Liberals Are Still Celebrating...But Where Is Their PLAN????

It's almost a relief (almost) to have a chance to sit back for a change and be the Monday morning quarterbacks on the liberal's sweeping CHANGE that they are going to implement now that they have finally won back Congress...

Oh, did I say "PLAN"?? Did they say "CHANGE"??

Okay...show me...

Show me how you are going to "CHANGE" things...

Your theme this election was "It's time for a "CHANGE""...

And now...it is time for you to reveal what "PLAN" you have for "CHANGE"...

During the entire campaign we heard you tell us that you were confident that the American people were ready for "CHANGE"...and you sold that to the bulk of uninformed voters that make a decision based on a sound bite...those same people that are more worried about who won on the latest round of Dancing with the Stars or America's Next Model...

It might sound like this is sour grapes, but it isn't...really...

I'm just curious...and I am going to be asking this question again and again and again because I want to know...

WHAT IS THE PLAN DEMOCRATS???

Foley Was No Accident...

you can bet your bottom dollar that the Scheming Left timed this...PRECISELY...EXPLOITIVELY...and with what they think is deadly timing...only problem is...we see them for who they are

had a chance last night to watch a little of C-Span's 2006 Midterm ElectionsAmerican UniversityWashington, District of Columbia (United States)

ya, I know...C-Span makes you want to gouge your eyes out with salad forks...but, sometimes it's necessary to join in the fun over there...

Liberals are speaking 'hopeful' messages..."we got them where we want them"...stuff like that...but...but...you can see it in their eyes...

THEY KNOW

They know that we're on to them...have them figured out...and it's not just us politico types, it's John Q. Average Citizen...

I mean, they keep spewing hatred about President Bush (as I write this there are protesters in downtown Phoenix with death-wish placards for our President...)...but - this country isn't in the dire straights the libs would have you believe...

One of the speakers last night was giving talking points of sorts...Amy Walter, Senior Editor, [Cook Political Report]....she made it very clear that when talking to conservatives they needed to gin up the ANGER...(I am paraphrasing here: 'Don't let them talk about what's working, focus on what's NOT!')

Thomas E. Mann, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution, Governance Studies, specifically referred to TIMING: the Foley incident...the release of Bob Woodward's latest fictional piece...there were more but can't remember them at the moment...but, the point is...this is all part of their plan...

Oddly enough, many people claim that the liberals don't have a plan...John "I have a Plan" Kerry would differ...but for the most part people look at the dems as 'planless' pathos...

I beg to differ...they do have a plan...and it is a HUGE PLAN...only problem is, it's not the one that we are looking to them for...

We are looking to the libs for a plan to make this country better...to make our lives better...to make the world better...

And, unfortunately, as of today, the only plan that I have been able to discover in their unorganized, angry, disillusioned camp is this...their plan is simple...and it is focused...and it has one objective...ONE: Get The Liberals Back In Power

That's it...that's all...and that, my friends, is pathetic...

Senate to Consider Border Fence Bill

USA Today reports: "Border security is the essential first step of any effort to enact immigration reform. Only when we have convinced the American people of our commitment to securing our borders will we be able reach a consensus on comprehensive immigration reform," Frist said in a statement.

Does this mean that they finally get it?? Or is this an election year maneuver...

Democrats are likely to try to block the bill. They may try to attach the comprehensive immigration bill the Senate passed in May as an amendment and push debate into next week. A delay could be a problem as Congress tries to wrestle with legislation addressing treatment of terrorism suspects.

OF COURSE the libs are going to try to defeat it and/or block it!

Truthfully, I don't really care what reasoning it took to get our legislators to this point...I am just glad to see them finally....FINALLY...willing to do something about this crisis...living in a border state has made me aware of the issues long ago, but I know that ya'll are feeling the effects of it now, too...

REBOUND: President's Approval Ratings

WASHINGTON - President Bush's approval rating has rebounded to 44 percent, the highest level in a year, in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the newspaper reported today.
Bush's approval rating jumped five points from 39 percent in the previous poll conducted earlier this month....


and "they said" it couldn't be done....

Desert Rat is Baaaaack!

After an almost 8 month hiatus, I have decided to rejoin the political scene...gah!

But, this was something I just could not pass up...

Yesterday Len Munsil, Republican candidate for governor of Arizona, won the primary election to run against incumbent Democrat governor Janet Napolitano....the fur is flying already.

In an article on the outcome the Arizona Republic referred to Munsil repeatedly as a social conservative...

Horror of Horrors! a Social Conservative!!! as if that's a dirty word...

Munsil called Napolitano "out of step with Arizona."

Okay, I can agree with that...but the reaction from Napolitano's minion was a preview of what we can expect in the upcoming weeks:

Barry Dill, a Napolitano campaign consultant, responded in kind.

"Over the next eight weeks, we are confident that Len Munsil will be exposed for the inexperienced, out-of-the-mainstream zealot that he truly is," Dill said. (my emphasis)

The absentee ballots haven't even been tallied yet and already they're going for the jugular...HA!

Inexperienced you say?! (according to Munsil's website he is a Reagan conservative who has spent the past two decades effectively advancing core Republican principles...)

out-of-the-mainstream zealot??!! Munsil speaks to the issues as I understand them, and I daresay many more Arizona residents agree.

As the article concluded, "and the race begins"...and it HAS!

I, for one, am going to work to defeat Janet Napolitano.

Munsil says it best:

Janet Napolitano very well represents the core values of the mainstream media. She does not represent the core values of the people of Arizona.

She has ignored border security for four years and presided over the nation’s worst crime rate. Despite asking for and receiving massive amounts of new funding, she has failed to improve education or reform CPS. She takes credit for a massive budget surplus that came about only because we ignored all of her economic proposals. She is against the Protect Marriage Arizona Amendment and is a supporter of taxpayer-funded abortion on demand.

After a much needed break from this scene, it's good to be back...

Write to Your Congressman TODAY

I have taken a form letter from a liberal-anti-Alito website and made some changes...

You can cut and paste - and send THIS email to your Congressman today...

Judge Alito needs your support:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear _____________(your congressman - write to all of them)

I'm writing to strongly SUPPORT Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court, and ask that you SUPPORT his nomination when it comes before you.

Judge Alito DOES represent the mainstream of American thinking and American society. His prior written record plainly shows that he's a "strict constructionist;" his constructionist judicial values are plain for all to see. It is a shame that liberals feel compelled to argue that Judge Alito will be replacing Sandra Day O'Connor, VALUE FOR VALUE, when precedent states the opposite. Ruth Bader-Ginsberg is a perfect example.

For example, Judge Alito:

- has shown a definition of Presidential power that is defined in the Constitution. He is among the chief proponents of the idea that a "presidential signing statement" carries equal weight with Congress' legislative intent in the courts -- an approach to the law clearly COMPATIBLE with the separation of powers as laid out in our Constitution. His arguments that the Attorney General should be given legal immunity for wiretapping enemies of this country during a time of war are on the mark.

- Liberals argue about his "clear intent to overturn abortion rights" and the Roe v. Wade precedent on which they are based. When a party bases their opposition to an appointment of a judge on one issue, the focus shifts to them rather than on the qualifications of the candidate.

- Liberals argue that Judge Alito broke his written promise to the Senate and -- "shockingly" -- failed to recuse himself in a 2003 case involving the mutual fund company Vanguard, in which he held an investment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, when - IN FACT - the argument was clearly made that that law was written for judges that have CONTROL OVER THE DECISION-MAKING-PROCESS WITHIN A COMPANY, which HE DID NOT.

Again, I ask that you vote YES on Mr. Alito's nomination and OBJECT TO the use of a filibuster, if necessary, in liberal's attempts to stop him. Your vote on this issue is of the utmost importance to me and the majority of Americans who do not want to see their rights so grossly misrepresented by liberals. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

(your name, address and email)

take a moment, cut and paste...do it now...

Time's a-wasting...

Oh, And Just One More Thought...

...before I call it a day...

These Democrat Senators are a joke...

They complain to high heaven that Judge Alito "...isn't answering our questions..."

Yet, when the senators get their time what do they do?

THEY talk...and they talk...and they talk...AND THEY TALK!

And all of a sudden, they seem to notice that there is a clock running...and they say "...well, it seems that I have run out of time..."

or they say "...well, I wanted to get into this...or that..."

And all the while, just how much time did they give Judge Alito to speak?

Not much...and if he does get a chance to speak... they interrupt him...

It is clear to me that they know that Alito is going to get appointed...and the dirty politics that they are playing only magnifies the reason that they lost their power in the first place...

Turns Out That Senator Kennedy is The Pot Calling The Kettle Black: Kennedy Belonged to All-Male Club

The Washington Times Reports:

Conservative activists, meanwhile, were eager to point out that Mr. Kennedy was on shaky ground accusing the nominee of associating with people opposed to the inclusion of women in private institutions.

The eight-term senator belonged to an all-male social club -- the Owl -- at Harvard University. The Owl refused to admit women until it was forced to do so during the 1980s, according to records kept by the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper...

As I have stated before, I believe that Teddy Kennedy is on shaky ground for much deeper...and much more disturbing issues...

The name Mary Jo Kopechne comes readily to mind...

Teddy Kennedy threw an outright hissy fit over the fact that Judge Alito can't remember the minute details about an organization that he belonged to in the 1980's...

And yet...AND YET!

THE MORNING AFTER MARY JO KOPECHNE DROWNED, TED-DY KENNEDY CLAIMED TO HAVE NO RECOLLECTION ABOUT HOW HE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE SUBMERGED CAR AND LEAVE HER BEHIND TO DROWN...

A MAN THAT LEFT A WOMAN TO DROWN PREACHING TO JUDGE ALITO ABOUT MORALITY!

The Abuse Continues...Libs Pontificate...MSM Distorts the Truth While Reporting An "Incident"...

OMIGOD....

I am telling you...a normal human being would not...COULD NOT...withstand the amount of abuse...hour after hour...after hour...after hour...

If you have been following any part of the Alito confirmation "hearing"...and I am using that term loosely...this is not a hearing...it is a roast...it is a smear campaign...it is repugnant...

Samuel Alito is already a sitting judge...he already has a life-time appointment to the Federal courts...and these congressmen are showing their complete ignorance every time they open their mouths...

The Senate committee members come...they go...they doze...they leave again...THEY REST...and all the time, Judge Alito is being grilled...

Talk about abuse!!

This man deserves a Purple Heart just for making it through this torture chamber alive!

And the desperate...the grasping...the Oh-aren't-I-oh-so-clever liberals...piling on...

They plot...they whisper...they trade notes...thinking - I assume - that somewhere...SOMEHOW...they are going to BREAK HIM!

Senator {HIC} Teddah {HIC} Kennedy is grotesque...his bloated face...his condecending and RUDE attitude...one of these days someone should just tell him to SHUT TF UP....his AHA!
and GOTCHA! accusatory attitude...hammering away on...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...

HEY TEDDY! YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT...WE KNOW WHERE YOU HAVE BURIED THE BODIES...

and...let me tell you...

Dana Milken with the Washington Post snickering on C-SPAN over Alito's wife's reaction to the abuse was disgusting...Milken disgraced himself once again tonight by showing his lack of respect towards a sitting Judge...

And, by the way...just to correct the record...Mrs. Alito may have left the room at the time that Senator Lindsay Graham was speaking...but it was NOT his words that caused her emotion...yet, the AP story distorted the facts and leads readers to believe it was BECAUSE of what Graham said that caused her to leave the room...lies...lies...and more lies...

Actually, all of the attacks are disgusting...

These congressmen think they are mini-gods...in fact, some of them indicate that THEY THINK THEY ARE GOD....

The minutia...the mudslinging...the false accusations...the truth-twisting...

All of it...only confirms what we have known all along...

Liberals are losing it...

In fact...They are officially LOST...

THIS Is What I Am Talking About!


"We need driver licenses"...??????

4,000 people gathered outside AZ Governor's State of the State address yesterday...and, like morning talk-show host Barry Young pointed out...they weren't protesting bad treatment in this country...they were protesting the fact that we are going to get tough on illegal immigration...

Oh ya...cross our borders illegally...sneak into our country...and DEMAND driver's licenses!

Hey Wetback: we HAVE a LEGAL immigration process...why don't you follow that????

HT: Barry Young on KFYI

Note: wetback is an old slang word for someone that crosses the border illegally by swimming across the Rio Grande...

Ya...Like THIS Is Gonna Happen...

Mexico Demands U.S. Allow More Immigration

Demands...?

DEMANDS???

WTF???

Diplomats from Mexico and Central America on Monday demanded guest worker programs and the legalization of undocumented migrants in the United States, while criticizing a U.S. proposal for tougher border enforcement....

Let me tell you...from one who lives in a border state...the FLOOD of illegal aliens...oh yes...they are NOT undocumented migrants...they are f(&(&*ing ILLEGAL ALIENS...

The daily influx of these people that are breaking U.S. law has got to be stopped...

Join the Minute Man project today...

Even if you are unable to participate...send your support...so that we can tell the leaders of OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ARE ENCOURAGING THEIR CITIZENS TO BREAK OUR LAWS...

SO WE CAN TELL THEM WHERE TO GO WITH THEIR DEMANDS!!

Double Standard...Double Speak...While Trying to Destroy Alito, Democrats Make Fools Of Themselves Once Again

The double standard that Democrats in the United States Senate live by is simply astounding.

As I listened and watched on C-Span to the pompous, self-grandiose bloviating that went on today, I was shocked that we didn’t observe any of them break an arm as they were patting themselves on the back while smearing a very humble and worthy nominee.

While these mini-gods trashed Alito…while these haughty, pompous, arrogant Democrats threw every insult they could possibly think of…Alito sat there straight-faced (and – perhaps a little in shock?)…

DISGUSTING!

Who do they think they are to insult a man that could run circles around them on ANY intellectual subject??

…with one hand tied behind his back!

Who do they think they are to question his integrity when theirs is apparently meaningless every single day they sit on their ‘thrones’ in DC?

The seat on the Supreme Court that Sandra Day O’Connor is vacating is just that…a vacant seat

There is nothing…NOTHING…in the Constitution that mandates that a liberal judge or a liberal-leaning judge must be replaced with the same…..

Look at Ruth Bader Ginsberg, for heaven’s sake!

Bill Clinton nominated her to replace retiring U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron R. White – a conservative!

Ginsberg got 96 votes – Democrats and Republicans alike…

She was general counsel for the ACLU, for gawd’s sake…

Listen…Samuel Alito WILL BE CONFIRMED AND APPOINTED TO THE SUPREME COURT…

Every time Democrats open their mouths these days, they dig a deeper hole…

Schumer…Durbin…Kennedy…Feinstein…all of them…desperately trying to make a case where there is none…

They can only hope to ever be good enough to shine Alito’s shoes…

Harry Belafonte Promotes Communism...Calls President Bush a "Terrorist"

Just in case you're not sure, or really don't know, here is one definition of socialism:

Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.

The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved....

Harry Belafonte, while on a trip to Venezuela as a UNICEF (U.N.) goodwill ambassador, led a delagation of Americans that met with the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday...

Chavez, who called Jesus Christ the world's first true socialist, is Venezuela's president...on one occasion he used an epithet in referring to US President George W. Bush, and he once suggested US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was illiterate, offering to send her materials to learn how to read and write.

Chavez's barbs are usually aimed at opposition leaders or US officials...

U.S. singer and activist Harry Belafonte called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world" Sunday and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez...."No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush, says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people . . . support your revolution," Belafonte, 78, told Chavez during the broadcast...

Millions?

Millions of the American people support Hugo Chavez' socialist revolution???

I DON'T THINK SO!!!

Harry Belafonte...for all of his performer capabilities...has gone 'round the bend...

And, if HE wants to hang around with communists...if HE wants to hang with America's enemies...well, that's his business...

...but DON'T GO TELLING THE WORLD THAT THE PEOPLE BACK HOME ARE SUPPORTING THEM IN THEIR COMMUNISM EFFORTS, HARRY!

BECAUSE IT JUST AIN'T SO!!

Hey Murtha! Are You Happy NOW?????

The Idiot from Pennsylvania....Rep. John Murtha, D- PA...you know the one...he just can't seem to keep his mouth shut whenever he gets the urge to defile the troops....

The SAME John Murtha that served 37 years in the military....

The SAME John Murtha that said earlier this week that if he were eligible to join the military today he would not, nor would he expect others to join....

Ya, THAT Murtha...

Now....word has gotten to our troops about his UN-supportive attitude....and word is that troop morale - and the morale of their families - has been hurt by the stupidity that resides inside the head of John Murtha...

I can't say that I blame the troops....who WOULDN'T feel bad?

I blame Murtha...I blame the Main Stream Media...and I blame liberals....
