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.

            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. [...]

            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 [...]

            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 [...]

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, [...]

              The Democrat’s quadrennial gathering in Denver is history. As anticipated, they formally nominated Barack Obama as their Presidential candidate in 2008 who accepted his party’s nomination before 80,000 people last Thursday night at Denver’s Invesco Field, also known as ‘Mile-High Stadium’. The setting was befitting a coronation of sorts and that should not [...]

Just because we have not been commenting on the two Presidential campaigns for some weeks does not mean Common Sense Politics has not been watching those two candidates and their respective campaign activities. To be quite honest, it’s been funny and very entertaining and we think that a man like Neil Simon could probably have [...]

We all have heard buzzwords from politicians over the many years since the invention of political slogans. Many of them have become bumper stickers as well and have been effective while others have been not so successful. Overall though, since they keep popping up, politicians and agenda driven people and groups must think of them [...]

This is the second of two Presidential candidate’s assessments, this one about Barack Obama. Like we did with Senator McCain, Common Sense Politics will not go into deep detail when it comes to his background and upbringing but will instead focus more on recent history and events in his life. Anybody who wants greater detail [...]

When looking back, we here at Common Sense Politics have not always been correct in our predictions when we made them. For example, we did not pick John McCain as even having a chance of getting the Republican nomination before the primaries and caucuses began. But slightly more than two month ago, on March 11 [...]

About two weeks ago, Common Sense Politics posted an article about the Hate Rants of Barack Obama’s pastor, it is therefore only fair that we take a closer look at what happened in the Clinton campaign. On three different occasions including as recent as March 17, 2008, Democrat Presidential candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton told about [...]

For the entire time of our website’s existence, we have stayed clear of issues dealing with race, be it white, black, brown, yellow or any other color. As Common Sense Authors, we believe that race is not a topic we can intelligently address and have stayed away from it for that very reason. However, we [...]

On Tuesday of last week, Senator Hillary Clinton made the following comment during another Democrat Candidate debates in Nevada: “President Bush is over in the Gulf now begging the Saudis and others to drop the price of oil. How pathetic.” She continued:  “We should have an energy policy right now, putting people to work in [...]

Common Sense Authors assume that most individuals over the age of twenty know that the two major political parties pick their respective Presidential candidates at the party convention every four years. This process takes place by the voting of party delegates at these conventions. Now, in most instances, there are

It appears that an ugly element has become part of the Presidential primary campaign in recent weeks or even months. It is the questioning of a candidate’s religion! The last time, religion played such a role in a race for the Presidency was in 1960 when John F. Kennedy’s Catholicism was an issue in the [...]

The most recent Presidential candidate debate on the Republican side was held in Florida and hosted by CNN with Anderson Cooper as moderator before a live audience of several hundred people. As before,

 
As was the case during the last election in November 2006, we can expect soon a constant drumbeat of so called ‘Sloganeering’ for the upcoming ones in 2008, the primary and general elections. If you might remember last

 
If we could assume for purposes of making a point here that if by some unusual action it would become unlawful to pander to constituents in Presidential elections, it would mean that there could currently be NO Presidential race! In simpler words:

 
Analogies are always interesting and often very helpful, especially when simple and understandable examples help shed light on much more complex ideas. Watching the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago, the start of the race brought to mind the Presidential Race (for 2008) and it tempts a comparison: 

 
On November 26 of last year, we posted two articles here entitled: ‘Election Results and Analysis’ and ‘The People have spoken’. Based on the closeness of the various races in the House as well as the Senate, we concluded that the results reflected a shift among moderate voters, the consistent 15 percent of the American [...]
