  • Democrats admit dirty trick in NJ campaign

    Remember the other day that the left was calling a “dirty trick” an ad supporting Mark Hoffman that portrayed Dede Scozzafava as the most “progressive” candidate in a three way race in New York’s 23rd district? Well, that’s child play compared to Democrats in New Jersey.

    Apparently, the state Democrats robo-called voters in Somerset County with an anti-Chris Christie message that purportedly came from the third party Christopher Dagget (PolitickerNJ link);

    Before the Democrats owned up to it, Daggett media advisor Bill Hillsman said the call might be a Republican trick to generate a sympathetic newspaper story.

    “Yesterday, Jon Corzine’s party boss Joe Cryan said that ‘No, zero, nada, no,’ when asked if he had anything to do with the robocalls,” said Kevin Roberts, a spokesman for the Republican State Committee. “Today, it’s clear that Cryan is an outright liar. Corzine’s party boss knows what we know – Jon Corzine’s record is so dreadful that they feel a need to try to trick voters into a second term.”

    Yeah, but where’s the “dirty trick” headline?

    ADDED: Meanwhile, in Virginia politics, drunken wife-beater Jim Moran took time out of his latest episode with alcohol to comment on the Republican Party in Virginia (Washington Post link);

    At a get-out-the-vote rally in Fairfax County, Moran said: “I mean, if the Republicans were running in Afghanistan, they’d be running on the Taliban ticket as far as I can see.”

    Moran was talking about Republicans Robert F. McDonnell for governor, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and state Sen. Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, who is running for attorney general. By some accounts, the three represent the most conservative Republican ticket to run in Virginia in many years. Moran’s comments clearly were aimed to motivate Democratic voters to turn out on Tuesday and vote blue.

    Yeah, but it’s Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh who’ve turned politics dirty in the nation.

  • Biden in Watertown

    Joe Biden, one of the Democrat leadership who had a hand in tossing Joe Lieberman from the Democrat Party, chastized Republicans for running Dede Scozzafava out of the race for Congress in New York’s 23rd District this morning, as told by the Washington Times;

    “They may not have any room for moderate views in the Republican Party upstate anymore, but let me assure you: We have room,” said Mr. Biden, said at a pre-Election Day rally for Democrat Bill Owens.

    Yeah, as long as you conform to the daily positions the Democrats adopt. Remember Jane Harmon who Nancy Pelosi denied a chairmanship because Harmon supported President Bush’s war against terrorists? Yeah, they have room.

    Mr. Biden cited the withdrawal of Ms. Scozzafava, a moderate, as proof that Republicans won’t tolerate dissent, describing Mr. Hoffman’s supporters as right-wing extremists. “This has never been a place that has embraced extremism on the left or the right,” he said.

    And how would Joe know that? How many trips has he made over the years to Jefferson and Franklin Counties, NY?

    [Dede Scozzafava’s name] sparked tremendous applause among Owens supporters on Monday here at the North Side Improvement League.

    Duh! She was more liberal than the Democrat, and then endorsed the Democrat, Bill Owens, instead of the conservative candidate, Mark Hoffman. Since it was a rally for Owens, why wouldn’t they applaud?

    Democrats at the rally on Monday decried outside involvement in the election. […] [June O’Neill, vice chair of the New York Democratic Party] added: “Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck — they don’t live here.”

    Um, neither does Joe Biden.

  • ACORN’s continuing resolution

    Remember the big deal Congress made a few months back when they “defunded” ACORN over the child prostitution dust-up? Well, that defunding seems to have been a temporary measure, since Congress needs to vote on a new continuing resolution to keep that ban on Federal money in place after Saturday.

    On top of that, ACORN remains eligible to recieve money through donations to the Combined Federal Campaign. Most of us who’ve been in the military recognize that CFC is a “voluntary” way to donate our money to charities through our Federal payroll deduction. ACORN remains in the catalogue as a choice according to Fox News;

    Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, raised concerns earlier this month over the government’s refusal to omit the ACORN Institute from the campaign. But Personnel Management Director John Berry said in a letter delivered to Grassley that the institute is legally eligible to receive donations through the program.

    So I guess we can count on ACORN to be full participants in the upcoming elections.

  • Obama’s MoveOn proxies target Toyota

    Since Obama can’t bring himself to attack a large employer like Toyota for belonging to the Chamber of Commerce, he’s turned his pawns at MoveOn.org loose on them. On their website, they proclaim;

    Toyota claims to be “green” but supports anti-climate lobbying by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Companies like Apple have quit the Chamber in protest. Now, Toyota owners are urging Toyota to stop opposing clean energy and quit the Chamber of Commerce.

    I’m sure glad I don’t have an Apple to tie me to this nonsense.

    As Joseph Perkins of the Washington Examiner points out, Toyota produces more energy efficient cars than any other car company, yet they find themselves in the sights of the geezers and anti-intellectuals of MoveOn.

    But that’s not good enough for MoveOn.org, which is playing the energy card against Toyota simply to further the political aims its shares with Mr. Obama.

    MoveOn has ordered their minions to photo themselves with the slick MoveOn-mass produced signs paid for with Soros money and they’ve responded like the good little sheep they are with a Flickr set of pictures nearly a thousand strong. I scrolled through the pictures to find a good looking person to grace my front page, but that foolish endeavor resulted in Hugh and his really bad hair piece.

    Of course, these are the same buffoons that were calling for $10/gallon gasoline last year to force a non-existent “clean energy” on the country.

  • Feeling played, Oly?

    Earlier this month, Olympia Snowe, the pretend Republican from Maine caved to Democrat pressure on the healthcare bill while it was in committee because she got assurances from her fellow Democrats that there would be no single-payer (government-paid) option in that bill. She was heralded by the Democrats as a wonderful person – the only thing she really wanted anyway.

    Now, Harry Reid has decided that he won’t honor that pledge to Snowe, not that he ever intended to honor Max Baucus’ promise;

    But Reid and the leadership faced this basic math: There is only one Snowe and there are 60 members of the Democratic caucus. If just a few Democrats abandoned the bill, it would fall short even with Snowe’s support.

    “It’s a zero-sum situation,” said Durbin, who is in charge of counting votes in the Senate. “If we thought that just putting the trigger in meant that we’d end with 61 votes,” he explained, then that’s what leadership would have done.

    So basically, they played Snowe just to get the bill to the floor for a vote by the Democrat caucus. You’d think she’s learn. Of course her milk-toast response is that she’s disappointed. She ought to feel like she was gang-raped, and she ought to say so (Bloomberg link);

    Senator Olympia Snowe said she won’t support the immediate creation of a government-run insurance program and raised the possibility that legislation overhauling the health system won’t be completed this year.

    Yeah, well it doesn’t really matter what she’ll support or won’t now – the damage is done. And the Democrats are gloating;

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has insisted that the House of Representatives will pass a health care reform bill including a public option.

    President Obama is “pleased that the Senate has decided to include a public option for health coverage,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said in a written statement.

    “He supports the public option because it has the potential to play an essential role in holding insurance companies accountable through choice and competition,” Gibbs said.

    But, ya know what? I’ll bet dollars to donuts that she’ll cave and get screwed a couple of more times during this legislative session.

    I know someone who is probably counting his blessings that he didn’t get that job on Snowe’s staff.

  • Zombie takes on media matters

    Our buddy Zombie has come under fire from the leftist Media Matters for exposing the ties to a NAMBLA activist of Ken Jennings, “Safe Schools Czar” for the Obama administration. Zombie’s steely-eyed gaze down the liberal media’s barrels can be found in “Memo to Media Matters: Kevin Jennings knew of Harry Hay’s NAMBLA connections“.

  • More Nobel Prize news

    According to the Associated Press, the Nobel Prize jury commented on the prize they gave to President Obama last week – and it turns out that their reasoning is even more intellectually vacant than we thought;

    “Alfred Nobel wrote that the prize should go to the person who has contributed most to the development of peace in the previous year,” Jagland said. “Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?”

    Since nominations were closed on February 1st, the “previous year” was 2008 – you remember, the year that Obama spent campaigning. The last year in which he wasn’t even President. So his campaign brought peace to the world. So we thought he was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his successful inauguration celebration – and we were wrong.

    Of course, the runner-up for the most questionable award of the year, Eugene Robinson, who won a Pulitzer earlier this year for republishing MoveOn talking points and Obama campaign emails in his Washington Post “opinion” column for eight years wants to know why conservatives hate America;

    The problem for the addlebrained Obama-rejectionists is that the president, as far as they are concerned, couldn’t possibly do anything right, and thus is unworthy of any conceivable recognition. If Obama ended world hunger, they’d accuse him of promoting obesity. If he solved global warming, they’d complain it was getting chilly. If he got Mahmoud Abbas and Binyamin Netanyahu to join him around the campfire in a chorus of “Kumbaya,” the rejectionists would claim that his singing was out of tune.

    Let the rejectionists fulminate and sputter until they wear their vocal cords out. Politically, they’re only bashing themselves. As Republican leaders — except RNC Chairman Michael Steele — are beginning to realize, “I’m With the Taliban Against America” is not likely to be a winning slogan.

    Robinson makes me giggle – this from the man who thought Bush would bring back slavery and throw Robinson in jail for regurgitating DNC platitudes. At some point he has to question why he’s at odds with common sense.

    I thought we were done reporting Nobel Prize dementia, but apparently it will continue.

  • Uh? We lost something?

    OK, so the Olympics are going to Brazil in 2016 – how many of you are going? Me, neither. It’s a coupla sports games – what do I care? But to read the blogs, we’ve lost everything. That pony-tailed bike riding guy says that this is proof that conservatives want America to fail. Huh? We’ve never lost a bid for the Olympics before? The doofuses at Think Progress say; “Mission Accomplished For Conservatives Who Rooted Against America “;

    Always looking for a way to bring down Obama, conservatives not only criticized the President’s 15-hour trip, but also spent this week denegrating Chicago, downplaying the Olympics, and rooting against America.

    They even made a video that “proves” we brought Obama down;

    Apparently the Olympic Committee watches our cable TV news programs.

    From Glen Thrush at Politico;

    Judging from the volume of exultant Tweets and press releases from Republicans today — you’d think they’d won a doubleheader, what with Chicago losing the Olympics and the unemployment numbers rising unexpectedly.

    You know who really lost today? Those folks we’ve sent to Afghanistan. Out of the 15 hours the President spent in Denmark, General McCrystal got 25 minutes with him. Imagine that; all of the time he spent on getting the Olympics brought to Chicago – seven years from now (apparently three years after Obama will be out office if he keeps acting like this) – he spent twenty five minutes with the guy fighting his war for him.

    dicksmith says that’s fine;

    When I was a buck sergeant, I didn’t meet regularly with my Battalion Commander to brief him on my mission. The intermediate leaders did that for me.

    Regardless, this is a good thing:

    Imagine that – VoteVets agreeing with every.single.thing.the.President.does. Um, dicksmith, did your Battalion commander send you to another country to fight a war by yourself? We’re talking about a guy who is trying to convince the President to give our troops more resources. The same President who has spent the last five days talking to people who AREN’T commanders in Afghanistan about those resources.

    All of you folks who are so enamored with the President, listen to yourselves. Seriously.
