Weird Obama Art Car Revealed In Austin

The city slogan for Austin (TX), where I will begin on air at 96.7 Kiss FM this weekend, is "Keep Austin Weird." Well, I believe this qualifies.

Austin-based bumper sticker company, Bumperactive, designed an Obama-themed bumper sticker for all fifty states. Then someone was willing to plaster them all over her ride.




More pictures of the car and the owner, Holly, are here.

New Ad Shows Obama in True Light

I was searching the internet today and found this ad by Our Country Deserves Better, it has become a viral hit on the internet. It's not so much what it says about America's most popular governor...It's what it says about Barack Obama.

"Sarah Palin Better Than Barack Obama"

Obama Looks For Teen Actresses to Play Incest-Rape Victims in Anti-Palin Ads

After the addition of Governor Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket earlier this month, the Obama Camp sent out ads looking for "break your heart" teen actresses to play incest-rape victims for their anti-Palin (and McCain) ads.

Needs of the Many posted the ad that was sent out to actresses in the Las Vegas area:

Here is the wording of the anti-Palin ad:

The actress should be 15-19, and “break your heart” without saying a word. Her role is that of a victim of incest or rape who is now pregnant, and “forced to keep her child b/c Roe v. Wade overturned means no exception for rape or incest.”

And, this is the candidate of hope and change?

By the way- McCain has made it clear that he supports abortion in cases of rape or incest. Governor Palin does not support abortion.

Cornyn Responds To Noriega's Latest Ad

This past Friday, Rick Noriega a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate against John Cornyn in Texas, released a YouTube video saying John Cornyn received just under $4 million from the "financial industry" and says that Cornyn should return the money "and make a $4 million down payment on the bailout."

Well, if the financial industry's money is tainted like Noriega says, why did Noriega fail to say in the video that Democratic Senators also received money from the "Wall Street friends," including Hillary Clinton ($31 million), Barack Obama ($28 million), John Kerry ($19 million) and Chris Dodd ($13 million). Yet Noriega isn't asking these Senators to return this money. Hypocritical?

Cornyn's campaign spokesman Kevin McLaughlin responded, "Come on Rick, get with the game, this is a time for serious people. While John Cornyn is working in a bipartisan fashion to solve this financial crisis, Rick Noriega is in his basement producing angry, incoherent youtube videos."

Family Doesn’t Want Obama Wearing Troop Bracelet

Barack Obama played the "me too" game during the Friday debates on September 26 after Senator John McCain mentioned that he was wearing a bracelet with the name of Cpl. Matthew Stanley, a resident of New Hampshire and a soldier that lost his life in Iraq in 2006. Obama said that he too had a bracelet. After fumbling and straining to remember the name, he revealed that his had the name of Sergeant Ryan David Jopek of Merrill, Wisconsin.

Shockingly, however, Staff Sgt. Brian Jopek, the father of Ryan Jopek, the young soldier who tragically lost his life to a roadside bomb in 2006, recently said on a Wisconsin Public Radio show that his family had asked Barack Obama to stop wearing the bracelet with his son's name on it. Yet Obama continues to do so despite the wishes of the family.

Radio host Glenn Moberg of the show "Route 51" asked Mr. Jopek, a man who believes in the efforts in Iraq and is not in favor of Obama's positions on the war, what he and his ex-wife think of Obama continually using their son's name on the campaign trail.

According to the father, Tracy Jopek wrote to the Senator: “She had asked him not to wear the bracelet.”

Barack Obama is using the bracelet to support a position that his father (and Ryan Jopek himself) clearly do not subscribe to, and at the time even the mother that gave him the bracelet didn’t want it used in the media (that comment was made here) and asked him to take it off.

Brian and Tracy Jopek are now divorced. I don’t know what her current thoughts are. But this interview on WPR, from March 20, was interesting. The quotes here are from about 10 to 14 minutes in.

Longoria Parker Urges For Hispanics To Vote

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker said Thursday that Hispanics could play a crucial role in the presidential election, particularly in swing states, but that many eligible voters remain unregistered.

To urge increased Hispanic participation in the Nov. 4 election, Longoria says, “Go out and tell your families, go out and tell your friends, go out and tell your communities to try to get everyone registered to vote.”

Both campaigns are wooing the increasingly important Hispanic vote, and nonpartisan Hispanic groups have launched unprecedented registration drives.

Sen. John McCain has hired San Antonio marketing guru Lionel Sosa to develop Hispanic outreach efforts for his campaign, which recently began airing a Spanish-language TV ad in Florida that casts Obama as inexperienced and willing to sit down with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez despite his anti-American stance.

A recent poll for the Miami Herald/St. Petersburg Times shows McCain leading Obama with Hispanic voters in Florida by a margin of 51 percent to 41 percent.

Nonpartisan groups such as the National Council of La Raza, Mi Familia Vota Educational Fund and the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials are working to bring a record number of Hispanics to the polls.

Whose Words Worked At Debate?

The latest book that I'm reading is by Dr. Frank Luntz, it's called Words That Work and pretty much tells you that "It's not what you say, it's what people hear."

Dr. Luntz also runs his own research company and had a group of undecided voters in Las Vegas rate the debate. So, what words worked for each candidate?

Texas GOP Releases New Online Ad

Barack Obama's campaign is built upon the theme of "change." Looking at his history in the Illinois State Senate, it's hard to find what he actually changed while serving.

The Republican Party of Texas has a new web ad titled Present that brings to light the fact that Obama voted "present" nearly 130 times as an Illinois State Senator. Perhaps that's why his Presidential campaign has been so short on specifics and issues "above his pay grade." When his constituents needed him to be their voice on vital decisions, he took a pass.
