That useful idiot, Jimmy Carter is at it again

Idiot Jimmy says recognize Hamas

Doesn't he get the message, when the American voter voted him out of office via the Landslide of 1980 it was because of his total incompetence in everything that involved running the government, including foreign policy. His idiocy led to Iran becoming the radical Islamic "republic" it is today.

Bottom line is -- SHUT UP JIMMY, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!

Just make all Democrats, those who keep saying everybody should "pay their fair share" of taxes, pay their back (a.k.a "their fair share") taxes. 

1. He hasn't been convicted - in this country you are innocent until proven guilty. 
2. The state Constitution has provisions for impeachment, not for the Supreme Court to remove an unpopular politician
3. The longer he hangs around, the more nervous the Dems will get.  Will he spill his guts about the Chicago machine that gave us our Messiah President-elect.

Just MHO.

If Barney Frank was a heterosexual Republican, this would be all over the news, and there would be calls for him to resign.

Lawmaker Accused of Fannie Mae Conflict of Interest

But then again, this year the media bias is just over the top.

Barack Obama claims he is the candidate that can unite all Americans and end the partisan bickering.  Hey, he can't even unite his own campaign:  Obama says "You are a bad boy Joe"

Why will Obama lose this election?

Because this election is the "New Kid vs. Established Candidate" scenario. Just like 1976, 1988 and to some extent 1992. In each of these elections the "new kid" jumped out to a lead and then tried to hold on. In 1976 (Carter) and 1992 (Clinton) they were able to hold on, but Dukakis in 1988 miserably crashed and burned. With this election so close now, Obama has no place to go but down.

I actually see a reasoning behind this. Most people know the established candidate, in this case John McCain, and they've known them for some time. Therefore, their vote is more solid, i.e. less likely to change. So what if their candidate makes a slip up or has a bad debate, they have a "body of work" that their supporters can feel comfortable with.

But how well do Obama's supporters know him? As the new kid, he has the appeal of freshness, much like Peanut-brain and Dukakis did. As the newness and novelty wore off, their support went down. Those who oppose Obama because of his complete lack of experience probably won't change their minds, as Barack won't get much more experience in the next few months. But everytime that inexperience leads to a gaffe, or the inner politician in him comes out, he will lose votes. In simple words, McCain's support is probably more reliable than Obamas. Both Carter and Clinton had big leads, so they were able to survive their dwindling support. Obama has already lost that lead, and it will just get smaller.

Just my humble opinion

One thing I noticed in Brit Hume's piece on Obama's trip to Germany:

Not Everyone In Germany Ecstatic About Obama's Berlin Speech

He notes that half of the three-quarter of a million dollar price tag was being paid for by the German taxpayers.  Therefore:

1. Shouldn't this be considered a foreign campaign contribution?  The German portion of his trip was campaign financed (see http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/24/obama-cancels-visit-to-us-troops-in-germany/ as it explains why he didn't visit wounded troops).  Therefore if part of the cost is paid by Germans, aren't they (some unwillingly) contributing to his campaign?
2. Why is he campaigning in a foreign country?  He is running for President of the United States, not King of the World.  I think it adds nicely to his aura of arrogance.
   
3. Hey, at least this time, he wasting somebody else's money, not ours.
   

Look at this:

If only Al Gore had been born on Jupiter, they could have avoided this.  But how can they have global warming on Jupiter, maybe they have too many SUV's there.

 

HP to buy EDS for about $13.2 billion in cash

This may not have much to do with politics, but EDS was my first job after I left the Air Force. 

However, what I find intriguing is the HP is paying for EDS in cash. I bet that will take quite a while counting out all that money.  I can picture the scene:

7,236,732 . . . . 7,236,733 . . . . 7,236,734 . . . . . 7,236,735 . . . .(then some guy in the back starts saying some random numbers) . . . .7,236,7....  DAMN IT!!!  I lost count AGAIN!!!!  Now, I have to start all over!!!  Somebody get that jerk out of here!!!!

 

 

Example of typical, no-nothing liberals:

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/AmandaCarpenter/2008/05/01/push_for_anti-war_language_in_dem_platform

Ever since the 1960's, the radical liberals who basically run the Democratic Party have been against wars and any military action at all costs (except when directed by a Democratic President).  Because of this, they have very little knowledge of military strategy, thus they say things that make the jobs of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan much more difficult.

First of all, there is no way those Iranian-backed terrorists in Iraq can defeat our military on the battlefield.  So they've adopted the strategy of the North Vietnamese and jane fonda (a traitor who doesn't deserve her name capitalized), and that is to destroy our will as a country to fight.

So every time the see extensive news coverage of a Code Pink protest, or hear Barack Obama saying he will immediately and unconditionally pull our troops out of Iraq, they see their strategy is working.  This just encourages to plant one more road-side bomb, or ambush another convoy (even if they suffer more casualties), etc.  They know the biased media will play up their actions.

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said "Dissent is Patriotic" - well, that is half right, dissent is patriotic BEFORE THE TROOPS ARE IN THE FIELD!!!  After the vote is taken, and troops are deployed, the debate should end.  Unfortunately, liberals and democrats are driven more by their hatred of President Bush and their lust for power, than their concern for our troops in the field.
