Mandate '08: Reagan vs FDR

Back to a more traditional comparison of the 2008 election. The San Fransisco Chronicle has a good article regarding the real issues behind Tuesday's election.

Would you rather Ronald Reagan or Franklin Roosevelt?

Not that John is anywhere close to Reagan in ideology or ability to sell the message. But compared to Obama, Mac is the free-market, non-socialist candidate.

Obama however, is much more a Marxist than FDR ever would have allowed himself to be. Remember, Roosevelt was at least willing to admit that his fix for the only real depression the US ever had, was intended to be short-lived.

The Choice is Simple

A great post today on Tony Phyrillas' blog. I won't spoil the answer, but the choice is simple.

The election is not choice about conservative verses liberal or any of the other comparisons you may assume. It comes down to one basic issue.

Philly's 100 Seasons of Agony Over

Congrats to the Phillies, the Phans, and Charlie (from Mayberry) Manuel.

My Philly family in Florida called and for once, they wished they were back home in the cold.

For the political junkies...the last time the Phillies won the World Series...

Ronald Reagan was down 8 points in the polls to Jimmy Carter.

Heritage Foundation - Obama "Seriously Misrepresenting" Our Opinion

A letter from The Heritage Foundation's attorney demands that Barack Obama's campaign pull ads which "seriously misrepresent" the organization's opinion of the two presidential candidates' tax plans.

The quote in the ad came from an interview with (surprise) The New York Sun in which they inaccurately reported the Foundation's policy analyst Rea Hederman views on the subject.

One more piece of evidence that mainstream journalism has died, and Obama will use them to, as Heritage points out, "intentional attempt to mislead and misinform voters".

L.A. Times Suppresses Khalidi-Arafat-Obama Connection

Let's get this party started!

From National Review Online...

Why is the Los Angeles Times sitting on a videotape of the 2003 farewell bash in Chicago at which Barack Obama lavished praise on the guest of honor, Rashid Khalidi — former mouthpiece for master terrorist Yasser Arafat?

Gateway Pundit reveals that Obama has been less than honest about the extent of his relationship with Khalidi. Their coverage of the issue can be found here.

More evidence of the death of journalism...

Dolphins Owner Wants to Sell Before Election

One move this Dolphins fan can appreciate.

Wayne Huizenga announced he intends to sell 45% of the team prior to November's election to avoid any anticipated capital gains tax increases should Obama win.

Biden - Tough Questions Are a "Joke"

In my former hometown of Orlando Florida, an anchor for ABC affiliate WFTV, Barbara West, has some tough questions for Biden.

But Joe can't handle the heat.

Obama, Circa 1995, on Race and Reparations

More audio of Obama. This time from a 1995 interview where he makes the case for the redistribution of wealth to conquer issues of race, compares the USA to genocide in Bosnia, and the need for a "collective salvation for the country".
