"I don't want to be the story."

Had to wipe off my screen after that one.

I wish I could parse President Clinton's statement the way he does. In his mind, did he say, "I wasn't in South Carolina when I criticized Senator Obama personally" or perhaps, "I was being unpersonal when I said those things." or even, "It all depends on what the definition of 'ever' is." Gag! This man wouldn't know truth from fiction if he tripped over it. Finally, I would note that although he claims to not want to be the story, this statement is ALL ABOUT HIM.

And to think that about half the Democrats want him back in the White House!  Says a lot about that party.

I found this video hillarious for the same reasons I find Mika, Chrissy & Shuster silly in the extreme on Morning Joe....they just try sooooo hard with absolutely nothing there, there.

So, enjoy this video with that in mind...notice all of the vacuous Hollywood happy faces....hoping for change!  Zero substance, natch.

The comments are kind of interesting too...in a sad, sick sort of way.  Just that liberal love of nothingness, I suppose.

It looks like I was absolutely-wrong about us heading for a brokered Republican convention now that Romney'$ out, and I'll be the first to admit it. At the same time, I'll also admit (since nobody-else is likely to!) that I was 100%-right about Ron Paul not-running third party this time. I'll quote directly from last-night's email:

I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties -- just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican.

Will this direct statement finally end all the pointless speculation? I doubt it. Such speculation is far-easier mentally than actually discussing ideas, so I expect it to continue. But in my over-2-decades of experience with him, Dr. Paul says what he means & means what he says -- which may explain some of the intense hate I've experienced here, come to think of it. People simply aren't used to seeing politicians doing what they say they'll do...

If this is winning, I think I'd rather lose...

Last night I saw an interview with a House member from PA who was a super delegate. (I can’t recall his name.) He stated that he didn’t care how his state voted nor did he care how his district went he was casting his vote as a super delegate to the Hildabeast. This made me think. It seems that these so called super delegates hold the power. It is not going to matter if Obamination wins the most delegates, the super delegates will put Broom Hilda in. The Dems are closet racists. They don’t want to see a black guy do well. What will this do to the black voters? Will they feel disenfranchised? I know they are not going to vote for a Republican so where do they turn? Does Hillary Rotten then ask Baruch Hussien O’bama to be her running mate?

Will Colin endorse Obama?

The Huckster wins Kansas...61%/24% with McCain...Paul had 11%...this is funny.

A close associate of one of Freds campaign staffers has been looking into the reports that Fred Thompson was backing McCain. So far, this is the only legitimate thing he has found...

"Not a thing so far anywhere other than a Ca. article that says something similar to the blog but only calls him "Thompson". You might not recall, but Tommy Thompson endorsed McCain Wednesday or Thursday." 

This may explain alot! 

The Conservative movement is about to be reborn.

I can't find anywhere else to post this so I hope SOMEONE reads this! It is IMPORTANT!

Prelude to my tirade: my thanks and credit to Peter Finch playing the part of Howard Beale in the movie "Network" for the above #19 of all-time most famous movie quotes (and often my #1 most favorite). Edited quote appears below.

"I'm as mad as Hell (in Kansas) and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

As I watch television, I see various headlines to the effect of "Huckabee sweeps Kansas". As much as I can stand it before I have to change channels, left leaning news channels (all but Fox) then add snide smirks repeating Reagan's famous quote of "there he goes again" except, in this case, it's "Bible Belt idiot Kansans give us pause for yet another laugh that in the heart of fly-over country they still somehow manage to tie their shoes - oh, I forgot, they seldom wear shoes".

I have nothing against Huckabee and there were even a few people voting for him. There may have been voters for McCain but I didn't notice any at my caucus location (one of the largest ones). Paul's boisterous supporters made them appear as ten for every one that was there. The national networks are reporting a total vote count of about 15,000 with Huckabee garnering 60% of them. Heck, there were probably 15,000 voters at my ONE caucus location (four locations in the highest population county in Kansas).

What happened!! The "caucus workers" had time to reprint the voting instructions to remove Mitt Romney. But they did NOT have time to remove him from the ballot. Either that or they feared a riot if Romney was not on the ballot. As peaceful as we shoe wearing, educated, polite and civil Kansans are, A FEW MINOR RIOTS JUST MIGHT HAVE BROKEN OUT! EVERYONE was talking about voting for Romney. Those exiting were assuring those just arriving that "ROMNEY IS ON THE BALLOT!"

I've since learned at more than a few caucus locations Romney signs were first taken down then ripped apart when Romney supporters persisted in putting them back up. Romney campaign literature being passed out was confiscated by "caucus workers". WHO were these "caucus workers?" I asked one. "We're non-political volunteers appointed by the governor". Yes, the same governor who is an amazing socialist aberration in a Red state. She is to the left of Lenin but still the governor thanks to a news blackout on her political beliefs. MANY Kansans believe she is a Republican (recent poll taken by the RNC)! She gives NO interviews and her campaign ads are all apron on, smiling and baking cookies while children laugh and play in the background.

I'm only guessing here but it would be a safe guess that these "volunteer caucus workers" are right now logged onto MoveOn.Org having a great time cheering each other on over how much fun it was today to figuratively push the faces of Republicans into the mud over all the state of Kansas! I read on one blog a bit ago the police were called in Wichita after torn up but taped up Romney signs were restored so many times that fists began to fly. The media showed up and the "caucus workers" DISAPPEARED. What Romney signs remained were taped together one last time to loud cheers (per the blog).

Civil order was maintained because ROMNEY WAS ON THE BALLOT! I just read these "governor appointed caucus workers" were all instructed to immediately destroy Romney ballots. This managed to be kept a secret because the caucus rules were such that voting occurred in a short one hour period. Romney ballots were imediately run through paper shredders as they were dropped into ballot boxes.

IF his ballots had been counted, Romney would have won by a landslide! I repeat, WE PROBABLY HAD THE TOTAL REPORTED VOTE COUNT OF ABOUT 15,000 PRESENT AT OUR ONE SINGLE CAUCUS LOCATION! The (two) speakers for McCain were (politely) booed or given "golf claps" at best as was the speaker for Huckabee. McCain was given TWO speaking slots taking the one that was to have gone to the Romney supporter.

The Romney speaker tried to speak but was escorted from the stage with few people noticing as he did not protest. But people soon began to sense "this is rigged!" BUT we all had ballots firmly in our hands and Romney was on it so ALL WAS WELL! HOORAY! We were conned every bit as much as voters for Castro! Are we seeing the future? I fear we are!

Why were the RINO voters of two states (New York and California) that will go (D) in the general election allowed to select our candidate!

I hope there is enough left of our country in 2013 to put us back together again and restart our democracy but I fear there will not be. What you see on your TV screens tonight about "Huckabee sweeps Kansas!" (and assume it is the truth) is just a hint of the giant charade coming our way called the election of 2008.

All I just wrote I don't even see on Fox News. I saw no media present and I was probably at the #1 caucus location in the state.

Kansas? Who cares! Beware! Kansas today was the canary in the coal mine for the entire country.

I was there and saw the canary die today.
