Ron Paul calls it quits.

Posted on

Read about it Here

Of course there are some that are still living in denial.

To be honest, I kind of liked the old guy. I didn’t agree with everything that he said, But he was an interesting person.

His old school Conservatism appealed to me. Unlike the Neo-Con crap we’ve got now.

Anyhow, I feel for the many who gave to his campaign and didn’t get anything out of it.

I wish Rep. Ron Paul all the best in any future endeavors.

Bush endorses John McCain

Posted on

On one hand this endorsement will be a good thing, amongst hardcore Republicans. However, amongst the Independent voters and those who are not pleased with the Bush Administration, this is basically a death sentence.

The Story: Bush endorses John McCain for president (via MSNBC.COM)

President Bush endorsed Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain on Wednesday, two bitter rivals from the 2000 presidential race joining together now in hopes of preventing Democrats from winning the White House this fall.

"John showed incredible courage, strength of character and perseverance in order to get to this moment and that’s exactly what we need in a president — somebody who can handle the tough decisions, somebody who won’t flinch in the face of danger," Bush said, appearing with McCain in the Rose Garden.

The Video:

Again, while this may seem to be a great thing for John McCain and his campaign. To the Democrats, this is just fresh bait. For John McCain to say, "Yeah, I’ll let George W. Bush campaign for me!" is a death sentence amongst the Independent voters.

Because quite frankly, the President has like a 19% approval rating. You think Bush will be a helpmate to his Campaign? I highly doubt it. More like a paperweight!

I look for him to lose and lose hard, sorry to say it, But if the majority of America sees him as an extension of the current President, he doesn’t stand a chance in the general election.

The snort worth comment was the "I will tell him to be careful in who he has choose his running mate". A very funny reference to Dick Cheney. Bush’s dancing before the conference was quite funny too.

Before anyone calls me an Anti-Republican, please, hold your fire, I’m just a realist. I also have issues with the Democrats as well, especially Hillary.

Radio News Anchor quits job after News Director pulls her story.

Posted on

Via f-brilliant:

KKOB Radio afternoon drive time news anchor Laura MacCallum quit her job last Thursday after the station’s news director pulled her stories about alleged vote-buying efforts at the recent Bernalillo County Republican Party delegate nominating conventions.

MacCallum, a 32-year radio and TV news veteran who has worked in Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles, said the station caved to complaints from Congresswoman Heather Wilson’s Senate campaign about the stories. Wilson campaign spokeswoman Whitney Cheshire called the station to argue the unfairness of stories alleging that many delegates to the ward conventions were paid by Wilson’s and other campaigns to show up and cast their votes for certain delegates. – Read the Rest

Hmmmmm… Interesting story. Thinking

Should be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Yeah, I know it’s a gay title, but I thought it was funny. Tongue

The Story:  Blogging While Female (Via Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views))

 Every so often in the blogosphere, on the Left and the Right, hostile debates over gender seem to rise up to the surface like a leviathan from the depths. Some male bloggers tend to think women get more links because they’re women, some female bloggers think there’s some sort of a "good ol’ boys" club that keeps them from getting big, and more than a few people seem to get huffy about the whole debate.

However, the fact is that the issue is much more complex than it appears on the surface. The blogging experience ISN’T THE SAME for men and women. There are different advantages, disadvantages, and challenges that both men and women have to face.

I read two of the female Bloggers, Michelle Malkin and Rachel Lucas. Rachel Lucas is very, very, very, funny. I was shocked that they didn’t even mention Mary Katherine Ham, of whom I think is quite the looker. Ericka Andersen and Amanda Carpenter aren’t nothing to sneeze at either. Of course, I’m a 35 year old wrinkled up old fool and those ladies are like kids to me, so, all that’s just a faint dream for this old fart. Sad Ah well, such as life. Big Grin

Editorial: Is there a subtle message in the new Obama Video?

Posted on

Before I go any further, let me just say that I have absolutely no problem with an African-American being President. I think that it is wonderful, that we finally can, bury the "Jim Crow" racism that his scarred our much troubled past. I would much rather see someone who will not raise our taxes and promote the homosexual lifestyle and further the cause of the abortionists, but at this point, anything is better than the idiot we have in the White House now.

The fervor of Barack Obama is unbelievable, there is a new video out, that was made by one of his supporters and it is titled "We are the ones." It was made by an artist who goes by the professional name of "Will.I.Am." Previously, this same person made a video titled "Yes we can." I must confess, I enjoyed that video highly, it spoke of hope, and my friends in these hard times, especially here in Michigan, hope is all we got.

However, I am much highly concerned about the subtle message within this new video. I watched the video, I found out about from the guys over at HotAir.com. Granted, I do not always agree with what is written over there. However, there are times when I do. Anyhow, I watched this video, and the feeling I took away from this video was that minorities in this country feel that we white people in this country owe them something.

Now folks, I hate to sound like an old curmudgeon, but I personally do not feel that I owe any minorities anything at all. I am sorry, but I was not involved in any of the lynching that took place in the south, neither was any of my family members, that I know of.

The thing most offended me the most about this video is that about half of the people in the video were speaking in Spanish. Now the way I feel about it, if you are going to produce a video, that is singing the praises of an American politician, the very least that you can do, is have the people in the video speak in English!

The biggest message that I took away from this video was, "We’re Minorities, You Owe us!" That mentality my friend is a dangerous mentality. Of course, this is, pretty much, the mentality of the Liberals, the mentality of entitlement. You owe me.

I just wonder how long it will be, before the Liberals will enforce a "Jim Crow" tax to put on white people to give to the blacks for the sins of their forefathers. If you think it will not happen, think again, Liberals know no bounds, if you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

If Mr. "Will.I.Am" wants to make a pro-America video, make it with English speaking people, and lay off the "you owe me" overtones. But then again, we are dealing with Liberals here.

William Buckley has passed.

Posted on

William Buckley has passed. Go here to read the various Blog postings about it.

I wrote a special editorial about it.  I wish it could have been more in depth, But I really didn’t have a intimate knowledge of the guy. I worked with that which I had to draw from.

I will say this. I have read some of the Blog reactions about the passing of the man. Most were decent, but some, quite frankly, were downright nasty. These people are bastards, all of them. Angry

Why do I say this? I unwittingly insulted the dead wife of a man. To this day, I still feel horrible about it.  How these soulless bastards can do this sort of a thing, intentionally, and sleep at night, is quite beyond me. It’s uncalled for, it cheapens the discourse and quite frankly, it ruins the creditability of the Blogging World. 

Rest in Peace, Mr. Buckley. You have earned your eternal reward.

Speaking of Stupid

Posted on

This crap here, is just totally wrong.

What do I mean? Because it cheapens the Political debate.

Is saying someone’s full name, racism? No.

Is saying someone’s full name to imply that he’s a closet Muslim, and working with terrorists to overthrow the country? Yes.

Why else would this idiot say that?

Good for John McCain for apologizing for this man’s foolishness.

So Much for the Obama Hillary Love-in!

"No Fair! The Magic Negro is picking on me! Waaaah!"

Egad, It went from "We’ll be okay", to "I want to rip his friggin’ head off!", in the space of 48 Hours.

Wow.

I guess she blew her stack over some mailers that went out in Ohio. Here’s what the Obama camp said about it:

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said his campaign looked forward "to having a debate this Tuesday on the facts, and the facts are that Sen. Clinton was a supporter of NAFTA and the China permanent trade treaties until this campaign began. "

"And she herself has said that under the Clinton health care plan, she would consider ‘going after the wages’ of Americans who don’t purchase health insurance, whether they can afford it or not," he added.

You all know me, I do not mince words on this Blog. I tell it straight out like it is. I always have. I do not discriminate against any. So, in continuing with that tradition, I am just going to say this:

Hillary, This is politics. It’s the damn real world.  If you cannot handle the heat sweetheart, then take your sorry behind, back to New York, or Arkansas or wherever the heck you live, and leave this politics business to the grow ups.

I find it very amusing, that every time someone calls this feckless closet lesbian to the carpet. She either cries and throws a hissy fit. 

Isn’t it quite obvious to the rest of the world, that this woman isn’t fit to the President of United States? 

and also, In case anyone has forgotten, this feckless idiot is also being investigated for wrong doing in a case as well.

The Video says it all:

Here’s hoping she finally pulls out of the race and we get a President that is honest. Unlike this criminal.

Sometimes the idiots make it too easy….

The Story: Bush admin: U.S. has ‘lost intelligence’ (via Politico.com)

The Bush administration informed Congress on Friday that the government has “lost intelligence” because of the expiration of surveillance legislation caught in a political tug of war.

“We have lost intelligence information this past week as a direct result of the uncertainty created by Congress’ failure to act,” says an underlined passage of a six-page letter signed by Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and Director of National Intelligence J. Michael McConnel

I think Keith Olbermann’s Words sum it up for me. I’m referring to the last one on this video… Big Grin

Obama catching sand over a comment.

Posted on

Whoa Boy… Obama is catching grief over a comment made at the debates.

Mostly from the far right wing nuts, who refuse to believe that our Military is nothing short of perfect.

Some people need to really look into getting real.

Even some of the comments on the Wing Nut Blogs even ADMIT that they were using enemy weapons and bullets.

But let a Liberal diss our Military?!?!?! Off with his Negro head! Surprise

For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk  (via New York Times)

Early in Senator John McCain’s first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers.

A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client’s corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself — instructing staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity.

This could be big. Although, I highly doubt it. why? Because the story lacks substance. There’s no direct accusation.

Hey, at least she’s pretty. But have you seen his wife?

Now, why in the world, would he want to cheat, on someone who looks like her?

It just don’t make any sense… I dont know

I seriously doubt the Democrats will even touch this. I could see some of the younger guys, But McCain?!!? Nah! Not him.

Ann Coulter’s credit card…..denied?

"Whoa! I paid my bill! I think!"

This is absolutely hilarious!

STRICTLY CASH – New York Post

ANN Coulter suffered a serious embarrassment over the weekend when her credit card was declined in Palm Beach. According to our spy, the nutty arch-conservative was caught at 9:45 p.m. Saturday night in the 10 Items or Less line at the local Publix when her card was rejected. "She was embarrassed but didn’t make a scene," our witness said. "She just paid with cash and ran out of there. But at least she’s eating."

Little miss, "I’m richer than you and proud of it"’s Credit card, declined?!?!?! Holy Cow!

Two Words. Comedy Gold.

It can not be any worse than her serious screw up Canada’s involvement with Vietnam, on National Canadian TV! Rolling on the floor

Obama is a Plagiarist

Posted on

Now this does not surprise me a bit at all…

The Story: Obama Caught Plagiarizing 2006 Speech? (H/T to NYT)

Quote:

Big Head DC has discovered alarming similarities between a speech made by Sen. Barack Obama on February 16 while campaigning for president in Wisconsin and an October 2006 speech made by Deval Patrick, the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts. The coincidences would seem to indicate that Obama copied several lines and linguistic speech patterns from Patrick’s “Just Words” speech for Obama’s own “Words Matter” speech. Indeed, words do matter. And they matter even more when they are one’s own words.

Interesting. Wasn’t another famous black leader accused of this as well?

Seems the "Magic Negro" doesn’t have a creative bone in his body.

When are people going to wake up and see this guy for what he really is, and that’s a inexperienced, snotty nosed, Negro punk, who’s trying to ride on the shoulders of Martin Luther King Jr. into the White House.

If Conservatives vote for him, it will be the death of this country. Period. I’m not for Hillary at all, and McCain is a fake too. But this is just too much.

Breaking News: Obama is being accused of gay sex and drug use…..

Posted on4 Comments

This could get big, if it’s true…..

Sleaze charge: ‘I took drugs, had homo sex with Obama’ (via WorldNetDaily.com)

The electrifying presidential campaign of Barack Obama faces a new challenge – a Minnesota man who claims he took cocaine in 1999 with the then-Illinois legislator and participated in homosexual acts with him.

The Video in Question:

At first I thought, “Nah…”, But, Why would someone get on Youtube, and admit that they’re gay? and say something like this, if it’s not true. I mean, after all, we do not know much about Obama, except for his very sanitized website.

This does warrant more investigation.

Update: From the feedback I am getting, this could very well possibly be a hoax. But I am leaving up the post, just an case. Some are saying that the Hillary camp might be behind this. Although, I doubt it.

Update: May 10, 2008 – This man ended up taking a lie detector test and failing. See here for more info….. and hello to the ladies in the forum debating this!

Republicans have lost their minds….

There should be a law against this sort of blatant stupidity.

Right slams Obama as ‘shady Chicago socialist’ (Via Times Online)

LEADING Republicans believe they can trounce Barack Obama in the presidential election by tarring him as a shady Chicago socialist. They are increasingly confident that his campaign could collapse by the time their attack machine has finished with him.

Grover Norquist, an influential conservative tax reform lobbyist, said: “Barack Obama has been able to create his own image and introduce himself to voters, but the swing voters in a general election are not paying attention yet. He is open to being defined as a leftwing, corrupt Chicago politician.”

Not only will this not work. But if it’s taken too much to an extreme, could really come back to bite the Republicans in the rear. One only need to go to Wikipedia to get a list of the MANY scandals that have happened during the George W. Bush Presidential Administration. Some say his stint as President was the worst ever.  I cannot say that I disagree with that.

So, I mean, they can go this route, But I would not suggest it. It would be totally disastrous for the party. 

Of course, there are some that are saying, that this is all a doing of Hillary or at least she is loving it. This would not surprise me in the least. However, I don’t think that she is directly involved, I think it is the work of an over zealous, right wing fringe. 

It should be a very interesting election year. I will be here covering it all.
