People Still Want Ron Paul

Today we were driving our neighborhood and noticed that, yes, a few new Ron Paul 2008 signs had sprung up. Umm. Even though under the current system, he can’t win the nomination – unless: McCain were to kick the bucket between now and the RNC. I mean, the guy is going on 72 and that is a possibility. I wonder if that’s the hope Paul is clinging to? Now Ron Paul is even older than McCain. He will be 73 in August.

I find it interesting that people are still springing up signs for him. Shows what happens when you dress a Libertarian up in the Republican outfit. Years ago, Ron Paul ran under the Libertarian flag and at some point decided to be a Republican. So he is still delivering the basic same message only as a Republican. And now he has a small but vocal and noticeable following that he never enjoyed as a Libertarian. So I guess the same words coming from a Republican mean something different than if they were coming from a Libertarian?

Old Story, New Evidence: Obama can’t get things done

Here’s a story that surfaced about the one and only time Obama worked with McCain in the senate. A few years ago Obama approached McCain with the idea the 2 would work on ethics and lobbying reform. Initially McCain liked the idea, but the ‘project’ only lasted a week before falling apart. One week? I suppose this what we can expect from Obama as a president. Lots of grand ideas and talk but little or no action. The fact that Obama-Loonies seem to brush under the carpet is that Obama doesn’t have ANY significant accomplishments in the Senate. He has only been the senate a short while and for much of that time, he’s been busy campaigning for president. Ha!

Obama, McCain Forged Fleeting Alliance

Barack Obama is Bisexual and Snorts Cocaine

Or so says Larry Sinclair, who makes that claim about Barack Obama. According to Mr. Sinclair, the two met in November of 1999 while Sinclair was a limo driver. This was when Obama was in the Illinois State Senate. Sinclair claims he administered oral sex to Barack Obama and the two of them did a line or two of coke.

But wait - that’s not all! Sinclair also points the finger of blame toward Obama for the murder of Donald Young who was a prominent member of Obama’s hate church. What is interesting about the latter part is that Donald Young was gay and Sinclair believed Young had a very close relationship with Barack Obama. You can read the rest of his story at his blog:

Official Obama Drug Scandal Weblog

These are exactly the kinds of skeletons I would expect to crawl out of Barack Obama’s closet. Unfortunately, the story just sits out there on its own – without any evidence or support to lend crediblity to it. Hard evidence for such a story – at least the sex and drug encounter part – would be difficult to come by since that encounter allegedly happened almost 10 years ago. The only thing that could give the story legs would be if other drug users from that period of time surfaced with similar encounter stories. And they would need to have no connection to Mr. Sinclair. The Donald Young part however, is recent.  Young was murdered in Decemeber of 2007. 

 But it is what it is; someone’s account of something and good for chuckle! Picturing Barack Obama in a limo receiving oral sex (from a male) and doing a snort is about the exact impression I have of him.

Figures – Barack Obama wants More Government

Earlier this week John McCain stayed in the news by addressing what he feels the role of government should in addressing the mortgage crisis. Basically, he takes a hands off approach. There is some justification for this. Bailing people out who made bad decisions shouldn’t be the job of the government. What happened to personal responsibility? That’s the basis behind what McCain is saying.

Then along comes communist Barack Obama – he says to tighten government regulation on the mortgage industry. That’s just another way of saying more government control on free enterprise. That’s a typical socialist democrat way of looking at it. Cast the blame on places other than the source. I have said before and I’ll say it again ; the people who signed those mortgages didn’t do so at gunpoint. That was an uneducated move on their part and Obama would like to use our tax dollars to fund those bad moves. Where will he get the money? From Iraq?

Google Hates Christianity

This morning I opened my browser with Google as my home page and what do I see? This:

Ok you say that looks like Google so what? Today is Easter Sunday and Google did not ‘Googlize’ this holiday. I’m not sure if Googlize is the correct term for what they do with holidays, but I’m sure you’ve seen Google when they ‘Googlize’ a holiday. They play with the Google logo and put something in it relating to the holiday or event. Then when you click on the logo, Google does a search on that holiday or event. For example, when it was Earth Day, they Googlized it with a Earth in one of the O’s and then when you clicked on the logo, you would be taken to a search results page for ‘earth day’. They do this for score of minor holidays and events such as Purim, Kwanzaa, Spring Equinox (first day of Spring), Einstein’s Birthday, Mother’s Day, to name just a few. So why not Easter?

Shame on you Google. Easter is one of the biggest events on the Christian calendar; second to perhaps Christmas. Now they do Googlize Christmas, but Christmas has become so homogenized that it’s arguably not even a Christian holiday anymore. So back to Easter. What’s the deal Google? You put Jewish and Muslim holidays but not a Christian holiday? You could have taken the low road and put the Easter Bunny in there, but NO, you just ignored it.

A while back I had a Google blog (BlogSpot). Remember when that uproar over the Allah cartoons erupted? Remember this?

My blog was shut down a few days after I posted that cartoon! I think Google hates Christianity and supports Islam only. The omission of Easter from their Google logo lends support to that theory – admittedly a somewhat limited proof theory. 

 Update: A commenter noted that is this called ‘Google Doodles’.  So I guess it would be called Doodlizing?

You’re Free to go…No Wait

Sara Jane Olson – the 70’s hippie bank robber – was released from prison last week. But apparently the prison system is so screwed up, even the corrections people can’t get it right.  Even with a high profile case like Olson’s. It makes you wonder how many other parole cases corrections people are screwing up and releasing early? Like much more dangerous criminals?  Anyway, Happy Easter Sara! (hehe)

Days after her release on parole, a former 1970s radical who had hidden as a fugitive for years was arrested Saturday and returned to prison to serve at least one more year. Corrections officials said a miscalculation resulted in her early release. Criticism that followed Sara Jane Olson’s release on Monday spurred a thorough review of her sentence and the timing of her parole, Chief Deputy Secretary Scott Kernan said at a news conference. Officials discovered a 2004 miscalculation that resulted in the former Symbionese Liberation Army member being released a year too early, he said.

1970s Radical Is Returned To Prison Days After Release

Barack Obama is a Racist

He is, yep yep yep. He said these words: “typical white person.” Now you might say hey wait a minute Stuck N. Middle, you’re taking that out of context. He was referencing his grandmother discussing the way she felt walking down the street. Or something like that. With every thing Obama spins, you can take it a number of ways – I’m not really sure what he was saying. I think he might have blown it and knew he blew it so he just rattled something off. The Obama damage control team tried to use a variation of the out of context excuse by saying “his intentions may have been misconstrued.” But he said what he said. He said “typical white person.”

Can you imagine a public official who is white saying something like “typical black person”? No matter what the context? They’d be fired or recalled in a New York minute. The fact of the matter is, there is something very wrong with Barack Obama bubbling just under the surface and it gives one the impression that he doesn’t have what it takes to bridge any racial gaps. Perpetuating hatred for white people is not bridging a racial gap. By bundling all white people into a “typical” statement like that, he fails to show any sensitivity to white people. What else is bubbling there? I will not vote for this racist – but I said that already. This just gives me another reason not to vote for him. We can only hope that every other ”typical white person” will not vote for this person.

Barack Obama’s Communist Friends

Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor says blacks should not sing “God Bless America” but “God damn America.”

I have already pointed out that Barack Obama has communist ties, but what is this? Yes those words came from Obama’s pastor, but if Obama truly loved this country (which I think he does not), don’t you think that he would leave that church or least distance himself from it? Rather Obama considers that pastor family; like an ‘uncle’. Yes Obama, you will be judged by the company you keep.  The comments coming from that ‘preacher’ remind me of the stuff we hear from that whacko church – Westboro Baptist Church.

I am glad this news came out but it’s a bit late. Where was this news earlier in the primary season? This might have slowed that fast talking slick willy down a little. Good to see the common media doing their job.

Conservatives aren’t gonna like this!  McCain and crew, you listening? Anyway, if you Obama lovers think that Obama wants to led this country to a greater future, think again. I’ll be waiting for the flood of liberal to claim the pastor’s words are taken out of context.

An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright’s sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.

Enough Said. Barack Goddamma?

Barack Obama – For the Little Guy or Big Oil?

Here is yet another skeleton in Obama’s closet that has somehow eluded the mass media. His ties to big biz electricity markets. One of his biggest backers is Exelon, the Illinois power company. And they are one of the largest megawatt providers. They’re also in trouble with the state AG who says that the company is bilking consumer left and right. Also there is that issue of the so call nuclear legislation he authored which was supposed to require all nuke plant owners to notify state and local authorities immediately of even small leaks. However, the bill was stripped down and lost its punch as Obama caved into senate Republicans and it replaced the requirement with a ‘guidance’. Obama forgets to mention that when he brags about that legislation on the campaign trail. Lies of omission. Change? What change? This sounds like the same old Big Energy/Oil Politics to me.

Obama’s Exelon ties merit close look

Hillary, Iraq, and Failure to Connect

David Broder wrote this piece about Hillary Clinton’s failure to connect. I think this is a well thought out way to describe what’s occurring on the Democrat side of the election fence.

My sense is that in the following months of campaigning, voters were often frustrated by their inability to discover the real person behind the notably buttoned-up candidate.

I think that’s thing one that Barack Obama has done extremely well: Connecting with the voters. He’s done that on many fronts, but most notably Iraq. He’s one of the few candidates who from the start took a hard line against further involvement in Iraq. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich also did, but those two failed to connect with a wide enough base of voters.

I think his hard line stance against further involvement in Iraq is one of the major pillars of Barack Obama’s campaign. And the support he gets reflects just how pissed off people are about our involvement in Iraq. There are those (such as myself) who knew Iraq was a bad move from the start. But since the illegitimate invasion of Iraq in 2003, even many of those who were fooled by the administration’s lies, have turned against that ‘war’. Is this what is driving Obama’s success?

Indeed anyone who thinks about Iraq and questions Bush’s lie about Iraq’s role in the so-called war on terrorism will have to consider that when they vote. For Centrists, that presents a difficult choice. McCain seems to indicate it will be ‘business as usual’ in Iraq and one can’t really tell where Hillary is. Which leads me back to the point at hand. The reason Democrats and some swing voters are flocking to Obama and not Hillary: Iraq.
