Democrats now scrambling to get support for the Auto industry bailout, actually are pulling the "Defense card" and saying if the "BIG 3" fall that our enemies will see us as weak and laugh at us (Jackson-Lee on FOX) and others saying that we would loose the capacity to make tanks?  Really?  Meanwhile you are rolling in ALL of the former Clinton administration that took the military down by 47% by the end of 1997, and prior to the auto industry hearings, Chairman Barney Franks who is neck deep in causing the initial colapse with Fannie/Freddie, called for reducing the military by 25% anyways!

How do you explain a 25% cut in the Defense as not a problem but auto industry not being bailed out a crippling of the Defense Dept?  Fact is, Democrats have been in bed with Labor Unions for over 50 years now.  Domestic steel was on life support back when Bush was comming into office, and the "rust belt" lost a ton of jobs!  The defense of auto industry to fail would cost many other industries to fail as well, yet why was their not a call for the bailout of the housing industry with all the unionized bricklayers, carpenters, etc. Nobody cared that appliance makers would go under, Home Depot/Lowes would suffer, etc.  Maybe if they had done this it would have exposed people like Franks and Dodd who have been concealing the socialization of the housing market until it imploded.

I can't wait to see how they plan on trying to blame Bush for this!  The economy didn't start to crumble until Democrats had their first full year in office after 2006!  I tell ya, this is gonna be something to watch!

Come on folks! Stop letting people tell you how to think! Here is my critical thinking skills.. for your review:

Sarah Palin win or loose was tested for acceptance and was overwelmingly embraced. (McCain had to bring her.. RNC wanted her)

Now with Sen. Stevens winning, should he have to step down, The Gov. of Alaska CAN APPOINT HERSELF to that position, and be in place for 6 very long conservative years! Like Barbara Boxer being recently re-elected in 06 became the attack dog for libs, Palin could be the thorn in the Democrats side for the ENTIRE Obama administration, and STILL have 2 years left to campaign for her own spot in 2016!

She might if GOP shifts in 4 years become SPEAKER, with Romney or Louisianna's Gov. Bobby Jendel, running as a STRONG ticket! ALL new fresh GOP faces! ALL already vetted!

That light at the end of the tunnel.... Democrats know EXACTLY what it is, and they know they really only have about 4 years to change the Supreme Court, and will even bring back the Nucelar Option to kill the 60 vote fillabuster rule that Republicans were too scared to do!  That will be about the only thing that will take generations to fix, but Republicans are already in the search process for "new blood" and its there...  The media will be so busy running damage control, that they will finally be dismissed as the complete partisan quacks they are,  (Chris Matthews illustrated this yesterday..)

Russia today has placed the blame of the international economy crisis in the lap of the US.  (I bet Barney Franks and Chriss Dodd never expected this....)   Russia also says it will electronically jam any missile defense system in Poland, and the efforts to scrap the last remaining nuke forces in Russia are now off the table!

Remember now that post Cold War, Democrats scrapped our military just as they did after WWII dispite the warings of others.  Russia took the lessons they learned from Reagan destroying them, and immediately began to rebuild.  Russia now is the largest exporter of Oil, exceeding the middle east! (hence their feelings right now on dropping oil prices)  Russia obviously smells the blood in the water (aka bailout, and deficit)  and is about to take full advantage.

THIS IS THE EXCUSE THAT OBAMA WILL USE TO RAISE TAXES ON EVERYONE!!!  Russia has been playing this game for YEARS and Democrats have refused to heed any warnings as they blocked energy bills, and regulation of banking and financials as minority and then in 2006 took over and threw out any chances of avoiding this crisis even as late as last year when Barney Franks informed us all was well!  THE SAME MAN THAT WANTS TO REDUCE THE MILITARY BY 25%!!!

Here comes the first in a very long series of "WE TOLD YOU SOs!"

So no suprise that Sen. Biden has once again made some statment that has Democrats racing to the damage control button.  The main issue (according to what the media wants you to think it is) that Obama will be tested.  Somewhere in the first 6 months.  The media steers this to the idea that the Republicans will say McCain would never be tested, and then the back and forth starts.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT TAKE:

Sen. Biden went on in his statement, the media isn't reporting it!

That while we are tested, Obama will respond. OK

THAT MANY WILL NOT LIKE WHAT THE RESPONSE IS,  IT MIGHT BE UNPOPULAR,  BUT IT WILL BE NECESSARY!

Well well  well!!!!  Hey Joe.. are you suggesting that military action, even unilateral action, and extension of troop tours, and going into battle without an exit plan, OR a date certain MIGHT BE REQUIRED?   Are you saying Joe, that the work that Bush has had to do, even after all the obstruction from Democrats the whole way, just might have been a necessary evil?

Are ya sayin Joe, that military operations anymore with the new media, simply can't be hidden from the average citizen like it was in Vietnam any longer, and that IF you were to be in office that because you no longer have a monopoly on the media, that people will see you doing EXACTLY the same thing the Bush administration had to do?

Let the TRUTH be told!

Mark Foley's democrat successor caught in sex scandal? Florida congressman Tim Mahoney allegedly paid more than $100,000 to his ex-mistress and former staff aide who sued after he threatened her job.

Mahoney won his congressional seat in 2006 after Republican Mark Foley, a Republican, was forced to resign in the wake of a scandal involving a congressional page.

Mahoney, who is married, started an affair with Patricia Allen while campaigning against Foley on a morality platform. Allen came on to his staff after he won the election in 2006.

Allen tried to break off the affair after learning Mahoney was supposedly cheating on her and his wife with other women. In response to her wanting to end the relationship...Mahoney threatened her job.

"You work at my pleasure," Mahoney told Allen in a taped Jan. 20, 2008, telephone call in which Mahoney also said "I am the judge and jury in this" and "You don't have any say in this."

It's widely argued that Mahoney won in 2006 less on his own merit than because of the scandal surrounding Foley.

What should happen next to Congressman Mahoney, and will the Democratic press and pundits make as big a deal about this they did the Foley scandal?

ANOTHER POLITICAL HACK SCREENING THEIR OWN COMMENTS AND INDITING GOV. PALIN?  I CUT/PASTE IT HERE SO ALL CAN OPINE.....

Sarah found guilty of abuse of power, just like we thought. Oct 10, 2008 | 10:01 PM

"When you're the governor, you leave your household hat at home and you become governor," said state Senate President Lyda Green, a Republican who has frequently clashed with Palin.

This comment came after Palin was found guilty of being an idiot. So here's the story.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket.

Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.

The inquiry looked into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.
The panel found that Palin let the family grudge influence her decision-making even if it was not the sole reason Monegan was dismissed. "I feel vindicated," Monegan said. "It sounds like they've validated my belief and opinions. And that tells me I'm not totally out in left field."

Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.

Palin and McCain's supporters had hoped the inquiry's finding would be delayed until after the presidential election to spare her any embarrassment and to put aside an enduring distraction as she campaigns as McCain's running mate in an uphill contest against Democrat Barack Obama.

But the panel of lawmakers voted to release the report, although not without dissension.

"I think there are some problems in this report," said Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens, a member of the panel. "I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye."

The nearly 300-page report does not recommend sanctions or a criminal investigation. To see the rest of the story go to www.msnbc.com

She's just a typical politician who got caught- they all do it .

the golden girl is no more.....

:-)

A speach to the radical/racist organization Nation of Islam, Louis Farakahn endorces Obama with terms as the "Messiah" and how he will bring forth change!

Wow!  All we need now is OBL to send his endorcement tape via donkey express from the cave to Al-Jazera!!

6/07/will-media-ignore-obama-khalidi-connection

 

Well look what we have here!  There are people in the news that say they have received threats to them if they bring up the name Khalidi. 

We haven't even got to the latest on Kenyan radical muslim connections to Obama that are to be exclusive to Hannity and Combs Monday from the Author of Obama Nation who was snatched up in Kenya last week but released and found his way back to London with documented evidence of Obama playing with muslim extremist there!

We also have the former Arafat guy here!  So between the two new connections, Ayers, Rev. Wright and Hezbollah propaganda in the church along with Louis Farakahan sympathizers, even the wife working at a law frim with Ayers's terrorist wife 20 years ago!

I tell ya, its about to get downright nasty!

As if the William Ayers cover-up isn't enough to expose Obama for not being honest with the American people, and Rev. Wright's Church with its terrorist supporting propaganda in its weekly bulletins, or speachs from the pulpit that Obama in 20 years NEVER SAW...

The Author of the book Obama Nation was just released from Kenya today and made it to London with documents and proof of Obama's direct involvement in helping radical muslim leaders in that nation in their election process, and once again the radical muslim issue will raise its ugly head come Monday when the Author brings this exclusive to Hannity and Combs show!  Remember that Hannity was the one that brought the reports of Wright and Ayers over a year before mainstream media had no choice but to finally report it.  This latest story will be yet another critical issue for the Obama camp which already is communicating threats to others if they bring up issues of PLO activist ties and leaders, or other stories.

Obama camp has yet to actually deny any of the alligations which each day are cemented in more and more facts and details, and the Obama campaign is about to find out the hard way that cover-up of facts will be hard to shake off.

This will be an inditement of the mainstream media as well! 

So Orange Co. now has some 25 Million bucks to spend on purchasing foreclosed homes, and then cleaning them up, installing energy efficient appliances, and reselling them to qualified low income people.

You must make no more than $71K a year in income.  (yea.. define income) and you get to purchase the homes valued from 100 to 200K.

When county commissioners were asked how they plan on making sure people trying to make a quick buck won't buy them up, their answer according to FOX35 is nobody making more than $71K a year can purchase.

Hey.. I know lots of rich senior folks that TECHNICALLY make less than 71K a year, but have MILLIONS in portfolio and assets! 

So if I get this right... most of these homes are vacant because others unable to pay the mortgage lost them, so now the COUNTY is going to come in purchase them, bring in new appliances,(Yea.. who gets that contract?)  and then turn them around for the price they acquired them plus the work?  INSTEAD of letting the market heel itself? 

How is this any different than the first bunch that owned them?  What happens when this new owner defaluts?  Is the city going to foreclose or just continue to let them ride? 

Thank GOD I'm in Lake Co!!

Right now America is looking at the fruits of their leadership's labor over the last few decades.  America after WWII got lost somewhere along the way, growing some sort of arrogance of being bullet proof, and instead of guarding the benefits of our hard work, instead we procrastinated, and put off till anohter day what should have been a continued vigilant watch on our security in all its aspects. From financial, physical, and soverntry itself.  Because we are a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC things take time.

However there will be those that take advantage of the freedom, and exploit it.  When others warn of their behavior's negative results, they dismissed it.

I can't believe we have leaders saying that CAPITALISM has failed!  Telling American to wake up and see.   NO.. I'm not going to subscribe to such a ridiculous notion, and say, there is a difference between capitalism, and greed.

People pointing to China being a GREAT country, CUBA with better healthcare, etc.  China does not have global warming/enviromental restictions, and the majority live in utter poverty.   India has the same deal.  ALL because some folks think that mankind is killing the planet?  AND REFUSE TO DEBATE IT!

Our financial system works WHEN we MANAGE it!  We blocked, fillabustered, killed, and tossed out EVERY attempt to manage our financial system!  Now we have some telling us that capitalism has died, and we need Socialism to survive it.  WRONG!  We need to WAKE LEADERSHIP UP and send THEM the message that we will hold you accountable for abusing our trust!  

Time to protect our citizens, and time to kick out and punish those who put us in this mess!  Here is the big one... START HOLDING THE PEOPLE THAT ELECT THESE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE!!! 

To the North East of America.. you are officially on NOTICE!!!  You continue to prop up the Franks, Schumers, Dodds, and others  that betray the trust of the entire nation we will be comming after you for answers!

We could end up moving the Mason/Dixon line a litter further North... 

The media is beside itself at the lack of access it has been given to the Republican VP candidate Gov. Palin of Alaska.  Upon her entry into the national political arena, from the Obama camp, to womens groups, to the media itself went on a drunken witchhunt, throwing ANY intellectual honesty or journalism ethics out the window, taking ridiculous stories and degrading propaganda from far left radical sites like DailyKOS, MoveON, etc and actually reporting them as news.  Though it was all debunked, the critics complain that she was not vetted through the media prior to her nomination, and illustrating the mainstream media's arrogant stance as the self proclaimed 4th branch of our governement.

Meanwhile the entire event reaks of hypocracy as the media has forgotten their parade of Obama early in the Primarys and censoring/blocking anything close to vetting of Obama, and throwing Hillary under the bus.

Now the media finds itself in a new light for the first time since mass media was invented.... IGNORED!  Liberal bias has infected the MSM for decades, and now with internet, cable, and talk radio the monopoly has dried up, and they find themselves actually competing for an audience that has awaken from the slumber, and they are not happy.

Gov. Palin and her camp further their example of a new politic by not availing themselves, nor find the media as intimidating as they want one to be.  Instead they point out the hypocracy of the MSM who has no problem with Obama refusing to debate with McCain on more than 10 different times in a town hall forum.  Obama will speak in such a forum when alone, but has not availed himself, nor HIS background, and the message being sent to the media is simple..

Come on back as soon as you are objective, and non-biased, otherwise be relegated to the level of the sources of propaganda you print from.

Apparently Obama does have some executive experience.  He just doen't want anyone to see what org. and WHO it was with.  To the tune of 100 MILLION for improvement of Chicago schools that didn't show ANY return!  Not that Bill Ayers, well known domestic terrorist and two others that founded the Annenberg challenge want to be connected to Obama, and investigations into this foundation have been blocked by folks at U of I.....

This article goes into the background, and the cover up of the Obama connection. 

I smell an October suprise that is going to crush the Democrats, and the latest observation I have seen is not the taking to task the candidate, but taking such information to the people and putting it on them for electing/supporting such events and corruption that is not just political spin, but actual events....  America is being given for the first time in our communication history a chance to see unbiased facts, and backgrounds of people not available prior to cable news, internet, and the "new media"  You have to actually seek to be ignorant of the truth anymore.

Annual Jewish org. get together at the UN usually fills the area to capacity with speakers, and this year the main issue is a protest of Iran's fruitcake President's next dog and pony show in the US.  Hillary Clinton was to attend this function, however has recended that invitation because Gov. Palin will also be there.  Hillary's reason?  It has turned into a political/partisan event?   REALLY?  How so Hillary?  Seems it was fine with just you being there, but now to add any balance to the event, you pull out?  Its not like you are running for office or anything!.......

Now this could be Hillary, trying to derail the Democrats in the campaign to keep Obama out of office.  She has to know how this will look, and if so, she apparently has not fired the folks that kept her informed during her run for office that sort of missed the train on what America and the media were doing.

With the void left behind by Hillary backing out, I think its time to send Joe Biden in to fill the spot, and keep the potential VP balance! 

LOL!  Go ahead Democrats!  I DARE ya to send good ole Joe in there!!  Unless you want to pull the teleprompters out of the spare tire holding them up at the Rodeo that Obama was speaking at and bring them....  

The Jewish community with their money and support for Democrats in the past is taking a very hard look at this...

 

So now we have Bank of American buying Merill Lynch, and others file for chpt.11 bankruptsy.  Last week with Fannie/Freddie, some on the left initially said they needed to investigate.. WELL WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, and a host of other Democrats and their financial buddies that worked in this failing organizations seem to have backed away from calling for any investigations!  We frog marched Martha Stewart, and Enron folks, independent counsel, and testimony all over the place.  So whats the difference now?

If we can pay our leadership to have public investigation and testimony for Baseball juicing, or  drum out "Big Oil"   WHERE IS THE BEEF NOW?
