Obama’s 527 Ad, Lil Alex
Jun 24, 2008 Political
MoveOn.org, one of those 527 groups Obambi swears is going to play dirty with regard to his funny name, color and inexperience (the only concern of the three) has put out an ad but that ad is disparaging to John McCain. I guess Obamaessiah forgot to tell MoveOn that it was the right who would be doing the hit jobs.
In the ad a mother is holding a baby and she states:
“Hi, John McCain. This is Alex. And he’s my first. So far his talents include trying any new food and chasing after our dog. That, and making my heart pound every time I look at him. And so, John McCain, when you say you would stay in Iraq for 100 years, were you counting on Alex? Because if you were, you can’t have him.”
Bill Kristol already pointed out the obvious like McCain will not be in office when the kid is old enough to serve, that our military is an all volunteer force and that McCain never said we would be fighting in Iraq for 100 years. That matters little to the idiots who produced the ad and the saps who will slobber all over it. I decided that I should add a few lines here and there to make this more accurate.
How about if it started off with “Hi John McCain, this is Alex. He is my first to be born because I aborted the others. They were a nuisance.”
I wonder if the ending would be better if it was; “Were you counting on Alex? Because if you were, you can’t have him. I don’t mind murdering my children in the womb but I will not let them die defending the country that gave us so much.”
Or maybe, “”Were you counting on Alex? Because if you were, you can’t have him. I raised him to have a sense of entitlement and he knows that he does not need to defend America because she is a capitalist country that deserves to be defeated. I want my little boy to grow up just like my hero Bill Clinton in that I want Alex to shun military service so some other kid can get sent in his place. My boy is not going to give back to this country, that is what the uneducated do, just ask John Kerry.”
Maybe she could just end by saying she is going to raise him to be a homosexual so he understands diversity and knows the love of a good man, something his mother never knew because those pregnancies and abortion costs got in the way. “You can’t have him because he is a flamer and does not believe in don’t ask, don’t tell. Besides, all that hard work will break his nails.”
Here is my response to the ad. Look lady, we don’t need your kid. If you want to raise him to be ashamed of his country and not to take responsibility for the safety and well being of this great nation you are entitled to do just that. He will not have to enlist and there is no draft so unless you know something the rest of us don’t why don’t you shut your pie hole. Don’t worry about your son’s safety, better men than he will ever be will stand watch to ensure the wolves don’t get in. Men he will wish he could be will do harm on a moment’s notice to ensure your little child is protected and makes it to adulthood. On the off chance he decides to join the service don’t worry about him. He made it out of a liberal’s womb which is the most dangerous place in the world for a child. Over 40 million of them never made it out alive so he got the hard part out of the way.
The people who agree with this ad are the ones who live their lives under the blanket of freedom and safety provided by our military. They will never truly understand freedom because they have no appreciation for our country. To those who fight for it ever day, life has a special meaning the protected (like lil Alex) will never understand [author of quote unknown].
Only in America could a foreign schmuck like George Soros gain so much wealth and then use it against our country only to be hailed by the left as a wonderful guy.
*The 527 does not belong to Obama. It is working for his victory so the ad is for Obama.
Obama Cops Out on Public Financing
Jun 19, 2008 Political
Today Barack Obama released a video on his campaign website informing his supporters that he is opting out of public financing and that the reason is because it is a “broke system.” Don’t pay any attention to that crap because it is an outright lie. Barack Hussein Obama is opting out because he does not want to be limited by how much he can take in. He is amassing huge quantities of money and he would not be able to accept any more of it after the Democratic Convention. That is the ONLY reason he is opting out.
Sure, he gave the boiler plate excuse of a broken system that is effectively gamed by his opponents but that is a ruse to take away the perception that he is the same old money grubbing politician as all the others that he criticizes. Obama had earlier stated that he would be happy to come to an agreement with the Republicans on public financing and at that time he never indicated that the system was broken. He is telling supporters that the Republicans have lobbyist money and all the 527 groups to pay their way and attack for them. The reality is, Obama has the 527s and George Soros is one of the biggest contributers. Obama has the support of MoveOn.org an organization that is paying for and running attack ads against John McCain. Notice that Obama never mentioned all the support he gets.
It is also important to note that Obambi did not get all his money from Joe Six Pack giving $5 and $10. Obama accepts special interest money and he accepts from lobbyists and PACs. He just does it in a more clandestine fashion. You see, he will take the money from family members of those people. It does not take a genius to figure that it is all the same money and that he WILL owe political favors. Obama has received more money than any of the other candidates (current and past) from the pharmaceutical industry. Make no mistake about it, Obama is as smarmy as the rest of them despite his claims to the contrary.
As I stated, Barack Hussein Obama is swearing off public financing because he wants to keep raking in the big bucks. Of course, John McCain has gamed the system as well and the sweet irony is that his landmark legislation on campaign finance reform seems to be biting him in the rear.
Neither of these men wants to accept public financing. The first reason is it will limit them to what they may take in. The second is, they do not want an election of the people. The idea behind public finance is:
The program is designed to rein in out-of-control spending by the presidential campaigns, provide candidates with enough funds to run a viable campaign and minimize the leverage special-interest money has in the process of electing a candidate to country’s highest office. Common Cause
You don’t actually think these two, or any of them for that matter, actually want this now do you? They want special interests involved and they want to become wealthy in the process.
Barack Hussein Obama can claim he is a fresh change, a new kind of politician, or the cure for what ails us but he is really nothing more than a lowlife Chicago politician who is smarmy and as slick as Clinton.
The system is now broken when he made no mention of that before. I guess what Obama is saying is; “This is not the public financing I knew.”
UPDATE: I got a follow email from his campaign extolling the virtues of Obama’s decision:
Even though we stood to receive more than $80 million in taxpayer funding for our campaign, the system has been so gamed and exploited by our opponents that it is effectively broken.
This is a half truth. Obama could have gotten 80 million dollars in taxpayer money but only if he did not accept any more donations after the convention. That bit of information is missing. The email also informs us that McCain has 527 support without mentioning the 527s heavily supporting Obama. And of course, this is all topped off with a request for money. Make no mistake, this is a ploy. Obama did what is best for him. The system is not broken, it just does not work in his favor, which I guess is the Democrat’s idea of broken…
UPDATE 2: The Washington Post, of all papers, is criticizing Obama and calling him on his reason for not accepting public financing:
Mr. Obama had an opportunity here to demonstrate that he really is a different kind of politician, willing to put principles and the promises he has made above political calculation. He made a different choice, and anyone can understand why: He’s going to raise a ton of money. Mr. McCain played games with taking federal matching funds for the primaries until it turned out he didn’t need them, and he had a four-month head start in the general election while Mr. Obama was still battling for the nomination. Outside groups are going to come after him. He has thousands of small donors along with his big bundlers. And so on.
Fine. Politicians do what politicians need to do. But they ought to spare us the self-congratulatory back-patting while they’re doing it.

Reid Him The Riot Act, Congress Attacks Limbaugh
Oct 1, 2007 Military
Part of the problem with conservative talk radio is that it is popular and a lot of people listen to it. That is a problem if you are a liberal who wants to hide the truth from the public because conservative talk radio is there to pounce on the liberals when they are offensive to America, and that is just about all the time. Liberals hate conservative talk because they do not have their own following with regard to liberal talk radio. Very few liberal hosts exist and those that do have a fraction of the audience of someone like Rush Limbaugh.
Last week Rush was discussing the troops and when a caller said something about parading the troops against the war Rush mentioned phony soldiers. He then proceeded to discuss what he meant by referring to Jesse MacBeth, a person who did not make it through basic training but claimed to be a war vet. There are others but this is the one Limbaugh was referring to and anyone with a brain completely understood what he was talking about, and therein lies the problem. Liberals do not have a brain.
The Liberals jumped on Rush’s comments but took them completely out of context and ignored the fact that he was referring to a phony soldier. This is the “soldier” that ABC did a piece on and it is a fact that the guy is a phony. The liberals and their puppet masters at MoveOn.org (I will not link to them) took a stinging backlash for the smear job done to General Petraeus and this is their chance to try and make things even. It is also part of their plot to silence the conservative hosts before the next election because the voice of talk radio exposes the liberals and this does not bode well for their plans.
Today, Harry Reid introduced a letter he wrote to the president of Clear Channel Communications demanding that Limbaugh apologize for his remarks about the troops. Reid displayed feigned indignation at Limbaugh’s remarks even though Reid would have to know by now that the remarks are not what he is making them to be. It is especially disturbing that Reid would be the one to introduce the letter. Reid has done nothing but bash our troops and he declared the war as lost. He has never supported the troops and this stunt is nothing more than an attempt to turn the tide of negativity that the Democrats have faced and that intensified with the MoveOn ad. Democrats know that they cannot win an intellectual battle and that their ideas are bad for America so they must attack anyone who stands in their way and who has become a thorn in their sides. Rush Limbaugh is a thorn the size of a railroad spike and he has pierced the hearts of many liberals by exposing them for the anti-American idiots that they are. This is nothing more than a smear campaign designed to silence a very vocal critic. It will not work.
Rush issued an apology today but it is not what Reid would like:
I want to apologize to all of the members of the United States Military, both in uniform and out, active duty and retired, for Media Matters for America. They will not apologize to you, and they will not apologize to me. I want to apologize to you on behalf of them. As all of you military personnel know, I, since of beginning of time and since the beginning of this program, certainly 19 years ago, have been one of the most ardent, loyal, in-awe supporters of any and all who wear the uniform — including those who disagree with the mission. Rush Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh is respected by the military and most in uniform appreciate all that he has done for the troops. He raises millions of dollars and he gives free subscriptions to them. He is always praising them and he has been a supporter for as long as I can remember. I happened across my first Limbaugh program sometime in the 80s and he was discussing a visit he had with some troops. He was discussing how hot it was and how he was sweating but the Sergeant Major with whom he was speaking had not broken a sweat, despite the temperature. Rush had nothing but praise for the men and women with whom he spoke and who he watched in training. That day, I became a Rush Limbaugh fan and people like Harry Reid will not be able to convince me that I am wrong about this man.
The Democrats have started this and it will backfire. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa took the floor and said that maybe Rush was high on drugs again, referring to Limbaugh’s past battle with pain medicine addiction. Have we ever heard Harkin say that Kennedy is probably drunk again when ole Teddy babbles on incoherently? No and we will not because the Democrats ignore their behavior and attack those with whom they disagree. Explain to me why it is that a guy like Patrick Kennedy can have a problem and seek treatment and he is a hell of a guy but Limbaugh seeks, and successfully completes, treatment and he is always referred to as being on drugs? It is a personal attack and it is low and someone should punch Harkin right in his mouth. I have no use for Harkin or Reid or any other Democrat and if anyone should be apologizing it is these twits. Reid is a festering pustule on the butt of America and he suffers brain damage from his stroke. It killed one of the two cells he actually has. Harkin is a pantie waisted twit who could not lead a group of people out of a burning building. Together these two do not have enough manhood to stand up for what they have to say and what they believe. Rush challenged them to quit hiding behind the speech and debate clause and the Senate microphones and to come on his show where they can have it out man to, well, twit. I am willing to bet that neither of these twits will accept that offer because they do not have the guts to back up what they say. They do not have the testicular fortitude to be men and stand by their words. They will run and hide like cockroaches suddenly caught in a light.
I stand by Limbaugh and what he said. As a 24 year veteran of the Army I do not have a problem with what he said about phony soldiers and I do not need any damned Democrat to act as if he speaks for me. Reid showed me what kind of a coward he is and I would not spend one moment fighting next to him. I would tie him up and give him to the enemy though I would be arrested for violating some law about torture. The liberals have their panties in a wad and want Limbaugh pulled from Armed Forces Radio. Why don’t we let the troops decide who they would like to listen to?
Reid said that he hoped that Republicans would sign his letter. I demand that they do not. I demand that they have some principles and censure Reid for his stupidity. I demand that this House Resolution be what Republicans sign on to.
Rush Limbaugh exposes the left for the intolerant idiots they are.
Interestingly, a commenter named Lefty at Think Progress wrote (with regard to this fuss):
I think I’m going to go around town b!tchslapping any Republican I see and call it “enchanced [sic] manhood challengesâ€.
Lefty, please pick me to be your first subject. You might reach over with your full arm but you will certainly draw back a bloody nub. If you would like to see manhood, slap some of the Republicans I know. There will not be enough of you left to get a DNA identification. If you want to discuss manhood, perhaps you could contact Harkin or Reid and ask them why they do not go on Rush’s show. Lefty is a liberal idiot who would get beat up shadow boxing.
Folks, this is an all out smear campaign. Murtha did it to the Marines and Reid and his maggots are doing it to Limbaugh. Let us all call Harry Reid (202-224-3542) and Tom Harkin (202-224-3254) and let them know what we think.
Harry Reid, keep this in mind you little snot rag. Rush Limbaugh has the number one syndicated show in the country. Congress has an 11% approval rating. No matter how bad you might think Rush is, you are much, much worse and I am willing to bet more people believe and trust what he has to say than do you…
