DUBOB 11- more tales from the Dark UnderBelly Of the Beast...
various links and websites | 01-31-03 | The Heavy Equipment Guy

Posted on 01/31/2003 5:07:21 PM PST by backhoe

At the request of members, I am restarting those "Tales from the Dark UnderBelly Of the Beast"-- the stories and issues that the press and media either ignore, won't even talk about, or will mention once and forevermore claim "it's old news..."

Naturally, some will be stories which interest me, or things I think we all need to be aware of.

I am experimenting with a minor change in presentation- when I can, I will cut to

-GoogleNewsBeta--

with a keyword or two and see what kind of links to "mainstream" stories I can find in contrast to what we see here and on other sites.

May I remind you of a couple of points to bear in mind?
Each link usually has many other links within- follow them all to get "the rest of the story."
Don't forget the "open multiple browsers" trick with control-n -- this allows you to hold your place with one, and use the others to follow links, run searches, etc.

Rather than go back and rehash old links, I'll give you links to the original posts here:

-DUBOB 10- the *best of* the Dark Underbelly Series--

-DUBOB 9-- even *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast..... --

DUBOB 8-- still *more* tales from the Underbelly***

More muscle tactics here. Neoneocon says at least Joe is not a bitter clinger

UPDATE II: Ace points out the effect of the chill wind. Tim Robbins was just 7 years early, and warning about the wrong folks.

UPDATE III: Lorie Byrd has a straight-talking column:

Some liberal bloggers went after Joe the Plumber saying he didn’t even make $250,000 and that he would receive a tax cut under Barack Obama’s plan, supposedly proving “Joe the Plumber” was a Republican lie. Here is what Joe said in the exchange with Obama: “I’m getting ready to buy a company that makes about 250, 270-80 thousand dollars a year. Your new tax plan is going to tax me more isn’t it?” So much for the Republican lie. Joe told Obama that he was planning on buying a company, which he hoped would put him in that $250,000 or more income range in the future, which prompted Obama’s response about spreading the wealth around. By choosing that line of attack, those on the left proved what many of us on the right already believed – that they don’t “get” the basic concept of the American dream.

You’ll want to read it all.

The Sun is now in the quietest phase of its 11-year activity cycle, the solar minimum - in fact, it has been unusually quiet this year - with over 200 days so far with no observed sunspots. The solar wind has also dropped to its lowest levels in 50 years. Scientists are unsure of the significance of this unusual calm, but are continually monitoring our closest star with an array of telescopes and satellites.

ANGRY PLUMBERS wave plungers at Obama.

RAGING PLUMBERS Wave Plungers At Obama Outside Rally

Plumbers revolt!

CNN reported today that a group of "plumbers" waved plungers at Obama in Virginia.

** Here's more on the raging plumbers.

They were all wearing "I am Joe the Plumber" shirts.
There were no reports on half moon sightings when they bent over.

About 6,500 showed up to see The One. The center holds 10,500.
The crowd booed McCain- This did not appear to make any national headlines.

Meanwhile... John McCain defended "Joe the Plumber" from the outrageous Far Left/media attacks since the Ohio plumber who dared to question Barack Obama:
 
"All you liberals take notice, because one day you may disagree with the Obamamessiah, and when that happens, don't think that you won't be savaged just as viciously as this regular American Joe was."
 
"The MSM has investigated Joe the Plumber more in the last 2 days than they have investigated Obama in the last 2 years. Sure Joe uses his middle name he obviously is not ashamed of it as Barack Hussein Obama is."
 

What would it be like with a President Obama?

MORE: Mess with Obama, and you'll never plumb in this town again.

 
APPARENTLY, OBAMA THINKS YOU SHOULD BE prosecuted for even making claims of voter fraud.

Even Jill (Mess with Obama, and you'll never plumb in this town again) got it wrong.

..John McCain hung his final presidential debate performance on an Ohio plumber who campaign aides never vetted...

vetted?? Scuze me, But Joe could've been Karl Rove or the Son of Sam, the entire point was that this regular dude got The One to spill his marxist agenda in one simple question. I fully expect the media to destroy that man's life.

Props to McCain for getting it right (John McCain defended "Joe the Plumber")

He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks.

SECRET SERVICE EXPLODES ANOTHER POPULAR MYTH: Secret Service Denies Blocking Reporters at Palin Rallies. Really, the reporting this election seems even worse than last time around. Or maybe I'm forgetting just how bad it was last time . . .

Obama Is A Dangerous Economic Bufffoon

Really! Don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy, a decent guy, a guy who wants to do the best for the country - but he not only has no idea of how to help the country, he doesn't even have the experience to know that he doesn't.

You had better read this post and think hard before you vote for him!

Obama has announced that he will move as president to designate CO2 as a pollutant. This would set the framework for an EPA plan that will halt most coal plants, and even affect FARMS! Anthony Watts has the bleeping story. Read the flippin' comments.

If Obama had more experience in actually governing, he would understand the epic scope and disruption of what he proposes to do.

McCain is barely better, but at least he's not stupid enough to get on this bandwagon (from the comments):
The only surprise here is that Obama’s advisers announced this now. Having EPA regulation GHGs under the Clean Air Act means dramatically higher costs for energy (85% of our energy comes from coal, petroleum, and natural gas). Obama would require over 1.2 million medium to large buildings to get permits because they emit GHGs.
* 1 million mid-sized to large buildings–this includes 10% of all churches, 1/5 of all food service businesses, half of the buildings in the lodging industry, and 92,000 health care facilities.
* 200,000 manufacturing operations
* 20,000 large farms

This plan also means that a lot of farms will need permits from EPA to stay in business. According to the Department of Agriculture:
According to the Department of Agriculture the following will need permits:
* Dairy facilities with over 25 cows
* Beef operations with over 50 cattle
* Swine operations with more than 200 hogs
* Farms with more than 500 acres of corn

This is just a taste of how far reaching this plan is
This is the EPA's Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR). At this page you can read the proposed
rules (as far as they've gotten) and comment on them. The two pdf links (huge pdfs) I have given you are "scope" documents and together these overviews are over 1,000 pages. From page 4 of the first link:
EPA is also faced with the broader ramifications of any regulation of motor vehicle GHG emissions under the CAA in response to the Supreme Court’s decision. Over the past several months, EPA has received seven petitions from states, localities, and environmental groups to set emission standards under Title II of Act for other types of mobile sources, including nonroad vehicles such as construction and farm equipment, ships and aircraft. The Agency has also received public comments seeking the addition of GHGs to the pollutants covered by the new source performance standard (NSPS) for several industrial sectors under section 111 of the CAA. In addition, legal challenges have been brought seeking controls for GHG emissions in preconstruction permits for several coal-fired power plants.
Over the last few months, at least three new coal plants have been halted already by federal courts due to legal challenges over carbon emissions. Obama's action would give every single environmental extremist in the country very powerful legal standing to block most non-nuclear projects, excepting wind and solar. Many of the big solar plants proposed are already being blocked by the EPA because of the extremely high land usage they would require. Nor do we even have the transmission lines in place to cycle the energy around the country, or the storage facilities to balance out the load. If you try wind, the picture is even worse.

Of course, Obama's current position on nuclear power is that it can't be done unless storage is provided, and he's against storage and reprocessing, so no nukes. That leaves wind and solar, and see the end of this post for those options.

If this guy is voted into office, the country is going to get exactly what it deserves - poverty. Of course, the real sufferers will be the lower income people, who will not be able to pay the additional costs. The extremist environmentalists have declared war on the poor. This is what we get for letting a bunch of rich people stroke their egos at the expense of the welfare of the common citizen.

CAA is the Clean Air Act. The story states that Obama will direct the EPA to name carbon dioxide (which you emit with each breath) a HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant). That would bring carbon dioxide emissions under Section 112 of the CAA, and section 112 would require that the EPA set standards for any emitter of 10 tons per year of CO2 or any emitter of 25 tons of any combination of HAPs. Section 112 leaves little latitude for the EPA. Those sources would include farms, quite a few private heating plants, etc.

I now quote from the DOE letter found on page 39 of this ANPR release:
It is entirely unclear at this point what sort of MACT standard would be placed on which sources for purposes of controlling GHG emissions, what such controls would cost, and whether such controls would be effective. However, complying with MACT standards with respect to GHG emission controls likely would place a significant burden on States and localities, manufacturing and industrial facilities, businesses, power plants, and potentially thousands of other sources throughout the United States. As the draft explains, section 112 “appears to allow EPA little flexibility regarding either the source categories to be regulated or the size of sources to regulate…. EPA would be required to regulate a very large number of new and existing stationary sources, including smaller sources…we believe that small commercial or institutional establishments and facilities with natural gas fired furnaces would exceed this major source threshold; indeed, a large single family residence could exceed this threshold if all appliances consumed natural gas.”

Compliance with the standards under section 112 is required to be immediate for most new sources and within 3-4 years for existing sources. Such a strict timeline would leave little to no time for emission capture and reduction technologies to emerge, develop, and become cost-effective.
In order to escape the permitting process (and the EPA could not process these permits - it would require more than doubling or tripling the staff), businesses and some homes would be forced to turn to electricity.

But you know what? We can't produce enough electricity. We can't. We don't have the bleeping power plants to do it! Read this 36 page outline of the challenges facing the US electricity grid, which include:
  • U.S. baseload generation capacity reserve margins have declined precipitously to 17 percent in 2007, from 30-40 percent in the early 1990s. A 12-15 percent capacity reserve margin is the minimum required to ensure reliability and stability of the nation’s electricity system.
  • Investments in new generation and transmission required by 2016 will be a minimum of $300 billion dollars. This may be a conservative estimate, and actual costs could be much higher.
  • The latest estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on installed capital costs are as follows: natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) costs about $750 per installed kilowatt (kW); coal costs about $1,600/kW; nuclear costs nearly $2,600/ kW; solar thermal costs nearly $3,900/kW; and photovoltaics cost more than $5,800/ kW.
If you aren't grasping the overall picture, the net effect of all Obama's policies are to effectively block virtually all new energy development and transmission. The stuff permitted under regulation would be the stuff we can't afford to do.

 "Obama isn't leaving you any option. You either vote to starve and freeze the poor people or you vote for McCain and Palin. I'm not happy with the situation either, but the choice between certain disaster and a trudge through the sludge has abruptly become much easier for me."
 

Associations

Charles Krauthammer points out that Barack Obama’s long associations with extremely questionable people like Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers speak directly to Obama’s character. What they say is not good.

First, his cynicism and ruthlessness. He found these men useful, and use them he did. Would you attend a church whose pastor was spreading racial animosity from the pulpit? Would you even shake hands with — let alone serve on two boards with — an unrepentant terrorist, whether he bombed U.S. military installations or abortion clinics?

Most Americans would not, on the grounds of sheer indecency. Yet Obama did, if not out of conviction then out of expediency. He was a young man on the make, an unknown outsider working his way into Chicago politics. He played the game with everyone, without qualms and with obvious success.

Obama is not the first politician to rise through a corrupt political machine. But he is one of the rare few to then have the audacity to present himself as a transcendent healer, hovering above and bringing redemption to the “old politics” — of the kind he had enthusiastically embraced in Chicago in the service of his own ambition.

Second, and even more disturbing than the cynicism, is the window these associations give on Obama’s core beliefs. He doesn’t share the Rev. Wright’s poisonous views of race nor Ayers’s views, past and present, about the evil that is American society. But Obama clearly did not consider these views beyond the pale. For many years he swam easily and without protest in that fetid pond.

Yes, these associations do matter. Obama only abandoned these men when they became a political liability to him. Up until then, he cheerfully used them to advance his own career. Obama’s choice of friends tell us of the utter self-absorption, the ruthlessness and the blind ambition of Barack Obama. The media is obviously in the tank for Obama and are drowning out the McCain campaign almost entirely now, but these things still matter.

Most voting machines can be hacked, report says (I'm shocked... but not really)

I talked with my county registrar. She has lived in several states. She says that by far, the best and most reliable voting system is the [hard-copy] card ballot with the circle next to the name or issue.

A Sharpie with indelible ink is used to fill in the circle [like a bingo card only smaller] and the card ballot is then inserted into an optical reader machine where the voter can see their vote ‘counted’.

Depending on the size of the polling place determines the number of optical reader machines. The machines are in front of the ‘bi-partisan’ pollsters desk/table so that they as witnesses can see that one ballot per one voter is inserted into the machine(s).

Plus, if a voter messes up their ballot, they have it shredded in front of the pollsters and are given a new blank. No disenfranchisement. Voters also have to show valid photo ID and sign in.

Hard-copy ballots make recount more possible than a bad or hacked hard drive with only ‘ether votes’ and with those type of ballots, there is no misunderstanding of ‘voter intent’ [no hanging chads or dents where hole might have been. Only a black dot].

100% blogosphere-

Be sure to read the "comments' sections:

CINDY MCCAIN'S LAWYER pushes back at the New York Times. "It is worth noting that you have not employed your investigative assets looking into Michelle Obama. You have not tried to find Barack Obama's drug dealer that he wrote about in his book, Dreams of My Father. Nor have you interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them. Thus, there is a terrific lack of balance here." Ouch. More here.

UPDATE: Related thoughts from Jennifer Rubin: "If MSM wants to be treated as impartial arbiter, a 'watchdog' and not a lapdog of one candidate, its members should consider some behavior modification."

"I AM JOE." "I am a Wal Mart schlub in flyover country who changes my own oil and unclogs drains without a license. I smoke and drink beer and toss the football in the front yard with my kid, and I figure I can fend my way without handouts from some Magic Messiah's candy bags. Most everyone in my family and most everyone I grew up with is another Joe, and if you screw with them, you screw with me."

Related item here. Plus, Charles Martin and Tom Maguire issue complaints.

POPULAR MECHANICS: 12 basic plumbing supplies for home tool kits.

Anyway, the issue certainly seems to have some resonance out there.

UPDATE: "In what kind of nation, do the media investigate critics more than candidates?"

 

DID WASHINGTON waste millions on faulty voting machines? Hey, it's not like this is a problem without a solution. Related item here.
 

IN TNR, John McWhorter writes: "If Obama loses, let's please not assume that racism was the cause."

Hasn't it already been established that there's no reason to vote against Obama -- or even to criticize his policies -- besides racism?

UPDATE: I mean, heck, just wearing a McCain-Palin t-shirt gets you called "racist." Even if you're a seventh-grade girl. Her reaction was braver than a lot of pundits', though.

At War With "US"

... or at war with "them":

Obama has chosen another course. Though he comes out of the McGovern-Jesse Jackson left, he has shed past positions like support for partial-birth abortion as fast as he has shed past associations, from William Ayers to ACORN, from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to his fellow parishioners at Trinity United.

One question remains: Will a President Obama, with his party in absolute control of both Houses, revert to the politics and policies of the left that brought him the nomination, or resist his ex-comrades' demands that he seize the hour and impose the agenda ACORN, Ayers, Jesse and Wright have long dreamed of?

Whichever way he decides, he will be at war with them, or at war with us. If Barack wins, a backlash is coming.

And "war", it will be ... click.

Obamas Indulge In Feasting And Gluttony

October 18th, 2008

Buried on the gossip page of New York Magazine:

Daily Intel

10/17/08

Michelle Obama ordered lobster apps, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar, and Champagne at the Waldorf Wednesday afternoon when she was there with O for a meeting.

Here is what purports to be the room service receipt for this simple repast, as posted on a Townhall blog:

Alas, such conspicuous consumption would seem to fly in the face of the teachings of the Obamas’ erstwhile spiritual mentor, the Reverend Doctor Jeremiah Wright.

Indeed, in his first autobiography, Dreams From My Father, page 293, Mr. Obama specifically cites a passage from Wright’s sermon “The Audacity To Hope” that helped inspire him to a life of public service and sacrifice:

It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere… That’s the world! On which hope sits!

But as we have posted previously, Wright’s sermon actually goes much further.

Behold the fulminations of Reverend Wright that so moved Mr. Obama:

In our world, famine ravishes black and brown citizens who make up one-half or two-thirds of the globe, while feasting and gluttony are enjoyed by the minority of persons who inhabit the globe. I don’t know if you have ever been on one of those cruise ships that go to the Caribbean, but you do know of the hunger that is in such places as Haiti. Each week when those ships come back into Miami or San Juan, they dump more food into the Atlantic Ocean or the Caribbean Sea than the hungry citizens in Haiti can find to eat in a lifetime.

With apartheid in one hemisphere and apathy in the other hemisphere, and enough nuclear warheads stockpiled to wipe out all forms of life except for cockroaches, the world on which the woman is sitting is a world on the very brink of destruction. It is a world that cares more about bombs for the enemy than bread for the hungry; a world that is more concerned about the color of skin than about the content of character; a world that is more finicky about the texture of hair or what’s on the outside of your head than it is about the quality of education or what is on the inside of your head. That is the world on which this woman is sitting.

We think of being on top of the world as being in heaven. But when you look closely, all in fact is hell.

So it would seem that while the Obamas thinks they are sitting on top of the world eating room service from the Waldorf Astoria, they are actually in hell.

At least according to Reverend Wright.

(By the way, please note that Mr. Obama seems to have added the part about “white folks’ greed runs a world in need.”)

Sarah Palin SNL Reactions

My impression: she’s a natural on camera; completely comfortable - no surprise. And clearly a good sport.

The SNL cast, on the other hand, seemed a bit uncomfortable and stiff. Alec Baldwin’s a good sport, too.

Josh Brolin’s monologue got some dead air when going after Bush. I think people have figured out that going after Bush is overdone, and completely playing-it-safe. Everyone bashes Bush; Bush doesn’t bash back, he doesn’t demand your suspension, he doesn’t go after your livelihood.

You want to be daring and edgy? Ask Obama a question that he honestly answers, and be caught on tape doing it!

Noel Sheppard has the videos

Palin came back for Weekend Update: Amy Poehler came out and did a rather awesome and fun Palin rap about Alaska and moose.

“When I say OBAMA you say AYERS!

OBAMA!

AYERS”

and

“Forget Rev. Wright, I’m the preacher tonight”

Cute, although the kids had the sound turned low, so I couldn’t make some of it out. Palin bopped to the beat. Elder Son’s Sweet Girlfriend and I agreed that when she said, “I’m Sarah Palin, goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow,” she sounded just like Jane Curtain.

Reactions from around the ’sphere, latest first.

Victoria at Sundries says second better than first and also noted Palin’s comfort with the camera.

Althouse has an open thread for Palin SNL discussion. Ann calls it “mildly amusing,” which is about right and is disturbed that Palin seemed like a “seasoned actor.” I think as a journalism major and former broadcaster, Palin’s likely just comfortable with the camera.

Hot Air is discussing it. Some predict that the “I say Obama, you say Ayers,” line is going to stick and show up at rallies. That would be awesome, wouldn’t it?

Sister Toldjah tracked back with Gov. Palin to appear on SNL tonight (UPDATED)...

Joe the Plumber conquers the press?

Big family doings through Sunday and part of Monday will have things quiet around here. Be well!

Hey, do you think Obama and Ayers ran into each other, once in a while?

Meanwhile, the press cannot be happy with the reality (and the anger) they have helped to create:

From Iowahawk, who is pulling no punches:

Politicians — Sarah Palin, Bill Clinton, et al. — obviously have to put up with some rude, nasty shit, but it’s right there in the jobs description. Joe the Plumber is different. He was a guy tossing a football with his kid in the front yard of his $125,000 house when a politician picked him out as a prop for a 30 second newsbite for the cable news cameras. Joe simply had the temerity to speak truth (or, if you prefer, an uninformed opinion) to power, for which the politico-media axis apparently determined that he must be humiliated, harassed, smashed, destroyed. The viciousness and glee with which they set about the task ought to concern anyone who still cares about citizen participation, and freedom of speech, and all that old crap they taught in Civics class before politics turned into Narrative Deathrace 3000, and Web 2.0 turned into Berlin 1932.0.

Godwin’s Law! you say? if the jackboot fits, wear it.

Are you a Joe? Say it proud. Leave it on every goddamn newspaper comment section and online forum. Let these pressroom and online thugs know you won’t stay silent when they try to destroy the life of a private citizen for speaking his mind — because for every one of them, there are a million Joe Wurzelbachers. And for that we should all be thankful.

More

They don’t want to investigate Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac because such an investigation might undermine their narrative that deregulation and Wall Street greed prompted the mortgage meltdown. When conservative suggest that government programs might have precipitated the mess, for example, one leading Democrat accused such heretics to the media narrative of racism.

Similarly, when Joe the Plumber upset the Obama campaign’s middle-class narrative, Joe Biden savaged the citizen because his team “simply can’t tolerate an outspoken citizen successfully painting the Democratic ticket as socialist overlords.“

What is it about those on the left, including some very intelligent and thoughtful people, who get whipped into a frenzy any time anyone takes issue with their ideas? What accounts for their repeated attempts at character assassination of their critics?

UPDATE: Media spend more time investigating Joe’s tax problems than Barack Obama’s. In what kind of nation, do the media investigate critics more than candidates?

It does indeed seem like there is the press could be checking into if only it were curious. Remember when they called Bush “incurious” and said it was such a bad, bad, thing? Now, the press can’t muster any curiosity about much of anything beyond, “how did Obama get to be so great,” and “Acorn? Never heard of it.”

Some Joe the Plumber satire from Brutally Honest:

Thankfully, the media is investigating this phenom and the more we learn about Joe the plumber, the less credible he’s becoming. Discrediting items our friends in the press have revealed thus far include the following tid-bits:
* His membership in a radically racist church for more than 20 years, a membership he’s since renounced.
* His friendship with that church’s racist pastor, a friendship that inspired Joe to write a book called “The Audacity of Pipe (Cutters)”.
* His first home was funded in part by a friend currently under federal indictment for an illegal kickback scheme.
* His girlfriend had a pretty radical history and has only recently revealed her pride in America now that Joe is a celebrity. Sources also reveal that her senior year thesis is racially tinged and rooted in identity politics.
* Persistent rumors detail his relationship with an unrepentant domestic terrorist, a person whose backed up toilet launched Joe’s plumbing career.

Yeah…good thing he’s not running for president, that Joe.

Lorie Byrd:

Why is the media going all out to destroy anyone that might possibly stand in Obama’s way and to ignore any story that might show him in a bad light? Why are the media throwing away their last shreds of integrity, honesty and impartiality by going so far in the tank for Obama?

Don’t they know the financial crisis combined with Bush’s unpopularity created an atmosphere in which their victory is almost guaranteed? Don’t they know they are leading in all the battleground states now? Don’t they know the transition team is already meeting and the party is already planned? They are behaving like the only way they can win is through intimidation, lying, fraud, and throwing more money into the race than in the history of American politics and every time I think they have done all they can do, they go that extra mile. H/T

“I am Joe the Plumber; I am Spartacus!” Catchy!

The Colin Powell endorsement: Triumph of hope over reality

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 19, 2008 11:27 AM


Gravitas.

The media’s in a tizzy over Colin Powell’s Meet the Press endorsement of Barack Obama this morning.

It’s not a surprise to anyone who’s paid attention to his pro-Obama murmurings over the last four months.

How will people outside the Beltway bubble respond?

Yawn.

The Colin Powell endorsement: Triumph of hope over reality

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 19, 2008 11:27 AM


Gravitas.

The media’s in a tizzy over Colin Powell’s Meet the Press endorsement of Barack Obama this morning.

It’s not a surprise to anyone who’s paid attention to his pro-Obama murmurings over the last four months.

How will people outside the Beltway bubble respond?

Yawn.

Powell’s embrace of Barack Obama is a triumph of hope over reality. He told Tom Brokaw that Obama’s “steadiness” and “not jumping in and changing every day” convinced him that The One was ready to lead.

Hello?

Guess Powell relied on Obama’s website after he purged his surge criticism from it.

Powell then goes on to pooh-pooh Obama’s longtime “limited relationship” with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers as an “issue that is not central” to the campaign — just as evidence of the closeness of these two very chummy “neighbors” mounts.

Judgment, schmudgment, eh, Secretary Powell?

Finally, we arrive at the real reason Powell is endorsing Obama: The party, he complains, has become too “narrow” for his tastes. Pro-abortion Powell can’t stand the thought of two more Republican Supreme Court appointments. He thinks Sarah Palin is too conservative. He shares the Obama view of our base as racist and non-inclusive — but has nothing to say about the rabid pack of America-damning preachers who helped make Obama the “transformational” figure Powell has placed his faith in.

Powell also makes reference to all the Obama-is-a-Muslim rumors, blaming the Republican Party for all that. Never mind the Democrat Hillary backers like Bob Kerrey and on down to her grass-roots supporters who indulged themselves and trafficked in those very rumors Powell smears conservatives for spreading.

The orgy of Obamedia attention Powell will receive the next 24 hours is disproportionate to its importance.

The press only loves maverick Republicans when they jump in bed with Democrats.

Just ask John McCain.

***

One last note: I see in comments that many believe Powell supports Obama because he is black. Powell has said electing a black president would be “electrifying.” He is a staunch supporter of government racial preferences.

It’s a mistake, though, to attribute Powell’s endorsement primarily to some kind of race loyalty.

It’s Obama’s social liberalism, not his skin color, that attracts Powell most.

I am a Christian, not as active as many, but if someone asked me about my faith - Muslim or Islam would not be words that popped into my head.

Everybody - Volunteer & Donate.

Make sure we are all at local McCain HQ helping out with GOTV the weekend before the election. If you are retired - volunteer now. Ignore the polls.

Ignore the MSM - in the next few weeks they will go into overdrive fawning over Obama. Be prepared.

"The media has devoted hundreds of stories of late to the tenor of audience comments at McCain-Palin rallies, fretting about 'rage' and 'incitement' by the campaign, but the only account of Stewart's appearance is a one-sentence mention in the Boston Globe, and his abusive Palin comments are not included."

BARACK OBAMA--OCTOBER SURPRISE

Here is a 10/17/08 update audio interview via YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR0pKUs-mmI

2 things of importance

Berg says he is 100% sure that Obama was born in Kenya. I would take that to mean is he now has documentation to file with a judge.

Also Berg is about to order 10-50 state lawsuits for the same thing. In my opinion the doing of this and publicity will knock Obama down a couple of pegs. And only one has to go through and find that he is not a natural born citizen and the whole Obama-DNC house of cards collapes.

Obama Advisor Says First Step After Election Is to Withdraw Troops From War We Are Winning in Iraq

If Obama is elected, the main hope for our Republic is the fact that Obama uses people and tosses them under the bus when he no longer needs them. After the election, say he throws the anti-war crowd under the bus and he throws the environmentalists under the bus and he throws the (I'm going to love this) MEDIA under the bus, then an Obama presidency will be somewhat tolerable and somewhat entertaining.

If he can govern like Clinton - palling around with celebrities and giving self-important speeches while not actually accomplishing much, that will be fine. At least until Iran nukes Tel Aviv.

The Fort Dix Dance

“The John McCain Ad You’ll Never See”? We went ahead and filmed it!

John McCain is trying, but he simply won’t or can’t articulate why Obama’s connection to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers matters.

It matters because while McCain was being tortured in the Hanoi Hilton, Ayers and his dirty hippie friends got this close to murdering hundreds of McCain’s fellow soldiers, and their dates, at a dance at Fort Dix. And Ayers supports Obama.

With an Obama presidency, the radicals’ “long march through the institutions” will end in triumph.

Has the culture war really been for naught, America?
