Theory – Billary are distancing themselves from the ultra loony left in an effort to attract moderate votes but they continue to fund these ultra liberal nut jobs through Hillary’s war chest and shady routs of money funneling.

ANDROPAUSE!!

Interesting article by EUGENE ROBINSON, of the Washington Post Writers Group today.  He says "REPUBLICANS IN ANDROPAUSE".  Article goes on the state that it is the "Male Menopause" & feels Repubs have it!!  Could someone find the entire article and post here for all to see.  I think it is excellent reading and should give some insight into the fact all MSM reporters, print, radio and video, are marching to the beat of the Left to try and bring the Conservatives, Repubs, Independents down and make them vote D(i)em in order to feel good about themselves again!! 

Pawpaw... I will

Pawpaw...

I will vote (R) and feel very good about it (unless RP get's the nomination).

Thanks, I thought everyone may want to read it!  What will the MSM come up with next?

Did anyone see Sean

Did anyone see Sean Hannity’s America over the weekend? He was interviewing a Marine who was hit by a roadside bomb and fired on some people fleeing the scene despite orders to stop. According to the interview, after a roadside bomb, US Marine SOP is to try to locate the trigger men. Seeing these “civilians” running from the scene, having one dead marine from the IED already, despite Marine orders for them to stop as well as small arms fire on the convoy after the explosion, several of those fleeing were killed by the Marines.

This particular Marine was brought up on charges, and at the same time, John Murtha was making statements that ‘Marines were going through the streets of the town killing civilians in cold blood”, which could not have been more inaccurate and inflammatory.

Long story short, this marine was finally exonerated of the charges, and a student reporter cornered John Murtha and asked him to apologize to the marine now that he was exonerated.

MURTHA REFUSED.

There’s a lot more I can post about this, but I think it all speaks for itself.

Unfortunately...

It was redundant. The material had been covered on H&C more than two weeks earlier. The clips were even the same.

Sorry, I didn't see it when it was run two weeks ago.

So does that fact somehow make Murtha's actions acceptable?

2nd round

The topic was discussed on H&C over the course of two nights. I turned this off and went to my office.

It was nice not to have Colmes there arguing for terrorism, otherwise it was the same material.

Jimbo, if you missed that

Jimbo, if you missed that the first time, you might not have seen this either....the guy is Jason Mattera of the Young America's Foundation. He confronted Murtha who said the trial was still going on. When he found out the charges had been dropped, he hit Mattera with his service in Korea and Viet Nam, as if that made him untouchable.

Mattera should

Mattera should have followed up Murtha's response with, "So as a fellow serviceman, you would agree that a soldier wrongfully accused of war crimes deserves an apology?"

A Short Break From Politics

The Red Sox were truly unstoppable.  Can you imagine them wih A-Rod in the lineup?  This may be a possibility if Mike Lowell is not signed by the Sox.  The Yankees will now undoubtedly pursue the free agent Lowell with major bucks (Jeez, he already makes $15mil a year) and the Sox would almost be forced to go after A-Rod.   

Oh well, when's the parade?

Parade

The parade is Tuesday at noon. It will be similar to the rolling rally in 2004, including the Sox riding in the Duck Boats, but unlike last time the Duck Boats won't go into the Charles River.

So, how about those New England Patriots? They dismantled the Redskins yesterday, 52-7.

It would seem, the "every day Iraqi"

Why doesn't the msm (Lsm) report this? (yes there are dumb questions!)

Sarko the American

Did anyone happen to see the 60 Minutes interview with Sarkozy?  I'm surprised I've found very few comments on Newsbusters (or maybe I'm not looking hard enough).

Now, I'm not a huge fan of the French government or some of Sarkozy's views, but I couldn't help a little chuckle when he walked out of the interview.  I saw it coming when he was angry about it from the start, but I wish more public figures would do the same when asked stupid questions by a leftist spin media.  I think he could have chosen a better question to walk out on, but my beret is off to him.

The Blame Game

This is all the fault of George W. Bush and the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Because you know that Dr. Evil not only controls gas prices with the turn of a knob, but he now controls the weather too! 

On the lighter side (in case

On the lighter side (in case the Andropause thing wasn't enough humor), The American Spectator is reporting that John Edwards has decided to accept Federal Matching Clothes.

Happened to catch a few minutes of MSNBC at the gym Friday afternoon (not by choice).  They ran a "humorous" segment mirroring W.'s statements on Iraq four or five years ago with ones he's recently made on Iran.  Throughout, Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again on My Own" played underneath.

 I loudly proclaimed to the other gymmers, "good thing there's no hint of liberal bias at MSNBC."  Blank stares.

Hoped one of the bloggers here would have caught it.

John Edwards

Everybody needs to read this article on John Edward's New Deal type propsals.  

Then go here and look at the Socialist Party Platform. See any glaring similarites?

This is scary. His ideas are coming right out of their playbook-almost word for word.

Southern by birth, Tarheel by the grace of God!

Correct, rick. Edwards is at least as Marxist as Hillary

He's given speeches (but not widely reported in the media) that clearly outline his intent to push America into turning hard left.  

I've seen language from him that sounds even more like Socialist/Communist dogma than he does here.

Trouble in Paradise??

American Spectator also has a story about Steny Hoyer throwing his weight around, and apparently is showing that he has more power than Mrs. Pelosi. He cut back the work week, (no more Fridays) in contradiction to the wishes of Her Speakerness.

The other interesting thing (and I think more important) in the Prowler column (below the Hoyer item) is Her Speakerness promising Barney Frank a vote a sexual-orientation discrimination bill, then pulling it. Part of the problem?

"Republicans wanted an exemption for religious groups, and that's the thing that killed it for us," says a House leadership aide. "The folks pushing this bill want the religious groups to have to deal with this issue, they aren't going to get out from under it if we have our way."

So the Democrats don't want any religious exemption. If they have their way, they are going to force the Catholic Church and other religious organizations, under force of law, to accept gays and lesbians, even as teachers in their schools, or be legally penalized. And make no mistake, there won't be anything "discreet" or "don't ask, don't tell" about it....it will apply for even the most flamboyant and in-your-face gays.

This stinks. On ice.

Under new management

The Chinese government has recently decided that corruption in the newly liberated business sector needs to be addressed. They investigated the management/leadership programs from some 24 universities and selected Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia to begin a leadership training program for upper level managers and CEO's.

Trinity Western is a Christian university, and their leadership program is Biblically based and uses the TEAM model practiced at companies like Southwest Airlines and West Jet. An initial team is leaving next week to meet with business leaders and start training the native Chinese trainers who will do the actual teaching in China. Chinese students will also be sent to Canada to study at TWU.

The choice of a Christian university may seem like an odd choice for a communist regime. It may have something to do with the explosive growth in the number of Christians in China. In addition to "house churches", there are also now "factory churches" in Chinese cities where workers spend time in Bible study or worship services before their "productive" work day begins.

The government of China recently reported that there are over 100 million Christians in the country. It is also reported that many government officials and party leaders are openly Christian.

AP
- Giuliani attacks Mrs Clinton for talking about what she would do on the diplomatic front before even nominated by DNC

...Clinton has told crowds she would send "distinguished Americans of both political parties to travel around the world on my behalf with a very simple message to the governments and the people alike: The era of cowboy diplomacy is over."

Giuliani, pointing to a story in Sunday's Des Moines Register about her statements, said such comments hurt the United States and undermine the balance of President Bush's term, which ends Jan. 20, 2009.

"I think that it's important that we conduct this debate in a way that we don't interfere with the bility of the country to function in a proper way, between the now and (the election)," Giuliani said at the start of a town hall-style meeting in Peterborough. ...

..."The president of the United States is president of the United States. He's going to be president of the United States from now until the time a new president takes over. Until then, he's the only one conducting foreign policy of this country," Giuliani said. "We can have our political debate in this country. ... But nobody should be creating the specter that we're sending emissaries out around the world before someone is actually sworn in as president of the United States. ...

What's the difference between president elect and someone campaigning for the party nominee? Who is she to promise such at this point in time, during Bush's presidency?

Evita Clinton could overplay

Evita Clinton could overplay her hand, sooner or later. If she words her proposals as if it's a forgone conclusion that she will be president, she may experience a backlash. A lot of voters, be they liberal or conservative, don't like candidates being so presumptuous.

Who said this...

The following was said today concerning the United Nations wanting a global gun ban.

"So now the UN wants to disarm civilians? Where was the UN when the massacres in Rwanda occurred? What did the UN do to protect the victims of ethnic massacres in Bosnia? Disarming civilians under the guise of international human rights law will only lead to more such genocides by ensuring that civilians can never defend themselves! It would be funny if it weren’t so perverse."

Question

Have we discussed the fake fema press conference yet?  Was that covered by the NB.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but it seems like this might be something that should garner attention on a media watchdog website.

Especially now, considering that John Philbin might actually get promoted.

We touched on it briefly,

We touched on it briefly, somewhere. Daily Show mentioned it. They also ridiculed the global warming / lack of national guard / terrorist theory for the fires and fighting them.
