Meghan. You’re 24. The only reasons anybody reports on your babbling are:
1) You’re hot, but mostly
2) You’re regarded by the enemies of conservatism as hurting the cause.
Therefore, please stop.
This is the first in a series of blog posts that deal with the election and the aftermath. A couple are not nice to Senator McCain and this is one of them. Beth is going to hate me for this post. I have been seething for 6 weeks or so but now it has come full out. I can’t hold back any longer so here goes. Can you believe that McCain’s people are pawing through Palin’s clothes to make sure she or her family are not taking anything the campaign bought? WTF? Seriously, WTMF? This is the last straw.
Senator McCain, the treatment the Sarah Palin has received and is still receiving for the sin of accepting your invite to be the VP is a disgrace and it lies squarely at your feet.
When you announced Palin, everyone knew it was a brilliant move. So did the democrats. In their war room, their own focus groups were saying things like “Sarah Palin is one of us” or “She can help John McCain shake up Washington”. They were worried. And rightly so. They then went on the rampage savaging her left and right and you said NOTHING. What’s worse is you said NOTHING and forbade her from doing so as well. When they called her every name in the book, you said NOTHING. When they passed the story of Trig being the daughter’s baby, you said NOTHING. When you pulled that stupid stunt (and I was right, it was a stunt, read the article) and started to tank, your people savaged her. When they blamed Palin for your losses, even though she was packing them in every where she went, you said NOTHING.
Now, Senator, they are saying things that are so far beyond the pale that they are obvious lies and you still say NOTHING. You say to blame you for the loss. Guess what? Most people with a brain do! It’s not Palin that refused to fight, It was you. It’s not Palin who sucked in 2 of 3 debates, it was you. It’s not Palin who railed against a couple million in earmarks while signing onto the biggest boondoggle in US history, that was YOU. Now you sit idly by while a dedicated servant of the people, one who put her life on hold for you, gets savaged by your people and you say NOTHING.
Senator McCain, you had a chance to stop this crap the day before the election and you said NOTHING. You had the chance to put a stop to it on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and you said NOTHING. You went on Leno and he gave you an open shot to stop it and when asked, YOU SAID NOTHING! Worse, you tried to dismiss it! In my eyes, you are now lower than dirt. I never really liked you before but I bit my tongue and grudgingly supported you. Now I am ashamed of that support and not because you lost but because of what you are allowing now. One word from you would stop this and you say nothing. So much for honor. So much for dignity.
This is how you treat your friends? This is how you treat those who went through hell for you? This is how you treat the woman who had her life turned completely upsidef’ingdown FOR YOU? She went through all that for YOU senator. This is how you pay her back? You have no honor. You are lucky Todd does.
But even in this, there is one small silver lining. Had you been victorious, we are seeing first hand how you would have treated Sarah and the other conservatives. Sarah will be back in 4 years, hopefully you won’t be.
As only XKCD can say it. LOL.
Thank you, Sean Hackbarth — I’ve been waiting impatiently for this SNL giraffes video to appear on teh internets!
God, that’s awesome.
No, I’m not really back - the blogosphere still makes me violently ill with all the stupid bullshit and rabid, deranged libtards. (Go to hell, Obamabots!) I just wanted to post this (God’s gift to) video and delete some stupid troll droppings from moderation — because I can. Suck it up, Greg and other Obamabots — the others might be nice and approve your drivel while I’m away, but when I’m here, you can forget it. I’m away from the blogosphere because I can get more than my daily recommended allowance of dishonest bullshit just by watching David Axelrod and the other Obama goons on teevee. I don’t need to see the same shit spewed by a bunch of retarded losers pounding on keyboards, but thanks for your contribution anyway. I’m sure you trolls have provided my friends here and elsewhere with many hours of rollicking laughter. :P
I’ll be here for the Election Night live-blogging/chat. Delicate sensibilities should be left at the door. I’ll be sooo glad for this excruciatingly long election to be over! In the meantime, I’ll be busy calling people to get out the vote. WILL YOU? Do it, or shut up. (That’s another reason I’m over blogging - too much talk, waaaay too little ACTION.)
USE YOUR BRAIN, VOTE MCCAIN!
The SCOTUS only hears a fraction of all cases decided. Most constitutional cases are decided by the circuit courts. Currently, the 4th circuit is the most “true” to the constitution and it hears the most cases between the circuits. It used to be made up of Scalia, Thomas and Roberts types. Over the years some left leaning judges have been added, but the bigger problem is that there are a bunch of open seats waiting to be filled on that court. Therein lies the subject of today’s problem. Second circuit court has 4 of 13 seats open. The fourth circuit has 5 of 15 open. If Obama has a filibuster proof majority in the senate, these courts will swing to the far left over night. Imagine a court full of Souters and Ginsbergs. You can toss the constitution out if that happens. Ginsberg says the SCOTUS should use more international law and beliefs to help decide cases. Meaning, the socialist belief that is rotting Europe to the core should have some sway on US constitution based decisions. Obama is not going to move to the center when he wins. He won’t have to. He will have the house and senate to give him unlimited power.
Look at his friends and show me one that is not an America hating radical. This is who he is and what will form the basis of the judges he’ll appoint. We can block them in the Senate IF we have enough senators. 42 or more should give us that ability. 2 years from now when Obama and the democrats have shown who they really are we’ll be in position to get the house and senate back. Hopefully by then we can get our party cleaned out of the crony, corrupt and noodle spined moderate dead wood. Hopefully we can get some inspiring picks like the Palins, the Jindals and the Steeles of the party. We have a ton of work to do and there is going to be a ton of inner party blood letting to come. We can get to that later. Right now, the senators that are in trouble need help badly.
We have to move to the possibility that our best hope is to stop our losses this election. That means you do not get down. You do not stay at home. While it looks like Obama will win, he may still be beaten. If he isn’t, we need the Senate under 60 and as close to where it is. No, they may not deserve it. Elizabeth Dole certainly doesn’t inspire loyalty. However, Kay Hagan will rubber stamp anything Obama wants. Dole will at least fight some. Look at your senator. If s/he is in trouble, you need to help them out. There is a difference between cleaning house to send the party a message and burning down the whole neighborhood. Tell any Obama supporting republicans that you know of the split their vote if you can’t convince them to go McCain. Ditto any indys you find.
Look folks, the cavalry of 527’s is not coming. McCain blew that when the first ones were demonized by McCain. They figure that if McCain isn’t going to back them, then why should they waste the money. They aren’t going to help so it is up to us. Get out and vote. Obama’s people are and we need to try to close that gap. The goal now is two fold. Get McCain in if possible, minimize the losses if not. Let’s roll.
So this video was created by one of the Hillary Clinton P.U.M.A. people. She’s declaring “go ahead and call me racist. I don’t care. I’m not voting Barack”
I hope there are millions more like her…
Here’s a video of the Obama/Odinga relationship. Really good job.
America is just learning the truth: Barack Obama is black! I guess we didn’t know that. The media and the Obamatons keep telling us that his recent fall in the polls is due to his race. So when Obama had a 6 point lead in the polls after his convention he was actually white? Was he white when he dispatched Hillary and the 9 dwarfs back in the primaries? He was white during the mortgage crisis that allowed him to extend to a double digit lead in some polls?
Seriously, we keep hearing this line of BS that Obama is falling in polls because whites don’t trust or won’t vote for a black person. Well, I’m pretty sure he was still black in February when he led 49-45 over McCain. Over and over, Obama won all polls over McCain during the spring and summer. Now the halo has fallen off the Obamessiah and he’s falling in the polls. The race is tightening and the media and Obama campaign would have you believe it is due to Americans suddenly making the major discovery that Obama is black.
Senator Obama, a lot of people are not voting for you. It’s not that you are black. It’s because you are a flip-flopping, immoral, elitist, snobby socialist that no one with a brain would trust to watch their dog let alone watch the country. But go ahead and make the race charge. You’re not too bright, not very experienced and have no leadership qualities that give confidence. Race cards are all you have and you best deal them as much as you can in the next 15 days.
Every channel I turn to says Obama walked away with this, including Fox. HUH? I thought McCain was the clear winner. What say you? Am I out to lunch on that?
Ok, this is the last big chance for Senator McCain to control his fate. The usual statement: I’m putting the kids to bed and doing some errands. I’ll be in and out and will approve comments as I can. Until then, ENJOY!
It’s interesting to see what happens toward the end of an election cycle when the people on the percieved losing end start grasping at straws. In the last couple days I have heard a couple whoppers.
First up is the Berg V Obama case. Talk about a need for tort reform. This suit is a bigger joke than the McDonald’s coffee suit. It should be used by conservatives as the basis for tort and lawsuit reform in this country. Berg has no evidence. Period. The fact that this suit is still in play is just a sad statement on our court system. Obama could send out a copy of the certificate but he doesn’t have to. Berg has the burden of proof. If I am Obama, I am waiting for the weekend before the election and then doing it while making a big deal about it. That will help tarnish McCain even more with the indies. The sad thing is that Berg is a Clintonite. He wants Hillary. He thinks he can get her with this. It’s silly and holding on to this is beyond absurd. To their credit, the bloggers I know mention it but toss the BS flag on it like I do. Unfortunately this will be pressed on McCain and the republicans.
Next up is the reported RICO case against Obama and ACORN. “BS on the offense. 15 yards, loss of down.” Ok, this one is even funnier than the birth certificate issue. Fitzgerald is going to file a suit against Obama? Come on. Patrick Fitzgerald is a corrupt shill of the democrat party. He entrapped Libby to get a conviction since there was absolutely NO CRIME comitted in mentioning that Plame sent her hubby to get anti-W information. He knew this but wanted to do as much damage to the republicans and Bush as he could, so he made crap up. Do you really think that this corrupt shill is going to do anything to endanger Obama? That doesn’t pass the laugh test.
Here are the facts: Yes, Obama has coordinated with ACORN to get as many illegal votes as possible. Yes, Obama knows that the votes are illegal and supports it. He’s a democrat. His mission in life is to steal elections. That’s what they do. That’s all they do. And they will never ever stop until all conservatives are dead… Sorry, drifted off a bit there. You get the idea though. Reality is reality and reality is ACORN and Obama are registering and casting illegal ballots and they will get away with it. There is nothing we can do about it since the democrats control the election offices of the states involved and even if they didn’t a republican would cave as soon as the first “racist” charge was hurled. No use getting hopes up or bothered by that which you cannot control. Go get control of the election offices in the states, then bring it to an end.
Next up: the polls are wrong. Zogby says it’s close and you know he’s the accurate one. Funny, I thought that would be Rasmussen. Well it was Rasmussen until he showed what nearly every poll shows: Obama winning big at the moment. Others say the same thing. Here’s the problem. The polls tend to be right this time of the year. Yes people make up their minds late. However this is about the time that the “October Shift” occurs and it did for Obama. The October Shift is usually a permanent shift. It was for W in both elections. It was for Clinton in 92. Now this is a different type of election no doubt, but like the despair.com poster says, “in the battle of you against the world, bet on the world“. If all polls say Obama is winning and something must happen to change that, then our saying the polls are wrong does not make it so.
There are still surprises that can come out. But there are only 22 days to election day. 3 weeks for McCain to make a move. He started right by unleashing Palin. Despite what Glen and Greg in comments think, she is a big plus for the campaign not a minus. Had McCain picked Romney or Huckabee he would be looking at a Mondale sized butt beating. As it is he still has an outside chance and that is due entirely to Palin’s popularity in the base and with the independents.
The saddest thing here is that McCain could be winning right now. If he had saddled the democrats with the bank situation like he rightfully should have, he would be counting the states to a landslide, not Obama. But alas, you go to battle with the candidate you have and we have one who wants to be nice. I guess it’s up to us to be mean. Hitting Obama on ACORN and the banking crisis will work. Hitting Obama on his ties to corruption will work. Exposing Obama on his tactics in winning his state and federal senate seats will damage him. Rev Wright will damage him. His tax policies will damage him. Use those. Donate to the 527’s like rightchange. Then tell the fringe folks pushing Berg, RICO and “bad polls” to leave the stage.
So who are the dumbest people on Earth according to Chris? Read on. It’s not who you think.
Meet Tom and Tina. They have bad credit. They picked up a loan in the subprime market and now, they can’t pay. They’ve fallen behind and now they are in default. However, they didn’t get their mortgage through Fannie or Freddie. They’re screwed, right? Well, not so fast my friend. You see, Tom and Tina got their loan through the FHA. Well, we can’t have FHA loans looking bad can we? That won’t do one bit. FHA currently has 3 in 10 mortgages and many are like the one owned by Tom and Tina: subprime and in default. Enter congress. Per Bloomberg: Congress has directed HUD to buy up those bad mortgages and re-issue them. They will sell them off to someone but still back them. Meaning when Tom and Tina fall behind again (and they will), the bank will go to HUD and will say “pay their bill please” and you and I will be responsible for it. Welcome to the Hope for Homeowners program that congress snuck into that crap sandwich on 10/1. It allocates up to 300 billion over the next couple years for HUD to do just that. Now, the CBO says that 1 in 3 of these loans will go bad again. But that’s ok. You and I will take care of them.
What makes this worse, is our candidates for president are in full support of this or worse. John McCain proposed just this kind of thing in the debate on Tuesday the 7th. In the last debate Obama suggested this and reducing the principal in the process. Think about that one. Tom and Tina have been paying on their 100k mortgage for a couple years before having trouble. The home is still worth 100k so they have a small bit of equity. If they sold, they would make a small profit maybe depending on the realtor costs. But now enter Obama’s idea. The bank is told to rewrite the load as a 75K loan for 30 more years. Now Tom and Tina turn around immediately and sell the house for that 100K and make a quick 20k plus profit all courtesy of the federal government. They can and will do that over and over. The “poor” know how to game the system and exploit every dollar. This will become the new career. Defaulting on mortgages to get equity and selling for that equity.
I’m beginning to think that the dumbest people on Earth are people like me who actually pay their bills on time. I see all that is going on and I keep thinking why should we when you can apparently just walk away and have no consequences. It’s truly sad and is what happens when we stop judging people based on the content of their character and make failures into heroes.
Let’s hope McCain has dropped his Mr. Nice Guy act and is ready to tear Obama a new one. The gloves have to come off and Obama has to get flustered. Senator McCain needs to pull a Palin here. Totally disregard the moderator and go to town. I’ll be out and about. I’ll get it started but if your comment takes a while, please be patient. Someone will get it when they see it and can approve it.
Finally! Here come’s a 527. It’s about time. The group in question is Right Change
Right Change is trying to run some commercials in the battleground states. The first one hits the Obama tax plan:
The next one hits the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac/Obama connection:
And this one is even better:
If you have some spare change, send a couple bucks RightChange’s way. We need to get these on the air before it’s too late.
Ok, we’ve passed the bailout. Can we stop getting along now and fight back? I’ll admit I’ve been a bit down lately due to the reality of the numbers. Typically these numbers are in concrete this late in the election. Typically, who ever pulls away in October wins. However, who can say this is a typical year. It’s anything but. No one knows anything about Obama other than he’s black and the messiah. It is time to start educating people on this guy as fast as we can.
Palin started Thursday with a very admirable debate run. I think she won it on style and drew it on points. Neither hurt the other, but what Palin did do was stem the bleeding. Now she’s out pointing out Obama’s shady past. Maybe, just maybe, the campaign can turn this around.
The bailout is over and the market will shake it. We can get on with other issues now and deal with the louts who did the bailout stuff to us later. We need to remind everyone that while Obama was sending secret letters to people about this problem, McCain actually submitted bills to stop it. He was shot down by the democrats. And contrary to the people trying to say otherwise, it WAS forcing banks to lend money to people who should never have had loans that caused it. That’s why it’s the SUBPRIME crisis and not the rich people going broke crisis.
Let’s go 527’s. Let’s get to Obama’s record in Illinois and his infant born alive views. Let’s get to the Chicgo Amherst Project where Obama was able to get very wealthy at the same time 150 million dollars “mysteriously” disappeared. No wonder he won’t release those records. These are the fun things. Let’s get to them.
Oil and gas are still our issues. Press them. Palin negotiated an international pipeline to deliver natural gas to the lower 48. She did so by crushing the American oil companies who were given sweetheart deals by her predecessor. She has balanced budgets, she has fought corruption. Obama embraces corruption. He embraces criminals. It’s time to expose him.
I started in church this morning when some congregants were discussing Tina Fey and her Palin protrayals. One remarked “it’s too be we can’t get Fey instead. She seems to be more intelligent than Palin.” To which I leaned in and said “and yet Palin is more qualified than Obama” and brought the discussion to a crashing halt.
Palin is more qualified than Obama. Let them know that. McCain is a million times more qualified than Obama. Shout it out. We have 4 weeks and our pity party is officially over. Time to get moving!
Usually the VP debate is nothing. It’s a sideshow. This year, it’s crucial for Sarah Palin to deliver a good performance. No more hockey mom. No more championship snowmachine rider. No more moose hunter. It’s all business and taking on Obama. Ignore Biden. He’s a clown. Obama needs to be hit and hit hard.
Go Sarahnator!
