The next round of debates will be tomorrow night and it
seems to me that only one candidate is willing to discuss the issues facing us
today, but I am interested to see what the average voter would like to hear the
Presidential candidates discuss. Personally, I will be listening for the
following:
1.
Job Loss
in the US – currently taxpayers have lost approximately 750,000 jobs in the
last nine months
2.
The Bailouts
or Rescue plans – currently taxpayers have given up about 1 trillion
dollars to large corporations
3.
The Iraq/Afghanistan
Wars – currently taxpayers are sharing the burden of 10 billion dollars a
month to fund both wars and we are borrowing the money from China for this bill
4.
Healthcare
– currently, most citizens cannot afford the rising costs of healthcare and it
could be made affordable had our leaders used taxpayer money wisely
5.
Energy - this is becoming a big problem as many
taxpayers are facing rising costs this winter
Now, I can list many more, but right now this is the main
focus for me, and I wonder what other voters think, give me your list and let
us pay attention to see if either candidate address our concerns.

In a well-hidden story over the weekend probably due to the
bailouts of several corporations, seven Palin aides have now agreed to testify
in the abuse of Power scandal, according to Matt Apuzzo, Associated Press
Writer on Sunday. In his article, Mr.
Apuzzo stated, “Lawmakers subpoenaed seven state employees to testify in the
inquiry but they challenged those subpoenas. After a judge rejected that
challenge last week, the employees decided to testify, Alaska
Attorney General Talis Colberg said”, wow it seems as though we
are going to finally get to this bottom of this scandal. To view the entire story, please visit http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081006/ap_on_el_pr/palin_

I ask you, if she were to become VP,
would she also abuse the powers allowed by the US Constitution as she stated
during her debate with Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, let me know what you think.

I, one of millions of taxpayers, would like to thank you Congressional
Leaders for the wonderful treatment bestowed upon me for the bailouts, or
rescue of the largest corporations in America, you were too kind in your
generosity of our money, but next time before you decide to get in bed, can you
take us to dinner first? First, it was
the $29 billion bailout of Bear Stearns, which transpired on March 14, 2008, however,
by March 20, 2008 the Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher
Cox said the collapse of Bear Stearns was due to a lack of confidence, not a
lack of capital, for this I want to thank you for wasting more of our
money. Consequently, the Bear Stearns bailout
that has been seen as an extreme-case scenario continues to raise significant
questions about Fed intervention, and on May 29, 2008 Bear Stearns shareholders
approved the sale to JPMorgan Chase at the $10-per-share price.
Now, after taking billions of dollars to help a company like
Bear Stearns in May you all decided to assume control of Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, for another $25 billion dollars because the US Secretary of Treasurer ascertained
"that conservatorship was the only form in which I would commit taxpayer
money to the GSEs". This bailout was
also approved by Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke but who did not
state that it would cost us taxpayers up to $200 billion. Now, if anyone is keeping track that is two
bailouts in a matter of months worth more than $225 billion thus far, but wait,
there is more as AIG and Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 worth
$700 billion dollars but could rise to trillions once everything is settled,
again, could you take us to dinner first?
Hold the line as many taxpayers are not aware of the secret bailout
pending of the auto industry that transpired last month around September 18,
2008 in which GM, Chrysler, and Ford want at least $25 billion in guaranteed
loans, when were you going to tell us this tidbit of information. However, “that plea ignited a firestorm of
questions for CEO Rick Wagoner, who insisted that the government incentives he
seeks - in the form of a proposed $25 billion loan to GM, Ford and Chrysler
that's now before Congress - are not a bailout”, well what would you call it as
a taxpayer, maybe its label could be rescue plan, that works better,
right. Let us now tally the bailouts or
rescue plans thus far, wow, that would be too much for the average Joe Six Pack
who is working just to pay the rent or feed his children or pay for the rising
cost of gas to get around. I personally
am sick of bailing out or rescuing some corporations who have for years wasted
their money and now want me and other taxpayers to pay for these severance
agreements while the employees of these organizations are on the unemployment
line or close to it. I, a taxpayer, am
requesting that not one CEO get a dime in severance pay, as it is unfair to
take our money to give them another big check.
I am urging all taxpayers, let us put our differences aside
and see that we are getting no dinner prior to giving away all that we own to
bailout corporations who by the way make more in a few days than most of us
make in lifetime. We the taxpayers are
looking at giving up more than one trillion dollars to help stabilize the
economy, now I ask each one of you, who is going to help stabilize us when the
need arise as it will not be the government as they have no money which is why
they are using ours, right. Tell me what
you think about this mess, can you really afford to continue down this economic
road to nowhere, as I would like these leaders to take me to dinner first, what
about you?

According to the Associated Press moments ago, John McCain
is suspending all activities in the state of Michigan as he is continuing to
lose ground in a key battle ground state, wow, things go from bad to worse with
the GOP campaign as it appears that America is speaking loud and clear. The article by Jonathan Martin states “McCain
will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff
to more competitive states, including Wisconsin,
Ohio and Florida. Wisconsin went for
Kerry in 2004, Ohio and Florida for Bush”, well good riddance as it seems this
is a plus for Michigan voters who have seen the light.
Now, I am asking the American voting public, do you think
this is the first of many others to come or is this an anomaly, you decide and
let me know what you think. The entire
story can be found following this below link from a very reputable news source,
you know the kind the McCain camp cannot recall (lol).

According to Fox 5 Website John McCain’s reply to why he has
been losing in the polls since the financial crisis was “because life is not
fair”, well Mr. McCain did you ever stop to think that no one has faith in you
to lead this country? Did you ever stop
to think that although you have many supporters in the GOP party, you are not
very popular with the American Public as a whole? Did you ever stop to think that losing in
2000 to the current president makes you even less likely to win this time
around? Did you ever stop to think that
the ideology you have is resulting in the poll loss? Personally, I do not put much stock in poll
numbers and know from history what the Bubba vote can do, but I do believe that
some of America has opened their eyes and the way you showed the disdain for
your opponent during the debate clearly showed what kind of leader you would
be. Now I am fully aware that you have a
base that thinks along the same lines as you do, but I am confident that common
sense will prevail in the general election as America realizes we need someone
who will bring unity to this country and restore America’s values in the global
world. Mr. McCain goes on to say that “"Look,
we're doing fine,” as well as “But I'm very happy with where we are",
however, I beg to differ even though I do not put much stock in poll numbers it
is easy to ascertain that the more the McCain campaign speaks, the more and
more America shouts, NO HOW, NO WAY, NO McCain or Palin!

The host of PBS'"Washington Week"
and senior correspondent on "The NewsHour" said she did not tell the Commission on Presidential Debates about
the book.
Now, I ask since you have omitted
comments:
Well, if the GOP campaign had of read the
newspapers and countless other news sources which include Time magazine who
covered the story about the book on August 21, 2008. It reads:
The Barack Obama and John McCain campaigns have agreed
to hold three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate in
September and October sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates. The
campaigns have come to the earliest agreement on presidential debates reached
in any general election in recent history. This announcement reflects the
presidential campaigns' agreement on dates, locations, and the formats for the
fall debates. Campaign-appointed debate negotiators House Democratic Caucus
Chairman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said they were
pleased to have reached an early agreement to provide the American people with
the opportunity to see and hear the candidates debate the critical issues
facing the country. The two campaigns have accepted sponsorship of the debates
by the Commission on Presidential Debates, subject to the debates being
conducted under the terms of their agreement.

Y3,
I am close behind you. We are at a great site, with people who are
educated and do not hide behind their race, their color and their
creed. We do not have to deal with ignorance, stupidity, shrews, twits
and the dregs of society who seem to troll this blogging site. Some of
them are part of the problem plaguing this country. They waste their
employers time, blogging their personal BLEEP and have the nerve to
collect a paycheck. It is nice to know that these fools are of the same
color, spewing their left wing garbage to the like minded left winging
morons. They do not have the gumption, nor the scruples to examine the
issues for what they are and blog in an educated fashion. Now why is
that not surprising?
The black KKK on this Board is alive
and well. They wield their version of racism and hide behind the skirts
of Fox. They post inciteful blogs and expect the rest of us to respond
in a mild fashion. Your hypocracy is a beacon for the rest of you.
Instead of burning crosses, they lob molotov cocktails. Sadly they fall
short. They are so blinded with their racism and hate, they cannot see
straight. When they cannot debate in a civilised fashion, out come the
feigned cries of racism ... oh Puh .. Leez ...shove that song of racism
that you sing, so out of tune, up your veritable pieholes.
Some
of you are so pathetic, you sing out of both sides of your mouth. Some
of you may have left the ghetto, but the ghetto has not left you. When
you are cornered, your ghetto upbringing shines thru.
I for
one am glad I was invited to join this other group. What a diverse
group they are! Without the distraction of the stupidity that reigns
supreme on this Board, I have learned so much ! It is a place where
great ideas have been exchanged and views have been challenged in a
civilised manner. This is what separates us humans from the primates on
this Board. Just becareful. Ensure you knot your tail really, really
tight around that branch. You may fall on your head and destroy the few
brain cells you posses, even if those brain cells control the stupid
side of your character.
My comments that I cannot post to your blog:
Well, I am a 100% black woman and according to you, I fall
in the category of wasting my employer’s time, blogging my personal BLEEP
and have the nerve to collect a paycheck.
Well, let me tell you something, it is so sad that you people believe
that blacks do not own anything and must use other avenues to do the same
things that you do daily, how sad for you.
This world was created by One for all of us and what makes you or any of
the others think that blacks do not have a place in it. It seems to me that this election as brought
a lot of hate towards one race to the forefront, now please do not give me that
mess that you are not a racist, just look at your own words which blames blacks
for your shortcomings. You go on to
state that the black KKK is alive and well on this site, wow, is there such a thing as I was under the
impression that this is the kind of group that some whites created because of
their personal feelings towards blacks back in the day, but now applies to any
minority. Are you blaming blacks for
creating the KKK as well as your reason for leaving this site, how sad to blame
others for your problems, if a black had posted this mess you people would be
up in arms. Now, I use those words
because they have been used to describe blacks our entire life, but when one of
us use them on you people then we are labeled a racist, well you are what you
are. If any of you feel as if I am a
racist, well, I did not write the original blog, so just look in the mirror.

Over the past several days there have been various bloggers
stating that they are leaving Fox 5 Website due to the racism that is spewed,
well I have one question, if you are leaving why do you find the need to keep
posting blogs that will not accept comments?
Furthermore, why do you feel the need to blame blacks for your
misguidance, hell, why blame others when you have the issues, as I am just curious. One blogger stated “We do not have to deal
with ignorance, stupidity, shrews, twits and the dregs of society who seem to
troll this blogging site. Some of them are part of the problem plaguing this
country. They waste their employers time, blogging their personal BLEEP and have
the nerve to collect a paycheck.”
Personally, I feel as though you are blaming others for your
problems and because some on this site do not agree with you then you must
place blame somewhere, well, have you ever thought about looking in a
mirror. This blogger went on to say “he
black KKK on this Board is alive and well. They wield their version of
racism and hide behind the skirts of Fox. They post inciteful blogs and
expect the rest of us to respond in a mild fashion”, now I ask again, where the
problem lies really as you make statements such as this only shows your true
colors. Now, since you all keep posting
after suspending your blogging activities, which appears to be a McCain like
tactic, would you say that you are following the GOP curriculum in creating a
bunch of nothing. Good bye, good
riddance, and get the hell off the site as you have moved on to what you
consider being better than this one, well get the hell out!
P.S.
Personally, I think the ones who are screaming of leaving
Fox 5 Website is afraid that their candidate has already lost and using this
site as their excuse for supporting losers.
I do not think that any one of us could hurt Fox 5 Website by leaving
and these people who have threatened, yes, I said threatened, as they are still
here, to leave is just searching for attention as they are losers who blame
blacks for all their problems in life.

After days of turmoil and child like tantrums regarding this
massive taxpayer bail out, John McCain’s camp announced moments ago that he
will debate Mr. Obama tonight as if this big surprise. It was highly irregular for a presidential
candidate to suspend his campaign and use the debate as a hostage to get a bill
passed in Congress, but when we are speaking of a man who has called himself a “maverick”
or an unconventional person, these actions have proved true to form.
According to the AP, this story says it all and if any
person that was undecided should have all facts to decide, this man is not
ready to lead.
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 3 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain
agreed to attend the first presidential debate
Friday night even though Congress doesn't have a bailout deal, reversing an
earlier decision to delay the forum until Washington had addressed the
financial crisis.

A teacher in Jackson, Mississippi asked her 6th
grade class how many of them were McCain fans.
Not really knowing what a McCain fan was, but wanting to be liked by the
teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he decided to be different... Again.
Little Johnny said, "Because I'm
not a McCain fan."
The teacher said, "Why aren ' t you a McCain fan?" Johnny said "Because I ' m a Democrat."
The teacher asked why he's a Democrat.
Little Johnny answered "Well, my
Mom's a Democrat and my Dad's a Democrat, so I'm a Democrat."
The teacher asks, "If your Mom was
a moron, and your Dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied,
"That would make me a McCain fan."
I always liked Little Johnny!

I am appalled that this current administration and the
McCain camp would even attempt this latest move of holding the Presidential
Debate hostage in order to quickly pass a bailout bill that would put billions
of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of those Wall Street companies who have
already failed Americans. Yes, I see this as a hostage negotiations when the
McCain camp announced moments that he must drop everything and head back to
Washington to work on the bailout, well Mr. McCain, I have a question, did you
do that same thing for the hurricanes that tore up the South and other areas,
no. Did you do that same thing with
these wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, no, why because you were not losing in the polls
at that time, correct?
I cannot believe for the life of me that you Mr. McCain and
our current President would insult the American people as you have done last
night, as I am trying to figure out who would consider the mess that you two
are touting to be gospel, as this current crisis has been going on for weeks
now, but you want us to act quickly, why, is it the fact that there are only
40+ days left before you get those cronies of yours richer? I, an American
Taxpayer, do not want to bailout these rich folks any longer, you have taken
all of our money to bail out Fannie and Freddie, used it on these wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan, who by the way, is hoarding 80 billion taxpayer dollars as it
is and possibly more, now you want us to bail out others, well, as I asked
previously, who will bail us out when we can’t afford the basics? Personally, I see this latest move by the GOP
party as nothing short of a hostage situation in which the American Taxpayers
need to start paying attention to as this is going to ruin this country if we
allow these politicians to conduct themselves in this manner, please do not
think for one moment this has anything to do with the crisis, this is nothing
short of John and George strong armed robbery of us, which in my opinion is a
crime as well as hostage taking.

Wow, I thought I had seen it all over years when it comes to
politics, but to my surprise the best is yet to come as they say, now let us
welcome our VP Nominee Mrs. Sarah Palin into the mix. First, Mrs. Palin comes into the equation by
reason of default, as it seems apparent that no one else was qualified to run
as GOP VP Nominee, or so the party has led us to believe. Then, Mrs. Palin prior to accepting the nomination,
states “she does not know what a VP does”, wow, and she wants me to vote for
her because I am a woman, not today, not tomorrow, not ever as I would like to
have access to my VP in theory. Next,
she is accusing the media of being biased but has yet to make herself readily
available for interviews as others in her line of work has, as I wonder why,
does she not have a script handily available to speak from talking points, or is
it that the McCain camp does not have anything to tout but Country First?
According to an article by Kenneth P Vogel, (http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080923/pl_politico
/13791)
“Palin, whose meetings here were all to be private, has yet to hold a press
conference with her traveling press corps, and her campaign has tightly
restricted which media outlets have gotten face time with the candidate”. Now I ask voters is this the fault of the
media or the campaign for not allowing us to get to see this woman in her true
persona, because as a voter who is tired of the Republicans asking me to switch
parties this time around and does not give me any reason to want to go against
the grain. If you disallow the media to cover events held by you, then what is
it that you expect from the media, as this seems really simple to me, stop
allowing script reading and answer questions.
Yes, it is a historic election to have the first woman VP on
the ticket, however, it is not an election that can be won because you are a
woman at least in my opinion. Mrs.
Palin, if you want anyone to consider you as genuine then open up to the media
as the voters cannot learn who you are until you do, plain and simple. It is not the media that is denying you
access, but rather you denying them access to you, so I ask you, if you want me
to jump on the gender bandwagon, stop using our gender to promote your own
ladder climbing and open up access to the media.

I too conducted my own test to see if I made derogatory
comments if it would indeed expose the individuals who decided to pretend to be
me and after having to get really disgusting and mean, it worked. It was
the only way that I could get some help as I sent request after request to the
moderators at Fox to no avail so I took matters into my own hands. Most of the
stuff was just gibberish to expose the culprits and the other stuff was lyrics
to Young Buck and Westside Connections, groups that some would know and others would have no idea
who they are. Did I mean any of the
things that I said, no, but it did expose those who were responsible and if Fox
allows you all do to what you do to me, then I have a right to do what I need
to expose hypocrites.
Say what you want, I could care less what you all post about
me as I know who I am and am not afraid of how others feel about me, hell, I
have been through this mess my entire life.
I do not have any problems, but it is clear that you all do to go
through such measures, well, one set of measure cause another set of
measures. Tick for tack, you play with
me and I will play with you, bottom line.
I have told you people back in July, if you do not want others to do
these things to you, stop doing them to others.
Now, if this means that others on this site will adopt the attitudes
that you all have for me so be it. I am
not the only one you all have targeted but am the one who will do whatever to expose hypocrisy.
Please know that I do not make threats but promises and
those words involved in the chicken blog are in no way a threat or promise but
used to depict exactly who this might be doing this to me, as I cannot understand why did you have
to resort to such, as if you did not do what you did, neither would I had to
resort to such tactics, right. Again, my
insistence to the Fox 5 moderators went unanswered, so you all got what you asked
for to bring to light that a person would resort to something of this caliber,
does that make you all better than me, no.
No one man sin is greater than the other, that is all I am trying to get
you all to see, but the difference between you and I is that I did not have to
resort to pretending to be someone that I was not, unlike whomever
created the experiment, as I did everything as me, the original Lilbits!

You are nothing short of a racist with your intentions of the stereotype posts and I will not tolerate it. If you post derogatory statements you better ensure that you will not accept comments as I do not understand your issues with me, but it is clear that you need to get a life. Yes, I am a 100% Black woman, however, I do not appear as the photos you are using, but do seem them as depicting how you view blacks, as it is okay.
