When Did FOX News Turn Liberal?

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:42:37 -0600

WHAT IS WRONG WITH FOX?

Have you noticed a (not so) subtle change in FOX News lately? If CNN was once the “Clinton News Network” perhaps FOX should now be dubbed the Obama News Network. While I’ve been staying at the Larian (the best place to stay in Tombstone) I’ve been stuck with MSNBC and CNN. I’ve been picking FOX up on my blasted XM (I hate that thing). It is rather remarkable. I am beginning to think that John McCain is getting better coverage and more equal time on CNN.

FAIR AND BALANCED – NOT
FOX does “Fair ...

Has Obama Milked the Cash Cow Dry

FRANTIC FUND-RAISING

Remember in May, Barack Obama only raised 22 million, his weakest showing to date. June’s numbers are not in yet, but if the frantic fundraising pace is any indicator, June may not be all that good either. Meanwhile, the Dems are crying fowl (intended spelling) over a new loop-hole the GOP has found to raise more money. While there is all this weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by the Dems and their MSM supporters, maybe they should remember how Obama cheated by going back on his word about federal funds. This is politics, and all is ...

Tombstone, Wyatt Earp & America

SJ Reidhead — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 23:14:58 -0600

FRIDAY, JULY 4

Tombstone is America in microcosm. In order to understand the heart and soul of America you need to understand two things baseball and Tombstone. More than a mining town, dirty and small minded, Tombstone is a symbol. It is America's version of Camelot. Wyatt Earp is our King Arthur. If the characters and storyline of Tombstone had not existed America would have invented it.

Wyatt Earp, age 79, 1928

Obama’s Marxist Friends & FARC

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:58:19 -0600

OKAY, IT’S A CHEAP SHOT

It may be a heap shot, but it’s such a good cheap shot I can’t resist it. What do these things have in common:

Hugo Chavez
Bill Ayers
FARC

Well, they are Barack Obama’s little Marxist friends, who are getting thrown under the bus in the Obamassiah’s attempt to become more moderate than John McCain. Fact is, it makes the piece that circulated today about John McCain roughing up a Sandinista all the more fascinating. Big Lizards has more on the story.

"...President Reagan had a long-term plan to drive the Sandinistas out of power; ...

DON'T TREAD ON ME?

This Week’s “Subliminal Smear” – McCain’s Experience - via the military.

STOP SMEARING BIG MAC
Are you as angry as I am? I know politics is politics, but when is enough enough? Today at lunch, I was in tears as I thought about the mistreatment of John McCain, not at the hands of the communists, but at the hands of the Democrats. It wasn’t because I am a supporter of Senator McCain, but because of the past. I was a teenager when those images of the POWs returning home filtered in (black and white) to the ...

Storm Clouds On the Obama Bus?

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:06:57 -0600

FASTEN YOUR SEAT-BELTS

We could be in for a bumpy ride. Larry Sinclair has provided his phone records - and strangely enough, they point Sinclair, not Barack Obama, telling the truth. From Obama Who?

"...“A newly released CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll found that if Obama does not select Clinton as his running mate, 22 percent of her supporters would stay home this fall (almost 4 million voters) — and another 17 percent (a little over 3 million) would vote for McCain.” –CNN (parentheses are mine). So, if we use 2004 as the baseline - GWB won with 62 million voters ...

John McCain - American Hero

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:46:45 -0600

HONORING AN AMERICAN HERO

The other day I read somewhere on a blog that it is possible the younger group, kids not old enough to vote, look at the world much differently than their older college going siblings with their newly washed brains. Because the teen set is so completely into their game systems and saving the universe, they have a tendency to look for heroes. They live super-heroes in their comics, movies, television and game systems. They are also rather affected by the whole 9/11 trauma.

It makes sense. My 18 year old niece looks at the world much ...

More Obama Lies?

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:45:25 -0600

STOP THE SMEAR?

Evidently Barack Obama is the gift that keeps on giving. The MSM here in the US is ignoring the Great Birth Certificate Debacle, but fortunately there is the Israeli press. The Israli Insider isn't letting this story go away, fortunately. Then there is the great fundraising lie - only the "little people" are supporting Barack Obama. Horse Hockey! Even deeper horse hockey is the fact that the American MSM is fawning, all in love with the Great Obamassiah. They don't care to dig beyond the campaign rhetoric, even when it changes every other minute or two. It ...

Where in the Word Is Cindy McCain?

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:27:15 -0600

DOES ANYONE CARE

What she's doing isn't very glamorous. There aren't many photographers following her around. She isn't getting much good press for her adventures, and she's not being compared to Jackie. You aren't seeing many "conservative" blogs talking about what she's being doing, but the Hillary blogs are full of it! Naturally she isn't being covered by FOX. There they are oh so busy pandering to Barack Obama and doing anything possible to sandbag her husband. You can read about her humanitarian mission primarily on the McCain Blogett or on the campaign web site. One of the projects ...

The Obama Bully Game Against John McCain Continues

SJ Reidhead — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:11:36 -0600

THE PSYCH OPS SMEAR GAME

The on FOX, we were treated to the same old litany from the Obama campaign. It was the same song, just a new verse. FOX appears to be in the tank for Barack Obama. If you will notice, FOX covers Obama's speeches with adoration, and cuts into McCains. When FOX does use a "real" Republican, they use Karl Rove. The rest of the time they resort to extreme conservatives like Bay Buchanan and Laura Ingraham, neither one of whom have any love for the GOP. They are falling lock-step into the Obama Subliminal smear campaign...

THE SMELL TEST

There are times when things just don’t pass the smell test. In other words, something has an odor of mendacity upon it. (Stolen from Tennessee Williams). I keep going back to the fact that Barack Obama has a Teflon coating that’s been sprayed with PAM and hosed down with the most slippery of non-stick substances. Let’s face it, if the media were playing fair, Hillary Clinton would be the nominee, not a narcissistic, thin-skinned, inexperienced individual with a cast of associates that would make any Chicago hood proud. There is such a tremendous media bias...

A New "Princess Diana" Is Being Created by the Media

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:46:17 -0600

CINDY MCCAIN

"...Today, to the puzzlement of many, Mr. McCain and his first wife remain on good terms."I have no bitterness," she recently told Britain's Daily Mail, who described her as the woman he "callously left behind."..."

She is being treated like dirt in the American press, but the international press is latching on to her, lavishing slavish, drooling coverage on her the likes of which has not been seen since Diana pretended to do her humanitarian thing. The big difference is the fact that THIS is who Cindy McCain really is, and she doesn't seem to care ...

Obama, Money, Polls & John McCain

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 12:15:55 -0600

SMOKE & MIRRORS

Considering the poor month Barack Obama had in May with his fund-raising attempts, where he pulled in just $200,000 more than John McCain, why is he pulling out of federal funding? Well, he's going to leave that up to John McCain and all that dirty money he is taking from PACs. The problem with that little canard is the fact that, accoring to Ruffini, who did another of his magical money studies, only 1% of John McCain's money comes from PACS. Once again, the way I keep telling you, Barack Obama is a lobby sucking ...

Hispanics Are People Too & They Vote!

SJ Reidhead — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:16:57 -0600

DOES THE STUPIDITY EVER END?

We are being treated to the usual hysterical Henny-Penny crocodile tears about the sky falling. There is weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. The world as we know it is coming to an end. John McCain, that durn Republican, met with Hispanics. Can you believe it. John McCain had the audacity to meet with Hispanics! Those nasty Hispanics...they do it every time.

"..."He's one John McCain in front of white Republicans. And he's a different John McCain in front of Hispanics," Rosanna Pulido, a Latina who heads the Illinois Minuteman Project, told the ...

If you start going through the blogs, you will discover that there are a tremendous number of blogs protecting the honor of Michelle Obama while going out of their way to defame Cindy McCain any way possible. There is a trend ...

Will Barack Obama Stop His Supporters from Smearing John McCain?

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:55:30 -0600

STOP THE SMEARS

Yesterday I mentioned that Barack Obama reminds me of a certain individual who would condemn others for the things he was about to do or was doing. Barack Obama reminds me of this person in so many different ways it is alarming. So, the Obama Campaign sets up this web site condemning the GOP for smearing him, but allows his campaign to go at John McCain in some vile and disgusting ways.

LET ME COUNT THE WAYS
1. Stop the crap about John McCain's age!

"...Democrats are deliberately talking in code about the presumptive 71-year-old GOP ...

Is "Smear" the New "Racist" for Obama? (updated)

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:33:15 -0600

FIGHT THE SMEAR-MONGERS

I agree with Michelle Malkin on this one. Yes - I agree with her. I disagree with her so much, when I agree, I try to be fair and balanced – which is a heck of a lot more than FOX is being right now. Bob Beckel and his little Democratic friends are doing their best to portray John McCain, the “Right”, and Conservatives as not exactly being honest. We aren’t the ones doing all the “smear” jobs on Obama. Some – but not all that much. The "smear" is in the mendacity of the Obama Campaign. ...

Conservatives Need to Quit Complaining about John McCain’s Energy Policies

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:34:44 -0600

STOP THE THREATS & START WORKING

I’m trying to remember an old saying about those who can’t complain and those who do just get out and do. It makes me wonder about conservatives who don’t like John McCain’s energy policies. Maybe they should just shut up about it already yet and go out there, roll up their sleeves, and figure a way out of this mess. Or – can they. I have this bad feeling all they can do is complain, because they’re impotent to come up with any real rational solution.

John McCain is being hounded by conservatives who ...

Is Larry Sinclair’s Appearance at the NPC Free Speech?

IF HE WERE EXPOSING A REPUBLICAN...?

If Larry SInclair was in the process of exposing John McCain would The Daily Kos, Fire Dog Lake and the usual Soros smear machine be complaining and trying to prevent him from speaking? Or, would they be hosting the event?

The usual minions of the left are suddenly circling around the interesting character of Larry Sinclair once again. On the 18th, Sinclair is going to be making an appearance at the National Press Club. If he is simply a “troll” why not just ignore him and let him fade back into the woodwork? ...

Voters, Trends, and What Could Happen? Introduction

A four part series on a few theories about the coming election are located below. It did not start out that way, but that’s how I’ve posted it. I am throwing in a number of trackbacks in the introduction. Some may belong elsewhere in the article.

It is possible we are seeing some major changes in not only the GOP, but the Democratic Party. We could also be seeing changes in the Libertarian and Constitution Parties. Frankly, I don’t think the latter parties have enough members to make a difference, but there are some conservatives who ...

Voters, Trends, and What Could Happen? Part I

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:52:52 -0600

OUT OF TOUCH CONSERVATIVES

What do we really know? Hard line anti-immigration “reform” is a loser for the GOP. Last night Lindsey basically slaughtered hard-line CofCC racist Buddy Witherspoon. There are indications that additional hard-liners went down in SC, but I don’t know enough about the races yet to make a blanket statement. What I do know is it appears (and I say appears) that hard line conservatives in SC in the state house and senate did not fare as well as was expected. This makes the latest Jim DeMint move a little puzzling. He is forming a PAC ...

IS OBAMA GETTING RELIGION?

We are currently being treated to a barrage of bad news from the religious front. Catholics are mad at John McCain because he was on Ellen's show. Did Big Mac attack Billy Graham? We are made to believe not only is John McCain failing with conservatives and the "base" but he is losing the "Christian" vote to Obama by large measures. Evidently none of this is true. From what I can tell the media thinks "Christians" are stupid and don't mind be taken in by Barack Obama's lovely rhetoric and the hate that spews from his ...

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:17:39 -0600

GROUPS, MINORITIES, ASSOCIATIONS

We learn that there is a 25% dapproval rating for the Dems in Congress. Their ratings are lower than that of President Bush (I think those polls are a crock). If this is the case, is it possible there could be some Dems who lose their jobs in November and not the other way around? I'm still crunching numbers from SC, but it is possible some of our incumbents could be in trouble, and not all of these going down may be Republicans. If people are in an anti-incumbent mood, those who have marginal seats could be ...

TODAY’S SENIORS =THE REAGAN DEMOCRATS

No wonder Barack Obama is having so many problems with Seniors. Look at the way he is treating John McCain. The Obama campaign is treating today’s episode.
ABCNews Blog

“…the Obama campaign pounced. On a hastily-arranged Obama campaign conference call Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., Dr. Susan Rice, and former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig, all assailed McCain. Kerry called the remarks "unbelievably out of touch and inconsistent with the needs and concerns of Americans," particularly the families of troops in Iraq.

We Want Palin, Will Our Wishes Matter?

DO WE REALLY HAVE A CHOICE?

There is a new site promoting Sarah Palin, Palin for VP. I hope all of our work is not in vain. I’ve been on the Palin bandwagon since Stephen Maloney contacted me about a year ago. She is the logical choice for VP.

We all know where this is heading for 2012. I think she will be a logical front runner. Okay, my dream is a contest between Palin and Hillary. Could you see all the squirming from the male members of the peanut gallery? What about 2008?

Once Again Hard-Line Immigration Reform Is A Loser

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:42:47 -0600

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Please pardon me while I gloat a bit. Racist Buddy Witherspoon, went down in flames this evening in his challenge to unseat Lindsey. Unfortunately, people don’t understand how well Lindsey is liked in South Carolina. While a few sore-heads complain about his immigration stance, they don’t speak for the rank and file Republican in SC.
From The State:

“…It was a vindication compared to his reception a year ago at the state GOP convention, when the crowd booed and shouted "No" at Graham's explanations of the immigration bill. He became the butt of criticism ...

Libs Try to Smear McCain via Campaign Blog

“…McCain's Web site talks about the anti-Christ being 'a Jew,' Hillary being a 'bitch,' Obama being a 'Muslim fag,' and America bringing 9/11 on itself…”

John Aravosis of AmericaBlog says the above. Give me a break, we all know good and well that comments people make are not the same as the official position of a web site, or a newspaper, or a magazine. Any THINKING person knows this. The problem is we are dealing with Barack worshiping liberals, so let's also be honest in expecting reason and thought.

McCain, the Liquor Lobby, & Barack’s Anti-Semitic Friends

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:47:56 -0600

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

They’ve found some disgusting anti-Semitism on Obama’s official site that has been officially removed. Same old same old if you ask me. Fortunately cooler heads did a few screen shots so I don’t think they can wriggle out of this. Bill Stevenson has a good posting about the GOP’s efforts to create an energy bill, which was naturally squelshed by the Dems. Jim Fryar tells us that Clint Eastwood is supporting Big Mac!
