That's Sick Larry!

I was ready to give Larry Craig the benefit of the doubt on that airport stuff but now it comes out in a column by Bob Novak today that he helped make Arlen Spectacle (described by Novak as a 'moderate') the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. What a sick, perverted thing to do. Because of his selfish, twisted actions small businesses will be destroyed by trial lawyers and out-of-control regulators, criminals will be set free on technicalities to harm innocent citizens, terrorists will be given ACLU lawyers and our West Coast ports will become burdened with ships loaded to the gunwales with Chicom cash for the Clinton Campaign. Thanks a bunch Larry. You're a great American. But hey lets give Novak a break! The guy's getting old. When he identified Arlen as a 'moderate' in today's column he meant to write 'moderatly crazy left-wing activist friend of the Democratic pro-terror lobby' but his arthritis kicked in.

For The Children!

The Right Wing Attack Machine is dancing with joy because their stereotyping of all Asians as agents of Chicom intelligence has resulted in the arrest of Norman Hsu in Colorado, before he could scoot across the border and head for Beijing. He probably was visiting one of his non-existent textile factories to reassure the people he doesnt employ before leaving the Land Of Compassion. Just because another creep with Chicom connections and no visible means of support has been nailed after giving millions in bundled donations to The Party That Cares About The Children we can all be thankful that it wasnt Jack Abramhoff giving Really Evil money to the Culture Of Corruption Republicans. Now we have to note whether these oh-so-shocked Friends Of The Children are donating just Hsu's donations or the bundled donations that Hsu generated from the Chicoms to worthy charities like the Clinton Lie-Berry Fund For Untraceable Cash. Hey, either way The Children win. It takes a village to bundle Commie Cash and who better to launder it than the Chinese?

Chicom Hilly

R. Emmet Tyrell wrote a column today giving a seamless narrative of the purchase of the Clints by Chicom intelligence, with an emphasis on the latest shenanagans by the Hsu's and the Paws.
How can the Repubs not be making any noise about this? Are these guys completely brain-dead? This is an opportunity to connect with the Republican base like no other, we all hate and fear the Clinton's for just this reason; they will bring a collection of sleazy Socialist criminals into the Executive Branch and destroy this country. If they were ever to stand up to the Chicoms (an unlikely scenario) couldnt Hu Jintao just produce Hsu, Chung and Trie at a press conference in Beijing? A real blackmail possibility. The Democrats cant possibly be stupid enough to invest their hopes in these sleazy Clintons. And why are the Republicans having debates where they're not screaming and demanding an explanation from Mrs. Sleazeball? The Repub theme should be 'Stench Of Corruption' and they should be shouting this from the rooftops. Instead they're arguing amongst themselves about trivia. A bought-and-paid-for agent of Chicom intelligence is running for president and the opposition party doesnt seem to notice. Whichever candidate announces and makes a major speech demanding that Dragon Lady come clean will win himself a place in the hearts of Repub primary voters. The warroom generated firestorm of reaction from the Clintonista sock-puppets and their bum-crawling toadies in the drive-by media will bring this to the attention of even the most befuddled Oprah viewer. Which of our candidates is going to show the cajones needed to take on America's bitter enemies-- starting with Chicom Hilly and her perjuring, rapist husband.

Drop Dead Fred

So Fred Thompson made his big announcement last night. Mary Kay Hamm on Townhall talked about the color scheme of the set he was on. I guess that says it all. There is no there there. He's like Cunegonde in 'Candide', by the time he's ready to say yes he's too old and ugly for it to matter. This country should be sick of posers trying to emote their way into the presidency. The Dems have the worst batch but only a few of the Repubs have any gravity or accomplishment. Giuliani foremost, but McCain has a long, solid record (a liberal one but its there); even Duncan Hunter has stood up for his principles in a rational way, as has Tancredo (although neither of these two has much of a record of accomplishment or leadership); the rest are a bunch of schleppers, posing and preening and pandering. We cant gamble on an unknown against the Clintons.
Anyway, since Thompson has a TV candidacy I reviewed him like a TV critic:

If we're going to play TV critic games (and we might as well with a candidate with no administrative or substantial political experience like this one) than lets act like a casting director after an audition.
"Hmmm. Style's ok but he's too ugly." If I want a liberal pretending to be conservative I would cast KenDoll Mitt Romney for the role of 'exciting new face on a presidential candidate'. Fred looks like an old frog. I keep thinking of 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou', "Them sireens turned Pete into a toad!" when I see this guy. Dumping the debate for Leno underlined what a lightweight he is. Up against Dragon Lady, day after day in this endless campaign, he will turn off every swing voter in the country with his baggy eyes, barrel-like physique and infundibulum jowls. Fred had his boomlet but then wasnt able to turn himself into a brand people trust and want to choose over the others. Partly its just his sheer lack of any political accomplishment or substance but also that he doesnt have a theme people can rally to. His entry in the debate last night-- a stiff, formless and forgettable paid spot gave him a presence that accented his inability to get on the playing field. If the ad had attacked Hillary Clinton's Chicom cash and reminded us how high the stakes were and saluted the other debaters it might have worked but it turned out to be a big,fat nothing. I hope he hasnt burned his bridges at 'Law And Order'.

Enough With The Gimmicks!

So Fred Thompson isnt going to debate but he'll run an ad during the debate. Aint that ducky?
Who is this buffoon anyway? We've got to step back from the day-to-day political game and ask ourselves what we really know about any of these guys and whether we know them well enough to trust them at such a critical moment. Not just what they say but what they've done and how they've behaved in the past. Do we now award the Presidency to the candidate with the cleverest media strategy? What has Howard Baker's protege actually DONE in his life that would give us any confidence in his rhetoric? I like bold, conservative statements as much as the next guy but we've had a phoney 'compassionate conservative' in the White House for the last seven years and have had to eat alot of crow while he expanded the welfare state mightily and handed out goodies to all his Chamber Of Commerce business buddies. Let's not get screwed again by some slickly packaged unknown quantity. The only candidates running this year who have been promenantly in the public eye long enough to have shown, by their actions, what kind of leader they would be are Rudy Giuliani and (God help us) Hillary Clinton. The rest could be anything, and we've had twenty years of damage to our country by chiseling, self-agrandizing, big government incompetents from both parties. Let's not risk it again.

What, More!!???

I've been screwing around all morning, avoiding work, so this is my third post. Its a reaction to an article in 'This Is London' about a Tory (conservative) plan to withhold government health care from people with 'unhealthy' lifestyles. And what the Socialists are thinking is not reported.

My comment:

Aye Chihuahua! These are the CONSERVATIVES! You know that many of your cracked left-wing brethren consider being a conservative an unhealthy life-style. But, never fear, unlike you hard-hearted types, the Socialists have pioneered cures in their state-of-the-art hospitals in Cuba and China to cure incorrect thinking and would never withhold much-needed therapy from you tweedy middle-class 'conservatives'. But in your case the series of electroshocks and mind-bending drugs will be unnecessary, you've already bought into the notion that the government should determine how everyone else behaves. And what a fabulous job they're doing, too! Fairness and multi-culti equity rule the day. I guess to suggest privatizing health care and making people responsible for their own lifestyle choices would be out of place here?

Well, I guess this was a bit too salty for the gang at This Is London. They allowed a few lame comments saying that people who were refused NHS care should withhold paying taxes for it but questioning the NHS itself or linking their mentality with the slightly more brutal Socialist regimes was a no go. Its hard being a Right Wing Nut sometimes. There's so little tolerance and understanding. Sigh. Great were the comments that those fat, smoky bastards should crawl into the nearest ditch and die to save valuable medical resources for the truly deserving, a harbinger of our future in this country.

I Want Some Support

Dean Barnett on Hugh Hewitt had a piece mainly on Iraq and how the terrorist-left is dealing with our sucesses, in which the upcoming Brian DePalma movie about the Haditha non-massacre was discussed. I went on IMDB and viewed a list of this guy's movies. Except for 'Carrie' and 'Phantom Of The Paradise' it is a long list of boring attempts at edginess that almost always fail. I especially note 'Casualties Of War' which attempts to make the troops in Vietnam look like an unsupervised gang of homicidal juvenile delinquents. It is truly unwatchable. I found it in the $5 rack at Target where Mr. DePalma's films usually end up. I wish I had my five dollars back so I could have lunch at Taco Bell.
Anyway, the more I thought about it the madder I got. I mean, okay those soldiers and Marines do have to put up with roadside bombs and getting shot at and having EJ Dionne write columns about them and stuff but what about us heroes who are dragged by our left-wing spouses to see this garbage?
So I posted:

How come those military types not making any difference in Iraq (according to the left) arent sending any cards or care packages to us who bravely, sometimes through no fault of our own, have to sit through Brian DePalma movies? He is, without a doubt, the most confusing, boring, inane filmmaker around. His undoubtedly incoherent ravings about Iraq will play for about three days at the local megaplex and then be dumped into those graveyards of flops HBO and Showtime. The casualty rate for anti-war films these days is looking the same as the casualties of their spiritual brothers in Al Qaida In Iraq-- lots of stinking corpses. We can just all be happy that this takes money that these idiots would be bundling for Her Thighness and dumps it down the rathole.Me, I'm saving up my money for Leonardo DeCaprio's expose on Global Warming...

The Same Dopes

Robert Novak wrote a column today about how despondent and depressed the Republican hacks in the Washington political industry are about their future election prospects. It points out the state that the hapless GW Bush has left the party. These guys should be picking out conservative, take-no-prisoners candidates and going for a fifty-state assault against the Dems-- everywhere, starting today. Local money should stay local instead of being shifted around the country to favored lackeys. A winning team has a winning mentality.

My Comment on TH:

All the 'experts' should put down their polling data,stop running focus groups and get out there and FIGHT!. The Republican Party is not making a case for itself that the American people can understand... and not just in the targeted districts that they think might be vulnerable. I watched DiFi run a totally brain-dead campaign for Senate in '06, with absolutely NO effective opposition. Nobody raised her hubby's defense contracts (while she was voting to cut funds off for our army in the field) or any of her whacky, terrorist-supporting actions. A good candidate could have beaten her in this supposedly Democratic state. But because all the geniuses in Washington decided to back losers like Lincoln Chafee there was no campaign out here. There was no campaign against Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a left-wing liberal in a conservative state; probably because he sucked up to President Bush on a couple of votes. Why didnt someone lay down the law to chuckleheads like Max Baucus in Montana and Kathleen Harris in Florida and put in some decent candidates? Is somebody going to suggest to Ted Stevens that he drive over the 'bridge to nowhere', park his car and stay there, before we lose that one. We need a national campaign AGAINST government-run health-care NOW! Not just to stop an obvious wrong turn but to unite the party around a theme we all agree on and to communicate to the rest of the people-- the default Democrats-- that there is an alternative to the slide towards Euro-trash Socialism.
In short, the apparatchiks that run the party lack vision, imagination and courage. They are not political entrepreneurs but time-serving parasites. We cant win with a team like that.

Ginko Baloba

I wrote this to comment on an article by Salene Zito titled, "Ex-Adviser To McCain Says He Deserves A Second Look From Voters'. That was followed by a column filled with inside-the-organization gossip and not one reason why any conservative (aka Republican base voter) should give this guy a second look. The failure of George W. Bush and guys like McCain to advocate and produce any results on a myriad of issues important to conservatives has pointed out the necessity of remembering actions and not listening the campaign jive. If important Republicans dont start standing up for our principles then forget it, the party is going to die and this country will continue its slide towards Euro-feebleness.

Its a miracle root, one that people use when their memory starts to fail. You know, when you cant remember how this guy SCREWED us with the 'Gang Of Fourteen'. Remember, Republicans had a majority in the Senate for four years and I dont recall us Republican primary voters getting a single thing that we elected these guys for,in many instances because this 'maverick' stood in the way. Casting one's mind back I seem to remember Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the guy who planned and organized 911, who Senator McCain, if memory serves me right, wants to give an ACLU lawyer to so his Islamonazi mug wont have to answer any rudely-phrased questions about his associates. Cant you remember things like McCain-Kennedy (letting LaRaza And MALDEF write our immigration laws) and McCain-Feingold's partial repeal of the First Amendment? Salena, you should take this miracle root, available at most health-food stores, so you will remember the most important thing, THIS GUYS A LIBERAL!

Is This A Free Country

Recently there have been generic TV ads by some left-wing foundation demanding that the California Legislature 'Do Something' about the health-care 'crisis'. I guess by crisis they mean that poor people are stuck getting free but less-than-the-best service from overpressed county authorities while the majority of insured middle-class people have much shorter wait times and access to a wider variety of services. Asking the confused Marxist hippies and rabid Mexican nationalists who compose the California Legislature to stick their noses into running the state's health care system is to sneer in the face of death. These idiots will kill us in the name of Fairness.
Today there was an article on Townhall about the Canadian system, and the many Canuks who come south for medical care that is readily available here. The ongoing collapse of all these panacea free health care systems is as certain as it is predictable. Nationalizing industries never works.
Here's my comment:

Is This A Free Country? If this is a free country then where's all my free stuff? Or, to put it in the words of one of our local TV newscasters during the HillaryCare debate in the mid-90's, "Free Healthcare, how much will it cost?"
We've now had a century of governments nationalizing industries in the name of fairness and the results are always the same; scarcity, much higher costs, preferred access for the well-connected, and an end to innovation. Anyone who can look at the results of the many national-government health systems around the world and still be in favor of nationalization is a fool. Unfortunately if you attach the word 'free' to anything these days the hogs will come arunnin. This debate is just the Democrats yelling, "Sooooey!" and banging on the swill bucket. Reasoned arguments will have no effect, after all, its a Free Country, isnt it?
