Free kibbles

Warren Buffet buys $5 billion stake in Goldman-Sachs. This is how to resolve the credit crisis.

Bernanke claims this credit crisis is the greatest threat to the economy since the Great Depression. We have 100 years of creeping socialism from both Republicans and Democrats to thank for that.

The law firm of one of McCain's aids, Rick Davis, receives $15,000 per month from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This aid has never lobbied on behalf of Fannie or Freddie. Compare this to Obama who has personally received around $100,000 and his aid Jim Johnson was CEO of Fannie and walked away with 10s of millions. Further, Obama solicited economic and housing advice from former Fannie CEO Franklin Raines, who also took 10s of millions from Fannie. Both those CEO has been implicated in the corruption. There's no comparison between the campaigns. Obama is up to his eyeballs in subprime corruption, and he has been his entire career, since he was a community organizer for ACORN, to when he was lawyer for ACORN to when he was state senator funneling taxpayer money to Tony Rezko and other slum lords, to when he joined the US senate and immediately became one of Fannie and Freddie's biggest recipients of money for favors. But the press will ignore Obama's lifelong subprime corruption and try to slime McCain because of this adviser's firm.

ABC poll shows Obama up 52 to 43 because of economic issues. Looks like the Fox poll shows Obama ahead too.

Palin attempts to block press from meeting with Afghanistan President Karzai. I think McCain is screwing up once again. The best thing he's got going for his campaign is Sarah Palin. She generated all the excitement. She brought McCain to even in the polls. I know the press is working overtime to try and discredit her, but the people love her. She doesn't have to take questions from the press, but she should be surrounded by press constantly. She's kind of disappeared, and that's not good for McCain. The other thing he's done is make her basically parrot his positions. She's no good as a parrot. The people like her much better than they like McCain. He should turn her loose and let her be herself.

Solar wind weakest in 50 years.

Michelle Malkin explains the role of illegal immigrants in the subprime crisis, but she fails to make the case that it was a significant factor.

Obama may delay his spending plans because of economic problems. That shows he recognizes that his programs will hurt the economy. Why would anybody vote for a guy who's programs will hurt the economy?

After 7 years and 9 months, House Republicans finally stand up to Cheney and the Bush administration. Talk about too little, too late. I'm really afraid Bush and his Democrat cohorts are going to ram through the single largest peace-time government power grab in US history. But you have to love Newt. He's exactly right that McCain should call this the Bush/Obama socialist bailout plan.

Apparently the SEC could change the mark-to-market accounting requirement and effectively fix this credit crisis with the stroke of a pen. I'm telling you, it's a conspiracy for the biggest peace-time power grab in US history. That rule was just implemented last November, when the credit crisis started.

Airport screening machine detects terrorist intent. Right. Haven't these people ever heard of false positives?

Barack Obama sought and received the support of a Marxist political party in his run for Illinois state senate in 1996. This guy has sought out, won the support from, and surrounded himself his entire adult life.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's CEOs got their money's worth from Chris Dodd and Democrats. Just 2 months ago, Senate Finance Chair Chris Dodd proclaimed that Fannie and Freddie were "fundamentally strong" even though Dodd was well aware of the subprime crisis, the corruption and accounting "irregularities" that were being used to pad CEO salaries. And in the same month, Barney Frank is only concerned about CEO compensation, not the corruption that created this crisis. Wow. I bet liberals reelect these guys anyway. Hopefully we can force both to resign.

Letter to my representatives: Given the gross incompetence of the politicians who created this credit crisis, for the good of the country those people must resign. At a minimum, Sec. Paulson, Fed Chairman Bernanke, Senate Finance Chair Dodd, and House Finance Chair Frank should all resign immediately. These men, by interfering in our economy and by their corruption in the subprime mortgage market with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own the lion's share of responsibility for this crisis. There must be accountablility. It's an abomination to consider them retaining power, let alone gaining more power. I demand the immediate resignation of Paulson, Bernanke, Dodd, and Frank.

Blogger claims to have connected Sarah Palin smear videos directly to the Obama campaign.

SNL runs skit lampooning NYTimes, but conservatives are outraged because it implies incest between Palin's husband and their daughter.

More details on how Democrats killed the Fannie and Freddie reform bill intended to head off this crisis despite knowing full well about the corruption.

Stanley Kurtz, the reporter who finally opened up records from the Chicago Annenburg Challenge, reports on the details of the professional relationship between Obama and Bill Ayers. Ayers founded the organization, was in the group of 5 that recruited Obama as CEO, and had numerous meetings with Obama, contrary to Obama's claims about his relationshipt with Ayers. Ayers identifies himself as a communist, and the goal of the Challenge was to promote Marxist radicalism in schools, not to improve education. Obama is a dangerous Marxist. He has spent his entire career promoting Marxist ideals, and that's what we can expect from an Obama presidency. His claims to be a moderate and uniter are a fraud.

Text of Gov. Palin's speech that she wasn't able to give because she was disinvited for political reasons from the rally protesting Iranian President Ahmadinejad's appearance at the UN. Too bad. It's a good one.

According to Citizens Against Government Waste, Biden is the worst government official at fighting government waste with a zero score. Obama is terrible with a score of 18 percent. McCain is good, but not great with a score of 88 percent. There's a real difference between the candidates.

It turns out the person who hacked Palin's email is the son of a Democrat Tennessee state legislator. That's not good.

Analysis of the Big Labor agenda and why they're spending a billion dollars on electing their candidates, including Barack Obama. Needless to say, freedom is not anywhere to be found in this agenda.
