Michelle Malkin trashes the Unions

Go ahead and read, if you can without throwing up.

Two words for you, Michelle.

Union Strong.

We built Detroit

We made it what it is.

But your Republicans and your Conservative greedy company owners who wanted to build products cheaper, sold us out. By sending products overseas.

and of course, you will say, “But the Democrats are the one’s who passed nafta!” True, They did.

But your rich Republican business owners WERE ALREADY sending jobs overseas and they pressured congress to pass nafta with their powerful lobbies.

and, on the behalf of my Father, who’s a retired U.A.W. member, and G.M. Employee. Go Jump in the lake! You feckless witch!

Bill O'Reilly almost gets his tail kicked.

Heh.

Fox’s Bill O’Reilly in confrontation with Obama staffer at rally.

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly got into a confrontation with an Obama aide after O’Reilly started screaming at him as he tried to get Barack Obama’s attention following a rally here. O’Reilly eventually did chat briefly with Obama and asked him to be a guest on his show

I must confess. I would have loved to see the secret service slamming Bill O’s idiot noggin’ on the ground.

I think he should have been arrested. He was breaking the rules, he was not where he was supposed to be. You notice he didn’t challenge the secret service.

Of course, BillO spins it to his advantage. But it’s of course, Bullshit. Something he’s known for.

What more can you expect from a guy who sexually harasses his employees?

Why they Booed.

I was reading over on Time’s Blog about Hillary getting Boo’ed by the crowd.

Why did they boo? I know why.

Because people want change in this country. Hillary simply does not represent that, period.

She simply represents an extension of the Clinton dynasty. Plain and Simple. 

What cracks me up is the Republicans lamenting because they won’t have her to kick around during the general election. They can’t kick around Obama, least they be accused of being racist bigots. It is quite funny.

Huckabee's Campaign Manager shows his true Christianity.

Via Townhall.com’s Blog

-Rollins let the f-bomb fly twice and told his blonde female dining companion a joke about flying the Confederate flag in the South Carolina state capitol.

Hmph, So much for that "Christian" Campaign.

Huckabee and Obama win in Iowa

 Wow! What a race!

Huckabee and Obama win in Iowa Via Politico:

Mike Huckabee won a convincing victory among Republicans Thursday night, while Democrat Barack Obama posted a narrow and historic win over Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards as Iowans rendered the first  true judgments of the 2008 presidential cycle.

Huckabee was declared the winner at 9 p.m. Eastern time, easily besting Mitt Romney – a storyline that was unthinkable just weeks ago. With 41 percent of precincts reporting, Huckabee led Romney by a 31 to 23 percent margin.

Obama was called the winner just before 9:30 p.m.

Truly this is a political election of change. People are tired of the status quo, and people have voted with change. Huckabee represents that change on the Right and Obama on the Left.

I look for this to be a very interesting race. I look forward to following it.

Of course, Romney remains optimistic:

"Congratulations for the first round to Mike," Romney said on Fox News just before 9 p.m. Romney said that despite the disappointing results, he still felt that he would ultimately "be the one with the nomination”

Translation: Congrads, But I’m still going to win! Hee hee

I have seen on MSNBC and I have read that turn out was doubled this time. Where there were like 80 people in a district in 2004. There were hundreds this time. This is good, it seems that the American people are interested in this Election. This is such a good thing.

I just look forward to the spin that Hillary and the other candidates that didn’t do so well, spin this to their advantage. 

Updated: Fred Thompson will possibly drop out. Campaign says "Um, No."

Say goodnight Fred!

Fred Thompson may drop out (H/T Politico)

Several Republican officials close to Fred Thompson’s presidential campaign said they expect the candidate will drop out of the race within days if he finishes poorly in Thursday’s Iowa caucus.

Thompson’s campaign, which last spring and summer was generating fevered anticipation in the media and with some Republican activists, has never ignited nationally, and there are no signs of a late spark happening here in Iowa, where even a third-place finish is far from assured

Honestly? I do not see why it took him so long to do this. I mean, the guy didn’t strike when the iron was hot. He fiddled around and didn’t get his campaign started quick enough. So, I hate to say it. But the guy screwed up big time, and this is the result. A dud campaign.

The Corner says he is a Ronald Reagan Conservative. That’s laughable, as Reagan WON the election!  Hee hee

Oh well, there’s always Huckabee! Winking

It goes on to say that he’ll most likely will support McCain. That I feel, was quite the wise choice, because John McCain, is the best qualified amongst that group running for President.

Update:  Thompson’s Campaign Manager says. "Not true!" Via The Corner

Liberal Blogs Readership down and Conservative Blogs Readership up.

I have a Opinion as to why this is.

Bloggasm: Readership of major liberal blogs declined in 2007 while conservative blog readership increased

It has long been understood that the largest liberal blogs have generally produced more web traffic than the largest conservative blogs. But I have noticed a general trend over the past few months that I didn’t want to write about until the end of the year. After surveying the traffic stats of many major political blogs, I found that web traffic for several major liberal blogs either declined sharply or stayed the same while major conservative blogs saw a sharp increase in traffic.

The very plain and simple reason that this is, is because people are tired of Propaganda.  Some progressive minded people do not want us to just pull out of Iraq and leave that country in total tatters. Some of us, believe that there is a real war on terror and that it is not a figment of our imagination.  While I am not a fan of Faux Noise, aka Fox News and their Republican Neo-Conservative Propaganda. I am also not a fan of DailyKos and their far lefty loon nonsense either.

People want facts, and not political agendas. Period. Plain and Simple.

On the Republican Side: Huckabee Leads over Romney.

On the other side of the political fence. The Polls show that Hackabee still has a lead of Mitt Romney.

Hackabee is at 32% and Romney is right behind at 26%.

The sick and sad part is, neither of these guys are even remotely true Conservatives. With Romney’s Flip-flopping, and Hackabee’s skeletons in his closet, his tax hikes. They’re both just Conservative in name and not in deed.

If I were voting Republican. The only person I would vote for, who I feel is even remotely qualified for the job and that is John McCain. He sits at 13%, and that my friends, is a shame, A damn shame. Sad

Huckabee Disses gay people…. and He wants to get elected?

Wow…

I Don’t Know’ If People Are ‘Born’ Gay, But It’s A ‘Choice’ To Act Gay

On NBC’s Meet The Press this morning, host Tim Russert asked former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee if he believed “people are born gay or choose to be gay?” “I don’t know whether people are born that way,” responded Huckabee, “but one thing I know, that the behavior one practices is a choice.”

Huckabee conceded that “people who are gay say that they’re born that way,” but added that he believed that “how we behave and how we carry out that behavior” is more important.

This is freaking crazy. You can’t get elected saying crap like this anymore. This is outright Anti-Gay Propaganda.

Here’s the Video:

 

If Jesus freak boy wants to be taken seriously. He’d better get off of the nonsense. Because back in the 1980’s when this Nation was still someone Conservative, you could say stuff like this, In this day and age, Not so much.

Intolerance will only get you ignored.

You’d think this idiot would know this. But then again, we are talking about Huckabee. 

This is the same guy who got his kid out of trouble for killing a dog and also released a known killer.
