View Article  The Wit and Wisdom of Barack Obama
SMARTER THAN YOUR AVERAGE ….?
This is my tribute to Barack Obama. It is a heart-felt piece honoring his apparent victory over Hillary Clinton. I hope it is taken as I intended – as abject sarcasm and farce.    more »
View Article  Barack Obama and the Culture of Death
A BARACK OBAMA ABORTION PRIMER
There is another reason we need to band together to defeat Barack Obama.  He is one of the most pro-abortion candidates we’ve ever seen.  There are some terrifying new developments in assisted suicide in California.  Considering Obama’s view on partial birth abortion and his plans to socialize medicine it has terrifying implications for everyone who isn’t absolutely perfect, young, healthy, and beautiful.  It is literally a license to kill.

View Article  The Problems Facing Big Mac’s Attack
MAYBE NOT WHAT YOU THINK

The first thing we need is a Hollywood face who is younger than my grandfather to help promote John McCain.  We need a rock star. Conservatives need to start treating Hispanics with respect. They are our future, hard-line conservatives are (fortunately) a dying breed.  The world is changing.  Conservatives need to change. The first thing they need to do is understand, to comprehend that in order to win, John McCain needs to move toward the center.  We all know they are incapable of rational thinking and behavior.  They are too busy being spoiled and selfish. ...   more »
View Article  A New Mexico Bombshell: Outgoing Domenici Endorses Wilson
SO DO I

I like Steve Pearce.  Thus said, I am furious with him for deserting his 2nd District House Seat and running against Heather Wilson for the US Senate Seat Pete Domenici is vacating.  Right now, the way things look, not only are we going to lose Wilson's Congressional District, but we could lose the 2nd.  The Dems are running another of those Blue Dogs that are decimating our House numbers.  The way it stands now, if the election were held today, Democrat Tom Udall would easily defeat either candidate.  I think in the long run, though Wilson may ...   more »
View Article  Holding My Nose, I Defend Hillary Clinton
PINK POLKADOT PIGS FLY

The thing I dislike most about Barack Obama is the fact that he’s made me defend Hillary Clinton.  This is one of the last things in the world I would expect to be doing, right up there with watching pink and lavender polka-dotted pigs flying.

There are some women who consider Hillary Clinton’s run for the Rose Garden something akin to a second magical mystical mystery tour.  There are those who all her efforts mythological. To that I say Bull! Magic has nothing to do with it.  There’s nothing mythological about it.  We’re watching a very ...   more »
View Article  Conservatives Mistreating Bush & the McClellan Betrayal
IT WILL HAUNT THEM
I think one of the saddest things I’ve seen in quite awhile is this book by Scott McClellan.  It is tragic.  There is no happy ending for this story, none.  Scott McClellan, unless he becomes a vast left wing nut, is finished.  He has betrayed people who were good and decent to him. He’s burned his Republican bridges, but from what I hear from Michael Medved’s broadcasts, his mother detests GWB and the GOP, has gone third party.  His father is a disbarred Texas attorney.

I am sick and tired of Republicans Bush-bashing.  Once again we ...   more »

THE OBAMASSIAH AND IRAQ

Once upon a time, (okay it was about 870 days or so ago) in a galaxy far, far away, Barack Obama visited Iraq.  He was there for two days.  He saw nothing that made him change his opinion that the US needed to pull out of Iraq.    The day after he left President Bush announced the “serge”.  Who would’a guessed?

What do you do when you have a person running for President of the United States  who doesn’t have either the courage to visit the our current battlefield or the inclination to do so.  ...   more »
View Article  What is Dominionism and How Does It Damage John McCain?
NOT SO VERY CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES

This is what it’s all about.
“…"All sides of the humanistic spectrum are now, in principle, demonic; communists and conservatives, anarchists and socialists, fascists and republicans," explains Rushdoony. "When someone tries to undermine the commitment to Jehovah which is fundamental to the civil order of a godly state--then that person needs to be restrained by the magistrate...those who will not acknowledge Jehovah as the ultimate authority behind the civil law code which the magistrate is enforcing would be punished and repressed,"….”

View Article  Can Bob Barr Damage John McCain?
OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?

Is Bob Barr’s Libertarian Party nomination the Kiss of Death for John McCain’s Presidential efforts or is the impact of his nomination greatly exaggerated?  I’m beginning to wonder if it might just be the latter.  In 2004, Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik pulled in less than 400,000 nationally.  Granted Badnarik was a poor candidate.

That same year, Constitution Party candidate Michael Peroutka did a little less than 150,000 votes.  Ralph Nader came in third with about 465,000 votes.   In 2000 the combined candidacies of Pat Buchanan (Reform), Harry Browne (Libertarian) and Howard Phillips (Constitution) brought in ...   more »

 Is Obama’s Cash Cow Wrecking FEC?
   He could still end up in some very deep do do by manipulating the International Church of Christ’s non profit status.  The Pink Flamingo has been hinting at this for some time. Grizzly Groundswell has more!
“…The fact that Obama said this after promising explicitly that no campaign-related activity would take place during his appearance at the United Church of Christ shows that he doesn’t have much of a conscience at all. Obama’s conduct reminds us of a caller to a talk radio show who, after indicating ...   more »

STICKS AND STONES

This evening after a long cooking session (nothing caught on fire or exploded, FYI) I sat down to start working on a couple of articles about Sarah Palin.  My inbox was being accosted by requests for me to remove blogs from the I Vote the Elephant blogroll, to protest yours truly.  First things first, I don't know what is the big deal about any blogroll.  I know the requests were intended to insult, which is fine. To each their own.  But to me a blog roll is no big deal. The world does not begin or end ...   more »
View Article  Why Does Barack Obama Want to Decimate Our Military
 AN AGENDA OF LIES
Is Barack Obama on drugs?  The other day Jack Wheeler sent out an email saying Obama was on drugs.  My first reaction, since I think Wheeler is a crock and a fraud is just that.  Atlas Shrugs has put together some additional information.  Again- this is a for what it's worth and consider the source.  Frankly, I give about as much creedene to anything Wheeler does as I do Larry Sinclair.

This video is making the rounds. If it is accurate, we're dealing with a very serious problem here.  Either this man has a serious anti-American ...   more »
View Article  Life, the Clintons and Barack Obama
GETTING RID OF THE CLINTONS
Yesterday, as I was driving down to Alamo to see Indiana Jones, I was listening to FOX on XM.  A piece came up about Senator Kennedy being unable to fulfill his obligation to deliver an address at graduation celebrations at Wellesley College, Hillary Clinton’s Alma Mater. Senator Kennedy has requested that Barack Obama deliver the address for him.  

Why not ask Hillary Clinton?  She is without a doubt Wellesley’s most famous graduate.  

It was like a light-bulb finally being switched on in my pathetic mind.  Ted Kennedy is supporting Barack Obama because he ...   more »
View Article  What Is Richard Viguerie Doing with Bob Barr & the Libertarians
IS THERE A MOONIE FACTOR?
There has been a fascinating development along Libertarian lines these past few weeks.  Evidently Richard Viguerie, the “conservative” version of a snake-oil salesman had decided to take over the Libertarian Party to help his pal Bob Barr run for POTUS.  Neal Bortz is in on this along with the dynamic duo.

We know Viguerie wishes to do harm to John McCain.  Just what this tremendous trio is planning is quite obvious.  They are going to attempt to prevent John McCain from winning the election.  I have a feeling we are going to see an unholy ...   more »
View Article  Who Says One Person (or two) Can’t Make A Difference
HE POWER OF THE BLOG
The NYTimes has mentioned Sarah Palin as potential VP pick for McCain.

Let me begin by stating that the governor of Alaska is going to challenge the polar bear ruling.

My cynical father always says that one person can’t make much of a difference in the world. He also has this theory that politics are so crooked one person can’t make much of a difference. 
Well, my father is wrong (for once)!  Two men, Adam Brikley and Steve Maloney have made a difference in the world.  Both

View Article  What Is the GOP To Do?
EVOLVE OR BE LEFT BEHIND
I have been ranting and raving about conservatives and the GOP for ages.  Anyone can rant and rave.  But – we need reason and plans of action.
 I am not about to suggest a plan of action.  That is for wiser minds than my own.   I can, though come up with some fairly educated observations. I don’t think there is much more anyone can do.  We all know the GOP is either going to sink or swim with John McCain.    He is going to drag them kicking or screaming into the 21st Century, ...   more »
View Article  Non Republican Conservatives Are Causing Problems for the GOP
THE INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY OF THE FAR RIGHT
This is yet another in the series I am doing on how non Republican conservatives are destroying the GOP.  The past part looked at the sources of the problem.  Today we examine how pervasive the problem is.  This is another of those pieces where I've been working on for several weeks.

The most important lesson we can take to the ballot box this political season is the fact that there is an energized conservative movement that is completely independent of the GOP.  They are made up of several factions I will detail below.  ...   more »
View Article  Is There a Method In Barack Obama's Madness (At GWB & Big Mac)?
HE DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH?

If the 2008 Democratic Primary were a soap opera, wait a minute it is!  If the final days of the Primary were a soap opera, it is entirely possible last week's bravado performance by Barack Obama would have been staged.  I'd say we were going for Best Actor in the Roll of Candidate Defamed. 

There is emotion.
There are tears.
Jears
Laughs
Terror
Heart-ache
Indignation

(And that was just the first three minutes of Barack Obama's retraction)!

Hillary Clinton was completely pushed off the front page of everything.  She no longer existed.  Barack Obama was ...   more »

SATURDAY, MAY 17

We had a beautiful rain today, along with lightening, thunder, and hail.  Naturally Rumsfeld had to run around barking at the thunder.  I wish I understood...?  He an Bubbles had a tag team match on top of me this morning, waking me up. 

Another one bites the dust.  I guess my favorite (sigh) Tom Selleck is going to join the list of the unemployed.  He’s supporting John McCain!   McCain daughter and Blogette Megan has all the news.

SEPARATING CONSERVATIVES & REPUBLICANS

I am known as a cynical, conservative "hating" witch with a "B".  It is true, I no longer trust anything with a "conservative brand".  I am am angry with these people for having infiltrated and destroyed much of my beloved GOP. I am angry with good, decent conservative Republicans for falling for their line of BS. Unfortunately there is a very nasty little bottom line here.  Good, decent conservatives have been manipulated, co-opted, and some just downright purchased by one of two or both manipulators and puppetmasters.  The first is Sun Myung Moon.  When you start ...   more »
View Article  Who Ordered the Conservative "Hit" on Lindsey?
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE
Quin Hillyer wrote one of the nastiest hit pieces I’ve seen to date against Lindsey.    Naturally he is channeling Michelle Malkin who has this pathological hatred of Lindsey.  I think it’s because she dislikes anything Hispanic and Lindsey is not exactly a bigot, and sorta implied that she and her precious little friends are.   I guess since she is promoting Buddy Witherspoon, we all know who is handling her leash – the John Tanton crowed.  She’s also part of what I call the Dump Lindsey Movement.  It’s all part of certain non-Republican ...   more »
