Poor Hillary

I feel so sorry for Hillary. This lady is now experiencing first hand what every conservative politician has become accustomed to...complete opposition by the media.

It must suck for democrats to wake up and find out that they don't get a free pass anymore. Hillary has thrived by not having to explain her actions. Now, all of the sudden, she is not the golden child anymore.

Ever since Bush II was re-elected in 04, she has been told by everyone and their dog that she was a shoe-in for the democratic nomination and probably the presidency. Now here comes one term Obama, who is about to hand Hillary her walking papers.

The media is ready to lynch Mrs. Clinton over these comments she made about landing in Bosnia amid sniper fire while she was first lady. Apparently, Hillary was less than honest about the exact circumstances of her visit. Does this surprise anyone?

What is hilarious, is that this is not the worst, or most damning lie Hillary ever told. Compared to the Watergate scandal, this is nothing.

What makes it even better, is how if Hillary over dramatizes an insignificant event as first lady, the Media shuns her; but Obama receives "spiritual" instruction from a racist anti-American, anti-Semite, for over 20 years, and the media can't stop praising his name. That shouldn't suprise anyone either. The venom that Rev. Wright spouts is music to the ears of the left. This is exactly what they want. I love how they call it church.

What is even better is that the Republican party nominated a no-talent hack because he was "most-likely" to beat Hillary. Hillary getting the Dem nod would have been the best thing in the world for the Republicans. Now they will get exactly what they deserve

Mitt Romney as VEEP???

I have spoken to several Mittheads who are cursing and spitting nails over the "Republican" nomination of John McCain. Like any true conservative, they are upset because the Republican party, rather than nominate a true conservative with the experience and know-how needed at this crucial time, chose to nominate a 120 year old no-talent political hack who's only notable achievement was getting shot down during vietnam. Well...that's not true. He has come out with some pretty good legislation. Everyone is just ablaze about how wonderful McCain-Feingold has been (note my sarcasm). In fact, the only people who don't like McCain's legislation are those darn pesky conservatives. They should learn that just because you vote for someone, doesn't mean that they actually have to do what you want them to do.

So now I have heard several former Mittheads say that they will only vote for McCain if he chooses a good solid conservative to be his running mate, and that wouldn't it be just spectacular if he offered that spot to Mitt himself? This would be great because then Mitt would be able to keep Liberal John under control and have some good influence in the area of economics, an area to which McCain has admitted having no understading for, and he would get the name recognition which would set him up for another bid in four to eight years.

First of all, remember freshman government. The VP has no real power. His job is to show up at charity dinners and give speaches at the events that the president doesn't want to go to. He is like the looser guy in the rock star's entourage that hangs out to get the left over girls. The only reason Cheney had so much influence over Bush is because Bush valued his opinion. Knowing what we know about McCain's feelings toward Romney, I seriously doubt that McCain would listen to anyone but the voices in his head.

Secondly, if by some magic supernatural event, John McCain is elected president. He will most assuredly be a bad one. Why would any self respecting politician, especially one who wants to appeal to conservative Americans, want to associate himself with someone like John McCain. That is about as smart as boarding a New York to LA flight on a plane that is missing an engine. You can hope that you'll get there in one piece, but chances are your going to find yourself in a horrible fireball of death. Mitt Romney would be smart to keep his distance from McCain, and if he does accept a Veep offer, pray to God that McCain has his 80 year old rear end handed to him in November. At least that way Romney gets the name recognition without having to spend eight years watching McCain flush the economy down the toilet.

The only positive to a VP Romney would be in the event that McCain bought it. This would be the only way this election could turn out positive. However, it is generally poor practice to base your country's future on the possibility of someone dieing. We need a better plan.

Mitt, we love you. We want you to run again. Just stay away from McCain.

What are conservatives to do?

I have said many times, the economy is the number one issue in this election. More important than Iraq, health care, and all the other "toy topics" that the media likes to bring up. That being said, the spot that we are in did not come about simply in the last eight years as the democratic party would love for us to believe. Both parties have failed the American people when it comes to our country's financial security.

The Democrats, since FDR during the great depression, have made it their number one policy to secure elections by convincing voters that it is the government's job to provide for it's citizens and growing government in the process. High school textbooks will never talk about FDR's policies in any critical light because to the liberal, he is bigger that Jesus. No other US president has been as successful in making as many people dependent upon the government as Roosevelt. The worst thing that FDR did was not change the government, it was that he changed the culture. Up to that point, you either worked and saved or you starved. No one else could be blamed or held responsible if you failed to take care of yourself. After FDR, people discovered that they could turn to the government for assistance if they needed. Now as government has expanded, offering more entitlements, people are becoming less inclined to work for an honest day's living, because for many, especially the lower-class, it is more lucrative to be poor and collect a welfare check than to find a way out of poverty. The democrats love to tell people that they are trapped in their situation because of their race, religion, parents, circumstances, what ever. Why do the democrats have the black vote? Because the black community has been convinced that they cannot grow past their station. Now many of them don't even try. And because it is the democratic party that continues to look for new ways to reward poor people for being poor, they will always have the majority of the poor vote. Their tactics are entirely based on class warefare. They convince the poor that the reason they are poor is because the "mean rich white people" are hogging all the money. What is the solution? Tax the rich! Get em! Take their money and give it to the poor (not forgetting to take a chunk along the way, even Robin Hood needed a Lexus).

The left wants you to belive that all rich men are evil swindlers, and all poor people are honest hard workers who can't catch a break 'cause the "man" has got them down. The funny thing is that "redistribution of wealth" sounds nice on paper, but in reality it only acts as incentive for people to stay poor. Why would any poor person who is getting earned income credit, food stamps, free health care, and subsidized housing want to go and get a better job, or encourage their children to get a better job when all that waits for them is Uncle Sam waiting to take a big bite out of their hard earned money. So the poor become dependent upon the government for their livelihoods and are compelled to vote for officials who will increase their entitlements, thus reinforcing a growing population who are fully supported by those citizens who feel it their duty to work for a living despite what the government tells them.

The Republicans have failed us too. While the left is bent on growing government. The Republicans sit by and let it happen. We have not had a truly conservative president in 20 years. Bush was completely content to focus on other less important matters rather than stabilizing our economic situation. Many in the republican party have swallowed the left's rhetoric that corporations are evil and need to be taxed into oblivion. This falls right in line with the whole "class warfare/evil rich men" idea. Those people make too much money, and it is the government's job to take it away and give it to people who "deserve it more". Once again it sounds like a good idea but it only results in companies moving overseas (and taking their jobs with them) where the regulation is not as stringent. Are we suprised though? We say "ha ha rich people! You have to pay for everyone's meal!" The rich person says, "I think not", and goes somewhere else to to eat, and we are left looking around for someone to pick up the bill. None of us can afford to pay it. What do we do now.

The Republicans have been voted into office to combat the policies of the left, and rather than doing what they were hired to do, they embraced the left's polices because they realized that it is easier to stay in power when you have an electorate that is dependent on you. They also realized that the number of governmental dependents is growing exponentially while the number of hard working, contributing citizens is dwindling. Is there any question as to why the republican nominee is John McCain? McCain is the nominee because the Republicans liked how he appealed to moderates and independents. They liked how he appealed to non-conservatives. They knew that the conservatives would vote republican with out thought, so they found a candidate that would shine in the eyes of the left. McCain certainly does that. The man hates conservatives. The only thing that he has maintained a conservative stance on is the war, and who knows how long that will last considering how much he likes to "reach across the aisle". McCain is by far the scariest candidate because not only would he further trash the economy (which he has both admitted in his words and demonstrated by his policy that he knows nothing about) but the Republican's would get the blame, ensuring a Democratic/Socialist government for the next 20 years.

So now what do we do? What can conservatives do? Some have talked about voting Democrat under the mantra that if the country is going to be destroyed, let it happen under a democrat's watch. I can't say that I completely disagree with that. But I would prefer to vote for someone who's policies I can support, even if it means voting for someone who doesn't have a prayer of winning. In the long term situation, conservatives have to send a message to the republican party that they cannot win without us, and that we will not vote for any candidate who will not defend our ideals. The Republicans believe that conservatives will vote for anyone as long as they have an R behind their name. We must annihilate this belief.

If conservatives take a stand and vote for a non-republican. It will send a message to the Republican establishment that they cannot rely on our vote unless they deliver what they have promised. This means of course that the Democrats will win this election. However, it also means that next time around we might actually get a nominee who will fight for conservative values, giving us true leadership and defending our freedoms
