Where is John McCain?

The past week has been rife with the news media taking whatever swipe they can at the current most visible conservative standard-bearer, our beloved Veep candidate, Sarah Palin.

I have two reason for commenting on this issue.  First, anyone who doubts that Sarah Palin helped the McCain campaign either was asleep for the last 9 weeks or is flat out lying through their pointed yellowish teeth.  Second, where in the heck is John McCain on this issue?  Mr. McCain needs to get out in public somewhere mui pronto and defend his former running mate.  By now, it’s known amongst those paying attention that the barrage of slanderous garbage hurled at Gov. Palin is largely just innuendo and outright lies.  That doesn’t change the fact that the media is still running with these items as if they were true. It is incumbent upon Senator McCain to refute them.

I will add myself to the people that voted for McCain largely because of Sarah. Not to mention the dozen others in my circle that I harassed until they did and the countless others they harassed on account of my harassing and the 5 bazillion people I forwarded blog posts from my own blog which I never would have written if not for Sarah and from other blogs I never would have read if not for Sarah and so on..  Get the picture?  My memory is quite good and I remember McCain dead in the water pre-Palin.  I don’t think he would have had anywhere near the showing he had without her.. Just think of the masses of people coming out to see them both once she got the base back into the campaign.

I despise RINOS.. Go back and read every post I ever made and half of them are me bitching about RINOS messing up our party and by extension, the country.  Go back and ask the four million NRCC and RNC people that called me looking for money what I told them before Sarah was on board.  I told them “HELL NO, I AM TIRED OF HAVING SO MANY RINOS IN MY PARTY, YOU WILL NOT GET ANOTHER DIME FROM ME UNTIL THERE IS A CONSERVATIVE ON THE TICKET!!”  Speaking of which, I, and many others flooded the GOP coffers with dough the day after the convention.  Clearly, this Republican has not regretted Sarah’s involvement one iota.

Finally, let me also say to Mr. McCain that if not for Gov. Palin, I would still despise your sorry RINO ass.  However, because of her, I got to know you and your history that much better and while I still disagree whole-heartedly with many of your lame RINO positions, I was proud to cast my vote for you.

Its about time you stood up and defended your running mate against the tools who are helping the media in their efforts to destroy her now so they don’t have to deal with her re-emerging in 2012.

An open letter to Obama Voters.

I pray that you will allow me at least the opportunity to change your mind.

 

The news media in this country, virtually every newspaper, TV network and so on is made up of liberal Democrats that the truth is rarely told.  All I want is the opportunity to get our point of view out and understood by you rather than the meat grinder of some place like CNN or MS NBC.  If you get all of your news from one of these or some similar source, it probably makes you wonder how anyone could EVER vote Republican.  Well, that IS their goal and plan but it should make you wonder how so many people still do.  It’s because they caught on to how corrupt the news media is and now they see through the BS. 

 

I have heard the comment that “Sarah Palin scares me!”  I can’t for the life of me understand how John McCain or Sarah Palin could possibly scare anyone.  They are honest to God real Americans who love their country and the principles it was founded on.  There are so many myths about them, their backgrounds, and their beliefs, it’s not funny.  Few people ever take a moment to find out if what they hear is actually true.  You would have to tell me what ridiculous accusation you have heard first but I assure you I can defend it with nothing but the truth.  I can however tell you that Sarah Palin does not want to take away anyone’s abortion rights, or stop teaching evolution in school and that John McCain is not, in fact, a blood relative of George W. Bush. 

 

It’s sad to say but few “scary” things the media does ever say about Obama are only the top of the iceberg and are not merely “smears” as is often claimed.  The previous post on this blog “The comprehensive argument against Barack Obama” lays out the facts on many of these issues.   I hope you at least take the time to check out it out thoroughly before dismissing it so lightly.  I am not in the habit of spreading lies or playing games.  I love my country and I am fighting for it every day.

 

I know many people who get their political identity from their family without it ever occurring to them that things may have changed in the last 40-50 years.  The Democrat party that existed in the 60’s is gone. The Democrat party of 2008 has mostly been co-opted by true leftists who are working very hard (and unfortunately successfully) to create a nanny state and absolute socialism. 

 

It upsets me that I run into people everyday who think that they must remain Democrat for the exact reason that they should become Republicans.

 

It is the Republican Party that stands for civil liberties.  It IS the party that was founded on the principal of anti-slavery and more importantly, the fundamental concepts that America was founded on, individual liberty, equal opportunity, personal responsibility, the American Dream.

 

The Democrat Party has become the party of big government that keeps creating more and more social programs and spending more and more of our tax dollars to setup wealth redistribution programs. The aim of which is to keep people in need dependent on the government and more importantly, for those in the Democrat party to remain in power.  The sad truth is that they have no real desire to “help” anyone but themselves.  They use these dependents to maintain their power by threatening them with the interruption of their benefits if a Republican happened to take office.  Some of these many benefits that are manipulated in their massive class warfare game include welfare, housing assistance, food stamps, and government contracts. Even government jobs are created to maintain a dependent populace.

 

Obama, himself, is just another in a long line of ultra liberal tax and spenders whose goal is to continue this growth of government by creating even more social programs, even more taxation, more spending and ultimately more dependents that will keep him and his friends like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in power and take our country even further from its roots.

 

What is worse is that I think that Obama has the potential to be much, much worse.  His history is that of someone who actually believes in socialism and Marxist principles.  He has toned down this rhetoric tremendously to make himself more appealing to the masses but I fear the true Obama will return if he is elected.  I will also make a side note that the majority of his campaign promises, notably his 95% tax cut proposal, are lies, distortions and half-truths and that this is easily demonstrated by checking with non-partisan organizations that you can Google in two seconds.  Pick an item and I will be happy to explain the ramifications.

 

I am of the belief that the country may not survive even one Obama term.  We will be attacked as weak by every terrorist organization out there.  Our system of economics will cross the brink from sort of socialistic progressive to actual out and out socialism. 

 

Simply put, the Republican Party believes that all people should be given the equal opportunity prescribed in our Declaration of Independence.  They believe in law and order, that people should be responsible for themselves.  They should be rewarded for their successes and innovation and they should be equally held to account for their misbehavior.  The Republican Party is for smaller government, less bureaucracy and more freedom and liberty for the people. 

 

Contrarily, the Democrat Party believes in larger government where it is the responsibility of that government to take care of its people.   They believe in taxing success and innovation and using the proceeds to create dependents.   The government chooses what behavior is acceptable and unacceptable and legislates accordingly.  Notwithstanding the previous statements, it is also clear that the Democrat Party believes in whatever cause they can use to vilify the Republican Party, IE. They may be for or against tax cuts or war depending on what their Republican opponent is saying.

 

There are many, many individual issues that come up in every Presidential election.  The War on Terror, Abortion, 2nd amendment rights, gay marriage, property rights, taxes and so on.  Some of you may be one issue voters.  If so, at least do this for me.  Make sure you really know where each candidate stand on that issue, not where you “think” they stand or what you “heard on CBS news” but what they really believe and what their plans are.  Secondly, before making a decision based on your “one issue”, think hard about whether some of the other issues should be sacrificed over your one issue.

 

Please, before you vote for Barack Obama, at least know what you are asking for.

 

Call me crazy but I want my kids to grow up in an America I can recognize. 

 

I will be voting McCain-Palin.

 

The Comprehensive Argument Against Barack Obama.

I’m not going to elaborate.  Please click the link below…

Send this link to your friends and families.   The truth is out there.

The Truth on the Bailout might come out after all..

Up until last night, the mainstream media and even more surprisingly, the McCain campaign have seemed unwilling to tell this story.  Clearly, I’m not.

Remarkably, Fox News ran a special on the causes of the economic crisis last night.   It’s an absolute must watch.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

Part 6

Even Alec Baldwin, of all the psycho leftists in the world, sees the truth! If you have followed his antics as a Boosh hater, this is shocking as hell.  I give him credit on this one.

After that, go over to Michelle Malkin’s site and check out the fresh, new Bailout T-shirts!

Personally, the BFF one is my favorite!

Sarah positively KILLED at the debate last night…

CNN has it 51/36 Biden and CBS has 46/21 Biden.   They must have been polling in the Biden spin room!

Here is a short video of pollster Frank Luntz and his results. 

Below is the full debate, unedited on youtube.

Michelle Malkin liveblogged the debate… It’s a great read!

Also, here’s a link to Biden’s gaffes, errors and untruths from the debate.   I caught a few of these myself but the list is shocking!

The Economic Crisis? Who, How, What, Where & When?

Below is a great video I found on youtube which lays out the facts behind our current economic crisis.  Surely you can take a few minutes to watch.  Pass this one around please.

Question: Who is Obama?  Is he the guy we see in the debates and on the campaign tour spouting hope and change we can believe in (gag) or something much much darker? You be the judge.

Now, we know that fair and accurate reporting, not to mention anything resembling ethics is dead in the newsmedia.  But how dead?  Dead enough that there is an active widespread conspiracy to elect one Presidential candidate over the other?  How does 98% of the newsmedia  miss all of this stuff?

As I post this, Obama is giving a campaign speech where he blames deregulation by the Bush administration for the economic crisis, completely ignoring the facts and the TRUTH.  I implore everyone out there to take the people in your life aside and show them these facts and the TRUTH.  Some guy more talented than I was irked enough to make that video, now your job is just to watch and share it.  Please take the time to do so.  Our great country is being taken from us by the forces of Socialism and more to the point, the force of EVIL.   It is going to take a grassroots effort to wake the sleeping boobs who decide elections in America, the great unwashed swing voters.   Find them and tell them

All you need to do is stand back and listen to the Democrats and Obama speak.  The way they operate is clear.  They create more and more social programs intended to keep the population dependent on them and the government.  They do this to grow government and maintain their power.  They then attack their political opponents by using fear, class warfare and lies.   “Don’t you dare vote for that evil Republican, he will take away your benefits, whatever they may be”.  The end result is that those people will never advance, they will remain dependent and ultimately the tool of the left to continue the process.  Conservatives want to provide equal opportunity for everyone.  They have faith in the people to achieve.  After all, that’s how America got to be so great.   Think of all the great inventions and technological breakthroughs and the incredible increase in quality of life that we have all experienced because of the original American culture where risk was rewarded, pioneers were revered, and the free market made the best ideas constantly challenged to become that much better.

Help break the chain.

October 3, 2008 – The following NRCC ad just came out.  I thought I would add it to this post.

My obligatory Stop the Bailout and Cuff Dodd post.

The entire newsmedia and more just recently, the FBI, are supposedly investigating the current credit crisis to find out what went wrong and just who is responsible.  It seems pretty clear to me.

I have a question.  How come Christopher Dodd is not in handcuffs? 

http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZjM2YTdkMjYzM2RjMThmNjJkNmNjYjk0YzRmNjI0MjA=

I have done a bit of research on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and find that this is the number one source of all the bailout drama that has thus far occurred and has no end in sight.  How did this happen?  Read a few of the articles below and it becomes quite clear..

During the 90’s, the Clinton administration and congressional Democrats leaned all over the financial markets to delve into risky subprime markets and when then balked, the same people, most notably Barney Franks and Dodd himself, pushed Fannie & Freddie to buy these loans, thereby facilitating the greedy money people on Wall Street.  This is not to mention the many many Clinton cronies that got rich along the way.  

I know I know.  This all sounds familar.  Democrat politicians legislating environments that lead to bad behavior that is detrimental to the country, ie welfare, marriage penalty et al.

By the way, dont forget Chris Dodd’s sweetheart loan deal..

Dodd claims he “didn’t know” he was getting a break.. The guy is on the damn Senate Banking Commission!

Clearly Senator Dodd is GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY….  and so are all you Democrats who have repeatedly voted for this slime.

I say we stop the bailout altogether especially since now the latest version of Congressional Democrat slime wants to add everything from your neighbors foreclosure to some fool’s unpaid car note to the bill.

WHY IN THE HELL AM I (and millions of other decent Americans) PAYING MY BILLS ON TIME?

Join Newt, and I and others and STOP THE BAILOUT!

I just ran across a fellow blogger who, besides being clearly much less lazy than I, is on the same page and bothered to actually do all the research… A must read is below.

Speaking truth to morons.

It’s a common battlechant of the leftists in this country to “speak truth to power”.  The problem with most of these people is they don’t have the brainpower to distinguish what really is true from what comes from their mouths.

The goal for this blog post is to gather some of the recent media issues in the current Presidential campaign and point out the truth.  Let’s see how I do.

1)  Which policies led to the housing and credit crisis?  Want a hint?  It wasn’t that evil BOOSH…  Here is a linkie for you..
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/16/whose-policies-led-to-the-credit-crisis/trackback/

2) Are the fundamentals of the American economy strong?  By now, I’m sure you have heard Obama slamming McCain for saying that the backbone of the American economy is in tact and we will get through this current credit crisis.  According to Obama, the sky is falling, McCain is a liar, and only he can save us.  Well, what’s the truth, is the economy screwed or not?   Here is a great article from Larry Elder over at townhall.  The great thing about Larry is he backs up his arguments with FACTS.  Now, that’s something you don’t see every day.

3) Earmarks you say…

    Barack Obama’s record on earmarks:

    Oh, and how is this for sketchy?

4) You want the truth on Obama’s sex ed bill?  Are you sure?  The media has already slapped the McCain campaign as if they were lying about it..  Oh, that’s right we are supposed to be speaking truth to morons here..

5) Speaking of things the McCain campaign is villified for because they are “over the top”.  How about whether or not Obama is actually to the left of NARAL on abortion?  You be the judge.

6) Did Sarah Palin really stop that “Bridge to Nowhere”?  Yes, she did.  The twisting the left is doing on this is insane. 
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122100927525717663.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

7) I think I will finish up with the dirt the left has been throwing at Sarah Palin.  First, did she say the Iraq War was “God’s will”? No.  Did she try and outlaw teaching evolution in school or push creation science as Governor? No.  Did she want to ban books in Alaska’s public library and fire a librarian for not cooperating? No.  Was she a member of Alaska’s Indepedent party which at one time advocated separating from the Union? Um, No.  Is Trig really her daughter’s child? No.  The list goes on and on.  Check these sites for the truth.

This is just a taste.  The moral is to investigate before believeing what you read or see on TV.  The truth CAN be found, it’s just that sometimes you have to go look for it on your own.

More GOP Convention Coverage – Go Sarah!

Ok folks, if you haven’t seen these speeches yet, please take the time to watch.

First up, Rudy Giuliani… Job well done!

Then, the big show!  Sarah knocks em dead!

I had no doubt she would exceed all expectations.   I am thrilled to see our Republican Party acting like real Republicans for a change, talking about American optimism, smaller government, lower taxes, facts and not hype!  True conservatism is still alive and well in Sarah Palin and I am thrilled beyond words to see it.  I have news for you lefties.  Sarah’s politics are MY politics and THE politics of America.   If you don’t think so, make no mistake, your patriotism should be questioned!

GOP Convention Night Number Two..

We heard from First Lady Laura Bush and then the President and later on, a really moving effort from Liebs but the highlight of the evening was Fred!  Just a reminder of why I love this guy..

Tribute to Michael Monsoor:

Liebs doing his best to knock some sense into the middle of the road Democrats out there:

Contrast this Country First, Pride in America attitude with what you get from B.O.  There is really no comparison.
