Obama votes pro-growth 0%; McCain 94%

Take a look at your portfolio if you are over 50. Does it have time to recover with a 0% growth President?

These are pro-growth issues. These issues are what will keep you and yours employed, traveling, attending good schools, enjoying a night out, redecorating your home, buying that new car, having a nice retirement, keeping the lights on, reading new books, buying the grandkids some great toys at Christmas and birthdays, choosing what you want to listen to on the radio or watch on TV, what indoor temperature you prefer, what doctor you’ll go to, how much of your parents’ estate you’ll inherit, and a multitude of other things perhaps you’ve forgotten you’ll miss if they are taken away.

Checking out the religion blogs

I saw this at WDTPRS, a Catholic blog. The California Catholic Daily reports on a refresher course on the Latin Mass and Sacraments.

"The Tridentine Mass for Joe Sixpack” is the name for the first class, to be held Nov. 7. The titles for the classes to be held over subsequent weeks are “Getting Married the Way Grandpa Did It” (Nov. 14), “The Requiem Mass” (Nov. 21), and “How to Baptize Babies the Old Way” (Nov. 28)

They're expecting 200+.

Story at The Evangelical outpost Why is the Club for Growth trying to derail Huckabee?

"If the Club for Growth had been around in 1980, Reagan might not have become President. The influential fiscal conservative group would surely have done everything in their power to prevent the Gipper from gaining the nomination. They would have attempted to derail Reagan's campaign just as they are now doing to Gov. Huckabee."

He concludes, after 5 pages of analysis: "I've always considered The Club for Growth to be a respectable conservative organization. But their attempts to deceive their fellow conservatives by misrepresenting Huckabee's record have proven they are unworthy of such trust. Pat Toomey and his organization owe Governor Huckabee--and the rest of us--an apology for their attempted deception."

Rebecca is using November to post something at her blog she's thankful for every day. Then if you contribute what you are thankful for in the comments, she'll add you to her next "thankful for" entry. She lives in the Yukon and writes wonderful posts on theology and hymns. Even if you don't comment, her blog will bless you.
