Election of 2008: A Choice of Roosevelts

November 25th, 2008 – 8:24 am Posted by TK

Now that the memorable election of 2008 is over, it may be time to do a quick analysis.  Throughout the election, I spoke often about how McCain reminded me of a new TR (Theodore Roosevelt).  But as the election cycle wore on, I also saw that Obama had all of the feel and politics of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

PACs Pick Up The Pace

September 30th, 2008 – 9:00 am Posted by Lisa Stauber

Political Action Committees (PACs) are allowed under the new regulations, provided that the committees do not coordinate with any campaign receiving federal funds.

September 24th, 2008 – 9:00 am Posted by Chris

Clive Crook of the Financial Times and the Atlantic Monthly nails it on the head:
Democrats speak up for the less prosperous; they have well-intentioned policies to help them; they are disturbed by inequality, and want to do something about it. Their concern is real and admirable. The trouble is, they lack respect for the objects [...]
