Hillary Clinton and John McCain Want to Fire 300,000 Workers

Yes, it is true. In a time when John McCain and Hillary Clinton are trying in desperation to paint Barack Obama as an elitist and out of touch, these two vote panderers would like to cut out 9 billion dollars of the funds that fix our roads and bridges (you know, like the one that collapsed in Minnesota?), all so you the voter can save $25 dollars in gas over the summer. So, will firing 300,000 people really be worth $25 bucks to you?

It’s sickening that the continued argument (made/pushed by the oil companies) is about getting off of “foreign oil” as if where we buy the oil changes the supply or demand (and thus, the price). It’s sickening that instead of moving to a wind and solar based energy policy, we have politicians trying to bribe the public to make them okay with the high prices they’re paying.

Pandering to the voters to give tax cuts so we don’t have to pay for Medicare, health care, or a three trillion dollar war (other than the yearly 200 billion dollar annual interest payment from the loan we’ve taken from China) is one thing. Pandering for votes on suspending a tax cut so that voters can save $25 despite this hurting our roads and laying off highway workers is not only a joke, but shows zero leadership or judgement.

Maybe instead of spending $12 Billion/month in Iraq, McCain might want to subsidize electric cars and solar panels on homes. We’d be done with our need for oil in 20 years…and his promise to stay in Iraq for 100 years wouldn’t be needed.

Should these guys and 297,000 of their coworkers lose their jobs and further put the U.S. Economy at risk so Hillary and McCain can get a few votes in Kentucky?

‘We Brake when Hillary says “you’re fired!”‘

Media Has Finally Hit a New Low in “Reporting”

The media has shown it’s true spots recently in their “reporting” of what they consider to be news.  Whether it be in their worrying more about flag pins than three trillion dollar wars, or neighbors of Barrack that Bill Clinton pardoned; rather than a breaking economy due to a president that would rather borrow from the Chinese to pay for his 3 trillion dollar war, his second tax rebate/bribe to/of the American voter, or his bailouts of corporate magnates that were apparently unable to conduct payment shock analysis before they bought billions of dollars of loans whose sole risk was borrowers unable to make their payments that payment jump several years into the loan.

The media is so busy trying to cut costs that people who actually are “reporting” the news, i.e.: going out and asking serious questions, are losing their jobs.  Whether it’s through layoffs of hundreds of NY Times workers, or mergers and outsourcing (CBS may just rely on CNN?…thank goodness we’ve got Wolf on the job), or just hiring low level people who have no skill other than reading the news to host the spin doctors spewing false and irrelevant facts across the airwaves.

The obvious point is, the news has become nothing more than a business unit of the corporations that run them.  Much like a republican politician, there is too much money at stake for reality to creap into your television any more.  CNN is forced to report on Jeremiah Wright and Flag Pins just as republicans must hate gays because the Bible doesn’t say so (but the church and money does…more babies means more dowry!), love Exxon, and hate the environment (and appoint Exxon to oversee the environment to make it so), all because the money dictates that these things will happen.

The current push for corporations is to ensure someone who doesn’t take corporate bribes (i.e.: lobbyist donations) doesn’t get into the White House. The corporate media would like their ratings to continue to August because they’re certain any race with an old bag like McCain is going to put everyone to sleep. There’s also much more draw to Hillary imploding the Democratic party rather than Barack vs. McDud.

CNN is bursting at the seams to talk about flag pins and Barack’s former minister who doesn’t trust the government (maybe it has something to do about it lying to get us into a war with Vietnam, or lying about getting us into a war with Iraq,…today’s “Ticker” is that apparently Barack’s popularity is “fading.” Really, doesn’t fading imply that it’s going away forever?  This stunning analysis conducted by whoever the headline maker is looked at the daily poll that goes up and down and has switched leads between the candidates dozens of times in the past few months.  Apparently, since Hillary caugh up to Barack yesterday, it means all has faded.  However, if it goes back up at any point in the future, I guess that would mean that this was a bogus story that would need to be retracted.

Update:  (it’s been 10 seconds)  Gallup’s surprising release of another poll in their DAILY POLLING, Barack is back ahead…I guess that means Hillary is “fading.”  It was fun while it lasted.  CNN, keep the article, I’m sure you’ll be able to use it again within the next week (and save a few bucks in the process).

Update #2: CNN changes title of story, “Clinton, Obama, dead even.” I guess false headlines are only as good as the thousands who you were able to manipulate before the facts got in the way. Well, I guess it is “dead even” except for that 150 delegate lead that Obama has, but who’s counting? Unfortunately, not CNN…and unfortunately we can’t count on CNN for reality since they were bought by Time Warner who’s screwing us worse than they do with the cable bill. Question is, which business unit is perfoming and do we need more mindless, leggy or bearded know nothings on the case.

Which of these CNN talking heads would understand the first thing about how the war is (or more to the point, is not) being paid for, payment shock analysis, or anything not having to do with preachers, gays, or guns?

Hillary Clinton and Her Bogus Big State Argument

I’ve mentioned this bogus big state argument before, but to say that since one person wins one state in a democratic primary, that the other person will not, is such a house of cards argument, it makes you have to wonder why the media doesn’t shoot it down every time it is brought up. Obviously, they enjoy big bonuses brought in by American Idol style ratings.

If Barack is doing better than Clinton in polls now in California and about the same in New York (actually, a point better), then what does it matter that she won the primaries there, other than they weren’t enough to get her better than a second place finish in the overall competition for delegates. Oh, and when did the fact that delegates nominate give Hillary or Joe Scarborough the inclination that it matters what the popular vote that she’s also behind in matters?

It has become too painful to continue to see CNN, ABC and MSNBC hire all of their Republican/Clinton analysts (namely Tony Snow, Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, and George Stephanopolous…oh and throw in Wolf for being a moron) to tell Democrats why Hillary is such a great nominee because she won Pennsylvania (not that they would have any bias to have one or the other candidate win!). Never Mind the fact that the state is more female than any other, never mind the fact that it is older than any state other than Florida, and never mind that Hillary Clinton does her best with old women.

Now, is that a fault of Hillary that she does well in that demographic? Of course not, but it seems every Mississipi, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Louisiana, South, Carolina, or Red State, or Caucus State, or states with an “A” in the name are states that don’t count in the general election if Hillary lost it. Not to mention that she sends out her surrogates to say Barack only wins because he’s black in those states (or that he has more “A’s” in his name than she does).

Nothing should surprise you any more, but now she doesn’t want to count popular vote in states that held Caucuses, but does in states where he wasn’t on the ballot (hmmm, this sounds very Bush 2000 of you Hillary).

CNN and MSNBC want you to trust these people to tell you it was really bad that Barrack didn’t win a closed democratic primary where 58% of the voters were women and believe that they have no bias in doing so. Never mind that the race was mathematically over after Wisconsin, their bonuses are based on how long Hillary stays in the race.

Pat Buchanan (Nixon, Ford, & Regan adviser, MSNBC analyst and Clinton pusher)
Tony Snow (Fox New host, former Bush Communications Director…new CNN “analyst”)
Joe Scarborough (Host of ‘Morning Joe’, MSNBC “analyst”, former Republican Congressman and Clinton pusher)
George Stephanopolous (Host of ABC’s ‘This Week’, debate questioner/flag pin expert, Former Clinton Communications Director, also the guy who actually asked, “Sen. Obama, do you think Rev. Wright loves the country as much as you?”, but forgot to ask if Barack wanted to marry it.

Hillary’s Camp Plays the Expectations Game; Barack Deals in Reality

The more Barack pushes for change, the more Hillary stays the same. Hillary has lost 65% of the contests in a contest that was hers to lose. However, now she’s left without any real possibility of winning the most delegates, popular vote, or states…so her lone argument (other than, “I’d be doing better under the republican rules”) is that 1) Barack should be winning every state or 2)he has problems closing because he doesn’t. Uh, if he’s only a “winner” in 65% of the states, aren’t you recommending that we switch to the person who’s the “loser” in those same 65%?

Hillary and Rumplestilskin both love spinning for gold. Both will be remembered for being full of shit.

More of Clinton’s Uncomfortable Laughing

This time about meeting with and getting an endorsement from someone who once accused her of murdering Vince Foster. So, does that mean he was right, or just that she’s desperate?

Hillary Clinton’s Campaing Goes Into Debt

If Clinton owes 10 million, just where exactly is she planning on getting that money to pay off her debt? Oh, that’s right, I forgot the plan. Bill becomes president, sells out to dictators to get a $100,000,000 donation from a Canadian miner raping 3rd world countries of their assets and gives speeches for policies you’re against for $800,000 and then loans your campaign the money.

Well, that seems like it’s on the up and up. I’m sure you won’t do any special favors for people like you’ve done in the past.

 

Hints as to where a certain Canadian Uranium Miner will be sleeping in the Spring under a Hillary Clinton Administration.

Hillary Clinton vs. Barack Obama debate review

I had a debate review all ready to go, and then saw one that hit all of my topics, but also included video.

Take a look at the debate review on Stephen’s page:

I know I’ve hit the media hard the past month, so I won’t go on another rant, but this is getting ridiculous.

New Polls Have Barack Obama Surging

Despite what the media will try to hype to extend this campaign, the only real change that has come from Obama talking about the bitter electorate is that the electorate agrees:  We’re pissed and Hillary is a liar.

Barack Obama Hits Hillary Clinton Hard After She Plays Politics

Barack talks reality about how people are bitter about jobs being shipped overseas and politicians using fear to shop for votes. Those politicians who do just that (Hillary and McCain) try to hit Obama before he changes what has gotten them this far. Barack hits them back, hard.

Bill Clinton Re-lies Bosnian Sniper Story

Despite there being video of Hillary telling the same false story a minimum of three times (once at a morning press conference), Bill has for some reason decided to give the press a story to talk about all weekend. Bill claimed yesterday that his wife just “misspoke” about his wife’s commando mission in Bosnia once at 11:00 o’clock at night because she was tired.

Now, not only is this a blatant lie due to her telling the story numerous times and thus adds fuel to the Clintons-are-liars “theory,” but this also calls into question Hillary’s ability to take late night phone calls if she’s unable to function past 10:59 p.m.

Clinton’s Conflicts of Interest Money Continues to Stack Up

This time, it’s with her husband taking in $800,000 to speak in favor of a trade deal in Colombia she claims to be against.  If she’s loaning her campaign $5,000,000 with Clinton money, is she really “against” it?  Bill’s income from his speaking engagements is over half of their household income.  I’d say using 5% of that income to loan your campaign money means you’re 100% shady.  What’s shadier is laughing off a question about the issue as if she can’t understand what conflict of interest means.  Considering her head campaign strategist was just in Columbia talking in favor of the same issue, I’m starting to think she may not know the definition of conflict of interest.
