Denver, Deals and the New Deal

2008-08-25T07:34:00.000-07:00

A funny thing happened on the way to today's post. The DNC press release which inspired this piece vanished within an hour, replaced by another more palatable work of party fantasy. Maybe it went the way of the pseudo Presidential seal that offended too many? In an election season which makes George Orwell's 1984 a work of limited imagination, voters savvy enough to turn to the internet to investigate candidates have found enough horrifying facts on Barack Obama & company to pen a new class of Orwellian best-sellers. The trouble is, these facts tend to disappear right before an investigative eye like a trail of bread crumbs quickly gobbled by vultures.

Nothing, however, seems to be slowing the Mass Media frenzy to force the new Messiah upon US. In its ceaseless efforts to undo the fibers of democracy- the all-consuming obama communication machinations seem to have reached a final stage of frenzy. As the Denver convention begins, the truth of division in the Democratic ranks is a torrent even CNN can't pretend away any more. In counterpart, the spiderweb of the corrupt DNC leadership's fabricated new reality is spinning at a rate that reminds one of a meth addict popping their entire pill bottle, determined to hold onto their 'unnatural high.'

This observer turned activist didn't intend to comment today. There's too much to do to help launch grass roots action - as our only remaining solution for salvaging democracy. What happens in Denver won't stay in Denver. As a member of the Just Say No Deal coalition, we're among those determined that voters will know and remember in November. The Democratic party has been sold out to the New Left. Period. Spending trillions of dirty George Soros (and other tainted) dollars might still be capturing the naive minds of new voters who cut their American Government classes and cut their teeth on TV fantasies. It might even hold the attention of the millions of "TV voters" (as FOX news slipped and labeled those who still believe what they see and hear of the mesmerizing images and fairy tales told on the boob tube.)

But despite basement cages prepared for rowdy PUMAs and fake press releases touting party unity the truth will continue to leak out until it becomes a tsunami. And when it does, those officials and Super Delegates who have the gall to still call themselves 'democratic' will be unprepared for the historic deluge of party defection to come. The irony is, that while a better informed electorate no longer believes a word most politicians say - and with good reason - the bubble of Denver seems to be inflating the near bursting egos of DNC wolves and the delusional hopes of the sheep who follow them to new heights of hype. Endlessly circulating press releases offer the uninformed masses the Democratic party's alternate version of reality. Signs indicatethey are pulling out all the stops on fabricating an attractive bio and appealing platform for obama- while they hang out in their self-deluded dreamfest in Denver.

Time Warner's RR home page, for instance, opened this morning with a glowing piece on the growing excitement over mobama's big Monday night speech. Viewing their "news leak" on what this nightmare of an opening speaker will have to say, I can only 'hope' any informed viewers will skip dinner to avoid indigestion. Seems, sprinkled within a litany of sympathetically spoken biographical half-to-no-truths, Michelle Obama will share with the audience how she and Barack represent "what Americans are supposed to be." Yes, that's an exact quote. However, you won't find it on line now- just a few hours after its release this typical Mrs. Obama misstep demonstrates, once again, her penchant for slipping out with her real beliefs, no matter how much is done to attempt to 'reshape' her message. Got it, everyone? Get with the program:

Remember now, barry soertoro and his missus are just what "Americans" are supposed to be!

What that's really saying reflects an underlying message of the entire obama -dean-brazille campaign. A message that, in the last week, has gone from covert to overt and is now found in press releases from the local level to the dictates we, the voting public, are now being issued by the ilk of MSNBC. Apparently, accusing the remaining sane rational Democrats of being closet Republicans as well as racists is no longer enough. Necessity has given birth to a new level of invention and here is its mantra: No one - absolutely no one - is to get in the way of the historic event of the Nomination of the first African American candidate for President!

Forget that he is not qualified and has accomplished nothing of significance in his political life. Overlook that he stood alone, after hundreds of Present only votes in Illinois, to singularly vote in favor of killing babies who survive an abortion. Look the other way when shown photos of his former Foundation employer and buddy, Bill Ayers stomping on the American flag and bragging how he got away with domestic terror. Dismiss the endorsements for this "citizen of the world" by the Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, American Communist Party, Klu Klux Klan, HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH and North Korea. Free your mind from Rezko, his long term partner in crime in bilking Chicago tax payers of millions of dollars. Overlook the coincidence that the sentencing of Rezko, convicted of multiple counts of political corruption and fraud, has again been delayed to avoid public scrutiny. After all, if Lou Dobbs of CNN, who called obama "soul-less" a few months ago can now shut up and go along with the Media sell-out, then certainly so can you and I.

Quit complaining because he's created a shambles of the Democratic party base in what was to be a sure-win year. "Get over it" as The Man himself told the Black Caucus et al, if you're still pointlessly enraged that the caucuses were a fraud, the delegates were disproportionately awarded (against several states laws!) and the Super Delegates were overtly paid off to contradict the Will of the voters. Here, instead, is the Denver Deal to be swallowed like a suicide pill, by all who feel hopeless enough, guilty enough and/or escapist enough to follow the DNC off its cliff to nowhere. The clear purpose of Denver is to construct an attractive, appealing Spin Story, first fed to the crowd present, then regurgitated by them to the masses. And here is the Spin:

obama, we are now being told, comes from a classic middle-class background - just like you and me. Except for the missing birth certificate, the numerous name changes and the childhood in Muslim dominated militarized Indonesia. Don't be a stickler for minor distinctions such as stolen (covered up) passport records, a college trip to (also) militarized Pakistan (where Americans were not welcome) or his teenage mentoring by a radical communist. As for obama's 'community service' days - as the political bagman for a slumlord and added public service as Ayres Woods Foundation lackey to support socialist infiltration of American education? Well, as the evidently self-medicated TV press would say, what's all that really got to do with anything.

Above all else, the DNC Denver will tell us, obama is The One who knows and will "heal the American soul" by, among other things giving virtually unlimited aid to Africa (when our country is broke); sending academics on diplomatic missions to buddy up with Islamic Jihad leaders; ensuring health care for illegal aliens at the expense of American taxpayers; doing NAFTA double deals in which he says one thing and does another; and protecting the telecom industry so his "Black House" (lead DNC entertainer's new version of prior White House) can wiretap and monitor the rest of us without warrant - oh, and keep his promise of quick issue driver's licenses for illegal alients, like terrorist infiltrators, to allow unimpeded domestic travel - without the unpleasant interruption of being found out.

Yes, I know that's the short list, but time and space do run out in this vacuum of darkness led by dean and axelrod.We can't end off, however, without emphasis on the need for CHANGE! Well, just last night Christine Pelosi, supporting her momma's recent fervent statement, reiterated on FOX, that God has so blessed the Democratic party with Obama. The miraculous underpinnings of this 'blessings' is that all touched by his toxic substitute for reality are given the freedom to interpret this CHANGE in whatever form most appeals to their own imagination. Those thus logic impaired and reality avoiding - in other words the new base of the un-Democratic party include obama training camp recruits, obama financial hand-out recipients, obama's youth movement forbidden to read internet fact 'trash' and the millions of weary suburbanites, who crash nightly before the boob tube, subjected to obama's onslaught of Spin, as regurgitated hourly by entire commercial communications industry.

Perhaps the rest of us actually are just pouting and envious. I, for one, haven't had the privilege of citizenship in 3 different countries. Never had a "typical white grandmother" to raise me and see me through private school in Hawaii, never got to know "the joy" of reciting Muslim evening prayers in perfect Arabic, didn't have an Indonesian stepfather to raise me in a foreign land (to subsequently be written out of my biography at will.) And the qualified Presidential candidate I, as a life-long Democratic supported, didn't have the expanded view to run a 'Global Campaign' nor the audacity to demean, discredit and threaten her detractors.

I have no small children left at home to enlist in "Kids for Obama" where they can learn to watch over me and make sure I abide by the Spin and keep it all straight. I am among the Vision-impaired who still believe in democratic principles over Super Delegate sell-outs and have always experienced my fellow Americans to be just that- rather the black and white competing groups that obama has portrayed - as spoiled indulged whites, suspicious Semetics and underprivileged AA's - to whom all other minority groups now owe their allegiance.

But why quibble over facts? And, no matter what, never give in to the traitorous principle of Country over party. That's all soooo over- along with other outmoded ideals of democracy . It's cool to say you were raised by a single mom, even though you were not. It worked for Bill Clinton, didn't it? So why not try it again. It's pragmatic to praise Reagan, a Republican, instead of the only Democratic President in recent decades, who actually believed in prospering the spoiled middle class. I suppose it even makes sense to select a running mate who represents everything you said you were out to CHANGE. As long as you have sell-outs like two generations of Pelosi's to spoon feed the otherwise ill-informed a new biography supported by elaborate myths, self contradictory stands and audacious but attractive lies.

Denver will come and Denver will go. But the sane among us will remember in November. And one day the History channel, which recently showed how Hitler, too, officially rewrote his own history for palatable public consumption, might go on to explore the depths of the deceptions woven into the fabric of the empty suit called obama.

The One does grows impatient when we resist all this fiction just because it contradicts all known actualities. How can he bring US forward into this dazzling newer, fresher alternative to outworn democracy, when we impede his great Changes - including the mobilization of his cool new national Civilian youth force to keep US in line? Caught in the brilliance of his Denver reflection, he has yet to realize there's a New Deal emerging - the awakening realization and mobilization of voters against his undemocratic propagandizing to steal the White House.

Footnote: The absence of capitlization of the name obama is not a typing error.

REVIVING the AMERICAN DREAM

2008-08-11T06:24:00.000-07:00

The American middle class is fed up with being ripped off by greedy corporations and corrupt, short-sighted politicians. The writing has been on the wall for a while. Anyone could have seen excessive spending without capitalization would result in a vast national debt. Now overseas interests are buying out national landmarks.

Anyone could have seen moving manufacturing out of the US, with corporate tax breaks for making these moves, would increase unemployment and decrease our domestic gross national product. Anyone could have seen stimulating sales of foreign made goods (purchased on credit cards with insanely high interest rates) would drive many Americans into bankruptcy and further deplete our own economy. Anyone could have seen shoddy bank practices, offering low start up cost perks - followed by escalating rate increases- would result in a foreclosure crisis. Anyone could see that a country. which produces less and less while consuming more and more, would wind up with a devalued currency. At the same time, anyone could see that inflating the cost of an extended MidEast war with a buddy system of grossly profitable 'rebuilding contracts' would escalate its cost to US taxpayers and offer no means in sight to reducing our National debt. Finally, anyone could see that driving up foreign production would drive up international demand for oil and, thus, contribute to escalating gas prices.

All of the above has been unfolding right before our eyes. Irrational economic, energy, banking, credit and international policies have led our nation to the brink of a precipice. The Katrina disaster, the mismanagement of its aftermath and collapse of a major Minnesota bridge have been just a few incidents demonstrate the neglect of our

own infrastructure by those to whom we have given authority to steer our great nation.

Not far beneath the surface of all the above fiascos we find the causes for these travesties. Both our Legislative and Executive branches of government have placed special interests above the interests of the American people at large. Not long ago, it was fashionable to lay all this at the feet of the Republican party. But the myopic inaction of the recent Democratic Congress, followed by the travesty of the party's misconduct of our Presidential primaries, demonstrates irresponsibility on both sides of the aisle. No wonder we have an increasing number of "Independent" voters. Placing political gamesmanship over the needs of the American people has now led our country to a point of near collapse - on many fronts simultaneously.

The MainStreamMedia tells us things aren't that bad. But, remember, this same MSM spin machine also gave US (via Pentagon paid spokespersons) phony reasons to support lavish expenditures on a MidEast war. Worst of all, recently, our Congress took off for vacation, as if these emergency issues can just wait and all will be well. It appears, a united "official" front by the Adminstration, Congress and MSM is acting in collusion to deny the extent and depth of our nation's ills. No one, after all, wants to carry the blame. These 'powers that be' seem to believe you actually can fool all the people all of the time- although Abe Lincoln advised to the contrary.

One singular example of this collusion has been the pattern of Congressional inaction on impeaching GW/Cheney. Obviously, it's not lack of substance that slowed action in this area. Review the record: Democrats took the lead in Congress 2 years ago, and to public astonishment, it only took days for the new Speaker of the House Pelosi to announce "Impeachment is off the table." Some said the motivation for this change of venue was a fear it would be damaging to place attention on the multiplicity of crimes of our Executive Branch. Has anyone seen anything at all get better as a result of this denial?

Next, Kucinich ran a Presidential race espousing Impeachment at the top of his agenda. Not long after, this populist 'hero' emerged from meetings with the Judicial Committee sending his supporters a message of apology: the Judicial Committee said, again, this matter must wait. Until when? This September, of course - two months before the Presidential election. How dumb does Pelosi really think We the People are? The impeachment of GW & co. is no longer a matter of justice, or even a question of lifting the nation up from this cycle of corruption. No, not at all. The issue of Impeachment is merely another political ball - to be tossed, if necessary, at precisely the moment that will do the most damage to the "other side."

Take a moment to imagine the state of our nation if, after ignoring the misdeeds of our Executive branch, our Congress - which has taken no solid non-partisan action to solve any single one of the problems listed above - were to suddenly dedicate its hours on the job, with righteous indignation, to uprooting a lame duck President during his last few months in office. The ensuing chaos and elevation of national insecurity clearly mean far less to Pelosi than exercising her power to manipulate public attention away from the current record high (87%) public displeasure with Congress itself- in time for more of her collusive party favorites to increase their stronghold in the Legislative branch.

So it goes. And has gone on. And on. Only legislation which protects the Wall Street backers and behind-the-scenes corporate money peddlers is moved to Congressional action. Non-partisan solutions? Genuine reform of the dissembling underlying system? Please. Our politicians have more important matters in their attention. Like getting elected. Again and again. With no evidence of interest in salvaging anything more than the profits of their backers and their own shaky reputations. The power drunk arrogance of our elected representatives has been proven over and over: in the unjustifiable support of approving FISA's warrantless wiretaps and protection of corporate powers which act in collusion; in the sponsorship of biofuel subsidies while these measures not only don't solve our energy problems but are contributing to a world-wide food crisis. In avoidance of solution oriented action on immigration, lending practices, offshore drilling and more.

So, we ask: What now America? To say the tail is wagging the dog is a gross understatement. The emergence of PUMA as a growing coalition is an important first step. However, MSM magic continues to marginalize this 'revolt from within' attributing it to shallow causes of resentment and revenge by a small, albeit noisy, fringe group- even though one astute journalist has more clearly observed that PUMA has become a gigantic donkey kicking over the furniture in the living room, while others seem not to notice.

Stalemate on all sides in all directions ultimately will get us nowhere. Praying and pushing the Democratic leadership into action it is reluctant to take may not be our strongest strategy. But there may be another way of looking at this that makes all the difference in the power, We the People, are able to reclaim. If David had tried to take on Goliath head on in the ring, he could not have lasted long. Instead, he aimed a slingshot of concentrated force, at just the right moment, in precisely the right direction to fell the giant with one mighty blow. Morale? One must learn to pick to pick their battles and leverage is everything JSND doesn't have a singular, organized political mechanism. At least not yet. PUMA does not have the endless wealth of George Soros nor the behind-the-scenes network of intimidating fringe groups and large self serving corporate interests. And hopefully never will. But JSND has passion and a desire to restore integrity to the Democratic party and our nation as a whole. Which can be applied with energy-efficient leverage to trip the trigger of a broader mass movement for government and media reform.

How might this best be applied? By first placing Country over Party - a principle lost and gone from the current regime that poses as our Federal government. To demonstrate how this might work to the advantage of the Just Say No Deal coalition and, subsequently, serve the cause of the currently unrepresented American middle class, consider this analogy.

If you went to a party where, gradually, more and more guests were drunk, drugged and carrying on in insane ways, how far would you get by trying to argue this emerging contingent into more sane, respectful behavior? Anyone who has ever tried to reason with a drunk or an addict under the influence knows the answer to this question: you'd be wasting your energy. Things would not only not improve. The crazies would go to further lengths to justify and rationalize their destructive actions. Usually, it doesn't even help to point out they are also being self-destructive. A drunk as 'far-gone' as the current Democratic leadership doesn't want to hear the calamities they are creating. They just want to stay drunk to evade responsibility.

However, there is an alternative and empowering solution. The saner guests at the party could give up their exhaustive attempts at unsuccessful intervention and, instead, make a surprise move. Literally. By just getting up, en masse, and moving the venue of the party! This could even shock some of the 'less intoxicated back into sobreity, to move right along with the clear-minded seeming minority. What might happen next?

Left behind to their own crazy antics, many might keep imbibing for a while. But some others would begin to notice that the size of the party had shrunk considerable. Others would probably just drug out until they passed out. No longer remaining a force to be dealt with. Still others would feel the party was no longer much fun, with no opponents left around to taunt, intimidate and otherwise demean. In sum, there wouldn't be much of a party left and that fact would be apparent to even a casual observer.

So this observer is suggesting that the JSND coalition do just that by shifting focus from justified rants at the unDemocrat party's antics to taking Issue Oriented action that magnetizes and mobilizing middle class America into the next step of American evolution. If we are as near the point of no return for the American dream as some experts say, than somebody had better start calling a spade a spade. Now is the hour to place country over party. Wrestling matches are far less likely to reform our democratic structure than a Move to the Middle - which is exactly where many Americans now sit in waiting. Waiting for a New Deal. Waiting for a cause worth supporting. Waiting for the responsible leadership that is not forthcoming by our two major parties.

Does this mean forming a new political party? Certainly not! At least not now. The last thing the US would appear to need is one more self -interested political organization. Instead, the truth is the majority of Americans still believe in the American dream and want solid, responsible, non-partisan action on core crises Issues. Fact is, most Americans no longer feel represented by either of our two political parties. I read somewhere - or maybe saw on John Adams - even back then there were misgivings about a two-party system. Today, we can almost feel the ground shake - with an distress signal - from young, old, women, men, most religious groups and ethnic groups as well, to get past polarized partisan politics and get busy restoring the American dream.

This is, in fact, why Barack Obama maintains what poll support he does. The fact that he is unqualified, unvetted and has no real cognizance of the American dream doesn't stop the desperate from calling for "Change!" and deluding themselves into believing he has the answers we need. Those who have studied his biography, his record, his policy team, his far-left associations and his vacuous lack of either patriotism or grasp of international affairs realize the changes he would bring could be a crushing blow to our democracy and our whole way of life. And as much as many of us would like to believe he is unelectable, the sorry facts are we have seen too often, of late, what money, influence and media spin can buy.

It may be only JSND who can get this train wreck of an election off its current path of destruction. Not by wearing ourselves out attemper struggle with the current DNC. Not by drowning our sorrows at the state of our party. Not even by energetic abundant calls to action on the level of any specific indignation. But rather by moving the party to where the American people, in the majority, from both sides of the aisle have already moved. To the recognition it is time for a New Deal. By inviting disgruntled voters,-previously loyal to one party or the other-to jump party lines in a Collective Call for a New Deal. By reassembling ourselves as a sort of "Third Thing" PUMA can inspire middle class America to Wake Up and reassess the power, we as voters and grass roots volunteers really hold.

Together, we can say to our Federal government, the incumbents and the first-time candidates for Congress; Here is the New Deal! We want responsible, responsive timely action on core issues of Energy, Economy, Trade and National Security- which represent We the People, not special interests! We want representation that reflects the Will of the People rather than the large, private funding of obscenely costly campaigns. We want to rebuild our infrastructure, stimulate our job market, redevelop our manufacturing and establish environmentally responsible energy independence.

One needn't be an expert in American History to be aware FDR saved our nation by responding to our last major US crisis with similar programs. Yet, he wasn't even expected to win office. with many special interests opposing him. What might have become of our country's future without him? The JSND coalition knows too well who the candidate is that would best measure up to the challenges we, again, as a nation face. Currently, she has seems to be held hostage in a room full of drunks. Like the mother torn between her abusive husband and the kids. But we are not helpless little children. Not only do we own our vote, we hold the power to activate and motivate middle America. in a sweeping reform movement. It's time to get on the ground and Wake Up America. The JSND coalition can initiate a sweeping reform movement the likes of which this country hasn't seen since the Boston Tea Party.

It all starts by saying: Listen up- here's the New Deal. Coming from strength in ideals to strength in numbers, we no longer supplicate nor will we yield.We can steer the country clear of a self destructive take over by a power drunk leadership. We can inform and educate voters of their power to influence the make-up of Congress, by pointing out in these official's own neighborhoods, here's what your Congressman has and hasn't done for you lately. We can mobilize a growing ground movement with results that can no longer be ignored by MSM and complacent officials.

We can come together to accomplish all this by emulating the call of Hillary Clinton in her one of her last primary appearances: "We are all Americans." There's no telling what all we can accomplish by the JSND coalition joining together in a grass roots ground movment to Wake Up America!

Media Summer Two Step (S)Election Rig

2008-07-12T10:02:00.000-07:00

Summer Spin for the Nowhere Man features a smashing new strategy to win the hearts and minds of Hillary supporters. Having voraciously devoured her dignity, gone to all lengths to destroy her credibility and spending the Primary season obliterating all objective information about her Presidential candidacy, MSM has decided its time to give the little lady her due.

CNN's Friday, July 11, latest masterpiece in manipulation, indicates the degree to which the obama (I refuse to ever capitalize his name) campaign is worried. Giving Hillary more continuous air coverage, in this 60 minute special, than it ever did during the vote-getting season, the network hinted that Hillary deserves some credit, after all. While they pointed out (in their version) that, although she ran a terrible campaign which got off on a failing footing - due to her "arrogant" presumption of entitlement to office (a perspective the MSM, not Senator Clinton, generated) - it's now come to light that the Clintons hold sway with millions of voters.

Now, isn't that an extraordinary insight we needed 'the world's largest news network' to make clear? And that being the case, it's time to give this she-devil her due - for, without her, it appears their Golden Boy might fall short of their mutual aims. While the same evidently illiterate geniuses at work continue to blur all distinctions between Hillary's platforms and Barack's, they and obama's conjoined Corporate cause has begun, at last, to realize his polling results are shakier, week by week, and that will not serve. A strategic new spin is, thus, demanded.

And this one, as demonstrated by Andersen Cooper and friends, requires due deference to the more qualified Clinton, her unswerving supporters and even (however demeaning to acknowledge) her husband, with his record of salvaging our Republic from the ravages of the first Bush. We really should give MSM credit due. It's musn't be easy to stoop to inviting back two genuine, intelligent Hillary supporters (not the backstabbers they usually prefer to include). Next, think of the editing gymnastics involved in juxtaposing these candid commentaries on the Clintons' undying merits with enough punctuating invalidations by network anti-Clintons to convey their real message. It goes something like this:

"What's wrong with you people! We've been carefully applying our favorite technique- namely, to mesmerize all viewers with hourly repetitions of the same contrived 'facts' we want the public to believe- against their own best interests. How many times do we have to tell you that this campaign is over?! This is getting taxing (not on corporations, of course.)"

"Time for the ole bait and switch sales pitch. Hillary is soooo great, she ought to be a lifetime achievement leader in the Senate. (After all, somebody's got to actually work on the issues.) Or, just imagine - she could be Governor of the great state of New York. Just picture her, even, on the Supreme Court in one of those cool black robes. And, if there are any out there who don't think Hillary deserves such authority (since we've been saying otherwise for months on end), for you, here's our stylish twenty-something female AA probama 'expert' who even agrees any of the above should do nicely. Finally, we'll throw in our standard line-up of patriarchal women haters to remind you all - if you're not over your emotional outburst yet, we guarantee by November, you won't even remember what brought it on!"

"Lastly, if we must, (and this segment issued, no doubt, on directive of Axelrod/Hitler himself) we will cast her gaze and your own toward the Vice Presidency. Think of what a Hillary Vice Presidency could do for the country. Breathe a sigh of relief knowing, that if she can only follow him around closely, twenty-four/seven, our nation and the world might stand a better chance of surviving his lack of leadership skills. However, as spokemen for obama's campaign (even as grossly overpaid as we are) we aren't in a position of being held to this offer. If it comes, it could only be bestowed by the Messiah himself. And we're sure you understand, he won't even offer unless he is certain of an acceptance. Not by Hillary, for that's a given, but by her voters. We now extend the possibility of this time-limited offer and highly recommend you accept it, before it is off the table. Should you refuse, we will naturally never acknowledge any commitment was given nor implied. In the meantime, we'll dangle it as the latest worm on our hook and see what impact it has on the next set of polls before deciding whether to pursue it further. . . . . and now back to our commercials for other useless, shoddy products you don't really need or want."

The momentuously multiplying Just Say No Deal members, who just raised millions in a few weeks, may be asking: Won't they ever get it? We are not buying. Free shipping, vote pandering, issue-switching and globally expanding publicity aside. This is not a product we want in our White House. Not even with the finest of window dressing. Not even with internationally televised speeches, given in historic settings after weeks of plagiarized compilation and rehearsal. Not even if mobama learns to speak French in a whisper and wear Jackie Kennedy costumes day and night for eight years running. Not even if secret new technologies send night-long near-silent subliminal signals, via our sleeping computers: "It's over, it's over, buy now or be sorry later."

Our answer will remain the same (in paraphrase of the wonderful witch from "Wicked") "Whose to say we've been changed for the better? We only know we've been changed for good!" We of PUMA are and shall remain . . . in one voice . . .nobama, noway, nohow.

Ain't it funny how Will Bower, spokcsman for the Just Say No Deal coalition can say more worth saying in a matter of moments on Fox than all Humpty Dumpty's men can manage in a full hour on CNN?!

Congressional Check List for Change

2008-06-20T11:04:00.000-07:00

In case you missed it, a group of Democratic US Senators, all women, have surfaced, subsequent to the Primary fiasco, with bright, shiny spin to lure back bruised Hillary supporters. You are welcome to view with a jaundiced eye. This former democrat couldn't endure it all the way through, but admires your fortitude, if you do:

The "Women's Checklist for Change", recently introduced by the Stepford Senators on national television has evoked this alternative "Congressional Checklist for Change", in response. We humbly request it inspire our US representatives to a higher moral authority:

1. Communicate with Relevance. Mean what you say, say what you mean and say it when it still matters.

2. Be Authentic. Americans, at large, are appalled at your current unabashed vote pandering. You brushed aside Hillary Clinton, who will always be far more woman and leader than any of you. By not protesting the blatant sexism displayed throughout this primary season, you were, yourself, complicit in it.

3. Accept that your actions and inaction have consequences. It's said "there is a special place in hell for women who do not support other women." Your inaction could only be rectified by starting to finally speak out on the truth. Your current PR program is a transparent sham, as is your Super Delegate status.

4. Promises are a poor substitute for action. Do you actually believe that your sudden inspiration to stand up for women's rights, by promising legislation - some of which you have borrowed from the campaign of the candidate you allowed to be crucified - is going to undo the damage your silence has done ? It won't.

5. Learn to listen. It may be a stretch for you to grasp, but not all American women embrace reconciliation after abuse, based on gifts, glib smiles and lofty public statements.

6.Policy statements cannot replace integrity. The value of true character transcends the merits of all other issues. Hillary Clinton has proven she has it. None of you have done so. Your attempts to grab her votes, and now her voters, is without integrity.

7. Voters may be invisible but they are not unconscious. Through the degradation, disrespect and abuse, along with the online tirades and threats toward Hillary and her supporters - by obama supporters - you were invisible, showing no regard, taking no stand. Either this was intentional, which is cowardly and proves you unfit to represent US in our government - or you were actually ignorant of the obama campaign conduct, which equally makes you unfit to represent US in our government.

8. Short term values produce short term rewards.. In your media interview, you all looked so happy and proud. You must receiving mush praise from obama and company. You've probably been given great expectations of rewards for falling in line so publicly and politely. As you show not an ounce of dignity between you, enjoy the pats and perks while they last. That will not be long.

9. Campaign rhetoric cannot replace true intelligence and compassion. If you cared about the women of Emily's list, who helped to fund several of your own campaigns, you would have taken a stand for Hillary, whose record on women's rights is clear and considerable. If you cared about the US energy crisis, you would not support a candidate who voted in favor of the Bush-Cheney energy bill - and whose campaign has more energy industry backing than all other candidates combined. If you cared about the middle class housing crisis, you would not be backing a candidate who is strongly backed by the sub-prime lenders who contributed to this crisis. You would, instead, be working for the Presidency of Hillary Clinton, who has warned of this crisis far in advance. You would be helping her to execute her platform and sound leadership to resolve this crisis. If you genuinely identified, whatsoever, with women's causes, you would have made the degraded standards and media misrepresentations of this primary season, your own personal and political cause. Lastly, if you had any grasp of National Security and took your elected positions seriously, you would have been conducting your own investigation into the background, associations, affiliations, endorsements and extremist causes of your new hero. Doing so, you would then see that he isn't fit for Congress, is not qualified for Security Clearance, and would endanger our country as its leader.

10. Forgiving irresponsible Congressional conduct is not an option. If you realized how much damage, you, as individuals and a group, have done by your complacency, you would understand why a life-long Democratic party worker, like myself and millions of others, are withdrawing all forms of support from the no-longer-democratic party. You would be as forgiving, later, as you'd like US to be now, when we, instead, work with passion, fervor and commitment to have as many of you as possible removed from office.

Wait A Minute! If you feel at all like I do, you'd like to get the attention of these representatives of We, the People and show them, while we may be invisible, we do Have a Voice and want to be heard!

WAM! is a new way to do just that. Here is our first WAM in action: Here's a list of the Senators who take pride in their new Checklist for Women. They can each be emailed, individually, via their own website.

Just go to:www.Senate.gov

Then click on each name in this list. All are invited to copy the above "Congressional Checklist for Change" and paste it into each Senator's comment box. It won't take long, will make you feel great, and could help them to Wake Up and Listen! Of course, feel free to add your own personal comments. This material is copyright free.

For All the Truth that You Made US See

2008-06-15T08:27:00.000-07:00

For all the times Hillary has stood by US, click "For all the Truth.." above this video - and send her a personal thanks. You'll get a comment box for your own message of Truth. Let Hillary know why you Do Not Stand with the DNC and will Not Vote for Obama!

The DNC and Obama campaign would like us to feel we are each all alone. They want us to think we cannot resist their Media and Mind Control campaign. They want us to believe we cannot overcome their spin and subterfuge. They want to convince us that we should give up not only on Hillary, but every core truth We the People of US has ever valued. They want to persuade us that Truth is outdated, replaced with Obama's false promises and shape-shifting lies.

The Will of the People says otherwise. Now it's up to each of US to apply the Principles of Democracy in ACTION. There are many ways to take a stand, find your voice and make yourself heard!

Click on Just Say No Deal - at end of this post - to connect with informative and action-oriented Sites. Join with the growing multitude of like-minded sane Americans. The future of Democracy depends on US.

A Heartfelt Thanks to Hillary Clinton for her Inspiration!

For all those times that you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

I'll be forever thankful,

You're the one who held me up

Never let me fall

You're the one who saw me through

Through it all

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith cause you believed

I'm everything I am because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand, I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love, I had it all

I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I don't know that much

But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark

Shining your love into my life

You've been my inspiration

Through the lies, you were the truth

My world is a better place

Because of you

Senator Obama...from whence did he rise?

2008-05-21T15:31:00.000-07:00

Tracing the origin of Barack Obama's meteoric rise to political prominence, his three key mentors come immediately to mind. Indications are Wm. Ayres, whom he recently referenced as just a guy in his neighborhood has long played a prominent role in the development of Obama's far left ideology and divide-to-conquer political strategies. It was not by accident that Obama's first run for office was hosted and celebrated in the Ayres home. Long before, Obama was employed by Ayres to direct the Addenberg Foundation. During their association, Obama and Ayres also utilized the Woods group to support Muslim causes in America.

Next comes Antonio Rezko, soon-to-be-convicted Lebanese slumlord charged with numerous counts of political corruption. An apparent specialist in money laundering, Rezko bilked the city of Chicago for millions, with the help of his office-holding friends, whom he helped to place in office. A real win-win for a longtime. Until famed Prosecutor Patrick Fitgerald came to town. The trail of Rezko's cash seems to trace back to the Middle East and its consequences, thus far, include IL voters demand for a recall vote against the IL Governor involved. How further investigation will impact Obama is not yet known. What investigative reporter, Evelyn Pringle, claims to verify so far is that Obama was Rezko's 'bagman' on a hospital facilities scheme. It is also apparently verified that Obama, once in office, is documented to have used his IL Senate stature to gain Rezko real estate and investment favor. Would seem the least he could do, considering Rezko's significant campaign contributions for the political newcomer, including the hosting of a major fundraiser in his own mansion, complete with at least one major wealthy Middle East player. Though Obama denied "really knowing" Rezko in a televised debate and claimed awareness of modest campaign donations to same, he has since found it necessary to acknowledge, instead, that the two, in their eighteen year relationship, didn't always talk on the phone everyday. After indicating he's passed on Rezko's cash to charities, he has twice since had to increase substantially his admission of much larger Rezko capitalization - most recently, in interview with the Chicago Sun Times.

Finally, comes Jeremiah Wright, self styled Black Theology leader, whose South Side church became the base for Obama's networking efforts among AA's, and his subsequent influence in the radical wing of the black community. By now, we're all aware of Wright's rabid anti-middle class, anti-semite and anti-American platform. (Apologies to all whom he hates that have been left off this short list.) Again, early denials on Obama's part have required a dodgy reversal and somewhat faulty attempts to remove Wright from the spotlight, with the perk of early retirement to a $10 million dollar credit-line mansion in a nice white neighborhood. Only those who pay attention, which does not include mainstream media, take note that the Obamas membership in TUCC continues, under the leadership of a younger, smoother version of Wright.

We are all left to just get used to the idea that Obama, as Lou Dobbs of CNN, has pointed out is "comfortable with people who hate America." Aside from that, what do these three Obama mentors have in common? Without them, he may not have had the agenda, connections and capital to promote his rapid-fire burst onto the national scene. A review of Obama's other shortcuts to political fame and fortune include his ruthless legal maneuver to remove a shorter-term mentor from the IL ballot, on a filing technicality, to boost himself, instead, to the Illinois Senate. Nor would he have managed such a handy victory to the US Senate had the sealed records of the controversial divorce records of then popular Jack Ryan not mysteriously reached the press. Obama's penchant for eliminating competition in advance of democratic process was, thus, established long before his numerous ploys and maneuvers to force out his current competitor, Hillary Clinton. Suffice to say, by the time Obama left Chicago for D.C. he was more-than-well-financed, replete with back-room connections and had pockets already stuffed with radical and pro-Muslim agendas.

One could ask, and we should, what did Obama actually do, once in office in the IL legislature? Other than providing impressive recommendations for Rezko schemes, as obliged, not much. A pattern, which has continued in Washington, emerged of taking late-date credit for the hard work of other, but those details are beyond the scope of our space at this time. And, while not certain if it's a record-breaker, his penchant for voting 'Present Only' (more than 100 times) also took shape, speaking volumes for his cautious perseverance in avoiding a stand on anything in particular, while developing his knack for oration about everything in general. Since then, his other pattern of flatly denying his own record has included, in a televised debate, a refusal to acknowledge his documented support of a complete ban on hand guns. But what's a guy to do when faced with protests in support of 2nd ammendment rights? Guess that would be obvious, by now. Just lie and hope not many notice and protest. So far, they usually haven't.

Finally, there is his pattern of taking credit for non-existent accomplishments to support his rhetoric of moment. A telling example being his claim of passing nuclear watchdog legislation. That would certainly have added merit to his otherwise unimpressive IL record, had it actually occurred. Trouble is the true story, while more interesting, is less honorable. Turns out that it's true that his constituents rose up in protest of potential nuclear leaks. It's even true that he co-sponsored a bill to tighten regulations. But the story continues with Obama's dilution of his own bill to eliminate oversight. As a result, the bill became so meaningless it never made it to law, but there was an upside to him, if not his community. Obama received generous contributions from Exelon, the company against whom his constituents had complained!

What has become of Obama's politically opportunistic patterns as a US Senator? In a nutshell, they seem to have held in place. His Senate voting record is most notable for its unusually high absenteeism. He voted against his own party in favor of the Bush-Cheney Energy Bill- but considering his sponsorships that's no surprise. His Presidential run has been as devoid of attention to US energy challenges as it has to environmental issues, two needs that are intertwined to a level of complexity beyond his apparent interest or grasp. Demonstrating fast-on-his-feet tactics to appeal to voters appeal in Oregon Obama recently touted a Preservation Plan in response to Hillary Clinton's id-depth plans in this area. When it came to attention that his Plan emphasized solving Oregon's 'Great Lakes' issues, he quickly attempted to cover his faux pas by indicating he got this confused with environmental efforts back in Illinois. These would come as a surprise to IL conservationists only because they appear not to have existed. However, one can forgive he is so geographically challenged (to forget that his Chicago Midwest home, not the state of Oregon sits near the 'Great Lakes') when compared to his other Oregon blooper regarding the "57 states" he had traveled, thus far, during his current campaign.Trouble there is we have 50 US states, last we checked, and it is the Muslim Nations that are counted at 57! Leads us to ask, was he merely flubbing, again or, instead, was he revealing something relevant? His revulsion to support drawing in the reigns on the oil industry begs similar questions. While our country reels from gas price spikes, with more indicated to come, Obama's response to this critical issue, thus far, has been to give patronizing speeches admonishing SUV drivers and shouting we all need to drive less. Is this his version of a viable solution to our need for US energy independence?

As action speak louder than words, his recent response to the housing foreclosure crisis has been similar. Rather than taking a stand on this as a Senator (which he is still supposed to be) he left his Ohio campaign, site of destructively sweeping home owner losses, to fly to New York, for a closed door fundraiser sponsored by Credit Suisse, one of the overseas sub-prime lenders who has gotten our housing segment into this crisis.

When asked in debate about our critical immigrations problems, Obama was confronted with his only known activity on this issue to date: support for provision of US driver's licenses for illegal aliens. This, again, would seem a strange solution of this complex issue. Until one learns that Obama has promised this measure to Muslim groups who have endorsed him. While all Americans must spend hours at airport check-ins due to terrorist-threat inspections, do we really want to provide Muslims - who are here illlegally with easy access to on-the-road privileges?

We might also wonder if Obama's outreach in Congress, where he rarely serves his own post these days, has had influence in a controversial bill, led by his supporter, Senator Feinstein, and recently rushed through to the Senate Appropriations committee. The legislation in question has attached a peculiar and sweeping illegal immigrant amnesty measure onto the long belabored, overdue funding of our troops in Iraq. To attach a rider you do want to a bill others believe to be of great need is not an unusual Washington trick. Even to do so in the dead of night, as this one was, is not unheard of. But perhaps, in the rush, we could ask: why does this rider allow, singularily, for fast track green card status for these particular select groups: goat herders, sheep herders and horse workers?!

Not many of these from across the Mexican border, lately, that we know of. But we do know these trades to represent a staple of employment in the Muslim world. Remember, in coincidence again, Obama's description of his own father as a goat herder? While that turned out to be just one more untruth of many in his ever-changing biography, apparently it is so that his father was a member of a ranching family that employed many goat herders. Does the US have some gripping need that most of us don't know of to require rapid citizenship rights for these Mid East specialists? It isn't a far reach to notice the oddity of CNN's "First Time Voters" recent TV campaign to feature, as a lead item, the issues of Muslim American voters.

There's not much of a stretch needed, to potentially connect these weird occurrences to Obama/Ayres Woods foundation $35,000 donation to a pro-Muslim group, whose highly polished website promotes such causes as a) provide Arab translators file police complaints on domestic violence and b) provide legal assistance to assure new Muslim immigrants receive the fullest measure of government assistance. Are these causes, so close to Obama's heart, really congruent with solving American immigration problems or exacerbating them? Images of suburban Paris riots and London reports of these 2 nations inability to manage their influx of Muslim immigrants come to mind. Are we, now, to follow suit?

The most action-oriented undertaking we've found in Obama's unremarkable Senate carreer bears an eerie correspondence to the items above. His claim expertise in foreign affairs appears to relate mainly to having spent childhood years outside our country, when he was Muslim schooled in Indonesia. The media has been kind in overlooking this mark of distinction as it has does in an onslaught of Obama anomolies. The fact, for instance, that this Senator is Chairman of the Afghanistan committee and, despite expert indications that country is core to resolving our terrorism concerns, Obama has not called one single meeting. When asked about this recently, the Senator said he hasn't had time.

Yet, Obama did find time, just last week for a Hezbolla meeting. Some may recall his recent Michigan campaign stops, where he shook hands with economically insecure auto workers. A few may recall his offensive sexism toward a woman reporter, brushing her question off with a 'Later, Sweetie." The reporter was actually more frustrated by his lack of response to this vital question than by his insult: "What will you do for the auto workers, Senator?" No answer ever came. Instead Obama left the auto plant, pressed by his heavy schedule.

Yet, he found time on his Michigan jaunt for a pre-arranged meeting with Imam Hassan Qazwinin, leader of a Mosque notorious for its successful fundraising efforts (right here on US soil) on behalf of Hezbollah. A researcher in this area notes that Qazwinin is quite tight with Hezbollah leader Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallal, who, by another coincidence shares a name with the Senator. Qazwinin, it is reported, was, in fact, sent to the US by Iran to "help radicalize The Islamic Center of America. High on the US terrorist watch list, Fadlallal is notorious for, among other things, demanding the cold blooded execution of 300 US Marines along with civilians. Nevertheless, we hear that Fadllallal's fundraiser, Qazwinin and Obama enjoyed their cozy Michigan one-on-one. He even gave Obama a new book "American Crescent."

Middle class auto workers needs aside, we couldn't expect Barack Hussein to pass by the need to keep in touch with his radical supporters, now could we? Qazwinin has previously given warm welcome to another Obama endorser, Louis Farrakan. Just as HAMAS recently indicated their hopes for an Obama US Presidency, so, we know has this Nation of Islam leader. Qazwinin has particularly applauded Farrakan's anti-Semiticism, concurring completely with his group's stand for "jihad" on the American people.

Although we are among those that have received emails expressing concern that Obama is at the center of this jihad movement, that deeper subject is beyond the scope of this article. Instead, we'll return to a notable unreported low light of Obama's Senate history: his 2006 trip to Kenya, in which the then democratic Kenyan government rolled out the red carpet for this US official. To their dismay, according to Kenya's government archives, Obama used this trip to campaign for his Muslim cousin, Odinga. Apparently, he riled up the locals with claims that their government was corrupt and that it was time for "Change!" Sound familiar? Kenya's government was so outraged that this American official used his visa to incite their people, in this manner, an Official Written Protest and complaint was filed. Since then, as many are aware, Kenya has certainly changed, as a result of the mass rape and destruction that Obama's cousin, Odinga subsequently led. Now that Odinga has threatened his way to Minority Leader Status, if you want a copy of these documents, better get to the official Kenya government website before they are scrubbed. A phenomenon common to third world affairs and most recently brought to American democratic blog sites, thanks to Odinga's cous' Obama.

Is there more to say about Barrack Hussein Obama's Senate experience? Knowing questions are not well received in his campaign to move to the top right now, we are also wondering why while Obama's mesmerized crowds chant with him for Change! by doing away with Washington's corrupt 'old guard' his Presidential nomination is thus far endorsed by 8 of the 10 Senate Chairmen who epitomize the established way of doing things, have pledged him support? (10 others remain wisely uncommitted to him, so far.)

Lastly, we can't help but ask: Why is the mainstream Media so abuzz with the controversy of whether Barack would actually follow through on his oft-stated willingness to meet, without preconditions, with terrorist leaders? As shown in Michigan, last week, he is already doing so!

The Brains behind "Barama"

2008-05-03T07:43:00.000-07:00

Come back May 22, Wednesday A.M. for Revealing New Post on Obama's Senate Record!

Until recently, Barack Obama's wife had stayed, in the main, out of the news. We can't say if her absence from center stage was due to her (politely unspoken) lack of appeal as "First Lady", infamous "never before proud of America" remark or might it be she was far too busy 'behind the scenes.' Could be all the above.

Last spotted on air, Mrs. O strolled an Obama campaign bus, garbed in skin-fitted black leggings. An appearance better befitting a 'girlfriend gone shopping' than a to-be mistress of the White House? No prob. Many celebs would rather flaunt VIP status by dressing-down rather than up. Besides, should her hubby win, imagine the rapid decline of the fashion world's corrupt influence on youth, not to mention the closet space saved in college dorm rooms. Just a pair of black shoes, a few black leggings and a stack of black Messiah tees would be enough for any true Obamanite. Not to mention how the decreased demand for underpaid 3rd world seamstresses might improve our US image overseas.

But wait! As the political winds shifted in the last Wright storm, Michelle transformed into a middle class mannequin, moving to center stage in the public eye. A much publicized interview on mainstream TV, displayed a Mrs. O of demure demeanor, both soft spoken and daintily dressed. This noteable campaign 'image shift' also extended to streaming MSM images of the Obama couple, opening rallies as a classic American middle-class foursome, accented by Daddy uplifting their unsmiling younger tyke for the eyes of the world to behold. These video spots worked seamlessly with reports of Obama hanging out in the Indiana burbs. Switch to spots of kitchen coffee clutch, sharing about the hard life she and hubbie had in their upwardly mobile climb. Gee, seems they're just like you and me. Meanwhile, replays of her much touted interview show a fawn-eyed Michelle, sympathetically bemoaning how tough it's been for downtrodden Barack to disown his spiritual 'uncle'.

See May 2, 2008 washingtonpost.com article by Charles Krauthammer, "The Race Speech Revisited"

Anyway, all this got me to wondering, who is Michelle Obama, really? What does she really think? How much influence does she bear in this monumentally funded, mulit-level campaign? Ask and you receive. The answers to these questions came fast and furious and they need to be seen, by the public at large.

1. Turns out that Michelle Obama, in her Princeton thesis, carefully propounded an Afro-American need to choose between, what she called, being an integrationist or a separationist. This document, in her own words (linked below), made very clear what her passionate preference would be. And the fuller text of her thesis totally resolves any doubt about the alignment of her own black vs. white philosophy with that of Trinity Church. In fact, her viewpoint on the need for "separationists" so adamantly focused on racial distinctions, she pressed for Princeton's black elite to take a stand for race over all other factors. Less than 15% of the college's AA students bothered to even complete her questionnaire. Seems even those elitists were, maybe, uncomfortable about the undertone of resentment and anger she transmitted, even back then. See more on this here and never ask again, what were Obama's doing in Wright's church.

Before moving to another illuminating Mrs. O revelation, bear in mind that the Obamas HAVE NOT suspended their church membership and the NEW minister can be seen on video to maintain the same stands as the retired Wright.

See www.dontvoteobama.net for more of Michelle Obama's Princeton Thesis

2. As we all know, Barack Obama did not really answer the only debate question about his relationship to domestic terrorist, William Ayres. Instead, he referred to the Weathermen bomber turned Education Professor as just a guy in my neighborhood and, oddly enough, an English professor. If Obama, as he indicated, barely knew Ayres at all, his mistake about Ayres profession could be understandable. Such is not the case. Numerous long term close links between Obama and Ayres have since been factually traced.

These include:

Obama's Announcement of his first Candidacy for Office was made in Ayres home.

Obama's became employed by same law firm that represented Com Ed, which was led by Ayres father at the time.)

Obama's relationship to Black Panthers, who are represented in his official campaign website are closely connected to Ayres Weathermen terrorists in tactics and goals.

Obama's participated intimately in the Woods Board with Ayres over several years

For more info go to NoQuarter to find several extensive features.

Beyond any of the above:

Obama was employed by Ayres, for 8 years, at the Addenberg Foundation.

Applying a gram of truth or an eye drop of common sense, can anyone claim any longer that Obama's relationship to Ayres is not questionable? If not, why has he gone to such lengths to cover it up? And why did his evasive reply to debate query include: "Well, he hasn't endorsed me." Is that supposed to be a joke on the public or is it meant to make us not worry?

How far back down the rabbit hole does Barack's connection to Ayres really go?

http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/5/2/14191/05660

3. It's taken a while to reach the light of day, but is now confirmed that, many years ago, Michelle was a co-worker at a law firm with William Ayres partner-in-domestic-terror-crimes, his current wife, Bernadette. Yes, it would appear possible, or even likely, that it was Michelle who brought the Ayres into Barack's life. Considering the direction and tone of her thesis, these now neighborly couples share a world-view as well matched as a pair of bookends. Taking into account Mrs. Ayres early writings on the "need to swim like fish" into mainstream culture (an advice drawn from Che Guavera) one doesn't need to delve much deeper to see Obama/Ayres current of thought follows the same stream and sanctions the use of insidious tactics to accomplish its goals.

4. Now it appears that the use of subversion to achieve her dedicated ends has been successfully channeled right into the Democratic Party's main stream. Many were surprised this week when Joe Andrews, former Clinton appointed DNC Chairman, suddenly switched horses in midstream, by withdrawing his Clinton Super Delegate endorsement to that of her opponent. His change of heart was seen on TV, where Andrews praised the candidacy of "Barama" (no, that's not a typo; it is what he said.) He also expressed a "heavy heart" about changing his position. What, we wondered, could have changed his mind?

See blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/05/that-joe-andrew.html

Wondered, that is, until follow-up disclosures have revealed that Attorney Andrews law firm is retained by the same major Chicago hospital where Michelle Obama holds a seat on the board. Small world. Smacks of the same sleazy politic style that helped Obama climb the political ladder all along. And we can't help but picture Michelle right behind him, digging a heel in the face of any competitor who dares to come near. Who can blame her? It's not easy turning for one seemly couple (with a little help from their friends) to turn the integrated American middle class into separationist camps.

So, let's give we credit where it's due: it's taken passionate vision, tenacity and drive, and more than a decade of preparation to persuade the voters in history's most progressive democracy that it's headed in the wrong direction and it's time for a change. Can we not pause long enough to just ask - exactly to what?!

If not, we can count on one thing: with this couple in the White House, soap operas would be so passe. We'd need only to turn to Fox news for the latest stranger-than-fiction truth to rear its ugly head.

Media Campaign to Rig the Election

2008-04-23T08:20:00.000-07:00

As Hillary Clinton's uphill climb for the Presidency courageously carries on, it's time for her supporters to look square in the eye the factors that have acted, in collusion and concert, to block her nomination. Many voters, who get their facts straight from the internet, have long been aware of the truth of where and how this race is really being run. Yet, too many well-intentioned other voters have become unwitting shills to those who are really driving this election - namely the front-guard misinformation experts of Mainstream Media.

To demonstrate this, one need only examine the voter demographics of the "Open" Democratic Primaries to date, which reveal the role of Republican "cross over" voters, who have played no small role in the "momentum" of Barack Obama's candidacy. Results, for instance, in Wisconsin's "open" primary sowed that districts on record at 3 to 1 Republican, in 2008, magically transformed into 2 or 3 to 1 Democrat-for-Obama districts this spring. For any who imagine tis shift reflects dissatisfaction with George Bush, think again. These same areas had local races where traditional Republican guard remained successful. As to whether this factor cost Hillary the state, at the least it deprived her of numerous delegates, were this "cross over" faction not to have taken part. And, as the media keeps harping away, we all know this contest is a race-to-the-finish, not for mere votes, but for delegates!

What does the disproportionately high Democrat turn-out in Republican strongholds really indicate? Simply this: that there has been a strong intentional strategy of misleading the Democratic party into the illusion that Obama is a magical draw to the growth of the party. Not so. These "cross over" votes are the direct results of Republican efforts to confuse and confound the Democratic base, by the means of inflating Obama's attractiveness to the electorate. Come fall, these fictitious Democrats will return to the nest and vote for John McCain, as they have intended all along. In the meantime, things going as planned, their primary votes will have served their purpose: eliminating the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. Thus, the Obama Super Delegate argument of his broad-based appeal is no less than a fraud. And if that candidate believes otherwise, then he is naive.

Neither are the wealthy "special interest" groups who have thus far funded his bottomless war chest actually Democrats. Rather, they represent major corporate interests determined to stop Hillary Clinton, whatever the cost. They began establishing her "negative" public image long ago, in her earlier attempts to confront their tactics and policies on issues such as health care. Will they continue to prop up his media-driven favorability if he is handed the nomination? Certainly not. Having reached their end-goal, by using the media to assault Hillary's campaign left, right and center, day and night, their spending glut will likely switch in large part to their real party: Republican. Any who think otherwise might also believe that Karl Rove and his handbook of devious, dirty media politics is retired. For those that buy that, there's a nice bridge or two for purchase in Minnesota. In need of repair, like most of our infrastructure, but, alas, that's the cost of war and maintaining high international corporate profits.

It would be amusing, were it not so tragic, that the mass of young voters, who fill the corporate candidate's Messianic rallies, complete with dramatic fainting spells, as well as his fans who have poisoned the internet with profanities and hacking of Hillary supporter sites really believe that their personal contributions have financed the Obama campaign. The majority of these first-time voters have no experience with life's financial realities. Many still subsist on the paychecks of their middle class parents. Who could expect them to realize that multi million $$$ Media buys don't materialize out of pocket change? Just as the public, as a whole, remains unaware that FCC licenses have granted these dangerous giants free use of our air waves - with an understanding that free public service information will be provided our citizens - and with no oversight on how free air time is doled out or to whom. Obama, to date, is the MassMainstreamMedia's best single customer to date. So what corporation doesn't tend to do favors for their own preferred clientele?

Relatively few voters are aware that Obama's is the only campaign that accepts contributions from 16 yr. olds (Most require a minimum age of 18 for contributors.) Are we really to imagine the Obama camp foresaw a rush of high schoolers dying to give him their weekly allowance? Recently scrolling the logs of his pre-March disclosures, the numbers of "unemployed students" who provided $4,600 at a time, were remarkable! It's no surprise, though, that the media madness surrounding his campaign continues to conceal the main ingredient in Obama "magical" recipe for skyrocketing fame and success.

It's called "money bundling" and it has the power to turn a pig's ear into a silk purse. More critical than most any other national issue and more harmful than any environmental pollutant, it is the harsh reality which drives the Obamamania that has swept across the country like a toxic virus. Too many Americans remain unacquainted with this powerful tool of back-door political trade. It's up to those who are to wake up those who've yet to succumb and continue our grass roots movement against this tide. If left unchecked, its ultimate outcome could be the the fascist control of America.

Money bundlers' unraveling of democracy's thread is aptly depicted in John Grisham's current and timely best-seller. "The Appeal"'s plot follows the career of an ambitious young attorney who becomes a bought-and-paid-for candidate, secretly backed by special interests for the purpose of destroying an experienced woman office holder, whose election is deemed unfavorable to their ongoing profiteering. Does this story-line sound familiar?

Fact is, this special interest technique for securing a representative in government is nothing new. Its level of sophistication and its aim today is to hold the highest office in the land. Financing a candidate, without public scrutiny, is a relatively simple matter. All that's required is a long, large list of employees, associates and friends of the corporation, along with the names of their family members. In Obama's case that would be family members of age 16 or older. Presto! A "ground-up movement" appears overnight. Millions of dollars stream in, out of thin air, from seemingly separate donors. A financially obscene and unstoppable Media machine is born, spewing out from its octopus head non-stop prime time MSM ads, internet videos, skewed polls, venomous direct mailers and whatever else it may take. Money being no object, confidence skyrockets and the Chosen One's ratings soar.

That today's MSM seeks out, survives and thrives on "conflict-driven news" was recently acknowledged in Newsweek editor interview on The Daily Show. In an otherwise slowing economy, Obama's bundled-money campaign has been a great boon to their industry! Floods of money, filtered through the campaign's supposed "grass roots" checkbook, has inundated our air waves with a ceaseless storm of more illusions, fabrications, half truths and inflammatory concoctions than any one scrutinizing blogger could keep track off and stay sane.

Spreading that storm are the cable networks substitutes for real reporters. Typically hired for image vs. intelligence, these "commentators", more often than not, posture as journalists while delivering whatever trash they are told, straight from the cue-lines of their monitors. Expanding their broadcasts to run night and day, they are ceaselessly viewed from breakfast through dinner, then onto bedtime. In between they are seen and heard in waiting rooms, at the gym, on sports-bar screens, and now, even on cell phone screens. Thus, the selection of the next leader of the Free World is sold to a national market, with less attention to his substance or or real stand on issues than commitment to back him, come hell or high water, as the Media's own biggest customer and, therefore, their most important new product to pitch.

A quick look at some key staffers of cable "news" campaign for Barack makes this crystal clear. CNN stars include Donna Brazille, best known if not loved for her role in disenfranchising FLA & MI voters. MSNBC, the network most invested in Obama's image stars Keith Olbermann, now recognized by many as TV's most flagrant mysoginist, While Fox, seeming of late to be holding some cards beneath the table, celebrates the bizarre addition of Karl Rove, notorious Republican strategist, best known for sending the US to hell, via his successful media manipulation, which propagandized the war in Iraq.

Cutting to the chase, Barack Obama's media created and generated candidacy has been supported by back-door funding of corporations, to be spent on media owned or controlled by same special interests to fool the public into (unwittingly) voting in the perpetuation of more fraud upon the public.

Hillary Clinton has more votes, were they all counted, and more delegate support than Obama's camp would prefer we know. But, once this primary season ends, ratings plummet and profits diminish. So, the best game in town, for now, is to noisily, fraudulently screech for her withdrawal, fill high-profit, low content freebie frames with Obama's endless nothings, while the MSM and their backers can secretly delight in so having their cake and eating it too.

Please do forward this "Bundled Money" primer to any you know who may not know what's really going on in this campaign.

Spirited Politics in PA

2008-04-20T17:59:00.000-07:00

New York Times sums last debate up here:

Obama "did not knock her out and the aura around (him) has changed. Furiously courting Democratic primary voters and apparently exhausted Obama has emerged as a more conventional politician ...sprinkled his performance with the sorts of fibs, evasions and hypocrosies ..of conventional politics...It was inevitable that the period of "Yes We Can!" deification would come to an end...It was not inevitable that Obama would now look so vulnerable. David Brooks

On the Economy Hillary emphasized plans for bank and credit reform. Obama's reticence to focus on either reform or support for foreclose threatened homeowners is consistent with his recent "closed door" NY fundraiser, sponsored by Credit Suisse, overseas sub-prime lender among those responsible for current US housing crisis.

US/International Policy Hillary made reference to a new plan of "umbrella" support strategy for our Mid East allies, and was "in her element" as the preferred candidate of US Generals, providing well-grounded specifics of improved national security. "She certainly seems more self-assured on the Iran question than Obama did... (on) The questions of extending an American security umbrella, you could see he (Obama) was on delicate ground" Josh Marshall, Talking Points Memo. Even NBC's Mathew Berger observed: "Obama tried to have it both ways with Israel".

Clinton remained adamant in her refusal to meet with"Masters of Denial". Justifiably referring back to an earlier debate faux pas in which Obama indicated he would do just that. His unsettling openness to negotiate with terrorists may be the reason for his endorsement this week by suicide bombing leader of HAMAS. See more on this at Foxnews After all, "Obama is comfortable with people who hate our country" as shown on CNN's Lou Dobbs this Sunday, post-debate. For more on this, go to video interview at April 21 post of: http://hyper-educated-uppity-woman.blogspot.com/

About the War in Iraq Hillary remained steadfast in her plan to begin troop withdrawals within 60 days, with a responsible forward schedule supporting protection of Americans and our allies. Obama, in another shift of his constantly wobbling Iraq opinions now stated he will have all US troops out in 6 months. Sounds great but contradicts a recent Obama adviser press leak suggesting it could be 2010 before there is withdrawal activity.

Energy Independence and US Employment Hillary remained crystal clear in her determined plan to refuel the US economy via a windfall tax on glut-profit oil companies. Use of these funds to invest in alternative and cleaner energy, when combined with rebuilding our country's outworn infrastructure. will provide new jobs. Again Obama's ambiguity on these topics only afforded qualifiers like "investigate" and "long term" review. No surprise, since the "bundled money" of oil companies has helped finance his media ad blitz. Almost as an afterthought, he added "oh and we hope to reduce the national debt"- lacking, as usual, in how to accomplish this.

Untruths and Bloopers Clinton acknowledged her mis-speaking on Bosnia, accepted responsibility and apologized. Obama triggered a surprised reaction when asked again about Rev. Wright. Irritated, he retorted, "I've already disowned him!" then stammered instead "I mean I've disowned his remarks."

The topic of gun control reeastablished Obama's proclivity to "tell the big lies" when under fire. Asked by a viewer on video about his refusal to wear US flag pin (a stand he is clearly quoted to take), he applied his favored technique of redirecting the question rather than responding. This led the Philadelphia Inquirer to observe "Obama's ramblings...and evasions." New York times concurred "He claimed falsely that his handwriting wasn't on a questionairre (banning all hand guns)". NBC noted "His answer on Ayres and the flag question were simply weak. He seemed unprepared for them...(he) rants against "old politics" and yet... these questions seemed to stump him."

Christian Science Monitor says "Obama's record show more than a passing familiarity with old school politics. He played hardball to wind his first election, apprenticed himself to a scion of Chicago's Democratic machine (Rezko) and voted present more than 100 times in the Illinois Senate in what critics have described as a dodge of controversial issues." Review Obama's US Senate record for a similar pattern at Washington Post online.

Biggest Debate BooBoo Debate query about Obama's domestic terrorist pal, Ayres (a topic avoided by most until now) resulted in an off guard Obama shakey reply remarking he's just "a guy in my neighborhood" and adding "I have no official endorsement by him" and shifting to a comparison of the courtesy he also shows a conservative Republican congressman. Pray tell - What exactly does a convicted domestic bomber have in common with a member of US Congress?! No debate time to discuss how Obama with Ayres, as Woods Board Members, conjoined in contributing $35,000 to an Arab American league, for support of programs like "providing translators for victims of domestic abuse" (while Latinos don't get that much help in emergency rooms) and to support Palestinian immigrant "rights to government aid" here. Are we to emulate the London/Paris Muslim immigrant crises? Supported by the same candidate who claims we should wall off Mexico?!

Reviewers Acclaim Hillary Clinton's PA Debate Presentation Lauded for her strong "Presence" and commended by the New York Times, even the most hard core Obama support group of MSNBC had to acknowledge "...a near disastrous performance by Obama.."

What does this all add up to in the votes yet to be cast? Philadelphia's Channel 6 reported, after the debate, an Independent Voters focus group called the debate a win for Hillary (by 50%) with only 23% approval of Obama. .. Even a conservative blog stated "If I were John McCain, right about now, I'd be wishing Obama would be my opponent."

The Politics of the Foolish

2008-04-15T08:59:00.000-07:00

Recently heard this comment about Obama, "Some village is missing their idiot". Maybe so but maybe not. After all, Hillary Clinton's entitled her book, "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child". Seems to me we are the village responsible for this dangerously foolhardy candidacy. Mightn't that make us the idiots? Let's not reflect back Barack's own wearisome victim tactics, already overused in his tawdry campaign. Like poor Obama "Hillary doesn't know what it means to grow up black in America." Not to say that he does either, having been raised elsewhere

However, we aren't hapless victims of this nightmare campaign either. We allowed the mass media to overtake our attention and much of our spare time and most of our spending habits for years now. Sadly, once given such power, the toxic MSM (as we prefer to call them now) decided to take over public opinion in all areas, straight through to choosing our Presidents for us. Twice, at least, and still counting.

It's not surprising that this current Media Darling expected San Fran millionaires to swoon over his insights into middle class Pennsylvania. Brilliant as he is, he spent six days there and that was enough to divulge the soul of all small town Americans. That part of his Messianic pitch (I know that's an oxymoron but so is he) worked just fine.

What Barack didn't count on, he couldn't have learned in Indonesia - and he had yet to discover. The unifying spark of the American people. As a major political columnist recently observed, whatever church we each attend (or not) we are first and foremost Americans. Reverend Right is wrong: racism is not inbred in our genes. Believing in the American spirit, even in troubling times, is.

It is this spirit that has gotten thousands of volunteers on the phone for Hillary, thousands of single moms (real ones) reaching into sparse checkbooks to send Hillary contributions and other Americans packing a bag to travel out-of-state to help with the latest primary. Simultaneously, picking up the slack from the MSM Mis-information Gap has sprouted more informative political blogs than spring tulips in Holland.

You see, Barry, when Americans get fed up enough, they don't just get bitter and pine away. They wake up and do something. Like this week's union organized street protests in PA against you and your divisive tactics.

Guessing Indonesian schools don't teach American history or the hapless candidate might have been forewarned by this homespun wisdom from Abe Lincoln:

"You can fool some of the people some of the time. But you cannot fool all of the people all of the time".

Spoken, incidentally, by the US President who freed the slaves more than a century ago (despite the slave metaphors on a certain campaign website.) Hopefully, Obama and company are learning something at last. To simultaneously ploy for votes from the rich, the elite and the poor, the far left, the center and the Republican right, the very educated and the illiterate, the unemployed (and unemployable and uninterested in employment) and the working middle class - all at the same - requires several different platforms, absolutely no genuine stand on any issue and trust that blind luck (dashed with "to know me is to love me" charm) would keep we Americans from noticing what your real strategy has been all along:

When Obama speaks "he says nothing and you hope that he means what you think"

Your tactics are now also totally transparent for all to see. Hopefully in time to spare us from several more years of another Impostor /Emperor with No Clothes in the White House. Divide and conquer isn't going to work forever. Whites are getting past being manipulated by guilt. Churchgoers are beginning to discourse with humanists. Women are moving out of silent longsuffering into recognition as the country's largest voting block. And, in large part thanks to the city-slicker foot-in-small town-mouth, even middle class men are waking. Fact is, as Jack Nicholson said: real men vote hillary. Gender aside, she is the Democratic party's real candidate of hope.

So, at this juncture, let's be grateful to Barry, who, by overstepping his limits, may have just jump-started more true American Spirit into action. Let's hold the vision that he'll soon be sent to the back of the line (not the bus) to relearn what real spirited politics means in the USA. It isn't bitter. It tells the truth. And it focuses on issues of genuine substance.

Check back this weekend for a spirited review of the ABC debate!
