The Aftermath Of Hurricane Ike

This huge hurricane, Hurricane Ike, at its peak a 600-mile wide storm caused the following

What a disaster for those living along the Texas and Louisiana gulf coast. The sheer devastation and certain death is astounding. Many people left but as almost always, not enough took this storm of the century seriously and stayed behind. Why, I do not know.

The following links are to those groups that can provide some help to those whose lives have been changed forever:

Episcopal Relief and Development

The Salvation Army

The American Red Cross

They are but three groups that will be on the front lines as the Gulf Coast transitions from disaster to rebirth. And also, do not forget the pets that need all the help we can give them.

Houston Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals

May God be with you all on the Gulf Coast and remember that our thoughts and prayers and support are with you.

And Republicans Helped This Guy?

The comments of former Republican and senator Lincoln Chafee are no surprise.
I never understood why the Republican party put so much on trying to get this ingrate reelected in the first place.
Even in a liberal a state like Rhode Island, former Republican and senator Chafee could not win. Mr. Chafee's record was far to the left of the Republican center and well in the left on the Democrat center.
I never had doubts that Mr. Chafee would have switched parties if he had won reelection.
What a waste of time and money on the Republicans part.

NEVER FORGET

Today is Patriot Day, September 11, 2008. It is the seventh anniversary of the terror attacks of 9/11/01. It is a day to put aside all politics and divisiveness and unite in our efforts to defeat those who perpetuated these evil acts.
Nearly 3,000 people died in New York City, Washington D. C. and in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Those in Shanksville who died were in an airplane, flight United 93. The passengers in that plane knew that things were amiss and decided to stop the terrorists who were trying to fly that plane into a building in Washington, D. C. A possible target may have been the Capitol building or even the White House.
Today, let us remember those that died not only on 9/11, but those who have volunteered to take the fight to the front line. Those that are serving in the armed forces. That includes one of Sen. Joe Biden's sons and the oldest son of Gov. Sarah Palin, being deployed today.
May God Bless America.

Help The Animals In Pasadena California

If you are in the Pasadena, California area on October 11, come out to Brookside Park and take a walk around the Rose Bowl in the 10th annual Wiggle Waggle Walk.
It is a fundraiser that helps the Pasadena Humane Society raise money. The goal is $400,000 and at this writing, they are only at 43% or about $129,000.
The walk is only three miles around the famed Rose Bowl. And of course you can bring the love, or loves of your life, your dogs.
Mrs. rightviewfromtheleftcoast and I and Scout The Wonder Dog will be happy participants. And, it is something important for us for the Pasadena Humane Society is where we were blessed to attain Scout The Wonder Dog.
I encourage you to go to the website and help in any way that you can.

The Obama Meltdown Continues

For the Team Obama, it just keeps getting worse and worse. Classier and Classier. More Hollywood sycophants crawling over glass to announce their displeasure over the Republican vice-presidential nominee, the Saracuda, Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

Here is one from Roger Ebert, well known political analyst, er movie critic.

And how can you be her age and never have gone to Europe? ... Sarah Palin's travel record is that of a hopeless provincial. ... Palin is a shallow, chirpy person with those vaguely alarming eyeglasses. Now her fans all want a pair. Remember back when women wore glasses that departed their ears in plastic swoops and swirls? My theory is, anyone who wears glasses that look weird is telling me something I don't want to know. I trust the American people will see through Palin's facade, and save the Republic in November. The most damning indictment against her is that she considered herself a good choice to be a heartbeat away. That shows bad judgment

Well, I am 44 years old and I have never been to Europe. I guess I am one of those hopeless provincials. Alarming eyeglasses? And, did Gov. Saracuda actually say that she was a good choice to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

Ah, but it does not end there.

Political know-it-all Matt Damon compared the possibility of a President Saracuda to a bad Disney movie. Well, I do not know if Matt Dimwit has been in a bad Disney movie, but maybe he had a few knocks too many to the head in the Bourne Identity movies.

Really folks, it just keeps getting better and better.

This Carol Fowler, the chairman of the South Carolina Democrat party really steps into the doo-doo by saying the only reason that Gov. Saracuda is Sen. John "F--- You" McCain's running mate is because she has not had an abortion. On so many levels, it is disgusting. Oh, a quick question for Mrs. Fowler. Was Geraldine Ferraro put on the Walter Mondale ticket in 1984 because she had an abortion? But, the Fowler apple does not fall far from the tree. Her husband is Don Fowler, former Democrat National Chairman. He made the comment the weekend before the Republican National Convention that Hurricane Gustav was a sign from God that it would ruin the Republican confab.

And, because I just can not go on anymore, last but not least is an appearance from the Chosen One himself, Sen. Messiah Barack on the David Letterman show. I think that it would be the last place I would appear if I were Sen. Messiah Barack, but the guy just can not dig himself out of the hole with the infamous lipstick on a pig slam on Gov. Saracuda.

The baffling aspect of all of this is the fact that it seems to be centered around the Republican vice-presidential candidate. Not even at Sen. "F--- You" McCain, the Republican presidential nominee. The fear that the Democrats have over Gov. Saracuda is palpable. It shows that this is not a party and Sen. Messiah Barack are not ready to lead from the White House or congress.

The Obama Campaign In Total Meltdown

Who would have thought it less than two weeks ago that the secular Messiah's presidential hopes would be wallowing because the Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain went maverick and chose the Alaska governor, Sarah Palin, to be his running mate?

Yet, Sen. Messiah Barack, the Democrat presidential nominee and his minions just have not a clue as to how to handle the poise and character of Gov. Palin as opposed to the tackiness of many of their supporters.

Why even Sen. Messiah Barack found time to get into the act today in Virginia in what can only be called to two-front assault on the Republican ticket. Here is what Sen. Messiah Barack said:

"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig.""You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink.""We've had enough of the same old thing."

Hmm, did the secular Messiah just call Gov. Palin a pig? And Sen. "F--- You" McCain an old fish?I think he did. But remember, it is all nuance as us bitter, clinging yokels may not get it. If you watch the video link, I think that his crowd got it. As I am certain Sen. "F--- You" McCain and Gov. Palin did.

This is the topper of a relentless assault on the Republican vice-presidential candidate. It is unbelievable that the Democrats have gone into total meltdown.

How about Sen. Messiah Barack's bagman, er money guy, Howard Gutman on a total meltdown on Laura Ingraham's radio show last week? On the show, he lambasted Gov. Palin for putting her oldest daughter, Bristol Palin, on the world stage when she is a teenage, unwed, pregnant mom-to-be. It was so bad, Mr Gutman had no choice but to apologize.

Then, led by the Daily Kossacs and helped along by pitiful Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic, have been spreading rumor after rumor that has been shot down effectively. Much of the effective blow back has been led by Charlie Martin at Pajamas Media.

Of course there is the gaffe-a-day from the suddenly invisible Democrat vice-presidential candidate, Sen. Blowhard Joe Biden.

Today, he had a real classic.

Obviously, he had no clue that a political supporter, Missouri state senator Chuck Graham, was wheelchair-bound. Other wise, Sen. Blowhard Biden would not have asked him to stand up. Ah, here is a clue oh Sen. Blowhard Biden. If Sen. Graham could, he would stand up. And probably smack you in the chops for being such a moron. The video is priceless.

Why such a meltdown with over a month to go until election day?

Because, Sen. Messiah Barack is seeing the election beginning to slip away.

Almost every bit of polling data shows the Republican team pulling ahead nationwide and coming to even or ahead in key battleground states. Even if the USA Today/Gallup poll that shows Sen. McCain with a 54%-44% lead among likely voters is a bit of an outlier, consider that Rasmussen and Zogby are showing Sen. "F--- You" McCain and Gov. Saracuda pulling even or just over the so-called margin of error.

Is Sen. Messiah Barack having second thoughts about putting Sen. Blowhard Biden on the ticket? Well, too bad. It would be way too late to beg Sen. St. Hillary Clinton to come aboard. And why should she? After all, because of a couple of early primary/caucus season wins, he is the Democrat nominee and he is throwing this election away. No way that she climbs aboard the Titanic.

Since we can not talk about the lack of experience Sen. Messiah Barack has, we can point out that the judgement factor he likes to gloat about is, well, rather lacking. And this began with the infamous Berlin speech and the not taking public financing the rest of the election season. Also, now more than obvious, the picking of Sen. Blowhard Biden for number two and the fiasco of an announcement that turned out to be.

Here is why I believe that Team Messiah is in panic mode. Because there is no reason for the top of the Democrat ticket to be denigrating the bottom of the Republican ticket. The meltdown continues. Oh, but take a look at this crowd for a McCain/Palin rally in Ohio. Sen. Messiah Barack may soon wished that he had these kind of crowds as he once did.

Now Who's Drawing The Crowds?

This is just too good to be true. And it must be true because it is on the front page of The New York Times. And, remember, The Times has the little box that says in black and white, "All the news that's fit to print.
In this case it is the two photos.
Of course we see the Democrat presidential nominee, Sen. Messiah Barack looking like he is looking for the cow vote in a barn. I know it is not the largest photo, but I see so few people. Must make Sen. Messiah Barack think that he is on the senate floor in Washington.
The bottom photo is of a crowd as far as the eye can see.
And who are they coming to see? I know it is hard to believe but it is the Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain and his running mate, Gov. Saracuda Palin.
What happened?
Well, Sen. "F--- You" McCain did what Sen. Messiah Barack could not do.
Sen "F--- You" McCain doubled-down on change and went West. Way West. He found in many ways a soul-mate on reform. And it does not hurt that Gov. Saracuda is an accomplished woman who has been able to raise a family and pursue a political life. And before anyone throws the "Look at Bristol Palin and how wonderful she turned out", here is something to think about. Most families in the United States are far from perfect. And, young Bristol's pregnancy is a contrast to her older brother, Track, who is entering the fight in the War Against Islamofacist Terror on Thursday, September 11, 2008, seven years after the attacks in New York City and Washington D. C.
Now, after 18 months of trying to tell the American people that he is the only one who can bring about change, many have doubts and are taking a look at the McCain/Palin ticket. It did not do Sen. Messiah Barack any favors that he chose one of the longest serving senators in Blowhard Joe Biden to be his running mate.
One wonders is this the beginning of the end of the Sen. Messiah Barack campaign? Is he just running out the clock, hoping that he can stave off the assault of McCain/Palin?
Another little tidbit in The Obama Times, er New York Times shows that Team Obama is now desperately trying to raise money from here to November. And yet, we have been told that the Messiah has such a network of donors. New ones every day! Hmm, maybe not quite as many as they have been saying.
All goes back to momentum and who has it now.
No doubt, like it or not Obamiacs, it is Sen. John "F--- You" McCain and his vice-presidential pick, Gov. Saracuda Palin of Alaska.
Photos do not lie. Even if it is in The New York Times!

BOUNCE!

It appears that the Republican presidential and vice-presidential nominees have gotten a huge bounce since the end of the Republican National Convention this past Thursday.

The largest bounce appears in the USA Today/Gallup poll which shows Sen. "F--- You" McCain and Gov. Palin leading the Democrat presidential and vice-presidential nominees, Sens. Messiah Barack Obama and Blowhard Joe Biden, 54% to 44% among likely voters.

The Zogby Poll, sometimes seen as not all that reputable, has the Republican team up, 50%-46%.

And the Rasmussen daily tracking poll has the race dead even at 48%-48%.

This is huge news and since the end of the GOP convention, Team Obama has been very much put of the defensive.

With new poll numbers at least on the presidential side beginning to favor Republicans, the congressional Republicans have to find a way to translate the momentum to their campaigns.

In a sense, the congressional GOP has to run this year like it is 1994.

Between that and the rejuvenated presidential hopes, this may not turn into a Democrat year after all.

Very interesting.

Hmm, Did Obama Have Another Slip Of The Tounge?

Very interesting! Today, on This Week with Democrat host George Stepanapolus, the Democrat presidential nominee, Sen. Messiah Barack Hussein Obama said something about his Muslim faith.
When you watch the short video, in a non-shalant manner, Mr. Stephanapolus reminds. Sen. Messiah Barack Hussein Obama that he means his Christian faith. Then, Sen. Messiah Barack Hussein Obama has to explain the explanation.
Ol' cynical moi thinks one of two reasons.
Firstly, once again, unless I missed it, there was no teleprompter in the barn that the two men were conducting the interview. I do not think that there were cue cards!
Or, secondly, Sen. Messiah Barack Hussein Obama just had a slip o' the tounge. Or maybe he was telling the truth originally. The explanation of the explanation was just a cover.
I report, you decide!

The Marching Orders From John McCain

I have had my share of, oh, distress about the Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain.
Yes, I backed Mitt Romney. Hoped that once Mr. Romney dropped out of the race and Sen. "F--- You" McCain one the nomination, Mr. Romney would be tapped to be the number two on the ticket.
But, much to my dismay, Sen. "F--- You" McCain came from right field and introduced the United States to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and asked her to be his number two.
Once again, I got my grill cleaned by Sen. "F--- You" McCain.
Now, I really believe that Sen. "F--- You" McCain is going to win the White House.
And, these closing words from the Republican presidential nominee are what will get out the volunteers and those who have been sitting on the fence:

I'm going to fight for my cause every day as your President. I'm going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank Him: that I'm an American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on earth, and with hard work, strong faith and a little courage, great things are always within our reach. Fight with me. Fight with me.
Fight for what's right for our country.
Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.
Fight for our children's future.
Fight for justice and opportunity for all.
Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.
Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.
Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We're Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.
Thank you, and God Bless you.

For all that I have disagreed with our nominee, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain, it is this stirring call to arms that make me more than glad that he and Gov. Palin are running against the Messiah Machine.
Sen. John McCain loves the United States and last night, he showed it and I believe we will be seeing that in the next two months.
When the Messiah Machine hits at The GOP Duo, remember these word.
STAND UP AND FIGHT!

Oh, The Unbiased Oprah

Well, it appears that because the diva of daytime television talk, Oprah Wimpfrey, is scared of the big bad Saracuda, aka Alaska governor Sarah Palin. So frightened, that she does not want to have her on her blah, blah, blah afternoon gab fest.
It is another attempt to diminish Gov. Palin. The DDBMSOWN tried to embarass her right out of the race, but instead she turned the tables on them by showing those of us who had a little glimpse of her that she is all that.
And, of course, Miss Wimpfrey-yes, WIMPfrey, is an early supporter of "The One", Sen. Messiah Barack, the Democrat nominee for president.
So, what, Miss Wimpfrey is worried about something? Does she not think that the first female Republican candidate for vice-president is not a compelling enough story from the pure human angle? Or is she worried that the fringe supporters of The One will call for her to be boycotted? Will the Daily Kossacs storm the stage and have a cat-fight if Gov. Palin were on?
Please, do not write any comments that the DDBMSOWN is playing this whole thing down the middle. They are not. And when a host as powerful as Miss Wimpfrey can not have on someone from the other side with a compelling tale, well it is all that you need to know.

Obama's Got The Sweats!

And, Sen. Messiah Barack Obama should be sweating!
On Drudge it is being reported that the Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John " F--- You" McCain outdrew viewership to his acceptance speech by 500,000. And let us not forget that the McCain running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin outdrew viewership by nearly two-to-one over the Democrat vice-president running mate, Sen. Blowhard Biden.
And, according to the latest polling average at Real Clear Politics, Sen. Messiah Barack only has a two point average lead over Sen. "F--- You" McCain. And, according to CBS, the race is tied, 42%-42%.
We now have a real race and the Messiah stuttering his way though another one of his "town hall" forums. Too bad he will not join Sen. "F--- You" McCain and have some together.
The race is tightening and amazingly, it appears that the ol' warhorse, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain looks to be on the way to another big comeback. Much the way he came back to become the GOP presidential nominee in the first place.

The Left Really Believes Obama Is Their Reagan

I have been really thinking about this throughout the death march of this election season and it has occurred to me that the left has so manufactured their candidate, Sen. Messiah Barack Hussein Obama, they really believe that they have finally gotten their Ronald Reagan.
What it shows is that the left does not realize that former president Reagan was not manufactured but the real deal. They really, truly believe that Mr. Reagan was some Hollywood creation. That he had no ideas of his own. That he just simply read a script. And yet, remember this is the left and they do not realize what damage they are doing, they have channelled that into Sen. Messiah Barack.
Sen. Messiah Barack has written not one, but two tomes to his self-discovery. And he used those tomes to win a state senate seat in Illinois and a senate seat to Washington. And, do not forget that he also used a speech to the Democrat National Convention in 2004 to puff his credentials up. However, what are his credentials? What does he really believe in? And as an elected senator, what can he say he has done to effect what he believes in?
Here is a bit about Mr. Reagan.
Long before he became governor of California, he was the multi-elected president of the Screen Actors Guild labor union. It was there that Mr. Reagan saw the widespread communist influence. It made him rethink what he believed in and led to his political transformation from New Deal Democrat to conservative Republican.
When Mr. Reagan ran for governor of California in 1966, he was dismissed as a washed-up B-movie actor. Mr. Reagan smiled and just kept plugging along, explaining his vision to anyone who would listen. And he won that election in a landslide and a second term in 1970.
In 1976, Mr. Reagan gave a serious challenge to a sitting president in Gerald Ford. And, he almost won the GOP nomination. But, alas, he lost that nomination. While plotting for 1980, he went to doing radio commentaries, which we know were almost all written by Mr. Reagan himself.
After the win in 1980, the rest in history.
So, what has Sen. Messiah Barack really done and what does he really think?
Sure, he has boasted about being a "community organizer" and yet never quite explained what that really is. And he has talked about working as an attorney in a civil rights law firm.
But again, does Sen. Messiah Barack really have an ideology or is he just a shallow, Hollywood production?
At some level, the latter is true.
Look at what happens when Sen. Messiah Barack is off the teleprompter. He stutters and stammers and tries to change the subject. When the occasional reporter does ask a tough question, he tries to change the subject.
At the end of the day, the left thinks that Mr. Reagan just read a script and flash cards. That he was just a front man for the conservative movement. And, that is what they think that they found in Sen. Messiah Barack.
Why do you think that his handlers do not want to have those Town Halls with the Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain? Because Sen. Messiah Barack would have to answer questions. And, if he is the empty suit that the left believes Mr. Reagan was, well then he can not really answer tough questions.
The left really believes that all Mr. Reagan did was a lot of stagecraft. Why do you think that they set up the lofty columns and had Sen. Messiah Barack deliver his acceptance speech at a football stadium? Because they really believe that the conservative "handlers" did that with Mr. Reagan.
The sad truth is that the American left has had and does not have any respect for Mr. Reagan. They still think that he was an empty suit reading off a teleprompter and not having a thought of his own.
And, the American left latched on to a smooth-talker in Sen. Messiah Barack and have tried this cynicism from their perspective.
The American people are beginning to see through it and with the grand-slam speech by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and with another maverick in Sen. John "F--- You" McCain, they are going to be surprised that authentic people beat an empty suit anytime.

The Sarah Palin Hatrick

Last night was the speech of the politcal season as the Republican vice-presidential nominee, Alaska governor, Sarah Pailn, took to the stage in St. Paul, Minnesota and scored a hatrick and showed the United States and the world that she is one tough "hockey mom"!
There was so much in the speech last night, but I want to highlight five aspects of the speech:

It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves.
With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost - there was no hope for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war.
But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off.
They overlooked the caliber of the man himself - the determination, resolve, and sheer guts of Senator John McCain. The voters knew better.
And maybe that's because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership ... a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.
Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by.

And, I was one of them that counted ol' Johnny Mac out. What little did I know!

My family is proud of both of them and of all the fine men and women serving the country in uniform. Track is the eldest of our five children.
In our family, it's two boys and three girls in between - my strong and kind-hearted daughters Bristol, Willow, and Piper.
And in April, my husband Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. From the inside, no family ever seems typical.
That's how it is with us.
Our family has the same ups and downs as any other ... the same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge.
And children with special needs inspire a special love.
To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters.
I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House. Todd is a story all by himself.
He's a lifelong commercial fisherman ... a production operator in the oil fields of Alaska's North Slope ... a proud member of the United Steel Workers' Union ... and world champion snow machine racer.

Gov. Palin gaves us the family background and ever so lightly addressed the fact that her family is not all that different than yours and mine. Gov. Palin did not and should not have addressed the fact that her oldest daughter, Bristol Palin, is pregnant with a child out of wedlock. Also, Gov. Palin made a great case that children with special needs are not discards. By mentioning her baby as one with Down Syndrome, she made a case for life without having to beat anyone over the head that she is pro-life.

I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids' public education better.
When I ran for city council, I didn't need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too.
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown.
And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves.
I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening.
We tend to prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.

Nice shot at the Democrat presidential nominee, Sen. Messiah Barack Obama. What Gov. Palin reminded us last night is that Sen. Messiah Barack is an elitist. Yes, He is. Sen. Messiah Barack never really dismissed the infamous remarks to his elite benefactors at a soiree in San Francisco earlier in the campaign season. Gov. Palin reminded us that people can get involved, and govern for the right reasons, not just to add another office to their political resume.

But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up.
And in short order we put the government of our state back on the side of the people.
I came to office promising major ethics reform, to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is the law.
While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for.
That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.
I also drive myself to work.
And I thought we could muddle through without the governor's personal chef - although I've got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her. I came to office promising to control spending - by request if possible and by veto if necessary.
Senator McCain also promises to use the power of veto in defense of the public interest - and as a chief executive, I can assure you it works.
Our state budget is under control.
We have a surplus.
And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes.
I suspended the state fuel tax, and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.
I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere.
If our state wanted a bridge, we'd build it ourselves. When oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged - directly to the people of Alaska.
And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources.
As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.

A great dovetail into the fact and reality that Gov. Palin, in those 18 months as governor has some very major accomplishments. Sen. Messiah Barack Obama can not point to one piece of legislation that he authored, led the fight for or any reform. And that also is a direct shot into the grill of the Democrat vice-presidential nominee, Sen. Blowhard Biden. In 35 years as a senator, he is just, well a blowhard and certainly not a reformer.

For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words.
For a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
If character is the measure in this election ... and hope the theme ... and change the goal we share, then I ask you to join our cause. Join our cause and help America elect a great man as the next president of the United States.
Thank you all, and may God bless America.

Gov. Palin in those two line about words and deeds layed out the case for the McCain/Palin campaign. And once again, as she did throughout the speech, she took right to Sens. Messiah Barack Obama and Blowhard Biden. And, in retrospect, I do not see how any of the other potential vice-presidential candidates could have done it the way that she did. As a "pitbull with lipstick" as she put it during the speech.
What Gov. Sarah Palin did last night was just dumbfound the DDBMSOWN and make them look like the petualant trolls that they are. And, Gov. Palin spoke to many Americans of all walks of life. She showed that a small-town girl can make good and she did it through hard work and on her own, not being married to a governor who became president.
Sen. John "F--- You" McCain made the best decision of his political carreer when he asked Gov. Palin to join him on the ticket. And, she will make a great vice-president.

The Left Smears And A Great, Decent Family

I would never link to the Daily Kos, but it is the ridiculous rumor, outright lie, that was posted over this past weekend that made Republican presumptive vice-presidential nominee, Gov. Sarah Palin, release the following statement:

ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, Sarah and Todd Palin issued the following statement regarding today's Reuters story:
"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.
"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."

Now, if you read the venomous smear job of Kos blogger and her allies such as The Atlantic's neurotic homosexual, Andrew Sullivan, you will think that it is some trashy television novella.
The fact that they, in true Joseph Goebbels fashion, create a big lie to force a vice-presidential candidate to tell the world something that should be between her and her family and yes, God.
I mean, these venomous beings were grouping at a rumor that was looked into by the Anchorage Daily News about the baby that Gov. Palin was carrying. The Daily News did not get the two-plus-two-equals-four out of the investigation and correctly dropped it. And, yes Virginia, there is a photo of a rather pregnant-looking Gov. Palin.
No matter for the venom. If the lie begets the truth, no problem.
I would rather spend the rest of this post about the amazing strength and courage of 17-year-old Bristol Palin and her parents, Sarah and Todd and the family.
So many young girls could not go to their parents and tell them that they got pregnant. For a lot of reasons. But, while young Bristol did have premarital sex, she seemed to be able to go to her parents and talk to them. I am certain it is not the kind of news that they wanted to hear. No parent wants to hear that their daughter is pregnant and unmarried. And in this case, a high-school senior.
I am not privy to the conversations that the family had. None of us were nor should we be.
But, one has to think that young Bristol wanted to follow the example of her mother, who went against all modern medical advice and brought a fifth child into the world. A boy born with Down Syndrome. And yes classy Kossacs, it really is Gov. Palin's baby!
It takes a very strong and yes, very mature young girl to make that kind of life-altering decision. And, it appears that the baby's father, Levi Johnston, is willing to take the also life-altering step and be responsible to marry young Bristol.
What is most important is the support and love of Bristol Palin's parents. Being a sitting governor that takes on the establishment leaves her open to any seemingly not kosher kind of event, such as a daughter becoming pregnant before marriage. But, Gov. Palin did not buckle and maybe tell Bristol to get an abortion. No, she put her faith into practice. And, while Bristol did make the mistake of having premarital sex, the end result, God willing, will be a beautiful baby. Just like Bristol's baby brother, Trig.
Put it this way. While the sex was not the ideal, outside of marriage, the end result will be that Bristol does not get an abortion. She brings a baby into the world. A baby that may grow up to be a leader, just like Grandma Sarah.
A real lesson here is that parents must be able to talk with their children. Children do make mistakes. Sometimes real humdingers. But, if they are afraid to come to you, the ones that brought them into the world with God's help, the mistake can deteriorate into something much worse. As a step parent, and even though my stepson will be 28 this year, I totally understand that sometimes, we do not want to even listen to our children. But, we have to. They have to be able to come to us no matter what.
So, Kossacs are disgusting, venomous freaks who have nothing better to do than create a scandal where there is none. And, they do not care who they may hurt in the process. Its politics, after all and all is fair game to these scum.
Sarah and Todd Palin are amazing parents. They were trusted enough by Bristol Palin that they were told about something that would make many a parent go off the deep end. And, their first reaction may have been that. But, they did not turn on their daughter. Instead they gave her love and support. And she will need that. And her soon to be husband, Levi Johnston.

Don't Forget The Animals In Hurricane Gustav's Path

In wake of the impending Hurricane Gustav making landfall sometime later today, I write this to all who read this to not forget the animals that may be left behind in the wake of the hurricane.
We humans should know what to do to prepare for these kind of disasters. But, our pets do not.
The pet owners of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama will need all of our help.
The great news is that it appears that evacuations are taking into account people's pets and they are being allowed to go with their owners to evacuation centers. A very positive step indeed.
There were a great deal of errors made during Hurricane Katrina a mere three years ago. Not letting many people take their animals, in many cases the only family that these people had, was one of the reasons many stayed behind. To protect their member of the family.
Thankfully, one of those errors has been rectified.
Now, we all should pray for all in the affected areas and that includes people's animals.

Side By Side, Palin Vs. Obama

Here is one of those side by side charts that compares the Republican vice-presidential candidate, Gov. Sarah Palin and the Democrat presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama.
It is bound to drive the lefties insane. Judging by what I have been reading in the blogosphere, some of these lefties need to get their rabies shots. BTW, that is NOT for you Right Wing Snarkle! You are genuinely mild in comparison.
Since being mayor of a "small town" does not seem to matter to the Obamiacs, let us go down the list of those successful, big city Democrat mayors.
I can start right here in California.
San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom. He is really special on my list of successful Democrat big-city mayors. You know how he solves the illegal immigration problem? He dumps convicted illegal alien criminals in other counties in California. Until he gets caught. Then he does the "all the others do the same thing" defense. Oh yes, it is the same Mayor Newsom who takes his marriage vows so seriously, ask the former Mrs. Newson, Kimberly Giulfoyle, that he led the fight to have the California state supreme court to find a mythical right for same-sex marriage.
Oh, and let me tell you about the homeless in San Francisco. Why, they have more rights than, well illegal aliens. That's right. It is a sanctuary city!
Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villar another winner. He gets more face time than, well, President Bush. Oh. and he too thinks a sanctuary city is just swell. And, he is pushing for one of those county-wide sales tax hikes. To fund transportation projects in the CITY OF LOS ANGELES! So, since there are not enough people to tax in the city of Los Angeles, spread it out over the whole county.
Chicago mayor Richard Daley. Wait, that would be a whole post in and of itself. Corruption begets corruption. A Daley begets another Daley. And the corruption stays the same. Correct me if I am wrong, but did not a certain state senator come from Chicago? Why of course, Barack Obama! Enough said.
Two of my personal favorites are New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin of Hurricane Katrina fame. As I write this another hurricane is potentially barrelling onto New Orleans. Another bad one. This is the same mayor that let school buses sit there during the evacuation phase before Katrina and did nothing to get those out of harms way before the storm hit. Then the storm hit and all hell broke loose. He lost any control of the many people trapped in the Louisiana Superdome and the Convention Center. While not many of the sensational events did occur, it was clear that this man was way in over his head. And yet, this guy gets REELECTED! Amazing!
The top o' the list has to be the "hip-hop" mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick. I mean, he is a great dresser, yet he just does not know how to keep his lies straight. And by golly, while jobs and businesses in droves leave Detroit, once one of the United States largest cities, he finds time to be hookin' up and trying to cover his tracks. I mean, this guy has been in jail not once, but twice. Way to go, man.
Yea, I guess I kind of like "small town" mayors who stick to business, cut taxes and still provide services. Wasilla, Alaska may not be Los Angeles, but somehow it has been a truly great place to live and work. And some of that is the direct result of leadership provided by former mayor Sarah Palin. Hmm, what did Barack Obama do during all of that "community organizing"?

Interesting How Palin And Obama Won Elections

My blogging friends at Gay Patriot show in an interesting way that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Barack Obama got to where they are in their respected elections.
As noted, Sen. Obama was busy knocking people off the ballot in his very first race for the Illinois senate seat that he won in 1996. In the same year, Mrs. Palin had already been a two-term member of the Wasilla city council. She took on a incumbent mayor and won.
Jump ahead to 2004 for Sen. Obama. Somehow, the Chicago Tribune found it rather important to force the sealed divorce records of Republican candidate Jack Ryan. And a judge agreed that the records should be unsealed. And we know that Mr. Ryan was into some bizarre stuff and the former Mrs. Ryan, actress Jeri Ryan, was not. Then a desperate Illinois Republican party turned to Alan Keyes and he turned out to be, well, beyond not ready for prime time. Sen. Obama won in a rout.
In 2006, Mrs. rightviewfromtheleftcoast and I were in Alaska and saw all these Palin for governor signs. I knew that then the current governor, Frank Murkowski was in real political trouble. And this upstart not only beat him in a three-way race, but went on to beat the very popular former Democrat governor, Tony Knowles, in a really bad election year for Republicans.
Bottom line, on that alone Gov. Palin shows that she is tough and ready to take on any and all comers. Sen. Obama is one who weasels and finds ways to knock off opponents more or less on what we used to call dirty tricks.
And, once again for all those who think that all the criticism against Sen. Obama is on experience only. It is judgement and ideology. And, he is wrong on both. Gov. Palin is right on both.

Conservative/Republican Elites Just Do Not Get It

To be a conservative Republican is to sometimes put up with the kind of elitism offered by the likes of David Frum of National Review.
Mr. Frum's take on Sen. "F--- You" McCain's choice of Alaska governor Sarah Palin reads pretty much right out of the original Team Messiah Barack's handbook. It is the denigrating of the fact that Gov. Palin was mayor of a "small town", Wasilla, Alaska, before she eventually became the first woman governor of Alaska.
Let me ask Mr. Frum what was more qualified about former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani? He ran for the Republican nomination for president. Based quite a large part on his record as mayor of New York City. And, if memory serves correctly, you sir were all in on his very failed run for the Republican presidential nod.? I do believe so.
But, alas, Mr. Frum's point of view is not a lonely one among conservative Republican elites.
Another National Reviewer, Richard Brookhiser is not very high on the Maverick's choice of Gov. Palin.
They are but two examples.
The problem is that these are people who do not live in the real world. They are inoculated from the real issues that many Americans like Gov. Palin face every day.
Gov. Palin is the example of an American who took her duties as an American very seriously. She started as a PTA mom and ended up as the governor of Alaska. And, for being a "small-town" mayor, she won that post twice. And, cut taxes and improved vital government services. Not bad for a growing "small town".
Gov. Palin, to quote the Democrat candidate for vice-president, Sen. Blowhard Biden, is a storybook life, man!
The question should not be experience. It should be where the candidates stand on issues. And do they have enough knowledge on issues to actually explain and implement. And, the record shows that Gov. Palin has that kind of knowledge, explains well and implements. Sen. Messiah
Barack does not. I am still waiting for the major piece of legislation that he has authored and shepherded through the senate, house, conference committee and to the president for signature. Events are what make or break many a presidency. Ask President Lyndon Johnson. He won a landslide in 1964 and could not even run again in 1968 because the events of Vietnam paralyzed his presidency. It is also how a president reacts to events. Take President Carter. His reaction to the Iranian hostage fiasco, high inflation, interest rates, gas shortages is what eventually did him in. President Reagan felt so strongly about aiding the Nicaragua Contra rebels that he was willing to circumvent a law banning such direct and or indirect aid to the Contras fighting communist Sandinista rule in the 1980s. It really did almost cost his presidency because he gave underlings, intentionally or unintentionally, the OK to sell arms illegally to Iran then they sold to the Contra rebels.
You see, it is the fact that every candidate for president can only promise so much and events, not policies, sometime end up dictating the course of a four-year term.
But, for Sen. "F--- You" McCain, he felt that a young Turk in Gov. Palin is the one that can be that potential leader. And that is what the American dream is all about.
It is a shame when some of our own do not get that reality.

Stay Classy Dems In The Face Of A Potential Disaster

It really is amazing how pathetic the far-left in the United States has become that they will praise God that a hurricane may fall once again in New Orleans and that it will affect the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Led by the fat pig propagandist, Michael Moore, he really believes that God is behind this potential disaster. Because it may have some effect on whether or not a political convention will go on or not.
Not to be outdone, a current South Carolina Democrat congressman, John Spratt and Democrat
National Committee Chairman, Don Fowler, groused on how wonderful it would be if Hurricane Gustav continues its course and slams on the gulf coast. In their sick, demented minds, of course once again in New Orleans. Of course in their sick and demented minds, this can only help the Democrats for once again they will say that any disaster will be the fault of President Bush.
Let us go back three years to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
It was the blatant incompetence of the New Orleans mayor, Ray Nagin, and the then governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco. Oh, both are Democrats. The mayor for not getting people out of New Orleans on a slew of available school buses. The governor for not accepting federal assistance offered by the eeevvviiiilllll President Bush before the hurricane hit the gulf coast.
But no matter.
Mayor Nagin, who amazingly was reelected after his incompetence, did his best Alfred E. Neumann, "What? Me Worry?!" As did then governor Blanco. They twisted and turned and blamed President Bush for not acting fast enough to offer federal assistance. Again, President Bush offered it before the hurricane hit landfall. Again, no matter.
While people were out and out lying about how terrible things had become in New Orleans, especially in the battered Louisiana Superdome and the New Orleans convention center, it just led people to believe all the stories of rape, murder and mayhem. Which we later found out did not happen. Once again, no matter. The narrative was set and, by golly, it was all President Bush's fault. And, the narrative stuck.
The real story that Hurricane Katrina exposed is that the corrupt politics of New Orleans led to make a situation worse than it had to be. The tragedy of the people of the Lower Ninth Ward is that they have been stuck in poverty because the city government has done nothing to make their lives better by making it possible to own their own homes. To protect the citizens so businesses would be attracted there and bring all boats up.
But, that is all the fault of one President George W. Bush, by golly!
Well, for the doom and glee Democrat crowd, one thing that happened as a direct result of the Hurricane and subsequent incompetence was that the good people of Louisiana elected a new governor. One Bobby Jindal. A Republican.
And, as this post is being typed, he is taking charge and making sure that there are no problems. Gov. Jindal is making sure that New Orleans has all that it needs in the way of transportation and the like to make sure that all that want or can are taken out of the potential path of destruction. Something former Gov. Blanco should have done better and especially Mayor Nagin.
Now that you have the history of what really happened because of Hurricane Katrina, know this about the current state of affairs in the Democrat party. They can only succeed when there are bad things that happen and they can somehow blame the Republicans. The fat pig propagandist, the congressman and the Democrat National Committee chairman just are honest. Remember that in November if one is really thinking of giving these sick, demented people any more power than they already have.

Mark Steyn's Take On Gov. Palin

Once again, author and conservative racounter Mark Steyn is right on the money why Sen. John "F--- You" McCain made a great choice for his number two in Alaska govenor, Sarah Palin.
I love Mr. Steyn's reference to the gun-totting Miss Wasilla!
Read the whole thing!

WOW!

The above says it all.

Sen. John "F--- You" McCain once again earned his status as the original maverick when he defied the odds and asked the very popular Alaska governor, Sarah Palin, to be his running mate.

There is sooooo much to write about this historic moment in the history of the Republican party and the United States. It may take a couple of posts.

But, I was mildly disappointed last night when retiring for the evening and it seemed that Mitt Romney was not going to be Sen. "F--- You" McCain's choice for the vice-presidential nod.

When I awoke this morning and heard that it was going to be Gov. Palin, I nearly dropped my breakfast! I could not believe that Sen. "F--- You" McCain would finally send a big "F--- You" to the Democrats by not only naming the first woman to be on a Republican ticket. But she is not a St. Hillary clone. Gov. Palin is her own woman and did not get where she is on the back of a husband who was president.

What makes this choice very special to me is not just that she is very much pro-life. She talks the talk and walks the walk.

When she was pregnant with her and husband, Todd's, fifth child, she was told that he would be born with Down Syndrome. Gov. Palin could have ended the pregnancy right then and there but chose not to. Gov. Palin chose life and brought now four-month old Trig Palin into the world. It had to be the most difficult decision in her and her husband's life. And, without a doubt it was not made lightly.

On the serious issues of the day, Gov. Palin ran as and has governed as a conservative reformer.

Gov. Palin killed the infamous "bridge to nowhere" that all but ended the Republican 12 year hold on the House of Representatives. Gov. Palin has cut wasteful government spending. Some of what she has done is symbolic, but it is very important symbolism.

What Gov. Palin brings is a conservative future for the Republican party. Not a grumpy one but a lot like another Republican maverick-Ronald Reagan.
Yea, I know. A lot of people do not realize today but Mr. Reagan when he first ran for governor of California in 1966 was a lot like Sen. "F--- You" McCain. Going against the moderate-liberal wing that had dominated the party since the middle of the FDR years, Mr. Reagan not only won the Republican nomination but crushed a grand ol' tax and spend Dem, Gov. Pat Brown. By a million votes.

With Gov. Palin, and a McCain/Palin victory, she will be the future of the Republican party. And, that is what in part provoked the original maverick into surprising us all one more time.

The photo says it all. "Uhhh" "Change".

Do You Expect This On The September 4, 2008 Los Angeles Times

It is a really great front page of the Thursday, August 28, 2008 Los Angeles Times. Really it is. I mean, the watercolor looking drawing of the Democrat nominee for president, Sen. Messiah Barack. Makes me almost have a tear down my eye. NOT!

Come on, it is just another reason to add to the DDBMSOWN in the tank for the Chosen One.

I know that the Decatur Daily from Alabama is a bit small, but it is the hokey drawing of Sen. Messiah Barack with the word

PROGRESS

Of course, America's Great Newspaper, the New York Post says it all. All adulation, all the time for the Chosen One and his shlump, Sen. Blowhard Biden.

Good Lord, this has just got to stop!

Maybe next week when the Republicans meet in St. Paul to nominate Sen. John "F--- You" McCain, it can be shown how adults go about the process.

To be clear, this post is not to take away from the reality that it is historic that a major American political party has nominated a black American to be the nominee for president. It does show that yes, it can be done finally!

It is the rank adulation of the Chosen One. We still do not really know what makes him different than say, oh Bill Clinton, the last Democrat president. Or other than slamming Sen. "F--- You" McCain and the Republicans.

Maybe that could be an assignment for the DDBMSOWNers in the next two months. Instead of beautiful drawings and God-like adulation.

If You Could Vote For A Past President In This Election, Who Would It Be

It is very interesting to see this poll over at Instapundit about which former president, since Ike, would you vote for if you could today.
The surprise is not that Ronald Reagan is ahead. But it is a landslide! Mr. Reagan would be the choice of 82% of the 8,773 respondents so far.
A real surprise is that Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton both have a rip-roaring two percent each. But, Mr. Nixon has more actual votes than does Mr. Clinton. And right after his wondrous speech at the coronation of the Chosen One last night in Denver!
I think that it shows people are hungry for real, authentic leadership. That was what Mr. Reagan showed as governor of California and as president of the United States.
One of the reasons a lot of people seem drawn to Sen. Messiah Barack is that he projects leadership but does not have the real gravitas that Mr. Reagan had.
Mr. Reagan was a real thinker, a rarity in politics in any age. He was really delving into the virtues of democracy vs. communism. From the time he lost the GOP nomination in 1976 until he ran again in 1980, Mr. Reagan was writing and giving radio commentaries on all subjects.
Real leadership, that of Ronald Reagan, comes around so few times in history.
That is why Mr. Reagan is leading this poll. The American people remember the time that Mr. Reagan was president. The fact is that he made us not just believe in the American dream but live it.
Even when this election is over, who ever wins, we will still be looking for the kind of leadership of Ronald Reagan's. And still not get it.

Classy Chris Matthews. . .NOT!

Well, MSNBC windbag Chris "Thrill Up My Leg" Matthews unloaded on not one but two prominent black members of the Bush cabinet as "showcase appointments", not that they earned it like the crowned messiah tonight, Sen. Messiah Barack Hussein Obama.
In a diatribe on the network so few Americans really watch, Mr. "Thrill Up My Leg" Matthews said this little ditty about former Secretary of State, Colin Powell and current Secretary of State, Condolezza Rice:

Again he [Barack Obama] carries with him the history of tonight. And it's important to point out, as we have not so far, Barack Obama was not given this nomination, he won it. He was not offered a nice title like Secretary of State, like Condoleezza Rice got from the Republicans. He was not offered the title of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs as Colin Powell was, or Secretary of State. He won the nomination of a Democratic Party voting together. He defeated all other opponents and took the prize and took the leadership. He is the chosen leader of the Democratic Party.

Hey, Mr. "Thrill Up My Leg" Matthews, I have a news flash for you. The real reason that Sen. Messiah Barack is the Democrat presidential nominee is because of a neat little, and very undemocratic, trick called "Superdelegates".
Sen. Messiah Barack was barely 100 voted delegates ahead of Sen. St. Hillary Clinton at the end of the primary/caucus season in June. Even the real number of how many delegates he was really ahead I would question given to some silliness like people actually voting in a Texas primary and then after the polls closed, a caucus took place. Sen. St. Hillary won the primary, but Sen. Messiah Barack won the caucus. As it turned out, due to another neat trick, proportional distribution of delegates, Sen. Messiah Barack and Sen. St. Hillary essentially walked out of Texas with a split.
Once the primary/caucus season ended, and Sen. Messiah Barack seemed to be ahead in voted delegates, a flood of "Superdelegates" came over to the Chosen One and that sealed Sen. St. Hillary's fate.
Sorry for the digression, but it illustrates the point that the Dinosaur, Drive-By, Mainstream, Obama-Worshiping Media can not wrap their heads around. If there was not a fix, the way the delegates were distributed in the first place, it would have been Sen. St. Hillary.
The fact that Mr. "Thrill Up My Leg" denigrates an army general in Mr. Powell and a real academic in Miss Rice shows that he is nothing more than an ignorant fool, and a tool of the Chosen One.
Mr. Powell went into the army and worked his way up and became chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. Mr. Powell also served as National Security Advisor to President George H. W. Bush. Then President George W. Bush appointed Mr. Powell as Secretary of State. I think that he actually earned it.
There is a similar narrative for Miss Rice. She rose in academia as the Provost at Stanford University. She also was a National Security Advisor and then replaced Mr. Powell at the State Department under the current President Bush.
What hard work did Sen. Messiah Barack do? Community organizing? I think that is AKA left-wing agitating.
No, Mr. Powell and Miss Rice are two of the most respected black Americans ever to serve in government. Even at this moment, many Americans wish that Mr. Powell could be Sen. John "F--- You" McCain's running mate. Hell, many wished that Mr. Powell was the Republican presidential nominee!
I have to say, Chris "Thrill Up My Leg" Matthews has shown nothing but contempt for a lot of black and non-black Americans with those comments.
I liked Mr "Thrill Up My Leg" Matthews a lot better when he was bashing former President Clinton!

More Mind-Numbing Veep Rumors

UGH! Here we go again! Once again, everyone is speculating on Republican presumptive presidential nominee, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain's running mate.
Here is one from Roll Call that seems to indicate it is Mitt Romney.
But wait, here is one from Townhall that says Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty is cancelling all interviews today. Too bad that is not accuarate for as I write this, Mr. Pawlenty is talking to radio talker Michael Medved.
I write this, begging this. STOP! When Sen. "F--- You" McCain makes his choice, it will be better than the way the Democrat nominee, Sen. Messiah Barack, chose Sen. Blowhard Biden for his number two. A 3 a.m. text to supporters?! Please!
We will all find out shortly so relax and stop the head fakes!

I THINK That Mitt's The Man

Ok, ok, I did not go out of the box on Sen. Messiah Barack's eventual choice for his running mate, Sen. Blowhard Biden. I really thought that he was going to double-down and run all out on change and pick the Virginia governor, Tim Kaine.
So, I think that Sen. John "F--- You" McCain is not going to inflame the base and try to be cute by a half. No Sen. Joe Lieberman. No Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. No outliers.
It has come down to a couple of governors. One current and one ex-governor.
The current governor is Minnesota's Tim Pawlenty. He is an early McCain backer and never wavered. Sort of a wonk, may not be enough of an attack dog against Sen. Blowhard Biden.
That leaves the former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. He was the only Republican to go right up in Sen. "F--- You" McCain's grill, so to speak. Thus, Mr. Romney fills several criteria.
One, he has a private-sector background. He has actually created wealth and jobs. And he was the governor of arguably the most liberal state in the nation, Massachusetts. Most important, he is not a senator and can easily fill the role as a Washington outsider. Imagine Sen. Blowhard Biden, a senator since Richard Nixon was president, trying to argue with Mr. Romney who would be a better Washington outsider.
Also, I have to think that Sen. "F--- You" McCain pays attention enough to the base to know that he has begun to be seen by most Republicans and defiantly conservatives as the best number two choice.
I would point to at least two online polls, one at National Review and one on AOL.com that show rank-and-file Republicans favor Mr. Romney.
Now, unless Sen. "F--- You" McCain is listening to the DDBMSOWM and those who do not have his best interests at heart, he could pull a surprise and pick a candidate out of thin air. And he could do that with his track record.
But, one thing about John McCain. He wants to win. He will do what it takes. And that is why he will not pick a fight with his base. Sen. McCain will choose Mitt Romney as his running mate.

Is Joe Scarborough FINALLY Tired Of MSNBC Bias?

Ahh, the irony!

MSNBC has decided that the only way it can finally break through the cable news haze dominated by the Fox News Channel is to become even more left-wing than much of the DDBMSOWM dares to be. Why else would this network put up with the worst sports reporter ever, Keith Olberman?

Anyway, it appears that one of the two token conservatives on the network, Joe Scarborough, has had enough and called out one of his colleagues, MSNBC hack, er reporter, David Shuster.

This little treat from Newsbusters shows that Mr. Shuster just came out and commented that Mr. Scarborough's "party", i.e. the Republican party mocks calls for a set timetable to withdraw combat troops from the Iraq theatre in the War Against Islamofacist Terror.

Mr. Scarborough had enough and called Mr. Shuster on the table about what political party he belonged to.

It was so right on. Mr. Shuster mocked that he was an "independent" and then Mr. Scarborough went on a rant about how everyone at his network were "independent"-you know in the wink-wink kind of way.

The problem that MSNBC and CNN have is that they do not realize why Fox News Channel is successful.

It is because they do not have token conservatives and or Republicans. They are right there, in the face of liberals and Democrats. The network strives at presenting both sides of a story. And it will attack stories that the other two cable news networks will not. Nor will their over-the-air brethren, ABC, CBS or NBC. And, for that reason Fox News Channel is some front for the Republican party. PLEASE!

MSNBC really thinks that Pat Buchanan is the mainstream of conservatism and or the Republican party. That is who they put up. As well as the former congressman, Mr. Scarborough. Now, his criticisms of the GOP are much more in the sense that they had strayed from conservative principles. Not that they should go to some conservative stone-age that Mr. Buchanan would like to see.

And CNN? Well, they are a refugee center for out-of-work Clintonistas like James Carville and Paul Begala. Enough said.

Maybe Mr. Scarborough will see the light and leave the abysmally left-wing network and let them go completely in the tank for the left and the Democrat party. At this point, he already a dead salmon that has swam upstream staying on that network.

I am glad that Mr. Scarborough had the courage to call out the smug Mr. Shuster. Tag team in a WWE grudge match, anyone?

The Rev. Mike Huckabee, Shut The Hell Up!

God Bless the former Arkansas governor, the Rev. Mike Huckabee. I mean, he can not hide his contempt for the former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney.
Now, the Rev. Mike has the nerve to say that Mr. Romney should have just ignored the Massachusetts supreme court decision that legalized same-sex marriage. In other words, the Rev. Mike is essentially saying that Mr. Romney should have done a George Wallace.
For those too young to remember, the Democrat former governor of Alabama, George Wallace, was an ardent segregationist. When he was ordered to desegregate the University of Alabama, he did not. He stood at the door shouting "Segregation Now, Segregation Forever!" Of course, and rightfully, it did not last forever.
This insidious feud that the Rev. Mike is trying to start with Mr. Romney goes back to the primary campaign. It is clear that the Rev. Mike is insanely jealous of the fact that Mr. Romney made a lot of money in the private sector. And, he is a religious bigot because he does not like the fact that Mr. Romney is a practicing Mormon. The Rev. Mike and his minions run around saying quite inflammatory things about Mormons and their religion.
It is bizarre because we are fighting a war against those that want to forcibly impose their version of Islam on the rest of the world. Yet, we have the Rev. Mike inciting a reaction when he "sheepishly" asks, of all people, a New York Times reporter if it is true that Mormons believe that Jesus Christ and Lucifer were brothers.
I have written many times that I am not a Mormon and have no intention of becoming one. Yet, someone like Mr. Romney agrees with my position on the "social" issues I believe in. And, I thought that he would make a great president. Still do. I want Sen. John "F--- You" McCain to choose him for the second spot on the GOP ticket.
But, for some reason, the Rev. Mike keeps shooting it down. He brings up tired, old objections.
So, let us examine the fact that when the Rev. Mike was governor of Arkansas, he had a chance to "ignore" court rulings that he did not like.
The Arkansas supreme court ordered that certain taxes be raised to pay for road improvements. There were apparently other rulings that "forced" the Gov. Rev. Mike to raise taxes. If he is one that believes in low or no taxes, why did he not ignore the court rulings? Because, when one examines the record of Gov. Rev. Mike, he really did not care all that much. And, get this, he said that the courts "forced" him to raise taxes.
Yet, this ignoramus says that Mr. Romney should have just gave the Massachusetts supreme court the middle finger?
What he leaves out is that Mr. Romney disagreed with the court decision and did all he could to try to get an initiative on the Massachusetts state ballot to have the people decide on the issue. And, why does not the same Rev. Mike have criticism of California governor, Benedict Arnold Schwarzenegger, for saying he would implement the same decision that was forced on here in the not so Golden State?
Sorry, Rev. Mike, but it is time to just shut the hell up on Mitt Romney and Mormons. You will get no where with the majority of Republicans and minimize yourself within the party. Please, just slither off the stage.
