The only person that looks worse than Hillary is Howard

Hillary Clinton’s lifelong dream must be to relive the nightmarish 1968 Democrat convention in Chicago. The problem is that Denver 2008 will make Chicago look like amateur hour. Let me paint a picture for you: Obama wins the majority of pledged delegates as the primaries come to a conclusion in early June.

Clinton and her band of delusional followers will continue to say that no one is the nominee, because no one made it to the 2,025 threshold. So we go through June, July, and August with the Clintons convincing the unpledged superdelegates that Obama can’t get 270 electoral votes, so there is no use nominating him.

And hundreds of stories are written to that effect, thus crippling Obama and REALLY angering his supporters. So a good percentage of crazy Obama supporters roll into Denver vowing to go ballistic if the Clinton dare to take it all away from them.

Two scenarios play out:

1) Obama hangs on and loses the general because the Clintons did... Read More

The Mainstream Media Strikes Again

The current issue of Newsweek has an article on what they expect to see in the months leading up to the general election. Naturally, because they believe that anyone who would go so far as to question anything about Barack Obama’s policies or past associations with unsavory characters is a right-wing “mudslinger”, they predict that the Right Wing Conspiracy will be in full force.

While that isn’t entirely unexpected, given the media’s feelings towards Senator Obama, there are two particularly offensive parts of this piece that put it into an entirely new category of journalistic bias.

First, Thomas and Wolffe report, “Then there's David Bossie, already deep into a mudslinging campaign against Obama through a political organization called Citizens United.” Of course, they don’t bother to back that claim up by giving any examples of mudslinging by Citizens United. They’d just prefer to paint any... Read More

The Difference Between Republicans and Democrats

Over the weekend, a number of events occurred in the world of foreign policy that demonstrate the stark difference between the way that Republicans and Democrats approach foreign policy.

First, AFP reported that Ahmadinejad, the same guy that Obama promised to meet without preconditions in the first 100 days of his hypothetical presidency, went off the reservation again:

“‘Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken,’ the official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as having said.

"‘Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation.’”

Then comes the news that (now former) Obama foreign policy advisor Rob Malley had been Read More

The Rules Have Changed - Just Not How Hillary Wishes They Had

George Will has a great column up on Real Clear Politics today where he tears apart Hillary’s rationale for continuing the race:

“Hillary Clinton, 60, Illinois native and Arkansas lawyer, became, retroactively, a lifelong Yankee fan at age 52 when, shopping for a U.S. Senate seat, she adopted New York state as home sweet home. She may think, or at least would argue, that when she was 12 her Yankees really won the 1960 World Series, by standards of 'fairness,' because they trounced the Pirates in runs scored, 55-27, over seven games, so there.

“Unfortunately, baseball's rules -- pesky nuisances, rules -- say it matters how runs are distributed during a World Series. The Pirates won four games, which is the point of the exercise, by a total margin of seven runs, while the Yankees were winning three by a total of 35 runs. You can look it up.”

Of course, for those of us... Read More

It's Finally Coming to an End

Matt Drudge’s headline says it all. Obama is the nominee. Tim Russert said last night that “we now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be.”

The question is, when will Hillary & Bill realize their 20 year plan will not be fulfilled? I think it’s now safe to say that Clinton & Co. are not the political geniuses many in the media have made them out to be.

Their epic failure to plan for many of the caucus states will go down as one of the biggest tactical blunders in presidential primary history. I just don’t think you can be described as a pair of political geniuses anymore when one lets himself get impeached and the other lets it slip away to a half-term senator.

The question is, what will they do? Will they be the typical selfish Clintons and stay in, divide the party further, and hope Obama loses, so she can run again in 2012? Or cut a deal so she can be the next Democrat leader of the Senate?

No one will argue that she can’t do a better...

New Photos of Obama's Bomber Buddy

Jim Geraghty over at National Review has a link to a new pic of Obama pal and unrepentant bomb-setter Bill Ayers stomping on an American flag underneath the quote “guilty as hell, free as a bird, it’s a great country.”

You’ll remember that Obama dodged the question about why he associated with an admitted terrorist by saying he wasn’t responsible for something that Ayers did 40 years ago. Ignoring the speciousness of THAT argument for just a moment, Obama is going to have a harder time getting away from this one, seeing as how he was serving on the board of a non-profit with Ayers at the time this particular shot was taken.

How many more of these relationships are going to pop up between now and November? With a

The Politician Continues to Emerge

Hot on the heels of Pastor Jeremiah Wright once again taking center stage in the Democrat Primary -- and revealing that Senator Obama kept him hidden in the basement the day he announced his Presidential run -- comes more breaking news that chips away at Obama’s self proclaimed “New Kind of Candidate” mantra.

Senator Obama has railed against special interests in politics during his primary run.

"The case has never been clearer - this kind of politics needs to end," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe wrote in a recent fundraising e-mail.

"[Y]ou can't say yesterday, you don't believe in 'em, and today, you're having three-quarters of a million dollars being spent for you. You can't just talk the talk." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Oskaloosa, IA, 12/22/07)

Rev Wright - A Game Changer?

Between Rev. Jeremiah Wright speaking at the National Press Club yesterday and North Carolina Governor Mike Easley endorsing Hillary Clinton today, the primaries on May 6 are becoming more and more interesting. Before Rev. Wright took off on his escapade with the national press corps, the conventional wisdom was that Barack Obama would easily win North Carolina and Indiana would be a much closer contest, with Hillary Clinton desperately needing a win in the Hoosier State.

But following the Rev’s week-long media tour, culminating with his sermon at the National Press Club yesterday, things are changing. The Governor of North Carolina, a state that Obama was expected to win handily, just endorsed Hillary Clinton. If Barack Obama was such a sure bet in the Tar Heel state, why would Governor Easley endorse Hillary Clinton? Does he see something that polling isn’t indicating? And have you noticed that the media stopped writing stories about how Obama has the nomination... Read More

Classic Clinton

I can’t help but chuckle to myself about what’s going on within the Democrat Party. Hillary Clinton CANNOT win the Democrat nomination in terms of popular vote and pledged delegates.

You may ask then, why is she not dropping out and endorsing Barack Obama? The answer: she’s a Clinton, and the Clinton’s don’t care about anyone but themselves.

When John McCain is elected in November, because Hillary and Bill refused to unite the party in time, another adjective will be added to the sorry Clinton legacy: selfishness. The ONLY way Hillary can become the nominee is to limp along to the convention, hoping that some new dirt is dug up on Obama, making his electability that much more difficult. Then in typical Clinton fashion, they will strong arm superdelegates and win REALLY ugly – the only way Hillary and Bill know how. Then with Hillary as the nominee that no one likes, they will go 100% NEGATIVE on John McCain, because that’s the only way a candidate with 60%...

SHOCKER: Wash Post Pens a Hit Piece on McCain

Did anyone actually read the 3800-word hatchet job The Washington Post did on Sen. McCain yesterday?

The liberal media has decided to try to make McCain’s temper an issue [because they have to hit McCain while the Democrats hit each other], and they aren’t going to let the facts get in the way of a good story. It’s clear that the reporter was going to write this story no matter what his sources told him, and that’s a shame.

The media bias here is astonishing. When is the Post going to do the front page above the fold story on Hillary Clinton’s temper, and report on some of her infamous lamp-throwing eruptions?

For the real story, check out McCain advisor Mark Salter's take on the piece at National Review Online:

Obama: Can’t ‘Swift Boat’ Me

The Obama campaign is planning to expand its research and rapid-response team in order to repel attacks it anticipates over his ties to 1960s radical Bill Ayers, indicted developer Antoin Rezko and other figures from his past. David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist, tells NEWSWEEK that the Illinois senator won't let himself be "Swift Boated" like John Kerry in 2004. "He's not going to sit there and sing 'Kumbaya' as the missiles are raining in," Axelrod said. . . . The move appears to be an acknowledgment that the Obama campaign may not have moved aggressively enough when questions about Ayers and Rezko first arose, and it comes amid fresh indications that conservative groups are preparing a wave of attack ads over the links.

Operatives such as David Bossie, whose Citizens United group made the Willie Horton ad that helped sink Michael Dukakis's 1988 presidential bid, are sharpening knives as expectations mount that Obama will... Read More

TIME Magazine GOES GREEN at the expense of WWII Veterans

In the latest attempt to push global warming alarmism, the cover on the April 21st issue of Time Magazine disgracefully replaces the American Flag in the famous Iwo Jima photo with … a tree?

WWII veterans are rightfully red with anger.

Donald Mates, an Iwo Jima veteran, told the Business & Media Institute on April 17 that using that photograph for that cause was a “disgrace.”

“It’s an absolute disgrace,” Mates said. “Whoever did it is going to hell. That’s a mortal sin. God forbid he runs into a Marine that was an Iwo Jima survivor.”

“Mates also said making the comparison of World War II to global warming was erroneous and disrespectful.”

“The second world war we knew was there,” Mates said. “There’s a big discussion. Some say there is global warming, some say there isn’t. And to stick a tree in place of a flag on the Iwo Jima picture is just...

China Rejects Apology – CNN Continues Capitulation

In Wednesday’s blog, I told you about CNN going out of their way to apologize to Communist China for remarks made on their network regarding the recent violence in Tibet and western parts of China.

To recap:

On CNN’s “Situation Room” Jack Cafferty said of the Chinese government "I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years," he said.

The Communist government and their sympathizers immediately reacted in typical fashion that could be accurately described as “goonish.”

As reported by Associated Press, “CNN has been singled out by the Chinese government and unknown activists who have phoned and e-mailed death threats to Western reporters.”

Nevermind the fact that much harsher criticism has been leveled at the Bush administration on the Clinton News Network, with no apology forthcoming. CNN quickly issued an apology for the statements to China.

Not good enough, said the Chinese, and Foreign... Read More

Miracle In Philadelphia

Not sure if you caught it, but it looks like Hillary Clinton actually admitted to lying last night about what she had been saying about her 1996 Bosnia trip! For those of us who have been waiting for this moment for 16 years or more, I think it’s time to pop the champagne!

Check it out and you be the judge:

TOM ROONEY, VOTER: "Senator Clinton, how do you reconcile the campaign credibility that you have when you made those comments about what happened getting off the plane in Bosnia, which totally misrepresented what really happened on that day? You really lost my vote. And what can you tell me to get that vote back?"

CLINTON: "Well, Tom, I can tell you that I may be a lot of things. But I'm not dumb. And I wrote about going to Bosnia in my book in 2004. I laid it all out there. And you're right. On a couple of occasions in the last weeks, I just said some things that weren't in keeping with what I knew to be the case and what I had written about... Read More

BARACK OBAMA – THE CHOICE OF TERRORISTS

One of the critical questions Americans should ask themselves this November is, “Who do our enemies want to win the election?”

At least one terrorist leader shed some light on that question earlier this week. And it’s bad news for the Senator from Illinois.

During an interview on WABC radio Sunday, top Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said the terrorist group supports Obama's foreign policy vision.

"We don't mind-actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance," Yousef said in response to a question about the group's willingness to meet with either of the Democratic presidential candidates.

Sounds like he’s reading straight from the Obama Campaign talking points, doesn’t it?

Now the notion that our enemies have a rooting... Read More

CNN Apologizes to Communist China…Citizens United and its supporters STILL WAITING.

Two recent actions by CNN, one directly involving Citizens United, reveal the true inner workings at the Clinton News Network.

Earlier this month on CNN’s program “Situation Room”, Jack Cafferty stated the United States imported Chinese-made "junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food", adding: "They're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years." A fairly accurate statement in my opinion. Of course, the Chinese government cried foul.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu condemned the "evil attack" by CNN on the Chinese people.

"Cafferty used the microphone in his hand to slander China and the Chinese people, and seriously violated reporting ethics," she said.

And in predictable fashion, not wanting to offend the peace-loving, human rights respecting Communists in China, CNN almost immediately apologized.

In a statement, CNN groveled, “It was not Mr. Cafferty's nor CNN's intent to... Read More

Bill Maher: Desperate for Relevance

As liberals prove every day, one of the rights we have in America is to display a stunning lack of intelligence. Last Friday, Bill Maher, Darling of the Left, Host of HBO’s “Politically Incorrect”, and former comedian carried the Liberal Flag of Ignorance a step further.

In another desperate “Look at Me” attempt to stay relevant (reminiscent of his comments that the 9/11 hijackers were not cowards) Maher spewed forth hate filled speech directed at Pope Benedict XVI and all Catholics in America.

Before we get into what he said, let’s make one thing clear. Maher is long on record as not being a religious man, to say the least. That’s his right.

On countless occasions he’s degraded and ridiculed anyone who believes in God as backward hayseeds whose faith in a higher power makes them no different from Islamic fundamentalists who kill in the name of Allah.

Again he can believe what he wants. His show is called “Politically Incorrect” and he is after all an... Read More

Obama Linked to Convicted Iraqi-Born Fraudster

The New York Times finally decided to do something useful: cover the Tony Rezko trial. It was disclosed in court yesterday that Barack Obama did in fact attend a party at Tony Rezko's home in 2004, a party that was also attended by none other than Nadhmi Auchi, a "controversial Iraqi-born investor."

Who is Nadhmi Auchi you ask?

You can blame the mainstream media for wanting nothing to do with this story in hopes of protecting their candidate.

It just so happens Auchi wired Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Rezko purchased the empty lot next to the Obama mansion. This $625,000 transaction, which enabled the Obamas to purchase the mansion next door, came at a time when the Rezkos were basically broke.

So let's get this straight: Auchi, "a billionaire who had been convicted on fraud charges in Europe," helped the Obama's buy their mansion in Chicago? Ouch.

The question is, what did Auchi get in return or what has he been promised?

TIME FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO SEE WHAT’S UNDER THE TREE

Ask any child under the age of 13 what their favorite holiday is and odds are they’ll answer Christmas morning. Ask any liberal democrat what their favorite holiday is and the response is likely to be April 15.

That’s right, it’s Tax Day. And liberals in Congress are as excited to tear into your tax dollars as a six year old is to tear open his presents on December 25.

President Ronald Reagan described the difference between Republicans and Democrats as only he could when he said during his re-election campaign in 1984, “Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15.”

It’s 24 years later and for the Democrats nothing has changed.

Earlier in the Democratic primary season, Hillary Clinton said America can’t afford to pay for everything she wants to do. Finally we agree.

Barack Obama has called for raising the current capital gains rate of 15 percent to 20-25 percent. At least he has backed off his... Read More

IT’S NOT WHAT OBAMA SAID, IT’S WHY HE SAID IT THAT REVEALS THE TRUTH ABOUT LIBERALS

So the liberal media is once again circling the wagons around Barack Obama.

The prevailing liberal talking point is that Obama “put his foot in his mouth”…he made a mistake in phrasing.

This wasn’t a mistake…and it wasn’t a poor choice of words.

Obama did American voters a favor. He pulled the curtain back a little more for all of us to see what liberals really think of all those backwards voters in fly-over country.

Here was the situation. On April 6th, Obama was at a private, big-money fundraiser in San Francisco. So he’s surrounded by the ultra-left wing of the Democrat party. Naïve enough to think what he says is not going to be broadcast for public consumption, and he let his guard down.

Here’s what he said in response to a question about blue-collar voters in rural areas. “So it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade... Read More

OH…YOU HAVE A DEGREE?

You choose.

You have to go the hospital for a surgical procedure.

Doesn’t matter what it is.

Now two doctors stand in front of you.

One has never performed this procedure, but just graduated from med school, has the degree and assures you they’ve read lots of books about the surgery and even has watched it performed a few times before.

The other physician has performed the surgery dozens of times, knows the do’s and don’ts and his patients make it out of the hospital.

You choose Number 2 right?

Me too.

I bring this up because of something Senator Obama said on Monday.

"[F]oreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain."

Tainted Tanks
EADS comes with a pernicious past.

By David N. Bossie

Dwight Eisenhower once observed, “History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.” The danger of weakness in prosecuting the War on Terror brings to mind the wisdom of Eisenhower’s prescient observation.

Consider the recent decision by the Department of Defense to award a $35 billion contract to build America’s fleet of refueling tankers to the French-owned European Aerospace Defense and Space Company (EADS). In one of the most colossal blunders of the struggle against the terrorists, we have handed over the future of a vital tool in the projection of U.S. power over to bureaucrats and politicians in Russia and France.

Carter To Visit Middle East . . . to Meet With HAMAS?!

The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Jimmy Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.

Visit our troops? Uh . . . No.

Meet with the commanders on the ground? He’ll pass. Give credibility to a murdering group of thugs determined to kill as many Americans as possible by meeting with their leader? HE’S THERE!

This biggest embarrassment to sit in the White House in my lifetime…the man whose total lack of leadership, vision and common sense nearly drove our country into the ground, will reportedly be meeting with the leader of the terrorist group Hamas.

In a blatant effort to undermine the Bush Administration’s policy regarding this group of murderers and damage our credibility overseas, Jimmy Carter wants to talk peace with Khaled Meshal, the exiled leader of Hamas who is now in Syria.
