Dems Clamoring to Tie McCain to Bush (?)

March 5th, 2008 at 12:05 pm » Comments (1)

This morning as the President was waiting to greet John McCain at the White House for a lunch engagement, John Scott of Fox News Channel uttered the comment that Dems would love to tie McCain to Bush’s policies in the months before the election. We may even see the pictures of Bush greeting McCain in [...]



Facing Inevitability

I know that I vowed to not vote for this man BUT, hearing more and more about the alternative, I cannot bring myself to allow B. Hussein Obama to become President without doing whatever I can to prevent it. Therefore, my backing of John McCain is facing the inevitable. Picking the lesser of at this [...]



Republicans Won’t Have to “Swift Boat” Obama, He’s Already Done It Himself

March 3rd, 2008 at 4:39 am » Comments (1)

In the lead up to the General Election, it won’t be anything that Republicans or our presumptive candidate John McCain say that will turn the tide against Barack Hussein Obama, it will be his association with people like Tony Rezko, William Ayers, and Aiham Alsammarae that will derail his Presidential aspirations. Combine these crooked associations [...]



He’s Sacrificing Conservatives for Independents

February 29th, 2008 at 9:00 am » Comments (0)

This week, John McCain did something risky. He denounced Bill Cunningham’s statements about Obama to buddy up to Independent and Moderates. The Moderates will stay if he don’t pander to them and the Independents are likely to split if he doesn’t. However, by pandering to them, the Conservatives that were starting to get on board [...]



He Said - He Said

February 28th, 2008 at 12:15 pm » Comments (0)

Yesterday, Barack Obama promised to pull all the troops out of Iraq and if al Qaeda establishes a base of operations in Iraq after we leave, he’ll bring them back. To which McCain said that al Qaeda is in Iraq hence the name al Qaeda in Iraq. Obama countered with al Qaeda wasn’t in Iraq [...]



Chairman Dean Shows His Stupidity Again - What Else is New?

February 28th, 2008 at 11:47 am » Comments (1)

DNC Chairman, Chairman Dean, speaking at ICC Auditorium on Black History… Black History? Is it me or is there something wrong with a white man discussing Black History? Especially him. Headline, ‘Guilty White Guy Speaks on White Atrocities’. But I digress.
He actually said,
“For eight years we’ve had a president who doesn’t understand the law, and [...]



McCain Surrenders in Cincinnati

GOP Presidential hopeful and likely Nominee, John McCain symbolically surrendered the White House in 2008 to the Democrat Nominee when he apologized for comments made by Wild Bill Cunningham. Micheal Savage, syndicated bad boy of Conservative talk radio said that he showed that he was incapable of leading. When he was asked by a cnn [...]



Ralph Nader - The Gift That Keeps On Giving

February 24th, 2008 at 8:57 pm » Comments (0)

Although I’ve gone on record in the past few weeks favoring a Dem in the next General Election because I believe the next President of the United States will be another Carteresque failure, I’m slowly changing my mind. With the New York Times’ National Enquirer style attack on John McCain last week and today’s news [...]



Ombudsman Agrees, McCain Article Out of Line

February 24th, 2008 at 5:13 am » Comments (1)

The Ombudsman for the New York Times has come out critical of the Times insinuation that Senator John McCain had an inappropriate relationship with a female lobbyist last week.

Cartoonist - Gary Varvel
From the AFP via Breitbart.com:
“The newspaper found itself in the uncomfortable position of being the story as much as publishing the story, in large [...]



Is Helping Resolve Delayed Action Corruption?

February 22nd, 2008 at 5:16 am » Comments (0)

John McCain has been attacked by the New York Times for helping a friend who represented a cable company who had a pending action with the FCC. The Senator sent a letter in an attempt to get the FCC to look into the matter and now he’s accused of corruption.
The issue is the transfer of [...]



NYT Slimes McCain In Twisted Game of Political Truth or Dare

February 21st, 2008 at 9:46 am » Comments (0)

Anyone who has ever read my stuff knows that I am not McCain fan. There are two things that I’d never say about John McCain. The first being that he isn’t brave. The other being that he’s a liar because he’s neither. I do believe that sometimes his political loyalties get misplaced and because of [...]



Barack, Shady Foreign Businessman, Campaign Finances

February 20th, 2008 at 4:54 am » Comments (4)

I stated yesterday that the only way I see myself voting for Juan MexiCain is to prevent Barack Obama from pushing this nation into a depression from which I’m not sure we’d ever recover. Obama’s socialist plans, dirty deals, and shady past are starting to come to light and it may signal the death nail [...]



I’m Reconsidering One Election Possibility

February 19th, 2008 at 9:01 pm » Comments (5)

Many on the right will do ANYTHING to prevent Hillary’s win in November. With the way the Democrat race is panning out, that may not be the worst possibility. Barack Obama becomes less and less attractive as the race plays out.
I was watching videos on the Jonestown massacre this evening and one thing occurred to [...]



‘What Would Reagan Do?’: OR - The Case Against MexiCain

February 19th, 2008 at 12:43 am » Comments (2)

Throughout this primary season a re-occurring question that keeps popping up on the GOP side; “What would Reagan do?” I don’t think that he would have though that somone who opposed the Party leadership as much as Juan MexiCain has during his career would be a remote possibility fo rht nominaton. Woud he hold his [...]



Clinton Eyeing Mini Tuesday; Huckster Trails Badly

February 16th, 2008 at 5:45 pm » Comments (0)

Mini Tuesday? Yes Mini Tuesday. If February 5th was Super “Duper” Tuesday because over 20 primary contests were held on that day, one can make the argument that March 4th will be Mini Tuesday. Just a few contests but for the Democrats a huge significance.
The key states of Ohio and Texas hold their primaries on [...]



Hillary or Obama? MexiCain or Either Dem? The Quandary

February 15th, 2008 at 6:31 pm » Comments (1)

I’ve made it abundantly clear that I would favor a 4 year Democrat failure as President from 2009 - 2013 than Juan MexiCain because Juan boy will hand the Dems an 8 year term in a reverse Reagan Revolution. By then, Hillary will be too old for the attempt, but Obama won’t be.
The question is, [...]



Making MexiCain’s Inevitability Stressful

February 14th, 2008 at 10:13 pm » Comments (1)

With Mitt Romney’s official exit today and his release of his delegates, it is assumed that those delegates will migrate to Juan MexiCain and all but hand him the nomination as a gift. First, there is no guarantee that those delegates will vote the way Romney says. Secondly, even if they do no one will [...]



Gribbit Agrees With the Huckster?!?

February 14th, 2008 at 9:08 pm » Comments (1)

At this point in the primary season, I expected that it would be either Fred Thompson v MexiCain or Giuliani or Mitt Romney v MexiCain or Giuliani. I thought for certain that Mike “the Huckster” Huckabee wouldn’t still be in. But Huckster has been saying something that I do agree with.
For the most part [...]



Romney Hands MexiCain the Nomination

February 14th, 2008 at 4:37 pm » Comments (3)

Former GOP Nominee hopeful, Gov. Mitt Romney, literally handed Juan MexiCain the nomination of the Republican Party when he asked his delegates to vote to nominate Juan MexiCain.
I’ve been saying since Mitt “suspended” his campaign and disillusioned Conservative America that we need to let the libs have the White House in 2008. Because MexiCain isn’t [...]



What Happened to the American Spirit?

February 13th, 2008 at 5:16 am » Comments (3)

I don’t ask this lightly. I honestly want to know what happened to it. Sometime post World War II it seem to take a serious hit but it survived. During Vietnam, it took a beating that nearly killed it. During the Gulf War it was resurrected and pride was again the order of the day. [...]
