letter

MR.L’s TAVERN 23 this Saturday night at 9:30pm EST. on ChimpsyRadio. www.chimpsyradio.com/ctl.html http://mrltavern.podomatic.com

I thought McCain did well in the second debate last night, especially on the economic issues. I have a feeling McCain is waiting to really pounce on Obama in the third debate. Brit Hume claimed that McCain lost. I’d personally like to cancel Brit Hume like a subscription of Newsweek for such an absurd analysis.
Laddies and Lasses, I caught one major LIE that Obama told last night. I don’t know if you did either. Here it is from the transcript where McCain and Obama responded to a question regarding the bailout. Laddies and Lasses, anyone with a one half of a brain knows that all roads that to this economic crisis begin with Fannie and Freddie. Here’s what Obama said:
“I wrote to Secretary Paulson, I wrote to Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, and told them this is something we have to deal with, and nobody did anything about it. A year ago, I went to Wall Street and said we've got to re-regulate, and nothing happened.”
When I looked further into the matter, I found that he claims he wrote the letter on October 17th 2007. In past press releases, Obama has stated that he wrote the FTC and asked them to “investigate subprime lenders to determine whether minority borrowers have been victims of discrimination.”
First of all, I wish we could all SEE the letter. Wouldn’t you like to see it? But, even if it does exist, why it would mean that he lied about it last night. If he did write it, just a year ago when the bubble was about to burst, it would mean that he wanted more minorities to get mortgages just on the principle that they are minorities.
Why, if we looked at what Obama said last night and then read the so-called letter that he wrote, we would need to ask ourselves what does regulation mean to Obama? Does it actually mean DE-regulate to him?
On June 28, 2008, Obama told the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, "We have to stabilize the housing market. And the Latino community as well as the African-American community was particularly hard hit when it comes to foreclosures.”

It’s as clear as the blue sky that Obama wasn’t talking about regulating banks because they were lending out too much money to people who couldn’t afford the mortgages. Or, that perhaps banks shouldn’t have been lending 120% and engaging in poor due diligence. No…

The only issue that mattered to Obama (which is hard to detect in all of his double speak) was whether or not minority borrowers were being discriminated against and if Latino or black home owners were going through “unfair” foreclosure. Perhaps he wanted to give them more of a break than they already got? Perhaps if he was president, he would let some of these buyers, some who were living well out of their means, too stupid to read the note or have a lawyer present when signing, off the hook and have us pay their debt for them.

I will remind you that there was a clause in the first bailout bill that wanted to grant amnesty to over 500,000 illegal immigrants who up and left their distressed homes and went back to where ever the fuck they came from.

On this issue alone, Obama exposes his far left ideology that wants to keep giving more to the deadbeats and let the sucker, the hard-working responsible taxpayer, to pick up the check.

He’s no moderate.

He’s a stealth liberal.

He’s an economic dunce.

Dear Senator McCain,

I'm glad you stopped by Tuesday night and decided to kick off your campaign in New Orleans (actually Kenner, but really who cares). I appreciate that you and your campaign staff were gracious enough to come visit our fine area and spend some money here to help our economy. Your speech was an excellent cure for insomnia and I thank you for helping me sleep that night.

While I'm glad that you chose New Orleans as the site to kick off your presidential campaign, I must admit, if the election was today, I would not vote for you. Don't get me wrong, I would not vote for the latest fraud from Chicago, Barack Obama either. More likely, I would decline to vote for president. However, I want to give you a chance to earn my vote so I have decided to write you this letter to give you the opportunity to speak to my issues in order to earn my vote.

See Senator McCain, I'm actually one of those conservatives you hate so much. You may have called me an "agent of intolerance" or a "bigot" or some other name when conservatives like me dared to oppose your left-wing stances on the issues. However, without "agents of intolerance" like me, you have no chance against Barack Obama. Frankly sir, I see no reason to vote for you.

Senator McCain, the only way you can earn my vote is to speak to the issues I care about. It appears to me that your main issues are:

1) Stopping "global warming" (whatever that is).
2) Amnesty for illegal aliens.
3) "Reforming" government.
4) A plan in Iraq that rhetoric aside is no different from Obama's.
5) Opposition to any drilling for domestic oil.
6) Obama's scary, so don't vote for him.

Frankly sir, I don't care about your five main issues and your scare tactics against Obama are not working. If anything sir, your issues and your stances on those issues are making me less likely to vote for you.

Now Senator McCain, here are the issues I care about:

1) The economy and more importantly, the weakening dollar
2) A grand national strategy on foreign policy to deal with the post-Cold War and post 9/11 world
3) Shrinking the size of the Federal government
4) Making America more competitive in the world economy.

In short sir, where do you stand on those issues? The only candidate who talked about the dollar was Ron Paul (though I did not support him or his solutions). Your only mention about foreign policy other than Iraq was a joke about bombing Iran. I frankly don't trust you on taxes and the size of government because you've opposed the Bush tax cuts and supported programs like No Child Left Behind. Finally, you have not addressed how to make America more competitive in the world economy by proposing deregulation and reducing corporate tax rates dramatically.

Basically sir, address my issues or I along with many other conservatives and libertarians will stay home or vote 3rd party this year. You will only have yourself to blame if the dreaded phrase of "President Barack Obama" comes to pass.

Sincerely,

Kevin Boyd
