The Clinton Controversy

With both sides of the democratic party going at each others throat, some democratic leaders have called for Clinton to throw in the towel. According to her, however, that's not happening and to be honest she has some basis in the argument. A recent Rasmussen survey states that 22% of the public believes Clinton should drop out of the race, while another 22% believe that Obama should drop out. "62% said let it go on,” Clinton remarked in a personal interview yesterday.

“That is what people are telling me. That is what we have to do. Let the voters have a chance to be heard. Nobody should be writing obituaries on this race, because it is a long way from being over,” Clinton said further. Her plan is to go all the way to the convention which she says is what credential fights are for.

Then you have Florida and Michigan, the thorn in the Democrats side. Clinton continues to spout a firm belief that those delegates should be counted, while Obama firmly disagrees. “Let’s have the Democratic party go on record against seating the Michigan and Florida delegations three months before the general election? I don’t think that will happen. I think they will be seated. So that’s where we’re headed if we don’t get this worked out,” Clinton said.

There lies the rub... While it will be extremely difficult and expensive to hold re-votes in the those two states if something doesn't happen the democrats could be signing their death warrant. Do you honestly think that Michigan voters and Florida voters are going to want to jump on the Obama train if he wins the nomination, after he continually argued against letting their voices be heard? Both states are very important in the general election, especially Florida. If the Dems. don't win Florida odds are they don't win the White House.

Another interesting poll to sum it all up said that according to Clinton supporters if Obama wins the nomination 28% of them will vote for McCain. That's almost one-third! The same poll revealed 19% of Obama supporters would do the same if Clinton won the nomination. The Democrats are in a world of trouble, and I don't see how they can honestly come out ahead.

To Big for its Britches

While I may regularly hark on liberal democrats that's not my only beef. Most people would call me republican. I would not. While i have up to this point, only voted republican I refuse to label myself. Why? The reason is I'm no fool. Any body that shamelessly defends a party no matter the offense is simply that, a fool.

What I am is a staunch conservative, not a Neo-con. I get sick and tired of people arguing against bush and throwing conservatives right in with him. READ THIS: BUSH IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE.

Anyone, who would argue that he is would either be very mis-informed or confused. A Conservative is a strong federalist, who believes in SMALL government. That is what I am.

The basis of a conservative is not the stance of pro-life, and anti-gay marriage. That's a Neo-con. A real conservative goes intellectually into the founding of our government. It was never supposed to be the governments job to oversee so much. Social programs and overspending have crippled the towering giant of the United States of America. Republican's under Reagan understood this but since then they have become just as bad as democrats at throwing money around.

Now we hear economic cries in the streets again, whats the answer? NOT throwing money into peoples hands. can we say- Inflation? The Federal Reserve needs to get reserved. Democrats and Republicans alike need to quit spending so much. We have gotten our selves in a world of trouble being the international humanitarians. Trying to solve poverty, has hurt as well. It is not, nor ever has been the governments job to make poor people- not poor. Don't believe me? Read the Federalist Papers and you will get a world of radical talk...... except the thing is that radical talk is supposed to be the basis of our functioning as a government.

Ever heard of the free Hand? Supply and Demand? Social Security and Medicare going into projected trillions? We must quit taxing business to death and bring them back on U.S. soil. We must quit being a consumer bolstered economy and become a production bolstered economy again. Cut the social spending, cut the pork, and cut the crap.

Obama & a Connection With Terrorists?

An explicit new scandal involving Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has surfaced. Just off the tail spin from the Jeremiah Wright (the racist, black separatist whom Obama has looked up to for 20 years) problem comes a new scandal. The Fact, is however... this time its far more damning then Jeremiah Wrong- I mean Wright.

"A top official at the Pentagon during former-President George H. W. Bush's Administration and a former CIA intelligence officer maintain that Barack Obama and former Weather Underground honcho William Ayers funneled money to Professor Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist sympathizer" (ConservativeVoice.com).

Khalid is the guy who invited Iranian President Ahmedinejad to visit Columbia University. According to the proper sources Khalid is directly tied with the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The PLO is a known terrorist organization as defined by the U.S. State Department.

The connection lies with Bill Ayers, who sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Obama. Mr. Ayers is an active member of the Weather Underground group, which is a radical left-wing group which advocates violence against the U.S., and is responsible for the detonation of a bomb in New York during the 1970's that killed three people. The Weather Underground also participated in bombings of the US Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building.

Ayers who was released because of "government misconduct" wrote in 2001, "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." Mr. Ayers is known to have held a fundraiser for Senator Obama.

The actual scandal took place when Obama was serving his last year on the Woods Fund board where he and Mr. Ayers participated in awarding grants including a $70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-based group founded by Rashid Khalidi. Rashid Khalidi also held a fundraising event in his home for Barack Obama. Now recall that Mr. Khalid is tied with a known terrorist group and the lines between bad judgment and bad guy begin to get pretty blurry for Barack Obama.

When Kahlid left Chicago for Columbia University A party was thrown for him and among the attendees were both Barack Obama and Mr. Ayers, furthermore, Ayers and Obama both gave testimonials praising Khalid.

Can Barack explain his friendship with men who claim responsibility for U.S. bombings? Can he explain his friendship with Arab leaders who are directly tied with terrorist organizations? Not to mention, his Friend Rezko(Donated 85,000 to Obama) who now faces criminal charges for corruption in Chicago. Their is no way a man who is either so naive or so corrupt should ever lead the United States.

He yells for change... but not all change is good.

Down Right Wrong Democrats.

5 days ago the House passed a new surveillance Bill by a close vote (213-197). The problem is, the Bill is far and away from a decent one. The matter is, however, the Dems. know it. The Bill features many added and deducted amendments to the Senates Bill and is rifled with partisan politics. In reality, that's nothing new.

The key issue is, however, the Bill does not contain a measure granting retroactive immunity to the telecoms for their participation in the warrant less surveillance program. Well that doesn't sound too bad right? I mean we always want to go stick it to the big company don't we? Just looking out for the little man.....are we Mrs. Pelosi?

In fact this is not the case at all, and is an example of extremely crude politics. If retroactive immunity doesn't get passed let me explain what that means. After 9/11 the U.S. government with Bills such as the Patriot Act and so on, really beefed up security and surveillance of suspected terrorists. Now, at the time these measures were passed (with ease) they came under very little criticism. What the Government did is went to phone companies and asked for records for potential and suspected terrorists.

Now remember at this time everybody and their mama has a U.S. flag somewhere? Well, to the phone companies it looked like the patriotic thing to do, and a good stand with the government to combat terrorism. Stop- now fast forward to 2008.

The mood has changed, the country is hardly united, and the Dems. hate Bush. Today, these phone companies are being sued by over 40 civil lawsuits for simply doing what the government asked them to do. How is that right? Its 100% scandalous. The Democrats know it too, but they don't care. Why? Simple, it would be their dream come true to have these phone companies that co-operated with the government sued and in the process find something to try and demonize the Bush administration.

This isn't about big or small government to the Dems. Its about getting a shot in at Bush, and for all they care the phone companies can take a hit if it'll accomplish their partisan goals. That's disgusting politics, at it's worse.

A Forlorn Father of Faith: Obama & Jeremiah Wright

Faith and Barack Obama, It's been a big issue. The initial argument was whether or not Obama was a practising Muslim, however that has since simmered down and his relationship with his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright has come under scrutiny. You can't watch the news right now and not hear a little about Obama's mentor of faith, Jeremiah Wright. So who is he? and whys it matter?

Jeremiah Wright, is the former pastor of an African-American mega church, Trinity United Church of Christ, in Chicago. Since then he's been extremely controversial. He married, Obama and his wife, and it is from one of his sermons that Obama named his book, The Audacity of Hope. The question that arises is, though, at what point do you draw the line between the two men?

Jeremiah Wright, is often accused as a black separatist, a title he vehemently denies. However, while on Fox News in a personal Interview with Sean Hannity, the Reverend refers to the U.S. as "the United States of white America." Sound odd? He has even gone on in one of his sermons comparing a self deemed black Jesus and the rich white Romans to the problems of blacks and racism in the United States today. One of his most outlandish statements was, "blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America." If that isn't enough he insists that 9/11 was single handily brought on by American terrorism, that AIDS/HIV are genocidal attempts by the government to rid the country of African-Americans, and calls for the divestiture of Israel. Not to mention his great praise for Louis Farrakhan, the extremely antisemitic and anti-American head of the Nation of Islam.

Does any of this really matter in relationship to Barack? Yes. Why? The reverend has been a spiritual leader and a self proclaimed role model to Obama. In fact, Wright was one of the key influences, according to Barack, that encouraged him to run for the presidency and now it's coming back to haunt him. If that's the kind of man that Barack Obama idolizes then the American people should wise up and throw his political rhetoric out the window. Good speeches don't make good presidents, and the same with Senator Obama.

The Democrat Split

With the frontrunner's for the democratic nod in 08' being one, a white female and two, a black male, one stands to wonder how they got themselves in such a mess? Now, before you get red in the face you have to understand that I'm not saying that an African American or a woman is a bad thing. Their not, essentially. They are, however, a bad thing if they are running against each other for the democratic nomination. Let me explain.

For the longest time the Democrats have ran on minority platforms, aiming at the lower middle class for there vote base. Women's rights and minority rights have always been something that the Democrats have gave a nod to. Not to say, however, that Republicans don't care about minorities, I believe they do. Those issues just haven't been the key major issues they have ran on in the past. Democrats have been so focused on these issues that now in 08' the party is literally being torn.

While both Hillary and Obama both continue to say that race and gender are not issues, the voting public says otherwise. The vast majority of African American voters are going to Obama. While Hillary is receiving the mass of women, especially white women. The Result, two of the Democratic party's biggest running platforms are now in a full on political shoot out.

When divisions arise in a party it's best to mend them as quick as humanly possible. Nevertheless, with the Democratic nomination likely going to who ever buys out the super delegates its going to leave another half of the party out on the street. I don't imagine the losing half will be in any mood to reconcile quickly either. This spells out a big problem for the Democrats, one it will be interesting to watch how it develops. This whole ordeal, perhaps, is nothing more than a big White House cookie with John McCain's name on it. If he's wise he'll duck his head in this ongoing and shoot out, and focus on the bank. What I mean is he needs to use this time to campaign and amass money for the general election while his two opponents tear each other up. If your enemies are shooting at each other, it's best to sit back and watch.
