Election 2006, Election 2008

"A time for choosing: It appears that a significant number of our members are so disgusted with the GOP's failure to secure our borders against illegal aliens that they are willing to risk all by voting them out of office, even if it means Pelosi, Reid, Hillary, et al, are allowed to take charge. Is this the best course of action or should we be working harder than ever to hold the line and actually try to make a difference by getting more constitutionally-minded conservatives elected? Are you willing to give it all up or are you more determined than ever to keep the Marxists out of power?"

Hillary has publicly put the DNC on notice that the MI and FL delegates will be counted, and dares it to disenfranchise both states at the convention.

[caution: it’s an old MiaT topic]

“If you look at white women, and I think that was the key to this election, Kerry won 45% based on the exit polls—but they’re generally in agreement—Kerry won 45%, Bush won 55% of white women. By contrast, Bush won only 45% of white women in 2000, so he upped is percentages by 10 points. In 1996, bill clinton won 48% of white women compared to Bob Dole’s 43%. That is a huge, huge difference. I don’t think you can lay all that at the doorstep of moral values. I think that this president unabashedly and abjectly took the issue of terror and used it to terrorize... white women.”

[snip] Then political reality set in and Obama’s campaign office in Sacramento “pruned” the Copenhavers from the list of running delegates. Margaret said she and her husband were given no explanation, though she has her theories. “We believe they’ve already picked delegates they want to win,” she told the Ledger Dispatch Thursday. “They don’t know Ray or I. We live in a rural county. We’re strangers to them.” [end]

UCI Psychiatrist Bilked by Nigerian E-Mails
(had claimed Reagan had diminished mental ability)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1588389/posts

[snip] A renowned psychiatrist from UC Irvine was duped into squandering at least $1.3 million of his family’s fortune on a Nigeria Internet scam, according to a lawsuit recently filed by his son.

...Louis Gottschalk, a neuroscientist, is the founding chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at UCI College of Medicine. He gained national prominence by announcing in 1987 that President Reagan had been suffering from diminished mental ability as early as 1980.

He came to this conclusion by using the Gottschalk-Gleser scales, an internationally used diagnostic tool he helped develop for charting impairments in brain function, to measure speech patterns in Reagan’s 1980 and 1984 presidential debates.

In 1997, Gottschalk gave $1.5 million to the UCI College of Medicine. In exchange, school officials named the medical plaza after him and his late wife.

More recently, Gottschalk coinvented software that uncovered a link between childhood attention-deficit disorder and adult addiction to alcohol and drugs. And in 2004, at age 87, he published his latest book, “World War II: Neuropsychiatric Casualties, Out of Sight, Out of Mind.” [end]
