Solar rays drive global warming

Dr. Qing-Bin Lu, of Canada’s University of Waterloo, says NASA satellites and laboratory measurements show cosmic rays are the real cause of the seasonal hole in the earth’s ozone layer over the Antarctic.

Dr. LU says the severest ozone loss will occur over the South Pole this month — with another large ozone-triggered hole occurring around 2019.

If the South Pole gets an ozone-hole maximum in the coming weeks, it will strengthen the case for cosmic rays, and endorse a Modern Warming driven by solar variations rather than human-emitted CO2.

The solar model is already endorsed by oxygen isotopes in ice cores from both Greenland and the Antarctic, by microfossils in the sediments of nine oceans and hundreds of lakes worldwide, and by cave stalagmites from every continent plus New Zealand.

The case for a solar-driven climate is also strengthened by a drop in global temperatures over the past 18 months

forecast by the sunspot index since 2000, but was not predicted by the global climate models.

Obama's illegal 'get out the vote' drives

Wow!... You can't even do this in Iraq!

The Obama Campaign is holding several illegal "Get Out the Muslim Vote" Drives at swing state mosques this week!

Now you can go to Eid Celebrations and sign up to vote for Obama at the same time!!

Muslim Americans for Obama has announced a series of "get out the vote" events at mosques in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and Ohio this week during Ramadan celebrations.

These "get out the vote" events flagrantly violate the tax exempt status of these participating mosques which are strictly prohibited from supporting or endorsing any kind of partisan political activity.

More... Ohio Obama supporters are dragging homeless people off the streets in to vote.

The Iraqi Parliament just banned using mosques during election times

...The law includes a provision that allocates 25 percent of the seats to women and a prohibition on the use of mosques, pictures of clerical leaders and government institutions during the campaign season.

How to cook up a juicy poll, AP style.

Clip Source: newsbusters.org

we don't know if the differences between AP-CfK's Sept. 5-10 and Sept. 27-30 results were created deliberately, but the results sure look suspicious

The more recent poll shows Obama with a 7-point lead among likely voters, both with and without leaners; the earlier poll showed McCain with a 5-point lead with leaners, and 4 points without.

Almost all of this 12-point swing (11 points with leaners) is more than likely almost completely due to major differences between the two polls' samples:

"Somehow," the sample make-up changed from 33-31 Democrat to 40-29 Democrat from the earlier to the latter poll -- a shift of nine points.

After correcting for differences in the samples, almost all of Obama's double-digit pickup disappears, leaving McCain with four- and three-point leads without and with leaners, respectively.

Either AP isn't supervising its GfK cooks properly, or it's directing them to poison discussions of presidential race

Ohio's full scale, state sanctioned voter fraud

clipper's remarks: Third world countries are more capable of having clean elections than we are these days.

Ohio Secretary of State Democrat Jennifer Brunner is behind a new rule in the state that allows Ohio citizens to register and vote on the same day.
That law went into effect today.

Jennifer Brunner has also directed county boards of elections to deny absentee ballots to thousands of qualified Ohio electors who support Senator John McCain who fail to check a box that was not mandated by Ohio law.

Later today The Next Right reported that Brunner is banning observers from polling stations!
Here's this unbelievable video of an election observer be turned away:

[Video]

The Next Right has more:

The Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner argues that they are merely "casting their ballot" rather than "voting" so the fact that Ohio statute requires 30 days between registering and voting would not interfere.

Normally in an election, partisan election monitors are allowed into polling places

Brunner also issued an advisory opinion to counties saying that they are not required to allow election monitors.

95 democrats voted against the bill

clipper's remarks: Yet all we here is how it is the republican's fault. How the minority party in the house is responsible for the failure of a bill pushed by the majority even though quite a few of the minority voted for the bill. Pelosi couldn't (or more likely, wouldn't) reign in her own troops in support of the bill, so how is it the republicans are to blame?

Clip Source: ztruth.typepad.com

Nearly 100 Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against the financial bailout bill yesterday. Fifteen Democrats in California from the home state of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, even voted against the bill.

Thirteen Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee voted against the bill, too! And seven Democrats on the Homeland Security Committee voted against the bill, including its chairman!

Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., one of the main congressional negotiators, and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee failed to get his democratic team on his own banking committee on board with the bill!. Now that's telling.

Yet, all we hear the Democrats on TV do is to spew their partisan venom against the Republicans.

Final vote

Pelosi calls GOP unpatriotic

Despicable Nancy Pelosi calls GOP Unpatriotic for missing a meeting--
A meeting they were not invited to.

Here's some behind the scenes politicking by Democrats

Republicans were told today’s negotiations were for “principles.” Meaning each party’s lead negotiators

When we showed up to the meeting the list of Dems walking in the door kept growing

That’s hardly the deal we were promised, like Mr. Blunt quipped to reporters, “I think the ratio's about fair. It's two to eight or something."

And, the Dem spin machine is still in full swing. They said we boycotted earlier meetings, well, as Chris Dodd said last night on NBC, they just forgot to call us. So, maybe an 8-2 fight is the best we’ve had all week because we are at least at the table.

Later today... Speaker Pelosi had the gall to go before cameras and call the Republican members of the House "unpatriotic" for not attending that earlier meeting.

(The meeting Dodd admitted they weren't invited to.)

MO Gov. Blunt slams Obama attempt to stifle free speech

St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.

What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment

This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights.

Barack Obama needs to grow up

Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Families, caregivers, charities and research groups across the United States are observing September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In the U.S., over 12,000 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year, approximately 3,000 of them will not survive the disease. A diagnosis can turn the lives of a family upside down - days suddenly filled with alternating moments of courage, frustration, boredom, anxiety and pain. The objective of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is to put a spotlight on the types of cancer that largely affect children, survivorship issues, and - importantly - to help raise funds for research groups working towards cures (links below images). Here are a few recent photos of families, all dealing with childhood cancer in their own ways. (19 photos total)

1.) Barack Obama said he "immediately and forcefully" condemned Russia for invading Georgia.

Not true- Here's video proof--

2.) Obama said Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger supported his plan to talk with rogue regime leaders without preconditions.

Kissinger responded immediately after the debate

3.) Obama said he supported offshore drilling

During the primary Obama was against offshore drilling

4.) Obama said he supported nuclear energy.

His preconditions make it impossible to expand nuclear energy at this time

5.) Last night Barack Obama said he was in favor of missile defense systems.

Not true- Here's video proof--

[Video]

6.) Barack Obama said "No soldier dies in vain."

in 2002

Nor should we allow those who would march off and pay the ultimate sacrifice, who would prove the full measure of devotion with their blood, to make such an awful sacrifice in vain.

7.) Barack Obama says he supports the middle class

Obama voted for increasing taxes on individuals earning as little as $31,850

Financial Crisis Timeline

Democrats Were Warned & Consistently Blocked Reform--

Way back in 2001 The Bush Administration raised red flags.

In 2008, Bush warned the Democratic majority 17 times that there was a looming crisis and that mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac needed reform.

In 2003, former Treasury Secretary John Snow testified before the House Financial Services Committee and said this:

SNOW: We need a strong world-class regulatory agency to oversee the prudential operations of the GSEs and the safety and the soundness of their financial activities.

In 2005- Senator John McCain partnered with three other Senate Republicans to reform the government’s involvement in lending.

Sadly, in every instance since 2001, Democrats either ignored or blocked any attempts at reform.

Even Bill Clinton admits it.

Yesterday, FOX News put together a timeline on the crisis and attempts at reform.

Terry Jones at Investor's Business Daily reported "How A Clinton-Era Rule Rewrite Made Subprime Crisis Inevitable."

NYT all the news unfit to print

On its editorial page today The New York Times published a complete lie about Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska:
"Wasilla Watch: Sarah Palin and the Rape Kits"

The editorial attacks Sarah Palin for a complete fabrication (while it props up Joe Biden):

This is completely false.

** There is not one single record of the Wasilla police department charging any rape victim for an examination.

Not one.

The Finance Department searched all financial records on our system for fiscal year 2000, 2001 and 2002. There are no records of billings to or collections from rape victims or their insurance companies in our system.

Bob Owens discovered this and also reported that these rumors began at an obscure liberal blog written by a man in LA after Sarah Palin was chosen as the Republican VP candidate.

By the way... Joe Biden met with the Georgian leader today without the press and guess what?
-Not a peep from the liberal media.

Obama Finance Chair is Sub Prime Pioneer

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:46:59 GMT

Clip Source: astuteblogger.blogspot.com

Barack Obama has slammed the banking industry for its predatory use of sub-prime mortgages, which are pushing millions of American homeowners toward foreclosure.

But his campaign's Finance Chair, Penny Pritzker, owned a failed Chicago thrift that helped pioneer sub-prime financial instruments and faced accusations of abuse.

Superior Bank of Chicago went belly up in 2001 with over $1 billion in insured and uninsured deposits.

the chair of Superior’s board for five years was Penny Pritzker, a member of one of America’s richest families and the current Finance Chair for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama

some banking experts say the Pritzkers and Superior hold a special place in the history of the sub-prime fiasco.

Superior’s owners were to sub-prime lending, what Michael Milken was to junk bonds.”

In other words, if you traced today’s sub-prime crisis back to its origins, you would come upon the role of the Pritzkers and Superior Bank of Chicago.
