To Quote a Great American, Mike Huckabee Acted Stupidly... and Cowardly
It has always happened to young women from good families of means. And when those families had the moral courage to have and support the baby without casting the burden onto the community it has always been considered their own affair by all decent people outside the self-righteous old gossips (Ray Stevens' immortal "Sister Bertha Better-Than-You') Sitting in the "Amen Pew" at the front of the congregation... or ambitious, amoral louts seeking a political advantage. After his behavior in the 2008 primary season, it's quite believable that Huckabee saw this as a clever backhanded swipe (From Portman to Bristol to Palin) at a significant political rival through two innocent young women along the way.
Not only that, it is an act of the most thunderous candy-assery. First off, he lays this garbage on an intelligent, talented young woman who, by the way, can afford to have this child out of wedlock if she wants to with the fruits of her own hard work and give this child everything Huckabee condemns her for out of her own pocket. Now what the hell business is it of any good conservative what Natalie Portman decides to do with her own damned wages? None that I can see.
Then he gets it wrong. Portman was engaged to be married, she and the baby's father are accepting their responsibility. Something lacking in Huckabee's own checkered career.
This is just the latest in a long line of missteps by this incompetent cop-killing cracker who hides his own vanity behind the covers of his Bible and preaches virtue while stabbing his neighbors in the back.
In a smarter country than this one, it would be his last. But since it's this country, let me spell it out in short words for Mike Huckabee and his backers.
Mike Huckabee will never be the President of the United States.
His issues don't matter.
His positions don't matter.
Even his lack of character doesn't matter.
If he runs he will be bathed in the blood of four dead policemen, if not by his rivals in the GOP primaries then by the Democrats in the general election.
Conservatives will not vote for a man who got cops killed because he confused his own pride with God's will.
Independents will not vote for a man who got cops killed for Jesus.
This is not like smoking pot in college, or having slept around before marriage. People are dead because of Mike Huckabee. And that will not go away, so he should.
GOP Congressional Candidate Saves Tenants' Businesses, Dems Call Her Tax Cheat...
Ann Marie Buerkle assumes tenants' tax burden to keep businesses open.
Then her Democratic opponent accuses her of being a tax cheat for THEIR problems.
You Know What to Do.

"The Charade is Over"
Dear Patriot,
The charade is over.
We all knew that my opponent couldn’t hide behind the failed policies of Obama, Pelosi and Reid forever. Even the liberal media led by Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann can't cover up the truth.
Consider this: In 2009, while my opponent was a County Executive, he proposed a 25% property tax increase. Believe it or not, during a time of economic crisis, his plan was to raise taxes on homes and businesses by 25%! It wasn't to cut government, that's for sure.
But he was only getting started. During his tenure as County Executive, my opponent proposed raising property taxes a total of 47%! I can’t even imagine what he’ll do when times are good.
We already knew that my opponent will be a lap dog for Harry Reid. In fact, Harry Reid called my opponent “his pet”. But it appears he doesn't need Reid's influence to support more big government.
Instead of another Obama lap dog, we need real political leaders in Washington that will fight against the Obama, Pelosi and Reid agenda.
It’s obvious that Barack Obama and his cronies think they can just bully my opponent around to do what they say – and by his tax record, he’ll go along with it!
You know who the Democrats won’t push around?
Us.
We will not stand idle while the Democrats try their hardest to raid our hard-earned retirements. We will not sit by and watch Washington liberals give special perks to their cronies. I will not tolerate their liberal policies and I know you won’t either.
Time is running out for us to clean the Democrats out of Washington. You’ve read about my opponent’s tax record. Do we want more tax and spenders this in DC?
This election, our country faces an immense decision. Keep more of the same politics as usual in Washington or truly change the disastrous course our country is currently on.
The financial deadline is on September 30th and we must show the Democrats that we won’t be pushed around. The election is just around the corner and we must finish this campaign strong!
Sincerely,
CHRISTINE
P.S. Our country cannot sustain what the Democrats are doing to it for much longer!

A thought for the year ahead...
We are poised on the brink of a major change in government.
Our leaders currently in power are entertaining themselves with clowns on our dollar and standing to applaud our enemies at the heart of our Republic while the troubles of our country go unaddressed; our leaders poised to resume power, by our sweat and sacrifice, seem uncertain whether they want to behave any differently, or instead spend their resources taking care of their dwindling circle of peers at the expense of the people.
Our wounded and weakened, ignorant, vain, insular, narcissistic and unready President faces a year without the support of his party, an agenda at odds with both reality and the needs of his country, and no tactic to deal with it save reinforcing failure.
Our intellectual and artistic icons are digging themselves deeper into a more extreme and irrelevant ideological pit, becoming shriller and angrier as they realize the mudfooted commoners are not only no longer listening, but mocking them, and finding other voices both new and old to listen to.
Factions and groups that have grown rich at our expense refuse to realize the purse is empty, and demand that last penny that has to be in there somewhere.
And all the while our country's wounds, self-inflicted and inflicted by others, lay open.
It's going to be an interesting year. It will probably, a lot of the time, be a scary and ugly one.
So I offer a thought, from a man who had seen times even worse than these:
Give me, my God, what you still have;
give me what no one asks for,
I do not ask for wealth, nor success,
nor even health.
People ask you so often, God, for all that,
that you cannot have any left.
Give me, my God, what you still have.
Give me what people refuse to accept from you.
I want insecurity and disquietude;
I want turmoil and brawl.
And if you should give them to me,
my God, once and for all,
let me be sure to have them always,
for I will not always
have the courage to ask for them.

Murkowski Concedes — Teabagger Bags AK GOP Nomination
Joe Miller, Tea Party/GOP Candidate for the US Senate
BREAKING NEWS: Cornyn, Sessions, Steele have released a statement: "The people of Alaska and states across the nation are sending the GOP a clear message" and promise to "reinvigorate the party." They then announced a program to court Democratic gay liberation theologists of color for the remaining primaries nationwide and 2012.
Proud Republican Candidate Meg Whitman Endorses Illegal Immigration...
...but only in Spanish:
She's also running Spanish language TV commercials with the same message.
Meanwhile her street teams are attending GOP meetings and handing out English-language fliers touting Whitman's opposition to illegal immigration.
She's not even trying to hide her contempt for the GOP and its voters. Hope she picks up enough latino votes to make up for the ones who are going to stay home...
Coulter, Limbaugh Defend Steele's Comments on Afghanistan...
Here's a thought: Michael Steele was tone-deaf, ill-considered and wrong to adopt the language and tactics of the Democrats, using Afghanistan for cheap political advantage while we have troops on the ground, in contact, in Afghanistan.
Unless, of course, in Michael Steele's world the GOP just isn't all that different from the Democrats...
What Michael Steele did was EXACTLY what the left did to Nixon over Vietnam. The litter wasn't even cleaned up from the inauguration before the war JFK began and LBJ escalated bcame 'Nixon's War' and they dumped everything from Gulf of Tonkin to Tet in his lap. It was wrong then and it's wrong now.
If conservatives want to score points on Afghanistan, what exactly will they say? That Afghanistan is not important enough to warrant the casualties? Then it didn't warrant the casualties we took there under Bush and the GOP. That the war is lost and we should pull out? That we should scale down to 2008 levels and watch Afghanistan crumble around our outposts? Substitute the last helicopter out of Kandahar for the last helicopter out of Bagdhad?
...Look, I hate writing this. I hate even having to approach defending Obama. But it's one thing to condemn Obama's ineptitude and another to assign him personal blame for a national endeavor that predates him. And THAT's what Democrats do, that's what Michael Steele did, and it's wrong. It a boneheaded and frankly hypocritical move that could backfire on the GOP.
Just the kind of move Michael Steele likes.

Heley,Scott in South Carolina Landslide for Tea Party and Conservatives!
Now let me get this straight: Republicans in South Carolina, the slave state, the racist state, the nasty inbred Baptist redneck state,the state that fired the first shot in the Civil War... just selected an Indian woman and an African-American man to be their candidates, while the Democrats voted overwhelmingly for...a felony sex offender.

Ari David Declares Victory Against Apple the Goliath
Apple caves in, reverses censorhip stand:
by Ari David "In a surprise reversal, Apple computer has approved my iphone application and is allowing it to be distributed in the iphone app store. Apple had originally declared portions of the application, which are critical of my opponent, Congressman Henry Waxman, to be defamatory of Waxman and thus, containing inappropriate content. "I always asserted that the material in the app was perfectly appropriate because it was critical of Waxman‘s policy positions and actions he has taken as an elected official. The material critical of Waxman was also important to include in the iphone application in order to illustrate the policy differences between Waxman and myself. "If Apple had continued to reject such material they would have severely compromised my right to free political speech because if political discourse is too controversial to discuss in public online spaces like the app store, where else will such discourse be banned? "It’s nice that Apple decided to do the right thing is this case and I look forward to having everyone download the application which is available for free on itunes. "Here is a link to the app http://appshopper.com/news/ari-david "I hope you enjoy it and share it with everyone you know." Or, in the subtler, more nuanced words of Three Beers Later: | |

Evil Genius Dick Cheney Throws CA GOP Primary to Steve Poizner -- Endorses Meg Whitman!
"You have one more eye. I have nine more fingers. Choose carefully, Republicans..."
I'm not sure what the mechanism behind this decision is, but it works for Poizner any way you can posit it:
Cheney's endorsement is simply bought and paid for: plain old business as usual corrupt politics?
An embittered Cheney sticking a finger in the eye of the party he feels abandoned him., and Meg Whitman is the best way to pay the GOP back?
An act of careless inconsideration, from a man who doesn't have a rep for same?
Or a brilliant piece of counterintuitive strategy from the Evil Schemer Mastermind of theVRWC, who knows just what it will take to ruin Whitman's chances?
John McCain - “Doctors Make Too Much Money” (1984)/John McCain - 'Medicare Cuts...irresponsible...a price Americans should not be asked to pay." (2009)
HT: Take Back Medicine:
"My activism, such as it is, begins with those very words, on the very day they are uttered
The year: 1984. The Reagan Administration is at the helm. I learn that the newly instituted Prospective Payment System(“DRG’s”), which pays hospitals a flat fee based on theadmitting diagnosis of a Medicare patient, irrespective of length of stay or intensity of service, is creating significant problems with respect to proper medical care. A physician tells me he fears a patient died due to these novel cost control measures. I learn of a woman who cannot walk across her hospital room because she has not been provided with the oxygen she requires.
The Maricopa County Medical Journal, Roundup, mentions John McCain, saying he is a “friend” of Medicine.
In my untutored, apolitical, naïve state, I decide to alert this man to a problem I fear he does not - could not - know exists. (After all, I still believe the Government is here to help us.) Learning that McCain will speak at an open public forum at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts, I make my first foray into the public arena. Sitting on the balcony, one of my Medicare patients at my side, I express my concerns about the deteriorating care caused by this novel rationed payment system (for hospitals - NOT doctors) known as DRG’s.
John McCain, 2009 -- “Today I introduced my amendment to address the Democrat’s drastic and dramatic cuts to the Medicare program under their so-called ‘health care reform’ legislation,” said Senator John McCain. “My amendment would send this legislation back to the Finance Committee with instructions to report the bill to the Senate without these irresponsible cuts...Simply put, these Medicare cuts will impacts senior’s access to quality care. This is a price that American’s should not be asked to pay.”
Just say anything, Johnny... we'll never notice the difference.

After I speak my piece, the first words out of McCain’s mouth are these: .
''Out of Control Medical costs are “all doctors’ fault.” ‘Medical care is chewing up a larger and larger percentage of the national budget, hampering our competitiveness as a nation.’ He says ‘we need to solve the problem.’
I rebut, telling him I agree that we have to help control costs, which is why, from my first day in practice, I have told patients who inform me of a financial problem, to “pay what they can afford” of my fee.
The red-faced McCain shrinks one foot on stage. People ask me for my card when the meeting ends. Shocked and surprised by McCain’s unexpected vitriol, I plan a speech to the hospital staff, imploring them not to join the Health Plans that are just beginning to inundate Arizona. My ‘mission’ begins." -- Joseph Scherzer, M.D.
