Hello ya'll from the newly married (ok, it's been almost a month) Mrs. N! We got married on October 4, 2008. It was awesome. Maybe you'll see videos later. Went to Oahu for our honeymoon. It was dope. I've started marathon training again. Hubby's ACL surgery is scheduled for December. We're going as Steve Zissou (him) and Alistair Hennessey (me) for Halloween. Now we're looking for a way to do some last minute volunteering for the McCain/Palin campaign. That's my update.
Here are some through provoking videos I found on YouTube. The first is American Contrarian, a two part series:
Next is a show of increased support in my generation over voters recently for the McCain/Palin campaign as a result of more information coming out about Obama.
I'm curious to know, where does everyone fall? 1. Liberal/Conservative? 2. How you rate yourself in terms of Patriotism and Nationalism. Scale of 1-5. 5 being most, 1 being least. 3. Who are you voting for? What are the 3 main reasons?
1. I consider myself a fiscal conservative but a moderate social liberal. I support Gay Marriage, Stem Cell Research, Pro-Choice legislation. But I also support the idea that the only way to stimulate the economy is to allow small businesses and corporations to grow, provide jobs and benefits to their employees and put more money on the street. I believe that above all of our rights, we should be worried for our safety as a nation. I believe that the US has an obligations to its citizens to make its national and international decisions based on what is best miltiarily and economically for the preservation of the nation.
2. The difference between patriotism and nationalist is that the Patriot is proud of the country for what it does and the Nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does. I am a 5 on the Patriot scale. I am a 3 on the Nationalist scale.
3. I am voting for the McCain/Palin ticket. My first reason is the Lexington Project that will lower energy costs and provide over 700,000 nationwide. My second reason is lower taxes. For Mr. N and I, we'll save under McCain's tax plan. Also, lower estate taxes (who wants to have to pay money to the government for their inheritance when the people leaving it to us ALREADY paid income and capital gains tax on it?), fixed capital gains and dividends tax at 15% and an income tax rate not to exceed 35% on the highest income bracket. My last and most important reason is that McCain understands we need to export more in order to stimulate the economy and as a result supports lowering barriers to trade through increase free trade agreements.
are you doing the l.a. marathon in february or a different one?
Congrats on the marriage! Sorry about the election! =P
I guess we'll find out if you were right about Obama being a terrorist (pff) once he has control over "the button." Crybaby John can just run for president again if he wants -- its his hobby, afterall. He even wrote in his book that he chose to run for president (the first couple times he ran) out of pure ego, not because he could do anything good for America -- wow, that's a winner. Good thing he remembered something about conservativism eventually after 2 years of pandering to anyone he could find willing to listen to him, or he could have won the Biggest Loser while losing the election, as well. Of course, one good thing about this election, we finally found what causes Republicans too turn out political gatherings (where historically they have been disproportionately missing) -- an empty headed rack on stage with a keen ability to repeat "guns" "hockymom" and "dontcha know!" a million times without anything else substantial coming out. What a failure. I sure hope that if Republicans don't vote purely out of FEAR this year, the way party leaders have been trying to coax them into doing for so many recent years, that they at least stay home, since they all know that John McCain is a douchbag liar who is going to spend as much in Iran as Bush did in Iraq. Wow, watch your taxes go down then!
John McCain is such a liar. He promises nothing. But panders everything. =)

@ana_bomber - I'm shooting for the LA marathon, if not then there is one in late March in OC that I'm thinking about. Are you doing the LA marathon?
@globalguy007 - We can get into how Obama has failed in his offices, spending more time campaigning than actually doing his job, how Obama obviously doesn't care about national security because he never convened one meeting of the investigative committees related to terrorism. I won't. How about you tell me what Obama stands for that he can actually follow through with that gets your vote? Or are you just following the pied piper like the rest of the California sheeple?

Obama won't share his money with McCain!
