do your homework


McCain picks Gov. Sarah Palin as VP running mate.
Wow... this lady is something else. Read about her. Find out all you can about how candidates on BOTH SIDES VOTE on issues. Afterall, it's how they vote that really matters... not what they say when the cameras are on them.

Some people think that if Obama isn't chosen as our next President that it means America is racist. At least that's what Newsweek's Jacob Weisberg is feeding us. How ridiculous. Well, does that mean that the same thought process can be assumed of McCain/Palin? Does it mean that if they're not chosen that America is sexist? No... it doesn't. And if Obama/Biden doesn't win it's not because of any reason other than they weren't the ones for the job. What's important is how the candidates on both sides VOTE... not the color of their skin or whether they're male or female.

Do your research and find out how they vote on the ISSUES that matter to you. If you don't do that then you're not being a responsible voter.
I'll help you get a head start:

more truth for you

i thought this youTube vid was worth sharing on my blog... go check out the link... this kid is discussing the lyrics from a new Ludacris song... it's funny.

I somehow came upon this video while searching for more info about Pelosi turning the lights, microphones and cameras off this week on the GOP... and going on vacation with all the other Democrats instead of voting on the Drill Here Drill Now. Interesting that the real reason why the Republicans wanted to stay... and vote... is being twisted in the media. I thought the Democrats wanted to help find solutions for our energy crisis anyway? hmm, guess not.

anyway, thanks to

for posting the funny kid on their site.
