Politico - Would-be appointees quizzed on guns
President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team is asking potential appointees detailed questions about gun ownership, and firearms advocates aren’t happy about it. Tucked in at the end of the questionnaire and listed under "Miscellaneous," it reads: "Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."

We have been hearing rumors about Joe Liebermans removal from select Democratic committees that he chairs for months during the campaign. His atrocities are many, and vary between criticism to outright slanders of Barack Obama. He had to know that the Democratic leadership would take exception with his manner of support for John McCain, and yet, Joe Lieberman didnt seem to care about reprecussions. Finally, finally, Harry Reid is in a position to give Joe the comeuppance he so richly deserves, and what do we get..wishy washy? This week, Reid had a meeting with TRAITOR Joe, and discussed the plan to oust Lieberman. From all accounts, Lieberman said his removal as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee is "Unacceptable". Why is it that Joe Lieberman even gets a voice in this decision?

I was listening to Joe describing the obama win, and he plainly said that it was a historical landmark. From there he went on to chastise liberals for not finding some measure of joy when Republicans and Conservatives win in such a way. As an example, he cited the Reagan landslide, after which liberals described it as the coming of the evil empire. His main point was that we should all keep and "open mind" when someone wins with whom you may not agree. Scarborough and Pat Buchanan harped on how the evangicals are just as enthusiastic as liberals who voted for Obama, but they get no credit for their enthusiasm. However, I think there IS a distinct difference

"Father, forgive me, for I have sinned". You see, here in Fredericksburg Virginia I drive down route XX towards the center of town daily. I have noticed that there were maybe 40 McCain signs in a straight line along this main thoroughfare into town. These signs are on PUBLIC property. In my mind, at least one Obama sign would have added some balance, yet there were none. I even went to the Obama campaign office and complained about it, but was told they "couldnt be everywhere". Last night, I decided to take matters into my own hands, becoming the fictional "Masked Avenger".

In an article from Slate titled "Yes, He CanBarack Obama should be able to disclose his small-dollar donors pretty easily". (http://www.slate.com/id/2203421/?GT1=38001)John Dickerson and Chris Wilson go on and on about Barack Obama refusing to release the names of the 2 million-plus people who have given his campaign less than $200. Their assumption is that politically, there would be several advantages in releasing the names. Supposedly, this release would rebut McCain's broad and unsubstantiated claims that the list (and the huge sums of money it represents is shot through with fraud. Hmm, if McCain is already making this claim, then whats the point? McCain has NEVER needed a factual reason to say something, no matter how far fetched. Although the writers talk of the transparency Obama has called for, the release of these names is fraugt with land mines. How silly can these people be.

In search of McCains accomplishments:

As this election cycle creeps into its last days, I hear more and more from McCain about being "tested", and the things he has accomplished. Honestly, when i search any web page or book that documents these accomplishments, the only verifiable one I can find is his being a POW. After 26 years as a Senator, who among us can recall or lay a finger on "anything" sucessful that has McCains stamp on it. I mean, lets be real, what has he ever done? I wont go back to his early early years, because there is nothing to be found there, and the stuff that sticks out is mostly bad (Keating, adultery etc). Lets look at just the last few years of what McCain has brought to America.

I live in Virginia, and just happen to be a Black American, emphasis on AMERICAN first, and black as a secondary matter. I for one think that Barrack Obama is better for this country, based upon what I have seen and heard, and from gathering my information via differing sources. I believe this about Obama, but have also changed my position on John McCain as a person. You see, I believe our relationship with John McCain has always been a fantasy. We were Dorothy, and he was the Wizard of Oz. John McCain was marked by us as a maverick, hero, and above reproach. The John McCain we thought we knew was full of flash, sound, and righteous indignation. As we peeked behind the curtain, to our utter amazement, we were presented with the true John McCain. The true John McCain turns out to be just an ill-tempered petty old man, who at his root is just another politician with high aspirations, who is willing to achieve his lofty goals in spite of us, and the good of the country.

According to the Huffington Posts Sam Stein: John McCain's campaign manager says he is reconsidering using Barack Obama's relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright as a campaign issue during the election's closing weeks.The Arizona Republican, Davis argued, had been jilted by the remarks of Rep. John Lewis, who compared recent GOP crowds to segregationist George Wallace's rallies. And, as such, the campaign was going to "rethink" what was in and out of political bounds.

I was watching Larry King, and to my amazement, they had three conservative women. All were talking about Sarah Palin, and her qualifications. Two of the women (Kathleen Parker being one) said that Palin was being used, and not qualified. The third was Angela Marie "Bay" Buchanan. Buchanan went on to say how Palin was fulfilling her traditional role as attack dog, and doing a great job. As I watched this Botox lipped woman sing the praises of Palin, I was amazed at some of the lies she was telling about Palin. It started me thinking. Who is this know-nothing Republican hack? Maybe you folks knew this, but I didn’t, she is the sister of Patrick J. Buchanan.

In an Opinion peice by By KARL ROVE in the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122411909182439021.html), he declares "Obama Hasn't Closed the Sale". Joe Lieberman announced recently that McCain has "Turned the corner". Even dim lightbulbs like Dick Morris proclaim "McCain's Shot at a Late Game Win". I am not being overly optimistic when I say that these people dont even begin to get it. Despite the polls, McCain has been done, toast, outta-here for quite some time. The reason? These folks are playing politics and watching under the OLD rules. They are folowing polls and analyzing the situation based upon historical comparisons to other candidates. Well, the flaws math begins there. There are no comparisons. For every voter who isnt convinced about Obama, and who needs to be sold, there are probably two who see it as a done deal. In fact, the voters who arent sold on Obama are just as unsold on McCain. In gact, obama has accomplished his mission. Voters are like a jury. Obama only had to create reasonable doubt about McCain, and he has done that. Otherwise, if McCain is such a jewel, why are these folks on the fence? In the privacy of the voting booth, these folks will vote Obama.

I am not conspiracy theorist, but I have a feeling that there is something lurching in the wings that will be a big deal to Obama. The stuff they have come up with so far has been nonsense, easily explained away (ACORN, Ayers). At this point, even the playing of the hateful speeches of Jeremiah Wright will probably just be a ripple on the water. I mean, we have all heard what he said, Obama has explained it (maybe not to somes satisfaction), but it may cause a point or two drop, but not a real game changer. Time is too short for it to be played and replayed in such a way as to drive the polls down to a losing percentage. Lets see, what else might they have? What if there IS a tape of Michelle Obama saying "whitey"!!! How would that play? McCain and company are devious enough to actually have such footage, and be saving it as a last desperate attempt at the Nth hour. If that happens, the real gloves will come off.

Equity and Quality Unpinning American Liberty (EQUAL)

I would suggest that for once, we Americans take advantage of a potentially full Democratic White House and Congress. For once, we should pass some laws that benefit everyone. I would call this law something along the lines of EQUAL. The purpose of the law would not be to circumvent the first amendment, but to bring it more into line with democracy as it exists today. My proposal would be to outlaw hate speech. In practice, you are free to hate anyone of be prejudiced against anyone you like, but under EQUAL, you would not be allowed a forum to broadcast your hatred. I would lay this equality blanket over RACE, Sexuality, and Religion. Here is how it would apply.
