Are the stones of the Obama campaign crumbling already?

Posted by Rick on Sunday, October 12, 2008 5:47:18 PM
 
If you follow the link above, you will find a column that tries to explain to us that Sarah Palin is NOT the conservative we have made her to be.  Well, media folk, neither was GWB, but he BEAT your candidates TWICE.  Sarah Palin is CLOSE enough to a conservative to keep most of us happy.  The only unhappy people are the "independents" who are never happy, but McCain, for SOME reason or another, likes to think that these are "his people."
 
Sen. McCain, you can't please people who CAN'T make up their own minds!  *laughter*

It All Depends On What Your Definition of "Here" is.

Posted by Rick on Friday, September 19, 2008 6:00:28 AM
Like everyone else who associates him or herself with Townhall.com, a couple of months ago saw me getting an e-mail petition to sign that said, basically,
 
"Drill Here.  Drill Now."
 
The result of this petition would be shown to the leaders in Washington, allegedly, to give them an idea as to what "We the people" want to see them doing to address the increase in fuel prices.
 
What do we get from Comrade Pelosi?  We get a bill that "allows" drilling only in places where oil companies know that there is NO oil - outside a 50-mile limit from the shore.  Okay.  If THAT the way she wants to play it, fine.  Forgive me for being ignorant of drilling technologies, but isn't there a technology that we're going to use in ANWR that allows us to drill there utilizing an area relative to that of a postage stamp on a football field.  Why can't we utilize this SAME technology in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Mexifornia?  Sure.  It's going to COST more to utilize this technology, and we can VOTE all the dems out of office in November for throwing us THIS bill as a "compromise." 
 
Let's just be glad that they didn't try to redefine what "NOW" means.

Why Can't The Dems Call Her Plain Palin?

Posted by Rick on Thursday, September 18, 2008 6:15:35 PM
Sure!  It doesn't rhyme.
 
My tiny brain CANNOT wait until the VP debates that first week in September!  Did Obama follow the usual wimpy democratic tactic of sending out his underling, Biden, to take the first shots that Gov Palin is going to be sending his way?  The VP debate is scheduled for October 2nd, and my ears haven't heard about a debate between the BIG guns prior to this.  Some popcorn would be GREAT to eat as the rockets fly.  Another question that needs to be answered is what will Biden be wearing for "protection?"  *laughter*  Will be be wearing a condom?  *grin*  If he's smart, he going to be wearing MORE than that condom!  He going to want to be wearing a cup, helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, shoulder pads just to keep him as safe as possible after Sarah-cuda opens up on him.
 
This pick of Gov Sarah Palin is great on SO many levels.  Another one that most seem to be overlooking is the one where the libs are claiming that she doesn't have the "experience" to perform as a VP.  The debate ought to settle these concerns after she has ripped him a new bung hole a couple of times.  Biden won't know what hit him.  She is going to unload on him, and my suspicion is that he will be looking for the campaign's exit door after she is through with him.
 
For most of my life, liberals always have set themselves above the rest of us, and this is due to whatever they think it is that sets them above the rest of us.  Watching Sarah crush this little man in this debate will leave the liberals wondering what hit them too!  They will be telling themselves,
 
"I thought Joe Biden was supposed to be smart since he is a Senator from Delaware.  What happened?  Sarah is only an Alaskan governor.  This doesn't make ANY sense."
 
Watching him trying to BREATH as Gov. Palin comes after him with BOTH her debate guns a blazing will be a treat!

Watch Nancy Try To Dismiss Her Party's Responsibility In The Banking Fiasco.

Posted by Rick on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:45:56 PM
How stupid does this woman think we Americans are?
 
Perhaps, she feels that there are ENOUGH citizens in the country who DIDN'T get the "education" the liberals, who controlled the Congress for most of the last 60 years, have promised us.  Were we to get the education these poltroons promised, we would ALL know that the party in power in Congress is responsible for the economy - not the president nor the party that lost control of the House two years prior. 
 
For the last ten-to-15 years, the media have been telling us how "smart" Bill Clinton was during the '90s.  Why have they done this?  The LAST thing the media want is the people realizing that it was the REPUBLICANS in Congress who gave us the '90s.  The Congress got out of Americans' way and let them earn their money.  If you look at videos from way back then, you can see Billy's stupid smile, and this ought to be enough to convince you that he deserves NONE of the credit for the economy skyrocketing in the '90s.
 
What will happen if BO gets elected is that the media will tell us how WONDERFUL he is IF he reduces the amount he originally planned to raise everyone's taxes.  He will become the NEXT messiah, as far as the media will be concerned.  They won't bother with explaining how MORE wonderful things would be were he NOT to tax ANYONE!  *laughter*
 
Does ANYONE believe Pelosi will take the BLAME for the floor falling out on Wall and Broad over the last few weeks?

Obama's plan to nickle and dime the electoral college.

Posted by Rick on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 8:04:48 PM
The electoral college, in all its splendor, is meant to award its votes to the winner of EACH state on a state-by-state basis.
 
As the founding fathers intended, this keeps things fairer than they would be were the election to be a popularity contest purely.  It looks like BO wants to distribute one state's electoral votes based on election results so that NO candidate can get ALL the state's votes since it is not likely that ONE candidate is going to get ALL the votes of the state's residents.  This is CR*P!  BO needs to be thrown OUT now!  He is looking to split hairs!

It's just not FAIR!

Posted by Rick on Wednesday, September 03, 2008 12:54:48 PM
(Imagine me being a liberal.  This is how my tiny brain resolves all the current issues that we Dems are facing at the moment.)
 
When Katrina hit, it was a BIGGER, more powerful storm.  Regardless of what all the meteorologists on TV told us in the days/hours prior to its landing, Gustav was a walk in-the-park for all the republican governors who are running ALL the Gulf States now.  It's not fair.
 
Sure, we COULD have nominated Sen. Clinton as Sen. Obama's VP, but after the ruccus we kicked up during the '04 election over gravitas, we felt that we needed an insider to help Sen. Obama secure the election.  Sure, Sen. Clinton won MANY of the latter primaries, but people outside the party influenced those primaries regardless of how hard we tried to keep the OUT of the process.  Sen. Clinton had too much baggage from her eight years as First Lady and her eight years as the junior senator from NY.  It's not fair.
 
Gov. Palin's daughter is a tramp!  It was SHE (the daughter) who gave birth to the little boy with Down's syndrome, and Gov. Palin is just trying to paint a better, more acceptable picture of her family so that it became more palitable for the voting public.  She wants to influence us, like the "communists" in the Soviet Union did.

Her name is Sarah-cuda! *laughter*

Posted by Rick on Wednesday, September 03, 2008 12:39:41 PM
People from Alaska have been warning us via radio talk shows that Sen. Biden (D-DE) better be wearing a THICK cup and maybe a facemask when it comes time for the VP debates in a matter of weeks/months.  They have explained that Palin fights mean, and since she's a woman, the foot to-the-groin move that most liberal men like to use when they're cornered won't work on her.  My suspicion is that Youtube will be aflame with people posting videos of her wiping the floor with Sen. Biden.
 
It still cracks me up when BO picked this guy to be his VP.  Funny how everyone in the media explained that Lieberman was the VP choice whom McCain should have picked based on their conclusions.  The driveby media explained, "They are friends.  They have worked together in the Senate for years."  If Lieberman were such the PERFECT choice, why didn't BO select him as HIS VP?
 
At least we won't have any of them claiming that they "knew" JFK.  *laughter*

Forgive me, John McCain!

Posted by Rick on Sunday, August 31, 2008 7:35:12 AM
Forgive me for buying into what the media were selling me for these last three years!
 
Forgive me for thinking you DIDN'T have it in you.
 
Forgive me for voting for Rudy Giuliani in the primaries.  *laughter*
 
Forgive me for NOT realizing that you were DUPING the media into thinking you were some middle of-the-road independent.
 
Forgive me, John McCain, for not believing that you had it in you!

Does Anyone Else Hear That Loud Hissing Sound?

Posted by Rick on Friday, August 29, 2008 12:34:48 PM
That's the sound of the air coming OUT of the BO '08 candidacy balloon!  *laughter*
 
The media are going to spin this ANY way they can to make BO look better, but it's not going to help.  The shine has started to come off already!

It all depends on what your definition of "Change" is! *laughter*

Posted by Rick on Thursday, August 28, 2008 12:29:03 PM
The announcement of Sen. Biden as BO's VP running mate last week had me scratching my head after my ears heard the announcement on TV.  For MONTHS, BO's been telling us that HE is "Change we can believe in."  Ummm, people, there are FEW fellow lawmakers in DC who have the experience Biden "brings" to the ticket.  How can hiring someone who has dirtied his OWN hands in politics for more than 30 years involve "change?"
 
Sounds like MORE of the SAME old CR*P to me!  This is more evidence that BO thinks we're stupid tools who are meant to buy and believe all the pap he's selling.  Will the media question this selection?  Heaven's no!  As far as they're concerned, they're happy that they now won't have to dodge questions about BO's gravitas since he's selected such an "experienced" running mate.
 
All Biden will provide is being the fall-guy for the BO campaign in November once election results start rolling in.  The media will explain that BO's popularity was NEVER higher than it was BEFORE he selected Sen. Biden as his VP.  Biden will get trashed when this happens, and he will be to blaim for BO's loss.
 
What was BO thinking when it came time to select a running mate?  The smartest presidential candidates make an attempt to select a running mate who differs from him/her so that the pair can get MORE support from other people who see reason to support the pair due to the VP's personality.  These two came from the SAME casting.  The only difference between the two is that BO's political career started LATER than Biden's did.

Oh, where to begin today?

Posted by Rick on Monday, August 18, 2008 2:22:44 PM
Obama told us at the "debate" in California last night that his favorite Bible passage is where the Bible explains to us that what we do to the least among us we do to Christ (God).  Then he goes on to explain that he has NO problem with aborting UNWANTED children at ANY time prior to their birth.  If these "unwanted" children are NOT the least among us, then there can be scant few only who score lower than they do!  Talk about shooting one's self in the foot!   
 
My suspicion is that MORE U.S. citizens heard and understood this answer than the media would like to explain to us on the 1830 news or on the 24/7 news channels.  From my perspective, at the moment, BHO has sealed his fate; he is toast!  Whoever "prepared" him for this event needs to be fired and removed from the campaign.  This answer is so funny now that my tiny brain has considered it.  It smacks of Clintonese because it says,
 
"Look at how DEEP I am.  My 'concern' is for the LEAST among us because I said so!  Oh!  Want to abort your baby?  No problem.  It will be YOU who will have to answer for this 'killing' of YOUR unwanted child."
 
So, he's toast!  He shot himself in the foot with a howitzer!  *laughter*
 
It just dawned on me that he has done this to "give" Hillary an open door so that she can walk into the convention next week with her head held high with the expectation that she will WIN the nomination.
 
Makes me wonder if Hillary planted the person who worked as BO's advisor for this debate in Saddleback so that he would make this mistake and lose support among liberals who used to support Hillary but turned their back on her when they saw "the light" shining from BHO.  This advisor was a plant to do him in!

Algore is looking for the NEXT Kennedy moment!

Posted by Rick on Saturday, July 19, 2008 9:05:49 AM
This week saw Algore telling the world that America needs to QUIT using oil!  Apparently, in his tiny mind, wind power is the way to go.  You first, Al.  Where are the windmills on your property in Tennessee?  Fire 'em up, Al!  How long could it take YOU to have these devices installed on YOUR property?  Since you OWN the property, there should be FEWER hoops through which you'll have to jump to get the deal done.  THINK of the resale value too!  *laughter*  In '61, JFK told us to shoot for the moon.  In '08, Algore is telling us to shoot for the wind.  You first, smart guy!  Just think of it.  AFTER you have these windmills installed on YOUR property, then you can SELL the "excess" power to the power companies and turn a PROFIT!  *laughter*

What the people at "The New Yorker" are trying to say with that magazine cover.

Posted by Rick on Thursday, July 17, 2008 11:49:32 AM
"Obama is going to lose due to America's racism."  This is what that cover is trying to tell to us in code that the brainiest liberals among us only can understand.  Were Obama to lose in November, then the authors can stand on their desks and scream,
 
"See!  We told you that America is filled with racists!"
 
That is what this cover image is trying to tell us.  The dims tried the Vietnam tactic with John F-ing Kerry with the LAST election and they had their butts handed to them.  They slapped a new coat of paint on the same sort of character and pushed him out front of the "expected" candidate who most of us thought would earn the nomination.
 
What will they do when the Obamagician fails to appear as the winner in November?  He's doomed.  It's the "Silent Majority" all over again.

Been here; done that. Vietnam - part duex.

Posted by Rick on Thursday, July 10, 2008 12:52:48 PM
Barack stepped into it yesterday when he explained that Iran, "isn't going to be able to put up too much of a fight," should we choose to take it to Ahmed-the-nutjob and try to Saddam him.
 
Isn't this what the "smart" people associated with the Kennedy and Johnson administrations explained to us back in the early '60s prior to the escalation of tensions in Vietnam to war?  Granted, the Kennedy administration is LESS-involved in getting the war started, but the subsequent Johnson administration had SO many Kennedy clingers (barnacles) that, in effect, it was the SAME administration.
 
These people back then liked to think that they were "smarter" than everyone else, and doesn't THIS describe Obama to a "T"?  He likes to think that he is smarter than we "bitter clingers" are.
 
Let's say, as my wife declared last night over the dinner table, that he wins the election in November, Ahmed-the-nutjob sees the results of the election as a green light to let missles targeted at Tel Aviv fly on their way, thousands of Israelis and Iranians die as a result of the exchange, and we get swept up into the mess that such a conflict with Iran would generate. 
 
Wanna guess on whom EVERY dimocrat will want to blame the mess?  It will be GWB's fault because he left Pres. Obama thinking that he could "handle" such conflicts due to the one in Iraq working SO well.

Guess what, folks! Tim Russert is STILL dead!

Posted by Rick on Thursday, June 26, 2008 2:34:37 PM
Forgive me if this title offends you, but the media BLITZ since Friday afternoon has been NON-stop!  EVERY cable-TV news program is telling me that he died Friday!  Yes, he died and he's still dead!  It's as if SOME of these reporters WANT to be there once he comes BACK to life!
 
Was he a Hillary supporter?  *laughter*
 
On another issue about which the media CAN'T keep their mouth shut this weekend is the "500-year" flooding that is happening in Iowa.  How long will it take for Algore to determine that AGW is to blame for this, and then he will be pushing for these people to SUE the poluters to recover losses.  We ALL know who the poluters are, right?  On whom will Algore blame this flooding?  How will he blame it on AGW?  It's called WEATHER, Al!  It happens and it changes ALL the time!
