You Win Some, You Lose Some

November 18th, 2008 – 8:11 am Posted by Joe Lawrence

November has been a tough month for me.  My favorite fighter, Randy Couture was laid out in the second round by a fighter with virtually no MMA experience.  Likewise, the very experienced John McCain was beaten down by Barack Obama.
It is no secret who I wanted to win this competition.  Obama has had no significant political achievement…until [...]

Last Chance for No-bama!

It appears this will be my last stab at the man who has done nothing except give good speeches and provide “hope” before he is my new boss According to the polls, Obama should win. I am desperately hanging onto that margin of error. I am convinced even more he is the wrong man.
I [...]

Herself.
That is the opinion of several media pundits, and also one of our writers.  Recently, he posted an article with advise for John McCain’s presidential campaign, specifically on letting his running mate be who she is.

I am Confused…

October 21st, 2008 – 9:00 am Posted by Joe Lawrence

With less than two weeks left in this campaign season, I am still not 100% positive on my choice for president.  There are really tough questions that I am faced with.  One, is Obama really this courier of hope or is he going to run our country even further into the ground?
For starters, I have [...]

Backs Against Wall

October 14th, 2008 – 9:00 am Posted by Joe Lawrence

My least favorite years are election years. For the course of a year we have to listen to all the bickering between these politicians while they run for the primaries. Then once the parties settle on candidates it all starts over again for the presidential race. All the while, they sling mud at one another.  Why?
Before [...]

A Vote for the Home Team

Who are you voting for this election year? Now for the more important question, why? There are many people who vote for a candidate based solely on conditions like party or affiliation. They are not truly informed about the issues and who would be the best leader. This is the equivalent of rooting on a [...]

Stuck in the Middle

September 16th, 2008 – 9:00 am Posted by Joe Lawrence

Election years are stupid! Every four years the American public is forced to listen to politicians talk about how good they are. We get to hear them make promises that we are certain they will not keep. The main thing that happens to me is utter confusion.
Let us start with a little background. I was [...]

2004: Bush over Kerry
Barack Obama is clearly the [...]

Third One’s a Charm!

August 19th, 2008 – 9:00 am Posted by Lisa Stauber

Although the nominees are not official, it’s pretty much a given that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president, and John McCain will be the Republican’s pick. What’s a poor voter to do, however, if one hates them both equally?

Vote for a third party candidate! Third party candidates have a long and storied [...]

Are Catholics the New Soccer Moms?

July 30th, 2008 – 10:50 am Posted by Lisa Stauber

During the 90’s, the Presidential campaigns began courting a new voting bloc: The Soccer Mom. Democratic nominee Bill Clinton was sure that if he could get the moms in minivans to turn out and vote, he would win – and he was right.

There seems to be a new demographic ready to cast the swing vote, [...]
