Say Good Night, Hillary. GAME OVER!!

The writing is on the wall....
 
    Two weeks ago, Barack Obama was handed his head in the Pennsylvania Primary. Now, He's on top of the world after winning North Carolina. Even his 2-point defeat at the hands of Hillary Clinton could be construed as a victory. For now it is quite clear, Hillary Clinton's days as a viable Presidential candidate are numbered (if not already over). In order for her to rebound and have any chance of leapfrogging Obama for the Democratic nomination, she needs to get the "Superdelegates" on her side and somehow get the delegates from Michigan and Florida (who were stripped of their convention seats for violating party rules and held their primaries before February 2nd) seated. The "Superdelegates" (high-profile party members including past and current elected officials) have all but stated they will not go against the popular vote and the pledged delegates which now favors Obama for the most part (they are not that stupid). Otherwise, she is finished. Even long-time Clinton supporters such as George McGovern (Whom the Clintons worked for on his 1972 Campaign) has called for her to quit the race.  
 
    Hillary Clinton needs to read the writing on the wall: As much as the Dems want to regain control of the White House, they don't want to be owing to the Clintons for another four to eight years (GOD FORBID...PLEASE!). If that means electing a freshman senator who has spent more time running for President than doing what voters in Illinois elected him to do, so be it. Her best chance is to wait until 2012 and run again. Obama could screw up big time during the first four years of  a Democratic administration  if he is elected, so could John McCain if the Republicans win. That would put her in the position of the Democrat's redeemer. As for now if she wants to be the cause of a civil war within the Democratic Party, that is her prerogative. My party has already made up it's mind, and so have I.

Campaign 08': Bad times for Barack

 It's been a bad couple of weeks for Barack Obama.....Too Bad.
 
      At a private fundraiser in The Soviet Republic of San Francisco, The Illinois Senator commented that economic frustrations in small towns in Pennsylvania led people to cling to God, guns and prejudice. He paid for that crack when he lost to Hillary Clinton in the Keystone State Primary. Senator, you can't badmouth people for their beliefs and then expect them to support you. Then his former Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright (AKA: the "Millstone") reiterated his comments about America's "Chickens coming home to roost" (That the United States deserved to be attacked on 9/11) and that the HIV/AIDS virus was developed by the U.S. government as a genocide weapon aimed at African-Americans. Then Wright said that if Obama were elected President, he would "Go after him" (that he would confront Obama as President of the United States and head of the government he despises, not as one of his congregation). That forced Obama back into damage control mode, severing all ties with Wright.
 
     Then there is Bill Ayers. During the 1960s, Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground. They were responsible for bombings at the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol and New York Police Headquarters in a campaign of terror aimed at forcing the U.S. to pull out of Vietnam. What is that word that describes people who do things like this? I know...I know....TERRORISTS!!! Now Ayers is a Professor at the University of Chicago. He makes no apologies for his actions and said on 9/11 that he regrets not setting off more bombs. Obama is an "acquaintance" of Ayers. Obama downplays the relationship, stating they sat on committees together and that their children were closer friends than they were. 
 
A hate-monging minister with delusions of grandeur and a domestic terrorist who should be cooling his heels at "Gitmo" . With friends like these... who needs enemies? Hillary must be laughing her fool head off.
 
On to Indiana and North Carolina...The dogfight continues.

Clinton/Obama 2008: LIES...LIES AND MORE LIES!!!

Is is me or is the Democratic Party a LIARS CLUB?...
 
 
 The one thing both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have in common is a near-pathological bent for lying through their teeth:
 
1) Hillary Claims she feared for daughter Chelsea's safety  on 9/11 in that she was jogging around the World Trade Center the morning of the attack. In reality. Chelsea was home safe and sound and was watching the attacks on TV.
 
2) Hillary was under sniper fire in Bosnia during a visit to U.S. Troops in 1996. Video of the visit says otherwise. Question: If the situation was so bad that day why did she bring Chelsea with her?
 
3) Hillary claims to support the rights of gun owners. She supported the Brady Bill and the Ban on Semi-Automatic firearms (So-Called "Assault Weapons") and is on record she will reinstate that ban if elected.
 
Those are just a few of her "Misspoken" moments.
 
 Barack Obama seems to have the same problem with the truth as well:
 
1) Obama Claims he was "conceived" around the time of the civil rights march on Selma, Alabama in 1965. He was born in 1961.
 
2) Obama claims he was a Constitutional Law Professor at the University of Chicago. He is a "Senior Lecturer" (on leave of absence). He taught Constitutional law but is not a tenured professor.
 
3) Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times that he estimates he recieved between $50,000 and $60,000 in campaign from indicted "businessman" Tony Rezko. Try $168,000.
 
These may seem petty lies to some. However, it bespeaks a pattern of deception that needs to be scrutinized more deeply. If they lied about these incidents. What else have they lied about and why should we trust either of them with our safety?

Campaign 08': The Madness Continues...

 Are you as tired of this Garbage as I am?...
 
 
    Back in January, both Michigan and Florida held their Democratic Presidential primaries. Michigan's was on January 15th, Florida's on the 29th.  The Democratic National Committee warned both state committees that they would be stripped of their delegates the the national convention if they held their primaries before February 5th. Both states defied the DNC and as of now will not be represented in Denver this August. Hillary Clinton won both primaries and wants the delegates seated. Current Democratic Barack Obama followed Party instructions and took his name off both state ballots. Obama's supporters were told their votes would not be counted and many simply stayed away from the polls. At stake are 313 delegates to the convention (128 from Michigan, 185 from Florida). With the Democratic race so close, their status is now a serious issue. Clinton wants the delegates she won seated so she can leapfrog Obama's lead perhaps win the nomination, while Obama is demanding the DNC stick to it's guns, keep the delegates out and preserve his lead.
 
   The problem with National Party Chief Howard Dean is this: If the delegates from Michigan and Florida are not seated, the backlash could lead to those states going independent or worse (for the Dems at least), go Republican in November. If they are seated and cast their votes for Clinton, the Obama camp may cry "FOUL!", "FIX!" and, you can bet the farm on this...."RACISM!" This has become a nightmare for the Democrats who swore after the 2000 fiasco to "Count every vote and make every vote count." Efforts to stage "Re-Votes" in both states have failed due to the lack of time to organize such a vote and the DNC's refusal to bankroll the "Re-Votes". The National Committee wants the states to put up the money citing their need to save money for the national campaign for whoever wins the nomination and would rather leave it up to the taxpayers in Michigan and Florida to pick up the tab. As a taxpayer (and Republican), I can tell you I don't want to ante up for any second chance elections for the Democrats. If Clinton or Obama want "Re-Votes," Let them pony up for them. As for this year, I have to agree with Al Sharpton (for once) when he said "Let the rules be the rules." The DNC should hold firm, ban the delegates, go into the convention two states short and take their chances in the general election. As for the state parties in Michigan and Florida, their leadership should be held accountable and shown the door for their arrogance and utter stupidity.
