This Time I'm Saying Something!

Don't let the media influence your vote, research the candidates. Find facts and base your vote on that. It's not okay to go with the good public speaker anymore; that's been a proven FLOP.

During the last Presidential Election, I watched in awe of people fawn over Barack Obama, with no real clue as to who he was. Make no mistake about it, Barack is a fabulous campaigner but so far his leadership has (how can i say this) stunk

In 2008 I worked with a younger man that voted for Barack Obama for President because he thought it was cool that Barack smoked. Seriously?! I couldn't believe that was a reason someone would use to actually cast a vote for the leader of the free world. What I am afraid of is that there are way too many people like that that cast uneducated votes, or that they were under a spell by the fabulous campaigner that the media helped perpetuate. Have you seen those kooks on The View and how Star Struck they are by him?

I could not let this election go by without saying something this time. If you are not sure why you're voting or letting a Hollyweird celebrity, or just a couple of sound bytes or good speeches influence you, maybe you need to do a little research before you cast a vote that affects everyone's life. I'm sure our founding fathers did not have any provisions for our President being a "smoker" as the reason to put him in charge.

I personally do not think that Mr. Obama is an adequate or experience leader. In fact I really do think that he is horrible at it. He has no regard for We The People, unless of course, we the people is a group that supports his radical agenda for our country. I really have a problem that he is saddling my children with so much debt. 

3/4 of the media already have their foot on the scale in favor of President Obama. But do you really want the opinion of some mole like Chris Matthews who has "tingly feeling going up his leg"? That's a fair and impartial journalist? Who says that on TV and gets taken seriously?

Here are some facts and failures. Do more research, but don't vote because something was a good speech. That's just ignorant.

George W. Bush is not the President anymore, stop blaming him.

Barack had his first 2 years in office with a Democrat House and Senate and failed to get anything done.

Passed a healthcare bill that all of them and their $200,000 + salaries couldn't be bothered to read. And our speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi says "You have to pass the bill to find out what's in it." She must have been absent the day they taught Democracy in school.

2010 Barack Obama said "Republicans can come for the ride, but they have to sit in the back." Seriously? Mr. Obama could you be more divisive and foolish?

$16 Trillion deficit more than double what it was when Bush did his massive over spending.

Failed Stimulus that never kept unemployment under 8%

GDP numbers as of today show we are stagnant:

47 million people on food stamps almost doubled since Obama has been in office.

Incomes have gone down $3000 for a year since Obama has been in office.

Attack on our Embassy in Libya was planned and 4 Americans were killed on the Anniversary of 9/11. Mr. Obamas response, go to Vegas to fund raise. His 2nd response, lie to the American people that it was about a YouTube video released in MAY. 16 days later the administration still won't acknowledge a war on terror or that there are Islamic Extremists thousands of them that want to kill us.

Do you need more information? There is much more. 

Mr. Romney has been vilified by the media and bloggers alike that are trying to annihilate him and his wife for anything that he has said or done in his life.

He has been married for decades, and stuck by his wife in sickness and in health. 

He has 5 good sons.

He is a man of faith.

He took no salary as governor of Massachusetts.

He took no pay as head of the Olympics for 3 years.

He built an empire from nothing (I know that is a very unpopular thing to do, and rich people are Satanic according to liberals, unless it's Beyonce).

Bain Capital helped create jobs and save companies that would have otherwise met their demise. Sports Authority and Staples to name a couple. He created more jobs than were destroyed.

He fixed a horribly broken Olympics. The Salt Lake City games were a HUGE success under his tenure on the job.

Hopefully this will nudge you to do some research on your own. Watch the debates. Pick a candidate that you think will do a better job. Frankly, Obama in my opinion based on the facts and following his Presidency has done nothing to bring value to my country, my home, or my family. 

Oh yeah, and if all you have to rebut this with is that I'm a racist, please go back under the rock from which you crawled.

Here's that story, Cathy (with a few tidbits you won't find in the Register's story, like where theRead More teen's vehicle was last seen): http://missionviejo.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/shooting-17yearold-trabuco-canyon-boy-with-handgun-sought

I guess Patch.com will be issuing a refund.
Dan Avery May 22, 2013 at 02:48 pm
I was referring to the fact that the link leads to a clip from Pete Seegar's show; he joins SonnyRead More Terry and Brownie McGhee in "Key To The Highway." The harp work alone you'll never see the likes of on TV these days.
Shripathi Kamath May 22, 2013 at 02:37 pm
Modern TV has moved to cable. Still, there are the occasional shows like "House MD" orRead More "Elementary" that work well. "The Big Bang Theory" is waaaay better than "Three's Company" Anything is better than "The Love Boat" Or are you nostalgic for "Bonanza" where the dad looks 55, and his three sons about 48? Reality shows are just ways of pissing off more people who think "Well, I can do that!" or "Look at those fake housewives!"

Hi Charlie, So McDonald's sold it. That was hardly the point of the piece was it? And I wasn'tRead More bashing Chipotle, Charlie, I was bashing our collective notion that education is about "getting a better job." I was bashing our total disrespect for education and educators. The last thing we need to do it bash their unions. We need to take a look at the leadership of the union but the vehicle of the union is all that stands between us and corporate greed.
Shripathi Kamath May 22, 2013 at 10:16 am
In what respect, Charlie?
Charlie Woodward May 21, 2013 at 03:09 pm
Dan, I read your blog about the Free Burrito for Teachers. I happen to support Chipotle, and ownRead More stock in them. One thing you need to research. THEY ARE NOT OWNED BY MCDONALDS ANYMORE!!! As I do agree, teachers are under paid, but offering something like Chipotle did is great. I think we need to bash their unions instead of great companies like Chipotle who are just offering a benefit.

Now wait a second—UV exposure causes skin cancer, and sunscreen prevents UV exposure, right?Read More And so what if the neighborhood hounds tend to give you a little extra attention while you're wearing it? It's a small price to pay I'd say.

I know where they should be issuing speeding tickets: Marguerite Pkwy. between Crown Valley andRead More Avery Parkway between 6:10 and 6:25 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Teens are frantically rushing to get to CVHS upper lot before it gets full. Every morning I see kids running red lights, speeding and weaving in and out of traffic with no regard for anyone else.
KH May 18, 2013 at 01:48 pm
The MV motorcycle cops are all over the place. I'd like to know the number of traffic citationsRead More issued in MV versus our other neighboring cities.

Why are all the Motorcycle cops in MV OVERWEIGHT???

I've got some good news for the Mission Viejo Patch Whiners (®). It seems we're still migratingRead More a lot of the old content onto the new site. Expect to see videos repopulated soon, and I believe comments as well.

They are coming for the Johns now. DA Ruckysuckyducky has a new "shaming" program. I'mRead More sure it will work and prostitution will no longer be a curse upon the land...I mean, after all, the War on Drugs was a rollicking success!
Panglonymous May 16, 2013 at 01:54 pm
That rings true, don't it: the 'flat spot' in an ongoing trend that will sometime soon go on. Eat,Read More drink and be, Mary, for tomorrow... a new interface will be introduced that strips hyperlinks, videos and comments from your bloggos and puts history out with the dogs. (whiiiiinnnnnnne)

There is a reason why sites like Patch 2.0 don't look good on Shripathi's Kindle-whatever screen,Read More but these sites do look great on the iPhone in Portrait for Landscape view. I'll be writing a post about that. If you're a business owner with a web site, you need to understand the reason in order to save money on your site.

The Bible also tells us that there were magicians who filled Egypt with blood, just like YahwehRead More helped Moses do. As to why magicians would fill the Nile (drinking supply), and their own country with blood, and stink it all up just to put Yahweh in his place is anyone's guess. Maybe this psychic can ask one of those magicians and let us know.

The bible tells us to flee the occult.

I talk to dead people all the time. My mom, dad, grandma, sister, and so on. It's when you startRead More claiming they talk back that you've crossed the line into hucksterism.
