Newsmax.com – McCain Shredding Obama's Lead: "Iraq isn't the only place where the surge seems to be working. John McCain's gains over the last five days are remaking the political landscape as Election Day approaches.

The double-digit leads Barack Obama held last week have evaporated, as all three of the top tracking polls..."

John McCain Performs Barbara Striesand Hits

Take a break for a few minutes to see the entertaining side of John McCain he "sings" Barbara Striesand hits on SNL back in 2002.

John McCain stated during his performance, "Do I know how to sing?...About as well as she [Barbara Streisand] knows how to govern America." Now here's my twist to the quote; Does Obama know how to govern America?...Sure, if Barbara Streisand knows how to govern America.

(Note: if the below video does not work, here is the link to the video's page: Classic Hits from John McCain)

See current SNL backstage footage of John and Cindy McCain as he reminisce on the Streisand performance:

The scariest Halloween mask ever by Stephen Yulish

Obama was not born in a manger nor was he born on the planet Krypton. He is not Superman nor is he our Savior. Americans are so mesmerized by him that many do not see his questionable relationships or outlandish policy statements. Do they really want to “spread the wealth” and “redistribute the income”? Do they really want more government programs and entitlements and higher taxes? Do they want European style socialism?

What about Obama’s relationships with Rev. Wright and Father Fleuger and the radical Marxist Saul Alinsky (who dedicated his book to Lucifer) and Tony Rezco and Bill Ayers and Acorn and the Socialist New Party and the Woods Foundation? What about his sealed birth certificate?

Doesn’t it bother people that Hugo Chavez and the Castro brothers and the President of Iran and a spokesman for the PLO and Hamas and the PLA in Gaza and Al Qaida all want Obama to win? That should tell them something. All of these groups fear McCain. Duh!

"Awake sleeper and arise from the dead", Ephesians 5:14, before it is too late.

Trick or treat!

Pray for Obama's defeat.

Or else God help us.

Newsmax.com – Pollster: Media Polls Biased Against Republicans

Another reason not to give up on McCain-Palin....

Newsmax.com – Pollster: Media Polls Biased Against Republicans: "Political polls conducted for most media organizations often are biased against Republicans, says Kellyanne Conway, one of the most respected GOP pollsters. As a result, Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain probably is exaggerated and is contributing unfairly to his momentum, says Conway, president and founder of the Polling Company."

In other words, if you're a McCain-Palin supporter but decide to give into despair and stay home on election day, shame on you! Now, more than ever, you cannot allow the media, or anyone else discourage you. Too much is at stake for you to sulk and do nothing on election day. Basically, nothing is new; the general media has always been biased to the left and used skewed polls to try to discourage conservatives into staying home. If Obama wins because you were one of those gloom and doom non-voting conservatives, then you'll have no one to blame but yourselves when our economy and our security goes haywire.

Colin Powell's Endorsement of Barack Hussein Obama

Colin Powell Endorses Obama: "'I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities -- and you have to take that into account -- as well as his substance -- he has both style and substance,' Powell said. 'He has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president.'"

The ability to inspire is the benchmark of an exceptional president??? Today's Republican Party is too far right for Colin Powell? First of all, if Colin Powell has truly known John McCain for the last 25 years, then he would know that McCain is definitely not the most conservative Republican in Washington. Although overall, Senator McCain's voting record has been relatively conservative, his support for embryonic stem cell research, campaign finance reform, and immigration reform has put him at odds with right-wing conservative Republicans, including myself. However, as much as it pains me to say this, there is a flip side to McCain's bad choices. John McCain is the only candidate who is willing to risk his political career to reach across the aisle to the other party. This shows that John McCain places personal conviction, right or wrong, over his career. Where is the tangible evidence of Obama ever taking such risk?(Obama On His Reach-Across-The-Aisle Record - Marc Ambinder); therefore, it is an absolute oxymoron for Colin Powell to apply the quality of "reaching out in a more diverse, inclusive way" to Obama, rather than John McCain. On a side note, if the current Republican ticket is too far right for Colin Powell, does this make Joe Lieberman (an Independent-Democrat and McCain-Palin endorser) a Republican?

Colin Powell should also understand McCain's logic in selecting Sarah Palin. McCain knows that the only chance he has is by selecting a running mate who is a Pro-life conservative. Anything less would have alienated most of the right-wing conservatives, whose support he desperately needs if he is to have any chance of becoming the next president.

Don't get me wrong; although I have some concerns with some of McCain's previous bad decisions, he is still the right candidate to lead this country out of it's current economic distress and keep us safe from those that want to see America destroyed. However, if all you care about is personality, style, and inspiration, why bother with Obama? How about someone like Oprah? After all, Oprah is a great listener and supposedly 'people just love her'. Even better yet, how about Joel Osteen? He has no experience, just like Obama. Joel is kind of like a community organizer, just like Obama, since he runs a huge "I'm OK, You're OK" type of church. But Joel Osteen has one quality over Obama; there is no one in this world who can preach a 'cotton-candy' feel-good message like Joel. As much as I am unable to stomach Joel Osteen's frosted flake sermons, I would have to agree that Joel Osteen is more inspirational than Obama. But on the other hand, Obama is a quick study. I am quite sure that just as Joel preaches his feel-good/no-judgment/no-responsibility/all inclusive message to his congregation, likewise Obama will apply the same principles and use his superb toastmaster skills to spread his feel good message to the world so that we'll all be happy, the economy will spring like a blooming desert, the Muslims will love America, and we can all sing Kumbaya...YEAH RIGHT!!!

Obama Thinks He is Superman, Come to Save the Earth! by Dr. Stephen Yulish

Although this is a few days late, still relevant....Amy J.

Obama thinks he is superman, come to save the Earth! by Stephen Yulish

At a charity event last night, Obama claimed his own "greatest strength would be my humility."
Said Obama: "Contrary to the rumors you have heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-el, to save the planet Earth," a reference to Superman.
I know a little about jokes as you all well know (it is in the Jewish DNA) and I know a little about humility (also not in the Jewish DNA) but this guy is a pompous fool. As the old adage goes, 'much truth is said in jest'. Obama has the chutzpa not only to compare himself with Jesus, but then to say that he is superman come to save the earth. That goes over the line in my book and is not funny but is overly prideful and haughty. Humility? Yeah right! He as President? God have mercy on us.

John McCain & Sarah Palin - Sean Hannity Interview

"Senator John McCain and Sarah Palin sit down for an interview with Sean Hannity to discuss the townhall presidential debate performance of John McCain and Barack Obama, as well as Barack Obama and Joe Biden and their stance on issues versus the McCain/Palin team. Part 1"

Sarah "Barracuda" Palin Goes for the Kill

Newsmax.com – Palin Criticizes Obama's Ties to Wright, Ayers: "Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is criticizing Barack Obama's ties to his incendiary former pastor and a 1960s-era radical."

I know that I have previously criticized Sarah Palin for her support of Israel/Palestine's two-state solution. But, aside from that issue, I strongly believe that Sarah embodies the hope of the Republican Party. There are a few others that fit this category, such as Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal; but he's not running for the second highest office in the United States and is not yet in a position to affect national policies.

It is refreshing to see a new-comer to national politics (but highly qualified in the executive responsibilities) who is not only unafraid to speak the truth but is completely straight with the people on where she stands. Only if John McCain had Sarah's verbal tenacity to go after Obama in the same manner. It is John who needs to desperately improve his debating skills and needs to take a crash course from Sarah. I know that Sarah has charisma and natural talent on her side, but anyone can always improve.

I don't remember who said this, but a pundit on the Foxnews channel stated that Sarah did a better job of explaining McCain's policies better than John McCain did during the debates. I hope and pray for a dramatic and miraculous improvement on John McCain's debating skills. As talented as Sarah is, she's not the one that has to face Obama in tomorrow's debate.

Should We Talk To Iran? Senators Graham and Kerry Weigh-In

Watch as the two senators weigh in on their own views and the views of their respective presidential candidates in regards to "talks" with leaders of rogue nations. Also includes the applicable clip from last Friday night's debate:

Amy J's Take on the First Presidential Debate

Newsmax.com – Why McCain Won the Debate: "There is little question that John McCain “won” the first debate last night. Perhaps he lost on points (arguments) and style (how could he beat Mr. Smooth?), but McCain “won” over the audience, the only victory that counts."

How any of those so called "pundits" could possibly think that Obama had the edge in last night's debate escapes any form of common sense. Yeah, Obama had the edge over McCain in being a smooth talker (and probably could have been voted "Mr. Congeniality") but as noted in the commentary by Christopher Ruddy, Obama sounded like your standard university professor. What is beside the point is that the vast majority of your standard university professors range from being a left-wing liberal on the moderate end to an outright Marxist/Communist on the other end of the spectrum. I agree that when you listen to Obama speak, it is difficult to decipher how he is different in both tone and philosophy from your standard university professor. But, the real issue is that I don't want to depend on a "professor" to run our country and keep us safe from those that want to kill us.

During the debate, Senator McCain successfully demonstrated his depth of experience and know-how to run this country both in the area of economics and military defense. For example, he reminded us how he attempted to share his understanding of military strategy with then President Ronald Reagan, as he voted against sending the U.S. Marines into Lebanon back in 1983 and tragically, McCain was right. About 300 Marines lost their lives in the bombing of their barracks. McCain also gave specific examples of how he has taken action to cut wasteful government spending as a U.S. Senator.

What McCain didn't have the time to mention is all that he's managed to learn from the successes and mistakes of former presidents and cabinet members and how he's managed to implement/support policies based on these lessons learned. Such as how Ronald Reagan fixed and boomed the economy after the catastrophic failure of President Carter's economic policies, the mistake of George H. W. Bush when he raised taxes after promising not to do so, the mistakes of Bill Clinton as he demoralized the United States Military by reducing the military budget and forcing them to fight in combat and military missions with inadequate resources and personnel, and finally, the further damage to the military caused by the policies and the incompetence of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, as he mismanaged the military and the war in Iraq, while he tried to run the military like a corporation:

McCain blames Rumsfeld for missteps - John McCain News- msnbc.com: "Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Monday the war in Iraq has been mismanaged for years and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will be remembered as one of the worst in history."

Finally, what could Obama say after McCain candidly mocked the idea of sitting at the same table and having "talks" with the likes of Ahmadinejad with absolutely no preconditions?

"MCCAIN: So let me get this right. We sit down with Ahmadinejad, and he says, 'We're going to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth,' and we say, 'No, you're not'? Oh, please."
