I'm Just Saying - have you?

Utopia

Democrats would have us believe that if we elect their messiah the whole world will unite in harmony and love as all the stars align while we drink a Coke. There will be no unemployment, no hunger, no pain, no hurricanes, no hot weather. We'll all hold hands, sing Kumbah Yah, and stand around the world communal camp fire. On second thought quench that fire it would be polluting the planet, depleting the rain forest and removing the sacred owls breeding grounds etc. etc. These people need to wake up and smell the coffee - or would you actually need coffee in their Utopian village, but I digress.

I can't even begin to do justice punching holes in their biosphere of goodness but can point out some potential panacea problems. (Hey, I couldn't resist the alliteration.) But I can think of a couple of things that would at least slow down the progress towards that beautiful sunset.

They may find this difficult to believe but there are actually some people in this world that don't like us. In fact you might even say some groups hate us so much they would be willing to fly airplanes into tall buildings and strap on suicide vests to show us how much they care. Do the Democrats really think these people will all of a sudden want to play nice and not run with scissors?

However the main difficulty with Utopia involves money and all you have to do is follow the money trail to see the problem. Of course the trail ends with productive people that don't think the government should be the answer. These people believe if you need or want something you should have to work for it instead of sitting around waiting for the government to give it to you. I realize this presents a dilemma for the Democrats but they assure us that only the "rich" will have to pay.

Somehow they fail to see the simple economic relationship between the "rich" and those working for the "rich." If you continue to rob Peter to pay Paul it becomes problematic at some point in time. If there is no incentive to achieve eventually Peter will refuse to produce and join Paul in waiting for the hand outs.

I'm Just Saying - now you know why socialism doesn't work.

Numbers Don't Lie

Talk about hypocrites. While the Democrat Party is busy espousing that they are THE party of change their voting record does not back them up. They are not fighting the established Washington in crowd they ARE the Washington in crowd.

The Democrats in the Senate have consistently voted with their majority party more than the Republicans. You have to go down the list 33 members (32 Democrats and 1 Independent) before you find a Republican that voted with his party as much as those above him. In fact of those on the top list 20 voting against their own party there are 17 Republicans and only 3 Democrats.

Comparing Presidential candidates their is even a larger disparity. The Democrats chosen one has voted with his party 96% (#12) of the time. An astonishing number from someone that is purporting change. His running mate has done an even better job voting with his party coming in at 96.6% and number 8 on the list, considerable higher than their opponent.

George Bush's supposed lap dog has voted with the Republican Party 88.3% of time making him number 64th on the list. It is quite evident that there is a lot more "reaching across the aisle" coming from the right than the left.

You don't have to believe me, you can check for yourself at The Washington Post.

I'm Just Saying - are the Democrats going to CHANGE they way they vote?

Irony

Why aren't all the feminist praising the Republican choice for VP? You would think they would be proud to have a woman in position to be one heart beat away. Instead they have adopted the arrogance of their chosen one and say 'leave this to the professionals - don't try this at home' little lady.

They want to know how she could possibly raise kids and have a job (like they do). These wild eyed hairy legged feminist claim that you can only do this if WE say you can. And of course they will never say that to a conservative woman because she doesn't fit their mold.

Is it the fact they she didn't have to except infidelity from her husband as Hillary did in order to remain in politics? Also I find it odd their support never wavered for Bill Clinton when he was cheating on Hillary - their idol. The only reason Bill would ever put any woman on a pedestal would be to look up her dress. On the one hand they are saying "We are women hear us roar" but on the other, by accepting Bill's behaviour, they acknowledge that Hillary would have been a nobody ambulance chaser had she not rode into Washington on Bill's coattails of political success.

I'm Just Saying - add the feminist to the list of hypocrites.

You've gotta dance...

I've been reading the political pundits that are saying McCain's "maverick pick" was Joe Lieberman not Sarah Palin. The choice was made just to placate the conservative base. I can live with that, especially since at least one of them should be a conservative. I like Lieberman and think he would have been a great choice for vice president - for the Democrat Party. In fact an Obamah-Lieberman ticket would have been harder to defeat that the current pairing. But can you imagine the cacophony of silence from the Republican base come election day had McCain picked Lieberman?

I'm Just Saying - maybe like Darrell Royal he thought "I'm going to dance with the one who brung me."

The Speech

Well if you missed Palin's speech last night and was wondering how she did, she was fantastic. Not only is she "clean" and "articulate" (traits Biden found attractive in Obamah) she owned the stage. She showed that the chosen one is not the only one that can deliver a speech. But there was more than rhetoric and empty feel good statements of "hope and change" in the talk. Finally we have a Republican that is talking about doing something about the problems we are facing instead of on collecting more money and power for Washington D.C. to dole out. In fact she did such a good job that this morning on CBS (yes, I'm not supposed to watch MSM) they felt it necessary to get a rebuttal from "Average" Joe Biden.

Even though it's long you should read the entire speech which can be found at the NPR website. Here are some excerpts that will make you want to read more;

“It’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform, not even in the state Senate”

“Since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves, I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”

“What exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make the government bigger and take more of your money.”

I'm Just Saying - this lady has them on the run!

Distraction?

Again the MSM just doesn't get it. Another "journalist" this morning was questioning the Palin distraction but failed to acknowledge the root cause of the distraction - the MSM. He claimed so much time is spent on Palin's problems the Republicans have not had a chance to talk about the real problems such as the economy. Perhaps he missed Fred's speech;

“Now our opponents tell you not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they are not going to tax your family. No, they’re just going to tax ‘businesses.’ So unless you buy something from a ‘business,’ like groceries or clothes or gasoline... or unless you get a paycheck from a big or a small ‘business,’ don’t worry... it’s not going to affect you. They say they are not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the ‘other’ side of the bucket! That’s their idea of tax reform.” —Fred Thompson

Although this was my favorite from Fred;

"Democrats present a history-making nominee for president. History-making in that he is the most liberal, most inexperienced nominee ever to run for president"

I'm Just Saying - it's hard to separate the Democrats from the MSM!

The Right Word

Assholes! Yes, that's the right word. I know you're thinking the old red neck shouldn't watch the main stream media but sometimes I can't help it. Unlike many rednecks I did make it further than third grade and have a vocabulary of at least a fifth grader so I could come up with another word but none that so aptly describes these people. These are the same people that would genuflect as they passed before the chosen one last week. The same press core that gave Joe Bidden a pass a pass for being a 3 time loser and questioning the readiness of Obamah now question McCain's pick as running mate. How could they possibly question Palin's qualifications and overlook the elephant in the room? They ask how could he make this choice with all the "controversy" surrounding her daughters pregnancy. Someone should point out that the press are the ones creating this "controversy!" A "journalist" last night criticized the Republican party for politicizing the hurricane by cutting back on the schedule and not having a 'widely unpopular President and Vice President' attend the convention while McCain is feigning interest in the storm. Then this morning ABC did an expose on some of the lobbyist parties that went on Monday night after McCain requested it be toned down. They pointed out how outrageously expensive these affairs were and just proved that it was 'business as usual' for the Republicans. Maybe I missed their expose of the lobbyist parties in Denver last week, you think?

I'm Just Saying - they're a bunch of assholes!

First Book of Democrat

(going around the internet)

Obama Is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want.
He Leadeth Me Beside Still Factories,
He Restoreth My Faith In The Republican Party,
He Guideth Me In The Paths Of Unemployment.

Yea, Though I Walk Through The Valley Of The Bread Line, I Shall Not Go Hungry.

Obama Has Anointed My Income With Taxes,
My Expenses Runneth Over My Income,
Surely, Poverty And Hard Living Will Follow Me All The Days Of My Life.

The Democrats And I Will Live Forever In a Rented Room.

But I Am Glad I Am an American,
I Am Glad That I Am Free.
But I Wish I Was A Dog
And Obama Was A Tree.

I'm Just Saying - he's not the choosen one for me!
