Will Sarah Palin get “Spiro Agnew’ed”?
If McCain wins, will Palin Get “Spiro Agnew’ed”? It’s possible and I’ll now explain why. First off, the rise of both Palin and Agnew are very similar. Agnew was in politics for only 6 years until he gained the Vice Presidency, starting as a county executive in Maryland. According to wikipedia, Nixon wanted Agnew out for political reasons. He would resign the Vice Presidency because of issues stemming from corruption charges in Maryland. Nixon was planning to insert John Connaly as Vice President under provisions of the 25th amendment but Connaly refused and Ford was appointed. Oddly, John Connaly was a democrat while the Nixon/Agnew ticket was republican.
I find it odd that Agnew was given the Vice Presidency nomination in the first place. Surely these corruption charges would have been known before the nomination. As it turns out, the motivation behind the nod was that Agnew would attract southerners, something Nixon had trouble doing.
Let us fast forward. Palin is now famous for her incredibly fast rise in politics, although not as quick as Agnew. She’s also got some serious corruption charges, but that’s okay, she’s doing a great job attracting Hillary girls, and other brilliant American voters. She looks good with a rifle in her hand and she hunts and fishes. How could that do anything buy propel McCain in the polls?
Now you’re asking why I think she’ll get “Spiro Agnew’ed”. It’s almost like a déjà vu, except I was too young to remember the earlier scenario. As most thinking persons are aware, Palin isn’t really qualified and McCain has one hell of a buddy that would no way in hell help him win the presidency. This is Joe Lieberman the former democrat now independent. If McCain wins the election, I’d expect the corruption charges in Alaska to esculate to such a degree that Palin is forced to resign and McCain can then appoint Lieberman. I hope I’m wrong (about McCain even winning). I endorse Chuck Baldwin.
Here’s the 25th amendment section that states how he can legally do it:
Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

The thought process of the American voter is scary.
Must see video of absolute dumbasses...
Take a few minutes to entertain yourself with these vids....
In this first video, we have typical beach goers explaining why they are voting for whoever it is they like.
MUST SEE TO BELIEVE how willfully ignorant these people really are
(are you one of them?)
By popular demand, here is a follow up video.
Ron Paul voters asked the same questions Of course, they knew all of the policies
...and now What is this "CHANGE" we've been hearing about
So, you see, basically, if you voted for anyone other than paul, you're right in line with these friggin morons that are helping to ruin our country with their willful ignorance. Maybe it's time to wake the hell up? Maybe? a little?
Do a little research on the other candidates running for office and consider their platforms. McCain and Obama are candidates that to me, offer little "change" and seem to be more concerned with corporate policies than such pesky ideas of following the constitution and ensuring our liberty. Once you are able to get out of this left/right democrat/republican paradigm, you will see they they are nearly the same with only superficial differences in agendas. I've heard the phrase these two parties are "two wings on the same bird". I agree with this.
I'll most likely be writing in my candidate if there's that option on the Alabama ballot.

Vote the bastards out, all of them!
Vote the bastards out, all of them!
When I first reached voting age, I found myself voting against any and all incumbents. At the time I didn’t have the ability to express the motivation for doing so, but recent elections have made the issue clear.
We live in a shameful time of popularity and name recognition. It is plainly obvious just being at the checkout of the local mega corporation “corner” pharmacy, CVS, Rite Aid, whatever. You see the same names on all the rag gossip magazines time after time. I never really understood how these magazines make money. I never met anyone that would admit to having purchased one. I digress, but for a reason; name recognition is killing our country.
When elections are near; one of the most popular mind numbing tricks the candidates and media use on the public is their opponents “elect-ability”. That’s propaganda for name recognition/popularity. This issue supersedes real issues such as the candidates’ stances on issues of importance. Right now we have a choice between two people who offer no real difference between each other.
Here’s a video comparing Hillary, McCain and Obama or “McHillBama”. To Ron Paul, it’s only two minutes, so check it out to see what I am talking about.
Back to the subject, We need to vote the bastards out. How long have your state's senators been rotting away our constitution up there in D.C.? I’m guessing you can’t remember when they weren’t there. Here in Alabama, the “Junior” senator has been in place for 11 years. While that pales in comparison to some being senators and congress(wo)men for more than 20 years it’s a bit too long in my opinion.
Rarely, a bill is introduced to congress to establish term limits, the bills never pass.
Why should we vote the bastards out? Many reasons come to mind, and I’m sure you can think of many yourself. These senators and congressmen really seem to lose the grasp with their constituents the longer they stay in D.C. Just look at the case of Blair Gadsby out in Arizona hunger striking to meet with McCain. McCain will not agree to meet with him. This hunger strike is taking place right out front of McCain’s Arizona office, so it’s not really out of his way.
There’s no doubt in my mind that career politicians develop something other than a sense of obligation to the Unites States and the people they represent. Looking at the laws passed in the past hundred years, one would have to agree that corporations seem to have taken control of our representative government. I can’t think of one law that was passed on the federal level that actually benefits the idea of individual Liberty.
If we kept a fresh group of people in Washington, corruption would decline immensely, In fact, the mere attempt of establishing a lobbyist/representative relationship based on corruption would be much more obvious to the public. As the system stands now, the pressure on a newly elected representative by established members to vote in a certain manner must be intimidating. Are ya with me? Maybe I’m rambling, but if everyone were new, every 4 years the cycle would produce a fresh group and honesty would prevail. Sure; there’d be a lot more former members of congress participating in their very lucrative retirement program, but maybe they’d even change that program to be more realistic.
Serving the American people should be done out of a willingness to give your efforts back to the country, not a sense of greed to steal from your countrymen.
