Hat Tip: Conservatives 4 Palin

To anyone that missed it.

Obama Campaign slammed Geraldine Ferraro over her similar comments as Reid

Actually Reid's comments were worse. Obama and Team Hope & Change demanded that Ferraro be kicked to the side because of what she said about the Obama campaign:

She told a FOX News interviewer, "I got up and the question was asked, 'Why do you think Barack Obama is in the place he is today" as the party's delegate front-runner?

"I said in large measure, because he is black. I said, Let me also say in 1984 -- and if I have said it once, I have said it 20, 60, 100 times -- in 1984, if my name was Gerard Ferraro instead of Geraldine Ferraro, I would never have been the nominee for vice president," she said.

In her first interview with Daily Breeze, published late last week, Ferraro said, "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

She also said Hillary Clinton had been the victim of a "sexist media."

Obama himself has called the comments "patently absurd."

"I don't think Geraldine Ferraro's comments have any place in our politics or in the Democratic Party. They are divisive," he told the Allentown Morning Call.

"I think anybody who understands the history of this country knows they are patently absurd. And I would expect that the same way those comments don't have a place in my campaign, they shouldn't have a place in Sen. Clinton's, either," he added.

Earlier, Obama's top strategist, David Axelrod, called for Clinton to sever ties with the former New York congresswoman, who serves on her campaign's finance committee.

"When you wink and nod at offensive statements, you're really sending a signal to your supporters that anything goes," Axelrod said.

Axelrod said the comment by Ferraro, coupled with Clinton's "own inexplicable unwillingness" to deny that Obama was a Muslim during a recent interview, was part of "an insidious pattern that needs to be addressed."

President Obama himself is being the ultimate hypocrite. When Harry Reid said the following, Obama forgave him instantly. In fact, Obama took less time to accept Reid's apology than to deal with the fruit-of-kaboom bomber.

Reid's statement:

a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,

At least Ferraro did not speak of a "negro dialect".

It's the People's Seat

What is up with this, Congressman Sensenbrenner?

I received an email from a friend yesterday asking me about this:

Few would argue with the U.S. having a presence at the Copenhagen Climate Summit. But wait until you hear what we found about how many in Congress got all-expense paid trips to Denmark on your dime.

CBS investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports that cameras spotted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the summit. She called the shots on who got to go. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and embattled Chairman of the Tax Committee Charles Rangel were also there.

They were joined by 17 colleagues: Democrats: Waxman, Miller, Markey, Gordon, Levin, Blumenauer, DeGette, Inslee, Ryan, Butterfield, Cleaver, Giffords, and Republicans: Barton, Upton, Moore Capito, Sullivan, Blackburn and Sensenbrenner.

and we paid for his wife to go also?

As a perk, some took spouses, since they could snag an open seat on a military jet or share a room at no extra cost to taxpayers. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was there with her husband. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) was also there with her husband. Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) took his wife, as did Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI). Congressman Barton -- a climate change skeptic -- even brought along his daughter.

Perhaps our conservative friend, Congressman Sensenbrenner paid his own way. That is fine. Still I think we deserve an explanation for why he went and whether or not the Congressman paid for the trip himself.

Republicans/Conservatives are inspired

I have to say, it has been many years since we have seen this kind of inspiration out of Republicans/conservatives.

No matter what happens in the Senate race in Massachusetts, there are impressive signs of life on the right side of the aisle.

Yesterday, the Republican candidate, Scott Brown, held a money bomb fundraiser on the internet. His original goal of $500,000 collected in a internet fundraiser would be very difficult to reach. Especially since Massachusetts is the blue-est of blue states and the idea of actually winning this seat is nearly impossible even under the best circumstances for Republicans.

Defying all liberal logic, the $500,000 goal set the Brown campaign had been reached by early afternoon, so they raised the goal to $750,000. The $750K goal was reached by early evening. From there the Brown campaign just let it ride.

Many a Republican/conservative from around this country donated, even if it was only a few dollars.

Total raised? A staggering $1,303,302.50!

Even in a seat that the Republican should most likely lose, many a conservative rose up to take on the challenge .

This is a sign of new things to come in 2010. Republicans/conservatives are fired up!

Even better the liberal media meme of teapartiers being to extreme has been destroyed. Many a tea party leader has supported Scott Brown, like Michelle Malkin.

Clearly, Scott Brown is not a super conservative. He is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage and pro-RomneyCare. However, Scott Brown is anti-ObamaCare.

Palin signs with Fox News

Yes it is true.

Sarah Palin has signed a deal to contribute to Fox News. No, she is not a talk show host.

The former Alaska governor, whose book, Going Rogue: An American Life, became a bestseller weeks before it was released and remains No. 2 on the New York Times bestseller list, has signed a multi-year deal to offer her political commentary and analysis across all Fox News platforms, including Fox Business Channel, FoxNews.com and Fox News Radio.

She will also participate in special event political programming for Fox Broadcasting.

Can you imagine Sarah interviewing liberals?



Go ahead...Make my day!

Rebecca Kleefisch announces her candidacy for Lt. Governor, kinda

I just received this in my email box. I could not be more excited at this pre-announcement.

It's finally 2010! We truly have the opportunity to make this a "Happy New Year" with big changes in Madison.

When I first introduced myself to you via e-mail, I sent you a link to my video blog, my Youtube Channel called "RebeccaForReal". That's how I'm known on Twitter and Flickr, too. It's because in the world of politics, I think there are too few willing to be just that--real. With me, what you see is what you get: a dose of kitchen table common sense from a marketing contractor/TEA party speaker/political watchdog/mom!

That's probably why I was approached last May to run for Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin. Combine my private sector marketing expertise with our future Republican Governor's public sector success and you have a ticket with broad life experience, and the best CEO and VP of Marketing Wisconsin could get! That's how I see these jobs: while the Governor fixes the business climate of our state as our CEO, we need our Lt. Governor, our Marketing VP, working on the marketing efforts to let job creators know, "Wisconsin is open for business again!"

I'm writing you now to let you know that I have filed my papers to become a Lieutenant Governor candidate. I would love to meet you personally and, if you allow it, speak at your Lincoln/Reagan Day functions or others where you allow candidates to talk. Would you please e-mail me the dates of events like these on your county's calendar?

In the meantime, please continue to look for my new video blogs, released every Thursday on Youtube. When I officially launch my candidacy, the videos will also be available through my website. When that happens, I'll be sure you send you a headshot and a link in case you like to post those on your website or Facebook page.

I can't wait to get to know you and earn your support--and your vote!

Forward,

Rebecca Kleefisch

Money Bomb

Candidate for US Senate Scott Brown in Massachusetts scheduled a money bomb day to raise buckets of money to defeat the liberal. His goal was $500,000. He just passed it and there are still 8 hours left in the day today to raise money.

Keep going conservatives. Keep on contributing.

Imagine if Sarah Palin had said this:

Imagine for a moment if these words had come out of Governor Sarah Palin's mouth about President Obama:

a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,

Can you imagine the explosion?

If Sarah Palin had said this, it would be all over for her. She would be done in politics. Finished! It would have been on the front pages of every single newspaper in the land. Every single Democrat in this country would have been out in front of a camera demanding the Governor Palin apologize. Thousands of articles would be written slamming Governor Palin.

Instead these words did not come Governor Palin's mouth. It came out of the mouth of a staunch liberal, Harry Reid.

Suddenly a massive kum-ba-ya moment has arisen. Liberals are surrounding their fallen comrade in a show of hopey changey unity. President Obama has graciously and benevolently forgiven the sinner, Harry Reid.

Hey liberals, you know this is crap. You know that if this were Sarah Palin, you would have crucified her. Because it was one of your own, you surround them with love and forgiveness.

Some of the liberals are even sniveling about being called hypocrites. You guys drove Trent Lott out by playing politics. Now you snivel because it is happening to you.

How did we get here?

The staggering games being played by the Democrats is not only stunning, but beyond the pale.

We all know that the Democrats in the Senate need all 60 Democrat votes to pass the health care bill that America is firmly against.

One of the 60 votes is in jeopardy right now. After Ted Kennedy's passing, the governor of Massachusetts appointed a Senator so the US Senate still had their 60th vote. Problem was, the state of Massachusetts had changed the law back in 2004. A Senator had to be elected in a special election, not appointed.

Massachusetts had changed the law back in 2004 because they hoped Senator John Kerry would win the election and they did not want the Republican governor to appoint a Republican. So the state of Massachusetts took the power away from the Republican governor.

Basically the Massachusetts legislature changed the rules again so that the Democrats would still get their 60th vote.

Still the special election was forced to move forward because of state law. That election is to take place on January 19th. The Republican in the race is currently surging in the polls. This is a threat to that 60th vote. The Republican has promised to vote against the bill.

Yesterday, the Democrats in Massachusetts have promised they will not seat the new US Senator, if the Republican wins, until after the health care bill has passed. The Democrats will not seat a new Republican Senator until after they get the votes they need.

Boston Herald

Today, a spokesman for Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin, who is overseeing the election but did not respond to a call seeking comment, said certification of the Jan. 19 election by the Governor’s Council would take a while.

“Because it’s a federal election,” spokesman Brian McNiff said. “We’d have to wait 10 days for absentee and military ballots to come in.”

Another source told the Herald that Galvin’s office has said the election won’t be certified until Feb. 20 - well after the president’s address.

Of course, the Democrats had no problem seating the new Congressman from NY 23 when they needed his vote to pass health care in Nancy Pelosi's House.

Amazingly, the Democrats are not even hiding their thuggery.

The Democrats will defy the will of the people and commit any crime necessary to pass this thing.

Yep- we lost more jobs in December

I guess it is official, the jobs reports got worse for the month of December than most professionals thought would happen.

85,000 jobs lost- unemployment stays at 10.0%

This was the sickening part of the jobs report:

For the whole of 2009, the economy shed 4.2 million jobs, the department said

Job loss totals since Obama became President and we were promised that unemployment would not go above 8%:

3.6 million

Remember the stimulus was slammed through with the promise that unemployment would not go above 8%. Passing the $787 billion stimulus was supposed to save us.

More job losses?

I thought after last month's November jobs report that we only lost 11,000 jobs, we would actually begin to show jobs growth for the December report. Apparently, that is not going to happen. Apparently we lost more jobs in December than November.

This is getting tiring. I am tired of hearing things are getting better, even as more Americans lose jobs each month.

Snow

I think we got about 9 to 10 inches of snow at my house. I heard Pleasant Prairie got about 12 inches.

All in all, it was not too awful. I was out driving last evening and the roads were not too bad also, as long as you went slow.

Go Sean Duffy

Candidate for Congressman Sean Duffy has a huge mountain to climb versus David Obey, but it is great to see him continue to climb that mountain.

Wall Street Journal

Wisconsin's Mr. Duffy describes it this way: "I'm running because this is the fight of my generation. The prior one fought the Cold War, before that it was World War II. But our fight is becoming one for the principles of free markets and against creeping socialism." He's targeting Mr. Obey for writing the $787 billion stimulus, highlighting Democrats' failed economic program. The DA (who is also a professional lumberjack athlete) is crisscrossing the district to warn about rampant spending, Medicare cuts, higher taxes and overregulation.

But he's also aware that Republicans can only shake a tarnished reputation by embracing a modern, reform agenda. He's been laying out conservative alternatives to government-run health care. He's honest about the coming entitlement bomb. He's proposing a flatter, smarter tax code. In his first fund-raising quarter, he raised $140,000—a record for the district.

Looking for some truth out of Washington, see Congressman Paul Ryan

Tired of the lies and backroom deals out of Washington?

I know I am. I have learned to turn to Congressman Paul Ryan when I am looking for some truth out of Washington.

Congressman Paul Ryan has released his latest newsletter. This link is a total recap of spending in the fiscal year of 2009. This report is easy to ready and understand. However, once you have read it, you just might have a seizure or something. Big government spending is so out of control, you may not like what you see.

Remember this crap on November 2nd, 2010

Transparency?

Yeah, come on Democrats!!! The President's campaign promises on transparency were nothing more than a campaign tool. A false promise made to get elected, nothing more than that.



Even the media is starting to react to the false promise from President Obama:

CBS

Watch CBS News Videos Online

Cafferty on CNN goes so far as to call the President a liar:



H/T Hot Air

President Obama hasn’t even made a token effort to keep his campaign promises of more openness and transparency in government. It was all just another lie that was told in order to get elected. The head of C-SPAN wrote a letter, asked Congress to — quote — “open all the important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings, to electronic media coverage” — unquote. When White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked whether the administration would support televising the negotiations, he refused to answer, instead mumbling something about, well, I haven’t seen the letter.

Byron York from the Washington Examiner shows Robert Gibbs attempting to spin his way out of the clear lie told by President Obama.

If the public wants to know why President Obama didn't keep his pledge to hold televised health-care negotations, they'll have to look for answers elsewhere. The White House isn't talking.

Still, the White House, Reid and Pelosi still push forward, completely cutting the American people out of the process.

Oh for heaven's sake, what is wrong with liberals?

Some cheeseball actually believes that the Republicans planned the Christmas Day bombing just to undermine Obama and see the President fail.



Have some of these liberals gone completely insane?

Whatever

President Obama has said he will not tolerate finger pointing. Unless, of course, you are pointing the finger at the previous administration.

What the President really meant to say is that there will be no finger pointing at him.

Yeah, whatever, Mr. President. Your administration's first reaction to any crisis is to blame the "previous administration" including the Detroit bomber.

It took over three days for Obama to make any kind of public statement on the failed attack in Detroit, but it took less than two hours to react to a statement by former VP Dick Cheney. America knows where this President's priorities are. It is more important to attack political opponents than it is to protect the American people.
