McCain, Not This Guy, Should Be Giving His Top Ten Reasons for Dropping Out

Un-electability??

I return from my brief hiatus to discuss the electability of presidential candidates. Most people would agree that Obama has a lead in the race for the nomination. However, after many weeks of debates, campaign speeches, and news articles, I am wondering whether Obama has not shot himself in the foot.

Let me point out a few things. The first is that perhaps some of Obama's comments were taken a bit too far. However, I must note that this is a man running for the highest office in the land and perhaps he should choose his words more carefully. The second thing to note is that the longer the race draws on the more I find out about Obama including his ties to Rev. Wright, among other nefarious characters.

Obama's patriotism has even been called into question, and I know that his will be hammered home if he should win the nomination. I confess, I do not know Obama personally. I've never met the man, and for all I know he could be a good guy. However, in a country of around 3 million people I doubt many people know Obama personally.

Much like me they will be forced to read the news, and listen to the debates. I wonder after listening to all his rhetoric when people will start asking for answers. McCain has already started outlining some of his plans. Granted Obama has said some stuff, but I wonder how long the wave of "change" can last. After his comments in the past months, it looks more like it is Obama himself that is mired in the ways of old.

McCain Tries to Show That He Does Understand the Economy

What Is In a Name? Everything.

I just blew the dust of my old, 7th-grade history book, and it tells me that the South's secesion from the Union was for the most part the result of the South wanting to maintain and expand the aberration that was slavery and the North not.

It also reminds me that the President of the South was a man by the name of Jefferson Davis. That, of course, makes him the racist of racists, bigot of bigots.

Well, yesterday a Geoff Davis apologized, as if that were enough, for calling Barack Obama—a 46-year old man—'boy' over the weekend.

Ain't that something.

In case you forgot, Southern whites degradingly called blacks 'boy' during the Jim Crow era to assert a position of superiority.

Geoff is a Congressman from Kentucky—a state that arguably seceded from the Union. But even if not, Kentucky had a pretty active lynch mob.

And with that, it all makes sense. The only difference between the President of the South and that Congressman from Kentucky is how they spell their first name.

The Colvin Report: I Am Bitter!

I find myself here, in State College, small town Pennsylvania, pondering why I am so bitter while I smell the sweet aroma of gun oil that lingers in the air as I clean my Glock 30 subcompact pistol with my aged white t-shirts.

I had just got off the phone, where I told my parents to pray for me and rejoiced over the blessings that my family has received over the past few years. You see, my 7 year old niece, who nearly died in a horrendous car accident, involving a run-a-way driver (who was probably an illegal alien), had just completed her last session of physical therapy. It was a blessing by anyones measures, or at least an ignorant bitter small town boy like myself.

After that, I couldn't help but complain about why I was still unemployed. Why did all the jobs leave Pennsylvania 30 years ago to never return? Why did George W. provide for a lower average unemployment rate than Bill Clinton, but I still didnt have a job?

Finally it came to me.... I would embrace the conservative party and cling to my bitterness as a way to solve my problems. Alas, I figured things out. Now I can put my gun back together, say my prayers, and go to sleep.

Thank God for Annie Oakley.

Completely Self-indulgent Post

I admit, this is only interesting to Obama supporters, like myself. But, this is another difficult test for Obama, and I think this is sharp, and funny, response. Again, self-indulgent, and totally biased post. Had to do it. (sorry, it's long, but try to watch the whole thing)
