You’re right re: Auchi, Rezko, Obama, Iraq
Have you noticed how many times he said we have an economic crisis, yet Iraq has made all that money, we should take some for our efforts.
Notice you haven’t heard from the socialist backed anti-war groups either.
No one hit the Companion Security deal (like Blackwater, but Iraqis flown here to train in IL, during that time, it was a ridiculous thought), the telecomm deal in Iraq, the breaking out of Alsammarae re: Iraqi custody, etc. Meanwhile, O touted his anti-war creds. It never got play.
Fox should’ve explored Discover the Networks.
Both of them have done many closed no press fund raisers for individual congress and senate races but true not many actual get out the vote or Victory Rallies.
Laura Bush was at a get out vote rally last week.
Ironic, the threats are all coming from Democrats and the far left. Republicans don’t really think in those terms, but the Democrats are trying to stoke the fires of unrest.
As for Denver, I have no idea other than what we’ve heard from the Democrat weenies on national and international news items.
LATE EDITION (CNN) : Panel
Discussing Cheney’s endorsement of McCain, bring up Øbama ad with Colin Powell’s endorsement, of course Blitzer forgets McCain says “all I can do is laugh” at Powell for lying about McCain’s economic plan changing in McCain’s CNN interview at 12:10;

.
Powells endorsement is not valid being he is shown to be lying in it
.
Another Blitzer bias moment I hadn’t noticed before, just after 9 minutes Blitzer ask McCain for an answer ‘quickly because time is almost up’ yet, the interview is over 19 minutes, Blitzer is dileberately trying to get McCain to say something CNN can use for Øbama’s advantage
This is one of the biggest scams on America in our histoir. He claims to be anti-war when he originally supported it, yet nobody remembers? Now he is anti-drilling and anti-coal to make us even more dependent on his financiers.

This from Jerry Pournelle's day book:
I'm with Dr Pournelle on this one.Despair is a sin, and often a mistake. The polls do not record the "refused to respond" which in my judgment is a much larger category than any admit -- it includes me, five times so far this year since I'm home to answer the phone more than many people are -- and I suspect that more McCain people refuse to respond than the trendier Obama enthusiasts.
Few Republicans are enthusiastic. I wish there were a safe recipient for the Turn The Rascals Out! vote. There isn't. Electing a junior senator whose political positions are indistinguishable from McGovern except on the checkoff unionization which even McGovern opposes cannot be a good thing for the future of the nation. If the Democratic candidate were Colin Powell, who has fairly traditional liberal views but is primarily a centrist with some military (including political military, but who has led troops in combat) experience, I'd very likely vote for him on the grounds that he would be a good restraining influence on Rangel, Franks, Dodd, Pelosi, and the weak Reid. Alas, Obama isn't likely to stand up to much of anything; his political experience has been Chicago machine go along to get along.
But the election is not over. There are more decline to answer voters than it takes to change the election.
One vote per precinct in California delivered the nation to Woodrow Wilson.
The way to win elections is to get those who intend to vote for your candidate to go vote. Few readers here are not capable of getting two or three voters to the polls. That's well over a million votes. Think on it.
TY for the reply. Talked to my x (lives in Englewood), she didn’t seem to be too worried. Just wanted another opinion.
Great analysis I totally agree!!Maybe she could be on Rush about once a month.
Unfortunately the governor is Democrat Janet Napolitano. I have to research how Arizona fills a Senate vacancy, but if it’s by appointment then that’s a loss.
Democrats are putting a lot of stock into these polls, and just looking at the Øbama rally in Ohio I don’t think they are going to be happy with the results of the election. They are going to try calling it early, but the outlying area will have yet to have their votes counted, I can remember it so well in Minnesota, and the media were so surprised their candidates lost. Øbama is begging for early voting, but the cheers are limited. MSNBC just ran the Øbama/Wright commercial, of course no one seen it but me.
Exactly,I think everything is falling into place for us,we just have to be vigilant.!!
Under state law, Napolitano would appoint a replacement senator to serve until “the next general election.” If McCain resigns after a November win, Napolitano’s pick would serve through 2010.Also by law, Napolitano’s pick would have to be a Republican because that’s McCain’s party. Napolitano is regarded as a likely U.S. Senate candidate in 2010. That’s when both her current term and McCain’s end.
Because of that, “I’m assuming that only somebody who would not run (in 2010) would have any chance of getting appointed,” said Lisa Hauser, a Republican election attorney.
So it would remain a Republican seat but Napolitano gets to pick who, so unless she sees JD is an easy opponent it's not likely she'd pick him.
Example:
I just heard a piece on FNC,along with video, about how all bamby's relatives in Kenya were praying for his victory yet FNC did not have the guts to put up the piece about how he was actually born there as well!! To my knowledge it has not come out yet on any major league net or even Rush!!
Øbama just called the economy the central issue, now lets see the media compare the McCain low tax rates to Øbama’s tax credits and show a long term graph
CNN is now having an I love Obozo contest with MSLSD to see who can stain the knee pads more in service of the chosen one.
The Stone Age Press has become nothing more than a giant Echo Chamber where all the reporters write for each other. The group think has become so predictable that if you read or hear one reporter you’ve herd them all. Where has all the original thought or creativity gone in an industry that is based on painting history with words? There are two main forces blowing through PravdABDNC that are stifling all diversity of thought. The first is the absolute bias towards the DNC and the other is the fear of going against the Establishment.
Is there any wonder that the Conservative writers continually have best sellers while liberals only have cellars? America is starved for writers of the truth, yet they are continually insulted by scribes who show nothing but contempt for them and their way of life. This is no way to expand your business or even keep the customers you already have. This Country is divided 52-48% Republican, yet the reporters of history are 90% Democrat. How can they reflect a Conservative Country on paper when they have no desire to understand it?
How has this Industry become so disenfranchised from it’s customer base? Simple really, the reporters write for each other and know that if they all agree then virtually nobody can be wrong. Take for example the election, even though GW had always polled the lead, the press hoped that Kerry would close at the end and take Florida. To predict otherwise would put you in the minority and if you were wrong you would have to explain why you went against the common group thought. If you were right then the group will just say that it was an upset and cover their error. Since everyone is in agreement there is no threat to lose face and maintain your expert status since you were all fooled. If you are wrong by yourself you are embarrassed.
This is how the Stoned Agers have maintained such catch phrases as Bush Lied, WMD, pre-emptive 18 month rushed into, go it alone coalition. This allows lies to be maintained with none of the established reporters willing to buck the tide even had they wanted. All of the awards and front page stories are given to the scribes who are the most established and those are the ones who do not take risks. Now all of the front page reporters are complete DNC spokesmen which leaves a vacuum of divergent thought. Everybody wants their little awards and will do what it takes to receive those awards. You sure won’t soon see Ann Coulter’s name on those little dust catchers.
The major drum & bugle we are going hear over the next couple years will be that Harpy clinton is an automatic for President. None of these ancients will go against the group-think since it will put them out on a limb along with the casternation of their peers. Nobody will give an honest evaluation of her lack of warmth/humility or shrieking skills. Imagine her telling self deprivating humor? So we will hear nothing except what a great candidate/screecher she is. The fact is that she is a lousy candidate, a poor debater and sagging in the polls too. She very may well lose her Senate seat in a “huge” upset. You read it here first and the Old York Times, have they endorsed yet; will make excuses.
The lack of diversity and creativity will be the death of these Dinosnores. With a sophisticated audience and a shortened attention span these old formulas no longer work. When most information was stored and researched in books, attention spans could tolerate boring one sided drivel. With the advent of 24 hour news and the internet we no longer have the time or patience to tolerate their droll drivel.
What was once an industry supposedly filled with truth seekers is now a megaphone of the DNC. That and the lack of an original thought over the past 20 or so years and you have the Stone Age Press up to it’s nostrils in the tarpits of histoir. The literal bankruptcy of that industry would bring about a truly Free Press that not only has the political freedom but an intellectual freedom that has long been lost. It is heartwarming to see these pretty boy reporters in their death shakes as they invent scandal after scandal in a transparent attempt to return to their glory. This phony arrogance is driving more and more customers away from their crumbling Echo Chamber.
You can bet that the Buggy manufacturers had the same condescending smirks on their faces as the Model T splashed mud on their freshly polished shoes.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
