WARNING!!! Foul Language and a very fed up blogger.
Here's the deal (to coin a phrase from my youth).
I am sick and tired of the Olbermanns, Maddows, and the combined media outlets of MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS oh and the Bill Mahers and Jeaneane Garafolo's painting me as some fringe right wing idiot.
You know why I like Glenn Beck, because he acts like a regular dude who doesn't talk down to me. O'Reilly doesn't take shit from anyone, and Dennis Miller, having once been a wacked out Liberal, knows how to show them up for who they really are....and his insults are par excellence. I can't handle Hannity because he is too partisan. Plus, I am not a Republican. I am a pro-life Libertarian. Glenn Beck is too. He genuinely seems to want to know what the fuck is really going on, while so many people sit complacently in their EZ Boys figuring that everything will turn out OK.
Did any of my friggin peers read 1984? Do you really think any political party trying to get all the power in all 3 branches of the government, and co-opting most of the media is a good thing? You don't see conservatives out there trying to get Olbermann off the air. Yet, Czar Van Jone's group was responsible for pulling 50 advertisers from Beck's show. Geesh, are you Libs really that worried? Holy shit! Can't there be differing points of view or is it only yours that counts? So all you liberal scaredy cats are gonna try (it won't happen) and try to get Beck off the air. Am I not allowed to hear differing points of view. You mean I have be stuck with Olbermann, Maher, Couric, and that lot? Are you fucking kidding me??????
To that Garafolo bitch I would like to say that I am NOT a racist. I love Alan Keyes, I think Michael Steele is a cool son of bitch. Thomas Sowell is smarter than everyone at the Daily Kos put together. Condoleeza Rice is a bad ass, and she would be an awesome president. BUT somehow I am a racist because I didn't want a 'particular' black man as president. STFU, you stupid Hollywood skank!
Olbermann: I watch your show. Lately, you do and say nothing substantive. All you do is show clips from Glenn Beck and then act like someone slipped you some frigging Meth. Take a Xanax and calm down. Sorry ratings suck....but you do and that's why.
Bill Maher: the ONLY thing you and I agree on is that marijuana should be legalized and have the shit taxed out of it. I think alcohol is far more dangerous. Drunks kill people, start bar fights, cause domestic violence. Potheads laugh alot. So, I think my more strictly conservative friends need to lighten up on this issue. Geesh, just a little more than 100 years ago you could get cocaine at the drugstore. Other than that, Bill, I think you are the most smarmy, snobbish, asshole with the biggest superiority complex next to Obama himself. But you know what? As much as I loathe you, I will defend voraciously yor right to the airwaves and your free speech. Too bad your ilk is all behind the Fairness (NOT) Doctrine and want to kill my ability to listen to Rush, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck or Michael Medved.
Mainstream media: Catch this clue....your ratings are tanking because everyone believes you are so far up the Obama administration's ass that you will find polyps before his Proctologist does! I watched Maddow and she didn't have one, not one, conservative or libertarian guest. The whole show was skewed to the left and openly mocked those on the right. That???? is fair and balanced????? Yeah, right. You are all such LOSERS. The press and the media are always, always supposed to be there for 'the people' and constantly critique the powers in Washington. And this is not happening anymore. What is so hysterically funny to me is that Progressive Liberals have become 'the Establishment' that the original liberals from the 60's so hated. So whoopee, I am a bonified non-conformist!
I don't want the federal government in my local schools, in my healthcare (medicaid, medicare are fucked up enough and going broke...woo hoo...the government is SOOOOO GOOD at what it does...NOT) I don't want them in my churches, syagogues, mosques, temples, teepees..where ever. I don't want them insinuating themselves into the homeschooling of my children. I don't want them taking over or bailing out banks, oil companies, car companies any companies. You can protect the nation, build roads, dams and bridges and back off of everything else.
And last, President Obama, you know had it been 1973 when you were born, you might not have been. Thanks so much for you care of the unborn. Thanks for saying you didn't want either of your daughters to ever have to deal with the mistake of a unplanned pregnancy = BABY. I had a baby who wasn't planned. I had people tell me to get rid of 'it'. Hmmmm, surprisingly my 'it' is downstairs on the couch, getting ready for work, looking over some college work. Surprisingly, my 'it' isn't an it. It's not even a lump of tissue.... It's a human, a man. He is a man of almost 20. The world would be a much sorrier place without him. Though, of course, to you he was a mistake. You know what? YOU are the mistake America made when voting you in as President.
Keep your hands off my religion, and my guns (if I ever get any), and my Democratic Republic. Fire your Czars. There is no room in American for anyone with the title of Czar. Besides which, all these unvetted Czars are not constitutional.
Oh and would you like to know who I am.
I am a woman who gave life to my child when confronted with an unplanned pregnancy, instead of killing him for my convenience.
I am a woman who stayed home to raise my children because I see children as worthwile, not just things to aquire or DNA to be passed on.
I am a woman who breastfed her kids through toddlerhood, not just for a few days.
I am a woman who co-slept with her nursing babies instead isolating them to a lonely room in a little jail called a crib.
I am a woman who cloth diapered all of her kids. I washed them myself and hung them out to dry. How Donna Reed of me.
I am woman who does not like to be referred to, by my kids friends, as Mrs. Ross or Miss Rachel, Rachel is fine with me.
I am a woman who homeschooled her kids, not for religious reasons, but because I think school is a very dysfunctional system that is in no way based on the way people really live.
I am a woman who, as a homeschooler, was an unschooler, which meant my kids learned what, when, why and where they wanted to learn. No forcing of lessons here. My oldest is now a sophmore in college.
I am a woman who thought it was crazy that when her son turned 18 he could fight and die for this country, or get married, but wasn't allowed to have a drink. A drinking age of 21 is dumb.
I am a woman who was a devout Evangelical Protestant who hated Catholicism and then, 4 years ago, become a Catholic (don't tell me God isn't hysterical). I don't pretend to be perfect or all together because I am a serious work-in-progress.
I am a woman who thinks the theory of evolution takes far more blind faith to believe in than the theory of intelligent design. But if they are going to teach evolution then they need to teach intelligent design (which is different from the idea of fundamentalist creationism). Afterall, how many times can you through up flour, butter, sugar, and eggs and have it come down a cake....uh...NEVER. So if you know someone 'designed' your car, home, shoes, clothes etc....you better darn well get it through your thick atheist skulls that someone or something DESIGNED this planet.
I am a woman who is very committed to traditional marriage and values, but believes that the government needs to get entirely out of the marriage licensing business altogether. EVERYONE should receive a civil union license and then go on to get married at the religious or civic venue of their choice, provided that venue has no ideological problem with same sex marriage. If the Marriage Act is off the table and everyone gets C.U. license, then a gay/lesbian/transgender couple can't force any denomination which believes eclusively in man/woman marriage to marry them. Yet, they can still get married. That way everyone (and their beliefs) is protected.
I am a woman who loves my God, my husband, my kids, my pets, my friends, my country. I swear like a sailor, but I am a fiercly loyal friend. I love great coffee, great food, great sex (with said husbad), great conversations, a cool buzz (every now and again), alternative rock music, vampires, Catholic saints, apologetics, cute guys, Monty Python, SNL, Family Guy, staying up late and then sleeping in, cold rainy weather (snow is even better) and breaking schedules. I love to live my life on the fly and hate making plans.
I am a woman who WILL NOT BACK DOWN fighting for the right to be who I am and for the right for you to be who you are...even if we disagree.
DO I SOUND LIKE WHAT ONE WOULD PERCEIVE AS RIGHT WING EXTREMIST??
I am an American and proud of it. I will NOT apologize for wanting to keep my country free of an oppressively large, powerhungry, money-grabbing, and increasingly out-of-touch government.
I am sick and tired of the Olbermanns, Maddows, and the combined media outlets of MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS oh and the Bill Mahers and Jeaneane Garafolo's painting me as some fringe right wing idiot.

Welcome to the U.S.S.A.

Well, now that Obama is President-Elect, I just want to officially welcome everyone to the future United Socialist States of America. One tip, get your cash and put it in your mattress, because they'll be coming for it at the bank!
However, I think it *is* very cool that America has elected her first black President. However, I would rather have had the totally awesome Alan Keyes (who also happens to be black) become president. I voted for Alan Keyes in the primaries back in 2000. I hope he runs again.
I do want to say that now that we have our first black president, I don't want to hear one more gripe of "I am oppressed because I am a minority." Spare me, actually spare us all, were are not buying it anymore. Obama just said it himself...I can hear him on the news...saying something to the effect that he is proof that anyone can attain their dreams in America. Obama is now going through his litany of "Yes We Can!" So it's official...everyone can now shut the hell up.
UGH!

Why the 'Left' will always get it wrong...
...because they say they believe in peace and tolerance but they proceed from the false assumption that abortion is perfectly fine. If a person doesn't start from the vantage point that all human life is precious, then the rest of that person's arguments for non-violence, no war, tolerance and peace crumble to dust. However, Mother Theresa said it best:
National Prayer Breakfast Speech Against Abortion (1994)- Blessed Mother Teresa
"If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion."
National Prayer Breakfast Speech Against Abortion (1994)- Blessed Mother Teresa
Please vote, this Tuesday, for those who support the Culture of Life.
Peace,

For those undecided, or thinking that voting is pointless, read the following
This is from my husband's blog and it is so very well said and so very important. We can't have one party (either of them) in total control of everything: house, senate and white house, especially the Democrats because of the the Freedom of Choice Act and the Fairness Doctrine neither of which is free or fair.
Peace,

A STAR IS BORN
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
Published in the The New York Post on September 4, 2008
PALIN: NEW KIND OF WOMAN POLITICIAN
ST. PAUL
With sass and wit, sarcasm and sincerity, courage and strength, Sarah Palin last night showed us a new model of female politician.
Her family stories were genuine and real. Her commitment to special-needs children was moving. Her contempt for special interests was obvious.
And her putdowns of Barack Obama's rhetoric and her praise of John McCain's character and achievements were welcome and well delivered.
Many women look bad when they attack their opponents, too often seeming strident and shrill. But Palin was funny and irreverant, with a biting wit and a joy of combat that was exhilarating to watch.
Sometimes she reminded us of the hockey mom she is. Other times, she was an American Margaret Thatcher - mobilizing humor and biting satire to mock the opposition.
Where Hillary Clinton has but two speeds - full forward and stop - Palin displayed a range of rhetoric, emotion and language that sometimes evoked moving patriotism, at other times hilarious irony - and, frequently, a strong dose of common sense.
If her style in attacking and mocking her opponent was Thatcher-esque, her range of rhetorical style was Rooseveltian. She is, in fact, one of the best public speakers in our politics today.
Now the Democrats are stuck in a trap. They've demeaned, patronized and smeared a woman who's well on her way to becoming very, very popular. Her speech will create legions of fans; the Democratic smears of the last few days will create, for Obama, legions of enemies.
This man who dedicated two years to stopping a woman from being president now has to answer for spending two months stopping one from becoming vice president - a task he hopes to accomplish using women's votes.
Remember: The swing vote in this election are single moms. Just as the soccer moms dominated in 1996 and security moms in 2004, now unmarried women, mostly with children, will determine the outcome of the 2008 race. And they're finding in Sarah Palin an advocate whose life isn't far different from their own and whose priorities mirror theirs'.
As withering in her contempt for the country-club elites of the Republican establishment as for the pandering of the Democrats, Palin stands in stark contrast to the inherited elitism of the Bushes, the Romneys and the Kennedys. She's a woman of the people.
Was this a Republican attacking big oil? Was it the nominee for vice president of a major party who laced into earmarks and lobbyists and PACs? Yes it was - and how refreshing!
In her sincere embrace of her family and her nonjudgmental introduction of her pregnant daughter, Palin won the hearts of many single moms. By evoking life in a modest, middle-class town, she established an empathy with voters akin to what Bill Clinton built when he ate at McDonalds'.
How are the Democrats to live down their assaults on Sarah? How not to seem the enemies of the very voters they have to get?
Strategically, Palin achieved the convention's core goal - to show how McCain is not a clone of George Bush, but a man of the people eager for change and demanding of reforms.
Now the gap between Obama and McCain is not so wide. Now it is clear that they both stand for change.
So now the fear of a naive and untried Obama leading the nation through perilous times at home and abroad can work to drive voters over the narrower synapse and get them to vote for McCain.
Mission accomplished, Sarah.

Apoplectic with Joy!

I LOVE SARAH PALIN! SHE IS MY NEW HERO!!! She rocked the house tonight and she rocked it HARD. She threw down the gauntlet to the despicable Left and said, "Bring it!", but she did it with grace and poise. I am volunteering to work for the McCain/Palin ticket. I will call the local campaign headquarters tomorrow and ask what I can do. I have not wanted two people to win the White House this badly since Reagan/Bush in 1984 (the first time I could vote). There is so much I could say about real feminism and women's rights and how horrible the so-called Women's Movement (and their fanboys: the media) have been to Palin these last 5 days. All these chicks who have been screaming for years that women can do anything men can do, must have only been talking 'liberal' women and not 'all' women. Freakin' hypocrites all of them!
Sarah is a real woman, an amazing woman. Over the next two months she's going to be kicking ass and taking names. So, watch out all you elite media pundits, consider yourself warned. Also, watch out Democrats, I think Glenn Beck is right, Sarah Palin is Obama's kryptonite.
P.S. I just want to give a little shout out to Rudy G. Thanks for taking off the kid gloves and saying everything that needed to be said. Great speech!

Palin is an awesome mom!
So, Sarah and Todd Palin's 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant and they will be grandparents soon. How cool is that? Pretty cool. Sarah Palin is 44. When I was 22, I became pregnant out of wedlock, and when my son, Andrew, was born my mom and dad were 43 and 44 respectively. Young grandparents are cool grandparents. I say kudos to Bristol Palin for being in love with the father of her child and planning to marry him. I couldn't even claim that respectability over my pregnancy. Unfortunately, it was too much wine, a beach and a cute coworker. He was cute, but, in the end, he was an asshole! He was Catholic and he and his mom came and asked me to "get rid of it". Hmmm, Andrew has ALWAYS been Andrew, never an it. I wasn't Catholic then, needless to say, it put a bad taste in my mouth for Catholicism for a long time afterward.
I applaud the Palins' dedication to the Pro Life cause and the fact that they are a Christian, loving and imperfect (aren't we all) family that sticks by their convictions, stand by each other and makes the right choices...in this case....the choice for life. I think it is wonderful that before us, during this campaign, one of the candidates daughters is underage and pregnant. Now with clarity we can see the huge divide between the Liberal and Conservative candidates. On one side of the aisle is a candidate who sees her daughter's pregnancy as a blessing. The other candidate has said that abortion should always be available because he wouldn't want one of his daughters being punished by an unplanned baby.
God Bless the Palins!

McCain pledges to use Roberts, Alito as model Supreme Court nominees
Washington DC, May 8, 2008 / 06:12 am (CNA).- In a Tuesday speech that could have significant ramifications for the pro-life cause, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain pledged to use President George W. Bush’s Supreme Court appointees as a “model” for his own choices.
He also announced the formation of a committee to advise him on such judicial appointments, which have greatly affected the legal status of abortion in the United States.
The Washington Post reports that Senator McCain spoke on Tuesday before a crowd of several hundred at Wake Forest University. He decried what he called “the common and systematic abuse of our federal courts by the people we entrust with judicial power.” The Arizona senator also said that Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr. “would serve as the model for my own nominees, if that responsibility falls to me.”
Both of the justices appointed by President Bush are believed to oppose the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. Some observers believe only one more Supreme Court justice opposed to the decision must be appointed for Roe v. Wade to be overturned.
The remaining Democratic presidential candidates, Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton both opposed the nominations of Roberts and Alito.
McCain zeroed-in on Senator Obama for voting against Justice Roberts, saying the senator “went right along with the partisan crowd.”
“Apparently nobody quite fits the bill except for an elite group of activist judges, lawyers and law professors who think they know wisdom when they see it -- and they see it only in each other," he said, according to the Washington Post.
Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor responded to McCain’s attack, saying, "Barack Obama has always believed that our courts should stand up for social and economic justice, and what's truly elitist is to appoint judges who will protect the powerful and leave ordinary Americans to fend for themselves."
McCain said that he himself had voted for President Bill Clinton’s two Supreme Court nominees because, he said, he believed they were qualified.
Later on Tuesday, Senator McCain announced the formation of a conservative-leaning Justice Advisory Committee, which he said will advise him on judicial appointments if he wins the presidency. The group will be chaired by former solicitor general Theodore B. Olson and Kansas Senator Sam Brownback. Members of the committee include Robert P. George, a Princeton University professor who is a member of the President’s Council on Bioethics.
Besides legal abortion, a conservative change in the Supreme Court could affect other court decisions involving discrimination, civil liberties, private property, and other issues.

Spitting Nails!
GRRRRRR! I am so mad, SO MAD!
Just a few minutes ago, on The O'Reilly Factor, Bill had on two women who where Obama supporters. One knows Jeremiah Wright, the controversial pastor of Obama's church, and the other was just an Obama supporter who knows of Rev Wright. Both of these women were black (I am NOT using African American, because I do not refer to myself as Anglo American, I say I am white). They both defended Rev Wright's anti-American, anti-white rhetoric. And when Bill asked them if a presidential candidate went to a church where the pastor espoused the teachings of the Third Reich, neither of them answered. HA! They were both yelling so much I doubt they heard him. They kept saying, "You don't know what it is like to be black." And both said they totally understood where Rev. Wright was coming from and that there was nothing wrong with what he has said.
So, let's just put this in perspective. It's okay for Barack Obama to be affiliated with this pastor, and be a member of his Church (for 20 plus years no less), and in NO WAY does that affliation have any impact on Obama's beliefs about America or whites. So, then that would mean it would be okay if John McCain had a pastor who preached anti-black rhetoric? Somehow, I think, that if John McCain were affliated so closely and for so many years with a person who was a racist hate monger (as is Jeremiah Wright) he would be eviscerated by the media (CNN, NBC, CNBC, CBS all those places that have virtually ignored this Rev. Wright story) . And somehow I don't think, for a New York Minute, would the media give McCain a pass, just because he writes a paper saying, "I was never around when he said those things. I completely disagree with him.". Yeah right! I wouldn't give McCain a pass if something like that were true. Rev. Wright went to Libya to have a visit with Khadafi, he gave Farrakan an award....you didn't know about that stuff either, I guess? Hmmmm, and then you said in a speech that 'they were just words, and you can't believe everything,' yet in other speeches you talk about 'the power of words'...well which is it?
If you completely disagree with Wright, Obama, then you are going to expect people to believe that you NEVER heard Rev. Wright say any of those things? Never?!?! In over 20 years, you have always been away when your pastor has said something stupid and inflammatory?!? Really!?! If the shoe were on the other party's foot, the public would be demanding blood! I'm so sick of the political double standard. I am so sick of someone like Rev. Wright and the audacity he has to talk about the genocide of blacks because of AIDS, and somehow it's white America's fault. Yet when his precious Obama is so pro-abortion and that abortion is more a genocidal plague to blacks than AIDS, he's remarkably silent. And funny, Rev. Wright talks about how America deserved 9/11 because we have killed innocents during wars. Interesting, that Wright, a self confessed CHRISTIAN man, has little to say of the slaughter TRUE INNOCENTS in this country, over 43 million and growing, due to the scourge of abortion.
GRRRRRRR!
I am going to catch Hell for this, but I am ready...

Such Stunning Arrogance!
Okay, so anyone who reads this blog knows I am not a Democrat and I don't support Clinton or Obama. I barely support McCain (but he's all I've got). However, if I were an Obama supported I would be FURIOUS with Clinton.
I am dumbfounded by her arrogance to suggest that she and Obama would be a force to be reckoned with if he were her Vice Presidential running mate. I mean, holy cats, HE IS IN THE LEAD and she has the audacity to suggest that he be her Vice Presidential pick? What if Obama was saying this about Clinton? That maybe she should be his running mate? She'd be freaking out! She'd be insulted!
I have to admit (and this is horribly sinful, I know) that watching the Democratic Party implode is kinda fun. But I really can't see how this is going to go over well for anyone. It's true that Obama is leading in both popular vote and delegates, but it is true that Clinton has won in the states that vote 'blue' on Election Day. Most of the states that Obama has won usually vote 'red' on Election Day. Then all this talk of super delegates and possible re-dos in Michigan and Florida? COME ON! A super delegate in Florida told Bill Bennet on the radio that it would cost 17 MILLION DOLLARS to re-do the primary. That is INSANITY! Use that money for something worthwhile, or decide to count the darn votes you already cast...to darn early. I would be outraged if I still lived in Florida, and as a Republican, knew my tax money was going to go to repeat a primary that the Dems screwed up in the first place, and wasn't going to benefit me in any way.
As my friend Mig always said to her daughters when they were little and embroiled in a fight, "This is going to end in tears." Well, that is what's going to happen with the Democratic Party...only I think it's going to be worse than tears...there may even be blood. (I just hope it's Hilary's)
Sorry, I just couldn't help it.
Oops gotta run SNL is about to come on...it's new....and even THEY are making fun of Hilary...

McCain is so darn BORING!
and not the least of which is important...too darn moderate for me. Ugh! I hear him muttering on and on downstairs on FOX News. Of course, I watched Mike Huckabee withdraw from the race and LOVED listening to him say his thank yous and talk about his campaign. Huck's so interesting, such a good speaker, so funny and gracious. Then McCain comes on and I find myself falling asleep. What the heck is gonna happen if Obama gets the nomination for the Dems? Obama is great to listen to. I don't agree with him...he's a Mega-Liberal and I am a Reagan Conservative, but the truth is he is a great speaker. McCain is going to put people to sleep. Even though McCain has a marginally better message than the Dems, no one is going to be listening because his speaking style is so dull that everyone will be lying splayed out on their couches, heads lolling over while drooling on their night shirts. If Hilary gets the nomination I think it would be easier for McCain to win, just because people hate Hilary. Still, though, how did this happen? Of all the Republicans that it falls to McCain just astonishes me.
I know I said before that I wouldn't vote for McCain, but I'm gonna have to. I can't vote for Obama or Clinton, they are so far left and such pro-abortion advocates. I can't vote for people who fight among themselves over who is the better advocate for 'Choice'. Even Andrew, my pro-life baby, said, "How odd to compete over who is more pro choice ....which is actually arguing over who is more in favor of killing babies. Like you want to brag about that! How stupid!"
If I have to grasp at straws where McCain is concerned, at least, there is a better chance of a conservative judge being put on the Supreme court, if and when there is an opening, with McCain as president than either Clinton or Obama. Either of them would just give us another Ruth B Ginsberg.
I guess, though, that I will have to take my chances that McCain could be Obama, because I REALLY don't want Hilary to get the Dems nomination. I don't want her to have the satisfaction!

William F. Buckley

I was stunned and saddened to just see on the news that my first political mentor, William F. Buckley, passed away this morning. While some of my generation (born in the 60's) may have been parked in front of TV watching After School Specials, I was watching Firing Line. Long before the Rush Limbaughs and Laura Ingrahams of the world, there was Bill and the National Review...which I think I had a subscription to from the ages of 19 to 22. Bill Buckley rescued me from a fate worse than death...Liberalism. Through common moral sense and an astounding intellect, he convinced me of the 'Right' way to go. Finding out that he was a devout Roman Catholic (after my conversion) just made me love him more.
May he rest in peace.

Vote in '08...nope
Well, unless my candidate Mike Huckabee experiences a miracle, it looks like John McCain (a Democrat in Republican clothing) will get the Republican nomination. At that rate, it's not going to matter who becomes president. And you know what, I am not going to give the Republicans the satisfaction of voting for McCain, because that would be tantamount to my approval of the Republican party moving away from the conservative (social, economic, political) values it was built on. They can count me out!I really don't see a lesser of the 3 evils. So, I may have to bow of the coming presidential election...the first time I will have done that since 1984, when I turned 18 and voted for the first time, for Ronald Reagan (man, how I miss the 80's).
Go Huck Go!!! Stay in it until the end. Mike, you got my vote in Georgia (and that may be the only vote I cast this year). Thank you for continuing to give Republicans a choice in these Primaries no matter what the pundits say. Show the country there are conservatives out there who will not settle for McCain....EVER!
My husband says that if I don't vote for McCain , and Hilary is the nominee, then I'm essentially voting for Hilary. You know what, I'll write in Huck's name on the ballot. If Obama is the nominee, I will not vote. Let history be made and finally the liberals can all shut the heck up about race, coz I am SICK OF IT!
(BTW, When Ann Coulter says she'll support Hilary, if McCain wins the nomination, you know things are bad in the Republican party!) :-)
Now it's time for me to fire up the TiVo and get lost in LOST (my fave show).

I just gotta say...
even though I am not an Obama supporter. I love the way he speaks and he is awfully good looking.
For the Democrats sake, I really hope Barack kicks Hilary's butt!

Back to Fox News, Obama is speaking...I do like listening to him, even though I don't agree with him on the issues.

Primary

Well, I gotta say I am totally psyched that Huckabee is doing well, especially in the South, and that it looks like he is going to win GEORGIA! Yeah!
Huckabee is also proving that this is not just McCain's race, as the pundits have been suggesting, and thus is letting the more Socially-Moderate Conservatives know that there are very vocal and active Socially-Conservative Conservatives out there and if McCain thinks he is going to get the nomination, well then, he better move a little more to the right, especially when it comes to immigration. IMO, Romney, though interesting, seems kinda like a poser to me. He has not been, throughout his career, as completely conservative as he purports to be now. I'm just not buying it. He reminds me of a Republican version of John Kerry.


I can hear Laura Ingraham on FoxNews talking about how if McCain becomes the nominee for the Republicans he is going to have to build a bridge to Conservatives...and she is RIGHT ON THE MONEY!! Start building now, John, NOW!


I am not Liberal politically (only liberal when it comes to homeschooling philosophy), but I have to say that, if I were Liberal, I would vote for Obama. As far as Liberals go, I really like him. His website is great. He has really motivated young Liberal voters and I am really happy that he is squashing the Evil Witch of the East, Hilary, here in Georgia! Might I just add that this whole Obama thing is just proving, yet again, that America is not racist like some many Liberals always want to say that She is. Obama is getting a huge white MALE vote tonight. So, can we shut up and stop with the race-baiting...Bill Clinton et al? And just to let anyone know reading this. You know who I would have LOVED to run for President?...A black woman...Condoleeza Rice. I think she is awesome. And back in 2000 my initial pick for Republican nominee was a black man...Alan Keyes. To me, it is not your race, it is what you stand for. End of story.


Overall, it is looking like Tuesday evening, here in the States, is proving to be quite and interesting and exciting night...certainly better than the Superbowl. Then again, I don't watch the Superbowl, I tried, because the commercials are always cool, but I am just NOT into it. Politics is definitely, to me, a whole lot more fun. I can't wait to hear what Dick Morris is so going to say about all this.

In the end, no matter what side you are on, if you are participating, I am happy. We need interested and active Americans...not passive ones.
Good luck Huck!
~Peace
