Catching up on reading, sharing on earmarks and John McCain

I've been away for a few days and haven't updated the blog. I'm going to play catch up and do a marathon of posting things I've received but haven't seen on other blogs yet. This one was forwarded to me by a freind in the Read My Lipstick Network!

John McCain's record on this and on many other issues is being SO distorted by the lefties, but who can keep up and really get to the bottom of things?

Council For Citizens Against Government Waste Fact Checks Barack Obama's Record

Tom Schatz From The Council For Citizens Against Government Waste Fact Checks Barack Obama's And Joe Biden's Spending Records:

Fox News
September 22, 2008

Fox News' Greg Jarrett: "You focused on two things really as I understand it, earmarks, and we will get to it in a moment, but wasteful spending talk to us about how the candidates break down on this.

Council For Citizens Against Government Waste's Tom Schatz: "There is a long track record in both cases, some of which goes to Senator Obama in the Illinois Legislature. We do not analyze the states. But just on the votes in 2007, Senator Obama voted correctly only 10% of the time, and Senator McCain voted 11 out of the 35 times. He did vote correctly every time. His lifetime rating 88% is the sixth-highest in the Senate. Senator Obama's lifetime rating is 18% in the years that he has been a Senator. So there is a vast difference on the question of spending and taxes and those results are consistent with other analyses and organizations that track all of these various votes."

Jarrett: "Is Obama at the bottom?"

Schatz: "He is not quite at that the bottom. Actually, Senator Biden is at the bottom. He has a zero rating in 2007. But Senator Obama is pretty close at 10%."

Jarrett: "So Biden would be the most wasteful in your judgment, and again you are a non-partisan group, would be the most wasteful Senator?"

Schatz: "He wasn't the only one. There were 13 Senators with a zero rating, but he was one of those that failed to vote a single time to cut waste or cut taxes are even preserve tax cuts."

Jarrett: "And again, we are out of time, but John McCain, zero earmarks. Right?

Schatz: "That is it. Zero."

Jarrett: "Big goose egg. I mean that is amazing in Congress."

Schatz: "It is difficult to say no, but he is one of the few who has."

Be scared Obama, be scared...

Yeah well, he's already scared and that's fairly obvious by the way he's been reacting. Sarah Palin has him on the run! She's energizing the world, not just the Republicans in the United States!

I am so excited she's on the ticket. I ordered a bunch of bumper stickers and told my friends I had them. They're pretty much gone 'cause everyone I know, Democrats, Independents and Republicans, wants a bumper sticker.

Another one that's going out the door are the NObama stickers. I don't have one but I'm seeing them all over.

I'm reading the book Obamanation. It should be required reading. If a fraction of what is in the book is true no one who's a true-blue American should consider voting for Obama. It's a very well documented book and very credible.

I'll try to be better at getting on here and supporting the McCain - Palin super team! We have to get them elected, the future of our country depends on it.
