Another Conservative jumps for Obama

Posted on2 Comments

Larry Hunter has decided that Obama is the answer for America.

Who is Larry Hunter?

Quote:

I’m a lifelong Republican – a supply-side conservative. I worked in the Reagan White House. I was the chief economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for five years. In 1994, I helped write the Republican Contract with America. I served on Bob Dole’s presidential campaign team and was chief economist for Jack Kemp’s Empower America.

This November, I’m voting for Barack Obama.

So, why is Larry supporting Obama?

Quote:

The answer is simple: Unjustified war and unconstitutional abridgment of individual rights vs. ill-conceived tax and economic policies – this is the difference between venial and mortal sins.

Taxes, economic policy and health care reform matter, of course. But how we extract ourselves from the bloody boondoggle in Iraq, how we avoid getting into a war with Iran and how we preserve our individual rights while dealing with real foreign threats – these are of greater importance.

He does not mince words about Juan McSame either:

Quote:

John McCain would continue the Bush administration’s commitment to interventionism and constitutional overreach. Obama promises a humbler engagement with our allies, while promising retaliation against any enemy who dares attack us. That’s what conservatism used to mean – and it’s what George W. Bush promised as a candidate.

So, why is this man throwing his Conservative principles into the wind and voting for Obama?

Quote:

“But here’s the thing: Even if my hopes on domestic policy are dashed and Obama reveals himself as an unreconstructed, dyed-in-the-wool, big-government liberal, I’m still voting for him.

These past eight years, we have spent over a trillion dollars on foreign soil – and lost countless lives – and done what I consider irreparable damage to our Constitution.

If economic damage from well-intentioned but misbegotten Obama economic schemes is the ransom we must pay him to clean up this foreign policy mess, then so be it. It’s not nearly as costly as enduring four more years of what we suffered the last eight years.”

I hate to admit it, but I agree with him. I believe that the Republican Party needs to be punished, harshly, for it’s allowing of a Neo-Conservative, Big Government, Pro-War, Agenda to overtake it. The Republican Party needs to take the next 7 years to rewrite the party’s entire message.

Obama hits 52 Million in June Fund Raising.

Posted on

The Obama camp has raised 52 million Dollars.

Which is more money than I will ever see in a lifetime. 😀 😉

Some had hyped that he would raise 100 Million, But I guess he fell short. But still just the same, that is still a good haul, I think.

Women that placed Bogus call that caused FLDS raid now wanted by Police

Posted on

Good. I hope they catch this vermin and throw her sorry black ass UNDER the damn jail!

The Colorado woman alleged to have sparked the raid on the polygamous FLDS ranch in Texas with bogus tips may be on the run.

On Monday, an arrest warrant was issued for Rozita Swinton after she failed to show up for a court hearing on charges of violating her probation for one of two other false-reporting cases against her, court administrator Lori McKager told Salt Lake City’s 2News.

Swinton is accused of violating her probation stemming from her 2007 guilty plea for telling police she was a 16-year-old girl who was suicidal after giving birth.

Authorities have linked her to a phone number used to call a Texas crisis center thought to have triggered an April raid where more than 460 children were removed from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ Yearning for Zion ranch in Eldorado, Texas.

Swinton, 33, faces jail time if found guilty of violating probation. – Arrest warrant issued for woman whose bogus tip allegedly triggered FLDS raid – (via Salt Lake Tribune)

In case you all think I am being a bit harsh, consider this, how would you like to be living in your own home, minding your own business and suddenly have the police charging your property with tanks, because some idiotic bitch, called the police saying that someone living in your house was molesting children? I don’t about you, but I would be highly pissed. 😡

I think there’s another factor here to, and yes, I am going there. That factor is racism. I have denounced racism on this blog, at various times. I think that Racism of ANY form, White on Black or Black on White is totally unacceptable. (and for what it’s worth, I’m talking about REAL Racism, not this race hustling horse shit that Al Sharpton and his stooges come up with….) In case anyone has not noticed, the people on that FLDS ranch in Texas are White men and women, and the person placed this call, was black. If the tables were turned and a White Woman called in a complaint on a Black Religious compound such as the FLDS has, the Authorities would be burning up the city trying to find the person that was responsible for doing such a thing. But because it’s Black on White, the authorities are taking their sweet time finding her. Now you tell me there is not racial bias in our justice system. Baloney. 🙄 😡

Yes, I do believe that Polygamy is very wrong, but I also think phoning in a fake complaint to the authorities, because you happen to hate White people is wrong too.

You know the silly season has started when………

A Republican Presidential candidate’s campaign accuses a Democrat running against him of being just as bad as the current Republican President.

Via TPM’s Election Central:

The McCain campaign is taking their effort to distance their
candidate from the unpopular President Bush to a whole new level:
McCain’s advisers are now openly attacking Bush on Iraq — and not only
that, they’re also saying that Barack Obama is the one who is like Bush on the war!

On a conference call just now with reporters, McCain foreign policy
adviser Randy Scheunemann compared Barack Obama’s insistence on a
timetable for withdrawal from Iraq to Bush’s insistence that we were
winning even as things went badly for years.

“I think the American people have had enough of inflexibility and
stubbornness in national security policy,” Scheunemann said. When asked
later by the Huffington Post’s Sam Stein whether the campaign was
disparaging President Bush, Scheunemann dug in: “We cannot afford to
replace one administration that refused for too long to acknowledge
failure in Iraq with a candidate that refuses to acknowledge success in
Iraq.”

Forget “McSame.” The candidate who would really continue Bush’s policies is “BushBama.”

Wow…. 😮 😯 Talk about spinning like a top. I have a very bad feeling this is going to backfire on McCain in a really big hurry.

Anyone who thinks that Barack Obama is anything remotely similar than Bush, quite frankly, has got a screw loose.

Jesse Jackson Hypocrite?

Posted on2 Comments

Maybe, and Maybe not….

Exclusive: TVNewser has been sent the transcript of what Jesse Jackson said Sunday morning July 6, as he prepared for an interview on Fox & Friends Weekend. Below is the partial transcript we received in our tips box, and confirmed to be authentic by Fox News Channel representatives.

“Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling n—s how to behave.” – Breaking: What Else Jesse Jackson Said on That FNC Tape (via mediabistro.com: TVNewser)

Allow me to explain something. Because Michelle Malkin and the Neo-Con crowd are really chirping about this and I want to explain it to people who might not hang around black people. I have a history of doing so and I shall try to explain this to none white crowd.

  • The term “Nigger” is a slang term, often used to describe African-Americans, mostly by Whites or White Nationalists who hate black people with a passion. It is considered a insult and very highly offensive.
  • The Term “Nigga” is a black street term, used by blacks exclusively towards one another. Example: “Yeah man, He my Nigga, he’s cool…” It is used to convey the feeling of “That person is my friend..”, there are various ideas as to it’s origins.

So, the question is, which one was Jackson using? If I had to to place a bet, I would tend to think that Jackson was using the second one I described.

How do I know this?? Easy. I went to school with Black Kids. It was Christian School on the east side of Detroit, back in the 1980’s. Needless to say, I picked up on the black culture, real quick. So, I think I can speak on somewhat of an authority. 😀

Washington Post SLAMS Barack Obama on his Iraq plan…

Posted on

I’d be willing to bet that Barry’s behind is bit sore today…

A stinging Editorial from the Washington Post on Barry’s Iraq Plan:

BARACK OBAMA yesterday accused President Bush and Sen. John McCain of rigidity on Iraq: “They said we couldn’t leave when violence was up, they say we can’t leave when violence is down.” Mr. Obama then confirmed his own foolish consistency. Early last year, when the war was at its peak, the Democratic candidate proposed a timetable for withdrawing all U.S. combat forces in slightly more than a year. Yesterday, with bloodshed at its lowest level since the war began, Mr. Obama endorsed the same plan. After hinting earlier this month that he might “refine” his Iraq strategy after visiting the country and listening to commanders, Mr. Obama appears to have decided that sticking to his arbitrary, 16-month timetable is more important than adjusting to the dramatic changes in Iraq.

Mr. Obama’s charge against the Republicans was not entirely fair, since Mr. Bush has overseen the withdrawal of five American brigades from Iraq this year, and Mr. McCain has suggested that he would bring most of the rest of the troops home by early 2013. Mr. Obama’s timeline would end in the summer of 2010, a year or two before the earliest dates proposed recently by members of the Iraqi government. The real difference between the various plans is not the dates but the conditions: Both the Iraqis and Mr. McCain say the withdrawal would be linked to the ability of Iraqi forces to take over from U.S. troops, as they have begun to do. Mr. Obama’s strategy allows no such linkage — his logic is that a timetable unilaterally dictated from Washington is necessary to force Iraqis to take responsibility for the country.

At the time he first proposed his timetable, Mr. Obama argued — wrongly, as it turned out — that U.S. troops could not stop a sectarian civil war. He conceded that a withdrawal might be accompanied by a “spike” in violence. Now, he describes as “an achievable goal” that “we leave Iraq to a government that is taking responsibility for its future — a government that prevents sectarian conflict and ensures that the al-Qaeda threat which has been beaten back by our troops does not reemerge.” How will that “true success” be achieved? By the same pullout that Mr. Obama proposed when chaos in Iraq appeared to him inevitable.

[…]

“What’s missing in our debate,” Mr. Obama said yesterday, “is a discussion of the strategic consequences of Iraq.” Indeed: The message that the Democrat sends is that he is ultimately indifferent to the war’s outcome — that Iraq “distracts us from every threat we face” and thus must be speedily evacuated regardless of the consequences. That’s an irrational and a historical way to view a country at the strategic center of the Middle East, with some of the world’s largest oil reserves. Whether or not the war was a mistake, Iraq’s future is a vital U.S. security interest. If he is elected president, Mr. Obama sooner or later will have to tailor his Iraq strategy to that reality.

Ouch! That had to hurt. As I pointed out on Monday, Barry’s plan is just more of the same, but ever so slightly modified to somewhat reflect the conditions on the ground. However, what the Washington Post is getting him on, is his continuing insistence that he is pulling us out, no matter if we’re winning or not. I agree, pulling us out of Iraq, irregardless if we went in there on bad information or not, is just bad policy. It shows a lack of personal responsiblity, which is, as I have said repeatedly, what the Democrats and especially the far left are infamous for.

Editorial: The Great disgrace of Detroit — Kwame Kilpatrick

Posted on1 Comment

I write this editorial today, not with smugness or with an attitude of haughtiness, But one of sadness and dismay for my beloved city in which I grew up. I sit here tonight at 4:19 A.M. absolutely disgusted by what I read about the Mayor of the City of Detroit.

It seems that Detroit’s Democrat Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick is involved, in yet, another scandal. This is because Kilpatrick supposedly “pulled strings” to get some Baptist Preacher off some Prostitution Charges.

Local Station WXYZ-TV’s Steve Wilson has the story:

I simply am going to ask this, What in the name of the Almighty God, is it going to take for Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to resign as Detroit’s Mayor? Will it take dragging his poor mother through the mud? Will it take the State of Michigan to file charges against this man and him possibly him ending up in jail, and ruining his family?

How is it that a man, who seems to believe that he is on some sort of Messianic mission to be the Mayor of the City of Detroit, can simply be deluded enough in his own mind to believe that he is above the law? Christians are no more above the law, than anyone else in this wonderful Country of ours. The very idea that the Mayor of the City Detroit knowingly lied under oath to protect himself and his female lover for a lawsuit speaks to the very core of the Kilpatrick’s soul. In that soul, I see not a man who has been changed by Christ, but rather a dark soul, who will do anything to avoid being held accountable for his actions.

Yet, when the very citizens of the city that Kilpatrick was sworn to serve, attempt to hold Kilpatrick accountable. People like the local Detroit media, the first that that this liberal thug likes to play is, of course, the race card.

“I have never been called…. A nigger”


They were the words that sent shockwaves around this city. An African-American Democrat Mayor, who just months previous to this had marched with the N.A.A.C.P. to ceremonially bury the N-Word forever was now lashing out at those who dared to question him about his conduct, while in office.

What started out as a local story, has now evolved, into national disgrace, a disgrace to the Democrat Party; of which Presidential hopeful Barack Obama was not seen with, at all, for fear it would hurt his campaign. A disgrace to all of the African-America leaders who gave their lives, got their heads beaten in, all so some Mayor could act like he was above the law.

However, is not that what Socialism is, an attitude of entitlement? You must give me this, because I am black? It is certainly, what the Democrat Party promotes in their ideology.

It is anyone’s guess how this will all play out. If Kilpatrick had any semblance of common sense; which seems to be in short supply within the Democrat Party these days, (just look who is running for President), Kilpatrick would resign and give the City of Detroit it’s sense of dignity back.

However, I know that will not happen. Because in Kilpatrick’s mind, Jesus put him in that position and only Jesus will get him out.

That, my friends, is the disgrace of Detroit.

Uppity Chick of the Week Award: Laura Ingraham

(H/T Radio Equalizer, Via Save WRKO)

In the nine-minute clip, longstanding rumors in the broadcast industry and political realm about her volatile temper appear to be confirmed. Before this video was made public, your Radio Equalizer had heard that she had acquired an exceptionally difficult reputation during her time at FOX.

Ya Think? Wow… Man, I thought I was bitchy… Holy Moley… She’s impossible to work with, I feel for Bryan, who now works with her. He left HotAir to work with a cunt like that? What some people will do for the money. Egad.

The real kicker is, she’s been engaged to be married, twice, and twice, got her heart broken. I can see now why… WOW! I mean, seriously, who the hell would want to be married to a uppity broad like that? No man that I know of! Including myself! 😮 😯

….you want to know the real kicker? She’s Catholic. Whatever happened to the sweet Catholic Girls, that the Church used to churn out? Oh, right, The were all molested by the Priests, My bad.  😛 😉 😀

In July 2002, Omar Khadr threw a grenade that blew up an American soldier in Afghanistan.

Khadr was wounded and captured during this same firefight.

After his capture a video was found that shows Khadr toying with detonating cord as other men including Abu Laith al-Libi assemble explosives in the same house that had been destroyed in the firefight. He was also seen planting landmines while smiling and joking with the cameraman. It has been suggested that these were the same landmines later recovered by American forces on a road between Gardez and Khowst – Source Wikipedia.

But the bleeding heart, Commie, liberals in ths country, want to set this “baby” free.

What a damn joke. We ought deport all liberals and let them live in North Korea or better yet, Russia. They’d be right at home. Seriously.

This is a disgrace to America. A Total Disgrace. These people belong in JAIL!

Via WorldNetDaily:

A Kansas church well-known for its protests at the funerals of fallen American soldiers plans to picket at this week’s funeral of former Press Secretary Tony Snow, declaring that Snow is “a very bad monkey” who is “now burning in hell.”

“He had a platform, he was given some small talent by his Creator. He was an unfaithful steward, and is now residing in hell,” says a schedule on the website of the Westboro Baptist Church.

“Each opportunity he had to faithfully report what the servants at WBC had to tell this country/world, Tony Snow besmirched and vilified the words of God and the people of God. Thereby being a party to the crime of passing laws to make the preaching of the gospel to this adulterous and sinful generation [equals] criminal activity. That is a very bad monkey!”

The announcement goes on to quote a variety of biblical verses concerning “scribes,” and closes by stating: “You see there is nothing worse than a scribe who has gone away from their primary duty to faithfully report the facts as they ARE! And how appropriate that this brute, vain beast of a brat was raised Catholic, but then determined like his forefathers that oops! he’d rather be a filthy Episcopalian instead. God hates Tony Snow, and that is why he is now burning in hell.”

I know what I am thinking here. But because I do not want one of those brain dead bastards to try and get the Fed’s after me. I will refrain from saying what I am thinking, here on the blog.

I think you all can guess, what I am thinking.

Let me just say, cancer killed the wrong person.

Memo to Arianna Huffington: Will you please, just shut the hell up??!?!?!

Posted on

Why do people give this feckless idiot Woman (and I use the term quite loosely…) a pulpit to spew? Why?!

Therefore, I am not “angry” or “outraged” or “howling that Mr. Obama is selling out the left.” And his “policy switches” haven’t given me “whiplash.” I am not offended that he isn’t marching in lockstep with progressives. I’d be worried if he was marching in lockstep with anyone. Other than himself. And that is the point I was trying to make.

My problem isn’t that Barack Obama doesn’t always agree with me. My problem is that Barack Obama has started to not always agree with himself — falling prey instead to the Conventional Wisdom sirens. – Arianna Huffington: The Latest Media Blind Spot: Viewing All Criticism of Obama Through a Right/Left Prism.

Quite frankly, who gives two shits what this refugee from Greece thinks? I mean, really. This is the same woman who KNOWINGLY married a Bi-Sexual man, but when it was exposed, they divorced and she got a nice chuck of change… (Reference: GQ magazine, 1999 profile of Michael Huffington)

I think if Barack Obama wants to win this election, He needs to put that Marbled Mouthed Greece immigrant on terminal ignore till November. It would be the best thing he could do for his campaign.

This is sick….

billboardsign

Via WFTV-TV:

A controversial billboard in Orange County has a picture of the burning World Trade Center and the message, "Please Don’t Vote for a Democrat." The man who paid for the ad says he’s trying to help Republicans, but officials with both political parties are calling the billboard inappropriate.

There are billboards up and down busy Orange Blossom Trail, but this at John Young Parkway (see map) one sticks out.

"Just looking at it, I’m not thinking about Democrat or Republican, I’m thinking about the twin towers and all the people killed," resident Mary Anderson told Eyewitness News.

The ad went up last week and is causing quite a reaction.

"Why use the twin towers for that purpose?" Anderson questioned.

Good question. The sad part is, that this is what the Republican Party has been doing as a whole, using terrorism as a scare tactic since 9/11. But people have to realize, that is what Neo-Cons do. They will stop at nothing to promote war. That is what they do. Neo-Cons, which are made of primarly of old warmongering Democrats, will stop at nothing to go to war. For all we know, George W. Bush looked the other way, while these 9/11 hi-jackers flew those planes in the twin towers. Some people believe that FDR purposefully sent all of our warships to Pearl Harbor and ignored the warnings that we would be and were about to be attacked.

What I am saying is, that this sign is a perfect example of the mentality of the Neo-Conservative movement, which is, Do not vote Democrat or terrorists will attack America. It is truly and sick and sad mindset.

(H/T to Think Progress)

Via The Washington Post:

Republicans were not alone in that response. Michael E. O’Hanlon, a Democratic defense analyst at the Brookings Institution who has been an outspoken supporter of the war in Iraq, said he could not believe that Obama would put such a definitive timeline into print before a trip to Iraq, where he is to consult with Iraqi leaders and U.S. commanders.

“To say you’re going to get out on a certain schedule — regardless of what the Iraqis do, regardless of what our enemies do, regardless of what is happening on the ground — is the height of absurdity,” said O’Hanlon, who described himself as “livid.” “I’m not going to go to the next level of invective and say he shouldn’t be president. I’ll leave that to someone else.”

The reason I don’t get it is, because what Obama wrote in that Op-Ed piece was basically his primary stump speech with some very minor refinements to it. So, why anyone on the Democrat side would be “Livid” about it, as they this guy put it, is well beyond me. In other words, Obama did not say anything different, than he did in the primary, he just updated it to reflect current events.

Now his point about Obama going to Iraq, I can see that point. But for him to become upset about what was written, I don’t get that, at all.

Hope, Change, Flip Flop, Edit Website!

Posted on

When the message is not fitting the current events, what do you do? Edit your website.

The New York Daily News reports:

Barack Obama’s campaign scrubbed his presidential Web site over the weekend to remove criticism of the U.S. troop “surge” in Iraq, the Daily News has learned.

The presumed Democratic nominee replaced his Iraq issue Web page, which had described the surge as a “problem” that had barely reduced violence.

“The surge is not working,” Obama’s old plan stated, citing a lack of Iraqi political cooperation but crediting Sunni sheiks – not U.S. military muscle – for quelling violence in Anbar Province.

The News reported Sunday that insurgent attacks have fallen to the fewest since March 2004.

Obama’s campaign posted a new Iraq plan Sunday night, which cites an “improved security situation” paid for with the blood of U.S. troops since the surge began in February 2007.

It praises G.I.s’ “hard work, improved counterinsurgency tactics and enormous sacrifice.”

Campaign aide Wendy Morigi said Obama is “not softening his criticism of the surge. We regularly update the Web site to reflect changes in current events.”

GOP rival John McCain zinged Obama as a flip-flopper. “The major point here is that Sen. Obama refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong,” said McCain, adding that Obama “refuses to acknowledge that it [the surge] is succeeding.”

B. Hussein Obama, Website Editor in chief. I love it! 😆 😛 😀 😉

However, the left would just say, what about all the times that the George W. Bush Administration changed their message, as the Iraq dissolved into chaos in 2004? How many times did they change their reasoning for even being there?

Of course, the Republican Neo-Cons are wetting themselves over this, and I’ll put the various ones in down at the end.

The way I see it, he’s coming towards the center, instead of pandering to the hard left, which is what he did in the primary, which is what the Congress did in the 2006 election. I’m personally glad to see that he’s trying to prove himself not to be another Dennis Kucinich, but rather a more moderate progressive, who is more pragmatic, than idealistic. This could very well help him in the general election. I think.

Karl Rove exchanged e-mails about Pat Tillman with Associated Press reporter Ron Fournier, under the subject line “H-E-R-O.” In response to Mr. Fournier’s e-mail, Mr. Rove asked, “How does our country continue to produce men and women like this,” to which Mr. Fournier replied, “The Lord creates men and women like this all over the world. But only the great and free countries allow them to flourish. Keep up the fight.

To his defense:

“I was an AP political reporter at the time of the 2004 e-mail exchange, and was interacting with a source, a top aide to the president, in the The Carpetbagger Report, Gawker, Obsidian Wings, AMERICAblog News, The Jed Report and The Politico course of following an important and compelling story.

World News: 86 Charged in Turkey Coup Plot

Posted on

Could this be a sign of things to come in the Middle east?

Quote:

Eighty-six people, including writers, members of civil organizations and former military officers, were charged Monday with membership in an illegal ultranationalist organization and of plotting to overthrow the Turkish government.

Speaking at a televised news conference, the Istanbul chief prosecutor, Aykut Cengiz Engin, refused to give details of the case against the ultranationalist and hard-line secular organization, known as Ergenekon, because the case had not yet been formally accepted by the court.

But he said the suspects, 48 of them in police custody and the others free while awaiting trial, were charged with forming, managing and aiding the organization, which is accused of plotting a coup against the Islamic-rooted, governing Justice and Development Party, or AKP.

The 2,455-page indictment is widely perceived in Turkey as being part of a power struggle between the secular establishment, including parts of the military, and the democratically elected and religiously conservative government. –86 Charged in Turkey Coup Plot – NYTimes.com.

Like the Holy Scriptures say, there will be no peace in that region to Christ comes.

Living proof that Big Government is out of control Government!

(H/T to The Next Right)

Want to see a perfect example of an out of control Government?

Then head on over to Salon.com and read a harrowing tale of a Pilot, who recently flew on a plane.

Unbelievable.

John Henke rightly says:

Many years ago, the Right actively told the story of just how harmful government really was to society. But then Republicans took control of government and we basically stopped telling that story. As a result – and even thought government is far larger – the public and the media pay far less attention to the costs and consequences government; instead, they are clamoring for even bigger government.

He is so right, until this Nation wakes up and realizes the Big Government is NOT solution, we will be in much trouble. It will be up to the Republican Party to to get back to it’s morals of small and limited Government and limited spending. The Globalist agenda and big Government agenda of this President has totally ruined that party. Hopefully people like me, John Henke and many others can bring the Conservatives back to senses and make the realize that the more that gets done, without the Governments help, the better.

Townhall.com’s Carol Platt Liebau asks….

Posted on

This:

Could someone point to me someone — anyone — of any stature in the Republican Party or the conservative movement who has shopped the idea that Barack is a Muslim (it was, of course, Hillary Clinton who said he was a Christian “as far as [she] know[s]”)? Or a terrorist who’s hand-in-glove with Osama bin Laden?

Yeah, Sure, I will. How about 90% of your damn base? Someone seriously needs to get this woman some glasses, because, it’s quite obvious she’s quite the vision impaired person.

I am not a Obama fan, not by a long shot. But this right here, is why the Republican Party is going to get thier asses handed to them on a platter come November, and quite honestly, no one is more deserving of that.

It just seems to me, that the Republican Party has been taken over by a disease and that is a bad case of inherit stupidity. 🙄

Yeah, I know, she said Stature, but you know, it doesn’t matter WHOM it’s coming from, it’s very damn point that it’s even coming.

Update: Before anyone says, “Hey, what about you?” Let me say this, okay? 90% of what I say in here, in relation to Obama being a Muslim or terrorist or anything else, is said in jest. I know that he is not a terrorist. Duh, I’m not that stupid. My biggest gripe with the Republicans, is their operatives who DO spread these rumors as fact. Obviously Carol does not see the e-mails that float around. 🙄

Man, talk about a dumb bitch who needs to wake up and smell the coffee… wow! 😮 😯

On the Offshore Ban Lift

Posted on

Yes, I have have heard about lifting the Ban of offshore drilling.

The good news is, it will help, in the long run. The bad news is, it will not help anytime soon.

Of course, I’d be willing to bet that the Dems will obstruct this. What needs to happen is, the Enron Loophole needs to be closed, like yesterday. Between the two, prices would come down.

Other than that, I don’t see a quick solution.

Barry’s Campaign is hurting for cash….

Posted on

Barry’s Campaign manager has released a video, in which he says mean ‘ol John McCain is raising more money then him.

Click to Watch Video

Well, if Barry had not opted out of public campaign financing, maybe he would have the money to go up against mean ol’ John McCain, but no, he wanted to run a completely supporter financed campaign, and now he’s being out funded.

Two Words come to mind…..

Tough Shit

It might be because people are seeing B. Hussein Obama for what he really is! An Empty Suit, who says what people want to hear, instead of the real, on the ground, truth.
