Let’s face it, the liberal Democrat party are driving the country on a reckless frenzy into the ground, and we are all getting sucked into the whirlwind.  Times are only get worse as we let these fools run our country into the dirt.

I tried to warn everyone that this would happen but nobody wanted to believe that Obama was anything but spectacular.

Barack Obama announced that he will have Rick Warren give the invocation at the inauguration on January 20th. This choice has caused an uproar across the nation but I have to ask, “What is the big deal?”

Granted you can argue that Obama is leaving his liberal cronies in the dark, forsaking the gays, passing up the Jeremiah Wrights…. But it really isn’t that major.

Now don’t get me wrong, it is exciting to see him pick a true evangelical for this honor, but let’s not everyone get all up in arms about it.

President-Elect Barack Obama refused to answer questions about whether he went back on his word to hold a “hands off approach” to filling his Senate seat for Illinois.  Obama appeared to lose his composure as the questions kept coming.

Questions keep arising about the connection between Obama and Blago, details will keep coming in time.

People honestly watch this guy and take him seriously?  Really?

“When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen,” Wurzelbacher told Beck. “I asked him some pretty direct questions. Some of the answers you guys are gonna receive they appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.”

My question to Joe is: “Why did you not come out and say that on the campaign trail?”  In my humble opinion, this is just Joe’s way of trying to snag media attention one more time.  He’s on a wave and he is continuing to ride it.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Earlier this week we heard the stunning news that the Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, was arrested for attempting to sell off the Senate seat of President-Elect Barack Obama.

The Governor insists that he has done nothing wrong and that the position was too important to give away for free.  He was going to give the seat to the highest bidder according to the authorities.

Since the arrest, Obama has been working tirelessly to distance himself from Blagojevich and his wrong-doing and asked that his staff report all communications between parties.  The President-Elect also called for the resignation of the Governor in a press conference.

But are there any connections between Obama and Governor Blagojevich?  Many resources today report that Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, has been having conversations with Blagojevich about who should take the Senate seat.  While this does not connect Obama to the scandal, you have to wonder how much Emmanuel knew, if he knew, about what was going on.

During the 2008 campaign there was a lawsuit filed by Philip Berg, claiming that Senator Barack Obama was not a natural born U.S. Citizen, which would make him ineligible for the Presidency.  The case has been turned down several times and Berg took it to the Supreme Court.  However, today all of the hopes of Berg and his followers were doused as the Supreme Court denied to even hear the case.

I would call myself an insider on the issue, as I have served on many of these smaller campaigns and have seen this happen time and time again.

The problem with the party is that they don’t let the candidates make the decisions.  They step in and treat them like puppets, telling them what to say, and when to say it.  That is why we had disasters like the Katie Couric interview, it was not because Sarah Palin doesn’t know what she is doing.  However, with the outcome of interviews like this, who can blame the Democrats but to paint a picture that our candidates know nothing?

A great example is to look at the speeches of John McCain during the campaign, and then to look at his concession speech.  I have heard time and time again that people who voted for Obama would have voted McCain if the man on election night was the same man during the campaign.

Two years ago I worked for Ralph Norman who ran in South Carolina against Congressman John Spratt.  Ralph had a fighting chance until the National Party stepped in and ruined everything.  Not to mention there was a hot head campaign manager who refused to work with the team.  His way or the highway.  Having worked on many campaigns before I knew a lot of his decisions were poor choices, as did others on the campaign staff, but he just didn’t care.  It is junk like this that kills Republicans on Election Day.

The Republican Party needs a huge overhaul before the Nation will be ready to put them back in power.

It has been two weeks since the Election and the passage of California’s Proposition 8.  Since the election there has been protest after protest to overturn the will of the voters.

The First Amendment gives people the right to peaceably assemble, but these protests have been getting out of hand.

Opponents of Prop 8, have turned to violence, and disorderly protests in streets across America to voice their opinion.  The problem is, Police Departments in some areas have been told they cannot engage the protesters.  Quite honestly, anyone involved in this type of protesting should be arrested on the spot.  There is a way to protest, and this is not the way.  Not to mention, this type of protesting is not winning anybody over for their “cause.”

“We had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser at my house, where I’d made a small donation to his earliest political campaign,” he writes.

But right-wing commentators tried to use those connections to smear Obama, he says.

“Obama’s political rivals and enemies apparently saw an opportunity to deepen a dishonest narrative about him, that he is somehow un-American, alien, linked to radical ideas, a closet terrorist, a sympathizer with extremism,” Ayers wrote.

Ayers was the purported “terrorist” Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was referring to when she claimed that Obama was “palling around with terrorists.”

This seems a little more than “just a guy in the neighborhood,” as Obama stated in one of the debates.

If Senator Obama cannot be truthful with us about his relationships with terrorists in the campaign, what will he be dishonest about in the Presidency?  Looks like stooped to any level, including deceiving the American people, to win this election.

Stay tuned here and watch the returns come in for the Federal Elections!

Voters have been turning out in record numbers this year.  More election coverage coming later, we apologize that we haven’t been live broadcasting as promised, we have been having technical issues.

Don’t forget that today is Election Day!

Today will be a busy schedule for the Common Sense Blog, I will be having live updates on the Common Sense Show page at 11:00, 1:00, 4:00, and some later tonight TBD.

The Common Sense Show at Blog Talk Radio, will most likely air at 10:00 PM EDT tonight.  Check back here throughout the day for updates!

Also throughout the day updates will be coming as I cover the election so stay tuned.  Also, tonight will be a very special edition of “The Common Sense Show” with a few unexpected surprises.  Be sure to check out the show tonight, it is one you will not want to miss!

As the close of the election is on our footstep, many McCain/Palin supporters gathered at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, North Carolina Saturday.

As I sat with the rest of the media waiting the arrival of Sarah Palin, I kept hearing chants of “Palin Power,” “NoBama,” and “Read my Lipstick!”

The enthusiasm that was present in the crowd was absolutely phenomenal.  Sarah Palin, brings an energy to this election like we have never seen.

It is no doubt that the Republican Vice Presidential Nominee electrifies this campaign, but the question is why?  The answer is simple, Sarah Palin is truly, “One of the People.”

She is not entrenched in the Washington way of life, she is a regular person who loves her country and wants to do a service.  In Raleigh, you saw people from all walks of life, but they have one dream, and one goal, and that dream is to put “Country First.”

We have seen time and time again this display of Patriotism from John McCain and Sarah Palin, and we have seen that it is something that Senator Obama lacks.

Many times during the event from several speakers, we heard shots at the Liberal Media, who have been mostly negative toward the McCain/Palin ticket, showing a bias and “Love Fest” toward Barack Obama.  One lady, Joann Landry, who is from Alaska had a mission, and that mission was to point it out.  Joann had a sign bashing all media outlets except for Fox News, she also quickly became the life of the party as she walked around getting people to cheer for the sign, and eventually, media attention.

Joann did end up being on the air on News 14 that night, but most of her comments were edited out.

All in all the event was a huge success, and Palin electrified the crowd when she came on the stage and delivered her 30 minute speech.  Good luck to her and John McCain tomorrow.

I have had many many comments on my videos and on my blog, some very hurtful, some off topic, some just plain mean. I have tried to focus on things that I can document on Senator Obama. You have asked me to give why I support McCain and in this response I give those reasons. Take it for what it is worth, we will see you on Election Day.

I agree that the homeless must be allowed to vote, that is their Constitutional right.  However, there needs to be a better system to register them by.  There could be a centralized database, or shelters where they could be logged, and use that database to register them to vote.

To use undocumented landmarks allows much more room for voter fraud, which is already becoming more prevalent in this year’s election.  This is another instance where liberal judiciaries make it easier for fraud to take place in the voting booth.

President Bush has already asked the Department of Justice to look over the Ohio elections this year as results to the potential fraud that has been reported.

Tomorrow night Congressional Candidate Bill Russell will be live on The Common Sense Show with David.  Bill is running against Congressman John Murtha who has been all over the news recently for the following comments:

Join us tomorrow night on The Common Sense Show as we talk to Bill about what he will do differently in Congress, and what his ideas for change are.  This is a show you won’t want to miss.

I put together a parody of Obama’s upcoming infomercial on Wednesday night…  However, if Obama were to actually tell American’s the truth, this is what he would really say!

What exactly did Senator Biden mean by this?  Is he expecting an attack?  What if John McCain is elected, will there still be an attack?  Face it, Joe Biden is a gift to John McCain as far as Campaigns go…

Ok if you can’t laugh at this…..

The only stipulation is that the Vice President has no voting power in the Senate unless there is a tie.  This is just another attempt of the liberals to make it appear that the Republicans try to “Abuse their power.”  It appears that the Liberals are the ones who don’t know the Constitution of the United States, not Sarah Palin…

This is food for thought…  Let me know what you think!

“So we can spread the wealth around”

a political and economic theory of social organization that advocatesthat the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Obama’s plan will cut taxes overall, reducing revenues to below the levels that prevailed under Ronald Reagan (less than 18.2 percent of GDP). The Obama tax plan is a net tax cut – his tax relief for middle class families is larger than the revenue raised by his tax changes for families over $250,000. Coupled with his commitment to cut unnecessary spending, Obama will pay for this tax relief while bringing down the budget deficit. 

This is a direct quote from Obama’s plan.  Obama even said when speaking with “Joe the Plumber,” that spreading the wealth around is good for everyone.

Now here is my problem.  If someone works hard for their money, and becomes successful, they have achieved the “American Dream.”  Why should we take that money from the individual and send it to someone else?  We shouldn’t.  Everyone has equal opportunity to make a name for themself in this country whether you want to believe that or not.  Everyone has equal opportunity to work hard at what they do, and strive to be successful.  Socialism is not the answer.  Obama, not the change we need.
