NOTE: This is an old post from 2006. But since we just had a primary in “racist” Pennsylvania yesterday and North Carolina is coming up, and since the Obamatopia is fading since we have discovered so much about his past, just keep this post in mind in the next few weeks.
##############
I have been hearing a lot about the ramifications of the political ads targeted at Harold Ford in Tennessee.
People on the left claim the ads were “racist” but I disagree with the racist slam, but I do agree there was some race baiting in the ads and this is something that all black political candidates, especially men, have to deal with.
White folks don’t have to view political ads to be reminded of their biases.
Chris Wallace of Fox talked in an interview about the 15% lie.
Basically black candidates will poll 15 points better in public opinion polls than they do in the voting booth. Makes sense to me.

The article below talked about 30 percent of folks in NC said they would not vote for a black candidate under any circumstances, I believe this is true throughout the country.

This is not rocket science. 45 or 50 years ago there were millions of white folks taking their kids out of schools, keeping black kids from attending schools, refusing to serve black folks in restaurants and other crazy shit.
These people are now in their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. These people vote.

You think a generation of crazy ass white people yelling obscenities at little kids entering a school has changes their stripes enough to actually vote for a nigga running for public office?
C’mon people tis not that hard to process

Don’t get mad at ole Snoop for pointing out the obvious.
I’m shocked I don’t see a political commercial that would contain the following:

“This is James Doe (black guy) a candidate for the United States Senate.”

(his photo stays on the screen for 20 seconds or more, NOTHING is said) 

“you have been warned, vote Tim Doe in November”  .

Wow I say Nancy Pelosi on the View this morning and was shocked. The leader of the most ethical congress in history has been in hiding for quite some time.

From the blog Lee Rockwell.com

Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer about why the Democratic Congress refuses to end the war they were elected to end. She said she needs two-thirds of the votes in each house to override a veto.Nancy, you can audit my class in the Constitution anytime.”All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives…”

That means that to end the war, the House must simply fail to pass a bill to continue funding it. That would take a tie vote!

They could also pass a bill to fund the withdrawal. The President could veto that but then would look like an ass and a liar if he later complained that he lacked the funds to withdraw the troops.

On CSPAN, Joe Biden mumbled out some scenario like “I won’t leave troops in the field without equipment.” Huh? Joe, when the Congress cuts off funding, the program must cease. If the President continues a federal program without authorization, he should be impeached. If his intentional disregard for the Constitution causes a single unnecessary death, he should be prosecuted.

******
Pelosi nixes idea of ‘war tax’

All told, the Democratic proposal for an “Iraq tax” lasted about four hours. That’s roughly the amount of time from when House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) gave life to the idea with his endorsement to when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) strangled it.“Just as I have opposed the war from the outset, I am opposed to a draft and I am opposed to a war surtax,” Pelosi said in a statement issued this afternoon.

Pelosi continues to hide from the Moonbats who are still waiting for her to end this damm war!!!

In spite of what the polls supposedly tell us, I strongly suspect that the Democrats may already have blown the 2008 election. Unlike the late Senator Aiken of Vermont, who proposed that we declare victory and get out of Vietnam, the Democrats want us to declare defeat and get out of Iraq. This, they imagine, is what the American people were demanding in the congressional election of 2006.

But it seems far more likely that the message of that election was not “Get out,” but rather “Win, or get out.” In any case, the position the Democrats are now taking can only have the effect of revivifying and reinforcing the sense of them as weak on national security. And this was the very factor that led to the ignominious defeat of their presidential candidate, George McGovern, in 1972, when they also misread the public temper by paying too much attention to the left wing of their party.

Read the rest here

This from Ryan Sager, NY Sun

The latest USA Today/Gallup poll, conducted Friday through Sunday, on the presidential race is out, and it’s a humdinger. It’s hard to say what the headline even is. Here are a few tries, though:

* Romney’s support drops to within the margin of error of not existing (that’s 3% support in a poll where the margin of error is 3%).

* Giuliani’s support drops 13 percentage points since the last USA Today/Gallup poll, March 2-4 (that’s gotta hurt).

* Fred Thompson (not running, by the way) is now the No. 3 in the GOP field, at 12%.

Ultimately, however, I’ll go with the headline I’ve chosen above: “Thompson Takes Bites Out of Giuliani, Romney.” While the usual caveats apply about the ridiculous earliness of all of these polls — and, now, the fact that voters know precisely zero about Fred Thompson past what they know of him from “Law & Order” — this is a clear data point on the question of just who is hurt by a Thompson candidacy.

And that is, as I predicted, Mitt Romney (who dropped from 8% to 3% when Thompson was added to the poll), and as I did not in any way predict, Rudy Giuliani, who, again, lost 13 percentage points.

So, why the hit to Mr. Romney? Well, his candidacy has been foundering anyway, and now Mr. Thompson could present an acceptable social-conservative alternative (as I wrote in this column). That all but negates the entire rationale of a Romney candidacy (i.e. “I’m the real conservative!” [– a paraphrase])

Why the hit to Mr. Giuliani? Off the top of my head, I’d say conservative voters who primarily want a winner and someone who will be tough on national security might see Mr. Thompson as being as good as the former mayor, but without a lot of the baggage (social-issue positions and ex wives).

Now, some more caveats. There are other, state-by-state polls that tell a slightly different story. In New Hampshire, an ARG polls shows Mr. Giuliani dipping, possibly because of Mr. Thompson. But an ARG poll of likely Iowa caucus-goers shows Newt Gingrich as the biggest loser (with his poll numbers cut more than in half), and not a big change for Mr. Giuliani. In Ohio, a Quinnipiac poll also showed Mr. Gingrich as the biggest loser.

What does it all mean? Partly, that polls this early swing wildly based on name recognition. But also that — and this may end up being quite important as the race wears on — John McCain’s numbers do not seem to be as susceptible to wild fluctuations as those of some of the other candidates. Conservatives, and Republicans generally, don’t like him. But they basically know who he is, they know what they thought of him yesterday, and they know what they’ll think of him tomorrow.

Have you ever heard the saying “words mean things”, us Neocons who listen to Limbaugh has heard that line for years on his show.

Now I’m thinking that I would have to wait several months or a year to recycle the words thrown about by some liberal blogs and their bitching and whining about our situation on Iraq before the elections, and their rants on just why the Democrats needed to be in power.  

The post title come from Fire Dog Lake (one of my favorite ranting liberal blogs) pre election inspiring their readership to help elect new and competent leaders.
It tis already obvious that isn’t the case.

You have this first post and the complaints about the troops drinking unclean water (as if she gives a shit)

Remember the cries about Halliburton, “no blood for oil”, war profiteering?

I thought a vote for Democrats meant that the world would now be safe and peaceful.

Pelosi and the Pips would ride in on white horses and save American from the evils of G-Dub and expose the lies, the corruption, the back room deals and restore order to our torn nation.   

The Democrats have not even been in charge for a month and already they are acting like a bunch of scared, powerless, spineless trolls.

If clean water for the troops was such a hot issue for someone to blog on, then my question is are the troops STILL drinking shit water?

Bush is increasing the troops while the Democrats have their thumbs up their collective asses.
They can’t even agree on how to disagree with Bush.

Yes they will have their non-binding SYMBOLIC resolution. Ooooooo!

I swear Democrats are a bunch of punk asses. Talking all that bullshit before the elections now the liberal blogs are left to try and explain the action OR NON ACTIONS of this bunch of retarded frauds. Classic!    

Link to post here 

What would you say if I told you that American soldiers were being knowingly subjected to unclean water, that the Pentagon and Halliburton, the contractor in charge of delivery of this e.coli and coliform collection, knew this via multiple reports from military doctors who have had to treat our soldiers for contamination issues…and that our troops would have been safer to just dip water out of the Euphrates (where dead bodies float by regularly these days) because the raw river water is less contaminated than what they are being given?

What if I told you that the Republican controlled House and Senate have not even bothered to have an oversight hearing on this issue — not one – because maintaining their rose-colored glasses illusion is more important than keeping our troops safe?

Nothing like our troops brushing their teeth in non-potable water day in and day out as a morale booster, I always say, because it’s so easy to keep an eye out for IEDs and ambushes and a steady hand on the machine gun when you are doubled over with intestinal pain.  Jeebus, what is wrong with these people?!?  As if our soldiers don’t have enough to deal with as it is in Iraq, an American company with the complicity of the GOP leadership of Congress and Rummy’s Pentagon do nothing to clean up this water mess because, clearly, water would be of no real value while our soldiers are serving in the desert. 

And that is just one of twenty outrages uncovered by the Democratic Policy Committee.  Read the whole list, and feel the increase in your blood pressure.  And then ask yourself why it is that you’ve seen so little coverage of this in the corporate media?

Real leaders ask tough questions.  Real leaders hold others accountable — for mistakes, for missteps, for war profiteering, for unnecessary injuries and deaths…for mistakes that should never have been made.  What we have now from the Bush Administration and his do-nothing rubber stamp Republican congressional cronies is failure — a failure of planning, a failure of obligation to our troops and the nation to act with honesty and integrity even when the news is bad, and a failure ultimately for the Republicans who control both houses of Congress, who have an obligation to all of their constitutents and the nation as a whole, to stand up and be leaders.  It’s that simple.

 A comment from this individual prompted me to repost this. I forgot about this bullshit liberal conspiracy.

Posted by Brent Baker - Newsbusters - Link

Although a Monday CBS Evening News story included a soundbite from an expert dismissing the idea as “preposterous,” the newscast treated a far-left conspiracy theory — about how the Bush administration is somehow manipulating the pump 09price for gas to help in the election — as credible and worthy enough to deserve a broadcast network story. Citing how the price of a gallon of gas has fallen to the lowest all year, anchor Katie Couric wondered: “Is this an election year present from President Bush to fellow Republicans?” Over a shot of a “GOP: Grand Oil Party” bumper sticker laying on a dashboard, reporter Anthony Mason asserted: “Gas started going down just as the fall campaign started heating up. Coincidence? Some drivers don’t think so.” The man in the car insisted “I think it’s basically a ploy to sort of get the American people to think, well, the economy is going good, let’s vote Republican.”

Over headlines from Daily Kos and Huffington Post, Mason conceded you can “call the conspiracy theory crazy,” but he touted how “it’s spreading through Internet blogs and over the airwaves. And a recent poll found 42 percent of people actually believe the Bush administration has deliberately manipulated the price of gas to affect the election.”

Back in late September, CNN’s American Morning also gave credence to the conspiracy, as detailed in a September 27 MRC CyberAlert item, “CNN: Are Falling Gas Prices a Conspiracy Between Big Oil and GOP?”, which began:

For the third time in less then a month, CNN has aired a report investigating the connection between falling gas prices and the GOP’s fortunes in the looming fall election. This time, on Monday’s American Morning, reporter Ali Velshi looked into the conspiracy theory that oil companies are trying to help Republicans by dropping prices. Co-Anchor Soledad O’Brien teased the report: “Ahead this morning, is there a conspiracy behind the drop in gas prices? Bloggers say there is something fishy going on.” Velshi gave credibility to the theory: “Are lower gas prices a Republican plot? This blogger wonders if Republicans are trying to soften voters, who have spent the last year angry about high prices.” He even asked: “Could President Bush have had anything to do with plummeting gas prices?” Velshi doubted the conspiracy idea, but then offered up: “Maybe the oil companies realize that the Democrats coming in, it’s going to be bad for them, because the Democrats have pretty much said to the oil companies, we’re going to pile the taxes on if we, we take over in November.”

In late August, a NewsBusters posting by Megan McCormack recounted how CNN’s Jack Cafferty saw a conspiracy by the oil companies: “You know, if you were a real cynic, you could also wonder if the oil companies might not be pulling the price of gas down to help the Republicans get re-elected in the midterm elections a couple of months away.” The transcript of the October 16 CBS Evening News story, as provided by the MRC’s Brad Wilmouth who corrected the closed-captioning against the video:

Katie Couric: “The way things are going at the gas pump, there’s no point in topping off your tank today. Chances are, the price will be even lower tomorrow. As of tonight, gas is the lowest it’s been all year, a nationwide average of $2.23 a gallon. It hasn’t been that low since last Christmas. But is this an election year present from President Bush to fellow Republicans? Here’s Anthony Mason.” Anthony Mason: “For two months now, gas prices have been in free-fall, plunging 81 cents a gallon since August and giving the President some rare good news.”

George W. Bush: “Gas prices are down.”

Mason, over “GOP: Grand Oil Party” bumper sticker laying on a dashboard: “Gas started going down just as the fall campaign started heating up. Coincidence? Some drivers don’t think so.”

Man in a car: “And I think it’s basically a ploy to sort of get the American people to think, well, the economy is going good, let’s vote Republican.”

Mason, over headlines from Daily Kos and Huffington Post: “Call the conspiracy theory crazy, but it’s spreading through Internet blogs-”

Unidentified male radio host: “Are you suspicious? Coincidence or collusion?”

Mason: “-and over the airwaves. And a recent [Gallup/USA Today] poll found 42 percent of people actually believe the Bush administration has deliberately manipulated the price of gas to affect the election.”

Prof. Larry Sabato, University of Virginia: “You don’t think gas prices matter? Just ask Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. They’ll all tell you that their victories or defeats depended in part on the cost of gas at the pump.”

Mason: “In fact, there’s an uncanny connection between President Bush’s popularity and the price at the pump. Take a look at this chart. As gas prices were rising, the President’s approval rating was sinking.”

Andy Laperriere, ISI Group: “You see what appears to be almost a perfect correlation that the President’s approval is really driven by gas prices.”

Mason: “But analyst Andy Laperriere says there’s no conspiracy.”

Laperriere: “It’s preposterous.”

Mason: “Supply and demand determine gas prices, he says, and apart from controlling the relatively small Strategic Petroleum Reserve-”

Laperriere: “There’s virtually nothing the President can do to impact oil prices and gas prices.”

Mason concluded with how lower gas prices are not benefitting Bush because of Iraq: “In any case, Iraq is now weighing down President Bush’s poll numbers. Lower gas prices have made Americans feel better about the economy, but they’re not making them feel better about the President. Anthony Mason, CBS News, New York.”

John Murtha: Majority leader?

Oversight? Here’s oversight.

WATCH VENT HERE

Apparently our enemies, the people who wish to kill us, got the Congress they wanted!

For those who believe that our enemy doesn’t take any interest in our elections or that they don’t care what the outcome is, should take heed to the statements coming from the mouths of these fanatical murderers and ask yourself. How long do we wait until we start taking these people at their word?

Here are just a few examples of what was said in the run-up to election day:

Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the man who led the terrorist group’s 2002 seizure of Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, expressed this wish:

“Of course Americans should vote Democrat,”

“This is why American Muslims will support the Democrats, because there is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq. It is time that the American people support those who want to take them out of this Iraqi mud,”

And

“Bush is a sick person, an alcoholic person that has no control of what is going on around him. He calls to send more troops but will very soon get to the conviction that the violence and terror that his war machine is using in Iraq will never impose policies and political regimes in the Arab world.”

The post-mortems are accumulating, but I think the obvious has to be stated: John McCain and his colleagues in the Gang of 14 cost the GOP its Senate majority while the conduct of a handful of corrupt House members gave that body’s leadership the Democrats.

The first two paragraphs of my book Painting the Map Red –published in March of this year, read:

If you are a conservative Republican, as I am, you have a right to be worried. An overconfident and complacent Republican Party could be facing electoral disaster. Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, and a host of others could be looming in our future and undoing all the good we’ve tried to do.

It is break the glass and pull the alarm time for the Republican Party. The elections looming in November 2006 are shaping up to be disastrous for the GOP as the elections of 1994 were for the Democrats. Most GOP insiders seem unaware of the party’s political peril. Some are resigned to a major defeat as the price we have to pay for a decade of consistent gains, which, they think, couldn’t have gone on forever.

As cooler heads sort through the returns, they will see not a Democratic wave but a long series of bitter fights most of which were lost by very thin margins, the sort of margin that could have been overcome had there been greater purpose and energy arrayed on the GOP’s side. The country did not fundamentally change from 2004, but the Republicans had to defend very difficult terrain in very adverse circumstances. Step by step over the past two years the GOP painted themselves into a corner from which there was no escape. Congressional leadership time and time again took the easy way out and declared truces with Democrats over issues, which ought not to have been compromised. The easy way led to Tuesday’s result.

The criminal activities of Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney and Mark Foley were anchors around every Republican neck, and the damaged leadership could not figure out that the only way to slip that weight was by staying in town and working around the clock on issue after issue. The long recesses and the unwillingness to confront the issues head on –remember the House’s inexplicable refusal to condemn the New York Times by name in a resolution over the SWIFT program leak?– conveyed a smugness about the majority which was rooted in redistricting’s false assurance of invulnerability. Only on rare occasions would the Republicans set up the sort of debate that sharpened the contrast between the parties. In wartime, the public expects much more from its leaders than they received from the GOP.

From Lawrence Journal World - Topeka — Color Kansas purple. (HELL NO!)

In the battle between Republican red states and Democratic blue states, voters on Tuesday gave historically red Kansas a blue tinge.

Democrats Kathleen Sebelius easily won a second term as governor, Paul Morrison swamped conservative Republican Atty. Gen. Phill Kline, and Nancy Boyda upset a five-term incumbent GOP congressman who had received campaign help from President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

Democrats also made gains in the Kansas House.

At a news conference Wednesday, Sebelius said the winners tackled issues important to voters.

“It’s important not to be red and blue states any longer, but really focus on issues that connect with citizens across this country,” Sebelius said.

Meanwhile, Republicans searched for a silver lining.

Ron Freeman, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, noted that three lower-profile statewide GOP candidates received more votes than Sebelius.

“I think it is clear that Kansas is still a red state,” Freeman said. “In a year when every external factor favored the Democrats, Republicans still were the top vote-getters.”

COMMENT FROM ARTICLE:

Morrison and Boyda are moderate Republicans who took the Democratic label in order to win office in a year that being Republican had become a liability. Their views are moderate Republican views, and they will, most likely, act like moderate Republicans in office.

Kansas seems to be the poster state for propping so called moderates.
This is a silly concept; this state is no more Democrat than this country is even after the election results.
If a true liberal were to run for office in Kansas they would be out on their butt.
The concept for working together across party lines is frankly bullshit.
There are no compromises as far as I’m concerned on some basic issues.

• Illegal Immigration and Amnesty for Illegal’s, slap down businesses who hire them! 
• Any sort of NAFTA bullshit or open boarder policy
• Taking money out of my pocket to pimp or perform abortions.
• National Security
• Locking up and convicting sexual predators and repeat criminals.
• Parental notification before performing abortions
• Teaching standards, if you are a lousy teacher, you should be fired! If you are not qualified to teach, your fired! 
• Raising my taxes, repealing any death tax, reforming the tax code
• Limited Government, reduced spending, drastically! No damm bridges to “Nowhere”
• Reduce entitlements, get a job, reduce the size of the gubment tit. 
• Support of our Military
• Support the institution of traditional marriage
• Incentives to help make sure that economically challenged Kansas kids can attend Kansas Universities.
• No stupid living wage bullshit, why not just tell businesses to stay away!
• Keeping nutty liberal judges off the courts

So if you sorry ass Democrats who bullshitted your way into office don’t stand for these things the campaign should start today for your removal.
Hopefully the state Republican Party can forward, QUALITY, likeable, articulate candidates.
No rednecks, or hillbillies, no over the top Christian wackos, start including Negros in these campaigns, recruit people that have a history of conservatism and people that has a history of accomplishing something.
Is that too hard to ask? 

By George Will - Link 

WASHINGTON — At least Republicans now know where “the bridge to nowhere” leads: to the political wilderness. But there are three reasons for conservatives to temper their despondency.

First, they were punished not for pursuing but for forgetting conservatism. Second, they admire market rationality, and the political market has worked. Third, on various important fronts, conservatism continued its advance Tuesday.

Of course the election-turning issue was not that $223 million bridge in Alaska, or even the vice of which it is emblematic — incontinent spending by a Republican-controlled Congress trying to purchase permanent power. Crass spending (the farm and highway bills, the nearly eightfold increase in the number of earmarks since 1994) and other pandering (e.g., the Terri Schiavo intervention) have intensified as Republicans’ memories of why they originally sought power have faded.

But Republicans sank beneath the weight of Iraq, the lesson of which is patent: Wars of choice should be won swiftly rather than lost protractedly. On election eve the president, perhaps thinking one should not tinker with success, promised that his secretary of defense would remain. That promise perished Wednesday as a result of Tuesday’s repudiation of Republican stewardship which, although emphatic, was not inordinate, considering the offense that provoked it — war leadership even worse than during the War of 1812.

Tuesday’s House result — the end of 12 years of Republican control — was normal; the reason for it was unprecedented. The Democrats’ 40 years of control of the House before 1994 was aberrant: In the 140 years since 1866, the first post-Civil War election, party control of the House has now changed 15 times — an average of once every 9.3 years. But never before has a midterm election so severely repudiated a president for a single policy.

From Neal Bortz, yup this sums it up real well… 

I notice that the newspaper and broadcast pundits are telling us who the winners and losers are in Tuesday’s startling elections.  Well … I might as well get in the game here with everyone else. 

The envelope please.

And the winners in this year’s midterm elections are:

Islamic Fascists

(Accepting the award for the Islamic Fascists will be Osama bin Laden)

The focal point of the war against Islamic fascism was Iraq.  The jihadists were sending their fighters to Iraq, there to be killed in gratifying numbers by American and coalition troops.  What was once American resolve is now American weakness.  The people have listened to the politicians — one group that wanted to finish the job, another that didn’t — and gave the nod to the quitters.  Today America is weaker in the eyes of those who would destroy us.  Not a cause for celebration.

Slackards

(Accepting the award will be Shirley Sternfaulter, a young mother of three who wants the government to pay for her child care.)

A huge percentage of the people who went to the polls on Tuesday went there to vote for a living.  They feel that the purpose of government is to make sure that the basic necessities of their lives are paid for, while they spend their own money on the newest technology in flat-screen televisions, gadget-filled cell phones and subscriptions to People Magazine.

Illegal Aliens>

(Putting down his leaf blower to accept the award is Pedro Lopez-Garcia-Menendez-Gonzalez, who pays no taxes in the U.S., and sends 80% of each paycheck back to Vera Cruz to take care of his wife and children.)

Yesterday President Bush as much as said that amnesty would be the order of the day.  Now that those pesky Republicans have been kicked out of the majority in the House of Representatives, the president and the Senate will have clear sailing on their plan for amnesty for the 20 million plus illegal aliens now residing in this country.  Oh .. and the border?  Nothing will be done to stop the Mexican invasion, so as soon as Pedro has his paperwork Maria and the kids will be on a bus.

Those who want a weaker America

(Accepting the award will be Dominique Marie François René Galouzeau de Villepin, sometimes known as Dominique de Villepin, the Prime Minister of France. Dominique was the leader of the Axis of Weasels before he became Prime Minister.)

A poll earlier this year said that something like 58% of Europeans wanted a weaker America.  They got their wish on Tuesday.  Who is going to be there to pull their candied asses out of the oven when they finally wake up and realize the great strides that have been made in the Islamification of Europe?  Hello Eurabia.

The first blow to be struck in the weakening of America will be for the Democrats to get rid of John Bolton as the Ambassador to the United Nations.  They’ll replace him with someone who will not stand up to UN corruption and the forces who want to weaken us.

The Libertarian Party?

(I would be happy to accept this reward, but the don’t like me all that much because I believe that we need to defend this country from both the Islamic fascists and the Mexican invasion.)

Tuesday’s vote showed that a lot of conservatives and libertarians in this country are completely fed up with the Republican Party.  If ever there was a time for the emergence of a third party that would adhere to conservative and libertarian values — without an obsessive allegiance to religious fundamentalists — now is the time.  The Libertarian Party could be just that party.  We’ll see if they’re up to the task.

The leftist media.

(Accepting the award for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The Boston Globe, Time Magazine, Newsweek Magazine and too many more to mention will be Dan Rather)

Ninety percent or more of these people vote Democrat.  They engaged in a six-year campaign of demonization of George Bush.  It worked.

Washington Lawyers

(Accepting the Award will be the President of the D.C. Bar Association)

Get ready for two years of investigations, subpoenas, hearings…you name it.  Everything will be investigated, then investigated again.  But the Republicans did it to themselves…every last bit of it.

 

Also from Moonbattery 

Remember Bush’s stirring address to a joint Session of Congress and the American people on September 20, 2001, while smoke continued to rise from lower Manhattan? The President’s dignified resolve made a stark contrast with Nancy Pelosi’s current shrieking and high fives. Here are a few highlights:

These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life. With every atrocity, they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends. […]

Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen. […] From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. […]

After all that has just passed — all the lives taken, and all the possibilities and hopes that died with them — it is natural to wonder if America’s future is one of fear. Some speak of an age of terror. I know there are struggles ahead, and dangers to face. But this country will define our times, not be defined by them. As long as the United States of America is determined and strong, this will not be an age of terror; this will be an age of liberty, here and across the world. (Applause.)

Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss. And in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war. The advance of human freedom — the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time — now depends on us. Our nation — this generation — will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. (Applause.)

Now the party of decadence, dishonor, and decline — a party that stands primarily for tucking our tail between our legs and running in fear from our terrorist enemies — has been handed control of Congress.

We have tired. We have faltered. If we don’t pull ourselves together, we will fail.

It will be real soon after these idiot Democrats take over that we are going to get bitched slapped by these terrorist bastards.
I can already envision the hand wringing by the liberal pundits as they try to cope with the realization that these Democrat peace creeps won’t have a plan of action.
You know, although the prospects for America are bleak today, Democrats being in power will be entertaining.
I think I will start a “100 things the Democrats will do and say to fuck up the country” after the gavel hits the podium.
I may need to have a separate category for Shrub as he will certainly kiss the ass of the Democrats to get his approval numbers up before he is booted out of office.

Reuters headline: Democrats to target oil majors in new US Congress {h/t OCSBBS.com}

Nancy Pelosi says that “taking away the financial relief given to Big Oil in last year’s Republican-written energy law will be among the six major tasks Democrats plan to tackle in the first 100 hours” after taking control of Congress.

Last year, Congress granted some $2.8 billion in tax relief for new drilling and refinery construction, mostly in the form of accelerated depreciation.

My favorite quote: “You know, (oil companies are) making billions of dollars, charging us $3 a gallon, of course those folks don’t need tax breaks,” said [noted Energy Expert] Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. “We can use that money to balance the budget.” [snark not in original] Earth to Howard: energy companies don’t throw profits into some big Scrooge McDuck Money Bin - they reinvest them to increase the supply and availability of products, hopefully to make more profits! That’s how our capitalist system works, but you wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?

[Pelosi] says Democrats will go after oil companies by enacting tough laws to stop gasoline price gouging, and some Democrats want to impose a windfall profits tax on Big Oil. [Oh, that worked so well last time. –ed.]

Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who heads the House Democrats’ campaign committee, said Democrats will “redirect” the billions in breaks given to oil companies to programs that will move the United States toward energy independence.

[snip]

Guy Caruso, who heads the federal Energy Information Administration, warned that taking away the government’s financial help could kill some energy projects. “The more expensive the project, the more affected they will be from a rollback in tax incentives and breaks,” he said.

Costly projects like drilling for crude in the very deep waters in the Gulf of Mexico or developing the thick oil trapped in shale rock in the Rocky Mountain region could be shut down, said Caruso.

“There are some projects I’m sure would drop off the table,” he added. [emphasis added.]

Just a year ago, a lack of domestic refinery capacity was ackowledged to be the reason supplies were tight, and prices spiked as high as they did. The whole idea of the tax breaks was to direct investment where it was needed most, but it looks like the New! Improved! Congress has a better idea.

REPORT: RUMSFELD TO RESIGN

This is just beyond stupid. Shrub could have fired his idiot ass before the elections and made a difference.
This is like running the mechanic to the engine room of the Titanic, fucken stupid as hell.

KNOWN KNOWNS.

The message is:
That there are known knowns,
there are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns,
that is to say there are things that we now know, we don’t know,
but there are also unknown unknowns,
there are things we do not know, we don’t know,
and each year we discover a few more,
of those unknown unknowns.

DONALD RUMSFELD 

Wow, this is a crazy day. Man these folks on the right are going off the deep end.
But I hope Republicans are paying attention.
I hope you piece of shit RHINO Republicans are paying attention too.
You got jacked because you suck and you did not deliver. So get the fuck out.
Snoop is still kinda dumbfounded tho. Let’s review:
 
No Terrorist Attacks since 9/11
Unemployment all time low
Dow Jones all time high
Gas Prices near $2.00 a gallon.
Ah who gives a shit!

Democrats I bet will all of a sudden see sunshine come out of their asses as they ponder these numbers TODAY.
The will backtrack on Iraq.
They will mumble about a G Dun impeachment process.
The minimum wage will increase, jobs will be lost.
Our boarders will become raging rivers as potential voters flood the country thus more money will be taken out of my damm pocket.
Thanks G Dub (I will never refer to his as Pres… ….. again, he doesn’t deserve it.
Taxes will go up, and up and up.

This was a historically common result, so those of you on the left who are gleeful will eventually see reality set in.
Conservatism still ruled the day, just on the wrong side of the aisle.
Let me be as crude, but as real as I can. The Democrats will fuck this up.
I am as sure of that as I am the sun rising tomorrow.
Although the Democrats punched GOPers in the mouth, they did it with the “right” fist.
Any liberal blogger or political pundit out there who thinks that this amounted to some cosmic shift in ideology is simply a lunatic.
We on the right just need to roll up our sleeves and get back to work.
The Republican party needs to make sure they forward quality CONSERVATIVE candidates, but most of all if you jackasses do get elected do what the hell you are suppose to do. 
Party on, drink up Democrats, but America is the one who will be suffering the hangover in the long run.

 If Democrats take control of the House, (OOPS THEY DID) the chairmanship of every major committee will lurch to the left. SOME SAMPLES:

Government Reform

Current Chairman

Rep. Tom Davis (R.-Va.) Lifetime ACU Rating: 71% 2005 NTU Rating: C- (49%)

Chairman If Democrats Win Majority in House

Rep. Henry Waxman ( D.-Calif.) Lifetime ACU Rating: 5% 2005 NTU Rating: F (15%)

Hyper-liberal congressman from Hollywood. In 1990s, he worked to protect the Clinton Administration from the committee’s investigations of corruption. When Clinton left office, Waxman reversed course, demanding investigations of the Bush Administration. Nonetheless, he objected to the committee’s probe of former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, who eventually pleaded guilty to stealing classified documents from the National Archives. Under his leadership, this committee would launch multiple investigations of the Bush Administration.

International Relations

Current Chairman

Rep. Henry Hyde (R.-Ill.) Lifetime ACU Rating: 85% 2005 NTU Rating: C+ (54%)

Chairman If Democrats Win Majority in House

Rep. Tom Lantos (D.-Calif.) Lifetime ACU Rating: 8% 2005 NTU Rating: F (11%)

When President Reagan was rebuilding U.S. military might to counter the massive arms buildup of the Soviet Union, Lantos pushed for a nuclear freeze and defunding the Nicaraguan Contras. A nuclear freeze, Lantos said, was “the most pragmatic, hard-headed, down-to-earth stand we can take to move away from this suicidal nuclear arms race.” More recently he has supported the International Criminal Court and opposed President Bush’s abrogation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.

Ways and Means

Current Chairman

Rep. Bill Thomas (R.-Calif.) Lifetime ACU Rating: 80% 2005 NTU Rating: C+ (55%)

Chairman If Democrats Win Majority in House

Rep. Charlie Rangel (D.-N.Y.) Lifetime ACU Rating: 4% 2005 NTU Rating: F (15%)

Has opposed major income-tax cuts ever since he was elected in 1970. Voted against the historic Reagan tax cut of 1981. Voted against each of President George W. Bush’s tax cuts. Meanwhile, he voted for President Clinton’s record-setting tax increase in 1993. If Rangel becomes chairman, he is certain to preside over new tax increases — at a minimum allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire without being renewed.

By Philip Klein - The American Spectator 

Those conservatives who are waking up dispirited about the Democratic Party’s takeover of the House and its gains in the Senate would be wise to think back to a Wednesday two years ago.

On the morning of November 3, 2004, conservatives were euphoric as President Bush was re-elected comfortably and the GOP gained seats in the House and Senate — knocking off Tom Daschle in the process. Republicans began to talk in terms of being a permanent majority. The Democrats, meanwhile, were demoralized — seemingly destined for political irrelevance.

A lot has changed in two years, and a lot will change between now and November 4, 2008 — when Americans go to the polls to elect President Bush’s successor. Rather than seeing Tuesday’s defeat as a crisis, Republicans should look at it as an opportunity to rehabilitate the party in time for that crucial election.

In assessing last night’s results it is important to note that it was not a defeat for conservatism; it was a defeat for Republicanism, or at least, what Republicanism has come to represent. In the past 12 years, Republicans went from the party that promised “the end of government that is too big, too intrusive, and too easy with the public’s money” to the party of the Bridge to Nowhere; it took control of Congress on a pledge to “end its cycle of scandal and disgrace” and went down in defeat as the party of Tom DeLay and Mark Foley.

Having abandoned its core principles, the Republican Party had nothing to run on this year, so its campaign strategy centered on attacking Nancy Pelosi — a questionable tactic given that, according to some polls, more than half of the country had never even heard of her.

Republican strategists who projected optimism over the past few months cited as reasons for their confidence: fundraising, incumbency advantage, gerrymandering and new innovations such as “microtargeting.” But as this election made perfectly clear, none of this can bail out a party that is bereft of ideas.

We will hear a lot of reasons for why Republicans lost this year. We will hear that they lost because of an unpopular war, an unpopular president, a culture of corruption, a traditional anti-incumbent six-year itch and a dispirited base. But one thing is for sure. Republicans did not lose on a platform of limiting the size and scope of government.

Just as this election wasn’t a defeat for conservatism, it wasn’t a victory for liberalism. Democrats intentionally avoided a publicized “Contract With America”-style platform advancing a progressive agenda in favor of making the campaign a referendum on President Bush. The closest thing they had to a platform, “A New Direction for America,” was not a sweeping ideological document, but a laundry list of initiatives such as making college tuition tax-deductible, raising the minimum wage, and negotiating drug prices. Though a Democratic majority will likely roll back President Bush’s tax cuts, they didn’t advertise that in the “fiscal discipline” section of their platform. (It is a testament to how enamored Republicans became with big government that they enabled Democrats to run as the party of fiscal discipline.)

After controlling the House of Representatives for the last 12 years and the White House for the last six, a lot of pent up anger developed toward Republicans. If the GOP had to lose an election as a result of this sentiment, better this year than in 2008, when Americans will choose who will lead the War on Terror into the next decade.

The Democratic Party will take power in January. Either they’ll demonstrate to Americans that they have no governing philosophy, or they’ll play to their anti-war base by pushing for a premature withdrawal from Iraq and go overboard with investigations of President Bush.

While the exposure of the Democratic Party during the next two years will help Republicans, the GOP should not head into the next election thinking that running against Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton will ensure victory. Instead, the Republicans need to differentiate themselves by returning to their small government roots and once again becoming the party of ideas.

In 1994, Republicans swept into power by signing a contract with America. That contract has been breached, and unless they want to lose the big prize in 2008, it’s time for that pact to be renewed.

Here is an old post Now that the Democrats are in the drivers seat, we will see more of this crazy shit.
Man I thought blogging was fun before, it will be an absolute hoot now!  

(CNSNews.com - Link) - Democrats keep criticizing the Republican agenda, so let’s look at some — just some — of the bills introduced in 2005 or 2006 by House Democrats, the Republican Study Committee says.

(The Republican Study Committee is a group of about 110 House Republicans organized for the purpose of advancing a conservative social and economic agenda in the House of Representatives. It says it is dedicated to limited government, a strong national defense, the protection of individual and property rights, and the preservation of traditional family values.)

What follows is straight from the Republicans’ press release:

Justice for the Unprotected against Sexually Transmitted Infections among the Confined and Exposed Act (JUSTICE) Act (Lee, D-CA)-H.R. 6083.

WATCH VENT HERE

WASHINGTON (Article link) – Hoping to generate attention for his boss late in an underdog campaign, an aide to Democrat Jack Carter solicited the mother of an Iraq war casualty to appear alongside the Senate candidate at a rally or news conference last week.

But if it was looking for a willing ally, the Carter camp evidently picked the wrong mother.

Eleanor Dachtler of Las Vegas said she was insulted by the overture, which was made in a blind letter that began: “I hope I have reached the right Eleanor Dachtler and that you are the mother of Nick Anderson. If not, please disregard this letter.”

The letter asked if Dachtler would appear with Carter at an event where the candidate would be criticizing the Iraq policy of President Bush and Republican incumbent John Ensign.

Dachtler’s participation could help draw media coverage, she was told. Carter is trailing Ensign by double digits in the most recent Review-Journal poll, conducted last week.

“I read the letter, and I thought, ‘This guy is a (expletive),’” said Dachtler, whose 18-year old son, Nicholas, was killed on Nov. 12, 2004, in the Anbar province.

Dachtler said she was further bothered that Carter aides had checked her voting records to ascertain that she was a registered Democrat.

Dachtler said Nevada lawmakers, including Ensign, were helpful to her after her son died, and so she turned down the invitation.

She said she kept her annoyance to herself until she saw Carter on television with paraplegics at an event to promote stem cell research, similar to the idea his aides had pitched her on Iraq.

“It was almost like he was exploiting these people,” she said.

The letter was signed by Jay Jones, Carter’s press secretary. Jones said Friday said he wrote the letter “in good faith” and intended no disrespect.

Carter did not see the letter and was unaware of his effort, Jones said.

“It was my idea,” Jones said. “Never did I intend to exploit her, nor do I think I have.”

Jones said he and Dachtler mutually agreed after talking on the phone that she probably should not take part in the event, which eventually was scrapped. He said he tried to contact one other family but gave up when he could not find a phone number.

Some family members of slain U.S. soldiers have spoken out on the war, most famously Cindy Sheehan, who has staged protest camp-outs near Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Dachtler said she is conflicted.

“I am looking at it as a mother who lost a son and doesn’t want anybody to lose a family member,” Dachtler said. “But I don’t want my son to have died in vain.

“My son went there for a purpose; he was military-oriented all the way,” Dachtler said. “I don’t care about political reasons for being there. I believe that my son died for the thousands of people who were slaughtered and massacred by Saddam.”

I’m telling you folks, I am already hearing and reading some crazy shit on line about “voter suppression” and early horror stories.
If you combine the media and their fraudulent polls coupled with this supposed early voter suppression talk the Democrats are not confident, they are worried, they are hardly as confident as the media portrayed them.
These people are prepping for failure at 11:30 CDT, it makes no sense if you believed everything the media was saying for the past month.

Democrat Hypocrisy on Iraq

 Old post but since the election is Tuesday, well…

I found this via Democratic Underground. It’s funny many times after I read such nonsense I am flat at a loss for words. This kinda explains Howard Dean, these are his peeps. The kook liberal left can identify with the stupid shit Howard says.
Man, but these nuts are angry and are becoming more unglued everyday.
Somebody get them some good meds or a nice hit off the pipe. Oh crap, that might be the problem. Sorry.

Thoughts on Republican Accusations of “Class Warfare” Against Democrats

The term “class warfare” as it is used in the United States today is very misleading – and purposely so. It is primarily used by Republican operatives to conjure up fears of the “lower class” masses rising up to steal from the rich what is rightfully theirs, in the process plunging our country into Communism or anarchism. For example, the number one Republican operative in our country, George W. Bush, said not too long ago in preparation for another round of tax cuts for the wealthy: “I understand the politics of economic stimulus — that some people would like to turn this into class warfare.”

Not only is this line of propaganda condescending and offensive, as it implies the existence of a so-called “lower class” that is somehow inferior to the upper classes who are the defenders of our civilization. But it is also terribly misleading.
There is indeed a kind of internal warfare going on in our country today, as is testified to by the massive grassroots support for the impeachment of the worst President in our history. But this warfare does not involve lower class vs. upper class, or even the poor vs. the rich. Rather, it is more accurately characterized as a struggle between those who seek responsible government versus those who currently hold power in our country and who wish to expand their wealth and power at the expense of everyone else. In fact, it is the former group, not the latter, who are the defenders of our civilization, and it is the latter group who are plunging our country into anarchism.
The idea that these two groups break out along so-called “class” lines, whatever that means, is ridiculous, unless by that we mean the moral class vs. the r
