A commenter by the name “anonymousguy” has tipped us off to the identity of the evil left wing attacker from the DailyKos; his name would be Charles Hartley, aka ArcXIX. As everyone on here knows ArcXIX began the nasty personal attack rumor against Bristol Palin last weekend, stating she was the mother of Sarah Palin’s down syndrome son. Well of course the ridiculous personal attack rumor turned out to be completely false.

With the help of this fabulous investigative “anonymousguy” that emailed me this evening, it appears the Blogsophere has uncovered the name of this nasty attacker from Columbus, OH. Here is a synopsis of the hours of hard work this man put in to finding this man’s true identity.

1. Charles Hartley has noted on a blog page that is gone on the DailyKos that he is a registered voter in Franklin County, OH; where Columbus, OH is located. He stated that “This was my first year working for the Board of Elections.”

2. At this LINK, Charles notes that registration fraud is occuring in Franklin County.

3. When a search is conducted with the name Charles Hartley ArcXIX Columbus, OH in Google, this link pops up: Google Cache Link.

That link gives the name Charles Hartley w/ the alias AgentArc, the city of Columbus, OH, the age of 24, and the AOL IM Name of ArcXIX. That my friends is being called: Caught. What a fabulous job of investigative work by “AnonynmousGuy” who gets 100% of the credit for uncovering this evil liberal who spread the horrific lie to America through the website the DailyKos.

CHARLES HARTLEY. SHAME ON YOU!

The Gallup daily tracking poll as recent as last week had Senator Barack Obama (D) up a large 8 points over his challenger Senator John McCain (R). However, ever since the two speeches given by Governor Sarah Palin and the aformentioned McCain, the polls have shot up in McCain’s favor and as of Saturday it’s Obama 47%, McCain 45%.

The numbers for Barack Obama have been going down since the end of the Republican National Convention and according to the website I usually do not like, 538, McCain is expected to be ahead in the polls by a margin of 2-4 points come the new week. Even before this new Gallup tracking poll came out, in the most recent CBS poll, the two men were tied at 42%.

In this blogger’s opinion, this does not bode well for Senator Obama. His bounce was already taken into account after his VP pick and Convention and now that McCain looks as though he will be in the lead in the polls, a serious bounce back for Obama seems unlikely at this point. Obama must hope that the debates go in his and Senator Biden’s favor to atleast gain a little momentum.

Now, this isn’t over at all and I am not saying Senator McCain has won the election. What I am saying is that this election has been in Obama’s favor for essentially the entire time since he’s won his party’s nomination. But this late into the election haul, he is losing the momentum. The debates will play a huge part in determining where the polls go from here.

President George W. Bush’s approval rating went up 1 point in August and it has been on a constant increase over the last two months, after reaching its all time low in June. According to the Rasmussen polls, President Bush’s approval rating for the month of August is at a 34 % approval rating. On the other hand, 63% of those polled disapprove of the President’s job.

President Bush not being in the news everyday may be helping his rating. With the media’s concentration of the election, Bush is pretty much out of the public spotlight from day to day. The ever so increasing approval rating may also be helping the Senator from Arizona John McCain as well. If more and more people begin liking a little bit what George Bush is doing in the White House, then maybe they will be able to trust McCain more. However, 34% may be the high point for the Bush Administration in its last couple months in office.
However, it does make a Bush fan like Metz and myself very happy when he gets some of the good things that is coming to him, like a high approval rating. Atleast, that’s what I think. I believe he is one of the best Presidents we have had and I like him a lot. But this may very well help McCain in the end, as the polls come out next week.

John McCain’s Acceptance Speech was no home run, but he came in down the stretch when it mattered. This is the final 2:00 of John McCain’s speech last night. I don’t care if your a Republican or Democrat, Liberal or Conservative, or White or Black; this came straight from John McCain’s heart to America. It was the best moment of any speech from either convention this year, in 2004, and many years before that. And now I present you with “Stand Up” by John McCain. Enjoy!

John McCain…. “Stand Up”

Senator John McCain (R) from Arizona officially accepted the GOP’s nomination of him at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night. McCain was preceded by his wife, Cindy McCain, and was extremely well accepted by his Republican peers.

McCain stressed that things like education, health care, and taxes would be drastically different between himself and his opponent, Illinois Senator Barack Obama. McCain isn’t the greatest orator in the world, but he was extremely powerful and thoughtful in his words. He even told his POW story as it had never been told before, in a way that made him start loving America and appreciating her more as a prisoner of war. McCain struck the right cords, at least with this conservative voter. The ending was especially powerful, telling citizens to stand up and believe in what’s right. It really did give me goosebumps.

I would give this speech a solid A-. McCain was distracted a bit when a woman associated with the CodePink organization interrupted him but quickly regained his balance with a jab at the woman. He seemed confident, strong and assured that what he was speaking was the truth. He also made his case for independents, saying why he is the best choice for the people who are still undecided.

Overall, an excellent speech by the official Republican nominee John McCain. The REAL campaigning is about to begin and the gloves are officially come off. I expect that when the new polls come out next week, John McCain will be up on Barack Obama. And I honestly don’t believe he will relinquish that lead.
