Say Goodbye Willard!

Willard Mitt Romney goes off on a AP Reporter.

He’ll pay for that in the caucus. You don’t act like a jerk to Media and get away with it. They will bury you.

Video Via MSNBC:

 

Oh yeah, He’s a jerk. Say goodbye to this hosehead.

The Main Stream "Liberal" and otherwise, media will bury him for this.

Update: I guess he does have a lobbyist on his staff and He HAS gotten paid. This comes via Frameshop:

However, a simple search of Romney’s recent campaign expense filings found these two entries:

  • Dec. 3, 2007 -  a payment of "$300" by the Romney campaign to "Kaufman, Ronald."
  • Oct. 19, 2007 – a payment of  "$100" to "Dutko World Wide."

D’oh! So, so much for the truth.

Huckabee vows to send ’em all home.

Two Words.

Huckabee vows to send all illegal aliens home (via Washington Times)

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee yesterday continued to move to the right on immigration during this year’s presidential campaign, signing a pledge to enforce immigration laws and to make all illegal aliens go home.

The pledge, offered by immigration control advocacy group Numbers USA, commits Mr. Huckabee to oppose a new path to citizenship for current illegal aliens and to cut the number of illegal aliens already in the country through attrition by law enforcement — something Mr. Huckabee said he will achieve through his nine-point immigration plan.

Yeah Right. I don’t buy it. Neither does Michelle Malkin.

Bad News for Hillary in Michigan

This isn’t much of a surprise to me….

Bad News for Hillary in Michigan (Via CNN)

Even so, roughly 70 percent of Michigan’s African-American voters — a group that makes up a quarter of Michigan’s Democratic electorate — did not cast their votes for Clinton, choosing the “uncommitted” option instead. Yet these voters weren’t uncommitted at all: in fact, according to CNN exit polls, they overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama, whose name did not appear on the ballot.

Had Obama’s name been on the Michigan ballot, CNN exit polls show that he would have won an overwhelming 73 percent of the African-American vote, in contrast to 22 percent who say they would have voted for Clinton under those circumstances.

The reason why this does not come as much of a surprise to me, is because Michigan is a very liberal State. I know, I’ve lived here all my life. Obama not only speaks to Liberals, He speaks to the African-American Community as well. He’s their man. He represents their community. There’s nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, I think it’s an awesome thing myself. It shows that finally, after all the years of bigotry and insecurity in this country about blacks, came to a place where a African-American can run for President and be accepted by the general public as a whole. 

I like him, mainly, because he represents change, I’m not too keen on some of his "Liberal" policies, when it comes to national security. I mean, I believe in peace, but I don’t believe in selling out America’s security in the process. But anything has got to be better than George W. Bush’s cowboy way of diplomacy. His "Billy Bad Ass" idea of getting along with other nations, is why we’re in the current situation in Iraq.

I was sort of hoping that Edwards would pull out of third place and overtake the other two candidates, But I do not believe that is going to happen. It would be very nice, But I doubt he has the support, money, or momentum to do so.

So, most likely, I, like every other person who votes Democrat in Michigan, will vote for whomever the party chooses for their candidate.

Get out and Vote!

ivoted

My question is, Did you?

I’ve always said, anyone who doesn’t get out and vote, has no right to complain about the way things are ran in Washington D.C.

It is a part of our Democratic process and it is one of the privileges as United States Citizens.

No matter which side you are voting for, that doesn’t matter, what matters is, that YOU ARE DOING IT!

What are you still sitting there for!?!?!?!?!  GET OUT AND VOTE!

This has just gone beyond stupid.

I’m referring to this.

Yes, there’s primary here. and No, I am NOT voting for Her!

She can go to hell. I’m voting uncommitted or "other".

If she gets the nomination, I will hold my nose and vote Republican.

I’m all for Progressive Thought and for "Change" as they call it. But I am not for causing division of the Black Race, which is what Hillary is doing and yes, I think it’s crapAngry

I hope like hell she loses and ends up being HIS Vice-President!

Like I said in the title, this whole damn thing as gone well beyond the realm of stupid.

Political Slam of the Day…..

Ouch!

BET Founder Slams Obama in South Carolina – The Caucus – Politics – New York Times Blog

“That is the way the legislative process works in this nation and that takes political leadership,” he said. “That’s all Hillary was saying.”

He then added: “And to me, as an African-American, I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues since Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood –­ and I won’t say what he was doing, but he said it in the book –­ when they have been involved.”

Moments later, he added: “That kind of campaign behavior does not resonate with me, for a guy who says, ‘I want to be a reasonable, likable, Sidney Poitier ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.’ And I’m thinking, I’m thinking to myself, this ain’t a movie, Sidney. This is real life.”

I just wonder if this campaign in the end will end up doing more to divide the black community, than it will to unite it. Socialism does that. Big Grin

Hillary and Obama Slug it out….

The Blogging World is quite abuzz about the slugfest that his happening between Obama and Hillary.

Here’s Hillary’s appearance on Meet the Press, Judge for yourself:

Personally I think she’s just defending herself against Obama’s camp. But I could be wrong. I don’t support her campaign or anything, I feel she’s just a hold over from Bill Clinton’s day myself. But I digress.

Score one for Dubya…..

I knew this was coming.

Sorry, Barack, You’ve lost Iraq. By Michael Hirsh (via Newsweek)

Camp Arifjan in the desert kingdom of Kuwait, America’s depot to the Iraq war, feels about as far away as you can get from South Carolina, Super Tuesday and the election-year squabbles back home. And George W. Bush, who is currently midway through his six-nation tour of the Mideast, is doing a good job of distancing himself from the politics of 2008. But as Bush rallied U.S. troops at the base here on Saturday with a "Hoo-ah" and conferred with his Iraq dream team, Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, he indicated that he was setting in motion policies that could dramatically affect the presidential race–and any decisions the next president makes in 2009.

Yep, we were warned that he was going to do this and he did.

More:

Most significant of all, the new partnership deal with Iraq, including a status of forces agreement that would then replace the existing Security Council mandate authorizing the presence of the U.S.-led multinational forces in Iraq, will become a sworn obligation for the next president. It will become just another piece of the complex global security framework involving a hundred or so countries with which Washington now has bilateral defense or security cooperation agreements. Last month, Sen. Hillary Clinton urged Bush not to commit to any such agreement without congressional approval. The president said nothing about that on Saturday, but Lute said last fall that the Iraqi agreement would not likely rise to the level of a formal treaty requiring Senate ratification. Even so, it would be difficult if not impossible for future presidents to unilaterally breach such a pact.

You didn’t think that ol’ Dubya was going to leave office and let them mean ol’ Democrat Liberals ruin his war game did you? Rolling Eyes

and the most telling of all:

The upshot is that the next president, Democrat or Republican, is likely to be handed a fait accompli that could well render moot his or her own elaborate withdrawal plans, especially the ones being considered by the two leading Democratic contenders, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Obama, undeterred by the reported success of Bush’s surge, is pushing ahead with his plans for a brigade-a-month withdrawals that would remove the U.S. military presence entirely. If current Defense Secretary Robert Gates can draw down to, say, 12 brigades by 2009, a senior Obama adviser told me Friday, "then we can get the rest out in eight to 10 months."

But Bush may have the upper hand now. The president touted the surge’s success on Saturday, and he reiterated that "long-term success will require active U.S. engagement that outlasts my presidency." The "enduring relationship" he is building with Iraq, Bush added, "will have diplomatic, economic and security components–similar to relationships we have with Kuwait and other nations in this region and around the world." Some of those relationships have now lasted decades. And as in Japan, Germany, Korea and Kuwait, they include a substantial troop presence. Far away in the Persian Gulf, Bush is creating facts on the ground that the next president may not be able to ignore.

Score one for Dubya, Checkmate.

Have Conservatives just given up?

January 12, 2008

Have Conservatives just given up?

 

Nobody likes to lose; it is a common trait among human beings. We all love being winners. We all like winning the prize; some are just down right obsessive about it. If you do not believe me, you can stop by your nearest ball field or sports arena, you’ll see enough testosterone and obsession with winning to last you a lifetime.

However, I happened to have been reading articles by Rudy Takala and Dr. W.R. Marshall, Ph.D and by reading these articles, I get the impression that they must believe that the Democrats have already won the White House and both houses of Congress, and the G.O.P. had been dissolved. Last time I checked, we were only in the Primaries. The General election had not been started yet.

Yes, Barack Obama does seem to be the candidate on the left that has been made the darling of the liberal media. However, Obama has not answered questions, as to how he is going to make this so called “change” that he speaks of. He only has spoken in generalities, not in specifics. I believe that if the Conservative candidates for President want to beat the Democrats in the election in 2008, they need to stop bickering amongst themselves over minor policy differences, rally behind one of these candidates, and take Obama to task on his policy intentions.

As a right of center voter, I do truly believe change is needed, in the White House, (Unlike Mitt Romney!) and in Washington DC as a whole. However, I do not believe that this change should involved raising my taxes to make this change possible! While I do believe that, we do need jobs in this country, and more specifically in this state here, (I live in Michigan) I do not believe that we need to steal money out of the hands of successful business men, who have worked hard all their lives to make their fortunes to make this happen.

I mean, I, technically, would be considered in the poor class economically, but the last thing that I would want to do is demand that someone who has worked hard for his money, surrender it to me. I am sorry, that, my friend is not the American way that is called highway robbery and outright socialism. I might not be as well off as some, but I do not expect those who are well off to give me their money. I believe that if you want to be rich, you ought to work for it and earn it, like everyone else. I mean, sure, I would love to be a rich syndicated writer, like Ann Coulter, but do I expect Ann Coulter to give me her wealth so that I can be? No! She has earned her wealth, by writing and by being a lawyer. She went to school to be a lawyer. Her good looks did not hurt either, but that is not the issue here. (tee hee)

The issue is that Republicans candidates need to stop the stupidity, and debate the issues at hand. The Republican candidates weed out the cranks, like Ron Paul and get down to the business of serious politics, why Ron Paul has been allowed to continue this far, is very much beyond me. The fact that Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani are even still running, shows that there is just too much dissent in the Republican Party. I say let us pick 3 out of the top runners and let the rest to go home.

We do need change, but we do not need the change that the Liberal Democrats want to bring to America, by negotiating with terrorists, raising taxes, and giving hand outs to everything from former slaves to Iraqi suicide bombers.

If Conservatives are going to win, this is what needs to happen.

Clintons try and suck up to Black people after Bill’s stupid remark

I love it when people get caught being stupid and then have to try and talk their way out of it.

Clintons Move to Tamp Down Criticism From Blacks About Recent Comments – New York Times

The Clinton campaign moved Friday to try to quell a potentially damaging reaction to recent comments by Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton that have drawn criticism from African-Americans just as the presidential primary campaign reached Southern states with significant numbers of black voters.

In a call on Friday to Al Sharpton’s nationally syndicated talk radio show, Mr. Clinton said that his “fairy tale” comment on Monday about Senator Barack Obama’s position on the Iraq war was being misconstrued, and that he was talking only about the war, not about Mr. Obama’s overarching message or his drive to be the first black president.

“There’s nothing fairy tale about his campaign,” Mr. Clinton said. “It’s real, strong, and he might win.”

Lying idiot. He knows what he did and now Bill Clinton is trying to suck up to the Black community. I think that the African-American community needs to send Billary a message. We don’t want your cracker butt being our President. We want change, we want a new vision, we want someone who will unite and not divide. We want Obama.

The quicker the African American Community gets together and does this, the better. I say. The Clinton’s did NOT being change in America, at all, they simply rode the wave of success of the Previous Administrations. The only thing that the Clinton’s gave us was NAFTA, A disgraced White House and Waco and Ruby Ridge.

I say the quicker the Democrats drop slick willy and his ugly assed wife, the better!

Everybody loves John McCain?……..Think again.

Seems that John McCain’s support of Amnesty is coming back to bite him in the behind. 

Senator John McCain Accused of Selling Out Law Enforcement – (via NewsWithViews.Com’s News Dept)

The news media and Republican Party bigwigs may be happy with a John McCain candidacy for President of the United States come this November, but a lot of law enforcement officers will probably sit out election day if McCain is the GOP presidential candidate.

United States Border Patrol agents are not happy with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) since he voted for the Amnesty Bill (S. 2611). And they’re not being quiet about their collective anger over the senator’s actions and remarks.

According to members of the agents’ union Local 2544, Senator McCain has never been a friend to rank-and-file Border Patrol agents. Local 2544 represents US Border Patrol agents in Arizona, McCain’s home state.

This ought to be a lesson to these politicians, that you cannot break away from the principles of Conservatism and get away with it. You’d think that these knuckleheads would have learned this with Bush and Co., I guess not.

ABC News reports and Moonbats abound.

Strange.

Voices on Recording May Not Have Been From Iranian Speedboats (Via ABC NEWS.COM

Just two days after the U.S. Navy released the eerie video of Iranian speedboats swarming around American warships, which featured a chilling threat in English, the Navy is saying that the voice on the tape could have come from the shore or from another ship

The near-clash occurred over the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz. On the U.S.-released recording, a voice can be heard saying to the Americans, "I am coming to you. You will explode after a few minutes."

The Navy never said specifically where the voices came from, but many were left with the impression they had come from the speedboats because of the way the Navy footage was edited.

Today, the spokesperson for the U.S. admiral in charge of the Fifth Fleet clarified to ABC News that the threat may have come from the Iranian boats, or it may have come from somewhere else.

We’re saying that we cannot make a direct connection to the boats there," said the spokesperson. "It could have come from the shore, from another ship passing by. However, it happened in the middle of all the very unusual activity, so as we assess the information and situation, we still put it in the total aggregate of what happened Sunday morning. I guess we’re not saying that it absolutely came from the boats, but we’re not saying it absolutely didn’t."

I must confess, I had my doubts about the voice recording myself. But I was nowhere near this Moonbat here:

If a bully stands outside your house with rocks and a baseball bat and you’ve seen them break your next door neighbours windows with rocks and the previous owner of the house had their windows broken by the same bully throwing rocks, would you let them throw rocks at your windows or would you confront them? Who is threatening who in this scenario? FDR provoked Japan into attacking the fleet at Pearl Harbour so that international bankers and arms manufacturers could get their hands on US money through war loans and the interest repayments as profit from WWII. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident (which I notice no warmongers have mentioned) was fabricated by the same aforementioned international bankers & arms manufacturers as the pretext for more profits in an unnecessary & unwinnable war in Vietnam. The same agents provocateurs armed Saddam Hussien to the teeth then invited him to retake Kuwait into the pre-WWI borders of Iraq as a pretext for GWI. GWII (The Invasion) was already in the pipeline along with the forced removal of the Taliban/AlQuaida (both of which were created by the CIA incidentally) and 9/11 was the excuse for that. Iran was a peaceful nation ruled by Mosadek who was ousted by the CIA and then ruled tyranically by the Shah (MI6 & CIA stooge), The Iranians then bravely took their destiny & freedom into their own hands & got rid of him, for which the CIA/international bankers/MI6/arms manufacturers never forgave them… Iran has a LOT of oil. BTW the wiretaps 6 months before 9/11 were to find out if anyone had found out about the plans to REALLY fly planes into the WTC, the Pentagon and Congress, not just the cover excersizes. Martial Law would have been implemented had the Military obayed orders to allow Flight 93 to continue on it’s diabolical mission. They shot it down and the world was saved from the prospect of God only knows!

To Shuck and Jive

Ouch! This will come to bite Hillary in the behind.

And Cuomo Too (Updated)

”It’s not a TV crazed race. Frankly you can’t buy your way into it,” Cuomo said. “You can’t shuck and jive at a press conference,” he added. “All those moves you can make with the press don’t work when you’re in someone’s living room.”

Sounds like someone’s got a problem with black people.

In cause you’re wondering  This is what "shuck and jive" means:

"To shuck and jive" originally referred to the intentionally misleading words and actions that African-Americans would employ in order to deceive racist Euro-Americans in power, both during the period of slavery and afterwards. The expression was documented as being in wide usage in the 1920s, but may have originated much earlier.

"Shucking and jiving" was a tactic of both survival and resistance. A slave, for instance, could say eagerly, "Oh, yes, Master," and have no real intention to obey. Or an African-American man could pretend to be working hard at a task he was ordered to do, but might put up this pretense only when under observation. Both would be instances of "doin’ the old shuck ‘n jive."

Something tells me this is going to get bigger before the day is out.

Others Agree.

Editorial: No, It is not a fake

January 10, 2008

 

Editorial: No, It is not a fake

It could never be said that I could be accused of being a water carrier or a cheerleader for this current Presidential Administration.  I am about as close to being a water carrier for the Republican Party as Madalyn Murray O’Hair was a missionary to Christianity.  However, I find myself being greatly offended by those, who actually call themselves American citizens, you know, those on the more Liberal side of the political fence, who claim that they support our troops?

Yesterday, I was looking at my usual source for news stories that are hot in the Blogging world, and I happen to come across a story that basically accuses our Military of lying about producing a video that shows our Military being taunted by Iran’s revolutionary guard.  Frankly, the very idea that our Military personnel would risk their careers to produce fraudulent material for the purpose of political gain is laughable to those of us who live in the real world.  I really do believe that Mr. Hooman Majd should really look into getting a job working for Alex Jones; it could only help his rather flimsy resume.

Not to mention with a last name like that, it is quite obvious which side he has taken in this war on terror that does exist in this country, despite the attempt by the far left to pretend that it does not even exist.  While I am more progressive minded conservative, I find myself increasingly disappointed by the lunatic fringe mentality of the Liberals in this country.  The reason for this, is it makes us more “Middle of the Road” type people look stupid, I mean, I am as disappointed in this President as anyone, but my gosh, has the factual reasoning of the American people as whole collectively gone out the window?

I can hear the screams of the far left, “But look what Bush has done!” and I understand where they are coming from, Yes, our President was wrong, his intelligence people were totally wrong, they have admitted this, time and time again.  However, to sit and accuse the United States Military of aiding and abetting the President in some sort of political scheme is borderline treason, in my humble opinion.

Barack Hussein Obama, Johnny Reid Edwards, and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton all say that they want to bring change in this Country.  Let me be the first to suggest to these people that the first thing they need to do, is to speak to the far left lunatic fringe within the Democrat Party and tell them to stop dragging our Military into their collective political bitch with the Government.  I can understand the complaints that they have with the politics in Washington D.C., but for the sake of Almighty God, leave our men and women in uniform the hell out of it, please.

Michelle Malkin,

I bet we could make your cry for real. Force you to eat a hamburger.

I often wonder what will happen when we progressive liberal adults take back our country.

The adults will stop wars for oil,
Everyone will have health care.
Everyone will have a roof over their heads.
Everyone will have a voice in our government.
Everyone will pay equal taxes.

The Republican Party will be a quaint memory to tell our children about.

The best part is someday you will die of anorexia or choke to death on your own purging. That’s my dream.

Thank you,

Michelle Says:

For those who know me, the trouble isn’t getting me to start eating hamburgers. The trouble is getting me to stop. ;)

While the first part is quite funny and the middle section is just typical far lefty liberal loon hatemonger crap, that last part is just totally uncalled far. You know, I can see disagreeing with her political views, as I do, in some ways, as I am not 100% Republican, But wishing for someone’s death, that’s just totally uncalled for. This is in the same league as making the very nasty comments about Ann Coulter over on DIGG.COM about her Father passing, of which I promptly reported and I hope they do the right and proper thing and terminate their accounts.

Of course from what some of Michelle’s commenter’s are reporting this guy has an interesting background. Here’s hoping he is fired from his job and is shunned by the general public for his tasteless insult to a Woman. Because not only is in the realm of tasteless, but it also smacks of Racism as well, I mean, would he have said all that if she were White? It is to wonder.

Ann Coulter’s Father Passes

I realize that there’s many Liberals and some Conservatives who dislike Ann Coulter, But this is a truly a sad story. Ann’s Father passed away.

John Vincent Coulter By Ann Coulter (via HUMAN EVENTS)

The longest baby ever born at the Albany, N.Y., hospital, at least as of May 5, 1926, who grew up to be my strapping father, passed away last Friday morning.

You know, in the past, I’ve given Ann Coulter royal hell for stuff she’s said in her columns. But I believe this transcends politics, Losing a family member  is very tragic event. You never are able to prepare yourself for it, you just deal with it as it comes. I am quite lucky to have my Mother and Father still with me here, I live with them. I’ve never been able to afford moving out on my own, Due to some mistakes that I made when I was younger. While there are times, when both of my parents totally drive me up the proverbial wall. I still love them and could not even imagine my life without them.

However, I have resigned myself to the fact that my Mother and Father both will have to leave the surly bounds of this Earth one day to go to both of their Eternal rewards. This is why that I, to the best of my ability, cherish each and every day that I have with my parents. Being the only child, I am truly, all that they have. This is why I never took that "over the road" truck job that I have been offered time and time again. I cannot just abandon my parents. I just couldn’t sleep at night being away from them and knowing that they were alone and without me. People have teased me for being a "Home Body". Well, the only thing I can truly say is, when it’s all you’ve got. You tend to look at things a little differently.

All the best to Ann and her family, during this time of loss.

Breaking News: Gov. Bill Richardson to Drop out of Race

Gov. Bill Richardson to drop out of Race says AP (Via Townhall.com

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ended his campaign for the presidency Wednesday after twin fourth-place finishes that showed his impressive credentials could not compete with his rivals’ star power.

Richardson planned to announce the decision Thursday, according to two people close to the governor with knowledge of the decision. They spoke on a condition of anonymity in advance of the governor’s announcement.

The Richardson campaign would not comment on the governor’s decision, reached after a meeting with his top advisers Wednesday in New Mexico.

I hate to see it, I hate to see this guy go. I believe he was one of the more qualified persons for the job. But he was shut out due to his lack to star power.

I wish Gov. Richardson all the best in future endeavors.

Update: Richardson’s Camp Deny’s the report
