May Day Two Party Dictatorship

May Day. It’s a Two Party Dictatorship says former Gov. Jesse Ventura.

“ These 2 Parties are destroying our Country. They’re responsible for the shape the Country’s in.

It’s just like Pro Wrestling. In front of the cameras they don’t like each other. Behind the scenes they’re all working together for the common cause. They’re a 2 Party Dictatorship!” – Jesse Ventura

“ I hope Ron Paul does well …….. as difficult as climbing Mt. Everest. Stop voting for Democrats and Republicans. Vote for anyone else. They’ve ruined our Country.

I would immediately bring all of our troops home. I would close all of our foreign military bases. Do you realize that I’m 60 years old now and my Country’s been at war for over half my life.

Corporate welfare is 100 to 1000 times higher than social welfare is. That’s where to start. Let’s take our Country back from the Corporate Powers that own it today.” – Jesse Ventura

Baltimore Ravens win Raven way Defense

The Baltimore Ravens won the Raven way 20-13, on Defense. Their AFC playoff win gave them a perfect Home record this season at 9-0.

Baltimore won their first home playoff game since 2000 and improved the Ravens to a perfect 6-0 all-time against Houston.

It was a good weekend to be named Harbaugh.

This was the first time since the NFL went to its current playoff format in 1990, that the first 7 games have been won by the home team.

QB Joe Flacco had 3 TD throws and nows it’s on the road to New England where the Top 2 AFC seeds battle it out for a Super Bowl appearance.

Offense gets the glory – Defense wins the game. Ask Ray Lewis.

Colin Powell – Obama will Electrify the Country

Former Republican Secretary of State & former 4 Star General, Colin Powell speaking on NBCs Meet the Press – endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama for President.

“ I can’t deny that it will be a historic event when an African-American becomes President and should that happen , all Americans should be proud —

that we have reached this point in our national history where such a thing could happen. It would also not only Electrify the Country , but Electrify the World.”

“ I come to this conclusion because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America.

A big job of the new president will be conveying a new image of American leadership, a new image of America’s role in the world.”

“ I think what the President has to do is to start using the power of the Oval Office and the power of his personality to convince the American people and to convince the World that America is solid.

America is going to move forward – and for that reason, I’ll be voting for Senator Barack Obama.” – Gen. Colin Powell
