Here’s a little Friday Halloween fun for everyone. Here’s Frank Caliendo’s take on the Presidential Election. Watch, enjoy, have a great weekend, and eat lots of candy:

A couple months ago, I asked people what they felt was the most important issue regarding the upcoming election. It was at the start of the housing crisis, and so most of the answers revolved around the economy. 

Well, 5 days before the big election, I’m asking the same question again:

For you, what issue will affect your vote more than any other in this year’s presidential election?

With the Presidential election just a few days around the corner, things have turned really nasty in the political world. Mudslinging is all over the place. Although the candidates are guilty of their fair share of it, much of it is coming from third-party extremists. Here are a few misconceptions that need to be cleared up:

Barack Obama

1) Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim. He has never been a Muslim, never prayed in a mosque, and never embraced the Muslim faith. Senator Obama is a self-professing committed Christian.

2) Barack Obama was not sworn into the Senate using the Koran. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Congress, was sworn in using the Koran. Senator Obama was sworn in using his Bible, and the oath was administered by Dick Cheney.

3) Obama is not the Anti-Christ. Sites all over the net are claiming this. These same people have also been pointing their finger at political figures as the Anti-Christ for 30 years.

4) Barack Obama is not an Arab or a terrorist. He was born in Hawaii. His father was a black Kenyan; his mother was a white American from Kansas.

5) If Barack Obama gets elected president, he might not be the first “black president.” Read more…

Every 4 years when we have a presidential election, we’re often left with words, phrases, and people who become immortalized in pop culture…at least for a few minutes.  Here are just a few of the things we have learned from the 2008 presidential race:

- “Joe the Plumber” is no longer just a bad character for a professional wrestler; he’s now an American icon!

- A “Maverick” is more than a basketball team in Dallas.

- John McCain has a lot of “friends.”

- Barack Obama is closing in on the Guiness record for “uh”s.

- The media has more left turns than a NASCAR race. Read more…

If you watch any presidential debate or any presidential candidate’s speech, you’re bound to hear a similar theme. Both Barack Obama and John McCain talk about reaching across party lines and representing bipartisan views. They talk about the need to tie both parties together and unite the country as one.

Yet in many ways, by saying those things, they prove they are more out of touch with the common man than they think. You see, I don’t believe our country is as divided along party lines as “Washington” thinks. Read more…

[To avoid sounding preachy in this blog, I am going to refer to our 2 main presidential candidates as Candidate A and Candidate B.] Read more…

We are only 33 days away from the presidential election, and I constantly hear news channels talking about “undecided voters.” By their definition, these aren’t voters who are leaning slightly to the left or right, these are voters who are stuck dead in the middle of the fence and have no idea who they are voting for.

Last Friday night, after the presidential debate, Read more…

Well folks, the stage has been set for the main event. In one corner we have the GOP, led by the age and experience of John McCain and the maverick-like attitude of Sarah Palin. In the other corner, the Dems are represented by the audacity of hope and agent of change, Barack Obama, tag-teaming with his partner, Joe Robinette (I did not make that up) Biden.

So we finally have our final 2 candidates for the Presidential election and now finally know who their running mates will be. (Someone like Ralph Nader might slip his name in, but really, who cares?)

So the 2008 election is upon us. Mudslinging is well under way, commercials are attacking everything from the sanctity of life to foreign oil.

Now that we are in the home stretch, let me ask you this question:

What is the most important issue for you?

I know there are many issues that affect all of us and issues we have deep convictions/preferences about. But what is the single most important issue to you in the upcoming campaign?

Btw, if you are an American citizen over the age of 18 and have not registered to vote, DO IT NOW! Who you vote for is not as important as IF you vote. You can reigster by clicking here.
