Endorsements: Good or Bad?

Hello, blog with the mid-term elections in sight – only about seventy days away I believe – we’re starting to see endorsements come in across the board. Overall this mid-term has been pretty strange with the endorsements. Church's endorsing candidates, just as an example. Of course the big endorsement that I think is a curse would be Obama's endorsements to the Democratic candidates


This guy can be extremely arrogant sometimes. I'm just going to say it right now; he knows his approval ratings are down the drain at nearly 50%. He knows that Fox and Conservatives automatically disagree with ANYTHING he does. But, there he goes going out there on the campaign trail to try to help the democrats and I think it's only going to hurt them.

I'm not sure what he's thinking I know he probably has well intentions, but here’s the thing – and this is a big secret – most of the people who are voting against democrats this year are doing so because they are displeased with Obama. So, going out there to try to get them to vote for you – just by placing his endorsement – isn't going to sway anyone because people who aren't voting democrat just don’t like how he’s running the place.

As for the undecided voters, maybe I'm wrong on this or I haven't seen it, but I don’t see anyone going "Well, the President said vote for this guy! Well, here I go!"

No, I never see that happen and it goes WELL beyond Obama's endorsements. I don’t ever get my interest perked from an endorsement. I have never see endorsements work either. Remember back in 2008 when Obama got endorsed by the Kennedy's and what do you know Clinton won that state. Not even the Kennedy family -- the closest to royalty in the United States – could pull the endorsement win off. Another example, in Kansas I see ads for Tiehrt who is endorsed by Palin. I see that and I'm not interested in ANY WAY to vote for him now. In fact it is the opposite.

Bottom line political endorsements FAIL unless there from Nike and grant you millions of dollars. Too bad Nike is the fastest company to throw you under the bus the second you get tabloid trouble. Guess they all fail, sorry Endorsements.

Fail Friday

It's that time of the week again.  Here are you Friday Fails of the week!

#5 Last night we saw another MLB Umpire blow another baseball game on one poor call. Fortunately it was just the Marlins so only like five people saw it live so I guess it's not too bad.




#4 Conservatives have been criticizing Democrats again due to Taxes (shocker). However with the taxes being done it would free up over eight hundred billion out of the deficient (almost equal to the stimulus) But, instead, Republicans want to talk about possibly losing another 1.6 Billion into the deficient and yet want to oppose the thought of freeing up eight hundred billion from the deficient.



#3 Democrats have also failed as we are at the mid-terms in case you haven't noticed. We are amidst the most extreme group of republicans against Abortion. Angle, Rhand Paul etc. All agree that Abortion should never be done and should illegal even in cases of rape and incest.



And yet no Democrats have brought this up to the light of the public. Abortion has been a completely untouched issue in debates and in the public’s questions to the candidates. Come on now.



#2 At home in Kansas we are seeing the senate race between Jerry Moran and Todd Tiahrt. Never have I seen my state have such a one sided election so far. I drove through town today and saw one Tiahrt sign and about forty Moran signs. And ad's? I've seen maybe one Tiahrt ad and about six or seven a night for Moran. Just drop out now and spare the embarrassment of a landslide.



#1 Our Failure of the week is a true shocker. The industry I'm going to talk to you about…I mean honestly I didn't think they were capable of doing this. Never have I heard of any wrong doing of this industry (SARCASM). Our failure of the week is the insurance companies. Yet again in trouble this time with scamming money from military families who have served the country. Most of these families are only seeing 1% of the pay they are promised in case of injury or death. Where’s the rest go? Right into a non-valid account directly to the corporations banking account. How though? They simply make you sign away 99% of this money days after the death of your relative and force you to sign the contract at your most vulnerable time. How noble.



I also want to tell you a story I heard today about our hero Superman. Superman recently saved a house from being foreclosed.



The family was preparing to move out after being foreclosed when the family stumbled on issue #1 of the Superman comic book! After selling it on EBay the family was given hundreds of thousands of dollars and kept their house. Stories like these really lighten my day and I hope they did for you too. Goodnight Blog!
