Final thoughts on Presidential Election 2

(This was written earlier today on the bus ride home from a 3-day vacation in Montreal and Quebec City with Han and her parents) Tomorrow is the day that the United States will choose who will lead them into the next 4 years. The next elected President has an arduous task ahead of them; for ...

Distorted Truths and Plain Lies 2

At the beginning of the US Presidential campaign, I had a lot of respect for John McCain and I even thought that he might be a good President if he were to be elected. As the campaign has progressed, I’ve been closely watching the debates, interviews and campaign rallies by both the McCain campaign and ...

Colin Powell confronts GOP Smear Campaign 2

Finally, a high profile Republican has acknowledged the negativity and absurdity of the smear campaign against Barack Obama by the Republican Party on behalf of John McCain. Watch this interview with Colin Powell and listen to his words; it makes so much sense. Powell defends McCain as a good man, but denounces the negative direction ...

Obama Smear Campaign 1

Every day I’m shocked at the revelations of smear campaigns against Barack Obama that have been circulating for the last year and a half. I’ve been a proud supporter Obama’s bid for President since November 2007, and I have been paying careful attention to the lies and distortions that have been happening for a long ...

Barack bin Hussein Osama

This morning when I was out for a run, I was wondering to myself why so many people refer to Barack Obama as “Hussein” (his middle name). I can only assume that people choose to call him Hussein because they see him as a Muslim and calling him Hussein makes him sound like more of ...

McCain has been hiding Palin from the media since her acceptance of the GOP VP spot last month. Palin has likely been locked up in a hotel room studying history and current world issues and practising answering media ...

The Real Sarah Palin

I wanted to learn more about what drives Sarah Palin, so what better way to learn about her than to watch a bunch of interviews with her prior to becoming John McCain’s right hand hockey-Mom. I think it’s borderline comical that some Americans really think that the key to energy independence is to “tap” every ...

Flip Flop Harper & Foolish Palin 5

The US Election race is heating up with bad-boy Karl Rove conceding that even John McCain has crossed the line in his Republican ads against Obama. Meanwhile, our Canadian Federal Election is coming up in less than a month (October 14th). In 2006 shortly after Stephen Harper became Prime Minister, he passed a law that ...

Sarah Palin for President? 1

This is my 600th blog! Wow these last 4 years flew by fast! I always try to give Americans the benefit of the doubt, because I’ve met many bright and worldly Americans over the years. But it doesn’t matter where you go; you’re always going to run into people with bizarre views in a country ...
