The Phantom of the Oprah
Jan 21, 2008 Political
Oprah Winfrey has been very vocal in her support for B. Hussein Obama. In her first venture into the political scene, Winfrey campaigned for Obama at several events and he is the only candidate that has appeared on her show. Winfrey has been paying a bit of a price for her support of Obama and has been labeled a traitor by women who think she should be supporting Hillary Clinton.
This kind of thinking is very dangerous for the political scene because it places emphasis on a physical characteristic rather than on policy issues and qualification for the job. Winfrey is in a particularly difficult position because if she supports Clinton she will be labeled a traitor by the blacks who support Obama. Race and sex are not supposed to play into the selection process and picking a candidate based solely upon those, or any other characteristics, is a silly way to select leaders. Imagine what kind of uproar there would be if famous male supporters of Hillary were labeled traitors by other men who think a male should be president or if whites were labeled traitors for their support of Obama.
Think of how ridiculous it would be if the supporters of other candidates did the same thing. The elderly and Vietnam vets would label other elderly or VN vets who do not support McCain as traitors. Balding men would label as traitors those who do not support Thompson, evangelicals label other evangelicals as traitors for not supporting Huckabee, trial lawyers would label other trial lawyers as traitors for not supporting Edwards, those who have been divorced several times would labels others with that history as traitors for not supporting Giuliani and successful businessmen would label other successful businessmen as traitors for not supporting Romney.
Ron Paul supporters already label anyone who does not support Paul as a traitor.
These examples are just as ridiculous as concentrating on the fact that Obama is black or Hillary is a woman. Of course these are barriers that have never been broken but electing someone just to break that “glass ceiling” (as Hillary calls it) is not the correct way to select leaders. If one is a liberal there are many reasons to vote for Clinton or Obama and if one is a Conservative there are plenty of reasons not to vote for either of them. The color or sex of the candidates does not fit into this equation.
In order to see how invalid the idea of support based upon color or sex is one only needs to ask the question; is it OK to oppose Clinton because she is a woman or Obama because he is black? Would a person who said that he will not vote for Clinton solely because she is a woman be labeled a sexist and would a person who says that he would not vote for Obama solely because he is black be labeled a racist? If the answer is yes (and we know the answer is yes) then support based upon those two items is just as wrong.
This country is ready for a woman president and it is ready for a black president and there are plenty of both who would do a great job. These two just are not the ones.
Hillary’s Next Tactic, Victim of Her Man
Jan 20, 2008 Political
We have seen the tearful Hillary as she panders for votes while duping the less informed but what will be her next make over? I believe the answer lies in a recent article at AFP where It discusses Hillary’s anguish ten years after the Lewinsky affair. Hillary had differing emotions but never doubted that Bill loved her even though he was putting little Billy in someone else’s double-wide. Hillary was upset, (even though she knew well before she said she did) but it was not about Bill catting around as much as it was the prospect of them losing power.
This anguish she still experiences is designed to play out in the south where she can say she stood by her man. Women in the south have not warmed up to Hillary as much as the liberal elitists in the north and the older women who want to see a woman president before they die. The south is full of patriotic people who love God (and not just when it is convenient) and it might be tougher to convince women there that Hillary is just one of the gals.
However, she will try to garner sympathy as a wronged woman hoping that it will strike a chord among the women of the south. If that does not work she still has the covert racism that comes from her campaign and she can use that to stir up race in the south. She will also continue to release items about Obama just before elections to cast doubt upon him.
If that all fails she has Bill at each event getting red in the face and holding court among the peeps screaming and hollering while wagging that stubby little finger of his. He will accuse, he will lie, and he will do anything to cast doubt on Obama and get his wife in the White House. As poorly as he has looked lately he might not last through 50 states if he has to wag fingers and get all worked up.
It would be just like that schmuck to drop dead while campaigning for her just to get sympathy. Of course, he is just as likely to die in the company of a hooker…

ILLEGALS Kill Border Guard
Jan 20, 2008 Immigration, Political
Those of us who believe in the rule of law want the borders of this country, particularly the southern border, closed down so that ILLEGALS cannot sneak across. People like Ted Kennedy and John McCain (and every Democrat) like to characterize these people as honest and hard working. I have no doubt they are hard working people (I doubt they only do jobs Americans won’t) but they are not HONEST. When a person breaks the law by crossing our border ILLEGALLY and then lives here under false pretenses then that is anything but honesty. This is criminal behavior and our government has sanctioned it for decades. The people in our Congress have turned a blind eye to border patrol agents who were thrown in jail for doing their duties, agents who received more time in jail for protecting us than any of the ILLEGALS get for invading us.
Now we have word that a border patrol agent in California was run over by a vehicle that he tried to stop after it entered this country ILLEGALLY. The area where this took place is popular among off road enthusiasts as well as drug runners entering the US ILLEGALLY. Our government is responsible for the death of this agent. The failure of the President and the Congress to secure our borders has allowed a vehicle to enter ILLEGALLY and run over an agent.
The way our government treats these things it might be a blessing that the agent died. If he had lived the government would have locked him up for a decade because he bothered an honest, hard working invader.

E J Pipkin Deceives in Campaign Mailer
Jan 19, 2008 Political
Maryland Senator E. J. Pipkin is running for the 1st Congressional Seat in Maryland. Pipkin has been a state Senator for a while and he has run for the US Senate several times once and I voted for him. He decided to jump into the race against Congressman Wayne Gilchrest relatively late in the game after seeing that Gilchrest was vulnerable and getting a fight from State Senator Andy Harris. Competition is good so it was good to see choices for a change. Gilchrest is liberal, Pipkin is more Conservative and Harris is the most Conservative. I put my support behind Harris long before Pipkin got in but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. I can now say that E J Pipkin will NOT get my support and he will not get my vote. If he or Gilchrest win the primary then I will vote for the Democrat in the general election.
Pipkin has been sending out mailers. I received them, looked and recycled. He has been running commercials that accuse Andy Harris of voting to give Illegals in state tuition. His latest mailer states that it is time for change and in it he takes the Maryland Governor, Gilchrest and Harris to task as soft on Illegals while Pipkin will be the knight in shining armor to save us. Pipkin’s mailer states that Harris voted yes for HB 253 on 3 April 2003 which reportedly gave illegals in state tuition. Yes, Andy Harris voted for that bill. The web site indicates he voted for the bill with amendments. Those amendments give the tuition rights to members of the military and added language to exclude illegal aliens. The amendments excluding illegals were not adopted and the FINAL reading of the bill, HB 253 was on 5 April 2003. Andy Harris voted NO on that bill, the same vote that Pipkin registered.
This is important because it shows that Pipkin is deliberately misleading people and making them believe that his opponent voted in a fashion that he did not. In Maryland a bill must get three readings and it is not final until then. On the third reading of this bill Harris voted no. If the bill had the language excluding illegals then Harris probably would have voted for it because it contained language to provide a benefit for our troops (probably a ploy to get it passed). In any event, this is not a “Real Change” as Pipkin states we need. Politicians lie and distort their opponents records all the time. Politicians claim more than credit than they actually deserve and politicians grand stand all the time. Pipkin did all three of these so how is this Real Change?
Pipkin’s website states that he sponsored a two pronged approach to take on illegal immigration during the special session. That special session was called to address a budget problem and the bill Pipkin introduced had no action taken on it. The same is true of his bill to establish how much illegal immigration costs. Both bills are touted as some great thing but there was no follow up and they were not acted upon.
There is one thing that is undeniable. Pipkin voted for Governor O’Malley’s inflated budget in 2007 and Harris voted against it. E J Pipkin voted with the Democrats for an overinflated budget all the while calling himself a Conservative. Andy Harris voted against that budget, you figure out who deserves the vote.
Pipkin talks about supporting the troops and being Conservative but Andy Harris is one of the troops. He is a physician and serves in the Naval Reserve and served During Desert Storm. Harris understands what it means to fight the war on terror and he understands what it means to be Conservative.
Pipkin and Gilchrest do not match up…
If you live in Maryland’s First and you want real change, not Pipkin’s definition of change, then vote for Andy Harris.

Rule Number 1; Bill Clinton Lies
Jan 19, 2008 Political
Rule Number 2, If you ever start to believe him refer to Rule Number 1.
Bill Clinton is in Nevada fresh off his defense of a lawsuit designed to disenfranchise voters and the Clinton campaign attempts to screw the union workers of the union that endorsed her opponent, B. Hussein Obama. Today is caucus day and lo and behold Bill Clinton has witnessed voter suppression first hand. He even has Chelsea to back him up because no one would want to call Web Hubbell’s daughter a liar. Here is what Clinton alleges [from The Politico]:
There is this whole business of the new politics. Well I got a taste of the new politics today. We need a new politics where we all love each other. You’ve heard all that. There’s a radio ad up in the northern part of Nevada telling Republicans that they ought to just register as Democrats for a day so they can beat Hillary and go out and be Republicans next week and vote in the primary. Doesn’t sound like the new politics to me.
Today when my daughter and I were wandering through the hotel, and all these culinary workers were mobbing us telling us they didn’t care what the union told them to do, they were gonna caucus for Hillary.
There was a representative of the organization following along behind us going up to everybody who said that, saying ‘if you’re not gonna vote for our guy were gonna give you a schedule tomorrow so you can’t be there.’ So, is this the new politics? I haven’t seen anything like that in America in 35 years. So I will say it again – they think they’re better than you.
OK, let me be the one to say it, this is BS. Clinton did not witness any such thing and he is lying to try to show there are voter problems so it can cast doubt should Hillary lose. Bill is lying. No, I was not there but he is lying. He would have us believe that a union representative is so stupid that he would say such a thing in Clinton’s presence knowing that Clinton is looking for any reason to cry foul. Bill would have us believe that a union is forcing its employees to all vote for one person or they will be punished despite the fact that the employees can just ask for the day off. Bill would also have us believe that there was a huge crowd of people saying they would defy the union. If the union is as Bill describes it, why would the employees say anything? Wouldn’t they just be quiet and vote how they wished?
Clinton is a pathological liar and he is lying about this whole episode. What amazes me is that he is taking the leadership of a union to task based solely on the fact that it did not endorse Hillary. If they had endorsed Hillary, Bill Clinton would not have personally “witnessed” any of this. He is making it up now to make the union leadership appear to be goons. I wonder why he would do this after all the years that the unions supported him and his wife as well as the rest of the Democrats. Why is Bill now indicating that union leadership is nothing more than a bunch of thugs? He has not called the leaders of the unions that back Hillary thugs and for that matter, neither has Senator Obama. Obama has not called any of the union workers or leadership names or accused them of wrong doing regardless of whom they have endorsed. The Clinton campaign, particularly Bill, is the only entity to cast the unions in a bad light.
This is what happens when you do not play ball the Clinton way. You cross this crime family and they have it out for you. You don’t endorse them or if you disagree with them they are ready to chew you up and spit you out. They are a well oiled mean machine that knows how to use the politics of destruction against anyone who does not march in lock-step to the Clinton cadence. This is why there are so many people who speak on the condition of anonymity when they discuss Hillary. These people are afraid of repercussions from the Clinton Crime Family with Billy the “Don” in the lead and Queen Hillary “the Destroyer” on the warpath. People in politics know how the Clintons can destroy a career and how they can cast doubts about anything anyone does.
Bill Clinton is a liar. I would be happy to inform him of this to his face and let him know that I call BS on him and his lies. Maybe the MSM and the people who are in a love fest with these idiots will not do it but I have no problem. Bill Clinton is a confirmed liar who has proven he will say and do anything to win and to stay out of trouble. He lied to the nation and he lied under oath. He has made a lifelong habit of lying and he cannot be trusted.
Bill, you are a liar. Hillary is Satan.
ADDENDUM: This should pretty much shut the mouths of the idiots at Kos who say Republicans always cry about voter fraud. Bill Clinton is crying about it FROM HIS OWN PARTY.
One other question, how would Bill feel if the union bosses refused to let workers vote in the Republican Caucus?
