I normally don't pass along paid advertising, but there's some good thoughts / info in here so I'm bending my own rules. I have taken out all but one plea for monetary assistance at the very end. If you're inclined to help, that's great -- it sounds like a great cause. I just didn't like the idea of sharing something that asked you for money, good info or not.<br /><br />Dear Reader:<br /><br />Last week Bill O'Reilly on Fox News exposed the fact that the New York Times killed a story about the relationship between ACORN and the Obama campaign conspired in the 2008 election. Other media outlets refuse to disclose how ACORN uses vote fraud to steal elections.<br />When a paper like the New York Times hides the truth, we live in worrisome times.<br />At stake is nothing more than our democratic freedoms and way of life.<br /><br />As you may know, we at the Republican National Lawyers Association have been fighting for a fair election in Minnesota.<br /><br />On election night, Republican Norm Coleman led by 725 votes. But after a "recount" and questionable activities by the state's liberal Secretary of State, Franken now leads.<br />We have been fighting and so far Al Franken has yet to be seated.<br /><br />Franken's Outrage<br /><br />But we were shocked last week when the three judge panel in Minnesota decided that it is okay to treat voters in different parts of Minnesota differently, instead of treating all voters equally. The judges have basically said that the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution does not apply in Minnesota.<br /><br />And in New York, lawyers are already battling over absentee and military ballots in the special election to fill a vacant seat for Congress. RNLA Members are there right now, helping ensure the vote counting is as fair as possible.<br /><br />The results show a dead heat, and absentee ballots are crucial. These ballots usually favor the Republicans but at the urging of the Democrat Candidate’s lawyer the counting of absentee ballots is going ahead before the deadline for receipt of absentee ballots from our military and overseas voters even occurs!<br /><br />Once again, Democrats are trying to disenfranchise military voters because soldiers are perceived to favor Republicans.<br /><br />This is why our work at the Republican National Lawyers Association is so critical.<br /><br />Your help is also critical — please support our efforts.<br /><br />We are the leading group in the Republican Party fighting to ensure that elections are honest and that voters, not lawyers or judges, decide the elections.<br /><br />Already, we helped stop Harry Reid from seating Al Franken in the Senate as a Senator before the Minnesota Election Process is completed.<br /><br />We fought for military voters and as a result of the ongoing pressure of groups like the RNLA, the New York Board of Elections initially extended the deadline for the return of military ballots so that the ballots have a chance to get back from places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Republicans will keep fighting until those votes are counted.<br /><br />But these are just battles in a longer struggle.<br /><br />ACORN's Dirty Tricks<br /><br />Years ago the left realized if they can't win at the ballot box, they could work the process. George Soros backed liberals in various states who became Secretary of State — the chief state officer who usually controls the election process.<br /><br />The Democrats in Congress worked hard to give liberal groups like ACORN billions — to "register" voters. There have been widespread charges, prosecutions, convictions and allegations of fraud against groups like ACORN.<br /><br />We need to do what the left has done. We need to organize and prepare. The 2010 elections are fast approaching. We need to train lawyers who will protect your right to vote and have it count!<br />We also need to expose groups like ACORN — in both the courts and the media.<br /><br />You can help us do that! <br /><br />U.S. House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers [D-MI] was so alarmed by the Testimony of RNLA's First Vice President Heather Heidelbaugh about ACORN's activities that he called for a hearing on ACORN.<br /><br />But other Democrats, led by Subcommittee Chair Jerrold Nadler [D-NY] objected saying there was "no credible evidence" against ACORN.<br /><br />Even though Mel Watt [D-NC] stated in the same hearing: "I would even stipulate if I were in court that voter fraud does in fact take place. I might even stipulate that ACORN or some of its employees have participated in voter fraud."<br /><br />But we have more evidence that will force the truth about ACORN out.<br /><br />As revealed on O’Reilly, New York Times Reporter Stephanie Strom stated in a phone call to an ACORN informant: "I've been asked by my bosses to stand down" and stop reporting on ACORN. This reporter also detailed how the Obama campaign refused to talk about how they gave their donor list to ACORN. The reporter states: "the campaign insisted on speaking only on background. When I asked why, I got the barrage I described earlier. Cleary, I have hit a nerve."<br /><br />But the liberal New York Times killed the story.<br /><br />We Need to Prepare Now for the Next Election<br /><br />We are not afraid to expose this fraud.<br /><br />The RNLA is working hard to get the truth out.<br /><br />Congressional Hearings, the press and legal proceedings to stop ACORN.<br /><br />Whatever it takes, we will fight groups like ACORN.<br /><br />Your help to us critical in our fight, please donate today.<br /><br />But we must start early and now. Our urgent effort needs your help.<br /><br />We believe our country's future depends on fair elections — not a sham process one finds in banana republics.<br /><br />Help us stop the shady political operatives, left wing lawyers, ACORN, and liberal judges.<br /><br />With your help we can do it.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Michael Thielen<br />Executive Director RNLA<br /><br />P.S. Congress earmarked billions in Obama's stimulus for ACORN. This is why we need your help, and why we need to keep fighting to stop election fraud. Whatever happens in Minnesota or New York, we know many future battles lie ahead. We need to prepare today for tomorrow.

He came up with the most ridiculous excuse I've ever heard to justify bending to Pelosi-Reid's Omnibus spending debacle.<br />He promised no earmarks yet his "reform" allows for some earmarks (those HE likes? those Pelosi uses for leverage?).<br />He gave money to Hamas to rebuild dissing Israel (where's there money for rebuilding after Hamas trashed their country Mr. Obama?).<br /><br />Those are just a few that immediately popped into my mind. I could go on and on and on.<br /><br />Here's the latest via The Hill. Yes, it's small, but you'd think someone would do a fact check for the guy. AND, you'd think the almighty press would be having a bit of fun with this as they did when President Bush was in office. (I hear the guffaws, control yourself, get off the floor, stop laughing I tell you, stop!)<br /><br /><strong>Obama Gets Kennedy History Wrong — Ask Sammy Davis<br /></strong>Doug Heye<br /><br />"President Kennedy didn't have the luxury of choosing between civil rights and sending us to the moon," President Obama lectured us during his education speech yesterday.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the president has his history wrong. It was LBJ, not JFK, who signed the Voting Rights Act.<br /><br />JFK's civil rights legacy is better defined by two incidents involving Sammy Davis Jr., who campaigned for Kennedy in 1960: Kennedy's disinviting Davis to the Inauguration and, as noted in Wil Haygood's In Black and White, telling an aide at a White House reception with prominent black leaders, "What's he doing here? Get them out of here!" while having Davis and his wife escorted out. You see, Davis was married at the time to actress May Britt, a white woman, and Kennedy didn't want to risk alienating Southern Democrats by being photographed with an interracial couple.<br /><br />"Sammy Davis wrote a book called Yes, I Can. I sent him a wire and said, 'No, you can't,' " Frank Sinatra would joke on stage, but JFK's shabby treatment of Davis was no joke — and no profile in courage for civil rights.<br /><br />Given Obama's appropriation of Sammy's book title (and his song), one would think he knows that.<br /><br /><a href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102501000312&e=001dD-aJhFbz47OwOVL4vjcMI5KvVcdK4RmrafDmW4Hm_H10Eo8jRLLN_qHoJLcAt56xBEPuoI-fxzq7PH_JRMiFdiZoJJT2yVhsLARz3JbyJc5cKAm2kR1knoZGHnCEAOt0_rHf50CvInonIF0zs6TnLiNmTZ1IRZ1WgUxksAV52dvCEaxthcwGNKNSMyoZvBIxj2_-utyRP5MkSv6yYLeYPBk0nb_P1Zfl6JqpczlqZc=" target="_blank" shape="rect">COMMENT ON THIS POST</a> (The link is for commenting on The Hill, not here)Palin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-55952746667109847972009-03-10T16:42:00.001-04:002009-03-10T16:43:15.854-04:00Phyllis Schlafly: E-Verify Is a "Shovel-Ready" Solution<a href="http://www.townhallmail.com/sdnlccod_avkererur.html" target="_blank">Phyllis Schlafly: E-Verify Is a "Shovel-Ready" Solution</a><br />Contrary to the liberals' no-can-do approach toward our wide-open borders, at least three "shovel-ready" solutions are readily available to close dangerous gaps in our border security.Palin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-18300952892758795752009-02-28T07:42:00.001-05:002009-02-28T07:43:57.704-05:00If you're not fighting, YOU are part of the problem<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dA9L3rls2C8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dA9L3rls2C8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Palin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-5504892095872912642009-02-18T14:07:00.003-05:002009-02-18T14:11:28.738-05:00Obama’s Stimulus Will Cause 'Lower Wages' for American Workers, Says Congressional Budget Office(CNSNews.com) – The huge economic stimulus package that President Obama signed into law Tuesday will result in “lower wages” for American workers, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=43704">http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=43704</a><br /><br />I haven't heard one good thing that's going to come out of the so-called stimulus package.

Bush reinstated a policy in 2001 that restricted foreign countries using American dollars for abortions. CBS political consultant Craig Crawford called the action “red meat to the Bible Belt conservatives.”<br /><br />Just three days after taking office, President Barack Obama rescinded the Mexico City Policy, a policy set into place by Ronald Reagan that prohibited American funding for foreign abortions. Have the media called it red meat for liberals? No. They’ve mostly been silent.<br /><br />Signing on the Sneak<br /><br />Obama signed the executive order late on Jan. 23, the day after the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. It was also Friday, a moment that TIME magazine’s Amy Sullivan<a style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1873794,00.html" target="_blank"> called</a>, “a time traditionally reserved for the release of information an administration would like to bury.” During the Clinton administration, Friday afternoon was the time for “document dumps,” when the scandal-ridden White House released embarrassing pieces of its paper trail.<br /><br />Even Hollywood recognizes the timing for what it is – a calculated strategy to avoid tough press. Characters in the liberal political drama “The West Wing” refer to such days as “take out the trash day.” “The West Wing,” by the way, is a show whose ultimate fantasy -- a young, Democratic congressman from nowhere becoming president --fulfilled in Obama’s election.<br /><br />Sullivan reported that Obama “wants to turn down the heat on an issue that has defined and divided American politics for more than three decades” and based on the media coverage of his decision, it seems to have worked.<br /><br />CBS and NBC barely mentioned the change in policy during the Jan. 23, 2009 Evening News and Nightly News broadcasts. On the Saturday “Early Show,” CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier noted during a wrap-up of the president’s first few days in office that “Mr. Obama also quietly stepped into the abortion debate” with his executive order that overturned the ban on funding for foreign abortions.<br /><br />Only ABC acknowledged the controversial nature of Obama’s decision, two days after the fact during World News Sunday. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi noted that the president hoped “not to provoke anti-abortion groups” with the order, and that “it didn’t work.” Alfonsi also featured Tony Perkins, president of the pro-life Family Research Council, who said that Obama “does not have consensus and support from, from the majority of Americans” on social issues.<br /><br />No networks reported the fact that in a 55-page “<a style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.frcblog.com/2009/01/what_exactly_is_the_mexico_cit.html" target="_blank">wish list</a>” sent to the Obama-Biden transition team by abortion rights groups, reinstating American funding for foreign abortions topped the list with regard to international matters.<br /><br />Bush “Pleased” the Right<br /><br />What a difference from eight years ago. Then, Crawford wasn’t the only person accusing Bush of playing politics.<br /><br />Dan Rather, “CBS Evening News” anchor, introduced a Jan. 22, 2001 report on Bush’s reinstatement of the policy by calling it “something to quickly please the right flank in his party.” John Roberts, chief White House correspondent at CBS, noted “the president waded into controversy on this first day” and “in a nod to anti-abortion groups…announced he’ll cut federal funding to organizations that provide family planning and abortion counseling overseas.”<br /><br />Roberts’ report also featured criticism by Gloria Feldt, then-president of Planned Parenthood, “The fundamental human and civil right to make our own child-bearing choices is at greater threat than it has been anytime in the 28 years since Roe vs. Wade was decided.” Feldt’s comment re-aired during CBS’ Jan. 23, 2001” The Early Show.” CBS failed to provide a pro-life counterpoint to Feldt.<br /><br />ABC White House correspondent Terry Moran said Bush’s decision was “designed to appeal to anti-abortion conservatives” on the Jan. 22, 2001 “World News Tonight.”<br /><br />Newsweek’s Howard Fineman told NBC’s Matt Lauer during the Jan. 23, 2001 “Today” that with the executive order stopping the flow of American money to foreign abortion providers, “George W. Bush following a plan. Secure the base. The Christian right is fundamental to the Republican Party and to his presidency.”<br /><br />Later in the same broadcast, anchor Ann Curry ignored the pro-life support Bush enjoyed as a result of his executive order. She reported, “Abortion rights supporters are condemning the president’s order Monday, restoring a Reagan-era ban on U.S. funding of overseas family planning groups that advocate abortion.”<br /><br />Explain and Inform<br /><br />One thing remained constant in the network coverage from then until Obama’s overturning of the Mexico City Policy: no explanation of the policy aside from as ABC’s Chris Cuomo noted on the Jan. 23, 2009 Good Morning America, “the policy was put in place by Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton overturned, but it was reinstituted by George W. Bush.”<br /><br />But the same day, Family Research Council’s Tom McClusky succinctly <a style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://www.frcblog.com/2009/01/what_exactly_is_the_mexico_cit.html" target="_blank">explained</a> the policy and what it means now that Obama has rescinded it:<br /><br />In as little words as possible, the Mexico City policy halts U.S. family planning funds from going to foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that perform abortions or "actively promote" abortion as a method of family planning in other countries… The effect of President Obama rescinding the Mexico City Policy is that now millions ($461 million in the <a style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; text-underline: single" href="http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ161.110.pdf" target="_blank">Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008</a>) of dollars are taken away from family planning groups that do not promote abortion, and delivered into the hands of organizations that are the most militant in promoting abortion as a population-control method - especially in countries that find abortion objectionable on moral grounds.<br /><br />ABC may not have covered the story immediately or explained the policy, but the network did recognize that allowing organizations to spend American dollars on abortion is not accepted by all. CBS and NBC failed the American public by not explaining what the policy does and also by not holding Obama to the same scrutiny they held Bush to back in 2001.<br /><br />Related stories:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1873794,00.html" target="_blank">Shhh.

You have to take into consideration that the one calling me (or anyone using the term lib) trash has a rather trashy mouth and obviously a whole lotta hate swirling around inside their gut.<br /><br />I sure wish people could get past the hate. I don't hate my lib friends, who by the way, have no problem with the title. We cut up and have a good time. They wouldn't support Sarah Palin any more than I'd support Barack Obama, but we can have intelligent conversations without rancor.<br /><br />Ah well, people's words tell a lot about their character.<br /><br />I do think it's sad that the fringes cause so much turmoil. There are fringe elements on both side of the aisle. It doesn't take much to set them off. Fortunately, the majority of us can agree to disagree and still be willing to sit in the same room without spitting at each other. Unfortunately, the fringe element catches attention and oft times manages to intimidate the middle.<br /><br />One thing I've noticed about the Sarah Palin haters is they don't seem to know much about her. They simply repeat talking points that have no basis in fact or reality.<br /><br />I have to run, going to meet some of my lib... left... progressive... whatever you want to call 'em, along with some independent and conservative, friends to work on a charity project... together... in harmony...

I'm still supporting Sarah 5000%. I'm reading and watching the news and can't believe they're still attacking her! Give it up already. It's hard to change a liberal's mind once they've been brainwashed. Facts just don't get in the way once their leaders have spread the word.<br /><br />Remember that movie "The Time Machine"? Like lemmings the libs play until the siren sounds, then they trek to their destruction. It is SO frustrating at times when I see the obvious twisting of information and hear the bots mouthing the mantra without ever being able to back up things up with facts.<br /><br />When I ask "how do you know this or that" the answer is something along the lines of "everyone knows it's true". Everyone doesn't include yours truly!<br /><br />I'm back and I'm blogging to support Sarah. Hope you all have the best new year you can with you-know-who at the helm trying to ruin our democracy.Palin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-38765062766271762212008-12-16T18:12:00.004-05:002008-12-16T18:23:49.189-05:00President Bush, the free market, and the mediaI've been fairly supportive of President Bush. I have disagreed strongly with some of his stances, such as the one on immigration, but overall I've thought he got a bad rap when it came to the way the media treated him. I give him credit for many things, primarily keeping us safe which I believe is the President's number one priority.<br /><br />The way he and his cohorts have handled the economy is one where he and I part ways. In an interview with CNN he admitted he had abandoned free market principles to keep the economy from completely tanking (my paraphrase). I believe our country was founded on free market principles and that under no circumstances should we abandon those values. We have embarked on a slippery slope towards socialism and I believe Obama is standing at the bottom of the slope with his arms wide open.<br /><br />We are headed for a different kind of trouble and we will look back on 2008 as the year our way of life collapsed.<br /><br />In reading the article below (thanks Drudge Report and Michelle Malkin, Michelle being first to mention this one!), I noted that when they quoted President Bush they quoted him completely, including the gaps, the lapses that permeate his speech. I bring it up simply to contrast the way he is portrayed versus the way the press quotes uh, uh, Obama, uh. They don't include his hesitations, his skipping of words or his flaws. With President Bush they seem to highlight the flaws. Maybe I'm being over sensitive on this one, but I would be we won't be hearing skits on Saturday Night Live dissing' Obama.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/image.php?id=iafp081216215816.8g97981op0&show_article=1&article_id=081216215816.8g97981o">US President George W.

This makes two corrupt governors in a row to be arrested for felonies committed in office -- and it solidifies Chicago, Ill. as the most corrupt city in America, narrowly edging out New Orleans. Also arrested was corrupt Chicago politician and Blagojevich Chief of Staff John Harris. The two are accused of attempting to "auction off" Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat to the highest bidder from the corrupt Chicago political scene. An unknown number of other corrupt Chicago politicians and staffers are also under investigation.<br /><br />Wow! It's a good thing America didn't just elect a longtime Chicago politician to be the next President of the United States.<br /><br />Oh...wait, that's just what we did. That's why Obama's Senate seat was vacant and available to be auctioned off to some lucky cash-and-carry Democrat contender. Oh well, I'm sure that The Sacred Dalai Obama is not connected to this scandal or Blagojevich in any other way. Very reassuring was Obama's claim Tuesday that "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not, aware of what was happening."<br /><br />The only problem is that one of Obama's senior advisors, David Axelrod (a former advisor to Blagojevic) went on Chicago TV on November 23 and said definitively regarding Obama's communications with Blagojevich on whom might acquire Obama's Senate seat: "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them..."<br /><br />Read entire article <a href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001qKa60vjEJjHppJxrWin3jv9-XB5iD3v-lhmZUp-FDesuQLG4MdKZV3amLNvddvThsOwQJbUplDXe7oo8eo87oTsfVkIFsF5pN5m0P919dmwuWsfVtSzhcLcHR5AHTUAvjZBkH6oGOduFNvqiqAYhjzZSAS2i26lohHhLhCCDrlo=" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />Source: Mac Johnson at <a href="http://www.macjohnson.com/" target="_blank">www.macjohnson.com</a>.<br /><br />Rec'd via National Federation of Republican WomenPalin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-60589364670860671872008-12-12T20:43:00.004-05:002008-12-12T20:47:18.693-05:00Heritage Foundation: Obama to Tax Everything, Send Money to Kuwait MillionairesSigned up for Heritage Foundation's updates after seeing on a few other Read My Lipstick Network blogs and now I'm addicted. I've also signed up for P.U.M.A.'s updates. Now I have to figure out Twitter and Facebook and I'll be set.<br /><br />Here's today's Heritage update:<br /><br />Barack Obama’s Undemocratic Plan to Tax Everything You Do and Send the Money to Millionaires in Kuwait<br /><br />Despite the 5,800 miles between them, events yesterday in Poznan, Poland, and Sacramento, Calif., shed a frightening light on the direction President-elect Barack Obama's administration wants to take our country on energy policy. First in Poznan, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) promised delegates at an international climate conference that "<a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/r" target="_blank">Congress and the president-elect are committed to movement on mandatory goals as rapidly as possible</a>." According to <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/y" target="_blank">Obama's transition website</a> , the preferred enforcement mechanism for these mandatory goals would be a cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emissions, <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/j" target="_blank">which any honest economist will tell you is really just an energy tax dressed up in drag</a>. Meanwhile, in Sacramento, the unelected California Air Resources Board approved "<a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/t" target="_blank">the nation's most sweeping plan to reduce global warming by curbing emissions</a>." Like Obama's plan, California's plan features "<a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/i" target="_blank">an elaborate cap-and-trade program</a>" at its core.<br /><br />What makes California's cap-and-trade plan so scary is that <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/b" target="_blank">voters never had, and never will have, an opportunity to debate and vote on its implementation</a>. The plan is being implemented entirely through the administrative process. None of the members of California board have ever had to, or ever will, face the voters. They are appointed by the governor.<br /><br />Could a similar thing happen on the federal level? Yes. Obama has already signaled he will pursue that route. Earlier this month he appointed two co-chairmen to his EPA transition team who are leading advocates of <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/n" target="_blank">using authority from the Clean Air Act to implement a national cap-and-trade system through the EPA without congressional approval</a>. In fact, the EPA has already begun the rule-making process. The plan would <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/p" target="_blank">invasively regulate every sector of the American economy</a>, <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/x" target="_blank">ultimately cost 2.9 million manufacturing jobs and reduce aggregate gross domestic product by $6.9 trillion by 2029</a>. The EPA does not take a position on whether the allowances of the cap-and-trade plan will be given away or auctioned off. But with liberals in charge, it is almost guaranteed cap and trade will be treated as government cash cow.<br /><br />What will Washington do with all the revenue from this new massive energy tax? For that answer, we must travel back to Poznan where the delegates from the world's developing nations continue to refuse to make any firm commitments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions unless developed countries, the United States chief among them, pony up the cash to ease the economic hardship all carbon emission reduction entails. Mexico<a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/m" target="_blank"> made headlines</a> with its promise to reduce emissions by 50% by 2020. But reading deeper we learn from the <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/c" target="_blank">Washington Post</a> (emphasis added):<br /><br />Fernando Tudela, Mexico's vice minister of environment and natural resources, emphasized the need for financial help from richer nations. At a news conference Thursday, he said that Mexico will set "aspirational goals" but that the extent to which they would be met "will depend on the kind of support we can find in the international regime."<br /><br />In other words: Mexico isn't cutting anything until the United States cuts a check. And that is where the carbon tax funds come in. <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/q" target="_blank">Energy and Environment Daily reports</a> that assuming any U.S. cap-and-trade regime auctions off its credits, it "could generate billions of dollars in new revenue that could be shared with developing countries as incentives for making their own commitments." And just who are these developing countries where hard-working Americans will be sending their money? Thanks to antiquated definitions still used by the United Nations, <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/a" target="_blank">wealthy nations like Singapore, Kuwait, and Qatar are all not only exempt from the more stringent carbon caps that "rich" nations face, but are also eligible for any funds "poor" countries would receive from any international treaty on climate change</a>.<br /><br />As our economy struggles to recover, our leaders should be working to <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/f" target="_blank">lower our energy costs and develop our own natural resources</a>, not enacting complex regulatory schemes that will crush our economy and send our hard-earned money overseas.<br /><br />QUICK HITS<br /><br />The <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/z" target="_blank">UAW's refusal to make concessions</a> led to the defeat of the automaker bailout in the Senate last night.<br /><br />New Orleans awoke to a rare sight yesterday: <a href="http://theheritagefoundation.cmail3.com/t/y/l/driykr/tikjcthl/v" target="_blank">an early winter snow</a>.<br /><br />Sen.

Obama's Citizenship<br /><br />Team Obama: "All I can Tell you is that it is just pure garbage." <br /><br />According to the WorldNetDaily headline above, that was the retort of an Obama campaign spokesperson when asked about complaints requesting that Senator Obama produce a valid Birth Certificate to prove that he is constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States.<br /><br />Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States, states, "No person except a natural born citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President."<br /><br />The Constitution of the United States is NOT "garbage" and furthermore, securing the rights of the people under the Constitution is NOT "garbage"!<br /><br />The Obama campaign's response is an elitist, condescending slap in the face to patriotic Americans. No one is above the law and Team Obama cannot make the question of Obama's eligibility go away by disrespecting the American people - and, by inference, the Constitution of the United States.<br /><br />Read more <a href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001L8aKT9hQv-Uj5KLLH74YOdtVyi38L-vUaZrLXXLHpPe1NBndWopB39fG07X3j3Vh0mjH6Q6SkbtyGfm2IybFQek2qnXrqjVw3BjVJFe82XfVV0fP9qA_8urem_1UGlWYoORDnPAKwTRSLk5b9ltFLblBOrbxgk4nHvUNuV-HZoGRaoJpQy_W8yjIXaKNrQKIwkG8IBYKIfs=" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />Source: <a href="http://www.usjf.net/index.php">http://www.usjf.net/index.php</a>Palin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-10885117386871458822008-11-02T13:53:00.003-05:002008-11-02T14:00:44.506-05:00Obama signs on to trickle down theory and promises SKYROCKETING power bills!!!Saw video and comments earlier on our Read My Lipstick Network's Team Sarah page on how Barack Obama is promising to bankrupt coal industry with his policies. Now here's another one Janet found and posted:<br /><br /><object height="419" width="518"><param name="movie" value="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/eyeblast.swf?v=e46U2Gnzpr"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/eyeblast.swf?v=e46U2Gnzpr" allowfullscreen="true" width="518" height="419"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />You'll note that in one paragraph he signs onto the trickle down theory of economics... HE FORCES industry to make changes that cause them to raise their prices for the consumer. I bet there are some layoffs involved in his plan, too. Stands to reason that if he's going to bankrupt the coal industry <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">there'll</span> be a lot of people in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and other coals states standing their clinging to their guns and religion in the food lines.<br /><br />Transcript of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Obama's</span> comments with my bold emphasis in places:<br /><br />The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, “This is really important,” and <strong>force</strong> their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.<br /><br />You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — <strong>Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.</strong> Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, <strong>they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.</strong><br /><br />They — you — you can already see what the arguments will be during the general election. People will say, “Ah, Obama and Al Gore, these folks, <strong>they’re going to destroy the economy, this is going to cost us eight trillion dollars,” or whatever their number is</strong>. Um, if you can’t persuade the American people that yes, there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage, changing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">lightbulbs</span> and more efficient appliance, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy, the economy would benefit.<br /><br />If we can’t make that argument persuasively enough, you — you, uh, can be Lyndon Johnson, you can be the master of Washington. You’re not going to get that done."<br /><br />Hey folks, we're not going to live long enough to see decreased electric costs and we will be in a society we won't recognize if we do hang in there. Be Sane, Vote McCain. Use Your Brain, Vote McCain.<br /><br />Hat tip to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Hotair</span>.com, and to the Read My Lipstick Network for the video and info: http://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/02/obama-ill-make-energy-prices-skyrocket/Palin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-27633311156463539482008-11-02T06:14:00.003-05:002008-11-02T06:23:00.542-05:00About commentsI've been talking with Barracuda Babe and Dots for Dummies and a few other friend bloggers about their comments.<br /><br />Every single comment we get from Obama types includes something so nasty about John McCain or Sarah Palin that we can't publish their comments.<br /><br />I don't have a problem posting opposing views, that's what makes for a good discussion. Intelligent, respectful disagreement is perfectly fine. I'll get a really good thought from someone on the "other side" but it's surrounded by vicious personal attacks that I wouldn't say about my worst enemy, much less allow the comment. Most, but not all, come from individuals known only as "anonymous".<br /><br />What is it about Obama supporters that they have to be so ugly? Is that the mindset that wants to run our country? Is that the kind of people that are attracted to this man? I have never experienced such hate before. I know how my mother felt when she used to say she needed to wash someone's mouth out with soap.

Most early voting is over, although in some states they vote through the weekend. Now we have three days, just three short days, to get to those who are undecided. Strange as it sounds, there are some who still haven't made up their minds.<br /><br />I heard on the news yesterday from someone, they all start to run together, that the undecided aren't really undecided, they just don't want to say they're not voting for Obama.<br /><br />I know that is happening in some cases as I have two friends who have told me confidentially that they're voting for John McCain but they're black and they would never live it down if they admitted to their family and church body that they don't support Obama.<br /><br />In the privacy of the voting booth, not that there are real booths anymore, many will be pushing the McCain-Palin spot in secrecy.<br /><br />I'm excited as I hear all the good news coming from our friends across the US, and even some of the media hype seems to be getting a tad, a tiny tad, more honest and favorable.<br /><br />I got this from the McCain campaign and had to share:<br /><br />The State of the Campaign<br /><br />If your television is tuned to cable news as frequently as ours are here at campaign headquarters, you have seen the pundits say John McCain and his campaign are done. And, if you've followed this race since the beginning, this is clearly a song you've heard before. I wanted to take some time today to give you some insight on the state of the race as we see it.<br /><br />An AP poll released this morning revealed a very telling fact:<br /><br />ONE out of every SEVEN voters is undecided.<br /><br />That means, if 130 million voters turn out on Tuesday, 18.5 million of them have yet to make up their mind. With that many votes on the table and the tremendous movement we've seen in this race, I believe we are in a very competitive campaign. Here's why: All the major polls have shown a tightening in the race and a significant narrowing of the numbers. In John McCain's typical pattern, he is closing strong and surprising the pundits. We believe this race is winnable, and if the trajectory continues, we will surpass the 270 Electoral votes needed on Election Night.<br /><br />National Polls: Major polls last week showed John McCain trailing by double-digit margins - but by the middle of this week, we were within the margin of error on four national tracking surveys. In fact, the Gallup national tracking survey showed the race in a virtual tie 2 days this week.<br /><br />State Polls:<br /><br />Iowa - Our numbers in Iowa have seen a tremendous surge in the past 10 days. We took Obama's lead from the double digits to a very close race. That is why you see Barack Obama visiting the state in the final days, trying to stem his losses. It is too little, too late. Like many other Midwestern states, Iowa is moving swiftly into McCain's column.<br /><br />The Southwest - It is no secret that Republican candidates in the Southwest have to focus on winning over enough Latino and Hispanic voters in Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado to carry them to victory. John McCain has overcome challenges Republicans face, and has made up tremendous ground in these states with these voters. For these voters, the choice has become clear, and you have seen a big change in the numbers. John McCain is now winning enough voters to perform within the margin of error - putting these states within reach.<br /><br />Colorado - Barack Obama tried to outspend our campaign in Colorado during the early weeks of October and finish off our candidate in Colorado. However, after our visit early this week, we saw a tremendous rebound in our poll position, and Colorado is back on the map.<br /><br />Ohio and Pennsylvania - Everyone knows that vote rich Ohio and Pennsylvania will be key battlegrounds for this election. Between the two: 41 electoral votes and no candidate has gotten to the White House without Ohio. Senator McCain and Governor Palin have been campaigning non-stop in these key battleground states and tonight Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has pumped up our campaign at a rally in Columbus. Our position in these states is strong and undecided voters continue to have a very favorable impression of our candidate.<br /><br />Obama campaign faces tremendous structural challenges in the final days of this campaign<br /><br />Obama has a challenge hitting 50%: Barack Obama has not reached the 50% threshold in almost any the battleground state. He consistently is performing in the 45-48% range. When we look closely at the primary votes, we see a history of a candidate whose Election Day performance is often at or behind his final polling numbers. If this is true, our surge will leave Obama with even or under 50% of the vote on Election Day.<br /><br />Early Vote: The Obama campaign has promised that their early vote and absentee efforts will change the composition of the electorate. They have sold the press on a story that first time voters will turn out in droves this election cycle. Again, the facts undermine their argument. In our analysis of early voting and absentee votes to date: The composition of the electorate has not changed significantly and most folks who have voted early are high propensity voters who would have voted regardless of the high interest in this campaign.<br /><br />Expanding the Field: Obama is running out of states if you follow out a traditional model. Today, he expanded his buy into North Dakota, Georgia and Arizona in an attempt to widen the playing field and find his 270 Electoral Votes. This is a very tall order and trying to expand into new states in the final hours shows he doesn't have the votes to win.<br /><br />The Final Barnstorm<br /><br />On Monday, we will have a 14 state rally with our candidates crisscrossing the country trying to turn out our voters and sway the final undecided voters. Governor Palin will hit Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and Alaska in the final day of campaigning, while Senator McCain will travel from Tampa, Florida, to Virginia, then Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Mexico, Nevada and finish the night in Prescott, Arizona. T<br /><br />he enthusiasm and excitement we generate on Monday will be the electricity that powers our "Get Out the Vote" efforts on Tuesday.<br /><br />On the Ground<br /><br />Our field organization has tremendous energy and is out-performing the Bush campaign at the same time in 2004. This week our field organization crossed a huge threshold and began reaching more than one million voters per day, and by week's end will have contacted more than 5 million voters. Our phone centers are full and our rate of voter contact is significantly out-pacing the Bush campaign in 2004. We have the resources to do the voter contact necessary to support the surge we are seeing in our polling with old fashioned grassroots outreach.<br /><br />On the Airwaves<br /><br />In the final days of the campaign, our television presence will be bigger and broader than the Obama campaign's presence. The full Republican effort - the RNC's Independent Expenditure and the McCain campaign will out-buy Barack Obama and the Democrats by just about 10 million dollars.<br /><br />In short: the McCain campaign is surging in the final 72 hours. Our grassroots campaign is vibrant and communicating to voters in a very powerful way. Our television presence is strong. And, we have a secret ingredient - A candidate who will never quit and who will never stop fighting for you and for your families. In these final hours, Senator McCain and Governor Palin are counting on you - they are counting on you to <a href="http://link.johnmccain.com/?95-6736-342301-65895">knock on doors</a>, to <a href="http://link.johnmccain.com/?95-6736-342301-65896">make turnout calls</a>, to <a href="http://link.johnmccain.com/?95-6736-342301-65894">contact your friends and neighbors</a>. Get our voters to the polls and help John McCain fight for your and for our country. This is our last mission on behalf of John McCain and I have no doubt I can count on your effort and energy to carry us across the line to victory.Palin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-22985280038070712652008-10-31T13:39:00.002-04:002008-10-31T13:39:58.484-04:00Sarah Palin Schedule for Rallies - Pass to friends10/31/2008 6:30:00 AM - Latrobe, PA<br /><a title="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation/EventDetails.aspx?guid=" party="f93fd5ec-1bf6-48e9-8f60-ea8d3ed5694a&zip=" dist="10&ptype=" href="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation/EventDetails.aspx?guid=f93fd5ec-1bf6-48e9-8f60-ea8d3ed5694a&party=f93fd5ec-1bf6-48e9-8f60-ea8d3ed5694a&zip=63368&dist=10&ptype=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" target="_blank">Road to Victory Rally in Latrobe, PA</a><br />Please join Governor Sarah Palin for a Road to Victory Rally in Latrobe, PA on Friday October 31st.<br /><br />10/31/2008 8:00:00 AM - Hanoverton , OH<br /><a title="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation/EventDetails.aspx?guid=" party="d6aa5845-7d29-42fa-b32d-7a2ecef558db&zip=" dist="10&ptype=" href="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation/EventDetails.aspx?guid=d6aa5845-7d29-42fa-b32d-7a2ecef558db&party=d6aa5845-7d29-42fa-b32d-7a2ecef558db&zip=63368&dist=10&ptype=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" target="_blank">Road to Victory Rally in Hanoverton, OH</a><br />Please join Senator John McCain for a Road to Victory Rally in Hanoverton, OH on Friday October 31st.<br /><br />10/31/2008 12:00:00 PM - York , PA<br /><a title="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation/EventDetails.aspx?guid=" party="e576543c-117d-4f3c-9260-a311c6317654&zip=" dist="10&ptype=" href="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation/EventDetails.aspx?guid=e576543c-117d-4f3c-9260-a311c6317654&party=e576543c-117d-4f3c-9260-a311c6317654&zip=63368&dist=10&ptype=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" target="_blank">Road to Victory Rally in York, PA</a><br />Please join Governor Sarah Palin for a Road to Victory Rally in York, PA on Friday October 31st.<br /><br />10/31/2008 3:00:00 PM - Columbus, OH<br /><a title="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation/EventDetails.aspx?guid=" party="4fc8d1a9-30a2-467c-ad46-31f7732132c9&zip=" dist="10&ptype=" href="http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation/EventDetails.aspx?guid=4fc8d1a9-30a2-467c-ad46-31f7732132c9&party=4fc8d1a9-30a2-467c-ad46-31f7732132c9&zip=63368&dist=10&ptype=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" target="_blank">Road to Victory Rally with John McCain & Arnold Schwarzenegger in Columbus, OH</a><br />Please join John McCain & Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for a Road to Victory Rally in Columbus, OH on Friday, October 31st.

Barak Obama praising Rashid Khalidi, the one-time PLO spokesman/adviser during a 2003 farewell party in Chicago.

Have you seen the fluctuation these past few days and at other times, too? One day there's an 11 point spread, the next two. Who are they polling? The village idiots? They can't be polling the same people each day when they call their 200 or 5000 person sampling can they?<br /><br />I think there's some tom-foolery going on out there. It's an underground movement to discredit the polls.<br /><br />I remember when they used to have those boxes on top of the television to do the TV ratings. We had one for a while and we used to have fun turning on programs we weren't watching, sitting in front of the television for programs we hated and doing other things we thought would mess it up. Yes, we were silly.<br /><br />It's human nature to play games, and to try and be something we're not. It's cool in some circles to say you'll vote or to say you'll vote for Obama. When your spouse, who thinks you're going to vote one way, is sitting on the couch while you're polled, how are you going to answer?<br /><br />If the people who are out there being polled are really swinging from one party to the other that wildly, we need to change our voting requirements because we have idiots electing those who run our country.<br /><br />Here's what I really think is going on:<br /><br />There are close to 200 polls being done (I think the actual number being reported on is 177) as apposed to about 1/4 to 1/3 of that number in past elections.<br /><br />It's harder to reach people.<br /><br />People are giving up land lines and going to cell phones only, which I understand costs more to call and poll. Plus I'd imagine it's harder to find the numbers.<br /><br />Some of the respected pollsters have changed their methodology. They've been wrong so many times they're trying to find their way to accuracy and as you see by polls that continue to fluctuate like the tides, they're not there yet.<br /><br />There are a lot of people who've never voted before who have signed up and thus are considered to be "likely voters". A lot of them are new, easily led, unsure of the process, don't value the importance of their vote, and some flat out like to tweak pollsters.<br /><br />I'm feeling a ground swell for John McCain and Sarah Palin. I think Joe the Plumber, spread the wealth, Ayers, Wright and all the other associations are eroding the support for Obama among the moderates and independents. I think they're seeing things like the wild attacks on anyone who crosses Obama's path and seeing a glimpse of the future. I don't know if it's too little too late, but I have hope that we're going to see the true comeback kid pull this one out on November 4th.<br /><br />I pray that the intelligent voters come out and all the village idiots stay home through November 4th. The dummies can vote on Nov. 5th.Palin Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968964095783784846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369349616858769352.post-60709596508680629092008-10-16T10:08:00.003-04:002008-10-16T10:09:50.634-04:00Just saw the TV Fast thingI like the idea and would like to hear more about it please.
