Stupid Gas Seeping from Florida Swamps?

What is wrong with the Fumb Ducks in Florida?

They couldn't figure out how to fill out their ballots, so they screwed up the 2000 election.
They couldn't get the recounts right afterwards, so the Supreme Court had to decide it.
They couldn't figure out when to vote, so their delegates are not certified to be counted at the 2008 Democrat Convention because they moved up their primary.

Now Hillary Clinton wants to change the rules after the game by counting them (since they count for her), effectively stealing the election from Barack Obama.

Every time there is an election, it seems like the Floridians screw it up. Maybe there is stupid gas seeping up from the swamps?

Liberal/Democrat Tactics- No Conservatives Involved

It has always seemed to me that a favorite tactic of the left was to accuse the right of exactly what they themselves were doing. During an election in particular, the accusations fly. Now you can't say that the right never does anything sneaky, but the heavy handed tactics of the left are legendary, and usually blamed on the right.

If you want to see what I am talking about here, watch the news between now and the Democrat Party convention. You will see tactics in play you were always told are the trademark of the Republican Party, with no Republicans involved. The Democrats will be gaming each other.

Watch how they change the rules as they go, while they tell you they are following them. Watch how the Clintons steal the nomination from Senator Obama, while claiming they won fair and square.

You may see, right before your very eyes, Barack Obama win the nomination in votes and delegates, only to have the Party establishment hand it over to Hillary Clinton using subterfuge and trickery.

If this happens, you may also see a violent reaction. The Democrat Convention might make the best "reality TV" program of 2008.

Hillary Calls Out Obama!

Can Hillary Clinton find anything that will work to unseat Barak Obama as the front runner in the Democrat Party's Presidential nominee sweepstakes?

So far she cried, twice, so that one is used up. She trotted out Bill, and his big yap sent things downhill. She has used sexism, but women are deserting her for Barak's irresistible charm, and the race card has backfired badly sending African Americans running towards Obama.

Hillary, running out of money and support and sounding increasingly desperate is trying a new tactic, righteous indignation. Claiming Barak Obama has aggrieved her badly by distributing what she calls misleading policy mailers on health care and free trade, she angrily attacked him.

"Shame on you, Barack Obama," Clinton said during a campaign rally in Ohio, which along with the southern state of Texas holds key Democratic nominating contests on March 4.

"It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public. That's what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio. Let's have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign."

Is that like "Obama, meet me after school behind the gymnasium"? She is calling him out! Did Hillary Clinton ever exhibit this much anger when it became public that her husband the President caroused around the Oval Office with Monica Lewinsky? Did she say "Monica, meet me behind the White House and I will kick your ass!"?

One could say Bill's behavior didn't rise to the level of "distributing misleading policy mailers on health care and free trade", or one could say that Hillary Clinton's chance of becoming the first female President can be viewed at this point in the rear view mirror.

The real reason Hillary is losing appears to be, well Hillary.

Deficit Spending = Taxation Without Representation

Our Founding Fathers dumped tea into Boston Harbor as a protest against a distant King that taxed them unfairly, and without representation.

There is a new King, and it is the Federal Government. It is not that there is no elected government. It is that the elected government spends dollars that have to be borrowed, leaving others to repay them. The government's thirst for spending exceeds the tax revenues, hence deficit spending.

The deficits are added to the National Debt, which will presumably be paid for in the future. The rub is, the people who will repay the debt and their yet to be elected governments have no say in the deal.

According to the National Debt Clock at brillig.com the Outstanding Public Debt is:

Deficit spending could be eliminated by reduced spending, or raising taxes, pick your poison. Some would suggest it is time for another Boston Tea Party. Either way, every deficit dollar is taxation without representation of our future generations jeopardizing their economic security.

Clinton Wins, Pollsters and Pundits Big Losers in New Hampshire

Hillary Clinton won New Hampshire? I wonder who is more shocked, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or the public?

The press, pundits and pollsters got New Hampshire so wrong, that one might encourage them to a new line of work. They have become the story, and in this case, the story is how poorly they did predicting New Hampshire.

The supposedly unstoppable "Barack Obama up by double digits steamroller" either ran out of steam, or never existed in the first place.

If on the other hand you believe that Hillary's crocodile tears turned it around, then America is in worse shape then we thought. Who thinks Putin or Achmedinijad, or any other tough foreign leader our next President will deal with will be impressed or intimidated by a crying President Hillary?

Beginning Of The End For Hillary???

Hillary Clinton became visibly emotional at a New Hampshire campaign event Monday after a friendly question from a voter.

One-time presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton scoffed at suggestions that she had an “Ed Muskie moment” on the campaign trail Monday, when she was driven to the verge of tears at a campaign event during the final hours before New Hampshire voters go to the polls Tuesday.

Muskie buried his 1972 Democratic presidential race when he broke down after the Manchester Union Leader hurled insults at his wife in an article. He later claimed he was wiping snowflakes from his face, but the damage to his campaign was done.

“This is so ridiculous,” Clinton told FOX News. “People who followed me during the course of my life know that I’m a passionate person and I care deeply about what happens to people. You know, here I am sitting in an intimate setting, although granted there are a million cameras around, talking to people about what they care about and what’s on their minds and how deeply concerned they are about our country.”

“I have so many opportunities and don’t want us to fall backwards,” she said. “I see what’s happening, people. … Some of us are ready some of us are not. When we look at the array of problems and potential for it to spin out of control, this is one of the most important elections. As tired as I am … I believe so strongly (in) who we are as a nation so I’ll do everything I can to make my case and voters get to decide.”

Afterward, Clinton wouldn’t call it a double standard that she was being judged for her emotional composure, but indicated her passion for her beliefs should not be treated differently because she is a female.

“We have gone through years of male political figures who have done everything from cry to scream, who have been our presidents. We have all kinds of pictures and stories and you know, I am who I am. I think people who have followed me and watched me they know I am cool under fire, they know that I am tough, they know that I can make decisions.

“But (I) also want them to know I’m a real person, I have feelings, I care about what I do, I don’t do this because I want to live in the White House again. I do this because I’m worried about our country and what is going to happen in the next generation. And if I get emotional about that or if I’m passionate about defending myself, well than I’ll (let) people draw their own conclusion,” she said.

If I Were President...

If I were President I would restore the role of the Federal Government to it's original roles:

1. Defend the Country
2. Protect and Regulate the Borders
3. Regulate and mediate interstate commerce.

The jettisoning of massive amounts of welfare and special interest spending would be used to:

1. Eliminate deficit spending
2. Pay off the national debt
3. Restore the Social Security Funds spent by congress
4. Rebuild Nationally owned infrastructure
5. Reduce and simplify taxes
6. Encourage extremely rich Americans to contribute as much additional tax as they choose
7. Secure the borders

As a part of the National Defense I would

1. Reduce and eventually eliminate stationing of US Troops in Japan, Europe and Korea.
2. Correspondingly Increase troop strengths in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait (other Middle East Countries as needed).
3. Make a major push in Iraq to seize upon the strengths of the surge with the goal of leaving by fall of 2012.
4. In January 2013 begin the phased removal American Troops from the Middle East
5. Pass the "Assured Destruction" initiative. This would let belligerent States like Iran know that if the US is attacked and it is tracked back to them, we will level their 3 largest cities and destroy their infrastructure from the air.

To make keeping troops in the middle east past 2012 unnecessary I would engage in a National Energy independence initiative with he goal of being energy independent by 2050.

1. Immediately Fund a new "Manhattan Project" to discover/invent a new fuel for cars, trucks and power plants
A. Offer the technology to the car companies for free to incorporate it into their products
B. Seed the buildout of privately owned National distribution so consumers can get fuel for the new vehicles
2. Incentivize consumers and industry to continue to upgrade to green technologies and make energy conservation a National Priority.
3. Continue to use foreign oil and keep our own as a reserve until a suitable replacement is found.

Just a start.

Ahmadinejad to Speak at Columbia University, Why?

Columbia University's allowing the President of Iran to speak is perplexing at best.

Columbia will provide a forum for the President of a country that has publicly supported the destruction of Israel, denies the holocaust took place, supports terrorists, and is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Yet Columbia says it is a free speech issue. Students regularly shut out or shout down those they disagree with from the right of the American political spectrum. Why is the President of a nation that is the opposite of all the students claim to hold dear given so much lattiude? Will they shout down Ahmadinejad, or show him the respect they reserve for those they agree with?

The university claims military recruiters should not be allowed on campus because of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policies regarding gays in the military. Ahmadinejad is the President of a country that is said to execute homosexuals, and where women are stoned to death for doing what Monica Lewinsky did to President BIll Clinton in the White House.

Claiming it's a freedom of speech issue seems a thin veil, but for what?

Bush on Troop Withdrawals: "Return on success"- Dems Say No

Citing recent success with the surge, President Bush said last night in a speech to the nation that he would start withdrawing troops from Iraq soon and be back to pre-surge levels by July 2008.

"The principle guiding my decisions on troop levels in Iraq is: return on success," the president said, trying to summon the nation's resolve once again to help Iraq "defeat those who threaten its future and also threaten ours." source FoxNews.com
Fresh from calling General Petraus a liar, Democrats say that returning to pre-surge levels is not progress, not realizing that if the surge was failing, there would be no withdrawals, and the President would be asking for even more reinforcements.

The change of strategy Democrats demanded 6 months ago; new Generals, new Secretary of Defense, new rules of engagement, have been put in place, but are being ignored despite promising signs of success.

It is obvious that the Democrat Party strategy is organized around winning the Presidency, not winning the war. They cannot afford to support their own Country's war effort because that would lend support to Republicans in the race for the White House. So they continue to criticize and second guess at every turn.

When the President is committing to withdrawing troops on success and the Democrats say no, what are they saying? They are saying they want to withdraw the troops on failure and defeat, regardless of the consequences in human lives and to US interests in the region.

Bin Laden Echoes Democrat Themes

Is it an accident that the recent Bin Laden tapes seem to echo many Democrat Party themes?
Here is an excerpt of a blog post by Christopher G. Adamo on the California Conservative that points out some interesting similarities.

In light of Osama Bin Laden’s videotaped message to the West (Or was it a press release from DNC Chairman Howard Dean?), one might be given to muse that liberal abhorrence for the President’s surveillance of incoming phone calls from known terrorists might ultimately stem from self-interest. Perhaps they simply do not want to be monitored as they share strategies and talking points with the Al Qaeda leader.

Furthermore, the DNC may decide to keep a copy of the Bin Laden tape, which could come in handy during the 2008 campaign season. Just as aspiring politicians feel compelled to pander in Spanish to the increasing numbers of “undocumented voters,” so might Dean and the Democrats want to remind those “Jihadist-Americans” in their native tongue which party will best ensure that their interests are served.

While such satire may be deemed overly harsh, in truth it fails to fully convey the depths to which the current Democrat leaders, along with their cronies in the media and the blogosphere, have sunk in their efforts to promote their anti-American cause. And as one outrageous example after another unfolds before the American people in the liberal/Democrat attempt to demean and undermine the war on terror, the case for their sedition becomes ever more crystal clear.

Read the rest here.

"Your End Of the Boat Is Sinking"

A quotable quote in Reader's Digest attributed to Hugh Downs says:

To say my fate is not tied to your fate is like saying your end of the boat is sinking.
This brings to mind the Democrat strategy to win the Presidency in 2008. They believe they must be relentless in their criticism of the war regardless of how it might embolden the enemy into believing they can win.

My first question is will this work? My second and more important question is, can the damage they are doing to America be repaired by the next President, regardless of which party wins?

News Crews Reenacting Senator Craig's Restroom Antics

If Senator Craig of Idaho really did try to signal an undercover officer to engage in sex with him in a Minnesota airport restroom as is alleged, it is really disgusting.

As if it wasn't disgusting enough, a news crew has created a video reenactment.

As usual, whenever a conservative is caught doing something that stinks of hypocrisy, the left goes wild, but in the process demonstrates their own.

Where is the reenactment of Monica Lewinsky performing fellatio on President Bill Clinton in the Oval Office at the White House?.

It was just about sex as I remember.

Iran Prepared to Fill Iraq Power Vacuum

The headline from the Drudge Report reads: Iran Prepared to Fill Iraq Power Vacuum

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Tuesday that a power vacuum is imminent in Iraq and said that Iran was ready to help fill the gap.

"The political power of the occupiers is collapsing rapidly," Ahmadinejad said at a press conference in Tehran, referring to U.S. troops in Iraq. "Soon, we will see a huge power vacuum in the region. Of course, we are prepared to fill the gap, with the help of neighbors and regional friends like Saudi Arabia, and with the help of the Iraqi nation." source: Breitbart.com

Credit goes to the Democrat Party who's incessant calls for immediate troop withdrawal and Maliki's resignation emboldens the Iranians and Al Qaeda, and prolongs the war.
