The Bourne Insanity
Sep 10, 2008 Political
Jason Bourne is a fictional character in novels written by Robert Ludlum. During a mission Bourne, a CIA agent, is shot in the head and suffers amnesia. Matt Damon portrayed Bourne in the movie version of the novels and did a remarkable job with the character.
Unfortunately, it would seem that Matt Damon has trouble with his brain in real life. He was interviewed and gave his impression of Sarah Palin. Damon stated that the selection of Palin worried him. He stated that he wanted to know if she wanted to ban books and why. That Democratic rumor has been disproved but there are still those who are unable to see the truth. Damon also wanted to know if Palin thought dinosaurs roamed the Earth 4000 years ago. I guess he thinks her name is PALINtologist.
The interesting thing is that Damon questions Palin’s experience by saying she was the Mayor of a very, very, small town and has only been a Governor for a year and a half. This gives him pause because she is, according to Damon, likely to become president. Damon bases this on actuary tables.
In the interview, which was more an Obama endorsement, Damon never once expressed the same reservations about Barack Obama who has never been the mayor of a town of any size. Obama’s sole claim to experience is his service as a community organizer (running his campaign not withstanding /snark), which I think means he was not the leader of the entire population, very small or otherwise. Obama has only been a Senator for 4 years and he has been campaigning for 2 of them which means he began his run with a whopping 2 years of legislative, not executive experience. Obama has spent more time running for office than he has serving in the Senate where he has worked for fewer than 200 days. Palin’s year and a half as Governor is a year and a half of executive experience and that does not count her executive time as mayor. Regardless of the amount of time, it is more than Obama has.
In a surreal comedy where life imitates art, it appears that Damon took a shot of liberal Obama Kool-aid to the head and has lost the ability to engage in rational thought.
Damon said that Palin reminded him of a really bad Disney movie. If they made a movie about Damon’s support of Obama it would have to be called The Bourne Insanity.

Obama Bullied By A Girl, Cries
Sep 6, 2008 Political
Barack Hussein Obama wants to be the President of the United States. He has made it clear that he will negotiate with our enemies without precondition but has indicated that the military option is always on the table. Obama can talk tough when he has to and he has been known to be a political thug but beneath it all he is a pussy.
We know that Obama is a pussy because he is crying that a woman is beating him up. I remember when I was a boy one of the things we boys never wanted to happen was for us to get beat up by a girl. You could get your butt whipped everyday from a guy and it was over that day but if a girl kicked your tail you never lived it down. Obama is crying about being bullied by a girl and he does not like it. He might never live it down.
You see, during the Democratic Primaries Obama had the media on his side and Hillary was beaten from all angles. There were a lot of dynamics involved and though Obama was sexist, he was not beaten by the woman because he was able to gang up on her, Chicago style. With Saracuda it will make no difference how many friends he brings to the fight, she will not back down. The Media have been against Republicans for such a long time we already know that the odds are stacked against us so it will not come as a surprise to us as it did Hillary. A fight is good but how will Obama’s crying about being picked on play with voters? Will they realize he lacks what it takes to be tough?
Obama is saying that he will not be smeared, lied about or bullied and that he does not like to come in second. It is funny, because all Obama has done is attack and smear Palin since she was announced. Oh sure, he might not have been the one to say the words, but he is the one who has directed the attacks. Much like he did in the primary, he is allowing his surrogates to attack while he looks clean and above the fray. He is also letting women do his fighting:
Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Governor Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and creating a rapid-response team to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said on Thursday. Herald Tribune
So the way I see it, Barry Obama is crying because his record (not him personally) was attacked by a woman in response to his dismissal of her record and selection to be VP. Make no mistake, the initial response was dismissal and negative. It was changed when reaction from many was swift and also negative. I also see that Barry is pimping out his women to do his fighting for him. He is getting beat up by a girl and he is sending girls to fight his battle. He is not man enough to fight on his own.
We know that Barry cannot match up with McCain as a matter of toughness and there is no shame in that. But Obama has no problem attacking McCain and engaging in a fight with him. Obama is not willing to take on Palin which makes me wonder how tough he could possibly be with the bad people of this world.
I guess what is at the root of all this is that Barry thought that Palin would crumble under the weight of the attacks launched against her by his friends in the media. I guess he figured that she would be beaten into submission and would be too timid to fight back. Instead, after Barry’s friends in the media ran one false story after another or dredged up decades old items to try to discredit her and even after they questioned her ability as a mother because of the decision she made to fly after her water broke (which is no one’s concern but hers and her doctors) Palin, instead of crumbling, struck back.
As an aside, would someone tell me why, when a woman wants to murder a child through abortion, it is a matter between her and her doctor but when Palin decided to fly home to deliver her child it is everyone’s business. People have been attacking her judgment because of a decision she and her doctor made. I thought the left believed in a woman’s choice. They never concern themselves with children who are aborted and Obama is not concerned with the ones who are born alive after an attempted abortion. Why question Palin’s judgment on life when they oppose questiong judgment in a culture of death? And for the uninformed, Trisomy 21 is genetic so flying after her water broke did not cause the defect.
Back to business. I know that Obama needs to be careful because he risks being called out for picking on the girl. He (or his surrogates) has attacked her family, her personal decisions and they have made up vile lies about her baby and who had it and fathered it. It is all a bunch of personal attacks and Obama is responsible for them (it is HIS campaign and he thinks running it makes him more qualified than Palin). I wonder when the media will look into Obama’s associations and shady past. Funny how he sounds like Hillary when he says he has been vetted for 19 months while Palin has been at it for 4 days.
They know that they cannot attack her qualifications because she has more of them than Obama so they are going after her personal life. Funny thing, she took what they had and then shot back and when she did it was a gut punch that had Barry on his knees whining that a woman had bullied him and asking his girls to go out and attack her for him.
We have a name for men who put women on the streets doing dirty work for them. We call them pimps.
Palin will do well to avoid attacking the surrogates. Their goal is to take focus off Obambi. She should address anything they say by refocusing it on Obama. She could say; “Surrogate X was on the attack for Senator Obama and she carried his message of…” And then she could attack him and his message and ignore the surrogate. If I were she I would connect Obambi’s use of women to attack with his sexist attitude toward them as displayed in the primary. That will resonate. I think that Obama and his people found out that a woman who hunts her own food is not going to wilt when a slick talking, former drug using*, Chicago thug attacks her. I bet that not only can she take him in a verbal battle, she could actually stomp his metrosexual butt into a mud puddle and then walk it dry.
Perhaps Palin’s executive experience as a governor and running a military has given her the experience to fight while Obama is unable to do anything but send his nags out to fight for him. Real demonstration about Commander in Chief credentials by a person who will not be the president to someone who is running to be. We already know McCain has the creds for the job and it is good to see Palin holds her creds a heartbeat away.
I actually look forward to Obama’s girls (not his children though they might be tougher than daddy) attacking Palin. The left has a bunch of old nasty looking feminazis who will look like a bunch of harpies when they go up against a telegenic, intelligent woman who can mop the floor with them. Remember, Palin has already scared Oprah Winfrey.
Democrats can say they are not scared but I can smell the fear.
Who would you rather have standing next to you in a tough spot; Obama and Biden or McCain and Palin?

McCain Is Solid In Big Moment
Sep 5, 2008 Political
John McCain accepted the nomination of the Republican Party and delivered a solid speech though one not nearly as rousing as those given by Barack Obama and Sarah Palin. McCain’s task, as I saw it, was to show Americans that he was not out of touch and that he understood their challenges. Since his selection of Palin to be Vice President has energized the base, I saw McCain’s task as appealing to the Independent voters and those moderate Democrats who might not be committed or sold on Obama.
McCain’s speech was solid but the truth is he is not as eloquent a speaker as Palin or Obama. In fact, though I felt Palin’s speech last night worried some Democrats, the thought I had first was that I felt sorry for McCain because he had to follow her.
Surprisingly, though not as gifted a speaker, McCain hit home with issues that affect families. He discussed the struggles of paying for a home, buying groceries and filling the gas tank. This hit home and showed that despite what Barack Obama says, John McCain does get it. When McCain went into his life story he really gave a heartfelt account.
I did not want John McCain to discuss his experience in Vietnam. The Democrats have been beating on him for expressing that part of his life too much. John McCain has a much more honorable record in that war than John Kerry but I felt he risked being painted with the same brush that Kerry was by leaning too heavily on that experience, as honorable as it was. Besides, every speaker this week recounted the story for John. But McCain did discuss it and he was artful in how he presented it. He started by telling people that his experience as a POW was a blessing and then he told the story of how, prior to his capture, he was a self centered person who believed the world revolved around him. He explained how his capture transformed him into a person who places his country first and the needs of others above one’s own needs. That transformation came after others cared for him and kept him alive. It was presented very well.
Certainly John McCain’s speech was not of the caliber of Obama’s or Palin’s but he did what he had to do. He showed people that he gets it and I think he appealed to voters who are not part of the base. He reached out to Obama supporters and then he skillfully contrasted what he wants to do with what Obama wants to do. I think that many on the fence who are moderate will find John McCain’s positions more appealing and that Barack Obama cannot compete with his life experiences.
All in all, a solid speech. Not spectacular, but solid. It would have been a bit smoother if the people in the hall had not interrupted him at inappropriate times but he was able to get through that. He handled the moonbat who tried to disrupt the speech with a bit of humor and quickly refocused the attention of those listening, back to him. Notice that the only people causing trouble at both conventions were liberals.
The next 2 months will be very interesting. Sarah Palin has energized the party and we now have a real contest on our hands. Today’s poll has them dead even. it will be interesting to see what tomorrow’s brings.
I will be interviewed by Dennis Edwards on WSBA (910 am) out of York* PA tomorrow a little after 6 am Eastern about my thoughts on John McCain’s speech.
*Changed to reflect correct location of the station.

The Community Obama Organized
Sep 4, 2008 Political
Saracuda Palin, the next Vice President of the United States, excoriated Barack Obama for his so called experience as a community organizer. I know that Obama did not like this because he sent me an email WHINING that Palin mocked his time as a community organizer and then he asked me for money. In a TV interview Obama said that Palin’s claimed experience was fair game and that he has been going through this for 19 months and she for 4 days. That is a nice was to dismiss the woman but she has been going through this since she ran for office and it is a bit more than 4 days.
Well, if experience is fair game why is Obama whining about Palin questioning his experience as a community organizer? Let’s face it, Obama’s camp was the one that attacked Palin as lacking experience. This from a candidate whose biggest claim to fame is that he was a community organizer. Why is it fair to attack Palin but then unfair for Palin to point out Barry’s lack of experience? I know Barry is upset that she hit him on his community organizer experience but that is all he has to attack. Let us take a look at the community he organized.
Chicago has one of the toughest gun laws in the country. The unconstitutional laws there (which Obama supports) are supposed to keep people safe. But they do not. This Summer Chicago had 123 murders by firearms. This was double the rate of US military killed in Iraq during the same period of time and we are fighting a war there. Obama was a community organizer there and he wants us to believe that his sainted touch made the place better. The truth is that he and his buddy Rezko raped the people and the place he “organized” is more run down now than it was before he organized it.
This is the experience that Obama claims. He continually blows the organizer trumpet as if he is Gabriel himself. If he put that experience out there as a qualification then it, using his words, is fair game. He failed miserably as an organizer and he has less experience than Sarah Palin. She has served as an executive as a mayor and a governor and she is in charge of the Alaska National Guard. Obama can claim none of this experience.
All one needs to do is look at the community Barry organized to see how little experience he has and how disastrous the outcome was to know he is not the one to lead this country.
Remember, if she was insignificant they would not attack her so viciously. She is a game changer and they know it.

Sarah Palin Cleans Their Clocks
Sep 4, 2008 Political
Hockey Mom; She shoots, she scores!
Sarah Palin just finished her speech at the Republican National Convention and she was absolutely brilliant. She introduced herself and her family. She discussed her career and personal life and she made the case for John McCain. Then she went after the Democrats and she did to them what Jesse Jackson could only talk about doing.
I think she left no doubt that she will be no pushover and that she can hold her own. Obama made a mistake when he ignored the fact that she is a governor not one but twice. He recently said that he had more executive experience than she because he has a campaign staff of a couple thousand with a monthly budget three times the one she had as mayor. He ignored the fact that she is a governor for good reason. Her budget is 11 billion dollars annually and she has about 25,000 people she is in charge of. His experience cannot match up to hers and he knows it. If he were not worried about her he would not be trying to prove he has more leadership experience.
Obama’s camp came out with its statement immediately after her speech. They indicated that her speech was written by George Bush’s speech writer and demonstrated the same divisive politics that Bush did. The campaign also said that McCain agreed with Bush 90% of the time and the country should not go for a 10% change.
I wonder if Obama will tell us which speech writer wrote his speech. I also wonder if he realizes that his speech near his palatial stage was full of divisive politics. He was vicious to John McCain and Republicans. I guess that is not divisive because he is a Democrat.
Palin eviscerated and emasculated Barack Obama and she smiled the entire time. She demonstrated that she will not be taken lightly and that she has a bit of bulldog in her. I said before that the Democrats were afraid and I am even more convinced of that. Want more proof? Joe Biden said today that an Obama would pursue criminal charges against George Bush if elected in November. There is only one reason this was said. Biden said it to ensure he can pull those Democrats who are upset that impeachment is off the table that they need to elect Obama to get what they want. It was a statement made out of FEAR.
I think that Saracuda has them worried and shaking in their pants. They might say otherwise but I can smell the fear. As Ann Coulter put it:
The bien-pensant criticized Palin, saying it’s irresponsible for a woman with five children to run for vice president. Liberals’ new talking point: Sarah Palin: Only five abortions away from the presidency.
They claimed her newborn wasn’t her child, but the child of her 17-year-old daughter. That turned out to be a lie.
Then they attacked her daughter, who actually is pregnant now, for being unmarried. When liberals start acting like they’re opposed to pre-marital sex and mothers having careers, you know McCain’s vice presidential choice has knocked them back on their heels.
But at least liberal reporters had finally found someone their own size to pick on: a 17-year-old girl.[bold emphasis mine]
