Sleuthie!!

If the media thinks Pres. Bush had
an insulated, secretive White House,
they ain’t seen nothing yet!

Zer0’s admin (will they change the
name of the White House?) will have
so many walls and secrets, neither
schmoozing or jackhammers will be
successful.

It will be literally, definitively
and figuratively ... dark.

I have to agree. It has to include a change of leadership throughout the GOP. Including committee assignments. Quit the seniority appeals and get principled conservatives into positions of power.

One good thing came from the election. McCain and our Rockefeller Republicans have been exposed and there’s a new emphasis to return to conservative values and positions.

But the man was elected, by me it was fair and square,

Does "fair and square" mean hundred of millions of dollars of illegal contributions from foreign sources that enabled Obama to outspend McCain six to one or a totally biased MSM that failed to vet Obama?

Barack Obama is now our president-elect and I respect this. I believe, despite the allegations of fraud, that he won fair and square. He not only won; the man creamed his opponent, let’s face the truth.

I intend to give this lying, thieving, charlatan, Marxist sniveler the same respect he and his minions have given President Bush the past eight years. GWB tried the "new tone" for 8 years against these fascists and look where it got us? Him!

It's time for another tack.

I will stand aside graciously and let him lead. Hey, maybe he’ll do a good job.

You don't believe this for a moment and neither do I.

This man has no leadership ability in his bones. None. He has never demonstrated any nor did he show any in his first "Office Of The President-Elect" press conference. He will be a total disaster, worse than Jimmuh Chahtah. He is merely of the mouthpiece of the Man Behind The Curtain - whomever he may be!

Unfortunately, we will be the beneficiaries of his incompetence and deluded policies. He and his cronies consider themselves the new emperors of America and they are not at all good at hiding it. Nor do I think they care if they do. Why should they? I don't think they ever plan on leaving or allowing another fair election. Fifty to one hundred million illegal aliens, er, new voters will assure that outcome. That's a slam-dunk!

I will also criticize loudly and hope, sarcasm here, that I don’t end up in jail.

Be assured if you criticize loudly enough in the coming years, you will either end up there or have your reputation and finances ruined. It's in the Alinsky Playbook. Look it up. That is their reference Bible - not the Constitution and the real Bible. Before long it will not be an iron fist in a velvet glove. It will be an iron fist in an iron glove. Take that to the bank.

Other than that, I agree with the rest of what you say.

We absorb whatever the number is to placate the W/McCain/economy part of the party, but get rules and a fence to place our part of the party.

What the hell does that mean? Do you think we can absorb another 78 million to 120 million more legal residents in this country over a 20 period. You are not only legalizing the 12 top 20 million illegals already here, you are allow them to sponsor another 66 million to 100 million more LEGAL immigrants thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification. By that time a fence is meaningless, especially when they control the political system.

To toss 'em all out sends them to the Dem's from now until eternity and keeps us in minority status. By compromising we have a chance and business gets some help. And I'm well aware being in Arizona that the compromise will leave problems of crime, povery, failed health systems, but for now we haven't got the votes to do otherwise.

Attrition thru enforcement is the strategy, not toss them all out. Compromising equals surrendering. It is like being a little bit pregnant. Businesses don't need help. We have plenty of unskilled labor in this country. Blacks have an unemployment rate of 11.1% and Hispanics 8.8%. Importing the poor and undeducated from Latin America does not help our economy. FYI: I have a home in Scottsdale. I don't think you understand the problem.

I have hopes that some conservative here in Arizona will step forward and challenge McCain in 2010 and we can send him to permanent retirement. That said, unlike approximately 20% of conservatives I voted for him because I knew the alternative was too horrible to contemplate.

One thing we know, now, is massive numbers did not turn out to vote and the young vote remained static 11% - same as 2004... so O did not turn out the young. He did turn out the black voters in higher numbers.

Most troubling is the ACORN numbers. We know he hired them, he tried to deny it, but the proof was there. He won Ohio by 200,000 votes and ACORN registered 600,000. Polestra was identifying people who registered illegally and voted in Ohio right up until election day. They were starting to identify the same thing in New Mexico, but they could not do it alone and no other news organization stepped forward to help them do so.

So yes he was elected, but legitimately... I really do not think so. Too much fraud... I blame this loss as much on the GOP and O, however. WE knew there was fraud in 2000 and again in 2004... just not at this level... and we still have GOP in charge in congress, White House and many more states than today... the fraud should have been addressed as a first priority in 2001, pre-911, and was not. They let us all down when they ignored it. While on the subject of fraud, these electronic machines, manufactured in Venezuela do not give me a sense of comfort, either... especially when the dictator of that once democratic country is pulling for one candidate in particular to win.,

Your question about ammo buy reminded me of the film Astronaut Farmer where Billy Bob Thornton builds a space launch vehicle in his barn and is detected only when he goes down to buy a bunch of rocket fuel. The whole darn government showed up at his spread.

What interests me is were they told not to criticize him BEFORE we voted. I thought it very strange last Sunday that twice Newt tried to bring up the O’s Coal comments (that suddenly surfaced out of thin air when it was too late) and each time Cavuto cut him off and didn’t let him talk. Nothing I saw the final week, before we voted, from Fox was a head-scratcher. When I read the article last night that Rupert has told all his entities to treat the O with kid gloves it made sense... Fox is not persona non gratta on my TV screen. I’m going to be watching a lot of movies from here on out.

Did you read the ombudsman report in yesterday’s WaPo? All of sudden they admit they were — oops — biased. I sent her an email to this lady after reading her report. I think a lot of people should have sent her an email.

Did it catch this correctly on Face the Nation? Did Emanuel say that "after Obama is coronated then...." Will Obama be the King of US?

That is the only way to get back anything close to fair.., tune them out and don’t pay for their papers... and tell everyone we know to do the same thing.

She is wrong. What this exposed is black voters are fiscally liberal (all those handouts you know) but they are still socially conservative because of the influence of their black churches, the large turn out of blacks to elect O in CA helped push prop 8 to a win. In a normal year my guess is it would have lost.

The previews of his show tonight sounded very milqutoast and I thought that was a little strange, then I read this edict last night and it made sense.

What affect will this have on XM/Sirius? Wonder if Rush will go to Satellite radio now?

They have their orders. I refuse to give them the ratings because no Republican is going to get a fair interview.

Wasn’t his brief tenure at RNC specifically to try and get the immigration bill passed last week? Florida needs to do what we need to do here in AZ with McCain... vote him out of office. Identify a conservative and run that person against him in the primary.

One word answers your question: NEA

People need to get their kids out of public schools while they still can... while there is still some braincells to save.

The legal Hispanic vote in CO helped defeat our candidate for US Senate, as well as McCain.

We don’t have to pander as the Democrats do, but we need to figure ways to win legal Hispanic voters without alienating them because of the illegal Hispanics in America.

Many Hispanics are antigay (as are many blacks), not just anti gay marriage. They are also anti abortion. This is a group we can appeal to on social conservative issues.
