   Michelle,All,

   Why isn’t this story in the Mainstream Media? The Arrest of all those New Jersey Officials, for Corruption Charges. Hillary Clinton is mentioned frequently she was there and speaking.

   Even the NYT is covering the story why is not in the National News? This is way more serious then a toe tapping Senator from Idaho.

   Feinstein and Boxer are as transparent as the slider I have leading to my patio. I wish these two would follow Hagel’s lead and step down for the good of California and the US. I’m embarrased having them represent my state with all their self serving causes that do nothing for anyone but the elite, shame on them. Down with these backdoor earmarks, there nothing more than a scam on the American people. We deserve better.

   John Stossel is great. I have a huge amount of respect for his work.

   It’s about time Moore is taken on. His comments about health care are simply lies and there are plenty of Cubans in the US who can attest to that.

   Why is it that there isn’t a despot dictator that these liberals don’t like? Are they really so blind to the horrors of living under the rule of these monsters? Do these lefties really think their quality of life would be better there than in the US? And if they do, why don’t they leave the US and go live there? Good grief, Seeger is just now seeing that Stalin wasn’t a great guy? How stupid are they?

   On the arrest of the Democrats in NJ (my old home state):

   said State Senator Stephen M. Sweeney, a Democrat from Gloucester County. “How dare these Democrats cast a cloud over the entire Democratic Party?

   Have they forgotten the past antics of their own darlings, the Clintons, the Hillary of which was speaking at that very convention?

   Could Mr. Christie’s timing be mere coincidence two years in a row?

   Yes, said most Democrats interviewed here on Friday. Hardly any Democrat was accusing Mr. Christie of playing politics. Instead, many praised him and the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents who worked on the 18-month investigation.

   Mr. Codey may have set the tone in a speech at a breakfast that was talked about all day.

   Saying that Democrats should “look at ourselves and ask, ‘Are we doing the right thing?’ ”

   Boy, when they speak like this instead of hurling wild accusations of conspiracies, you know they’re scared to death and want to shut this thing up as fast as possible. What do you want to bet that Hillary’s comment on the matter of this scandle is - just exactly nothing?

   Katieanne:

   Why is it that there isn’t a despot dictator that these liberals don’t like? ….. How stupid are they?

   Is that a rhetorical question?

   They don’t see it because they are part of the elite in their eyes and get treated as if they are part of these tyrants inner circles … if they had to walk in the shoes of the people that live under the rule of these animals perhaps they would have a different view … but that is not the case … they want so badly to see a Utopian world that they grasp at any perceived government or society that espouses that view … regardless of the facts on the ground …

   They will never change that opinion unless they are personally and directly confronted with suffering at the hands of one of these dictators … and even then it will be difficult for them as they will do their damnedest to find a way to deflect blame from the real cause of the incident …

   Very interesting - I think you’re on to something here. Especially when you remember that the Hollywood elite is preportionately much higher in support of those dictators that any other group, and have - except for being politically empowered - very similar lifestyles.

   Very, very interesting hypothosis, DL.

   Like you Michelle I shall not miss Chuck “the bagel” Hagel … In the linked post they eschew that this leaves another Republican seat without an incumbent … to that I say “Hip Hip Hooray” … part of the problem with the Republicans is the lack of an infusion of new blood … these guys incompetence is the reason the Dems took control of the Congress … not the war … nor any of the other things the Dems like to say they were given a mandate from the voters on …

   Now let’s see Nebraska voters step up to the plate and put someone in the Senate that will stand up for them and for America …

    Mr CC,

    I was watching Tammy Bruce on TV., she was commenting on Oprah’s big fund raiser at her million dollar mansion for Obama. According to Bruce, Obama is a Straw Man. I have had that thought myself. I bet if it was googled someone could find, what Bruce said about Obama. Bruce believes this fundraising will eventually benefit Senator Hillary Clinton, that Obama at some point is going to drop out of the race and donate his Campaign War Chest to Senator Hillary Clinton.

    What do you think it sounds more then plausible to me, it sounds more then likely.

    Laree,

    I’m not sure about that because I don’t know how the law allows or doesn’t allow one campaign chest to simply be tossed over to another candidate. I would hope that there are laws against it, otherwise you could - if you had a modicum of political power - get signatures enough for dozens of candidates to get on the ballot with some kind of inside understanding that at some point they’d drop out of the race, their finances would be turned over to the big candidate in question in return for the promise that a cushy job awaits the wannabie so-called ex-candidate and all the others like him, in an effort to raise big bucks while skirting campaign finance law.

    I will say this: at this point I, too, get the feeling that either A. Clinton and Obama have an understanding of a political courtship of some sort in these proceedings or B, the Clinton camp quietly passed on some dirty, life-destroying threat to Obama (something in his past, whatever) because he has suddenly gotten very quiet on the issue of Hillary, and we know what that usually means. Still, we need to see. It’s easy to get paranoid fast when you’re thinking about people like the Clintons. Another good reason to do everything legally possible to make sure they never get into the White House again.

    I wonder if Harry ” The Body” Reid, Diane Frankenstien, Chuckey “Schmuckey” Schumer and the truly pathetic Dick Turbin got a consulting fee for writing Obama Osama’s speech for him. Maybe we can monitor international banking to trace it back.

    Since when did the Holy Warrior Bin Laden start getting his ideas from an infidel secular athiest, Karl Rove Marx?

    A couple of comments on the Bin Laden tape from this particular media guy:

    1. His speech, while peppered with left-wing ideologies, strikes a few right ones, too, like lower taxes. Generally, in these regards it seems as though he’s illustrating the fact of a great fear of conservatives: that our left-wing media is supplying he and his followers with too many talking points.

    2. Much of this speech sounds like a departure for him. I previously suggested here that I’d be suspicious of both rambling speeches and breaks in continuity. In this we have both. Therefore -

    3. I can’t help but wonder if Bin Laden is no longer in charge, but is being somehow kept as a figurehead. On the video there is a definate energy lacking. This could be due to fatique or his reputed illness, naturally. But the freeze frame with the sudden change in policy points creates fascinating scenarios which should at least be considered, even if only briefly. We have no idea of his whereabouts, condition, and little apparent knowledge of who is immediately in his midst.

    The freeze frame could be a glitch, we’ll only know if a better version is released. But the glitch seems to occur when he starts to break away from his usual talking points. Big point of suspicion on that one. Could be a coincidence, of course - but.

    So let’s throw this one out for the sake of covering all the bases: He may no longer be in charge. He was propped up before the cameras, possibly drugged, and either pieces of of speeches were cut together, there was voice impersonator (the Gov/ analysis can tell us the liklihood of that one) or he was reading a speech prepared and for some reason - a gun to his head, he needed constant stop-and-start prompting, whatever - is why the freeze frame occurs. This is highly speculative and could be 100% wrong, so I don’t throw alot of immediate weight behind it. However, for whatever reason, I’m suddenly struck with the gut feeling that he’s no longer actually in charge. It might also explain the dark beard, something suddenly out of character for him. Perhaps his “handlers” felt it was necessary. Something about this whole thing just feels wrong, and we should be considering all the possibilities, no matter how fanciful.

    DesertLover - You know, if the liberals would only read history, maybe it would be possible for them to open their eyes to reality. However, I think you are right. They are too busy being “elite” that they can’t see the truth; and they probably don’t want to see the truth. They live in a fantasy world.

    For a group of people who supposedly care about the downtrodden, it is ironic that they support the kind of government that abuses the average person the worst. All in all, the left is incredibly stupid.

    Jim Demint is my hero but he can’t do eveything alone. I say it’s time to get rid of all the dead wood in Congress and I do mean both side of the aisle.

    When these clowns put their own careers ahead of the wefare of our veterans and our country, in my opinion, that’s treasonous.

    Throw all the bums out.

    BTW… Good riddance to Hagel and the Goose Creek terrorists???

    To bad it’s not that easy, we need to have shorter terms set. With all the backdoor voting and sheenanagans with the ones that arent up for re-election they walk all over us and take advantage of the system. nothing but a bunch of cons.
