BRAVO!  F-ing BRAVO!!

		<description>At this time I do not feel it is appropriate to attack other Republicans. But for John McCain I can always make an exception. I may be in a minority here but I have to lay the blame for bringing the socialist revolution to fruition, the election of Obama and the decreased GOP numbers in Congress to McCain than the 3 Stooges, Collins, Snowe and Spector.

Now you anti-Palin haters will say I am being a hypocrite for not including Sarah in my condemnation.

Yes, I am a strong Sarah Palin supporter, but let me show you where McCain stood alone.

 First, at the convention Sarah went on the attack and exposed Obama for who he really is and where he wanted to take America while McCain, against Rush Limbaugh&#039;s best advice, in his speech bent over backwards to invoke bipartisanship and a diplomatic tenor and in so doing did not follow up to further expose Obama for the socialist that he really is.

Secondly, McCain voted for the bailout package; word I have heard is that Palin did not go along with this decision but had to stand behind it to provide solidarity to the ticket. Many political pundits blame the financial meltdown in general for McCain&#039;s demise but a good number also stated that McCain could have blunted the criticism of the GOP by millions of Americans if he had voted against the bailout.


Third, in response to a woman&#039;s question at a townhall meeting to Obama&#039;s credentials, McCain went out of his way to defend Obama and his ability to lead the country, basically legitimizing him to the American people as a &#039;good American&#039; 


And finally while Sarah Palin was more than willing to accuse Obama of being a socialist and &#039;palling around with an unrepeentant terrorist&#039; McCain talked more about the abolition of earmarks and that &#039;he was not all that concerned about the musings or activities of a &#039;washed up former terrorist&#039;. (By the way Ayres apeculated in a Weather underground meeting that 25m Americans would have to be purged to stem the counter-revolution and to solidify the revolution after it took power)


That Sarah Palin has increased her support among Republicans as we move towards 2010 and 2012 is truly remarkable considering McCain went out of his way to hand Obama the Presidency by not denouncing Wright, ACORN, or Obama&#039; socialist background. Probably he was afraid of being accused of being a fearmonger. But Senator McCain when the fear is real, you owed it to the American people to expose Obama&#039;s agenda fully as John Gunther did in the 1930&#039;s to expose the evil machinations of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. Senator McCain, that you failed to do so is what I will remember about you: how you sold out America, and not being a POW who spent 5 and 1/2 years a prisoner who underwent torture.

I am sorry to say this but Senator McCain I am really angry at you right now. Your vehement opposition to the stimulus bill presently is an example of &#039;too little, too late. Where were you in September and October and early Novemeber 2008?</description>

		<description>Over the weekend, I have to the conclude that the majority of Americans only see the stimulus package as a bad horror movie that one can forget after 2 hours rather than a nagging toothache that continues to worsen as the pain becomes more intense and your other teeth and gums also become gradually infected. 

Otherwise why are millions of ordinary Americans not marching on Washington at this very moment to demand that Collins, Snowe, and Spector remember which party they represent and with that the values that the party represents.</description>

		<description>To the president
Dear sir:
I didn&#039;t vote for you exactly because
I knew you would do this.

You said it all along
You would free the &quot;Wrongly imprisioned&quot; meaning islamic terrorists

You could give free health care to all (except rich whites whom you will give the royal shaft) 

You said you would be in favor of income re-distribution
meaning STEALING from anyone who makes more than your 42,000 dollar per year figure and give that money to every poor person in the world..

I did notice thought
that NONE of the rich liberals 
EVER give their money away NO ...
Ever allow any other opinion that differs from their own liberal communist view

So sir when you get ready to outlaw guns and arrest all those who stand against you

Go ahead make my day..

Until then i am clinging to 
My God and My guns..

Because i know you vile vermin in our government would turn us all over to your new masters the islamic terrorists for judgment..

So I dont care what you say
your a traitor period..
To this great nation...</description>

		<description>Very few people want to ask this question. At what point do millions of Americans throw their hands up in the air and say &#039;enough is enough&#039; and mobilize and you know do what? I am now asking the question.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why do you suppose that is, President Dumbo? If you owned a business with declining sales and profitability and a socialist congress and President, wouldn’t you be laying off labor like there was no tomorrow?

Filthy bastard would never own a business.  That takes commitment, hard work, and talent.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Mr. Obama called Ms. Collins and Mr. Specter, as well as Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, another Republican expected to support the deal, to acknowledge they were acting against pressure from their party and, one official said, to thank them for their patriotism in helping advance the bill at a critical time.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Are we living in &lt;em&gt;1984&lt;/em&gt;?  Just three months ago, it was cool and patriotic to question our leaders.  Now it is patriotic to unquestioningly pass whatever the filthy bastard in the White House wants!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The Republican party (starting with Steele on down) should do whatever it takes to ensure that these three go down in flames the next time they are up for election. They should not be allowed to continue to call themselves Republicans. All three of them are an absolute disgrace!

SimplyKimberly on February 7, 2009 at 1:01 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Bush Republican party kept Specter alive because he is a useful tool. He was needed in position for the amnesty bill et al. The question is, although Steele has taken the figurehead post, are the same guys running the GOP because Specter represents their politics. 

The GOP needs conservative votes to win any offices but the politics at the top of the party has been pure Specter. The party has run a good cop/bad cop game on its voters for many cycles now. 

The many well positioned talking heads are still talking Bush talk when they castigate conservative voters for scaring the other fish (moderates and Hispanics) they need for the RINO party. Are these talking heads just driftwood from a ship wreck or do they represent a surviving kernel of Specterheads still in charge?

The three amoebas are embryonic stem cells to the RINO. To me they are bacterial proof of systemic infection</description>

Repeat after me

THIS IS NOT A CRISIS
THIS IS NOT A CRISIS
THIS IS NOT A CRISIS

rockmom on February 8, 2009 at 10:45 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
This is more profound that some people might realize. This concept of crisis is going to be the Trojan horse to enact all kinds of &quot;change&quot; while bi-passing the traditional legislative process (speeding things through in the dark of the night and weekends without enough time for anyone to realize what the change actually is). 
We must ridicule this idea of &quot;crisis&quot; at every opportunity or might find ourselves with some irreversible changes, such as the current take-over of the private sector economy, universal health care and even the abolition of the 22nd amendment, which could only happen under the auspices of an &quot;unprecedented national crisis&quot;</description>
