It’s not unlike the racism issue.. Minorities in our country want to, & should be treated with equal respect & opportunity, yet they often spend more time creating fringe groups & special interest clubs that only serve to isolate them from the rest of the country, by pointing out; “Hey, we deserve special attention, but we don’t want you to treat us any different”. HUH??!
Well in the same way, if women voters want to continue to be treated equal, it would be great if they’d speak up to these so called feminist groups & columnist who keep speaking for them, like they are too weak to think or speak for themselves. The very fact that countless articles like these exist, proves that extreme feminists are not feminists at all, they are just extremists who want to dictate to other women what is “proper” for a feminist to think, or support. I mean I don’t see any men writing to other men, “don’t be fooled by the fact Obama picked a MAN & not Hillary?” Where are all those articles? Was Obama pandering to men? Do men need to be convinced that he was or wasn’t by male saviors with pens in editorial positions? Of course not, & neither would a true feminist female.
Maybe I missed something, but I thought part of being a feminist was “free thinking”, apart from the idea that only men can succeed professionally. I didn’t realize that “free thinking” meant that you could only (as a woman) vote for someone who supported abortion rights & gay marriage, or face the ire & criticism of other women who fancy themselves the teachers & prophets of the feminist movement..
The bottom line is that when a Conservative group or individual chooses a woman to lead, it’s always called “pandering” by the leftist extremists in America, & when the left gives a woman a leadership position, they call it a different “p” word of course, “progress”.
What does that all amount to? It amounts to this: ‘You be a good little girl, & do exactly what we say, & we will let you have your progress, but if you decide to go your own way, you’re bepainted as a very bad girl, & a traitor.”
It’s the same thing that the left has done to blacks in this country. Don’t you DARE try to succeed without our help! Ask Clarence Thomas..
Hmmm… I don’t think I would ever want my daughter to be limited by that kind of fascist “feminism”.
Like most of our friends, my wife and I were ready to vote against Sen. Obama prior to his unfortunate pick of Sen. Biden as his running mate.
For a man from such humble beginnings who has risen to multi-millionaire status in just forty-six years. Obama’s notion that our country not yet good enough to suit his standards of fairness, equality, and opportunity just rings a bit hollow to those of us who have worked so hard to reach our dreams.
Obama’s idea that our nation owes the American dream to anyone who can crash our borders is frightening. Obama’s view that when we strive to do better for ourselves we have somehow been unfair to those who make no effort of their own, is wrong and unjust.
Sen. Obama’s ideas for change in America are far too dangerous for anyone who cares about our future to withhold his vote for Sen. McCain, just because McCain is not conservative enough.
Now that Gov. Palin has entered the picture the thought of voting for McCain feels less like blackmail and more like preparation for a brighter future. I don’t care if any displaced Clinton supporters vote McCain/Palin this November. We do not need the support of anyone who is so dogmatic about voting for a woman just because she is a woman.
Gov. Palin’s firsthand experience with ANWAR will bring needed clarity to the national debate about accessing our own oil reserves rather than spending billions of our dollars on oil that is owned by Islamic expansionists. Her understanding of the rights of firearms ownership and her experience at running a private business as well as running a state far exceed the limited scope of Obama and Biden combined.
When it comes to the issues that matter most to our safety and security a woman who has a proven history of performance that is grounded in the realities of faith, freedom, and family can be trusted to make the right decisions.
I can support four years of a McCain administration that is balanced by the influence of Vice President Palin. I look forward to the leadership of a woman president whose charm, ability to connect with the people, and conservative values inspire folks to compare her favorably to Ronald Regan.
Bennion Spencer is the Democratic nominee in Utah’s 3rd Congressional District. He said at one point to The Salt Lake Tribune, that Jesus would vote for him instead of the other candidate on the ticket. He later took it back in classic Democrat flip-flopping style.
Spencer said he thinks the Bush tax cuts hurt families and Jesus would oppose making them permanent, and that he would support a “very compassionate” immigration program.
I guess according to Spencer’s logic we’d need to just omit like, all of what the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 13 for the sake of his view on immigration policy:
1. Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4. For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”
Now obviously this doesn’t apply to a rogue Government like China or Russia, who as a matter of policy regularly persecute & oppress their people, so lets not confuse what was being said above, with those kind of Governments. If our Government were to become like that, it would certainly be appropriate to rebel. Our Government is not however oppressing legal citizens, & it is weakly enforcing the law against illegal ones as it is.
Oh, & then there’s this passage that most Democrats have all seemingly scratched out of their Bibles with a black magic marker: “If a man will not work, he should not eat.” II Thessalonians 3:10
If you’re going to use the Bible for political gain Mr. Spencer, you can’t just throw out the parts you don’t like. Too bad huh?
I can’t understand for the life of me how any thinking person can vote for people like this “Spencer for Hire” type dude.. Must be a lot of people that aren’t thinking persons out there?
On YOUR Dime: Congressmen Lease Luxury Cars
Little-Known But Exploited Loophole Allows Politicians To Drive, Maintain Expensive Cars, SUVs On Taxpayer Money..
Rep. Charles Rangel: ‘My Constituents Appreciate It’
Pablo Guzman Reporting NEW YORK (CBS) ― You may not realize it, but members of the House of Representatives can lease a car and have it paid for by you — the taxpayer. And it’s not just the car, but gas, registration, insurance … the works.
And as CBS 2 HD found out, there’s no limit on how much they can spend.
Congressman Charles Rangel was recently seen getting out of his Cadillac DeVille, which he leases for $774 per month. Then there was Congressman Jose Serrano, getting out of his Buick LaCrosse, which he leases for $317 per month. And how about this one: Congressman Gregory Meeks was recently seen waiting for Congressman John Conyers to step out of Meeks’ Lexus LS460, which Meeks leases for $998 per month.
All those leases are picked up by taxpayers through a little-known program available only to members of the House of Representatives.
Full Story Here
___________________________________________________
So Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel thinks his constituents “appreciate” his wasting our money on a luxury gas guzzler on our dime? What constituents was he talking to when he figured that out? The guy who sold him the Cadillac we paid for, or the owner of Gas station he goes to?
I mean give me a break. You can call these other people Hypocrites if you want & that may be true, but at least they are Hypocrites with THEIR OWN MONEY!
The there’s “do as I say, not as I do” Eco-Hypocrisy of Barack Hussein Obama & his big ol’ Chrysler 300, which he quickly dumped for a token hybrid once he got caught by the media with it.
Why are not more people enraged by this disgusting & atrocious Government abuse, while the tax payers are footing the bill?
It’s really crazy, all of it. I’m struggling to keep my 6 cylinder SUV on the road, while Charlie Rangel & his party tells me not to drive one because they’re “bad for the environment.”
It’s not really that surprising to me unfortunately, but in the video below there’s about an 8-10 year old boy who threatens to put a bullet in George Bush’s head, calls him a Mother F’er, a Bastard, & goes on to endorse Barack Hussein Obama.. Warning: This contains VERY strong language, & it’s a pretty traumatic video, since one of many sick & abominable Democrats has decided to permanently damage their child by filling them with hate during the years where their brain is actually making “synapses” or permanent connections.
The child you see in the video below will have an uphill battle to become a normal child again. Right now the child is being led down a path to permanent insanity, through a systematic indoctrination into homicidal thought against anyone his guardian disagrees with. This is the new “Liberal”. May God have mercy on their souls. To teach a child what you’re about to see on this video, & without remorse or repentance, guarantees you a front row seat in Hell. This parent/guardian should be pursued, & put in jail for child abuse, plain & simple.
Barack said then:
Years of abandonment by successive Clinton and Bush administrations have made the people of small town Pennsylvania so “bitter” they “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them”.
Barack says now:
“I am amused about this notion of elitist, given that when you’re raised by a single mom, when you’re on food stamps for a while when you were growing up, you went to school on scholarship….”
“So when somebody makes that argument, particularly given that I spent my entire life working with workers, low-income communities to try to make people’s lives a little bit better, then that’s when you know we’re in political silly season.”
Dan Lee says:
So you’re “amused” that people are dumb enough to think your an elitist huh? Wouldn’t that be the kind of reaction an elitist might have? Amusement at the percieved stupiditiy of others that might believe you’re an elitist? Have you considered that maybe they are right based on your reaction?
Here’s your free clue Mr. Obama:
When they called you an “elitist” they weren’t talking about back when you were a schoolboy, they are talking about what you have become.. In other words, what you are RIGHT NOW.”
P.S. I will personally admit that I am an “elitist” of sorts, because I believe that Conservatives are far superior in almost every way to Liberals. That is unless you’re looking for a politician who can increase the Government’s tax revenue, & the people’s tax burden. In that case they have us beat with one hand tied behind their backs. I do however believe that our elite status is subject & subservient to almighty God, who is the King of the elite, & the King of Kings.
But them I’m probably clinging to “religion” too much in Obama’s opinion.. Egads!!! We’re sorry King Barack Hussein Obama!! Not…
“I’m staying in the race because I still want to be president. And until somebody gets 1191 delegates, we don’t have a nominee” Huckabee told Fox News.
There’s no ‘I’ in Team Mr. Huckabee.. Didn’t you ever play anything besides the Bass? Like sports maybe? Never mind..
“I don’t think that Romney’s going to succeed in getting to the right of me.”
Dan Lee says:
Mr. McCain, the earth is round… You only think Romney’s to left of you, but if you face away from him & run really fast & really hard, you’ll see how far to the right of you he already is.
Seriously, I think he’s starting to succumb to dementia, & I’m starting to see two distinct personalities emerge from him on a regular basis these days.. Don’t vote for him people, you’ll regret it. This election is starting to look like an episode of “Lost.” Full McCain Conservative media hate story here.
Well, have we got here? It seems our country has reached an even deeper low than I ever thought possible, with even our own party delegates abandoning conservative voters & silencing their voices before the first vote is even cast.
There will of course be an unprecedented backlash, like no one has ever seen against the Republican party, with the complete destruction of the Party being almost imminent in part due to the rogue actions of uncommitted delegates in Louisiana.
True Conservatives know that John McCain is not one of us, & that he has been bought & paid for by the left in this country. Yet these “uncommitted delegates” care not about principle, but rather being on what they are guessing will be the winning team, complete with a locker room party, & a future of lucrative endorsements & political favors.
As a result, I propose that if these rogue delegates around the country insist on handing us a pseudo Conservative to vote for, than we should write in the names of real Conservatives. I have already decided that should McCain get the nomination, I will write in Conservative columnist & writer Michelle Malkin as my choice in the general election. In the words of the great Ronald Reagan, I want to remind the Republican Party that I didn’t leave you, YOU left me, & every other real Conservative. After the last few years of not being able to recognize you apart from the Democrats, I hereby official disown you, & your chameleon delegates. It’s time for a new party. I leave you with this:
Don’t you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you’d want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don’t bother, they’re here.
Bob Tuke, a former state Democratic Party chairman for Tennessee who is backing Obama, concedes the advantage is probably Clinton’s, since some voters are “reticent about backing a black.”
For anyone unfamiliar with it, “Reticent” is a rather obscure word replacement for “reluctant” by the way.. I looked it up myself just to make sure I really read what I thought I did.
You know, I really just can’t understand why statistically most African American citizens keep following this party like obedient little sheep, when they are proving over & over that they only care about blacks who don’t want to be in leadership.
The attitude is apparently like; “You just leave all the power & control to us, & we’ll take care of all your needs.”
Well I don’t know about you, but I think that’s called discrimination. “Reticent about backing a black.” Wow.. I mean if I hadn’t known this about Democratic leadership & lots of white democrats all along, I’d probably be flabbergasted.
My message to my fellow African Americans is this; You are smart, you are valued, & you are considered by me to be my equal brothers & sisters in humanity. Please stop letting prejudice leaders dump all over your heritage by showing them that YOU DO stand behind Barack Obama, because it’s time for them to learn that you’re as much a part of the decision making in this country as anyone else.
Something is very wrong with a party that continues to get away with double speaking to black voters, & promising to represent them, AS LONG AS THEY DON’T TRY TO SEND ONE OF THEIR OWN UP THE SUCCESS LADDER TO LEADERSHIP.
You have a voice in this election. Back Obama, & send a message to the old guard, whom Hillary Clinton represents. I’m not going to vote for Obama, because we see things differently on Policy issues. It is not however because I’m “reticent about backing a black.” I think that is very telling of the Democratic party of today, & the right thing for African Americans to do, is to send a message to the good ol’ boys of the Democratic party. A loud message that says; “We will not take a back seat to others due to the growing prejudicial treatment of men & women who just happen to be African American Democrats. Show this party that it’s your party too, & they can cry if they want too, but you’re backing Barack on principle.
Perhaps Hillary Clinton’s campaign is sensing the angst from black voters who’s wrath is rightfully beginning to converge over her candidacy? That might explain her latest bout with Crocodile Tears.
Romney told ABC’s “This Week” that McCain “doesn’t understand the economy” and that his advocacy of a higher gasoline tax to combat global warming would hurt U.S. consumers.
Romney added, “If we want a party that is indistinguishable from Hillary Clinton on an issue like illegal immigration, we’re going to have John McCain as a nominee. That’s the wrong way to go.”
Well that pretty much sums it up in a few sentences now doesn’t it? This country cannot afford a McCain Presidency, on so many levels.
Let us start with his record on immigration. Can we afford to trust that he won’t give the store away with such a horrible record:
Do everything I can to help all immigrants learn English. (Dec 2007)
Illegal immigrants are God’s children as well. (Nov 2007) 12 million illegals in country now is de facto amnesty. (Sep 2007)

McCain has an abyssmal record on taxing US citizens into the ground. Bipartisanship with Democrats should come pretty easy for a President with his ideals. So why would any Conservative or even an Independent ever vote for him? From his record on taxes below, McCain seens to be at best, erratic. Notice the “We need a simpler Fairer tax code comment, instead of just a “Fair” one. What’s wrong with having a just plain Fair tax codeJohn?

I mean I could write a lot about this, but I think it’s more effective for you to watch the video below featuring John McCain’s Spanish Outreach Director, Open Borders Juan Hernandez. If McCain gets in, they’ll have us exchanging Mexican money at every business in the US, & you can bet that if you want english, you’ll have to press 2 some day soon.
Some of John McCain’s good buddies.
Russ Feingold.
Teddy Kennedy.
Lindsay Grahamnesty.
Juan “Mexico First/Free Flow” Hernandez. (Who was pretty silent when THIS murder happened)
Jerry “Spanish first” Perenchio. Geraldo Rivera.
La Raza.

Some other Endorsements that should make any Republican or Conservative run as fast as they can away from McCain.
Los Angeles Times
The Chicago Tribune and Philadelphia Inquirer made their endorsements for:
Tribune: McCain and Obama.
Inquirer: McCain and Obama.
I either vote Romney this point, or as I promised, I write in Michelle Malkin; eligible or not.. ~ Dan Lee I leave with the idiocy & inverted logic of Juan Hernandez:
Well, it’s pretty sure that on top of creating an artificial controlled recession just in time for the elections, the retards in Washington are actually set to blow a few bazillion dollars of money we don’t really have, to “stimulate” their political image. On top of the ridiculousness of the whole “stimulus package” charade, they are actually argued over language that could have easily resulted in giving rebates to illegal aliens, (as if it was debatable) & then proceeded to cut out high income earners from getting a rebate altogether. Way to go Washington! They managed to close that loop hole, but no word on what to do about the gobs of illegals who have false identities & social security numbers, so they’ll still get a check. So lets recap; In effect, we penalize the law abiding people who pay the most taxes, but be sure that some illegal aliens can send our money out of the country where it’s worth more over the border! (at least for now)
Perhaps some of these Washington idiots are addicted to Viagra, & therefore can’t get “Stimulus” out of their heads?
Today I heard that some retailers are actually finding that people are putting off buying things, because they’re waiting for that big check to come in April or May.. Wow, that immediate stimulus really worked great huh? It’s causing people to HOLD OFF ON SPENDING, instead of spending now to head off this (albeit phantom) recession..
This is just really out of hand, & I’m thinking we need to punish the Republican party for going along with it, by not voting for any of their pseudo conservative candidates. I’m doing a write in vote for Michelle Malkin in the General Election if McCain wins the nomination. I’ve had it..
The Senate Finance Committee approved a stimulus bill that would give $500 to tax filers who earned less than $150,000 in 2007, or $1,000 to married, joint tax filers with a combined income less than $300,000. Each child under 17 would be worth another $300.
The committee vote Wednesday was 14-5 — with just three committee Republicans joining all the Democrats on the panel.
The new cap is higher than the House-passed version, which places a $600 limit on singles making $75,000, or $1,200 for joint-filing married couples who make $150,000. With assorted other elements, it raises the package to a cost of $193 billion.
Baucus, under tremendous pressure from his Democratic colleagues to cut America’s richest taxpayers out of the rebates, made the changes, and Grassley spoke favorably about the caps being inserted despite his preference for no caps.
But that’s not the only point of contention. An extension to unemployment benefits is shaping up to be the central fight when this bill makes it to the Senate floor.
The Finance Committee bill extends unemployment payments for 13 weeks to those whose benefits have run out, with 26 more weeks available in states with a 6.5 percent unemployment rate.
