Obama and Canada; Perfect Together

admin — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:01:48 GMT

According to an editorial in the Washington Times, "Obama's America is Canada."

The editorial says, "His proposals are more reflective of Canadian values than American national ideals," then goes on to outline exactly how Senator Obama's proposals would make America much more like Canada.

The editorial suggests, "Mr. Obama is also proposing a host of government programs. He is suggesting increased spending for health insurance, homeowners who might default on their mortgage, the nation's infrastructure, and college tuition in exchange for public service, among others. As a result, he will render America less the land of the brave and the home of the free — and more the land of those who depend on the state."

We tend to agree with the editorial and think if Obama does somehow manage to win the White House it just might be time to move to Canada. Might as well considering he will do his best to make the United States just like our neighbor to the north.

Drill in ANWR

admin — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:28:52 GMT

Even Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin wants to drill in ANWR. She even sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid asking, "What will it take for Congress to enact [a] comprehensive energy policy that includes increased domestic production of oil and gas, renewable and alternative energy, and conservation?"

If she can figure out that drilling in ANWR "can be conducted in a safe manner" then why can't the idiots who promised us a commonsense plan for relief at the pump when they took over Congress?

Read Governor Palin's letter here.

And, just because she is HOT, here is her pic:

Republicans for Obama? Kick them out of the Party NOW.

admin — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:34:52 GMT

As if we didn't already have enough problems with getting John McCain to the White House a bunch of extreme RINOs have started an organization, Republicans for Obama.

These RINOs even got some press here.

These people need to be thrown out of the Republican Party NOW, not tomorrow or next week, throw them out now. We admit we were never the biggest fans of Senator McCain but we are Republicans and will do what we can to help him win in November. We could go with former Republican Bob Barr but we don't because he is a former Republican. These Republicans for Obama aren't even going with someone who was once in our Party, which might be forgiveable, the are going with a left-wing, extremely liberal Democrat.

They need to be throw out of the Party now.

And by they, we mean:
John Martin, Kenneth Wehking, Erik Paterson, Barbara Gordon, Randall Leverette and Evan O'Donnell. Their names are copied and pasted directly from their website. Apparently, they want email because each one of their names is linked to their email addresses. Hopefully, someone from the Party will send them an email informing them they have been thrown out.

We do understand that the GOP is supposed to be a "big tent," but allowing people like these RINOs in the Party it becomes more like a circus tent. Obama and the Democrats can have them.

We Told You So... 3 in 10 Americans Admit to Race Bias

admin — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 12:29:43 GMT

According to a new Washington Post/ABC News Poll 3 in 10 Americans Admit to Race Bias. The article is in today's Washington Post.

The Washington Post/ABC News Poll is exactly the point we were trying to get across when we wrote about Spike Lee's support of Sen. Obama. Racism exists and it will show in the presidential election if people like Spike Lee keep running their mouths.

Of course we don't mind if Mr. Lee keeps running his mouth as we support Sen. McCain, even if he is a RINO, but he is still far more conservative than Sen. Obama and a half a loaf is better than no loaf. We conservatives will get at least some of what we want with Sen. McCain as President but nothing if Obama wins. So please keep running your mouth Mr. Lee.

The paper wrote that, just over half of whites in the new poll called Obama a "risky" choice for the White House, while two-thirds said McCain is a "safe" pick. Forty-three percent of whites said Obama has sufficient experience to serve effectively as president, and about two in 10 worry he would overrepresent the interests of African Americans.

We just love the words "we told you so."

Spike Lee might lose the election for Obama, especially if he keeps running his mouth.

admin — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:01:19 GMT

Reuters reports that Spike Lee is backing Senator Obama for President of the United States. Typically speaking we don't care what Spike Lee (or any other racist, Black or White) has to say but this time Mr. Lee may be helping Senator McCain without even trying.

It seems that Mr. Lee, in his "endorsement" of Sen. Obama said, "We need a real Chocolate City." Could he really be that stupid? Does Spike Lee not realize there are many, many white voters who will not vote for Obama simply because of a stupid statement like that from a big mouth bigoted man?

Seriously, you may recall former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was criticized for racial divisiveness after Katrina for urging residents to rebuild a "chocolate New Orleans." This is the 21st century and you have to be very careful about the things you say. Mr. Lee should have thought about that before he opened his mouth.

Go to a construction site. It doesn't matter where, so long as it is a union job. These union workers are democrats but we can guarantee you there are many white male union construction workers on that site who, if no one is listening, will tell you they aren't voting for that black man.

All Spike Lee did was hurt his own cause, and Sen. Obama's chances, by opening his mouth. Maybe the McCain campaign should send Spike a thank you.

Inclusive Obama apparently isn't

admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 21:43:17 GMT

Everybody and their mother is reporting that, to put it in the Boston Globe's words, "Barack Obama, whose campaign is based partly on inclusiveness, is being accused of not including two Muslim women wearing headscarves at his rally Monday night."

So what's up with that? Why did his campaign do it? And please if the mood hits you to actually post a comment to answer these questions do not write some garbage about over zealous campaign volunteers did it or the other garbage we've read on liberal blogs about how the Republicans would have attacked him if these Muslim women were on the stage behind him wearing headscarves.

The problem here is Obama basis part of his campaign on being inclusive and if he were attacked by those of us on the right for including these Muslim women he could easily turn that attack against us.

So, to all you Obama supporters who are crying that he would have been attacked either way over this issue please understand that the reason Obama gets attacked is because on the real issues no one knows where he stands. This guy does not talk specifics, only in general terms. We admit we aren't huge fans of our Party's nominee but at least McCain has the courage to speak about the issues.

In fact, Mr. McCain is a far superior choice to Mr. Obama.

The Revolution is over... FINALLY

admin — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 10:46:15 GMT

Finally it's over, Congressman Ron Paul has finally eneded his presidential campaign.

He should have ended it long ago. Anyone who was at the Iowa Straw Poll knows that. His supporters at that event looked like a bunch of 60's freaks, tie dye shirts and we could have sworn we saw a woman burnign her bra.

Maybe now the GOP can get back to normal.

Dems fail to prove Bush lied - probably because he didn't

admin — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:27:02 GMT

The Washington Post reported that liberal Senator John D. Rockefeller of West Virginia failed to prove that President Bush lied to get us to go into Iraq.

The paper reported that Mr. Rockefeller released a committee report and said, "In making the case for war, the administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when it was unsubstantiated, contradicted or even nonexistent."

Unfortunately for Mr. Rockefeller the very report he spoke about says absolutely nothing about President Bush lying to get us into Iraq. It doesn't even mention the words unsubstantiated, contradicted or nonexistent as proven by these quotes in the newspaper article:

But dive into Rockefeller's report, in search of where exactly President Bush lied about what his intelligence agencies were telling him about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, and you may be surprised by what you find.

On Iraq's nuclear weapons program? The president's statements "were generally substantiated by intelligence community estimates."

On biological weapons, production capability and those infamous mobile laboratories? The president's statements "were substantiated by intelligence information."

On chemical weapons, then? "Substantiated by intelligence information."

On weapons of mass destruction overall (a separate section of the intelligence committee report)? "Generally substantiated by intelligence information." Delivery vehicles such as ballistic missiles? "Generally substantiated by available intelligence." Unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to deliver WMDs? "Generally substantiated by intelligence information."

The fact is the President did not lie to get us to invade Iraq and now the proof is out there. Hopefully the liberals will finally shut their mouths and do something productive, like keep their promise and provide us with that commonsense plan to lower gas prices they made two years ago.

Obama must be insane

admin — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 18:15:08 GMT

Okay so there hasn't been a post here for a while but life has been busy. So why not re-start this blog by noticing that Senator Obama is either insane or has an incredibly terrible memory.

The young, inexperienced senator actually attacked Senator McCain and President Bush over gas prices today (see the story here).We all know politicians like to stretch the truth but to blame McCain and Bush for high gas prices is insane.

The fact of the matter is it was Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats, which Mr. Obama is one of, who promised us "a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices" on April 24, 2006. Need proof? Here is the Pelosi press release.

Any person in this country with half a brain knows Congress runs the country and gas prices have risen under a Democrat controlled Congress by more than a dollar a gallon since Ms. Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats made the promise of lower gas prices.

The fact is DEMOCRATS, including Mr. Obama, are to blame for higher gas prices. Maybe it's time they admit it.

Sheehan vs Pelosi - this could be fun to watch

admin — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:48:34 GMT

The San Francisco Chronicle ran a story over the weekend that everyone's favorite anti-war nut was preparing a run against Nancy Pelosi.

Apparently Sheehan is going to run as an independent but first she will have to gather 10,198 signatures by August 8th. Frankly we hate the politics practiced by both of these liberals but we would love to be able to sign for Sheehan just to have the opportunity to watch the circus of a campaign we're sure it'll become.

Who knows, maybe, just maybe, Sheehan will attract enough looney liberals to pave the way for Republican Dana Walsh to sneak a victory.

Shame on the LA Times

admin — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:42:09 GMT

In a shameful shot at John McCain the LA Times today questioned John McCain's fitness. The headline for the story: John McCain gets tax-free disability pension seems to us nothing more than a cheap shot at John McCain. Even the sub-head went so far as to question McCain's fitness.

The fact is John Mccain does get a disability benefit from the military. He gets that benefit because for 5-1/2 years he was tortured for our country. Now some jerk wants to question whether or not he is fit for duty as commander-in-chief.

What a bunch of crap! It's just another case of the liberal media attacking a Republican.

Chelsea gets her ass grabbed

admin — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:14:40 GMT

Chelsea Clinton was campaigning for her mother over the weekend in Philadelphia and apparently grabbing her ass is a good thing.

The former first daughter was campaigning for her mom in Center City Philadelphia with former mayor, Governor Rendell. They were on a "gay bar crawl." Exactly what two straight people would do on a "gay bar crawl" is something we really aren't sure about. Apparently for these two it was simply to pander to the gay community for Hillary.

At any rate, according to a news report, One young woman exclaimed, "I grabbed her ass," after getting a picture taken with her arm around the former first daughter.

We will say, while we do not agree with her politics, we do admire Chelsea for working so hard on her mother's behalf, but we also hope the reason someone votes for her mother is not because they grabbed Chelsea's ass.

Illegals form work union

admin — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 12:14:41 GMT

It appears if you are hear illegally and live in Houston you can form a labor union and not be bothered. An article in the Houston Chronicle says the "Houston Network of Day Laborers, formed over the weekend by approximately 200 day laborers."

To slap us in our faces the paper interviewed, Jacinto Vasquez, "an undocumented worker who moved here from Mexico in 1999." Undocumented! Isn't that the liberal word for illegal?

Seriously, this is a joke. A group of 200 people formed a union for illegal immigrants and no authority bothers to go get them and send them back to where they came from. It's not that hard. The newspaper article even tells readers there a re 29 street corners these people go to each morning to wait to be picked for work.

Hopefully those charged with deporting illegals will start heading out to city street corners and Home Depot store at 6:00 every morning and round up the illegal immigrants and send them back to where they came from. It's really not that hard. Legal immigrants stay and illegals go until they can come back legally.

Sen. Ensign and the NRSC screw up in NJ

admin — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 20:39:16 GMT

By now everyone who pays any attention to politics knows what a joke the GOP primary for US Senate has been in New Jersey. Typically, we don't like to trash our own party but the NRSC and Senator Ensign put their collective noses where they didn't belong.

For those who haven't paid attention, here's the story. Two guys have been in the race from the start, one who really doesn't belong. Murray Sabrin is a fringe candidate who once ran for governor of the Garden State as a libertarian. He later ran for US Senate as a Republican. At the time the chairman of the state GOP told the New York Times he didn't consider Sabrin a Republican. This time out he's doing nothing more than running a sleazy campaign of attacks on any person who even considered getting in the race.

The other constant is a sitting State Senator who was an Assemblyman before that and a Freeholder before that. Over 10 years in elective office and the man has never voted for a tax increase, plus he is pro life, a good Republican. His name Joe Pennacchio, or as he's called on the campaign trail, "Jersey Joe."

One would think with a record like that the party, even the elite would be thrilled. Wrong! Remember this is New Jersey.

The elite of the party has thrown multi-millionaire, after multi-millionaire, after multi-millionaire after this poor guy. And he has done nothing but proved he is a class act, never once speaking ill of the GOP nor his opponents.

Apparently, from what we've been told, the NJ GOP wants someone who can self fund the campaign. So, what do the party elite do? They recruit Anne Estabrook who after 24 seconds of silence (it's on You Tube) in trying to answer a question on the Second Amendment suffered a mini-stroke and dropped out.

The elite of the party then asked Al Leiter, yes the baseball player to move from Florida and run. He said no. Then the morons asked a couple other people, all said no. Then they asked William Mennen, the heir to the deodorant thrown, he said it stinks, and moved on.

Finally they found a rich guy to self fund his own race in Andy Unanue former CEO and heir to the Goya Foods thrown. They guy quickly earned support from the establishment, even giving him five county endorsements all while he was (and might still be) in Colorado. All was going well until an enterprising reporter checked the archives of his own paper and discovered Mr. Goya was removed as CEO in court by his own family. According to court documents he frequently came to work drunk. Andy's defense? He said he never came to work drunk, only hung over. To make matters worse, another enterprising reporter called Andy's parents house, where he is registered to vote and the house keeper answered the phone and said Andy didn't live there but actually lived in New York City.

Since it appeared the wheels were falling off the Andy Bean bandwagon Senator Ensign and the organization he heads, the National Republican Senatorial Committee turned to a guy by the name of John Crowley. Crowley is, or was, another recruit with absolutely no elected experience but at least he had a good story. Two of his kids were diagnosed with a rare disease and he started a company to find a cure and made millions with it. There was a book written about him and Harrison Ford bought the movie rights. A winner EXCEPT he was incredibly indecisive. He said yes, then he said no, then Sen. Ensign, Sen. McCain and reportedly several others called him and begged him to reconsider. The NRSC even offered to give him resources, the very resources that were not available for any of the other candidates. He said yes again and then, on Sunday, the day before filing, he said no again, he's out.

So, after the filing deadline we are left with three candidates and an inept NJ GOP and an NRSC that should have kept their noses out of it.

The three candidates left are Andy Unanue, Murray Sabrin and State Senator Joe Pennacchio. And for the record there is dirt on Pennacchio, he wrote a series of position papers 20 years ago that Sabrin has been attacking him on. Good, bad or indifferent everybody knew those papers were out there when he was elected Freeholder, then elected Assemblyman and twice re-elected and then won the State Senate seat by a 2 - 1 margin.

Franky, the NRSC should quickly issue an apology to Pennacchio, admit he is a true conservative and back him.

More reasons to jump on the McCain bandwagon

admin — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 10:47:18 GMT

Even we have called McCain a RINO. Perhaps we were wrong. Not that it matters he is our Party's nominee, or will be, so we should support him. That's what primaries are all about, fight, make up, then go kick the other side's butt.

Thanks to a column in the Boston Globe we have many reasons to go to our conservative friends and get them on board.

The column clearly states, "He's the eighth-most conservative senator in Congress, after being the second-most conservative senator the preceding session."

According to the column even the Washington Post found that he has voted with a majority of his Republican colleagues 88 percent of the time this session.

Maybe McCain still doesn't sound as conservative as we'd like but numbers don't lie. Let's get behind him so we can defeat Obamillary in November.

Obama is cheap and Cheney is charitable

admin — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:53:37 GMT

According to a great article on the National Review website Barack Obama is cheap when it comes to giving to charity, while Cheney gives away millions.

According to the article the Obama's weren't the most charitable family one could find, "between 2000 and 2004, they gave less than one percent of their income to charity, far lower than the national average. Their giving rose to a laudable five percent in 2005 and six percent in 2006, with the explosion of their annual income to near $1 million, and the advent of Mr. Obama’s national political aspirations..."

But the article goes on to talk about another wealthy political couple, The Vice President and his wife. The article explains that the Cheney's gave away 78 percent of their income in 2006.

Wow! Imagine that. Obama, the great guy Democrats claim he is gives away only 6 percent of his income while mean, old nasty Dick Cheney gives away 78 percent of his.

Hopefully folks will finally see Obama for the fraud he really is.

Massachusetts gay marriage causing problems in Missouri

admin — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 09:06:07 GMT

Family News in Focus reports that a lesbian couple who were "married" in Massachusetts "are now in court in Missouri trying to dissolve that union."

Once again, the selfish gay and lesbian community is causing problems in a state other than Massachusetts because they want to dissolve their "marriage."

The problem in Missouri, like other states, is the divorce will not happen because as Austin Nimocks, Legal Council at the Alliance Defense Fund says, "This relationship, that Massachusetts slapped the label of marriage on, is not a marriage under Missouri law. So it doesn't qualify for an annulment or divorce."

The fact is, when two people of the same sex travel to Massachusetts to get married they create problems for everyone else. It's selfish! If a same sex couple wants to be married they should move to a place where it is accepted rather than try to force it on others. Naturally, the gay and lesbian community will argue that point, but like we said their arguments are selfish.

This country has managed to survive for over 200 years without gay marriage. It'll survive another 200 years without gay marriage.

Gore could still top Dem ticket?

admin — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:13:27 GMT

An interesting article in the Stuart News of Florida had the eye catching headline: "Mark Tomasik: Don’t discount Gore-led ticket."

Upon reading the article we learned US Rep. Tim Mahoney believes a Gore led ticket is entirely possible and his explanation makes sense.

According to the paper, "A compromise candidate could be someone such as former vice president Al Gore, Mahoney said last week during a meeting with this news organization’s editorial board.

If either Clinton or Obama suggested to a deadlocked convention a ticket of Gore-Clinton or Gore-Obama, the Democratic Party would accept it, Mahoney said."

Could you imagine another race against Al Gore? Frankly, an opportunity to finally shut that guy up sounds fun. He could go on and on about global warming and we could explain the earth is actually cooling because where ever he walks there is an eclipse of the sun.

Seriously, his liberal stances on every issue would make it much easier for McCain to be our next president. Unfortunately this is probably nothing more than wishful thinking.

Didn't he quit?

admin — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:00:55 GMT

We thought after seeing a CNN report some time ago that Ron Paul finally admitted defeat in a seven and a half minute video.

Apparently we were wrong! According to the USA Today's Election coverage Ron Paul continues to run. According to the paper, "The Republican congressman from Texas continues to raise money for his presidential campaign. He is planning to visit states that have yet to hold their primaries and is urging his small but devoted cadre of followers to hold rallies for the libertarian causes he espouses."

What a joke! He isn't even a real Republican. Why does he still plan on running around the country getting the radicals who support him to keep making noise? Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it's pointless.

Granted, he might get lucky and pick up another delegate or two and have a seat at the table. Unfortunately, he already has 14 delegates and doesn't need to run around the country any longer. He has a seat at the table to promote his nut-job stances at the convention.

Frankly, if Ron Paul is truly a Republican and cares about the Party at all, he should just jump on the McCain bandwagon with the rest of us.

We already knew this

admin — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:10:53 GMT

The Washington Times decided to tell us something we already knew yesterday. The headline: Right underrepresented in press's diversity.

The first sentence in the "news" story told us exactly what conservatives have been complaining about for what seems like forever. "Conservatives remain scarce in the news media landscape." Apparently only 6 percent of the national press corps describe themselves as conservative.

So, now what? For the second time in four years a survey has been done of the press and the findings were about the same; the press is way more liberal than conservative. Maybe, just maybe, news organizations might do something about it. Perhaps they could make their reporters actually report rather than editorialize.

Time will tell.
