The real story about Crist leaving the Republican Party

Let me say first that I am limited regarding what I can say about this due to my membership with the Local REC. I can however raise questions about why exactly Crist would run as an independent, possibly throwing the FL senatorial race to a democrat. Why would Crist do this if he is not a closet liberal (among other things)? Could this move have anything to do with Crist's cozy relationship with Obama? Was he possibly offered something such as a post in the White House to throw an election he can't possibly win? Does he realize that independents disapprove of him almost as much as Republicans because of his lack of action on necessary issues and his actions and support of issues near and dear to our favorite community organizer? I will say that I don't think that Crist will get even 10% of the vote and that the race will not be close enough for the puny vote he gets to make a difference. Between now and election time, Crist will have to announce what party he will caucas with. That will make a huge impact on how voters will feel about him going forward. Hint: There is only one party he can caucas with and that is the one in power. So, doesn't that make it more likely that Crist will split the democrat votes instead of Republican and independent (anti-Obama) votes?

Andy Stern to Resign as SEIU Head

  

Via and with a big H/T to: Reaganite Republican  I don’t visit the Reaganite often enough.  Was perusing this morning and caught this: 

The disturbingly influential head of the Purple People Beaters is planning to step-down (in 2012), according to Politico- this of course comes as a surprise, right at the peak for this power-hungry rabble-rouser .  Strange it is... so what's he up to?- best to keep an eye on this one

Reaganite Republican: Andy Stern to Resign as SEIU Head

Left this as a comment, and it sums up my opinion.

  It is not likely that Stern is going to be given a MORE high profile position. The reason he is probably moving/changing is because he has been shown to be too HIGH profile already. These people do their work in the weeds under the cover of darkness, A la Van Jones.  They cannot stand the sunlight. He has been caught out in the sun and widely reported as being the most frequent visitor to Chairman Zero's throne room. He is just going to go back underground. He may be moved to a liberal policy think thank, or may be called back to the mother ship at the Soros Foundation, or create a new evil organization.  That is what they do. Old Hippie Rabble Rousers never die they just create new organizations and rebrand themselves. That is what they have done since the sixties.

Eric Holder: Obama’s deranged Idiot cousin.

Via FOX News, H/T to Musings of a Vast Right-Winger

Usama bin Laden (I don’t know why but it irritates me when they spell it Usama.  Usama/Osama who cares?  Spelling it with a “U” seems to be the “friendlier” thing to do or something) will never be captured alive, Attorney General Eric Holder told lawmakers on Tuesday. "The possibility of capturing him alive is infinitesimal," Holder said. "He will be killed by us, or he will be killed by his own people so that he is not captured by us. We know that. ... The possibility simply does not exist."

[SNIP] Republicans … suggested he intends to treat terrorism suspects as "common criminals." Holder said such suggestions tend to "get my blood boiling," calling them "anything but the truth."

He said the "apt" comparison is to mass murderers like Charles Manson, …Trying to  explain the analogy, Holder said mass murderers like Manson still reserve the right to go before a jury and have the charges against them proved beyond a reasonable doubt. "In some ways I think they're comparable people, in some ways," Holder said.

Rep. John Culberson, R-Tex., called that response "incredible." "This is where the disconnect between this administration in your mindset is so completely opposite that of where the vast majority of the American people are," Culberson said. "This is war, and in a time of war we as a nation have never given Constitutional rights to foreign nationals, enemy soldiers, certainly captured overseas."

[snip] As for the Charles Manson analogy, Holder said he was simply trying to think of a mass murderer. [Snip] "The comparison is between people who have committed the most heinous acts and have been charged in [civilian] courts."

  Still, Culberson found the Charles Manson analogy ill-advised. "By granting Usama bin Laden the right to appear in a U.S. courtroom, you are clothing Usama bin Laden with the protections of the U.S. Constitution," he said.

[Snip] Holder may be the first U.S. official to say unequivocally that bin Laden will never be captured alive, but he is not the first to raise such a possibility. In October 2001, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said bin Laden may never be captured, adding that capturing or killing the Al Qaeda leader would be "very difficult." "It's a big world," he told USA Today. "There are lots of countries. He's got a lot of money, he's got a lot of people who support him and I just don't know whether we'll be successful. Clearly, it would be highly desirable to find him."

The biggest reason he will not be taken alive they left unsaid.  We are not really looking for him and he will die of old age, someday. For heaven’s sake it's been 9 years and you're telling me that if the United States really, really, wanted this guy we would not have found him?

Holder is effin delusional, just like the pResident, and it speaks to Obama's mindset as well. This obvious moonbat would have probably tried to prosecute the Japanese for Pearl Harbor- AT LEAST they attacked a Military Base, not Civilians in offices.  Charlie Manson, an apt comparison?  Manson was responsible for 8 murders, not thousands, and not acts of war. Bin Laden orchestrated the attacks on The WTC, The Pentagon, and just where do you think the other plane was going? (hint) 

  No, an apt comparison between Osama and someone else would be Hitler, or one of the top people of the SS, rounding up and killing people for being Jewish.  No wonder they don’t see the Hamas or Hezbollah as big deals, they are just firing rockets into civilian homes, that is kinda like what Billy Ayers did isn’t it?

I used to believe Osama was dead, now I am open to the possibility that he is still alive, but we are not looking for him.  And to quote Rumsfield...that pisses me off as well, We HAD HIM (here is another better account) and he let turf warfare and political considerations get in the way.

If I had my way we would capture his skinny ass, take him to ground zero and give him to a pack of wild starving hogs....

or better yet just simply shoot him where we find him so dickheads like Holder can't sing effin Kum Ba Ya with him.

Viral of the day: Thank you BHO

That is right I will say it THANK GOD FOR BARAK OBAMA!!

He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine – Driving a stake thru the heart of Hillary’s Presidential aspirations – something no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you!

He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty – No more Kennedy’s trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and Freedom are safer tonight!

He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!

Dennis Moore had never lost a race – quit

Evan Bayh had never lost a race – quit

Byron Dorgan – had never lost a race – quit

Harry Reed - GONE

These are just a handful of the Democrats that whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be!

In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party.

In one year Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans.

He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every Generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well!

Liberals tax, borrow and spend – check

Liberals won’t bring themselves to protect America – check

Liberals want to take over the economy – check

Liberals think they know what is best for everyone – check

Liberals aren’t happy till they are running YOUR life - check

He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan

In One year he rejuvenated the Conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans

Name me one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!

In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I had ever been in my life. Not of the economy but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends, strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the Greatness and Wisdom of the American people was flat out wrong.

When the American People wake up no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them!

Barak Obama woke up these Great Americans

Again I want say Thank you Barak Obama!
Remember what Jimmy Carter got us? Ronald Reagan!

Conflict of interest:Toyota vs. US GOV????

In my household we own a 2008 Toyota Prius (never been recalled) and a Honda Prelude (which in 4 months will be eligible for "antique" tags") as it will be 20 years old and runs like new. When I watch the federal government, namely the Congress grill Toyota CEOs over a tiny (but serious if true) number of events which Toyota recalled almost it's entire 2004-2010 fleet, I wonder a few things.

1. Since the federal government owns GM and Chrysler, makes the rules regarding automobile recalls, is this a conflict of interest.

2.How come the government has made such a big deal over the Toyota recalls when an equal number of recalls happened to automakers whose domestic plants are unionized? Has the current regime, at any other time, favored unionized business over non-unionized businesses?

3.Is it possible given the fact that (especially here in Florida) people put 30 inch rims on a car made for 15 inch rims that such things could affect the computer systems of a car which would be beyond Toyota's control?

4. I am about to post photos of consumer reports quality assessments of various vehicles from Toyota and the Government made cars. These reports are based on surveys based on reports from owners who give assessments of their cars. Consumer reports takes no advertising money from any special interests and are as close to one can get to an honest look at the quality of an auto one is considering buying. In these photos, the red dots mean good, black dots mean bad

01-07 Toyota Prius:

98-07 Toyota RAV4 SUV

01-07 Toyota Highlander SUV

01-05 Chevrolet Venture minivan

01-07 Chevrolet Monte Carlo coupe

Dodge Ram Truck

Anybody besides me notice the sea of red dots regarding the Toyotas, and all the black dots among the products from the now government owned businesses? I don't have the time or energy to post every vehicle from every make, however I believe the contrast is clear. GM and Chrysler (owned by the government) know that they have years worth of crap on the road, yet are insisting on recalling every Toyota from 2004 to present. Yet when it comes to vehicles that the government is responsible for (due to warranties) are absolute crap, yet the government says nothing. Is it possible that this is ultimately revenge for Toyota taking a quiet lead in opposing "card check" which would force the unionization of their American manufacturing plants????

Anatomy of a Failed Presidency!

The following is an interesting article.. I wonder how long Dr. Hunt can remain at NIH once the powers that be get wind of this article.

Dr. Hunt is a social and cultural anthropologist. He has had nearly 30 years experience in planning, conducting, and managing research in the field of youth studies and drug and alcohol

research. Currently Dr. Hunt is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Analysis and the Principal Investigator on three National Institutes on Health projects.

He is also a writer for American Thinker.
Another Failed Presidency
An article from American Thinker

- by Geoffrey P. Hunt
Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson.

In the modern era, we've seen several failed presidencies --- led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait ---

they are repudiated, in t

he vernacular, spat out.Of course, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into

oncoming traffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, yet his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his

triumphant overture to China.But, Barack Obama is failing. Failing big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives,

and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people. The incomparable Dorothy Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal put her finger on it : He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people,

and may indeed loathe them. Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard says he is failing because he has lost control of his message, and is overexposed. Clarice Feldman of American Thinker produced a dispositive commentary showing that Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate; his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame.

But, there is something more seriously wrong: How could a new president riding in on a wave of precedented promise and goodwill have forfeited his tenure and become a lame duck in six months? His poll ratings are in free fall. In generic balloting, the Republicans have now seized a five point advantage. This truly is unbelievable. What's going on?

No narrative. Obama doesn't have a narrative. No, not a narrative about himself. He has a self-narrative, much of it fabricated, cleverly disguised or written by someone else. But this self-narrative is isolated and doesn't connect with us. He doesn't have an American narrative that draws upon the rest of us. All successful presidents have a narrative about the American character that intersects with their own where they display a command of history and reveal an authenticity at the core of their personality that resonates in a positive endearing way with the majority of Americans. We admire those presidents whose narratives not only touch our own, but who seem stronger, wiser, and smarter than we are. Presidents we admire are aspirational peers, even those whose politics don't align exactly with our own: Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Harry Truman, Ike, and Reagan.

But not this president. It's not so much that he's a phony, knows nothing about

economics, and is historically illiterate and woefully

small minded for the size of the task --- all

contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us. And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper.

Moreover, he doesn't command our respect and is unable to appeal to our own common sense. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant and how things work just don't add up. They are not existential. His descriptions of the world we live in don't make sense and don't correspond with our experience.

In the meantime, while we've been struggling to take a measurement of this man, he's dissed just about every one of us --- financiers, energy producers,

banks, insurance executives, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, post office workers, and anybody else who has a non-green job. Expect Obama to lament at his last press conference in 2012:

"For those of you I offended, I apologize. For those of you who were not offended, you just didn't give me enough time; if only I'd had a second term, I could have offended you too."

Mercifully, the Founders at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 devised a useful remedy for such a desperate state ---staggered terms for both houses of the legislature and the executive. An equally abominable Congress can get voted out next year. With a new Congress, there's always hope of legislative gridlock until we vote for president again two short years after that.

Yes, small presidents do fail, Barack Obama among them. The coyotes howl but the wagon train keeps rolling along.

Margaret Thatcher: "The trouble with Socialism is, sooner or later you run out of other people's money."

"When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both." - James Dale Davidson, National Taxpayers Union

"The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates." - Tacitus

A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't own." - Unknown

Obama has brought failure to a whole new level.

He has Yet to make one right decision since he has been appointed leader. He thinks his swollen ego will help him.

simple fact, that kind of ego is nothing but a big turnoff to the American People and that will not change anytime soon
