Jim Webb says no offically to a V.P. Spot

MSNBC reports that Jim Webb is saying no to being Obama’s V.P.

“Last week I communicated to Senator Obama and his presidential campaign my firm intention to remain in the United States Senate, where I believe I am best equipped to serve the people of Virginia and this country. Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for Vice President.
“A year and a half ago, the people of Virginia honored me with election to the U.S. Senate. I entered elective politics because of my commitment to strengthen America’s national security posture, to promote economic fairness, and to increase government accountability. I have worked hard to deliver upon that commitment, and I am convinced that my efforts and talents toward those ends are best served in the Senate.
“In this regard, the bipartisan legislative template we were able to put into effect through 18 months of work in order to enact the new, landmark GI Bill will serve as a prototype for my future endeavors in government. This process, wherein we brought 58 Senators from both parties to the table as co-sponsors, along with more than 300 members of the House, gives me renewed confidence that the Congress can indeed work effectively across party lines and address the concerns of our citizens.
“At this time I am also renewing my commitment to work hard to make sure that Senator Obama wins both Virginia and the presidency this November. He is a man who speaks eloquently about our national goals and calls for the practical solutions that must be put into place to obtain them. I will proudly campaign for him.”

Word is that the Democrat card readers are saying that Joe Biden is in the running. Of course, that is strictly rumor.

Please, give Jesse Helms a break…

You know, I am about sick and damn tired of reading the ongoing rambling about Senator Jesse Helms. The man is dead, let’s move on, please. I mean, let’s show a little respect of his family.

it just goes to show you the true colors of the New York Times and The Washington Post, especially of WaPo for republishing an article, slamming helms as a racist, the day he retired from the Senate.

As far as I am concerned, The Washington Post is nothing more than a shill for the Commie Liberals who hate everything that we Conservatives stand for in America.

From the "WTF?!?!?!" File….

This is messed in the head on so many levels.

Quote:

The National Children’s Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.

This could include a child of as young as three who says “yuk” in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.
The guidance by the NCB is designed to draw attention to potentially-racist attitudes in youngsters from a young age. – Toddlers who dislike spicy food racist, say report – Telegraph

So if I happen to think that hog jawls and collared greens and okra taste the reprocessed human waste, does that make me a racist too?

It is to wonder.

It's about time Bozell!

Well, it’s about time!

Quote:

CNSNews.com will launch its new Web site on Tuesday, July 8, with a fresh look, more stories, videos, photos, and reader comments. Check out the new www.cnsnews.com on Tuesday, July 8.- CNSNews.com Launches New Web Site on Tuesday, July 8 — 07/04/2008

I’ve always said that Brent Bozell needed to update that 1990’s era website of theirs. Hopefully, it will rival Media Matters for America’s site, embeddable video clips, nice banners or buttons for Blogs. It has to be totally web 2.0 friendly. Now if they could just get the MRC site updated too, they’d be in good shape.

I can’t wait to see it.

What the heck was John McCain thinking when he allowed THIS to happen?

Oy…. Juan McCain’s vast expanse of Blatant Stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

Via ABC News Political Radar:

ABC News has learned that Sen. John McCain’s campaign has hired Mike DuHaime as political director, the first new hire by Steve Schmidt in his capacity as the person in charge of day-to-day campaign operations.
DuHaime had served as a senior advisor for political operations at the Republican National Commitee since March, but now he will head up the political team from within the McCain operation.
The move comes as the McCain campaign essentially relaunches its general election effort, after weeks of complaints in Republicans circles that McCain, R-Ariz., has been slow to find his footing against Illinois Democrat Sen. Barack Obama.
DuHaime most recently managed the failed presidential campaign of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. DuHaime brings years of experience, organizing on behalf of Republicans at the state and local level, to the job. Notably, DuHaime served as political director of the Republican National Committee, and as regional political director for the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign in 2004.

I hate to say it, but that was a big time boneheaded move and the Liberals are going to nail him on it, big time.

Claudia over at Poligazette puts it much better, than I can:

What do you do when you’re a Republican in a terrible year for Republicans, and when fellow Republicans have been complaining for weeks that you haven’t found your voice against your opponent? Well you do a shake-up of course. And who do you bring in to be your new political director? Well a former senior advisor to one of the most disasterously missmanaged campaigns this season, of course!

Ha! So true. No wonder some republicans are buying these stickers like mad:

He might be a crook, but he's a PATRIOTIC one!

(via instapundit)

Hmmmmm… I wonder if this one will show up in the New York Times? I highly doubt it. 🙄

Via The New York Post:

He’s a criminal, but he “did the right thing” when it mattered – alerting cops to what he feared was a terror plot the day before the Fourth of July.
At about 5 p.m. yesterday, an unidentified thief with a police record broke into a red van that had been parked at 53rd Street and Second Avenue in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park for about a month, a source told The Post.
He was stunned when he looked inside – it was filled with gas cans and Styrofoam cups containing a mysterious white substance with protruding wires and switches.

Stealing vans in one thing, but blowing up part of the damn city is another. Kudo’s to the guy for doing the right thing.

I just wonder how many Democrats will deny this even happened, because it is a New York Post story and dismiss it as Rupert Murdock produced pro-war Propaganda?

Afghanistan officials claim US air strikes killed civilians

You know, I’m just going to say it….

Quote:

Afghan officials said fighter aircraft battling militants accidentally killed up to 27 Afghans walking to a wedding ceremony in eastern Afghanistan early Sunday, the second military attack in three days with reports of civilian deaths — Afghan officials: US missiles killed 27 civilians – Yahoo! News

Two Words….

Tough shit.

Why would I say that? I’ll tell you why. The way I see it, if your country knowingly harbors a terrorist leader and his group of thugs, that was responsible for killing 2,974 of our people. Then I say if some of your people, who happened to be in the area, when our forces happen to be taking out a group of terrorists. That’s just too damn bad.

Does that make me a chicken hawk? Hell No. What that makes me is someone who supports our Military, it makes me a Nationalist, who loves America and happens to believe in the doctrine of “what comes around, goes around” and of “If you play with mud, you’re gonna get dirty”.

Some of us, have not forgotten, at all, what happened in New York, and at the Pentegon on 9/11.

The only way to spend a nice warm Sunday evening….

Seeing politics is kinda on the slow cycle of things… I thought I’d share a few pictures here.

Here are 3 that I just snapped:

A Wifi connection, A Laptop, A table with an umbrella, and a nice big mug with some tea with lemon in it.

Another view of the hook up….the extension cord was for the laptop, my battery only lasts an hour.

Hey, it’s not beach front in Miami, But it will do! 😉

Update: The really funny part was, shortly after I snapped these. I started getting hot, I mean as in “I feel like I’m gonna puke”, hot. So, I rolled up the cord, and put it back in garage, scooped up the laptop and went back inside, I can handle 70 degrees and sunshine and a slight breeze, but when it starts getting into the upper 80’s and muggy, with the medication that I take for A.D.H.D., I start getting sick to my stomach, so, I went back in.

It was fun, while it lasted. 😀

Gotta love our Liberal Main Stream Media

It seems that according to various British media sources, the United States scored a major victory in Iraq.

Too bad the vast majority of Americans, unless they read blogs, won’t hear about it. That’s because the United States Liberal controlled media is too busy trying to tell Americans that the war in Iraq is lost and that we’re losing, and so forth.

What further proof do we need, that the Liberals in this country, hate America, Our Military and the values that we conservatives hold dear?

It is no wonder that places like the New York Times and other dead wood media sources are losing money left and right and will eventually be put out of business.

The Silence of these media sources speak volumes to me.

Libertarians love Obama?? Wha?

This is crazy…..

Via Rasmussen Reports:

Libertarian voters make up 4% of the nation’s likely voters and they favor Barack Obama over John McCain by a 53% to 38% margin. Three percent (3%) would vote for some other candidate and 5% are not sure. These results, from an analysis of 15,000 Likely Voter interviews conducted by Rasmussen Reports, challenges the conventional wisdom which assumes that strong support for a Libertarian candidate would hurt John McCain.

Why any self respecting Free Market, Pro Gun, Anti-Big Goverment, Anti-Socialist, Pro Capitalist, Libertarian would vote for a big government, anti-Capitalist, Socialist, Marxist like Obama is totally beyond me.

Obama is everything that Libertarianism is not. Big Government, Anti-Gun, Anti-Capitalist, Pro-socialist, Communist, Marxist… (same difference, but….)

But then again, the Libertarian party did choose Bab Barr for the Presidential candidate. That says quite a bit, considering that Bob Barr was 100 percent against everything that he is running for now. Which is, well, odd.

I think it would not be a bit of embellishment to say that, in the words of the great Bob Dylan, the times they are changin’….

….and for whatever it’s worth….. Not THIS Libertarian! Not on Barry’s Best day!
