Four more years would be insane

Lower your Taxes - you know Obama Won't
PROTECT THE LOWER CLASS - You know McCain won't!

Women For McCain

2008-08-04T00:14:00.002-04:00

The town of Sturgis, South Dakota will witness, on Monday, the rare fusion of drunken debauchery, public stripteasing, motorcycle rallying, a live performance by Kid Rock, and - last but not least - a veterans-themed speech by presidential candidate John McCain. Seriously.

As the presumptive nominee takes the stage, the "Ringin' Wet & Wild" women's wrestling event will be taking place on the main amphitheater. Two hours before then, the "Miss Buffalo Chip Beauty Pageant - Bikinis on the Beach" will be staged at a different venue. That affair is described by ESPN's Jim Caple as "essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too."

Those Chinese, What A Sense Of Humor

2008-08-02T23:29:00.003-04:00

A monkey smokes a cigarette as part of a street performance in Xian, northern China's Shaanxi province. A French association of animal lovers recently launched a petition aimed at encouraging China to ban, by the Summer Olympics, the killing of dogs for food, as they claimed the practice of preparing canines for the pot often involves slow and brutal methods in which the animal is beaten to death, boiled alive or hung up to bleed while still breathing. (AFP / Getty Images / STR / March 25, 2008)

Just a few of the things the Chinese will be trying to hide during the Olympics in August. God knows they can't hide the pollution.

Washed Up Pumas

2008-08-02T22:46:00.003-04:00

Are there Pumas in the pack that are being thrown overboard? Are they starting to eat their young as they did in the Democratic Convention on "West Wing".

"Yes we are a family and should stick together at all times. However this family has a way too much sibling rivalry for me. I come, I read, then I have to leave. I think our mama needs to step in, take a few cubs by the back of the neck and put them in a time out till then can behave like adults".

Now Who's Running A Negative Campaign

2008-08-02T20:24:00.005-04:00

Anti-Obama? Pro-Hillary? Puma Thugs? What's the message here? How would you like these guys campaigning for your candidate. Somehow they don't look like they could convince me to vote for Hillary or they're that interested in American democracy. Happy Happy Joy Joy.

UPDATE: Is it possible those sly nasty Pumas photo-shopped a pic that wasn't theirs? What if these young people are really Obama supporters? I think they'd
be pissed.

You Can't Get Any More Blunt Than This

Former Australian Army officer David Kilcullen, who helped Gen. David Petraeus “design his 2007 counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq,” is currently an adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. In a recent interview with Spencer Ackerman, Kilcullen, the main author of an upcoming handbook on counterinsurgency for senior policy-makers, said he tells them they should “think very, very carefully before intervening” in other countries. As an example, Kilcullen called the invasion of Iraq “f*cking stupid“:

More bluntly, Kilcullen, who helped Petraeus design his 2007 counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq, called the decision to invade Iraq “stupid” — in fact, he said “f*cking stupid” — and suggested that if policy-makers apply the manual’s lessons, similar wars can be avoided in the future.

“The biggest stupid idea,” Kilcullen said, “was to invade Iraq in the first place.”

Don’t care if they’re nice or mean. This needs publicity - PERIOD. These people have NO basis on which to speak to us in the manner they have. I want dates, times, and which PROWL they are responding to.

Murphy,
Great show! To me one of the more telling comments concerned *61’s decision to move his speech to Mile High Stadium without consulting the party. Firebelle Puma has been writing about his wasteful ways and how economically he would be a disaster for our country.
When you put into context his campaign, the questionable bundler donations, his political track record in Illinois, and now the Mid-East & European tour, he is a train wreck waiting to happen.
I can’t say this enough, *61 does not represent the best interests of this country or its citizens. Ask yourselves, how does anyone function under a boss, family member, or friend that is pompous or arrogant? These are not the characteristics that I want in our next President.
This movement has so many levels to it, and I’m glad that we are fighting back and taking a stand.

Dean later responded on his bus, "I'm not sure all of them are Clinton supporters," he said. "I think some of them are having fun at the Democrats' expense. I think shouting through somebody's speech is low-class."

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwoole

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true

Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops it's where you'll find me, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to, for why, oh why can't I? I........

Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Singing, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world, world....

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where, you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I........

PUMA PAC ladies are getting their bloomers in a bunch over Barack Obama's speech in Germany. They are demanding to their legislators or anyone who will hear them that he is in violation of some obscure law called The Logan Act.
The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.
I wasn't aware that speaking with foreign dignitaries and making speeches was negotiating. These women are loons.

"Even if Hillary should publicly – in person – denounce all 527s who are trying to get her nominated and elected, we can’t give throw in the towel. Clearly, the Chicago political mafia is strong-arming her to disown us. These people will stop at nothing to get Obama elected; hence, all the threats we, ourselves, have been getting lately. I say that this should make us stronger. Because such a speech coming from her would mean that even HER right to free speech was being taken away. Go back and watch her video, when she suspended her campaign, and she thanked us from the bottom of her heart. This lady loves her supporters. She is sincere in that. And if words come out of her mouth that say otherwise, you have to know that she is being strong-armed to say them. What a shame. The Democratic Party that I love is no more. One positive note: Bill doesn’t seem to be giving Barack much support, if any. The thugs have not strong-armed him. Not yet. Be brave, PUMAs."

MountainSong Isn’t ‘barack’ that noise people make when they puke?
DancesWithPumas Unfortunately, even if Obama was a bonafide nominee, as his campaign continues, it is apparent that he doesn’t stand for anything, he contradicts himself at every turn, blames others for criticisms directed at him, is disloyal to his allies, doesn’t have any firm policies or basic moral foundation. The boy’s endgame is to sit in the Oval office, nothing more. Power and greed and for the sake of power and greed.

The people with whom he allies himself as friends, business partners, political and spiritual counselors, do not reflect positively upon him. Stances and attitudes trickle down, his general population of thugs, goons, frat boys with serious mother issues, media with serious oedipal issues, misogynist, vile supporters are yet another poor reflection of their candidate.

DancesWithPumas, I agree w/ you. The powers-that-be wanted an empty suit they could use for a puppet, he wants nothing more than the ultimate ego trip, so they made a good match. Unfortunately it will be the undoing of this country if they succeed.

We are lawyers in the United States of America. As such, we have all taken an oath obligating us to defend the Constitution and the rule of law…. We believe the Bush administration has committed numerous offenses against the Constitution and may have violated federal laws…. Moreover, the administration has blatantly defied congressional subpoenas, obstructing constitutional oversight …. Thus, we call on House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers and Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy to launch hearings into the possibility that crimes have been committed by this administration in violation of the Constitution…. We call for the investigations to go where they must, including into the offices of the President and the Vice President. -- American Lawyers Defending the Constitution

Over one thousand lawyers – including former Governor Mario Cuomo and former Reagan administration official Bruce Fein – have signed onto the above statement demanding wide-ranging investigative hearings into unconstitutional and potentially criminal activity by the Bush administration.

2008 Election As Told By Aaron Sorkin

Nobody ever said it better than did Aaron Sorkin in his script for the movie “The American President”:

“Whatever your particular problem is, friend, I promise you, Bob Rumson (and for Bob Rumson, read “John McCain”) is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things and two things only: Making you afraid of it, and telling you who’s to blame for it.”

My husband loves the writing of Aaron Sorkin. The American President, Sports Night, The West Wing and Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip are all on his list of DVD favorites to watch over and over.

Subject: WHO IS BARACK OBAMA?

There are many things people do not know about BARACK OBAMA. It is every American's duty to read this message and pass it along to all of their friends and loved ones.

Barack Obama wears a FLAG PIN at all times. Even in the shower.

Barack Obama says the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE every time he sees an American flag. He also ends every sentence by saying, "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL." Click here for video of Obama quietly mouthing the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE in his sleep.

A tape exists of Michelle Obama saying the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE at a conference on PATRIOTISM.

Every weekend, Barack and Michelle take their daughters HUNTING.

Barack Obama is a PATRIOTIC AMERICAN. He has one HAND over his HEART at all times. He occasionally switches when one arm gets tired, which is almost never because he is STRONG.

Barack Obama has the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE tattooed on his stomach. It's upside-down, so he can read it while doing sit-ups.

There's only one artist on Barack Obama's iPod: FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.

Barack Obama is a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. His favorite book is the BIBLE, which he has memorized. His name means HE WHO LOVES JESUS in the ancient language of Aramaic. He is PROUD that Jesus was an American.

Barack Obama goes to church every morning. He goes to church every afternoon. He goes to church every evening. He is IN CHURCH RIGHT NOW.

Barack Obama's new airplane includes a conference room, a kitchen, and a MEGACHURCH.

Barack Obama's skin is the color of AMERICAN SOIL.

Barack Obama buys AMERICAN STUFF. He owns a FORD, a BASEBALL TEAM, and a COMPUTER HE BUILT HIMSELF FROM AMERICAN PARTS. He travels mostly by FORKLIFT.

Barack Obama says that Americans cling to GUNS and RELIGION because they are AWESOME.

Michelle Obama Is No Baby Mama

2008-06-15T18:22:00.004-04:00

"My babies Daddy" is a big difference than Fox News calling Michelle Obama, Barack's baby momma. How insulting. I'm sure someone at Fox knows that's street slang for a single mother of some low life who didn't man-up and take responsibility by working a few jobs so that his baby and momma aren't living in some housing project somewhere.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa

2008-06-15T18:02:00.002-04:00

I'm sorry but this women sounds like a big whiner. A real Democrat would never vote for John McCain. The Democratic Party's ideas and goals are still the same. This is all because their woman candidate was challenged by a young, inexperienced-their word, black man that should have waited his turn at the back of the bus. They're jealous that men, women, blacks, whites, Asians, young and old wanted something new and not the same old politics that the Clinton campaign threw out. They spew out misinformation like popular vote and big states and turn everything upside down about Michigan and Florida and don't even have the ability to be gracious in defeat. A true bunch of sorry poor losers who want to pick up their toys and go home. Only they have no home to go to because they're so unreasonable they've left the Democratic Party for the foolishness that is John McCain

Cecile Richards Is A True Feminist

2008-06-10T15:10:00.003-04:00

Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) President Cecile Richards is a leader in national progressive politics with more than 20 years of experience working on behalf of reproductive freedom and social justice.

She writes, "It's our time to put a president in the White House who cares about women's health, take back our country, and move once again with progress and commitment to the future. That's what Hillary Clinton said when she suspended her presidential campaign and that's what my mother Ann Richards would say if she were alive today.

That's why if she were still around she would suit up and campaign for Senator Obama in the farthest corner of the farthest state. Mom would see in him a leader with a long and consistent record for standing up for women's health care, a man raised by a single mother, a father of two daughters, and a husband who supports women's rights 100 percent".

2008-06-09T00:16:00.008-04:00

Hillary bloggers must be afraid of something, most of their blog postings are by names that have no profiles. They're ghosts. They're afraid of Obots, Obamatrons, DNC Committee Members, the MSN, Howard Dean, trolls and Barack Obama. Now he, for some reason, shakes them to the core. They must be very afraid because they give away so much of their time and energy by writing and ranting that they then don't realize how much of their own power they're giving away. It's sad when "don't get mad get even" becomes like a cancer that you can't get rid of until it kills you.

6. Throw money into the mix.
7. Make statements using questioning inflection.
8. Say the names Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO and Al-Qaeda as many times as you can.
9. Don't tell the viewers your Middle East expert is a Pro-Israel Bush appointee who writes for a right wing think tank.
10.Research every citizens background in the city of Chicago for connections to Barack Obama. (that's not in the piece I just added it myself)

Howard Dean, said in an interview, “Many of the most prominent people on TV behaved like middle schoolers” toward Mrs. Clinton.

But wait Howard what about the fair and balanced group on Fox News that the Clinton Campaign was always giving interviews to? Let's start with the morning bunch at Fox and Friends with Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade. They reminded us over and over that Barack Obama's middle name was Hussein and lied when they said as a child he attended an Islamic Madrassa.

In the late afternoon we have Brit Hume and his Special Report with Fred Barnes and Charles Krauthammer. Brit Hume sets himself up as the good guy in the questions about Obama. For example, "Was this a gaffe or just a slip of the tongue"? or "Obama wasn't in the church at the time of the sermon so how bad is this"? What a Republican tool.

Fred Barnes

Charles Krauthammer

We have Bill O'Reilly in the evening, enough said.

Saving the worst for last is Sean Hannity of Hannity and Colmes. When I volunteered for the North Carolina Primary I would come back to my host's house and we would catch up on the late news like what were the latest poll numbers and what did the candidates do and say on the campaign trail. Did Sean Hannity talk about any of that? No every night he started his program off with something about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Every night!!

Howard you should have cried racism and spanked them all including Terry McCauliffe for gushing "you guys are fair and balanced" so that Fox could use him in a commercial. Let's hope he's now a registered Independent.

Did You Forget About This Too John?

2008-06-08T00:33:00.005-04:00

From McCain's foreword to David Halberstam's The Best and the Brightest:
"It was a shameful thing to ask men to suffer and die, to persevere through god-awful afflictions and heartache, to endure the dehumanizing experiences that are unavoidable in combat, for a cause that the country wouldn’t support over time and that our leaders so wrongly believed could be achieved at a smaller cost than our enemy was prepared to make us pay. No other national endeavor requires as much unshakable resolve as war. If the nation and the government lack that resolve, it is criminal to expect men in the field to carry it alone".

Hillary Clinton attained greatness by garnering 18 million votes in the Democratic Primaries and today showed her style, her grace and her fortitude on behalf of all those who supported her to endorse Senator Obama.

No matter how much John McCain panders for Hillary Clinton's supporter votes she will not rest until a Democrat is elected to the White House in November and it is in that framework that I honor her.

"Our answer is the world's hope; it is to rely on youth. The cruelties and the obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield to obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans. It cannot be moved by those who cling to a present which is already dying, who prefer the illusion of security to the excitement and danger which comes with even the most peaceful progress. This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease".
Robert F. Kennedy, "Day of Affirmation", speech, University of Capetown, South Africa June 6, 1966

I now live in Virginia so every time I see a Virginia son or daughter's life taken in this horrible immoral and illegal war it breaks my heart. My heart breaks all the more because I was born and raised in New York and am so familiar with Fort Drum. These young men and the men and women from every state represent all that's is good and honorable about this country and to snuff out their lives with a war that should not have been waged and a vote that should not be cast is criminal. Look at their faces and think of their families and all that could have been then try to cast your vote for John McCain. If you do then you have no heart to break.

I hope I can register two new and energetic voters for every voter who calls or used to call themselves a Democrat. Barack Obama is correct in saying it's time for CHANGE and that CHANGE includes not just politics in Washington, D.C. but CHANGE in the Democratic Party. It's time to dump overboard those that are so entrenched in their own personal causes and politics that they can't except any outcome but the one they want. They are not Democrats and should re-register as Independents. They put rumors and lies about the other candidate and their poor me personality before party and country. They are a stain on the Democratic Party and should leave. If they think they're hurting the party they should not forget you have to prune back the "dead wood" to give the plant new growth.

It's Time To Take On John McCain!!

2008-06-07T08:59:00.005-04:00

Sour grapes make up three quarters of a Hillary Clinton blogger's post. Now that they can't talk up their candidate's virtues for the general election their posts are only a constant stream of anti-Obama vitriol.

Check out a little taste of their message at No Quarter, Stop-Obama, Texas Darlin Blog and Obama Who!

Then they wonder why they get hate mail! What are those sayings, "You reap what you sow" and "Hate breeds Hate"

It's now time to show the country the scary candidate that John McCain is. Obama haters want to bring down the Democratic Party, continue the war in Iraq, and send the United States into economic ruin all because of a war between Clinton and Obama that's happening only in their minds.

Time for a reality shift. John McCain will not win the Presidency in 2008. Not on my watch. I'll go out and register two Obama voters for every Hillary supporter voting McCain.

Full of it all right. Granted this video was put together by Talking Points Memo that lefty leaning blog and it obviously was doctored to provide all the highlights of the speech!! I'll take a bet that George Washington with his wooden teeth was a better orator than John McCain. McCain's handlers should put him on a motorized swivel so when he uses the teleprompter it makes it easier on him. I suppose he thinks that animation and inflection of his text make up for it's lack of substance and the glaring similarity to George Bush's policies.

John McCain Have You No Shame?

John McCain gaffes, flip-flops and now rips off the Obama Campaign slogan. Maybe John should try to make a decision on his own before Barack does.

UPDATE: A comment on my blog rightfully pointed out there was not anything to back up Barack Obama's statements for Change and that Michelle Obama was possibly a closet racist. I apologize for that oversight so I've now included some facts.

He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

Girl was likable, but Black
by BRIAN FEAGANS @ ajc.com

Catherine Donnelly shopped at Kmart, settled into her dorm room and soaked up the Gothic stone buildings where, over the next four years, she would grow into her own woman.

But her first day at Princeton held a surprise, too. And Donnelly knew it would mean confronting the past.

She walked into the historic Nassau Inn that evening and delivered the news to her mother, Alice Brown. "I was horrified," recalled Brown, who had driven her daughter up from New Orleans. Brown stormed down to the campus housing office and demanded Donnelly be moved to another room.

The reason: One of her roommates was black.

"I told them we weren't used to living with black people — Catherine is from the South," Brown said. "They probably thought I was crazy."

The future Michelle Obama, from Chicago's Southside, would playfully tease the third roommate, who was white. Obama's long fingers still narrate stories in Donnelly's mind. "From the minute we met," she says, "I liked her."

Michelle Obama's senior thesis, however, delved into the experience of black alumni at Princeton and provides some insight into her mind-set at the time.

"Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with Whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be Black first and a student second."

Closet racist, who knows? Feeling different and out of place sometimes, you bet. Does that make a woman a racist? I don't think so. I think it makes her a fighter for change and that's just where her education and career took her.

Congratulations Barack And Michelle Obama

It seems that the Catholic Church works fast at removing you from your parish if you make some racist comments, especially ones about a candidate running for the highest office in the country. Even worse was the over the top ghetto accented sermon from a church pulpit. Father Pfleger had them rolling in the aisles with that. With all the 24/7 news coverage pointed directly at Trinity Church the only explanation for Pfleger's exhibition must have been insanity. Now that it's a bit difficult to sweep under the rug I'm sure Father Pfleger will stay low until he's "reassigned" to a parish for some kind of white race relations rehab.

Can Barack Obama afford to eat healthy food? Yes.
Does Barack Obama want everyone to be able to afford healthy food? Yes.
Would a family with children want to eat Arugula? Probably not!
Do families sometimes choose not to eat healthy foods? Yes.

The best way to secure long-term peace and security is to establish a stable, prosperous, and democratic state in Iraq that poses no threat to its neighbors and contributes to the defeat of terrorists. When Iraqi forces can safeguard their own country, American troops can return home.
John McCain 2008

Sounds like George W. Bush 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007.......

"I am glad to hear that Senator Obama is now 'considering a trip to Iraq.'
It's long overdue. It's been 871 days since he was there. And I'm confident that when
he goes, he will then change his position on the conflict in Iraq because he will see the
success that has been achieved on the ground and the consequences of failure
if we set dates for withdrawal, as he wants to do it."
-- John McCain

Believe me, I think that Senator Obama has already seen enough of this war's consequences of failure.

Is This Why We Need To Go To Church?

As a former Catholic and I say former because I've left and am not going back, I find this display by a priest totally offensive.

Monsignor Lisante was giving the invocation at a New York State Republican Party dinner that was also host to Dick Cheney among others.
He obviously isn't taking the word invocation in the spiritual context that it was meant. How much of Father Lasante's personal message is ever preached from the pulpit? The quote below that comes straight from his web page certainly was not on display this night.

"Too often, I suspect, we think that because our point of view is sustainably right, we have the right to belittle and reduce people who don’t get it. And we don’t. Not by Jesus’ example, anyway. He would challenge, but always with respect for the other person. Rightness, He knew, doesn’t entitle us to cruelty." Monsignor Jim Lasante
