Pelosi Citing Contempt - Everyone Has Contempt for Congress!
When Congress fails to pass the terrorist surveillance bill to protect Americans, it is being done to insure that lawyers can sue phone companies that cooperated with the government in their effort to protect the country and American citizens - I guess a party that gets a large amount of money from trial lawyers. Someone should write a song called “Sue, sue, sue” and then Congress could use it as their theme song. I am so encouraged by how this Congress uses its time instead of spending time to investigate Roger Clemens and then have the FBI spend their time in investigating Roger Clemens. I would prefer that Congress and the FBI spend time doing those things that they are supposed to be doing, then there wouldn’t be so much contempt for Congress, the FBI, and other arms of the Justice Department. Does it matter who answers the phone at 3 a.m. in the White House if the Congress and Justice Department are failing in their pursuit of their duties? They may as well chase rabbits.
Reading today about how the 2007 poppy crop was a great success. That means the Taliban, through sale of drugs, are able to finance their military needs in their pursuit of re-taking Afghanistan. NATO is not pulling their share of the load and are leaving it to the Americans. There is no strong government in Afghanistan, consequently no action is taken on destroying the poppy crop. There is absolutely no reason that we couldn’t send in spray planes to destroy the crops before they ripen. To protect the spray planes, we could send in gunships and this problem would be erased.

Afghan poppy production grew to record in ‘07March 1, 2008
By Jerry Seper - Narcotics production in Afghanistan hit historic highs in 2007 for the second straight year, providing revenue and arms to the Taliban and “undercutting” efforts to establish a stable democracy in that country, the State Department said yesterday.
The department, in its annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, said the Afghan government “must take decisive action” against poppy cultivation and do so soon to turn back the drug threat before its further growth and consolidation make it even tougher to defeat.
Choice - The Past or The Future - You Choose
The fear they have of Romney is merited because the future may just pass them by, and they have never seen past the end of their nose. The old boy mentality of Washington exists and will continue to exist until an outsider comes in and plows some new ground. As you know, new ground has a variety of obstacles, and this would be true of our old boy Congress and Senate.
I hear all the Democratic analysts saying that the Republican Conservatives have no choice but to come to McCain’s aid in the election. They are feeling real good about McCain’s chances because they know that whether Hillary or McCain wins, they will have one of their own in power. It will spell the end of the Republican party. Talk about happy, big smiles on their faces!
I would like to bring to your attention the National Organization of Women. They are so upset by Teddy Kennedy backing Obama instead of a woman, they feel abandoned and full of despair. We know how they back women. Look at how they fought for Monica Lewinsky, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, and others that the Clintons described as “Bimbo eruptions”. The women of this country can feel so safe with NOW protecting them, unless Bill Clinton wants to use them and/or have his way with them while Hillary looks on as she is controlling him.
The statement she made that she could control him becomes a laughing matter. I think even the Democrats are beginning to see through the veil that they themselves established around the Clintons and tried to protect them from the world view for their serious flaws. They both remind me of Dorian Gray and the Democrats are looking in the closet at the mirror, finally.
Now I will go in a direction that is the third rail in many ways. I do not believe the Democrats are patriots. I think they are interested in destroying the country. For instance:
- Brattleboro, Vermont, wanting to impeach President Bush and Vice President Chaney
Mrs. Clinton and Her Husband The Black Knight
Mrs. Clinton talking about Obama, saying politicians should be what they say and responsible for what they have done. Does she mean Bill and his sexual peccadilloes? Heard a Democratic female analyst saying that Bill was just being gallant in defending Mrs. Clinton. Gallantry would be the last thing I would expect from Bill Clinton. Can’t you just imagine Bill on a horse jousting and wearing Mrs. Clinton’s colors? Sir Galahad he is not, but more like the Black Knight. See attached:
Your distinct personality, The Black Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to win. You approach each task or situation as a contest to be won strategically and efficiently. Because you can control your feelings, it is not unusual for you to charm, as well as successfully delegate tasks and responsibilities to the more emotional types. You are often concerned with what’s in it for you. You seldom involve yourself in activities where you can not foresee a reward for your investment or effort. On the positive side, you can be analytically empathic and logically persuasive. On the negative side, you may be unemotionally manipulative as well as impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today’s corporate kingdoms.
His attacks against Obama are carefully considered, measured, and planned to do the maximum damage. He is the master of lying, using lies and innuendo in his attacks, and as of right now, they are succeeding.
Obama needs his own Goebbels. Mrs. Clinton has a lot of them - the best being her husband. Mrs. Clinton and her husband seem to be based on the old concept of divide and conquer. The liberal media and the Democrats have been pushing McCain for the Republican nomination. It may be working. Think about their motive. Do we want to elect someone who the Democrats favor? I say that they are hoping to destroy the Republican party by splitting away the Conservatives who will not vote for McCain - another instance where they are using divide and conquer.
Now Huckabee is attacking Romney as McCain’s surrogate, I am sure setting himself up to be the Vice Presidential nominee. With a McCain/Huckster ticket, it will be the demise of the Republican party. The Democratic party can surely defeat a faux Republican ticket. As the primary continues, I can see Edwards becoming a stalking horse for Mrs. Clinton. Note their private meeting after the last Democratic debate. Carl Cameron, political guru on Fox, is in his own way trying to push McCain and down Romney. It has become so apparent it makes me wonder if he shouldn’t be called a member of the liberal media.

Bill Clinton saying he heard a culinary workers union official threaten a worker to vote for Obama or else - this is, I am sure, one out-and-out lie. The Clintons will stoop at nothing to win. Bill is licking his chops with the idea of becoming a stealth President. God save the country from this! Anyone who thinks this wouldn’t happen, I have a Great Wall of China to sell you. Bill is so mad at the media for not helping Hillary enough - poor baby.
One thing I have noticed this time versus when he was President - he gets more red-faced and mad now than then because he doesn’t have a staff around him to protect and use the words “out of context” for his cover. Let’s face it, women and Perot put Bill in, and now he is out trying to use his charm to help Hillary get the women’s votes.
Hillary is showing her softer side and appearing on tv teardrop shows to enhance her appeal to women voters, and it seems to be working, God forbid. Another thing that seems to be working is the Clintons’ spokesmen bringing up the race issue and Obama’s drug use when he was young, and which he has admitted to. The Clintons believe all’s fair in war and politics. In fact, they have a war room in their headquarters.
Just saw the Nevada caucuses and the South Carolina primaries - a few observations… The Huckster blaming his loss on Fred Thompson and also said McCain ran a decent campaign and inferred that Romney didn’t because he and Thompson brought up the Huckster’s record. I think both he and McCain’s record should be brought up repeatedly. The media and the debate moderators had a lot to do with Fred Thompson’s numbers.
Thompson was also responsible partly, but there is no question that the liberal media was pushing Huckabee, as he would be the easiest to beat by Democrats, and of course McCain has always been a media darling since he was beat by Bush, as they HATE Bush with a passion. Even Fox went along with the derision accorded Thompson. I wish he had enough funds to continue the race and would expand on his message. If he could do this, and the media gave him an even break, he would be the nominee.
As far as I am concerned, the only thing I welcomed from the South Carolina primary is that the lesser of two evils won. At least I might vote for McCain over Hillary. But if the Huckster won the nomination, I would vote for Hillary over him. One thing about Huckabee is he sure can talk. All those people from Hope, Arkansas can talk. Note the Huckster’s concession speech and Clinton’s speech at the Democratic convention in 1988. Hope, Arkansas is also the capital of sleaze. Hillary lived there.

Those who believe that the Clintons had nothing to do with the lawsuit about moving the caucus out of where the Democrats had set it up to be also believe that the Earth is flat. Sure is funny - everything was going along swimmingly until the culinary workers union gave their endorsement to Obama. Never saw Bill’s face so flushed since the Wallace interview. Sure hope he doesn’t have a heart attack.
I saw Hillary’s stewardess, or flight attendants act. All I will say is I would suggest she doesn’t do an encore performance. The Clintons will continue to use dirty tactics. They will just be more careful in how they use innuendo accidental remarks, but not accidentally. Bill will continue to complain about the media being unfair. He can’t understand why the media’s love affair with him is cooling. The only media completely in love with the Clintons now is the Clinton News Network. You can tell they are by their polls - Hillary is always up far more than any other poll. There is no doubt that polls DO influence. That is why I always dissect polls to see if some pollster is trying to influence the vote. Anyone who thinks pollsters don’t do this believe the cow did jump over the moon.
Now let’s go over the records of John McCain and Mike Huckabee, even though they think to mention their records is an ATTACK. John McCain worked to take free speech out of politics with Feingold - you remember, the McCain/Feingold Act. He worked with Teddy Kennedy, the Olympic swimmer, to try to give 12 to 20 million Latinos amnesty. This was scotched by the American people raising their voices in a louder manner than had been done previously.
McCain voted against Bush’s tax cuts twice. Now he says he would vote to extend them (he says). He said he would close the border (he says). He talks about all his years in the Senate. What did HE do? A lot (he says). He did work with the Democrats quite extensively (he says) and (he did). Guess who helped to keep drilling from being conducted in ANWR? (He did). He always brings up his war record. I know REAL war heroes who would NEVER use it for advancement. He talks about being a straight shooter. I guess he proves this by how he opposed Bush at every turn with the Democrats. He says he is a straight shooter (he says). He talks about how honest he is - let’s not forget the Keating Five. Somehow I think this record needs to be examined.
Sphere: Related ContentPondering Campaigns - Attacks and Facts
Topics to cover and ponder over in the political campaigns:
- Hillary says the surge was to give space and time for the Iraqis to get their legislation program together and they didn’t. Leaves me to wonder - there was no obstacle in the way of a Democratic Congress, and yet they got nothing done.
- I saw Hillary on Meet the Press with Tim Russert. She must have used the word “context” twenty times. The word means environment setting and parts of a discourse. The word can be used to be able to deny and to cover up, as Huckabee did when he brought up Romney being a Mormon - how crude.
- Senator John Cornyn presented an amendment that would have permanently banned gang members, terrorists, sex offenders, alien absconders, those convicted of domestic violence, and aliens convicted of three DUIs in the United States from becoming legal immigrants. The amendment was defeated by 51-46 and guess what? McCain voted against it!
- Former Senator Tim Hutchinson from Arkansas comparing Huckabee to Reagan made me want to vomit.
- John McCain and the Huckster protests their records being brought up. That does not compute.
- Bob Johnson of BET bringing up Obama’s use of cocaine when young. Andrew Cuomo, New York State Attorney General, saying Obama’s speeches were “Shuck and Jive”. Bill Shaheen, co-chair of Hillary’s campaign inferring that Obama was a drug pusher and Bill Clinton calling Obama’s remarks a fairy tale and you tell me the Clinton administration is not racists and pigs fly!
- The Clintons claim that they have done so much for African Americans. Can you tell me what? I know Bill played golf with some high and mighty African-Americans who are isolated from their African-American people in the lower class. Bush placed more African-Americans in his administration, including Secretary of State Rice and Secretary of Defense Colin Powell and many others.
- The average of polls produced by Real Clear Politics include polls by CNN, Zogby, USA Today/Gallup, NBC/WSJ, and Rasmussen and the average is heavily influenced by the Clinton News Network. See attached:

McCain and Huckabee - Media Darlings… Not Good!
For those who say Clinton was a good President, consider this: he used what he called the peace dividend and cut the military - then as the terrorists bombed our embassies, the first attack on the towers, the Cole, he took NO action. When the Monica incident happened, he, being the tail, wagged the dog and sent the Air Force into Bosnia, and after a few months, the Serbian forces gave up. Our great General there at the time was Wesley Clark. Should Hillary win the election, guess who her Secretary of Defense would be? And as far as I am concerned, he would be another Secretary of Defense in the manner of another Democrat, Les Aspen - remember Black Hawk Down?
I am sure world opinion was glad to see us put our tail between our legs and leave Somalia. The Clinton administration didn’t rock the boat, and the reason the economy was good was because of the Republicans taking back the Congress in 1994. They passed the welfare program and some other programs, which Clinton signed, and they helped the economy. Then the dot com bubble came, and when it burst in 2000, we went into recession and Bush inherited the problem - what with all Clinton’s skulduggery, giving technology to China and in return getting campaign contributions from them. This continues with Hillary and Norman Hsu. I don’t know what happened to Charlie Tree, Clinton’s buddy.
As far as Bill’s morality is concerned, it was like a dog in heat. The Democrats didn’t mind his rape and sexual harassment. I would say this reflects quite poorly on Democrats who froth at the mouth if some Republican does something wrong. Remember Foley? But Barney Frank had a gay sex bordello in his home and nothing happened. John Tower was known as a womanizer and drinker and he was denied a cabinet post because of this - double standards abound. Senator Packwood was forced to resign for groping women, but Clinton could rape and grope and the Democrats LOVE him. I ask you, would you want Clinton back in the White House with his wife?
The winning of the Iowa caucus by Huckabee doesn’t prove that he would be a good President - only that the evangelist Christians in Iowa can easily be led like sheep by a good huckster, not a good shepherd. Huckabee, with his guitar playing, sorta reminds me of “A Face in the Crowd” - check that out. I don’t think he is the goody two shoes people think he is, and he is definitely not a Conservative - look at his record on taxes and immigration, also crime. Not my cup of tea! How come he is not getting beat up like Dukakis did in releasing a criminal who killed again? What about his pardoning a record number of criminals?
Sphere: Related ContentPoisoning the Well of Politics and Markets
Huckabee won - what else would you expect from someone with a devious mind? I guess the media has forgotten about him poisoning the well with the Mormon comment and putting this out repeatedly by his minions. The media was all concerned about how McCain was treated in South Carolina in the election of 2000, but never mentioned the underhanded things that McCain’s people pulled in Michigan following South Carolina. My perception of this caucus does not agree in many ways with the opinions of the talking heads on tv.
I do agree with them on Clinton’s problems coming in third place with the all-out effort of all the big guns, including hubby Bill, who Hillary stood by for all his endeavors with bimbos of all kinds. Sometimes they were willing, but the other times took rape and sexual harassment. She even stood by twelve years, willing to have him dally with Gennifer Flowers. If she stands by this slap in the face from him, will she stand by foreign countries taking advantage of America? Will she care too much about world opinion and allow these things to continue to America’s detriment as her husband did? There is no doubt she allowed it to happen, with her eye on the Presidency and NOT with Christian charity. She accused Obama of wanting to be President. There is no doubt she had her eye on it for decades, much longer than he thought about it - kindergarten does not apply.
Just read that the Deputy Defense Secretary, Gordon England, fired a Pentagon specialist on Islamic law because he crossed a Muslim on England’s staff. Seems that England and the Muslim on his staff have an outreach program to Muslim groups. Sorry to say, but this leaves me very anxious and concerned for the safety of Americans. This also makes me wonder if Mr. England could be another Richard Hansen and the father of the leaks of classified intelligence to the New York Times. I think that it would behoove Mr. Gates, the Secretary of Defense, to investigate this matter. Also, I think the new Attorney General, instead of appointing an outside council to investigate the CIA interrogations, he should have that be done to his Deputy Secretary.
Just went to the grocery store again today. Prices are up dramatically, AGAIN, over the past week. Anyone reading this, please check your local grocery prices, and if you notice what I have, please call your Congressman - tell them to stop the ethanol fiasco - drill for oil in Alaska off our coast - and start extracting oil from the oil shale in the western states. If you can’t see any or hardly any prices going up, chalk me up for a nut and forget about it. However, if you do find what I say is true, then follow through. What this reminds me of is the book and movie Children of the Corn.
Sphere: Related ContentAside From Iowa Caucus Fiasco, The Politics of Energy and Food
While this fiasco election, called Iowa State Caucus, is unfolding, this date I will write about a few other things.
The Democratic Congress is starting off the new year in their usual way - no legislation, but lots of investigations. They did this all through 2007 and now are continuing into 2008. They are now after CIA agents who might have used some unusual methods to gain information from terrorists to save American lives. That doesn’t matter to the Democrats. All they want to do is take away all tools available to secure our safety and to embarrass the Republican party. They have ruined many lives by their allegations, which they use as weapons, whether based in fact or not.
We know how they participated in helping Bill ruin the lives of Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and lie straight out to the American people about Monica Lewinsky. And he also lied to the Grand Jury. And boy do they cover for their own - Jack Murtha, Alcee Hastings, Barney Frank, the Cold Cash Kid (William Jefferson), and then they go with vigor to attack Republicans for any and everything. One instance of this is Senator Conrad Burns, who was defeated due to their allegations and long knives, but has been cleared of all allegations.
The politics of energy has reared its ugly head. Constantly during the past few years, no action has been taken except subsidizing crops that can be used for ethanol, which will make these crops too high in price for the farmers feeding out beef, pork, chicken, etc. It will represent the highest grocery prices ever and will hurt, drastically, poor families, but will make the environmental nuts feel good and will not hurt them because they are in the main, children of liberal activists with wealth, and have never faced any real obstacles. In other words, they are rich brats, such as Robert Kennedy Jr. and Al Gore.
If congress was really concerned, they could open up Alaska and use the oil shale in the western states. This would help, immeasurably, our balance of payments and would lower the deficit. There will be no action taken on this by Congress. It’s the same as the social security problem, which they will not touch.

Personally I am very glad that the CIA tapes were destroyed before some renegade CIA Democrat leaked them to the New York Times. I would take great pleasure in finding out who these disloyal CIA agents were that leaked the stories to The Times. The CIA apparently has not been able to arrive at a program that eliminates a possibility of political actions by agents. They even allowed an al-Qaeda mole in their organization. I would say they need to re-investigate all personnel in their employ.
I haven’t seen or heard of any attempt to uncover the persons involved in those security leaks. They are not Democrats like Pockets Berger, so you would think the Democratic Congress wouldn’t object to finding out who they were - or were they Democrats? If only Congress would work on some legislation with all the passion they show in their appearances on TV, expounding on this CIA infraction. If only they would attend to their own infractions in the same manner - wouldn’t it be nice?
I believe there is one Senator named Patrick Leahy who was caught leaking intelligence and had to leave the intelligence committee in 1985. Now he’s called “Leaky Leahy”. Also, now he is head of the Judiciary Committee. I guess he got a slap on the wrist, as he is one of the good ol’ boys.
I watched the exciting Republican debate conducted by that liberal zombie who made it about anything but what the Republicans thought the key issues were of the day - Iraq and illegal immigration. Do you suppose she was a Democrat in any life she might have ever had? I have been watching all the debates and candidates during this election. What I want most to hear is action taken on energy, not empty talk - someone who wants to drill in ANWR, process the oil from the shale out west, and be serious about not sending billions to the Arab oil producing countries to continue our dollar problem. Also, be clear on the English language only in our schools and job market. Whoever asserts these actions firmly will have MY vote.
Huckabee says how he was able to out-fox the Clinton machine in Arkansas. I hate to say it, but seems a lot of them rubbed off on Huckabee. Like his statement about the devil and Jesus being brothers in the Mormon religion, and then taking it back and apologizing to Romney after it had already done its damage - how Clintonesque. Same as some Clinton Democrat said about Obama’s drug use as a youth and then apologized to Obama after the DAMAGE has been done. Seems Huckabee learned the Clinton’s dirty tricks! I guess no one paid attention to Huckabee’s born in a cabin statement. At least he didn’t say log cabin. Huckabee is still using his faith to buy votes. I don’t believe the Bible encourages this practice. Way to go PREACHER!
