             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 [...]

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 [...]

            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 [...]

            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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Standing up for the good of America.  Finally, a decision-making, selfless politician that has accomplished worthwhile projects that help America.  Let her loose in Washington D.C. with your vote in November.  Mrs. Palin will bring Common Sense Politics back to America’s Capitol.

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 [...]

This is the first of two Presidential candidate’s assessments and using strictly alphabetical order, today’s review is about John McCain, the Republican Party nominee. Common Sense Politics will post a similar article next about Barack Obama, the Democrat party candidate. We will not delve into their life stories in any detail other than as it [...]

For about two weeks, we have had two finalists in the Presidential sweepstakes, two United States Senators, John McCain (R) from Arizona and Barack Obama (D) from Illinois. We predicted this outcome well over three months ago in ‘And the Winner Are…‘ but the Primary season dragged on into June and so it is only [...]

One of the hottest issues in the Presidential election primary season on the Democrat’s side has been how to solve the situation of not having the states of Michigan and Florida represented at the Democrat convention in late August of this year. We here at Common Sense Politics think it worthy of analysis and review. [...]

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 [...]

The second ‘Super Tuesday’ for the remaining Presidential candidates has come and gone. For us here as Common Sense Authors, we can share with you what you already know and we can still comment on it from our perspective. While there is a clear winner on the Republican side when John McCain attained more than [...]

Even though it appears that the primary election phase on the Republican side is all but over, or at best just a process for the remaining State caucuses and primaries with John McCain the clear winner and well on his way to become the Republican’s Presidential nominee, the troubles

Between January 29 and February 5 of 2008, eight days in total, no other word was used as often as the word “Super”! Between the presidential campaign and a certain professional sporting event, nothing this huge has ever been cramped into such a short time period. Yes, it was truly a ‘Super Week’

Based on the developments of the past week or two with primary results, candidate endorsements by newspapers and party leaders and the ending of some campaigns of candidates in both major parties, one can easily

Next week Tuesday, registered voters in 22 States will go to the polls to fill out their ballots by making their choices in the Presidential sweepstakes for the two major parties. This day has been dubbed “Super Tuesday” for a long time due to the multitude of primary elections being held across the country. And [...]

You might wonder why Common Sense Authors selected this particular topic today. The reason is very basic: Ignorance on the part of a very, very large number of America’s citizenry is the major reason why things are the way they are in our country. Surely

The highly anticipated second Presidential Election milestone in 2008 has come and gone. The players have left New Hampshire and have moved on to other territories within the United States. We know who the winners were at this primary, Hillary Clinton on the Democrat and John McCain on the Republican side. The biggest losers at [...]

Finally, the circus show called “Iowa caucus 2008” is a thing of the past, and what a show it was. There has never been such hype about a single small state’s presidential primary vote. About 335,000 people left their homes and voted in Iowa, supposedly a record high for this state where more than two [...]

There are certain things in life that we accept without challenge. Two of the most quoted ones are Death and Taxes! And there are probably several others. When it comes to presidential elections every four years, we can add that Iowa Caucasus and the New Hampshire primaries are the first two events in such election [...]

Even though there are officially still sixteen contenders in the Presidential race, eight on each side, a sense of reality allows us to reduce the field somewhat.  There are slightly more than seven weeks before the first votes will be cast in the early primaries in January 2008. This, our method of eliminating

 
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: 

 
     The 110th Congress opened for business January 4, 2007. This year’s event was different from previous ones in that for the first time since January 1995, there was a change in management…the Democrats are in control of both houses of Congress. It was unusual for another reason. For the first time in American history, [...]

 
     The day after the election, President Bush acknowledged that he and his party had taken a “thumpin”. The euphoric pronouncements by the pundits on TV and headlines and articles by the writers for most of the major media outlets hailed the results as ‘historic’, ‘the blue wave’, ‘of landslide proportion’ that gave them similar [...]
