I have a question for all the Democrats out there. An honest question, really.
Would you vote for or belong to a political party that cheats to win?
No, well if you vote Democratic this November, you are.
The Dems are the only party that writes a book of rules, agrees to those rules, signs oaths to those rules and then BAM! changes those very rules when it becomes evident they are losing.
Florida voters apparently love to cheat to win. Rules were in place for the Florida primary, warnings were issued in every media, if you vote in this primary you are violating party rules and your vote will not count. And what did they do, they voted anyway, then when they were hit with the promised penalty, they screamed foul.
Typical Dem double dealing, double standard. If we're winning we'll stick by the rules, if we're losing, we're gonna change them. And worse, the DNC actually allowed them to break the very rules they agreed to. They rewarded the Florida DNC and Florida voters for breaking the rules.
Would you do that with one of your children? Would you reward your child for bad behavior? Would you reward him/her for cheating? Of course not, but if you cast your vote for the Dems in Nov, that's pretty much what you're doing. Rewarding your party for cheating; for breaking the rules.
Right now, I am so disgusted with the Dems that I could just scream. I've never seen such double dealing cheating.
And did anyone get a load of that loudmouthed blond woman during the decision Saturday? Screeching like a fishwife that she would vote for McCain in the fall before she would vote Dem, after they "cheated HRC" Huh? I got big headlines lady, the DEMS cheated,period!
But, only the Dems would cut off their own noses to spite their own faces, right?

Noise is being made now, whispers really of BHO being quietly coerced into naming HRC as his running mate in the generals. If that truly be the case, then I want to go on record right now with this somewhat dire prediction.
I predict that less than two years into his Presidency, BHO will be dead. Now, will this death be an accident or an assassination? That is a bit unclear at this time, but it will come to be.
It really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone when it happens. HRC and the worm WJC have no intentions of letting a black man take her preordained destiny away from her, and they certainly will never bow to the will of the people. It isn't in their best interest to do so.
Also, during her brief, one term tenure as President , HRC will finagle a bill that will enable WJC to once again become President of the United States and we will be under the crooked, criminal, selfish, irresponsible rule of the Clinton's for another twenty years.
BHO's only hope of surviving his term in office is to name ANYONE as his running mate BUT HRC. I truly believe his life will be forfeit if not.
On the other hand, all of this likely will never happen because the Democrats have successfully managed to destroy their party and any hope of re-taking the White House with this ridiculous in fighting, and since McCain will win in Nov. BHO is safe.
Just another reason to thank the Republicans, and another reason to vote for McCain in Nov. I for one do not want to be responsible for a man's death.

Can someone tell me exactly how they came to this brilliant conclusion?
OCPS is pushing to have the middle and high schoolers exchange starting times, claiming that by so doing they will be saving over three million dollars a year. How? I guess I'm just too dense to figure this one out. I mean, so they send the middle schoolers out at 6:30 a.m. to catch the bus for school, and the high schoolers get to sleep in until 8:30, how pray tell does that equate to a three million dollar savings?
Are they hoping that a third of the high schoolers will drop out because of the change, thus eliminating a few thousand students, therefore eliminating the need for the buses that transport them?
How do they figure that switching the times is going to make a dimes worth of difference?
They will have the same number of students riding the same buses, just at different times.
OCPS has come up with some stupid ideas in the past, but this one takes the cake.
Guess most of them are HRC supporters, blue collar, lower educated, and dodging sniper fire, and apparently like HRC, math is not their strong suit.

Is really an open book if people will just get their heads out of their collective a-- and do some research.
Most Dems really believe that 'golden years' crap that the Clinton's and their supporters are pushing, but what is the real truth?
It's getting down to the wire now. This Dem race is getting so tedious, and so ridiculous. How about the Dems naming another, what was it, 76 new 'super delegates?
Guarantee more than two thirds of them have been hand picked by the Clinton's. They know their time of reigning is nearly at an end, their supporters are deserting that sinking ship, so they need new targets to threaten into voting for her majesty.
Republicans are scorned and ridiculed for being too conservative, too narrow minded, but at least Republicans have the grace and dignity to let their constituents nominate them with their votes. They don't need a thousand so called "super delegates" to circumvent the system and deny the Dem voters the right to choose.
I read an interesting article on the so called "Golden Years of Bill Clinton. Very interesting. All of his accomplishments can be directly attributed to the Republican Congress, and all of Bush Sr.'s foibles can likewise be attributed to the Democratic Congress he had to deal with.

I was a bit surprised to learn that the Texas Rangers had an informant INSIDE that compound for over four years! So, my question is, why did it take four years for them to finally get a search warrant?
I know that in America folks are free to worship as they please, but does that include the right to break the law? Polygamy is illegal, so those practicing it, even if it is a part of their religious beliefs are breaking the law. So,why was this allowed to continue for so long?
I have a writer acquaintance who wrote two books on this practice a few years ago. One is called Sister Wife, the other is Wives and Sisters. When she wrote the first one, the LDS church condemned her. They were pretty upset that she was speaking about church affairs. Her book SisterWife, released in 2001 was an eerie preview of the Elizabeth Smart case that took place just a year after the book was released. (You can read all about Natalie's experiences on her blog. Pretty chilling stuff, really.)
Personally, I think that when Warren Jeffs was arrested and convicted , that was the time to get the warrant, not wait for months while other children and women continued to be abused. It just never ceases to amaze me the extreme's some religious groups go to, and it continues to amaze me the way the authorities keep turing a blind eye to these practices; all in the name of religious freedom.

Pretty disgusting, but what else can we expect? People watch these things, comment on them, give the 'stars' their fifteen minutes, so what can we expect?
Now there is speculation, or whispered rumors that the victim is preganat and these lil rednecks are facing murder charges if she loses the baby as a result of the beating. So, I have to wonder if their fifteen minutes is worth the time they're facing as a reult of their little video.
Can anybody tell me what earthly good You Tube or MySpace does anyone?
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is pushing to have these 'children' tried as adults and if the victim is pregnant and does lose the baby, do you think he's right to charge the eight kids involved with murder?

I find it a bit questionable that HRC wasn't screaming for Penn's head, and stranger still that she 'didn't know' that her chief campaign stratigist was courting trade deals with Columbia.
Her staff says she was upset and that she was opposed to any trade agreement with Columbia. Personally, I think she was just upset that Penn's clandestined meetings with the Columbian governemnt were discovered.
There is no way her majesty didn't know what Penn was doing, and no way she wasn't fully on board with these meetings. Dollars to donuts,in hushed conversations with Penn re the Columbian deal,HRC told him to go ahead, but go carefully, because if it comes out she will be forced to deny any knowledge of the deals.
All this does is add to the believability factor of Clinton. PA voters, NC, Montana, KY, IN and Oregon need to sit up and take notice. Your jobs are definitely on the line if HRC gets in office.

I saw this morning where John McCain 'entertained' Condi Rice in a supposedly convivial meeting. One has to wonder if McCain is getting ready to deliver the old one-two punch to the Democrats!
What better choice for him to make for a running mate than Condi Rice. With just a single nod he will be able to effectively eliminate both Democratic contenders and nullify their history making claims; HRC as first woman president. Hey, you gotta learn to walk before you can run, Hill. So Condi Rice as Veep, puts her in the perfect position to taking that first wobbly step to the Presidency. Obama, the first black President. Ditto for Condi, but with one HUGE difference; this black woman will have what both of the pretenders to the throne lack, and protest they hold in abundance; she has the experience and the name recognition.
While McCain has denied that he has spoken to Condi about becoming his running mate, it looks to me like that statement may have been made with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek and a sly wink and a nod.

I can hardly wait to see the replies to this one. There are so many homophobes out there this should bring them screaming out from under whatever rocks they live.
No, he's not a man. At least he wasn't born one. He was born a female with all the appropriate parts and he/she underwent sex re-assignment. He is married to his long time girlfriend, who has been with him since he was a 'woman'. Even though he had the surgery, he still has his ovaries, his uterus and his womb, and he was artificially inseminated. Now they are expecting a baby girl.
And everyone is screaming for his head.( I call him he because that is how he refers to himself.) Why? Does it really matter all that much if a gay couple or a trans-sexual couple or a trans-gendered couple become parents as long as the child has a loving home with two parents to love, protect and nurture it? Should a child be denied love and security because the people who choose to give it life are not what society calls normal?
I'm curious as to how you all react to this news. Comments?

I saw something on the news this morning that absolutely blew my mind. I know, it wouldn't take much, but be that as it may, this was just too silly for me.
Apparently, and I'm not too clear on the details on this because I searched the channel's website to get the whole story and couldn't find any link to it, so hopefully I was still dreaming.
It seems the FL Legislature is considering a bill that will eliminate Capital cases from the court docketts and abolish the death penalty. They said that it costs the State too much money to try these cases. They said some cases could cost as much as $500,000.00 to try.
So, my question is, what do they plan to do with the murderers and child rapists and the like that commit these crimes? Are they going to be tried as misdemeanors and then slapped on the wrists and set loose on the public or do they plan to ship them out of state for someone else to deal with?
How does a state decide to abolish capital cases from their courts? And do they mean to tell us that abolishing the death penalty is going to save the state money? If it costs Florida taxpayers upwards of $35,000.00 a year per prisoner on death row and most of them stay there for what , sometimes as much as 20 years, exhausting appeal after appeal, which by the way we also pay for, we're looking at what ,7 million dollars to keep that murderer alive? So, how is abolishing capital cases and the death penalty going to save the State and taxpayers money?
Any ideas on this one?

The following is an excerpt I found while reading other blogs in the bloggoshpere.
HRC was fired by the lead attorney in the Nixon impeachemtn proceedings because he found her to be unethical and dishonest.
"My own reaction was of regret that, when I terminated her employment on the Nixon impeachment staff, I had not reported her unethical practices to the appropriate bar associations.
Hillary as I knew her in 1974
At the time of Watergate I had overall supervisory authority over the House Judiciary Committee's Impeachment Inquiry staff that included Hillary Rodham-who was later to become First Lady in the Clinton White House.
During that period I kept a private diary of the behind the scenes congressional activities. My original tape recordings of the diary and other materials related to the Nixon impeachment provided the basis for my prior book Without Honor and are now available for inspection in the George Washington University Library.
After President Nixon's resignation a young lawyer, who shared an office with Hillary, confided in me that he was dismayed by her erroneous legal opinions and efforts to deny Nixon representation by counsel-as well as an unwillingness to investigate Nixon. In my diary of August 12, 1974 I noted the following:
John Labovitz apologized to me for the fact that months ago he and Hillary had lied to me [to conceal rules changes and dilatory tactics.] Labovitz said, "That came from Yale." I said, "You mean Burke Marshall [Senator Ted Kennedy's chief political strategist, with whom Hillary regularly consulted in violation of House rules.] Labovitz said, "Yes." His apology was significant to me, not because it was a revelation but because of his contrition.
At that time Hillary Rodham was 27 years old. She had obtained a position on our committee staff through the political patronage of her former Yale law school professor Burke Marshall and Senator Ted Kennedy. Eventually, because of a number of her unethical practices I decided that I could not recommend her for any subsequent position of public or private trust."

Clicking on the link will provide you with the rest of the story. You'd think if I could ferret this crap out, the media could as well, which just goes to show you that the Clinton's are the media darlings.

in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The powers that be in the aforementioned states have decided to go ahead with hunts aimed at thinning the Gray Wolf populations in those states.
The wolves, recently removed from the Federal Endangered Species list after facing near extinction for years has once again become the targets of hunters, and will doubtless be returned to the list after this first and hopefully only legal hunt.
Livestock owners in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho attribute the killing of some of their livestock and pets to the wolves, but I have my doubts. Of course you'll never convince these people that their livestock and pets are NOT the natural prey of wolves, unless they are facing a serious lack of natural prey.
It breaks my heart that these beautiful, gentle animals are once again caught in the cross hairs of some hunter.
AS the owner of a hybred wolf, I am violently opposed to the proposed hunt. These guys are gentle, loving, protective, social animals who are loyal and mate for life. They are NOT vicious predators, and they are not dangerous unless cornered.
The Govenors of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho are sanctioning these hunts, and no matter what excuse they give, it's wrong.
If we don't find a way to prevent these hunts, the Gray Wolf will soon join the ranks of thousands of other speicies man has managed to drive to extinction. How many more animals are we willing to deprive our children and grandchildren the awe and beauty of?

That was just amazing to me. How does anyone walk into a hospital these days and walk out with someone else's baby? Where is the security?
That mother and father had to have been terrified and who can blame them? Did this woman cut the hospital i.d. bracelet off the baby? How on earth did she just walk out the door?
And did you see the woman? You gonna sit there and tell me that the security guards couldn't stop her? Did they even try? If they couldn't prevent that woman from walking out the door with someone else's baby, then they need to find new careers, because obviously they aren't fit to guard anything as precious as newborn babies.
You gotta give props to the cop that finally nailed the woman. Right place, right time, and he did so with no one being harmed. Good job.
I am just flabbergasted. Hospital security is top priority, or it should be.

Every morning it's the same old thing. You wake up, stagger into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee, flip on the GMA and there she is in all her questionable glory.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sick to death of having HRC's chubby-cheeked, smary smiled face shoved down my throat every morning.
While I completely enjoy watching the Dems implode, having to watch HRC's smug, self-entitled self spew lie after lie is grating on my last nerve.
And those Clinton supporters? Geez, get a grip y'all. The woman is a lying, conniving, win at any cost beotch, and you all are being labeled as low income, low intelligence bozos who can't even get out of your own way. Of course, if the shoe fits and in this case it certainly does. Hell, her campaign manager and others closest to her can't even do simple math. YOU CAN'T WIN, STUPID GET OUT!!!
PA, come on, this woman, by her own claims is a big part of the reason a lot of you are jobless. Remember NAFTA? Why is that so forgettable to you all? So what, you all made so much money toiling in those steel mills that NAFTA managed to shut down that you can completely ignore that HRC and slick Willy are the reason you no longer have jobs? Remember, she's claiming to have been deeply involved in all the policy making during her husband's tenure in office? That's where her extensive "experience" comes in. So, how can you support someone who has cost you and the rest of the rust belt so much?
As a Republican I am actually happy that the Dems have taken the ,well folks like the PA Dems into their camp. I think to become a registered Republican you have to pass a basic commn sense test, and apparently the rust belt Dems couldn't pass it, so they signed up to be Democrats.
I'm also growing weary of Obama's 'take the high road' attitude. Barack, nice guys never finish first, especially if that nice guy is going up against the Clinton's. People who thwart those two usually fade into obscurity, tails tucked firmly between their legs, never to be seen or heard from again. If you don't want to become a member of that club, you better grow a pair and start calling her royal highass on her crap.
In retrospect, I guess I can change the channel to something more entertaining like Sponge Bob. As long as her majesty and the pretender to the throne continue to spar, McCain sits back and enjoys the turmoil and the swelling ranks of Dems turned Republican.
President John McCain, has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Good question. And the answer; when it is wielded by HRC to shovel B.S. Her recent
‘misstatement on her harrowing trip to Bosnia is a prime example. If anyone else had told such a bald-faced lie, they’d be called out by the Clinton Campaign and branded long and loudly as a liar, but her majesty merely ‘misspoke’.
Her claims that she made so many trips abroad to so many places that her memory of the exact events of any one trip ‘might’ be a bit unclear, is laughable at best.
Unclear my aunt Fanny, she lied and she got caught.
Those of us who are registered in the ‘elephant party’ are completely NOT surprised by her majesty’s lies. For us it is Clinton business as usual, but those in the ‘jackass party’ are either; a, defending their candidate’s “slipping memory”, or b, feverishly trying to spin it into a plus for the pretender to the throne.
I for one am just about over this whole ridiculous thing. Clinton and Obama are spinning their wheels, and the longer this nonsense continues, the deeper they dig the Democratic Party into the mud. Head Dems are trying to get Clinton to withdraw from the race, but with her overblown sense of entitlement, she is refusing, adamantly. Obama is hell bent and determined to take this nomination and Clinton is just as determined to steal it in any way she can.
As this comedy of errors continues into the spring and early summer, all the Democrats are doing is solidifying those Republicans who were having second thoughts about McCain. He may be a bit too liberal for the more conservative Republicans, but at least, even with his advanced age, his memory seems to be pretty much intact, and his brain apparently is fully engaged BEFORE his mouth goes in gear. Well, except for that little 'slip' about iran and al Queda, but hey we all have slips of the tongue, right?
Likewise, the Independents who were undecided are having their vision cleared almost daily.
The longer this ‘race’ continues, the choice of party logos becomes clearer. Jackasses indeed!
I’ll say one thing for the Democrats though, when the writer’s strike created a comedic void in television watching, they managed to step in and fill the void.
“And the Emmy for best comedy goes to…… The Democratic Party.
Thanks guys. We needed a good laugh.
