Another Hillary Fabrication?
Oct 23, 2007 Political
Not to obfuscate any issues but it is well documented to people willing to open their eyes that Hillary Clinton has trouble telling the truth. She lied about when she knew about Bill and Monica, she lied about how she got the name Hillary and there are countless other lies that she has told as well documented in the numerous books about her. Hillary was addressing the fact that Obama and Edwards are pouring in on Iowa because she is running close there her dig at them was they have failed to break through nationally). She said this about the piling on:
She laughs: “I am well aware this is ‘pile on.’ I used to play touch football with my brothers and my friends, and I am on the bottom and they are piling on, and I’m thinking how am I going to get out of here?” Des Moines Register
Touch football does not involve tackling which is why they call it touch football. It is possible that since she was a girl they tackled her and piled on or that even though they called t touch they tackled however, candidate’s statements are open to much tighter scrutiny than most other people’s especially when they have a history of fabricating stories for political gain.
I imagine this was another of the Hillary trying to appear like a regular person but it falls short. The truth is, she is worried about Iowa because if one of the others wins it will give that campaign a serious boost. Hillary knows that her hubby ignored Iowa and that while the national polls look good for her, the local polls in other places are not as great and she still has a 50% negative rating to overcome. When 50% of the people polled say they will never vote for you is unlikely that you can win especially when you will not get all of the other 50%. She keeps a stiff upper lip but she is worried.
Failure would kill her. Success would kill the country.
But then again, maybe I am just piling on…

Hillary’s Birthday, a Hot Time in California
Oct 22, 2007 Political
Media Mogul David Geffen was once a big time Clinton supporter to the tune of 18 million dollars. In 2005 he stated that Hillary was too polarizing and could not be elected. In February of this year Geffen had some harsh things to say about both Clintons. It would seem that Mr. Geffen is fed up with their games and he has decided to back B. Hussein Obama. Now I will not say that this was a wise choice because, as my friend The Bull points out, Hussein Obama cannot figure out how to render proper respect for our Flag (FWIW Hillary probably learned this when she was raised in a Conservative household).
Geffen is another Liberal but he has a good streak to him and this streak shows the sharp contrast between him and the Hildebeast and is best represented by what took place in the hellish inferno that we call California. Geffen has an inn in Southern California and he has opened it to people who need shelter as well as a bunch of firefighters. He has provided them a place to sleep and is not charging them one red cent.
With the outbreak of fire, Geffen opened the inn to two dozen evacuees for free, as well as to 80 firefighters who slept there in shifts.
“Why be empty? I’d rather it go to good use,” managing director Alan Goldschneider said. “They try to throw down money and their credit cards, but we’re not charging a soul. They’re saving our houses.” al-Reuters
While all of this was going on, while hundreds of thousands of people were affected and losing everything they have and while Liberal medial mogul Geffen was putting up people for free what was Hillary, the compassionate, people person doing? She was at director Rob Reiner’s house celebrating her birthday at a fund raiser the ultra liberal set up in her honor. While people were losing everything, she was raking in a half a million dollars from the liberal elite in Hollywood.
I know there are Hillary supporters who will ask what she was supposed to do and that is a fair question because Hillary did not start the fires and she certainly could not put them out. To Liberals, she is not like George Bush who, in their minds, is able to conjure up a hurricane and then a failure because he cannot swoop in and stop a flood or be there on a moment’s notice to bail out the people who were failed by their liberal state leaders, but I digress. If I were running for the office of President and these same circumstances presented themselves (OK let’s be real, it would have to be a Conservative celebrating my birthday) I would have told everyone that I was flattered that they would come out to support me but that I had a better idea. Instead of donating money to my campaign donate it to the relief efforts for the folks affected by the fire. The I would remind them that while there is a limit on how much they may legally donate to me, there is no limit to how much they could give for that worthy cause.
Then again, that is just me but the whole thing begs the question; Does Hillary care about anyone but herself?
I think it was a no-brainer before and this weekend just made it that much clearer.
I guess Hillary is only compassionate when she is giving away other people’s money for social programs.

Clinton Cat Fight?
Oct 21, 2007 Political
Will Hillary have to defend her extreme makeover to a softer image now that it has been reported that she gave away Socks the cat when she left the White House? The report is that Hillary got Socks to soften her image and make her look like a good mom while she was in the White House. When she and Bill left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue it seems the only thing they did not take with them was Socks who they gave to Betty Currie. Is this another instance of Hillary using something for political gain and expedience and then discarding it when it no longer served a purpose? Probably not, but who knows.
Perhaps the Clintons decided that they could not care for a cat with their busy post White House lifestyle. Chelsea was off to college and work and there would not be staff members around to care for it. Given that Bill took Buddy with him one could make the argument that Socks the cat was just a convenient prop that was discarded when no longer needed. Given that Buddy ran in the street and was hit by a vehicle, it might be a blessing for Socks to have been given away.
I believe that Hillary Clinton is cold and calculating and that she does not do anything unless there is a political motive. Getting the cat was probably one of those calculated moves but giving it away might have been nothing more than giving it to someone who liked it and could care for it much better than the Clintons could. Betty Currie was an obvious choice because she had a history of cleaning up Clinton messes.
Socks is better off than Buddy and Hillary can always borrow the cat or get a new one should she feel the need to express her softer side.
Of course, if she wants to look soft she should get a porcupine. Even Hillary would look soft next to one of those.

Jindal Wins One for the Good Guys
Oct 21, 2007 Political
Bobby Jindal was elected as Governor of Louisiana and will succeed Kathleen Blanco who decided not to seek reelection after she was widely blamed for the state’s slow response to Katrina. Jindal is 36 years old and becomes the nation’s youngest governor as well as the first non-white male to be elected as Louisiana’s governor since the reconstruction era.
Jindal lost to Blanco in the last election and part of his campaign was based on a “buyer’s remorse” theme. Additionally, Jindal promised to clean up the corruption in Louisiana. This will be no small task a Louisiana politics is loaded with corruption. Two millionaires tried to prevent Jindal from winning. One of them a state senator and the other a businessman. It would be interesting to find out why they spent so much of their own money in an attempt to defeat a guy who vowed to rid the state of corruption.
I believe Bobby Jindal has his work cut out for him but he seems to have his head screwed on tightly and has a plan. I wish him well and I also caution him to watch his back. Deeply rooted corruption knows no bounds when it comes to protecting the crime that helps few flourish while others are victims of mismanagement. One only needs to look at New Orleans to realize that there is a lot to clean up, both as a result of the storm and as a result of the corrupt politics that is embedded in the fiber of the the body politic.
Perhaps his election signals a new path in Louisiana politics. If they can break up the nepotism the good people of Louisiana will be well on the road to success.
Good luck Bobby.

Wayne Gilchrest Must be Voted Out
Oct 20, 2007 Political
Wayne Gilchrest is the Congressman who represents Maryland’s 1st Congressional District. Gilchrest is a Republican but he has been a disgrace to his party and to the voters of his district. I have documented Gilchrest’s poor voting record and the number of liberal issues that he agrees with. It is beyond me why this guy even runs as a Republican when he is pro choice, and is involved in things that are not conservative.
Recently, Wayne Gilchrest voted to override the President’s veto of the huge expansion of S-CHIP. Let us make that clear, the President vetoed a huge expansion of the program. His veto did not get rid of the program and there are still plenty of services out there for poor people. Wayne Gilchrest voted with Democrats to override this veto and in so doing indicated that he feels it is OK to spend taxpayer money on insurance for people who make 3 or 4 times the poverty level. This should surprise no one because Gilchrest is not a fiscally prudent. He spends like a drunken sailor on shore leave and he continues to waste taxpayer money. He even voted against stripping earmarks (PORK) from the FY 2008 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill. To Wayne it is OK to spend our money with little or no regard to being prudent with how it is spent.
Andy Harris is running against Gilchrest in the Republican primary. I have been talking to family and friends in the 1st District and I believe I have a lot of people who are looking for change and are ready to dump Gilchrest and put Andy in Office. If you are in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District you need to take a look at Wayne Gilchrest’s voting record and you will rapidly see this is a record to run from, not on. Andy Harris is the future of our District and we need him to take Conservative leadership to DC and replace that milquetoast RINO Gilchrest.
I have a list of things to accomplish and on it is “send a letter to Wayne Gilchrest after his defeat.” I really want to check that one off after the Republican Primary. I hate to have to go to my fall back plan of voting for the Democrat in the General election but I absolutely will not vote for Gilchrest no matter what. All my readers in the 1st, please vote for Andy Harris.
Wayne, enjoy it now because you will soon be a lame duck.
