I am a Proud Conservative Liberal Republican!

Sen. John McCain
John McCain you’ve just won the Republican Nomination for President of the United States. What are you going to do now?

Sen. McCain’s response: I’m a proud Conservative Liberal Republican and I’m going to conduct a spirited but respectful campaign for the presidency of the United States!

Oxymoronic, Freudian or simply Moronic? Naw none of the above, it’s just the inscrutable, out of touch but straight-talking John McCain. Who is going to attempt to run an 1850’s campaign in a 21st Century world according to the Democrat National Committee Chairman, Howard Dean. Really Dean said that McCain talks like he’s in the 1850’s and Dean just may have a point.

One thing about a John McCain candidacy now that he’s clinched the Republican nomination, it will offer Conservatives plenty of, “I told you so!” moments.

What Conservatives have been saying is, what is needed for the Republican Party is someone who is willing to fight and advocate for Conservative values. Not someone who has a loving Stockholm syndrome relationship with their al Qaeda captors the Democrats.

Nonetheless the elite of the Republican Party in their wisdom, who are neither Conservative, nor advocates for Conservatism or fighters for Conservative values brought forth a conciliatory politically confused candidate whose idea of a campaign is a "dispirited or a spirited campaign" (McCain’s words not mine) that will be honored by his opponents like Danny Pearl’s humanity was honored by his Muslim captors.

Already DNC Chairman Howard Dean has begun to place road bombs at the feet of a Rodney King like John McCain who wishes that we just all get along.

Dean assaulted McCain much vaulted integrity with this barb: "Here's a guy who's a typical situational ethicist. He runs on his integrity, but he doesn't seem to have any,"

According to the Georgetown Voice, Dean has already attacked McCain’s age and looks when he said, with a woman and an African-American as the two front-runners, the Democratic field “looks like America,” while the all-white male Republican field (just McCain now) “looks like the 1950s and talks like the 1850s.” Believe me, we haven’t heard or seen the half of Democrat disdain for Republicans in this campaign. Not by a long shot!


Yet McCain feels that he can offer a positive respectful debate and win the Presidency in spite of the virtual negative 8 year assault on the Bush administration which has brought the President’s polling numbers down to a historical low. Good luck with that Senator!

It will take a miracle to withstand the assaults of the Leftwing without a combination of defense and offense in your campaign Sen. McCain. Sorry to break the news to you Senator but nice guys finish with historically low polling numbers and high public disapproval ratings. Just look at our President.

But maybe Sen. McCain has actually done it. After all he did find a title that will beat George Bush’s title of “Compassionate Conservative” hands down and in doing so maybe he has insulated himself from the Democrat hatemongering that we have come to expect from the left!

Senator McCain said that he is a “proud Conservative Liberal Republican!” Well that’s what he said. I’m not making this up! And hey I like it. It’s got that proud thing going on just like the homosexuals use. It’s kind of like Sen. McCain is coming out or something! Take a look:



Most conservatives thought that McCain was a closet liberal anyways so now we know. You go Senator! I’m digging it man I can see the bumper stickers now, Vote McCain: A proud Conservative Liberal Republican!

I think it’s absolutely brilliant! Sen. McCain can be all things to all people, He can be proud for the Homosexuals, he can be Conservative (but not too much so not to offend everyone else) for the Conservatives, he can be Liberal for the Liberals and he can be Republican for the Republicans.

The only thing better would be for him to be a Proud Conservative Liberal Republican Democrat! (Maybe that’s next!)

Senator McCain’s new designation is a kind of Universal Unitarian-Hindu religious Political experience that transcends the artificial barriers of partisan party politics. McCain could be a Democrat for the Democrats, a Liberal for the Liberals, etc, etc, etc. Hey, he could be a virtual political Gandhi G. Like Mohandas K. Gandhi was for India.

Looking at his latest legislation McCain has already reached proud conservative liberal republican Nirvana with his mixture of political yen and yang. Better known as McCain-Kennedy and McCain-Feingold to name a few of his proud conservative liberal accomplishments. Maybe capitulations such as these will be enough to keep the haters of Republicans like Howard Dean at bay. (Though I doubt it.)

Who would have thought that it would be John McCain instead of Barack Obama bringing a divided country together?

Come on it has to be McCain you can’t even name one piece of legislation that Obama has passed that is even close to McCain-Kennedy and McCain-Feingold in its reaching out to Republicans like McCain has done to reach out to Democrats.

Come on you might as well admit it McCain is the uniter! Go on you can say it.
Maybe the Senator can work that designation into a future speech or when he accepts his Party’s nomination at the Republican National convention September 1-4 in Minneapolis, Saint Paul

I can see him up on that podium now, “Friends, let me just say that I am a proud conservative liberal republican democrat!” And we are going to have a nice cordial and respectful debate with my friends in the other Party. Although they have sworn their hatred for Republicans and have vowed to destroy everything that Republicans stand for, I’m sure that we can find some common ground!”


Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, I think, puts in all in perspective when he says that the Republican candidate will not win attempting to be an all-most Liberal Republican without turning off people who will simply stay home. (See below)



Gingrich predicts that if McCain and Republicans continue on this “Proud Conservative Liberal Republican track Republicans will lose in November.

Well if McCain does lose at least we won’t have to stomach Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina being appointed to McCain’s cabinet or some other significant political post!

A Political Lesson!

A young woman was about to finish her first year of
college. Like so many others her age, she considered
herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other
liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes
to support more government programs, in other words
redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather
staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed.
Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and
the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her
father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to
keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition
to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more
government programs. The self-professed objectivity
proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she
indicated so to her father.

He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had
a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain,
insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load
and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go
out and party like other people she knew.

She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really
have many college friends because she spent all her time
studying. Her father listened and then asked, How is your
friend Audrey doing? She replied, Audrey is barely getting
by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and
she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus;
college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the
parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for
classes because she's too hung over.

Her wise father asked his daughter, why don't you go to
the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA
and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you
will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a
fair and equal distribution of GPA. The daughter, visibly
shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back,
'That's a crazy idea. How would that be fair? I've worked
really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and
a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing
toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, 'Welcome
to the Republican Party'.

Whoever wrote this, deserves a big round of applause.
Maybe if some of these "hot-shot" college rookies,
who are backing Obama, took a closer look at his policies,
they might get the point!

Momentum and Ginsu Politics

Sen. Clinton and Amy Poehler of SNL

"in the last several ... I seem to get the first question all the time. And I don't mind. I -- you know, I'll be happy to field them, but I do find it curious, and if anybody saw Saturday Night Live, you know, maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow.

I just find it kind of curious that I keep getting the first question on all of these issues. But I'm happy to answer it."—Sen. Hillary Clinton, MSNBC Ohio Debate 2008

The truth was she wasn’t happy about the way her campaign was going nor was she happy with the media coverage so with this one masterfully laid criticism Sen. Clinton was able to flip the script on the media and Sen. Obama. Sen. Clinton changed the national dialogue from exulting Sen. Obama to poor Hillary can’t catch a break.

Based on the subtle but insidious critique that the media had been soft on Sen. Obama but hard on her, Sen. Clinton was able to sic the media attack dogs on Sen. Obama, making the last couple of days his worst, while she laughed it up on SNL and on the Jon Stewart show. Thusly turning the momentum in her favor.

Sen. Clinton pointed out a perceived injustice against her, “the boys piling up on her again” but this time it was the media piling up on her and her point was that it was so blatant that even SNL had seen it and spoofed it.

Sen. Obama could have been cut with a Ginsu knife and not known he was cut (until he saw the bleeding) because that is exactly the effect that Sen. Clinton’s complaint had with voting Liberals and Democrats.

Obama didn’t even realize that he was bleeding until he lost Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island last night.

Momentum’s a funny thing. Though you don’t really see it when it begins to change, you can see it’s after effects but only when its much too late to do anything about it.

Seizing the momentum Sen. Clinton went on to appear on SNL before the March 4 primaries to further emphasize her allegations of the media unfairness towards her and alleged favoritism of Sen. Obama. SNL was only too happy to oblige. (See below)



And then as a coup de grâce Sen. Clinton made an appearance on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart just before the voting. (see below)



Again Sen. Clinton made the point that she was somehow being treated unfairly. The result?

Sen. Obama is just now realizing that he has been cut and that he’s losing momentum fast!

Will Texas be Sen. Hillary Clinton’s Alamo?

The Alamo in San Antonio and The Texas State Capitol in Austin

"If she wins Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee. If you don't deliver for her, I don't think she can be. It's all on you,"—Bill Clinton in Texas

It happened just before daybreak on the morning of March 6, 1836 as Mexican soldiers advanced on Misión San Antonio de Valero.

You undoubtedly know the mission as the Alamo where Texans famously took a last stand against General Antonio López de Santa Anna's Mexican army.

William B. Travis, Jim Bowie, David Crockett will long be associated with that heroic struggle against impossible odds.

On Tuesday March 4, 2008 today in Texas Sen. Hillary Clinton is said to be face with her last stand. According to everyone including the former president Bill Clinton if Senator Clinton doesn’t win Texas the end of her campaign would be inevitable.

It’s ironic but not impossible to understand how a media made candidate of politically correct inevitability suddenly lost her luster after she was exposed to harsh light of reality.

Sure the fairly tale of the first woman candidate for the presidency is a good storyline but in reality Sen. Clinton is not the first woman to run for the office so the liberal doctors of spin remade her into the first viable woman to be a candidate for the presidency which immediately denigrates all of the 32 or so other women that ran for president before her.

But denigrating is not something new to Sen. Clinton she has made a career of denigrating people explicitly and especially George W. Bush, Republicans, The vast rightwing conspiracy, women who had affairs with Bill Clinton and now her Democrat opponent Barack Obama. She has denigrated one and all.

It's Sen. Obama's turn and Sen. Clinton claims that Sen. Obama, who is reported to have the most liberal record in the Senate, has campaigned against her by playing right out of the Karl Rove’s Republican political play book, also she has intimated that Sen. Obama gives aid and abets the vast rightwing conservative movement, which by the way is out to get Sen. Clinton and her husband the former president.

When Sen. Clinton cares to denigrate the most she will normally use that fowl 10 letter word, R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C-A-N. Now that is not only politically paranoid but divisive and wrong! Wrong because what this country needs at this time is someone to bring us together not someone who insists on continuing to stab at the unhealed wounds of the 60's,70's,80's and 90's.

All of which begs the question, why would women chose this hyper-Partisan and obviously under qualified political opportunist to pin their hopes and aspirations on, desperation? Do women really think that there will never be a qualified woman to lead this nation ever, so they'll just settle for anything or anyone?

Even the equally hyper-Partisan Liberal commentator Eleanor Clift who never sees anything objectively regarding Republicans demonstrated a rare truthful moment when assessing the Clinton campaign in her piece Day of Reckoning:

The much vaunted Clinton campaign operation, billed as the biggest, baddest game in town, had no post-Super Tuesday strategy because its leaders apparently didn't think one was needed. Whether that's due to arrogance or ignorance, it's the campaign equivalent of what President Bush did in invading Iraq without a post-Saddam plan.

The primaries are in a very true sense a practice run for the White House, and if you emerge with high marks, as Obama has, it's a pretty clear statement of the kind of government you would run. Obama has shown a steadiness in demeanor and message. Clinton has blown through $120 million dollars, and her persona is more confused than ever.

A USA Today cartoon captures the shifting moods with a political weather map and a "Five-day Hillary Forecast: Monday…Friendly; Tuesday…On the attack; Wednesday…Complimentary; Thursday…Hostile; Friday…Conciliatory."—Eleanor Clift

If hyper-Partisans like Clift are now fault finding, the Clinton campaign may well be in its last throes.

Or take Emma Brockes’ assessments of Senator Clinton’s misfortunes:

There are purely practical reasons why she is behind - lack of organisation after super-Tuesday, money shortages, the complacency of the campaign in its early stages - but it's the cultural reasons that really get people going. "Regardless of what she does, it's portrayed as calculated, contrived," says Sue Carroll, a senior scholar at the Centre For American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.-- Emma Brockes

Oh so now even the Libs are seeing what I warned about in September 2007 when I cautioned that Hillary Clinton was the Darth Vader of the Clinton administration. A cold calculating political manipulator that puts Dick Cheney to shame by far!

Oh yeah you’re being punked you gotta know that. When Hillary Clinton was in the Whitehouse she was to Bill Clinton what Dick Cheney is to George Bush. Hillary was the Darth Vader of the Clinton administration.

She was behind the destroyed Rose law billings, she was behind the travelgate firings, and she was behind filegate. All political scandals yet her role in them was always unclear. Ergo she was the Dick Cheney of the Clinton administration.

And the reason that you are so willing to let her back into the Whitehouse is that you’ve been duped, tricked, played, or punked by an elaborate roost which is only meant to confuse language and meaning so that the Clintons and the Democrats can get what they want. It’s really a work of diabolical beauty here’s how it works.—Alaphiah

If the people of Texas and Ohio really want change and are tired of the status quo today may be the end of the so called Bush Clinton dynasty of politics and the beginning of the 21st Century where we turn the page on the politics of personal destruction and hyper-partisanship.

Those things should be relegated to the Clinton library along with the hundreds of Sen. Clinton’s first lady documents that we will never get to see.

A loss in either Texas and/or Ohio may not be enough to put Sen. Clinton in the rearview mirror because of her stranglehold on Super delegates but a loss in either or both will go a long way in making her last stand inevitability undeniable at last.

SHE PLAYS ON OUR FEARS!

Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. listens to undecided voters at a cafe in Portsmouth, N.H. in this Monday, Jan. 7, 2008 file photo(AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File)

"We've had a red phone moment. It was the decision to invade Iraq. And Senator Clinton gave the wrong answer.”—Senator Barack Obama

Tested and Ready?

Senator Hillary Clinton has been first Lady of Arkansas and first Lady of the United States of America which one of these non-elected, non-political designations gives her the ability to answer the emergency “red” phone in the Whitehouse?

This ad is so ridiculous that it makes “Saturday Night Live” look like the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. (which may be as ridiculous as SNL)

Another Frat boy plan of the Clinton campaign that has gone terribly awry! What was the Clinton campaign thinking just after introducing the “Picture”? A picture of Sen. Obama in what was an obvious attempt to invoke a 1000 words of innuendo, and to link Obama with some urban legend myth that he is a closet Muslim.

That coupled with what Republicans recently unleashed which Michele Obama characterized as the ultimate fear bomb, “Hussein” Sen. Obama’s middle name, the fear mongers are out in full strength.

If stunts like this ad are indicative of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s experience and judgment then that makes it a foregone conclusion that Sen. Clinton didn’t learn an awful lot about the American people or how to govern in her stint in the White house as first Lady.

As Senator Obama so adroitly states, "The question is not about picking up the phone. The question is: What kind of judgment will you make when you answer?"

This is one time that I agree with former president Bill Clinton when he said in his 1992 campaign for Governor of Arkansas,

``This election is a race between hope and fear, between division and community, between responsibility and blame, between whether we have the courage to change, to stay young forever, or whether we stay with the comfort of the status quo."—Bill Clinton 1992 Arkanas gubernatorial Campaign

Only this time it’s the Clinton’s who are on the side of fear and status quo!

Oh! And here’s a Clinton law of politics told by none other than Bill Clinton himself.

Global Warming has been Wiped Out

All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously. .—Michael Asher

Put away all your plans to raise a Global tax United Nations. Stop all of the Global initiatives to stop Global warming Greens. Stop all of the Global warming legislation and Stop all of the Global warming re-Education. Global warming is no more.

All of your anthropogenic global warming theories and all of your CO2 conjecture all wrong. Over the past year, China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

All of the events that I just mentioned are impossible under the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Under that theory CO2 is supposed to trap heat in the atmosphere by a green house effect creating a no escape condition for heat thereby causing the planet to get hotter and hotter until Earth’s temperature reaches critical mass and burn the earth to a crisp and melt the ice caps raise water levels, creating famines and drought world-wide.

The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.—Michael Asher

Scientists now say that in one year’s time one century of warming has been wiped out. The argument is over. Everyone who has promoted the theory of Global warming was and is terribly wrong.



Graph shows warming trend drop

So please return the Nobel Peace Prize, the Oscar and all other phony awards and acknowledgements that were meant to prop up the unscientific arguments supporting the earth’s warming. Return all of the grant moneys and Government funding.

Please issue the appropriate reports and apologizes to the world’s peoples for the false and misleading culture which has grown up around the false claims of anthropogenic global warming.

Barack BS!

If McCain ever uttered a truer phrase, I haven't heard it yet. He said, as an obvious swipe at Obama, that you need more than "Eloquent speeches full of empty rhetoric"!

Barack would have the young, foolish and inexperienced, believe that he is a "uniter", much as George Bush claimed. But............ Bush actually did make great progress in crossing the aisle, whereas Obama is just so much hot air.

He claims that he has bridged the partisan gap, and cooperated with Repubicans on legislation. Well, it only takes one peek at the record (Records are something that most politicians hate, because they ultimately come back to bite the public servent on the ass!) to see that Obama is lying through his teeth. He has only "cooperated" on several very high-profile bills that he believed would help his career. On all the rest, he was an obstacle of greater proportion than Ted Kennedy.

He really believes that he can dupe the first-time voters, who sincerely believe that he will bring change............... regardless of the fact that he doesn't stand a chance in hell of following through on that promise...... and he knows it. By the time he finishes making enemies of the Clintons and their closest associates and backers, and if he succeeds in becoming the Democratic candidate for president, he would be starting off behind the eight-ball. Add to that, the Right side of the aisle, and we have a totally impotent president.

As an intelligent man once said............... "be careful what you wish for............. you might just get it"!

Tim Russert, McCarthyism and Yellow Journalism

Tim Russert
Two things about being Meet the Press’ Tim Russert. One, you don’t have to report the news if you’re Tim Russert, you can make it up as you go along, sort of like former CBS reporter Dan Rather. And the other thing is, you don’t have to connect the dots in a story you simply make more and more dots and when there are more dots than anyone can count you just pretend that the dots are connected.

That’s the McCarthyism and Yellow Journalism that Mr. Russert performed on Sen. Barack Obama with two questions that were of the, “Do you still beat your wife,” variety.

Russert with his penchant for the gotta sensational interview went overboard at the Democrat’s debate held in Ohio two days ago with his McCarthyite and Yellow Journalistic type tactics.

With two craftily configured questions Mr. Russert attempted to impugn the character of Sen. Obama by intimating that Sen. Obama was a man who would go back on his word and secondly Mr. Russert implied by association that Sen. Obama was a racist Jew hater.

A liar and a Jew hater both sensational and damning charges that could end a campaign or a political career like the blacklist of the McCarthy era that ended many a Hollywood entertainer’s career. A liar and a Jew hater, both allegations were the thrust of Russert’s two pronged assault on decent journalism and Sen. Barack Obama a decent man.

Both veiled charges contrived in the mind of Russert and devoid of the facts and void of true journalist integrity.

Both questions were attempts to leave a negative impression in the minds of voters about the Illinois Senator and presidential hopeful.

And at least one question Russert already knew the answer to; the other question one would think he should have known the answer.

First Russert posed this question;

Senator Obama, let me ask you about motivating, inspiring, keeping your word.

Nothing more important.

Last year you said if you were the nominee you would opt for public financing in the general election of the campaign; try to get some of the money out. You checked "Yes" on a questionnaire. And now Senator McCain has said, calling your bluff, let's do it.

You seem to be waffling, saying, well, if we can work on an arrangement here.

Why won't you keep your word in writing that you made to abide by public financing of the fall election?

On a questionnaire, The Midwest Democracy Network Presidential Candidate Questionnaire (see here) Sen. Obama checked “YES” to this question; “Question I-B: If you are nominated for President in 2008 and your major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign, will you participate in the presidential public financing system?” and Sen. Obama wrote this response;

In February 2007, I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of the public financing system in the 2008 election. My plan requires both major party candidates to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public financing system for the general election.

My proposal followed announcements by some presidential candidates that they would forgo public financing so they could raise unlimited funds in the general election.

The Federal Election Commission ruled the proposal legal, and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has already pledged to accept this fundraising pledge. If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.

Sen. Obama answered Mr. Russert;

Tim, I am not yet the nominee. Now, what I've said is, is that when I am the nominee, if I am the nominee -- because we've still got a bunch of contests left and Senator Clinton's a pretty tough opponent. If I am the nominee, then I will sit down with John McCain and make sure that we have a system that is fair for both sides

Russert responded by; “So you may opt out of public financing. You may break your word.” Russert still ever attempting to create the illusion that there was something wrong.

SEN. OBAMA again responded,

“What I -- what I have said is, at the point where I'm the nominee, at the point where it's appropriate, I will sit down with John McCain and make sure that we have a system that works for everybody.”

Shortly after in a post debate interview Mr. Russert acknowledged that he knew what Sen. Obama had written on the questionnaire (Russert had a copy of it) that if he (Obama) were the nominee he would sit down and negotiate with the Republican nominee and he (Russert) thought that Sen. Obama would simply have referred to the questionnaire.

Therefore Mr. Russert’s whole line of questioning purposely misrepresenting Sen. Obama’s stated position and attempted to leave the impression in the voters’ minds that there was something going on that wasn’t.

Sen. Obama exact written words were, “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.” And that is what Sen. Obama repeatedly stated to Mr. Russert yet Russert attempted to sensationalize a John McCain accusation that Sen. Obama was going back on this word, but how could Sen. Obama be going back on his word, he’s not the Democrat nominee yet!

Sen. Obama’s point was that he can’t look pass Hillary Clinton. Sen. Obama is still locked in a battle with Sen. Clinton. Unlike John McCain, Sen. Obama’s competition didn’t just drop out of the race like Mitt Romney. So it would be presumptuous of Sen. Obama, at best, to engage Sen. McCain about general election financing as if he were the nominee now.

This whole line of Tim Russert questioning was ill contrived Yellow journalism.

Secondly Russert played the McCarthyite racism by association anti-Semitism card. Russert asked:

Senator Obama, one of the things in a campaign is that you have to react to unexpected developments.

On Sunday, the headline in your hometown paper, Chicago Tribune: "Louis Farrakhan Backs Obama for President at Nation of Islam Convention in Chicago." Do you accept the support of Louis Farrakhan?

What support? Russert is quoting a headline in a paper that claimed something. Russert did not offer one direct quote that Louis Farrakhan said, “I support Barack Obama.” Yet based on this innuendo Russert was able along with Sen. Clinton’s aid to exact a rejection and denunciation of Louis Farrakhan and Sen. Obama's Pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright from Sen. Obama.

Obama must feel like Peter who rejected and denounced Jesus Christ three times to people who want Jesus dead.

But notice how Russert did it, he raised the specter of Louis Farrakhan alleged anti-Semitism over the head of Sen. Obama by connecting Farrakhan’s alleged “backing” for Obama with Farrakhan’s past statements about Jews that have nothing to do with Obama running for President.

Then Russert introduced Obama’s pastors’ activities with Farrakhan as if either had anything to do with Obama. A whole lot of dots but none of them connected to Senator Obama.

Russert continued:

The title of one of your books, "Audacity of Hope," you acknowledge you got from a sermon from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the head of the Trinity United Church. He said that Louis Farrakhan "epitomizes greatness."

He said that he went to Libya in 1984 with Louis Farrakhan to visit with Moammar Gadhafi and that, when your political opponents found out about that, quote, "your Jewish support would dry up quicker than a snowball in Hell."

What do you do to assure Jewish-Americans that, whether it's Farrakhan's support or the activities of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, your pastor, you are consistent with issues regarding Israel and not in any way suggesting that Farrakhan epitomizes greatness?

This is a stunting example of McCarthyism. An indirect accusation that because Farrakhan is considered an anti-Semite by some people and Rev. Wright’s association with Farrakhan may be construed as anti-Semitic therefore Sen. Obama’s association with Rev. Wright and reported “backing” from Farrakhan by extension makes Sen. Obama guilty by association.

That type of thinking should send chills up the spines of Americans. Does anyone think about what a fascistly repressed country this would be if we demanded that everyone who got a positive remark by someone our opponents dislike, one would have to immediately disavow the person making that remark? For example, should Karl Rove have to reject and denounce Bill Clinton who had some positive words about him on Fox News?

But [Karl] Rove is good. And I honor him. I mean, I will say that. I've always been amused about how good he is, in a way.-- Bill Clinton, Fox News with Chris Wallace 9/24/2006

Tim Russert’s journalism is subtly accusatory and passively aggressively damning in general but what he demonstrated in the Democrat’s debates was more stridently McCarthyite and Yellow and wrong!

Multiple Personality Disorder?

Sens Obama and Clinton share a similar background

Have you been keeping up with the recent Democrat Presidential Nominee debates? I gotta tell you that last night’s MSNBC debate left me a bit puzzled.

After the debate in Texas where Sen. Clinton somewhat delicately acknowledged that she felt it such an honor to be on the same stage as Barack Obama and then in the span of 48 hrs Sen Clinton was spinning on a top raving with Obama flyer in hand challenging Obama to an all holds barred World Wrestling Federation Debate I thought, “There will be blood!” See here:



And here:

“So shame on you Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public. That is what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio . Let's have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign.”

“These attacks on what we tried to do the last time we went after universal health care is the worst kind of politics. Number one, it is wrong and untrue and number two it is exactly the talking points the health insurance industry used on a daily basis. Sen. Obama knows that it is not true that my plan forces people to buy insurance even if they cant afford it.”

“Time and time again you hear one thing in speeches and then you see a campaign that has the worst kind of tactics reminiscent of the same sort of Republican attacks on Democrats. Well I am here to say that it is not only wrong but it is undermining core Democratic principles.”

Blood? I viewed in and saw nothing of the kind. Oh they had their little lover spats over Health care and NAFTA but judging the way Hillary had called out Obama you would have thought that there was going to be some major Obama butt kicking going on. Instead we got the same tepid pattycake, tag you’re it, “that’s not what I said… Did too!” That we’ve always been getting.

But I must confess that recent events got me to wondering how can someone go from cordially gracious, to meet me Ohio for a fight and then placidly calm and seemingly rational in a 48 hr. span?

Then it occurred to me that what we are witnessing is Multiple Personality Disorder. MPD often occurs in the candidate of inevitability when she is losing her bid for the Presidency and is listening to a multitude of consultant’s advice on how best to present herself to the American people.

Be more tough, be more gentle, cry a little, etc. so you never know which personality that is going to show up when that candidate decides to present the face that this or that block of the constituency wants to see.

We have seen Sen. Clinton morph and transform into characters reminiscent of the movies “Sybil”, “The Three faces of Eve” to “Me, Myself & Irene” and frankly it’s scary.


There were no substantive or new developments in last nights debates other than the Tim Russert’s Louis Farrankan Obama got cha question and Sen. Clinton ever evolving change of character.

Sen. Clinton’s husband the former President, Bill Clinton offered this, “I can't make her younger, taller and male!”

Which is all true but it’s not for a want of trying!

EXPERIENCE

Sen. Hillary Clinton

"We're going to emphasize more and more the experience gap," Clinton told several hundred supporters who had paid at least $500 to attend a Boston fundraiser. "You'll hear a lot about it the next eight days." --BETH FOUHY quoting Sen. Hillary Clinton

Experience! With it one is supposed to be ready “on day one” to govern the free world in the office of the most powerful political executive position in the world, the Presidency of the United States of America.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is staking her political fortunes on that one word “experience.”

Sen. Clinton knows a lot about words, she just freshly scolded Sen. Barack Obama last week for allegedly using words that were not his own, words which he failed to give credit to the author for their use. Sen. Clinton accused Sen. Obama of Plagiarism.

Clearly Sen. Obama doesn’t have the experience that Sen. Clinton has or he would have never committed such a grave sin.

Speaking of experience Senator Clinton has a lot of it. She has been apart of her husband’s campaign for Governor of Arkansas, she has been apart of two of her husband’s campaigns for President of the United States and she has had two campaigns for the Senate seat which she currently holds as a Senator of New York.

Yep a lot of experiences no doubt, so please someone explain to me how someone whose primary argument for why she should be elected President of the United States is experience has mismanaged her own campaign to the point that she has virtually run it into the ground.

Out of money, time and seriously behind in a campaign which she attempted to project an air of inevitability now Sen. Clinton is attempting to reassure her financial backers that the 11 straight victories that her inexperienced Democrat upstart rival Barack Obama has claimed will be dealt with. Sen. Clinton even rolled out a new outlined road map and says she will follow it to beat Barack Obama in the Ohio and Texas primaries March 4. (I can’t wait!)

So why did the more experienced Sen. Clinton have to loan her cash strapped campaign $5 million dollars of her own money when her inexperience opponent has remained able to pay his bills?

Why did the more experienced Sen. Clinton have to change her campaign manager in midstream and why did the more experienced Sen. Clinton’s campaign staffers go unpaid this month?

Clinton campaign advisers -- including campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle -- have "voluntarily chosen to work without pay this month" as part of a "Clinton cash crunch" (This is despite the fact that campaign pollster Mark Penn's firm was paid $4.3 million by the campaign.)—The Huffingtonpost.com

Answer: a mismanaged campaign by the candidate of experience.

With bills and salaries going unpaid, Clinton admitted Wednesday she wrote out a $5 million check from her personal funds to cover some expenses and go forward in her neck-and-neck contest with the surging Barack Obama but the loan won't be enough to bail out the financially-strapped campaign.

Many staffers will work without pay this month and Capitol Hill Blue has learned that many vendors are demanding cash up front because of the campaign's overdue bills. –Capital Hill Blue

According to Times KAREN TUMULTY this is a campaign of mismanagement and miscalculation Clinton began this campaign like a coronation but soon discovered that there are only two inevitabilities in life, death and Democrats losing Presidential campaigns.

This is not the race that Clinton thought she would be running. Her campaign was built on inevitability, a haughty operation so confident it would have the nomination wrapped up by now that it didn't even put a field organization in place for the states that were to come after the megaprimary on Feb. 5. —Karen Tumulty

And then there was the extravagant spending, private chartered jets with the finest eats for the Press corps groupies, first class hotels and my those exorbitant consultant fees.

Sen. Clinton once stated that the country couldn’t afford all of her ideas apparently not even her campaign could afford all of her ideas.

"I have a million ideas. The country can't afford them all." —Sen. Hillary Clinton

Running a deficit in one’s campaign doesn’t bode well for someone who claims to have the experience to run American’s government. Quite a story here yet the main stream media has seemed to have missed it.

Yes, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton “would be” President of the United States of America. Senator Clinton who has denigrated President George Bush at every opportunity in every possible way for the way President Bush has conducted the country’s business, her own campaign is in disarray and out of money due to mistakes that apparently not even her less experienced opponent Sen. Obama would make nor has he!

Ironically, Sen. Clinton could not run the only thing that she has ever had the opportunity to run, her own presidential campaign, without running a deficit and totally mismanaging an election that was hers to lose. And she is losing it!

[Sen. Clinton’s] team of battle-tested veterans failed to plan for much of anything after Super Tuesday. We now know that the Clinton campaign blew so much of its cash on the February 5 multi-state primary that it had little left in the tank for what was to follow, forcing the candidate to loan herself $5m and spend valuable time last night on television trying to raise more.

So strongly did the Clinton campaign assume that Super Tuesday, with its 1,000-plus pledged delegates up for election in more than 20 states, would be the effective end of the nomination campaign that it failed to have a Plan B. –Richard Adams

Experience is supposed to be that needed insight, it is suppose to be that edge one needs to avoid the pratfalls of errand campaigns and misdeeds. Yet for Sen. Hillary Clinton, who is trying to sell America on her experience, experience didn’t help her run a smart campaign nor a winning campaign.

Neither has Sen. Clinton demonstrated to the American people that she would be ready “on day one” to lead a government as complex as the American government because she can’t even run the much smaller campaign to became president of the United States.
Even George W. Bush ran better campaigns for the presidency than the experienced Sen. Clinton.

The hubris, the utter ineptitude, the overspending, and the mismanagement of the Clinton campaign is not inductive of leadership and experience as Sen. Clinton has claimed, no this is a shameless amateurish bunch of rouge hack politicians who are rehashing the tactics of the 90’s in a 2008 campaign for the presidency.

If Hillary Clinton thinks that she will be ready on day one to be president a botched campaign is not a very reassuring to the American people that she is.

If Sen. Clinton’s campaign is what experience has to offer, then the fairy tale is looking more real to me than her claims of experience.

I’m thinking that real experience can be found between either the fairytale or the pseudo-Republican, and Sen. Clinton’s claim of experience?

Why, that has proven to be a farce just as fake and phony as the statement, “I did not have sex with that woman… Ms. Lewensky!”

Democrats have Failed

Michael Kensley


I’m attempting to understand the radical Liberal ideology that Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama represents. I’ve read and listened to countless arguments coming from the left trying to convince anyone who would listen that the surge is a failure and the war is lost.

Just recently another of these screeds was published written by Michael Kinsley in the LA Times. Kinsley is reduced to some technical nuanced connotative exploitation of the word surge. But in spite of his awkward and uneven parsing even Kinsley has to admit that the surge did in fact work. His point of departure is that by definition it did not work. Huh?

Let’s take a look at how this Liberal convolution all evolved; it began with Rep. John Murtha who swore on his congressional oath that the Iraq war was lost. So influential were his rantings that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority leader Harry Reid often parroted Rep. Murtha’s now discredited claims.

Then in a remarkable display of contempt for the truth Liberal Democrat ancillary group moveon.org pronounced in a discounted New York Times ad that the surge was a failure and that General Petraeus was a betrayer. All of this before they had heard one word of his schedule report on the progress in Iraq.

What followed In the Senate Armed Services Committee Hearings on Iraq was equally as outlandish. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton defamed the General and Ambassador Ryan Crocker intimating that they were nothing more than lackeys for the Bush administration and then she wryly stated that to believe the General’s positive report regarding Iraq required a suspension of disbelief. (See here)

So against all of the evidence to the contrary, I say okay lets assume that all of your Liberal arguments are correct and lets stipulate that the surge is a failure. And equally let’s agree (separate from the facts on the ground) that the war is lost as many Democrat leaders have assured us.

Now based on that logic I have a seemly new proposition for anyone who would be so incline to take me up on it, and that is, Liberalism has failed and the Democrat Party is an abysmal failure. Can you prove otherwise? Come on I dare you to show me where I’m wrong.

If I use just regular Liberal logic I have to conclude that Liberals and Democrats are the worst failures in political history, just look.

After over 40 years of controlling both houses of Congress Democrats lost control to their arch rivals the Republicans in 1994 who were led by Newt Gingrich. Gingrich told America that he intended to bring Conservativism back to government and Americans responded by sweeping Democrats out of power and for the first time in recent history voted both the Senate and the House to Republican control.

Next thing is Democrats attempted to regain the presidency after William Jefferson Clinton’s term in office but they lost to George W. Bush once in 2000 and again in 2004. Democrats are such failures that they couldn’t beat the worst President (according to them) in history. And no matter how you think President Bush gained office, if he was as dumb, stupid or pathetic as Democrats claim, how could he have beaten them twice unless for the fact that Democrats are totally incompetent failures themselves?

Then Democrats promised America that if they were restored to congressional power they would end the war and set the country in a new direction.

Democrats were restored to congressional power in 1996 yet they have failed miserably to end the war like they promised and they have failed to do anything about what they see as the country’s worsening condition. In fact the approval ratings for Congress are at an all time low. In comparison President Bush’s approval ratings are at an all time low too. But even Bush’s ratings are higher than that of a Democrat controlled Congress’ approval ratings which again are lower than an increasingly unpopular president Bush.

Congress has been termed the do nothing congress but even more so since the Democrats came into power. Do nothing because Democrat’s mean spirited partisanship has brought the institution that is responsible for doing the people’s business to a dead halt.

For going on twelve years Democrats have not been able to advance their socialist agenda as they have promised and have you noticed that Democrats are always fighting.

I fought for this bill or I fought for this program but the end result is that Democrats have failed to advance any meaningful liberal change in over 12 years.

So the next time some Liberal proclaims that the surge has failed or the war is lost take notice because no one knows failure like those who practice it on a daily basis.

And ask them do you think Democrats have failed? Only the intellectually honest and less than partisan would even entertain your question, the rest?

The rest would never admit under any circumstances that Liberal Democrats have failed and that they are failures! They reserve such rhetoric for their partisan war against the Republicans.

Now if they lose to John McCain then I guess they would not only confirm but they would prove my point now wouldn’t they!

CHANGE YOU CAN XEROX AND I CAN PLAGIARIZE BETTER THAN YOU

Sens. Obama and Clinton: Last Night’s Debate

Hillary Rodham Clinton accused presidential rival Barack Obama of political plagiarism Thursday night, but drew boos from a Democratic debate audience when she ridiculed him as the candidate of "change you can Xerox."—David Espo

The Clinton campaign went to great lengths to derail Barack Obama’s political juggernaut by leveling charges of plagiarism at him for weeks then ironically with the last word in a otherwise lackluster Democrat nomination debate, last night, Sen. Clinton plagiarized former Senator and former Democrat nominee hopeful John Edwards’ “We’re going to be fine” line to close out the debate. See for yourself:



Thus again proving that, “it’s just words” with the Clintons. They will do and say anything, for instance like trumping up false plagiarism charges in a campaign of personal destruction against a fellow Democrat and then do the very thing same thing that they so publicly and dramatically took offense at.

Somehow Senator Clinton I suspect that we may all be fine, but after Texas and Ohio and your campaign completely folds, as much as you want to be President, when you lose those two states you will not be fine.

Hey did anyone hear Sen. Clinton give Sen. Edwards credit for the line that she stole from him? ...I didn't think so!

Let’s finally turn the page on the Clintons after all nobody wants to fall backward into another Clinton administration!

Huckabee Reminds About First Principles

Republican Presidential Hopeful Gov. Mike Huckabee

“Republicans have decided that elections are a messy thing, and anointings and coronations are much better.”

It’s that kind of attitude that is going to be the death of the Republican Party in this country.”-- Governor Mike Huckabee

The Republican political establishment lost control of both houses of Congress in 2006 because they lost touch with conservative values and the conservative base.

Instead of learning from that rejection, and self correcting it’s path the political Republican establishment is leaning further away from its base by embracing those on its left, Lincoln Chaffe Republicans, who would rather caucus with Democrats than fight for Conservative ideas. These are the “Former Senators Walking” that have backed their colleague John McCain in a bloodless coup of the Republican Party making McCain the apparent successful Republican nominee.

Mitt Romney’s premature exit from the nomination process sent the message that most Republican officials believe that phony displays of unity are better than fighting to make sure we select the right man for the job.

Instead of Republicans avoiding the Bob Dole “it’s my turn” losing politics of 1996 where they lost to Bill Clinton. Republicans are once again engaging, in like manner, in John McCain “it’s my turn” politics of 2008.

Gov. Huckabee reminds us of the work that we must do to rid the Republican Party of those who believe that reaching across the aisles to work with Liberals means that we must leave our core principles behind in order to do so.

Reaching across the aisle should never mean that Republicans help Democrats block Conservative Judges like Republican Senator Arlen Specter has done in the past and it certainly doesn’t mean that Republicans co-author legislation that would give Illegal Aliens automatic Amnesty in conjunction with paying a fee to purchase U.S. citizenship.

Gov. Huckabee’s candidacy has not enjoyed broad Conservative support up until now, yet he has every right to be in and stay in this race. His presence is a reminder to us all that the big tent that Republicans were talking about several years ago has expanded to include more on the left but at the same time it has began to exclude its core, the right.

Gov. Huckabee says, “You alienate that strong base of the Party [Conservatives], and you’re going to find it very difficult to beat Democrats.”

Here’s hoping that Gov. Huckabee’s example is not just another lesson lost on a Republican Party in search of its soul. Which in my estimation is its core constituency, Conservatives!

The “Grey Lady” Drops Her Drawers!

Whether it was for cash, political belief, or
for sheer mendacity, the NYT has stooped
to the lowest level of "journalism", in recorded
history.

Not only do they bring up a 20-year-old scandal,
but they try to indict an already cleared Senator
McCain. They knowingly and intentionally
do their best to use innuendo and vague statements
to induce the reader to assume that McCain is
guilty of inappropriate behavior.

This is the lowest form of yellow journalism and
the NYT should be admonished for bringing it’s
already tarnished image, completely into the
gutter.

Talk about Plagiarism Let’s Talk Hillary’s 35 Years of Experience

Sen. Clinton wouldn’t plant a story would she?

"If your whole candidacy is about words, those words should be your own. That's what I think."—Sen. Hillary Clinton

Oh Boy! I’d like to be Sen. Obama for just one day and I’d have Sen. Clinton regretting the day that she had the audacity to raise plagiarism as an issue.

Because I’m thinking that if your whole candidacy is about experience that experience ought to be your own. What do you think about that Sen. Clinton? I’m also thinking that Sen. Obama ought to get off of the defensive and challenge Sen. Clinton’s experience meme again like he did earlier in the campaign and then we’d see who the plagiarist is.

Plagiarism is the stealing of another’s ideas as if they were your own.

Dictionary.com says plagiarism is:

1.

the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

2.

something used and represented in this manner.

Let’s focus on the second entry “something used and represent in this manner” and examine Sen. Clinton’s claims of 35 years of relative experience that qualifies her to be President of the United States and I think that the she bull that has been attempting to gore Sen. Obama over a speech that he made may just have to retract her horns.

Now as far I a know Sen. Clinton has never been President or Vice President so she couldn’t be claiming any direct personal experience now could she?

And aside from the denials that the Clinton campaign planted the issue of Sen. Obama committing plagiarism (it's got Clinton stamped all over it) we would not be discussing stealing words, ideas or work experience but it’s the politics of personal destruction yet again.

It makes a person wonder why would someone whose whole candidacy, no, whose whole career is based on her husband’s accomplishments or her husbands misdeeds why would such a person attempt to draw attention to anyone using someone else’s words and claiming them as their own when Sen. Clinton has been claiming her husbands political experience as Governor of Arkansas and President as her own and as the reason that voters should chose her for President.

You must remember Chris Matthews’ comments on the matter of Senator Clinton’s experience.

"[T]he reason she's a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around."—Chris Matthews on Senator Hillary Clinton

Sen. Clinton has claimed that her experience as first lady is apart of the experiences that qualify her to be President of the United States a claim which was challenged by Senator Obama initially.

"I think the fact of the matter is that Senator Clinton is claiming basically the entire eight years of the Clinton presidency as her own, except for the stuff that didn't work out, in which case she says she has nothing to do with it,"-- Sen. Barack Obama

Sens Obama and Edwards used this issue quite effectively early on in the campaign and though they differed on how best to exploit the significance of Sen. Clintons claims, they did bring attention to the fact Sen. Clinton experience was not what she claimed.

Senator Barack Obama's decision to challenge Hillary Clinton's claims of governing "experience" stemming from her days as first lady has split her two most aggressive challengers, with Obama suggesting she deserves meager credit for her husband's presidency and John Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, arguing she should be held accountable for its flaws. Sasha Issenberg

Slate’s Timothy Noah takes Sen. Clinton to task about her claims and issues a warning that Republicans will be able to dismantle Mrs. Clinton’s claim of plagiarized governmental experience.

Clinton's claim to superior experience isn't merely dishonest. It's also potentially dangerous should she become the nominee.

If Clinton continues to build her campaign on the dubious foundation of government experience, it shouldn't be very difficult for her GOP opponent to pull that edifice down.

That's especially true if a certain white-haired senator now serving his 25th year in Congress (four in the House and 21 in the Senate) wins the nomination.

McCain could easily make Hillary look like an absolute fraud who is no more truthful about her depth of government experience than she is about why her mother named her "Hillary." —>Timothy Noah

I don’t think that the Clinton campaign really thought this recent attack on Obama through it opens Sen. Clinton up once again to questions about what experience is really hers and what experience has been borrowed from her husband.

Sadly Senator Clinton has only had about eight years as an elected politician with very little accomplishments to speak of and no executive experience at all Sen. Obama has more than that! Yet by her count she has 35 years of experience which qualifies her to be President.

Here’s one place that I agree with an idea of Sen. Clinton’s, that is if someone is going to claim experience as the basis for their candidacy it should be their own experience not the experience that you’ve plagiarized from your spouse.

Enforce the Law and They Will Go

Marching in American Streets waving Mexican Flags

Who can forget the theme of the 1989 movie, Field of Dreams? "If you build it, he will come." That's the ethereal message that inspires Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield, according to Hal Erickson, MTV All Movie Guide.

But even more surreal than an ethereal message in a movie is what happened for real in the streets of major American cities throughout this country about 3 years ago.

I remember it as if it were only yesterday, when hundreds of thousands of foreign invaders marched the streets of America aided by American co-conspirators, flying the flags of their foreign home countries and demanded that the American government capitulate to their demands. No science fiction movie script could have been any stranger!

And then on the anniversary of that dreamlike and bizarre demonstration, one year to the day, they did it again only partially seeing the error of their tactics they replaced their foreign flags with American flags. As if wrapping themselves in the American flag would hide the reality that they were hundreds of thousands of foreign invaders marching for the second time though the streets of America making demands that they had no constitutional rights to make.

What these Illegal Aliens and their America compatriots did do was focus the attention of millions of American citizens on the fact that their government, the American government, was no longer functioning and doing the fundamental thing that it was designed to do. What that is, is to protect them and the constitution from all enemies whether foreign or domestic.

It became quite apparent that the President and certain Congress men and women were no longer acting in conjunction with their sworn oath to protect and defend the constitution.

It was also clear to most Americans that these individuals were acting under some unknown foreign influences. Yet where the Federal government would not and could not do its job it was left up to the people as it should be. And the people through their state governments began to do the job that the American Federal government, the President and Congress, could not or would not do.

And because of the people’s efforts Illegal aliens are leaving Arizonain spite of an Illegal alien friendly Senator John McCain, why?

Because the citizens of Arizona are doing the job that the American Government won’t do!

The citizens of Arizona have chosen to be a state of laws even though they live in a Nation of lawlessness governed by a President and Congressional men and women who support lawlessness.

Senator John McCain is such a Senator that supports the lawlessness of Mexican and other nationals, who illegally crossed American borders, steal American’s identities and exploit the American economy for the benefit of their foreign Countries and foreign families.

Since the Federal Government refuses to protect and defend the American people the state of Arizona minus their Senator that is running for President of the United States of America is restoring law and order to their individual state.

Arizonians are succeeding over the nay Sayers who say, “You can’t deport 12 million people, how are you going to deport that many people.” Arizona has shown that if a state simply enforces its laws illegal aliens will chose to self deport. Boy what a concept!

One asks for identification, and then penalizes employers who employ illegals and then arrest and deport people who break the law and consequently Illegals chose to leave on their own volition. (Now we see why the Federal government wouldn’t enforce the laws)

What is also interesting is the economic down turn is also playing a major part in Illegals’ decision to leave. Some Illegals find our economic problems and the devaluing of the dollar problems that they don’t wish to deal with so they simply leave and go home.

Just think about that for a moment if America was to face some major economic disaster not everyone here has America’s interest at heart some can pick up their belongings and go back to the country of their origin while the rest of us sink or swim.

That is the ultimate danger in allowing people who are not 100% invested in this country to siphon off its economic largess and then when the well runs dry so to speak or the when the country goes bankrupted (God forbid) they can just say, “Oh well” and go home!

Other returning immigrants cite a slowdown in the U.S. economy as a factor, and the falling value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies, which has eaten into the value of remittances sent to support families at home.

Aluisio Carvalho, 66, left a wife and four children behind in Brazil in 2001 when he set off to find work in Boston. Since then, he has managed to pay for the education of his children by working in a restaurant, but is now planning to leave himself in February
"Salaries are really low, and living costs are high. We also face too much exploitation at work here, too many demands," he said. --Tim Gaynor, Reuters

Yet protecting American jobs and the American economy is not a new concept it was done successfully by an America President who was beholden to no other interests but the Constitution and the American people

President Dwight D. Eisenhower solved the problem of illegal aliens and virtually stopped illegal immigration into the United States and the results of these efforts were felt for over 10 years in this country.
President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents - less than one-tenth of today's force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol.


How did President Eisenhower virtually stop the flow of illegal immigration into this country?

President Eisenhower hired the right people, he resisted powerful political and corporate interests, and he enforced the law.—Alaphiah

America can once again become a field of dreams but only if America once again becomes a Nation of laws. A Nation that honors its people first and above powerful political and corporate interests, a Nation of the people for the people and by the people is how it goes I do believe.

We ought to get back to that instead of catering to the special interests and corporate lobbies that have risen up like devouring beasts to consume the American dream like great hordes of American desert Locusts.

The first step back is to enforce the law. Thanks Arizona for showing the way!

There Will Be Chaos and Democrats will Bring It!

Sen. Clinton Campaigning
They always do!

All eyes will be on Denver Colorado this coming August 25-28 at the Democrat National Committee Convention to see if the Democrat Party will implode into a Black Hole of Chaos with Hillary Rodham Clinton and Howard Dean at it’s vortex trapping and sucking all of the hope and light from the Democrat Party into Clinton’s and Dean’s dense core of negativity and anti-rules.

Yes rules don’t seem to matter to Democrats not their own rules nor the rules or laws of the Country in which they live. If the DNCC is any indication of how Democrats will govern if they are granted power then no doubt there will be chaos if Democrats are elected, here’s why.

The Democratic National Committee sought to seize control of its unraveling nominating process yesterday[Friday, August 25, 2007], rejecting pleas from [Florida’s] state party leaders and cracking down on Florida for scheduling a Jan. 29 presidential primary.
The DNC's rules and bylaws committee, which enforces party rules, voted yesterday morning to strip Florida of all its [157] delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver -- the harshest penalty at its disposal. – Michael Shear

The DNC had hoped that the penalties imposed on Florida would be enough to detour any other state from scheduling this year’s presidential primaries before established DNC rules and times.

The DNC rules stipulate that states that have not been granted a special waiver must
schedule presidential nominating contests after Feb. 5.

"Rules are rules," said DNC member Garry S. Shays, of California, at the meeting. "California abided by them, and Florida should, as well. To ignore them would open the door to chaos."

Donna Brazile, a member of the rules committee who argued for a swift and harsh punishment for Florida, said states' desire to be more relevant in the nominating process does not excuse violations of rules intended to make the system fair for everyone. – CBS News

Yet the door was opened to chaos when in spite of the harsh ruling against Florida, Michigan decided that they would hold their Democrat primary January 15, 2008 before the February 5th date.

The DNC responded by first threatening the state Party but when the Party held it’s primary on the prohibited January date the DNC sanctioned the Michigan Democrat Party and ruled that the state Party’s 156 delegates would not be seated at the Democratic Convention as agreed to by National party officials of the DNC and all of the Democrat candidates running for president.

Attempting to comply with Party rules all Democrat candidates decided not to campaign in Florida and Michigan and some decided to withdraw their names from the Michigan ballots while some did not comply nor did they withdraw their names.

All the major Democratic candidates agreed not to campaign in either Michigan or Florida because those states violated party rules. And in Michigan, most of the major candidates will not even be on the ballot.

Democratic candidates John Edwards, Barack Obama, Bill Richardson and Joe Biden have withdrawn their names from the ballot to satisfy Iowa and New Hampshire, which were unhappy that Florida and Michigan was challenging their leadoff status on the primary calendar.—CBS News

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Dennis Kucinich, Chris Dodd, Mike Gravel left their names the Democratic ballot in Michigan which Sen. Clinton flew into Florida and Michigan and she won both virtual uncontested races.

Since Sen. Clinton is now running behind Sen. Obama in the delegate count and is losing the Democrat nomination the Clinton campaign is attempting to introduce chaos into the race and change the rules in midstream, rules that they agreed to, and they are threatening to sue to have Florida’s and Michigan’s delegates seated at the convention because Sen. Clinton won those two states even though everyone agreed that a win in those states, according to the rules, meant nothing!

RealClearPolitics.com projects the Democrat delegate count would be 1302 for Sen. Obama and 1235 for Sen. Clinton including the Democrat Superdelegates. Wisconsin and Hawaii will be voting tomorrow and Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont are scheduled to vote on March the 4th Michigan’s 156 and Florida’s 157 unseated delegates could be a factor in the outcome of this nomination.

313 delegates could give Senator Clinton the Democrat nomination which explains why the Clinton campaign is willing to throw the whole nomination process into chaos to seat delegates that by rule and mutual agreement should not be seated.

Harold Ickes, a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign who voted for Democratic Party rules that stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates, now is arguing against the very penalty he helped pass.

In a conference call Saturday, the longtime Democratic Party member contended the DNC should reconsider its tough sanctions on the two states, which held early contests in violation of party rules. He said millions of voters in Michigan and Florida would be otherwise disenfranchised - before acknowledging moments later that he had favored the sanctions. -- HOPE YEN

Here we go again, Al Gore 2000, Gore called then president elect George W. Bush on election night and concede the elect and was on his way to make his concession speech when someone in his campaign told him that he shouldn’t concede because Florida was to close to call.

That advice and Gore's subsequent actions set in motion the political chaos of loathing and bitterness between the Democrat and Republican Parties that we have today. And because of it we have what has been termed the Red state Blue state divide in this country.

Can we expect these continual acts of divisiveness from a Democrat administration or a partisan Democrat controlled Congress?

If Democrats can’t keep their own party rules then how can we expect them to keep our Nations laws? How are they going to enforce our borders?

What happens in Denver in August will tell America all we need to know about the way a Democrat administration would govern America.

And judging by the now apparent desperation if the Clinton campaign there will be chaos at the Democrat National Convention and the same is in store for America too if Democrats are elected to the Executive Office come November 2008.

I Can't Help But Laugh!!!!!!

This would be funny, except for the fact that it
is a pathetic situation.

Over the past two years or so, we've heard from the
Democratic Senators and Representatives, that
President Bush had an unacceptable approval
level of just 34%.

Well, lo and behold.............. according to the most
recent Rasmussen report, the lofty Congress itself
is enjoying a good year! Barely 15% of US citizens
feel that Congress is doing a passable job.
Forty six percent, think that their performance
stinks! By the way................ that's DOWN from
that horribly low 26% approval rating of just one
year ago.

Now doesn't that tell you a lot, about a Congress
that was going to fix everything that the Bush
administration "screwed up", and can barely tie
its own shoes?

What a shame! And to think, there are still
voters who are "considering" voting for Hillary
or Obama!

There will be No Truce and No Calming Down!

Donna Brazile, Democrat Party Leader

"If 795 of my colleagues decide this election, I will quit the Democratic Party. I feel very strongly about this," Donna Brazile told CNN this week.
Brazile, who managed Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000, is herself a super delegate. --ABC News

People who stand for Conservative principles are in short supply these days. When someone takes that strange stance, which used to be recognized as a stand on principles, most people are not sure how to take it.

For instance when Conservatives took a principled stand against John McCain a so-called Conservative who is in the mainstream of negotiating away Conservative values and principles most of the left collectively scratched their heads because it was puzzling to see people so unwilling to change their beliefs or so they say.

The Political Left believes that everything is transitory, negotiable, relative and progressively changing. You want change right? That being the case, it is not at all out of the realm of possibilities that though abortion is the law today that it just might be ban in the future. It really all depends on whether people change their minds about it. Right?

And then there’s homosexuality, homosexual relationships and the homosexual sex act could be ban too if enough people thought the latest fad was now heterosexuality and people began to believe that we were born that way, you know all straight and stuff.

Homosexuality would just become plain passé. Support for homosexuality could change too, now couldn’t it? And people would simply shun the act. Now that would be change. Wouldn’t it?

If you’re thinking no way, Roe vs. Wade must always remain law and homosexuals must always be permitted to do what they were born to do. After all what’s important is that two people love each other.

My question is then, what makes you any different than a Conservative that says marriage must always remain a relationship between a male and a female or that babies in their mother’s womb must always be protected.

The point is this Dr. James Dobson, Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Gene Beck, Laura Ingram and Sean Hannity all have been taking flack from the main stream media, Liberals and their allies because of their principled stand against Sen. John McCain. And by the way the Right doesn’t hate Sen. McCain. Hate for political opponents is the exclusive emotional response of Howard Dean Liberal Democrats!

What is so paradoxical in this whole situation is Sen. McCain has been lauded from the Left when he took various principle stands against Conservative ideas and against the Right. Such stances have earned Sen. McCain face time in the National media as the voice of Republicans when the same media would not dare ask any other Conservative the same questions given to McCain on a given subject.

So why does the Left get to stand on their principles plus get to lambaste the Right when the Right does the same thing?

Here’s an example, various Conservative leaders and radio/TV commentators have stated emphatically that if John McCain is the Republican Nominee they will not vote for him.

Ignorantly some from the right are calling for truces in the name of don’t worry about your principles just defeat the Democrats. McCain supporters are asking for calm so that the party can be unified around McCain. Both suggestions are out of the question! Why?

Because this whole bloody deal is about an Oligarchical take over of the Conservative Party without consulting with the people. A very small group of moderates to liberal Conservatives has decided that they know what is best for the Party and they are taking over the Party by bloodless coup.

That is what the McCain nomination is fundamentally about taking this Party in a different direction, the wrong direction.

Isn’t the irony of it all plainly seen? If Conservatives abandon their values or compromise to work with McCain on shared values then Conservatism is no better than its, transitory, negotiable, relative and progressively changing nemesis, Liberalism.

That is exactly what McCain has been working for he and those affiliated with and working with him are attempting to move Conservatives to the Left and according to McCain Conservatives are supposed to calm down while he pulls the pants down around the ankles of Conservatism, places Conservatism, hands tied, over the barrel of his apparent nomination and does the Sen. Larry Craig airport bathroom shuffle on the bent over Republican Party.

Yet, there will be no truce and there will be no calming down. If there were ever a time to fight this is that time.

Conservatives who are aware know what I’m saying is true.

McCain is the Liberal’s, destroy Conservatism, suicide bomber. Seemingly innocuous McCain is being placed where he can be detonated and do as much damage to the Party and its faithful as possible.

Anyone in hers or his right mind would waterboard McCain if given the chance, to make him confess his secret agenda.

This is not McCain derangement syndrome as some are mockingly referring to those who oppose John McCain. Those who oppose McCain have the evidence of long record of McCain counter Conservative insurgency to go on.

No this is a principled stance much like the stance Donna Brazile the long time Democrat and Al Gore supporter has recently taken. Ms. Brazile a dyed in the wool Democrat has promised emphatically that if Sen. Barack Obama is cheated out of his Party’s nomination by Superdelegate vote if the popular vote establishes him as the Democrat nominee, Ms Brazile has promised that she will leave the Democrat Party.

Now you could call that Hillary Clinton derangement syndrome or you could accept it for what it is.

A stand on principle in a time when everyone else considers such a stance archaic!

Like Ms. Brazile seems to believe there are some things worth fighting for and there are some principles worth leaving a Party for!

There Will be no Truce there will be no Calming Down!

McCaine Will Be President!

Since the Democratic party has been hijacked by the
far left.............. the liberals have been having a field day.

Their attack machines have done some damage to the
Bush administration, but much to their chagrin, he is
far from out...... as attested to by the fact that he is still
getting the legislation that he has fought for since 2000.

By pitting Obama against Hillary, they have once again
played the "race card", dividing the party. Nobody can
deny that........... even CNN, CNBC, NYT or any of the other
liberal MSM. Figures show that Obama has garnered
nearly all of the available "black vote". If it weren't for
color, he would probably never have advanced to where
he is today. This race is not supposed to be about color,
as we hear from black politicians, but they are the first
ones to back him because he is black.

After the bloodletting, the accusations, the "investigations"
and the revelations.......... both Obama and Clinton will be
ready for the garbage heap. And that's before the Republicans
even start on whichever one makes it through the fray.

Each day, it appears more and more, that Obama will be
the Democratic candidate for president. In the polls it
looks very impressive, but polls have been wrong before
............more often wrong than right. If I recall, Kerry
was going to 'steam-roll' over Bush in '04. I made
some money on that bet!

Pitting Obama...... a rookie Senator............ against McCaine,
with all his faults and warts,.......... there is no contest. The
hopeful "democratic candidate", who is the most liberal of
all the Senators in Congress, will galvanize moderate and
conservative Democrats disgusted with the party, and most
Republicans, even including the ultra-conservatives.

Why will this happen? The answer is simple. McCaine has
an overall 85% conservative voting record: voting for extending
the Bush tax cuts, a strong defense, victory in Iraq, border
security and fiscal responsibility.......... against Obama's 100%
liberal record.

Those in their right minds will not want to see this
country slip more and more toward Socialism, which is
basically what the Democrats, and particularly Obama,
have been preaching. His programs go in only one direction
............. tax the middle-class, and give to the lower class.
Grant amnesty to all the illegals in the US. Give them
Social Security. Give them drivers licenses..................
give them your job!

No my far-left wackos..........the United States is still about those
Americans who have built this country, sacraficed for it, and
refuse to turn it over to free-loaders. If I have to go door to
door come November, I will do my damndest to see that this
country is not surrendered............ to terrorists, opportunists
or overly-ambitious and underqualified politicians.
