			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>I am mad as hell;</b> the media, the candidates and the financial experts are leading you down the road to total destruction and ruin of the not so United States of America.</p>
<p><b>1. The media is trying to convince you that Obama is the second coming. (He isn&#8217;t)</b></p>
<p>I am not a political expert but I can tell you that Obama is a slick politician who wants to become president no matter what lies he has to tell and is a lot like Bill (I did not have sex with that woman) &#8220;takes your ideas and makes them his ideas&#8221;.</p>
<p><b>2. Both candidates are trying to convince you that they have all the answers. (They don&#8217;t)</b></p>
<p>If either candidate had the answer to the current problems with the economy - they would have made sure their solution would be included in the Bailout plan so they could have taken credit for providing the solution.</p>
<p><b>3. Financial experts are telling you that the Economy has gone to hell and we all will go belly up. (Not True)</b></p>
<p>The economy will recover! It will not be overnight, but it will recover. It always has and always will.</p>
<p>When I got my Brokers License the market was at an all time high of 800, when it dropped below that figure people were wringing their hands and foreseeing doom.  It didn&#8217;t happen and rose above 10,000.  A word to the wise - if you need money today, you should have available funds in a bank account that can be used today. The stock market is for people who are liquid and can afford to lose money or have enough capital to wait it out. It always recovers.</p>
<p>When Bill Clinton was running for President, James Carville always reminded him &#8220;It&#8217;s the economy stupid&#8221; but that was before 9/11.</p>
<p><b>Bottom line is before you vote in the current election remember these two facts:</b></p>
<p><b>1. The Economy will recover!</b><br />
<b>2. Terrorist will never give up their goal of destroying America!</b></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t listen to the media - check the records of both candidates and then vote for your choice, based on facts, not the media.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The American people did not create this problem.</b></p>
<p>The greedy high paid losers at Freddy, Fanny and the short selling, marginal, leverage deals approved with a total disregard to prudence and fiduciary soundness are now crying for a bailout.</p>
<p>If you as a small business owner screwed up like that, do you expect the government to come to your rescue? Don&#8217;t hold your breath!</p>
<p>We have according to the US Census Bureau about 350,000,000 people living in our great country.</p>
<p>Why do we need to pay  $700-billion to companies who have already proven their bad decisions can wreck the financial system?</p>
<p><b>My suggestion is cheaper:</b></p>
<p>Let the government credit each citizen with $1,000,000 and then take the income tax which would be due and use the money to pay all home, car and credit card loans and send the remainder to each citizen.</p>
<p>Each company that has a sound financial plan should be able to stay in business and meet their financial needs.</p>
<p>Citizens with money left over will be able to create new businesses and hire people that have none.</p>
<p>Let the American people decide who should be bailed out - you can bet there will be no companies with CEO&#8217;s getting $90,000,000 paychecks.</p>
<p>Write, call and badger your representatives to wake up and smell the roses!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Demands Retraction and Apology from Van Braxton… Again!</strong></em></p>
<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
Contact: Stephen LaRoque<br />
August 7, 2008<br />
252.523.7700</p>
<p>Many voters throughout North Carolina State House District 10 received push poll telephone calls from Representative Van Braxton’s campaign on Wednesday night, August 6. The calls came from live operators who made false and malicious statements about former Representative Stephen LaRoque, Braxton’s opponent in November. The false statements were disguised as polling questions.</p>
<p>LaRoque responded swiftly to the dirty attack. “My opponent isn’t interested in solving the problems facing eastern North Carolina,” LaRoque said. “Instead, he is spending all his time and money playing political games and trying to mislead voters about me. It is obvious to me that he has no solutions to the problems regular people are facing. That’s why he is running a dirty campaign to try to distract attention from his poor record.”</p>
<p>In the telephone calls, voters were told that LaRoque voted to appropriate funds for “strip clubs to take down their billboards”, “increase fees that banks can charge for homebuyers”, and that LaRoque had the “worst attendance record in the House”. These allegations are false and LaRoque reports that “many of the people they called hung up on them because they are sick and tired of all the negative politics.”</p>
<p>“My message to the people of Lenoir, Wayne and Greene counties is simple. If you are happy with politics as usual and dirty campaigning, Van Braxton is doing fine,” LaRoque continued, “If you want a state representative who will work hard to strengthen our economy, stop illegal immigration and solve the other problems we face, I humbly ask for your support.”
</p>

Who you be&#8230;</font></p></blockquote>
<p><font face="arial,helvetica" size="-1">And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.</font><font face="arial,helvetica" size="-1">And  then I heard the father talk.</p>
<p>Everybody knows it&#8217;s important to speak English except  these knuckleheads. You can&#8217;t be a doctor with  that kind of crap coming out of your  mouth.</p>
<p>In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.  People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we&#8217;ve got these knuckleheads walking around.</p>
<p>The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.</p>
<p>These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what??</p>
<p>And  they won&#8217;t spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.  </p>
<p>I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.</p>
<p>Where were you when he was 2??</p>
<p>Where were you when he was 12??</p>
<p>Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn&#8217;t know that he had a pistol??</p>
<p>And where is the father?? Or who is his father?</p>
<p>People putting their clothes on backward:</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that a sign of something gone wrong?</p>
<p>People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn&#8217;t that a sign of something?</p>
<p>Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up?  </p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body? What part of Africa  did this come from??</p>
<p>We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don&#8217;t know a thing about Africa</p>
<p>With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap,  and all of them are in jail.</p>
<p>Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white  person&#8217;s problem.</p>
<p>We have got to take the neighborhood back.</p>
<p>People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different &#8216;husbands&#8217; &#8212; or men or whatever you call them now.  </p>
<p>We  have millionaire football players who cannot read.  </p>
<p>We  have million-dollar basketball players who can&#8217;t write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.</p>
<p>We  have to start holding each other to a higher standard.</p>
<p></font><font face="Verdana" color="#800000" size="4">We  cannot blame the white people any longer.&#8217;</font></p>
