in those elections don’t really care about the people that they claim to represent, or the issues that they have to live with on a daily basis, you are going to be smelling bullshit.
Now the question becomes, what type of bullshit do you want to settle for? Because as I have said many times before, you are probably not going to get to choose an honest common man, or woman for president, who truly understands what common people are dealing with on a daily basis: the drugs, the crime, the violence, living from paycheck to paycheck, being discriminated against when you apply for a small business loan from the many so called small business assistance entities, unemployment, foreclosure, etc. etc. etc.
Oh they will come to your church (election time), to give the impression that they like being with you, and that they are just one of the members of the congregation who normally attend.
They will go to hospitals and nursing homes, and work with the sick to make you believe that this is what they have been doing long before the elections.
(Are there still people in America that fall for this bullshit?) – Probably more then you would want to believe.
They will do all of this bullshit to make you think that they are just common everyday working class people. However, let me tell you something in case you don’t know; a common working person cannot run for president, because of the system requirements and the financial requirements. First you have to be a professional politician- (bullshit Artist), and you also have to be well connected to the many special interest groups that give these politicians millions and millions so that they can run for president. (You know, the special interest groups that politicians say are so evil during the elections), the same groups who give them money for their campaigns behind closed doors. Yea! -Those groups.
The only time that these people try to appear to be a common man or woman is around election time.
And this My Fellow Americans is bullshit.
So after very careful and diligent, intellectual analysis, I have divided the 3 leading contenders into 3 different categories, and it will be up to you to decide who is who, and whose bullshit you are willing to smell for the next 4 years.
And the nominees for President of The United States of America are:
Ancient Bullshit
Same Old Bullshit
New Bullshit
What type of bullshit can you tolerate for the next 4 years?
No matter who you choose, you can depend on one thing, you’re going to get bullshit. Why? – Because the American Public has been conditioned to think that this is okay. It’s just the way it is.
And until the American People realize that just because this is the way that it has been, does not mean that it is good for the country.
Until we start calling our politicians out on this bullshit, and bring it to the attention of our fellow Americans who are still asleep-This situation will remain the same, as it has for far too long.

A make you think song about our politicians.
When was the last time that you compared what your candidates promised during their campaigns, with what they actually delivered once in office???
The answers may surprise you, and is the main reason that the problems that they have promised to solve year after year, have not only not been solved, but are now problems of epidemic proportions.
Think About It!
The last officially scheduled dabate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was completed last night. And, I must say that after 19 debates, things became a little redundent at certain times, but that is to be expected after doing something 20 times.
But inspite of this redudency, I think that the debate was quite informative and very entertaining..
I dont think that we learned very much that was not already known by those who have been following the battle between Barack and Hillary. However, if nothing else was achieved, I think that each candidate did an excellent job of defining and confirming who they are as presidential candidates, and I think that this is very important considering the fact that the last rounds of important primary elections are right around the corner.
I will not say who I think won the debate last night; (that will be up to you, based on your opinions of the 2 candidates performance last night). But I will say this: One candidate had a considerable verbal advantage of the other, and did seem to out shine the other candidate.
One more thing!-The debate, (in my opinion), was the best show on tv last night. We had drama, suspense, humor, disclosure, closure, and many other exciting elements that are missing from a large number of the regularly scheduled shows.
So here’s my question to you: Who won the presidential debate last night:
Barack Obama, or Hillary Clinton.?

Hello America.........
Tonight, many honest hard working Americans will be watching the presidential debate, trying to make the best decisions that they hope will change the conditions in this country for the better.
I just thought that I would share some of my thoughts on how I see it, with you.
I will not be recommending a candidate.
I will not recommend a party.
Because I don't see very many differences between parties or between the average politician.
I still maintain, that the candidates are merely pawns that are plugged into the system by those who hold the true power, and are told what they better do, or better not do. Do it right, and you gain favor. Do it wrong, and you get, well!- you get JFK.
There is major evidence to support this view point within the current administration.
The american citizens opinions are totally ignored, and not even considered when it comes to making important decisions that affect us all.
Instead, this administration is being directed in it's actions by the people who paid for the services that led to George Bush being elected as president of the United States, twice.
So I will try to give you something to consider while you are doing your analysis of tonight's debate; not about a particular party or candidate, but about the system overall.
Common Knowledge Verses Uncommon Knowledge
What is common knowledge?
What is uncommon knowledge?
Common knowledge is the knowledge that you received in the school system, on the job, on television, on radio, in the newspapers, from politicians, and from people who received it from the previously mentioned sources
Do you know who is watching you at the top of the pyramid on the dollar bill?
Do you know within what section of this pyramid the president and other politicians are in?
I guess you do know where the common everyday working people are on this pyramid?. –(at the bottom)
It's the knowledge that those who do not look any deeper accept as the truth, although it does not have to be, and in most cases, is most likely not.
It is what most people take to their graves as the most reliable information that you could possibly receive as an earth bound being..
For people who discontinue their learning after they complete school; this stuff is fact.
Some examples are:
All men are created equal, although I believe this is true as far as GOD is concerned, (or whatever you call the force that created the universe). However, when it comes to public policy in this country, this concept is often times lost.
That everyone in one political party is less evil then everyone in another.
That the government is by the people, for the people, and of the people.
That corporations, The Health Care Industry, Politicians and other government officials, have your best interest at heart, that wars are fought just for truth, justice, and protecting the american way, (it's more like protecting someone's wealth)- that there is no such thing as intellegent life elsewhere, (this is mathematically impossible), and that the white house and the president is the most powerful authority in America
Yea Right!
Uncommon knowledge is the knowledge that you obtain through other means, in addition to the sources that are placed before you, or in other words, (hidden in plain sight).
This is one of the most effective deceptive tools used to keep the general population in check, and ignorant to some truths that may not benefit the powers that be, should they be uncovered.
Secrets like, the fact that just a few people are really in control of the masses, and that they control oil prices, food prices, legal legislation, the prescription drugs your doctor gives you, the curriculum that your doctors are trained with, the chemicals that will be put in food, and called a "food product", and other important elements that determine the quality of life for the majority of people and their families in the world. You see!-Government is for sale to the highest bidders. (conspircy theories?)-What do you think lobbyist do? They represent the major financial interest of some of the most powerful people and corporations on this earth.
They buy votes, public policy, cover ups, wars, legal legislation, genocide; etc, etc,etc.
As a matter of fact, the reason that it is so hard for the average person to reach for the stars is the fact that those at the top, pass laws so that they can stay at the top by themselves.
Did you know that Congressman do every day legally, what the average citizen would be jailed for in federal prison.
It's called "insider trading". It is illegal for the average citizen to utilize inside information in order to profit in the stock market. However, congressman get this information on a daily basis, and because they are congressman, they can use this information for profit .
Think insider trading is a joke? Ask Martha Stewart!
The difference is: If we did this, we would not be able to walk back into our lives so easily, and be a star on television, as a matter of fact, the average joe may have trouble getting a job cleaning toilets after this federal offence.
So why am I telling you this?-just to give you something to think about as you try to decipher the rhetoric and bull that you will be hearing in the coming months from the truth , and to share some of the things that I have learned with you, so that you will begin to pay attention to some of the things that we have all been trained to overlook on a daily basis. I also hope that you will be adequately prepared when you walk into the booth in November 2008. The only way to do this is through knowledge.
And finally!-because knowledge is power, and in case you have not noticed, the government is becoming more involved with more and more decisions that used to be of a very personal nature. If people are not alert, how far do you think this trend will go in a "Free Country".
Keep your eyes and ears open, so that you may be one of the few that can discover a way to maintain the level of freedom in this country that our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and friends are supposedly dying for in Iraq
