Looks like the Demoncrats are running away from the Hilderbeast in droves, like she and Bill are politically radioactive. Serves the Shrill right! The KKKlintons deserve every last bit of what’s happening to them. After the “Jesse Jackson” comment by Bill KKKlinton after the South Carolina primary, the black constituency finally started to see Sick Willie and Hitlery’s true kkkolors shining through, huh.

It’s easy to see why poor little Bill and Hillary are having problems on the campaign trail…How can one possibly expect the KKKlintons to compete when they can barely get by on a “shoestring budget” of 140 million dollars? I don’t see how any campaign could make it on that miniscule of a budget.

Look at the Atlanta Urinal Constitution lie:

{{{{—->Pakistanis reject U.S. ally<——- Early election returns showed that Pakistanis voting Monday overwhelmingly rejected the party of President Pervez Musharraf, which has been closely associated since 2001 with the Bush administration’s efforts to combat the region’s militants.-Urinal Screaming Front Page Headline.}}}}

What a fundamentally false, total fabrication of a “news” story.

{{{{State-run Pakistan TV said this morning that unofficial tallies were complete for 115 of the 268 parliament seats being contested. It gave former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s opposition Pakistan Muslim League-N and ————>slain former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s<———— Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) nearly 70 percent of the vote.}}}}

This is EXACTLY what Bush wanted.

{{{{The United States pressured Pakistan to allow former prime minister Benazir Bhutto to return from exile, promoting her as a moderate influence in a country facing a growing threat from Islamic extremists, a Pakistani government spokesman said. “She says what America wants to hear,” Deputy Information Minister Tariq Azim Khan said in a weekend interview with USA TODAY. He said the U.S. government forced a reluctant Pakistan to allow her to return after eight years of self-imposed exile: “You twisted our arm.”}}}}

How stupid and goony can the AJC possibly be, al Qaeda assassinated her so how can this be anything but a vote against the terrorists?

In other words, you liberals have lost again.

~~~~~

Here’s another loss for you pinkos to chew on:

{{{{Ailing leader Fidel Castro resigned as Cuba’s president early Tuesday after nearly a half-century in power.}}}}

Kennedy’s mistake finally gone.

~~~~~

{{{{To begin with, all visitors to Tehran (Iran) report an extraordinary level of sympathy with the U.S. among the general population. On my own visit to the country, I was astonished by the sheer number of people who had relatives overseas, and who wished they could join them. Most especially among the young, pro-American cultural and musical “statements” are as common as they were in Eastern Europe before 1989.}}}}

Watch the wormy little goon stories the libs start publishing to clear the way for the Klan to steal the nomination:

{{{{Should victor share spoils?- Democrats may rethink their process-Urinal}}}}

~~~~~

{{{{In Darwin’s day the cell was thought to be little more than a “simple lump of protoplasm,” or, in another ludicrous simplification, a “cavity” filled with a “homogenous transparent fluid.” Now the cell is seen to resemble a high-tech factory. How did it get that way? There’s no answer in the Darwinian scheme — other than trial and error. The DNA within the cell, once thought to be mostly (98 percent) “junk” is now believed to be functional all the way through (a dividend of the Human Genome Project). The evolutionists were obliged to believe in a fundamentally simple world because all they had was an elementary mechanism — random mutation plus natural selection — to account for it.}}}}

~~~~~

{{{{The Wall Street Journal’s Steve Moore has done the math on Mr. Obama’s tax plan. He says it will add up to a 39.6 percent personal income tax, a 52.2 percent combined income and payroll tax, a 28 percent capital-gains tax, a 39.6 percent dividends tax and a 55 percent estate tax.}}}}

~~~~~

Let me put this in context with three contentious issues — one economic, one cultural, and one on foreign policy. In each case, President Bush took a clear stand. In each case, he was accused of stupidity or stubbornness and sometimes both. In each case, the facts on the ground increasingly bear the president out, sometimes dramatically. Yet the beat goes on — with no sense of the great irony that it may be our writers and pundits who are stubbornly clinging to old assumptions.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY FINE UPSTANDING REPUBLICANS

I PREFER THIS: WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR:

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.

Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction.

Mike,

I am surprised you missed this opportunity on Obama punking his supporters:

Cons eventually catch up with you. Obama’s played his supporters for suckers. They bought into the hope hype, sucking up this stuff with a straw, only to find out Obama’s not an original, he’s a knock off, of a governor, no less. Siphoning off of a winning campaign to try to win the presidency with a formula. Hey, it’s politics. One campaign model fits ‘em all. Put your twenty bucks in the bucket and shut the hell up!

ITN- I have, also, been the object of Luckoduh’s (aka Andy’s) affection. My grandfather once gave me a very sage piece of advice. He said, “You can’t win a p** contest with a prick.” I hope that you will allow the radical right to wallow in its’ mire and that you will choose to rise above these sort of Karl Rove style antics in the future.

Speaking for myself, I must say that this sort of thing just bores the hell out of me. See it for what it is; the radical right attempting to silence free discussion and drag others down to their level. It is an act of desperation.

I don’t know about you, but I choose to be better, not the same, as them. Rational readers here are very familiar with Andy’s antics by now, you don’t have to tell us or defend yourself. I invite you to join me in ignoring his radical right hissy fits instead of being controlled by them.

I do appreciate your many links to pertinent articles that express your points in a rational and reasoned manner. I, also, appreciate those posted by Andy when he chooses to act in a more civilized manner. Stick with the links and ignore the attacks is my advice to you both if you wish me to consider your positions to be credible.

Those who believe the Constitution means what it says should tremble at every effort to weaken any of its protections. The Constitution protects all “persons” and all “people” implicated by government behavior. So the government should be required, as it was until FISA, to obtain a 4th Amendment warrant to conduct surveillance of anyone, American or not, in the U.S. or not.

ITN, that you and I both are able to annoy the hell out all of the flat-earth society and reduce them to anonymous juvenile delinquency is not very remarkable.

And that they are constantly besieged with sophomoric name calling and insults from other simple-minded, but politically opposing numbskulls, is partially well-deserved blowback and partially karma.

I have tried for a long time to engage any and all of them in serious discussions without the rancor. As I’m generally more interested in debating those with differing opinions, based on logic and reason, I have genuinely tried, but have found it to be almost completely futile. Ultimately the fringe relies excessively, almost exclusively, on the Newt-inspired and Coulter-updated play book of epithets and enmity.

As a result they are being marginalized on almost nationwide scale now, on virtually every major American policy position from the desperate denials of man-induced global warming to the phony “family values” morality to the bungled, deadly and deceitful invasion of Iraq to the now roundly dismissed Reagan 11th commandment that was one of the cornerstones of this stunning collapse of arrogant and hubris-filled men.

I believe it is very apparent that the few deluded apologists here are now representative of a tiny and constantly dwindling minority with very big mouths. And not much more.

Uh oh! Is this the kiss of death?

HOUSTON — Former President George H.W. Bush endorsed John McCain on Monday, a nod of approval from the Republican political dynasty’s patriarch that sends a strong signal to a GOP establishment wary of the Arizona senator.

McCain MAY actually be smart enough to realize that if he overly courts the lunatic fringe/religious right and the currently entrenched bumbling and pig-headed neo-cons, he does so at the enormous risk of driving off the independents, moderates, and fed up Democrats and Republicans who could get him in the White House.

The way I see the current realities, the dwindling, impotent “base” is no longer a live or die aspect for a Republican to win a Presidential election.

He may invoke the name of Ronnie and his “conservatism” when it plays well, but given his well-documented past, it is unlikely he really believes a lot of that tripe.

Barack Obama’s Plan Ending the War in Iraq Judgment You Can Trust:

As a candidate for the United States Senate in 2002, Obama put his political career on the line to oppose going to war in Iraq, and warned of “an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs, and undetermined consequences.” Obama has been a consistent, principled and vocal opponent of the war in Iraq: In 2003 and 2004, he spoke out against the war on the campaign trail; In 2005, he called for a phased withdrawal of our troops; In 2006, he called for a timetable to remove our troops, a political solution within Iraq, and aggressive diplomacy with all of Iraq’s neighbors; In January 2007, he introduced legislation in the Senate to remove all of our combat troops from Iraq by March 2008. In September 2007, he laid out a detailed plan for how he will end the war as president. Bring Our Troops Home: Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda. Press Iraq’s leaders to reconcile: The best way to press Iraq’s leaders to take responsibility for their future is to make it clear that we are leaving. As we remove our troops, Obama will engage representatives from all levels of Iraqi society – in and out of government – to seek a new accord on Iraq’s Constitution and governance. The United Nations will play a central role in this convention, which should not adjourn until a new national accord is reached addressing tough questions like federalism and oil revenue-sharing. Regional Diplomacy: Obama will launch the most aggressive diplomatic effort in recent American history to reach a new compact on the stability of Iraq and the Middle East. This effort will include all of Iraq’s neighbors – including Iran and Syria. This compact will aim to secure Iraq’s borders; keep neighboring countries from meddling inside Iraq; isolate al Qaeda; support reconciliation among Iraq’s sectarian groups; and provide financial support for Iraq’s reconstruction.

Barack Obama’s Plan Restore Fiscal Discipline to Washington Reinstate PAYGO Rules:

Obama believes that a critical step in restoring fiscal discipline is enforcing pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) budgeting rules which require new spending commitments or tax changes to be paid for by cuts to other programs or new revenue. Reverse Bush Tax Cuts for the Wealthy: Obama will protect tax cuts for poor and middle class families, but he will reverse most of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest taxpayers. Cut Pork Barrel Spending: Obama introduced and passed bipartisan legislation that would require more disclosure and transparency for special-interest earmarks. Obama believes that spending that cannot withstand public scrutiny cannot be justified. Obama will slash earmarks to no greater than year 2001 levels and ensure all spending decisions are open to the public. Make Government Spending More Accountable and Efficient: Obama will ensure that federal contracts over $25,000 are competitively bid. Obama will also increase the efficiency of government programs through better use of technology, stronger management that demands accountability and by leveraging the government’s high-volume purchasing power to get lower prices. End Wasteful Government Spending: Obama will stop funding wasteful, obsolete federal government programs that make no financial sense. Obama has called for an end to subsidies for oil and gas companies that are enjoying record profits, as well as the elimination of subsidies to the private student loan industry which has repeatedly used unethical business practices. Obama will also tackle wasteful spending in the Medicare program. Make the Tax System More Fair and Efficient End Tax Haven Abuse: Building on his bipartisan work in the Senate, Obama will give the Treasury Department the tools it needs to stop the abuse of tax shelters and offshore tax havens and help close the $350 billion tax gap between taxes owed and taxes paid. Close Special Interest Corporate Loopholes: Obama will level the playing field for all businesses by eliminating special-interest loopholes and deductions, such as those for the oil and gas industry. Barack Obama’s Record PAYGO: Obama voted in 2005, 2006, and 2007 to reinstate pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) federal budget rules. No-Bid Contracts: Obama has introduced and helped pass bipartisan legislation to limit the abuse of no-bid federal contracts. Against Raising the Federal Debt Limit: In 2006, Oba

Barack Obama’s Healthcare Plan- Quality, Affordable and Portable Coverage for All Obama’s Plan to Cover Uninsured Americans:

Obama will make available a new national health plan to all Americans, including the self-employed and small businesses, to buy affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress. The Obama plan will have the following features: Guaranteed eligibility. No American will be turned away from any insurance plan because of illness or pre-existing conditions. Comprehensive benefits. The benefit package will be similar to that offered through Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), the plan members of Congress have. The plan will cover all essential medical services, including preventive, maternity and mental health care. Affordable premiums, co-pays and deductibles. Subsidies. Individuals and families who do not qualify for Medicaid or SCHIP but still need financial assistance will receive an income-related federal subsidy to buy into the new public plan or purchase a private health care plan. Simplified paperwork and reined in health costs. Easy enrollment. The new public plan will be simple to enroll in and provide ready access to coverage. Portability and choice. Participants in the new public plan and the National Health Insurance Exchange (see below) will be able to move from job to job without changing or jeopardizing their health care coverage. Quality and efficiency. Participating insurance companies in the new public program will be required to report data to ensure that standards for quality, health information technology and administration are being met. National Health Insurance Exchange: The Obama plan will create a National Health Insurance Exchange to help individuals who wish to purchase a private insurance plan. The Exchange will act as a watchdog group and help reform the private insurance market by creating rules and standards for participating insurance plans to ensure fairness and to make individual coverage more affordable and accessible. Insurers would have to issue every applicant a policy, and charge fair and stable premiums that will not depend upon health status. The Exchange will require that all the plans offered are at least as generous as the new public plan and have the same standards for quality and efficiency. The Exchange would evaluate plans and make the differences among the plans, including cost of services, public. Emplo

Barack Obama’s Economic Plan- Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief Obama will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families to offset the payroll tax they pay.

Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new “Making Work Pay” tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The “Making Work Pay” tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans. Simplify Tax Filings for Middle Class Americans: Obama will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Obama will ensure that the IRS uses the information it already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return. Experts estimate that the Obama proposal will save Americans up to 200 million total hours of work and aggravation and up to $2 billion in tax preparer fees. Trade Obama believes that trade with foreign nations should strengthen the American economy and create more American jobs. He will stand firm against agreements that undermine our economic security.

Fight for Fair Trade: Obama will fight for a trade policy that opens up foreign markets to support good American jobs. He will use trade agreements to spread good labor and environmental standards around the world and stand firm against agreements like the Central American Free Trade Agreement that fail to live up to those important benchmarks. Obama will also pressure the World Trade Organization to enforce trade agreements and stop countries from continuing unfair government subsidies to foreign exporters and nontariff barriers on U.S. exports. Amend the North American Free Trade Agreement: Obama believes that NAFTA and its potential were oversold to the American people. Obama will work with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to fix NAFTA so that it works for American workers. Improve Transition Assistance: To help all workers adapt to a rapidly changing economy, Obama would update the existing system of Trade Adjustment Assistance by extending it to service industries, creating flexible education accounts to help workers retrain, and providing retraining assistance for workers in sectors of the economy vulnerable to dislocation before they lose their jobs.

Barack Obama’s Energy Plan Reduce Carbon Emissions 80 Percent by 2050 Cap and Trade:

Obama supports implementation of a market-based cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions by the amount scientists say is necessary: 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Obama’s cap-and-trade system will require all pollution credits to be auctioned. A 100 percent auction ensures that all polluters pay for every ton of emissions they release, rather than giving these emission rights away to coal and oil companies. Some of the revenue generated by auctioning allowances will be used to support the development of clean energy, to invest in energy efficiency improvements, and to address transition costs, including helping American workers affected by this economic transition. Confront Deforestation and Promote Carbon Sequestration: Obama will develop domestic incentives that reward forest owners, farmers, and ranchers when they plant trees, restore grasslands, or undertake farming practices that capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Invest in a Clean Energy Future Invest $150 Billion over 10 Years in Clean Energy: Obama will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial-scale renewable energy, invest in low-emissions coal plants, and begin the transition to a new digital electricity grid. A principal focus of this fund will be devoted to ensuring that technologies that are developed in the U.S. are rapidly commercialized in the U.S. and deployed around the globe. Double Energy Research and Development Funding: Obama will double science and research funding for clean energy projects including those that make use of our biomass, solar and wind resources. Invest in a Skilled Clean Technologies Workforce: Obama will use proceeds from the cap-and-trade auction program to invest in job training and transition programs to help workers and industries adapt to clean technology development and production. Obama will also create an energy-focused Green Jobs Corps to connect disconnected and disadvantaged youth with job skills for a high-growth industry. Convert our Manufacturing Centers into Clean Technology Leaders: Obama will establish a federal investment program to help manufacturing centers modernize and Americans learn the new skills they need to produce green products.

Look at the liberals just simply speaking the truth:

{{{{Michelle Obama today said that ——>“for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.<——- And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.”}}}}

I wish I could say the same thing but I can’t; I have ALWAYS been proud of my country and I ALWAYS will be.

The United States of America has done more good in the world than any other people combined, we give of ourselves as no others have.

We sacrifice life and treasure for the freedom of others, asking nothing in return.

For somebody to say these things about this great country says more about them than it does America.

Isn’t that just an additional tax on companies they’ll have to raise their prices to cover? Or maybe move production overseas where they don’t get raped by whiny liberals for making products in the US? You b*** about jobs being outsourced in one breath and then laud crap like this that will make them do it in the next. Typical of a well meaning liberal without the mental capicity to figure out the ramifications of well meaning but poorly thought out plans.

{{{{Liberals in general, and academics in particular, like to boast of their open-mindedness and acceptance of non-conformity. But they mean not conforming to the norms of society at large.}}}}

{{{{They have little or no tolerance to those who do not conform to the norms of academic political correctness. Nowhere else in America is free speech so restricted as on academic campuses with speech codes.}}}}

{{{{In Berkeley, as elsewhere, the left has learned to cloak their anti-military intolerance with the magic words, “We support the troops.” The liberal media use the same line when they undermine the military.}}}}

{{{{In this, as in other things, the flagship of the media is the New York Times. Unsubstantiated charges against American troops in Iraq are front page news but incredible acts of heroism in battle are seldom reported there, if at all.}}}}

And our new allies, the KLA, have been credibly charged with human trafficking, drug dealing, atrocities and terrorism.}}}}

{{{{We bombed Serbia, we were told, to stop the genocide in Kosovo. But there was no genocide. This was propaganda. The United Nations’ final casualty count of Serbs and Albanians in Slobodan Milosevic’s war did not add up to 1 percent of the dead in Mr. Lincoln’s war.}}}}
