First Post of the New Year

Yeah, okay. I've been bitter and sad that we have an Obama-nation as president as of 12pm on Tuesday. I've been sulking and not writing. I've been wondering what is wrong with us.

On Tuesday, the Rock star that would be God, if only the Democrats allowed God into the Government, Barack Hussein (Yes, we can say it now!!) Obama will be sworn in as President. He becomes the first black president of these United States, and does so with no real qualifications other than the fact that he is 'articulate' and 'intelligent,' especially considering he is black...you know, the one feature about him that they would not let you forget.

Nearly every person this man is associated with is dirty on some level. Governor Richardson could not accept his post for some shady campaign situations. The man he taps to lead the Treasury and the IRS failed to pay his taxes on his Independent Contractor job, right up until he was nominated to run the organization he owed 6 years of back-taxes to.

Yet, Chris Matthews and the entire mass media have tingly feelings up their legs when they hear his name. They will sell out home and country to make sure that they protect him from his own foolishness and inexperience. In the next 4 years, the United States could collapse into total ruin, and the New York Times and NBC will still be blaming Bush, with zero blame on Obama.

It will be a tough four years for Conservatism. Republicans are flocking to be the next to reach across the aisle and get some media love by making positive and supportive statements about Obama. He organized this big dinner with 'conservatives' (which, in this case, means a few people not so far left they are falling off the edge who are actually just left of center to just about right of center). People are drinking the kool-aid in mass.

Where are the Conservative leaders? I think 2009-2010 should be two years in which there should emerge a third party. I feel that Republicans have allowed themselves to be hoodwinked into becoming moderate Democrats. We need a new, Conservative party. We need people like Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, George Allen, Jeb Bush, Governor Pawlenty, and many of the like, to all join together.

Washington is broken. The media is broken. Even the one-time conservative safe-haven of Fox News is becoming slightly more left than it once was. There are still conservatives there, but the left is creeping in day by day.

America is a Conservative country. In national elections, where Conservatism is strongly represented on the ballots, American Conservatism answers the election call in immense quantities.

Conservatism is not dead...it is in exile. We let John McCain take the Republican Party to the left. We let the White House and the Congress go to the Left. We need to regroup, reorganize, and win back the Houses in 2010. Then, we need to keep pushing, fighting, clawing, scraping, and standing up for our beliefs and win back the White House in 2012.

It is time, now, to start preparing to fight the media, Obama-ites, and the apathetic masses who only listen to the 5 second soundbites on NBC. We need to bring Conservatism back to our Government...

And we need to do so before the Government buys everything.

Oh, and by the way, to anyone who buys the myth of Global Warming...why is it so freaking COLD in America right now?

It has been a while...My Apologies...

For the last 3 weeks or so, I have been sulking, politically, and busy, professionally, thus preventing more of my words of mediocrity from appearing on this blog site. I apologize to my hundreds of readers for my delays in getting back to you, both on here, and through the many emails you have sent.

So, let me recap what has gone on since I last posted.

We are gearing up for a new Clinton administration, a third term for Bill and Hillary's people. Barack even admitted that he was intentionally hiring former Clinton people because he wanted experienced people on his staff. However, with Hillary the most likely Secretary of State, and Bill publicly stating interest in a job in the president-elect's cabinet, America is entering into the 1990's all over again. Higher taxes are on the way! Oh, and in bad news for the economy, this Clinton regime will not have the internet boom fall into its collective lap this time around.

Congress, with their 59 Democrats in the Senate, is spending like there is no tomorrow. Since some of our Republican friends thought that acting like a Democrat and spending more than we have was how to get re-elected, we have no one left to fight for spending control. Except when it comes to the military. They are all for gutting the military...similar to what happened 10 minutes after Bill took office in 1993. Then, for 8 years, our weakened military was unable to fight off terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, two US Embassies in Africa, and the USS Cole. (The same military and defense cuts led to our vulnerability to the 9-11 attacks.)

Everyone from the city of Chicago (fully under the impression of the buddy-boy network now that their puppet is the president-elect), to the state of Cahl-EEE-foh-nee-yah; from the mom and pop candy store to the biggest automakers in the United States; are all asking...or, begging...for a big slice of the open flood of money from Washington. It is downright sad. There is such a panic over the economy, 99% of which is exacerbated by the 24-hour, repetitive news cycle, that everyone is making a run on any money they can get their paws on, no one taking a moment to really think of where this money is coming from, or what the price is going to be in the long run.

The one bright spot of the 2008 elections, well, the one successful bright spot, if you will, was Saxby Chambliss fending off the millions of Obama-aid send to Georgia to reclaim his seat in the Senate, thus preventing the filibuster-prof majority for the Democrats. Saxby will be looked to for leadership and strength, as he is one of the few Republicans to be able to return to Washington in January. Saxby won by double-digit margins, thus preventing a drawn-out, lawsuit-filled holiday season, as there would assuredly be suit after suit after suit should the polls have been withing 5 points. So, Saxby Chambliss is the one hero that Republicans can look to for the next couple of years. He fought the "Obama-mania media" and the Liberals from NYC to LA to win back his seat.

Next, I want to address the pseudo-controversy surrounding Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. His comments about Janet Napolitano, Obama's pick to head Homeland Security. The same media who criticized Sarah Palin for having 5 kids is now attacking Rendell for his comments. He made a comment, that was unknowingly picked up by a nearby live mic, that said that since Napolitano does not have a family, she is a great pick for the job, because she can devote 19-20 hours a day to the job. To me, Rendell was only repeating the logic that many used to attack Sarah Palin. Now they are upset at this logic? In addition, this comment was not sexist, as many are purporting to be. The quote was, "Janet's perfect for that job. Because for that job, you have to have no life. Janet has no family. Perfect. She can devote, literally, 19-20 hours a day to it." The only reference to her gender came in the form of pronouns used instead of her name. There was no reference to her gender other than that. It just goes to show how sensitive and ready to pounce people are today. Everyone is looking for a reason to get mad at someone.

Previously in this piece, I referred to Chambliss as the 'one successful brightspot' in this year's campaign cycle. There can be arguments as to how successful she was, but the fact is she did not get elected. And I do blame her running mate as much as I do the left-wing media that actively campaigned for her opponents. I am talking, of course, about the "breath of fresh air," Governor Sarah Palin. She was the bright spot to outshine all bright spots. She, and she alone, carried John McCain to a lead in September. Then the financial crisis hit, and then the media put the blame solely on the Bush Administration, and that proved to be too much for even the bright-eyed, intelligent, strong Conservative leader Palin.

However, I do believe that Sarah Palin may well repeat her own Modus Operondai come 2012. If you know much about her, you know that before winning the Governorship, Palin did lose a bid to become Lieutenant Governor her first time around. So, perhaps, in 2012, it is time for her to take a step up, much as she did in Alaska. A Palin-Romney ticket sounds great to me. Or, perhaps, Sarah Palin-General David Petraeus ticket? Okay, I am stretching it there, but Petraeus has climbed about as high as anyone can in the military. In four years, he may want to climb to a higher office.

It has been a hard month to swallow. It sickens me how much of a rock star our president-elect is. He is not a leader. He was not elected to be a leader. He is simply installing Clinton Administration 2.0, then going around talking good. However, Saxby Chambliss helped America avoid sheer disaster, and may just be enough for us to limp to the 2010 mid-terms, where I hope people like Sarah Palin are the face of the party, and not these middle of the road phonies who think Republicans need to lean left, instead of the Democrats leaning from the FAR FAR FAR left toward the center.

I am hopeful.

I do want to add that I had a lot of ground to cover in this piece, and I did not want to include the Black Friday tragedies and the India Terrorist Attacks in with this litany of commentary. I will discuss those events in coming blogs. Thank you for your time!

What WE have to do...

The fact of the matter is, the nation is divided.

Over the last 6 years, since Democrats stopped being pro-American and being pro-Democrat, the liberals in the media and in elected office have been attacking American unity. They were courteous enough to shut up for a few months post-9/11, but then they saw opportunity.

They saw a chance to seize power by attacking every policy of the Bush anti-terrorism initiative. They attacked out troops. They accused American troops of torture, murdering civilians, pillaging villages, and generally being poor-class and fighting dirty. Our fighting men and women have been attacked, insulted, berated, and accused of unthinkable war crimes....BY OUR OWN CONGRESS AND LEADERS!

It is sad that our enemies have used the words of our own elected officials as recruiting materials and as anti-American propaganda. Our troops are entering greater and greater danger in Afghanistan, as they were in Iraq pre-McCain-supported troop surge, because of the propaganda provided by AMERICAN DEMOCRATS.

Remember, post-Vietnam, NO CONSERVATIVE...NO REPUBLICAN...stood in lines to spit on and attack our troops returning from war. No CONSERVATIVE has ever given anti-American fodder for the recruiting propaganda of terrorist enemies.

So, since early 2002, less than half a year since the worst attack on American soil, DEMOCRATS have been attacking everything in sight to divide the country and fortify that division. The sides are almost irreparably divided; in fact scarily so.

The point being, there is nearly zero chance that we can change the minds of the Obama-maniacs who drank the kool-aid served by the media and Obama himself. We cannot get liberals or Democrats to drop their blind love and devotion to Obama. It is not going to happen.

So, how do we keep the White House and, possibly, reverse the growing liberal power in Congress?

VOTE.

We, the American conservatives, we must VOTE.

VOTE!

Tell people who and why we are voting for.

We must VOTE!

The media is spinning the early voter turnout as a trend for an Obama slaughter of McCain. They are popping champaign in the offices of NBC and CNN, already claiming Democrat victory and a new Super Majority in Washington, DC.

We have to show them how wrong they are. America is an overall conservative nation. We have to get our conservative majority motivated and out to the polls.

Whether we win or lose, we have to go down with a fight. We have to go down swinging, if it is in the cards for ACORN's tactics to win, we cannot sit idly by and guarentee a default victory for Obama.

We need to vote. Make our voices heard! We need to fight until the end of voting.

In the words of the immortal Coach Jim Valvano, "Never give up. Don't ever give up"

If you can get motivated, and motivate more conservative-minded people to show up and vote, at the end of the day, we might just suprise the liberals celebrating Obama's victory already.

Well, I take it back...there is hope!

I was so down and out yesterday and last night, I forgot that there is hope for our country.

Her name is Sarah Palin.

She is smart, funny, strong, and a true leader. I just wish that the McCain campaign would let her take the gloves off and just go out and preach the truth.

Sadly, like McCain, she is forcing restraint. She isn't going for the knockout blow. She isn't forcing the issues that would hurt the democratic ticket.

However, her personality and her proven leadership and her, for lack of a better work, chutzpah have all led be to believe that she is our country's future. We need to send her and McCain to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I believe that after serving 4 to 8 years under McCain, she will be ready to lead our country into the future.

In 16 years, at age 60, I think Sarah Palin could very well become one of, if not the greatest leader of our time, if not in the history of our country. She has it all.

I guess it all comes down to how successful Acorn is at voter fraud as to whether Obama gets enough "Jive Turkey" and "Seymour Butts" votes.

Sadly, America is doomed.

What is wrong with us nowadays? We have no patience. No forward thinking. We have a national ADD.

Most of America was solidly AGAINST the bailout scam. Then, we, as a nation, panic as the Dow takes a dive. We start a national hysteria over something that can, in time, correct itself. At least correct itself to a point without needing to used BILLIONS and BILLIONS in tax payer dollars to cover up for Democrats' shortcomings.

This "crisis" started when Slick Willy's economic buffoons came up with the idea that EVERYONE should OWN a home. Everyone!!! So, the edict came down that, regardless of true credit and ability to repay the loan, money was thrown by the dump-truck-load down a bottomless pit of mortgages for the uncreditworthy.

Many Republicans, including current Presidential candidate John McCain, warned of this crisis as early as 2004. Yet, the very Democratic morons that are on the stump whining about lack of oversight and "failed Bush economic policies" are the ones who rejected oversight and control of this market. Why?

Well, mainly because most, if not all, of the democratic leadership was pocketing huge sums of money from these failing companies, like Countrywide, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. Chris Dodd recieved the most money, with Barack Hussein Obama receiving the second most in "kickbacks" from these companies.

So, now that the failures of these financial institutions are directly affecting the pockets of the democratic leadership, suddenly they can put in overtime to pass a bill to help out.

Amazing that there was not this much dedication to helping the American people when Republicans wanted to vote on off-shore drilling in August. A real problem with a need for immediate solution was not important enough for Congress to stay a day or two into their second Summer recess. Instead, Pelosi virtually shut off all electricity to the Capitol Building to force everyone to recess.

This new bill is more full of pork than can be described. It is ridiculous. An yet, Americans are buying into the hysteria and allowing this garbage to go through.

It is time for John McCain to make these porkers famous, as he so claims to want to do as President. It is time for the McCain campaign to load up the guns and fire away with the truth! It is time for the politeness and the diplomacy of the McCain campaign to come to a halt. It is time that McCain become the leader we know he can and lead us out of these dark, hysterical days.

Or else, Obama will lead us further into the abyss, and we might never come out.

The Latest News...My Take

First and foremost on people's minds is the current state of the American and world economy. Everyone is in a panic and thinking that we are on the verge of a new depression. I say, "Calm down!"

John McCain was right. The fundamentals of our economy are still strong. However, some very big financial institutions were very careless in their pursuit of outlandish profits and personal gains of the suits in charge. Some of those suits that have personally gained from the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failures are include the very democrats pointing fingers at Bush. What people are not looking at is the fact that Barack Obama personally benefited from the two housing lenders' failures.

The bail-out of Freddie and Fannie, as well as AIG and the other companies being saved, will help keep our economy strong. While the bail-out will temporarily impact our tax budget, there is a real possibility that much of the $700 billion can be recouped, if not see a profit turned. If only we get the greedy democrats out of power.

Barack Obama and Chris Dodd and hundreds of other democrats personally pocketed millions of dollars from these institutions. Why don't they stand up and do the right thing and give back that shady money? Because it is easier to blame George Bush, the same practice that liberals have been doing since early 2002, when they first started blaming Bush for 9/11, and then it just continued from there.

This bail-out is, sadly, needed to prevent a deep recession, if not a complete depression. My hope is that America will elect McCain and McCain will let an economic whiz like Mitt Romney take charge of the economy.

Outside of that, we again are feeling even more pain at the gas pump. Why? We have no alternatives!!!!! We have no alternatives thanks to the do-nothing Democratic Congress. What happened to their promises of lowering energy costs? What happened to their promises of changing everything? They have done nothing! They went to break instead of voting on energy solutions. Nancy Pelosi forced the House of Representatives to summer recess instead of hearing Republicans who had requested floor time. She ordered the cameras off, the lights turned down, and the doors locked.

What kind of leader is this? She would rather go on vacation that do her job and find solutions for problems facing her constituents. And we are still painfully close to $4 a gallon with no hope in sight.

What has this heroic Democratic Congress done in two years? They were elected with promises of the sun, moon, and stars. They have done nothing of substance. They spent the first year of their time in power voting on non-binding resolutions to force withdrawal from Iraq. They have spent more time voting on resolutions that had as much legal power as a post-it note found on the floor of the Capitol Building than on finding solutions to American problems.

So, we have democrats with their hands in the crumbling cookie jar of Freddie and Fannie and Countrywide and all these other institutions. We have a do-nothing Democratic congress that has accomplished nothing, with the exception of a single-digit approval rating, setting historic records for disgust with accomplishment. Yet, sadly, nearly 50% of Americans support this same party?

Even worse, look at the kind of trash and low-life attacks that democrats are slinging at the McCain-Palin ticket. The left is not going on facts and issues, instead they are taking very mean-spirited, low, uncouth, dirty, disgraceful, and tasteless swipes at John McCain and Sarah Palin.

How many times do we have to hear that John McCain is going to die in office? The loud-mouths on "The View" implied and said it at least 6 times in the 30 minutes McCain was on their sofa. "God-forbid, something might happen to you..." McCain is a tough cat. He has smirked and walked-through and survived events and catastrophes that civilians could not fathom. Running the nation he has served for over 40 years will be a cakewalk compared to some of the travesties McCain has dealt with.

For a party that supposedly fights for women, they sure cannot handle a woman with a shot at the Vice Presidency. They constantly question Sarah Palin and her ability to be a family person and a VP. They never question a man, yet they attack a woman. Why? She is a conservative. If Sarah Palin was pro-choice and wanted to raise taxes and have government take over health care, these nut job feminazis would be 100% for her. Yet, because her fundamental beliefs are different, her gender is no longer worth promoting. And don't get me started on the complete garbage and classless attacks against Todd Palin and their children.

The children are not campaigning. They are CHILDREN, you sick, twisted, soul-less morons. We have left-wing media people and left-wing politicians who attack the Palin family on a daily basis. Charlie Rangel called Sarah Palin "disabled." Media have implied that Todd Palin is "doing those girls," referring to the Palin daughters. There are attacks out there claiming that Trig, the precious youngest Palin child, is actually the product of an incestuous relationship between Todd and the 15-year-old daughter.

Then there is Charlie Gibson with his very condescending attitude and disrespect for Sarah Palin. She handled it well, but Gibson was so rude and slanted in his interview with Palin. It is just part of a pattern of the left trying to tear her apart, not just politically, but personally.

I just hope, and I do have hope, that the rest of the country can see through the garbage. There are no real attacks on McCain's policies or Palin's strengths. Instead, there are personal attacks and attempts to personally destroy the children, who have nothing to do with the campaign.

So, people, please, see through the smoke and mirrors. Research and find the truth. If you think for yourself, and truly find the truth, you will have no choice but to vote the correct ticket come November 4.

The Lipstick of Doom

"The difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull...Lipstick."

The famous, oft-repeated joke that Sarah Palin made in reference to herself, and other Alaskan hockey moms, at the Republican National Convention last week. The comment has been played, repeated, looped, and Youtubed a million times over. There is no way on Earth that his campaign did not hear and understand the comment.

Yet, Barack Obama, as he paused, stammerred, and "uh"-ed his way through a campaign stop in Virginia yesterday, he made a very snide remark and went below the belt on the McCain-Palin ticket.

His comment, which is an old saying, was that "You can put lipstick on a pig...{dramatic pause as he allows the crowd to 'get it' and laugh}...but it's still a pig."

For me, I have to conceed that it is in fact an old saying. However, his decision to use it, and then include the long pause for the crowd to get the joke, shows just how rattled he and his campaign really are.

There has been a 23 percentage-point swing in the last 10 days in a crucial area of Obama's demographic. Women, scorned by Obama being the nominee and then not even vetting or considering Hillary for his VP, are flocking to the energy, family-values, and inspiring story of Sarah Palin.

And Obama blatantly calls her a pig on the campaign stump.

For conversation's sake, let me pose this hypothetical, despite the fact that the likelihood of this being fact is minimal. Let's just say that Obama was not taking a swipe at Palin. Let's just say the "lipstick on a pig" comment was meant at face value and not a play on a largely famous comment from just one week prior. Let us say the comment is innocent in nature and not a swipe. Let's just say that.

So, now, we see just how poorly Barack Obama's judgement is working. Knowing the sensitive situation he is in with the way the media has lashed out and attacked Palin, he had to have known how his lipstick comment would be recieved. He HAD to have known that saying such a thing would be taken hard by many people. He HAD to have known.

Yet, he showed his typical poor judgement. The same poor judgement he used in choosing his pastor of 20 years. The same poor judgement in the people he has been closly associated with. The same poor judgement he used in talking about how the surge has been a failure. The same poor judgement, and possibly poor intelligence, he showed when talking about visiting the 56 or 57 states.

Either way, it shows the simple fact most people can already see, despite the attempts of NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MTV, and the left-wing blogosphere to smear and destroy the Republicans, that Barack Obama does not have the judgement, intelligence, and leadership ability to lead our country.

He called Palin a pig. Plain and simple. He refuses to focus on the issues alone, instead he takes cheap, below-the-belt swipes at the VP candidate and not his opponent. He will not tell us his solutions, other than he won't repeat what George W. Bush has done. So, he calls the VP candidate a pig. Well, I think he just showed that he is a chicken.

Victory is within our grasp...and they cannot stand it!

Oprah, MSNBC, The New York Times, John Stewart, MTV, and anyone else who does not work at Fox News are all flustered over the new look of the campaign.

Barack Hussein Obama is spending his campaign time and money trying to attack the VICE Presidential Candidate from the other ticket. He is not focused on John McCain, but Sarah Palin.

Where is Joe Biden?

It's like the left wing media and all the crazy kool-aid drinkers in the Obama campaign (Actually, that is all one-in-the-same..) are pitting the lone gun Obama versus McCain and Palin. Biden does no factor in the match up at all right now.

Sarah Palin has changed the campaign, the Republican party, and our country. She is a woman of integrity, small-town values, work ethic, and family. She is the epitome of what the women's movement CLAIMED to be about, yet the so-called leaders of the women's movement are attacking Palin as well.

America is starting to wake up and smell the cow droppings. The country is starting to see how the media operates. We all see that true journalism is dead, with the exception of Bill O'Reilly, of course.

The democrats have given up on running on issues. They are running on the new platform of "Sarah Palin is bad news! We can prove it once we find the dirt!"

They attempted to destroy her family and drag a non-public figure into the muck. Oh, yeah, and that non-public figure is a 17-year-old girl dealing with the pressures of adolecence as well as an unplanned pregnancy. They could not beat Sarah Palin, a 44-year-old Governor, so they attempted to destroy Bristol Palin, a teenager.

Oprah is very disappointing, yet, at the same time, not a surprise. Oprah risked her reputation by becoming very supportive and vocal for Barack Obama. She allowed him two appearances on her show. The claim is that it was before he announced that he was going to run for President, but anyone with half a brain knew that the appearances on Oprah were to make him more of a household name for when he would announce.

So, Oprah denies Sarah Palin, a family and career woman, the brightest example of the success of feminism in the last 10 years, the chance to introduce herself to millions of women just like her. The interview could be geared away from politics and simply allow the world to meet Sarah Palin. Instead, Oprah took a weak way out of it and refuses to allow Sarah Palin the appearance until after the election.

Rush Limbaugh said it, and this is not a racist or biggoted statement. It is merely an observation. I agree with the assessment, and think it is worth mentioning. Oprah has obviously and publicly chosen her race over her gender. For nearly 30 years she has made billions of dollars by acting as a woman's woman, a leader for women everywhere. Her entire career is built on her being a proponent of women's issues. Her race never mattered because she was a woman who transcended all barriers. Yet, in the one time she gets involved in politics, she chooses her race over her gender in not bringing in Sarah Palin.

So, the attacks against Palin will continue for 60 days or so. She will be attacked and questioned harder and more unfairly than you can imagine...certainly with more viciousness and intensity than Barack Obama has eve faced. And she will do it with her shoulders and head held high, and a smile on her face.

On November 4, 2008, I will proudly cast my vote for McCain-Palin. Their campaign is one of issues and solutions. The others are on a campaign of character assassination, empty promises, and naieve wishes.

RNC v. DNC...Winners and Losers...

The 2008 Presidential Race is officially on and heading into the final laps.

We now know the players involved. Cue the announcer...

"To my left, in the Blue corner, with zero executive experience combined, Senators Barack Hussein Obama and Joe "Less Than 1% in the Primaries" Biden...

Their opponents, to my right, in the Red corner, with leadership, courage, and a country-first philisophy, Senator John McCain and Sarah "The Baracuda" Palin!"

Let us examine what we have learned from the two conventions.

From the Democratic National Convention we learned...

uh...

We learned about Barack Obama's incredible life story. The details of his time at Harvard. The amazing things he did as Community Organizer. There unbelievable accomplishments Obama reached as an Illinois State Senator. We learned of how Obama single-handedly enacted incredible change as a Senator representing Illinois in Washington.

Not so much.

All we learned is that the Democrats are still on message...the same message of 2004.

The message of the Democrats is George Bush is terrible, the Republicans are terrible the policies of the Republicans are terrible, the country is in terrible shape, and we will do different. They also claim to be the carriers of change and hope. Change. Change. Hope Hope. Change and hope. Bush sucks. Change and hope. Healthcare. Healthcare. Bush and the Republicans did not do enough. John McCain is not the answer. Change and Hope.

In 4 days of the national convention, with all of the voting public watchin, we learnd absolutely NOTHING new about Barack Obama or Joe Biden. They continued their hatred and vitriol against the Republicans, but that was it.

At no time did the Democrats explain how they are going to bring about change. They simply repeated the mantra over and over.

And still, they did not tell Obama's story. We know nothing about his Community Organizer experience. We know nothing of any accomplishments at Harvard, in the state Senate or in the US Senate. They had 4 days to tell the story of Barack Obama and show his qualifications, and they did nothing.

We saw Obama standing on a grandiose stage with huge Greek pillars as if he were on Mt. Olympus, speaking amongst the gods to the peasants. During his speech, he did not present the case for his qualifications to be Commander-in-Cheif.

This week, on the other hand, we learned the details of John McCain's life. For years, we heard brief mentions of his time in a POW camp in Hanoi. We heard generalized statements and empty comments about his time as a POW. We heard small snippets for years that barely scratched the surface of who John McCain is. Then, finally, for the benefit of America, the Republicans did John McCain, as well as the rest of the men and women involved in the Vietnam War due justice.

For four nights, we learned of the incredible pain, sacrifice, indignity, and torture that John McCain and his fellow POWs endured. He is a human being that went through superhuman trials and tribulation. He admitted, on Thursday night during his acceptance speech, that during one of his painful torture sessions, the evil captors that held McCain and his bretheren had broken McCain. Through morse code, tapping on the walls between cells, McCain and fellow soldiers reassured each other.

McCain, Fred Thompson, and the RNC all made sure to point out that the fact of his time as a POW does not in of itself make McCain qualified to be President. However, the character, strength, and love and pride of country he developed in those horrible 5 years do.

We learned the McCain story. We learned of how much hell...pure, unadulterated hell on earth...that this man suffered. Amazingly, 4 of the 5 years that he endured wound up occurring because of his honor and his choice to stay. He was offered a chance to go because of who his father was. However, he honored the pact that American soldiers kept with each other...First in, First out. He suffered brutality that would kill most men in an instant for four more years because he had the character and honor to keep a simple pact with his brothers.

We learned that his character and strong resolve have made him a warrior in the US Congress, as he has fought for nearly 3 decades to slow the growth of government, slow the spending of government, lower taxes, and make America a better place.

We also learned of Sarah Palin's efforts to fight corruption and her other remarkable successes as a Governor. Sarah Palin introduced her family to America, and anyone with a decent heart and soul could see the love, adoration, and pride the Palin famiy shares. Sarah Palin is not an elite, rich, media-driven, poll-driven, politician. She is a real woman, from a real small town, with real small-town values and morals, with a real family who has overcome real life. Basically, Sarah Palin is REAL. She is smart, funny, hard working, and dedicated to America and serving her country.

The differences in the Democratic convention and the Republican convention should be undeniable and unmistakeable.

We learned nothing and there was no attempt to convince us of the qualifications of the Democratic ticket. We know nothing of Obama and Biden as men and as politicians. We should just take their empty words as the gospel and trust in their promises of change. We cannot question them for a definition of the change. We just have to know that they will bring change and take their word for it, asking nothing more.

In the Republican convention, we learned the life stories of the two people on the ticket. We learned of their experience. We learned of their morals and character. We learned not only why we should not vote for Obama, but also why we SHOULD vote for McCain-Palin.

Not only that, but also the mood and atmosphere of the conventions were so different, it was amazing.

At the DNC, there was a hatred, a level of vitriol that could be cut with a knife by folks watching at home. There was anger and disdain. The cheers were done in spite against Republicans. There was not a celebration, it was almost as if it were an angry mob with no real ideals, goals, or objectives, other than destroying the enemy.

At the RNC, there was an unbelievable level of pride, not only in party, but, more importantly, in Country. Pride in being a part of the nomination and election process. Then, as President George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Rudy Guiliani, Joe Liberman, and Sarah Palin came out to tell McCain's life story, there were amazing levels of reverance and respect and pride combined into a huge celebration. There was such a higher, lighter, happier mood and atmosphere at the RNC. You could enjoy and celebrate the RNC.

I hope more people, especially those open-minded independents, who saw the RNC and came away with the same level of respect and adoration for McCain. I never knew how much he went through for this country. The RNC educated me. I will happily cast my vote for the Maverick Ticket on November 4.

I hope you will join me.

The Unfair Fight That Should Unify Conservatives, Women, and Mothers

Here is the situation.

On one side, you have the wife of a presidential candidate actively campaigning, speaking at rallies, and regularly sticking her foot in her mouth by making snide remarks about her country. This woman has called America a "mean" country. She said that the fact that her husband's ability to run for and win a party's nomination for president makes her "proud of [her] country" for the first time. She is an active member of the campaign. She is a campaign spokesperson. Yet, she is beyond reproach. Any questions about her are low-brow, below the belt, low class, and just plain wrong.

On the other side, you have a woman who has accepted the nomination to be her party's Vice President. Her family appears with her at times, but they do not speak. They are not involved in the campaign. They are her family, a separate part of her life. Her husband does not take the stump for her. Her children are not speaking at the national convention. Yet, all of the left-wing media, from the 5,000 failing NBC channels to CNN to ABC to MSN.com to Yahoo.com, all of them are attacking her family, the brunt of the attack focused on a teenage girl.

This campaign has gotten out of hand. I can deal with the media being so obviously biased for Barack Obama. I can live with their 10 times more favorable coverage of Hussein Obama. I can live with the rockstar-like coverage of his field trip to the middle east and Europe. I can even deal with the fact non of his left-wing media friends, and he has a lot, questioned his skipping out on meeting with injured troops in Germany. I can live with all the attacks against McCain or Sarah Palin. I can live with being called racist for not liking Obama, even though his ethnicity has no bearing whatsoever on my dislike.

However, I have a serious, serious problem with attacking a seventeen year-old girl. I have a serious issue with attacks against a teenager who has made a mistake that millions of teens have done, a mistake celebrated and encouraged by most people on the same side that are now attacking her. I have a serious problem with these irresponsible media folks attacking an innocent family for something that has zero bearing on the campaign.

It is just another sad example of how Obama is not qualified to be President. At no point in the 2008 election has Obama shown and outlined his qualifications. He cannot and will not run on the issues. He knows it. The democrats know it. The media knows it. So, they have to run attacks and smears like going after a pregnant teenager.

Pre-marital and unprotected sex are not things I endorse. I am sure Sarah Palin and her husband did not endorse nor encourage their 17-year-old to practice those type of things. However, she is a teen. Teens make mistakes. Teens think they know it all and do things they might later regret. It happens. Yet this teen and her family are united. They are supporting the teen who has opted to keep the baby. She plans to wed the father of the baby. There are far greater errors in judgement teens can make.

How low-brow is it to attack a family and embarrass, hurt, and psychologically scar a 17-year-old girl? How is this okay, yet to question Michelle Obama and her slightly anti-American comments a travesty of travesties?

How can you people sleep at night?

I like Sarah Palin. Her resume might be a little on the thin side, yet she has more executive, decision-making experience than Barack Obama. She has stuck her neck out an enabled change in a short time in the Governor's Office in Juneau, Alaska. She has a track record. She has a policy-based platform to run on as Vice President. She offers more qualifications and experience than Obama, who is running to be President. She is strong, smart, of high morals, and will bring change to Washington. She is a no-nonsense person who will fight for what is right, not what is popular.

She also offers the answer to many Hillary supporters. Those voters, especially many of the women voters, are upset that Obama is in and Hillary did not even get considered to be on the ticket as Vice President. Sarah Palin scares the Democrats. She, like McCain, cannot be defeated on issues.

So, what can they do?

Attack her 17-year-old daughter.

Way to go.

McCain...GET ON YOUR HORSE!!!

Well, Mr. McCain, you are officially tied with The One.

You've taken a few stiff jabs, clean jabs, at your opponent, the Liberal Messiah.

It is time to take the gloves off, fight, and go full steam ahead on your campiagn. Obama is calling you and your campaign racist without legitimacy, reason, or proof. We all know that the alphabet networks are in the tank for Obama...stop being cordial.

Mr. McCain, it is time for the Republicans to unite. It is time for us to find ourselves and reclaim the nation away from the grips of the leftist elites.

2008 was supposed to be a politically bloody year for the right. It was to be a year in which Liberalism could claim a victory and the fatality of Conservatism. Conservatism was supposed to be on life support in November, with the liberals pulling the plug and letting us starve to death like Terri Schiavo (Another liberal victory granted by judges legislating from the bench).

The McCain campaign, like the Conservative movement, was supposedly written off for dead. Both have a chance to make the comeback of a lifetime. However, the inkling of momentum Republicans have right now might be our only shot to get over the hump and on the way to a victory.

However, Mr. McCain is playing too nice. He is too clean. He is too politically correct. He is too cordial.

Obama is happier than a pig in the rut to tell America that he is black. Fellow liberal blacks will claim a vote against Obama is a vote for racism. We all know you are above that mess, Mr. McCain. Now is the time you hammer home the differences between you and Obama that matter.

The differences that matter between McCain and Obama are simple, fundamental, and easily exploited. It is time for McCain to fire at will and take every open shot he can.

Look at all the differences. Obama wants to tax anyone making money, other than him, to oblivion. Obama wants the government to take care of every single want, need, and desire for every American from womb to tomb. Obama wants the government to regulate and control every aspect of our lives. Obama has no faith in Americans, he truly believes the government knows how to better run the lives of everyday people. Obama wants to talk and have tea and crumpets with the leaders of terrorist nations. He wants to make diplomacy the way of American foreign policy. He wants to tell the enemy when we are leaving town, so they can rest and wait until it is open season in Iraq. Obama wants the oil companies to start cutting checks to Americans to help them with the cost of energy, as opposed to finding more supply to meet the demand.

McCain, you are totally different. Yet, you are not doing a strong enough job of convincing America of this. Your message is not out there nearly enough in strong enough language.

It is time for McCain to take the GOP by the horns and guide us into November. It is time for all Republicans to revert back to our tried and true methods of success. It is time to stop cow-towing to the left to keep them involved. It is time to leave them in our dust and do what is right for America and our future.

The latest debacle by the left in Congress should be the ultimate turning point in the 2008 election. It is up to the GOP to take advantage of what we have going for us right this minute.

Or, are we going to sit back and give away this election? Like in 2006?

GOP...WAKE UP!

There are so few people out there hammering this home. It is time for the Republicans and Conservative to take this election. The time is NOW!

Nancy Pellosi and Dingy Harry Reid called for the summer vacation and shut down congress. Not such a big deal in most years. However, most years do not see gas hovering near $4 a gallon.

The big problem is that Pellosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and also third in line behind George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, literally turned off the cameras, kicked out the press, and turned off the mics and lights in mid-session while Republican Representatives were trying to get an up-or-down vote on off-shore oil drilling.

Pellosi abused her position to avoid getting something positive done. She refused the chance to have the vote on a resolution that could set the groundwork to open up off-shore drilling.

In the two years since the Democrats have taken Congress, they have done NOTHING. They did give away billions of dollars in the tax rebate deal. We all loved that short-term, however, we will pay long-term.

The Dems have done NOTHING. They watched as oil climbed over 75% and did nothing to slow the skyrocketing costs of energy. They played games with war funding by trying to impose timelines and deadlines. They passed meaningless resolution after meaningless resolution that disagreed with President Bush's policies. They renamed post offices and bridges. They investigated baseball and football and pro wrestling.

Yet, Nancy Pellosi closed Congress for summer to avoid voting on a resolution that would only set groundwork for offshore drilling. Republicans were not asking for an immediate approval to start drilling. All Republicans wanted was to pass a resolution that set the idea in motion. In the busy schedule of softball interviews she had to get to, Pelosi just did not have time to try to ease the suffering of Americans at the pump, nor fend off the pending crisis this winter when Americans need heating oil.

Yet, there are not nearly enough Republicans in a all-out outrage over this situation. Pelosi just handed us Congress and the White House with this tactic. Are we ready to take back the leadership?

The next two months will tell. I hope we are. I truly hope Republicans get their heads out of the sand and start hammering the liberal twerps and take back Congress and the White House.

Flip-flop much?

After seeing his slim lead evaporate in less than a week, guess who is coming to terms with reality?

Barack HUSSEIN Obama is now promoting alternatives to high gas prices and proper tire inflation. He is actually turning his rhetoric around to where it might be possible that the United States of America might should actually use its OWN RESOURCES!!!

In the last few days, Obama, who will tell anyone who listens that he looks different than everyone on the US currency and John McCain, has come out and said the following. He said he would actually consider drilling off-shore on a limited basis. In addition, he has come out and endorsed opening up the Strategic Petroleum Reserves. On top of that, he has even said we need alternative fuel sources and renewable fuels.

Wow!

The learning curve this man is on is amazing!

From the naieve, arrogant, elitist views of a week ago (America does not need to drill oil...Americans need to simply tune up their cars and properly inflate their tires! [The solution for our energy crisis as proposed by Barack on the campain trail last week])to the idea that we actually need to work and create solutions that will last.

Its amazing how easily Barack can change his mind. Just show him the latest polls!

If we could only get a poll out there that said 55% of Republicans would support Barack if he word a bra on his head, I guarentee there would be a piece of Victoria's Secret wrapped around those ears tomorrow!

That reminds me of something that I have been thinking about. On more than one occasion lately, Barack has pointed out that he looks different from previous Presidents and John McCain. Then, in Missouri, he said, that "oh, by the way, {he is} black!"

We know. We really don't care. We respect people for their content of character. Barack has none. He is a puppet for the left of the left. The only difference we might have really noticed physically is one of two things. How flipping scrawny he is...or the fact that he looks like a car with doors open. Other than that, nothing of note to physically notice about him.

This man is not a leader. He is a puppet. He refuses to face tough questions. He refuses to explain himself and his alliances. He refuses to answer for the outrageous comments his wife makes on the campaign. He makes outrageous comments about properly inflating tires as the cure for the energy crisis, but we cannot question him. We cannot attack him.

It is sad. It is scary that 50% of America supports him. It is damn scary that he might win the White House. Then have Ludacris remix "Hail to the Cheif," in which we would end up sending the whites to the cotton fields or killing or paralyzing Bush administration officials. Its frightening.

Hey, Libs, how sad is your candidate?

All we hear from Obama is how he is going to bring change to Washington. We hear vague details on raising taxes on the rich, universal health care, pulling out of Iraq by a deadline, whether or not the job is done, and change.

Obama is a joke. Nothing in his candidacy has any substance. He goes on this "Foreign Experience" field trip where he only shook hands with troops when cameras were rolling. He refused to visit injured/wounded soldiers in Germany because there was no way he could turn it into a campaign stop.

He preaches about change, yet he offers absolutely ZERO substance. He has no leadership experience. He can't even run a decent campaign. He is in NO way, whatsoever qualified to run a mom and pop shop, much less the United States.

During his field trip, he spoke to 200,000 Germans. He told these Germans, who have all the basic earmarks of a socialist society, that he was just like them, believed the way they believed, and wanted the United States to be more like them. I am, of course, paraphrasing and interpreting, as even he is not dumb enough to say it in that manner. However, he related well to the socialist-esque Germans...that same psuedo-ally German country that won't support us in the war against Terror.

Coming home from the field trip, Obama was stunned there was very little bounce in his poll ratings. So, what can he do to regain his ever-slimming lead? Play the ultimate trump card.

THE VAUNTED RACE CARD!!!!!

He commented that Republicans are going to use fear tactics. The kicker of the diatribe was that he pointed out that Republicans were going to try to scare American voters because he doesn't look like the other Presidents. Obviously, this was not a comment on the wigs worn by the likes of George Washington, or the stove pipe hat of Lincoln. No, no, no! This was a direct comment about the fact that Obama is...GASP!...black!

Let me say this. Despite what Jeremiah Wright or Ludacris or any African-American celebrity or leader might say or imply, not voting for Obama is NOT racism.

If you do not vote for Obama, it does not mean that you are a racist. No matter what you might be led to believe. I don't care what anyone says, an Obama loss in November is not a win for racism.

I would say in upwards of 75%, or higher, of American voters would not think twice about a candidate's race. There are very few people, overall, who would actually not vote for someone due to race.

There is going to be an African-American president sometime in the near future. I just do not think this candidate is qualified to do so. Just because he is black does not mean he should be the first black president. You would think that blacks would want their first crack at running the White House to be successful.

I would hate to think that someone like Condi Rice, or any truly qualified African-American person, would have their chances hurt by a electing Obama. Obama is being portrayed the the Great Hope for black people. Sadly, his colossal failure as President could set-back the entire race on many levels.

I am not a racist. I would have no problem with Obama if he were qualified. I would have the same reservations about a white, Hispanic, Asian, Polynesian, or other ethnicity candidate if they were as underqualified.

It says a lot that the only people pointing out Obama's race are people on Obama's side. Its almost as if they are trying to guilt Americans into voting for him. This is not a popularity contest that guilt or charity votes should be solicited.

This is the race for the White House. This is the contest for the highest office on Earth. It should be won on substance and character, not by pointing out that the candidate is black, and that is the only reason you should vote for him.

GOP and Republican Party: The Time is NOW!!!

In Washington state there is a big uproar over some tactics being used by Republican cadidates for state and national offices. In this state, a candidate for such a position can list either Democrat, Republican, or a party moniker of their choosing. So, what is the deal that has Dems in a uproar over how members of the Republican party are on the ballot?

Well, before I tell you what the issue is, in the event you have not heard or understood, let me explain the logic behind the Republican candidates decision to take advantage of this situation.

In America today, 90% of the media (this statistic is based upon my personal impressions, and not that of any legitimate research...so, take that 90% with a grain of salt...but also, try to prove me wrong!) is 100% anti-Republican, 110% anti-Conservative. (Again, opinion-based percentages...yet, I ask you to prove me wrong!) So, the name...the brand, if you will...of the Republican Party has a negative connotation to it. Since the success of liberalism is based upon the voting public's complete closed-mindedness, the label (R) or Republican will be met with an immediate disdain, dislike, and even hatred, regardless of who that Republican might be.

Many liberals who call themselves Christian would immediately leave the church and declare themselves atheist or agnostic if it were proven on NBC or MSNBC that Jesus Christ is a registered Republican. Laugh. Go ahead. Yet, if you look at the mind-numb, ignorant, carrot-on-a-stick-following manner and mania in which most liberals stick to the word of liberal leaders and media, this is not far from the truth.

So, the point is, liberals, and to a point, middle-of-the-roaders, will automatically reject the Republican label. (Usama Bin Laden could win most any election in the United States with nothing more than a (D) next to his name.) However, Washington state has a loophole that allows a chance to take some of the power away from the R word and possibly see elections based on the issues.

In Washington state, many Republicans are distancing themselves, quietly from the name Republican and running as candidates on the "GOP" ticket. Instead of seeing Joe Schmoe (R), you can see Joe Schmoe (GOP) running against John Doe (D). Its a simple rebranding, like when Kentucky Fried Chicken tried to eliminate the negativity surrounding 'fried' foods by just branding itself as KFC.

Dems, of couse, are in an uproar. Keith Olberman is crying foul (no pun intended with my previous KFC reference). Yet, don't they cry to the highest mountain tops EVERYTIME a Republican candidate gets an advantage?

I am all for it. Perhaps the entire Republican party should follow suit. Perhaps we need to rebrand ourselves. Refer to ourselves as GOP candidates and redefine what conservatism is all about. Not redefine as in change the meaning, but make the meaning more clear and abundant. It is time for the GOP to reunite and remind America what it is that separates us from Dem.

First, we need to renew our strength as the party of financial responsibility. Enough of the pork spending and the earmarks. The GOP can no longer afford to allow congressmen and friends of congressmen get rich off tax payer dollars. We have to fight the wasteful spending and invest our money into defense, energy, and education.

Second, we need to make a pact with America, and by proxy our closest allies, that we will be the world leader in creating new, clean, renewable energy sources for the present, as well as for generations to come. In that pact, we will wean ourselves off of foreign fuels and rely only upon those barrels we get from our friends and those that we drill ourselves. We need to push the fuel cell technologies for transportation. We need to build nuclear reactors to provide electricity, especially in our population centers, to prevent power outages that kill the young and old.

We have technology far superior to China and many other oil-drilling nations. Yet, China is drilling off the coast of Cuba, right in our backyard. We cannot sit idly by and let China's drilling suck out all the oil in the Gulf of Mexico seabed. Our technology is so advanced, thanks to the 'evil' oil companies, that we can be in and out of ANWR in setting up the drilling rigs and pipelines with virtually zero disruption to any species' mating seasons. In fact, the warmth of the pipelines in that area may create better survival and mating situations than with the current harsh winters.

We can be good stewards of the Earth and try to respect the beauty and fragility of the world's eco-systems. We have the ability. No matter what a person's stance is on the theory (YES, THEORY) of Global Warming, we can all agree that we should take better care of the planet. However, we must also take care of our economies and national security issues.

The Republican party desperately needs a rebranding. It might be wise for John McCain and the entire party to use the example in the great northwest and use the letters GOP as a catapoult to a rebranding. November 4, 2008, is D-Day for the GOP...D meaning either Do or Die...

My B. Hussein Obama Impression...

Let me see if I get close...I think I can give you the entire O-BOMB-A campaign in the following paragraphs. Let me know if I miss anything...

(Speaking as B.O.)

I believe that, together, we can change Washington. I believe that we need a change. We need to change for our future.

I believe in the future of America. I believe in our future. I believe that we can change and bring about a better future for America.

We need to stop the failed policies and end the war. We need to enact change in Washington. Together, a united America, can bring about the necessary change.

I believe my opponents, Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain, are terrific people. However, they are not part of the change I see for America. They have been in Washington too long. They are old. I am young and fresh! I want to creat change in Washington, and change the course of America.

I believe in our future, America, and I believe in changing our future for the better. I don't think we need the same faces in new places in Washington...except me, but I've only been there one term, which is long enough to see that we need change.

As President, I will meet with the leaders of our allies and our enemies to bring about change in our foreign policies. I believe in the future of the world as a whole. I believe that we can work with foreign leaders to bring about change in the world and change for the future.

Many of my opponents and their supporters will try to throw my good friend, Reverend Wright, out there to take away from our message of hope for the future. Reverend Wright has made many comments that people find offensive. Many will add my friendship and on-going contact with William Ayers, who has been credited with saying he is proud of being a part of bomb attacks on US interests, as proof of my lack of ability or qualifications to be President. Many will throw out my connections to Louis Farakhan, who has been accused of being racist and bigoted.

Let us not be swayed! Those people, the ones that name-drop to attempt to hurt my campaign, are the people who do not believe in change! They will distract you from the facts.

The facts that we are here to focus on are the future.......... for the future! That is why we are here! I believe in change! You believe in change! We all believe in change for our future! Our future is too important not to change. We have to work toward our future, because without our future, the present means nothing. And let me tell you, the future is coming. We can't stop it.

But I believe in it. I believe in America.

Send me to Washington and let us create some change!!!!

(End my B.O. voice)

Ok, so how does that sound? Sound like B.O.?

The Media Decides 2008

Well, the media won. The voting public was swayed and John McCain is the heir appearant to the Republican Nomination.

Mike Huckabee did nothing but play spoiler to the leading, true conservative Mitt Romney. If Huckabee had done the gracious thing and bow out like Thompson and Guliani, we would have a tight, two-man race. Instead Huckabee is hanging on till the bitter end.

My dream ticket of two conservatives in Mitt and Fred will not happen. Instead we will get a man who has publicly flirted with the idea of becoming a Democrat. But, how could he have made it were it not for the support of NBC, CBS, and ABC. They see him as one of them, a liberal on most social issues.

John McCain is a good man, a hero. He served and fought and was taken prisoner in Vietnam. Perhaps his military connections will give him the strength and wisdom to do the right thing by our national security and the safety of our troops abroad.

That is my one hope. That McCain will fight for our troops and not buckle to pressure from the left, as he did in McCain-Fiengold and McCain-Kennedy. I hope he can be a true leader and not a puppet for the left like he has been at times in the Congress.

I personally have mixed feelings about Ann Coulter coming out to say that she would campaign for and support Hillary if McCain gets the nomination. I can see her point that Hillary would be a 4 year debacle that could guarentee a resurgance of the conservative movement.

However, what sacrifices will we make in those four years? How many troops will be sacrificed as they are running out of Iraq? Who will die as a result of the terrorist attacks that we would be left vulnerable to?

On the other side, McCain could be nearly as bad. His constant flirting with the left is a scary idea. Can he be "The Sherriff" he claims to be? Or is he going to finally become a true republican and fight for the right? The fear is that if McCain fails, does that mean that the conservative movement will stall for 8, 12, or 16 years?

Only time will tell. All I know is that I am disappointed in the Republican party voters. I am truly disgusted with how Huckabee spoiled our chances at a conservative ticket. And, finally, I am cautiously hopeful that McCain will be loyal to the right if he is elected.

Playing with the Troops Funding for Political Gain

In case you live in a cave, by now you know that the Democrats in congress are using their positions to increase the mighty swing of their political bats by playing games with our troops' lives.

Our troops are dependent on funding for necessary equipment and training, which is an invaluable piece of legislation to have pass through Congress. So, our good Liberal friends decide to play games with the money and try to abuse their power, and even overstep their Constitutional powers, by trying to micromanage the war from Capitol Hill.

Not only have they weighed down the funding bill with nothing but pork and outrageous wasting of tax payer money, but have included a joke of a timeline for the war. They are trying to install a deadline for victory in the war and pull out. Guess what an official pull-out date does? Gives the enemy a date to celebrate their victory. YOU CANNOT SET A DATE TO WIN A WAR AND PULL OUT.

You know what would happen if we did that? Suddenly, miraculously, violence would decline...only rare, random fringe acts of violence would occur. Mostly, though, the war would seem won. Then, the democrats could claim THEIR legistlation won the war...then, when the last platoons of our troops are on their way out...when MoveOn.org, I mean the Democrats, well, they are one in the same since MoveOn.org is the puppet masters of John Kerry, Hillary "Fake Southern Accent" Clinton, John "Pretty Girl" Edwards, and Ted "Where is the bridge again?" Kennedy, and the rest of the libs, have gotten their way, their cry of defeat...just then, ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE.

Iraq will be invaded with a vengeance from Iran and Syria. Our last few platoons will be left out to dry and become target practice as the terrorists invade. Iraq will fall into a massive hysteria and violence...the streets of Baghdad will literally run red from the killing of men, women, and children. And the work and sacrifice of the thousands of troops who fought in this war will be wasted as we have to reinvade to try to save the world from third World War. But, it might be too late.

Sadly, most Americans will buy the garbage the liberals and the liberal media sell you. They will lie to you and tell you that we are on a brink of a world war due to Bush's war with Iraq, and the forced pull-out will have nothing to do with it.

Please, America, see what is going on. America's finest and bravest are being used as toys in a political power play by the democrats. It is sad, sick, and as traitorous as anything imaginable. Our troops deserve better...our troops shouldn't be gambled for political points...and we as Americans cannot let this ploy work.

It just disgusts me. Why anyone would support liberal thought is beyond me.

ALgore and the hypocrasy of the Liberal Left

To hear Al Gore and the left tell it, you and I average Americans are the only ones responsible for any possible pollution and damage to the Earth and this mystery called "Global Warming."

In 30 years, we went from a Global Cooling and possible Ice Age on the horizon to a Global Warming of catostrophic proportions. And it is you and my fault...and not anyone on the left.

And to compensate for our misuse and abuse of the Earth, they are now buying and selling Carbon Offsets.

What is a Carbon Offset? It is a deed or activity done to offset the damage done by one's carbon emmissions. You drive an SUV and emit so much carbon exhaust, you can pay a company to offset those emmissions by planting trees or "researching" ways to trap methane from cow flatulence...yes, you could offset your damage to the Earth by paying a company to figure out how to TRAP COW FARTS.

I am not a psychic, but I do see some cow emmissions...but its from a bull and its not in gaseous form, if you catch my drift.

Yet, with near unlimited financial resources and connections, these same preachers of the gospel of anti-carbon emmissions and carbon offset purchases, these same people do anything but try to lead by example. They drive their Hummers and Escalades and stretch limos...fly in private jets and private jumbo jets...air condition barns full of their own movie and personal memorabelia...air condition or heat empty homes that they stay in only once every so often. The cast of your average Hollywood production emits more carbon and pollution that the rest of the country combined...yet they dare preach to us.

The city of Hong Kong uses twice as much energy as the United States...yet why doesn't Al Gore fly there in his fuel-guzzling private jet to preach to them about carbon offsets? Why? Because the Chinese would see through his B.S. and laugh his psycho comb-over out of the country.
Yet here, Leo DiCaprio and Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn all jump on this bandwagon and cheer for the idea that paying a for-profit company to research trapping cow farts will offset their wasteful use of energy, gas, and other resources.

Why do people buy into the hypocrasy without question? I don't get why America doesn't tell these morons to shut up and get off my TV.

Party Of Obstruction

Well, gee, I thought the caped crusaders led by McCain and company settled all this with their "Compromise" with the democrats. I thought that the democrats and republicans eased tensions with the Magnificent Seven. I thought we could get things moving...

NOT!!

Instead, McCain and company sold out their party to the enemy. They are the enemy because the Republicans gave an inch, and now they are forcing that inch to be closer to a mile. Thank you McCain and Co. for selling out your party and in essence, taking away the momentum and power that the Republicans earned as a result of the past two elections.

Now, President Bush has to do one of two things. Either wait until Congress recesses for the summer and give Bolton the nomination to the UN at that point (which democrats and the liberal media are salivating for so they can once again try to paint a LEADER as a rogue president trying to force his agenda on the US and world). OR...President Bush must find a "suitable" nomination for the US ambassador to the UN. (I am guessing Jon Stewart or Michael Moore would be suitable by these liberals' standards.)

I would give the democrats some benefit of doubt if they would simply explain WHY they are being so obstructionist. I know why....but I want to hear legit excuses instead of "we don't know enough about him" or "he just isn't right." Come on. Seriously.

Bolton, like the many judicial nominees that the obstructionists filibustered and blocked from their rightful appointments, has only one fault...one reason for being held up in congress. That reason: they were nominated by George Bush.

It is the goal, pledge, solemn vow of the liberals in congress to drag their feet and slow progress as much as possible for the next four years. They want things to move so slowly Bush will not complete his agenda. They think that soundbites played over and over about a rogue president with a conservative agenda that will destroy America will back them up in their quest to halt the progress of the country.

The problem is, as far as liberals are concerned, the majority of voters in the United States aren't as dumb and dependant on the liberals in power as they'd like. The people who vote are clear thinking and actually think for themselves and do not let Michael Moore, Jon Stewart, Dan Blather, or the like determine their thoughts, feelings, and voting preference.

Unfortunately, it is still 18 months until we see the effects of the 2006 mid-terms. However, I do think there will be a lot of changes in that election. Incumbent seats may be lost on both sides. I think the Magnificent Seven may see some members sent home...and I think, overall, the Republicans will pick up more seats and run the Howard Deans and the like out of Washington.

However, we must remain on our toes. Hillary has been fairly quiet and out of a lot of the picture lately. Dean may be a planned patsy for the democrats....send Dean, Richard Durbin and the other loud mouths who are berating Bush, the war, and our troops....send them all out to get the soundbites so when Hillary runs, she'll end up looking like a moderate. Mark my words. She and the democrats are painting a portrait in which she will be looked at as moderate. God help us if people buy that story.
