What a Contrast in Conventions!

Posted by Sheila on Tuesday, September 02, 2008 10:23:26 PM
I'm inspired, energized, amazed, and proud to be in the Grand Old Party the GOP!
It's patriotism vs blame America first! It's lifting up vs whinning and put downs. It's hometown vs the elites looking down on the rest of us!
 
It's great to see a party standing for more than it's own interest! The first family -to- be is an example to the elitists in the beltway who do nothing but bad mouth our country. Enough! We are going to win this election come hell or high water!
 
Our country is at stake!

The Politics of Personal Destruction... Alive and Well on the Left.

Posted by Sheila on Tuesday, September 02, 2008 2:18:00 PM
The left  is having a cow over McCain's brilliant choice of Sarah Palin for his running mate. They didn't have a woman who cut the mustard for Obama, and his choice was, well, underwhelming. Biden is basically a crooked leftist, who gets favors, plagiarizes other people's material, but no big deal.
 
Then again, you have a conservative woman who is a success, strong  and personable, who could actually wind up in the White House down the road! What can the left do about that? Not much, so they go after her family. Wow.
 
My prediction is this is going to backfire bigtime. The politics of personal destruction is alive and well on the left, with their surrogates in the media doing the dem's work for them.
 
Did the dems say they want to "end the politics of personal destruction"? Or... did I imagine that?

Did McCain Knock the Wind out of the Obama/Biden Sails?

Posted by Sheila on Friday, August 29, 2008 11:33:52 AM
McCain has managed to pull one on the Media and the Obama/Biden campaign.The Maverick has shocked the world of American politics.
The pick of a woman for VP puts the Media in a difficult position. I've never seen Andrea Mitchell with a loss for words...the announcement of Sarah Palin, a young woman, on the McCain ticket threw her for a loop...she was literally without words!
 
This will be interesting to see. The media didn't say much about Condi putting millions of cracks in the "glass ceiling". Mac has trumped the Obama ticket, and the air is out of their sails...what will the media do now?

Well Barack...Great Teleprompter Reading...Now Let's See You Debate.

Posted by Sheila on Friday, August 29, 2008 1:59:16 AM
Nice job reading your speech. The teleprompter saved you again, unlike the Presidential Forum, where you actually had to do some thinking. Nice setting , nice music, nice plattitudes..."we will march ahead and not turn back! March into the future!"
 
The rock star had a star studded evening. You look good! Great show! Empty suit, empty rhetoric...but sweet.
 
Now it's McCain's turn, and then we will see if you accept a debate or two, and the American people will decide...do they want symbolism or substance.

Worse Than Water Boarding...

Posted by Sheila on Thursday, August 28, 2008 12:17:42 PM
Well, I have come to the conclusion that watching the dem convention is worse than torture...we should use that on the terrorists to get information out of the creeps instead of water boarding...it would be way more effective! Hours of the dem convention...what could be worse?
I cannot figure out what motivates people to sit for hours listening to the leftwing drivel! How exciting is it to hear how awful our country is, how we're not paying enough taxes, how the world hates us, how our image aroung the world is in the tank, how nobody has healthcare, how we need more money for government schools for the "children", how everyone is threatened with AIDS, how global warming is going to burn us alive if we don't give up oil!
 
I've got a headache...

Uh Oh...Is There Buyers Remorse in Denver?

Posted by Sheila on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 11:55:53 PM
Well, Hillary did her due dilligence tonight. She gave her support to Barack. She looked good, sounded good, and I bet her delegates aren't happy. I also have a feeling the people watching out in the hinterland are getting buyer's remorse...how will ol' Barack out do Hill?  She didn't say "uh" once. But, of course, Barack will have the teleprompter, so guess there's no need to worry...
 
Tomorrow we get to see Bill brag about the 90's when he was president, and remind everyone how wonderful it was in the Clinton days.
 
I don't know...I think there's some buyers remorse out there among those who voted for Barack...and there's anger among Hillary's folks. Don't know about the unity thing in the dem party right now. We'll see what happens in the polls...

Michelle Obama's Mixed Messages.

Posted by Sheila on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 9:08:51 PM
Michelle Obama looked really nice giving her speech at the convention. If you didn't know what she had said previously you would think she is a regular flag waving American!
 
The fact that she loves her husband and worries about her kid's future is really nice. That is a great thing, and should be every wife's priority. However, you wonder how it is that someone who worries about their kids future wouldn't mind hanging out with the likes of Rev. Wright and William Ayers! What kind of message does that send to the little ones?
 
Let's face it, Michelle Obama is speaking out of both sides of her mouth, just like her husband. On the one hand she loves her country, on the other hand she's hasn't been proud of her country her whole adult life.
 
Unfortunately we don't know for sure what the Obama's have been teaching their girls, and what they really believe about America. Is it the Rev. Wright's theology of pro-Africa anti-America, where the rich white man has been holding the blacks down? Is it the un-repentant terrorist William Ayer's vision of America, where he wished he had done more damage in the bombing of the Pentagon? Hmmm...I'm confused.

The Dem Dream Team.

Posted by Sheila on Saturday, August 23, 2008 2:25:13 PM
Wow, who would have thought...Obama/Biden... the dems must be proud. Their presidential candidate a community organizer, who can't speak without a teleprompter and  hangs out with anti-America radicals... and the Veep, famous plagiarist with foot in mouth desease.
 
Two men who have left their mark in the world...uh, well, in their neighborhoods, at least...Ob got a sweet deal from a man now in prison on a house he couldn't afford, and Biden, well, his carbon footprint must be quite large...his house looks like a compound around the corner from the Kennedy's. Now there's a team the common man can identify with! Ol' Barack and Joe, the dem dream team!
 
Oh well, life goes on. It's looking good for McCain.

Let's See, Obama is Patriotic.

Posted by Sheila on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 2:52:49 PM
Obama should say "read my lips, I'm patriotic".
 
" I went to a church where my pastor preached pro-African/ anti-American messages and praised Farakan...I was only there twenty years, thus didn't notice he didn't like the country"!
 
"I'm patriotic,  I hung out with a guy who bombed the Pentagon and is a Marxist, but I wasn't aware of his extremist views". "I'm patriotic, I went to Berlin to proclaim I'm a citizen of the world ".
 
The left is always complaining when someone questions their patriotism. Could it be what they say and do, per chance?

Rush, Where Have You Been? This Wasn't McCain's First Good Moment!

Posted by Sheila on Monday, August 18, 2008 2:54:50 PM
McCain has been showing his intelect, sincerity, honesty, knowledge and life experience on the campaign trail, while you've been criticising him, Rush! He allows leftists to ask questions at townhall meetings, answers them directly, with humor and character.Where have you been? McCain is really good talking to people in open forums. He's very down to earth and approachable, but strong.
 
Of all people, Rush, you should have been paying attention! While the media was giving McCain little "clips", as they followed their candidate around the world to Berlin, McCain was knocking them out of the park, and you missed it!
 
Welcome aboard, Rush...you're a little late to the game.

At the Forum, Obama Looked Tired and Worried, McCain Looked Energized.

Posted by Sheila on Sunday, August 17, 2008 1:12:08 PM
The Forum last night was a lesson in contrasts, not only in the candidate's positions and demeanor, but on energy level. I was amazed at the lack of energy from the "young and vibrant" Obama, just back from a vacation in Hawaii, compared to his energized elder, McCain who's been charging away on the campaign trail!
 
The contrasts were huge...the ramblings while searching for a thought from Obama, against the decisive, thoughtful answers from McCain. I had a hard time staying awake for the first hour, but was re-energized when McCain appeared.
 
It was painful to watch the inexperienced child up against the wise war Hero.The contrast of the sleepy child looking like he needed a nap, trying to stay focused, was ironic, considering the left has labeled  McCain too old to run for president.
 
I think Obama needs to go back to Hawaii for another couple of weeks.

Is Radical Liberalism Endangering America?

Posted by Sheila on Monday, August 11, 2008 3:44:34 PM
We are witnessing exactly why the Pelosi/Reid/Obama/moveon.org radical liberalism is endangering America.
 
As Russia shows aggression toward Georgia, talk of dangers to the world supply of oil rears it's ugly head. The radical left's approach to drilling for our own oil is revealing the absolute ignorance of the left. To not drill now is suicidal, because our national security is at stake. The future is completely unpredictable as we are seeing with the developement in Georgia.
 
Without oil, we have no transport for everything critical to maintain life, such as food and medicines for starters, not to mention the need for oil for military use in the protection against aggression, and yet the left wants to convince us that we can live without oi!. The radical left is endagering our country, and this cannot be tolerated. It is time for action to begin drilling for our own oil NOW.

King Obama's Plan for Huge Tax and Government Expansion/ Limitation of Freedom.

Posted by Sheila on Monday, August 04, 2008 12:59:40 PM
The future Obama "sees" for America: Every American being "required" to drive the cars HE wants them to drive,  citizens being "required" to use less energy,  companies being "required" to do what he tells them to do. So much for "we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights"...in Obama's America, our rights will come from the Government's dictates, with him in charge.
 
He asks "Why is that?" that "talking about our energy problems" hasn't materialized into action over the last three decades? Why is that, Mr. Obama... gee, I wonder...could it be the radical environmentalists that have controlled the Democrat party for the last three decades? 
 
He quotes TBoone Pickens saying we are in a problem we can't "drill our way out of", ignoring that TBoone said we need to drill, develop nuclear power, wind, and ALL sources of energy NOW, including ANWAR!
 
Obama's future for America is: Punishing the oil companies that provide oil for our freedom; growing the power of unions; punishing the citizens of this country by eliminating freedom (through higher taxation and government dictates), and in general forcing his socialist demands on the American people from his throne on high.
 
It seems we aren't smart enough to change our own life style to adjust to the changing economy, and American ingenuity isn't enough to develop new sources of energy. Only Government can do it for us. We need a King to lead us.

Nancy Pelosi Flies Out of Wahshington In Her Private Jet While Thumbing Her Nose at the American People.

Posted by Sheila on Friday, August 01, 2008 2:28:30 PM
While Republicans in the House try to get the lights back on to debate the need for domestic drilling, Pelosi (after attempting to shut down the House), is whisked away in her private jet, no doubt, toward one of  her lovely wineries in the gentile hills of Northern California, while we serfs (who pay her salary) continue to call her office to get her to do her job, and remove the moratorium on offshore drilling, and ANWR.
 
This is what we get from the leftist Speaker of the House now in the majority, who is supposed to be doing the people's business.
 
Nancy, pick up your phone! You won't be relaxing much while you are away, because you will be getting a lot of phone calls, and  bad press. Who do you think you are trying to shut down debate on behalf of your employers, the American people?

How About Congress Requesting an Apology From the African Countries Who Sold Their People Into Slavery?

Posted by Sheila on Friday, August 01, 2008 4:19:40 AM
I would like to make a request of  Congress: 
 
First: Stand up and ask for an apology from Africans for selling their brothers and sisters into slavery to nations all over the world, some where slavery still exists today.
 
Second: Challenge all nations that currently practice slavery to free all slaves, and end slavery now.
 
Next, how about an official "thank you" on the floor of the House and Senate for the thousands who sacrificed, and shed their blood in the Civil War to end slavery? Wasn't that enough?  How about a word of praise to Americans who never owned slaves, and spoke out against slavery?
 
How about a word of praise for a country where you can achieve your greatest dream, such as Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States of America, Secretary of State,  Congressman or Congresswoman, Governor,  Mayor,  Police Chief,  lawyer, doctor,  radio talk show host,  TV show host, columnist, journalist, basket ball star, movie star, community planner, whatever you can possibly dream to be...regardless of the color of your skin. 
 
How about the House and the Senate praise Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation?
 
How about a word of praise for  those who peacefully stood for civil rights, and have been role models of character and responsibility in their communities?
 
How about a word of praise for President George W. Bush, who has appointed more blacks and minorities to high positions in his administration than any other president?
 
How about a statement from Congress of love of country, a flag waving moment of gratitude, a hand over the heart moment of  praise to God for having granted them the priviledge to live in a country where people of all colors have risked death to reach her shores.
 
May I be so bold to make that request of the Congress?
