"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

~Thomas Jefferson (Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 17,

1782)

Founders' Quote Daily

"Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. Do not be too severe upon their errors, but reclaim them by enlightening them. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress, and Assemblies, Judges, and Governors, shall all become wolves."

~ Thomas Jefferson (letter to Edward Carrington, 16 January 1787)

Now that we know who the nominee is, I am curious how the vote will turn out: New Poll:

Take My Poll John McCain vs. Hillary Clinton

Take My Poll John McCain vs. Barack Obama

               ~A strong economy, including tax cuts, and permanence of the Bush Tax Cuts 
                   ~Strict Constructionist judges
                   ~Family Values
                   ~Pro-life
                   ~Free market economy- no UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
                   ~Secure the Border
                   ~Strong National Defense- namely fighting the War against Islamo Fascism
                   ~Sound National Energy Independence- 
                                open ANWAR and allowing exploration and drilling off our coasts
                   ~Avoid Economic Disaster by opposing greenhouse emission caps (McCain-Lieberman)
                   ~Sound policy on Guantanamo- keep terrorists off American Soil
                   ~Freedom of Speech- voiding McCain-Feingold
                   ~Support for Strong interrogation methods, protecting those who voluntarily assist our investigatory 
                                agencies from lawsuits
                   ~Look at who is endorsing McCain, the New York Times= need I say more?

        Remember when you pull that lever today (or fill in the bubble in California) that McCain does 
        not negotiate from a position of strength, like Reagan, he simply compromises Conservative Principles, 
        and that is precisely how he will govern from the White House.  He is not merely a true Conservative, he is 
        the liberal establishment of the Republican Party, he does not just reach across party lines, he gives in to 
        liberal Dimocrats.

    Propositions:
        91- No
        92- No
        93- No
        94- Yes
        95- Yes
        96- Yes

        97- Yes

Agree with me or not, but make sure you VOTE!  Turnout in California is predicted to be huge: Record vote seen likely

8.9 million expected to turnout

That represents 56.6 percent of the state's registered voters and would reverse the steady decline in voter turnout in primary elections in California.

“That 8.9 million is almost what we had in the last general election,” Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo said. “This is a huge turnout for a primary – 1 million more than any previous primary.”

Thanks to all who took part in my poll, the final tally follows:

Who Will You Vote For In Tuesday's Primary?
Selection		Votes
Mitt Romney	88%	14
John McCain	0%	0

16 votes total

Barack Obama	100%	1
1 vote total

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., the other front-runner in the Democratic presidential race, also shifted to the left last year. She ranked as the 16th-most-liberal senator in the 2007 ratings, a computer-assisted analysis that used 99 key Senate votes, selected by NJ reporters and editors, to place every senator on a liberal-to-conservative scale in each of three issue categories. In 2006, Clinton was the 32nd-most-liberal senator.
===================================================================

If the American Electorate is so enamored with Barack Obama's "Change We Can Believe In..." slogan, then I shudder to thik what the next 4-8 years will be like...there is nothing behind the slogan.  What does change mean?  Nothing...

Well, last chance to take my polls:
