Lead By Example, Or Shut Up!
There is little chance that the three liberals running for president along with the other notable morons that preach the gospel of liberalism from their various pulpits will succumb to common sense and allow for the limited self-government our founding fathers intended. Perhaps it is not too much to ask that if they would lead, they do so by example. Demonstrated leadership would at least give these egomaniacs a shot (albeit a long one ) at credibility on their pet issues.
The Republican candidates inappropriately named “Straight Talk Express” must not have stopped to pick up his wife’s tax returns. Cindy McCain “will never” release her tax returns as a matter of privacy. Apparently face lifts can squeeze the brain if Mrs. McAmnesty doesn’t think the candidate’s financial situation is open for consideration. Does she actually believe that Teresa Heinz-Kerry is the ideal role model for potential first ladies? Call me crazy, but I believe it is important to know where a presidential candidate gets his money. McCain is the self-appointed model of propriety and believes money and influence should be removed from all politics. He went so far as to restrict the free speech of individual citizens by way of McCain-Feingold for the supposed purpose of preventing huge campaign contributions and expected favors in return. I contend that a motivating factor in the travesty known as McCain-Feingold was the hope that if all voices other than the media were restricted, the media’s favorite “maverick” could finally attain the object of his lust, the Republican nomination. The legislation has served its purpose, can we repeal it now? How about a little transparency Senator? Or is that one of those “do as I say, not as I do” items? The fact that the McAmnesty’s have always filed separate tax returns means absolutely nothing unless we are so stupid as to believe that the senator has lived off and only benefited from his own money! What kind of marriage is theirs? Do they live in separate houses, Cindy in one paid for by her, and John in one paid for by him? Is Senator McCain a kept man? The point is that Cindy McCain’s income and donations could indeed influence Senator or President McCain’s decisions and therefore should be open to scrutiny!
Yesterday’s Washington Post trumpeted: “McCain Pushed Land Swap That Benefits Backer” and well they should. If McCain had any influence at all over the land swap that benefits one of his large supporters, his hypocrisy should be vetted. This is Mr. Clean, after all. This is the man who claimed his own weakness toward temptation inspired him to assume everyone lacked the character to respect his or her position of power, and thus we were sentenced with McCain-Feingold (giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming that its complete purpose wasn’t to assure his eventual nomination.) There is no reason or room for favors to donors by any public official, period!
Does LaRaza know that McAmnesty got the message on the border? Is that what he will address when he speaks to “The Race” later this year? He has been slipping “comprehensive immigration reform” back into statements and interviews lately, which only makes sense… since he has secured the nomination and can be at least a little more honest. Who believed that he would ever secure the border and not revive McCain-Kennedy? I think it was P.T. Barnum that indicated that one of you was born every minute.
This unusually cool May seems like a good time for McCain to plan a Global Warming campaign tour. I assume Senator McCain’s tour will be on an emissions-free bus? No, well I assume, at least he will not use electricity to magnify his voice. No? Well then, is he going to just solicit more donations from the base he detests in order to purchase offsets from Al Gore?
I continue to search for enough reasons to support McCain as the lesser of two evils, for that is the best case scenario at this point. Senator McCain continues to prove that the differences between him and his opponent are too minimal for comfort. So I humbly request that the campaign finance reform poster boy conductor of “The Double Talk Express” lead by example or shut the hell up!
I focused more on McCain than I originally intended, but he continues to apply the type of pressure that seems intended to break, or at least beat conservatives into submission. I also cling to the hope that The Republican nominee would at least be reasonable, thus the disappointment is magnified. Now to discuss the admitted Democrats, from whom no reasonable person expects anything reasonable.
Hillary Clinton wants to confiscate the “windfall profits” of the oil companies. (I was under the impression that the dollar wasn’t worth much these days, and if that is the case then the profits aren’t worth as much as the numbers would indicate if the dollar had value.) The oil companies are making a profit. Would they continue to supply oil if they were not allowed to profit? Unless Hillary “Chavez” Clinton intends to nationalize the oil companies and restrict supply, the answer is no. When Shillary screeches her artificial populist rhetoric, does she mention the $109 million she and Monica’s rapist boyfriend have made since releasing The White House from their clutches? The services of The Shrew and The Perjuring Rapist must be valuable indeed if none of that $109 million was profit! I’d ask Hillary to lead by example or shut the hell up, but Tuesday’s narrow victory in The Indiana Primary may have rendered her inconsequential and finally suffocated her air of inevitability.
Barack Obama, champion of wine and cheese tasters was recorded lamenting the fact that ordinary people don’t support him. In what could be described as a rare moment of “straight talk,” Barry O enlightened his upper crust supporters to the fact that, in his opinion the little people were bitter which would explain their clinging to “guns and religion.” The statement demonstrates the superficial quality of Barry’s “Christianity,” a religion he apparently uses for appearances and vote solicitation. This would explain how he could be so supposedly blissfully ignorant of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s radical orations. When Barack was in church, and assuming he saw no camera around, he probably put in his ear buds and read a little Marx to soothe his soul. His statement made it clear that religion is something hopeless people cling to because their lives are so miserable and worthless.
Barry holds his nose in the air at the thought that American citizens exercise 2nd amendment guaranteed rights to bear arms. Again this is something to which miserable commoners “cling.” Odd that he seems to be content with the notion of bombing The Pentagon, The Capitol, and police buildings to protest our own government. In fact, former domestic terrorist and member of The Weather Underground, Bill Ayers is just an English Professor at UIC in Barry O’s humble opinion. Sure they sat on a board together, and yes they gave a couple of speeches together, but what does that matter? Ignore the fact that in order to launch his campaign for The Illinois Senate in seedy Chicago politics style, Barry O had to appear at the home of Bill Ayers and his equally repulsive wife Bernadine Dohrn to seek their stamp of approval. One gets the impression that these terrorists are like royalty in Chicago politics and must knight any Democrat that hopes to succeed! The parents that pay tuition to UIC should probably be very concerned about the quality and substance of their children’s education.
Barry has one magic trick that he expects to play over and over to avoid the remote possibility that he might be expected to engage in the obviously beneath him activity of discussing issues, policy, and detailed solutions. This is actually a card trick, the Race card” to be precise. You may recall that he also told his elite San Fransicko supporters that the little white people have “antipathy for people who are different from them.” They are racist if they don’t support the candidate of “change,” who transcends race.
Maybe thoughtful commoners just recoil at the notion of supporting the most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate and one of the most despicable supporters of the most gruesome late term abortion practices in public office. From The Illinois Federation For Right to Life:
Democrats won control of the state Senate in November 2002, and when Born Alive was reintroduced for the third time in 2003, it was directed to the Obama-chaired, infamously liberal Health and Human Services Committee, where he simply refused to call it for a vote.
By this time Obama was running for U.S. Senate. He won his primary in March 2004, and Republicans recruited former U.N. Ambassador Alan Keyes, who lived in Maryland, to oppose him. It was Obama’s position against Born Alive that persuaded Keyes to run, as he stated in his announcement speech:
“When I was first approached about this possibility… I have to say that my reaction was negative…. What finally caught my eye, however… what finally arrested my attention and forced me to consider whether I not only had the opportunity to oppose him, but the obligation… was when I learned that (Obama) had actually, in April 2002, apparently cast a vote that would continue to allow live birth abortions in the state of Illinois … .
“We are talking about a situation in which, in the course of an abortion procedure, a child has been born alive — is out of the womb, breathing and living on its own — and he cast a vote against the idea that we should not stand by and let that child die!”
Obama’s cavalier attitude toward the unborn should come as no surprise to those that heard him refer to a potential grandchild of his as a punishment to his daughter should she make a mistake and find herself pregnant.For the sake of our children and our liberty, Barry please lead by example, or better yet, shut the hell up!
