Debate Bias

So, I watched the debate last night, all I heard was a lot of blah, blah, blah - both said the same smarmy stuff they've been, neither hit it out of the park.

As I've said before, Obama scares me folks. He talks great - I will give him that but he has no substance at all. He doesn't have any foreign policy experience, and as much as admitted it, though not yesterday. He thinks we can mandate health care - because it is a right - sorry folks, I scanned the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, I even re-read the Gettysburg Address to see if we hid it there - but alas, health care is not a right.

He thinks throwing money into the cosmos will "create jobs." He's still smoking crack right? He thinks he can bully you into believing that we are losing the war on terror - oh that is right, he is a thug so why not. He thinks that "alternative fuel sources" are the absolute answer - but therein lies the problem.

We are DEPENDENT on foreign petroleum products, some from hostile nations, some not. But, we are dependent. We do not have adequate alternative technologies to replace that dependence on oil. It will take time, resources, crafty peoples etc . . . to get there. We are not there yet. Ethanol is expensive and though a fuel source, not useful for much else except depleting our food supply. Cellulosic ethanol is also expensive, depletes our resources, though it does not deplete our food supply, it is only a fuel source. Then there is biodiesel - also good, also expensive, but it doesn't deplete anything, still just fuel. So what are we going to pave our roads with? What are we going to make plastics and fabrics and other petrol based products with? We've not yet come up with an alternative that is inexpensive, expansive and does not deplete necessary resources. Until we do, we remain dependent on petrol. Until we do, we remain at the mercy of those petrol dollars - now, we lessen that to some extent, though we do not cure it, by drilling here and drilling now. I am sick of Obama making the suggestion that if we just vote for alternative energy sources now, it will be ok. We cannot and will not, even if we chose to do so right this second, end our dependence on petroleum products. It will be gradual and maybe not even until I am well old and gray.

Obama can shove a green stick up his enlightened arse! Because seriously, that is his plan. Stick it to us to prove a point.

And McCain? He wants to buy up mortgages to protect us? Seriously? Shove that pandering idea back into the blow-hole from whence it came.

I am voting McCain. Don't get me wrong - but I'm voting McCain because the alternative is a nightmare.

Don't be misled by the media folks - Obama is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Besides, the media? They have a dog in the fight and their bias is crystal clear.

A dear friend of mine sat on an MSNBC panel for the debate last night and here is what he had to say . . .

Anybody who says that Fox News is biased should stop and take a look at MSNBC. Their coverage of the debate was more lopsided than anything I have ever seen on Fox. They had the panel come in and sit down left to right in the seats with Democrats first, Independents next, and Republicans last. The Dems. outnumbered the Republicans. When they asked the panel on air questions, all they filmed was from the vantage point of the Independents over to the Dems. - no Republicans. So, when they asked the panel if they thought Obama won the debate, on TV you saw most of the hands go up. When they asked if you thought McCain won the debate, you hardly saw any hands at all because they didn't film the Republicans. They recorded our thoughts in real time with a number dial that we held in our hands. If we agreed with what a candidate was saying we dialed a bigger number, if we didn't, we dialed a lower number. The 3 segments that they showed on on TV after the debate all showed Obama in a better light, and I believe that was on purpose. I also saw many of the people from MSNBC talking with panel members before the debate and you could hear the bias in what they were saying and how they were agreeing with panel members when they were talking bad about McCain. When I went home, I watched some of MSNBC coverage and I have to say Chris Matthews' bias makes Sean Hannity look like Switzerland.

And there you have it. Obama is the Messiah of change to the media and those of you too intellectually stilted to see through it all. Do your research folks, Obama is scary - scary bad like zombies or vampires . . . and he intends to feed off us responsible folks to pander to the irresponsible. God save us all.

The scariest thing about this is, right now, Obama is winning. And will win unless he does something stupid or McCain can pull off another miracle. McCain has to do more promoting of himself as opposed to tearing down Obama. And convince people it's not going to be four more years of the same old thing.

It's going to get scarier before it's over...

All hail Her Royal Highness, Queen Oddy! I'd go for that! :)

And yeah, I'm voting against obama, not for McCain.

I was a registered libertarian for some time, I actually voted for Harry Brown (one of the 48 people in the state)

Anywho...I learned at that time, it was a wasted vote...

I am voting against Barack.

I love Palin,

McCain, does not have a good gun record. and what is the shit...with the wanting to buy everyones devalued property?
