            After four weeks in office as President and quite a bit of activity during this time, we find it is time to take a look at President Barack Obama and his ability to govern. In order to do this properly, we have to first refresh our memories as to the themes and promises he [...]

             It should not matter whether or not one has voted for the winner of the Presidential election this past November, come January 20, 2009, Mr. Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America and becomes at that moment the President for all Americans! While every inauguration [...]

             One of the most closely watched and loudly reported statistics in the economy are the unemployment numbers in America, but only if they are on the rise. Would it not be nice to hear on a television program someone come on and say to us: “Here are the facts regarding the employment numbers in [...]

          As we have in the past, Common Sense Authors will share an article written earlier this year by Mark Steyn, a well-known and respected author and columnist who has authored several books, most recently America Alone: The End of the World as we know it. His columns appear weekly in several newspapers and magazines [...]

            Even though it will be 71 days before President-Elect Barack Obama will be sworn in as the next President of the United States, his life has already changed very dramatically. He himself has to transition from campaign mode to governance, forget about eloquent speeches to adoring crowds and making promises to as many potential [...]

At long last, the 2008 Presidential election marathon has ended and we have a new President-elect who will be sworn in on January 20, 2009. Barack Obama’s political accomplishments have broken new ground.  He is yet another reason that we tell our kids to not limit their goals and they can achieve anything in America.  [...]

            We finally have arrived at the point where voters will decide tomorrow the future of America for the next several years. And while polls and the liberal media are predicting a convincing Obama victory, we here at Common Sense Politics have the patience to wait until the votes have all been counted and that [...]

Just a couple days left.  Charging money for carbon credits that in essence is just another tax from O.  This will hasten the increasing cost to all and the faster decline in our economic situation.

            Similarly to what we did in the last article about John McCain, we will take a final look at Barack Obama just three days before Election Day, that is, we will review only what we know about him since we cannot have access to his full background. It is truly bewildering that there are [...]

            With just five more days until Election Day, this will be our last article focusing on John McCain, the Republican candidate for President of the United States. Overall, he ran an honorable campaign and did the best he could. For purposes of disclosure, we here at this site did not favor the idea of [...]

It is interesting that the topic isn’t about wether redistribution of wealth is right or wrong, but the method best to implement it.  Obama has been very consistent with his view regarding redistributing money from those that earn it to those that don’t.

            Once again, we yearn for the ‘good old days’ when individual rights and responsibilities were carried out by them, by the individuals. And…. generally speaking, America was the better for it! It was often times referred to as rugged individualism and that in itself was a desired lifestyle. But over many years it has [...]

 Another video you must consider before voting this coming Tuesday.  How did this get so far?  Please comment for all to read.

             The above title might appear partisan; yet it is not. We are merely trying to analyze the methods used by Democrats to persuade citizens to vote for their candidates. This is nothing new and if it had not been successful in previous elections, they would not continue to do so. Common Sense Politics has [...]

            The four debates are history and generally speaking, they did not produce the results the voters expected. Common sense should tell us that if something does not work or does not serve a purpose any longer, change it or do away with it. What are we talking about, you might ask and you should. [...]

Obama clearly articulates his tax plan for America in a conversation with a plumber.

            Once upon a time in America, homeownership was a goal and an accomplishment and therefore a privilege and not a right and entitlement! But that was once upon a time when a great deal of common sense and reality governed this country. If one wanted to buy a house, one had to have about [...]

Newt finally mentioned what those of us that think have wanted to hear for some time.  Senator McCain needs to find opportunities for these words too, but to a larger audience.  Rather than orchestrating what people see about our presidential candidates, the Main Stream Media needs to report the news that we need to know, [...]

            Of course, we could wait until November 5 to find out who won the Presidential sweepstakes this year but the odds are so heavily in favor of the Democrat ticket that it seems to be a waste of time and money to wait until that day in exactly four weeks from today. When you [...]

It is about time that Senator McCain takes the gloves off and speaks openly and honestly about Obama’s past.   While Obama has fabricated events, denied affiliations, dodged confrontations, and told stories in any number of other ways, Senator McCain has done nothing more than speak cautiously.  Well, whether Governor Palin or another motivation prompted Senator [...]

            The first debate between the two Presidential contenders this year has come and gone. The only true excitement was the build-up to this event when John McCain suspended his campaign two days earlier and asked for a possible postponement of the debate. The suspense continued until some time earlier on the day of the [...]

            There are very few examples in American history where the hypocrisy of liberalism has been more clearly exposed than with the introduction of Alaska’s Governor Sarah Palin as John McCain’s Vice-Presidential running mate. Common Sense Politics knows of a few others and will comment on them below but we want to focus on the [...]

            There are just six more weeks of campaigning until America will go to the polls on November 4 and elect the next President and Vice-President to four-year terms. In between are also four highly anticipated debates, three between the two Presidential candidates and one between the two Vice-Presidential candidates.

The first debate between John McCain and [...]

Congresswoman Maxine Waters threatening to socialize oil in a way that few can.  The power to usurp is a right of every congresswomen named Maxine, isn’t it?

            A longtime friend of ours in Germany gave us his perspective of our Presidential election race by way of e-mail. It is interesting to note that some Germans follow the campaigns indeed closely and have some strong opinions about it. His name is Franz Seifert and he lives in a small town in the [...]

            By the time, the Democrat’s Party convention ended in Denver on August 28; there were two things that looked rather bleak for the Republican Party. For one, there was a lot of uncertainty about Hurricane Gustav who was anticipated to make landfall on Monday (the first day of the Republican’s convention) somewhere in the Gulf [...]

Wow!  Every American should listen to this message.  We don’t hear about this from our main-stream media, do we?  Although it would make sense for American media to support America, we are not asking for that.  Rather, Common Sense Politics would like our main-stream media to report the positive side of the news too.  There [...]

I am pretty sure I heard Obama fabricate his view of McCain’s view of change and then attempt to be funny with his pig in lipstick comment.  Attaching false comments to another person is wrong.  A candidate for President doing so should be disqualified for the job.  When did the Democrat Party choose to lose their integrity and honesty?  Was it when they realized they owned [...]

            The selection of Alaska’s Governor Sarah Palin by John McCain to be his Vice-Presidential running mate in this year’s Presidential election has brought out one thing for all to see: The open bias and unvarnished hatred and disdain for everything conservative. While this is nothing new for those of us who have observed the media, [...]
