He doesn't care

You know after the 9/11 attacks I couldn't wait to see Osama Bin Laden's head on a platter. Looks like when Barrack Obama wins in November he is going to be the one with that honor since Bush, as usual, doesn't care about anything that happened that day. Want proof??

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/2224726/White-House-in-fighting-stalled-Osama-bin-Laden-hunt-in-Pakistan.html

So let's look at Bush's scorecard:

9/11 happened. He doesn't care. He doesn't want to avenge those who died and since he'd rather be at peace with his business partners (Osama Bin Laden's family) he'd rather sit it out. What a a-hole.

Hypocrites

I see where more of the same McCain's people are upset at honest statements made by Gen. Wesley Clark saying how more of the same McCain lacks "command experience" to be President. And of course more of the same McCain wants an apology.

I find them hypocrites on a couple of fronts. First I find it odd that in the same week where one of more of the same McCain's surrogates said how a terrorist attack would be an advantage for more of the same McCain and didn't hear any demands for an apology where in fact the surrogate should have resigned for those honestly disgusting statements.

Second if more of the same McCain's people are upset about this where were these when swift-boaters were attack a TRUE war hero in John Kerry in 2004??

Activist Judges

I posted about this when I first heard the case and I was right about the outcome. The activist judges at the Supreme Court violated the constitution by ruling against the Washington D.C. gun ban. I'm not shocked considering how Bush has turned the court into a wing of the Republican Party. For those who need a reminder here is what the constitution says regarding the amendment:

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment02/
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

And again here is a definition of militia:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Militia

–noun
1.a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies.
2.a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers.
3.all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service.
4.a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed interference of the federal government.

So yet again putting their personal views above the constitution and the court got it wrong.

Best Jokes

You know the best jokes are the ones that are not written.

http://sfist.com/2008/03/31/presidential_me_1.php

They want to rename a sewage plant in San Francisco after Bush. Considering how he has treated the United States I say that's more then fitting!

Who Hurts

While over on Robert's website he jumps on the Bush everything in the economy's ok bandwagon REAL people are hurting in today's economy. Just yesterday United Airlines laid off several hundred pilots (some serving in Iraq to further insult our troops) but you don't hear about small businesses also hurting. I found this to make my point.

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/PainAtThePump/story?id=5213878&page=1

So Robert people are hurting right now despite your misinformed views.

By the way if you wanna see something really funny Tom sent me this one and I found a link for him.

R.I.P.

I was saddened to learn of the death of George Carlin. He was one of my favorites. I hope he is resting in peace and thank you for the laughs.

Who doesn't love America?

So with the crap Michelle Obama is taking for her comments "For the first time in my adult life I love America" (paraphrasing a bit) I wonder when the media is going to pick up on the exact same comments more of the same McCain said. Here is a link for the exact comments and if ANY right-winger uses Obama's comments they will be reminded of more of the same McCain saying the same thing!

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=John+McCain+I+didn%E2%80%99t+really+love+America+until+I+was+deprived+of+her+company.%E2%80%9D&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

It doesn't work

Another example on how trickle down economics doesn't work. The theory that Republicans claim work is you raise profits and they will trickle down to the workers. That isn't true. Yet another example is how CEO pays have increased in 2007. Meanwhile where do the people who are hurting come in?? Nowhere. Anyone who claims this voodoo economics works is just a simple idiot who doesn't know or just ignores the facts regarding this. And it doesn't matter how smart they claim they are the facts again state otherwise!

Finally

We finally have the proof on what I've been saying all along. This occupation of Iraq was SOLELY for the oil companies. Check these stories out:

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/19/africa/19iraq.php

Bush, Cheney all of these a-holes DESERVE to be impeached, charged, tried and convicted for EVERY DEATH they caused in Iraq from soldiers to citizens cause of their greed and desire to make the oil companies rich! This is why we are in this DISASTER!

Point Counterpoint

While trying to figure out what slime the Republicans are going to try to bring up against the next President Barrack Obama whatever they try Obama can counter. Here are some examples:

Republicans will try to use Rev. Wright against Obama. Obama can counter with more of the same McCain's association with Hagee.

Republicans can try to use the bitter comments Obama said. Obama can counter with the not important when troops come home comments or we will be in Iraq for 100 years comments.

Republicans can try to claim about Obama's voting record claiming how liberal it is. Obama can counter with more of the same McCain voting with Republicans 85% of the time.

Republicans can claim how inexperienced Obama is on National Security and the phony war on terror. Obama can counter how the person behind the attacks on 9/11 is still at large and how Bush has said he doesn't think about him anymore. Obama can also remind how during a Democratic Administration (President Bill Clinton) both times there were attacks (the first World Trade Center Bombing and Oklahoma City) the people behind them were caught, convicted and are currently serving sentences or put to death!

Any attack Republicans can come up with against Obama he can counter.

Just say no

I saw a story where the idiot in the White House backed by more of the same McCain is going to ask Congress to lift the ban on offshore oil drilling so his oil buddies can continue to make record profits cause that's NOT going to do a thing to drop prices even though that is what they will claim.

I hope Congress tell Bush and more of the same McCain what they can do with that request. This is not the answer finding alternatives to oil consumption is. That's what needs to be done and when Obama beats more of the same McCain in November we will have a president who will explore those opportunities!

A Historic Day......Maybe

Today is a historic day for the state of California as same-sex couples will be allowed to marry at 5:01 PM PST. While I'm waiting for a right-wing group to find an activist judge to stop this from happening (since we know they are homophobic and can't seem to accept this) I hope all couples, gay and straight be allowed to experience the joys and pains of marriage.

By the way a little sidebar Kern County, one of the most conservative counties in California, has decided to stop issuing licenses for all marriages because they feel it's better not to marry instead of allowing same-sex couples to marry. Nice huh??

Fair Game

So I read on ABC.com where Republicans are going to attack Michelle Obama specifically her "first time proud" comments she made earlier this year. Fine but that also makes more of the same John McCain's wife fair game as well. But then again we already have so many soundbites (like yesterdays) that more of the same McCain has said that it might not be necessary.

Not Important

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/06/11/mccain-iraq-important/

So more of the same McCain thinks it's "not that important" to bring home our troops in Iraq. He gives so many reasons NOT to vote for him it's pathetic. Anyone who thinks he will be any type of effective leader just watch him. He's nothing but a sad old man who should retire like most people his age!

I wonder how his son who is serving in Iraq feels that his dad doesn't care if he ever comes home? I bet not too good but I can't speak for him.

Once A Coward

As gas hits $4 a gallon nationwide (it's been like that here in California for awhile now) I'm just wondering where the man is who said "I don't know anyone who has said gas is going to hit four dollars a gallon" Bush: He of course being the coward that he is has run away to Europe instead of being here where he is needed. Just like he has done his whole life. Examples: Vietnam, arrests when he was young so many others.

Why Clinton Lost

So I keep hearing reports asking why Clinton Lost the nomination. Here is what I think(and these aren't in any order):

A) Her vote in support of our occupation in Iraq. She refused to say she was wrong on that and too many people don't want us to be there.

B) Arrogance. She was too cocky as the alleged front-runner and didn't take Obama seriously until the end. Same thing happened to the Republican alleged front-runner Gulliani.

C) Bad decisions. The 3 am add. Sending her surrogates like Geraldine Ferraro and Bill Clinton to attack Obama when she was scared to do much of the work herself.

D) Fundraising. This surprised me most of all. She was not as organized as Obama was.

E) Her sex. She kept saying how she was treated unfairly because she was a woman. Sorry to say but politics isn't fair.

I might add some more late but that's a start.

O Idiot

So today Bill O'Idiot says that Obama's policy's are bad for the U.S. I wonder though why he would think more of the same McCain's policy's will be any better?

More of the same McCain has said he wants to continue Bush's policy's of lying about war (as proven this week by multiple sources) of extremely high unemployment, of extremely high food prices, of RECORD high gas prices, of murdering our soldiers so companies associated with him can make record profits, of continuing tax cuts for people making millions while people with families are struggling to eat. Really who has bad policy's here?

There are so many reasons NOT to vote for more of the same McCain!

Saturday, June 07, 2008

WOW

Now THAT was a speech. If Hillary Clinton gave more speeches like that she would be the Democratic nominee instead of Barrack Obama. I just hope she lives up to her words and supports him in any way she can.

What's unpatriotic

You know one of the things that always upsets me is how Republicans claim they know what is patriotic. They claim how not supporting the war is not patriotic they claim how not wearing a flag pin on your tie is not patriotic they have claimed you have to support the Republican President otherwise you are not patriotic (while in the meantime attacking former Presidents Clinton and Carter on a regular basis).

To me though the most un-patriotic thing you can do is not use your right to vote. Even today even though here in California there is nothing major on the ballot and even though my mom is in the hospital with a broken hip I still went to my polling place and voted. I have not missed an election no matter where I lived since I turned 18.

The way I figure not voting is the most un-patriotic thing you can do.

Monday, June 02, 2008

Sorry

Sorry for the lack of posts the past couple of days but my mom is in the hospital with a broken hip. Please bare with me for a couple of days and I will be back in business. Thanks
