Bush endorses John McCain
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.

The Polls say….
That Hillary might take a state tonight. Although, I tend to believe that Obama will very fare much better.
McCain might sew it up tonight as well.
Should be interesting…
(H/T Memeorandum)
Twas the day before the Primary…..
….and all though the land, the Primary race, was too close to call.
It’s going to be an interesting day tomorrow.
I think Obama is going to surprise the pundits again.

The World’s Ugliest Woman, Stumps for Billary.
and…. Insults John McCain in the process…. (Not that he’s any better, but!)
The Story: Stumping for Clinton, Steinem Says McCain’s P.O.W. Cred Is Overrated (Via The New York Observer)
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem took to the stump on Hillary Clinton’s behalf here last night and quickly proved that she has lost none of her taste for provocation.
From the stage, the 73-year-old seemed to denigrate the importance of John McCain’s time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. In an interview with the Observer afterward, she suggested that Barack Obama benefits—and Clinton suffers—because Americans view racism more seriously than sexism.
Steinem also told the crowd that one reason to back Clinton was because “she actually enjoys conflict.”
My gawd, this woman was uglier than crap back in the day and she’s STILL uglier than sin. 
I’m not much one in to wishing death on people, but when this feckless broad goes tits up, I won’t shed a damn tear, at all.
And, how exactly has this broad really served her country? Besides by promoting Lesbianism and all other sort of Liberal ire?

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

Screamin’ and Swoonin’
Here’s a brilliant opinion piece asking a very good question…..:
We Scream, We Swoon. How Dumb Can We Get? (via washingtonpost.com)
Here’s Agence France-Presse reporting on a rally for Sen. Barack Obama at the University of Maryland on Feb. 11: "He did not flinch when women screamed as he was in mid-sentence, and even broke off once to answer a female’s cry of ‘I love you, Obama!’ with a reassuring ‘I love you back.’ " Women screamed? What was this, the Beatles tour of 1964? And when they weren’t screaming, the fair-sex Obama fans who dominated the rally of 16,000 were saying things like: "Every time I hear him speak, I become more hopeful." Huh? – Read the Rest
Some hate it, some call it sexist. I think it’s funny and says much of what I’ve been saying about the whole Obama craziness.
If the Bloggers are not liking it. It must be good.

Unless Obama Wins, He Loses (via Marc Ambinder)

RE: Obama Must-Wins
The media has anointed Barack Obama the presumptive nominee and he’s playing the part.
With an eleven state winning streak coming out of February, Senator Obama is riding a surge of momentum that has enabled him to pour unprecedented resources into Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont.
The Obama campaign and its allies are outspending us two to one in paid media and have sent more staff into the March 4 states. In fact, when all is totaled, Senator Obama and his allies have outspent Senator Clinton by a margin of $18.4 million to $9.2 million on advertising in the four states that are voting next Tuesday.
Senator Obama has campaigned hard in these states. He has spent time meeting editorial boards, courting endorsers, holding rallies, and – of course – making speeches.
If he cannot win all of these states with all this effort, there’s a problem.
Should Senator Obama fail to score decisive victories with all of the resources and effort he is bringing to bear, the message will be clear:
Democrats, the majority of whom have favored Hillary in the primary contests held to date, have their doubts about Senator Obama and are having second thoughts about him as a prospective standard-bearer.
Scratch that title, in this case, She’s moving the whole damn BALL FIELD! Spin? More like a tornado.
She’s in free fall, someone get a better get her a parachute!

Hillary says, "if I don’t win, I’ll sue!"
This is unbelievable!
State Democrats say Clinton camp may sue (Via Houston Chronicle)
The Texas Democratic Party warned Thursday that election night caucuses scheduled for Tuesday could be delayed or disrupted after aides to Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened to sue over the party’s complicated delegate selection process.
In a letter sent out late Thursday to both the Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns, Texas Democratic Party lawyer Chad Dunn warned a lawsuit could ruin the Democrats’ effort to re-energize voters just as they are turning out in record numbers.
Spokesmen for both campaigns said there were no plans to sue ahead of the March 4 election.
"It has been brought to my attention that one or both of your campaigns may already be planning or intending to pursue litigation against the Texas Democratic Party," Dunn wrote in the letter, obtained by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "Such action could prove to be a tragedy for a reinvigorated Democratic process."
Of course, the Clinton Campaign is denying this, but, this is total crap. She’s not getting her way, and She threatens to sue. What a feckless bitch!
I cannot believe this woman, she knows no bounds. I can see why the Conservatives hate her so much, I’m right of Center, and I cannot stand her. Her husband disgraced the White House and Now, she’s trying to disgrace the political process!
Hillary, GO HOME!

Hillary Does LBJ or Mondale
This use of the aspect of fear to try to get herself elected, is taken right out of playbook of Karl Rove.
"It’s 3:00am and your children are asleep," a voice over says in the ad entitled "Children". "There’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing. Something is happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call."
"Whether someone knows the world’s leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready to lead. It’s 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?" the ad concludes.
Obama Shoots back:
"The question is not about picking up the phone," Obama said. "The question is: what kind of judgment will you make when you answer? We’ve had a ‘red phone moment’. It was the decision to invade Iraq. And Senator Clinton gave the wrong answer. George Bush gave the wrong answer. John McCain gave the wrong answer."
Obama is correct. At least Obama didn’t vote for the war. Hillary did, she cannot counter that charge. Personally, I’m absolutely insulted that this feckless bitch would try and pull the terror card. That’s a bunch of bull. She should work for McCain, because she is playing his tune.
Hillary is grasping for some sort of relevance in this campaign. As far as I am concerned, she had used up that platform. She needs to stop before she looses what little dignity she has left, and that is not much, as it is.

The Obama NAFTA Flap.
This is borderline silly, No, it’s beyond mentally depraved.
My Question is, why the hell would someone get on National TV and say something and not really mean it? That’s about the most absurd thing, I’ve ever read in my entire life.
Of course, absurdity is about the norm in the world of politics in this day and age, isn’t it?
My take on the Debates….
Okay, I watched the Debates.
Here’s the official "Political Byline" Blog reaction to the Democrat Debates.
I went in, expecting a cat fight. What I saw was basically another civil debate.
Hillary did come out in the beginning, a bit punchy, She did NOT lose her temper, as one of MSNBC’s talking heads suggested. She simply defended herself legitimately. Plain and Simple, I didn’t detect anger at all. Anyone who suggests otherwise, is simply either biased against her, or the democrats in general.
Other than that, I detected a very calming, civil tone to the debate.
Yes, there were quite a few zingers, The Pillow Fluff crack, Hillary Musing because she’s the first to get the question. There were a few others, but the pillow fluff crack was about the only one that I remember and yes, I howled with Laugher.
I believe, however, because I am a realist, I believe that Hillary and Obama are quite ambitious about their crusade to get National Healthcare. If they think that the Republicans are going to just lay down and let them steam roll a National Healthcare plan through, they both have a screw loose. Quite frankly, Conservatives will fight that tooth and nail, until the second coming of Christ. Plain and Simple. In reality, it will be a hard, strong, bloody fight. Would it be worth it? I’m not going to comment on that. Because I’m not in their shoes. I will however, continue to comment on it, even after the election, because, quite frankly, it will be an interesting topic to follow.
On Obama, about the Louis Farrakhan issue, I think the Media’s bringing that up, is playing right into the race baiting of the Conservative Media. I’m quite shocked that the MSM Media, especially MSNBC would even bother going there.
I think Obama held his own, very well. He didn’t have a knee jerk moment, at all and I think that says quite a bit about him. He’s proven to me, that he is not anywhere near the caliber of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, and believe me, that’s a very good thing,
Now as far as Body language, I didn’t really pay attention to that, I listen to words, Not body language. (Unlike some people!)
So, who won? I think it was pretty much even. They both did fine, I think.
Question is, what did you think? Comments?
Speaking of Stupid
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.
(H/T Memeorandum)
The Obama smears are getting silly.
and I do mean, Silly
Why can’t Right Wingers just accept that the next President will be a Black man?
Calling George Wallace!
Obama Stiffs the Press
There’s an interesting piece in the Politico about Obama Stiffing the Press.
I’m divided on this one.
On one hand, I think it’s not right that the press be limited in their access to a candidate.
On the other hand, I know that the press can be ruthless in the coverage and in their quest to get a story. Here’s a classic example. The woman did wrong, but the local press was ruthless to this woman, until she killed herself. The really cruel part is, the offending station that hounded her, mentioned her death in a very cold, passing way. I used to really respect that station, in the days when Jac Le Goff and Bill Bonds were the rulers there. Now it’s little more than a idiot station, with idiots behind the desks.
So, in a way, I can fully understand Obama’s desire to keep the media at bay. It could be, however, the secret service’s doing as well. After all, Obama did get some threats a while back, it could be that seeing he’s getting so popular, it could be that they’re afraid of people getting mixed up with the media and possibly trying to take a shot at him or something.
So, while I think it might upset the media, for their access being limited, I’m sure it’s being done for a very good reason, and not just because Obama doesn’t like them.

The Shillary – Obama Saga continues
Click here to follow that bunch of nonsense.
I am undecided at this point, if I am going to watch the debate tonight. I don’t mind it when the candidates debate the issues, But when the personal attacks start, that’s about the time I tune out.
I’m just afraid that if Hillary launches into an attack on Obama, he might react in a bad manner and blow it for the General Election.
I might watch, But I doubt it. I’m not to like to watch a train wreck. (On her part, I mean…)
I just have a sinking feeling that this debate will degenerate into the "over the top" stuff, that I just feel has no place in a election.
Either way, I will Blog on it.
I’ve heard of backstabbing in Politics, But…..
But this is going a wee bit over the line! 
There’s a joke about a "House Divided" in there somewhere…. 
Top Campaign 2008 Stories
Here are the top stories related to the Run for the White House for 2008.
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.
Obama catching sand over a comment.
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!
Stupidity at it’s finest.

Clinton Has Edge in Ohio Texas Race Deadlocked
Looks like this might just turn out to be an interesting race.
Clinton Has Edge in Ohio; Race in Texas Deadlocked (Via Washington Post.com)
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, facing a pair of big Democratic primary tests on March 4 that could determine the fate of her presidential candidacy, is deadlocked with Sen. Barack Obama here in Texas and holds a slender lead over him in Ohio, according to two new Washington Post-ABC News polls.
Of course, both of them will be working their butts off, until March 4.
The closeness of the races in Texas and Ohio underscores the challenges facing Clinton over the next 12 days of campaigning as she seeks to end Obama’s double-digit winning streak in their battle for the Democratic nomination. Those victories have given Obama a lead in delegates to the national convention and have put Clinton’s candidacy at risk unless she can rack up a string of big victories of her own.
In Ohio, Clinton leads Obama in the new poll by 50 percent to 43 percent, a significant but tenuous advantage given the shifts that have taken place in advance of previous primaries as candidates intensified their campaigns. In Texas, the race is about even, with Clinton at 48 percent and Obama at 47 percent.
The experts, however will tell you that Obama’s got it all locked up and she’s trailing for a V.P. Spot.
Either way, It will be fun to watch.

Yes, I did watch the debates.
Yeah, I watched them. You can read the transcripts here.
It seemed the debates were quite civil. At least until Keith Olbermann’s show was over. It also tended to heat up, after Keith’s show went off. Which really struck me as odd.
Yes, I did think that. "I wonder if they knew?". 
A couple good lines by Hillary:
BROWN: Senator Clinton, is it the silly season?
CLINTON: Well, I think that if your candidacy is going to be about words, then they should be your own words. That’s, I think, a very simple proposition.
(APPLAUSE)
And, you know, lifting whole passages from someone else’s speeches is not change you can believe in, it’s change you can Xerox. And I just don’t think…
OBAMA: Come on.
(CROSSTALK)
CLINTON: No, but, you know, but, Barack, it is.
Because, you know, if you look — if you look — if you look at the YouTube of these videos, it does raise questions.
Now, there is no doubt that you are a passionate, eloquent speaker, and I applaud you for that. But when you look at what we face in this country, we do need to unite the country, but we have to unite it for a purpose around very specific goals.
On the outset, this may sound like she was being snarky and cute. But this most likely will hurt her run for White House. Not recorded in this official transcript was the resounding chorus of Boo’s that went up, when the comment of the Xeroxing of comments was made. It really wasn’t Clinton’s smartest move.
Other than this here, I didn’t notice any outlandish sparring by the candidates at all. Other than the long winding sparring over heath care. Which was supposed to be about Iraq.
There was one good moment in this debate, however, here’s the Video:
And, you know, no matter what happens in this contest — and I am honored, I am honored to be here with Barack Obama. I am absolutely honored.
(APPLAUSE)
CLINTON: Whatever happens, we’re going to be fine. You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we’ll be able to say the same thing about the American people, and that’s what this election should be about.
I think the Democrats, like JFK, RFK, LBJ and FDR, would be proud of that moment. That Democrats, despite their differences, can come together, when the smoke clears and work together.
I just hope it works in November. Because, we do need some change, and I’m afraid that McCain just doesn’t offer it. He is a great man, But his foreign policy and stance on the war in Iraq, is more of the same of Bush.
