What an interesting weekend... Let's start with McCain - knowing that the issue has switched to the economy and that is not his strong suit (did you hear the debate question when he pretty much flat out denied ever stating that he wasn't well versed on economics?) he is trying hard to switch the subject. He flat out lied about Romney having a timetable for an Iraq exit "similar to Hillary". He was called on it - even by the MSM who asked him if he would apologize. McLame replied that Romney is the one who needs to apologize to our troops. Yikes ... INSANE McCAIN
And with the passing of McCain-Feingold, Romney could not run an ad within 30 days of the election in FL to refute McCain's lie. What a sly use of his own legislation.
All the major newspapers are endorsing McCain. What does that tell you? And the press is displaying folks saying McCain is the only electable candidate on the GOP ticket. What does that tell you? And the head of the DNC says McCain is the most feared candidate. What does that tell you. Yep, the Dems want McCain to run against their candidate.
When a GOP candidate is similar to the Dem in a presidential election, they NEVER win. The only time the GOP wins is when there is an appreciable difference in views and solutions between their candidate and the Dems. Think about it, about 30% of the country is liberal and 30% conservative. If the GOP runs a RINO and the 30% GOP base stays home or votes for the independent or libertarian, duh... no rocket science here Don't buy into all this McCain golden-boy CRAP.
Will the Kennedy endorsement be the ultimate death blow to the Osama Obama campaign. Do people outside the left and right coasts really want someone that liberal? And Kennedy has been oh so effective endorsing Gore and Kerry.
And here's my last thought for the day. I predict that White Americans will ultimately not vote for a black or a woman for president. When it actually comes time to punch a chad or pull a lever for the President of the United States, the decision will mean so much more than answering a pollster or voting in a primary. Hey, I would vote for a good black or female conservative, but I just have this feeling that meat n potatos middle Americans will have a hard time voting for Obama or Clinton when it comes down to it.
Perhaps it is just wishful thinking. But in the case of any Dem candidate against McCain, there is no wish - just a nightmare for America's future.

The Check Is In The Mail
If you need yet more proof not to vote for McCain, check out this BJ (Bill Jefferson) Clinton quote:
"She and John McCain are very close," Clinton said. "They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other."
What a ploy. "America, lets get the election civil again by voting in McCain and Her Thighness". (of course he and the MSM know Hillary would win - that's why they want the matchup). Is it no surprise that all the big newspapers are endorsing McCain to run against Hill or Barack (they're both trhe same anyway). When the dust clears and it turns out to be McCain against the Dem (please Lord, no!) do you really think the papers will endorse McCain? Of course not.
Now a note about the Economic Stimulus Package. Can you say ELECTION GIFT? This emergency legislation will move at the federal government's typical lightning speed with the checks showing up between the end of May through August. What exactly will it be stimulating during the summer is anybody's guess.
And aren't rebates supposed to be money back for something you put money toward? Do you think I could get a $500 rebate on a big screen TV I never purchased? Only if I bought it at U.S. Government Electronics store. People who have not paid any income taxes will be getting an income tax rebate. That's not a stimulus package, that's welfare.

Say it ain't so...
It's a sad day for American politics and for the 2008 Presidential Race. A candidate has decided to call it quits. Not any candidate - the candidates endorsed by La Raza, the organization fighting for Mexican-Americans rights (like they don't have enough!?).
Today Dennis Kucinich threw in the towel. ::sniff sniff::
Okay, enough of that. It looks like the field is narrowing down to 2 Demo-rats and 2 Republicans (well make that 1 Republican and 1 RINO). Hillary (with the help of her henchman husband) and Obama continue to duke it out in South Carolina (Bill's territory as Hillary got on the plane leaving him behind) and Florida. This is going to be really interesting. If these 2 polarize the Dem party, Edwards can be the deal maker in a brokered convention. He needs to bring about 15% delegate count to the table. Not looking so good right now but there's still time if he can come out looking like the white knight amidst the 2 contestants in the WWF.
The Huckster is pretty much toast as his money is drying up in a hurry. Rudy is on the ropes and will probably be in the toast (not quite toast, yet) after a terrible show in Florida.
The McCaniac is getting a bit better at generating money but can't compete against a guy who has a never-ending barrel of cash from his personal piggy bank. The only thing stopping Mitt is his wife and kids screaming that he's spending their inheritance!
We'll have to keep an eye on Super Tuesday. McCain can turn out to be a Huckabee-like flash in the pan (even though he is the MSM darling) or a viable foe for Romney.

Have you heard the one about the insane Hunter?
Obama may sound smart but I really have my doubts. Today I heard one of his stump speeches. Besides sounding like a Black Baptist preacher his ideas are really scarey. With my own ears I heard proof that he is indeed more liberal than Hillary.
He talked about voting against the bill which would make declaring bankruptcy more difficult and put down Edwards and Clinton for voting for it. He wants to tax everybody (well, everybody but the po' fok). Taxing the oil companies for this and the pharmaceutical companies for that and the insurance companies for the other. Yikes.
Then he talked a bit about Bush's "crazy" idea of privatizing social security. He asked the crowd how they would like to have their retirement dollars invested in today's stock market. Of course the ignorant crowd screamed, "NO." How wrong they are... Excuse me Obama, do you have your retirement dollars invested in the stock market? Hell yeah.
To point at this extremely volatile market as an illustration of how bad privatization is is downright criminal for many reasons. First, your investment would be in index funds reflecting the general market and would be moved to more conservative investments as you moved closer to retirement age. By the time you were ready to retire, all your funds should be in cash equivalents with, perhaps, a small percentage of bonds and equities. Secondly, when you die, the remaining money goes to your beneficiaries. That is the REAL reason liberals will never allow privatization. Middle class and wealthy people pay a hell of a lot more into the system than they get out - and when they die, their spouse gets some spare change and the government keeps the pot of money.
Speaking of sound economic sense, Rush Limbaugh has gotten into the swing of things. He has recently published 2 options for an economic stimulus package:
"The Limbaugh stimulus package will pay all mortgages, credit card bills, car loans, and teenaged kids' overages on minutes used for text messaging. This is easy. I could get elected tomorrow!"
The Limbaugh stimulus package: Wipe out all overdue mortgage and credit card debt. Pass a law that the DOW can't fall below 11,000. Since work stress kills, nobody will have to work -- but they'll keep their current income with yearly raises for inflation, with full health care and Social Security.
The scary thing is, I think Rush stole these from Obama...
And what's this about Duncan Hunter? Has the man gone insane?
Hunter came out today with an endorsement of the Huckabilly. He mentioned integrity and immigration control (on which he changed his stance only recently). Duncan, what about the guys liberal big government tax and spend positions and his wish to build a theocracy? The campaign trail has done irreparable harm to poor Duncan.
It's up to Mitt to save the country.

Taking Bill out to the Woodshed
I'm starting to like Romney more each day - Heck, I have to with Fred wimping out on me (the glue on my bumper sticker isn't even dry yet.... sob sob) I listened to an interesting Heritage Foundation roundtable discussion this evening. One item discussed was the (drum roll please...) Economic Stimulus Package. Hillary came out with about a $70B package, Obama came back with something like a $75B package, Bush came out with a $140B package, Hillary then bumped her package to be essentially the same as Obama, and then Romney came out with a package on the order of $280B.
The big difference, and excellent way of thinking on the part of Romney, is that he was thinking outside the box. While all the others were creating designer bandaids (manufactured by the less than efficient Federal Government bandaid plant) Mitt was creating a solution. All the others were short term temporary fixes. Mitt's plan was permanent tax cuts over several years. This guy knows how to think.
I heard a discussion that Romney was, perhaps, too handsome to get elected. Never heard that one before. Letterman last night said he looked like the closer at the Cadillac dealership. I actually laughed out loud at that one.
My last pearl is the involvement of Bill in the Hill fight. It really is 2 against 1. I've got the perfect remedy. Michelle Obama should challenge William Jefferson Clinton to a debate (you thought I was gonna say duel, didn't ya?).
Barack's wife could definitely hold her own. She could effortlessly spit back the same crap that he lobs at her. He cries, she cries. She gets angry, he gets angry. He bites his lower lip, he bites her lower lip - - but I digress.
If Bill wins - big effing deal... he beat a girl. But if Michelle wins - whoooeee... is he gonna get a whoppin' from Hillary.

Thar She Blows
Remember that scene from Men In Black where the alien explodes and Will Smith is totally covered in slime? I sort of expected that at the CNN South Carolina debates today. Obama and Hillary showed how they really feel and came close to meltdown. Perhaps if the cameras were not rolling they would have gotten into it right there on the floor (how's that for theater of the mind?). It would have been a tag team event with Bill and Hillary as a team against Obama with Edwards ready to represent the loser in the courtroom for some BIG bucks.
The nerve... Talk about the pot calling the kettle black (no pun intended - -really!)... Hillary calling Obama a liar - saying he is misrepresenting his votes and experience. Give me a break.
Sort of funny that she throws the upper cut with the accusation of Obama representing a Chicago slumlord and his puny comeback punch was "Oh yeah? Well you're a Corporate lawyer for anti-union Wal*Mart."
Then Reagan got dragged through the mud with B. Hussein defending his Reagan comment only to have Hillary innocently say "It wasn't me." Sure, it was Big Bill the Henchman - the newly-assigned pitbull and mouthpiece for Hillary.
Speaking of Bill, have you seen the video of him falling asleep during the MLK ceremonies? I'm sure you'll be hearing he's been fighting the flu or something like that as a cover to the true story. But the funniest part is when his head, propped by his hand, does the ol' head nod down toward his lap and he catches himself and snaps his head back and then forward and back again to make it look like he is acknowledging the speaker's comment. Only thing is, I didn't hear anything to acknowledge. But I digress...
The poor little rich lawyer was so out of the picture at the debate. He had to fight for some airtime.
"Why would you over 100 times vote present?" Edwards pointedly challenged Obama (in reference to his Illinois voting record). Obama's response was "Don't question, John, that on issue after issue that is important to the American people, I haven't followed. I have led." I wish I knew where voting "Present" led us to...
I heard a bit of a Hillary speech in Florida on XM Radio's POTUS '08 channel. I cringe. The currency printing presses will be burning up if she gets in the White House. We all know about Universal Health Care but she also wants Universal Preschool (to give out flavored condoms to 5 year olds?) and to give everyone about $800 to pay for their high energy costs. She also wants to freeze the interest rate on mortgages for 5 years (you can tell she never had a real job!). The list went on and on - I had to change the channel and go back to Classic Rock for a cool down period. I must admit, it is extremely dangerous to listen to a liberal while driving.
Today Rush Limbaugh actually admitted that there is a possibility that he wouldn't vote for the Republican candidate on the ticket for the first time ever for him. I know what he means. I think my Fred bumper sticker is only relevant for another 2 weeks at the most. Maybe I need to get some anti-John McManiac or anti-Huckabilly stickers made.
Mitt is my second choice and he is still looking good. REAL Republicans just should not be voting for those "moderate" slimeballs. Rudy? Well, I think he's toast. He may make it on the veep side of a ticket, though. It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.

Where are the Republicans?
Another caucus and another primary behind us and I'm still wondering, "Where Are the Republicans?". True elephants that believe in the GOP platform - not RINOs that think that McCain and Huckabee are our only hope.
Headlines recently pronounced that moderates propelled McCain to #1 in South Carolina. Why are these moderates voting in a GOP primary? Would they truly prefer Obama or Clinton in a general election but since they are registered Republican they vote for McCain and Huckabee (#1 and #2 in SC). After all, why vote for the watered down liberal when you could have the real thing! At least Fred had a respectable third place finish. I really hope he doesn't drop out just yet (especially since I just put on my bumper sticker!).
Another interesting thought is all the fuss with Romney and Mormonism. I think people fear that he might get in office and try to set up a theocracy. YET... evangelicals are voting for Huckabee in the hopes that he DOES set up a theocracy. Kinda weird, huh?
Bill recently said that people have stopped dancing on Hillary's grave. As long as she is truly in the grave I, personally, would have no need to dance.
