McCain finally defends Palin

Hey, it's only been 8 days after the election, and McCain finally got the nerve to defend Palin.

Thank you, Sentator McLame. So why did it finally take over one week after the election for you to defend her? Where were you during the campaign? Why didn't you immediately defend Governor Palin when your own campaign operatives criticized her, when you immediately defended your opponent during the race?

Some fucking maverick you are. A real maverick would have done the right thing right away. McCain's lame and late attempt to defend Palin further proves my statements about GOP leaders being out of touch with the party's basic principles and behind the times. GOP party leaders and the McCain operatives strayed from the party's principle of exercising traditional values throughout the campaign and again when, instead of defending Palin and thanking her for giving the campaign a fighting chance, they trashed her. Instead of running on messages that would provide a greater response, the campaign and party leaders stressed the maverick theme - an idea that would eventually backfire (and it did).

I'm still scratching my head as to how this guy got picked to be our candidate.

Why Murtha and Obama will lose Pennsylvania

The Obamessiah and Congressman Murtha have proven their liberal agenda time and time again in this election cycle. They really show that they don't care about us Pennsylvanians. After all, how can a Presidential candidate and a Congressman claim that they wants our vote if they think of us as a bunch of religious zealots who love to fire our shotguns at empty beer cans in the woods, burn crosses in our back yards at family functions, marry our uncle's brother's nephew's half-sister (who also happens to be your half-sister), ride around in pickup trucks, hang confederate flags on July 4th, and smoke 400 packs of Marlboros to get a jacket?

I for one am proud to be a Pennsylvanian living in God's country. I enjoy my freedom to read the Bible daily, pray to Jesus, and go to church on a Sunday morning. I also enjoy my right to own my Ruger SR9 and a Keltec PF-9 for protection, and a Mossberg 12 gauge for hunting. I am proud to spend autumn afternoons in a tree stand with my PSE bow. I am proud to toss a line in a lake, stream, or river and hope to catch that big one. I am proud to pack a tent, a couple of sleeping bags, and a case of Yuengling in my truck and head off to the woods with my wife and three kids for a weekend camping trip. I am very fortunate to have married into the ultimate dysfunctional family - not just because of the comic relief they provide but because they show unconditional love. I am also lucky that my friends are real people who will help you out in a jam because you've been there for them so many times. I am glad that my neighbors are good people with traditional, conservative values. I am proud to have Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Cash, Charlie Daniels, and Hank Williams Jr. in my music collection. I am also proud to be a small business owner, working hard to put food on my family's table trying to instill traditional values in my kids.

I am a proud American, and I for one take offense to what liberals like Murtha and Obama say about people like me. I know that there are more people like me out there reading this blog who also take offense to what these libs say about real Americans. Obama and Murtha made it clear that they don't like us and that they don't want our votes. I say we stand up and give them exactly what they want: a vote for McCain and Palin.

John McCain and Sarah Palin Trick-or-Treaing in NEPA

My predictions for the three major races on Tuesday

McCain and Obama will be a very close election, decided under a 5% margin. This one's still too close to call. My guess is that Obama will win with a slight advantage unless McCain pulls some major miracle out his ass. Obama has the media behind him, and the voters either are just too stupid to recognize that Obama's not ready to lead or just don't care because they really feel that he's the chosen one and that Biden's a prophet.

Kanjorski will lose to Barletta by 8-13%. Uncle Paul made a series of errors in his campaign, including waiting too late to get aggressive, going over-aggressive, and failing to show up at key appearances. Barletta's been busting his rear end being out in public and is gaining ground. The only chance Kanjo has is if the voters in the 11th push the "D" button like they did in the last 2 Congressional elections (A number of local voters called in the Sue Henry show admitting that they forgot that they wanted a republican but were just too accustomed to hitting the D button).

Carney will beat Hackett under a 10% margin. Hackett's campaign in the general, much like the republican primary races in the 10th, was just a disgrace. He just didn't run a strong enough campaign.

Obama's internal polling shows liberal media slant

The liberal media has already called the election and claims that Obama is measuring the drapes in the White House. So, why does his internal poll show only a margin of 2%?

The fact is he knows he's losing in the polls which is why he's starting to play the liberal playbook.

The final Presidential Debate

I know I'm late putting this post up, but I've been on the road all day and finally had a chance to sit down at the computer and relax while inhaling some BK.

I don't care what the political pundits in the liberal media say, I don't think Obama won the presidential debachle. I have to give the win to Joe the Plumber.

McCain's performance last night can be compared to a bottle rocket. He started off strong, made a crack, and fell softly to the ground. At first, McCain was aggressive and for the first time I thought that Obama was going to have his ass handed to him, but McCain just didn't follow up on the jabs leaving Obama unbruised. Compared to the previous presidential debachles, McCain did a little better but I was still disappointed.

Obama looked like a deer caught in headlights for most of the debate and spoke as if he were caught off guard for the first 30 minutes. Other than having to be on the defensive most of the night and having no capability of taking control of the debate, Senator Government merely stuck to his usual playbook: talk in circles and don't answer the question. Because that's exactly what America needs!

The candidates debate again

...and this was one pitiful debate. Neither one of the candidates said anything new or significantly unique outside their normal talking points. The debate neither hurt nor helped either candidate's campaign last night. It was a total joke and a big disappointment.

Obama shows failure to exercise leadership.... again

In the latest news, we have a big financial problem in this country which could very well lead us to another depression if it's not fixed. Banks and other financial institutions will be forced to close, causing a huge financial meltdown: Warren Buffet calls the credit crisis the "economic Pearl Harbor."

President Bush - in a rare instance - actually showed himself to be somewhat intelligent when speaking about this issue. He finally showed that not all his brain cells were killed by coke and beer. Bush is insisting on a bailout and he wants the problem solved ASAP, noting that this is one of the few times he would say that government intervention is desperately needed and justified. If we let the market solve its own problems this time around our country will be in bad shape. I agree.

I don't care whether you're republican, democrat, left, right, independent, etc., you have to agree that we don't want to see a bombshell drop on our economy. We want to prevent people from losing their homes, business owners from losing their livelihood, people from losing their jobs, etc.

John McCain put a hold on campaigning for President until this issue is resolved. He decided to head to DC and made a commitment to help solve this problem putting this country's problems first. This, to me, shows real leadership.

The Obamessiah, however, did not exercise this kind of leadership. He did not show anything except his true self: a do-nothing person who is afraid of making any real decisions. Instead of focusing on the economy, he's focused on staying on the campaign trail, insisting on being seen on TV and heard by millions of his lib followers. I guess that's what you get out of a community organizer with no executive experience.

McCain and Obama hold truce for today

In commemorance of 9/11, McCain and Obama agreed to not air negative ads against each other today.

Joe Leonardi speaks again...

...and as usual, he's right on the mark.

Like Dr. Leonardi, I wasn't surprised to see Sarah Palin to be picked to be McCain's VP. I called it weeks before it happened among my GOP friends (so for all those who think I'm crazy and have no clue about politics - you owe me a beer). If McCain wanted to show himself to be a maverick while gaining support from the conservative base, she was the only realistic choice.

But there are other great points about Sarah Palin that makes her more qualified to be in the White House than Barack Hussein Obama will ever be, and Dr. Joe Leonardi points them out better than anybody I know. Here are a few articles he wrote on Sarah Palin:

Article 1

Article 2

Article 3

His articles further emphasize my earlier point when Gretchen from Fox and Friends cried out why the feminists are not coming in Palin's defense: a strong, conservative woman doesn't need the help of liberal feminists.

McCain accepts nomination

I mentioned before many times that I am not a fan of McCain, but his selection of Sarah Palin convinced me to vote for the GOP ticket and sway away from Barr. Nonetheless, I will try to be as objective as I can about McCain's speech... so here it goes:

I was really pissed to see protesters at the speech, showing themselves to be nothing more than a bunch of leftist nuts embarrassing themselves and illustrating the epitomy of the democratic agenda - even though this began to look as if it were going to be the highlight of his speech.

There's no doubt that McCain's speech was boring when compared to Palin's, and it did start out as empty as my bar after a good night of poker. Much like Obama's speech, McCain talked a lot but didn't say anything. Unlike Obama, McCain did extend his congratulations for winning his party's nomination and showed himself to be a true gentleman in competition admitting respect for his former competitor. Also unlike Obama, McCain kept a positive outlook and was sincere.

The speech became more interesting about 10 minutes into empty talk when he threatened the good-ole-boys that he and Palin will shake things up in DC. He then made the point clear that he wasn't interested in playing party politics and will hold politicians accountable for their actions. He discussed his experience as a maverick for shaking things up and doing what he thinks is best for the country. Really the same old same old McCain talk.

McCain did a great job separating himself from the GOP and differentiating himself from Obama in many ways:

• McCain touted his experience
• McCain said specifically what he would do with Iran
  
• McCain also said something I said when I ran for office which pretty much shut me out of the republican party: the party has lost its ways and needs to get back to its roots. There was a large silence in the arena when McCain dissed his own party. "We went to Washington to change Washington and Washington changed us... we lost their trust... we're going to change that"
• He told his story about how he came to love his country, why he puts his country first, and why he wants to shake things up. He stole the theme of fighting for change right from under Obama's feet.
  

Here's also what I liked about McCain's speech:

• He proved not to be out of touch with the American people and the economic issues middle class America faces.
• Unlike Obama, McCain was specific about some of his proposed tax code changes
• McCain offered a plan to stimulate the economy by re-educating displaced workers
• McCain's plan to use vouchers for education - something I support
• McCain's plan to abolish the teachers' unions - something I also support
  

What I don't like about McCain's speech:

• He told republicans that he will return the party to its roots, but failed to say how.
• He spit out typical conservative rhetoric, but failed to say how he was going to lower taxes, promote individualism, maintain open markets, cut government spending, solve the health care issue
• He wasn't specific about which programs he would cut or eliminate
• He also wasn't specific about his energy plan
  

Sarah Palin slams the libs and shows herself to be a threat to the left

I don't know what to say except that Sarah Palin stood up very well to the leftists and the liberal media last night. What conservatives really don't mention about Palin since all the "truths" about her came out was that the leftist media came out in full force on Osama's (oops, I meant Obama's) behalf because they see Palin as a threat to the Washington institution. She is a person of character and is not afraid to fight for what is right (anti-corruption; anti-spending; and anti-liberal agenda).

I think she shut them up. Notice how Obama's camp is quiet now. Even MSNBC and CNN have little to say.

What I love about her speech last night - besides she mentioned Scranton - was that she was Reaganesque, proving that conservatism isn't dead. She spoke elloquently and calmly, while making sound arguments.

Also, if you saw Rudy and Romni speak you can see how the GOP is charged up about her being the VP nominee. They also spoke the truth about the liberal messiah: he has done nothing material since entering public service.

McCain/Palin is the team to beat this November

When you have a chance, take a look at Sarah "barracuda" Palin's speech to accept the GOP VP nomination. She has charisma that can match Obama's. She is more passionate than Obama about this country, and she'll take away the Hillary supporters from Obama. Most importantly, she is as conservative as they get. Obama's cheap attempt to discredit her was pathetic at most and shows that he can't compete even with Biden as his VEEP.

Sarah Palin is McCain's VP Pick

It's official:

The current Alaska governor, 44 year old, Sarah Palin is John McCain's Veep. She will prove to be a great piece of asset to the campaign. She also carries with her a great set of values.

Now that we got the puns out of the way, let's really examine this pick:

I said on Gort's blog a few weeks ago that McCain desperately needs a conservative running mate who will also allow him to be perceived as a maverick. McCain himself is not a conservative, and real republicans know it. Sarah Palin is the most suited for the role as VP to keep McCain's image as a maverick and someone who is not afraid to shake things up in DC; bring on board some conservative voters; swing democrat voters away from Obama; and attract undecided voters.

Mrs. Palin's reputation as one who is not afraid to challenge her own party, challenge big oil, cut spending, and tackle corruption definitely makes her a maverick and reinforces McCain's image. Her views are different than McCain's in the respect that she's a conservative.

She is also a viable threat to the Obama camp - and the dems know it as proven in their harsh, yet foolish statement (She was mayor of a town of 9,000 with no foreign policy experience). Last time I checked, the only foreign policy experience Obama has was when the messiah went on his world tour. Obama also lacks experience. She's youthful, has executive experience, and female - something Hillary supporters may look positively on.

What I like most is that the Palin announcement in Dayton, OH had cheerleaders - because that's very important in politics. And it's because of the cheerleaders why I am no longer undecided. Go McCain/Palin!

McCain set to announce VP choice today

It's no secret that I am still on the fence about the Presidential race this year. Neither candidate will do any good for our nation: both candidates are a joke. Every time I hear McCain and GOP Presidential candidate in the same sentence, I cringe - it makes me wonder if there are any real republicans left standing. Every time I point out the faults of our party and make even a mere mention that the GOP is not the same party as it was 20 years ago (or even 20 months ago), I get a lot of hate mail and reminders as to why the republican elite despises me.

Yes, our party has lost its way. McCain as our candidate is proof of this. I am unsure of whether I should vote for the white haired dude - I mean RINO - or the guy who actually admits to being a liberal.

The self-proclaimed maverick is set to announce his VP choice this afternoon. I will fully comment on his - I mean the GOP's - selection when the time comes. If you don't know by now, the party really selects the running mate. Remember Reagan's personal pick being thrown out the window?

Even though the media isn't making this selection to be a nail biter like they did for their messiah I will probably sit at the edge of my seat this afternoon waiting to find out.

Oh.. I almost forgot: Senator McCain, all politics aside, happy 72nd birthday.

Proof that the media is liberal

Here are a few things that show how liberal the media really is:

• They follow Obama to the ends of the Earth and cling to his every word as though he is their savior.
• The media made you want to bite your nails waiting for Obama to make his announcement for VP choice.
• The media made you want to think that Obama's speech last night was going to be the biggest event ever - even bigger than the Olympics.
• The media makes little mention or brings out any excitement about the fact that McCain is about to make his VP choice public this afternoon.
• The media makes little mention of the fact that there is another convention coming soon.

This is who we have as a Presidential candidate?

You gotta be fucking kidding me. John Fucking McCain?????

The guy doesn't resemble anything that made our party great over 20 years ago. This old fart will make our party no different than some wacko independent who can't decide whether he/she should be republican or democrat. He says he's a trooper in the Reagan army, but must be suffering from dementia. The only time he sounded like Reagan was when he sat with Rev. Warren. If he sounded like this from day one I might actually cast my vote for him without reserve.

How can someone who helped pass bills like McCain-Feingold and McCain-Kennedy say he's a conservative?

If this guy is our candidate, I'll act like an ostrich and bury my head in the sand. No matter who's elected, we might as well put ourselves in the crash position: Ladies and gentlemen put you head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye
