Paul Broun Jr. has done nothing for the 10th district.  He votes against veterans’ rights, against healthcare for children, against support for our elders, and the list goes on…

Paul Broun Jr. lying about his military record

Bobby Saxon, on the other hand, is an honorable statesman.  An Iraq war combat veteran and small business owner, he knows how to solve the problems that plague or district and nation.

Hillary to Barack: “I HAVE JUNGLE FEVER.”

Yeah, I know I’m about half a week late on this news but whatever. Last Friday, I woke up to find headlines and footage of Hillary and Barack making nice in public. You know what’s worse than PDA? . . . fake PDA. Then again, it wasn’t as if they were frenching or anything–just a hug here, a whisper of sweet nothings there. I mean, just because last Thursday’s live CNN debate was in the Kodak Theatre, I don’t think the two should be vying for best actor/actress anytime soon–even though the debate was as star-studded as the actual Oscars themselves (which will be held February 23rd with Jon Stewart hosting). Leave it to the Oscars to prevail in the face of such adversity as the Writers’ Strike, which killed the Golden Globes and, from what I hear, is nearing an end.

So while we’re already mixing business with pleasure or politics with Hollywood, here’s a rundown of who’s supporting who.

In the Obama camp, we have Oprah (duh), George Clooney (that so-called ONE person who can make a difference in Darfur), Matt Damon (who took time out of his busy schedule, which comprises of making marginally funny Sarah Silverman rap skits about being f**ked by her, to show up), and Kate Walsh (former Grey’s Anatomy firecrotch turned Private Practice frontliner).

On Hillary’s side, we have Barbra Streisand (who probably reminisces about the misty, water-colored memories of the Clinton administration), Steven Spielberg (surprisingly enough), The Nanny (Fran Drescher), and Michael Douglas (who clearly perpetuates his track record for liking disturbingly powerful and unsettling women: Demi Moore as the manipulative corporate woman in Disclosure and Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct). Not that I’m directly likening Hillary to these big-screen persona, since they obviously one-up her in sex appeal. But who needs sex appeal when you have America–Ferrera–on your side? On Friday, the Ugly Betty star joined Chelsea at a Hillary Rally in California.

At last night’s State of the Union address, Hillary and Barack had some encounters that did not seem so friendly. You can judge for yourself, though.

In this photo (courtesy NBC) Barack is speaking with his new endorsee, Ted Kennedy. He appears to be quite… perturbed with his shifty glance and crossed arms.

The following photo is even more telling.

In this photo (courtesy Associated Press photographer J. Scott Applewhite), Obama turns away as Hillary shakes the hand of Senator Kennedy. You can judge for yourself… but it appears Obama may have been in an unfriendly mood last night.

And this all come on the day when it is revealed that Obama worked with political insider and Chicago real estate deal maker Antoin “Tony” Rezko. Rezko is now in jail for fraud charges. It appears Rezko helped Obama purchase his 1.6 million dollar home in an upscale suburb of Chicago…

Pictured below is Obama, Rezko, and the Chicago mansion.

Not the best day for the Obama campaign. Oh–and polls have Obama trailing 25% behind Hillary in the Florida primary tonight…

With the coming election, it is important to begin to investigate the political atmosphere.

Already, with only an extremely small portion of the population voting, we have seen multiple candidates drop out. On the democrats’ side: Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, and finally Kucinich; on the republicans’: Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson.

So with those candidates that remain, let’s look at some details… the good, the bad, and the UGLY.Beginning with the democrats… in the order of their delegate count

Hillary Clinton (230 delegates):

The good: She is the lead when it comes to fundraising (more than 100 million). She has incredible experience and would be able to come into office and take control on day one. Her cabinet would be filled with the country’s most experienced and educated people. Bill.

The bad: She is seen as bringing back the past, to a degree. Some believe that she isn’t real. She is perceived by some as not likable.

The ugly: The media has taken quite a pro-Obama stance, hurting her politically. Bill.

Barack Obama (152 delegates):

The good: He is charismatic and is seen as a force for change. Caroline Kennedy even endorses him. He is winning over the majority of the young voters, along with the majority of black voters in many states. The media is supporting him in every way possible, it seems.

The bad: He has a tendency to say things that end up hurting him in the end, when he spoke of Ronald Reagan being a great president and criticized the democratic party, for example.

The ugly: He has no experience. He has only been in the senate for 2 years. He does not have the connections necessary to be president. His foreign policy experience is as extensive as mine (none). It is doubtful that he could become president and immediately get to work. His cabinet appointments may all be as inexperienced, a potential crisis.

John Edwards (61 delegates):

The good: He is fairly charismatic and is perceived by some to look like a president. He has some experience and has clear plans on what he would like to accomplish as president. His stance on ending poverty and taking on corporate America is seen by many as appealing.

The bad: He is no longer closely involved in the political world. The connections he has may not be numerous or helpful. He used to be what some would call an “ambulance chaser.”

The ugly: He lost his own state in the primaries. He is almost out of money.

Mike Gravel (0 delegates):

The good: He is so unknown that he has avoided all media scrutiny.

The bad: He has no delegates and has received less than 5000 votes so far.

The ugly: He is so unknown that nobody has any idea of who he is or what he stands for. He has absolutely no money.

And now on to the Republicans….

Mitt Romney (73 Delegates):

The good: He is pretty darn wealthy. He is willing to put forward his personal wealth for his campaign. He has experience with economic matters, which is helping him greatly right now. He has a large delegate lead over the other candidates. He looks like a president.

The bad: He is Mormon, and many people will not vote for a Mormon. His delegate lead has not translated into a perceived lead for the campaign itself.

The ugly: He is perceived as being sleazy by many. He represents wealth.

John McCain (38 delegates):

The good: He is an all around American, a war hero, too! There is a great deal of respect for him amongst the political world. He has not launched a nasty campaign, which has helped the perception of his as a person and candidate. He is fairly genuine.

The bad: Many republicans are angry with him over immigration policies he has supported. His voting record often hurts him.

The ugly: He is old. Really old: 72 years old… that will hurt his electability.

Mike Huckabee (29 delegates):

The good: He has a way with the radical right and all evangelical Christians. He hasn’t had a very ugly campaign, which has helped him to a degree.

The bad: He is isolating a great deal of the republican party with his stance on certain issues. He is calling for alterations of the Constitution?! He has been known to support tax increases. Iowa was a one-time win and he is now running out of money.

The ugly: He is a preacher, which will seriously hurt his electability.

Ron Paul (6 delegates):

The good: He has a way with young voters that aren’t supporting Obama. His stance on drugs and taxes attracts many voters.

The bad: He isn’t that well-known and isn’t doing well so far. He is almost out of money and doesn’t have a base of support to draw from. He has few political allies.

The ugly: His stance on drugs and taxes isolates many voters. He could never be elected.

Rudy Guiliani: (2 delegates):

The good: How he handled 9/11.

The bad: His third marriage, employment of an illegal immigrant in his home, lack of moral strength, stance on abortion, lack of money.

The ugly: He placed all bets on Florida, spent all his time and money there, and is now in a distant fourth place in the polls.

Coming soon: Politics 101: How to Understand the Primary Election Process.

One of the most important issues of this year’s presidential campaign is the economy and the problems surrounding it. With yesterday’s interest rate cut of three quarters of a percent and today’s ludicrous rebate deal, the economy clearly needs help. Each candidate has their own plan to stimulate the economy, yet a controversial topic—for all candidates—is taxes. In a country that offers so much, it can be surprising that taxes are so low. Even further astonishing is the current administration’s cutting of taxes while increasing spending. In order to achieve fiscal responsibility, it is imperative that we raise taxes for the richest Americans while cutting our national spending.

In the United States of America, there is a serious income gap. The richest ten percent of Americans make a great deal more than those in the next income bracket. America is one of the few countries where the CEO of a company makes a thousand times more than the person that cleans the floors. This being the case, it is a necessity to raise taxes for this income bracket. The Bush administration carelessly implemented tax cuts at a time where our economy needed more revenue, but it is time to eliminate these mistakes. By taxing on the basis of income, the government will collect revenue from those who can afford to pay—the richest ten percent of Americans.

For the middle and lower classes, taxes should remain the same or moderate tax breaks should be provided. What should not occur is a handout of checks, which is exactly what happened today in Washington. If the economy is failing, you do not dole out money to the people. It is irresponsible for our politicians to believe that Americans are going to put all of this money straight back into the economy. Americans will use it to pay off their debts, mortgages, and bills. However, one thing is clear in Washington: IT IS AN ELECTION YEAR. Hence, all the politicians will be praising this idea of giving money back to the people because all politicians enjoy getting elected. If this were not an election year, I do not believe we would be seeing this foolish act occur. This may just be the next step in a downward spiral of our economy.

A basic formula comes into play when trying to prevent recession: cut spending, increase taxes. It is truly that simple. If our country continues to spend billions in Iraq, we will not be able to avoid the coming recession. It is preposterous that we are building homes in Iraq while foreclosing on those in America. We can only hope that the next president will have a greater sense of fiscal responsibility.
