I hurried through my route today to rush home and fire up the univac with the anticipation of a child on Christmas morning.I do so enjoy reading what everybody has to say.The real beauty of our country is the diversity of its population and everyone has a unique set of life experiences to draw on.Sharing what we have learned as we travel through this life enriches all of us.
To all the lurkers out there:
Ours is a small,user-friendly site.We don’t have tens of thousands of people or threads with hundreds of comments so what you have to add to the conversation is seen and appreciated.There is no such thing as a dumb question(unless you’re talking to Helen Thomas.) If you’re looking for a respite from the tsunami of cynicism and negativity that will crescendo as the elections draw near,you have a home.Welcome.
THEY THINK YOU ARE STUPID
Obama points fingers at everyone but himself for the soaring price of gas and the media whores dutifully fall in line.
ROMNEY,SANTORUM RIP INTO EACH OTHER AT PIVOTAL DEBATE
I actually stayed up to watch most of this.It was truly painful.If Santorum lets Romney pimp-slap him,imagine what the Magic Negro would do with the media whores asking the questions.
GINGRICH:IT’S ‘UTTERLY STUPID’ TO SAY YOU CAN’T CONTROL THE BORDER
I still say,finish the fence,beef up the Border Patrol with 30,000 armed National Guard troops with orders to return fire if fired upon.That would do it.Or this.
No interviews,no sightseeing or shopping.Their advisors said it would look bad to show off their lifestyle while everybody else is hurting.She took pains not to draw any attention to herself.
I must confess I enjoyed reading yesterday’s comments as much as I have any in quite a while.
Chrissy and I spend hours researching and posting for you,and we do it out of love.
But the best soloist in the world cannot replicate the fullness of a choir.I know you all appreciate our work,but it is meant to stimulate you to express how you feel.Getting people involved is the only way for our little group to grow.We are surely facing some trying times ahead and we need to support each other to keep our focus on what’s really important.
GP,I could only be your bodyguard if you can come up with bail money.I’m not in physical condition for a confrontation so it’s easier to just shoot somebody.I don’t suffer fools lightly and I don’t intimidate well.
SCOTUS MAY POSTPONE OBAMACARE RULING UNTIL 2016
It makes it that much more important to elect a real Republican and take control of the Senate this year.Remember Bush signed McCain-Feingold thinking that SCOTUS would surely overturn it.They didn’t.Take absolutely nothing for granted.

SHARPTONGUE LASHES OUT AT ‘FAKE CHRISTIANS,’ LIKE FRANKLIN GRAHAM
Keep in mind this pile of chocolate goo started his street-corner preachin’ at the age of 5. He’s gotten bigger physically,especially his piehole.Emotionally,he’s regressed.
FIRST LADY OF LUXURY TRAVEL
I DIDN’T HAVE THE STOMACH TO ADD IT UP,BUT IT’S A LOT
SPAIN: AUGUST 2010
•Michelle Obama and 40 of her friends paid for personal expenses, such as hotels and meals themselves.
•But the U.S. taxpayer would have paid for the 68-strong security detail, personal staff and use of presidential jet Air Force Two.
•Payment for the secret service team ran at around $281 each – nearly $98,000 for the duration of the summer break.
•Use of Air Force Two comes in at $149,900 for the round trip, not including time on the ground.
•Mrs Obama’s personal staff, of which there were an unknown number, should also be taken into account
HAWAII: DECEMBER 2010
According to the Hawaii Reporter the costs were:
•$63,000 on an early flight bringing Mrs Obama and the children to Hawaii ahead of the President

SKI TRIP TO VAIL: FEBRUARY 2011

•They were escorted to the resort by about a dozen vehicles, including 15 state and local law enforcement officers.
MARTHA’S VINEYARD: AUGUST 2011
•The Blue Heron Farm estate, where the Obama family stayed, rents for about $50,000 a week.
•Michelle, Sasha and Malia Obama flew to the estate just hours before the president to make the most of the holiday – again, incurring extra flight costs.
•According to U.S. News and World Report, the Coast Guard was required to keep ships floating near the property. The presidential helicopter and jet remain at the ready and security agents will be on 24-hour duty.
HAWAII: DECEMBER 2011

OBAMA CONTINUES HIS REPUTATION AS THE GREATEST GUN SALESMAN OF ALL TIME
Listen Rick,the media hate conservatives in general;you’re trying to dethrone their king.There is no depth these ravenous wolves will not stoop to to destroy you.Stick to your principles no matter what.It’s hard to stand up again once you’ve been on your knees.
INSIDE THE HIGHLY-ORGANIZED WORLD OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS WHO ARE BUSY ORGANIZING OTHER ORGANIZERS
LATEST POLL SHOWS OBAMA MORE UNPOPULAR THAN GEORGE W. BUSH
This is from the leftist PPP poll;it only took three years.
They dumped raw sewage on W for eight solid years to get his approval this low.
They sprinkle fairy dust on this dictator-wannabe.
Grossness alert. I googled “Santorum” to get a photo for this and it is really DISGUSTING what the Left is doing to him. I thought “teabagger” was gross. This is way worse. I am SO glad I’m not trying to raise kids these days.
Pitchers and catchers report to training camp within 2 weeks.I’m a lifelong Cubs fan,but hope springs eternal.
In response to Mafia Rose’s request,here are videos from yesterday’s CPAC convention.Maybe Chrissy or Bob can load these onto the candidate pages.I still don’t know how to embed videos other than youtubes.
THIS IS NEWT’S SPEECH
THIS IS ANDREW BREITBART’S SPEECH
He says he has video of Barry in college that will come out during the election.
With all due respect,unless it shows him raping Maya Angelou or pissing on the Quran,it will not make an iota of difference to the tribe that blindly follow wherever he leads.
THIS IS GOV. SCOTT WALKER’S SPEECH
This man has put up with more crap than anybody should be made to endure.He is one of the future stars of conservatism.
THIS IS ALLEN WEST’S SPEECH
If you only have time to view one speech,make it this one!!
THIS IS ROMNEY’S SPEECH
THIS IS RICK SANTORUM’S SPEECH
THIS IS THE ANNIE I KNEW AND LOVED
HOW OBAMA BETRAYED HIS CONSTITUENTS–AND WHY THEY WON’T CARE
OBAMA ENDORSES CONYERS
Color me surprised.This fossilized chunk of dinosaur dung has been in the house for 25 terms–that’s 50 YEARS!!But I guess with his wife,Monica,doing prison time for corruption and bribe-taking, he needs the dough.Besides,there are still a few buildings standing in Detroit so his job is not finished.

CARVILLE:GOP,YOUR REAL PROBLEM IS MITT
I never thought I’d see the day when I agreed with the Ragin’ Cajun.But he has a point.
WESTBORO BAPTIST VERMIN TO PROTEST AT POWELL BROTHERS MEMORIAL
These are the two little boys who were hacked to death by their deranged father who set the house on fire and killed himself.He was also suspected of killing his wife 2 years earlier.
Anybody who would make a spectacle of themselves at a memorial for two innocent little boys has earned themselves a special seat in the tenth circle of Hell.They won’t get there fast enough to suit me.
http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=118539
OK,here’s where somebody gets offended.Being the incurable cynic I am,this is madness.Sure,she survived a shooting by a deranged left wing maniac,but why does she deserve to have a warship named after her?Because she’s a sainted liberal victim?Six people actually died in that massacre including a federal judge.Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was murdered with a gun the Mexican cartels got from Holder & Co.
Make no mistake,Giffords is as far left as they come.Maybe Obama arranged this as a make-good since he threw her astronaut husband out of work when he cancelled the space program.Whatever the reason,I can think of a lot of people who would deserve this honor far more than this woman.
NO,WHITE HOUSE NOT ‘COMPROMISING’ ON BIRTH CONTROL MANDATE
First,he has absolutely NO authority to usurp the Constitution.
Second,anything he appears to backtrack on will be quickly reversed a nanosecond after he steals the election.
Third,he claims he’ll force insurance companies pay for contraception.Do you think they’ll pay for it?Nope,their policyholders will–dollar for dollar.
CATERPILLAR SAYS IT WILL NOT BUILD NEW NORTH AMERICAN PLANT IN ILLINOIS
Could it be because Quinn doubled the corporate tax and raised personal income tax by 66%?
That Illinois is the likeliest state to default on its debt,ahead of even California?
That this liberal-infested state has displayed overt hostility to business?
I’d still be working full time transporting Medicaid patients if this crummy state paid its bill.
BABAWAWA:IT’S ‘HEARTBREAKING’ TO MAKE A WOMAN VIEW AN ULTRASOUND BEFORE AN ABORTION
Imagine how ‘heartbroken’ the baby is.

TODAY WOULD BE RONALD WILSON REAGAN’S 101ST BIRTHDAY.

PETE HOEKSTRA IS RUNNING FOR THE SENATE AGAINST DEBBIE SPENDITNOW.THE LEFT IS DISPLAYING THEIR USUAL INDIGNANT PUFFERY OVER THE AD.PETE DEFENDS IT.I THINK IT’S CUTE AS HELL.
LET THE WOOKIE EAT RED VELVET CAKE
After that she can start on a crusty old pair of my shorts.
CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FLAGGING,OBAMA URGES RICH TO BACK NEW SUPER PAC
Remember when he sat the Supremes in the front row at SOTU a couple years ago then ambushed them over the Citizens United decision?I do.
JAY CORNHOLE:PEOPLE DROPPING OUT OF THE WORKFORCE IS ‘ECONOMIC POSITIVE’
They can get unemployment under 8% if they can get another million people to quit looking for work so they don’t have to count them.
ILLINOIS CARP HUNTERS RELEASE NEW VIDEO
I’ve fished this part of the Illinois River for Walleye and White Bass(sometimes called stripers,because of their markings.)PETA’s all upset,but Asian carp are nasty,voracious feeders who grow as long as they live and starve out natural fish populations.I must admit,though,I’ve never worn a football helmet while fishing.
Chrissy:I was going to comment on your post about what would make a great president yesterday but at the time I was seething with such anger I could not control my motor skills.I was watching The Five on FNC as I usually do,just to check out the high heels Kimberley Guilfoile was wearing.(I’m a pig,sue me.)
That fat turd Bob Beckel was wailing about Allen West’s speech at the Lincoln Day dinner. As I was researching today’s thread I came across this article about it.There’s a video of the exchange between turd-boy and Greg Gutfeld.You can figure out what set me off.
DIANE SAWYER QUIZZES DEAR READER ON THE SUPER BOWL AND SINGING
This is a preview of the much-anticipated presidential debates.The outcome is predetermined.
CAMP MITTENS DUPLICITY ON ALLEN WEST WORSE THAN A CONSPIRACY–IT’S A HABIT
I don’t remember when I’ve been so outraged,so disgusted at the GOP.Even though they picked up 2 congressional seats,they redistricted West out to make other republican and democrat seats safer.The Tea Party electees were looked at as interlopers when they came to Wahington.Idealogues are not welcome in the DC den of perdition where everybody gets rich and republicans know their place.
The democrats in Ill-Annoy sure weren’t shy about pushing republican districts together where we face losing some good people.My congressman,Don Manzullo, is a ten-termer who has always stuck with conservatism.Now he’s forced to run against Adam Kinzinger,an Iraq veteran and rising GOP star.We have a difficult choice to make.The game is rigged and I resent it.
PHILLY THUGS ATTACK TAXI,PULL PASSENGER OUT AND PUMMEL HIM BECAUSE HE’S WHITE
This shit is hardly worth mentioning anymore.If you are unarmed,you can be a victim of this heathenous rabble.They think it’s funny to beat up whitey.
YAHOO!NEWS CONTRIBUTOR USES BELLA SANTORUM’S ILLNESS TO ATTACK FATHER
The children of republican candidates are not off limits when it comes to personal attacks.Now do you wonder why true conservatives don’t run for office?
