We have an obligation to our kids, to our parents and to the founding fathers who created this nation. We must have this fight because too many in the GOP have decided that being politically correct and “Compromising” with far left Democrats is the only way Republicans will gain power.
John McCain, Lyndsey Graham, Marco Rubio, and several others are being hailed as groundbreakers for their backstabbing of We the People. The media and the democrat party are all a flutter with the potential that Republicans will follow these traitors. I submit that will not be the case.
Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and several others are standing firm and WE the PEOPLE must stand with them. The surest way to get the GOP’s attention is to show them a true RED LINE. The red line for me is AMNESTY.
All these RINO’s who are FOR Amnesty think that they can get on TV and say things against ObamaCare and we’ll forget the Amnesty. Its not going to happen.
The GOP needs to realize that if Amnesty passes and is signed by Obama, the house/senate will be FULL DEMOCRAT MAJORITY in 2014, and Hillary or Biden will be POTUS in 2016. We the People will stay home again and the few pick ups they get will not be enough to sway the vote.
There is a way that the GOP can win the day and save America. This is the road map. DEFUND Obamacare and KILL the Amnesty bill. They do that and in 2014 conservatives will turn out in droves. McCain/Graham/Rubio are on their own. I will support any primary challengers to those three.
GOP has a decision to make. It’s a matter of life and death. I hope they choose wisely.
So “There will be no death panels, Sarah Palin is being political” Remember that quote? Remember the media outrage over the tea party’s assertion that obamacare would result in people sitting in judgement over peoples lives.
The plight of a dying 10-year-old girl in urgent need of a lung transplant has been taken up by some GOP lawmakers, and it’s shining a light on what critics say is a questionable policy that puts children further down the waiting list.
I guess Sarah was wrong, no panels just one liberal progressive deciding who should be alive. Cool right?
How about the Susan Rice appointment to a non-conformation hearing position… WOW
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s top national security adviser Tom Donilon is resigning and will be replaced by U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, marking a significant shakeup to the White House foreign policy team.
Lets look at that for a minute. A person who follows blindly the talking points handed to her by Barack Obama and his campaign staff, is now going to be “Advisor” to him. Basically that is to say, Susan Rice will be saying YES to whatever Obama and Valerie Jarret decide is best for our nation. Just like blaming the deaths of four Americans on a video and lying for weeks about the cause of Benghazi. Good plan. All this is, a giant F–K You to the American people. Obama is saying “I’m king, I do what I want”
Then there’s the McRino, Grahamnesty Rubio backstabbing of America over the latest Amnesty push.
Key word “Indicates” never said outright. Rubio threw a promising career away for something that didn’t need to be done. The only thing he did was assist the democrat party in making republicans the bad guys in the media again. Rubio fell for the cigar room and brandy elites like McCain and Graham who have this idea that hispanics will vote R if they help pass reform. NOT going to happen. What will happen is AMNESTY will allow a surge in Democrat voters and end any hopes of republican leadership for many many years. UNLESS it is done under a REPUBLICAN Presidents term.
The Immigration reform must include MORE PUNITIVE language than give aways and it must include BORDER ENFORCEMENT. Anything else is LOSER for America.
PITTSBURGH (AP) – The meteorologists tell us that Wednesday morning in southwestern Pennsylvania’s largest city will be crisp and sunny with a high of 64. That’s about all we know. Being a weather forecast, it offers nothing about the political climate that will have been created by the election the day before.
The outlook is obvious but often overlooked: In a deeply divided nation, on the first dawn after we choose a new leader, every ray of victory’s sunshine brings a corresponding thundercloud of defeat and bitterness.
“There are going to be a whole bunch of people who are distraught and who won’t know what to do – no matter which side wins,” says Chris Ivey, 36, a Pittsburgh filmmaker and ardent Barack Obama supporter. “People will try to go back to their routine, but there’s going to be a lot of soul-searching to do.”
On Wednesday, roughly half of Americans will awaken to find that the horse they backed disappointed them. That presumes we even have an immediate result; don’t forget 2000, when America had to wait more than a month.
Yet there is, in the national conversation, surprisingly little talk about not accepting the winner if things don’t go your way. Sure, some Democrats joke about moving to Canada, but gauging the severity of responses on the day after is a gauzy exercise in tarot-card reading that even television’s loudest mouths rarely discuss.
While the spectrum of possible morning-after reactions runs from water-cooler grousing to partisan lawyering to violence, the depth of sentiment this year – more impassioned, many say, than even the last two elections – could make for a bumpy ride, particularly if the results are close.
This is, after all, the culmination of a political season that saw people weeping at rallies, schoolchildren taking sides and, in one case, a teenager getting shot after trying to remove a sign for John McCain from an Ohio lawn. As David Gergen, a White House adviser during the Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton administrations and now a CNN analyst said on air a couple of weeks ago: “We’ve got a country now that we’re sneering at each other across cultural lines.”
I will say this, NO MATTER WHO wins tomorrow WE as a nation LOSE! Do I sound cynical?
Here’s the reason I feel that way:
Barack Hussein Obama has never said “We need calm after the election” or “We need to respect the voters if we lose” or “If I lose this election I will congratulate John McCain, and he will be my president” I have not heard anything from Obama like “Please don’t call me the Messiah”…ANYTHING to calm the worries.. NOTHING… A true leader would do something like this in his position. Instead Obama is using it as he always has, as a tool. As if to say “IF you don’t elect me I will unleash my minions” that has been a tactic of his family in Kenya. (See Raila Odinga)
So if Obama loses we can be headed for riots, internal warfare, inner city chaos. And Obama is OK with that… just like his uncle, it is not about country, it is about Obama.
John McCain has not done anything of that nature either, but his supporters are not the “rioting type” they are not the ones that will scream voter fraud and take to the streets… Frankly McCain’s supporters are the silent MAJORITY, they are the ones that have jobs, and can’t be at every rally McCain throws. McCain supporters are mostly moderate, hard working family folks that just want to be able to raise a family with little government interference. Besides that, McCain is LOSING in every poll so he is NOT leading, it is not his place to calm fears about the oppositions supporters.
Understand this folks, EVEN IF MCCAIN wins, WE are losers. We lose because McCain is the better of the two but not the one WE NEEDED. We needed a candidate that was STRONG, with CONSERVATIVE values, not a waffle or panderer. IF you look at the Hispanic vote after the election, you will see that HISPANICS voted for Obama, so After trying to sell us on AMNESTY, McCain still lost the Hispanic vote. The polls are indicating the Hispanic vote will be the very group that wins it for Obama. So tell me what pandering gets you?..
McCain will be better for Business, he will be better for defense and he will be better for the economy than Barack Hussein Obama, but NEITHER of these two deserve to wash the windows on the white house much less measure the drapes.
I’ll be voting for McCain in the hopes that Sarah Palin will gain enough experience to compete with Hillary in 2012….IF Obama wins, the push for CONSERVATIVES in Congress in 2012 starts on the 5th. IF McCain wins we can wait a week.
Prediction: Obama wins: (I may be cynical but I can’t see that many polls being wrong, I hope I am)
The first year we wont really notice, the second year we will see JOB LOSSES, bigger economic destruction due to job losses, and oil and gas prices through the roof…In 2010 Congresswill be headed RIGHT. Or we will go into civil war by 2012.
Listening to Obama’s speeches, I am the person he is speaking too.. I do not make “Too Much Money” I am a struggling homeowner, I am trying to put food on the table, I am wanting my kids to go to college.. IF I was one of the LEMMINGS that believed everything I heard in the media, I would be standing at Obama rallies screaming “CHANGE DAMN IT, CHANGE” But I am not. I am one of those people that asks HOW will this happen? I am one that says, “That sounds too good to be true, it probably is” And I am reading the fine print. It is not possible for Obama to come through on his promises, he is going ot have the bigger disaproval rating within his first year than Bush had after 8 years.
I will Hope that Obama’s CHANGE will not plunge our nation into internal warfare. I will HOPE that Obama’s CHANGE will not destroy our country.
I will not be a PROUD AMERICAN if Obama wins tomorrow, and this blog header will CHANGE.
The sign went up Sunday evening, bold black letters against the stark white background of the marquee at the Colony South Hotel & Conference Center in Clinton: “Country First. McCain/Palin.”
By daybreak, pandemonium had broken loose all across heavily Democratic Prince George’s County. Many local supporters of Democrat Barack Obama, jolted by the message as they headed down Branch Avenue on their Monday morning commutes, grabbed cellphones and BlackBerrys to notify friends. Operators of neighborhood e-mail group lists cried foul to their memberships. The NAACP logged calls. Community leaders demanded boycotts of the hotel, a common venue for Democratic events.
“Businesspeople have to be mindful of the sentiments and sensibilities of their market trading area, and Prince George’s County is overwhelmingly for Obama,” said community activist Arthur Turner of Kettering, who was among those advocating a boycott. “People I have talked to look at the sign as a slap in the face. They feel it was blatant disrespect. . . . I have heard people say they will no longer patronize Colony South because of that disrespect.”
The outcry over the hotel marquee tapped into the passion — and sometimes anger — that has characterized this fall’s presidential campaign. Supporters of Republican candidate John McCain have vented their rage at rallies this week, applauding thunderously as McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists.”
Prince George’s, though, is clearly Obama Country. As the nation’s wealthiest mostly black community, where about 77 percent of registered voters are Democrats, residents have Obama placards in their yards, bumper stickers on their cars and the candidate’s visage on their T-shirts.
The marquee supporting the GOP ticket in “an area that is strongly African American was like putting a stink bomb in the middle of the living room,” said University of Maryland political Professor Ron Walters. “What it does show is the emotions that are around this campaign and this election.”
Colony South General Manager Alan Vahabzadeh said that the hotel, one of several Washington area businesses that has dared to venture into the political thicket, got the message after about 100 phone calls and three dozen e-mails. The sign came down Wednesday afternoon.
We have all heard about the McCain/Palin signs being removed from yards and what not.. But this to me is FUBAR. A business owner puts up a sign supporting their candidate, so what?
I have walked into businesses that I KNOW are Obama supporters, I have seen pictures of OBAMA and Signs saying Obama/Biden in front of Businesses. IF I need something from the businesses that support the democrat candidate, I don’t give a damn about the signs…So I go right on in to buy my porn, have an abortion or pray to SATAN…
The Democrats have the majority, if the “BAILOUT” bill was so great why did so many DEMOCRATS not support it? Democrats voted 140 to 95 in favor of the legislation, while just 65 Republicans backed the bill and 133 opposed it.
I am absolutely glad this bill failed and WE need to vote every moron currently holding a seat OUT of office. Reagan had it right: “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help” Doesn’t make me feel better at all.
Remember all those libtards that say “Republicans had the majority” so they should have done yada yada yada…. Well the Democrats have the MAJORITY, and look.. 140 to 95 so almost 1/3 of Democrats did not want this bailout, less than half of the Republicans voted against it..
So while the Pelosi’s and Franks are blaming the Republicans, they need to look in there own house. Oh but that would be taking responsibility for the failure.WHY not 100% Democrat support? Obama liked it? Let me tell you why, it is unpopular and Obama can’t be seen as supporting an unpopular bill, McCain is used to SUPPORTING unpopular bills, that’s why he is called a “MAVERICK” and that is STRAIGHT FORWARD walk the walk leadership that is in dire need.
The Pelosi mantra as adopted by the most liberal congress ever, is BLAME Bush. Well Bush is not totally responsible for this mess.. IF you haven’t seen the truth, you need to, unfortunately YOUTUBE has taken the video down, perhaps it is due to Obama’s “Stop the truth” campaign.
I was again searching the interwebs for some articles and opinions on various things and I came across this one, and it made my blood boil.
This was written by some nutbasket named Peter Dyer
What if we had never gone to war? What if, after the shocking crimes of September 11, 2001, the United States had pursued a different course?
What if all the blood which has been spilled in the name of justice still flowed in living veins; all the American, Iraqi and other lives shattered were still whole; all the homes destroyed or lost still standing, still occupied by families who never harmed us?
We have spent monumental treasure and energy on two wars. What if, instead, we had invested a fraction of that in a determined, unrelenting effort to bring Osama bin Laden to justice in a fair and transparent trial in a court of law?
Of course, we’ll never know.
When we were confronted with the most heinous series of terrorist acts in our history Americans overwhelmingly lined up behind President Bush’s call for a “Global War on Terror.”
We can only speculate on what might have been the result of a different course of action, guided by a fundamentally different vision.
For two reasons, though, such speculation would not be entirely baseless:
One week after the U.S. began bombing Afghanistan, the Taliban presented us with an opportunity to investigate the possibility of a peaceful, legal resolution to the crimes of 9/11.
On Oct. 14, 2001, Afghanistan’s deputy prime minister, Haji Abdul Kabir, announced that if the United States stopped the bombing and produced evidence of bin Laden’s guilt, “we would be ready to hand him over to a third country” for trial.
President Bush, determined to launch and pursue the “war on terror,” refused even to discuss, much less investigate this possibility.
* A different course
Exactly 30 months after 9/11 there was another catastrophic terrorist attack in another country: Spain. On March 11, 2004, 191 people in Madrid were killed and over 1,800 injured when 10 backpack bombs exploded on four morning rush-hour commuter trains.
As with 9/11, “11-M” was the most devastating series of terrorist acts in Spanish history.
But Spain chose the path the U.S. rejected.
The Spanish government addressed the crimes of 11-M with the tools, techniques and resources of law enforcement. There was an investigation, arrests, a trial, and appeals.
This process is today essentially complete.
Spain has demonstrated an effective alternative to war as a means of addressing and resolving the bloody horrors of terrorism.
The Spanish example can thus help us make an educated guess at how things might have gone had the Bush administration not immediately and contemptuously rejected Kabir’s offer of Oct. 14, 2001.
And while such an endeavor can’t undo the past seven years, perhaps it can help us make a better choice next time our leaders tell us it’s time for another war.
Here’s how Spain did it.
Two days after the bombings, the police made their first arrests.
After a 25-month investigation, 29 people – 15 Moroccans, nine Spaniards, two Syrians, one Egyptian, one Algerian and one Lebanese – were indicted on April 11, 2006. The Madrid bombing trial opened on Feb. 15, 2007, and ended on July 2.
Four months later, on Oct. 31, 2007, the three-judge tribunal delivered the verdicts.
Three men were convicted of murder, attempted murder and committing terrorist acts. They were sentenced to thousands of years in prison each, although under Spanish law, none will serve longer than 40 years. There is no capital punishment in Spain.
Eighteen were found guilty of lesser offenses. Seven were acquitted. During the trial all charges were dropped against one of the defendants.
0n July 18 of this year, four of the sentences were overturned on appeal to the Supreme Court. Thus, in the end, 17 out of the original 29 indicted have been convicted.
The Supreme Court also concluded that the real ringleaders of the crimes of 11-M were among seven suspects who, three weeks after the bombs exploded, blew themselves up in an apartment outside Madrid when a police assault began.
The U.S. experience and the Spanish experience are, of course, not identical. But there are arguably enough parallels to facilitate a comparison and enable some credible answers to the question: what if?
There is much more of this ridiculous comparison HERE
UNBELIEVABLE… Ok kiddies and folks with sensitivities to vulgarity you might want to bail now:
Still here? Ok last warning…….
Well Mr Dyer, you seem to be looking for some way to incite the Mulsim readers of that piece of shit rag al-jazeera. Let me help you out with a little history:
Beirut, USS Cole, Several airlines, and 2 US Embassies, WTC1 and WTC 2 9-11..
All of those crimes were committed by followers of Islam, based in ISLAMIC countries against the United States of America. Diplomacy yielded very little in the way of retribution for the atrocities, and there was no end in sight for the murder of innocents to stop. You say we should never have done anything but treat it as a crime? Are you fucking kidding me?
What Spain did was turn tail and run, rather than help to install some sort of “Other way” to the masses. I personally wish GWB would have nuked Mecca, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, on 9-12-01, I would have danced in the streets like YOUR READERS did on 9-11.
Hows this for a WHAT IF”
What if the Redneck Mafia decided to DESTROY MECCA during the pilgrimage? Would it be a crime, should it be handled by strictly law enforcement? I think your readers would agree that it would be an act of war… but that would be wrong huh?
I find it hilarious that you would assume that the Taliban would turn over UBL, or that they would help in the hunt for UBL… UBL is not the only problem, Islam is. Your readers are, and idiots like you are.
I suppose the recent bombing in Pakistan is of no concern to you based on your logic, we should not treat that as an attack but just a law enforcement issue? We are at war and personally I think every fucking dead Muslim is one less problem the world has to deal with. I think that entire religion should be wiped off the map I think the US Armed forces are doing a tremendous job of sending Muslim radical fuckheads to meet that pedophile fucknozzle Muhammad.
You might get your wish too Peter Dyer, if Barrack Hussein Obama takes the reins in America, you will see a “Spain like” response, I imagine we will surrender faster than you drop to your knees 5 times a day. (Maybe 6 depending on which Sheik you are blowing)
I would like to remind my readers and friends that I spoke about where things were going when McCain pulled even with the “Chosen one”. Like I said, it is going to get worse… Al-Qaeda wants Obama to win, Al-Jazeera readers want Obama to win, France, Russia, China, North Korea, Mexico, Venezuela ALL want Obama to win this election for a reason. It is not economic. IT is their best chance at getting a surrender at all cost leader in charge, and in Al-Qaeda’s case the ONLY chance of claiming victory.
All Muslims should have to drive Volkswagons…. :rotflmao:
The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsman like way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.
Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the winner.
After much back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota.
There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, John Mc. returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.
Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another ‘bad hair’ day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day John Mc. came in with 20 fish and Obama came in again with none. That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, ‘Obama, I think John Mc. is a low-life, cheatin’ son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don’t even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.’
The next night. after John Mc. returns with 50 fish, Harry Reid said to Obama, ‘Well, tell me, how is John Mc. cheating?’
Obama replied, ‘Harry, you’re not going to believe this, but he’s cutting holes in the ice’.
Truthfully I would vote for this guy before Obama. This guy has a clue and Oh yeah he appears to be black. I am sure he will be ridiculed in the “African American” community, but in private those same folks will realize he is right.
