The Blind Leading the Stoopid

The Democrats, Obama in particular, were handed a report card on Tuesday. They took one look at the big, red “F” for FAIL and decided it meant that people were upset with them, not because the people loathe their agenda, but because they haven’t been able to implement it yet.

The mind boggles. Simply…boggles.

Not that we believe for a second that they believe their own horsehockey, not by a long shot, but because they have the gall, the effrontery, the stones, to try to convince us they believe it.

As they assessed the results, Democratic lawmakers and party strategists said their judgment was that voters remained very uneasy about the economy and did not see Democrats producing on the health, energy and national security changes they promised when voters swept them to power only a year ago.

Sorry,  you can’t ‘wee-wee up’ on Americans and tell them it’s raining, ask King George III how that worked out.

Gay Activist Threatens Voters

Yesterday, Maine voters took a stance to protect the traditional definition of marriage in their state. “Question 1” was a ballot measure to implement a “citizen’s veto” on the legislation that legalized gay marriage in May. The legislators passed it, the Governor signed it, and the people rose up yesterday and defied the lawmaker’s power grab. Beautiful.

When the poll results came in the campaign manager for the opposition, Jesse Connolly, refused to accept the will of the people lying down. He vowed to fight, and work, and regroup….and find out where every single one of the people who voted for Question 1 lived.

In a defiant speech to several hundred lingering supporters, No on 1 campaign manager Jesse Connolly pledged that his side “will not quit until we know where every single one of these votes lives.”

Pssssssycho…

Iranians Protest

While thousands of Iranians turned out for rallies against the US on the anniversary of the storming of the US embassy, it was the hundreds of Iranians protesting the current regime that drew swarms of baton wielding anti-riot police. They fired tear gas into the crowd, dozens of people were beaten, and gunshots were reported.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

President Barack Obama meanwhile said in a statement marking the anniversary of the event that has sparked three decades of hostility between America and Iran that the Islamic republic “must choose” now whether to open the door to opportunity and prosperity.

Khamenei reacts to the warm and fuzzy loving from our Dear Leader–

In a meeting with Iranian students, families of martyrs, and members of student Basij organizations, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei made some of his harshest remarks against the United States since the June 12 election. Khamenei said the United States should stop dreaming that the Iranian government will collapse. He said the Islamic Republic has weathered much tougher storms in the past.

Khamenei said, “The United States is still the number one enemy of an Islamic Iran.” According to Sepah News, the media outlet of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Ayatollah Khamenei said, “The Iranian people will stand up and fight anyone who tries to violate their rights.” He added, “The list of crimes the United States committed against the Iranian people would fill a thick book.” In this meeting, which was held on the eve of the November 4 demonstrations commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the hostage crisis, Ayatollah Khamenei attacked U.S. policies and said, “They say they have changed, but they are only hiding the dagger behind their backs [to strike you with] and smile at your face.”

Khamenei said only children are fooled by these tactics. He warned Iranian officials and asserted, “Iranian officials who are smart and aware will not be fooled by this American tactic.” Khamenei criticized the US by saying, “On one hand, the Americans talk about negotiations, and on the other hand, they say these negotiations must produce their desired results or else!” He warned Washington about Iran’s domestic matters and said, “Even if a handful of gullible and traitorous people with bad intentions are sanding up against the Islamic Republic, they will never be able to roll out the red carpet for the return of the United States to Iran.”

Obama extends his ‘open hand’ and draws back a bloody stump. Gee, who could have forseen that?

The tail end of this piece from the fascinating site insideIRAN.org is enough to break your heart for these people–

“Obama, Obama, Ya ba una, Ya ba ma!” is going to be the favorite slogan of the Green Movement tomorrow which means, “Obama, you are either with them [the Iranian government] or with us [the people].

I hope they have a back-up plan.

The People Have Spoken

Maine sent proponents of gay marriage a loud and clear message last night..

“NO”

Same-sex ‘marriage’ has now been voted down in every single state (31) where it has appeared on the ballot. This confirms it, America hasn’t gone completely over the edge. We may not be in Kansas anymore, but we haven’t plunged all the way down the rabbit hole, either.

Sexual deviants will now scream and stomp their feet at the cruel and intolerant “cis-gendered” people who refuse to allow deviants to hijack the oldest social institution in human history. Apparently, democracy is a beautiful thing till the will of the people gets in the way of the will of perverts. Now it’s tantrum time, baby.

Maine is a top trending topic on Twitter, here’s a sample:

“Shame rhymes w/ Maine. The integration of church & hate.” –Actually, it doesn’t rhyme. Try again.

“Maine votes bigotry; / the Christian right celebrates: / marriage is damaged.” —An attempt at haiku. No, seriously.

“Maine you retards” –Ouch

“Very unhappy about the gay marriage loss in Maine. I *do not* understand this!” —It’s simple, I’ll ‘splain it to you. Marriage=Man+Woman. Deal.

“I wish #Maine would put up a referendum on banning intolerant people.“—Well then we’d have to get rid of gay marriage proponents, now wouldn’t we? C’mon, tolerate us.

“dear maine, you suck too“—Eloquent

“I’m so mad at 53% of Maine today, and at the far right for working SO HARD at being bigots. Your foaming-at-the-mouth propaganda caused this” —Foaming? Look in the mirror, sweetheart.

I could do this all day, but I’m going to Kos now to poke them with a stick.

No Drama, Obama

I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the West Wing right now. Rahm raging through the halls slamming doors and reaching far down into his lexicon of colorful expressions while terrified aides wish themselves invisible…Gibbs in front of his bathroom mirror rehearsing his lines…

• “No really, Obama didn’t watch the returns last night.”
• “Off-year elections mean nothing”
• “No, I don’t think this sends any sort of a signal about the popularity of Obama’s agenda”
• “This will not affect the way we do business”
• “We have more important things to focus on”
• “Distraction”

While Obama slumps on a rusty piece of gym equipment smoking a ciggie and muttering, “Typical white people.”

Get used to it, baby. There’s a lot more where that came from.

 

UPDATE:

“I don’t think the president is looking at these and believes that they say anything about our future legislative efforts or our future political efforts,” said Mr Gibbs.

I don’t believe that local elections in New Jersey and Virginia portend a lot about legislative success or political success in the future.”

Course not, no worries Gibbsy! Carry on.

Obama Crashes and Burns

In a stupendously humiliating upset for Democrats, the solidly blue state of New Jersey just elected Republican Chris Christie for Governor. Christie didn’t just squeak by, either; he finished with a solid 5% lead. The state went to Obama by 15% last year, so He surely expected His divine support to float Jon Corzine over the finish line quite comfortably. He was so sure of it, in fact, that He made a mere five appearances on Corzine’s behalf.

After his faceplant in Copenhagen in October, he must have figured that he just needed more cowbell.

Obama also threw his support behind Creigh Deeds, who lost to McDonnell in Virginia. I sense a pattern….

Gibbs Lies, Obama Cries

Hours after urging reporters not to draw sweeping conclusions from Tuesday’s gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told POLITICO President Obama wasn’t even keeping an eye on the results.

“He’s not watching returns,” Gibbs said.

Riiiiiiight….

And the Blogosphere Goes Wild!

Even blind, deaf, and recently dead Americans all know by now that the donkey in elephant’s clothing, Dede Scozzafava, has bowed out of the race she didn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hades of winning. The Congressional seat she was confidently preparing to park her double-wide pantsuit in has been held by Republicans since 1871, though by ever-shrinking margins the last few elections. The district went to Obama by five points last year, and the Democrats sat up and took notice.

By an astonishing coincidence that had nothing to do with political gamesmanship, Obama happened to pick the ‘moderate’ Republican who held the seat (John McHugh) to fill a Cabinet position, thereby leaving the seat up for grabs this year. The Republican ‘leadership’ picked a Democrat with an ‘R’ after her name to run against the Democrat with a ‘D’ after his name. The guy who didn’t pretend to be something he wasn’t looked likely swing the district to the blue column, till a masked man on a white horse came galloping into the fray with six-guns blazing. Doug Hoffman was his name, and he was one we had been waiting for…

Both the Democrats swung around to take potshots at him, but little did they know he had a sidekick. Sarah Palin could see the fight from an island in Alaska, and she pointed her finger and yelled, “Bang!”. The stuffed pantsuit dropped like a stone and crawled for the exit, while her male counterpart screamed like a little girl and dove under the nearest ACORN tree.

While he is praying to the gods of the stuffed ballot box, let us take a moment to remember the RINO’s who brought us here today:

The National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman: Pete Sessions

• Newt Gingrich

• Michael Steele

• Dede Scozzafava

May God have mercy on them, for Sarah Palin surely won’t.

Crazy Like a Fox

Karzai Rival Won’t Participate in Runoff Ω

This man is crazy. Like a fox.

After hundreds of thousands of ballots (in a country of five million people) were found to be fraudulent (all in favor of Karzai, oops!), the U. S. and the U.N. look on approvingly while preparations are made to hold the election again, using the same (Karzai-appointed) election officials as the last (fraudulent) election.

While the inmates were busy running the asylum, Dr. Abdullah deftly removed the straight-jacket they attempted to put him in. He simply refused to participate in another round of fraud, thereby stripping them of their aura of legitimacy.

Genius. Sheer…genius.

It’s the perfect solution, guaranteed to throw Karzai and everyone backing that karacul-wearing used camel salesmen into a tizzy. Now they’ll have to either–

A. Pony up millions of dollars to pay for an election only one candidate is participating in, or

B. Cancel the election and leave their favorite sleazy pawn standing alone, reeking with the stench of illegitimacy.

Either way,  they’ve all got egg on their faces. Congratulations, Dr. Abdullah. My karacul is off to you.

Ignore the Man Behind the Curtain

Democrats Want Mis-Matching Signatures Ignored

Out of approximately 150,000 absentee ballot requests received this year, New Jersey county clerks have rejected roughly 2,300 for signatures wildly incompatible with those on file.

The New Jersey Democratic party has written to Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells, asking her to “instruct County Clerks not to deny (vote by mail) applications on the basis of signatures alone.”  They have asked the state to provide provisional ballots for all those voters, presumably to have on hand in case of a narrow lead by Republican Chris Christie. —Why are they so sure all those votes would be for the Democratic incumbent? Do they know something we don’t?

If this request is granted, it will be a significant deviation from established law. Currently, clerks attempt to contact rejected voters by phone or mail to try to reconcile the issue before the election. If the Democrats get their way, signature verification will no longer be a factor in the decision to accept or reject a ballot. —-Why don’t we just skip all this pesky voting stuff, period. It’s just a big hassle and a “distraction”.

Even if county clerks are not able to contact the rejected voters, they’ll still be able to vote in person on Election Day.

Interestingly, the Democrats have never had any issue with rejected absentee ballots before, not even last year when more were requested.  It just so happens that the Democrats were also leading with a wide margin, unlike this year.

Considering that Atlantic City councilman Marty Small (D) and 13 members of his campaign were indicted Thursday on charges of conspiracy to commit election fraud, we can only hope that the people of New Jersey rigorously guard against any impediment to an open and fair election.

Your humble correspondent hopes that Secretary of State Wells turns the Democrats down flat.
