Colorado Right

The House of Erosthenes got me to thinking about what people would consider to be more important in choosing a President. If you were given this list of issues, what three would you consider to be the most important?

• The color of the candidate’s skin
• The shape of the candidate’s genitals
• The way in which a candidate wants to have sex
• The willingness of the candidate to protect court-mandated abortion
• The candidate’s understanding of what a captial gains tax is and the consequences of raising or lowering it
• The candidate’s hatred of their opposing party
• The candidate’s proposals to “take” legitimately earned company profits
• The candidate’s inability to understand how oil is priced in a global market
• The candidate’s understanding of and protection of black racists
• The candidate’s understanding of 9/11 as defined by the Golden Rule
• The candidate’s inability to understand the affect of taxes on the final price paid for products
• The candidate’s proposals for increasing taxes in a down business cycle
• The candidate’s proposals to “talk” to those who want to kill us
• The candidate’s proposals for losing the war on terror
• The candidate’s proposals to repeal the laws of physics in generating “green” energy

And those are the choices for you if you are really a Democrat. Inquiring minds want to know.

From the Pastor’s Page of the church bulletin 10 June 2007 of Trinity United Church of Christ - Rev. Dr. Jerimiah A. Wright, Jr. Senior Pastor:

I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally
to the White Supremacists of South Africa. In
fact, South Africa allowed Israel to test its nuclear
weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The
Israelis were given a blank check: they could test
whenever they desired and did not even have to
ask permission. Both worked on an ethnic bomb
that kills Blacks and Arabs.

Now this is not identified as being written by the Reverend Doctor Wright–it comes from Ali Baghdadi, an Arab-American activist, writer, columnist; worked with several African-American groups on civil and human rights issues since the mid sixties; acted as a Middle East advisor to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad the founder of the Nation of Islam, as well as Minister Louis Farrakhan–but its in his name, isn’t it?

And this is the spiritual adviser to someone who wants to be President of the United States?

I sure wish I could think of good things like these from Frank J:

Now, the most obvious solution is putting them in some sort of cage with weaponry where only one leaves. I don’t think this will work for the Democrats, though, because they won’t think Obama with his saccharine message of hopey change can stand up to the vicious Hillary who has long thirsted for his blood. Instead, they need to compete on a plane Democrats are more familiar with.

How about they are each given a billion dollars in tax money, and whoever spends it all the first wins. They can’t just spend it on military weaponry (and, being Democrats, they wouldn’t want to), and instead have to spend it all on wasteful, counterproductive social programs. That would prove which one of them is the most hardcore Democrat.

Also, they could get a group of foreigners and Obama and Hillary could compete on who could befriend the most. Having foreigners like us is of the utmost concern to Democrats.

Of course, its happening in the area around the Communist Democratic People’s Republic of San Francisco:

Buoyed by Super Tuesday’s record Latino voter turnout, a San Jose State University student group — made up of both legal and illegal residents — is planning a widespread, grass-roots campaign to register voters, especially those who can speak for them at the polls.

“I don’t need to live in the shadows anymore,” said Ruiz, a 24-year-old San Jose State student whose mother brought him from Mexico on a tourist visa when he was a child.

Live in the shadows?  Since when does anybody in California actually have to worry about living in the shadows.  Brought here illegally as a child?  Not a problem.  You can attend a state university (wonder if he’s getting instate tuition rates?  not even a bet - I’m sure he is), you can register people to vote, you can give an interview to a local newspaper.  No one will even come check on your illegal butt.

  It’s unknown how many illegal immigrants pay in-state tuition in California, officials said, because the information isn’t tracked to protect students’ privacy.

Because of their status, the students are not eligible for financial aid, and most must earn tuition — more than $2,000 a semester — on their own.

Ruiz and Cardenas don’t hold their status against their parents, saying their time in the United States has given them opportunities they wouldn’t have had in Mexico.

“You can’t just live in a place and not became a part of it,” Ruiz said. “If I were still in Mexico, I wouldn’t be who I am today.”

Just another example of Mexico dumping its problems on the US.  Otherwise they might have to actually fix their own third-world toilet of a country so they don’t export their own citizens.  But little chance of that happening any time soon.  All our Presidential candidates just want to either turn their backs or actually beckon them to come.

Ah for the ability to creaty pithy little observations like John Howard:

A mass of airheads, walking around chanting “Yes, we can” while saying wacky, cultish things like, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for”?

Right, the Obama campaign.

The difference is that Dean’s campaign imploded before it got off the ground while Obama may be able to get over the hump and then implode, when the campaign starts dealing with ideas and concepts more complicated than you’d see on an episode of Barney & Friends.

PS: What the Obama campaign really is? It’s Howard Dean 2.0.

Probably has something to do with talent.  Well, thanks John for the nice techno-nerd cross reference.  And an exact description of what is happening today with Obambi.

Is Obama actually going to get some real questions?  Looks like handling the press that is not kneeling down in fawning supplication isn’t as much fun:

An exasperated Barack Obama scurried away Monday from the toughest news conference of his campaign, telling reporters who kept shouting questions that he’d spent enough time on the grill.

“Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions,” Obama, looking surprised, told shouting reporters as he fled the room. “We’re running late.”

The first question was about a private talk an Obama economic adviser had with a Canadian official - reportedly saying that the harshness of Obama’s criticisms of the North American Free Trade Agreement was for political show.

Last week, Obama denied an initial media report about the conversation. But after a Canadian government memo surfaced, he acknowledged yesterday there was a conversation.

“When I gave you that information, that was the information that I had at the time,” he said. His camp still disputes the memo’s account of the discussion.

That was the information I had at the time?  Oh come on Bambi - nobody lets a Republican get away with that answer.

The questioning then turned to Obama’s links to ex-fund-raiser Tony Rezko, who went on trial in Chicago Monday on corruption charges. A reporter asserted Obama hadn’t fully answered journalists’ questions on Rezko.

Obama insisted he had - during a past news conference with Chicago media. But another persisted that questions remain unanswered, such as ones about fund-raisers Rezko held for him.

Obama replied, “These requests, I think, can just go on forever. …” He said the “pertinent” information had been provided.

When Obama declared the press conference over, one reporter yelled that he was dodging questions just minutes after claiming he wasn’t.

Oh yes - its all the fault of Hillary Clinton, those questions on Rezko, isn’t it Barry?

clipped from politicalmavens.com Hillary? Broke? Not exactly. But she’s strapped. She was forced to admit today that she loaned her campaign $5 million last month. What is the Clinton personal net worth? Nobody seems to know. Estimates are between $41 and $80 million. Bill is getting multi-million dollar payouts from companies like Yucaipa and InfoUSA. For doing what? Nobody knows. And the Clintons aren’t forced to disclose what he’s doing for all that dough. The left-wing press has been all over Mitt Romney over how much of his own money he’s put into his campaign. I don’t see similar bellyaching over the Clinton contribution. Maybe the media thinks $5 mil is small potatoes. Or maybe it’s OK for the liberal Democrat to contribute from her fortune but not OK for the conservative Republican to contribute from his. She is up against the wall: cash-poor, dead-even in delegates, and facing new contests in Maryland, DC, and Virginia that favor Obama. The hereditary monarch has been forced to wash the floors.

Update:

Of course, its the Clintons so the whole thing is a hoax.  She has money!  Bill has more money than God and he will give it all to her to be President.
