Elections

Good morning, you sons of bitches.

by

And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war… President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march… Everybody here’s got a vote… Let’s take these sons of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong.

You know who.

Is it sexist that he left out the daughters of bitches? Maybe he is afraid to make the girls mad.

But, have no worries. The foregoing quotation was meant in the nicest possible way.

It would be paranoid and provocative to suggest that an “army” “marching” to “fight” and “win” a “war” by “taking out” the “sons of bitches” so that “Mr. Obama’s army” is the “only winner” was anything more than strictly metaphorical.

Palin?

So she gave a speech in Iowa today and she didn’t pull the trigger either way.

I wish Gov. Palin would just run for president and get serious

Or, give it up, and say so, and go on to whatever her next project is going to be.

Either way would be fine.

I would like her to be part of the debate in the GOP in the next few months.

But I am getting sick of this ongoing dance of a thousand veils from her.

Maybe there is a perverse kind of sense to it, from a personal rather than political standpoint.

Once she declares, she is ordinary, she is just another candidate. She has to debate and get in the cage with the rest of them. She would have to be prepared for that, and despite media claims, none of the other serious contenders are stupid, and beating them in debates will be hard. And then when she runs, and if she loses, as she probably will, then she’s done. The Palin phenomenon is over. I can see why she might want to put off that day. But if it is all about her ego, she should not be president anyway.

She cannot go on milking her celebrity status.

She has to use it or lose it.

(And, of course, this all may be part of some insanely brilliant strategy she is employing that I do not understand. If so, I will eat this blog post when, in the fullness of time, all has been made clear.)

How WRONG would it be to make myself a Quote of the Day???

Any GOP Member who does NOT yell “you lie!” at least once during Obama’s “jobs” speech should be given a primary and run out of town.

About the Tea Party, Let’s Get One Thing Straight Here

Tea Party Patriots Mission Statement and Core Values

 
Mission Statement
 
The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
 
Core Values
 
* Fiscal Responsibility
* Constitutionally Limited Government
* Free Markets
 

The Tea Party is about these core values. Other issues, however worthy they may be, have their own advocates and their own place.

Do not be fooled by the propaganda.

Resolution for the Next 15 Months: Don’t Obsess

by

Elections get me obsessive.

The Internet — with its perpetual incoming tide of news and commentary — is my crack pipe.

But there are way too many important things going on in my world to waste a lot of energy and focus and time on an election I can do nothing to influence.

So, yeah, my plan is to read, and be aware, but don’t be obsessive.

Let’s see how I do.

It will be hard.
