Is anyone surprised at the NYT hit piece on McCain?

I'll begin with this.  After the Clinton presidency, who are Democrats, liberals and progressives to comment on a politicians extramarital affairs whether real or fabricated?

 

Now, with that out of the way let me talk about the New York Times' hit piece on John McCain.  In case you did not read the article, the supposed affair that John McCain is having with a lobbyist was never substantiated.  But whether or not McCain had an affair is not the issue.  The New York Times' reporting is.

 

You see, the New York Times had this story in December and they told McCain about it in December.  So why was this potentially damaging story held until now?  It sure was not benefit John McCain.  The New York Times wants a Democrat in the White House, plain and simple.  This story is evidence that the media is left leaning and attempting to manipulate the outcome of an election.

 

The New York Times could have published that story in December, but why not?  If the story was published then and had its desired effect then McCain would not be the Republican nominee.  Now, McCain is going to be the nominee, and now the media will strike.

 

I am not any more upset with the media than I normally am.  A snake is a snake and the NYT is the NYT.

 

A note to John McCain: you've stepped on the conservatives and gotten colzy with the Libs.  And where has it gotten you?  Did you honestly think that your Lib buddies wouldn't forsake you for Hillary or Obama?  Lesson learned.  I hope.

Bush proposes tax rebate. Dems spin.

President Bush is working on a proposal to address economic worries. Within this plan he is proposing a "rebate" on income taxes. This is similar to the rebate we received in 2002. Singles are said to receive $600 and married couples receive $1,800.

Of course the media and libs are out there spinning this. Several stories have surfaced in the media where people are dragged out who will say that they don't feel like this will help the economy.

Let me ask, weeks ago when Hillary, Barack and Edwards were touting their "free" give aways wasn't this going to undoubted help the economy? Isn't that how it was touted in the media? So what's the difference between the Dem "giveaways" and Bush's "rebate?"

To begin, rebate is not the proper word. Refund is. Bush proposes taking money directly out of the government coffers (our money) and giving it back. Hillary's supposed free, universal healthcare or "baby bonds" redistribution of wealth. Under Democrats taxes will raise to pay for the program. Bush on the other hand recognizes that we have a tax surplus and is not going to spend it, but give it back.

This is only a half-solution. The real solution, make the tax cuts permanent.

Iranian navy provocation brings out the crazies.

As you may or may not know, last week the Iranian navy sent fast attack boats out to confront a US Navy destroyer group. I have no doubt that the Iranians knew they would not be able to successfully attack the destroyer group and that their harassment was intended to provoke a response by the destroyers.



One thing that you can always count when something like happens is the kooks will come out in droves calling shenanigans. Just ask, the sinking of the Lusitania? Faked/the US did it. Pearl Harbor? FDR knew about it. USSR invasion of Afghanistan? the USSR was "lured" in by the CIA. 9/11? Bush did it.



What is the common theme here? The US is the bad guy. The US is to blame. No other nation, ever, ever, ever does anything against the US. The US is just so hell bent on war that we fake provocation to acheive that goal.

Ridiculous.

The kook spin on this will be that the Iranians would not dare attacking the US Navy as they know they would be destroyed. This will come from the same people that say we cannot win a war in Iraq or Afghanistan and have stated that the US military cannot fight terrorism.

Russians reliving the space race...

I ran across this headline, "Russia says it is ahead in race to put man on Mars"

The Russians say that they are winning the space race. Really? There's a race for that? Imagine that the Russians are racing for the red planet.

Here's a guarantee. Based on the USSR's previous performance they may well put a man on Mars first. Whether that man is still breathing when he gets there is another question.

Comments on the NH Primary

After last night's primary it looks like Clinton is still in the game. Good. I truly hope that she gets the nomination because she will be easier to beat in the general election.

Here's my question. Obama was polling at double-digits ahead of Clinton leading up to the New Hampshire primary, where are all the lefties crying voter fraud? I mean come on, in 2004 it had to be voter fraud because polls said Kerry was ahead, right?

Speaking of voter fraud, how does that work in Democratic primaries? Does one candidate get all the "dead voter" support and one get the "I vote once... in each county" support?

US Rep gets in argument with Capital Police

Hey guys I just read the Rep Christopher Shays (R) CT got into a shouting match and apparently grabbed a Capital Police officer while trying to bring visitors in through a restricted entrance.

Of course Rep Shays lost his temper and acted like an idiot and embarassed himself.

Predictably, the Dems and Libs have popped up comparing this to Cynthia McKinney. Is the right wing going to demand that Shays resign? And so on.

Here's the thing, on the surface these two incidents are very similar. One thing is that McKinney actually struck the officer and Shays did not; I don't need to tell you that in the left wing mind Republicans should be rounded up for any infraction. But the real difference is in how the situation was handled.

Did Shays blame the officer afterward? Did Shays cite some kind of prejudice? No, he said I'm sorry, I was wrong and I am to blame. These are things we never heard from Cynthia McKinney, that is the biggest difference.

Iranian missles aimed at US base in Iraq.

The United States military has found 50 Iranian "penetrator" missile launchers aimed at a US base in Iraq. The began after two of the same type of missiles were used in an attack the killed two American soldiers.

They have been sending people and weapons into Iraq to be used against our soldiers. What is it going to take for our government to strike back against Iran? Fearing just that Mahmoud has denied the evidence and at the same time threatened Israel.

I have to ask, what the hell are Iranian missiles doing in Iraq. It doesn't take General Patton to tell you close off the border between Iraq and Iran (of course Patton would what level Iran for its interference). But this should not come as a surprise since the government isn't even willing secure our own border.

I guess we can always offer the Iranians a "guest combatant permit".

U.S. House approves surrender to Muslim terrorists.

The House of Representatives approved a measure today to begin the withdrawal of US military forces from Iraq. The plan specifies that the withdrawal begin within 120 days and be completed by April 1, 2008. April Fool's Day, wow is that fitting.

This measure also dictates that some US military personnel be left in Iraq to "train Iraqis, protect U.S. assets and fight al-Qaida and other terrorists."

So let me get this straight, the Democrats say that we are losing the war so their solution is to pull most everyone out and leave a skeleton crew? Now that is strategy. The Dems said we are losing the war, I guess now they want to prove it. Maybe al Qaeda in Iraq won't let us surrender unless we let them win a few battles for their propaganda videos.

Here's what really pisses me off. If the Dems want us out, why don't they just vote to pull us out? Why do they have to chip away at every resource our military men and women have? Why do the Dems feel this need to demoralize and disarm the military in a time of war?

The Dems just don't have the guts to stand up for ending the war and they sure as hell don't have the guts to win it. We all know that the Dems are cowards when it comes to fighting islamofacists, but they are even too cowardly to say they just want to give up? The other reason they don't just vote to pull out, each flag draped coffin has the potential for propaganda, the more the better.

Either way the Dems are surrendering to an enemy that will follow our soldiers home.

Looks like Nancy has already been practicing for her role as "Speaker of the Dhimmis".
