Caroline Kennedy Is Now Pandering
Dec 27, 2008 Political
Caroline Kennedy is now about a week into her “hey I’m entitled, pick me” tour and she has begun to take a little heat. She has appeared as standoffish, has refused to answer anything more than basic questions, and has refused to release financial information. She has been beaten on by people who think she has no experience and seeks the job out of a sense of entitlement.
To be fair, Hillary has yet to resign and Paterson has not narrowed the list down so why should Kennedy have to release financial information? As for questions, I know the seat is not yet open but if she is going to make this trek across New York then she should be prepared to answer them.
Taken back by the assault on her desire for the seat as nothing more than entitlement Kennedy lashed back with the pander of all panders. Two things moved her to serve. They were 9/11 and working on the campaign of Barack Obama, the Halfrican from parts unknown.
She has used the 9/11 mantra of the right and the reference to the Sainted on of the left in order to appease everyone. She is absolutely pathetic.
Let’s look at this. If 9/11 moved her to serve in office, why did she wait so long? 9/11 happened over 7 years ago and there have been several elected offices contested since that time. If Kennedy were really moved to serve by 9/11, wouldn’t she have moved a little faster? Perhaps she handled this with same diligence she handled voting. She had it pointed out to her that she has voted half the time since 2008 and she was glad to have it brought to her attention.
How dingy does one have to be to not know? Why did someone have to point it out to her? I guess she is as motivated to serve as she is to vote…
Geez, and people call George Bush and Sarah Palin stupid. Imagine if Palin has failed to vote in half the elections or if she said she was moved to serve because of 9/11. Things are always different for a princess and Kennedy is a princess from Camelot.
If this is how Kennedy handles things then she needs another line of work. I realize the Senate moves at a glacial pace but Kennedy takes the cake for slow.
As for working on the campaign of Obama, well that is nothing more than a reminder to all the liberal twits and white guilt morons who elected this unknown quantity to the highest office in the land. Obama is a hot commodity and Kennedy wants to remind people that she was one of the ones who got on board, along with uncle Teddy, the Obama train early. It was a Kennedy who help elevate a black man and now she wants to serve him and the people of New York to complete God’s work that was started by her father oh so many years ago.
This dingbat needs to go back to whatever it was she was doing and stay out of politics.
Fortunately, some Democrats are not thrilled with her so maybe a qualified person will be selected. My bet is on Andrew Cuomo. That way Paterson does not have to worry about him as an opponent in the next governor’s race. Kennedy would not prove much of a threat so there is no need to get rid of her.

Obama Would Aid and Abet Terrorists
Oct 18, 2008 Political
The McCain campaign has backed off the William Ayers attacks because the issue gets little ground or attention. Senator Obama has the entire media to protect him and keep him from being vetted or from having to answer tough questions that go to the heart of his honesty and judgment. We actually know more about Joe the Plumber from Ohio in the week since he asked Obama a question than we do about Obama who has been running for nearly two years. One thing the media and Obama cannot deny and that is his ideas would help terrorists intent on attacking this country. Obama is dangerous and his concerns for illegals could allow us to be attacked again:
Who is he looking out for? Is he truly concerned about the middle class in America (obviously not the way he attacked Joe the Plumber for daring to ask a question) or is he concerned with helping illegals?
Driver’s licenses for illegals would allow them to vote (they would automatically be registered under motor voter laws that Obama fought for), they would be able to drive on our streets and apply for taxpayer funded benefits. All this because Obama would allow them to have a license.
Those terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 had driver’s licenses issued in states in our union and they were registered to vote (without the help of Obama’s group Acorn).
Anyone who would give illegals driver’s licenses and allow them to pilfer from taxpayers is not putting the country first.
Obama is not ready to lead.

Gore Still Holds Grudge for 2000, Finally Endorses Obama
Jun 17, 2008 Political
The prophet of the United Church of Manmade Globull Warming, Al Gore, finally endorsed Barry Obama for president. This is not surprising given that Hillary Clinton is all but done and most others are falling behind the Obamessiah. The question is, why did he wait so long?
During his endorsement speech (why did he have to give a speech) Gore told the doting mob of Kool Aid drinkers that they should take it from him “elections matter.” This is his way of saying that if he had been elected in 2000 things would be different than they are today. I have no doubt about that but Gore means they would be better:
“After eight years of incompetence, neglect and failure, we need change,” Gore said. “After eight years when our Constitution has been dishonored and disrespected, we need changes.” My Way News
Gore still cannot get over the fact that he lost, yes lost, in 2000. Every recount shows he lost and yet he is unable to come to terms with that. I know he likes to talk badly about the president but Gore should think back to when he and Clinton were in office and the abuses that they were involved in before casting stones. The Constitution is abused by those who somehow find the word abortion or health care in the document. No where in the Constitution does it say Congress shall fund health care for all people (or even some of them). No where does it say that murdering unborn children is allowed. It does say the president is the commander in chief of the armed forces and that Congress will fund the army and navy.
It is easy for Al Gore to say that things would have been different if he had been elected. However, there is no way of knowing how he would have reacted to the events of 9/11. If he used what was done while he was VP he would have treated it like a criminal act, lobbed a few missiles and called it a day. Bin Laden and the terrorists kept attacking us because they wanted a response. 9/11 was so catastrophic that, with a Republican in the White House, they got one. Gore might have done little, thus further inviting increased attacks. He might have handled it heroically and in the best interests of the nation but, like him, I have no real way of knowing. I only have a past to look at for clues.
Obama got his big endorsement and he is all fired up, ready to bring about change and hope and hope and change. He is ready to tax the hell out of everyone and to abuse the Constitution that Al says has been dishonored and disrespected by imposing universal health care.
Al Gore endorsing Obama was no surprise. He has had it in for the Clintons since he lost in 2000 (yes he LOST). Al waited to be the last of the big names in order to stroke his overinflated ego.
I will be impressed the day Bill Clinton walks out on stage and endorses Obama.
Ghost Whispers; MA Dems Speak for the Dead
Oct 12, 2007 Uncategorized
There is an election next Tuesday to fill a vacant US Congressional seat in the state of Massachusetts and the Democrats have sunk to a new low, if you can believe they could get lower, by invoking the name of the Republican candidate’s dead brother. Here are the players in this story:
- Jim Ogonowski – Republican candidate for the vacant seat
- Niki Tsongas – Democratic candidate for the vacant seat
- John Ogonowski – Deceased brother of Republican candidate. John was a pilot of an airplane that was hijacked on 9/11 and he was killed when the terrorists who hijacked it, crashed it.
- Peg Ogonowski – Spouse of deceased pilot John
- Chester G. Atkins – Former Congressman who held the contended seat until he was defeated in 1992. Now has a public affairs firm
Jim is running for an open seat in Congress and he is very much against ILLEGAL immigration. He does not believe that ILLEGALS should receive amnesty and he believes that immigrants should have to learn English. His opponent, Niki, has a very opposite view on ILLEGAL immigration, much closer to the Ted Kennedy school which is why we have had two amnesties and now have millions of ILLEGALS here. Interestingly, immigration was the issue that cost Atkins the seat, oh so long ago. Atkins was an advocate for Cambodians coming here and settling in the Merrimack Valley district. John had no problem with the Cambodians because they came here LEGALLY. He allowed them to farm a portion of his property to grow specialty crops, stuff used in the Asian community. Atkins lost because of his support of the Cambodians.
Fast forward to today and Atkins, who supports Niki, is saying that Jim’s dead brother John would side with Tsongas on the immigration issue and that he had a better understanding than Jim does. Jim states that this is ridiculous because the Cambodians came here legally and the immigrants that Jim is against are all the ILLEGAL ones. Like many Americans, Jim does not like the way ILLEGALS come here, use services, get Social Security, take jobs, crowd emergency rooms and speak their native language and expect us to do the same. Jim does not agree with ILLEGAL immigration.
I cannot imagine that the people of this area of Massachusetts would vote for Tsongas and support allowing ILLEGALS free reign. These folks put Atkins out of office for supporting LEGAL immigrants so I find it very hard to imagine that they would support someone who is siding with the ILLEGAL ones. I know this is Massachusetts but even as liberal as they are, they have to be able to see the difference and which candidate supports our laws and which one does not. The problem is that the Liberals always neglect to discuss the ILLEGAL part. They always say that we are against immigrants (just before they call us racists) when none of us are against immigration, we are against ILLEGAL law breakers who sneak in like thieves.
Back to John and Atkins’ claim that John would have supported the ILLEGALS and was better than Jim, who Atkins calls a racist for his views. Just to clear it up, Mexican is not a race, it is a nationality. It is an old trick from the left’s play book to call the race card. No matter what the issue, they will find a way to call a Republican a racist regardless of the circumstances. Let me make this clear for Atkins and any other idiot who was educated in the public school system, Expecting people to obey the law, expecting the government to enforce the law, and refusing to reward those who break the law are not racist acts. If a black man robs a bank and his white neighbor saw it and calls the police and a white cop arrests him, the white guys are not racists. They simply respected the rule of law, something the left finds increasingly difficult. However, invoking the name of a dead man who cannot attest to the veracity of the claims made by Atkins is just wrong. It is also plain wrong to bring up his name and put the family through this.
To her credit, Peg called this politics at its worst and she was right. The Democrats in this situation chose to use a hero from 9/11 to score points with voters. If this is not bad enough, the dead hero is the Republican candidate’s brother. They are trying to convince voters that even Jim’s brother would be on their side. As Jim points out, it is ridiculous. He states that it is ridiculous for the Atkins to make like he would know John better than his family and, as Jim indicates, he would not likely support ILLEGALS especially since many of the 9/11 hijackers were here ILLEGALLY. Peg and Jim both question whether Atkins actually knew John. Neither remember him ever mentioning Atkins and since John is dead it would not be beyond a Democrat to do pretend he knew him just to score political points.
I hope the voters of Massachusetts will see through all of this and will elect Jim Ogonowski and his tough stance on ILLEGAL immigration. I hope that they will not only reject Tsongas for the support of ILLEGALS but also for the lowness to which the Democrats have sunk in this race.
One last thing. Ever notice how when President Bush mentions 9/11 the left goes nuts. They claim he is using scare tactics and is using 9/11 to stir emotions. They tell us that it happened 6 years ago and we need to move on, let it go, blah, blah. Interesting how they will invoke the memory of someone killed on 9/11 if they think it will further their quest for power.
I also think it is worth noting that it is possible that John would support the Democrats. It would not be the first time in history that dead people supported Democrats though usually they show their support by voting for them on election day…
If you live in the 5th District in Massachusetts and you want to honor the memory of John, vote for his brother Jim next Tuesday.
