No clarity for GOP. Praise Reagan — oops, there goes Nevada.

Mitt Romney wins Nevada, John McCain South Carolina.

Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani sits in Florida, awaiting his moment to muddle into the Republican Presidential contest.

While it’s pretty clear now that the Republican battle will go on without a clear front-runner at least through Super Tuesday on Feb. 5, McCain pumped life into his prospects by demonstrating in South Carolina that he could win against a former Southern governor who has great appeal among evangelical Christians. Mike Huckabee did well in South Carolina, but a near-win in South Carolina is a defeat for him. As he noted though in conceding first place to McCain, winning the Republican nomination is “not an event; it’s a process and the process is far, far from over.”

Nevada had more delegates at stake Saturday — 31 to 24 — but South Carolina drew more attention. It was the first test for Republicans in the South and the winner there has become the party’s nominee since 1980. Giuliani skipped Nevada and South Carolina, while pursuing a high-risk strategy of taking Florida followed by a big show on Super Tuesday a week later. Florida is the first of the big states to vote with a winner-take-all primary on Jan. 29.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton had an impressive win in Nevada — impressive because the state’s largest union, the 60,000-member Culinary Workers Union, Local 226, had endorsed Barack Obama and several of the party’s caucuses were held in casinos in Las Vegas. The union represents maids, bartenders and other hotel and casino workers and is the state’s best-organized. He’d also been endorsed by the Nevada chapter of the Service Employees International Union.

Obama committed a terrible transgression in the lead-up to Saturday’s voting, though. He spoke favorably of Ronald Reagan.

He told the editorial board of the Reno Gazette-Journal that “I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn’t much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating,” Obama said. Reagan, he said, “tapped into what people were already feeling, which was, ‘We want clarity; we want optimism.’”

“I think it’s fair to say that the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10 to 15 years in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom,” said Obama.

While attempting to make the point that he, too, represented change and new ideas, any favorable reference to Reagan is poison in Democratic politics. John Edwards, who departed Nevada to campaign in Atlanta and in Missouri and Oklahoma, reacted.

“Ronald Reagan, the man who busted unions, the man who did everything in his power to destroy the organized labor movement, the man who created a tax structure that favored the richest Americans against middle class and working families, … we know that Ronald Reagan is not an example of change for a presidential candidate running in the Democratic Party,” Edwards said.

Democrats vote in South Carolina next Saturday — and that’s a state Obama should win. About half the state’s Democratic voters are black.

al-Gitmo: Yeah, maybe the man that I know would have been the best for America lost but when it comes down to the end of the day at least I’m not backing a candidate that called Martin Luther King a shoeshine boy.

Like you are.

{{{{By getalife January 19, 2008 5:01 PM Later fred, I will miss the wife}}}}

I know, it’s nice to see you libs admitting that the only women you can sport are a bunch of fat, baggy, screeching old hags.

Men loving freaks.

~~~~~

And here comes Queen Pinko, backing up everything I said about democrats being nothing but a bunch of lying, race hating bigots:

{{{{Take the current Democratic primary. Greenwald and colleagues modified the Implicit Association Test to search for unconscious biases among Democratic voters. When asked who they planned to cast ballots for, a sample of voters reported strong support for Obama, who held a 42 percent to 34 percent lead over Hillary Clinton among the sample, with John Edwards coming in at 12. But when the same people took the Implicit Association Test, measuring their unconscious preferences, Clinton was “the runaway winner,” favored by 48 percent of them, and Obama was dead last, with 25 percent. Edwards was favored by 27 percent, according to the researchers.-Cynthia Tucker, Urinal}}}}

{{{{That’s not a condemnation, not a presumption of malicious bigotry. It’s just an acknowledgment of the peculiar burdens of humanity, especially in these United States. Assumptions about race and ethnicity are so deeply embedded in our culture that we can hardly help noticing skin color.-Urinal}}}}

Oh, please.

What we have here is God hating heathen judging the whole entire United States based upon her inner bigotry.

Speak for yourself, Cynthia, or are you?

Maybe if you degenerate liberals didn’t view other women as a slab of meat put solely on this Earth for your selfish pleasure, maybe if you libs didn’t use race baiting as a substitute for honest effort, maybe if you libs didn’t run a “news” paper that employs hate speech against the opinions of the people you disagree with, maybe if you didn’t protect every scumbag that does bring discredit to their race, maybe then you could get past your bigotry, get past the stereotypes and “politically correct” language that you created,” and you could start seeing the human being that lives in every one of us, regardless of our outward appearance.

I can’t believe she said that, these libs have instituted freaking rules and policies on how to “act” around other human beings, rules that reinforce the very bigotry that she whines about today.

Heal thyself, “physician.”

~~~~~~

Speaking of hate language:

{{{{Americans love to boil over big oil- Today bookshop shelves are crammed with tomes denouncing the Bush oil dynasty, or predicting that America’s dependence on oil will bring environmental Armageddon.}}}}

Big oil, an industry that makes 8% profits versus Hollywood and Lawyers and all the libs making 35%, an industry that is overwhelmed with liberal democrat regulations the costs of which get passed along to the consumer, an industry that has it’s products saddled with a 48 cent per gallon federal tax, an industry that is forced by the federal government to blend corn into it’s product in turn raising food prices, an industry that is being blamed for a fake scare mongering junk science because they provide a product to people like the Atlanta Journal Constitution and al-Gore using massive amounts of energy to print and deliver this very “news” paper that they are using to whine about “big oil.”

You are sick in the head, AJC.

How many trees get chopped down every day to print this paper, Urinal? How many millions of gallons of gasoline do you figure gets burnt up to haul those trees, to run those massive printing presses, to deliver this crying rag, do your reporters walk around the country? Do you work and live in a pop up tent and burn animal dung to stay warm? Grow your own food, do ya?

Stupid, simple, ignorant, guilt tripping, mouth breathing, busy bodies STFU, and lead by example you sick little freaks.

Sick, filthy little immature wretches “protesting” against the very industry and technologies that have advance their comfortable, fat little lives to the point of idleness, giving them time to whine about the whole freaking world.

They have absolutely no clue about what a short, brutal life people lived before big oil made everything so easy and convenient.

POS. (-;

~~~~~

And congratulations to John McCain, who has finally, after all these years, done something good for the Republican party.

Got rid of Hickabee for us.

To this we owe you…..something.

~~~~~

And what does it say of South Carolina, having an ex senator like Misses Edwards and voting 30% for freaking Hickabee, is it no surprise that they spawned someone like finchie?

~~~~~

Geez, the Washington Post must not have gotten the democrat memo on Iraq:

{{{{The legislation is one of half a dozen key political “benchmarks” we have expected Iraqi leaders to address. Others are hydrocarbon legislation; a provincial powers act; a law to facilitate the next round of local elections; a process for holding a referendum on the political future of Kirkuk, the disputed northern oil city; and a better process for purging sectarian extremists from positions of government authority. Apart from de-Baathification reform, major steps have been taken only on the last of these. But there has been real progress on other important matters, including Baghdad’s sharing of oil revenue with the provinces, even without a hydrocarbon law; the hiring of Sunni volunteers into the security forces and the civilian arms of government; and improvements in the legal system, such as more trained judges and fewer indefinite detentions of prisoners. Iraq’s political glass remains more empty than full, but trends are clearly in the right direction.}}}}

{{{{Some in Washington are already calling for a commitment to additional reductions, resulting in force levels below pre-surge levels, even before we have finished the current drawdown. Such calls are unwise. America has made this mistake in Iraq before. It is inappropriate to try to evaluate the possibility of reductions beyond pre-surge levels before we have had time to examine the situation after the completion of that drawdown.}}}}

{{{{The strain on the U.S. military is great. But sustaining 15 brigades in Iraq for six to 12 more months will not break the military. Reducing forces in Iraq too rapidly, however, even by one or two brigades, might seriously jeopardize the tenuous success we are seeing. We should not take that risk.}}}}

It’s getting kinda hard to sweep under the rug, ain’t it?

~~~~~

Look at the Urinal and DOT try to forecast the weather just a few hours into the future, and yes, they got it wrong:

{{{{The beauty of a snowstorm on the city’s day off took on the menacing threat of treacherous roads and black ice. Black ice was expected to become a greater concern as temperatures fell, DOT spokesman Paul Marshall}}}}

Uh, no ice.

These^^ are the same people that tell us the debate over “man made global warming” is settled.

By the way, how many of you pinkos found out that the Toyota Prius will spin like a top when it encounters a minor slick spot, whereas gigantic 4 wheel drive pick up trucks just walk on by?

Back to Jim’s topic, I noted that McCain actually would have lost to Huckabee by a slim margin if only Republican votes had been counted. He won of course thanks to independents. I wonder how he will do in the upcoming closed primaries, where the ignorant dittoheads will have more say.

Hold on. Independents could have voted yesterday but the Demo primary isnt till next week so McCain wouldnt have had the amount of crossover votes you could expect in an open primary. Sure he could have lost if Thompson wasnt in the race. The fact is that McCain will be the nominee. He has won in the NE and can win in the south. Romney is the only other option but he wont win against Hilary or Obama. He cant woo the conservative or the middle of the road voter like McCain. The Nevada win was more about religion and the Michigan win was about who his daddy was. He will lose in Florida (probably come in 3rd or worse - behind McCain, Guliani, and Huckabee). Thus proving that Super Tuesday will be a coronation of the Republican nomination. Not for as long as I can remember has the Republican nomination been this long in becoming clear. The GOP tends to decide it rather early and let the Democrats fight it out. Just watch as the reality that everyone needs to get behind McCain starts to take hold in the polls across Florida and the rest of the super Tuesday states.

George Will gets it:

{{{{In ABC’s New Hampshire debate, McCain said: “Why shouldn’t we be able to re-import drugs from Canada?” A conservative’s answer is: That amounts to importing Canada’s price controls, a large step toward a system in which some medicines would be inexpensive but many others —- new pain-relieving, life-extending pharmaceuticals —- would be unavailable. Setting drug prices by government fiat rather than market forces results in huge reductions of funding for research and development of new drugs. McCain’s evident aim is to reduce pharmaceutical companies’ profits. But if all those profits were subtracted from the nation’s health care bill, the pharmaceutical component of that bill would be reduced only from 10 percent to 8 percent —- and innovation would stop, taking a terrible toll in unnecessary suffering and premature death. When McCain explains that tradeoff to voters, he will actually have engaged in straight talk.}}}}

{{{{In the New Hampshire debate, McCain asserted that corruption is the reason drugs currently cannot be reimported from Canada. The reason is “the power of the pharmaceutical companies.” When Mitt Romney interjected, “Don’t turn the pharmaceutical companies into the big bad guys,” McCain replied, “Well, they are.”}}}}

{{{{There is a place in American politics for moralizers who think in such Manichaean simplicities. That place is in the Democratic Party, where people who talk like McCain are considered not mavericks but mainstream.}}}}

I like these libs, the biggest innovation in their degeneracy based little lives has been Viagra and, judging from the lib hysteria, it’s like the second coming of FDR to them, plus, “lucky” for us, it’s opened the national conversation on erections, apparently their favorite subject.

And who exactly do they think researched, developed and tested their little wonder drug?

The U.S. Senate, perhaps?

Wooten’s final paragraph was to punish himself for reporting Obama’s favorable remarks about Reagen: “…about half the states Democratic voters are black”. Now even if a recent census confirms that statement, and even if the most recent polling shows that those democratic voters will vote Obama, Wooten is DavidDuke’n the race card, but it’s not a threat to Obama at all. Why not? because Wooten seems 2B 1 duke short of a hazzard.

It looks as though the knuckle-draggers will be forced to compromise their search for a nominee who will turn the constitution into the Bible, who will make abortion a felony in every state, and who will deport 12 million undocumented aliens.

McCain looks like the best they can do. Oh, sure, the rest of the South will line up behind Huckabee in that curiously atavistic way the South has of continuing the Civil War, but in the end McCain will emerge as the nominee. Rudi is dead; like the ghost who continues to haunt familiar surroundings, he simply doesn’t know it yet. Watch for Lazy Fred to withdraw and throw his support behind McCain.

Following a true Republican philosophy, we should pursue a global free market economy. Therefore, drugs — like tractors, cars, clothes, food, etc. — should be purchased by big American businesses from the lowest cost provider. Isn’t that so, Mattel? After all, no profits, big profits or bigger profits mean bigger bonuses, huge stock options, enormous golden parachutes, etc., for the chosen few. All that is missing is a fair tax system.

Yesterday when I pointed out that Rudy had thrashed Duncan Hunter in Nevada, Glenn got a little annoyed with me. (Imagine if I had also noted that Rudy had come in behind Ron Paul….yet again.)

Well, at the risk of attracting Glenn’s ire, I report that the Rudymentum rolls on. The Mayor of 911 beat Duncan Hunter AGAIN, this time in South Cackelacky, and Duncan has thrown up his hands in surrender and fled the battlefield!

In other news, Lazy Fred, realizing he only bested The Man Who Stopped History (Mayor of 911 {TM}) by a seven-to-one margin, despaired of his prospects and retreated to the comfort of his Hollywood Hills pleasure domes. Fred was last seen begging Dick Wolf to let him come back to L&O. Thus has Rudy routed the field.

Dawg may be right that McCain is now inevitable. As a liberal, he is the only GOP candidate who worries me in the general.

It would be worth the entertainment value to watch the exploding heads if St John gets the nomination. Just this week, Oxy Rush declared Mac “unacceptable”. Yesterday, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said that “McCain has done more to hurt the Republican party than any elected official I know of.” (Worse than a hot tub Harry who is forced to resign for ethics violations???)

Many Right Thinkers on this forum have expressed their disrespect for Straight Talk Johnny. Hard to see a strong, unified party lining up behind St John.

Then again, as Glenn notes, I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Grading Wooten: If you look at Wooten’s last 50 blogs, you can deduce his stand on issues: Gun Control: he’s one decoy short of a blind. Evolution: he’s one monkey short of an evolutionary chart. Prayer in schools: he’s one bead short of a rosary. MLK’s dream: he’s one million men short of a march. Justice-based compassion for the 99% of americans who are not the gated-rich: he’s one tank short of a blitzkrieg. (Wait a minute, no that works, nevermind).

Americans listen to me: These are dangerous times. We are mesmorized and under the spell of ‘08. We are set up for a Cheney/Saudi 911 incident to allow a GOP victory and thus preserve the tax-incentive foundation of the latest stock market rally. We’ve rallied from Dow 8K to Dow 13K largely because of those tax breaks. (Hey JBMLAW, the magazine “The Economist” called. They want their editor-in-chief back).

As Mighty Mitt basks in his Nevada afterglow, an interesting read from the Politico regarding his history as a jobs-creating engine of capitalism:

On the stump in economically struggling Michigan and South Carolina recently, Mitt Romney has been making the case that “it always makes sense to fight for every single good job.”

But this position seems to be at odds with the Republican contender’s one-time role as chief executive officer of Bain Capital, a large private equity firm.

In 1992, the firm acquired American Pad & Paper. By 1999, the year Romney left Bain, two American plants were closed, 385 jobs had been cut and the company was $392 million in debt. The next year, Ampad was forced into bankruptcy.

Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs bought Dade International for about $450 million in 1994. The firm quickly fired or relocated at least 900 workers. Over the next several years, it sunk increasingly into debt and laid off 1,000 workers. In 2002 — after Romney had left Bain — it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

A 1997 buyout of LIVE Entertainment for $150 million resulted in 40 layoffs, roughly one in four of the company’s 166 workers. The job cuts affected all aspects of the company, from production and acquisition to legal and public relations.

In 1997, Bain bought a stake in DDI Corp., a maker of electronic circuit boards. Three years later, Bain took the company public and collected a $36 million payout. But by August 2003, the company filed for bankruptcy protection, laying off more than 2,100 workers.

jbmlaw will likely sport a hearty Boehner upon reading this, but it doesn’t strike me that Mitt is quite the job engine he promised in Michigan.

I wasn’t miffed, Camus, you burnt-out French sad sack, just teasing you back for calling the race when we’re only at the end of the beginning. You’ve done that right along, irrespective of my Mensch from Brooklyn. (Guy grew up rooting for the Yanks, for Pete’s sake. Think about that; skinny little four-eyed choirboy, holding his own for his team among the bullies of Brooklyn.)

I happen to know a couple of people with the Hillary campaign, the Chair of McCain’s CA campaign, and the person who ran the Edwards campaign last go around. I haven’t heard from the Hill peeps since I blew up at them for smearing Rudy in the Bloomberg press (but what the Hell, they were my soon 2B ex’s friends anyway), but the others I know don’t think for a minute that the unusually large field of viable GOP candidates represents anything other than a deep bench, and they all know that it’s too early to count chickens, and that it would be so even were there an annointed Establishment candidate running.

So I just can’t engage you or anybody else on the basis that this is tea-leaf time, because it’s not. The People are as damn fool gullible as ever, while the media seem to have partied their way through J-school, but it’s just possible that voters have decided to take longer, more careful looks at all the candidates worth the trouble.

The media would be smart, in my opinion, to provide some cold, incisive, bold analysis of the candidates, if only because there’s a huge untapped market for that right now. And that would leave out the DNC-AJC in any event.

Camus, don’t be too hard on yourself. It doesn’t matter to God that you don’t know what you are talking about. What matters to God is what is in your heart, and from reading your posts that seems to be the problem.

What you are not grasping is the needs of this once great nation under God. These are times of pure evil.

In order to do battle with evil you must have God on your side. That is why we need a Prophident to lead us. An ordinary President will just not be enough to fight the powers of the Islamo-Fascistic-Terrorists.

Lining up behind John McCain means leaving Jesus behind.

Its important for all humanity. Prophident Bush needs to be replaced with someone who can continue our crusade until it ends in victory.

Glenn sez the media seem to have partied their way through J-school

Just because I love to argue with you big G, I take the opposite tack…the barking mutts of the news corps failed to party sufficiently while in school and are making up for lost time while on the campaign trail. Thus are these walking haircuts made easy prey by savvy press bus hospitality. (Remember all the press about how great the food was on the Bush bus?) Imagine all these self-inportant gasbags bored stiff on the road, running up expense account bar tabs in crappy Ramada tiki bars, so gin-soaked that all they can bang out of their laptops are simple-minded psycho-babble horse race commentaries.

They spent their college years repressing their natural exuberance while building up a self-image of “seriousness”, along with an astonishing ability to maintain perfect hair in any weather (maybe that’s why so many of ‘em loved !Mitt!). Now, they are self-important and alcohol-dependent, quite an ugly pairing as anyone who has been cornered by Luckoduh at a cocktail party will attest.

Often, they have a pathetic need to be liked by the campaigns they cover, and so we get puffball after puffball from the McCain bus, to take one obvious example. Or, if the campaigns are not sufficiently “friendly”, the scribes punish them by describing them as “remote” or some such.

Yep, I think the problem with our press is demon rum. Not Wooten of course. Man is sober as a judge, no doubt, and God knows his hair is not perfect.

I would only add to Cynthia’s remarks that Mohammed Ali, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods are the exceptions. There’s a god-complex all men have where we view our superstars as gods, not as a racial stereotype. I mean, did anyone ever really notice that Jordan was black? I forgot to notice.

Eleven Rezmar buildings were in the state Senate district Obama represented between 1996 and 2004. Many of the buildings ended up in foreclosure, with tenants living in squalid conditions, the Sun-Times reported last year. In one instance, Rezko’s company left tenants without heat for five weeks. Obama said he was unaware of problems with the buildings and minimized the legal work he’d done.

Obama’s relationship with Rezko grew closer in June 2005, when Obama and Rezko’s wife bought adjoining real estate parcels from a doctor in the South Side Kenwood neighborhood. Obama paid $1.65 million for the doctor’s mansion, while Rezko’s wife paid $625,000 for the vacant lot next door. Obama’s purchase price was $300,000 below the asking price; Rezko’s wife paid full price.

Six months later, Obama paid Rita Rezko $104,500 for one-sixth of the vacant lot, which he bought to expand his yard. In November 2006, he expressed regret about the transaction.

“It was a mistake to have been engaged with him at all in this or any other personal business dealing that would allow him, or anyone else,” Obama said, “to believe that he had done me a favor.”

Typical politician lying after the facts come out.

Camus,

Funny double-barreled punchline about Wooten’s blatant and shameless sobriety. When I was a very young reporter with little more than a year under my belt, I left newspapering for policy work because the drinking scared the Hell out of me, and I knew in my gut that I’d get dragged into it. In those days, the reporters were men; women were still a curiosity, heroic by their very existence in the field. The guys mostly had apprenticed as I was doing, from mail courier or print monkey on up, and our mentors usually were boozy hacks of the old school, our editors mostly veterans of the Armed Forces news services who wouldn’t have known a computer from an abacus.

Our press deadline was 3:30, and at 4:00 p.m. the bar was hugger-mugger with de-stressing newsroom and Editorial people, along with the sportswriters who weren’t attending events. Those guys pounded it, and expected others to do likewise. Very little Beer. Mostly vodka or whiskey. When someone would buy the first round he’d ask, “White or brown?” At press conferences the flacks knew to stand brown-bagged fifths beside the press packets. Convention dictated that the white swigswag stand at one side, the brown swigswag at another—-so that the cynical reporter might take as much as needed to fill him with a certain generosity of spirit in which to dip his mucker’s rake.

At about the same time that Ted was hiring every presentable young American who still knew how to write, the first cohort of post-Watergate, graduate-school-trained “Journalists” hit the market (whilst their MBA colleagues dispersed to the board rooms to wreak their havoc). These people eschewed the press bar, and when visiting there were terrestrials out of land. They were foodies, and sippers of white wine, destined by virtue of their academic refinement to perfect the journalistic craft of trendspotting and to revolutionize culinary journalism every Wednesday.

The old hacks hated them. It was like dudes to Dodge—-the passing of an era. Even as I was born on the tail of the Baby Boom, so did I come up as a cub at the tail end of the age of hot lead. To have stayed would have been painful and self-destructive and defeating.

So it’s uncommonly admirable to find a writer of Jim’s particular vintage, with newprint in his genes, still cranking out the daily copy while so conspicously not dead prematurely, from superannuation of the innards.

And the insufferable Yuppie arrivistes, in their bright galluses and floppy bows? They had the last laugh, didn’t they?

Good morning all. Both primaries are getting interesting now, in the build up for Feb 5. Huckabee has topped out - if he cannot get more than 30% of the vote in SC, he cannot get it anywhere (other than perhaps Arkansas.) My guy Fred, everyone’s second choice, has a tough call - if he leaves the race, that is the same as annointing Mitt (as I assume he and Mitt are splitting the conservatives.) My guess is that Fred will stay in until Feb 6 (after all, the cost of staying in three more weeks is almost $0.) I think Rudy will kill McCain in the big states, so after Feb 6 it will be down to Rudy and Mitt.

On the Democrat side, Obama continues to impress me, taking a leaf out of the Reagan play book. The leftists on this blog do not remember how Reagan made it easy for blue collar and unionists to vote for him, by saying a few good words about FDR. More to the point, Hillary and Edwards continue to prove their political tone-deafness, making it impossible for the 65% (who mourned at Reagan’s death) to vote for them.

I like Jim Wooten, a real journalist. He’s an honest to goodness editor who has to get along with the other(political) 99% of the AJC. Now that is enough to drive anyone to drink but appearantly he has not succumbed to such a weakness. Maybe a mint julep or two.

That librul McCain won and if he keeps going we’ll have a bunch of Mexicans that get legal and take our jobs.

I reckon the voters over there had a choice between putting God in the constatution and keeping the war going, and the war won. Its awful when a voter has to choose between God and fighting a war. There ought to be a constatutional amendment against that.

I think this Mormon heathen Romney is finished. He’s done fired so many people in his life I expect he has fired all his campaign people. Its for sure he would make the federal guvmint a lot smaller. By firing everybody.

One thing you got to hand to this Giuliani, every time he swaps out a wife its for a better looking one. I imagine in five more wifes or so he will be married to Miss America. If he was President he could have the whole FBI squiring his wife around on grocery shopping trips and keeping the next one safe.

But who cares what this Osama Hussein gets in the votes of Those People? There won’t be enough of them to get him elected. Its for sure the good Southren people won’t vote for him. I expect this Hillary woman that ought to be in the kitchen baking cookies will be the librul Democrat pick.

T_Folk @ 11:08:

You ask, “Why should it matter what percentage of SC’s voters are black?”

As a matter of fact it matters greatly, sir, or ma’am. It’s important to know who’s voting; that is, how many of them, and whose they are. Moreover, it’s an important tradition in these states united.

Even before the federals set up their Census and turned things over to the bureaucrats, the good people who ran things knew to keep a regular head count, and to note people’s comings and goings. It just made good sense.

How would we even know whether giving the blacks the right to vote was a good idea, if we didn’t know how many of them vote, or whether any of them care to vote after all. I realize that that may sound harsh to you, but it’s expensive for the taxpayers to set up a system in which some people can vote, and if they aren’t voting then maybe something’s wrong with the system. See what I mean?

And it’s not just a question of numbers. Who are the so-called “blacks” who vote? For all the money we’re spending, how do we even know they’re really black? I’ve got one-eighth Cherokee in me, and I reckon there could just as easily be a Miss Hemmings somewhere up my family tree. I don’t claim to be better than Jefferson, you know.

So heavens yes, it matters in this day and age how many black folk vote in South Carolina. Instead of asking why it matters, you ought to give some hard thought to how best we can find the answers to these important questions.

Just as in my case, family values is very important to Huck. His son David is quite the character.

Republicans need to go on the family values offensive again if we are to keep the White House. Take the New England Patriots play-off game today. A group I organized will be protesting the NFL uniform. Tom Brady has no shame in the way he wears his uniform, and his actions could corrupt our innocent youth.

Its time to cover up NFL! Those uniforms leave little to the imagination, and I don’t like the idea of seeing Tom Brady naked. Disgusting.

I am sponsoring legislation that would require football players to wear small Velcro attached skirts to cover up their rear ends. If that doesn’t pass I will introduce a back up bill that would ban certain pant colors. White and tan should be banned because of the effect.

George of Arabia: Better Kiss Your Abe ‘Goodbye’ Greg Palast

Bend over, pull out your wallet and kiss your Abe ‘goodbye.’ The Lincolns have got to go - and so do the Hamiltons and Jacksons.

Those bills in your billfold aren’t yours anymore. The landlords of our currency - Citibank, the national treasury of China and the House of Saud - are foreclosing and evicting all Americans from the US economy.

It’s mornings like this, when I wake up hung-over to photos of the King of Saudi Arabia festooning our President with gold necklaces, that I reluctantly remember that I am an economist; and one with some responsibility to explain what the hell Bush is doing kissing Abdullah’s camel.

Let’s begin by stating why Bush is not in Saudi Arabia. Bush ain’t there to promote ‘Democracy’ nor peace in Palestine, nor even war in Iran. And, despite what some pinhead from CNN stated, he sure as hell didn’t go to Riyadh to tell the Saudis to cut the price of oil.

What’s really behind Bush’s hajj to Riyadh is that America is in hock up to our knickers. The sub-prime mortgage market implosion, hitting a dozen banks with over $100 billion in losses, is just the tip of the debt-berg.

Speaking of unity, we all should vet Obama from every angle. I know nothing about him but the flighty Newsweek-type info., which is to say I know nothing about him. It’s obvious that many of his supporters don’t really know about him either. I think a lot of people have sort of put their Obama homework at the bottom of the stack.

Good? Bad? A uniter? A divider (like Edwards and Huckabee)? I got no idea. I don’t care if he sold lids in high school or had an affair a few years ago, but we should know a lot more about him, his weaknesses as a leader, his chief strengths, any vulnerabilities our enemies could optimize, etc.

I’d run down the rumors that Hillary’s oppo shop is putting out via its blog cut-outs, but I’ve already wasted time running some of that junk to ground only to find that it’s completely impossible, made-up nonsense, so I’m trying to find some at least slightly reputable or otherwise accountable sources that would know and tell about him, as I know no one in Chicago or Springfield.

As Americans look ahead to the new year and reflect on the year past, a recent Gallup Poll finds the public generally content with their own lives. Most Americans say they are generally happy, with a slim majority saying they are “very happy.” More than 8 in 10 Americans say they are satisfied with their personal lives at this time, including a solid majority who say they are ‘very satisfied.’

Gee. I can’t wait for My Mommy Nanny Pelosi and The Shrill to help me reduce myself to the misery of others who are too lazy to get off their @sses and enjoy the fruits and opportunities of what’s available to us in this Great Nation.

Then again, the left never played on the success stories in this nation - they have always just punished them and play on those with no willpower to better themselves - WITHOUT government assistance. At least since JFK anway. Today it’s “what can your country do for YOU?” God help us. Our Forefathers would be saying “we fought for freedom of oppressive taxation and individuality for THIS?”

Red, White and Blue Tag Sale

When President Bush finished doing his sword dances and Arabian stallion inspections, when he finished making a speech in Abu Dhabi on the importance of freedom that fell flat, when he finished lounging in his fur-lined George of Arabia robe in the Saudi king’s tent, he came home.

Or he came to what was left of home.

A Washington Post cartoon by Tom Toles summed it up best: “Great to be home,” W. enthuses on Air Force One, heading toward the East Coast. “Anything interesting happen while I was gone?” Hanging on the skyline of New York is a sign reading: “U.S.A.

January 20, 2008 5:10 PM | Link to this

There are some ideas that are funny, there are some ideas that are sad, there are even some ideas that are pitiful, and then there are ideas that are truly pathetic beyond all reasoning.

There is this woman who is running for president who has been an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq. Well, sort of critical, depending on what time of the month it is – so to speak. If the war is going good, she’s for it. If it’s going bad, she’s against it. That’s real leadership there folks. A few weeks ago this woman made a comment which may very well be the most pathetic yet revealing on the true character of this character running: “The reason things are going well in Iraq is because of my comment made to start withdrawing troops in Iraq in January 2009.”

In other words, according to The Socialist Self-Appointed Queen, her words, and her words only, struck fear in Iraqis and they decided to straighten up together.

No mention of violence being way down since the surge, no mention of Iraqis coming together since the surge, and no mention of schools and businesses opening up at increasing frequency since the surge. C

Certainly there was no mention of her or many of her pathetic non-leading left wing ilk in Congress being against the War in Iraq only after the going started going rough, although they voted for war authority initially.

Kindly note not one Democrat candidate is referring much about the war these days other than the Breck Girl ambulance chaser, who, like a little primping prissy school girl, has a hard time getting the attention of the big boys.

It’s truly telling about the leadership qualities of the candidates on the left. Why, if we want leaders to just follow what other people think and say, what the hell do we need leaders for?

But back to Hillarity, there are two issues here: 1) what kind of arrogant individual does it take to make such a brazen and completely self-centered comment which is not only a fictional statement but a flat out LIE (yes a REAL lie, not a Bush “lie”) and 2) what does it say about the intellect of those out there who actually support this woman? No wonder one of her senior campaign advisers got nailed for a DUI.

That “iron my shirt” clown was a Hillarity camp plant to bring out the victimhood mentality for Hillarity. Boo hoo.

Well, isn’t this cute. All these upstanding, righteous wingnuts all up in arms over hardball voter suppression tactics. Why, they are shocked SHOCKED to discover such goings on.

The Artist Formerly Known as Heywood (TAFKAH) takes a break from sucking the brains out of unborn babies (aka Sabbath Dinner for us liberals) to anticipate the clutched pearls of horror when the large-legged woman of Westchester County becomes President and, faced with an expanded unitary executive power never before dreamed of, launches her Glorious Dictatorship of the Abortitariat. Indeed, we may end up with Hillary dancing about the Oval Office balancing a globe of the Earth on her fingertips. Outraged Right Thinkers will howl at the violence done to the Constitution, at the re-education camps for wingnut spewers, at the forced sex ed for pre-K students (including demonstration sessions with Steely Dans and Armand Clockhammers, conducted by Bill the Clenis himself).

Once proud bloviators like Russert and Matthews and Limbaugh and Hannity will be forced, Abu Graib-style, to ram the wrecked ‘ems of each other with splintery mop and broom handles, while Malkin and Coulter are forced to munch each other’s carpets in lieu of actual food.

And these howls of protest will rise as if on wings to the balcony where Eva Clagina laughs her maniacal screech and says, tough t!ts, suckers, YOU made it all possible. And at that she will force Georgie to open his imbecilic gorge to take yet another dump of Freedom (TM) as Laura, stoned on Xanax and sated by the constant pump pump pump of the Clenis, smiles emptily as the Clagina’s discharge fills the ex-Pres’s pie hole.

There are few things better than great Conservative opinion pieces:

{{{{The prissiness of the press. When the press uses the word “attack”—as it does regularly—you might think a mugging or some other act of violence had taken place. Nope. All it means is that one presidential candidate has criticized another, usually by favorably contrasting his or her record with that of an opponent. If this is done in a speech, the candidate is “going negative.” A TV ad that criticizes or contrasts is an “attack ad.”}}}}

{{{{This has left very little of significance to discuss. So each has picked a vague topic to emphasize. Obama will bring us together, Clinton is a change agent, and Edwards will drive the unholy lobbyists out of the temples of government in Washington. Now race has slipped in the back door of the campaign to become an issue.}}}}

~~~~~

{{{{Obviously, as America’s “newspaper of record,” the Times would resent any suggestion that it’s anti-military. I’m sure if you were one of these crazed military stalker whackjobs following the reporters home you’d find their cars sporting the patriotic bumper sticker “We Support Our Troops, Even After They’ve Been Convicted.” As usual, the Times stories are written in the fey, more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger tone that’s a shoo-in come Pulitzer time.}}}}

{{{{Thus, with declining deaths in the war zones, the media narrative evolves. Old story: “America’s soldiers are being cut down by violent irrational insurgents we can never hope to understand.” New story: “Americans are being cut down by violent irrational soldiers we can never hope to understand.” In the quagmire of these veterans’ minds, every leafy Connecticut subdivision is Fallujah and every Dunkin’ Donuts clerk an Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.}}}}

{{{{Au contraire, the columnist Ralph Peters calculated that Iraq and Afghanistan vets are about one-fifth as likely to murder you as the average 18-to-34-year-old American male. Better yet, the blogger Iowahawk meticulously drew his own “patchwork picture” of another “quiet phenomenon”: the Denver newspaper columnist arrested for stalking, the Cincinnati TV reporter facing child-molestation charges, the Philadelphia anchorwoman who went on a violent drunken rampage. As Iowahawk’s one-man investigative unit wondered:}}}}

{{{{“Unrelated incidents, or mounting evidence that America’s newsrooms have become a breeding ground for murderous, drunk, gun-wielding child molesters?”}}}}

{{{{Our war has one of the lowest fatality rates of any war ever, and, when they get so low that even Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid temporarily give up the quagmire bleating, the Times invents bogus stories to suggest that the few veterans lucky enough to make it out of Iraq alive are ticking time-bombs ready to explode across every Main Street in the land.}}}}
