McCain for President?

As the primaries role on the race becomes clearer and clearer. It looks like McCain will be the next Republican Candidate. Also what is clear is his plans, Tax Agenda. This one is too long to copy and paste into the Blog as it won't serve a lot of purpose. What you can gather from his website though is that he has an incredibly detailed plan to cut more taxes in specific areas. Only if he can get everything he wants actually passed. I suppose the president should have a little weight in this issue as he does have a veto option.

What is really interesting to me though is under the issues he has this, "America's Space Program." This part I can copy and paste because it is very short.

"'Let us now embark upon this great journey into the stars to find whatever may await us.' -John McCain

John McCain is a strong supporter of NASA and the space program. He is proud to have sponsored legislation authorizing funding consistent with the President's vision for the space program, which includes a return of astronauts to the Moon in preparation for a manned mission to Mars. He believes support for a continued US presence in space is of major importance to America's future innovation and security. He has also been a staunch advocate for ensuring that NASA funding is accompanied by proper management and oversight to ensure that the taxpayers receive the maximum return on their investment. John McCain believes curiosity and a drive to explore have always been quintessential American traits. This has been most evident in the space program, for which he will continue his strong support. "

Anyway more research is on the way!! I am glad McCain mentions the space program!

Moon Eclipse


Well me and MaverickMage (my roommate) ---->
went to go see the lunar eclipse and all. This is only because one of my friends from Warner Robins told me too. Well it didn't turn out to be very cool... The clouds decided to show up also. But if you ever want to see a bunch of lunar eclipses go on a cloudy night where there are patches that show the moon! We saw like two dozen lunar eclipses!!! Okay not really it was just clouds... I tried to take a picture... But it didn't show up very well... so

Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney seems to have taken the classical republican stance on issues.

Health Care Plan
Stop the Free Riders
Use the Free Market to keep health care quality and affordable
Give the states the freedom to use medicaid dollars how they want too

This all sounds good and all but as applied to the real world, health care is expensive and that is why you have uninsured "free riders." Granted I hate paying for it as much as you do but that is why we pay taxes. I am not sure what medicaid dollars are...

Confronting Radical Jihad
I don't really understand what he wants to do... He states appealing to communities while identifying, isolating and eliminating terrorist threats.

One of the bad things is that he is calling the terrorists Radical Fundamentalists. Where a lot of the Islamic communities do not like calling them that. Fundamentalists is like saying they are following the word of the Koran which is supporting their cause. He needs to be very careful his wording.

Curbing Federal Spending
He wants to cut a lot of the government spending that is not necessary or inefficient. Good Luck with this one!

Well thats all I have to say for this guy. He has no real plan on end iraq. He wants to End illegal immigration, he wants to cut spending, also doesn't really want a lot of change in the health care part just less spending in it. Actually the only spending he wants to do is support Energy Research so we can become energy independent. Which is also not looking to good.

American Idol

Right, there is this guy on the commercials that sings this song... I think it is awesome at the end of Robin Hood, the one with Kevin Costner. I don't really like American Idol if the title fools you!
