Let's Get.......Political!!!!
Not to be confused....with "Let's get physical".......
We here at 5 on Five are of the "non-violent" persuasion .....
The election for the presidency of the United States........and ruler of the free world is a mere 2 weeks away.
Are you registered? Will you vote?
Today, I received my new voter registration card from this great state of Georgia. All I had requested was a change of address ..........and this took a startling 3 weeks!
Remember folks.....in order to vote....you must be registered.
And ..........if you don't vote.....you don't matter.
Race.......does matter.....
Regardless of what you have heard, read, or seen.......The fact that this race pits a white man versus a black man..... race matters. ......
Think about it .......both Barack Obama and John McCain are US senators..........both want to give us tax breaks........both want to distance themselves from the present Bush administration....
So.......what gives?
We think it is simple........
Barack Obama is the most presidential .......the most intellectual ...........the most communicative ..........the most compelling candidate since JFK.....
But........he's a black man..... his ancestors were slaves.......
Some of white America.......especially those who get their only news .....from FOX News and Rush Limbaugh.......see him as a threat.
They..........are just not ready for a black man to lead the free world. They are still stuck in the 1950's and '60's.......Where is was okay for a black man to "shine your shoes"......but never be in a position of power.
There is history to be made here.....but.....
We urge all of you.......White.....Black........Hispanic.......Asian....."non of the above"..........to reach into your inter self.......and research the issues ..........make a decision........and vote.
Rush Limbaugh and Fox News prey upon the uneducated white voters in America..........For they believe whatever Fox and Rush tell them......Obama's an Arab.....he has ties with terrorist....etc.
All in an orchestrated effort.......to keep a black man down......
And you thought they hated Hillary?
The true meaning of hate will be illustrated....in the next two weeks........
Are you ready?

Hump Day News & Views
They're still playing baseball?????
So it seems. But not for long.......Both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies have commanding 3-1 leads in their best of seven league championship series over the Boston Redsox and the L A Dodgers.
So instead of an east coast -- west coast match-up between L A and Boston in the World Series.....it looks like a Philly-Tampa .....nobody cares....series.
And..........is any one watching?
MLB has a knack for screwing up the obvious. Think about it....How many starting times have their been in this post season? 4pm.....4:05pm.....7:05pm.......7:30pm.....8:05pm....10:05pm.....It's so frustrating.....In the NFL, the early games aways start at 1pm.......the late games, 4:15pm.....been that way .....for 30 years. It's not that difficult..........but MLB.....as usual........still doesn't get it.
The train wreck.....that is the Dallas Cowboys.....
This could get ugly. The starting QB (Tony Romo) is out for 4 weeks with a broken pinkie finger.......the number one coverage DB (Adam "Pacman" Jones) is suspended for at least 4 weeks. Rookie sensation RB ( Felix Jones) is injured. The offensive line is big....but slow.
And..........mark my word.....T. O. is about ready to have one of his team ripping tantrums.....to totally derail this football team.
Oh yes........and a coach (Wade Phillips) who all they players like.....but do not respect.
This won't be pretty.
Home Coming......this Saturday in this southern college town......
For the first time in history........Vanderbilt and Georgia .....will play a football game ........with both teams ranked in the top 25. UGA is #9 and Vandy is #22.
Fun facts:
Since Mark Richt took over as Georgia’s head coach in 2001, the Bulldogs have won six of seven meetings against Vanderbilt. However, Vandy won the last game against Georgia in Sanford Stadium after picking up a 24-22 win in 2006. The Bulldogs beat Vandy 20-17 last year with a field goal as time expired. Georgia leads the series 48-18-2 overall and is 24-4 in Sanford Stadium.
But...........this will not be easy.....The line is Georgia by 14....... And Vandy will just be Vandy.
Just hang around 'till the 4th quarter.....Should be an interesting game.
Shaq...........talking ........smack.......
Shaq still hacked, vows revenge on Spurs
Our take is this: Shaq, you are an old man. You are no where near the player you once were. You are a 1985 Bonneville going up against 2008 Nissan Maximas.......
The Suns grossly over paid for your services. You hold this high powered offense back........because it takes you 15 seconds to make it.....back....... across half court.
Ten years ago.....if Shaq had made these same comments.......they would be relevant.....but in todays' game? Nope........
The only thing that has remained constant during Shaq's NBA career? His free throw shooting.......It still sucks.
The final debate..........
It will go down tonight. Obama and McCain......McCain needs a miracle. McCain comes out yesterday with his economic stimulus plan.........a day after Obama's. And a bit bland in comparison.
And watching Fox News........it was hilarious.... They want .......so bad to derail the Obama Express.......and all they could come up with is ACORN

The only thing I call cowardly is when you're up by 10 and do it. That's a coward move and he knows that and I'll make them pay for it.

A Little Sunday Politics.......
Obama lead up to 9.......in latest Gallup poll.
Seems this recent trip abroad has energized the Barack Obama campaign .
Lots of media attention.......lots of republican whining.......and in the end, Mr. Obama came off looking very presidential.
Here's the latest poll from Gallup.com:
Gallup Daily: Obama 49%, McCain 40%
Third day with Obama holding a significant lead over McCain
PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama now leads John McCain among national registered voters by a 49% to 40% margin in Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted July 24-26.
November..........can not get here fast enough.....
