		<description>&lt;p&gt;how would that work for you?!?! lol&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There&#039;s a Lady (Oprah) who&#039;s sure, all that Glitters is Gold, and she&#039;s supporting a Stairway to unemployment. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;anyone else care to throw in some re-written verses/chorus lines to alter &quot;Stairway to Heaven&quot; to &quot;Stairway to Socialism?&quot; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ripe for inclusion about this (or, another would be a Mock of &quot;Highway to Hell&quot; as &quot;Highway to Socialism&quot;) surging to Socialism, higher taxes, higher unemployment, etc.... might be: CRA/Housing crisis, &quot;spread the wealth&quot; comment... what else?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Something we can have an aside from the serious discussion(s) and have some fun with playing with music/lyrics here. If we come up with a complete tune (or tunes, as I&#039;ve made these 2 suggestions, perhaps someone (under the Parody, Fair Use laws) can have their band cover them and put them up on YouTube (personal website, facebook, myspace, etc...) as quasi-campaign ads (we call them Contrast ads, not attack ads)... Spoofs often go viral, let&#039;s get some positive action via this perhaps. Thoughts??&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I forgot to add this as part of my thought process before...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The MSM is quick to project/call/report when a State goes for the Democrat, Blue, but waits to call States for a Republican candidate! Easy to see every election. They rushed to call FL before the Polls were even closed in the western counties of FL to try and effect that out-come in Gore/Bush - tell me who tried to steal the vote again??&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The MSM calls the Blue States as quickly as possible while stalling on the Red States in the hopes of instituting the &quot;Bandwagon effect,&quot; suppress Republican turnout, etc... No more is this true than during the reporting of Mid-West States. Any &quot;Swing State&quot; that goes Blue they promote, any Red they delay reports or report as &quot;not enough data.&quot; You will see this again this election WITHOUT FAIL/DOUBT!!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The law should be changed, to STOP the MSM, and/or anyone else (including campaigns), from trying to shade the votes in other States by reporting &quot;exit-polls&quot; and &quot;projections&quot; or out-right guesses. This can be easily accomplished by FORBIDDING the announcement of Election Results, including any &quot;Polls,&quot; &quot;Projections,&quot; or other means, that indicates the &quot;out-come&quot; or &quot;perceived out-come&quot; of any Locality, State, or National, Race or ballot-initiative, until 3 hours after scheduled voting places have Closed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This could be tailored to just the contiguous 48 States, could even weight it to be 3 hours east of the Mississippi States and 1 hour west of the Mississippi, and the intent would be (more or less) the same. The point is to stop campaigns, the MSM, etc... from attempting to suppress or otherwise shift/influence election out-comes.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;He is, tickling itching ears.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Telling them what they want to hear. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Good speaker, nice looking, articulate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can think of a few other countries in past history, who thought the same thing about their &quot;one&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Same with Kennedy.  Good looking etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, I truly believe that many folks are afraid, that if they don&#039;t hop on that bandwagon, there will be hell to pay.   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rhetoric, rumors of riots and terrorism, within our towns, is frightening them to death.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And yes, if one jumps, they all jump.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The question is, do they realize that it looks like water, smells like water, but in this case, it&#039;s a bottomless pit. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Personally, I fear nothing, but fear itself.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That being said, I am selling my waterfront property in s.c. and leaving the country, if Obama wins!&lt;/p&gt;
