Mainstream media (MSM) now under inditement and Obama isn't even in office yet!!

When Gov.Palin was chosen for  VP the media flocked to Alaska to uncover every stone, and we ended up with a nutcase brother-in-law, and pregnant daughter.  Tried to hang the bridge to nowhere around her neck.

Joe the Plumber gets raked over the coals by some local govt. officials that tried to defend their actions, and ended up in hot water for it.

McCain's supposed to have had an affair according to the NY Times, and now fighting a 27 Million dollar lawsuit from the woman they tried to destroy.

HOWEVER, the investigations and "vetting" process seems to stop at Obama's door!  NOBODY investigated Gov. Richardson's financial dealings when he ran for President himself, but now must step down AFTER Obama chooses him for a cabinet position?  Why?  Obama's connection to Resko is far worse and that was ok...  Obama's selection for his Senate seat had to recend herself from selection, and we now have a HUGE Democrat mess from Chicago to New Mexico!  Hillary Clinton has issues now with donations vs. a shopping mall development by a REPUBLICAN donator! 

And if thats not enough, MORE Clinton administration brought onboard today with good ole Leo to run the CIA?  WHAT!!!  The man knows NOTHING of intel!  (then again, nobody in the Clinton machine did...)

All of this goes on, and the media just refuses to be objective!  So arrogant is the MSM that they while loosing subscriptions, add space purchase, and audience numbers dropping to the point of bankruptsy, STILL so far in the tank, with their decades old liberal slant, can't help themselves! 

 

So help me out here folks!  President ELECT Obama is keeping his distance on overseas affairs because he is NOT the President yet... OK  Then how is it, he can talk about his domestic policy before taking office?  Obama is carving out his stimulus package BEFORE he is President, but unable to speak to actions with policy to ongoing war, Israel and Hamas!  What I smell here is the thrid term of Clinton administration that as it was in the 90s too scared to comit to anything in the middle east again! 

President Obama, how is it Gov. Richardson of NM can step away from appointment because of an ongoing investigation into financial dealings HE HAD EVEN WHEN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT HIMSELF!!  Did you think the good ole mainstream media would be able to keep a lid on it for ya?  Afterall, Obama sir, you have ties to very simular financial dealings with Resko and he was CONVICTED of his crimes, and that didn't stop you?

Finally, just wondering who on the Democrat side got a judge to hold off on Fitgerald's Inditement of your state Gov until well after your inaguration!  Seems the man had to expose his investigation quite abruptly when the good Gov. just might have actually sold the Senate seat, and had to blow the case open before someone actually took up the deal, and NOW we need an extension because the case isn't ready?

Sniff......Sniff..... Oh now that REALLY has a foul smell to it!!

This is going to be one FANTASTIC 2 years of "draining the swamp" as Pelsoi put it! 

 

Once again President Bush has to step in and make the hard decissions and actually negotiate legislation between Autoworkers and Unions after Congress and Speaker Pelosi fail to get the job done!  People claiming that Bush lied about the use of the initial bailout funds, are in denial that because the Congress couldn't get the work done he had no choice.  Congress now out of secession, there is not other pot of money to reach into for the emergent situation of the industry.

Thank you Speaker Pelosi for nothing!  When you announce that bankruptsy is off the table in YOUR chance to get the job done, you effectively gave Unions a leg up not afforded to an industry you have crippled with your latest mandated enviromental standards.  Had the Congress put the interest of the industry and its workers ahead of their own political ambitions with the unions, then the one leg of negotiations (unions) might have taken this event seriously.

I suggest now that the Unions now take down their Obama/Democrat banners in their meeting halls and put up a picture of the man who with his skills and elected powers forced everyone to work together.  It was not the job of the Executive Branch to do this, but I must stand up and applaude Bush for stepping up, and once again taking on the tasks that a Democrat majority failed to complete!

THAT just might be his legacy... since day one ... from Defending this nation from enemies already waging war on us, to having to clean up economic disasters that he spent years warning would come. 

Using money that was initially set in place to deal with Barney Franks and Chris Dodd's Freddie/Fannie distruction, where Democrats AGAIN refused to manage a solution to with their majority, then found the receivers of said funds using them for other than the intended purpose, I think Bush taking some back and giving it to someone else that needed it was a good move.  It also give the new administration a couple months before they might have to deal with the auto industry.

Caroline Kennedy now openly seeking pursuit of Hillary Clinton's Senate seat for the state of New York.  Why not...  Its evident that  New York with the ever increasing taxes, unemployment, and political scandal along with its close cousins of New Jersey have had a history.  We can't say shes not a true New Yorker since Hillary was the successful carpetbagger from Arkansas and husband's legacy and greasing of the skids by passing out pardons to FMLA Puerto Rican terrorist to get the vote support of that group, among other examples.

Some say she doesn't have experience.  Well, experience as a requirement was tossed out the window for national politics during the last election.  History shows that Sen. Ted Kennedy got his seat back in the day when his brother John after winning the Presidency put his college room mate in the seat he vacated, until Teddy became available for the position, and was hence  smoothly elected into that office later.

Some will say, why does she not take her Uncle's seat and have him retire since his health situation is critical, and would be sure to win a sympathetic vote in MA aka Kennedyland!   With the Kennedy endorcement of Obama during the election, its amazing politically interesting that the Clinton machine is playing this game.

Watching the political manuvering on the Democrat side is becomming quite entertaining!  With all the backroom "backscratching" going on, why are we seeing the public execution of a Gov. from Obamaland? 

Looks like mainstream media now days is unable to keep all these little issues close to the vest anymore, and we are now seeing for the first time in American history, the "making of the sausage" in politics.

Acknowleging that with thousands on this board every day (see top right corner of screen) we can safely assume that not everyone's opinions are going to mesh together.

I have respect for anyone that comes to a position on anything so long as they have done so in an intellectually honest and factually complete way. 

That said, we have some here that manipulate the blog by censoring(blocking) comment other than their own, or deleting others with facts or information to debate the topic.  That too is fine.  The issue at hand is when a topic has been selected for the main board for all to see, and when it is abusive, false, misleading, or otherwise incorrect, and the author blocks any/all comments to address it,  the webteam has a responsibility to either remove that topic from the main board, or interject.

The only recourse to no action is to cut/paste the topic onto a different profile that allows for a dialog to ensue, and provide others the opportunity to opine, and the initial author to defend.  When however the web moderator(s) scrub this last resort, they in effect are supporting the blog to an editorial page.  If that was my interest, than thats were I would spend my time!

IMHO, I believe ALL topics selected for the main board should have a free and open opportunity for people to engage it.  AKA dialog on a blog forum!

So now that bloggers have been given the capacity to screen their own comments, and the abuse by LIBERAL bloggers of this capacity to censor facts, context, or perspective that opposes their view, the webteam now is stripping conservative view from conservative bloggers.

I want to applaude the myfox webteam for their support of blog DIALOG here.  From scrubbing the exposure of Anti-American Iranian Professors at UCF, to assisting radically liberal bloggers here from ever having to defend their thesis.  Meanwhile conservatives continue to keep their debate skills sharp, as every attack of ANY nature is allowed upon them.

Its expected from the liberal left here since their forums either go bankrupted or loose so many readers and subscriptions, the left wing message has no choice but to come to a more popular site and hijack its readers.  Instead of balanced monitoring of the site, the webteam continues to practice a quite partisan approach.

Intellectual honesty evidently is not a class requirement with Journalism anymore, and instead the likes of Bill Ayers is embraced and even encouraged.

Thats fine.  I and many others defended your right to a free voice while ours was suppressed, and we had to handle it then, and can do so now.  Meanwhile we have libs posting in font big enough to choke a horse that is hidding its cut/paste from radical sites. (Take the next liberal's initial post, cut the first sentence off and post it in Google or Yahoo, and check out the actual sites that the material comes from...) 

I guess the rules here and TOS only apply to those the webteam chooses...

Thanks again for all your support webteam.

Patrick Fitzgerald the prosecuter that is portrayed as hard, fair, and non-partisan IS ANYTHING BUT!!  Even FOX NEWS gets it wrong!

Fitzgerald  was in the lime light when he took down Scooter Libby during an investigation into a leak of Valerie Plame's "covert" CIA status, and Democrats raised him as a hero.  The problem back then was it was a witch hunt set in motion by the left, and while Fitzgerald ALREADY knew the name of the actual leaker, HE KEPT THE CASE OPEN and after failing to bring down Carl Rove, or Cheney, ended up with a lame case against Scooter Libby!

So why now when the trail on the Gov of IL, trying to sell Obama's Senate seat did Fitzgerald blow the case wide open and spring the trap BEFORE anyone could "purchase" the Senate seat and catch ALL  the corrupt bad guys?  Why not leave the case open like you did with Republicans in your crosshairs to see if you could snare anyone else! 

Fitzgerald closed up ANY opportunity to snare more people on the trail, which would have been Democrats and the longer the investigation had remained open, the deeper we would have gotten into the typical Chicago style crime, but that would have been too damaging to the party evidently!

Sorry, while I await for Nancy Pelosi to "drain the swamp" it appears that she and the rest of the Democrats are not liking what they see as the water drops!

Here we go!!  Chicago Tribuine today filed for bankruptsy protection!  The outrageous and radically biased papers that have seen record falling perscriptions, and addvertisement drop, are now going bankrupt!

Ironic that the Chicago Tribuine would be first!  Obama Land!

So Obama says that he does not plan on worrying about the Deficit for two years.  Wow!

Lets translate that:  I can't give out all the money I want, and keep all my promises of entitlements to everyone and provide a stim pkg. to everyone unless I forget about the deficit.  Obama plans on trying to be all things to all people so that he stays in favor along with the Democrat party until the end of the next election in 2 years.  The anti-war crowd now raising cane for taking the Bush style approach to Afganistan, keeping the current Sec.Def.  Obama knows all too well that it was Bush tactics and policy that kept us from having anohter attack here, and any attack after Jan.20th will be put right on the Democrats, and surely Republicans will run on it.

So Obama will beef up or at the least maintain Bush style defense postures, but plans on buying the support back with free money.  The anti-war / student age libs will change their tune when they get a check in the mail.

This is why Republicans made a FATAL mistake in supporting the first bailout package that was an emergency, and now not only didn't work, but has opened pandora's box for bailouts!   

President Obama (Hey.. he earned it) will now find out the hard way the difference between being popular to the people, and being a leader of people...

What a crying shame!  Are we so selfish, and easily hyped up by discounts and free materials that we must breakdown the doors of a store and literally trample people to death?  Of course I am sure that there were other stores in the nation that injured people today, but of course the media can't miss bad news for "Big Walmart" the non-union success story in America.

Democrats now scrambling to get support for the Auto industry bailout, actually are pulling the "Defense card" and saying if the "BIG 3" fall that our enemies will see us as weak and laugh at us (Jackson-Lee on FOX) and others saying that we would loose the capacity to make tanks?  Really?  Meanwhile you are rolling in ALL of the former Clinton administration that took the military down by 47% by the end of 1997, and prior to the auto industry hearings, Chairman Barney Franks who is neck deep in causing the initial colapse with Fannie/Freddie, called for reducing the military by 25% anyways!

How do you explain a 25% cut in the Defense as not a problem but auto industry not being bailed out a crippling of the Defense Dept?  Fact is, Democrats have been in bed with Labor Unions for over 50 years now.  Domestic steel was on life support back when Bush was comming into office, and the "rust belt" lost a ton of jobs!  The defense of auto industry to fail would cost many other industries to fail as well, yet why was their not a call for the bailout of the housing industry with all the unionized bricklayers, carpenters, etc. Nobody cared that appliance makers would go under, Home Depot/Lowes would suffer, etc.  Maybe if they had done this it would have exposed people like Franks and Dodd who have been concealing the socialization of the housing market until it imploded.

I can't wait to see how they plan on trying to blame Bush for this!  The economy didn't start to crumble until Democrats had their first full year in office after 2006!  I tell ya, this is gonna be something to watch!

Come on folks! Stop letting people tell you how to think! Here is my critical thinking skills.. for your review:

Sarah Palin win or loose was tested for acceptance and was overwelmingly embraced. (McCain had to bring her.. RNC wanted her)

Now with Sen. Stevens winning, should he have to step down, The Gov. of Alaska CAN APPOINT HERSELF to that position, and be in place for 6 very long conservative years! Like Barbara Boxer being recently re-elected in 06 became the attack dog for libs, Palin could be the thorn in the Democrats side for the ENTIRE Obama administration, and STILL have 2 years left to campaign for her own spot in 2016!

She might if GOP shifts in 4 years become SPEAKER, with Romney or Louisianna's Gov. Bobby Jendel, running as a STRONG ticket! ALL new fresh GOP faces! ALL already vetted!

That light at the end of the tunnel.... Democrats know EXACTLY what it is, and they know they really only have about 4 years to change the Supreme Court, and will even bring back the Nucelar Option to kill the 60 vote fillabuster rule that Republicans were too scared to do!  That will be about the only thing that will take generations to fix, but Republicans are already in the search process for "new blood" and its there...  The media will be so busy running damage control, that they will finally be dismissed as the complete partisan quacks they are,  (Chris Matthews illustrated this yesterday..)

Russia today has placed the blame of the international economy crisis in the lap of the US.  (I bet Barney Franks and Chriss Dodd never expected this....)   Russia also says it will electronically jam any missile defense system in Poland, and the efforts to scrap the last remaining nuke forces in Russia are now off the table!

Remember now that post Cold War, Democrats scrapped our military just as they did after WWII dispite the warings of others.  Russia took the lessons they learned from Reagan destroying them, and immediately began to rebuild.  Russia now is the largest exporter of Oil, exceeding the middle east! (hence their feelings right now on dropping oil prices)  Russia obviously smells the blood in the water (aka bailout, and deficit)  and is about to take full advantage.

THIS IS THE EXCUSE THAT OBAMA WILL USE TO RAISE TAXES ON EVERYONE!!!  Russia has been playing this game for YEARS and Democrats have refused to heed any warnings as they blocked energy bills, and regulation of banking and financials as minority and then in 2006 took over and threw out any chances of avoiding this crisis even as late as last year when Barney Franks informed us all was well!  THE SAME MAN THAT WANTS TO REDUCE THE MILITARY BY 25%!!!

Here comes the first in a very long series of "WE TOLD YOU SOs!"

So no suprise that Sen. Biden has once again made some statment that has Democrats racing to the damage control button.  The main issue (according to what the media wants you to think it is) that Obama will be tested.  Somewhere in the first 6 months.  The media steers this to the idea that the Republicans will say McCain would never be tested, and then the back and forth starts.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT TAKE:

Sen. Biden went on in his statement, the media isn't reporting it!

That while we are tested, Obama will respond. OK

THAT MANY WILL NOT LIKE WHAT THE RESPONSE IS,  IT MIGHT BE UNPOPULAR,  BUT IT WILL BE NECESSARY!

Well well  well!!!!  Hey Joe.. are you suggesting that military action, even unilateral action, and extension of troop tours, and going into battle without an exit plan, OR a date certain MIGHT BE REQUIRED?   Are you saying Joe, that the work that Bush has had to do, even after all the obstruction from Democrats the whole way, just might have been a necessary evil?

Are ya sayin Joe, that military operations anymore with the new media, simply can't be hidden from the average citizen like it was in Vietnam any longer, and that IF you were to be in office that because you no longer have a monopoly on the media, that people will see you doing EXACTLY the same thing the Bush administration had to do?

Let the TRUTH be told!

Mark Foley's democrat successor caught in sex scandal? Florida congressman Tim Mahoney allegedly paid more than $100,000 to his ex-mistress and former staff aide who sued after he threatened her job.

Mahoney won his congressional seat in 2006 after Republican Mark Foley, a Republican, was forced to resign in the wake of a scandal involving a congressional page.

Mahoney, who is married, started an affair with Patricia Allen while campaigning against Foley on a morality platform. Allen came on to his staff after he won the election in 2006.

Allen tried to break off the affair after learning Mahoney was supposedly cheating on her and his wife with other women. In response to her wanting to end the relationship...Mahoney threatened her job.

"You work at my pleasure," Mahoney told Allen in a taped Jan. 20, 2008, telephone call in which Mahoney also said "I am the judge and jury in this" and "You don't have any say in this."

It's widely argued that Mahoney won in 2006 less on his own merit than because of the scandal surrounding Foley.

What should happen next to Congressman Mahoney, and will the Democratic press and pundits make as big a deal about this they did the Foley scandal?
