Biden Makeover to Counter Palin Threat

Joe Biden in order to counter the threat posed by Sarah Palin has decided to undergo a complete remake to make him more acceptable to the Obama campaign.

Obama believes this graphic representation of the youth vote through the appearance of Joe Biden will be a winner. Joe Biden responded with "Bling her on" , but when ask about Palins comment in her speech about "Hockey Moms" he did concede he was a bit scared of Pit Bulls with lipstick.

Well, this team Obama seems to spare no expense to mesmerise the voter with Smoke , Mirrors and Styrofoam Greek Columns. 

The light side of the campaign.

LIBERAL BIAS MEDIA EXPOSED

The Liberal News Media is running in fear of the choice John McCain has made for his VP. They have mounted an all out campaign to attack this women that has more executive experience than either Democratic candidate.

The strategy is to discredit the McCain campaign with rumor and misdirection with a number of falsehoods thrown in for good measure. I have noted a few examples of how dirty these proclaimed journalist really are.

CNN’s John Roberts quickly suggested she might be a crummy mother: “There's also this issue that on April 18th, she gave birth to a baby with Downs syndrome....Children with Downs syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of Vice President, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?”

August 23rd, MSNBC aired 47 positive statements about Obama's running mate. The network aired just 4 about Sara Palin when she was announced August 29th, making it 12 times more likely to praise Biden than Palin.

Particularly notable in the negativity department for CNN was Campbell Brown who repeatedly slammed Palin, making a point to question her experience as she did just after 8pm on August 29th. Brown continued her negativity this week, getting into a verbal spat with GOP strategist Tucker Bounds which was so notable, it caught the attention of McCain himself who canceled the interview with Brown's CNN colleague Larry King over the incident.

It appears the Liberal Media are in the Tank with Obama drinking thier fill of Obama Kool-Aid.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words, Who Shows Respect for Our National Anthem?

United States Code, 36 USC Sec. 301, states that during the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner" (United States National Anthem) when the flag is displayed, everyone except those in uniform should stand at attention while facing the flag with their right hand over their heart.

If the flag is not displayed, people in attendance should face the music and respond as if the flag were present

A  Second Amendment Advocate

The choice of Gov. Palin will not only entice women voters to the McCain ticket, but will bring a few other segments.

The veterans when they get to know her will find someone with an abiding love for this country and true support for the men and women that serve in the military.  Her eldest son Track Palin is serving in a "Striker" Brigade in Iraq as of last September. Governor Palin has visited the wounded in Germany, after a trip to the middle east in 2007.  It might be added Obama to this day has not visited the wounded in Germany.

Oh,  what a friend the sportsman and 2nd amendment advocate have in Sarah Palin.  She will automatically spark a fire in the heart of the Oklahoma Bass fisherman and the Colorado Elk hunter and the other hunters and fishermen nation wide; Sarah Palin has those hunting and fishing experience we all have had and have smiled or sheigh over. Did I mention she is a Lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, with her and John's ticket we won't have to bury our guns.

Sarah Palin the scrappy in your face, girl next door, one of the guys, no nonsense administrator, Pro-Life, Pro -family, Pro- American, Pro-Gun Rights,Pro-Military and Chief administrator of the State of Alaska. Conservatives  should be celebrating this choice as a stroke of genius.

This choice by McCain will drive MSNBC and all the other Networks and media outlets in the Obama Tank up a wall.  So much for the Great Ones speech to part the seas, I doubt anyone remembers what he said last night.

Acceptance Speech in the Temple Obama

Roman marble, columns with a look between early Greek  and late Rock Star. All the pomp and ceremony as Nancy Pelosi refers "God sent Omaba to us", I fear they have all been mesmerized and share in the Schizophrenia of Obama's delusions of grandeur.

We are witnessing  an event of colossal showmanship and prestidigiation in order to fool the American people into believing in fairy tails told by a skilled orator.

The message of Obama is Change , but one that must rely on Sleight of hand and miss direction to inform the public, which is numbed by the Sound and Light show into mistaking the deep bass for a tingling feeling left by the message.

The acceptance speech will bring back those "Berlin Moments" as he proclaimed his citizenship of the World and apologizing for America and Americans.

I'm sorry, Americans don't need to apologize to the world and Obama doesn't need to be President.

Obama Kool-Aid Effects Rational Judgement

The effects of Obama Kool-Aid can be determined by the drinkers disregarding of facts concerning Obama, such as some of the following.

Obama has controversial socialist connections. He is, in fact, an associate of a Chicago-based Marxist group with access to millions of labor union dollars and connections to expert political consultants, including a convicted swindler.

Obama's socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the "champions" of "Chicago's democratic left" and a long-time socialist activist. Obama's stint as a "community organizer" in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his relationship with the DSA socialists, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored by the Media.

DSA describes itself as the largest socialist organization in the United States and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. The Socialist International (SI) has what is called "consultative status" with the United Nations. In other words, it works hand-in-glove with the world body.

Obama has further difficulties over his relationship with William Ayers, a professor of education at the University of Illinois and former member of the Weather Underground, a left wing terrorist group that planted bombs in the Capitol and the Pentagon in the 1970s.

Ayers told The New York Times on the day of the September 11 attacks: “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” Ayers served with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund, an antipoverty group, from 1999 to 2002, and donated $200 towards his Illinois state Senate campaign in 2001.

Then Obama had his pseudo father and son relationship with Frank Marshall Davis a confirmed member of the Communist Party of the USA.  Obama in his book described Frank Davis as his mentor and advisor in his career paths.

So, if you find youself with a numb brain and shallow thoughts when the word Obama is said, you could be a victim of the Kool-Aid.

Someone that doesn't question Obama's Judgment and Character must have drank from the Kool-Aid pitcher.

Republicans Rebel Against Adjournment; Pelosi Turns Out Lights

by John Gizzi

As the House floor filled up this afternoon and Republican lawmakers emerged to air their complaints about Speaker Pelosi with reporters, one key player in the GOP uprising told me he had reached the White House and told a top aide to urge the President to call Congress back into session.

Rep. Mike Pence (R.Ind.), who joined with fellow conservative Republican Reps. John Shadegg (Ariz.) and Ted Poe (Tex.) to keep the House open this afternoon, said that the President was out of town. However, the Hoosier lawmaker quickly added that “I spoke with a key aide and made it clear he should urge the President to call Congress back and deal with the energy crisis.” Pence would not say who the aide was, but noted that the response to his admonition was “very positive.”

The Republican House members I spoke to today were defying Speaker Pelosi over adjournment without the traditional five-minute speeches that accompanies a closing day in the House. Almost to a person, they seconded the views of Shadegg, Pence, and other conservative swashbucklers that the speaker’s unusual tactic of trying to rush adjournment while shutting down floor microphones and CSPAN cameras was a way of avoiding fiery GOP orations about a “do-nothing” Congress on energy exploration.

The same lawmakers said they agreed with Pence that the President should call Congress back from its five-week respite to deal with the energy crisis. Rep. Wally Herger (R.-CA) told me outside the House floor that “We’re doing everything we can” to get President Bush to bring Congress back. As to the White House’s attitude on making this rare-but-constitutional step, Herger said, “I’d say that right now, it’s rising on his [Bush’s] agenda.”

Rep. Don Manzullo (R.Ill.) told me he would be willing to come back even though his August schedule is “packed.. . .I even have a trip to Alaska to see ANWR.”

Rep. John Carter (R.Tex.) said that the message of the angry lawmakers who kept speaking and refusing to adjourn was “the spontaneity—we all showed up on the floor [and said] ‘Give us our country back.’”

Perhaps the happiest lawmaker I spoke to today was Rep. Thad McCotter (R.-Mich.), who has long urged Republican to capture traditional conservative theory and unite with strong tactics based on issues. Using the language of the rock ‘n’roll guitarist that he sometimes is, McCotter described the day’s remarkable events as “Republican riff on Yippie Street Theater on Pelosi.”

Possibly the happiest lawmaker I spoke to today.

On what was expected to be a day of routine business and adjournment for the next five weeks, the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives suddenly became Washington’s equivalent of a barroom brawl. As Speaker Nancy Pelosi attempted repeatedly to shut down lawmakers from making the five-minute speeches that traditionally mark the closing of a House session. Angry conservatives on the Republican side rebelled, turned on microphones that the speaker had shut off, and kept the House press gallery in operation as more and more reporters came by to see what on earth was happening.

This was war, all right. And as Rep. John Shadegg of Arizona, one of the leaders of the Republican revolt told me, “The speaker wouldn’t let us have the five-minute speeches because she didn’t want the day dominated on the floor by speeches pointing out she has not allowed a vote on a single measure to permit greater oil exploration for the past two months. This is our answer to the Orange Revolution and our modern day Boston tea party.”

The first shot of the revolution was fired a few hours ago, as Republicans prepared to commence their five minute addresses that would decry the lack of any votes on meaningful energy legislation. From the Democratic side, a motion to adjourn for the day shot up. Then CSPAN, which covers House proceedings on television, was shut down. The microphones on the House floor were turned off.

Led by Rep. Tom Price (R.-GA), Republicans decided they weren’t going to take it -- they would stay and fight. As the camera lights were shutting down, Price, Shadegg, Indiana Rep. Mike Pence and other conservative “young Turks” began delivering their speeches on the floor without microphones. The sparsely-filled visitors galleries that overlook the floor began to fill up and the ranks of reporters in the Press Gallery began to swell from the two or three newsmen who were there for what they thought was a routine closing day.

By 2:00 PM, in what resembled newsreels of the packed House floor on the day war was declared in December of 1941, the House floor was almost full. More than 400 visitors were in the gallery and Shadegg, having figured out the code on the panel that controls the microphones, put the sound system in the House back on -- until a staffer (presumably from the speaker’s office) came and shut it off again.

“Word spread that the speaker -- who was never actually here on the floor -- was going to shut down the House press gallery,” a breathless Shadegg told me in a call from the floor, “But rules are clear that the gallery can’t be shut down if a Member is there. So a bunch of us have been taking turns -- we’re ‘human shields,’ keeping the press gallery going.” Along with Shadegg, the ‘human shields’ included House GOP Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.), and Texas Reps. Ted Poe and John Carter.

“You cannot repress free speech, Madame Speaker,” declared Shadegg, adding that the intense protest to keep the floor and press gallery alive were critical because “every day without oil production, the American people are hurt. It destroys the lives of the poorest Americans, those with the oldest cars, the worst mileage, and sometimes the longest commutes. That’s the point we are making.”

Obama Mentor Acknowledged Communist

What about Obama's secret political life? It turns out that Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist.  Again another Radical Political Mentor in Obama's life, which explains his socialist tendencies at every turn. In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a "hard-core academic Marxist,"

Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank."   Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA (Communist Party of the USA) member.

The current Communist Party USA has acknowledged Obama's Mentor as a member of the CPUSA. "The party has found a connection to Democratic Golden Boy and  Presidential Hopeful Sen. Barack Obama." through his Mentor in his autobiography "Frank" Frank Marshall Davis a CPUSA member.

At its quarterly national committee meeting this past weekend, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) called for a landslide in the November 4th elections to defeat John McCain and strengthening the Democratic Party majorities in Congress. After years in the wilderness, the Communist Party USA is giving itself a public relations and ideological makeover, and, with its new $1 million office, hopes to be running the US within 50 years. The question, Is Obama part of this fifty year plan?

The following was information from Barack Obama's book "Dreams From My Father" and the Communist Party of the United States. Judge for yourself if Obama raises a "RED FLAG" in this election.

VOTERS AFFRAID OF OBAMA

Democrat Barack Obama, the first black candidate with a shot at winning the White House, says John McCain and his Republican allies will try to scare them by saying :

"You know, he's not patriotic enough, he's got a funny name, you know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

So what they’re saying is ‘well, we know we’re not very good but you can’t risk electing Obama. You know, he’s new, "They know that you’re not real happy with them. And so the only way they figure they’re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me,"

McCain has not raised Obama's race as an issue in the campaign, though he has said that Obama lacks experience. It appears the only campaign to inject a Race Card is the Obama Camp.

The Democratic Vision For America

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will block Republican attempts to lift the moratorium on offshore energy exploration because, "I'm trying to save the planet."  Pelosi : "I have always loved longitude. I love latitude; it's in the stars. But longitude, it's about time... time and clocks and all the rest of that have always been a fascination for me." One reporter referred to Pelosi as "Nancy the Navigator" it should be "Nancy The Nut".

If she allows a vote in the house it will make Obama look bad, because the Democrats are taking heat from thier constituents to vote and lift the moratorium. So, the Democratic leaders  put Politics ahead of helping reduce the pain at the pumps. So, the image above is the vision the Democrats have for America.

Do You Give Your Children Birthday Gifts?

Apparently the Obama's are on the cheap side of the Gift giving scale as revealed in a recent interview by "People Magazine".

The Following is the transcript of the birthday question.

Michelle: No, because we spend hundreds of dollars on a birthday party and movie tickets and pizza and popcorn ...

Barack: That sleepover is enough. We want to teach some limits to them. And their friends bring over presents.

I guess the limits the Obama's want to impress on thier children is "Let Other Than Family Give You Things". Is this the way a U.S. Senator Should feel.  So, Michelle will say: Barry if you need a new car, let the taxpayers give it to you. (Knuckle Tap Barack & Michelle).
