Editorial: No, It is not a fake

January 10, 2008

It could never be said that I could be accused of being a water carrier or a cheerleader for this current Presidential Administration. I am about as close to being a water carrier for the Republican Party as Madalyn Murray O’Hair was a missionary to Christianity. However, I find myself being greatly offended by those, who actually call themselves American citizens, you know, those on the more Liberal side of the political fence, who claim that they support our troops?

Yesterday, I was looking at my usual source for news stories that are hot in the Blogging world, and I happen to come across a story that basically accuses our Military of lying about producing a video that shows our Military being taunted by Iran’s revolutionary guard. Frankly, the very idea that our Military personnel would risk their careers to produce fraudulent material for the purpose of political gain is laughable to those of us who live in the real world. I really do believe that Mr. Hooman Majd should really look into getting a job working for Alex Jones; it could only help his rather flimsy resume.

Not to mention with a last name like that, it is quite obvious which side he has taken in this war on terror that does exist in this country, despite the attempt by the far left to pretend that it does not even exist. While I am more progressive minded conservative, I find myself increasingly disappointed by the lunatic fringe mentality of the Liberals in this country. The reason for this, is it makes us more “Middle of the Road” type people look stupid, I mean, I am as disappointed in this President as anyone, but my gosh, has the factual reasoning of the American people as whole collectively gone out the window?

I can hear the screams of the far left, “But look what Bush has done!” and I understand where they are coming from, Yes, our President was wrong, his intelligence people were totally wrong, they have admitted this, time and time again. However, to sit and accuse the United States Military of aiding and abetting the President in some sort of political scheme is borderline treason, in my humble opinion.

Barack Hussein Obama, Johnny Reid Edwards, and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton all say that they want to bring change in this Country. Let me be the first to suggest to these people that the first thing they need to do, is to speak to the far left lunatic fringe within the Democrat Party and tell them to stop dragging our Military into their collective political bitch with the Government. I can understand the complaints that they have with the politics in Washington D.C., but for the sake of Almighty God, leave our men and women in uniform the hell out of it, please.

Thank you for reading

My Take on the Debates

On the Republican Side. I really did not see a clear "winner". I think that the barbs back and forth were totally uncalled for. I mean, They are supposed to be debating issues, not name calling and mud slinging. Although the off the cuff comments by McCain to Romney were great. Although, Huckabee needs to just leave Romney alone. I mean, Romney has him beat money-wise like 10 to 1, he could bury him, if he wanted to.

The Republicans really need to thin that herd out. There’s just too many of them.

Ron Paul is an total idiot, he needs to go to the Libertarian Party. I mean, he’s coming off looking like the resident psycho of the group. He hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in Hades, so, why continue? It just makes the party look bad.

Fred Thompson came off as totally unmotivated, I think he’ll be out by this coming Tuesday.

On the Democratic side, the barbs between Hillary and Edwards and Obama and Edwards looked totally staged.

As far as a "winner" on the Democratic side, I think Edwards and Obama looked good. They did hold the "Change" banner up and defended it well, Hillary started out well, but ended up looking like a "screaming meme" at the end. It was all about her bragging about how much experience she has. I think people will pick up on that come time for the vote.

Richardson is a nice man, too nice for this race, I look for him to drop out, come this vote, he’s already laid off staffers.

And there you have it, the official of center guy’s take on the Debates.

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.

Edwards surges, Huckabee nosedives

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 12/30/2007 | Edwards surges, Huckabee’s bubble bursts

John Edwards has clawed his way into contention to win Iowa’s caucuses on Thursday in the first vote for the Democratic presidential nomination, gaining strength even as rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have lost ground, according to a new McClatchy-MSNBC poll.

I have an idea as to why Edwards has moved up. I believe people want change. Hillary, to some, does not represent change, but rather the continuing of the Clinton Administration. I don’t think America wants to see Clinton 2.0.

However, because I am fair, America also wants a President who is honest. Edwards speaks a Populist message, all the while living in a multi-million dollar mansion. This strikes me as being hypocritical.

However, in the scheme of things, Edwards is most likely seen as the lesser of two evils.
