Nine (9) Republican turncoats vote along with Democrats to confirm Sonia Sotomayor for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hint--Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was one of them, but this time John McCain was NOT.

McCain, Graham, Collins, and Snowe
No, it's not a singing group like Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. They are more like 'the four horsemen of the apocalypse.'
McCain, Graham, Collins, and Snowe are the four Republicans who are most likely to vote in favor of the cap and trade energy tax in the Senate.
The good news is that a dozen Democrats have expressed doubt about the bill due to its enormous cost to the citizens and our economy.
Read all about it at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Tell a friend, and let's get this thing stopped.

RINO Support for Nationalization of Banks
RINOS, such as Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, have stated that they may support a plan being considered to nationalize the nation's troubled banks.
And this is the subject of my column today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Apparently a plan is being considered in Congress that is modeled after 'the Swedish Plan,' which Barack Obama is said to support.
Socialism is on the march, my friends, but not without protest. You will find info about that too in my new column.
I encourage you to read it and spread the word. And thanks!

'How Conservatives Lose Elections'
Middle East expert and internationally noted journalist Caroline Glick has written an insightful article entitled 'How Conservatives Lose Elections.' The article points out that Israeli candidate for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making the same mistake John McCain made during the 2008 Presidential campaign.
With the exception of failing to note that John McCain is no real conservative, Glick perceptively observes that no conservative candidate for public office can win by alienating his/her Party base.
Such a tactic in all likelihood cost McCain the election, and it threatens to cost Netanyahu his in Israel. The article provides the details.

McCain Goes on Letterman, Praises Obama
John McCain shows us on a regular basis these days that being more conservative than Obama does not make one a conservative.
The 'maverick' appeared on Letterman and immediately began to praise Obama for his 'centrist' policies.
This is not the first time McCain has heaped praise on the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. When Sarah Palin was being bombarded by criticism from some of McCain's inept campaign staffers, McCain went out of his way to praise Obama for his Cabinet picks rather than defend Palin.
McCain portrayed himself as a conservative during the campaign, and when compared to Obama, this is true. But in essence, McCain is no conservative. His status as a Senate 'maverick' always has a way of expressing itself in an unacceptable willingness to set aside principle in order to cavort with anti-freedom loonies on the Democratic side of the aisle.
This is precisely why he lost.
And even in defeat, McCain continues to praise losers.

RINO McCain Pledges to 'Work With' Obama
Now that we are post-election, John McCain has appeared to return to his RINO ways by pledging to 'work with' Barack Obama during a special meeting between the two former rivals on Monday.
The pledge is a symptom of why McCain lost the election, and only confirms the suspicions of millions of conservatives around the country that McCain moved to the Right only out of political necessity.
'Republicans In Name Only' normally do not win national elections. And they certainly took a beating in this year's general election in the House and Senate.
McCain had plenty of opportunities to do what was necessary to win the election, but he consistently passed them up. Perhaps the reason is because in reality he is ideologically closer to Barack Obama than he is Sarah Palin.
But we shall see. We have not yet seen which path McCain will choose to follow in the Senate. If he intends to 'work with' Obama by supporting his Leftwing policies, then we will know he lied about being a conservative.
If, on the other hand, he helps Republicans block socialistic programs initiated by Obama, then we will know that working with the new President has stipulations and limitations.
We can only hope that McCain will not thwart conservative plans to derail the Obama onslaught of unbridled government growth and power.

It's Showtime, Folks! Let's Roll!
Okay, this is the day when it all happens. It's showtime! Let's roll!
The Liberty Sphere will be posting throughout the day to keep you informed on election news.
We start by saying that there is great optimism in the John McCain camp. Staffers and reporters who have covered the Senator for years say that rarely have they ever seen McCain so upbeat.
The reason? Polls in the battleground states and swing states are showing an encouraging shift toward McCain. In 7 key states McCain has pulled ahead, or even, or slightly behind within the margin of error.
And this includes Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, and Missouri.
The most accurate poll of the 2004 election, the IBD/TIPP poll, shows undecided voters breaking toward McCain. And this poll claims that there are still roughly 9 or 10% who consider themselves undecided...more than enough votes to swing the election to McCain, erasing whatever lead Obama may have had.
It's not over, folks. Get out there and vote! Show the mainstream media, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid that there is a vast silent army of voters in the heartland of America that will not stand for an Obama Presidency!

Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/31/08
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
Texas Fred reports breaking news that 2 minor earthquakes have hit the Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas area within the last 45 minutes or so.
Gun Rights Examiner has David Codrea's latest article on 'no guns' signs in Ohio rest areas.
From Codrea's War on Guns:
*David will host a national gun-talk radio show this Sunday.
*David provides a good tongue-lashing to a Texas dingbat on the subject of guns.
*Ryan Horsley is back in the news on 'being prepared.'
Armed and Safe takes to task the rabidly anti-gun 'Gun Guys.'
JR has the MUST-read of the day entitled, 'Is There a Reasonable Gun Control Law?'
Blogstitution notes that Pennsylvania Congressman Jack Murtha may lose his re-election bid. Well, there may be a good reason, particularly when you refer to your constituents as 'rednecks' and 'racists.'
21 Guns, Salute provides an extraordinary read entitled, 'I Believe.' Do yourselves a favor and go read it all.
Nicki reports that gangs of ravenous lawyers have already descended upon Florida getting ready to look for voting irregularities on November 4. I think they're wasting their time. There's already plenty enough fraud to investigate in ACORN.
Sebastian says McCain is going back to Pennsylvania for a major rally on Saturday, indicating the race is much closer there than the polls suggest.
Say Uncle has info indicating that Obama supports a federal law to ban concealed carry nationwide. We reported this some weeks ago, citing an interview Obama gave in February, but this latest information indicates Obama is willing to go much further to ban the practice than the original article indicated.
Robb Allen responds to a nutcase who says if Obama loses, blood will run in the streets. While I don't think it will be on the scale indicated by the loony 'toons Robb quotes, I have said all along that if Obama loses we can expect the Obama-zombies to go neanderthal.
Roberta X adds her comments to the 'blood in the streets' scenario.
Mindful Musings notes the philosophical argument between Mike Vanderbeogh and Jeff Knox. Read it. The issues are critical.
Western Rifle Shooters Association has more on the controversy, including Vanderboegh's thorough response to Knox.
Alphecca has 'Reasons to Vote for McCain.'
Mike McCarville posts the latest Rasmussen Poll numbers.
Gun Pundit posts the 'Second Amendment Voter Guide.'
Days of Our Trailers has the story of vandals digging up McCain signs and replacing them with Obama signs.
ARRA News reports that people using the names of dead citizens have cast early ballots in Texas.
An Ol' Broad's Ramblings has today's incredibly funny 'Obamarama.'

Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/30/08
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
From David Codrea's War on Guns:
*The Mere Mention of a Gun
*Updated Info on Dan Cooper at Cooper Firearms
*Preparations Going As Planned. III.
Gun Rights Examiner has Codrea's latest entitled, 'Truth and Consequences.'
Mindful Musings posts Vanderboegh's latest entitled, 'Community Organizers with Firearms.'
Of Arms and the Law wonders why the McCain-Palin campaign put the gun issue on the back burner when the record of Obama and Biden is so dismal.
Western Rifle Shooters Association submits a nominee for the quote of the year, and it's a good quote from a good man.
Insight on Freedom warns that the upcoming election could signal a dire irreversible rift in the 'United' States.
Syd has a great read on Weapons Cache, for those who wish to be thoroughly prepared.
Texas Fred provides an interesting article/commentary on the Vatican's attempts to address sexual deviancy among potential priests.
The Rustmeister points to some gun news in the blogosphere today. Give it a read!
Bloviating Zeppelin has THE must-read of the day! This political cartoon gets to the heart of the problem with Barack Obama's view of redistribution. I say let's just take half of his 600 million and give it to McCain, since McCain has less!
Armed and Safe blogs about one good man running for office in corruption-infested New Jersey.
JR demonstrates that Texas Democrats don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to their Party's record on gun rights.
Alphecca has the explosive story that Obama is now linked to even MORE terrorists.
Sebastian comments on Chris Cox vs. Paul Helmke on Fox News. The gun issue is getting at least some traction.
Breda writes a great little piece on Annie Oakley, the 'little sure shot.'
Nicki found some Obama relatives living in abject poverty. Apparently, 'spreading the wealth around' applies to all but him!
Dustin at Dustin's Gun Blog reports that he got hit with vandalism as a group of thugs aimed at his yard signs.
The Columbus Dispatch is reporting today that illegal government snooping into Joe the Plumber's personal records is turning out to be much broader and deeper than first reported.
Dr. John Lott points out that now the Obama campaign has lowered its definition of 'rich' to those making $150,000. Mmmmm, now let me see, first it was $250,000. Then it was $200,000. And now it's down to $150,000. First he says 95% will get a tax cut. Then when it's pointed out that 40% of those pay no taxes at all, we wind up with 55%...but Obama is still saying 95%. But somehow he's got to get the money from somewhere to pay for the cut...so, the 'rich' category just keeps getting bigger, with the threshold much lower. And what does THAT tell you?
Gateway Pundit reports big news today. The Rasmussen Poll shows that for the very first time in this campaign, more Americans now trust McCain on the economy than Obama. This is shocking given that Chairman Ba-O has made his Socialist economic views the centerpiece of his campaign.

The Final Stretch
With one week to go until Election Day, John McCain and Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama and Joe Biden head down the final stretch of Campaign '08, making their case before an electorate that shows signs of being more fired up this year than any in the recent past.
No doubt the citizens are 'Bush-weary' as they were in 2001 when they were described as having a bad case of 'Clinton fatigue.'
And, with the nation's first African-American chosen as the standard-bearer of one of the 2 major political parties, and with the very first Alaskan governor and the first female to be chosen to serve on the GOP ticket, the excitement generated in this campaign has been one for the history books.
The mainstream media and the Obama campaign have all but proclaimed victory before a single vote as been counted and before most votes have even been cast.
Polls have varied widely.
But most reputable pollsters are admitting that in this final stretch, the numbers show a vastly tightening race.
Only 4 days ago Gallup showed a 7-point gap between McCain and Obama, with Obama gaining 51% support among those surveyed.
As of today, McCain has closed that gap, picking up 5 points in 4 days, and is now within 2 points of Obama--well within the poll's margin of error.
Other reputable pollsters, Rasmussen, Zogby, TIPP, and others also show tightening numbers.
The battleground states, of course, will be key to winning the White House. Polls show Obama ahead in Florida, Colorado, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, but with McCain showing signs of a last-minute surge in at least 2 of those states.
McCain is slightly ahead in Missouri and Ohio, but within the polls' margin of error.
One electoral factor to bear in mind--in the last few days of a campaign, undecided voters have a history of breaking in favor of the underdog. And McCain has been running behind during most of the Summer and Fall.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 10/17/08
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
ALERT! U.S. Supreme Court complicit in Ohio Voter Fraud! The Court ruled today that Ohio's law-breaking Secretary of State can count 200,000 registrations without checking their validity, although they appear suspicious. Thus, once again it is 'vote early, vote often' for Democrats in Ohio. This election is already a sham.
More Obama-perpetrated voter fraud in Indiana as Obama workers cross state lines to 'get out the ACORN-intitiated get out the Obama vote.'
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Obama campaign attempted to register inmates at prisons in Michigan.
Mike McCarville reports that yet another poll, the AP-Yahoo poll, shows McCain and Obama in a statistical tie.

BREAKING NEWS! MCCAIN-OBAMA TIED!
Mike McCarville, Matt Drudge, and others are reporting that the latest Gallup Poll of likely voters, which was released on Thursday, shows John McCain and Barack Obama in a statistical tie for the White House.
The poll shows Obama leading McCain by 49-47%, which is within the survey's margin of error and is thus considered a statistical dead-heat.
Gallup's figures indicate a significant shift in voter preference in the week since the last poll was taken. At one point Gallup had indicated a 9-point advantage for Obama.
It is to be noted that the poll was conducted prior to Wednesday evening's debate. While some surveys show Obama winning that debate, many observers also admit that it was McCain's strongest showing yet.
And, contrary to popular opinion among so-called 'pundits,' the ads McCain has been running, which inform the voters of Obama's dangerous associations and ideas, are working. The pundits claim these are 'negative attack-ads.'
But the fact is the voters appreciate being informed of a candidate's life, identity, background, ideology, and voting record. This is not perceived as 'negative' by the voters themselves, no matter what self-appointed pundits say.
Thus, when Sarah Palin points out the plain truth about Barack Obama and Bill Ayers, the voters do not necessarily view this as a negative attack. When John McCain informs the electorate that it makes no sense for Obama to claim to give 95% of Americans a tax cut when he has proposed a trillion dollars in new government spending, the voters perceive that as no personal attack but as vital information.
It is also clear that many voters believe that John McCain is, indeed, providing specific proposals on taxes and spending that differentiate him from the nebulous, irrational proposals of Obama.
McCain has claimed for himself the Reagan heritage of reigning in runaway government spending and lowering taxes.
Thus, the race is getting close within these last 3 weeks of campaigning.

A Few Quick Notes on 'Joe the Plumber'
'Joe the Plumber,' as he is called, is Joe Wurzelbacher of Ohio, who has worked for a plumbing company for a number of years. Joe wishes to buy the small plumbing company.
But Joe discovered that Barack Obama's tax plan for small business will put him a much higher tax bracket, thus punishing him for any success he may have with his business.
Here are a few quick facts on 'Joe the Plumber':
*Joe is not rich as Barack Obama claims. He is an ordinary guy--a hard worker--who wants to succeed.
*Becoming a small business owner will not make Joe rich. His expenses for operating the business and providing jobs will cut into whatever profit he makes.
*Barack Obama wishes to tax that profit if it reaches the $250,000 level. For a small business with employees, $250,000 is not a vast sum of money.
*Barack Obama had an encounter with Joe in Ohio during which Joe told the Senator that his tax plan would hurt him if he becomes a business owner. And how did Barack respond? 'We have to spread the wealth around.' What wealth?
*It is clear that what Obama intends to do is rob from those who succeed to give to other citizens of his choosing. This takes away any motivation to succeed.
*It is also clear that Obama's tax plan is not simply targeted to the 'big oil companies and corporations.' He has also targeted small businesses that barely make it.
*The present economy cannot withstand such an onslaught on those who create jobs. The result will be layoffs and less hiring in the small businesses that employ 80% of Americans. Some of these businesses will be forced to close.
*Barack Obama and the Democrats are now blasting Joe the Plumber for being 'selfish.' Selfish? It is HIS CAPITAL that will provide JOBS! What lamebrains.
Say what you will about John McCain's less-than-stellar moments during his long Senate career. But on taxes, he is no Socialist who will rob business owners to give to somebody else.

Barack the Liar
Let's have some fun enumerating and identifying at least some of the numerous lies Barack Obama told during Wednesday's night's 3rd and final Presidential debate.
1. Barack denied beginning his campaign for the Illinois Senate in the living room of terrorist Bill Ayers. That is a lie. The record from all of those who were there say it is true. Not only that but Ayers helped bankroll Obama's campaigns for the Illinois legislature, along with convicted felon Tony Rezko.
2. Barack said that Bill Ayers is 'a university professor in Chicago,' insinuating that he has moved beyond his terrorist past. That is a lie. The truth is that Bill Ayers never repudiated his bombing of the Pentagon, Congress, and several other structures during the 60s, and in 2001 he stated 'he wished he had done more.' Ayers is nothing more than an extremist Leftwing radical to this very day.
3. Barack stated that the Annenberg Foundation, which funded Ayers' radical Leftwing educational program, is a mainstream organization made up of many Republicans. And this legitimizes their funding for Ayers how? Ayers' educational program, which Obama worked for, is not about education but about political extremism and raising up a generation of Leftwing radicals. The 'education' moniker is nothing but a front for the organization's subversive political goals.
4. Barack has identified anyone making $250,000 as 'rich,' including small business owners who include their companies' profits together with any compensation they may have received as a sub-chapter 'S' corporation or an 'LLC.' That is a lie. These small business owners are not rich. They do provide jobs, however. And Barack wants to raise their taxes at a troublesome time in the economy. This is part of his 'Robin Hood' approach to steal from others to give money to the poor. 'Plumber Joe' is a good example. Barack brushed aside his complaints about taxes and told him he wanted to 'spread the wealth around.' Joe is not wealthy, Barack.
5, Barack claims pro-life and pro-abortion folk can 'come together and find common ground.' That is a lie. It is impossible for those who value human life to find common ground with someone who supports infanticide. Barack is one of the most rabid pro-abortion advocates in the country, and he supported a bill that would remove ANY and ALL restrictions on any type of abortion at any time during the pregnancy. THIS is unconscionable.
6. Barack stated he voted to withhold medical care from babies who survive abortion attempts because Illinois already had such a law on the books. That is patently FALSE. The issue came up as a result of a specific case where a doctor botched an abortion and the staff took the baby, which was still alive, put it in a dark closet, and denied water and food and medical care to the infant. The proposed law would have prevented that atrocity. Barack voted against preventing such atrocities.
7. Barack says repeatedly he wants a tax cut for 95% of Americans. That is a lie. He wants the Bush tax cuts to expire, which will immediately give Americans the largest single tax increase in U.S. history. You can't claim you are for tax cuts if you want the Bush tax cuts to expire. That means ALL of us will pay higher taxes.
8. Barack blames Republicans for the economic troubles in the housing industry. That is a lie. Look no further than the Democratic Congress and Democrats such as Chris Dodd, Charles Rangel, and Barney Frank, and you will find who is to blame. Even Barack had cozy deals with Fannie and Freddie's CEOs, and it was Fannie and Freddie that started this whole mess. Plus, don't forget the Democrats have controlled Congress for 2 years, not Republicans.
9. Barack lied about the McCain record in Congress and even his own non-record. He blames McCain for voting for budgets submitted by the President, although they had been tweaked by Congress, when a majority of both Parties in Congress voted for them or else they would not have passed. But then, Barack isn't really in a position to know what happens in Congress. He has been out campaigning for President during the entirety of his short, 2-year Senate career.
10. Barack lied about the McCain healthcare plan leading to employers dropping workers from coverage. In fact, BARACK's centralized government-controlled healthcare plan is a sure-fire way to motivate employers to drop their employees from coverage. They will simply conclude that since government is going to do it, then why should they?
And then, it's hello Canada and Great Britain with their disastrous national healthcare plans. You had better hope you stay VERY healthy if Barack Obama is elected President.
Thus, the debate on Wednesday night did nothing but confirm that Barack can calmly and reassuringly look you in the eye and tell one lie after another like a smooth-talking used car salesman on a back lot in the south side of Chicago.
1. Barack denied beginning his campaign for the Illinois Senate in the living room of terrorist Bill Ayers. That is a lie. The record from all of those who were there say it is true. Not only that but Ayers helped bankroll Obama's campaigns for the Illinois legislature, along with convicted felon Tony Rezko.

Notes on 3rd Presidential Debate--10/15/08
This was by far the best nationally televised debate so far during this campaign. McCain and Obama 'mixed it up' and went after each other on various issues, making for an interesting exchange.
But let's get right down to the main point.
John McCain won on the issues.
Barack Obama won on style.
But a silvery-tongued liar is still a liar, and a smooth style often is nothing more than a cover for a person's real self, which is often hidden by a very well-crafted outward persona.
Thus, if we are electing a silvery-tongued orator who can let lies slide from his lips as smoothly as water glides off of a duck's back, then Obama is your man.
But if you want a President, a leader, a reformer, and a man who values the sanctity of human life and always puts his country first, then McCain is your choice.
And yes, it really is that simple.
