TexasFred’s Non-Scientific Polling Place

I have started a NEW site, TexasFred’s Non-Scientific Polling Place where I will be posing some serious questions on numerous topics, all responses are anonymous, even as the blog owner I can’t see who votes for what, I have not, nor will I set up a Site Meter or a Technorati listing, there are NO tracking cookies as far as I know, this poll and your vote is TOTALLY anonymous and confidential…

I intend on keeping this blog and poll up at least through Election ‘08, and I intend on having new poll questions posted daily if at all possible, I would appreciate it if you fine folks would submit some SERIOUS question for the poll, along with the answer options you want to have displayed…

I think we need a place where reasonable and intelligent questions can be posed by ALL and responded to by all as well, we get a good look at the ‘pulse’ of the blogosphere that way, and this question submission is NOT limited to Republicans or Conservatives, it is open to ALL, and all submissions will be considered…

Please do me a favor?? Pass this along to your email list and/or make a post on your blog about it??

If you make a post linking the new blog, let me know via email, I will link you here and return the favor, but you need to include your blogs name and URL in the email, I list over 300 blogs and have about 225 folks on my email, if you’re not one of the ‘biggies’ I may not recognize a name alone, email me with your URL…

And PLEASE, don’t hesitate to contribute poll questions, just email them to me at [email protected] and if they’re intelligent, well stated questions with no more than 6 answer options, they may be used…

I have a large variety of categories at the bottom of this post, maybe we can all get some ideas and contribute to this polling site…

Thanks folks, Fred

Bush, Clinton, Bush … Clinton?

Friday, September 28th, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) - Forty percent of Americans have never lived when there wasn’t a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. Anyone got a problem with that?

With Hillary Rodham Clinton hoping to tack another four or eight “Clinton” years on to the Bush-Clinton-Bush presidential pattern that already has held sway for two decades, talk of Bush-Clinton fatigue is increasingly cropping up in the national political debate.

The dominance of the two families in U.S. presidential politics is unprecedented. (The closest comparisons are the father-son presidencies of John Adams and John Quincy Adams, whose single terms were separated by eight years, and the presidencies of fifth cousins Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt, whose collective 20 years as president were separated by a quarter-century.)

“We now have a younger generation and middle-age generation who are going to think about national politics through the Bush-Clinton prism,” said Princeton University political historian Julian Zelizer, 37, whose first chance to vote for president was 1988, the year the first President Bush was elected. And as for the question of fatigue, Zelizer added: “It’s not just that we’ve heard their names a lot, but we’ve had a lot of problems with their names.”

Full Story Here:
Bush, Clinton, Bush … Clinton?

Let’s do an even more comprehensive run down and possibility prediction, shall we??

G.H.W. Bush was Ronald Reagan’s VP for 8 years and then POTUS for 4 years, giving him a total of 12 years in the White House, not as POTUS the entire time but there none the less, before he lost to Bill Clinton who infested the White House for a total of 8 years and was succeeded by G.W. Bush who has stumbled and stuttered his way through nearly 2 full terms and barring some tragic event will be a sitting POTUS for 8 years, that’s a total of 28 years so far where there’s been either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House in one capacity or another, stay with me now because here’s where it gets a bit more complicated…

If Hillary should win in ‘08, God forbid, but IF she did and only served 1 term, that gives us a total of 32 years with either a Clinton or a Bush in the White House, and suppose she were to somehow be re-elected in 2012, and went on to serve another 4 years as POTUS, now we’re looking at 36 years with a Clinton or a Bush in the White House…

Fast forward a bit and use your imagination now, it’s 2016 and Jeb Bush is approaching ‘elder statesman’ status and he convinces enough people that HE needs a shot at the Oval Office and he gets himself elected, even if just for 1 term we’re looking at a total of 40 years of a Bush or a Clinton in the White House, and just suppose ol’ Jeb gets himself re-elected and serves another 4 years, OK, now we’re up to a total of 44 years that this nation has had either a Clinton or a Bush in the White House, but hold onto your hat’s, I’m not done yet, we’re up to the year 2020 now…

Chelsea Victoria Clinton (born February 27, 1980) will be 40 years old by that time, do you see the possibilities here??

We could conceivably have at least 52 years of uninterrupted Clinton/Bush in the White House, tell me there’s not some sort of ‘grand scheme’ for a Globalist America at work here…

Giuliani Defends Right to Bear Arms

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

NEW YORK (AP) - Rudy Giuliani, who called for tough gun control as New York’s mayor, said Tuesday the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and a recent court ruling on personal liberties framed his current outlook defending a right to bear arms.

“You have to look at all of these issues in light of the different concerns that now exist, which is terrorism, the terrorists’ war on us,” the Republican presidential contender told The Associated Press in an interview.

He added that his thinking also was influenced by a federal appeals court’s decision this year to overturn a 30-year-old ban on private ownership of handguns in Washington.

“It is a very, very strong description of how important personal liberties are in this country and how we have to respect them,” he said of the ruling.

Giuliani Defends Right to Bear Arms

Has Rudy experienced an epiphany?? Has he seen the light of RIGHT and freedom?? Or is he a pandering politico looking for votes??

It’s pretty easy to run off at the mouth and make all kinds of promises that you have no intention of keeping when you’re trying to acquire the highest office in the land, and it’s even easier to reverse your statements if and when you do ascend to that office…

It has been my personal experience that a leopard doesn’t change his spots, and I seriously doubt that Rudy has changed his, and I don’t trust ANYONE that suddenly sees the light if you will, changing sides that fast throws up all kinds of red flags for me, I believe he’s just found a way to grab some attention with a hot button issue for conservatives and Repubs and remains a RINO bordering on becoming a full blown libber, that’s my opinion of it…

Recently I was accused of being a ‘borderline racist’, there were 2 or 3 sites making this accusation and it was based solely on me being the owner of this Blog and Blog Roll, and the fact that I am a member and admin at the Redneck Mafia, another Blog Roll that uses the Confederate flag in it’s logo, and it seems that these charges of racism are based on the sheer stupidity of the accusers and their misconception that the Confederate flag is a racist symbol and therefore in some way connected to, or the cause of slavery… It is NOT…

I won’t bore the uneducated imbeciles making those accusations with truth that they could easily find if they were so inclined, but I will say this, slavery existed in the United States LONG before the Confederacy was even a dream, figure that time line out for yourself and then re-evaluate your accusations…

This Blog Roll is in NO WAY associated with RACISM, it is dedicated to Sons and Daughters of the Old South and OUR (CSA) history and heritage, and if you don’t KNOW your Southern (CSA) history, I suggest you STUDY before you criticize…
