If McCain wins this election, he has a lot of people to thank. But the main one is the media, the liberal media, to be exact.
Allow me to explain.
John McCain BSP(before Sarah Palin) was just another old white dude politician. He was drenched in the stench of George Bush. He was the typical Capitol Hill crony that a lot of people did not want to see in office. He was labeled as the same old same old.
Barrack Obama was the young upstart, the underdog going up against big bad Washington D.C. He was leading in every imaginable poll, by a lot.
Let us fast forward to ASP(after Sarah Palin). John McCain, or somebody in his circle, made the smartest decision that could be made. They picked a young, out of nowhere upstart of their own. It was an attractive, down to earth woman that wasn't afraid to stand up to anybody. Every man's fantasy is a sports loving hottie with a sailor's mouth. Well at least where I come from. Sarah Palin has a lot of those qualities.
All of a sudden, the media, the loonie Hollywood idiots and Obama's camp were terrified. McCain had a bona fide superstar in his corner. A woman. A liberal's dream...minus her beliefs of course. They had to do something about this.
The campaign was on.
A funny thing happened though. The more the liberal media dug up stories, made up lies and attacked her family, the more McCain's poll numbers rose. The more Matt Damon, Lindsey Lohan and all the other Hollywood idiots tried to force their opinions on us, the more McCain's poll numbers rose.
Their campaign is backfiring. America loves underdogs. The most popular movies are the Rocky movies(all except 5). The media has succeeded into turning McCain/Palin into underdogs. Everyday you turn on the Communist News Network(CNN), they are bashing Palin or her family and putting Obama on a pedestal.
Now they are all screaming, "FOCUS ON THE ISSUES." Their memories are short though, because not too long ago they were just focusing on Obama's iconic status. Its not working, so now, they are trying a new tactic. It's the same thing that the media, and the so called black leaders always try...racism. They are attempting to guilt American's into voting for Obama.
The sad thing. I was going to vote for Obama until the media and Hollyweird put a huge spotlight on what is wrong with politics. Now I will cast my vote for McCain.

This is a story out of Philadelphia, but it should be getting national media coverage. I assume it's not because all parties are black, or there are no celebrities involved.
Andrea Kelly,39, is being charged with murder in the death of 14-year-old Danieal Kelly. It was in her Parkside house that Danieal's emaciated body was found. Danieal, who suffered from cerebral palsy, was reportedly kept in a dark room because her mother was embarrassed to take her outside. Danieal died two years ago of starvation while lying in her own feces, with flies buzzing around her mouth and maggot-infested bedsores ravaging her skeletal back.
These four have also been criminally charged in connection with Danieal's death: the now-fired DHS caseworkers Dana Poindexter and Laura Sommerer, and two people who worked at MultiEthnic - one of its founders, Mickal Kamuvaka, and Julius Murray. MultiEthnic was an outside agency that DHS assigned to handle Danieal's case.
Poindexter had allegedly failed to investigate at least five abuse or neglect complaints regarding Danieal and had kept a file on her family at the bottom of a box filled with food wrappers and unopened mail.
Now for the even more despicable part.
The media has done such a marvelous job of throwing the blame solely at the feet of DHS and MultiEthnic, that it has pulled the scum from the bottoms of the ocean - ambulance chasing lawyers.
The parents of the 14-year-old, Danieal Kelly, who face criminal charges in connection with her death, have now also filed a lawsuit against their criminal co-defendants, blaming them for the girl's demise.
The scumbag civil attorneys, Brian Mildenberg and Eric Zajac, who filed the civil suit, contended yesterday that it would be wrong to paint Daniel and Andrea Kelly as money-grubbers.
"The parents are not seeking any money from this," Mildenberg said. "The potential beneficiaries are the brothers and sisters and the parents, but the parents may be disqualified by a conviction or a civil finding of abandonment."
If a jury decides that the estate should get money, Orphans Court would decide who the beneficiaries would be, the attorneys said. They said that Daniel and Andrea Kelly had to be named as administrators of the estate because they are Danieal's parents. They also said that the parents were aware before they were criminally charged that they may not benefit from a civil suit, and they contend that the parents' main concern in the suit is the welfare of Danieal's siblings.
"The beneficiaries could be these kids [Danieal's siblings], and that could be a positive outcome," Mildenberg said.
The attorneys confirmed that they filed the complaint on Aug. 1 because of an approaching two-year federal statute-of-limitations deadline. Danieal died on Aug. 4, 2006, so the suit, which contains federal civil-rights claims, had to be filed within two years of that date.
The wrongful-death suit seeks more than $50,000 and names as defendants the city, DHS, MultiEthnic Behavioral Health, DPW, and the Commonwealth.
To add insult to injury, the 19-year-old brother, Troy Washington, the oldest of Danieal's 10 siblings(from 5 different men) has filed a lawsuit as well. It contends that Washington "has suffered substantial mental pain" from his sister's death.
Zajac said yesterday that Washington, who was 17 when his sister died, tried to kill himself afterward and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
"He viewed her dead body before she was removed by the Medical Examiner's Office," he said.
Does anybody else but me wonder, where the hell was he at when this poor girl was rotting away. Could he not have done something, WHEN SHE WAS ALIVE?
Is this what this world has become? Is it now allowable for a mother and father to profit from the death of a child? A death that they caused, no less.
I, for one, do not totally agree that it's DHS' fault. I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of the "mother" and sperm donor.
If we, as a society, are so hell bent on making a government agency responsible for the welfare of all children, should we not come up with some way to keep a mother, such as this animal, from having so many kids? Would that not be the humane thing to do? Can we not force them on birth control until they can prove to be fit parents? This animal had 10 kids. That's 10 kids, well 9 now, that will be fighting against extreme odds to become normal adults. The one thing on this earth that should be free, and mandatory, is birth control.

Don Imus is in the news, yet again, for a racial remark he made. This time it was about Adam(Pacman) Jones; the posterchild for the dirty side of the black race. Now this means we are going to be bombarded by the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons, condemning Imus as "having problems with Blacks" and for sterotyping the black race.
Now I do not agree with Don Imus for what he said. But here's my plea to the Black Race(I do not call you African Americans because you do not call me EuroAmerican). Don't pay attention to Don Imus, pay attention to what he said...the underlying meaning. Is what he said really so far off the mark? At least for what everybody sees on television, in newspapers and on police blotters all over the United States. There are more blacks in prison than any other race. Why is that? Don't tell me it's because blacks are being systematically targeted by cops. That's bull. We all know the justice system is a joke. Everybody gets away with something through the green-tinted blindfold of Lady Justice...ie...OJ Simpson, Leonard Little, Michael Jackson(okay I apologize for that one black people) and now R. Kelly.
Don't tell me its poverty either. I grew up in poverty. There are trailer parks and apartment complexes filled with whites and other races that do not commit the crime that black people are committing. Black people are given more opportunities than a white man that is poor. Any job that receives any sort of federal funding is FORCED to hire a black person due to affirmative action(which is more racist than a KKK meeting). Blacks can go to any college they want on a minority scholarship. Whites can only go to a handful of Black colleges on minority scholarships. Get my point?
Black people need to start fixing their race, smacking the badseeds around that give the entire race a bad name.
Black people need to smack around the athletes such as Adam Jones for having their names in the paper instead of a Warrick Dunn who should be a role model for all.
Black people should smack around the idiot rappers who get their names in the paper for crimes instead of the black singers or rappers who do good work(I honestly couldn't think of one..sorry).
Black people should smack the media around for only showing the police blotters instead of the excellent black role models, such as Bill Cosby, Will Smith , Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Clarence Thomas and so many more.
Black people should smack around the Jerry Springer Show and the Maury Povich show for showing the worst side of the black race instead of having shows that show positive things that blacks do.
Black people should smack around their own kind that commit crime after crime, sit at home and pop out child after child.
Don't smack around Don Imus...he's an idiot, but he is just talking about what he sees. If we don't see the good...how can we comment on it.

"Two Muslim women at Barack Obama's rally in Detroit Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women's headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.
When Obama won North Carolina amid questions about his ability to connect with white voters, for instance, he stood in front of a group of middle-aged white women waving small American flags. Across the aisle, a Hispanic New Hampshire Democrat, Roberto Fuentes, told Politico that he was recently asked, and declined, to contribute to the "diversity" of the crowd behind Senator John McCain at a Nashua event.
In Detroit Monday the two different Obama volunteers – in separate incidents– made it clear that headscarves wouldn't be in the picture. The volunteers gave different explanations for excluding the hijabs, one bluntly political and the other less clear. "
I had to read this story on the Drudgereport, it was not on MSNBC or CNN. Why? Can you imagine if John McCain's campaign had done this? WOW! It would have been a media firestorm.
I am neither Republican or Democrat, so I have to political agenda against Obama. All I ask is for the media to report DOWN THE MIDDLE. The left leaning newscast such as MSNBC, CNN and any CBS newstation have put Obama on such a pedestal. It's sickening that the media is allowed to do this. It's also dangerous.
I have a brother who swears up and down that the media is not biased. I say [...] to that. This story is proof. As I said before, imagine if McCains campaign had barred some women from wearing their scarfs on stage. It would be all that the media talked about.
Man, I hate politics. Why do we, the American public, fall for their lies and con games. If a homeless man walks up to you and ask for a dollar; you are going to automatically say no because you know you are being conned. You tell yourself that he is just going to buy some liquor with it. Or he is probably not even homeless.
So tell me, why can't we sift through the same [...] from politicians?

I am not a parent but I am still disgusted by the story in the LA Times regarding the two women abusing their five year old child.
"The 5-year-old was hung by his hands and wrists from a door jam and beaten with some sort of leash or chain, police said. He was burned with cigarette butts and left to sit in his own urine and feces. His hands were held to a stove, according to Capt. Fabian Lizarraga, suffering injuries that may leave his hands permanently disfigured"
"Lizarraga alleges that the pair came up with a scheme to avoid detection. Blocks from the DCFS, police allege, Brown and Mathews dumped the boy with a transient.
"He was a complete stranger," the captain said. "They told him 'Watch him for us.' They said 'We'll be right back.' "
The thing that pisses me off is they got away with this for two years!!! Two years of abusing this kid and nobody noticed? How?
Why are people not beating down the jail doors to give some real justice to these animals. Maybe we need to be monitoring who is allowed to have children. If you need a license to drive a car, why not make people get a license before they have children? This is disgusting that nobody noticed this happening. Does anybody expect this poor kid to live anything close to a normal life? Its not fair to him; he didn't get to choose his mother.

Why is it that being healthy is so expensive? Why is it that being able to drive a hybrid car, that is supposedly better for the environment, is so expensive?
In my opinion, the health food craze is a con game. The hybrid car is a con game. Going "Green" is a con game. What better way to advertise? Just tell people that they are helping the environment by driving this ridiculous looking $30k car. Just tell people to buy the natural foods that run your weekly grocery bill up to $200.00.
If all of this stuff is so important, why is it all too expensive for poor or middle class people to afford it?
Why is it cheaper to buy Rocky Road ice cream instead of frozen yogurt?
Why is it cheaper to buy a gas guzzling Cadillac instead of a Toyota Hybrid?
Are we all suckers? Is it just easy advertising? Guilt us into spending too much money.
If you want to solve the gas crisis, make Hybrids cheaper(If they are actually more environmentally friendly). If you want to solve the healthcare crisis, let people be able to afford to eat healthy. There, problems solved.
