Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Ankarlo expresses his disappointment in America. Disappointment that we can’t find answers to questions about Obama. If you ask questions you are labeled a racist or they just laugh. But, what about Obama’s associations with Rev. Wright, Frank Marshall Davis, Rashid Khaldi, Tony Rezko, William Ayers, Raili Odinga and ACORN?

Ankarlo talks to Tom McArdle from Investor’s Business Daily about socialim in America.

Also, Steve Voeller from the Arizona Free Enterprise Club supports Prop 105, majority rule. John Wright from the AEA is opposed to it.

Ankarlo takes your calls today and talks about your topics.

Tax man Coming For All.

According to the latest from Joe Biden it looks like the rich in America has gone from $250,000 to $150,000.  Some could call this a slippery slope to hedge all bets on increased taxation.  Now, that it has inched a little closer to you are you concerned?  No?  Oh, because you don’t make the $150,000.  I get it.  What happens when it moves to a hundred, or seventy five thousand or less?  Can’t happen?  It’s the government and her politicians so anything and everything is possible. 

Meanwhile, Barack Obama is now hinting that minimum wage should shoot up by at least another 2 bucks an hour—to over nine and a quarter—per hour.  “Excellent” some say, that means more money for people who need it.  Nope.  It means employers fire employees and leave those remaining to do twice the work.  Regardless of your political affiliations can we please agree on one thing—we’ve got a broken system in need of a fundamental overhaul and no one is offering the new ideas to fix it.

Ankarlo’s Take is written for broadcast.  You can hear it during Arizona’s Morning News at 7:20 on News/Talk 92.3 KTAR.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Illegal immigration comes roaring back to the center again as another Phoenix police officer was killed in the line of duty by an illegal immigrant. This time, the driver was drunk when he slammed into the police car. Ankarlo reacts and is joined by Phoenix Law Enforcement Association President Mark Spencer.

Ankarlo also welcomes Armand Peschard to the show to talk about the Mexican drug violence ready to spill over the US border.

And why is it okay to be a sexist, but not acceptable to be a racist?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: So the GOP spent $150,000 on Gov. Sarah Palin’s clothes. Campbell Brown from CNN was the first to defend her saying women have to buy clothes and wear makeup in today’s world.

Also, a Christian group is promoting a website called christian nympho. You know porn is out of control when Christians start promoting it.

Fritz Wenzel joins Ankarlo on a Red V. Blue Thursday with new poll numbers showing Obama is up by 12%.

$150,000 blunder.

I was surprised by the number of callers and e-mailers who believe the Republican’s $150,000 clothing spree for Sarah Palin was a wise and prudent decision.  Look, I like the lady—I like so many things she says she stands for but I didn’t lose my brain in the process, wrong is wrong.  People argued that she has to change clothes, be fresh, and be a trendsetter and the list goes on.  No matter how you shape the argument, $150,000, for 90 days in the spotlight shows out-of-whack thinking.  One writer explained that the dresses would be auctioned at charity for three times the amount—which is a good point and another example of why the cash outlay was bad.  The lady is wearing more than I paid for my first two houses—combined and when we make excuses for it—it proves it’s not just the politicians who are messed up.  It proves we are too.Ankarlo’s Take is written for broadcast.  You can hear it during Arizona’s Morning News at 7:20 on News/Talk 92.3 KTAR.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Ankarlo talks to Democrats this morning about the Colin Powell’s endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama. Does it matter? In the long run no, but it does add an interesting dynamic to the race. Several callers said this is an example of bipartisanship. But, is it really? Ankarlo wasn’t surprised by the endorsement, adding that Obama is a flip flopper for seeking out Powell’s nod. Why? Powell helped lead the country into the Iraq War and Obama called it a “dumb war.”

Several states are also looking at laws that would make private insurance companies cover therapy for children with autism. Is this just another example of spreading the wealth?

Gov. Sarah Palin made an appearance on Saturday Night Live. Funny stuff. Also, Joe the plumber is Ankarlo’s picture of America. When he thinks of America, this is the image that pops into his mind.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Ankarlo covers the final Presidential debate. Thankfully, in three weeks it will be all over. It was an actual debate with moderator Bob Schieffer staying out of the way. Both McCain and Obama scored some points last night.

Ankarlo talks to Fritz Wenzel from Zogby. Their daily tracking numbers show Obama with a five point lead, but he still hasn’t closed the deal yet.

The show also spends a lot of time on a CH 5 investigative story which reporter Morgan Loew shows video of an inmate being killed in jail. Loew has some questions about the prison guard’s response. It took them twenty minutes to respond. He joins Ankarlo. So does Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lisa Allen and Chief of Custody Jerry Sheridan.

October 15, 2008

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: A lawyer is suing Obama in a Pennsylvania court saying he is not a US citizen. Ankarlo wonders if this is even worthy of discussion since the Obama campaign has released his birth certificate.

Also, today Pacman Jones has been suspended by the NFL after he latest trouble. Ankarlo says how many chances can you give someone? Diane says Pacman will change when he hits rock bottom. It appears he hasn’t hit the bottom rock yet.

Other topics on today’s show: Foreclosures and their effects on the neighbors and The Flat tax.

Obama’s Tax Welfare.

Senator Barack Obama has been up by 11 national points over Senator John McCain though in the past few days the sometimes Republican’s numbers are within striking distance.  So, tonight, if McCain has any hope for the White House he needs to dismantle Obama’s flaws—especially the ones that give him a huge lead where it’s not warranted—on the economy.  Obama’s plan sounds great, “when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” No doubt it will attract votes, but it is unworkable. 

34 to 46 percent of Americans don’t pay taxes so for 95% to get a tax cut means 1) the math is tragic and 2) a whole bunch of people, mostly small business owners, will be carrying more of the weight—and a lot of freeloaders will get yearly checks just for being American.  “I want to provide a tax cut for 95% of Americans.”  Yep, that’s Obama clearly explaining his plan—spread the wealth around.  Would someone please explain how the government ever has the right to get into my checkbook and give my money to other people.  Mr. McCain, if you want a fighting chance—would you please make this point?Ankarlo’s Take is written for broadcast.  You can hear it each morning at 7:20 during Arizona’s  Morning News on News/Talk 92.3 KTAR.
