Our Own Village Idiot
Bob Barr Shows his Arrogance
Well, we may have just what we need to insure that Obama-lama-ding dong and wife get into office. Our own version of Ralph Nader, Bob Barr.
Most of us remember Barr for his intense attacks on Bill Clinton in the Lewinsky trial. While we might have enjoyed his watchdog approach on that class A-1 a-hole, I have to say that even then I had concerns that he was a little too “dogged” in his pursuit… just a liiiiiiiittle too overzealous.
Well, it turns out Barr has a lot in common with other village idiots that don’t understand that in a two party system, indy candidates KILL real candidates. Nader and Perot come to mind. At least Perot was a viable contender though. Nader and Barr are nothing more than nuisances that undermine the ability of a majority of a party to control the destiny of the party.
Said Barr on Geraldo- paraphrasing- “Nobody is talking about anything of substance, and that is what I intend to bring to the table.”
“Um- idiot? The time for you to try to sway people into believing that YOUR ideas of “substance” have any substance capable of sustaining a Presidential bid has already come and gone. We call it a “primary”, you arrogant ass.”
Perhaps Barr will find a sword to fall on… I predict that pressure from the party will send him packing. If it doesn’t, I will be happy to go buy him a sword. Maybe we can find a drunk bus driver or a poorly maintained plane to donate to his “campaign”.

Edward Pulls Through
We are happy to announce that Senator Edward Kennedy’s brain surgery went very well, which means the implant will now try to start computing in the space where there was no brain present previously.
Said Kennedy “I feel like a million bucks. I think I’ll do that again tomorrow.” This is clearly a sign that the available brain donor stock was of particularly low quality, but it still should be an improvement over what we previously were able to get from Teddy. And, if it doesn’t”take”, maybe we can oblige him and try again tomorrow.
The surgery did stumble on a hiccup of sorts,

Obama’s Cries “Uncle”
Obama recently stated that his Uncle (or someraig. Uncle) liberated prisoners in Auschwitz, and then subsequently came home and sat in an attic for 6 months.
Apparently Obama’s Uncle was a Russian (sarcasm), as the US troops never even saw Auschwitz. (Auschwitz was liberated by the Russian Army.) And to add insult to injury to this audacious attempt to try to sound as though one has “gravitas” because one has relatives who “did something important “, this Harvard Grad-idiot would have you believe the following:

Obama Tries on His Presidential Clothing
It is amateur night in the Democrat Party. As I have pointed out already, many on the left think the battle between Obama and Clinton shows strength. The two of them are neck and neck because they are such solid candidates… or so the left would have you believe.
As I have stated before, an even and hotly contested race does not mean

She Needs a Fork! Or Does She?
I say Hillary is done. So do most others paying attention, at this point
Hillary failed to show strong enough in Indiana, and Obama cleaned her clock in North Carolina. This puts her campaign now officially into “sputtering but indignantly fighting to still seat Florida and Michigan” mode.
The DNC is left now with the task of cleaning up their pathetic mess created by Howard Dean concerning their fumbling attempt to punish those two States. Were it not for Dean and Florida/Michigan, I am not sure Obama would have survived to this point. More on that below, and how the scars from Wright would have made a difference earlier.
The aftermath will be interesting to watch, because they have to unite a party now. How do they create a situation where Hillary can get out honorably? Can the loser lose graciously at this point?
I think not, and- wait a minute…

Hardball Without the Balls
Barack Obama can’t seem to take real heat. He is really clearly off his game when put on the defensive.
In the last few weeks, we have seen Mr. “I have a scripted platitude rich response for everything” reduced to “I can’t make up my mind which excuse to use, and please forgive me for my stammering and long pauses while I figure out how the hell to do proper damage control…”
In the ABC debate, Obama was put in a box he does not like, and one he does not deal with well. Which box? The one where
A Fool and His Money…
John McCain is now taking public funds for the election- to the tune of about $84 million.
Yes, I know, I know… it is ironic that Mr. Campaign finance reform can’t make money, while Democrats can. In a year where we have an unpopular war (that ‘popularity’ depends on “success”, and few of us can determine how to adequately define that), rising gas prices, and a recession in the making, it is no surprise that a Republican would have a hard time raising cash.
It has been intimated that Obama claimed HE would take public funding if the Republican candidate agreed to. But we know how things like that go. What is said today by a Democrat is quickly changed by tomorrow. One might even claim that the Democrat party is the “Woman’s Prerogative” party… always reserving the right to change one’s mind; or story; or plea.
When one considers the political faux pas’ of the two jokers on the left; when one considers the inexperience of Obama, and the fake experience of Hillary; when one considers the lies concerning their history; when one considers close ties to racists— it is absolutely perplexing the amount of money Obama, and yes, even Hillary have been able to raise.
One might claim that they have raised record levels of cash due to record levels of interest and sharp political tactics. I would say that the only thing they have raised is the interest of a party of fools…
…and we know what they say about fools and money.
While the groundswell of money from the left is impressive, we must simply remember that even rich fools will falter. Money cannot save stupidity, buy a reputation, or create a history of experience.
Dueling Champs, or Dueling Fools?
In sports, a blowout is usually pretty boring, unless you have some kind of vendetta agenda. Good rivalries make good sports, as do well fought contests which hold surprises.
One of the most important aspects of any great sporting (or any) contest is a fairly equal match-up. Parity, in sports, often creates an interesting duel, and sometimes a battle which is founded solely on parity creates a great duel.
However, let’s make no mistake here: parity, on its own, does NOT necessarily indicate greatness of either party involved in the battle. But that is what the Democrat pundits would have you believe when they talk about their two bumbling candidates.
It seems that everywhere I turn, I keep hearing people on the left (mostly liberals) stating the mantra, over and over, that the reason that Obama and Clinton run so close together and are having such a tight race is because they are both such excellent candidates, running excellent campaigns.
This is mentally a riot for anyone with half or more of a brain.
First off, both of them are relatively inexperienced as elected politicians. A first term Senator, and a Wife of an Ex-Impeached President.
Secondly, the fact that these two are running neck and neck right now has a lot more to do with idiocy of the left, and mistakes by the candidates, than it does with “greatness” as evidenced by the parity.
And at the core of this problem is one issue: Character.
The amazing aspect of this analysis is that the left truly thinks that their “tight race” is an example of “excellence”. But, I think we all understand that two mediocre competitors can create a fairly good “game” just by being “equally matched”… i.e., parity. I would argue that the only “excellence” being exercised in the campaigns of Clinton and Obama is that they are excellent impostors.
Without character, we do not win wars. Without character, we do not set visions. Without character, we cannot lead. Without character, we cannot even find the truth. And when people who run for President have a hard time finding the truth, especially when it comes to sniper fire or 20 years of exposure to a man who used to be recognized as an very close adivsor, then we have a problem that needs some addressing, now.
Addressing this problem is the duty and responsibility of the left, the DNC, the Democrat party. But, as evidenced by their inability to reconcile their OWN party on Florida and Michigan delegates, delegates who were/are stripped due to their OWN party chair, this party cannot convince anyone that they deserve to run anything.
If you cannot run your own house, one which you are in control of, how the hell do you expect to run the only Free Nation that acts in an independent manner, in the face of the evils that face us today?
Democrats are insisting that their “contest” shows excellence. I contest that their “contest” is an example of the mediocre beating the average. It just depends on what day you take a poll as to what kind of result you get.
Even more amazing is that neither he press, nor any other pundit is bringing YOU this information:
McCain holds even with both Clinton and Obama, in a year where both Clinton and Obama should be winning handily. What the left leaning media is not telling you is-
Both Clinton and Obama supporters claim to be willing to defect to McCain by a whopping margin of 20-28% per candidate. So that “head to head” percentage that they tout as being “even” is really a damn blowout, right now, before a vote is even cast.
The real problem the left has is, as always, one of honesty. Honesty from their candidates, and honesty in their reporting.
Last I heard, Clinton is ducking sniper fire from Jeremiah Wright while Obama says he never knew Wright owned a gun.
People who have the qualities to be President do not act this way… do not not lie this way… do not stretch the truth this way… do not expect that Americans are stupid as fence posts.
It’s your decision, mister ‘undecided-moderate-person’… Do you want liars, or someone who love this Country enough to die for it tomorrow?

“Let’s Talk Issues… Except that one…”
Well, here it comes… the “Let’s talk issues” deflection.
With all of the heat that Clinton and Obama are taking for basically lying, the Dems on the left are beginning to chant the mantra “Why don’t we talk about issues? Let’s talk about healthcare, the war, the economy, blah blah blah…”
Newsflash for all of you liberals… to adults with morals and principles (i.e., conservatives, most moderates, and some democrats), character IS an issue- perhaps the most important one of all, as it is an indicator as to how you will lead, and what you are willing (or not willing) to do in the face of adversity.
So when we hear conservatives bring up over and over the most recent lies of

Drawing Out the Rats
In listening to John McCain in an interview with Hannity, it dawned on me that Fox has a unique opportunity to influence the democRATS, namely Obama and Clinton, who are avoiding the network like the plague. Look at that - plague and rats in the same sentence.
Ironically, the same party (Democrat) that from time to time hints about something called the ‘fairness’ doctrine is also led by politicians who run like chickens from, well, ‘FOX’es when it comes to dealing with Fox news. They want fairness, but not in a free market. They are well aware that Fox doesn’t “play fair” by asking hard probing questions which puts them in compromising situations. Fox asks follow up questions when you dodge the question or fail to answer it. Fox plays - um - hardball. I guess Chris Mathews is going to have to come up with a new name for his show.
Anyway- I digress, so back to the ‘idea’.
Fox has access anytime to McCain, of course. And Fox has to be careful that they don’t show favoritism to McCain, as they are somewhat required to offer “equal time”. But wait a minute! What if you are having trouble not only making the horse drink, but getting him to the water as well?
Clinton and Obama surely have been asked repeatedly to come to Fox. Any show. They dodge for the aforementioned reasons. But, Fox is NOT obligated to
The utterly BRILLIANT left wing ideologue scientist, Nobel winner, internet creator, and "Champion of the chad recount", Al Gore has once again wowed us with some more amazing feats of observation.
Gore says the most recent Myanmar tragedy, Cyclone Nargis, which claimed 200,000 lives, was the result of Global Warming.
Nice job, Nostradamus.
This has brought on a chorus of rejection from scientists worldwide that claim that NO storm could be directly attributed to either the global warming phenom OR the science... neither of which could support Gore's claims.
And this is supposed to be one of the left's "best". God help us. He could have been PRESIDENT.
The passing of Tim Russert brings to mind, for me, the importance of excellent journalism. Russert was one of the finest. While loving life, he would still grill your butt on anything that was the buzz... no free passes, and he understood that journalism was the 4th branch of the US democratic process.
Our US political process and the field of Journalism will sorely miss Tim Russert.
Paul Begala, bomb throwing liberal pundit and talk show man, recently made clear what the left truly thinks. And remember, the "left" is supposed to be the party that blacks should love and vote for.
Said Begala "We cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush."
I totally agree by the way. You cannot win with only black Americans. You CAN win with only eggheads, though...
This insinuation that African American support of Obama is the reason for Obama having ANY chance is correct. I think what Begala is saying is the same thing Clinton is saying, in a more veiled way.
And I think what Begala is trying to say is "Obama is propped up by an African American vote- and that is IT. He cannot win without it."
I agree... but I think it is a stupid to take that approach, or point out such a point of view, especially if you are a person from the party that claims (falsely) to represent the black community BEST.
