On The Democrats Debate Last Night

Yes, I did watch the debates last night. It did seem like they were less interesting in hurling digs at one another, and more interested in pointing out differences between one another.

They were also interested in pointing out differences between the Democrats and the Republicans, especially on matters of foreign policy. While I think that McCain would be a great President on matters of Morals, and Right to Life and the like, McCain’s Foreign Policy would be a disaster. 100 years in Iraq. You must be kidding.

McCain says he would reign on spending, Funny, didn’t another Republican President Candidate say that back in 2000?!?! Thinking Look what that got us! Doh

Hopefully super Tuesday will select us a nominee and we can get the business of getting a candidate for the White House.

Keith Olbermann Special Comment on FYCA and the telecoms

For the most part, I agree. If the Bush Administration has done nothing wrong, then why threaten to veto? Confused

Sorry, I don’t buy the frivolous lawsuit B.S. Line. 

My take on the State of the Union Address

I wasn’t overly impressed. Neither was many other people, left or right.

Watch it for yourself:

and The Democrats Response:

To me, it was just more of the same from Bush. Nothing remarkable. According to Bob Cesca over at HuffPo:

10:08PM
Just flipped over to FOX News. Fred Barnes: This speech "will be forgotten pretty much. Haha!"

Damn. When Fox News Channel, the cheerleaders for the Neo-Conservative branch of the G.O.P. pans a speech made by their damn hero, that’s pretty bad! SurpriseLaughingRolling on the floor

Other than that, it’s just more of the same. Not really blog worthy in my book.

Obama's SC Victory Speech

Basically, That America wants to believe again.

So true.

Video: (via MSNBC)

I may not agree 100% with his Liberalism. But I will tell you this, if he wins. I will be voting for him. The Republicans have nothing that I want to buy. They’ve put us into a quagmire. All the while ignoring the problems at home. I hope, that Obama smokes Hillary’s butt in the remainder of the primary, for the way she acted, trying to divide a party, and over some of the stupidest nonsense. This is truly a historical moment in our Nation. The last thing we need is some idiotic, power hungry, closet lesbian, screwing up our chances to be in the White House in 2009.

Political Short takes

Yeah, I know, I didn’t blog any today. I just wasn’t in the mood.

So, Here’s what is going on the world, Politically and Newsworthy that is.

The Mayor of Detroit, Michigan is in Hot Water. Click Here, and Here and Here to read about it.

How we should Leave Iraq

The New York Times endorses Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

Dennis Kucinich drops out. (Yay!)

The Former Labor Secretary Under Bill Clinton, basically slams his old Boss.

Obama and Hillary are still going at it.

Some think the GOP debate tonight was horrible. I didn’t watch enough really to know.

Saddam was shocked that we invaded.

Obama leads Hillary in SC and FL, Romney Leads the GOP in FL.

The Government deports one of his own. Idiots Deluxe.

John Gibson is still Eine dumme Arschloch

Senate rejects secret court measure

Dubya Says, Osama won’t be caught while he’s in office, Liberals go… “Well Duh!”

and….Finally, Sunny Lucas, (Rachel’s Dog) is running for President. (woof!)

Advertisers Drop Savage Over Hateful Remarks

The following comes from HuffPo:

At least four major firms have pulled advertising from Michael Savage’s nationally syndicated radio show following a campaign highlighting his inflammatory rhetoric. One other company, Geico insurance, is expected to follow suit.

The campaign, launched recently by Brave New Films, generated thousands of calls urging advertisers on the Savage Nation show to sever financial ties to the widely popular (and frequently offensive) talk host.

In less than a week, four agreed to pull their ads from the show, including Union Bank of California (whose representative says they were advertisers on the Savage show by mistake and were glad to be taken off), Intuit, Chattem, ITT Technical Institute.

"We are thrilled at the amazing response of the true patriots all over the blogsphere who responded to our NOSAVAGE campaign," Robert Greenwald, head of the film company, said in a statement. "People have called and emailed and the responsible sponsors have responded by pulling their ads and asking that their ads not be on this racist and hateful show."

But group who has segments run on the show is raising eyebrows by refusing to distance itself from Savage. The USO, a non-profit that does work for U.S. armed forces, wrote Brave New Films complaining about being targeted and even hinting at a lawsuit. The organization’s lawyer Tony Bisceglie says it does not pay for the USO public service announcements that air on Savage’s show – Read the Rest

I’m going to be honest with you. I’m right of center, I hold to some Conservative values myself. But this idiot is a total loon. He makes Bill O’Reilly look like a nun.

I can see the USO’s position, But I think anyone who’s paid for ads on his show, should pull them. This is no way to promote goodwill to other races in America. The problem is, Muslims hear this sort of thing and they believe EVERYONE in America is like this. If you’re Muslim, and you happen to read this Blog, I assure you, we’re not ALL like this.

The problem with Michael Savage is, he believes ALL MUSLIMS are terrorists, which many Conservatives happen to believe. This, I know, for a fact is a crock of bull. Most Muslims in America, that in fact, practice Islam, are moderates. They reject the idea of a violent Jihad. I know this might be hard thing for some Conservatives to swallow, but it’s the truth. One thing that the Conservatives must realize, if they are going to ever get anywhere in American politics is, that the guys who carried out the September 11’th attacks were not just Muslims, they were mentally deranged extremists who just happened to be believers in the Doctrines of Islam, if they were not Islamic Muslims, they would have been something else.

Yes, I do believe that there is a war on terror. There is a war against mindless extremists within the Muslim Islamic Faith, Not against Arabic people or Muslims or Islam in General. That sort of mentality has origins in the White Nationalist circles and unfortunately has seeped over into main stream Conservatism.   

I know, some of you are going to say, "What about what you wrote here?" Yes, I know what I wrote there. I was referring to the extremists within the Muslim Movement. I also was more commenting on this part:

“The upsetting part is not only do they go into the history (which would be acceptable) but also the teaching of Islam,” she said. “This book does not really go into Christianity or the teachings of Christ, nor does it address religious doctrine elsewhere to the degree it does Islam.”

She said the book’s one page referencing Jews “is only to convey that they were tortured by Crusaders to get them to convert to ‘Christianity.’ (It fails to mention that the biggest persecutors of Jews throughout history and still today are Arab Muslims). It gives four other one-liner references to the Jews being blamed for the plagues and problems in the land. It does not talk about the Jews as making a significant impact on the culture at large.”

That was my issue within that story. I do not, however, believe that Islam, or any other Religion should be PUSHED on anyone, at all. We all should be able to make our own decisions ourselves. It might appear that I am talking about of both sides of my Mouth Chatterbox, but I am not. Big Grin

Yeah, I know, you're wondering why….

I know, you’re most likely wondering why I have not Blogged about the Debates.

Because I am just very disgusted with the whole process. That is why.

John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton spent most of the day, which was SUPPOSED to be celebrating the Birthday of a man who stood up for social justice, being civil to one another.

Then all at once, within a one-hour period, all of that civility went out the window.  

Some would say, “Hey, that’s politics.”, Well, you know? I disagree. Just what in the name of the Almighty, is being accomplished by the first African-American and the first Female Presidential candidates sniping over absolutely idiotic nonsense?  

I mean, what kind of image is that sending to the American people? What kind of signal is that sending to aspiring young people interested in Politics? That it is perfectly acceptable to attack someone that you are running against?

Normally, I would, without delay, post the videos of the sniping and comment about it. But that’s what the main stream media is doing. That’s what every political Blogger is doing. They’re a part of the media machine. I’m just not interested in joining the chorus of Bloggers talking about that feckless nonsense.

I am actually scared to death, why? Because I am afraid that people have seen this sniping and they’ve thought, “Why the hell should I vote for those two?” I mean, this would be great thing for Edwards, But we’re on the threshold of making history here and the two damned idiots that are principle players in it are acting like total nincompoops!

Don’t even get me started about Bill Clinton. “Hey Honey, I’m going go out and destroy you’re chances of getting elected!”, He’s another of the feckless ones. Not to mention his falling asleep during Martin Luther Kings III’s speech. More fodder for the media machine, I guess.

I guess I’m supposed to be feeling really good about all this hoopla, so far, Nothing. Nada. No Dice. I’d rather be watching the history channel or something else more productive.

I apologize if you came here thinking that I had some great commentary on the debates, But I just don’t. I just don’t have an impression.

I will say this, if Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton keep up the nonsense, and the Democrats lose, and we end up with John McCain AKA Bush 2.0 or that Mormon freak Mitt Romney in the White House, the Democrats will have no one to blame, but their own selves for it.

So far, color me unimpressed with the Democrats.
