Biden Maligns Dead Man for Political Points

September 20th, 2008 at 1:58 pm » Comments (4)

Big Mouth Joe Biden is certainly not the first politician to use personal tragedy to gain politically. Big Mouth Joe has been pulling on his constituents’ heart strings as he publicly discusses the death of his wife and daughter in 1972 by one of those evil drunk drivers.
As Rachel Kipp reports for Delaware Online:
The [...]

Obama’s Plea: ‘Don’t Vote Because She’s Cute’

September 19th, 2008 at 11:18 am » Comments (0)

This was the feeble attempt by Michelle Obama to convince voters that they shouldn’t vote for McCain/Palin but rather Obama/Biden. Her theory? That the Obama ticket actually owns the issues and the McCain ticket only has a pretty face. Or at least that was the intent of the veiled warning.
In fairness, Obama covered her words [...]



Democrat ‘Leadership’ or the Lack Thereof…

September 19th, 2008 at 2:49 am » Comments (1)

… and the affects on the economy due to their incompetence

Cartoonist - Bob Gorrell
Congress in their infinite wisdom banned offshore drilling 27 years ago. That legislation is due to expire this year providing that the Do-Nothing 110th Congress doesn’t do anything to reinstitute that failed policy.
The US House of Representatives has passed what they are [...]



Obama Bars Media from Celeb Event

September 17th, 2008 at 3:44 pm » Comments (1)

Drudge Headline reads… “Television crews barred…” meaning barred from a star studded fundraiser held for the Obamassiah at a cost of $28,500 per plate. Mind you, the maximum campaign contribution allowable is $2,300. But the bigger question of the day is, why did Obama ban the news media? The answer may or may not surprise [...]



Major Clinton Contributor/DNC Member to Endorse McCain/Palin

September 17th, 2008 at 1:14 pm » Comments (2)

CNN is reporting that prominent Clinton bundler and DNC platform committee member Lynn Forester de Rothschild will soon be joining team McCain. I hope the libtards* can believe this one since it is originating from the Clinton News Network. Although since Barry’s win over Hillary it has seemed that CNN was looking to ‘change’ their [...]



Boehner: Dem Energy Bill “Won’t Do A Damn Thing About American Energy”

September 16th, 2008 at 7:07 pm » Comments (0)

Via Email
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today made remarks on the floor of the House on Democrats’ sham energy legislation scheduled for consideration this afternoon.
“I appreciate the announcement from the chair that additional members will be allowed to give one-minutes. After in fact that it was announced earlier that there [...]



An Answer to Why Denny Kucinich is Such a Moron

September 14th, 2008 at 7:28 pm » Comments (0)

For decades Dennis Kucinich’s logic-free thinking has mystified the masses. But today we know why Denny is devoid of rational thought.
From The Times of India:
Scientists have discovered that going veggie could be bad for your brain-with those on a meat-free diet six times more likely to suffer brain shrinkage.
In case you didn’t know it [...]



Obama’s Taste Free Ad

September 12th, 2008 at 9:46 pm » Comments (1)

Post September 11th truce and Obama has come out with an ad slamming McCain for his inability to use the internet and send email. Perhaps the Obama campaign should have done some research into why McCain doesn’t use email. Perhaps he lost his ability to use the internet before it was developed. Perhaps he lost [...]



Pam Anderson on Sarah Palin

September 12th, 2008 at 4:26 pm » Comments (2)

Pam Anderson inadvertently gave Alaska Governor Sarah Palin a rousing endorsement. The silicone princess said of Palin, “I can’t stand her.” and “She can suck it.” Wow Pam… what a retort.
But what can we expect of the rabid supporter of PETA?
I have some advice for Anderson…
Pam, dear, I know this stuff is a little [...]



Dem-Cong In Trouble

September 12th, 2008 at 12:44 pm » Comments (0)

All year we’ve been hearing that this is a Democrat year. Why? Because the news media which is in the bag for the Dems say so? That’s the perception that I’m living under.
Each election cycle, we hear the same ‘ol BS that the Dems are going to take control. The people are fed up with [...]



Obama’s Pig Comment - This is What He Meant

September 12th, 2008 at 12:01 am » Comments (0)

Is this what Barack was talking about when he said, “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig…”?

Cartoonist - Michael Ramirez
No wonder he got upset. He called himself a pig. An assessment that I agree with. But, with his Muslim background (whether he admits it or not, he HAS a Muslim [...]



September 11 - 7 Years Not Forgotten

September 11th, 2008 at 2:06 am » Comments (1)

On September 11, 2001 life in the United States changed forever. On that day 19 cowardly sons of Allah hijacked 4 US airliners. American flight 11 and United Airlines flight 175 were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York city. American Airlines flight 77 struck the Pentagon. The 4th [...]



Obama’s Outrage Shows His Unpreparedness

September 10th, 2008 at 1:43 pm » Comments (3)

It seems that the man with the middle name Hussein is a bit miffed at the usually accommodating press for accentuating his comment from yesterday - “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig” - which any reasonable person would assume is a jab at GOP VP Nominee Sarah Palin. He [...]

Boehner Welcomes Back Do-Nothing Dems

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R OH-8) welcomed House Democrats back from their vacation today…
via email:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As House Democrats continue to take a nationwide public pounding for blocking a vote on “all of the above” energy reforms the American people want, Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) delivered remarks on the House floor welcoming [...]



Early Morning Thoughts of an Insomniac

September 9th, 2008 at 1:37 am » Comments (2)

While preparing to write this post I had a couple of different subjects that I was attempting to decide upon. Then I said to myself, “self - why not write a combo post.” After-all, it isn’t like I have to write complete thoughts on the subjects that I was thinking of because others have done [...]



Obama: ‘You Can’t Just Reinvent Yourself’

September 8th, 2008 at 4:34 pm » Comments (1)

Barack Hussein Obama has opened up a can of worms that I think might have been in his best interest to have left unopened.
He said,
Well, how about Gov. Palin? She’s you know, an up and comer from Alaska. She - they’re starting to run an ad now saying she opposed the bridge to nowhere. Well [...]



Demoted - MSNoBodyCares Removes Olbermann & Matthews From Anchor Chair

September 7th, 2008 at 10:51 pm » Comments (1)

I sense the heavy influence of Tom Brokaw in the NBC News decision to nix caustic anchors Keith Olbermann and Chris “I have a tingly feeling” Matthews. Especially since Bill O’Reilly called him out on ‘The Factor’ the other night. Tensions between flagship NBC News and their cable affiliate MSNoBodyCares have been elevated lately especially [...]



Freud Would Have A Field Day!

September 7th, 2008 at 9:51 pm » Comments (1)

Barack Hussein Obama has been caught in a Freudian moment.
“Let’s not play games,” he said. “What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come.” SOURCE
