It's Time To Gather Your Nuts!

With Autumn fast approaching it brings a chill in the air, nights come sooner and last longer then soon the snow will start falling and a chilly frost will cover the ground so it's time for the chipmunk's to gather their nuts........

The Beauty of Autumn

You know everyone's got a blog or two now and they pretty much blog about anything and everything and I want to try and be a little different although I'll probably find out later that there are 14 million blog's similar in content to this one. I've blogged on football, politics with no response or reader's so I'm just going to remain simple and frivilous and try to post a short little blog each day with something beautiful on it! An image, a poem anything that I find pleasing to view all in fun because I think we all need to have fun in our lives, we all need beauty in our lives! Yeah, I like that!

If Thats All You Got, Pack It Up And Take It Home!

I just watched another commercial paid for by the GOP and I've got to tell you I am so sick of these negative ads and the down right deceptive and even sometimes out right lies. It seems to me that the only reason you run this kind of ad is because you have nothing positive or good to offer so the best you can hope to accomplish with your feeble attempts to slander your opponent is

to gain some ground by instilling needless fear in ignorant uninformed voters. Shame on you!

If that's the best you've got to offer the American people then pack it up and take it home, I have no use for you and by your own deeds and words you have proven you have nothing good to offer me or anyone else voting in the upcoming presidential election. I'm not the only one sick and tired of these negative ads so why don't you use this time in a positive manner and tell us what you can do for us, tell us how your going to save the country, the economy. What are your views on foreign policy, the war, fuel prices. How are you going to cut the high unemployment rate, what are you going to do about health care for all the uninsured? Why don't you show us YOUR tax plans?

Don't tell me what Obama/Biden are going to do, it's not your place to speak for them and I do not recall them asking you to be a spokes person for they're campaign. And don't lie to me thinking I'm too stupid to verify facts, that I'm so ignorant as to take everything you say at face value and not seek the facts because that tells me you don't think very much of me at all! And quite frankly if that's all you think of me, if that's all you have to offer me then pack it up and take it home! No thank you.

In the ad I just saw you stated that Obama wants a massive government which he want us to paid for with higher taxes, not once have I heard Mr. Obama or Mr. Biden speak of a mass expansion of government nor raising every one's taxes to pay for it. In fact, I posted a blog which carried Mr. Obama's proposed tax plan and I'll do it again right here and now....

Obama's Tax Plan -

HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY?

Here are the FACTS:

If You Earn... Under Obama's Plan, You Pay...

Under 19,000 $567 Less

$19,000 to $38,000 $892 Less

$38,000 to $66,000 $1,042 Less

$66,000 to $112,000 $1,290 Less

$112,000 to $161,000 $2,204 Less

$161,000 to $227,000 $2,789 Less

$227,000 to $603,000 $12 More

$603,000 to $2.8 Million $115,974 More

$2.8 Million and Up $701,885 More

And I won't even bother to repeat and refute the other lies contained in the ad but what I will say is you lied to me, you disrespected me and then you ask me to trust you, I don't think so and it wasn't even a nice try. How about some straight forward honesty? Why don't you tell me what YOU can do or will do for me instead of what your opponents will do for me, if I want the answers to that I'll ask them. Well, I'm waiting.........................

Obama's Tax Plan

A friend of mine was hit with many questions regarding Obama's Tax Plan since one of the McCain/Palin Campaign slur's is that if Obama is elected everyone will pay a lot more taxes and this just isn't true. So once again the McCain/Palin campaign is trying to influence voter's with lies. Voters beware!

Obama's Tax Plan


I have received a few questions.....Is Obama Going To Raise My Taxes. As I always do, I went to a bipartisan site to get the info for you. Please Note: This does not include the capital gains tax which does not apply to you unless you have to pay capital gains (for instance, selling a house at a profit and then not buying another house to replace it).Here ya go. You asked for the truth........If this states you will pay less, it means than you pay now. If it says you will pay more, it means than you do now. This is from the tax policy center so go to their web site if you want to know who they are. Peace all. Under Obama's Tax Plan - HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY?

Gloria Steinem on Sarah Palin, Was It Sexism?

Gloria Steinem: The Sarah Palin pick: Was that sexism?YES, ON THE PART OF MCCAIN: Feminism isn't about one job for one woman. It's about making life fair for women everywhere.By GLORIA STEINEM Last update: September 7, 2008 - 12:54 PM Here's the good news: Women have become so politically powerful that even the antifeminist right wing -- the folks with a headlock on the Republican Party -- are trying to appease the gender gap with a first-ever female vice president. We owe this to women -- and to many men, too -- who have picketed, gone on hunger strikes or confronted violence at the polls so women can vote. We owe it to Shirley Chisholm, who first took the "white-male-only" sign off the White House, and to Hillary Rodham Clinton, who hung in there through ridicule and misogyny to win 18 million votes. But here is even better news: It won't work. This isn't the first time a boss has picked an unqualified woman just because she agrees with him and opposes everything most other women want and need.Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere. Selecting Sarah Palin, who was touted all summer by Rush Limbaugh, is no way to attract most women, including die-hard Clinton supporters. Palin shares nothing but a chromosome with Clinton. Her down-home, divisive and deceptive speech did nothing to cosmeticize a Republican convention that has more than twice as many male delegates as female, a presidential candidate who is owned and operated by the right wing and a platform that opposes pretty much everything Clinton's candidacy stood for -- and that Barack Obama's still does. This is not to beat up on Palin. I defend her right to be wrong, even on issues that matter most to me. I regret that people say she can't do the job because she has children in need of care, especially if they wouldn't say the same about a father. I get no pleasure from imagining her in the spotlight on national and foreign-policy issues about which she has zero background, with one month to learn to compete with Sen. Joe Biden's 37 years' experience. Palin has been honest about what she doesn't know. When asked last month about the vice presidency, she said, "I still can't answer that question until someone answers for me: What is it exactly that the VP does every day?" When asked about Iraq, she said, "I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq." She was elected governor largely because the incumbent was unpopular, and she's won over Alaskans mostly by using unprecedented oil wealth to give a $1,200 rebate to every resident. Now she is being praised by McCain's campaign as a tax cutter, despite the fact that Alaska has no state income tax or sales tax. Perhaps McCain has opposed affirmative action for so long that he doesn't know it's about inviting more people to meet standards, not lowering them. Or perhaps McCain is following the Bush administration habit, as in the Justice Department, of putting a job candidate's views on "God, guns and gays" ahead of competence. The difference is that McCain is filling a job one 72-year-old heartbeat away from the presidency. So let's be clear: The culprit is John McCain. He may have chosen Palin out of change-envy, or a belief that women can't tell the difference between form and content, but the main motive was to please right-wing ideologues; the same ones who nixed anyone who is now or ever has been a supporter of reproductive freedom. If that were not the case, McCain could have chosen a woman who knows what a vice president does and who has thought about Iraq; someone like Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison or Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine. He could have taken a baby step away from right-wing patriarchs who determine his actions. Palin's value to those patriarchs is clear: She opposes just about every issue that women support by a majority or plurality. She believes that creationism should be taught in public schools but disbelieves global warming; she opposes gun control but supports government control of women's wombs; she opposes stem cell research but approves "abstinence-only" programs, which increase unwanted births, sexually transmitted diseases and abortions; she tried to use taxpayers' millions for a state program to shoot wolves from the air but didn't spend enough money to fix a state school system with the lowest high-school graduation rate in the nation. She is Phyllis Schlafly, only younger. I don't doubt her sincerity. As a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, she doesn't just support killing animals from helicopters, she does it herself. She doesn't just echo McCain's pledge to criminalize abortion by overturning Roe vs. Wade, she says that if one of her daughters were impregnated by rape or incest, she should bear the child.So far, the major new McCain supporter that Palin has attracted is James Dobson of Focus on the Family. Of course, for Dobson, "women are merely waiting for their husbands to assume leadership," so he may be voting for Palin's husband. Being a hope-a-holic, however, I can see two long-term bipartisan gains from this contest.Republicans may learn they can't appeal to right-wing patriarchs and most women at the same time. A loss in November could cause the centrist majority of Republicans to take back their party, which was the first to support the Equal Rights Amendment and should be the last to want to invite government into the wombs of women. And American women, who suffer more because of having two full-time jobs than from any other single injustice, finally have support on a national stage from male leaders who know that women can't be equal outside the home until men are equal in it. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are campaigning on their belief that men should be, can be and want to be at home for their children.

This could be huge.

Gloria Steinem is an author, feminist organizer and cofounder of the Women's Media Center. She supported Hillary Rodham Clinton and is now supporting Barack Obama.

Pictures Of The Biggest Political Rally In Alaska's History!

The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palin's rally that got all the national media coverage! So take heart, sit back, and enjoy the photo gallery. Feel free to spread the pictures around to anyone who needs to know that Sarah Palin most definitely does not speak for all Alaskans.The citizens of Alaska , who know her best, have things to say.A bunch of pictures of that rally:THE PRESS WILL ONLY SHOW WHAT ITS PAID TOO.....CARRY YOUR

CAMERA EVERY WHERE

Every Picture Tells A Story

For the most part I don't participate in politic's, this presidential election I have been more out spoken and active than I ever have because I believe this is the most important election of my life. Bush has damaged this country in so many ways it would take a novel to list and elaborate on them. They say a single picture can speak a 1000 words so what do these pictures say to you...........

To elect McCain into office would be the same as if George Bush was elected to a 3rd term, you cannot be so foolish as to not realize this, it's just too obvious! And it seems to me that McCain has foresaken his integrity and ethic's in an effort to win this election as whatever the cost. I love the way a friend of mine put it, McCain had remarked that this campaign was about personalities and he must have felt he needed to have one so in steps Sarah Palin and between the two of them I can't keep up with the lies and the bull @$!.
Palin is scary at best first of all she is for prayer in schools, against gay marriage, against a woman's right to chose, against equal pay for equal work, against sex education which teaches anything except abstinence which if it wasn't so sad and ignorant it would be funny! (see photo upper right)

She never gave Iraq much thought! Doesn't believe mankind is responsible for global warming, in fact, she's not even sure it's a problem! Palin was originally a main proponent of the bridge to nowhere, McCain-Palin television advertisements claim Palin "stopped the Bridge to Nowhere". In 2006, Palin ran for governor on a "build-the-bridge" platform, attacking "spinmeisters" for insulting local residents by calling them "nowhere" and urging speed "while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist, "About two years after the introduction of the bridge proposals, a month after the bridges received sharp criticism from John McCain, and nine months into Palin's term as governor, Palin canceled the Gravina Bridge, blaming Congress for not providing enough funding.

I am asking ALL voter's to get your facts straight and seek the truth before you cast your vote. One of the things that really disturbs me with the lies and distortion's is that McCain/Palin are counting on us not to check the facts, not to be informed citizen's that we are gullible and ignorant and will choose to remain that way. I have only touched on the tip of the iceberg regarding the "truth" about the McCain/Palen campaign, I hope you will take some time and do some research of your own, I challenge everyone voting in the up coming presidential election to learn more about it, don't prove those two right! Show that your NOT gullible, you will NOT remain ignorant to the facts and you will NOT base you vote on campaign propaganda.
It's no secret, I'm a democrat, a liberal and a strong supporter of the Obama/Biden campaign but thats not the reason I am speaking out so much this election. I am speaking out because I have watched our great nation suffer at the hands of the Bush administration for 8 years now, the effects have been and continue to be devastating to this country. The war in Iraq, the economy, at one time the world loved us now most of them hate us, our jobs are being sent overseas and often the moves are paid for with government money! How about that one, our government doesn't want to help out our poor, homeless and jobless but they will help corporations relocated to foreign countries for cheaper operating costs then the products are sold back to Americans at outragiously high prices and then they are recalled for one reason or another! Look at whats happening in the real estate market, the financial markets.

All I am asking is that you open your eyes and see things as they really are, see the canidates for who they really are. It is time for a change in this country, it is overdue in fact and to elect McCain/Palin would be to choose more of what we have had to endure the last 8 years. For the first time in the history of this country a succeeding generation of Americans will not and have not had a better quality of life than their predisessors. Mr. McCain, our economy is NOT doing well! EVERDAY IN THIS COUNTRY CHILDREN ARE STILL STARVING TO DEATH! It IS time for a change, cast your vote for a better way, a better life, for Obama/Biden
Show the world that Truth & Justice are still the American way, cast your vote wisely, please.........................
