DIRTY TRICKS: Obama Smears Palin With Lies
The more the left cries that McCain is desperate the more it becomes apparent just how desperate Obama has become.
Now they try to smear VP candidate Sarah Palin with lies. Via LGF:
Who's Behind Anti-Palin Smear Site?
How low will they go? As low as they feel necessary to win, because they must win at al costs.

Obama Hates All Success But His
He did it his way, using other's money and guilt to become a millionaire in a millionaire's house bought with other people's money. Harsh? Not really, not when he questions his opponent and the money his opponent's wife has. Her money. Cindy's money. Money her parents worked hard to leave her. It's people like Cindy McCain that Obama thinks should fund people like him to get wealthy. Typical Liberal/Progressive, aka Socialist.
It's also sexist when Obama attacks McCain implying McCain should know his wife's business. It's also sexist of Obama to imply that he would know what investments his wife has. As if it's not just his right, but his duty to know. Typical again.
Cindy McCain fired back and, typically, liberals will offer up crap like they're offended by her wealth or some self righteous variation, but it comes down to hate. Hate that she has it and they don't.
Cindy McCain tells Stephanopoulos that Obama Offended Her
Maybe later Cindy will address some of the his "Os" lies about McCain and his stances and go after Obama's false numbers and lies about Republicans and America in general. I think that's called a campaign. Especially since the media is refreshing their lipstick for another day of kissing butt to lie about Obama and attacking all success, but their own. Just like Obama.

Obama, ABC, Others Upstaged, Palin VP
Fox news is reporting that Gov. Sarah Palin, R-AK is McCain's VP pick upstaging Obama, hurting his chances with women voters and once again making Democrats a day late and a dollar short in terms of significant advances for women in politics.
Luce-Booth
Chase-Smith
Novello
O'Conner
Rice
Hutchinson
Dole
Kirkpatrick
Chase
Just to start.
UPDATE: On a related note, Johnny Edwards has upped his speaking fees to $65K per speech since his love child.
UPDATE II: I'm laughing my tail off listening to Democrats trashing Palin as not up to the challenge, not enough experience, a ploy, etc. Hurts when you've been one upped, eh? Just like Democrats gave only lip service to equality for blacks, they have done so with women as well. Walk the walk boys, don't just talk.
UPDATE III: CNN & MSNBC along with the "O" people are pounding on the 'God forbid, but what if McCain dies from one of his many, many health problems???' Of course, God forbid, if something happens to Obama, pork is locked in as the permanent currency of a Biden White House. Think $3 trillion to Delaware for infrastructure. Another $10 trillion for rainy days.
OOPS! ABC was reporting:
ABC News' Kate McCarthy Reports: As vice presidential speculation swirls, Gov. Sarah Palin is watching the fireworks from her home in Wasilla, Alaska. Some reporter will be covering corn festival for a while.
UPDATE III: Did you know (X's 100) that John McCain is 72 today and that woman will be just a heart beat away from the presidency????????

Actually, Carter is a bad person and dumb enough to keep that way.

Obama - privilege, gratification and entitlement

DNC Palooza Greek Night - TOGA!
Michael McDonald, aka Ray the Mimic Charles, III, is opening tonight's political drama with patriotic music dedicating America the Beautiful to all those in hopes of getting their country back. Patriotic, that's a change, right? How special.
Cut to a capitalist series of ads.
UPDATE: Jabbering Joe just came out and gave his Wednesday night Bingo speech that he usually gives at a union hall somewhere on the Jersey shore just across the Delaware state line. Can't look too far for votes. Joe don't need no stinkin' borders, but the seven hour old crowd needed some entertainment. After Joe's lies last night Bozo made himself scarce.
Dennis the Menace is on FOX scaring children and the logical. His jeans look nice.
Despite Denny's sense of Liberte', more ads.
[ABC, NBC, CBS are showing football. Typical]
They're saying that it took people 3 - 4 hours to get in and get a seat, kinda like Democrat health care.
Little Dick Durbin is warming up the crowd.
The video is beginning, the dry ice is ready, It's SHOWTIME!!
VIDEO: A masterful mix of Ken Burns-lite like fact and fiction pumping the Obama into a giant. Big on how great momma and her family was and America is (when Michelle ain't around to be unproud).
The messiah has entered.
Phew! He accepted the nomination.
Now he's thanking the drunk, Mr. Spunck and the punk for their talks at the DNC.
[chant] It's Bush's fault. All of it.
America sucks, veterans sleeping on the streets, etc. ENOUGH!
Obama: Bush/Cheney are asking for another term, but he never liked Eight is Enough.
INSERT: Kind words about McCain, but make as many cheap shots and lies about McCain as possible.
Obama is warming up now, really turning on the preacher patios using bogus financial and economic figures. (lies, damned lies and statistics)
Whew, The Audacity of Hope, Cliff Notes edition.
Look out, we got change ahead.
No lobbyists
No tax breaks except for union companies
Cut taxes for 95% of America
No dependence on oil in 10 years
Will end our addiction to oil
Natural gas, clean coal and nuclear power
New fuels, new cars
A new world class education for all (just like his and Michelle's)
A new army of teachers with higher pay
Public service corp or military gets you education foe every single American
Give Congress' health care benefits to all
Make insurance companies pay
Paid days off for everything
Equal pay for all
Gee, this is going to cost what? Obama has a plan to make corps pay and cut waste in govt as he goes line-by-line through the federal budget (by himself)
Moral independence, more insulation, more ladders, more responsibility for parents to do homework.
OBAMA: I'll be a better commander in chief. I really wanted to go after those pecky terrorists while McCain is a wuss who won't even follow bin Laden to his cave. RETREAT! RETREAT! Iraq has the bucks and McCain wants to keep spending money.
Obama knows how to deter and defeat all the bad guys in the world. McCain doesn't. republicans have squandered thelegacy that the Democrats so tiressly built. Obama understands troops and their needs better. RETREAT! RETREAT! Sit down and talk with dictators and talk Iran out of getting the nuclear weapons they already have. He is the messiah after all.
Now the Obama is gettin hot Democrats are just as patriotic as Repubs, so he has news for you John McCain,.....WE ALL PUT OUR COUNTRY FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
AK47's are not part of the first amendment. We disagree about abortion, but we all want less pregnancy. Gays same rights.
Republicans are scaring people, are full of stale ideals and no vision, but even though I'm inexperienced, have a funny name and am (hush BLACK), I am the best nominee because of you and the politics of the past. If it's worked for 200 years, fuggeddaboutit. CHANGE! CHANGE!
He's back on his myths about his work in Ill.
Now he's plagerizing Ronald Reagan and MLK to do his spirit schtick heading to the finish!!!!!!
Obama is moving into his MLK voice building to the BIG finish (bring in God, America, soldiers, spirit) and gear up the Brooks & Dunn.
There should be firworks.
OMG! Here comes the fireworks!! and Jabbering Joe for group hugs on stage for the AP & the NYTs so somebody will look tomorrow.
Movie trailer music (Remember the Titans), confetti and flags everywhere. I must surely have the vapors.
The crowd is mesmerized. Little baracks coming in nine months.
Albrecht Speers would have been proud this very night. What a production!
Now it's time to add up the tab regardless of whether any of this is possible. Lucy got some splainin to do on her shoppin. Gon be spensive.
Cue up "Born in the USA" (Good Lord I have grown so tired of that song).
Wrap up; The same old tired Democrat/Liberal speech, but done very well. Very well indeed, but pudding without substance done very well is still just pudding without substance done very well.

Obama's Terrorist Past Comes Back To Haunt His Critics
Barack Obama, who touts his 'change', is nothing but a minor bully in a large playground of people unafraid of him or the thugs with which he has surrounded himself. He has no change. Everything in his playbook is old hat except he is a tad better at demagoguery than most. Oh, his disdain for the First Amendment is more open than most. That's change, I guess.
Obama campaign confronts WGN radio
On Wednesday evening, Obama's campaign urged supporters to call the radio station to complain.
"Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse," the note said.
"It is absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airwaves," the note continued. "At the very least, they should offer sane, honest rebuttal to every one of Kurtz's lies."
Zack Christenson, executive producer of "Extension 720 with Milt Rosenburg," said the response was strong.
"I would say this is the biggest response we've ever got from a campaign or a candidate," he said.
"This is really unprecedented with the show, the way that people are flooding the calls and our email boxes."
Christenson said the Obama campaign was asked to have someone appear on the show and declined the request. (emp. mine)
I say that Obama is still plotting and planning with his old terrorist friend, Bill Ayers. The only question for me is how many more Ayers are there inside the campaign and hiding in the shadows.

Cast For Obama's Greek Traedy At Invesco Theater
As nations, dictators, Islamfascists, unions and the Democrat Party anxiously wait for the opening curtain, the Obama campaign's presumed cast for this evening's performance has been anonymously released.Luminaries from around the globe have poured into Denver in hopes of a role or, at the least, to be seen in the glow of the coronation. Caligula was overheard, "Let them drink Pepsi!"
Though not seen, Middle Eastern and European hopefuls, frantically worked behind the scene to make their presence known and their influence felt as their followers danced in the streets in advance of the hoped for cut and run in Iraq.
Street clowns and anarchists gleefully worked late into the night entertaining revelers hoisting golden calves chanting, "Change, change change."
THE CAST:
Soros is the highest ranking and most powerful god, the ruler of Mount Olympus, god of the sky.
alGore, together with Hades is one of the two next most senior gods, god of the sea, rivers and springs, floods and earthquakes.
Pelosi is the secret wife of Soros, the goddess Queen of the heavens and stars, of marriage and fidelity.
Michelle is the goddess of the fertile earth and agriculture. Her bounty sustains mankind.
Bill is the goddess of the hunt, animals, wilderness and the protector of young girls.
Biden is the god of prophesy, light, music, healing, disease and medicine and archery.
Hillary is the goddess of wisdom, the crafts (especially weaving, pottery and carpentry), inner beauty, education and defensive war.
Axelrod is the god of fire, workmanship, artisans and weaponry and the craftsman of the gods.
Hoyer is the god of offensive war and slaughter.
Spitzer is the goddess of love, sexuality, outer beauty and attraction.
Wright is the god of guidance, travelers, commerce, inventions, oratory, shepherds, consolation and reunions, athletics, patron of thieves, and messenger of the Gods.
Medea is the goddess of the home, family and the hearth.
Obama is the youngest of the Olympians, and the god of wine, vegetation, fertility and the theater. He alternates with Hestia in ancient lists of the twelve Olympians. Some scholars do not count Dionysus among the Olympian gods because though he is the son of Zeus, his mother was a mortal.
One unidentified man stood high above the crowd wildly fiddling and screaming, "Washington is burning."

Biden: Obama Has Cured Everything God Couldn't
And he has done it in just a few years which is a testament to Obama's power and intellect. Obama saved veterans, cured welfare and homelessness, why hell, you name it, Obama got it done. Ain't one sick person left in America. And the cured are now rich! And smart enough to vote for Obama!
Now Biden is doing the rhyming sing along schtick, leading the crowd as he trashes he "good friend" John McCain, saying America needs a wise leader not a good soldier. Back stabbing little creep. Typical.
Jabbering Joe is now saying he's heading to Georgia to rebuild what Russia destroyed while pointing out that Obama has always been right about Afghanistan and Iraq while his "good friend", John McCain, has always been wrong.
More about his "good friend", John McCain, "McCain was wrong; Obama was right." Biden must think he's doing a stem-winder in an empty union hall full of ghosts.
The entire speech was a traitorous spectacle of back stabbing a "good friend" with lies, half truths and political bullshit.
Biden is a low life. Lower than I thought.
Give praise!!!! The messiah just came out grab the spotlight. What a relief. I thought we might actually have to spend one more day without his magnificence.
Biden & Obama deserve each other. I do pray that we don't deserve them.

Bill Clinton Does As Expected
He lies.
The first black president did as expected as he spoke his first paragraphs at the DNC tonight by stabbing our current president, freedom and our country in the back by undermining all of our foreign and domestic policy which our enemies will highlight tonight, tomorrow and beyond.
After Hillary's speech last night and Bubba's speech tonight kissing Obama's butt and lying through their teeth about Barack, I think the only question is how much did it cost Obama. How much will it cost us?
Did you expect anything else from a Clinton?
UPDATE: Bubba just took credit for prosperity and peace for America citing that Republicans said he was too young and too inexperienced to be commander in chief as they are saying of Obama now saying what a great job the Clinton led party did and what a great job Obama will do. What a crock of crap. Clinton(s) damn near destroyed us and took credit for Republican efforts as his own. What do you expect from a Clinton?
UPDATE II: It is obvious that Hillary brought proof of a peace deal in the negotiations with Obama's people in her speech last night, tonight Bill publicly kissed Obama's butt and sealed the deal for whatever the Clinton's want. Yes, one would expect that of a Clinton. Wouldn't you?

Democrat Lie Machine Still Intact
I stole this complete from Tony the P, a good reporter and a good conservative. It might shock some to find that the "O" and clan aren't exactly speaking truth to power, but more lies to ambition. Hardly new to them.
FactCheck: Dems distort McCain record
If you've tuned in to the Democratic National Convention this week, you probably heard these lines:
* John McCain voted 90 percent with George Bush
* John McCain gets millions from oil companies
* John McCain is promising tax breaks for Big Oil
Sounds like you shouldn't vote for this guy, right? One slight problem. The Democrats are lying about McCain's record.
How far are the Democrats willing to stretch the truth? Barack Obama has received more contributions from the oil companies and their employees than John McCain has.
The Associated Press did one of its occasional FactCheck stories on the Democratic Party claims and found the party stretching the truth.

Biblical Scholar Pelosi Blows It Again
Lost in the celebrity noise of the debacle in Denver is news of Institute of Notre Dame high school graduate, Nana Pelosi, once again stepping up to the plate to divulge her truth about religious matters.
First, Nana brought us that old Sunday School favorite:
“The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, 'To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.' "
No word in which Sunday School she got it.
Now Nana is teaching the Church the errors of its teaching:
When Democrats decided they wouldn't let the GOP be "God's Only Party," they weren't kidding. Thanks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, none other than St. Augustine has been summoned to Denver.
He was resurrected as Pelosi was trying to respond to the question that refuses to die: When does human life begin? This time, it was Tom Brokaw asking on Sunday's "Meet the Press." Citing Barack Obama's recent pass on a similar question—"At what point does a baby get human rights?"—Brokaw asked Pelosi what she would say to Obama were he to ask her advice.
Pelosi didn't finesse her answer, as Obama did when he said the question was above his pay grade, but she may wish she had.
"I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time," Pelosi began. "And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctrines of the church have not been able to make that definition. . . . St. Augustine said at three months. We don't know. The point is, is that it shouldn't have an impact on a woman's right to choose. . . . I don't think anybody can tell you when life begins, human life begins."
I'm thinking there are going to be some people that will disagree. Like a Cardinal Egan:
STATEMENT OF HIS EMINENCE, EDWARD CARDINAL EGAN
CONCERNING REMARKS MADE BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Like many other citizens of this nation, I was shocked to learn that the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America would make the kind of statements that were made to Mr. Tom Brokaw of NBC-TV on Sunday, August 24, 2008. What the Speaker had to say about theologians and their positions regarding abortion was not only misinformed; it was also, and especially, utterly incredible in this day and age.
Go read the rest of Cardinal Egan's response at Thespis Journal.

Obama's Going Greek At Invesco Field
How tragic. Clinton's Lago to Obama's Othello?We need a chorus, a trojan horse and a villan. No, Bill won't be there.
DNC's Second Ladies Happy Hour
It was part deux for the ladies at the DNC. Rolling out the happy crowd may not have won anybody over as they tended to shriek to be heard leading up to the real nominee, Hillary.
The Chippendales sent a Virginia sub to entertain the ladies in perennial Virginia candidate Mark Warner as he did a grotesque Kennedy-lite rendition of "how I saved the free world without lifting a finger, from Virginia". He never got around to that whole support thing for the messiah, as he focused on what he did as governor of Virginia. Did I mention that he is the former governor of Virginia. He also has bold teeth.

The Crying Game
First the Hillary had her go. YouTube - Hillary Clinton Crying

Nana Pelosi Out Of Her League & Desperate
Pelosi to protesters: "Can we drill your brains?"
House Democratic leaders and protesters waving McCain signs had a war of words Tuesday at a press event outside an old train station. The demonstrators interrupted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with chants of “Drill here! Drill now!”
Pelosi paused and asked the group, “Right here?”
Seeming to enjoy the back and forth, she followed with another question: “Can we drill your brains?”
She went on to refer to the protestors, who continued to chant sporadically, as “handmaidens of Big Oil.” Arguing that increased offshore drilling would only reduce gas prices two cents in 10 years, she referred to the demonstrators as the “two-cents-in-ten-years-crowd.”
Pelosi, speaking as if to children, hasn't a clue of what Americans want, only her agenda is important. I can hear her spouting, "If he jumped off a cliff, would you?", finishing with bogus "facts" about what would happen in her desperation to force her point.
Pelosi really is unfit to be Speaker.

AP's war in 4 words: Russia is always right
The Truth About Russia in Georgia
Michael J. Totten is writing what the AP and other likewise media outlets won't, the truth. The new Soviet Union must weaken those countries on its periphery if they cannot make them part of the new Soviet. Freedom is a pesky thing when people taste it, they like it and tend to not want to give it up.
The new Soviet Union doesn't like that and, it seems, neither does the mainstream media. It might just prove President George W. Bush and the United States right. That scares the hell out of them.
Read the rest of Totten's story for the truth and hit his pay jar, he is quickly becoming a national treasure.

Sabato Bumps VP Bump
Larry Sabato states that choosing a VP doesn't give a presidential candidate a bump in the polls, but history shows different.
VP choices yield favorable bump data say
Sabato does have a political agenda and with the choice of Jabbering Joe the message that must go out is that it is all about Obama and VPs don't really matter. Well, in Biden's case the VP slot does matter. BO's hope was an inroad to the Joe six pack vote, catholics and middle of the road Dems. I'm thinking 3 out 3 ain't bad except these are strikes. Swish, swish, swish.
The mouth that bored is a choice I can't figure out. I think Obama has nothing, but this is beyond a rookie mistake. Biden is a mistake of gigantic proportions. Biden's personal story is a wonderful story of family winning over tragedy and politics. Biden appears to have single handedly saved AMTRAK as he befriended conductors year after year, but is that a story that rings true with the voters when they're standing at the gas pump, in the grocery store, hugging their soldier goodbye or when they're filling out their tax forms?
Sabato is wrong here. Biden brings to the ticket about as much as salt to a wound. It may hurt good, but it doesn't make the patient happy or healed.

Drinking In America
I'll catch it for this.
MADD is mad. Over the edge, irrational and goal driven just as the hatchet swingers were last century as they chopped up bars. Mad, as in wacko. They have had the opposite effect of their desires as underage drinking is driven into the shadows and automobile backseats nationwide fueled by cheap booze illegally purchased and consumed. I'm with DAMM, Drunks Against Mad Mothers, since MADD has become not only anti-alcohol, but slave to federal enforcement of what should be a state issue, actually, should be a parental issue..
To me it is simple, if you are old enough to die for your country, you are old enough to drink an Old Fashion.

Racism Beats Obama & Other Liberal Crocks Of Crap
Racism is the only reason McCain might beat him.
What with the Bush legacy of reckless war and economic mismanagement, 2008 is a year that favors the generic Democratic candidate over the generic Republican one. Yet Barack Obama, with every natural and structural advantage in the presidential race, is running only neck-and-neck against John McCain, a sub-par Republican nominee with a list of liabilities longer than a Joe Biden monologue. Obama has built a crack political operation, raised record sums, and inspired millions with his eloquence and vision. McCain has struggled with a fractious campaign team, lacks clarity and discipline, and remains a stranger to charisma. Yet at the moment, the two of them appear to be tied. What gives?
If it makes you feel better, you can rationalize Obama's missing 10-point lead on the basis of Clintonite sulkiness, his slowness in responding to attacks, or the concern that Obama may be too handsome, brilliant, and cool to be elected. But let's be honest: If you break the numbers down, the reason Obama isn't ahead right now is that he trails badly among one group, older white voters. He does so for a simple reason: the color of his skin.
Here are some real simple reasons:
America doesn't trust him
America is seeing him as an empty suit
America doesn't like what they hear
America thinks his choice of friends, advisors & mentors is risky
America is a positive nation while liberalism is a negative force
America understands that he and his supporters aren't telling the truth
Some simple truths about this article:
Bush is not reckless about Iraq, he has been right
Bush has not mismanaged the economy, Congress has
Obama does not have every natural and structural advantage, just a thin veneer of charisma
McCain is not a sub par nominee with a "list of liabilities longer than a Joe Biden monologue"
McCain does not lack clarity & discipline, Obama does
Weisberg is a moron for saying Obama "may be too handsome, brilliant, and cool to be elected"
Obama may lose because of older white voters, but the only reason he is the nominee is because of black voters and liberal guilt-ridden voters.
I am sick of race in this election because I hear about it every day from Obama, blacks and liberals bringing up Obama's skin color because they are terrified that Obama may lose. He will and with their help.

Obama Wins Delaware
and gets years and years of the foreign policy expertise of Neil Kinnock who didn't think Margaret Thatcher won the Falklands War in the proper manner! In the hope for change category, Biden brings 35 years of get-along politics in a pork laden sty of corruption and back slapping.
Biden also brings a style of stem-winding stump speeches that absolutely wow listeners into a complacent stupor of magnificent support.
Now, onto the other 56 states.
UPDATE: Even though they didn't get the e-mail announcing the second annointment, kos and kids think:
This has been the best veep rollout EVER.
Obama's finest operation yet!!! Gush, gush, GUSH!

Dipping Into The Stink
I've enjoyed reading Progress Ohio. I haven't agreed with it, but it is usually interesting. Therefore it is sad to see that the minute Obama is being unmasked that PO has to get right down in the stink.
On the Blog Net Ohio roll PO has numerous stories about McCain's breakup with his first wife and marriage to Cindy highlighting it as an affair. He's probably never hear that Christians aren't sin free, just forgiven. Next he moves on to McCain's housing as that is the de jour liberal bitch, even Google earthing his properties.
Maybe PO might help us and Google earth BO's properties including the sweetheart patch in back for Michelle's veggie garden. While at it maybe he can mark on the map Ayer's bomb making facility, Farrakhan's secret armory (complete with steel bowties) and "Rev." Wright's AmeriKKKa. That about do it.

Woman Tells Russian General To Stuff It
A real woman, not some paper tiger spewing crap from their ivory tower, so let the left go nuts about how President Bush is saber rattling. He's not rattling sabers, Condi Rice is knocking heads.
"When you threaten Poland, you perhaps forget that it is not 1988," Rice said, according to The Associated Press. "It's 2008 and the United States has a ... firm treaty guarantee to defend Poland's territory as if it was the territory of the United States. So it's probably not wise to throw these threats around."
When and if Obama has something worth while to utter it is sure to be written by someone else. Maybe Chairman Short, aka Putin.

Docs: Phelps Selling Obesity
People: Docs Selling Crap
Since the medical and education professions have been able to make sexual identity, sexual equality and revisionist history more important than education and being a kid, they have moved on to switching back and forth between arguments that our nation's children don't have enough to eat, are eating too little, have too much to eat and are overeating. Kinda like the Chicken Littles arguing that the planet is too hot, too cold and never just right.
Now they're attacking Tony the Tiger and Michael Phelps.
Breakfast of a champion? Frosted Flakes! Phelps signs with cereal
"I would not consider Frosted Flakes the food of an Olympian," said nutritionist Rebecca Solomon of Mount Sinai Medical Center.
"I would rather see him promoting Fiber One. I would rather see him promoting oatmeal. I would even rather see him promoting Cheerios."
...
Still, in a country where childhood obesity is an alarming issue, Phelps' iconic image sharing space with Tony the Tiger sends the wrong message, experts say.
"For a guy like Michael Phelps who isn't worried about obesity because he's burning thousands of calories as an athlete...eating Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes every so often is not an issue," Solomon said.
Phelps is not doing the Olympian thing? Like they'd know what an Olympian could and should do.
Why not quit screwing with their make work formulas and tell the kids to get up, get out and play?
May I suggest tag and dodge ball?

August 20th Is here Again
Liberals, progressives and socialists are planning their Democratic convention. Russia has invaded another country to squash any hope of true democracy. Members of the convention, just as in Russia and with other communist sympathizers, are blaming America first and foremost for baiting the Russian bear.
Nixon or Bush? Czechoslovakia or Georgia? Both. 1968 is back, but this time the democrats have a planning commission called Recreate 68 and they are just as traitorous and stupid.
McCarthy and Humphrey were battling for the nomination by the Democratic party. One openly wanted to appease the Soviets while the other wanted to walk a thin line trying to unite the anti-freedom and traditional wings of the party by quietly hoping to eviscerate the American military and our country's hope of lessening war through the spread of freedom and prosperity. Obama and Clinton. ibid.
Open and quiet sympathizers of communism were not directly confronted by the media, but were celebrated as agents of change. ibid.
The Democrat Party held up Humphrey, McCarthy, Muskie, McGovern, Bond and Ted Kennedy as agents for that change. Obviously, little has changed in the Democrat Party.

New Life
After scads of emails, actually a few, concerning where I have been I decided to share about where I have been, being absent, from this blog. Unfortunately, it does not involve forgotten weekends across the border nor anything remotely about lotteries.
My family is a large one. With many sisters, many nieces and nephews and even more of their children, there are many lives of many differences. One of my sister's children has had a hard life of which we were kept in the dark until that life had affected her children. Badly.
As families do when they are real family, we discussed what to do, not how to tut-tut and reprimand, but to take action to assist. Our part in this drama involving the magnificence of life has been to welcome into our home a wonderful, but storm tossed 14 year old who has seen the wrong side of Yuma and life.
It is sad, but at the same time delightful to watch her realize that she doesn't have to fight for food. It is frustrating, but natural to stem the tide of attitude born of fear as she realizes her room is her room and will not be taken away nor will she "move" once again because mommy needs to find work. As it was with our now 24 and 26 year olds, it is the little things that are the signposts of moving forward, treading water or drowning. Our 24 year old son has been indispensable in being a listening post and her supporter, quietly encouraging her that this isn't a temporary station offering stability which will be snatched away at the first hint of discord.
It has been humorous to watch her interact with my wife's Italian family. Soon after arrival we were off to the beach for a week to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday with no number. In a quiet talk on the beach I found that this was her first vacation and that she felt guilty for it. She felt guilty for the piles of food, the laughter, the constant hugging and the fact that we had not just one, but two houses looking out over the Atlantic that were ours alone to enjoy.
The little things we take for granted softened that guilt as she silently watched the prayers before each meal, one fisherman son gently chiding the CEO son for being a cheapskate, a grandmother sharing her crossword puzzle with a grandchild snugly explaining the purpose and the meaning of words, the unending waves begging to be ridden and the whole cast directed by the ghost of a now gone 4' 10" giant of a woman who brought, shaped and ruled a family into being Americans. Thank God this ghost didn't have time to teach this new family member how to play cards because I have never even come close to beating one of them in any game domestic or foreign.
That's where we have been and am now. Thank God for it, but how do I explain that, yes, Ireland is over the horizon on the far side of the Atlantic? She thinks I am making that up.

I love the comment below about John Edwards, his love child and the necessary avoidance, and later justification, of his personal life made public, ala Gary Hart, by John Edwards.
Here's how this seedy little Democrat soap opera is going to play out long term. It's going to be a remake of The Duke and Duchess of Windsor as performed by the Clampetts.

Dumber Than Not Drilling
A return to 55 mph?
As you zip down the highway at 70 mph, remember that your lead foot will cost you at the pump in these days of $4-a-gallon gas.
Some lawmakers in Congress have certainly considered the consequences of your driving habits. And they want you to slow down.
Record-high gas prices have triggered talk that it may be time to lower the speed limit on federal highways to 55 or 60 mph.
"I think that's a great way to save fuel," said U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, D-Waynesville, N.C. "I think it would be the right thing to do."
U.S. Sen. John Warner, R-Va., raised the possibility of reducing the speed limit to 55 or 60 mph early last month. He asked Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman to study whether a lower speed limit would reduce gas prices at the pump and report back on how much fuel it would save.
In the House, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., has filed legislation that would impose a national speed limit of 60 mph on highways in urban centers and 65 mph in less populated areas. A hearing on the bill hasn't yet been set.
The push for a lower speed limit harkens back to 1974, when the country was facing another energy crisis and Congress and President Richard Nixon reduced the limit to 55 mph in response to the Arab oil embargo.
Wear your own damned sweaterCarter Shuler. Quit being a nanny and let us drive without you, Warner and any other government overseer sitting in the backseat driver's seat.

Obama & His Political Salute To Desclos
One Nation, Under a New Obama SaluteI'm thinking they haven't really thought this through.
A hole. A hole into which Obama will lead us?
A zero? The grand sum of Obama's plan?
O? The "Story of O"? An erotic story of dominance and submission? Politically it may work as a fascist suggestion in a reality based community, but who is "O" and who is Obama?
There are other implications that I leave to your imagination. None of them good, but all are unfortunately accurately descriptive.

How many times does Nana have to tell us? Us mere handmaidens of the oil companies. She has made it clear over and over that what we want is wrong and it will not happen. The more we ask, the angrier she will get and we don't want that do we? She may with hold dessert, if necessary!

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: But if you feel you have the better arguments why not give a straight up or down vote for drilling?
SPEAKER PELOSI: Because the misrepresentation is being made that this going to reduce the price at the pump. This is, again, a decoy, this is not a solution.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Well but if you’re right, why not let it be debated out and have the vote?
SPEAKER PELOSI: We have a debate very single day on this subject. What you saw in the Congress this week was the war dance of the handmaidens of the oil companies. That’s what you saw on the Republican side of the aisle.
Democracy only works when a good mommy, especially a millionaire mommy from San Francisco, is in charge. A mommy who loves us for all of our faults and will always be there to pick us up when we make mistakes and think for ourselves.
How foolish of us to question Nana.

Queen Of Porn's Mother Unhappy With McCain
Kathy Hilton lashes out at McCain ad calling it a 'waste'
Kathy Hilton is the latest member of the Hilton clan to come out swinging against presidential hopeful John McCain.
"I've been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad. I actually have three responses," Hilton, 49, told the Huffington Post.
"It is a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign," she said. "It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs. And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States."
Bursting the bubble of a pompous jerk running to be the Democrat presidential candidate is a waste of time? Showing the country what an arrogant puff Obama is is frivolous?
That the ad points to you and your family's lifestyle says more about you than anybody else. Google your daughter's name and see what is frivolous and a waste. Then open your mouth.

Another Anti-American Obama Mentor Found In The Woodpile
via Gateway Pundit
Media Ignores Obama's Communist Mentor
The Post-Chronicle reported:
In a strange development, supporters of Barack Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, are openly debating the nature and depth of Davis's commitment to the Communist Party and his relationship with the Democratic candidate. The debate has gotten heated.
This unusual debate, which is taking place on Obama's official website, raises the question once again as to why Obama has not been asked by the major media about this relationship. Davis was identified as a Communist Party member by various investigative committees and acknowledged his party membership in a private letter obtained by John Edgar Tidwell, who was sympathetic to Davis and edited his books.
On one side of this debate is somebody claiming to be the son of Davis. On the other side is Alan Maki, a political activist and union organizer with a long history of involvement in left-wing causes. Indeed, Maki confirms that he has been a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and was a communist decades ago when he was in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
Although he doesn't support Obama because of his ties to Big Business, Maki wrote a blog on the Obama website stating that he was grateful to Obama for bringing Davis to his attention, and that he, Maki, regarded Davis as his mentor, too. Maki announced the establishment of a "Frank Marshall Davis Roundtable for Change" and invited Obama supporters to join it.
Maki did his homework, which is more than most of our own media have done, and he obtained Davis's books. It is absolutely clear, Maki stated, that Davis was a communist.
In his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, Obama cites "Frank" as someone who gave him advice on various matters, including race, American values, and college, and read poems to him during his high-school years in Hawaii. One of Davis's poems was a tribute to the Soviet Red Army. Another mocked the work of Christian missionaries.
Wright, Farakhan, Ayers and on and on. Obama is not telling voters the truth about himself, his beliefs and his life. If he said hello I wouldn't believe him. Not for a second.

AP: George Washington's Multiple Personalities
In accordance with the losers at AP and their arrogant, yet stupid decree of allowing our 1st amendment rights to go up to only 4 of their illustrious words at a time;
whom are white men
There has been one dead white guy on the dollar bill for years. Also known as the father of our country, George Washington, has been that guy. Not guys. Guy. One. As in 50 states, not 57 or 58. One.
Now, if Obama and his PR firm, AP, want to nuance with the best of the Clintons and the Kerrys and say they were talking multiple one dollar bills and on all those dollar bills was a white guy, well, that would be normal for all. Is is isn't it? Otherwise AP and their client, Obama, know something the rest of us do not know.
Oh, BTW, Obama did interject racism into the campaign. He did it on purpose because his handlers thought they could benefit from it. Now that they haven't, the handlers say that race is now important because everyone knows that America is a racist nation. Except America.

An Obama Supporter Worries
Dear Abby,
I am a crack dealer in Beaumont , Texas , who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth .
One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas .
I have two brothers: one is currently serving a life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children.
I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview . She is a part time 'working girl'...
All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiancee and look forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her. Should I tell her about my cousin who supports Barack Obama for President?
Signed,
Worried About My Reputation
Thanks to Webutante

Pelosi The Censor Stifles Dissent In US House
After Nana Pelosi, the housewife from Baltimore, and her cronies got on their enviro-friendly jets and charters to gas off to where ever, the lights, sound and cameras in the House of Representatives were purposely turned off as 20+ members attempted to continue debate on our energy crisis, the liberal dependence on foreign oil.
Nana, the mayor's daughter from Baltimore, censored any dissent from her imperial decree that there shall be no discussion or debate that might reach the ears of the voters. Many voters heard her and Punch Happy Harry Reid claim that President Bush could lift an Executive Order banning of shore drilling, which President Bush lifted, and all would be well. Now, she doesn't want the voter to know that she, Nana Pelosi, queen of the tuna deals, refuses to listen to them, so now we can't listen to anybody from the House.
Now we can see that Liberalism is Fascism.

John McCain's Days of Thunder
Is McCain peaking too early?
Is it possible for McCain to peak? It may be that McCain is Cole Trickle, bred for racing and winning, but finding ways to lose because he doesn't understand the vocabulary of the race.
Or maybe the Obama is peaking with shallowness and lies, ergo he is losing ground. Even with his pit crew, the media.
Down the stretch McCain will keep on keeping on, allowing the Obama to wow the press, while always gaining ground until the pass into first.
Harry: You're going to burn the tires. -
Cole: Everybody else slowed down.
Buck: He's right. Check his lap times. Everybody else has fallen off.
Even with the press lying about Obama's lies, how will Obama win if the public, already in July, is beginning to believe Obama to be less than truthful?
McCain's boringness may well be what puts him over the finish line in first as he honestly and calmly lays out his positions to a yawning press, but a voting public that defied the printed wisdom and voted for Bush when they sensed that Gore and then Kerry were iffy putzes.
Cole: You didn't know how this was going to turn out.
Harry: It's like you said: There's nothing you can't do in a race car.
Cole: We won.
Harry: Yeah.
Cole: Can you walk, or am I going to have to carry you?
Harry: Where to?
Cole: Victory Lane.
Harry: Oh yeah.
Harry: Walk? Hell... I'll race your ass!
Oh, the Obama is a perfect Russ Wheeler as an arrogant puff who looks good, but just doesn't have what it takes.

Exxon's "Obscene" Profits Dwarfed By Obscene Taxes
Good catch by BizzyBlog
Once again the media obscures facts to get their obscene comments into play. Unfortunately, their reporting isn't helping their profit margin because readers consider their reporting obscene.
Media Near-Secret: Exxon’s Taxes Almost 3x As Much As Profits
Looking at it from another perspective, Exxon Mobil’s profit of about 8.4% of sales, while the taxes paid represented over 23% of sales. (August 1 AM Note: This was originally said to be 32%, but has been corrected. The transposition zombies have been appropriately tracked down and punished.)
It’s remarkable that CNN even reported the taxes paid, as they were the clear exception:
This UK Guardian article about the Democrats’ objections to Exxon’s profits didn’t.
Kristen Hays at the Houston Chronicle didn’t.
Bloomberg didn’t.
The Associated Press ….. you’re kidding, right?
The word “tax” does not appear in the Guardian, Chronicle, or AP articles. Bloomberg only used the word in connection with the after-tax effect of the company’s Exxon Valdez settlement.
So who are the greedy ones — Exxon shareholders who want a return on their investment, or the myriad government entities who insist that their grubby fingers be in the pie?
Oh, and would it be impolite to point out that Uncle Sam alone is currently spending $2.9 trillion a year, or $91,958 per second?
Cross-posted at NewsBusters.org.
At a time that America needs energy independence it is dependably sad that the media is in the bag for liberals who want to scuttle what they see as non-aligned profit centers. Maybe if Exxon started shipping in 'green' barrels so Nana Pelosi's family and friends could make a profit...

Another Woman Than Hillary One More Time
Clinton Supporter Angered By 'Other Women' Obama VP Talk
A longtime friend of Sen. Hillary Clinton said it's "incomprehensible" that Sen. Barack Obama would choose another woman to be his vice-presidential candidate over Sen. Hillary Clinton.
I'm bettin' heavy if the Obama taps a woman it won't be Hillary nor will it involve a blue dress.
