    Obama - Protecting Union Bosses



    This last debate was the only one I watched. If you listened you heard the following exchange regarding Free Trade:

    Senator McCain:

    And also the country that just freed three Americans that will help us create jobs in America because they will be a market for our goods and products without having to pay -- without us having to pay the billions of dollars -- the billion dollars and more that we've already paid.

    Free trade with Colombia is something that's a no-brainer. But maybe you ought to travel down there and visit them and maybe you could understand it a lot better.

    Barack Obama:

    Let me respond. Actually, I understand it pretty well. The history in Colombia right now is that
    labor leaders have been targeted for assassination on a fairly consistent basis and there have not been prosecutions.

    And what I have said, because the free trade -- the trade agreement itself does have labor and environmental protections, but we have to stand for human rights and we have to make sure that violence isn't being perpetrated against workers who are just trying to organize for their rights...

    What Barack Obama is saying is if union leaders and union workers are put on one side of a scale and America is put on the other side of the scale he will side with the union. You heard it with your own ears and if you want to read the transcript of the entire debate then do so here.

    I've been warning of this union loving, union puppet for months and finally he lays his policy of union preference over America's interest right on national TV.

    Barack Obama chooses to protect union bosses and union workers over American jobs.

    Barack Obama claims unions are a global "human right" - over the interests of America.

    Barack Obama chooses to protect union bosses and union workers in other countries over America's economy.

    Politicians Will Destroy America

    Ok, so 15 out of the 19 hijackers of 9/11 were Saudis - in other words, most all of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Today it was announced that President Bush has notified the Democrat-controlled Congress of their intent to sell $20 Billion in weapons, including precision-guided bombs, to the Saudis. We have total idiots in government, on both sides of the isle.

    America is once again forcing the game in Muslim-ville, trying to empower the majority of Sunni Muslims in Saudi to stand up against the predominately Shiite Muslims of Iran. You know the story - both Republicans and Democrats are wasting American lives and resources in Iraq to empower the Sunni Muslims in that country. Like everything else the US government interferes with, this too will come back to haunt us.



    America is having some serious financial problems. Last week I watched the Republican debate held in Myrtle Beach. Every candidate, except one, outright refused to say the USA was in any kind of recession. Let's review some stupidity (all just identified with Reagan without any original thoughts - except for Ron Paul):

    Huckabee: He hopes we're not headed for a recession (he doesn't know). If we do go into a recession he blames oil prices and sub-prime mortgages.

    Giuliani: He doesn't know if we are or not and we need the way of Ronald Reagan back in control. In other words, he had no original ideas.

    McCain: Didn't know if we were in a recession or not and proudly declared "I'm proud to have been a member of the Reagan revolution, a foot soldier" and proceeded to reference Reagan in various ways.

    Thompson: Made sure everyone knew Giuliani's plan based on Reaganomics was the same as his plan. He didn't state any solution, just stated current facts. Not a single vision of less government regulations.

    Ron Paul: The only one with guts to say "I believe we're in a recession" was the statement from Ron Paul.
    I think it's going to get a lot worse if we continue to do the wrong things that we've done in the past, that it's going to be delayed, just as what happened in the Depression... But you have to understand that over-stimulation in an economy by artificially low interest rates by the Federal Reserve is the source of the recession...
    Dr. Paul was the only one with intelligent answers, didn't use Reagan as an answer, and knew the problems and what would need to be the solutions.

    The full transcript is here.



    I elect Huckabee as the most dangerous presidential candidate. This crazed liberal ex-minister wants to show the gates of hell to anyone that dares threaten our war ships even if we are skimming the borders of countries where we shouldn't be (referring initially to the Iran speedboat incident).

    Ron Paul's intelligence overruled the ignorance and war mongering of Huckabee when he said:
    They could take care of those speedboats in about five seconds. And here we're ready to start World War III over this?

    And now, guess what, today, the Navy commander of the Fifth Fleet was on ABC and announced that, you know, that voice might not have come from those vessels. So what does that mean?Was there a rush to judgment on this, ready to go to war?

    And you know there are people in this administration and in Washington, D.C., that are looking for the chance.They were so disappointed with the national estimate on intelligence. And they were disappointed that there's no attempt to build weapons in Iran since 2003.

    Fox News Dumps "Fair and Balanced"

    My respect for Fox News continues to diminish, and their unfair and unbalanced decision to ban Ron Paul from yesterday's Republican NH primary debate shows how manipulative they have become.

    Add to this Fox News has deliberately modified news stories and censored out Ron Paul's name is, to me, no different from the antics or Dan Rather. At least with Mr. Rather the deception and lies were confined to one or two people, but with Fox News, it appears as if it is company policy to be unfair, to lie, to be unbalanced, and to manipulate.

    From his first radio ad:
    Who is Ron Paul, the Republican candidate for president? Ron Paul served his country as a flight surgeon after the Cuban missile crisis. As a young doctor, Ron Paul worked nights in the emergency room of an inner-city hospital, taking care of everyone, whether they could pay or not. As an ob/gyn, Ron Paul delivered over 4,000 babies.

    Dr. Ron Paul knows our health care system needs real change, where patients and doctors are in charge, not big corporations or government bureaucrats.

    As a congressman for almost 2 decades, Ron Paul knows our Constitution is there to protect our freedom and limited government. He has never voted for a tax increase or an unbalanced budget.

    His record clearly shows he will cut taxes and stop runaway spending. People who know him call him the taxpayer's best friend.



    By the way, Fred Thompson said if he finished poorly in Iowa Caucuses, he would drop out of the presidential race and throw his support behind John McCain. How could Fred Thompson say he's so conservative if his choice for support is THE MOST liberal RINO - John McCain?

    Think you Thompson fans better think again! DUH!

    NOTE: For those that have a problem accepting the link source consider this FACT - Thompson and McCain are old buddies. Thompson endorsed McCain in the presidential primaries back in 2000 and Thompson was his national co-chairman. McCain was as liberal back then as he is now, and Thompson threw his full support to McCain.
