Michael, you got your answer; I just did not understand your series of rants as anything cogent. Try stating the alleged lies more like this:

Candidate Obama stated that he would have the most transparent government in history, free of special interest, yet when he came to office, he brought a cadre of lobbyists as key staff, and turned the record stimulus package into a slush fund for Democrats - most notable was Solyndra that was in the process of going bankrupt as Obama lavished these Democrats with a half of a billion of the public's dollars, now the public's debt.

Try being more succinct and much more substantive like this one truth, I expressed, as one of the multitudes of Obama Lies.

Yeah, the whole lie thing is the ultimate lie. I watched our Liar-in-Chief work that angle hard since he had his ass intellectually kicked Wednesday night.

The polls are turning and this is never good for the incumbent this close to the election.

Yes it was a thing of beauty to see Governor Romney able to answer questions, and not have them manipulated by the obvious "media stooges," who are still influential, but not with us who know the real world and the wiser path forward.

Considering the time limits, it might have been wise for "the Candidate" to keep his exposure as low as possible, by not fighting for the broadcast air, since his intellect, at least this night, seemed a bit flaccid.

This may be one of the great lessons of our time.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, was a Conservative and a very able prime minister, who did not wish to go to war. No wise leader wants to invite war on their people, or on their conscience.

So Neville Chamberlain seized on the first opportunity to delay war for Great Britain, if not for eastern Europe at the Munich Accords.

Candidate Obama has a similar back ground in that wishes not to go to war. He is no Conservative, he is a Liberal, but rather than not delving into war because of humanitarian reasons, he does not consider war because of his core constituency and his roots growing up, at least in part, Muslim.

There is one thing that he did do before he diminished our presence in the Middle East, as he has surely done. Candidate Obama used the infrastructure built, in the Middle East, by the George W. Bush Administration to give the order for Seal Team 6 to kill Osama Bin Laden. After the demise of America's #1 target, Candidate Obama left the informant doctor to rot in a prison in Pakistan, and then "spiked the Football" that he killed Osama Bin Laden, went on a "I killed Osama" tour to taunt this as his sole Middle East foreign policy initiative and accomplishment, and then distilled this event information into terms that even Liberals could understand, so he wouldn't have to run on his miserable economic record - a record of just giving stuff away to likely voters.

Now that the Middle East is blowing up, he is proving powerless to effect anything positive; however, the Candidate still stands a good chance of getting re-elected because he gives away a lot of free stuff to likely voters, that others pay for, or face imprisonment for tax evasion.

Maybe this Frenchman said it best:

"A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it" - Alexis de Tocqueville, 19th century

Did I leave anything out here?

Great Teddy Kennedy analogy Brant.

It really brings back distant memories colored in shades of complete truth.

I remember well.

Clint has spoken and Rachel Maddow proclaimed, "If I live to be a hundred, I don't think I will ever see anything as bizarre as that."

I suppose Rachel never had a grandfather, who spoke his mind.

I have always dug old guys who speak their minds if ... and this is a big if ... if their hearts were in the right place.

Clint Eastwood's heart is in that right place, and I have always dug Clint - love his films.

It's a fair suggestion.

And it is true, I am biased. Then again, I always am when it comes to politics; however, it is not always about party ... I just like Mike in this instance, and I have for a while.

Often, and the record shows this, I most unkind to Republicans when they don't know how to act or how to vote. More is expected of Republicans and that is just the way it is going to be. This will not ever change.

I will remove the offending phrase.

This is all very true, and this is why the state Republican party and all its associated groups will not be successful, even if they win on the good years.

They think the party is top down rather than bottom up, which is the way it should be if they truly want to be successful.

Michael,

Since you are so prolifically expressive about your views, why don't you consider writing a column for BCN.

In the past, I have picked bylines for contributors, who would rather that the publisher pick their byline. I generally read what their expressed motives are, and accordingly, I choose a byline that best suits their political / philosophical bent to best categorize their opinions.

If you do decide to contribute posts, and you don't want to pick your byline, I have a few, and very humble, ideas. How about:

"All About Stan," or ...

"Just Exactly, What I Really Feel About Stan," or ...

To have a more dynamic, and interactive exchange with your readers: How about?

"Enough About What I'm Really Concerned About ... Readers Tell Me What Concerns You ... But First: What Do You Feel About Stan?"

As someone who works over 70 hours a week, I absolutely do not have the time to try to understand, let alone celebrate, the whole Occupy Wall Street, "we're the 99%, you're the 1%," YEAH socialism! mentality.

Sorry. Maybe that is why I so ably see through the whole "Cool Concept" as a reason to support an idea, an individual.

Alicia Colon well explains the meaning of the preservation of our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. It never was about hunting, and I'll never understand why Liberals cannot understand this simple precept.

Diane, the 1930s?

That means your grandparents were seeking to escape the fascist Benito Mussolini.

Does that make you a second generation American, or is the vernacular Italian/American? I do not mean to offend.

To Michael Varin on his last comment under "Nullify Now!!"

No, Children are grown.

Just spending a tremendous amount of time "building the better mousetrap."

Oh wait a minute, Candidate Obama just reminded me, "I didn't build that ... somebody else made that happen."

But hold on, I know, but ... well ... it could not have been ACORN, they were busy using federal dollars to elect the Barack, it wasn't Solyndra, and all the other the other well-healed members of that enlarged Democrat slush fund, know as the America Recovery Act, and it could not have been the president.

When did Candidate Obama have time to help? For the last year, he has been on his "Two Americas Tour," and when he was not consumed with that, he was in Pakistan leading Seal Team 6 on their courageous mission to slay Osama Bin Laden.

Who could have built Symbiotic Publisher, and then the NOWs?

Oh ... silly me. It was me after all.

Do you want to know what my "Two Americas Tour" is? It is about the hardworking, smart, wise Americans, survivors against all else. And then there are those that support Candidate Obama: the takers, the whiners, the guilt ridden cry babies, and ultimately, the losers.

That's my two Americas.

Actually, Ford did not ask for a bailout, and did not receive one.

You know ObamaCare, Nullification, the U.S. Constitution ... it just all gets so confusing.

Socialism in a government and in an individual is pretty easy to spot.

Thanks Raphael for the information.

We all need to be weary of "wolves in sheep's clothing."
