mental health
November 30, 2007
Not usre how scientific this is, but I will take it:
Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and Healthcare polls. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of Democrats.
Murtha -new strategy?
November 30, 2007
U..S. Rep. John Murtha today said he saw signs of military progress during a brief trip to Iraq last week, but he warned that Iraqis need to play a larger role in providing their own security and the Bush administration still must develop an exit strategy.“I think the ’surge’ is working,” the Democrat said in a videoconference from his Johnstown office, describing the president’s decision to commit more than 20,000 additional combat troops this year. But the Iraqis “have got to take care of themselves.”
John you won’t keep many of your frined s happy at Huffington if you continue to try to stay on the right polical tide.
Hillary Infiltrates Republican Debate
November 29, 2007
CNN has hit a journalistic low. They even have cut out evidence of the singers in their rebroadcast of the debates. Over at Malkin, Michelle declares:
Abortion questioner is declared Edwards supporter (and a slobbering Anderson Cooper fan); Log Cabin Republican questioner is declared Obama supporter; lead toy questioner is a prominent union activist for the Edwards-endorsing United Steelworkers

The retired general who asked about gays and lesbians serving in the military at the CNN/YouTube Republican debate on Wednesday is a co-chairman of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s National Military Veterans group.

We are voting for the Leader of the free world and CNN gives us this crap. First of all don’t even get me started on a YouTube debate. Like we are supposed to believe the people are really getting a voice. Yah Right!
Maybe we are voting for the Leader of the 3rd World Countries as Texas immigrants are here illegally 50% of the time.
Half of the nearly 3.5 million immigrants living in Texas are in the country illegally, the Center for Immigration Studies says in a report being released today.
Based on the latest Census Bureau data, the report said Texas has one of the fastest-growing immigrant populations of any state. It said that 50 percent of the state’s foreign-born population — slightly more than 1.7 million people — are illegal immigrants. Only Arizona at 65 percent, North Carolina at 58 percent and Georgia at 53 percent had a higher proportion of illegal immigrants in their immigrant populations.
30% in Florida.

There is a reason Mexico is like living in a Godfather Movie. Stories of people snatching tourists goods and money from moving cars. Taking cadavers and stuffing them with drugs to smuggle across the border. Policia stealing from tourists.
We have grown because we are a nation of Laws. Mexico is a 3rd World Country because they are not a Nation of Laws.
What are we advertising to the world and to ourselves when 1/2 of our influx of new “workers” are here against the law? What are these people brining to the table? Crime?
Look at the jails they are mostly filled with illegals. Do we have to guess why? They broke the law coming here, can we guess what they will do once here?
Meanwhile our biggest name candidate for President and others are planting shills. And the Network entrusted to report this HUGE news covers it up.
The striking writers down the street could not make a better movie plot even if they got a raise. This is good stuff and CNN slips it under the rug. Oh yah. Because it wasn’t a Republican caught with their hand in the Cookie jar. It was their team.
Banana Republic we stand.
Recession what stinking recession?
November 28, 2007
Wall Street barreled higher Wednesday for the second day in a row, giving the Dow Jones industrial average its biggest two-day point gain five years after a Federal Reserve official hinted that the central bank may lower interest rates again
And more on the economy:
According to a report by The Conference Board, about 73 million US households now have discretionary (spendable) income, up from about 57 million in 2002. Total discretionary income in the US topped $1.7 trillion in 2006, with the household average at $24,335. Per capita income stood at $9,148.
Discretionary income are those people whose spendable income exceeds that held by households with similar demographic features. The proportion of the US population with discretionary income has increased to nearly 64%, up from 52% in 2002.
This coupled with Black Friday and Cybe rMonday breaking all records this is an interesting time indeed.
Great economy, great news from Iraq………….What do the Dems have to bitch about other than their poor numbers in Congress.
King Of Waffle
November 28, 2007
Well Bill Clinton is reminding us of what we will get with a Hillary Whyite House.
Full blown Arkansas Waffles. Only the kind that Bill and Hill can cook up.
Bill was for the war from the start:
That’s why I supported the Iraq thing. There was a lot of stuff unaccounted for. So I thought the President had an absolute responsibility to go to the U.N. and say, “Look, guys, after 9/11, you have got to demand that Saddam Hussein lets us finish the inspection process.” You couldn’t responsibly ignore [the possibility that] a tyrant had these stocks.
But he was always against it:
Advisers to Mr. Clinton said yesterday that he did oppose the war, but that it would have been inappropriate at the time for him, a former president, to oppose — in a direct, full-throated manner — the sitting president’s military decision.
So did he…gulp…lie?
Thanks to Drudge for the Waffle report!

Donna Brazile who ran Gore’s Presidential bid says:
“I think it’s going to come down to: Do you really want Bill Clinton back in the White House?” said Donna Brazile, who ran Democrat Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign.
He can help and also seriously hurt those he gets close too.
Meanwhile the Archbishop of Canter-Dissaray calls the” United States wields its power in a way that is worse than Britain during its imperial heyday”. For those Euro elitists: lose the speed dial when you need us to spill blood to save your keesters, when the next version of Adolph comes rolling through.
Black Friday yileded a record when all predictions by experts(take that to mean I hope Bush fails again) said it would be modest if any growth at all:
The nation’s retailers had a robust start to the holiday shopping season, according to results announced Saturday by a national research group that tracks sales at retail outlets across the country.
According to ShopperTrak RCT Corp., which tracks sales at more than 50,000 retail outlets, total sales rose 8.3 percent to about $10.3 billion on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, compared with $9.5 billion on the same day a year ago. ShopperTrak had expected an increase of no more than 4 percent to 5 percent.
Sounds like same ole same ole.
Iraqui Changes make for Democrat Dilusions
November 23, 2007
Washington Post:
Iraqis are returning to their homeland by the hundreds each day, by bus, car and plane, encouraged by weeks of decreased violence and increased security, or compelled by visa and residency restrictions in neighboring countries and the depletion of their savings.
Under the improved security, Iraqis are gingerly testing how far their new liberties allow them to go. But they are also facing many barriers, geographical and psychological, hardened by violence and mistrust..
From Hugh Hewitt:
Al-Qaeda in Iraq is in disarray, the Sunni insurgency in decline, the Shiite militias quiescent, the capital city reviving. Are we now to reverse course and abandon all this because parliament cannot ratify the reconciliation already occurring on the ground?
The Dems in Congress have blown their opportunity. They grabbed Congress and reminded us all of their false promises and fraud. They have reminded us of thier playbook tactics. Make the opponent look like you are. The rich are the bad guys and they are Republicans but as my last post proves the Dems are the Rich.
Lie about Iraq and say the President lied. Lie and say our General betrayed us. The game is soon to be over.
