For the first time in my long life I find myself cheering for a democrat. Go Hill Go!!! The very thought of that beautiful black man, that vision of virtue, that orator without peer, standing beside our old war horse McCaine or our stiff Romney, just scares the hell out of me. He would win in a walk. A fifty state election I believe. This is the kind of man capable of making the democrat party the majority for two generations. Thank God for Hill and Bill. They will be the people who will shut down all this nonsense before it gets out of hand. Just think the people who told us they were sent from God with the message are keeping the real messenger from delivering the Lords true words. The people who proclaimed themselves the people God sent to free the black people are trying to keep a negro in his place. Ironic isn't it. God bless Hill and Bill! Go Hill and Bill! You are our only prayer. You are the Republicans only hope.

Don't make me vote for Barrack
There was a time in Florida when a black man was counted as 3/5 of a human being. Democrats being democrats have now managed to reduce Floridians white and black to 1/2 a human being. Congradulations, no other group of people on earth could have done such a dumb thing and called it fair and just.
This is why I could never be a Democrat. I always want to be a whole person. One man with one vote. John McCain will win the sunshine state by 200,000 votes. Hillary would have probably beaten him by the same amount if she had been treated fairly.

Will liberals never learn. Government has no more power to stop the activities that they say are causing global climate change than you do to stop an influenza epidemic. Government can only get in the way of reasonable change. Democratic government will always bending to the will of the voters. If the voters choose not to save themselves and the planet their representative will yield to them rather than loose his power and prestige. The only hope for you liberals is to trust the one thing you cannot trust, the natural pressure of market economics. It is this single force which will move things faster than anything else in our lives. With the advent of $4.00 gas my family has already started changing their ways. Not because a government forced their hand, but because economic pressures have brought a dicipline they cannot afford to ignore. Instead of continuing to drive gas guzzling Range Rovers, we have put our SUV's in the parking garage and have turned to tiny little Fords and Chevrolets that get 35 mph.
Oil burning furnaces are being replaced with log burning stoves. Ceiling fans are being cleaned, floor fans purchased, so that we can turn our thermostats up and keep the A/C off. Old canners are being gotten out of the storage, along with Ball jars as we prepare to return to home canning. All of these things are being done without a single instruction from a President or a Congress. All over America, people are driving less, eating out less, and in general slowing down the economy to a more leisurely pace. All without one word from Washington. No cap in trade. No carbon offsets. Just good old supply and demand at work.
What we need now is for the liberals and their instrument of distruction to get out of the way so the market can attack our lack of affordable energy with sane, profitable answers.
The last great economic miracle was the "information age". Even with all the problems it created freely elected governments and even liberals would consider any form of regulation on the machinery or the internet that carries the message.
Now we have moved into the next great economic paradigm. The energy age. We don't have to plan it, hold it up with excessive regulation. Let it come. If "necessity is the mother of invention" then we are in safe hands if we trust the market. Solar, wind, atomic, coal, oil, natural gas, bio mass, and things we never heard of are going to be part of our future as long as we don't let government have any role in it.
I promise.
