“It is simply unrealistic to expect people to be responsible for their own education, health care, and retirement savings.”

Howard Dean

How soon we forget. The reason the Republicans have been in the majority for only twelve years is that voters across the political spectrum were fed up with the forty year iron grip that the Democrats had on the legislature. This reign of terror caused massive economic downturns, unemployment, loss of industries, increases in taxes on the Middle Class and especially Middle Class retirees, benefit cuts to veterans and senior citizens, and racial warfare over ridiculous policies like affirmative action; just to name a few.

Diversity, multi-cultureless, and secular humanism were shoved down our throats against our wills. It is not OK to force feed geese and ducks for fois gras, but it is OK to force feed people beliefs which are contrary to cultures, traditions, and the Constitution.

The Democrats are real big on social engineering and have no intellect or intelligence regarding simple economics. As to National Security, during their forty years in power, they cut military spending, eviscerated the Intelligence and National Security apparatus, and negotiated with terrorists and terrorist organizations causing the problems we have today. The Democrats are short term, political expedient problem solvers. They never consider the long term effects of their social, economic, or security solutions. Fix it now, spend the money and take it from some place else. The Republicans believe in political effectiveness.

The Democrats believe in equal outcome over equality, libertine over liberty, forced indoctrination over freedom, and false wealth redistribution through regressive taxation over true wealth creation. They believe in oppression instead of opportunity; welfare is oppression. They believe in penalization over incentives. Before the Republicans took over twelve years ago, the country was heading for economic, cultural, and moral bankruptcy. If the Democrats win, it will happen. The Democrats practice the high art of hypocrisy. When they commit an egregious error in judgment, it is an honest mistake. When the Republicans do something similar, it is a scandal.

The Republicans have shot themselves in the foot over some issues, but in the long run, I would rather pay lower taxes, feel secure, and be able to practice my freedoms guaranteed under the US Constitution, not the UN or EU Constitutions. I would want to pass my already taxed once wealth over to my children with no further penalty. I want to live in freedom and liberty to openly practice the traditions embedded in our great Judeo-Christian Heritage; not the made up fantasy traditions and pseudo culture the Democrats would force us to celebrate. I want to live in a safe and secure environment with the full knowledge that if we are threatened, the preemption or retaliation will be swift, brutal, effective, and send the message that were are strong and tough.

I want to live in a country where if you play by the rules, the world is your oyster, and if you break the rules you pay the price. I want to live in a country where each individual has worth, value, and dignity. A country where opportunity is unlimited by political interference and where tradition and culture is practiced without political intolerance.

I am a Republican.

The Nation Savages Limbaugh

The Nation is complaining, whining, and sniveling over Rush Limbaugh’s treatment of Michael J. Fox. Now I respect heir opinion and right to express it, but here is where they go off the rails:

Since Fox began speaking up in favor of candidates who support science over superstition…

All credible, multi-disciplinary scientific research so far has determined that stem cell research is voodoo science, just like Global Warming.

And this:

Fox's ads are fact-based. They reference the voting records, public statements and policy initiatives of the Democratic and Republican candidates he is talking about.

They voted against embryonic stem cell research because it is pseudo science, not because they are cruel, inhumane people. That is fact based. The science does not hold up. That is fact based.

Then they couch the argument over the abortion issue. Yeah, I know we are not supposed to use that dirty word, but that is what it is. This has nothing to do with abortion or anti- abortion. Embryonic stem cell research has proven ineffective and dangerous. There are better methods.

This is about one thing and one thing only. Special interest groups- lobbyists- who are acting on behalf of the laboratories and private corporations who want those millions or billions of dollars in federal money to make themselves rich. It is all about the money. The lobbyists get rich, the companies get rich, and no one gets cured.

Michael J. Fox is a shill. He is shilling for the labs, the corporations, and the Democrats. He is shilling for snake oil salesmen. The Nation is shilling for the most powerful of the Snake oil sales force, the Democratic Party.

The following was Emailed this afternoon to the President. I encourage readers to Email the President and show your support. With the election so near and so close, he can use the great numbers of letters to demonstrate real support for his programs, versus the pseudo scientific polls and media opposition.

Mr. President,

I have been listening to your speeches over the past week, especially to our troops at the Charleston AFB in North Carolina. Your love for our Military and your true concern for our National Security is truly awe inspiring. Your concern for the wounded and those we lost is a testament to your character.

The enemy we are fighting is different than any we have fought in the past. This fight against the terrorists will not end soon, and people should realize that. It will not end with victory in Iraq or Afghanistan. I have studied the problem for over twenty five years. Our enemy has been practicing this warfare for over fifty years. You are the first to respond to directly and publicly the threat and your policies have had an effect. If, and only if, we, as a people, as a nation, stand strong, we can break the terrorist threat.

As to your economic policies. They have done more to help people of all classes pursue the American Dream of opportunity and to thrive and prosper instead of merely survive. This country was created upon the foundation of individuals pursuing opportunity in freedom, liberty without the hindrance of Government or the burden of oppressive taxation. This was the first country in history literally created upon an ideal and a dream of hope. As a Police Officer, I am a member of the Middle Class. The Middle Class has benefited more from your policies than at any other time in our history. We will continue to benefit only if the rest of your economic policies are put into effect. There is a reason for this. The policies make sense. They are simple and they work. Lower taxes spur economic growth and bring in more tax revenue. Elimination of the Capital Gains Tax and the Estate tax will bring in more investment money, especially from the Middle Class, thus spurring growth and more tax revenue.

Sir, you are truly an inspiration. Please, keep speaking up and preaching the American Dream and your message of National Security. We must be victorious on both fronts. You are preaching the message that we need to hear; a message of hope for the future, a message of faith in the American people. You clearly believe in the American Dream and you communicate your belief.

Thank you. May the Lord bless and keep you.

After Election Day the 2008 Presidential campaign starts. The Democrats are united as a party, but the Republicans are in the sad position of herding cats. The Democrats have popular big name candidates to foist upon the American voter; Clinton (and her husband), Kerry, and Obama, just to name a few. The Republicans have…? The Republicans have to stop shooting themselves in the foot.

If we are to keep the White House in 2008, the Republicans need to re-assess the whole party. It is time for a new paradigm in politics. The old system of dues paying or seniority, or entitlement is past. The Republicans need a candidate. One and only one candidate. This person must be a combination- personality wise- of Ronald Reagan, Harry Truman, Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. We need a dynamic, charismatic, inspirational, youthful, and communicative candidate. Some one who can inspire hope for the future. A candidate who can bring people together; in a common alliance in a state of harmony to seek a better and stronger America.

There has to be a Governor, Congressman, or Senator who can do this. The Republicans suffered a major loss when JC Watts of Oklahoma called it quits. Colin Powell won’t run. The only solution to the problem is to find a candidate NOW. Once they decide on a candidate and a compatible running mate, they should tell, no order, everyone else to butt out. This is the new paradigm. No matter your seniority, no matter your power, no matter your paid dues. Butt out and back the choice. The candidate should start running for office after the November election, with the FULL BACKING OF THE WHOLE PARTY. All egos to be left at home, please.

If they continue to practice politics as usual, they will lose and lose big. Politics as usual will no longer cut it. The Republicans must practice simple marketing; market, message, media in a symbiotic relationship. Most people in this country are Conservative. The majority of the population is value oriented and believes in traditions. Most people in this country are religious. All the things we represent.

Too many people are mad at the Republicans and they have done nothing to dispel that anger. That is the problem.

THE KRAYON KID SHOULD GO TO SCHOOL
Impeach Bush. I was one of the few lefties to say it at the time: Bill Clinton deserved to be impeached. He lied under oath and he lied to the American people. George W. Bush makes Clinton look like a rank amateur. He stole two presidential elections, at least in part by hiring thugs to prevent black people from voting. He repeatedly told lies to deceive the public into fighting a disastrous, losing war. It's late and it's insufficient punishment, but if Bush doesn't merit impeachment, who does?

I really believe that Ted Rall was home schooled. The only lessons he receive were from the Coloring book of the Month Club. I really believe Ted Rall is a talented and great cartoonist. He even won an award for Cartoon Journalism. He is a terrible editorialist with absolutely no background in history; a rank amateur. Like the little boy that he is, he believes every thing the parental Radical Liberals tell him. He then repeats it to make himself feel important and smart. It is basically Republicans lie and they should be impeached. Democrats are pure as the driven snow and they should be our benevolent ruling dictators, even when they lie. Democrats lie to protect us and save us from ourselves, you see

Time for a real history lesson, little boy.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt lied to the American people from his first day in office until the day he died. His dishonest attempt to force Socialism down our throats as a panacea for the Depression was a massive success of dishonest propaganda. He lied about getting us into WWII; good lies, but lies all the same. He lied about the intentions of his good friend, Uncle Joe (Stalin for the uneducated Liberals), and he lied during the whole course of the war. Were there calls for impeachment hearings? As to lying during war time- you cannot reveal sensitive intelligence information, even to the Legislature. No one can be trusted; as the Democrats have proved with all the leaks of sensitive information. They even get caught lying about this and nothing happens.

Harry Truman lied to get us into the fiasco in Korea.

John F. Kennedy lied to get us into Viet Nam and in an attempt to invade Cuba.

Lyndon Baines Johnson lied about keeping us in Viet Nam and his failed Socialistic Great Society Programs- which we are still paying for today.

Jimmy Carter lied to us for four years and is still lying to us today. We are paying a bloody price for his lies today.

Bill Clinton’s whole life is a fabrication of prevarication (gotta stop listening to Jesse), and he is still lying to us today. We are paying the price in blood and nuclear threats today for his lies.

Ted Kennedy lies every day and may have committed treason in the early Eighties. We know he committed Reckless Homicide and lied about that.

Harry Reid lied about his real estate deals, tipping at his condo, and he violated our precious first Amendment to the Constitution.

Hillary Clinton has lied continuously on everything from Bill to how she got her name.

Nancy Pelosi lies everyday when she is on television; about issues on the war, the economy, taxation and her reign.

John Kerry has continually lied to the American public- even about the so called atrocities he never witnessed in Viet Nam.

Al Gore has continually lied to the American people about everything he has been involved in- from his record on social issues to inventing the internet, global warming…

All of them were/are liars of the highest order. ALL OF THEM WERE/ARE DEMOCRATS.

Evidently, it is alright to lie if you are a Democrat. It is to be encouraged and praised. They are the only ones who can get away with it.

First, there is no proof that Bush lied, and if you want to waste tax payer money by having hearings and investigations that will do nothing more than get politicians face time on television, be my guest. The Democrats will have accomplished nothing once again; except to waste our precious tax dollars.

Secondly, before the Liberals or anyone else call Republicans dishonest or liars, they better look in the mirror and then run as far away form the glass house they live in before they throw the first rock.

Please, Mr. Rall, go back to your coloring books and stop trying to act like an educated adult. It does not suit you.

 

 

 

 

DEMS FACE PRESSURE
Producing legislation has not been a recent Democratic priority. Instead, Democrats mostly have worked to block President Bush and his Republican allies in Congress, even during their short-lived Senate majority in 2001-2002.

Producing legislation is what the Legislature is Constitutionally bound to do. By continually blocking, obstructing, and absolutely refusing to compromise on any legislation, the Democrats have violated their Constitutional duties. They expect us to elect them in November? They should be investigated, indicted, and imprisoned.

The Democrats want to institute programs to justify tax increases, pay for pseudo-science and destroy the economy and the Middle Class:

• Increasing the Minimum Wage. This is only to appease unions. By increasing the minimum wage, workers will make enough money to pay union dues, thus the unions will be in a better position to organized lower waged workers.

• Revamping the Medicare Prescription Plan. Who will pay? They need this in order to justify more tax increases. It is not bad enough that retired people have to pay taxes on Social Security, now they and all of us will have to pay more.

• Stem Cell Research. A sop to the entertainment industry, the pro-choice people, and to labs who support Democrats. It is surprising that Al Gore has not been in the forefront by claiming he invented this. The current scientific and medical thoughtS on stem cells are that it is pseudo science- like Global Warming- and that there are better methods to be used and researched. The Pro-choice people can claim that by getting abortions you are helping people with catastrophic diseases. The only ones who will benefit from stem cell research are the laboratories doing the research; they will profit by millions of dollars in tax payer grants; FINANCING FAILURE AGAIN.

• Finding a Middle Ground on Tax Legislation. The Democrats really hate the Middle Class and love to tax us. There is no middle ground on tax legislation. The tax cuts should not only be made permanent, but decreased even further. The Estate Tax and Capital Gains Tax should be eliminated. The tax cuts are the reason the economy has thrived. The tax cuts have produced more tax revenue to the government. If lowering and eliminating taxes brings in more tax revenue, and increasing or keeping taxes that actually cost the government money decrease revenue, the question is what are the Democrats smoking? Why fix it if it is not broke?

The Democrats are still living in the Socialist Sixties and Seventies. They still believe that Government is the solution to all problems. Unfortunately, many voters wrongly feel that way too.

ANN COULTER

Ann Coulter does a nice job of lambasting the duplicity of the Democrats and the war on terror. She does miss one important point. It is the same point we all are missing and the Administration is not getting across forcefully enough.

The war on terror is not the war in Afghanistan or the war in Iraq. The war on terror is the war on TERRORISM AND ITS SUPPORTERS, AIDERS, AND ABETTORS.

We are not at war with countries. We are at war with NON GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, GROUPS, AND ORGANIZATIONS who promote death and destruction as a legitimate method of political and religious discourse. There are too many to list here. These groups are not legitimate voices in the Diplomatic and political discourse of affairs. They cannot be ignored, because they will not let us ignore them. The only solution is to destroy them.

Iraq was a key in this war. The country was heading in the direction of instability and the Baath Party’s doctrine of a Muslim nation stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Stabilizing Iraq and deposing its leader was a key in the war on terrorism. Iraq is a large country with many natural and human resources. It also has a great geographical position to foment war, terror, and destruction. It had to be stopped.

The only two countries who have the expertise to really fight a war on terror are Israel and Great Britain. They have been fighting terrorist for years and have an understanding of the dynamic of the terrorist mindset. We have the military, economic, and technological advantage.

The real problem surfaced thirty years ago. When Jimmy Carter and his Islamist State Department deposed the Shah of Iran in a bloodless coup, he opened the door to a more dangerous and difficult form of terrorism. They replaced a secular leader with a religious fanatic. The terror war went from political- real estate, governance, and political identity to religious fanaticism. This was a fatal flaw and a fatal error. The heart of terrorism went from Palestine to Iraq. The call went out for Muslims to unite and fight against the West.

From a few groups, many more sprouted, each more radical and violent than the next, many funded by Iran. The Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, spin offs of the original PLO, and others. Their goal was no longer political, it was religious. This was a master stroke. How does one effectively and morally fight a religion?

The West better wake up. Extremism and fanaticism are dangerous in any form. This is the war we are fighting. It is a war against a concept that is an anathema to humanity.

MESSAGE, MEDIA, MARKET. This is the heart of selling and marketing. If you want to sell, you must have all three of these in the right proportion. They have a symbiotic relationship. If one is missing, you fail. If you have the right market, the right message, and the right media you can sell anything. It is called Direct Marketing.

The Republican Party better learn how to do it better. There is a constant market- voters; disaffected voters. People are never happy with governance and politicians, no matter their party affiliation. So we have a huge market of hungry fish- to steal a phrase from Robert G. Allen. The Republicans have to have a clear, high impact message to get out to this market. It has to be a strong message touting the benefits of voting Republican. The message cannot be full of ideological political jabberwocky or send me the money or else threats of political destruction. The message has to be straight forward and to the point. “The GOP is better for America because…” “The opposition is wrong because…”

The GOP has to find the right media to get the message across. Once the message is out, the fundraising will come naturally. But, as the current election is going to tell us, it is not only about the money. With all of the money the Republicans have raised, they are in trouble. So money and fundraising are not the sole functions to win elections. It takes more.

The media is all around us. This is not very hard to do; Mail order, Email, Ezines, Blogs, News Letters (hard and electronic), websites, and even infomercials. A plethora of marketing media is available and just waiting to be used effectively.

The Republican Party needs to change their tactics if they want to see their goals, plans, and ambitions come to fruition. They must start the day after the election. They have to stop solely relying on political analysts, professional pollsters- especially those unscientific polls, and fund raisers. They need some good hard core mail order and direct marketing people to enter the fold. The idea is to sell the Party and its philosophy. It is time for a major paradigm shift in the way that the GOP goes about the business of getting people to vote.

Too much time is spent on fundraising and not enough time is spent on the message. Marketing politics has to be a 24/7/365 operation. Enormous amounts of time and energy are expended by direct marketers to sell products, services, and information. It works. It is inexpensive in time and money, and for the time and money spent, it is more effective, reaches a larger audience, and has a higher impact.

The stakes are too high to ignore the obvious. The Republican Party has to revamp its marketing. It has to bring copywriters, mail order experts, and sales and marketing people in to the fold. The GOP must get the message out constantly. Every piece cannot not be about or end with send us the money! Sometimes you just have to tell people why and what they have to do and get them to do it.

The GOP has to get out of the political ideology business and enter the sales and marketing business; or face political oblivion.

EIGHT REASONS TO VOTE REPUBLICAN
It’s easy to see that our guys aren’t perfect – but this election isn’t about suitability for Rushmore. It’s about maintaining some chance for conservative ideas and policies to prevail at a time of danger and challenge to the nation.

For a more personal view, read MICHELLE MALKIN'S post on getting out TO VOTE.
For all the White House's faults, however, there is no doubt in my mind that Republicans as a group are better informed, better equipped and better able to lead this country in a time of war than the Democrats. The donkey party is led by thumb-sucking demagogues in prominent positions who equate Bush with Hitler and Jim Crow, call him a liar in front of high school students and the world, fantasize about impeachment and fetishize the human rights of terrorists who want to kill me.
Put simply: There are no grown-ups in the Democrat Party.

Michael Medved gives eight very solid reasons to vote Republican, especially if you are an angry or disaffected Republican sitting on the fence. He should have also given eight very solid reasons to vote. Michelle Malkin gives very practical personal solid reasons to no not only vote Republican, but TO VOTE.

The problem, at least according to the so called polls, is Republicans staying home on election day- not voting at all. This will guarantee a Democratic sweep. The reason Republicans won the House and the Senate twelve years ago was Republicans voting and Centrist and Conservative Democrats switching to vote Republican. People, especially Democrats, were fed up with the Democrats. Now people of all stripes are fed up with the Republicans. Unfortunately the alternative choice will be disastrous to our very American way of life.

The Republican Party has made some major mistakes, not recently, but over the past few years, one of which, they sat on their laurels. The last Presidential election should have been a clarion bell for them. They should have started a political mobilization the day after the election to strengthen the electorate. The Party should have also tried to convert the Centrist and Conservative Democrats to their cause. Once again, the hard core ideology won out over practical and efficient politics. This is the essential problem; the Republicans have lost site of practical street politics.

The Republicans major mistake was their celebration twelve years ago when taking over the House and the Senate. They were then, and are now, happy with a mere majority. If they were really serious about governance, they would have started a campaign right there and then to go further and push for the two thirds majority needed to get effective legislation passed.

Their second mistake was what I now call the Wal-Mart offensive. As you may know, Wal-Mart has implemented a GOTV program for its employees. The Republicans should have contacted their major corporate and business donors and urged them to implement similar programs. The Democrats have the Media and the Hollywood celebrities. There are some CEOS who are just as popular and charismatic. We have to fight fire with fire.

Their third mistake was the ground game. The Republicans failed to keep boots on the ground. They won some elections then they cut and ran. The Democrats keep their boots on the ground all the time.

They are always campaigning. The Republicans need to build an effective local ground game; precinct by precinct, stressing practical politics instead of ideology. “What we can do for you” versus political babble. They have to strengthen precincts in the cities and towns, especially the major urban areas. The Republicans refuse to acknowledge what the Democrats have known all along; all politics is local.

Lastly, the reason that the Republicans were able to win twelve years ago was unification. Newt Gingrich and a few others unified the party into a solid coalition stressing the most important aspect of our life; the economy. The Democrats, at the time, were like scattered sheep. The Democrats took this page out of the Republican play book and ran with it. They are unified as a party. The Republicans are becoming the scattered sheep.

It may be too late for this election, but the day after the election the Republicans better get their act together.

On a more pleasant note:
ANGEL ON THE BEAUTY OF AUTUMN

The Republicans have a very real, tough, and challenging problem on the horizon, and it is not the November elections. After the November elections, the 2008 Presidential campaign begins. The Republicans do not have a candidate. I will repeat that; THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT HAVE A CANDIDATE!

Barak Obama poses a real threat to the Republicans. The Republicans have to get over the paying dues aspect of politics and find a candidate who not only reflects Conservative values and can appeal to moderates, but has charisma, vitality, sincerity, and the ability to communicate the message. We need another Ronald Reagan.

Bill Clinton won the Presidency in spite of himself because of his charm, charisma, and sincerity. He exuded hope and a positive attitude for the future. He is so good, that the Democrats still refuse to believe he was a dismal failure. Barak Obama has all of that and he is smart, not just intelligent or intellectual, but smart. He will blow away John Kerry, John Edwards, and Hillary Clinton. Mr. Obama has what it takes to communicate the message and he is a real centrist or moderate.  He also has no political or personal baggage. Clinton, Edwards, and Kerry are pseudo-centrists or moderates. They are really far left radicals.  They also have personal and political baggage.

The Republicans better hustle and find a candidate who has all of the campaign qualities of Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Barak Obama rolled into one person. They better do it quick. There has to be a governor or legislator someplace who can run a charged campaign. There has to be someone, somewhere who can electrify people into a state of excitement.

No one deserves to be President just because they were in Congress or the Senate for years. No one deserves to be President because they were high level party operatives for years. Look at the past failures of the Dukakis and Dole campaigns. Dull and boring are not going to cut it this time around. We need a new, fresh face with a positive charged attitude and outlook.

The best strategy is to find a candidate now, vet him or her thoroughly, and then get behind that one person. The whole Party has unify to back the candidate. I know this is unorthodox according to how things were done in the past. I know that massive political egos will be bruised. Too bad. It is time for unconventional campaigning.

Set up a campaign and start that person on the road to the White House for the next two years. We need to have uncontested caucuses and primaries so the candidate can run on his own, unopposed. Records mean little anyway. People want to know what you are going to do, not what you have done. John Kerry lost because he refused to tell people what he would do. The right candidate, the right message, and the right media will guarantee success. They have to stay on the message and merely deflect the organic fertilizer that will be thrown.

Let the Democrats battle each other during the caucuses and primaries and shoot themselves in the foot. We need one real, viable, and electrifying candidate and we need one now. If not, and, if Mr. Obama runs- even as Vice President, the Republicans can kiss the White House good bye for eight years.

Nancy Pelosi is on a mission to restore civility to the House. She has started this civil discourse by referring to her Republican colleagues immoral and corrupt. She has said that they are running a criminal enterprise. "Well actually, when I called them those names, I was being gentle," Pelosi says. "There are much worse things I could've said about them." She has stated emphatically that the President is not a leader and is a person who has no judgment.

Well, I guess that the verbally challenged Democrats have a different definition of civility than the rest of the normal population. Of course, we can always be magnanimous, and give her the benefit of the doubt; she actually misspoke and really meant to say she would restore incivility to the House.

If the Democrats win and Nancy Pelosi becomes the Speaker of the House, she promises to illegally and unconstitutionally hamstring the Executive Branch of Government. Of course, the Democrats do not believe in the constitutionality of the Executive Branch unless a Democrat is the President. Actually, judging by their deeds and words, they do not believe in the Constitution. So, if the Democrats win the House, the American people lose.

She has insisted on, and literally ordered, just saying no to nearly everything that comes out of the Bush White House and the Republican Legislature. In other words, PARTY RULE dominates effective and efficient governance. Congress, which is elected and paid to govern, accomplished nothing, thanks to her recalcitrance. She is single handedly responsible for the gridlock and hateful partisan warfare in the House.

Nancy Pelosi truly believes that the Party is more important than governance and that the Party ideology trumps all. It is all about the Party. There were other people who had this same vision of Party superiority over the will of the people; Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Hussein, and Castro.

The Pelosi agenda includes rewarding illegal aliens with welfare, food-stamps, and free education, negotiating with our enemies, coddling terrorists, raising taxes on the Middle Class, weakening the Military, Intelligence, and National Security communities and pushing the agenda of the radical fundamentalist base of the Democratic Party.

The Democrats are on the road to destruction. The destruction of the country. We, the people will pay the price.

SENATOR TED KENNEDY reached out to the Soviet Union during the height of the cold war to help unseat Ronald Reagan in his bid for a second term as POTUS. He did this with the help of fellow Democrat Senator John Tunney. John Tunney had traveled to Moscow on behalf of Kennedy to seek out a partnership with Andropov, the Head of the KGB at the time, and other Soviet officials. Senator Tunney made several trips to Moscow on behalf of Senator Kennedy to lobby Russian officials.

There are two words for the actions of Mr. Kennedy. TREASON AND SEDITION. Both are crimes, and they should be investigated. Of course being a Kennedy and a Democrat, this will never happen. They can get away with murder.

The Democrats, who always seem to tout their intellectual superiority, seem to have some word confusion. They seem to confuse the words to and for. We know that education is wasted on Democrats; Bill Clinton, for example, proved that going to the best schools only produces enough knowledge to know what the definition of is is.

Democrats keep harping on what the Republicans have done to the Middle Class, while promising what they are going to do for the Middle Class. These people are seriously challenged and should only be elected if there is an ADA Affirmative Action requirement.

The Republicans have done nothing, absolutely nothing to the Middle Class. They have done great things for the Middle Class; eliminated the Clinton tax hikes on the Middle Class, made creating wealth easier and less painful by lowering the Capital Gains Tax on long term gains, stimulated economic growth which created a greater than 95% employment rate, and contrary to the ridiculous polls by dishonest pollsters, consumerism is up, wages are up, and people are confident in their prospects for further economic growth.

The Democrats will do things to the Middle Class. They will raise our taxes, causing an economic downturn and unemployment. They will create more useless and contradictory regulations which will damage the business environment; the only environment that really matters. They will institute more entitlement programs making poverty and welfare (unemployment) more attractive than work. They will raise the gasoline tax, as they believe that we pay too little for gas, they will align themselves with the despicable special interests in an attempt to legislate our freedom of expression, patriotism, and Judeo-Christian traditions and cultural values away; the ACLU, NEA, ATLA, NOW, GLAAD, NARAL, Open Society, NAACP, People for the American Way, CAIR, Handgun Control Inc., just to name a few.

The Republicans do things FOR people. The Democrats do things TO people.

The Democrats have too much college and not enough high school.

 

STATE DEPARTMENT TRAITORS
Isn’t this just wonderful? The State Department’s top spokesman on the Middle East, Alberto Fernandez, has pronounced that American “arrogance” and “stupidity” is to blame for the downward spiral in Iraq.

Today is Monday. If Alberto Fernandez is still working for the State Department then Condolezza Rice should resign. Mr. Fernandez remarks on the State of Iraq were not only insane, inane, and down right dumb, they were traitorous. This is not the first time either. He has literally gushed like a school girl with a crush over the head of the Muslim Brotherhood; the terrorist umbrella group that includes Osama bin Laden as a member.

He should be fired immediately. Upon his return to the United States, he should be taken into custody at the airport and immediately whisked to Gitmo or some other secret prison where he can be interrogated mercilessly until he reveals what other damage he has done.

It is apparent that the State Department is infested with Islamist moles, just like they were infested with Communist moles in the Fifties and Sixties. This is nothing new. The State Department has been infested with Arabists and other terrorist abettors since the mid-seventies (Carter Administration). These career bureaucrats, who cannot be fired, are the reason we were so far behind the eight ball on terrorism. Israel warned us twenty five years ago. Other countries warned us twenty five years ago.

The State Department did not heed the warnings. They just pushed the Muslim agenda. It is now time to root the Jihadists out of the State Department. Root them out and imprison them until the war on terror is over. They are as bad as the supporters of terrorism. No, they are worse; the help shape government policy. The wrong policy.

 

IT IS SEMI-OFFICIAL

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Barack Obama acknowledged Sunday he was considering a run for president in 2008, backing off previous statements that he would not do so…
…In recent weeks, his political stock has been rising as a potentially viable centrist candidate for president in 2008 after former Virginia Governor Mark Warner announced earlier this month that he was bowing out of the race.

Mr. Obama is the one person who can appeal to the moderates of the Conservative and Liberal persuasion and the fence sitters- those sometimes voters. Though he is a Democrat, Mr. Obama is a fine young man who knows the difference between ideology and reality. Mr. Obama knows the difference between tact and diplomacy and pure political rhetoric. He is youthfully energetic and exudes honesty, charisma and magnetism.

Unlike other Democrats, especially the major names, he is not offensive, strident, or hateful. Mr. Obama is a believer in political efficiency instead of political expediency. He is a believer in centrist bipartisanship instead of partisan warfare. He wants to get things done and be a man of accomplishment. Mr. Obama is the quintessential American dream come alive. He is a danger to the Republicans and the Democrats.

His threat is especially strong against the members of his own party. He is the new kid on the block- he can claim no more politics as usual. Which can be his downfall- Democrats believe in dues paying. He does not preach to the Fundamentalist Radical Democratic base and he is not afraid to express what he thinks versus what he is told to think by the Party. He has literally taken a page out of the John F. Kennedy play book. Do popular things. Publicize them, and write books that everyone would like to read.

Mr. Obama, not Mrs. Clinton, is the Senator to watch regarding 2008.
