Congratulations America!
Republican Budget Lies
The Bush administration reported the fiscal year 2007 budget deficit as $161 billion. That is interesting, because the current national debt is about $9.670 trillion. Last year at this time it was about $9.006 trillion. In one year, the national debt increased $663 billion. Why does Bush and his Republican administration report only $161 billion? Where did the other $500 billion in debt come from?

I Have A Dream!
Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. shared his vision for a new America before a crowd of hundreds of thousands:

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident -- that all men are created equal.

On Thursday, August 28, 2008, forty-five years after Dr. King gave his landmark address, Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for the President of the United States.

In America, dreams still can come true!

On John McCain
John McCain calls himself a maverick, but he votes with George Bush more than 90 percent of the time ... that's not a maverick, that's a sidekick.
Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey
You know, it was once said of the first George Bush that he was born on third base and thought he'd hit a triple. Well, with the 22 million new jobs and the budget surplus Bill Clinton left behind, George W. Bush came into office on third base, and then he stole second. And John McCain cheered him every step of the way.
Ohio Governor Ted Strickland
The U.S. can't meet its energy needs just by drilling for oil -- even if we drilled in every one of John McCain's back yards.
Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer

Focus on Your Credit/Debt
According to the Consumer Federation of America, Americans hold $850 billion in credit card debt and the average balance per card-holding household is $8,568.

You need to reduce your debt if you value "Freedom". Debt represents a form of slavery.

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, or FACT Act, enacted in 2003, allows you to get one free credit report per year from Equifax, Experian or TransUnion.

For a free copy of your credit report, visit
www.annualcreditreport.com
or call 877-322-8228.

The credit report won't include your credit score, which ranges from 300 to 850 (the higher the better). Scores cost extra and can run from $6 to $16; lenders pay less than a dollar, so it's a rip off. Your score is less important than your overall report.
NM Republicans Play the Race Card
Fernando C de Baca - RacistFernando C de Baca, 70, GOP chairman of Bernalillo County, who has served NM Republicans for decades, told Mr. Kelly why he believes John McCain will do well in New Mexico.

"The truth is that Hispanics came here as conquerors.

African-Americans came here as slaves. Hispanics consider themselves above Blacks. They won't vote for a Black president."

Won't it be great when people like Fernando finally die off? Haven't we had enough racism and bigotry in this country? It's time for a new generation of leaders. It's time for Barack Obama!

Don't Question My Christianity!
First of all -- you fucking fake Christians -- don’t fucking question my Christianity.

God wants us all to just get along. He doesn’t give a shit about the profanity. The bitch fucking invented profanity. He thinks it is hilarious. He just wants you to talk to him, and he doesn’t care what you have to say. He just wants to keep the conversation going. Like Jay-Z, he just wants to love you. He just wants you to be able to make your own decisions. God is all about you and what you need. God is happy that you are gay. God made you fucking gay cuz he thinks it is awesome. God understands if you need to have an abortion. That is why he created abortion, on the 8th day. God accepts. God forgives. God loves all of us, even though some of us might have a problem with each other.

Don’t fucking question my Christianity you fucking idiot assholes. If you continue to have a problem, then talk to God about it, not me, you fucking racist homophobic misogynist fake Christian shitheads. God thinks it is funny that I swear so much. He said I could use his name in vain or whatever. He just wants me to use it. He loves me. So fuck you. And I guess he loves you too. Even though you are fake Christian assholes. If you were truly Christians, you would let gays get married, and send them fucking presents from Bed Bath and Beyond!

If you truly believed in Jesus, you would try to be like him and love us, fags and dykes and feminists all. God bless you, even you. You fucking fuckers.

Have The Courage To Keep Going
My mother was born before women could vote. But in this election my daughter got to vote for her mother for President.

This is the story of America. Of women and men who defy the odds and never give up. How do we give this country back to them?

By following the example of a brave New Yorker, a woman who risked her life to shepherd slaves along the Underground Railroad.

And on that path to freedom, Harriett Tubman had one piece of advice.

If you hear the dogs, keep going.

If you see the torches in the woods, keep going.

If they're shouting after you, keep going.

Don't ever stop. Keep going.

If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.
NY Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
