			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As predicted, John McCain has made a strong comeback in recent polls. Barack Obama, who is feeling the pressure from McCain&#8217;s campaign, has focused his campaign on tax and health care issues. However the McCain/Palin ticket proves to be more viable that previously thought.</p>
<p>Sarah Palin&#8217;s strong comeback on the campaign trail has earned more supporters for the McCain/Palin ticket. Meanwhile, McCain&#8217;s strong town hall appearances has earned him the support from many Joe the Plumbers, who favor reforming the federal government.</p>
<p>Despite McCain and Obama&#8217;s positions, both candidate&#8217;s views clash with my own. I am a moderate independent who oppose both the death penalty and abortion. Neither McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden supports my views; however, I still acknowledge each candidate&#8217;s political positions. At times, I post political satire Weblog entries to the <strong><a href="http://www.wilsdomain.com/blog/">Wil&#8217;s Domain Weblog</a></strong>, other times I simply voice my political views. Despite my many differences with both the Republican and Democratic parties, I avoid stifling the voice of dissent and other political views which are different than my own. </p>
<p>Having state my political views, I would like to poise 2 questions:</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Will I ever be able to find UNBIASED videos without being force-fed political garbage posted by political stooges?</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Will a concerned voter ever be able to find HONEST videos without being bombarded with videos with misleading videos titles like the one posted below?</strong>&#8221;</p>
<div align="center" style="padding-top:15px; padding-top:5px;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/X2JPbQOHEkY&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/X2JPbQOHEkY&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div>
<p><span id="more-981"></span><br />
While viewing political videos and vlogs, of almost every political persuasion, I came across the video above. </p>
<p>The YouTuber, who posted this video, intentionally mislabeled the video, hoping to smear the senior Senator from Arizona! This video is actually about an arrogant, spoiled brat who doesn&#8217;t care about the less fortunate families who eat, sleep and vomit taxes. In the video, she is clearly seen for who she is: daddy&#8217;s spoiled little girl.</p>
<p>Great job, dad! Another generation of arrogant fiends who feel that they are &#8220;slaves&#8221; <em>working for the man</em>. What a bunch of <em>bravo sierra</em> (b.s.)!</p>
<p>Almost every Democrat and Republican I know favors taxing the rich Wall Street thugs who pimped America.</p>
<p>Uncle Scam sucks eggs!</p>

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live" and appearances in Colorado boosted John McCain's candidacy, dashing rival Barack Obama's hopes for a landslide victory on Election day. With only 15 grueling days to go before Election Day, the Palin Effect has proved the McCain/Palin Repulican ticket to more viable than the junior Senator from Illinois himself realizes: Palin is no bimbo; she is a bold and courageous Republican Vice-Presidential nominee.<p><strong><a href="http://www.wilsdomain.com/blog/political-news/us-presidential-election-2008/john-mccains-candidacy-boosted-by-sarah-palins-popularity-in-colorado/">John McCain&#8217;s Candidacy Boosted by Sarah Palin&#8217;s Popularity in Colorado</a></strong> &mdash; posted by either <strong><a href="http://www.wilsdomain.com/blog/about-wil-ford-usmc/">Wil Ford</a></strong> or one of his guest bloggers &mdash; originally appeared on <strong><a href="http://www.wilsdomain.com/blog">Wil&#039;s Domain Weblog</a></strong>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s recent appearance on &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; and appearances in Colorado boosted John McCain&#8217;s candidacy, dashing rival Barack Obama&#8217;s hopes for a landslide victory on Election day. With only 15 grueling days to go before Election Day, the Palin Effect has proved the McCain/Palin Repulican ticket to be more viable than the junior Senator from Illinois himself would like to admit: Palin is no bimbo; she is a bold and courageous Republican Vice-Presidential nominee.</p>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom:0px;"><img title="Sarah Palin backs John McCain" src="http://www.wilsdomain.com/wp-content/images/John-McCain-Sarah-Palin.png" border="0" alt="John-McCain-Sarah-Palin.jpg" width="300" height="144" align="top" /></div>
<p><span id="more-954"></span><br />
Because of Palin&#8217;s unexpected strong presence on the campaign trail, Joseph Biden has resorted to below-the-belt, hard-ball politics, trying to undermine the young woman who is on the verge of being the first woman in history to be elected as Vice-President of the United States.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that Samuel Joeseph Wurzelbacher (a.k.a. <strong>Joe the Plumber</strong>) is not a licensed plumber, the patriotism which he has symbolized has sparked a strong national movement, that has inspired many undecided women voters (e.g.; <strong>Moms for Palin</strong> and <strong>Moms Love Palin</strong>) to support Sarah Palin. Many Americans have indicated that they are concerned about the weak U.S. economic system, national security, health care, forced federal government bailouts of shady corporations, increased tax hikes, and all other politically important issues which impact the lives of the millions of people living in the United States.</p>
<p>Recently, many independent feminists (some of whom have identified themselves as former Clay Aiken&#8217;s <strong>ClayMates</strong> and former Bill and Hillary Clinton supporters) are joining the Joe the Plumber movement to support the McCain/Palin ticket as a protest to their being deceived by their former American Idols: Aiken and the Clintons. Palin has afforded these women voters an opportunity to voice their concerns about the state of the nation. Moreover, Palin has proven that she should not be taken for granted: <strong>Hell has no fury like Sarah Palin scorned.</strong></p>
<p>Rain or shine, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is the first in history to run as a female Vice-Presidential candidate of a major political party on her own strength, a feat the former Democrat Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro failed to accomplish herself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may have seen the name Clay Aiken a thousands times before; however, this time his name seems very foreign in a political Weblog entry like this one. On the World Wide Web of information, you can (legally or illegally) download his latest songs from the privacy of your home or office and read the latest news about him on celebrity Web sites and Weblogs. His music engulfs the decreasingly small but loyal groups of his remaining fans in a virtual fairy tale &mdash; a world from which they never want to depart &mdash; that rivals that of Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen.<span id="more-876"></span></p>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom:15px;"><img title="Wall Street Shakes Down America" src="http://www.wilsdomain.com/wp-content/images/Clay-Aiken.png" border="0" alt="Clay-Aiken.png" width="350" height="284" align="top" /></div />
<div align="center" style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:5px;"><strong>Does Clay Aiken Matter to Barack Obama and Why?</strong></div />
<p>Although Clay Aiken is not a candidate in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election, Barack Obama should learn a few tips from the recently outed homosexual. Many Aiken fans has shunned Obama for his association with his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., who spewed anti-gay, anti-American and anti-Semitic &#8220;sermons&#8221; from the pulpit in the church in which the junior Senator from Illinois worshiped for over twenty years. </p>
<p>Lesson learned: Hate is totally unacceptable, a sobering fact which will haunt Senator Obama for the rest of his life.</p>
<p><strong>What does Clay Aiken and Barack Obama have in common?</strong></p>
<p>Some music critics deem the Clay Aiken Factor as simply brilliant while opposing critics plugged their ears in contempt. Despite your assessment of the &#8220;<em>flaming torch</em> from North Carolina,&#8221; Aiken is the Measurement of a Man against which his loyal fans are measuring the black politician&#8230; Barack Obama.</p>
<p>Like Aiken, Obama&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>is a father; however, Aiken&#8217;s method of fatherhood was artificial insemination.</li>
<li>has never served in the U.S. Armed Forces.</li>
<li>can draw a massive crowd of adoring fans to a single event.</li>
<li>can raise huge sums of money at a single fundraising event.</li>
<li>has been called the anti-Christ.</li>
</ul>
<p>Since the adverse effects of the 2008 Wall Street scandal, many angry fans of Aiken are divided on political, religious and racial lines. Many fans in the U.S. have lost their hard-earned money due to the financial crisis &mdash; which has affected the global credit market. Some forgiving fans deem the Aiken&#8217;s &#8220;turkey baster&#8221; path to fatherhood as simply <em>queer but unique</em> while unforgiven fans hold their noses in contempt. Regardless of your level of respect for the North Carolina-born singer (and former American Idol contestant), Aiken is the epitome of an affable celebrity against which Barack Obama is compared.</p>
<p>Unlike Aiken, Obama&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>is not deemed &#8220;a darling&#8221; to many white women voters, who supported Hillary Rodham Clinton in the U.S. presidential primaries.</li>
<li>has never competed on American Idol.</li>
<li>can not sing like the homosexual singer.</li>
<li>is deem a monster to many white women voters, who are die-hard supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Will Obama repent for his sins? If so, will he be sincere?</strong></p>
<p>Now until Election Day on Super Tuesday, Obama must remedy the religious and political damage of Wright&#8217;s anti-gay, anti-American and anti-Semitic remarks. If he is successful, he will be the next U.S. President of the United States. If he fails, many of Aiken&#8217;s fans (as well as Jewish-Americans, gay-Americans and other American voices of dissent) will not shed a tear for the man who remained a member of a church, in which hate was preached year after year after year until the very moment he mysteriously decided to launch his presidential campaign.</p>
<p>If the U.S. presidential choice of many offended voters were solely theirs, they would probably vote for their American Idol, Clay Aiken &mdash; the gay blade and fabulous dad from North Carolina.</p>
<p>However, one former Claymate of the ClayNation has told a staff member of Wil&#8217;s Domain that: &#8220;<strong>&#8230; comparing Obama to Aiken is like comparing Hitler to Ghandi.</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>The disillusioned Democrat made the following statement: &#8220;<strong>I pity Ron Paul. Having been lied to by Clay and now Obama, I can relate to a Republican like Mr. Paul, who I wish were chosen as our next President.</strong>&#8221; </p>
<p>Another lesson learned: <strong>Hell has no fury like a former Claymate of the ClayNation scorned.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Has Governor Sarah Palin became a political liability to Senator John McCain, the 72-year-old presidential nominee of the Republican Party in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election? Does she lack the right stuff of which savvy world leaders are made? If the answer to both question is a resounding &#8220;yes,&#8221; McCain&#8217;s selecting the Republican vice presidential candidate will prove fatal on Election Day 2008.<span id="more-866"></span></p>
<p>Since her accepting the presidential nominee &mdash; of the Republican Party in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, Palin has heightened the anxieties of McCain&#8217;s 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign team, each of whom are exhaustively working for the senior Senator from Arizona &mdash; a fiesty, well-rounded Senator for whom many Republican and Democratic voters have a lot of respect. The Vietnam War veteran and former P.O.W. is campaigning with the endurance of an Olympic athlete, and he campaigns like a winning and proven presidential candidate.</p>
<p>Despite the fact many Americans are displeased with the U.S. Representatives&#8217; passing the 2008 Wall Street bailout bill, which immediately became law, Sens. McCain and Obama still leads the pack of presidential candidates of other political parties.</p>
<p>Many political pundits contend that Obama lacks experience; however, McCain biggest problem is Palin, who is less experienced that Obama. Although McCain is in reasonably good health for a former POW, the age factor still remains:</p>
<p><strong>How well will Palin fare should she becomes the first female President if McCain dies while still in office?</strong></p>
<p>For many middle-aged, white women Republican voters, they believe she is poised to serve as U.S. President if the McCain/Palin wins the U.S. Presidential election in November.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is Obama&#8217;s healthcare and insurance proposal better than Senator McCain? Both presidential candidates believe their healthcare should be serviced via the private insurance sector; however, that&#8217;s where the similarities of their proposals ends. In a recent poll, many voters can not differentiate between Sens. Obama and McCain&#8217;s healthcare plans.</p>
<p>As you&#8217;ve probably already realized, healthcare is a major concern for voters. In order to make an informed voting decision in the <em>2008 U.S. Presidential and U.S. Congressional Elections</em>, it is imperative that registered voters find out where the presidential and congressional candidates stand on improving the healthcare system in the U.S.</p>
<div align="center" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:5px;"><img src="http://www.wilsdomain.com/wp-content/images/700-billion-dollar-Wall-Street-bailout-2008-shirt.png" border="0" width="423" height="392" alt="$700 billion dollar Wall Street bailout t-shirt"></div>
<p>Still furious over the Wall Street bailout plan, on which the U.S. federal government based the <em>legitimacy</em> of flooding the U.S. financial system with nearly a trillion dollars of the U.S. taxpayers&#8217; money, many concerned voters are confused over the proposed healthcare policies of both Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain. Many voters, especially elders, are pondering how each presidential canditate&#8217;s healthcare and insurance plan would affect communities around the nation. </p>
<p>The proposed healthcare and insurance policies of the junior Senator from Illinois&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Would demand large-sized corporations to fund a national pool to provide alternative solutions for uninsured employees or provide adequate healthcare and insurance for employees.</li>
<li>Would extend a tax credit for small-sized businesses which will afford these businesses to provide adequate healthcare and insurance for their employees.</li>
</ul>
<p>The proposed healthcare and insurance policies of the senior Senator from Arizona&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Would require legal U.S. residents and documented immigrants to pay taxes on healthcare from which they receive from their empoyers; however, the workers would be entitled to receive a tax credit of $2,500 or $5,000 per family, affording them the opportunity to fund their own healthcare and insurance plans.</li>
<li>Would motivate aggressive competition among many insurance providers, which McCain contends will offer legal U.S. residents and documented immigrants more options.</li>
</ul>
<p>The proposed healthcare and insurance plans of both Sens. Obama and McCain are novel idea, no doubt. However, most voters can not tell a difference between the two Senators&#8217; proposed healthcare plans. In fact, a slight majority of voters favor McCain&#8217;s over Obama&#8217;s.</p>
<p>McCain believes his proposed healthcare and insurance policies will dramatically lower healthcare care costs while make it more affordable to many uninsured Americans. His plan would give tax credits of up to $5,000 for individuals and families, encouraging each household to approach the private insurance companies &mdash; across state lines &mdash; to buy insurance plans. He contends his plan would increase competition among the private insurance companies and would give the consumers a better deal.</p>
<p>Obama contends his healthcare proposal would give healthcare benefits to virtually every uninsured people, based on employers&#8217; participation. His aim is to expand programs &mdash; like the federal Medicaid and State Children&#8217;s Health Insurance &mdash; and establishing a new national insurance market from which the uninsured is given two options: private or public healthcare plans.</p>
<p>Across the nation, many voters are still confused over the two proposals. If healthcare is an important issue affecting your family, it is imperative that you carefully examine each candidate&#8217;s healthcare plan. Also, explain each candidate&#8217;s proposal to elders living in your community to help them to determine which presidential candidate for whom they would like to vote.</p>
