It's Debate Time!
I’m probably going to post a few rants tonight, and here’s the first one:
Part of McCain’s plan is reducing business taxes to create more jobs.
Obama said tonight that part of McCain’s plan is to give $4 billion to big oil companies. He basically applied the number in McCain’s (much larger) plan to a specific industry, and is promoting that.
That’s like...

McCain Tried To Prevent Current Economic Meltdown...
I was doing some research tonight on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac tonight because frankly, I had no idea what the hell they are. On the Wikipedia page, it says under “Previous Attempts at GSE Reform”:
In 2003, the Bush Administration sought to create an agency to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The proposal was shot down by Congressional Democrats such as Barney Frank who said...

Simple Breakdown of Presidential Healthcare Plans
I am pretty sick of hearing how “McCain will cut tax incentives so poor people won’t have insurance from their job!” Both parties have been calling out the other for the flaws in their plans, and the candidates only preach the politically viable aspect. So, I’d like to try to break down both based on facts, and paint a bigger picture. (For more reading please read Why...

Republican in LA
In response to a tweet about what it’s like being a Republican in LA:

They twist my words, accuse me of shit, and treat me like I’m stupid. For example, yesterday I explained an experience in...
Obama embarrassing himself again :)

Obama:“‘My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We’ve got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year — we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. Our ability to...
Hmm...I learn something new everyday
Did you know..?
In 1976, a campaign finance reform bill was passed that matched qualified major party candidates’ campaign donations, from a fund that was allotted for such a purpose. Taxpayers could check a box on their tax return that would donate $3 to the fund. With this money, came a set of regulations to govern the candidates’ expenditures - leveling the playing field, if you...
My response to a Tweet about my political beliefs
“So you think that we shouldn’t do stem cell research or have equal pay for equal work?”
Someone asked me this (@skyvan) in response to Tweet I had written saying that I supported McCain.
My response is this: stop assuming that because I support one candidate over the other means that I agree with everything he stands for. There is no such thing as the perfect candidate, or a...
