Bailouts

So even after McCain and Obama were pushing for the 700 billion dollar bailout
CONGRESMAN Barr and other voted against it with a 228 to 295 victory. This is great news however they are trying to push for it again.

POLICIA POLICIA

sO My question about the presidential election
is who is going to change some laws?
and who is going to change the way police act.

No more HOLDING UP THE INNOCENT
No more Illegal warrants
No more Illegal searches
No more BREAKING THE LAW!

STEM CELL RESEARCH

This is a article on McCain's idea about stem cell research

Stem cell research offers tremendous hope for those suffering from a variety of deadly diseases - hope for both cures and life-extending treatments. However, the compassion to relieve suffering and to cure deadly disease cannot erode moral and ethical principles.

For this reason, John McCain opposes the intentional creation of human embryos for research purposes. To that end, Senator McCain voted to ban the practice of "fetal farming," making it a federal crime for researchers to use cells or fetal tissue from an embryo created for research purposes. Furthermore, he voted to ban attempts to use or obtain human cells gestated in animals. Finally, John McCain strongly opposes human cloning and voted to ban the practice, and any related experimentation, under federal law.

As president, John McCain will strongly support funding for promising research programs, including amniotic fluid and adult stem cell research and other types of scientific study that do not involve the use of human embryos.

Where federal funds are used for stem cell research, Senator McCain believes clear lines should be drawn that reflect a refusal to sacrifice moral values and ethical principles for the sake of scientific progress, and that any such research should be subject to strict federal guidelines.



Senator McCain does not believe in Embryo cell research and wants to get rid of it completely. Scientists can not use embryos, but are aloud to study amniotic fluid and adult stem cells. McCain does not want to give it federal funding for scientific research.

I wonder what diseases can only be fixed with embryos so far. Obviously this stance was going to be taken, they are PRO-LIFE.

Off McCain's website

John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.

Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat.

However, the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents only one step in the long path toward ending abortion. Once the question is returned to the states, the fight for life will be one of courage and compassion - the courage of a pregnant mother to bring her child into the world and the compassion of civil society to meet her needs and those of her newborn baby. The pro-life movement has done tremendous work in building and reinforcing the infrastructure of civil society by strengthening faith-based, community, and neighborhood organizations that provide critical services to pregnant mothers in need. This work must continue and government must find new ways to empower and strengthen these armies of compassion. These important groups can help build the consensus necessary to end abortion at the state level. As John McCain has publicly noted, "At its core, abortion is a human tragedy. To effect meaningful change, we must engage the debate at a human level."


So it is obvious about McCain's stand on abortions. He wants to get rid of ROE V.S WADE , and have the decision be up to the states. McCain wants to end abortion , and create a great civil society that is strong believers in Faith. His way of countering all the problems with never allowing abortion is to continue to have organizations that provide critical services to pregnant mothers in need.

OBAMA TAX PLAN

Taxes suck
everyone knows that
here is his proposal

income tax rate 39.6 %
income payroll 52.2 %
capital gains 28 %
dividends 39.6 %
Estate Tax 55%

Everyone one of those is higher then what we currently have.

Next, I found out he thinks the problem with the economy revenue is the Housing crisis.

Today I woke up, acted like it was any other day. I was a little tired, and slowly got in the shower and ate a quick breakfast before walking to class. Once I sat down in class a classmate told me what the date was. I had no idea, today 7 years ago, we were attacked by terrorists, who flew planes into the trade center, the pentagon and on crashed in Virginia, on it's way to the white house. Today, Americans are reminded about how our freedom is challenged by many around the world. Today, we must be pride to the Americans who died, the Americans who are now serving in Iraq, and other countries in the middle East. Today we must be proud to be Americans together as one. I am happy to be an American today.

Ron Paul got asked,

Yesterday, Bob Barr asked Ron Paul to be his vice president. This is GREAT NEWS! I think Ron Paul is a genious. He will bring many votes to the libertarian party. I hope he accepts. Today I told Bob that this is a great idea, I did not like Root anyways.

Here is the Official story

Asks Paul to Run as his Vice President
Atlanta, GA – Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party nominee for president, has invited GOP Congressman Ron Paul to be his running mate in the upcoming election. In a letter sent to Paul, Barr called Paul one of the “few American patriots” who exist in today’s society, and asked him to “seriously consider this final offer as an opportunity to show true, lasting leadership beyond party politics.”
Barr cited Paul’s 1987 letter to then-GOP Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf, in which Paul stated that, “after years of trying to work through the Republican Party both in and out of government…[Paul] concluded that [his] efforts must be carried on outside the Republican Party.”
Though recognizing Paul’s personal investment in the Republican Party and his recent attempts to reform the party from inside, Barr said he disagreed with Paul’s strategy. “Better options remain that will carry a message of liberty onto the ballot in November and beyond,” Barr stated, adding at a news conference called today at the National Press Club, that “change in politics and public policy in America cannot and will not be done from within the current, two-party system.”
Barr continued, “‘The status quo will not change the status quo’ and impact comes entirely from gaining votes in the General Election.” That is why Barr said he would remain focused on the Libertarian Party’s electoral effort and clear message, and why he invited Paul to join him.
“While you declined my offer to seek the Libertarian presidential nomination many months ago, I ask that you seriously consider this final offer as an opportunity to show true, lasting leadership beyond party politics,” Barr stated in his letter to Paul.
Barr’s running mate, Wayne Allyn Root, expressed support: “As the Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee, I believe in one thing above all else—principle. There can be no compromise on the ideals of limited government, lower taxes, lower spending, and more freedom for the American people. Those are the principles to which I’ve dedicated my life. The GOP and Democratic candidates only give lip service—at best—to these ideals and principles. It is only an act at election time every four years.”
“I want to end the charade once and for all,” Root continued. “I am willing to sacrifice anything to advance the cause of liberty, freedom, smaller government and to enable the American taxpayer to keep more of their own money and property. Understanding Dr. Ron Paul’s reputation and name recognition in the freedom movement, I am willing to step aside as Libertarian vice presidential candidate if he would be willing to take my place. I will pledge to work day and night, just as I have as the vice presidential nominee, to support Dr. Paul. I believe this is a wonderful opportunity for the Libertarian and freedom movements. I encourage Dr. Paul to accept Congressman Barr’s offer. The campaign is making this offer because we believe there is no sacrifice too large when it comes to improving the lives of the American people and American taxpayers.”

Exploratory writing and thinking

Exploratory writing and thinking are obviously almost one in the same, but when you think about my teachers quote " Perhaps you think about things in this way without using writing as a tool through which to process your ideas." You are able to understand the literal diffrence of the two. IF one person starts to think about a subject and starts to brainstorm in their mind, what is there to keep them from forgetting their original thoughts. I have a short term memory and if I am constantly thinking about new ideas and thinking more in depth about a topic, I will forget something. This used to happen to me all the time. When a teacher would assign me a great topic to write a essay and I had so many ideas, I would just think about all the things there are to write about and by the time I got to my room, after all my other classes, I would forget half of the ideas. That being said, I soon learned that I can write these ideas down and save all of my thoughts.

But is that exploratory writing? Is that just brainstorming? What defines the difference, after all I was not writing to explore, I was writing to save my ideas. But my ideas could be thought of the same way, If I took the steps in exploratory writing, I could of found the same ideas and maybe they could of been in more depth. Maybe they would be just the same thing...

more about the convention

ok I just want to say that


Huckabee is a really good speaker.

Republican National Convention

ok, So i turned on the convention at 9:00
I am watching it on MSNBC
I am not sure what they are talking about right now, it seems to be mid sentence.
The announcers are talking, and I can not hear one word what the speakers are talking about.
Which is bull$&*!, I do not need to hear the point of view of the media, that is what they want me to hear.

Someone just talked about the lack of experience that Obama has, and the experience that Palin has. Ok so since when has Alaska been important. She has to care about her minor population and OIL, please I am sure most educated puppets could be making executive positions in Alaska. We already learned from Ted Thompson about the corruption.

Now Mitt Romney is speaking, he is saying how Washington is Liberal.
HAHAHAH wow, OK the Bush Administration is real liberal.
All the conservatives do is attack the liberals,
What is there point, what are you going to do besides take away rights from the people.
Mitt Romney also has such a fake tan. He is orange, what a loser, he cares more about how he looks then the people themselves.

He just said, Its time for the party of big ideas, not big brother.
That makes sense, Obama is a little to socialist.

His ideas make sense in economics.

"lets keep Al Gores' private jet on the ground" Mitt Romney -- That is funny

Now he talks about internatinal affairs, this is what I hate
The republican ideals are so bad. I hate war, WAR IS EVIL. STOP THE VIOLENCE.

I do not want to talk anymore about Mitt.
We will wait for someone else.
