FINALLY The True Straight Talk Express

RICHARDSON, Texas — Maybe all the criticism from Rush Limbaugh is sinking in.

Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain almost called himself a liberal on Thursday, getting ahead of himself as he contrasted himself with the Democratic candidates.

“I’m a proud, conservative, liberal Republi- Hello! Easy there,” McCain said, laughing along with his audience at Texas Instruments Inc.

He corrected himself immediately. “Let me say this: I am a proud, conservative Republican, and both of my possible or likely opponents today are liberal Democrats.”

A “liberal” label is sometimes applied to McCain by conservative foes such as Limbaugh who dislike some of his moderate stances and his willingness to work with Democrats. Still, the Arizona senator has made inroads with many critics since becoming the GOP nominee-in-waiting.

McCain was answering a question about whether he would aggressively campaign against Democratic Sens. Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“Yessir, I will, but I also want to say, I think Americans are a little bit tired of all these negative ads,” McCain said. “I want to assure you that I have in this primary, and in my past election campaigns, and in this one, I will conduct a respectful debate.”

Then he made one more slip: “Now, it’ll be dispirited — it’ll be spirited, because there are stark differences,” McCain said.

He concluded: “So there will be strong differences of views and policies in the future of America.”

Silly Season

Here we go. Hillary's campaign accuses Obama of plagiarism. That's just the start.

With the background din of her screeching that Obama gives good speeches and has no substance or experience (like she does!), you will soon see more and more attacks from Clinton Inc. Don't forget - these guys are good.

Don't be surprised to hear more Muslim allegations, discussion of his upbringing, of his beliefs. There will be character assassination of all sorts from drug use to sex. This lady is playing for her life! If she loses, she knows she's not going to get another shot a being Queen.

Recent polls show Texas is now a tie. Oh no. Hillary is depending on Texas and Ohio on March 4. Send in the big guns - "er, no Bill, you stay at home and bake cookies or have an affair or something. We'll call you when we need you."

Listen to the news - it's gonna get pretty silly really soon.

Another 4 Years of Bill?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Harold Ickes, a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign who voted for Democratic Party rules that stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates, now is arguing against the very penalty he helped pass.

In a conference call Saturday, the longtime Democratic Party member contended the DNC should reconsider its tough sanctions on the two states, which held early contests in violation of party rules. He said millions of voters in Michigan and Florida would be otherwise disenfranchised - before acknowledging moments later that he had favored the sanctions.


Hillary is hurting and everybody, including the Clintons, knows it. There only hope is to either use super delegates OR change the rules. Given the fact that there are rumblings amongst the super delegates toward Obama now (and lots of cash going their way as well) and the Clintons are masterful at using the system - they will fight in the courts to make Florida's primary count as a win for Hillary. As a fall back position, they will use the disenfranchised card and go for a new primary to shore up the delegates. Ditto for Michigan.

It will still be interesting in that from the time of the FL and MI primary to now Obama has had a groundswell. She could STILL lose. Stay tuned.

Speaking of wishful thinking, did any of you hear Bill give his "vote for me" speech this week? He was in El Paso on Wednesday and said: "I think about coming here 35 years ago. I was working for the Democratic National Committee and I was going along the border, registering voters and we had the greatest time," Clinton told the crowd. "Well, here I am in Texas again and I am asking the children of those voters to vote for me."

Isn't that rich? Could it be he's spilled the beans?

New Obama Ads

LINK TO THE NEW OBAMA AD

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE

An Obamanation

A funny thing happened on the campaign trail yesterday - Barack Obama actually put a bit (well, a slight bit) of substance into his speech. This could be scary for McCain if this is the beginning of what’s to come.

Now all Obama needs to do is hammer all the similarities between himself and McCain to guarantee his win in November. By showing the similarities people will vote for Obama because he’s eloquent, easier on the eyes and ears, and he’s for “hope”.

On the flip side, McCain needs to hammer home the differences between Obama’s liberal ideas and his conservative ideas (assuming he’s going to buy into them). It’s got to be about ideas. And he’s going to have to show passion about those ideas (“Stuntman!”)

The bottom line: McCain can’t compete in speech style. His speeches are boring compared to the theatrical excitement of Obama’s rhetoric and style. It’s got to be about ideas. Period.

If not, the whole election will just be an “obamanation”.

Bad Mouthing the Liberal Messiah

How do you bad-mouth a prince? That has to be going through the Clinton camp these days.

What could possibly stick when you are showing faults and raising doubts about this new liberal messiah? Nothing.

Hillary is going to find that every negative ad, every negative raised in a speech, will backlash and ultimately have a negative impact on her campaign. Obama is the new Teflon Kid.

Even women love him - a voting segment that Hillary was depending on. Heads of the Women's Movement are even coming out for Obama. Poor Hillary.

Don't fret the lady. She'll still pull it off with the help of Clinton Inc. I wouldn't put it past them to challenge in court, for instance, the Dem decision to not count delegates in FL. If that decision is, in fact, overturned, she gets all the FL delegates (after all Obama played by the rules and ignored the state) and it could make the difference. Then, of course, there are those pesky super delegates.

One way or the other she will get that nomination. What it will do for her chances to get elected in the general election, and to the Democratic Party, will not be positive. GO HILLARY !!

THAR SHE BLOWS!!!

Remember 2000 - the year voters were disenfranchised? The year the majority voted for Gore yet Bush was elected. Remember the outrage?

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

The Democratic Convention is going to be the next Mt. St. Helens eruption.

Neither Obama nor Hillary will have the needed delegates for the nomination. Enter the "Super Delegates" - no, not super heroes but super political hacks. Members deeply entrenched in the Democratic Party. The worst of the worst. These super delegates (796 total) will most likely be called upon to break the tie.

Obama will probably lead in delegates and Hillary will get the nomination. Whoa.... That She Blows!!!


As of 2/10/08...Delegates..........Super Delegates.........TOTAL (2025 needed)
CLINTON.............884........................224....................1108
OBAMA...............937........................127....................1064


Can you imagine the rhetoric? "The racist Democratic Party wrestles the nomination away from Obama." "Not since 2000 have we seen such voter disenfranchisement." "Obama supportes vow to sit out the November election."

Having McCain as the nominee for the elephants is definitely the dark cloud but the upcoming dem eruption could be downright fun! (Hey McCain, you're liberal enough... why don't you put damaged-goods Obama on the ticket as your VP?)

MY pick for Veep is Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. If you don't know him, check out this interview:

Limbaugh interviews Bobby Jindal

Jindal would bring in the conservatives.
Jindal would help deliver the South
Jindal would show the nation that the GOP is progressive too with a black ("person of color") on the ticket

Just my $0.02 - - keep the change

Yes, we can!

I was inspired to take a shot at a Obama speech. You all know what I am talking about when I say he is good at saying nothing.... well, here's my example. (Barack, call me, we'll do lunch)


Brothers and Sisters... it is so good to see you all here tonight. We gather to show the world that Change is Alive...... Hope is Alive..... Do not despair because tonight, I tell you from the very depths of my soul... Yes, we can!

Our message has resounded from the blue states to the red, from the wealthy to the needy, from the educated to those in desperate need for help getting a decent education, from those with adequate healthcare to those who desperately need healthcare.... To you all I say, Yes, we can!

This is a wonderful country but we are all a part of a global community. We are all connected. We all must exist together, talk together, protect our environment together, care for each other.... Yes, we can!

This primary season has been filled with good times. It’s been so wonderful meeting with the mothers and fathers of this nation. The workers - the people who make this country tick. But the clock is ticking my friends, we have more states to go.... we have a nation to fix.... We have people to heal.... Yes, we can!

Poop, Crap, or Excrement

If you didn't know the man, you might actually believe him:

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/02/019744.php

What a dilema we find ourselves in... Obama, Clinton, McCain. Poop, Crap, or Excrement. Yum - what should I pick? They all look so yummy!!!

Rusty Humphries this evening had a contest to see who could give the best Obama speech (I seriously think someone should check his heritage as he may just be the anti Christ). It was hilarious. It speaks so eloquently and says absolutely - and I mean ABSOLUTELY - nothing. And he has become the equivalent to a rock star. People have been quoted to say, "I am following Obama"

And a star burned brightly over the little city of Chicago. The people followed and found the little baby Obama - savior of the donkey and all the land.

"Bummer, dude"

How depressing... it now seems a sure thing that Johnny Mac the Maniac is going to be the GOP candidate. GASP. I am beginning my mantra: It's about the judges. It's about the judges. It's about the judges...

I just HAVE to share this great post I found on politico.com this morning on the attributes of Queen Hillary. Enjoy.

Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified candidate for president based on her 'record,' which she says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or 'co-president' - and her seven years in the Senate. Here is a reminder of what that record includes: - As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Patrick Moynihan, key votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would 'demonize' anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.)

Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first two recommendations, Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. She then chose Janet Reno. Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as 'my worst mistake.'

Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn.

Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department, White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (“Filegate”) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him. FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in 1996, both the drug use and Hillary's involvement in hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office, after serving seven presidents for over thirty years.

In order to open “slots” in the White House for her friends the Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for 'gross mismanagement' and their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than two hours.

Another of Hillary's assumed duties was directing the 'bimbo eruption squad' and scandal defense: ---- She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. ---- She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs. ---- Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all. ---- And Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury ---- And Bill was impeached by the House. ---- And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, 'I do not recall,' 'I have no recollection,' and 'I don't know' 56 times under oath).

Hillary wrote 'It Takes a Village,' demonstrating her Socialist viewpoint. - Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother's clients, for a small fee, to get financial support. - Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.

In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the 'woman card' by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her. - Hillary's husband further protected her by asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White House, including much of Hillary's correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.)

As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation. She has deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.

Hillary's one notable vote; supporting the plan to invade Iraq, she has since disavowed. Quite a resume’. Sounds more like an organized crime family’s rap sheet.

Heeeeeere's Hillary

Even Newt is saying we need to grab our ankles and like it:

Gingrich: 'We need to shrug off McCain... he is likely to be the nominee... McCain is well positioned as reformer against a machine politician like Hillary... Obama most left wing candidate to run since McGovern'...

Even Bob Dole got in the act saying a table from the Senate Library shows that McCain’s voting record — as measured by support for the president — mirrored that of the ultra- conservative former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms and that he is pro-life, pro-guns, an advocate for constructionist judges...

But look what he also stands for: amnesty for illegals, not making the Bush tax cuts permanent, infringing on free speech in political campaigns, and making pacts with other devils such as Kennedy and Feingold.

On the other side we have Robert De Niro endorsing Obama and Jack Nicholson endorsing Hillary. Can't you just see Hillary playing that Nicholson role? "Heeeeeere's Hillary!"

There was some encouraging news today, the Zogby polling shows Romney ahead in California and his lead growing. He is saturating the TV and radio in the Central Valley with some very good ads, BTW. Everybody say your prayers for a truly SUPER Tuesday.

Don't forget to vote often tomorrow.

Selling Your Soul to the Devil

Good ol' Pastor Huckabee's gone and done it this time. I guess we're all sinners, why should the huckster be any different?

Think about what he is doing.... He is staying in the race getting perhaps a 10-15% (at best) of the vote. He says he is in it to win and is optimistic and "looking for a miracle". But let's examine his strategy.

Who exactly is he trying to beat? If he TRULY is in it to win, wouldn't he be trying to show the differences between him and the frontrunner (McCain)? Wouldn't the speeches and the ads all point to why folks should vote for him instead of Johnny Mac? Of course they should.

But are they?

NO. He is running against Romney. An interesting strategy, perhaps. One that would show up Rudy's brilliant strategy.

He has sold his soul to the devil and is working with McCain trying to continue to take votes away from, and discredit, Romney. Pure and simple. He's as slimey as a Clinton.

Mike, there's a special place in Hell for you.
