Somehow I have a feeling that even if he isn’t elected president he will do an investigation or instigate one on the Congresscritters who are found lacking in the financial crisis we now have.

Well sir, whoever you are, you are right!

Republicans have waited and waited and waited for Senator McCain to fight for the presidency, America, and for those of us who have chosen (many begrudgingly) to support him.

Strict voter ID laws are the only solution I see to problems like these:

Plus, more on voter fraud in Nevada, and Missouri. If Baptists were doing what ACORN has been doing, the press would be all over it, 24/7 . . . .

More:

ACORN “currently under investigation in fourteen states.” That one sentence speaks volumes especially when you consider their checkered past.

*Update: I felt this information might be valuable in ascertaining how widespread this problem really is:

ACORN has been implicated in voter-fraud schemes in 15 states - including Ohio, from where The Post’s Jeane MacIntosh reports today that a Board of Elections investigation has unearthed evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Two voters told MacIntosh they had been dragooned by ACORN activists into registering several times - one reporting having signed up “10 to 15″ times.

ACORN canvassers “would ask me if I was registered,” he said. “I’d say yes and they’d ask me to do it again.”

Tuesday, Nevada officials raided ACORN’s Las Vegas offices as part of a probe into voter-registration fraud - noting that some forms submitted by ACORN workers included the names of Dallas Cowboys players.

Officials in Lake County, Ind. report that fully 1,100 of 2,000 new voter-registration forms delivered by ACORN were “suspicious.”

In Washington state, officials recently closed an investigation into ballot cheating that resulted in prison terms.

ACORN submitted more than 800 phony registration forms in Independence, Mo., with one woman registering 10 times, using three birthdates, four different Social Security numbers and six different phone numbers.

And, as The Post reported Monday, another pro-Obama group, Vote Today Ohio, took advantage of a quirk in that state’s law, which allows people to register and vote on the same day without having to prove residency, to drive hundreds of people from homeless shelters and drug-rehab centers to the polls.

I don’t believe the emphasis should be on which candidate is supported most by these activities. All candidates nationwide should denounce such tactics and sever all ties to those organizations found to be in violation of election laws.

A legitimate vote should never be threatened by a fraudulent one. The individuals involved in these activities should be rounded up by law enforcement and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

No one wants to believe me when I call Obama a socialist and say that’s why I fear an Obama presidency.

Well here’s a source that confirms what I’ve been saying.

Partial quotes:

In 1995 Obama signed a contract with the DSA “promising a more open relationship with the Marxist New Party”.

About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to update members on local activities and to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates.

…Candidates must be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP.

The political entourage included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcia’s District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmer’s vacant seat…

The mission statement of the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America?

Our mission is to establish democratic socialism as a political force in the United States and around the world by training and mobilizing socialist activists to participate in a vibrant and diverse socialist organization at both the local and the national level. DSA both educates the public about democratic socialist values and policies and builds progressive coalitions to win victories that move the U.S. and the world toward social democracy… In the long term, democratic socialists fight for a world in which all people share equally in the governing of the economic, political and cultural institutions and relationships that shape their lives.

The ‘New Party’ was a political party established by the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards…

…the NP’s ‘96 Political Program has been enormously successful with 3 of 4 endorsed candidates winning electoral primaries. All four candidates attended the NP membership meeting on April 11th to express their gratitude… Barack Obama, victor in the 13th State Senate District, encouraged NPers to join in his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration.

I encourage you to follow the link and the other links provided in that post.

If you want our country to become socialist and get progressively worse, then vote Obama. If you are thinking of voting for him, read this and consider your vote. We don’t need to head down that road.

Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain promised on Wednesday to balance the federal budget at the end of his term, not specifying a first or second term.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Republican presidential candidate John McCain promised Wednesday to balance the federal budget despite the nation’s deepening economic distress.

McCain said he would “confront” the massive federal debt and would balance the annual federal budget by the end of his term in office, without specifying whether he meant in four years or perhaps eight years should he be elected twice.

McCain has long promised to balance the budget but this was the first time he renewed the pledge since the enactment of a $700 billion bailout this month of troubled financial institutions which could complicate such an effort. Many presidential candidates have promised to balance the budget but the last to do so was Democrat Bill Clinton, who had four budget surpluses beginning in 1998. That was the first surplus since 1969 and the first string of surpluses since one that ended in 1930.

In delivering this pledge, McCain committed a verbal bobble, which quickly made its way onto YouTube.

“Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent,” said McCain, who often speaks about his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. His prepared remarks said “fellow citizens,” not “fellow prisoners.”

Speaking to a rowdy crowd of supporters in this eastern Pennsylvania town, McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, both challenged Democrat Barack Obama’s campaign claims. Dismissing Obama as just “a guy who’s just tried to talk his way into the White House,” vice presidential candidate Palin said the Democrats’ ideas are stale and dangerous.

“He’s not willing to drill for energy, but he’s sure willing to drill for votes,” Palin said, eliciting cheers of “Drill, baby, drill” from the crowd, which often interrupted the candidates during their joint appearance.

McCain’s remarks about Obama were interrupted with shouts of “socialist,” “terrorist” and “liar.” At another time, a man in the bleaches shouted “No more ACORN,” referring to a group that registers poor voters.

“We’ve all heard what he’s said. But it’s less clear what he’s done, or what he will do,” McCain said.

The crowd replied with chants, “Nobama.”

Similarly, Palin said there were too many questions about Obama’s past: “John McCain didn’t just come out of nowhere. The American people know John McCain.”

That’s a pretty big promise to make; sort of like George H.W. Bush’s “Read my lips; no new taxes.” Let’s hope if Sen. McCain gets elected he can work with Congress in a bipartisan way to balance the budget.

It might take the use of a veto pen a lot, but if we can balance our personal budgets surely Congress and the next president can balance the federal budget as long as no one cares who gets the credit.

With McCain saying in both debates he will freeze spending on everything other than military and veteran’s programs and getting rid of useless agencies it seems he means to at least try to balance the budget.

He has also said he would use $300 billion already in the bailout bill to purchase mortgages that are higher than the value of the house and re-do them into a 30 year fixed-rate mortgage at a lower rate and principal.

So, here we have two huge promises he has made to help the economy. Let’s hope if he is elected he will be able to keep those promises.

I have to admit Fox News has been really working for McCain and Palin the past few weeks. I’m glad because we have seen how the other networks have treated them in interviews.

Here is Wednesday night’s interview with McCain and Palin, with a second part to come on Thursday and an interview with John and Cindy McCain on the campaign airplane also.
