John McCain Had His Chance For Honor
Nov 13, 2008 Political
During John McCain’s concession speech he made the statement that he was solely responsible for the loss. This was an honorable statement and showed the character expected of a leader. Leaders accept responsibility for failure and the phrase used by McCain gave the appearance of a true leader. This was in direct contrast with Barack Obama who never accepted responsibility for any of the things that took place during his campaign. Every time there was a problem Obama stated that [fill in name here] was not the same person he knew just before throwing that person under the bus.
The problem with McCain’s statement is that he failed to back up his words. After the loss a lot of blame was placed on Sarah Palin. People who were supposedly aligned with the campaign started telling stories of a diva Palin who could not, or refused, to be coached. The stories started fast and furious and they laid the blame for the loss at her feet.
John McCain was interviewed on the Tonight Show and he was asked about the stories. He could have put them to bed but gave a wishy washy answer that did nothing to dispel the stories about Palin. John McCain had the chance to live up to what he said in his concession speech by saying that the blame for the loss was his alone but he did not say that. Instead, he took the easy way out and failed to show true leadership. The straight talk express seems to have have lost the straight and resorted to just talk. And we all know that talk is cheap.
Let’s be clear here. Sarah Palin injected much needed life into the McCain campaign. John McCain is a RINO and he needed a true conservative to bring the base back home. Without Palin McCain would have lost by a much greater margin. I voted for McCain because he was, in my opinion, the better candidate of the two and he has a record on which we could make a judgment as opposed to Obama who has a paper thin resume. McCain was not my first (or second or third) choice but he was a better choice than Obama. Regardless, he is still a RINO who reaches across the aisle to make deals with the devils on the left. John McCain lost because he is not a conservative and even the true conservative Palin could not save him.
Conservatives win when they run but the base recognizes a RINO when it sees one and McCain is a RINO.

Just Say No To Oprah
Nov 8, 2008 Political
Back during the general election Oprah Winfrey declined to interview Sarah Palin because Oprah said she wanted to keep her show free from politics. Of course, while keeping it free she had Obama on twice, his wife was on as well and Oprah made a big public spectacle of endorsing Obama.
Now that the election is over and Obama has won Oprah has requested Sarah Palin do an interview. Now Oprah is not the only one. Larry King and Barbara Walters would like interviews as well. Palin should consider those because even though King and Walters would love to give labial stimulation to glans Obama, they did not deny Palin the chance to interview during the campaign. She might not have done one but it is not because she was refused the opportunity.
Oprah, on the other hand, decided to deny an interview that many of her audience wanted to see. Now Oprah wants the ratings jump she would surely get with Palin on the adjoining couch.
Palin should do every interview except the Oprah one. She should deny any contact with Oprah or her people. Oprah is a lying, cowardly, racist puke who does not deserve the time of day. She too is part of the Chicago machine and though many consider her talented I would venture that she had Chicago help along the way. How much skill does it take to sit on a couch and talk about how much body fat you’ve lost?
Oprah might not have wanted to interject White Republican Female politics into her show but I have a feeling she will be more active in politics in 2012. Oprah is calling it quits from her show in 2011 which will give her a year to get involved and maybe even run for something though I can’t imagine what she would actually be qualified for except maybe the aforementioned labial-glans position.
If things go right, she will still be waiting for her Palin interview.

Obama, Misogyny Be Thy Name
Oct 31, 2008 Political
It is not hard to understand why Barack Obama has an issue with women and why he has a hatred toward the ones who make something of themselves. As a child, Barry was abandoned by his mother who went out in pursuit of her life and left him with his grandmother. His grandmother is a typical white person who, according to his book, Obama became upset with because she expressed concern over a black man that tried to mug her. She must be a racist.
Given that the one woman who should have been the biggest influence in his life, his mother, abandoned him, it is not hard to see why Barack Obama hates women.
In the primary contest his campaign was dismissive of Hillary Clinton and she was treated as a second class citizen who, despite having a lot more experience than he, was not worthy of the presidency. Barack Obama was the preordained messiah of the DNC and they, along with his campaign, treated her very badly. Many of the women who supported her resent the way that she was treated and they have vowed to vote for John McCain. Hillary has told her supporters to get behind Barack but in her heart, she wants him to lose so she can run again in 2012.
Well Hillary is just a politician and is fair game. OK, what about the female reporter he called sweetie? What was she? I think she was a professional trying to do a job but Obama did not see her that way. It is a sure bet he would not have said such a thing to a male reporter. In other words, Obama does not think women are equal to men in the workplace.
Sarah Palin, another strong woman, entered the scene when John McCain selected her to be his running mate. The Obama campaign and its surrogates in the media brutalized Palin and her family. She was treated horribly and people criticized her for not aborting her last child who she knew had Down Syndrome. It is amazing to me that the very people who scream about a woman’s choice would criticize her for choosing life. If a woman has a right to choose then it means she has a right to make either choice. The way Palin was treated was nothing more than an extension of how Obama treats women in general. He certainly could not be as brutal to Hillary because he would need her support when he won but there is no way he will ever get Palin’s support and she is out to beat him.
The latest Obama ad is dismissive of Sarah Palin.
Obama approved this message….
This ad has caused a stir among people, especially women, from all parties. The end has Palin speaking but you can’t hear the words and then it shows her winking. This is very symbolic and it shows that Obama feels that a woman’s voice should not be heard. The wink shows that Obama believes women should not be taken seriously. More specifically, Obama is showing that he thinks Palin should not be given any kind of serious consideration because, according to him, she is not serious.
Look at the ad. It says that John McCain said he might have to rely on his VP for economic advice and then it shows Palin. Obama is giving us the message that John McCain picked a woman to handle the economy and we know they can’t do it. We need a man to figure out tough things like a budget.
Never mind the fact that Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined. Oh, and did I mention she has managed and balanced a $10 billion a year state budget? Palin has more financial responsibility as Alaska’s governor than Obama and Biden do as 2 members of an elite 100 person social club known as the Senate. She has been a mayor and is a governor and she has balanced budgets. She is the leader of the Alaska National Guard, military oversight neither Obama nor Biden can claim.
But Palin is a woman and therefore she is a second class citizen to Barry. In his mind, Palin, Clinton, and all the other women should know their places. That place, to Obama, is behind the man (two paces perhaps) who should be in charge.
Strong women scare Barack Obama because of a deep rooted hatred he has for the mother that abandoned him. He did not fly off to see her when she was dying. I am surprised he flew off to see granny but perhaps he felt he owed her at least that much. And the fact that the visit would take him to Hawaii where he could convince the people with authority to seal his records was an added bonus.
The Obama ad shows that this candidate is dismissive of women. I hope a lot more people see the criticism of this ad and decide that Obama is not right for America. With his attitude toward women there are other countries to which he would be better suited.
And, his wife would not have to worry about where to shop or what to wear.

Shocking Video Of McCain Sign Thief
Oct 30, 2008 Political
A guy named Shawn Turschak was tired of someone stealing his McCain/Pailin signs so he hooked a little dog electric fence up to the sign post and then placed a camera to record the thief.
I hope that little shock taught the kid a lesson. I hope it was severe enough to hurt for a while and bad enough to make him tell his parents about it. I have to believe that this little tyke did not decide to steal the signs on his own and was probably egged on by cowardly parents who could later claim, if he were caught, that he acted on his own and they would “punish” him. If the parents were caught, they could get in trouble with the law. Cowards.
Anyway, this is a great idea and I bet it taught, at least for a little while, a very valuable lesson.

Obama Hangs In Effigy, Racism Cited
Oct 28, 2008 Political
OK, as far as I know there is no effigy of Obama hanging in the US. I would not be surprised if there were one or two but, if they exist, they must be pretty secret because if they were discovered we would have people screaming racism, Jackson and Sharpton would be marching and inciting riots and the media would have a field day discussing how racist someone must have been while demanding the justice department look into this hate crime. My friend Adam would tell me that I do not understand the history of racism and the symbolism of a noose (but I am expected to accept a burning Flag as an expression of speech regardless of the symbolism of that Flag). Even when I said it is near Halloween and it is only a decoration the cries of racism would be heard from afar.
However, we have an effigy of Sarah Palin hanging from a noose at someone’s home in California. The home even has an image of John McCain rising from a flaming chimney. People in buses ask the drivers to stop so they can get pictures and people who view it have a laugh over it. Isn’t it strange how it is OK when it is a white person who happens to be Republican?
I mean, if an Obama were hanging in effigy I am certain that there would be calls for it to come down and for investigations of hate crimes.
I have no real problem with the display. It is Halloween and this is America. What I have a problem with is the obvious double standard that exists. I know, there has been no Obama effigy so how can I say there is a double standard. Jena Louisiana and Baltimore Maryland, two places where nooses were hung, neither of which was racially motivated (the one in Baltimore was a black guy upset about something) but this did not stop the NAACP from coming down hard and demanding investigations (MD) and the camera hogs, Jackson and Sharpton from entering to stir things up (LA).
I hope someone hangs an Obama effigy so we can see how people respond. I am willing to bet that they will not laugh about it and that buses will not stop to allow pictures. I’d hang it myself but I live in the sticks. More crickets than people would see it.
No, it would not be well received if the Messiah were to be displayed in such a manner. His disciples would be up in arms.
Everyone knows that The One gets hung from a Cross…
Oh, and the picture. It is the only Hussein I could find with a noose.
