Have you noticed how Hollywood pushes their agenda (think the movie “W” which is “based on a true story”, yeah, right) and refuses to play anything that might be seen as favorable to conservatives or dare I say…the truth?

 The director of the feature film “Hanoi Hilton” — which depicts the North
Vietnamese POW compound where John McCain was held — is being forbidden by a
Hollywood studio from promoting the 20th anniversary edition of the DVD or
sharing footage of McCain before Election Day, according to Politico.com. (more…)

It is important as Republicans, that we understand the main points and differences in the economic plans put forth by Senator McCain and what is being offered by Senator Obama.  Thanks to Co Chairman Jo Ann Davidson for the following information.

McCain-Palin: Economic Recovery Plan
John McCain and Sarah Palin are committed to fixing the Wall Street mess, reforming Washington, and most importantly, enacting a pro-growth agenda to create jobs for Americans and to get this country back on track. (more…)

Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) — The financial crisis of the past year has provided a number of surprising twists and turns, and from Bear Stearns Cos. to American International Group Inc., ambiguity has been a big part of the story. (more…)

Once again, Obama shows his arrogance and ignorance.  The more he talks “off script”, the more we see how inexperienced he is and what poor judgement he continues to exercise.  The following article explains why Senator McCain does not use a computer keyboard…another example of what his putting his country first cost him.

Well you certainly don’t want to miss this one!

Prospective authors don’t usually make a big announcement when their prose is rejected by the New York Times Op-Ed page. But John McCain’s campaign is telling the world that the liberal opinion and commentary page turned down his submission on Iraq, just days after publishing a similar piece by Barack Obama. (more…)

Joseph Pounder’s McCain Morning Update:
Good morning -
 
It’s a busy day so far. On “Meet the Press,” Obama National Co-Chair Senator Claire McCaskill says the 16-month timeline is a “goal” not a promise. The Barack Obama of two months ago would disagree when he said “I promise” to bring the war to end by the close of 2009. That’s change you can believe in. (more…)

This year, Barack Obama returned to the United States Senate twice to vote in favor of a budget resolution which raises income tax rates by three percentage points for the 25, 28 and 33 percent tax brackets. This would mean a tax increase for those earning as little as $32,000.
 
While Barack Obama campaigns on a promise of no tax hikes for anyone but the rich, we once again find that his words are empty when it comes time to act.  In both March and June, Barack Obama could have put the force of his vote behind his words. Instead, he decided that “rich” now means those making just $32,000 per year.
 
Over the past several weeks, Barack Obama has made it increasingly difficult to take him at his word on anything.  After pledging to accept public financing, he decided not to.  After saying he would debate “anywhere, anytime,” he decided against participating in any of the ten joint town hall meetings.  After backing the D.C. handgun ban, he now says it was unconstitutional.  After pledging to filibuster the FISA bill, he voted for it.  He is running ads taking credit for welfare reform that he opposed.  He is claiming to be bipartisan even though he has never voted against his party on any major issue.  He has backtracked on trade.  He has backtracked on abortion.  And last week for the space of several hours, he held the position that he would listen to our commanders in Iraq if they say we need to stay longer to secure the gains of the surge.
 
All this political “refining” has resulted in a credibility gap.  Since we can no longer simply take Barack Obama at his word, we are left to examine his actions.
 
Based on his actions and votes, Barack Obama is going to raise taxes on nearly every American.  If you make over $32,000 per year, Barack Obama has voted to raise your taxes.  If you own stocks, Barack Obama has a plan to raise your taxes.  During the primary, he proposed lifting the cap on income subject to Social Security taxation.  He has proposed to repeat the failed Windfall Profits Tax and new taxes on natural gas and coal.  He is going to raise taxes on small businesses.  There is no group rich, poor or other who will not be adversely impacted by his tax increases. 
 
Even more troubling, Barack Obama has proposed increasing Washington spending and expanding government programs while failing to outline how he will pay for his proposals.  Where will Barack Obama make up the difference? Unfortunately, we already know the answer. If we ignore his words and look at his record, he will not hesitate to tax any Americans at any income level.
 
This is a question of credibility.  And on ensuring that we can grow our economy by keeping taxes low and more money in the pockets of taxpayers, Barack Obama’s record of action shows that his words are empty.
