Brilliant Political Move From Republicans

Posted on by

A true rarity.  The Republicans just manipulated BHO into keeping the gaffe generating Joe Biden on the ticket.  Lately Biden has been producing several gaffes a day.  It’s gotten so bad that people are checking the news every few hours to find out what stupid statement he’s made.  The prominent participants were Sarah Palin and John McCain, who independently said our young president should dump Joe and replace him with Hillary. But the crowning, but less prominent, statement came from Rudolph Giuliani, who simply said that Biden isn’t very bright.

So today we have Jay Carney saying they’re keeping Joe and this all is a distraction from “policy issues.”  A “distraction” is Democrat party-speak for telling the media they’re supposed to let the Democrat party control the narrative, not engage in discussions not in a press release.  Carney also got in a dig at McCain giving advice on running mates, which is fine.  Carney might not even know his boss’ ego was just expertly played and he’s now left with two choices.  He can take Biden off the campaign trail (probably the smartest move), or just wait hourly to be notified of the latest Bidenism.  The latter is more fun.

Ryan is “wonky”

Posted on by

That one seems to be out there in force.  Paul Ryan is “wonky.”  Okay, it sounds bad, or somewhat geeky.  But stop and think about what characteristics he has that makes him wonky.  He can talk about the issues, such as budgets, and make it so people can understand what he’s talking about.  He can also eviscerate BHO when he’s in a situation where he has the floor.  In essence, you can listen to Paul Ryan and know more than you did after he’s done speaking.  He can speak in lucid paragraphs without staring back and forth at twin teleprompters like he’s watching a tennis match from a dugout.

Now I ask you this.  Can you name a member of the Democrat party that you can learn stuff from?  Go on, take as long as you like.  I can’t.  I can recite bumper stickers that would look normal in Berkeley after one has done talking, but they’re meant to be catchy, and vague enough that they’re not committing to anything that can be used against them.  There isn’t one Democrat party member that can speak intelligently on issues.  They’re just not wonky enough.

Supposedly Biden is another wonk, like Ryan, but he’s a gaffe generator of the first magnitude and just doesn’t seem all that terribly bright.  Obama might even be smarter.  My guess is that the White House is faxing out talking points stating how Biden is strong on policy and the media is, as usual, transcribing it.  We’ll find out in the debate.

I Want a Rich President

Posted on by

Yes, rich.  Filthy stinking rolling in dough rich.  I want a president who knows how to make lots of money and knows what to do with it once he has it.  And he should have lots of bank accounts all over the world, including Switzerland.  He should be so rich, the president of the respective banks handles his accounts personally, just like in the movies.  He should have mansions and villas and haciendas, so he’ll have someplace to go on vacation other than Martha’s Vineyard like the Democrat party presidents all seem to go.

Yes, the left will say he’s out of touch and therefore shouldn’t be president.  We’d all be better off with a community organizer, because he’s “in touch.”  In touch with what is another matter, but they never seem to get into that aspect.  The result is, once you peel away the left wing nonsense, is that they’re making a case for being unqualified as a desirable trait.  Community organizers don’t know how to handle trillion dollar budgets, other than to hand it out to political allies.  They haven’t a clue what to do to get an economy going,  because their mindset is such that economies are meant to be pillaged and the spoils handed out to those who aren’t contributing anything.

A rich president knows what to do with money and is our best bet to get the country functioning again, so it can remain a country for a few years longer.  He might even be able to get the deficit under a trillion dollars.  Obama inherited Bush’s presidency and decided to spend trillions.  We need to spare him the burden of inheriting his first term.  He won’t know what to do to recover from it.

Manipulated by the Liberal Media

Posted on by

We all know them.  They’re our neighbors, coworkers, you name it.  People who live their lives conservatively, raise good kids, instill good values in them, but watch the news without understanding that it’s biased.  Inevitably, a conversation in the neighborhood or around the water cooler will turn to politics.  They’ll purse their lips and rub their chins and look reflective, deep in thought, their minds filled with the responsibility of weighty political analysis.  Then with all seriousness they can muster, they’ll proclaim, “Well, I’m concerned that Romney won’t release his tax returns.”  They’ll echo whatever the Democrat party is feeding the media complex that week.  They’ll comment on Romney or Palin, but you’ll never hear a peep of criticism about Obama.  It’s enough to make you want to scream.

You can tell them that he did release two years already and try to explain what the media is doing, but they won’t listen because they already consider themselves well-informed.  Who are they going to believe, some guy in the neighborhood or the news guy on TV?  They think the news exists to inform people of what’s taking place so they’ll be able to make the best choice in November, which is what the news is doing from its perspective.  They just don’t know the perspective is biased.

A lot of people are being hoodwinked, and all the while they think they have the inside track to the pulse of politics, knowledgeable, too savvy to be manipulated, all thanks to the Democrat party running polls from some basement and planning next week’s trickery.

Certain demographics have trouble voting on Tuesday

Posted on by

Ohio is being sued by President Obama and his fellow Democrat party members.  Why?  Well, Ohio passed a law saying that voting has to take place on election day.  Not the Saturday before, or the Sunday before, or the day before, but on Tuesday.  If nothing else, the liquor stores don’t have to close for a week, if Ohio does that.

But why the big deal?  The stated reason, as you can guess, is that certain demographics (all of whom curiously vote for the Democrat party), have trouble voting when it’s limited to one day.

An extended voting period is perceived as benefiting Democrats because it increases voting opportunities for those harder to reach for an Election Day turnout — Hispanics, blacks, new citizens and poor people.

Why would this be?  Why is it necessary to “reach” them?  What is the problem with people who consistently vote for the Democrat party?  They have trouble getting ID, they have trouble voting on Tuesday, they seem to have trouble with a lot of things.  Personally, on election day I take a nice walk a few blocks away until I reach the house where the voting takes place in some people’s garage.  It’s a pleasant walk, a pleasant time at the polls, the only thing unpleasant is the results because I live in California and the state is whacked.  I don’t have to be reached and I’ve never once voted on any day other than election day.  It’s not difficult.

But then I’m not a member of the Democrat party.

I’m not a member of the Democrat party, but I can play one on the Internet…

And do it better than Sam Torres, City Council member of Indio, California.  Indio is a small city east of Palm Springs.  If you want to drive from San Bernardino to Phoenix, you’ll pass through Indio.  It’s about halfway between the ocean and the Arizona state line.  Fine you say, but how do I know he’s a member of the Democrat Party?  Well, I’ve deduced it.

1)  He was “recognized” (whatever that means) by Veterans for Peace (whatever that is) as shown on the Democrat Women of the Desert (whoever they are) website.  Tell me he’s a Republican, yeah.

2)  He wanted to tax tickets to music festivals that take place yearly at Indio.  That failed.

Both indicate he’s Democrat party, but he fell short on the second.  One major music festival simply said they’d hold it somewhere else, which is to be expected.  Kind of like Atlas Shrugging.  It’s a big state in a big country, and no doubt they could find a better venue to hold it.  One that didn’t want to impose another tax on them.  Instead of collecting taxes from all the business and occupancy the festival brings to Indio, and it’s a lot, they wouldn’t be getting shit.  This is key.

Mr. Torres should have taxed the music festival for not holding it in Indio, and called it a penalty.  We know that can be done because Chief Justice Roberts of the Supreme Court showed all the members of the Democrat party all across the country how it could be done.  It would end up in the 9th Circuit, and they’d have to pay up and probably have to pay legal costs for opposing the tax in the first place.  Problem solved.

An Extra Second of the Obama Presidency

Posted on by

Yes, we have a leap second this fine evening.  Supposedly the earth is slowing down, there seems to be a consensus on that.  It might even be true, who knows.  True or not, it means Obama gets an extra second in office, whether it’s four years or eight.  Now it will be four years and one second or eight years and one second.  If he’s installed for life, it won’t make a difference of course.

This gives us extra incentive to get rid of him in November, before the scientists have a consensus that we need another extra second.  It might happen before January 20, 2017.  Of course, there is a wild card:  Global warming.  Global warming might slow the earth, according to CNN.  But Scientific American says it could speed it up.  I suppose CNN considers Scientific American readers to be climate skeptics, and Scientific American considers CNN watchers to be climate skeptics, meaning damn near everybody could be a climate skeptic.

What do they think of people who don’t believe any of this nonsense?

Sure It’s a Tax, But Don’t Expect To Hear The Liberalmedia Call It That

Posted on by

Because they won’t.

In the wake of Chief Justice Roberts’ decision that Obamacare is constitutional as a tax, but not under the Commerce Clause, one would think people will start calling it a tax because it’s unconstitutional otherwise.  Now I’m not a constitutional expert and can’t tell you what this all means, but I do know how the mainstream (lamestream) media operates.  They’ll call it a penalty or something else, but not a tax.

One would think that they “can’t have it both ways,” as is often said when the media is in a situation like this.  Well, they can and will have it both ways.  Here’s how.  The mainstream media simply uses the same terminology as the Democrat party.  If the Democrat party calls it a penalty, the mainstream media will call it a penalty.  To sound objective they might report that Republicans claim it’s a tax, but when they call it a penalty, they won’t attribute it to the Democrat party.

Give it a week or two, and most of the public will be calling it whatever the media (Democrat party) calls it, and the tax argument will be relegated to birther status.

 

 

Malcontents for Obama

Posted on by

I just skimmed through an article about gays being dissatisfied and demanding more from President Obama.  Mentioned in passing was a Latinos for Obama event.  No, I’m not even going to bother linking to it, just take my word that it exists.  Now I’m not saying all gays and Latinos are malcontents, not at all.  But it’s a safe bet any of them involved in a “…for Obama” event are pissed off about something.  They’re not holding fundraisers out of gratitude for the bounty available to them in this fine country.

Sometimes the Democrat party will latch onto a demographic of malcontents that doesn’t even exist, and of course the media will lap it up like half starved kittens given a bowl of milk.  In 1996, the media were happily reporting how “soccer moms” were for Clinton.  Soccer moms were harried mothers who drove their kids to soccer games in SUVs, who for some reason thought Clinton could help them out.  Help them out of their clothes, perhaps, but malcontents never think things through very well.  (Soccer moms were the only people who could drive SUVs with media approval, by the way.  There are always perks with being a Democrat party-approved demographic.)

Of course, the mainstream media confers credibility on who can attract the most malcontents.  We’ve all heard them tut-tut about how the Republicans have trouble with the _____ vote, you can fill in the blank.  The _____ are always people who are disgruntled about what government isn’t doing for them yet.  Ultimately, it means that people who are satisfied with the country have less cred than those who aren’t.  Kinda strange once you drill down into it and see it from this angle, isn’t it?

I Can See the Pacific from My House

Posted on by

Well, just a glimpse from upstairs, but I can.  The point is I shouldn’t be able to see it at all, because by now it should have lowered enough that it would have dropped out of sight.  Four years ago Barack Obama said this:

I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.

Granted, he did say he was going to slow the rise, but every time a Republican wants to slow the rate of spending increases, he or she is lambasted as an extremist who wants to make Draconian cuts.  So I’ll extend the same courtesy to our president.

The oceans should have dropped and receded halfway to his birthplace by now.
