We Are Still Posting - One Question We Would Like to Ask All the Presidental Candidates
If elected president, will you fully disclose the facts about UFO's, extraterrestrial intelligence and classifed advanced energy and propulsion systems? Not sure if this would be the right use of words for my question, but you get the idea. What better question could a Nevada blogger ask, as Nevada is home to Art Bell and Area 51. An emergency room doctor has started the Disclosure Project, to get the government to release this information to the American people. Jimmy Carter saw a UFO. And Bill Clinton looked into this. Hillary was interested in UFOs too. But not much information was released.
There is a story out there about President Richard Nixon golfing with comedian Jackie Gleason in Florida in 1973. Jackie asked him about UFOs on the 15th hole that day. Turns out both men had a collection of UFO books in their personal libraries. But Nixon never revealed much to Jackie, usually being surrounded by so many advisors. But that same day around midnight, Nixon showed up unexpectedly at Gleason's house. He was alone, with no Secret Service agents, as Nixon was known to do from time to time. Gleason asked him, "Mr. President, what are you doing here?" and Nixon said he wanted to take Gleason someplace and show him something.
Gleason jumped into Nixon's private car and the two of them drove over to Homestead Air Force Base. Gleason said, "I remember we got to the gate and this young MP came up to the car to look to see inside and his jaw seemed to drop a foot when he saw who was behind the wheel. He just sort of pointed and we headed off." By this time, the Secret Service were going nuts trying to locate the President. The President drove Gleason to the far end of the base in a segregated area. Gleason said, "The security police saw us coming and just sort of moved back as we passed them and entered the structure. There were a number of labs we passed through first before we entered a section where Nixon pointed out what he said was the wreckage from a flying saucer, enclosed in several large cases."
At this point, Gleason thought it was a joke because of their earlier conversation on the golf course. But it wasn't. Gleason said, "Next, we went into an inner chamber and there were six or eight of what looked like glass-topped Coke freezers. Inside them were the mangled remains of what I took to be children. Then - upon closer examination - I saw that some of the other figures looked quite old. Most of them were terribly mangled as if they had been in an accident."
The figures were definitely not human, their hands having less than five fingers. Gleason was traumatized by this incident, drinking more and not being able to sleep or eat for three weeks following this visit with the President.

Food Channel to Air The Reno August 14, 2007 Democratic Presidental Candidates Debate, Not!
The last week several things have surprised us:
How well Senator Chris Dodd did in the forum. Even conservative commentator Peggy Noonan thought he looked good. She said Hillary "was off her game" and that Dodd was "a hard act to follow."
Current frontrunner Senator Hillary Clinton not softening up on her pro war vote. She seemed so out of touch with America. I am sure she will do better in the August 14 debate in Reno. At least she showed up.
Bloggers getting upset that Fox News, the mostly widely watched news network in America, is going to air the presidental debate in Reno on August 14, 2007, a tuesday (tentative date). Hey this is a coup for Nevada! Who do you want airing the debate, the Food Channel? Fox has not been too kind to Senator Obama, that may be part of the problem. Here is a video showing Fox attacking Senator Obama. CNN researched it and here is CNN's video debunking the Fox attacks on Senator Obama. One blogger, Nevada -- Gateway to Nevada's Rurals, likes the idea of Fox News airing the debate. We bet his opinion is shared by most rural Nevadans. Here is another anti-fox view and another pro-fox view and another anti-fox view and another pro-fox view...is it August 14 yet?
People getting upset with the Reno reporter who asked candidate Edwards about legal prostitution in Nevada. Hey we are in Nevada, that was a good question.
The woman protestor with the sign that said "I'm here for the mindless easy liberal women, VOTE HILLARY!" What was she thinking?
Someone not telling the moderator of the forum how to pronounce Nevada.
This blog being mentioned today on Chris Dodd's blog. Speaking of blogs, check out the MyDD bloggers` interview with Senator Dodd. MyDD has also interviewed other candidates including Russ Feingold, John Edwards, Barack Obama and former candidate Tom Vilsack. Very cool! We can't even get into the building, lol.

The February 21, 2007 Democratic Presidental Candidates Forum in Carson City, Nevada - Its All About Iraq and Universal Health Care
Why read about it? Watch it yourself. We tried without success to get tickets. They wouldn't even let us in the overflow room that has video, lol. Next event we will hang behind the building looking for an interview, wearing our dirty Che Guevara tee shirt.
After an introduction by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (who has not endorsed any candidate, although his son is working for Hillary) and AFSCME (America's public service union) President Gerald McEntee, all the major democratic presidental candidates showed up except for Senator Barack Obama and retired General Wesley Clark. George Stephanopoulos from ABC News was the moderator. He promptly mispronounced the name of the state and was heckled by the Nevadans in the audience. Shocker no one told him how to pronounce Nevada correctly.
Senator Chris Dodd started things out. He was the most impressive candidate and admitted his vote on going to Iraq was a mistake. He said most politicians don't say two things - I don't know and I made a mistake. He has two small children and said we need a surge in diplomacy not more troops in Iraq.
Senator Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner, defended her vote for the Iraqi war and wants universal health insurance for all Americans by the end of her second term. She seemed the most pro-war of all the candidates and did not apologize on her pro-war senate vote.
Tom Vilsack, former governor of Iowa, asked the audience what they have done today to end the war in Iraq. He wants Congress to cut off funding for the war in Iraq now. He is worried about the weakening of the National Guard and appears to be the strongest anti-war candidate. He said the current defense budget is "unauditable", and the money we will save on Iraq should go into health care. He said if we put the liability for social security and medicare on the books, it would conservatively be a 39 trillion dollar liablility. He has since dropped out of the race.
John Edwards, former senator from North Carolina, came out very strong for unions. He wants to ban the hiring of permanent replacement workers for companies whose workers are on strike. He has already put forward a universal health care package. He does not want to wait eight years like Hillary Clinton, he wants universal health care coverage now by eliminating the George Bush tax cuts on Americans making more than $200,000 dollars a year. He wants us to draw down 40 or 50 thousand troops now out of Iraq. He voted for the war, and said he was wrong and said Bush and Company were incompetent on their handling of the war.
Bill Richardson, ex-governor of New Mexico, wants a strong nominee for President. He wants all candidates to sign a pledge they will not use negative campaigning against the other candidates. "Governors actually do things," the pro-union Richardson said. He said the next president must get us out of Iraq, worry about global warming, give us universal health insurance (Massachussets style plan) and get us more energy independent. He quoted Rabin: "You don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies."
Senator Joe Biden signed up for Richardson's no negative campaigning pledge. Biden wants federalism/decentralization in Iraq with some oil resevered for the Sunnis. Biden talked about the incompetence of the Bush regime, saying he was mislead by the early success in Afghanistan. He made a mistake he said in assuming the Bush administration were competent. He is worried about a wider war between Sunni and Shia in the middle east unless we handle the Iraq War properly. Refreshing, a candidate with a solution to the Iraq War.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio said he was not fooled by President George Bush. He was against the Iraq war from the beginning, finding no evidence Iraq was responsible for 911. He wants to get rid of the American contractors in Iraq (said they were cheating Iraqis) and have reparations for the people of Iraq. He said if Iraq did not have oil, we would not of went to war there. He said the war and the subsequent occupation is illegal. Kucinich's health care plan does not include a role for the for-profit insurance companies. He wants to eliminate the wasteful health care costs caused by the for-profit insurance system (paperwork and related costs and profits). He wants everyone to have health care. His first week in office he said would be to eliminate NAFTA and other trade agreements and go back to bilateral trade pacts.
Former senator Mike Gravel of Alaska is not convinced the democrats will win in 2008. Tens of millions of Americans had the view we should not invade Iraq, why weren't the democratic senators against the war early on? He is worried about a congressional congress on Iraq dragging out the war. He wants to eliminate the income tax system. He said a candidate with executive experience will be a better president than one with just legislative experience. He wants public funding for campaign.
Exceeded Expectations Award goes to Senator Christopher Dodd. Worse Than Expected Award goes to Senator Hillary Clinton. Too bad Senator Barack Obama did not show up.
There were some good natured young republican protestors outside the event with signs like "Keep Nevada Red." Another sign said "I'm here for the mindless easy liberal women, VOTE HILLARY!" Someone told them to "Go to Iraq." Wish I hand brought my Mao hat and my tee shirt with the big picture of Che Guevara. I could of had a sign that said "Better Red Than Dead", and joined their party for the press pictures. Something to keep in mind for next time, lol.
