Candidate Criticisms

New strategies are gonna make a debut in NH. Everyone wants to claim the "change" mantle. I will go into that round of crap a little later.


Clinton, the New York senator and former first lady, wound up third in Iowa, and second-place Edwards quickly sought to show her to the sidelines. "People are going to decide between a candidate who is not the candidate of money, not the candidate of the status quo, but somebody who will actually fight for the changes that we need, and it will be between Senator Obama and myself," he said.

"It will be a different race here," vowed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, defeated by Huckabee‘s low-budget campaign in Iowa and now confronting a challenge from Arizona Sen. John McCain in the New Hampshire primary.

There are a few things that we should know and anything that you are told about your candidates needs to be verified....do not let these "people" make your choice for you.

Political Ads

Has anyone noticed the underlying themes ain all the political ads, so far? That is Change, a cute buzz word, immigration, the great Satan of this election cycle and not Bush. The later is rather humorous, we have a President that has run rough shod over the Congress, a democratic Congress, for an entire year, but yet, no one wants to be associated with him. IMO, that is a telling indicator.

The poltical ads have been vicious at times, but are explained as positional ads and then there are the Huckabee ads that are subliminally religious, explained as a mere coincidence. NOT!

It will be fascinating to see how far these politics carry the ad thing as the primary season wears on. I will be watching.

Musharraf’s Political Future Appears Troubled - New York Times

Musharraf’s Political Future Appears Troubled - New York Times: "Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s death raises the specter of prolonged political conflict between Pakistan’s president, Pervez Musharraf, and the country’s opposition, according to Pakistani and American analysts. How he handles the next several days could determine whether nationwide antigovernment protests erupt.

“I see a lot more trouble for Musharraf in the near future,” said Hasan Askari Rizvi, a leading Pakistani political analyst.

Ms. Bhutto’s party, the largest in the country, is now leaderless, and many of its members already blame Mr. Musharraf’s government for her death.

Mr. Musharraf remains deeply unpopular after declaring a state of emergency in November and suppressing Ms. Bhutto and his other political opponents.

Meanwhile, Nawaz Sharif, the country’s other main opposition leader, is scrambling to reorganize his party after years in exile."

D.U.--That Is Depleted Uranium

Spent Uranium used in power production, is being sold and made into weapons by US companies. These weapons have been used in the wars of 1991, 1999,2001 and 2003. These weapons keep on killing after the initial attack. They have been banned by a UN council for that reason, these weapons do not differentiate between friend and foe. By making weapons of DU, the US is effectively dumping its nuke waste on other countries in the name of democracy.

I bring this up because that a recent report has said that Iran gave up its nuke weapon program back in 2003, shortly after the invasion and occupation of its neighbor, Iraq. Now that they are only in search of nuke power, they are more docile than we had been lead to believe. I am pleased that the truth has come out and that the chest thumping of Bush and the Boyz has been silenced.

But the waste from their civilian nuke power plants can be made into a weapon, and these weapons can be sold or given to what the US sees as "bad guys". My point is they may not be in search of a nuke warhead, but they can still make a nuke weapon out of the DU. The gift that keeps on giving long after it is used.

There Is Some Good News

That good news would be that Americans are starting to see the civil disobedience is on the rise. The protests in New Orleans, Native Americans are staring to act--again, anti-war and anti-globalization protests are on the rise. All this should continue and by next election it could be at a historic proportion.

This is good--why? Americans are starting to show that the are trying to reclaim their souls from the pundits that bought years ago. But the problem is will it last? The media will do it can to stem the tide of discontent.

The coming year will illustrate if Americans are reclaiming their very souls or if they will once again let it go for the cheap.

A Proud Momma

I know all have watched the train wreck that has been the meltdown of Britney Spears....you know Mom has got to be questioning her parenting decisions......

But guess what? The 16 yr old sis of Britney, Jaime Lynn, is pregnant.....she and her 19 yr old boyfriend met in church and have been dating for a few months. Now you know Mom has got to be scratchin her ass wondering what happened.

But wait! there is more...Jaime said when she found out she was pregnant she was totally surprised.....thinking...thinking....she has been bumping uglies with a fertile 19 yr old and she is surprised she got pregnant? They grow really stupid in Louisiana. Or maybe since they met in church that would somehow protect her from pregnancy. Or maybe because she is a star, that would somehow protect. Are these people really all this stupid? Was she home schooled? That could explain a lot.

At least Britney was married before she started squirting out babies........Jaime is 16 and pregnant and she will raise the baby in Louisiana.....she should be fairly incognito there where pregnant 16 yr olds is a common occurrence. Now that she has started down the road of bumping uglies with whoever she dates...will she become another train wreck?
