When we hear of “Stealing the election,” we think of voter fraud. We think of the dead vote, duplicate voting, mismanaging the results. I am sure there was some fraud; however it was probably not a deciding issue. Are there other ways to steal an election? Media bias often has an effect on election outcomes. Campaign fundraising irregularities have the potential... MORE

Rebuilding the GOP? - November 20, 2008
There have been articles claiming the GOP is dying, the GOP has been nullified or the GOP is out of touch. I do not believe so. Obama won in a ground swell of emotions among minorities and others who simply wished America move forward towards a more diverse America. Barack Hussein Obama is the first person of color to have been a major party candidate and first to be elected president. All the previously splintered far left liberal factions such as the socialists and communists supported... MORE

Voters have short memories. The Media suppresses good news from Iraq. Any news that would boost Bush was suppressed leaving Bush to be blamed for policies set by Clinton that led to the decline of the Banking industry.
With there being no current negatives from Iraq and the positive being suppressed, the Iraq War had little if any effect. Overspending has been an ongoing issue... MORE

In all fairness, elected officials of both parties will on occasion restrict access to records. Incidences that are known, point strongly to the Democrats. Prior to King County Councilman Reagan Dunn proposing that a statement be sent to property owners telling them how much their taxes are, one of the Democrat members said he didn't think that would be a good idea. It was opposed by the Democrats until actual action required taking a public position on the proposal.... MORE

The citizen’s of Pierce County had adopted an unusual system to select their non-partisan county officers. The system is called Rank Choice Voting. I’ll not even try to explain it for the explanation may leave you more confused than you may already be. It has been known for weeks the system is difficult to understand as well as difficult and expensive to implement. ... It is believed that King County is considering Rank Choice Voting for positions that are becoming “non-partisan.”... MORE

Presidential Poets

The annals of history have recorded many quotes from each of America’s presidents. Some of our presidents have written poetry. George Washington wrote two poems while still in his youth, one was an unfinished acrostic using a name, the subject of a youthful infatuation. Thomas Jefferson wrote a few but had probably the greatest appreciation for poetry of any of our presidents. Jefferson kept scrapbooks for poetry clippings. There were, however, only four presidents that had been considered as “poets” by others.... MORE

Black Americans whether slave or free have contributed, from the beginning, to the making of America. In various capacities from the military to servitude as slaves, Black citizens are intertwined through the timeline of American heritage. America’s literature is no exception; Phillis Wheatly is a name that many in the poet community have heard. She was the first Black American poet to have published a book of poetry. Have you heard the name of Jupiter Hammon?... MORE
