DAMNED REPUBLICRATS

MELTDOWN: THE SET-UP

2009-05-14T01:16:00.001-05:00

TIMELINE:

1. The subprime mortgage crisis reached a critical stage during the first week of September 2008, characterized by severely contracted liquidity in the global credit markets and insolvency threats to investment banks and other institutions.
2. Reserve balances from banks in the Federal Reserve System began increasing over required levels of about $10 billion at the beginning of September 2008, just after the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and just before the stock market crash and presidential debates.
3. Clinton, Obama Harlem meeting 9/11
4. On Friday afternoon September 12, Hank Paulson told Wall Street that the government would not step in to save Lehman.
Barclays walked away from the negotiating table on September 13th or 14th. There was physically not enough time, before the opening of the markets on Monday September 15th, for Lehman to negotiate anything with anyone else. Lehman was forced to file for Chapter 11 on Monday September 15th, and a few days later Barclays was able to cherry pick Lehman's best assets and business units and buy them for a reduced price.

Wall Street Meltdown: The Sky Is Falling
By: Pamela Leavey
September 15th, 2008 @ 9:09 am
6. 16/09/09 "The Scotsman" -- - SLAM. Slam. Slam. Slam. Like a scene from a gathering of Mafia dons, the doors of 30 black Lincolns slammed shut as their besuited occupants stepped out into a Manhattan downpour – and into a global financial storm. That storm broke yesterday, with stock markets tumbling around the world. In London, the FTSE 100 plunged almost 4 per cent to 5204.2. Scotland's banking giants were among the biggest victims. HBOS slumped 17.5 per cent; Royal Bank of Scotland lost 12.2 per cent. In the US, the Dow Jones industrial average suffered its biggest fall since 9/11
7. On The Financial Crisis McCain Gives Speech, Obama Holds Press Conference

8. Rupert Cornwell: Wall Street meltdown rekindles Obama's fire Out of America: After a summer in which the Republican candidate has made all the running, events are at last starting to fit the Democrats' script.
According to James Campbell, the mid-September financial crisis hit the 2008 presidential election like a bolt out of the blue, transforming it from a horserace in which John McCain had a real chance of victory into a one-sided contest in which Barack Obama enjoyed a decisive advantage.

Bill Clinton: He's really, really glad to see John McCain
Exerpt:
John McCain, in suspending his presidential campaign to (eventually) head back to Washington from New York to help the push for a financial rescue plan, may have nixed a planned appearance on "Late Night with David Letterman" and cancelled a chat with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
But McCain wasn't about to snub his old friend, Bill Clinton, this morning. And the ex-president, for all his expressions of support for Barack Obama and predictions of victory in November for his fellow Democrat, continues to give the impression he's definitely hedging his bets.
DON'T WE JUST KNOW IT!!!

On the campaign trail, he called himself a man of faith.

Parents dressed their children with his message.
YES, THEY DID!!!

They gathered to worship and cheer his election as The One.
YES, THEY DID!!!

They called him a messiah.
YES, THEY DID!!!
But since the day he took his oath of office, he has given the world nothing but dispair.
He has returned evil for good.

Mr. Obama,
My last post was a simple explanation of your only role in the government everyone presumes you run. However, the truth is becoming all too clear much more quickly than even I thought it would, (and I KNEW it would,) isn't it?
In the past week, you have provided more evidence for my analysis than I ever dreamed possible. The least you might have done is be a little less blatant about it, but you, being the "smartest man to ever assume the presidency," don't seem quite smart enough to cover who you really are and what you have always been...a common street thug who, when given the opportunity to actually be something more, (even if it's just for appearances,) just can't hide the spots you wear on your back or leave your thuggishness behind.
Like many of the hip-hop celebrities, money, and/or position, only makes them glow in the dark and highlights their lack of self-control. Their excesses are on a worldwide stage for everyone to see...and hear. Instead of acting with some kind of dignity, they have just moved their ill manners and thuggery into better digs. They remain who they are, trouble walking...with a bit more money and a lot of notoriety.
And thus you come to us, a street thug, disguised as a statesman, a messiah, a president, when in reality, you are a stupid, corrupt Chicago politician who could not hide his eagerness to defile the Whitehouse for even a day.
Your handlers offered you a golden cup from which you eagerly gorged yourself on, but I wonder how long it will be before even they say enough. You are already out of control. Only the most psyched-out freaks who actually believe you are something will continue to believe you are anything.
Anyone with neurons firing on the merest rudimentary basis cannot help but see you are not even just a faker in an empty suit. You are an empty shell. Narcissistic, greedy, and stupid are only a few of the adjectives that describe you. Your gluttony for the spotlight and highlife will consume you. Unfortunately, it might consume us as well.
At this particular moment, there isn't enough time for all the links and photos that illustrate what you are, so I'll update it later. But suffice it to say, that you tell us we must freeze, while firing up the heat for yourself. You serve up $120.00 per pound steaks at a party while self-righteously calling corporate CEOs shameful... Oh, my Lord, Mr. O. You make me gag.
In the meantime, party on, dude, while you can.
You are a stench on the fabric of this country, Mr. O. History will record your excesses and antics and we will not forgive you. We will watch your arrogant swagger and your condescending attitude and hear the lies dripping like honey from your wretched mouth, and we will not forgive you. Not for what you are, and not for the damage that your pretender throne has already done and will continue to do.
PARTY TIME
Obama slams Wall Street over bonuses...
'Shameful'...
'Height of irresponsibility'...
You can fool some of the people.....(and THIS is just the small stuff.)

HIGH HO HILLARY AS SECRETARY OF STATE

GOT TO BE MY WORST NIGHTMARE

Oh, Bama

2009-01-24T16:51:00.007-05:00

Mr. Obama,
You might be president today, but your title does not make you a god, as much as you like to think it does.
You know, and WE know that your "victory" was the culmination of the criminal stacking of every government agency, including the courts, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies, with insane,leftist ideologues formerly known as Clintonistas.
WE know that McCain was chosen to insure your election. None of us wanted McCain. He was forced upon us by the same vapid RINO elitists for whom Conservatism is a dirty word. He is you in whiteface, Mr. Obama, and we like him about as much as we like you. Not so much.
Had you run a clean election without the black racism directed against any white candidate, you would have had your butt handed to you on a cookie sheet.
Had you run against a real conservative, black racists would not have overwhelmed the polls because many more of us would have voted. So what makes you think you can intimidate us the way you have tried to do and get away with it? The more you try to shut us up, the harder we will fight.
" 'You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,' he, (Obama,) told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package."
WHAT???
We know that the Clintons pull your chain. You get to live in a real nice house, dude, but if you move in any direction they don't want you to, eviction is right around the corner.
The whole election process is completely broken BECAUSE THE LEFT HAS BROKEN IT.
Remember, Mr. O, that fully half the American electorate did NOT vote for you. And many more than that would not have voted for your mentors, Clinton 1 OR 2.

CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

Contrary to the media's opinion, we are not stupid as bricks.

SMELL THE CHANGE???

WE know that Hillary Clinton's ties to Chicago evil was forged long before you came on the scene. Before YOU, pup, in her final year at Wellesley, Rodham wrote her senior thesis about the tactics of radical community organizer SAUL ALINSKY, your hero.

LONG BEFORE THE O

Oh, yeah, man. She had it down with the struggle before you took your first breath of Chicago stink.
In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing in the prologue,
"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default."
Tony Rezko was HERS before he was YOURS. So was every appointee in your administration, not the least of whom is Rahm Emanuel, your "Chief of Staff." You think we don't know who HE reports to? It was ALL hers. And now, you are too.

TONY, BILL, AND HILL, BEFORE OBAMA

Hillary could never have won election on her own and Bill had too much to lose. What is the next best thing? Use a sock puppet. YOU are the sock puppet, Mr. O. You do the play, but Bill and Hill wrote the script.
Your so-called "Memorandum of Understanding" with Bill and Hill isn't worth the paper it's written on. Sham. Scam. LIE!!
According to Senator Bob Casey, Lord help us, from PA, "But this — I think there are three, at least three points about this memorandum of understanding between Senator Clinton as well as her husband, the former president, and the new administration. And it's this — they're disclosing information that's never been disclosed before. It's voluntary. They don't have to do it. There is no legal requirement."
NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT. REPEAT!!! NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT!!!

SMART (GAG) POWER

According to The NY Daily News, Clinton will attempt to preside over a trans-Potomac shift of power from the Pentagon to the State Department...(among other things, including influence over the economy of the entire globe.)

BE VERY AFRAID...

They don't care about ideology or party affiliation either. All they care about is personal power, and it never mattered who they sold the country out to to achieve it whether it be Red China or the Muslim Sheiks.

ONE PICTURE IS WORTH....?

That doesn't make YOU a god. Gods have power. You are a minor demon. You have masters. Gee. I thought Lincoln took care of that. But I forget. YOU volunteered for this gig, didn't you, Mr. O? It is surreal to observe people like you who have no conscience. You, of course, wouldn't know about that, would you?

CLINTON DIPLOMACY

"In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the proposal, the president shot back: 'I won,' according to aides briefed on the meeting."
The "I won" comment came after Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Republicans believed cutting income tax would do more to stimulate economic growth than providing a $500 per person payroll tax refund for individuals earning less than $200,000. The president said, according to those present, that this was an important philosophical divide between Republican and Democrats and that it had already been settled -- and would remain settled -- because he won the election."

Any Republicans who allow you to run roughshod over the Constitution and us, U S, without a fight is not going to ingratiate themselves to us OR to the heartland of America. Truly, I hope they know that. They are all that is standing between the survival of a free country or final tranformation into a fascist state.

EGADS!!!

That is not a rhetorical statement. It is all too true.

HIGH HO HILLARY AS SECRETARY OF STATE

MR. BILL and MS. HILL

2008-11-18T02:33:00.007-05:00

THE BREW, MY PRETTY!!!
Pic attribution: rushlimbaugh.com

Do not underestimate the Clintons' connections, money, and influence in high, high places, (and very low places.) Check it out. Hillary would never have been elected president. Looked like she might be falling out of it until New Hampshire.
McCain NEVER would have been Conservative's pick for president. He was dead...until New Hampshire.
What happened in New Hampshire? The pollsters were flabbergasted since the Big O was ahead by 10.
Barack Obama, is and was, the Clinton's stalking horse all along. Don't forget she is also an Alinsky critter from Chicago. She couldn't be elected, but he just might with the right "guidance."
The game was afoot. From there on, Bill made sure that Hill made a good showing, but subtley shot her down every step of the way. Both he and she had way too much to lose if she had been elected. The scrutiny into shady dealings would have been microscopic in detail. All their finances would have had to be placed in a blind trust. Bill would have had to curtail all of his extramarital activities...not to mention some of his more notorious friendships with criminals around the world.
Democrats allowed to vote in Republican primaries chose McCain. Huckabee, a Clinton friend and neighbor from the same hometown, for heaven's sake, stayed in the race, threw votes to McCain to slam Romney and finally force him out.
Hillary won primaries in places Obama barely campaigned. And when it came down to the wire, Hillary "graciously" betrayed her supporters and backed Mr. O. TOO easy. Hillary is NOT THAT EASY!!!

O picked Biden. Good Lord! A clown for VP. No one takes him seriously. He's just Joe.
McCain picked Palin because he thought she was a hick, never thought she would go off like a shooting star. It backfired on him, and she was a smash hit with everyone he thought he had already turned off. So his campaign tried to hide her, and when she was still a major draw, McCain became almost a dunce on the campaign trail, saying exactly the wrong things at the wrong time, or saying the same things over and over ad nauseum. They tried to force Palin into the same MO.

SARAH STILL!!!

Remember the friendly, "make-up" meeting right before a weekend with Mr. Bill, who had stayed obviously "petulant" to the press, and "vindictively" out of sight on the campaign trail for Obama.
The date of this meeting was September 11.
Then lo and behold. Obama comes out Monday with an entire new campaign based solely on the economy. We are informed that AIG is going down. Everything is going down. Crisis after crisis from the Fed. Chaos is the rule and it never had to happen. So why did it?
Why did McCain make a special stop at Clinton's Foundation fundraiser to kiss the ring before going to DC to monkeywrench Republicans who didn't want to vote for the bailout? When I saw him on stage hugging "his great friend," Bill Clinton, I knew it was over.
I have seen Bill Clinton do exactly this kind of thing before. He scammed Netanyahu into a "peace deal" with Arafat by making a solemn promise to him. Right before the cameras rolled, Clinton hugged Netanyahu in front of all the reporters and cameras, and whispered in his ear that, "Oh, by the way, I lied."

THE DAY CLINTON HUGGED NETANYAHU...

Netanyahu was soon thereafter charged with a crime he never committed and spent years trying to gain back his reputation before he was cleared. Carville went to Israel to help a Clinton psychophant win the Israeli election. Ironically, another Barack, who gave Arafat everything he ever wanted, and then some, until Arafat turned the tables and shafted Mr. Bill. Otherwise, there would be no Israel left to speak of.
Remember Billy Dale?

Read About It

Read About It

Bill Clinton had turned Freddie and Fannie into a Democrat fiefdom. His friends made gazillions stealing the Fed blind and covering for bad actors in the mortgage industry. Clinton had stacked every agency in the government with his own people. He stacked the courts.
McCain threw this election just as sure as I am sitting here...and so did Hillary.
McCain gets a few bones. Hillary gets power. Bill gets even more power. The Clintons will control most major cabinet positions, AND Rahm Emanuel. They have literally emptied the treasury and their friends are still partying with our money.
Seeing McCain with O today sent chills down my spine. War hero or not, Mccain has always been a snake. It will be worse now.
Clinton had 16 years to move all these pieces into place. Eight as president and eight years of Bush, while becoming Daddy Bush's "adopted son."

DADDY BUSH'S BOYZZZ

They had a vindictive John McCain who was so full of resentment against Conservatives that his most ardent desire was to get even. It was personal, not patriotic,...a vendetta.
Now here we are on the precipice of a world disaster the likes of which we have never seen.
Of course Bill didn't do this singlehandedly. Plenty of help from the Soros groups, other billionaire crime types, leftist Hollywierds and looneytunes, and let us not forget race based poverty pimps.
Our country has been stolen. I don't know how, or if, we will ever get it back.

Jack Murtha-Pennsylvania Poison

2006-06-10T07:28:00.001-05:00

"If ever the animal kingdom had a member with "asshole" encoded innately into its genetic structure, that animal would be the deer fly. More than any other insect, these bastards will actively seek out people to chew on. Deer flies are attracted to human flesh like psychopaths to Scientology."
"If you've never felt it before, a deer fly bite is about as comfortable as a vascetomy performed with a rusty butterknife by a drunken carnival ride operator. For any readers who are testicularly-impaired, that's bad."

Quotes above attributed to "Brad." (N0t Pitt...)
However, if this is not a perfect description of the prick and run tactics of John Murtha, I don't know what is.
Now they say only the females suck blood, but mutations have been known to happen. One broken allele and whap. Something changes.
For those who haven't had much experience with deer flies, these critters are kamikazees that divebomb human beings and draw blood before you even know you've been hit.

And so it is with backshooter from the backroom, Democrat scumbag, Johnny Pat Murtha. By the time you realize you have been "pricked" by Abscam Jack,your blood is already flowing. In order to react fast enough, it has to be BEFORE you enter deerfly airspace.
We can no longer fall prey to the too often misused tactic of calling one's self a war hero because all that glitters does not a hero make, and no one knows this better than the corrupt politicians, D AND R, who use this tactic only to prove to us over and over again that they dishonor those whom we honor and devalue everything we hold dear...including The Constitution.
It is a most outrageous insult to call for the executions of seven Marines and a Navy Corpsman being held in solitary confinement in the Brig in Camp Pendleton shackled from waists to feet, without being charged with any crime, while everything Murtha claims to be is a self-perpetuated fantasy, a sham to get himself into office.
Jean Schmidt deserves the medals you have CLAIMED for telling you to your face in front of the world what we all know. Cowards cut and run. Marines never do.
It is increasingly obvious that being sideswiped by the mendacious Murtha hits hard at our very core values and sends us running for duct tape tournequets to stop the hemorrhaging. Anything within the man that might once have resembled honor, if indeed there ever was any, which is questionable at best, has given way to the bitter bile of filthy, disgusting, raw politics with no sense of conscience.
There has not even been a backward glance at the unfathomable damage done to our finest homegrown patriots who are still in harm's way; no sleepless nights for the man whose words and actions have increased their danger levels exponentially; whose lofty pronouncements are made with every intention of destroying the morale of our own brothers and sisters, mother and fathers, and friends in myriad untold ways; no passing thought to those already wounded or those who will be whose blood, more probably than not, drips invisibly from his fingers.
How DARE this self-vaunted, supposed hero take a public position calling for the EXECUTION of US Marines before an investigation is complete, charges have been filed, a courts martial conducted, and no verdict brought?
How dare he call himself a "former" Marine? There is no such thing. There are Marines and EX Marines. HE is an EX Faux-Marine...period.
These POWs are the men and women whose TRUE bravery and patriotism gave YOU the freedom to enhance the odds they will die because YOU are free. YOU are the one who should be shackled and charged with cold-blooded murder because you are surely responsible for deaths every time you show your two faces, both of which are deceptive in the extreme.

PA Poison-Copperhead in Camo

PA Poison-Murtha in Camo

Listen up! Murtha was more than happy to advise Bill Clinton on how to destroy the entire infrastructure of Yugoslavia, an enduring ally, to protect Muslim terrorists, (KLA,) knowing that the claims of widespread genocide against the Al Qaeda backed druglords and warlords was rendered by Clintonista propaganda.

When Democrats Smile Big...

When you aid and abet the enemy, you are an enemy. Jack Murtha, I am an American, and YOU are my enemy.

They Lie Big

I once told him I would prefer to vote for a scorpion knowing it was a scorpion, than for a craven, whining, corrupt politician who cares more about the seat in which it sits than the people he was elected to serve. I am tired of seeing his brown nose stuck up Nancy Pelosi's skirt gleefully adding up the American body count.

Venomous Devil in Full Metal Jacket

We do not want this shadow of a man representing us. I do not want to see or hear his ugliness pasted all over the Islamic world and our own marxist-affiliated mainstream media giving our sworn enemies additional reasons to pillage and murder more innocent civilians with more barbarbarism and brutality than any AMERICAN force in the history of the world could even begin to imagine.
YOU, Murtha, diminish us. You have been reduced to nothing more than Nancy Pelosi's toilet paper for the rest of your unworthy life and you should be in jail along with the rest of your fellow travelers. Firing Squads for treason should be reinstated and every damn last one of you traitorous bastards should face one...over and over and over for what you have done to this nation.

Marine Corps Motto: (excerpt from Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines, copyright 2001 Marion F. Sturkey)
The Marine Corps adopted Semper Fidelis as its official motto in 1883 (Semper Fidelis is also the title of the official musical March of the Marine Corps). Translated from Latin, Semper Fidelis means "Always Faithful." U.S. Marines use an abbreviated verbal version, "Semper Fi," to voice loyalty and commitment to their Marine comrades-in-arms. Previous mottos of the Marine Corps were (1) To the Shores of Tripoli, adopted in 1805; (2) Fortitude, adopted in 1812; (3) From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli, adopted in 1848; and (4) By Sea and by Land, adopted in the 1850's.

You have either forgotten or it never meant anything to you but a phoney medal and a vote. Jack Murtha, you were never fit to wear the uniform. You were never fit to run for high office. You were a loser then, and this time, your loss will be complete. You will NEVER be Majority Leader from MY DISTRICT if there is any justice whatever left on this earth.

DIANA IREY FOR CONGRESS!
YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!!!

MORE LA RAZA GOODY BAG

2005-07-11T15:30:00.001-05:00

Update: July 11, 2005:
Since writing the last article, it has come to my attention that there are all too many people who have separated LaRaza from M.E.Ch.A in the mistaken belief that the newer, kinder, gentler LaRaza is not nearly as radical and does not share the same goals as MEChA. This notion is perpetuated by the slick propaganda which LaRaza used when it changed its name, then moved off campuses and into political offices and businesses seeking patrons, much like the race pimps we have all come to know and love so well.
It began as La Raza Unida Party, built upon the same ideology as those who are laying the same claims to "stolen" lands and receiving guidance from a master of the artform. The outgrowth of this twisted ideology, birthed by those who desire to steal from others what they could never have built for themselves, was Aztland, a mythical land that never existed in history, just as Palestine never existed in history.

WELCOME TO AZTLAND!

Excerpt:
The myth of Aztlan can best be explained by California's Santa Barbara School District's Chicano Studies textbook, "The Mexican American Heritage" by East Los Angeles high school teacher Carlos Jimenez. On page 84 there is a redrawn map of Mexico and the United States, showing Mexico with a full one-third more territory, all of it taken back from the United States. On page 107, it says "Latinos are now realizing that the power to control Aztlan may once again be in their hands."
Shown are the "repatriated" eight or nine states including Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington. According to the school text, Mexico is supposed to regain these territories as they rightly belong to the "mythical" homeland of Aztlan. On page 86, it says "...a free-trade agreement...promises...if Mexico is to allow the U.S. to invest in Mexico...then Mexico should...be allowed to freely export...Mexican labor. Obviously this would mean a re-evaluation of the border between the two countries as we know it today." Jimenez's Aztlan myth is further amplified at MEChA club meetings held at Santa Barbara Public Schools.
The book, paid for by American tax payers, cites no references or footnotes, leaving school children totally dependent on their teacher to separate fact from opinion and political propaganda. The book teaches separatism, victimization, nationalism, completely lacks patriotism towards the United States, and promotes an open border policy. The book is 100 percent editorial -- the opinions of the author.
*******************************************************************

The trouble is, this is not Israel which is the size of a postage stamp. From 1969, they could never do what Arafat did with only Mexican membership. Arafat recruited his terrorists from ALL the Arab nations surrounding Israel.
Enter MEChA. Get militant. Get rowdy. Partner up with established terrorists. Make threats and demands on them damn gringos until you get something. Anything. Because THEN you become "legitimate." Just like a "palestinian."
From 1969 until now, the LaRaza Unida Party, aka, MEChA, aka LaRaza Commission Center, invited ALL the "similar" people they once desparaged to join, continued to evolve into National Council of LaRaza and became a "unity" struggle for ALL Spanish speaking peoples. They have copied the palestinian model right down to their fabricated "history" which is without any foundation or basis in reality.
It is poison they have rammed down the throats of children for thirty-six years and realize that those children are now in THEIR thirties themselves and this has become their reality as surely as the Arabs' vision of "palestine."

La Raza Music?

JUST as surely, this great land has room and a heart. Most of us have ONLY asked anyone who desires to come here LEARN to be an AMERICAN!!! Doors are open. Dreams come true. There is no reason on earth why Mexico, or any other nation, should remain fouled, poor, uneducated, and desolate but for their own leaders who would rather hold power than allow their people to have even the smallest scrap.
So EVERYONE comes here for a piece of what we have built, not understanding that freedom and justice for all really meant something until they began eroding it to take our freedoms and our justice away. We are NOT China with millions of poor, uneducated, nearly starving peasants living in huts on hillsides while a few people issue edicts and "laws" to ensure they stay that way and don't burden the "state" by grasping at freedom for themselves. But that is where you and your ilk are successively leading us.
When you, and many other duped "victim" groups LIKE you, finally get us there, do you really believe that your patrons will allow you a seat at their table?
If you do, let me enlighten you. Those who BEGAN, or took over, each and every "foundation" that supports you, and even supports the Chinese government, will NEVER allow you to become anything more than hired guns. When you have taken us out of the equation, nothing stands between them and their vision of absolute power over literally everything in the world. More on THIS FACT coming as soon as I can get it up here.
For now, let me remind you that Arafat was a billionaire and he died in the dust of his corruption, stinking, filthy, and vile to his last breath. He NEVER sat at their table. But he surely did their dirtywork.
IF you can think straight, it's Spain you should be at war with. Spain owes you reparations. It's Spaniards who killed off the indigenous populations in the far southwest, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Central America, AND South America.
It's Spaniards who stole the land, the wealth, converted you by force and still hold on to the reins of power in your lands either by force or corruption or both. So I'd REALLY like to know which RAZA YOU bunch of thieves represent? Is it the Mayans? Incans? Aztecs? What...?
You curs kill off the remnants of your own native peoples but you will not fight your own filthy governments for your OWN land? What the hell is wrong with this picture?
I mean, how do you think you got to be LATIN America in the first place? Is it your intent to reconquer America for Spain who was so weak it couldn't hold it for itself? Some freedom you had then, eh? You think you owe them allegiance now? Or have you become them? In which case, go THERE and make your demands.
La Raza is now a triple tiered organization designed specifically to create buffer zones between the political and business factions, so-called charitable factions, and the student factions.
We have all seen plenty results of those who began before you did. Smile in our faces while the knife slices the flesh in our backs. Ever hear of RUKN? Ask Jesse the jack. He knows much about being holy hell.
Tier 1 is the poorest and most uneducated, increasingly illegal, Latinos up to MEChA student organizations recruiting on campus, pronouncing solidarity with the radical Islamist groups for purposes of anti-white, anti-America, and anti-Israel protest. They reach deep into the self-imposed segregation of their "communities" to the youngest of children using exactly the same kinds of hate rhetoric you will see in any Jihadi organization which teaches from the top down while supposedly promoting (providing) education, providing healthcare to those who could receive it elsewhere but are "taught" not to, KEEPING them poor and uneducated to control the population.

If you don't want to click the link on their page to see LaRaza and Arafat in "the old days," I'll save you the trouble.

LA RAZA MISSION STATEMENT
The history of La Raza Commission Center is one that was conceived and fostered by student political activism. La Raza Commission Center was originally founded by Movimiento Estudiantil Chican@ de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A.) in 1981. M.E.Ch.A. was born out of the barrios in 1969, at the height of U.S. social unrest as communities of color demanded social and economic justice. M.E.Ch.A. formulated its direction from the barrios, committed to grass roots organizing and taking actions on behalf of its communities. M.E.Ch.A. Commission changed its name to La Raza Commission Center in 1997 to ensure inclusion amongst all Latin@s and breakdown nationality division as we see social and economic issues and concerns in Latin@ communities related and interconnected.
Although the name of the Commission has changed to La Raza to make all Latin@s feel included and to develop a comprehensive understanding of Latin America, its political philosophies remain parallel to M.E.Ch.A. Political alignment with M.E.Ch.A. philosophies maintain a progressive effort to improve the conditions of our communities.

LaRaza now receives federal funds, has the same foundations backing them as b-movement.org, the euthanasia crowd, and other usual suspects which I will certainly name in the near future.
In the meantime, anyone reading this might understand my dismay at the latest news release by LaRaza which contains a list of honored speakers and guests... and I strongly suggest that some of these people get a long overdue education about what is going on here.

Many of these people, have their hearts in the right place. It is, with some notable exceptions, for most of us, an instinctive response to WANT to help those less fortunate, but after the events I have been through in my lifetime, I must admit, my compassion has long since run out. I have seen that you can pity people to DEATH where they are, or pity them to our ultimate suicide where we are. Neither option is to my liking. The power to elicit pity is evil's most powerful weapon.
I expect the Attorney General of the United States, who knows this group far too well to play the rest of us for fools, to either tell the truth and denounce this pirhana that is eating its own people alive, or say he believes what they stand for and GO AWAY!!!
IF George Bush is truly YOUR friend, Mr. Gonzales, you harm him every day by witholding information about this group and their philosophy. George Bush is a compassionate man. It is hard to see suffering. But WE did not cause it and we don't owe you a damn thing.

NO CHANGE AT ALL

THE LA RAZA GOODY BAG

2005-07-05T14:00:00.001-05:00

You have to know that I am watching this drama over the Supreme Court nomination almost not daring to take a breath. Everywhere I turn, the name, Alberto Gonzales, is thrown out there because, they say, he is George Bush's friend.
I'm sorry, but that cannot, and should not, EVER be a reason to nominate such a shakey candidate to the highest court in the land. Especially when it already seems to have lost most of its original intent with a series of the most devastating rulings ever handed forth in such a short period of time.
The fear in the hearts of the real power brokers in this country have forced them to do as much damage as quickly as they could before the president ever got the chance to set the court back on a Constitutional path and they think our backs are against the wall now.
Something happened on the way to these obscene rulings. The Minuteman Project happened. This project was not seen as a threat when it began. They labeled them, as leftist agitprop usually does, as a few redneck troublemakers. Clinton perfected that technique and got away with it. No real grassroots movement ever got past the Clinton warroom strategy.
But here we had young and old, black and white, Hispanics, Christians, and Jews, men and women and children, militias and, dare I say it, even skinheads and Nazis JOINED in a common cause...to PROTECT and DEFEND AMERICA.
This is exactly why the clintonistas divided us into minimalist groups speaking in so many different tongues for perceived wrongs that never really existed until the Clinton Administration and the ACLU SAID they did. Enter Ginsberg, a REAL manly woman with hair on her legs thicker than King Kong's. Fomenting hate across the land was their power and they turned it into an artform with the help of too many willing RINOS and race pimps in their goody bags.
One of those racially charged groups was La Raza. We all know their slogan.
"For those within 'the race,' everything; for those outside 'the race,' nothing."
The National Council of LaRaza confirms that Alberto Gonzales is one of their members. Not simply *one of their members,* but held a rather high office in their ranks.
Jesus Lopez, who immigrated legally to the United States, resents the agenda being pushed by groups like La Raza. He's also upset that a possible Attorney General like Gonzales would associate with what Lopez calls "racist organizations who want to take back the borders states through invasion, promote open borders, voting for illegal aliens, driver's licenses for illegal aliens and an official proclamation of sorts for their own culture."
Lopez said he and his family had to wait their turn to legally enter the United States and they are proud to be Americans first and says organizations like La Raza don't want to promote harmony but are militant.

NCLR backed Gonzales not just because he is Hispanic, but because of his record in Texas as a secretary of state and counsel to then-Gov. George W. Bush.
It was Bush, and his counsel Gonzales, who halted any initiative similar to California's Proposition 187 to deny children of illegal immigrants state-paid education and health benefits.
"Gov. Bush stopped it cold in Texas, and Alberto Gonzales had a role in that," said Lisa Navarrete, an NCLR spokeswoman.
Gonzales was the governor's counsel when Bush opposed measures to end affirmative action and bilingual education in Texas and supported measures to increase educational opportunities for English-language learners, Navarrete said.

Now, you *stupid* rednecks, that is YOUR tax money. It's YOUR kids who fall behind while so many others are pretending to catch up. It's YOU who might well lose your job if you don't speak Spanish in America. You see the ads in the classifieds. If you smoke, don't show up. If you're fat, don't show up unless you're Hispanic. If you don't speak Spanish....well, kill yourself now because you are being bankrupted anyway.
(With tongue firmly planted in cheek lest I offend the *religion of peace,* you don't have to kill yourself. They will gladly do it for you AFTER they cross the Rio Grande using Vincente's guidebook.)
Gonzales has not stepped away from his loyalty to La Raza even as Attorney General.
He has never condemned the bare racism exposed in their slogan, which to my mind, puts him on the same level as the Islamic Cleric, or a Louis Farakhan, who speaks softly of peace in public but spends the time with his people fomenting ways to force a takeover, piece by piece in exacly the same way. The rest of the time is spent making excuses or ridiculous accusations of racism to force their radical views on an America which simply wanted to live and let live. They speak eloquently of THEIR civil rights, but for us, nothing.

---U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO GONZALES TO SPEAK AT 2005 NCLR CAPITAL AWARDS GALA

Washington, DC – U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will address participants at the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) 2005 Capital Awards on Tuesday, March 8 at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. The gala begins with a reception at 5:30 p.m., which is followed by the awards program and dinner at 6:30 p.m. This is the Attorney General’s first major address to a national Latino audience since his confirmation last month.

NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguia will also address the more than 800 persons who are expected to attend this year’s event honoring Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Representative Chris Cannon (R-UT) for their work in Congress on behalf of the Latino community on issues such as education, immigration, and health care.---

Remarks of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
National Council of La Raza (NCLR) Capital Awards
March 8, 2005
Thank you Janet.
It's a pleasure to be here tonight, among friends. I want to thank President Murguia and the Board of Directors for the opportunity to be here.
Janet and I have a lot in common these days. We have both recently been promoted.
We've both been given the opportunity to lead distinguished institutions. We are among the lucky few who have the challenge and the privilege of seeking justice for the wronged, giving voice to the voiceless, and securing a future of opportunity and hope for our people and for the nation.
That's not bad work if you can get it.
Just three weeks ago, at my swearing-in ceremony at the Department of Justice, I had many people to thank but little time to thank them. So I wisely limited myself to the people who were up on the stage with me: my mom, my wife, and the President of the United States.
But I also have this organization to thank for its support of my nomination as Attorney General. Over the years, La Raza and the Bush Administration have not always agreed on every issue. But we have stood together firmly in our commitment to widening and deepening opportunities for Hispanic-Americans. I am humbled and grateful to stand on the shoulders of groups like La Raza. And the future I see from this vantage point is filled with even higher vistas of accomplishment and opportunity. I see a future that fulfills the dreams of a great people and the promise of a great nation.
Tonight the National Council of La Raza honors those who are building this future.
Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Chris Cannon are statesmen in the purist sense of the word. They don't share our heritage, but they share our values. ---

Uh...Chris Dodd???
We threw open our doors and our hearts fervently wanting to believe that these, or any other, latecomers wanted to love this country as much as we did. That has not been true since WWII, and the underground war has grown exponentially since Vietnam with the introduction of Mao through VVAW, John Kerry, Jane Fonda and the ponytail set on our colleges where these completely insane groups make no pretense of trying to hide their hatred of us stupid American *rednecks.*
We are not Mexicans OR Arabs. Though we are of many ethnicities, WE ARE AMERICANS!
When they come, it should NOT be *THE RACE.* It should be America for Americans. If it ain't to their liking, they should find themselves a deserted island somewhere and off themselves.
As a Supreme Court Justice, Gonzales will most assuredly vote to allow the continuation of exterminating babies.
The Geneva convention doesn't apply to terrorists. I guess in some sick, disgusting, illogical Ginsbergian world, crying little beasties incapable of feeding themselves or changing their own diapers certainly wouldn't know what to do with Orange Glazed Chicken and probably couldn't pronounce *Pilaf* ARE the REAL terrorists so off with them. Such a massive inconvenience oh, don't they they allow serial killers to roam the streets and 17 year olds to commit the most heinous crimes imaginable, yet, oh, my Lord!!! They're CHILDREN!
But I digress.
He will be deciding issues relating to immigration, property, and our civil rights, and his views are those of his mentors.
George Bush calls him a friend, but I have watched George Bush's friends, who were really his father's friends, including his own father, stab him in the back repeatedly. It seems to me that misplaced loyalty can only kick your ass and the more you present it, the more whuppins await you.
EVERYTHING this country has ever stood for is at stake in this, and one other probable appointment.
I will judge Bush's entire legacy on this appointee because if he chooses wrongly, in the end, no matter what has gone before, this country will lose itself completely and the past 229 years will end with some freak burning the Stars and Stripes and triumphantly pronouncing from loudspeakers that America is dead.
Oh. Do I sound racist or a tad bigoted? Little old Evil Conservative me? Sorry. It really won't work with me. I'm the minorities' minoritiest minority no matter which minority you choose. Yes. I'm THAT good...and THAT angry.

SOROS, THE SNAKE CHARMER?

(Or how John 'The Don' McCain serves his master.)

Well, let's take a short walk through the rock garden McCain inhabits.

Who is John McCain?
(Click for full article)
Jun 16th 2005
From The Economist print edition

HE IS every American liberal's favourite Republican. He has a long history of championing liberal causes such as campaign-finance reform (with Russ Feingold) and immigration reform (with Teddy Kennedy). He recently derailed the attempt by Senate Republican leaders to junk the delaying filibuster technique for judicial appointments; and he is one of Congress's leading worry-warts on global warming.…

McCain deplores anti-Kerry ad
White House declines to repudiate it
(Click for full article.)

The Associated Press
Updated: 1:51 p.m. ET Aug. 5, 2004
WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry’s military service “dishonest and dishonorable” and urged the White House on Thursday to condemn it as well.
The White House declined.

*Necessary comment on this particular issue- - - -
John McCain comparing his service and POW status to that of John Kerry's *service* in Vietnam just shouts with, "Methinks thou doth protest too much."
Having been aquainted with many Vietnam Veterans, rarely have I seen them jump out of thin air and PROCLAIM themselves heroes to affect advancement for themselves, whether it be in politics or business.
NEVER had I seen the lengths to which John McCain used HIS status as a POW in far too many appearances on Hardball w/Chris (MadAsHell) Matthews, or during the promotions of his self-serving book around all the networks.
One might wonder why so many Vietnam Veterans were so turned off by all that self-adulation that they did NOT vote for him in droves. Do you think it might be there was a certain lack of trust in John McCain's actual "hero" status?
The Kerry/Soros campaign was nearly an instant replay of Johnny Mac's campaign so it was with fascination that I watched John, The Don, McCain cover himself with righteous excrement and run, not walk, to the nearest microphone to call almost every Vietnam Veteran, especially his "brother" POWs, liars or worse.
John, The Don was a crooked snake then, and he always has been. Before and AFTER Vietnam. He was the spoiled brat son of an Admiral BEFORE his hotshot days, so real questions lurk in my mind about what actually happened when he so foolishly pulled the stunt which got him shot down in the first place. Staying on that same path, it also opens huge questions about what took place during his POW years and I'll say it even if no one else dares to.
This guy does not WALK like an American hero, TALK like an American hero, or ACT like an American hero. He walks and talks and acts as though someone else was pulling his strings. Quack, Quack.
At the first available opportunity, with likeminded Clintonistas in office, he threw open the doors to a stubbornly resistant, viral strain of Red Communists, embracing his "captors," visiting his old stomping grounds at the Hanoi Hilton as if it was a homecoming 7 times since 1973 at last count.

McCain and Son
(Click for full article.)

He was fond of reciting his version of a true story about Mike Christian's flag. The problem with his version, both in his book and in his stump speeches, is that it was not the real story. It was John McCain's VERSION of a story he had nothing to do with, had no complete knowledge of, and yet, he TOLD us he was THERE.

MCCAIN'S VERSION in 2000:
From a speech made by Capt. John S. McCain, US, (Rep) who represents Arizona in the U.S. Senate:
As you may know, I spent five and one half years as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. In the early years of our imprisonment, the NVA kept us in solitary confinement or two or three to a cell. In 1971 the NVA moved us from these conditions of isolation into large rooms with as many as 30 to 40 men to a room. This was, as you can imagine, a wonderful change and was a direct result of the efforts of millions of Americans on behalf of a few hundred POWs 10,000 miles from home.
One of the men who moved into my room was a young man named Mike Christian. Mike came from a small town near Selma, Alabama. He didn't wear a pair of shoes until he was 13 years old.
At 17, he enlisted in the US Navy. He later earned a commission by going to Officer Training School. Then he became a Naval Flight Officer and was shot down and captured in 1967.
Mike had a keen and deep appreciation of the opportunities this country, and our military, provide for people who want to work and want to succeed. As part of the change in treatment, the Vietnamese allowed some prisoners to receive packages from home. In some of these packages were handkerchiefs, scarves and other items of clothing. Mike got himself a bamboo needle.
Over a period of a couple of months, he created an American flag and sewed it on the inside of his shirt. Every afternoon, before we had a bowl of soup, we would hang Mike's shirt on the wall of the cell and say the Pledge of Allegiance. I know the Pledge of Allegiance may not seem the most important part of our day now, but I can assure you that in that stark cell, it was indeed the most important and meaningful event.
One day the Vietnamese searched our cell, as they did periodically, and discovered Mike's shirt with the flag sewn inside, and removed it. That evening they returned, opened the door of the cell, and for the benefit of all us, beat Mike Christian severely for the next couple of hours.
Then, they opened the door of the cell and threw him in. We cleaned him up as well as we could. The cell in which we lived had a concrete slab in the middle on which we slept. Four naked light bulbs hung in each corner of the room. As I said, we tried to clean up Mike as well as we could. After the excitement died down, I looked in the corner of the room, and sitting there beneath that dim light bulb with a piece of red cloth, another shirt and his bamboo needle, was my friend, Mike Christian. He was sitting there with his eyes almost shut from the beating he had received, making another American flag.
He was not making the flag because it made Mike Christian feel better. He was making that flag because he knew how important it was to us to be able to pledge our allegiance to our flag and country.
So the next time you say the Pledge of Allegiance, you must never forget the sacrifice and courage that thousands of Americans have made to build our nation and promote freedom around the world.
You must remember our duty, our honor, and our country.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

THAT does not sound at all like the REAL story, which, by coincidence, I just happen to have. Hmmm.

Interests: Music, Languages, Literature, Travel, and mainly - my family.
My pilot was Lt. Lewis Irving (Irv) Williams. We were shot down 24 April 1967 at Kep Airfield about 30 miles northeast of Hanoi.
I frequently found myself in the wrong place at the wrong time. I got to know the Vietnamese and their methods quite well during five major and various minor pain sessions. Their attempts at propaganda and indoctrination taught me, as it did so many, just how strongly I support the ideals and policies of my country and our system of government. I learned a great deal about myself and my fellow man. I saw Americans function under conditions of great stress and report with pride their tremendous courage and resourcefulness . Perhaps the two strongest lessons I learned are: One, look around and find those who love you. Be aware of their love and react to it while you still can. Two, the International Communist Revolution is a deadly serious business and we MUST become aware of it. We need not panic, but we absolutely must deal with communism from a position of strength. Peace at any price politics will destroy us.

(From the author of WE CAME HOME)
"A friend of mine forwarded me the following story...
I got to live with Mike and considered him a great roommate.
Mike was an A6A pilot, POW 4-24-67 to 3-4-73. A couple of years following release, he was trapped in an apartment by a fire. The bars on the window prevented him from from making an escape. He battled to get through but lost the fight. MM (John Michael McGrath ex POW)."

UNDER HIS WINGS

Our Flag from The Stars and Stripes: "Mike's Flag."
Pre 1995.

Thorness as he appeared in STOLEN VALOR
(Click for STOLEN VALOR)

(Condensed from a speech by Leo K Thorness, recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. )
You've probably seen the bumper sticker somewhere along the road. It depicts an American Flag, accompanied by the words "These colors don't run." I'm always glad to see this, because it reminds me of an incident from my confinement in North Vietnam at the Hao Lo POW Camp, or the "Hanoi Hilton," as it became known.
Then a Major in the U.S. Air Force, I had been captured and imprisoned from 1967-1973. Our treatment had been frequently brutal. After three years, however, the beatings and torture became less frequent. During the last year, we were allowed outside most days for a couple of minutes to bathe. We showered by drawing water from a concrete tank with a homemade bucket.
One day as we all stood by the tank, stripped of our clothes, a young Naval pilot named Mike Christian found the remnants of a handkerchief in a gutter that ran under the prison wall. Mike managed to sneak the grimy rag into our cell and began fashioning it into a flag. Over time we all loaned him a little soap, and he spent days cleaning the material. We helped by scrounging and stealing bits and pieces of anything he could use. At night, under his mosquito net, Mike worked on the flag. He made red and blue from ground-up roof tiles and tiny amounts of ink and painted the colors onto the cloth with watery rice glue. Using thread from his own blanket and a homemade bamboo needle, he sewed on stars. Early in the morning a few days later, when the guards were not alert, he whispered loudly from the back of our cell, "Hey gang, look here." He proudly held up this tattered piece of cloth, waving it as if in a breeze. If you used your imagination, you could tell it was supposed to be an American flag. When he raised that smudgy fabric, we automatically stood straight and saluted, our chests puffing out, and more than a few eyes had tears. About once a week the guards would strip us, run us outside and go through our clothing. During one of those shakedowns, they found Mike's flag. We all knew what would happen. That night they came for him. Night interrogations were always the worst. They opened the cell door and pulled Mike out. We could hear the beginning of the torture before they even had him in the torture cell. They beat him most of the night. About daylight they pushed what was left of him back through the cell door. He was badly broken; even his voice was gone.
Within two weeks, despite the danger, Mike scrounged another piece of cloth and began another flag. The Stars and Stripes, our national symbol, was worth the sacrifice to him. Now, whenever I see the flag, I think of Mike and the morning he first waved that tattered emblem of a nation. It was then, thousands of miles from home in a lonely prison cell, that he showed us what it is to be truly free.

Sound anything like the McCain "version?" Did he even KNOW about it until he might have read it in Stars'n'Stripes way back when? Did he once read WE CAME HOME?
The SPEECH was delivered by Leo K Thorness, recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, who actually WAS there in the same cell with Mike, and who, ironically enough, was one of the featured POWs in the Documentary, STOLEN VALOR. This is one of the honorable men McCain called dishonorable and cheap. It turns my stomach.
But there is so much more to the McCain saga you would not think he could be elected dogcatcher in a normal world.

"Bad money makes people do bad things."???

Well, who would know more about that than Johnny Mac, himself?
He was dirty for years and years, took bribe money to assert power in all directions from the rarefied Senate air, then opened the door for a virtual onslaught of FILTHY, dirty money from Soros, et al, to defeat Conservatives anywhere they could.

The Soros brigade

Don't kid yourself that his hatred of George Bush had anything whatever to do with all this. This is what and who John McCain really is. John McCain rotted from the inside out long before George Bush ever came onto the political stage...and as his popularity grows and grows among the denizens of the MoveOn.Netherworld, we Conservatives remain stupefied at his sheer gall, not only about the mini-coup he pulled on Bill Frist in the Senate, but at the shark feeding frenzy the Democrats have initiated around Tom Delay, who couldn't be as bad in a hundred years as John McCain is in one day of his foul life.

John McCain Apr. 14: Hardball
(Click for full transcript.)

EXCERPT FROM HARDBALL, April 14, 2005:
MATTHEWS: But bottom line, would you vote for what’s called the “nuclear option,” to get rid of the filibuster rule on judgeships?
MCCAIN: No, I will not.
MATTHEWS: You will stick with the party?
MCCAIN: No, I will vote against the nuclear option.
MATTHEWS: You will vote—
MCCAIN: Against the nuclear option.
MATTHEWS: Oh, you will?
MCCAIN: Yes.
MATTHEWS: So you will vote with the Democrats?

From BIG things to SMALL things, no one calls him to task for any of it. During the 2000 election, wasn't it John McCain, whose poppa-in-law owns one of the world's largest breweries, who was holding underage drinking parties for teen voters at many of his personal appearances?
Yes, it was. And they didn't vote for him in droves either. The objective "press" did a "lick the boot" report about it somewhere, sometime, but Mac's boozing up kids was just alright, while calling GWB an alcoholic every chance they got.

Okay. That ends JM for today. His story will be a long one and it won't stop here with just this post. He needs to be recognized as the sleaze that he is, Conservative NOT.

GOODBYE, JOHN.....

Why are you there?

How could you allow this country and our military, the state of Pennsylvania and all of your constituents, to be so insulted and so utterly debased by anti-American, Marxist Democrats while you follow, jowls hanging, sad-eyed and hound-like, as if one of these insane, powermad misfits is suddenly going to turn around and throw you a bone?
It is everything I can do to keep my food down after seeing and hearing many, if not most, of the philosophical swill you seem to think makes some kind of sense to us. I assure you, there are still many of us out here who understand the AMERICAN language, even with all your careful Scotch twists.
I KNOW why you are there.
It is because the Democrat machine in PA wanted you there. We Republicans did NOT elect you, Mr. Specter, because we knew what you were and never expected you to change.

WE WANTED THIS!

WE GOT THIS!!!

Who, even among the Democrats, respects you, Mr. Specter? As foul as they are, they know you are a traitor to your own. They love THAT and hate you for it. These hatemongers would spit on you the way they spit on Zell Miller and every other Democrat who broke party ranks, but with an R after your name, you are propaganda cream pie.
You are seen as a fool, but you are their fool and their tool. After all, look what a rousing reward Jumpin' Jim Jeffords got for his treachery from those same democrats.
I find myself wondering if his reward might not have been a whip session with Nancy Pelosi. Are you fond of leather, Mr. Specter?
Republicans like you, McCain, Voinovich, Snowe, Hagel, Dewine, and Chafee have rendered all of our hard work useless, (and their turns on this page will come.)
It was a labor of love for this country that we worked so diligently to elect a majority in the Senate to bring back some semblance of morality to our courts, to the UN, (or rid ourselves of it,) to uplift our military, to end the tyranny of enviro-whackos on our private property rights, end the senseless ban on making ourselves self sufficient in energy production, end the assault on the Second Amendment, and on our moral traditions of marriage and sanctity of life.

“I am endorsing Pat Toomey because I believe he exhibits the principles that America needs in the U.S. Senate. In addition, if Arlen Specter chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, activist, liberal judges will populate the federal judiciary, which will result in the undermining of the Constitution and a liberal agenda for America. Senator Specter chairing the Judiciary Committee is a frightening concept for conservatives and those who believe in the principles of the Constitution as set forth by those who ratified it.”

Why would you, in your last chance to make right the wrongs you have rendered throughout your lousy, often foolish, career, choose to place the future of this great nation in the hands of Marxist liberals who have no agenda other than a mad quest for power at any price? This is true tyranny and you have given into their hands all we hold dear.

Speaking Gibberish, ummm, Scottish to the *Media.*

For shame, Mr. Specter. No disrespect intended, but you are not a well man. The Lord you claim to serve will not look upon you with more mercy than you have shown to the least among us.
In the end, neither I, nor my fellow Conservatives are your judges. You will reap what you have sown. It is still not too late to undo much of what you have done, but I don't see much remorse.
Perhaps the Party has learned from its mistake in backing you for re-election. At any rate, we must do everything in our power to keep Santorum, and to be much more diligent when we see Union thugs in PA endorsing a Republican RINO in a primary against a good Conservative like Pat Toomey.

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda---DID

I, personally, would like to know how such *brilliant* strategists at the RNC came to the faulty decision to put Santorum, as well as President Bush, on the chopping block for an absolutely worthless candidate like you. You WERE a Democrat, after all. Whatever reason did anyone have for believing that a liberal democrat could be trusted to function as a true Republican Conservative?
The answer, of course, is NONE.

THIS IS AN UPDATE. ARLEN SPECTER HAS SWITCHED PARTIES TO FURTHER HIS POLITICAL CAREER. THE ABOVE ARTICLE WAS PRESCIENT. NOW HE KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY HATE HIM.
KARMA.
IT'S A BITCH.

Susan Collins, a bitch of a different color.

BETRAYAL
GOODBYE, ARLEN...
