Tom Delay, What a politcal move huh?

If this isn't THE most politcally motivated move I have ever seen. You libs will stop at nothing. There isn't even a charge here. There is no evidence stated to support it. It should never have made it past the guys mind never the less into the courts.

This will backfire like everything else those frustrated liberals are doing. I will write more about this as I gather the facts... for now... drop the resignation Delay and get back to work on these knuckleheads.

Good thing Bush was able to stop Hurricane Rita from causing as much damage in his home state of Texas as Katrina did in New Orleans... but I guess he just cared more... ;-)

Humans are doomed.

Roberts Confirmed... BUT!

So, Roberts was confirmed. Voting was something like 78-22.

One could stop there. BUT, it seems this guy has an impeccable record. Not one person HAD a bad thing to say, until the hearings. Then we heard all kinds of untrue personal attacks as per usual from the usual crowd.

Give me a break, remember when the votes were like 98-0 and 97-0 for the last Republican and Democrate nominees years ago before the "Stop everything about Bush" crowd came in? Back then, the senate confirmed judges that were nominated by the sitting president overwhelmingly with no argument. It is the right of the president. The purpose to the hearings are to make sure he is a stand up guy, not what his political agenda is. That is a right EARNED by the president winning the election. (Yes, I know, Bush never won, now shut up!)

The following 22 people should NEVER be voted for. They do not want to help the country at all, they are politcally biased individuals (Being nice) who have their own best interests at heart. They are trying to solve nothing. I bet you can name most of them, but here is a list just in case.

Oh, and Hillary, if you should God forbid (uh oh, I mentioned God!) win in 2008, you better hope for a democratic senate if you want to get anything done. Actually, that won't be the case because republicans don't have it in them. They actaully want the country to succeed so they will do what needs to be done to make sure the happens.

Anyway, kick these bums out... I love NY, but Schumer and Clinton must go.

NO - 22 Democrats

Dems Woo Bill Clinton To Oppose Arnold

So, let me get this straight. Hillary thinks she can win in NY so she buys a house in NY and is elected Senator by the morons in NY (I live in NY, I can say that! LOL)

Now, Bill will buy a house in CA so he can become Governor of CA. He doesn't want to be Governor, the article even says he can use this to raise millions for Hillary's run at the white house in '08! They don't care about all this folks! Hey, NY, Don't forget to vote for Hillary in '06 for Senator so she can leave if she becomes president in '08, God Forbid!.

Dems Woo Bill Clinton To Oppose Arnold

Enticed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s plunging approval ratings, California Democrats are courting some heavy hitters to run against him next year - including Bill Clinton.

“We hear that major donors are reaching out to former President Clinton, once governor of Arkansas, to run,” Paul Bedard writes in his U.S. News & World Report column, Washington Whispers.

A Democratic strategist quoted by Bedard says: “On first blush, it might sound nuts. But he’d be governor of the fourth-largest economy in the world and have the ability to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for Hillary” if she ran for president.

Other potential candidates being considered include ex-Lakers star Magic Johnson, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and activist actor Rob Reiner, aka "Meathead" of "All in the Family" fame.

Says Bedard: “Imagine a 'Meathead vs. Terminator' race in 2006.”

Sen. Mary Landrieu: I'll Still Punch Bush


Sen. Mary Landrieu refused on Friday to withdraw or apologize for her threat to punch President Bush if he criticized Louisiana officials - despite Bush's magnanimous speech Thursday night and a federal downpayment of more than $60 billion dollars to rebuild her state.

"I do not take it back, I don't apologize for it. I said I would punch anybody, including the president," she told the Chicago Tribune.

"Though threatening the president is a crime," the Tribune noted - "the Secret Service took it as a joke and the White House brushed off her remarks."

Standing in the Capitol, however, Landrieu made it clear she wasn't joking.

"These local officials were heroes," she contended, before saying she meant every word of her threat.

Appearing on ABC's "This Week" four days after Katrina's floodwaters swamped New Orleans, Landrieu complained: "If one person criticizes [Louisiana], or says one more thing, including the president of the United States, he will hear from me - one more word about it after this show airs and I - I might likely have to punch him - literally."

After saying she stood by her ugly comments, the Louisiana Democrat also offered praise for the president on Friday, saying the Katrina reconstruction plan he outlined in his speech was "innovative and bold."

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Senate approved a $200 million budget increase for NASA Thursday, giving the U.S. space agency most of the funding it needs to get started on a new lunar exploration plan to be unveiled Monday.

The NASA funding was approved as part of a $48.9 billion spending bill that also funds the Justice and Commerce Departments. Of that amount, NASA would receive $16.4 billion for 2006, about $60 million less than the agency requested but $200 million more than it had to spend this year.

CINDY SHEEHAN CALLS FOR U.S TO 'PULL OUR TROOPS OUT OF OCCUPIED NEW ORLEANS'
Mon Sep 12 2005 12:42:11 ET

Celebrity anti-war protester, fresh off inking a lucrative deal with Speaker's Bureau, has demanded at MICHAEL MOORE'S website that the United States military must immediately leave 'occupied' New Orleans.

"I don't care if a human being is black, brown, white, yellow or pink. I don't care if a human being is Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, or pagan. I don't care what flag a person salutes: if a human being is hungry, then it is up to another human being to feed him/her. George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self from power. The only way America will become more secure is if we have a new administration that cares about Americans even if they don't fall into the top two percent of the wealthiest."

Sheehan, whose writings can also be found at the HUFFINGTON POST blog, is in the middle of a bus trip across America in support of her cause.

Air America Hosts: Farrakhan Not Wrong on Levees

Air America Hosts: Farrakhan Not Wrong on Levees

Two hosts at the liberal radio network Air America are defending Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan - saying he's not wrong to suspect that white people deliberately blew up the levees in New Orleans.

"You cannot blame people for coming up with conspiracy theories," Air America host Chuck D. said, after he was asked Thursday about the paranoid pronouncement by MSNBC's Tucker Carlson.

"They look on television and see that the government is four days late in saving people [who are] supposed to be their citizens," Chuck D. explained.

Carlson gave him a second chance to denounce Farrakhan's lunatic declaration, saying, "You're a smart guy. You know that white people didn't blow up the levees to kill black people. You've gotta know that didn't happen."

But the Air America host refused to budge, insisting instead that there was a chance Farrakhan could be right.

"I can't say unless I know for sure what's the actual facts and what's actually false," the rapper-turned-talk host said.

Carlson tried a third time, telling Chuck D.: "Look, I can say for certain that it was not a white conspiracy. White people did not blow up the levee to kill black people."

Still, the radio lefty wouldn't denounce Farrakhan's poisonous rant, saying only, "I don't think it's a person at fault but I think the system needs revamping."

After failing to persuade Chuck D., the MSNBC host turned to panelist Rachel Maddow, who also hosts a show on Air America.

Asked if she believed that white people deliberately destroyed the levees, Maddow declined to render a personal judgment - and instead defended the sentiment behind the toxic hypothesis.

"Conspiracy theories don't necessarily help but you have to understand where they come from," she told Carlson. "They come from people feeling like this disaster had a real racial component. I mean, it was a majority-black city that was absolutely abandoned by the country."

On Monday, Farrakhan uncorked his ugly theory, telling a North Carolina audience: "I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."

Unreal... Pledge Unconstitutional!

Judge: School Pledge Is Unconstitutional

By DAVID KRAVETS, Associated Press Writer

Wednesday, September 14, 2005

(09-14) 13:43 PDT San Francisco (AP) --

A federal judge declared the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools unconstitutional Wednesday, a decision that could put the divisive issue on track for another round of Supreme Court arguments.

The case was brought by the same atheist whose previous battle against the words "under God" was rejected last year by the Supreme Court on procedural grounds.

U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton ruled that the pledge's reference to one nation "under God" violates school children's right to be "free from a coercive requirement to affirm God."

Karlton said he was bound by precedent of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which in 2002 ruled in favor of Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow that the pledge is unconstitutional when recited in public schools.

Embattled Brown Taken Off Katrina Duty

Embattled Brown Taken Off Katrina Duty Sep 09 3:39 PM US/Eastern

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON

Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown, the principal target of harsh criticism of the Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina, was relieved of his onsite command Friday.

He will be replaced by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, who was overseeing New Orleans relief, recovery and rescue efforts, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced.

Earlier, Brown confirmed the switch. Asked if he was being made a scapegoat for a federal relief effort that has drawn widespread and sharp criticism, Brown told The Associated Press after a long pause: "By the press, yes. By the president, no."

Hurricane Katrina - Where to Point the Fingers

See my comments in my previous post... but here is a "professional" point of view.

Where to Point the Fingers

By Charles Krauthammer

Friday, September 9, 2005; Page A25

In less enlightened times there was no catastrophe independent of human agency. When the plague or some other natural disaster struck, witches were burned, Jews were massacred and all felt better (except the witches and Jews).

A few centuries later, our progressive thinkers have progressed not an inch. No fall of a sparrow on this planet is not attributed to sin and human perfidy. The three current favorites are: (1) global warming, (2) the war in Iraq and (3) tax cuts. Katrina hits and the unholy trinity is immediately invoked to damn sinner-in-chief George W. Bush.

Hurricane Katrina - New Orleans

I waited a while to get the full grasp of the situation before writing. I wanted to make sure I understood what transpired and what didn't. Here are my comments.

911 was not a tragedy. It was a terrorist attack and an act of war.
Katrina was a tragedy. It was no one's fault that it happened (the hurricane).

What transpired in the aftermath of the hurricane is a disgrace. Obviously, we were not prepared, however, we should have been. This horror these Americans went through was not one persons fault, it was a problem with the system. It was a problem with how it was dealt with. It was a problem caused by ALL involved, not just 1 or 2 people and certainly the blame should not fall squarely at the national level.

Here are some facts, these may differ from those printed in the news.

The Red Cross had trucks waiting at the superdome prior to the hurricane with food, water, supplies, etc... They were not allowed in after the hurricane because the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security (State level)

The Mayor of New Orleans had school buses ready to go to evacuate those that couldn't get out because they didn't have the means to. He refused those buses because they weren't grey hound coaches.

Many people refused to leave in spite of being told to. Whose fault is that? Yes, many had no means to leave. See comment above.

The federal government did not move fast enough. But neither did the state.

The storm's track kept changing. Originally, this level 1 storm was supposed to hit the pan handle of Florida after crossing Florida originally. However, it shifted, built up to a level 4, nearly a 5, and aimed for LA. Then it shifted slightly so New Orleans didn't get the center. Plans were made. Then the levy's broke. New plans were made, then the news of the massive destruction hit. Things took too long. There is no denying.

People made mistakes, it is a sad fact but true. However it was not because the people were black or poor or both. Why does Oprah, Jesse Jackson, and the rest of the Bush haters insist on making everything a race issue. Much to contrary belief, not everything bad that happens to African Americans is based on race. Help the people Oprah as you have attempted to do. Then let's find out what happened and why and fix it. Politicizing this issue is just plain wrong.

Bush did not cause the hurricane to hit New Orleans. The cause was not due to global warming and Bush couldn't have stopped this from happening if he only would have stopped global warming. Please someone stop this already!

In 2002, I forget who, I think a senator, wrote about a day when this EXACT thing would happen in New Orleans. He warned us all. No one listened. When I say exact, I mean exact. He wrote back then as if he were standing there today watching what was happening. I will try to get a copy of that.

Finally, what transpired in the superdome and surrounding area was pure evil. While I can almost see a reason to steal food, clothing, and other basic needs at a time like this when no one can get any, there is NEVER an excuse for raping children, stealing TV's, lighting fires, shooting people, etc. Never. Period.

America, learn your lessons. Let nothing like this EVER happen again, to anyone.
