She gave a very frank, open and honest accounting of her opinions on things that needed to be done in the State of New York.  She also showed a wide depth of local knowledge and an understanding of the limits of what a State Assemblyperson can do.  It’s no wonder that she is endorsed by three parties (the Conservative Party, the Independence Party, and the Republican Party) she knows her stuff. 

It was refreshing to know that there are conservative candidates making their way up the political food chain.  If you listen to the podcast, no doubt you will be engergized to find out more so here is her campaign website, just follow the url: http://www.electbanksdahlke.com/index.php

Then on Sunday at 5:30pm PST East Coast Conservative hosted by Hatton and Ken will be live from the Republican Amphitheater (follow the SLurl http://slurl.com/secondlife/Keen/128/115/22/?title=Republican%20Amphitheater ).  If you miss the show you can download the podcast from http://www.eastcoastconservative.com or the sidebar of this blog(below Conservative Matters).

Then there is the Celebrity Quiz which pits quotes from Obama and quotes from Celebrities against each other in a game of Who Said It?

Finally, in parody of FaceBook, we have the BarackBook which uses social networking to show the potentially harmful connections between Obama and controversial figures.

I gotta say this is my favorite part of presidential politics.  When each side starts creating interesting ways to poke fun at each others weaknesses (one reason why I love SNL during the presidential election).  I don’t mind when they go negative, so long as they do it in a fun and creative way.  Otherwise, it just looks old and tired, and who wants that?

The idea that a meeting being organized around the concept of Democrats that are either open to supporting McCain or will support McCain really lifts my spirits.  Considering Democrats have more registered voters, I was getting kinda worried that Obama mania would sweep all in its path.  Apparently there are a few Democrats who haven’t bought into the hype, which gives me hope for a brighter tomorrow.

It seems to me that this money would have benifited the world more if we would have invested the 48 billion dollars in a cure for HIV/AIDS rather than prolonging the suffering of people in the third world.  Sure that would take longer for results, but  an end to the disease would save more lives in the end.

Also, in case you didn’t notice Congress tacked on an additional 2 Billion for an American Indian Safety and Health Fund.  Not that I care that they  want to help American Indians, but don’t you think they could have made a seperate bill?  Heck, wouldn’t it be better to give them the AIDS money to fix their land, before we try to fix the world?

This is where Conservative Matters and East Coast Conservative are broadcast inside Second Life

Saturday’s epidsode of Conservative Matters begins at 7pm PST and is tentively titled: Hatred Of America – A discussion of how liberals hypocritically claim to love their own country, and yet are seething with hatred for its history, traditions, and culture.  I am sure the liberals in attendance will love this one.  Should be a lively question and answer session for host Ron Skytower.

Sunday is the live simulcast of East Coast Conservative at 5:30pm PST.  I’m not sure what the Hatton and Ken have in store for us this weekend, but as always it will be a mix of their commentary on the news and their humor.

As always, all views are welcome because they help real debate and exchange of ideas happen.  That being said, no personal attacks.  Instead argue against the idea the person holds, they might just be misinformed.
