Empty Suit Economics

Published by John under Our Blog

A long time ago in 1977, Jimmy Carter got elected. Jimmy Carter only served for 1 term as president and did one thing right, he gave us Ronald Reagan. Jimmy Carter destroyed the economy of the United States. Below is a list of just a few of Jimmy Carter’s accomplishments.

  • The 1979 energy crisis, oil shortages
  • Double-digit inflation
  • Very high interest rates, the prime rate hit 21.5 percent in December 1980
  • High unemployment
  • Slow economic growth, productivity growth declined to an average annual rate of 1 percent
  • Stagflation

Now, fast forward to 2008, Barack Obama is running for president. Obama is going to deliver the same type of Empty Suit Economics that Carter delivered. Obama is going to destroy the economy and I am cool with it! I would rather have a destroyed economy, which you can protect against, than a destroyed ideology.

However, recently sleazeball Joe Biden said something that got me really concerned about my vote for Obama.

Keep in mind; this is not the first time he has made such comments. If Biden does what he says, it will create a situation where every future President of the United States will be afraid to lead and make decisions. I don’t want our President worrying about if some future President is going to pursue criminal charges against them. Biden’s comment is irresponsible, one dimensional, and would neuter the office of the President.

I can accept a destroyed economy but I cannot accept an attack on the Conservative ideology or the power associated with the office of President of the United States.

Looks like I am going to be voting with either the Constitution Party, the Libertarian Party, or the Green Party. We will have to just wait and see what kind of mood I am in on Election Day. :-)

Simple Math

OK, so you need more reasons to NOT Vote for McCain. Sarah Palin, the savior of the Republican ticket has some priorities out of alignment. True, she is a real Conservative and is good looking. Palin has been a busy lady; she won Miss Wasilla, then got second in the Miss Alaska, then she was a sports reporter, helped run the family commercial fishing business, and entered politics in 1992. She has done a good job at everything she has set out to do. Her husband, Todd Palin has been busy too, he has been racing snowmobiles and working in the oil industry.

Which begs the question; who has been raising the Palin’s 5 children? Sarah has been busy pursuing a career in politics and Todd has been busy with a full time job. Do the Palin take their kids to work? Do the Palin’s work at home? Are the children paid actors?

Two excellent examples of the Pailn’s parenting skills are given below.

Palin’s youngest child, Trig, has Down syndrome. Palin’s announcement that she was seven months pregnant generated publicity and surprise, as did the circumstances of Trig’s birth. More than a month before the baby was due, she was about to deliver the keynote address at a conference in Texas when she began leaking amniotic fluid. She delivered the speech before flying back to Alaska, giving birth seven hours after her return at the Mat-Su Valley Regional Medical Center. Sarah Palin returned to work three days later.

Lets think about this; Sarah Palin dumps her 3 day old baby with Down syndrome in daycare so she can return to work!

Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin’s five children with her husband Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Lets think about this one too; Bristol Palin is a pregnant 17 year old. Did her parents dump her in daycare too, so they can pursue their careers?

I suggest one of the Palin parents quit their jobs and make their children a priority. This defiantly needs to happen before their kids get more screwed up.

Micro$oft PR

I like Microsoft but lately they have been putting out some real garbage. They are now running TV ads with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld to improve their image.

Seinfeld was reportedly paid $10 million for his work in this series of ads.

McCain; as dumb as a box of rocks.

Published by John under Our Blog

As most of you know, I am not a fan of John McCain. He is not a real Conservative and does not properly represent the Republican party. I believe the election of John McCain would ruin the Conservative movement and it would take years for a true Conservative to run as a Republican again.

So, to further my cause I am going to periodically use this blog to convince all of you Republicans to vote for the reincarnation of Jimmy Carter the peanut farmer from Georgia: Barack Hussein Obama II. Hopefully, next time around [4 more years] we will get another Reagan.

How stupid is John McCain?
