Today seems to be Obama Day as Senators galore line up behind him.
Not only did Barack Obama win Bill Richardson’s convented endorsement last week, but now, Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey has also endorsed him delivering yet another slap in face of the Clinton Cabal who hopes to sweep the Penn Primary. Hillary Clinton is favored in the PA polls as of today, but the Casey endorsement is expected to disrupt that lead significantly.
The endorsement came at a very opportune time for Barack Obama.

In addition to this latest bit of Clinton-scorching news, Senators Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Chris Dodd of Connecticut delivered relatively un-cloaked statements that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race….
From CNN:
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, issued the most unvarnished statement Friday, saying Clinton “has every right, but not a very good reason, to remain a candidate for as long as she wants to.”
Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, who sought the Democratic nomination for president himself but threw his support behind Obama after dropping out of the race in January, expressed a similar sentiment Thursday.
“I mean, if a person wants to stay in the race, stay in the race,” he told the National Journal, a Washington magazine.
“But if you have enough people rallying behind what appears to be the likely choice, and I believe the choice is Barack Obama … then I think you have to step up to the plate and say, ‘Enough is enough.’ We want this to be over with.”
More for Obama, less for Clinton with each passing day.
If she remains in the race that’s fine. It’s her right and she has no chance of winning anyway. Obama will continue to do better and Hillary will continue to fall. It’s what’s being done to the Democratic party in the name of pure selfishness and futility that matters most.
And what’s being done ain’t pretty.

Since so many “Polls” are being used as citation these days, It seems that Hillary’s shortcomings are catching up to her even in states she won on Feb 5th.
California women may be humiliated by her lies and inner ugliness. Or perhaps California Hispanics learned something from Bill Richardson.
Maybe Californians in general have finally wised up.

Regardless, there is a surprisingly clear shift amongst the attitudes of Californians, including those who voted for Hillary in the primary, that may indicate that Barack Obama may be best suited to win California in the November General Election.
From US News and World Report:
On Super Tuesday, Clinton won the Golden State’s primary by a margin of 52-to-43, surprising political experts with her dominance among Latinos, women, and older voters, in particular. Obama seemed to be unable to break through this electoral firewall. But in a new survey of more than 2,000 California voters, released today by the Public Policy Institute of California, an independent research group based in San Francisco, Obama appears to have experienced a significant bump since then. Over a month after voting in the primary, more Democrats here now say they have a positive view of Obama than of Clinton (78 percent to 74 percent)—a shift, experts say, that may be even larger than it appears, since much of Obama’s support in the primary came from independents. Decline-to-state voters, who represent a sizable voting block in California, continue to flock to his campaign (57 percent have a favorable view of Obama, compared with 47 percent for McCain and only 35 percent for Clinton). Overall, more than 6 in 10 voters of all political stripes say they view Obama favorably, compared with 45 percent for Clinton. If the general election were held today, the poll indicates that Obama, not Clinton, would do better here: He polls at 49-to-40 percent over McCain, while Clinton-McCain is a statistical tie (46 percent of voters say they would support Clinton; 43 percent for McCain).
This sounds more like the Liberal Oasis California I know and love. ![]()
It was only a matter of time. When one campaigns on the dark side as Hillary Clinton has done, one will eventually consume one’s self with one’s own delusions. Dark Side may be acceptable in Republican circles, but it’s not in Democratic ones.
With the obvious exceptions amongst the Clinton die-never fringe, the Democratic voters are not in denial about Hillary’s character flaws. She has sunk her own ship with lots of help from the DLC, Billy Boy, and the almost cartoonish rabid feminazis we find on the Net.
Today, much in the way George Bush’s approval ratings slipped from around 90% to around 20%, Hillary Clinton’s greed-driven lust for power, her hostile behavior, and of course her “misspeaks” and other blatant lies have not gone unnoticed by Democrats of all stripes. Her supporters included.
She has lied, scratched, clawed, and bitten her way from “inevitable nominee” to the political graveyard.
Worth a thousand words
From ABC News:
Clinton’s personal approval rating has dipped significantly according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, with 48 percent of Americans holding a negative view of her compared to the 37 percent who hold a positive view. For Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., the ratings are better: 49 percent positive, 32 percent negative.
Fallout over the Bosnia Betty issue? You betcha. ![]()
As WhitesCreek Journal demonstrates, even the Super Delegates are waking up and taking notice of Clinton’s tasteless and demeaning methods…
Clinton tactics turn off some superdelegates
Posted: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 5:55 PM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under: 2008, ClintonFrom NBC/NJ’s Matthew E. Berger
At a time when Sen. Hillary Clinton is increasingly relying on superdelegates to vault her to the Democratic Party’s nomination, a handful of undecided and pledged superdelegates are coming forward to say her campaign’s tactics in recent weeks are doing more harm than good.
The Democratic Party insiders say they believe Clinton’s direct attacks against Sen. Barack Obama in recent days are hurting the party and its chances in November, and also say it is showing a calculated, desperate-to-win side of Clinton that they dislike.
“In looking at the manner in which the candidates are campaigning, I think it would be best they focused their attention on the presumptive nominee and showed our party which one is better in campaigning against McCain,” said Garry Shay, a California superdelegate, who announced his support for Clinton.
Unlike some in the party, these superdelegates said they do not believe Clinton should drop out of the race. They said they are committed to the democratic process, and want to allow the states still remaining to cast their ballots. But they acknowledged Obama is the likely nominee and suggested the personal attacks were only hurting the party and its viability.
Democratic voters, many of whom are her supporters, are turning away from what they see as a determent to the party and our future. Super Delegates also are acknowledging the obvious.
Democrats are not stupid, and our women are the smartest in the country. They care about the party and about progressive values. They have a sense of duty to make the nation and the world a better place for their children and our future generations. They will do the right thing.
The handful that won’t? Fuck ‘em. We don’t need their fringe votes. We will acquire enough new voters and returning genuine Liberal voters to offset them and then some.
Barack Obama will be our nominee. John McCain and his party are the enemy. Our duty is clear. The sooner we put this circus of a primary behind us the sooner we can get down to the nitty gritty.

Dear Abbie ![]()

Recently, some filthy rich and perhaps just plain filthy over paid and under worked obsolete has-beens decided that somehow they were important enough to be able to threaten LA PELOSI! into suppressing her view about the Super Delegate situation in the democratic primary.
This is the problem in this nation right now, snobbish shit heads that have more money than they’re worth and fewer brains than they need.
They just don’t get it. Barack Obama has out raised Hillary Clinton by tens of millions and I doubt much of it came from the Sordid 21.
How out of touch and hopelessly naive can millionaires be?
Fuck you clowns. Liberal candidates can raise more money on the internet in a week than you donate in your lifetimes. Take your money and give it to the poor you wretched, arrogant, delusional pricks.
If you think for one second that Nancy Pelosi is going to succumb to your threats you have the wrong lady.
You may be used to buying Hillary, Bill and who knows what other Republican Lite scum, but LA PELOSI! will probably tell you, in decidedly more civil terms, to get stuffed.
You are the problem that the broader picture will encompass. Removing your influence, and that of others like you is where all this is really heading. This goes beyond Hillary and Obama and McBush and the White House. This is about making the Democratic Party a party of the people, not a party of Nobility.
This isn’t Jamestown, there is no queen, you are not Lords and Ladies.
You are assholes, and we know who you are. ![]()
The objective is one American, one vote. One America, not two. Hillary Clinton is not part of the solution to that problem. Nor are you.
Power to the people, motherfuckers.

The “Surge” would never have yielded a goddamn thing if it wasn’t for the Mehdi Militia and the truce brokered with them.
Now, without Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, Iraq is once again plunged into turmoil.
Face it, we’re not in control of anything.
Such calm and serenity

BRING THEM HOME, NOW!
From Reuters:
* Security forces fight Mehdi Army in Basra
* Sadr threatens national “civil revolt”
* Fighting, curfews in southern towns (Adds mortar attack in Basra, fighting in Hilla, curfews in Nassiriya, Diwaniya)
By Aref Mohammed
BASRA, Iraq, March 25 (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces battled the Mehdi Army militia in Basra on Tuesday in a drive to win control of the southern oil city, but violence and unrest spread to Baghdad and other cities.
Police and health workers said at least 12 people were killed in the fighting in districts of central and northern Basra where Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr’s Mehdi Army has a strong presence.
In a statement read out by a senior aide on Tuesday, Sadr called on Iraqis to stage sit-ins all over Iraq and said he would declare a “civil revolt” if attacks by U.S. and Iraqi security forces continued. He also threatened a “third step", but said it was too early to announce what it would be.
Columns of black smoke rose above Basra and explosions and machinegun fire could be heard. Reuters Television pictures showed masked gunmen firing mortars in the street, while others drove around in captured Iraqi army and police vehicles.
Though we do a fairly good job of creating Blog categories here at TN420, every once in a while someone comes along that is so evil, so abnormally deranged that they seem to defy description.
Dick Cheney is Sub Human. There is no better word to describe a cowardly, lying, heretical, morally decomposed scurvy dog of a man.
Given a choice between saving the fucking Snail Darter and Dick Cheney the Darter wins out every time.

As Newscoma conveyed to us this glorious morn, ABC recently interviewed Cheney and surprisingly attempted to grill him (in their traditional pussified fashion) about the toll of the war in Iraq as our casualties continue to mount.
The subsequent cowardice that rolled off Cheney’s forked tongue was shocking even to us. And believe me he has no greater critics.
Below is the interview and a special quote we picked out that caught our attention…
By MARTHA RADDATZ, ELY BROWN and JENNIFER PARKER
March 24, 2008Exclusive: Cheney on US Troops: They Volunteered
Noting the burden placed on military families, the vice president said the biggest burden is carried by President George W. Bush, who made the decision to commit US troops to war, and reminded the public that U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan volunteered for duty.
“I want to start with the milestone today of 4,000 dead in Iraq. Americans. And just what effect do you think it has on the country?” asked ABC News’ White House correspondent, Martha Raddatz, who traveled with the vice president on a nine-day overseas trip to Iraq and other countries in the Middle East.
“It obviously brings home I think for a lot of people the cost that’s involved in the global war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Cheney said in the interview, conducted in Turkey. “It places a special burden obviously on the families, and we recognize, I think — it’s a reminder of the extent to which we are blessed with families who’ve sacrificed as they have.”
“The president carries the biggest burden, obviously,” Cheney said. “He’s the one who has to make the decision to commit young Americans, but we are fortunate to have a group of men and women, the all-volunteer force, who voluntarily put on the uniform and go in harm’s way for the rest of us.”
“The president carries the biggest burden, obviously,” Cheney said.
Bigger than the soldiers and their families?????
This quote is not taken out of context. They were talking about the toll taken on the families of our murdered soldiers. And he said Bush carries the biggest burden.
Fuck that coward and the whore that bore him.
There is not one, not one grain of humanity in Dick Cheney’s diseased, abominable soul.
Such a man can only be categorized in the same facet of humanity as Pol Pot, Adolph Hitler, Edie Amin, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacey and every other piece of subhumanoid vermin that ever slithered across the earth.
The Military Family’s burden is “special", but Bush carries the “biggest” burden?!
Dick Cheney, when God finally sees fit to bless this earth with your demise, we at TN420 sincerely hope that your journey into oblivion is long, slow, and excruciatingly painful.
I’m captainkona, and these are my words.

There’s not much one can say about something like this. Some lies are so vile that even when you don’t like the person telling them, you still feel bad for them. You just shake your head and wonder what it must feel like to be so void of personal dignity…
Briefly, Hillary Clinton, in attempting to build a trumped up foreign policy resume’ unfortunately told a blatant lie about being greeted in Bosnia by “sniper fire” when in fact, she was greeted by a child bearing nothing more dangerous than a poem.
Bullets zinging past her head…Chelsea’s too.

Greeting ceremony, Tuzla military airport, Bosnia, March 25, 1996.
“I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
–Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.
The video speaks for it’s self and MasterSitsu at Daily Kos takes it from there.
This is not the kind of positioning lie that most politicians tell. Those aren’t ok either. But this is the kind of lie that someone tells to deceive others and intentionally create an illusion.
This type of lie, from an adult not to mention a presidential candidate, is inexcusable.
I am by no means Clinton friendly, but this is so pathetic it even makes me feel sorry for her.
UPDATE:
Hillary Clinton said she “misspoke".






Let’s face it. I’ve seen better heads on a cheap draft beer.
It’s sad to see someone who once enjoyed relevance scratch and claw, in the twilight of their career, to remain in some way significant.
Carville is a vile man, both in appearance and manner.
But such is a man that plays both sides of the political field then has the nerve to insult a true blue Democrat like Bill Richardson.
James Carville, one of the Clintons’ closest lapdogs suggested recently that Bill Richardson’s endorsement of Barack Obama was an “Act of Betrayal.” He also said, “Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic.”
Poor Carville, I guess the fact that he won’t have a job in the White House next year is beginning to sink in.
So, like the DLC Republican Lite Pig-fuck that he is, he resorts to attacking a great American and fine human being in frustration. I see his angst, he’s a loser. And a Fugly Loser at that.
I’ve seen that face staring up at me as I was throwing bread crumbs into South Holston Lake.

Carville is the quintessential double agent. Backing Republicans one day then backing Republicrats the next.
Ol’ Fish Face even managed to dredge up a Republican female and actually marry it.
Mary Jo Matalin, a Repig strategist and an assistant to George Bush and a counciler to the most vile traitor in our nation, Dick Cheney.
I understand that one must dance with the Devil from time to time, but to actually lie down and breed with it? Disgusting.
Even worse, there’s a chance that Carville’s wife is guilty of treason in the PlameGate case along with Cheney, Rove, Libby, and others…
Matalin, a colleague of Karl Rove, worked for Vice President Dick Cheney in the White House. She attended meetings of the White House Iraq Group, an internal White House task force convened in August 2002 (seven months before the 2003 Invasion of Iraq). WHIG was charged with the task of convincing the US public of the potential threat of Saddam Hussein’s alleged violations of international law in his refusal to cooperate with United Nations weapons inspectors.
Matalin resigned her responsibilities as of December 31, 2002.[2] Although Matalin left the White House more than six months before the leak that triggered the Valerie Plame scandal, she is reported to have testified before the grand jury of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald[citation needed]. (Notes and records of WHIG meetings were subpoenaed by Fitzgerald in January 2004.)
No wonder Carville has such a cowardly, morally void, wide Yellow Streak down his back. You lie down with Pigs….
Best known for helping Bill Clinton lie his way into the White House in ‘92, Carville has also helped get some genuine Neocon vermin into office as well…
Prior to the Clinton campaign, Carville and consulting partner Paul Begala gained other well-known political victories, including the gubernatorial victories of Robert Casey of Pennsylvania in 1986 , and Zell Miller of Georgia in 1990 .
Other well known wastes of air like Prime Minister Tony Blair of the United Kingdom and Zionist Pig, Ehud Barak of Israel’s Labor Party also had Carville’s help doing damage to their countries.
An ugly, nasty, gutless little man, Carville is doomed to spend the last days of his political life watching failure flow from his efforts and bitter fruit form on his vine.
Watching him wither away to nothingness will be a pleasure.
Paparazzi caught Carville before coffee.

First James Carville made the comment that Harold Ford Jr., another DLC bitch, should replace Howard Dean as head of the DNC. Now Richardson is like Judas? That must mean Carville is comparing Hillary Clinton to Jesus?
Wow, a blaspheming fucktard too huh? The Clinton camp is now truly, truly exactly like BushCo. No different whatsoever. Pro-war, anti-privacy, Republican ass-sucking sniveling little cowards.
And soon…to be driven out in disgrace before the country and the world, and exposed for the bigoted, Right-Wing filth they really are.
Enjoy it while it lasts, bitch. Because I’ll surely enjoy watching you go down as much as I’ll enjoy watching the other men in your wife’s life, Bush and Cheney, go down. You’re them, just uglier.

It Feels Like Years Since It's Been Here

Thanx for the reminder, Steve.

Bill Richardson is one hell of a man, that’s what makes this one hell of an endorsement.
Not to mention the fact that Clinton, in her arrogance, thought she had the endorsement locked up.
As our friend Sharon Cobb alerted us to earlier tonight, New Mexico Governor, recent Presidential candidate and former member of Bill Clinton’s cabinet, Bill Richardson, has chosen to endorse Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination.
Below is a video of what America is supposed to look like. An abundance of hope and positive energy. All kinds of people from all walks of life uniting behind the most Liberal, most qualified, most respectable candidate we have.
Listen to the “classy” response from James “Carp Mouth” Carville. This is what has destroyed the Clinton campaign, DLC vipers and their venom….
The reaction of some of Mr. Clinton’s allies suggests that might have been a wise decision. “An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton.
“Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic,” Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week.

Come home, Clinton backers. We understand your passion, but deep down inside you know it’s over. It’s over.
You’re not Republicans. You know what the right thing is. Do it, do it now.
We have our candidate, now it’s time to put John McCain in our crosshairs. We have argued enough.
Watch the vid, this is where we’re supposed to be.
One Party on a mission.
Get on the bus, ‘cause it’s the only one going to the show.

The breach of security concerning Barack Obama’s passport records has reached to an Arlington, VA company known as Stanley, Inc.
Smile, Stanley! You’re now public information. ![]()
From MSNBC:
By Jim Popkin and Libby Leist, NBC News
Two of the government contractors who allegedly took a peek at Sen. Barack Obama’s passport records worked for a Virginia-based firm called Stanley, Inc., according to U.S. government officials with knowledge of the State Department passport controversy.
Stanley, Inc., is headquartered in Arlington, Va. The State Department awarded it a contract for $164 million in 2006. The contract called for Stanley to print and mail millions of new U.S. passports. Stanley announced on Monday that it was awarded an additional $570 million contract to “continue support of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs/Passport Services Directorate.”
NBC News contacted a Stanley, Inc., spokeswoman this afternoon, and informed her that two sources had confirmed that employees at her firm were involved with the scandal. The spokeswoman would only comment: “We’ve been directed by the State Department to direct all media calls to them.”
Cool, now who is Stanley? This stuff is kinda like Find Waldo, ya know?
Well, Stanley Inc is a fairly big player. Just another sleazy contractor in the tradition of Blackwater, Halliburton, etc.
And Oh my, a $570 Million Contract to Continue Support of Passport Program. Imagine that…
Over 15-Year History of Providing Passport Services Continues
ARLINGTON, Va., March 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – Stanley, Inc. (NYSE: SXE), a leading provider of systems integration and professional services to the U.S. federal government, today announced that it was awarded a five-year, $570 million contract to continue support of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs/Passport Services Directorate. Services include production, operational and business process support training, procurement, administration and evaluation of critical supplies, and facilities management support at the four Passport Centers and 14 Passport Agencies nationwide along with the Headquarters’ support offices.
Hmmmm, what have we here?….
The company began its relationship with the Department of State in 1992 when it assisted in establishing the National Passport Center in Portsmouth, N.H. Since that time, Stanley has expanded its services to support passport operations at all 18 locations nationwide.
1992? Before or after a Clinton took over the White House? Shortly before?
Getting interesting….
We’d been wondering how, where and when the Traitors of the PNAC would resurface and attempt to reestablish their Zionist, Israel First agenda.
Now, in the form of a new website, new name, and new lies, the PNAC and it’s minions has returned. And like before, the objective is anything but Democratic…
If you are unaware of the Project for a New American Century or PNAC, you can refresh yourself HERE.
In short, the PNAC/"Defense of Democracies” are the people who pushed for war with Iraq and fabricated the evidence that Bush presented to Congress, the American people, our Military and the world.
They are traitors who serve Israel and the Zionist agenda without regard to the lives of innocent people or the laws of civilized nations.
These people own George Bush like a Grinder owns his monkey. They are the primary reason nearly 4000 American service people are dead. They are the reason the war exists.
Headed up this time by long time fellow-PNAC Pig Steve Forbes, the “Foundation for Defense of Democracy’s” Swine List reads like the old PNAC version with a new font.
Richard Perle, Bill Kristol, Frank Gaffney, Adela Zachariades, Jeane Kirkpatrick (now deceased), James Woolsey…they’re all there.
In addition are two new faces that we always knew were part of the problem but not officially affiliated. Two of the most loathsome scum the Democratic Party ever tolerated, “Red” Joe Lieberman and Zell “boy, was I wrong” Miller.
In a release by Democracy For America (The Good Guys), we find the FDD in the process of funding Swift Boat type efforts against Democratic candidates.
I didn’t say any particular candidate, I said Democratic Candidates. Most of them running for the vitally important Senate seats that will be contested this November.
These US Senate contests may well be more important than who wins the White House and the PNAC/FDD are attacking and spreading their filthy lies as we speak.
Donate to Democracy For America and help them overcome these traitors with truth.
At one time, “Defense of Democracies” actually had a bipartisan advisory board which included Democrats Donna Brazille, Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Elliot Engel. Not surprisingly, all three stepped down from their positions as advisers once the misleading attack ads started running.
Here is what Donna Brazille said about Defense of Democracies:
“I strongly condemn their misleading and reckless ad campaign. The organization is using fear mongering for political purposes…” She added that due to the influence of its right-wing funding, Defense of Democracies has “morphed into a radical right wing organization that is doing the dirty work for the Bush administration and Congressional Republicans.”
Her statement was clear:
“I no longer wish to be affiliated with such a group and have asked them to remove my name from the Board.”
Now, what Brazille, Shumer, and Engel were doing associating with known traitors is another matter. But we won’t forget about it.
The Traitors of the PNAC are back with Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller in tow, attacking Democrats and aiding the enemy. They are the worst manner of traitors this country has ever known. They have betrayed our people and have solicited, aided and abetted the murder of our troops and countless innocent Iraqis.
Be aware of these vermin. They are back, and as long as they are, America, Democracy, and all things decent and true are in danger.
They are the enemy of freedom.

Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me….

BREAKING NEWS:
Two State Dept. employees (contracted of course) were caught trying to illegally gain access to Barack Obama’s passport records.
Not much to say because not much is known. We do know this, we can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings because either John McCain or Hillary Clinton is involved. Who the hell else would it be!?!
Fucking LOL! You think someone somewhere is a little worried?!
WP:
Looking at Obama’s File Gets Two Fired
By Glenn Kessler
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, March 21, 2008; Page A02The State Department said last night that it had fired two contract employees and disciplined a third for accessing Sen. Barack Obama’s passport file.
Obama’s presidential campaign immediately called for a “complete investigation.”
State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the employees had individually looked into Obama’s passport file on Jan. 9, Feb. 21 and March 14. To access such a file, the employees must first acknowledge a pledge to keep the information private.
The employees were each caught because of a computer-monitoring system that is triggered when the passport accounts of a “high-profile person” are accessed, he said. The system was put in place after the State Department was embroiled in a scandal involving the access of the passport records of then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton in 1992.
“The State Department has strict policies and controls on access to passport records by government and contract employees,” Casey said.


What a fucking circus.
UPDATE: USA Today
LOL
So now they peeked at everyone’s file (yeah, right) and Condi Rice offers apology for her incompetence and mismanagement.
“None of the employees have been identified.”
Why the fuck not? What company did they work for? Why is Condi Rice a lying sack of shit?
Name the employees and who they work for.
With environmental cleanliness being a major concern for American Democrats and even some Republicans, one has to wonder if Hillary Clinton is on top of such issues. Turns out she’s very much on the wrong side of environmental protection.
Recently, as our friends at WhitesCreek brought to our attention, Hillary Clinton was in West Virginia where she was interviewed by Beth Vorhees of West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
Appalachian Voices Front Porch Blog brings us the lowdown on Hillary’s disgracefully ignorant stance on the tragedy of environmentally devastating mountain top removal mining or MTR. In the interview, Clinton shocked even some of her most ardent supporters with her obvious ignorance on the subject and her blatant unwillingness to put environment before business.
While stammering in Bush like fashion when asked questions she’s not prepared for, Hillary wrongly injected “economy” into the issue when the fact is, MTR has cost many jobs in the mining industry as automation replaces miners. Coal mining jobs are at an all time low.
MTR is one of the worst Eco-disasters America is facing particularly in the Southern states.
As the I Love Mountains organization teaches us, MTR poisons our water supplies, kills and displaces wildlife, and scars the beauty of our natural landscape. All for the greed of a handful of people.
Unfortunately, there is little information on the cumulative impacts of mountaintop removal because the federal agencies that are charged with regulating coal mining have refused to track the overall extent and impacts of mountaintop removal. The one attempt at acomprehensive analysis of MTR by government agencies was presented in a multi-agency Environmental Impact Statement that was completed in 2003. This effort was initiated in the late 90s, but the focus of the EIS was revised after the White House changed hands in 2001. According to the Charleston Gazette:
“When it formally kicked off the project in February 1999, the EPA said the goal was “to consider developing agency policies … to minimize, to the maximum extent practicable the adverse environmental effects” of mountaintop removal. By October 2001, then-Deputy Interior Secretary Steven J. Griles, a former mining industry lobbyist, had ordered the project refocused toward “centralizing and streamlining coal mine permitting.”
Cindy Tibbot, a FWS biologist involved in the EIS process, was one of many agency scientists who expressed outrage about Griles’ directive, stating in an internal memo:
“It’s hard to stay quiet about this when I really believe we’re doing the public and the heart of the Clean Water Act a great disservice.”
Here is an excerpt of the interview. Hillary Clinton, having sat on “environmentally focused committees", shows an ignorance equaled only by the GOP…
I am concerned about it for all the reasons people state, but I think its a difficult question because of the conflict between the economic and environmental trade-off that you have here. I’m not an expert. I don’t know enough to have an independent opinion, but I sure would like people who could be objective, understanding both the economic necessities and environmental damage to come up with some approach that would enable us to retrieve the coal but would enable us to do it in a way that wouldn’t damage the living standards and the other important qualities associated with people living both under the mountaintop and people who are along the streams. You know, maybe there is a way to recover those mountaintops once they have been stripped of the coal. You know, I think we’ve got to look at this from a practical perspective.
1) Why doesn’t Hillary Clinton have enough knowledge to even form an opinion? She’s sat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
2) Why doesn’t Hillary know that local economies have been harmed by MTR, not helped?
3) Recover Mountain tops??
Is she out of her fucking mind? What kind of inept, George Bushian statement is that?! She has sat through hearing after hearing on this issue. Is she outright lying? How could she be so ignorant unless it’s willful and invoked so as not to lose coal industry money?
Environment? We don’t need no stinking environment.
Now, let’s really look into Hillary Clinton’s environmental voting record.
In 2003, Hillary Clinton voted against the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003. A miserably foolish and environmentally unsound vote.
A few positive votes under party pressure and lots of NVs shows Hillary Clinton to be grotesquely apathetic where environmental issues are concerned. As are virtually all corporate whores.
Also, as a point of reference, Hillary Clinton along with the Spineless Senate body, voted to confirm former and now disgraced Republican EPA Chief Christine Whitman. Whitman resigned from Bushit’s cabinet after being found guilty of endangering 9/11 emergency personnel and New Yorkers at large…
In February 2006, a federal judge found Whitman guilty of making “‘misleading statements of safety’ about the air quality near the World Trade Center in the days after the Sept. 11 attack.” The judge further found that Whitman “may have put the public in danger,” according to the New York Times (Julia Preston, “Public Misled on Air Quality After 9/11 Attack, Judge Says,” February 3, 2006).
“The allegations in this case of Whitman’s reassuring and misleading statements of safety after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks are without question conscience-shocking,” said Judge Deborah A. Batts. As early as September 13, 2001, the EPA put out press releases declaring “no significant levels” of asbestos dust, when agency officials knew there were significant hazardous emissions. Judge Batts’ ruling allowed a 2004 class action lawsuit against Whitman and other EPA officials and the entire agency, which was filed on behalf of residents and schoolchildren from downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn, to go forward.
Barack Obama however, has made his view clear. I guess we should be happy that at least one of the Democratic contenders has a stance on the issue at all.
Get out of the race, Hillary. We’re not voting for you. You are one of them.

So here it is, five years of war based on fabricated evidence and motivated by fear and revenge on the Israel side, and ignorance and greed on ours.
Most reasonably intelligent people know that around one million people have died as a result of The Big Lie. Most people who don’t have their heads up their asses know that nearly 4000 Americans have lost their lives and tens of thousands more maimed or otherwise injured.
But how about those who are forgotten? Anyone familiar with the term “Refugee"?
They are millions. Average citizens of various and assorted backgrounds. Christians, Muslims of all walks, Secular peoples. All gone.
Their homes, possessions, loved ones…all gone. Never to be found again.
The humanitarian crises that has arisen from the ashes of the Big Lie is one of the worst in recent history. The misery of the refugees and the burden that has fallen upon neighboring states to care for them has only grown in time and shows signs only of worsening.
As we remember this 5th Anniversary of the single most vile act of international aggression in American history, hopefully we’ll keep in our hearts, minds and prayers those who’s lives and hopes and dreams have been shattered by the evil that men do.
Not far from the Circle of the Iraqis, a traffic roundabout in the teeming Damascus neighborhood of Sitti Zeinab, a boy called out in the twilight the other day for passengers to fill the evening bus to Baghdad. Tables at the Baghdadi Restaurant, a kebab and shwarma joint, are nearly always full.
“We thank God that under the dictatorship, the conditions for us were harsh, and are even harsher now that the Americans are there,” said Abu Jaffar Khazimi, 35, who fled the southern Iraqi city of Najaf with his family in September. “So we have grown used to not needing a lot of luxury.”
Five years later, a hidden crisis: Report of the IRC Commission on Iraqi Refugees
International Rescue CommitteeMarch 18, 2008
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The war that was launched in Iraq five years ago has produced one of the largest humanitarian crises of our time. Yet this crisis is largely hidden from the public and ignored by the international community. More than four million Iraqis of different religions, ethnicities and backgrounds are estimated to be uprooted by horrific violence and death and are in dire need of help. About half have fled to Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and elsewhere in the region.
Because they are not huddled together in a camp or traveling as a group across a windswept plain, these refugees are not receiving the attention and help they deserve from the international community. Much of the reporting about them has been wrong, perpetuating myths that they are wealthy or that the crisis is over and that many are returning to their homes in Iraq. The solutions put forward by major donors have been wholly inadequate. Meanwhile, many of the refugees have been severely traumatized and now lead desperate lives in foreign cities such as Damascus, Amman, Cairo and Beirut.
This report is based on the visit of the International Rescue Committee’s Commission on Iraqi Refugees to Jordan and Syria in February 2008. During our visit, we met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and other senior officials from the governments of Syria, Jordan, Iraq and the United States. We also met with dozens of refugees in Jordan and Syria and with U.N. representatives.
Warning over spiralling Iraq refugee crisis
12:23 on December 07 2006.
The surging violence in Iraq has created what is becoming the biggest refugee crisis in the world, a humanitarian group said today.A report (pdf) by Washington-based Refugees International said an influx of Iraqis threatened to overwhelm other Middle Eastern countries, particularly Syria, Jordon and Lebanon.
Last month, the UN estimated that 100,000 people were fleeing the country each month, with the number of Iraqis now living in other Arab countries standing at 1.8 million.
Today’s report came as George Bush and Tony Blair were due to discuss the situation in Iraq, which the bipartisan Iraq Study Group yesterday described as “grave and deteriorating".
Refugees International said the acceleration in the numbers fleeing Iraq meant it could soon overtake the refugee crisis in Darfur.
“We’re not saying it’s the largest [refugee crisis], but it’s quickly becoming the largest,” spokeswoman Kristele Younes said. “The numbers are very, very scary.”
Millions of displaced, disaffected, disenfranchised, ah fuck…just plain dissed.
What has the “surge” done for them? What has anyone really done other than forget them?
Five years of blood, five years of sorrow, five years of lies…
Five Years, stuck on our eyes….
Special thanx to Blog Swarm for organizing the recognition of the tragedy and for their vigilance on behalf of what is true and right. Thanx to all who participated. Your voice is our sword, never put it away.- captainkona
Wanna Talk Churches and Preachers?
Due to the moronic trend of blaming Barack Obama for words his nutty old preacher spoke.
Let’s take a brief look at Hillary and Bill’s Church for good measure….
Interesting, here’s where the Clinton church explains that they will allow “The Gay” to attend but don’t count on being an officer or anything else official.
The church is historic Foundry UMC in Washington, D.C., which Bill and Hillary Clinton attended during his presidency. Here’s the story, a version of which appeared first in the Dallas-based United Methodist Reporter:
A UMNS Report
By Robin Russell*Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C., has changed its policy to recognize same-sex unions in special ceremonies that fall just short of an official wedding.
Though it is among a handful of United Methodist churches that do so, the action, which became effective Feb. 1, has made headlines in The Washington Post and other newspapers. Foundry was the church attended by President Bill Clinton and his wife, now-U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), when he was in office.
In a pastoral letter to the congregation last November, the Rev. Dean Snyder, senior pastor, announced his plan to begin leading services that “recognize and honor lesbian and gay committed relationships.”
These church services, however, will not be “ceremonies that celebrate homosexual unions,” he wrote, citing the denomination’s Book of Discipline sanction against United Methodist clergy performing such ceremonies. Snyder said that his action reflects “an attempt to be ecclesiastically obedient while at the same time offering pastoral care to our members.”
And from the United Methodist Book of Discipline:
“Since the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching, self-avowed practicing homosexuals* are not to be accepted as candidates, ordained as ministers or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church.”
*Footnote –- “‘Self-avowed practicing homosexual’ is understood to mean that a person openly acknowledges to a bishop, district superintendent, district committee of ordained ministry, board of ordained ministry or clergy session that the person is a practicing homosexual.” (Book of Discipline, Par. 304.3)
bullet “Homosexual persons no less than heterosexual persons are individuals of sacred worth. All persons need the ministry and guidance of the church in their struggles for human fulfillment, as well as the spiritual and emotional care of a fellowship that enables reconciling relationships with God, with others, and with self. Although we do not condone the practice of homosexuality and consider this practice incompatible with Christian teaching, we affirm that God’s grace is available to all. We commit ourselves to be in ministry for and with all persons.” (From “The Nurturing Community,” a section of the church’s Social Principles, Par. 65G).
bullet “The council on shall be responsible for ensuring that no board, agency, committee, commission, or council shall give United Methodist funds to any gay caucus or group, or otherwise use such funds to promote the acceptance of homosexuality. The council shall have the right to stop such expenditures.* This restriction shall not limit the church’s ministry in response to the HIV epidemic.”“*Reference is made to a Judicial Council Decision (491) that authorized the right of an annual conference to use funds to study homophobia and another (592) that gave the General Conference the right to create and fund a study of homosexuality.” (Book of Discipline, Par. 806.12)
bullet “We affirm the sanctity of the marriage covenant that is expressed in love, mutual support, personal commitment, and shared fidelity between a man and a woman…Ceremonies that celebrate homosexual unions shall not be conducted by our ministers and shall not be conducted in our churches.” (From Social Principles, Par. 65C).
Now, I’m not gay but many Democratic voters are. Including many of the misandrious Clinton Femocons.
The following is from the Yid with Lid blog. These people are Zionist pigs and I do not advocate them personally, but to many Jews this is anti-Semitism coming from the Clinton church….
Clinton’s Church Publishes Anti-Israel Books
We have spend lots of time criticizing Senator Obama for not publicly rebuking the Anti-Israel stance of his Church. It would not be fair to make the same demand from the other Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton. Her Church, the United Methodist Church also has a worrisome track record to those who support Israel.
The United Methodist Church has never been a big fan of Israel. Take for example last July, Rev. Randy R. Day, chief executive of the General Board of Global Ministries for the United Methodist Church, issued a statement that said: “Neither the attacks of Hezbollah on Israel or the Israeli military actions in Gaza and Lebanon can be justified from the perspective of international law or sound political policy.”
I’m not pro-Israel, but many Clinton supporters are.
Question is, is it fair to hold the Clintons accountable for the anti-gay, anti-Israel stance of their church? We say No.
Anyone else?
Oh! Almost forgot…
Any of you Right-Wing Republican Fundamentalist Pigs in the McCockroach corner remember this?
Falwell said, “What we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact, God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.”
Robertson replied, “Well, Jerry, that’s my feeling. I think we’ve just seen the antechamber to terror, we haven’t begun to see what they can do to the major population.”
This election cycle is a shit storm of hypocrisy and none of it is coming from Barack Obama.

You gotta love it. The boy can rant.
And as per usual, Keith Olberman is spot on….
This particular “Special Comment” struck me as being as heart felt as any. Personally, I have a problem with Keith trying to give Hillary an open door to walk out of on the race issue, but he has his feelings and I have to respect them. He is a big fan of the Clintons.
Keith goes off on Geraldine Ferraro like he usually goes off on Bush and Cheney, and well he should. In a blistering indictment of the Republican Lite of the Democratic party Keith explains that Ferraro is a disgusting person and always has been. Her racist commentary goes back decades and is largely the kind of rhetoric that reflects ignorance more than racial pride or political hate.
The Comment is not a condemnation of Hillary Clinton, it’s a call to her from someone who presumably is a friend to denounce strongly the hate speech of Ferraro. Something she has not done.
It’s a well earned condemnation of Hillary’s campaign staff which may be the worst excuse for a supporting cast since Men Without Hats made the Safety Dance video.
Don’t get me wrong. I personally believe that Hillary has lost this race on her own demerit, but Keith’s point still has much validity. She has not stood up and asserted with clarity and conviction that the America of the Democratic Dream is no place for petty judgment of others based on anything other than individual merit.
She is simply not reinforcing the hope for tomorrow.
Keith also mentions something I’ve alluded to in many postings both here and on other blogs, there is a pattern of activity and speech that suggests an arrogant, selfish, holier-than-thou attitude about both Clintons and especially their vile staff. Penn, Billy Boy, Terry Mcauliffe, Ferraro…
These people know only politics as usual and any fool can see that this country is tired of exactly that.
The politics of personal destruction don’t work as well as they did before.
So thanx, Keith. Your clarity, as usual, is most refreshing.
Now if you could tell Obama to stuff a sock in his Preacher’s mouth, that would be good too. ![]()

I’m so goddamn mad I can’t even sleep.
Now first, the Hall itself does not handle the inductions. That’s the responsibility of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. An aberration of a committee monopolized by founder Jann Wenner, former foundation director Suzan Evans, and writer Dave Marsh.
These people are fucking losers. The very worst kind.
Frank Zappa had a term for them, “strictly commercial".
These Foundation Fucks wouldn’t know Rock n Roll from Lawrence Welk. Thus is made evident by the fact that a fucking Rap group, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, we’re inducted in ‘97 passing up the The Dave Clark Five who actually received more votes.
Isn’t there enough Rap groups to open their own museum
on Century Blvd. or some shit?
They’re fixing votes and ignoring petitions that bear thousands of signatures.
Just for a headline and some ratings for their lame TV broadcast.
It’s about them and never has been about the music or the artists that made it the greatest musical form ever.
The Sex Pistols, inducted in 2006, refused to attend the ceremony, calling the museum a “piss stain.”
They’re right! It’s a fucking joke in the tradition of the Oscars and Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Now, these fucking assclowns once again scraped the bottom of the barrel to get a headline grabbing, non Rock n Roll act or two into a Hall of Fame in which they could never possibly belong.
John Mellencamp… he fits the mold (that’s being kind) but never should have been inducted with so many deserving groups before him.
Leonard Cohen… This man is a great poet, he just needs to be inducted into the Lounge Singer’s Hall of Fame instead.
The Dave Clark Five… finally. After so many undeserving freak shows before them.
The Ventures… the fact that they’re just now being recognized proves conclusively that the Hall’s Fuck Foundation is incompetent at best.
Then there’s Madonna. FUCKING MADONNA?????!!!!!
That fucking skank couldn’t carry Janis Joplin’s sandals!
This is the last straw. Seeing The Queen of Slop on stage getting inducted is bad enough, seeing her presented by a bitchly, no-talent punk like Justin Timberflake is absolutely sickening. Justin Timberlake?? He shouldn’t even be allowed on the property.
Thank God Iggy Pop showed up long enough to mock Madonna and the event in general. Where’s Courtney Love when you need to see Madonna pelted with makeup compacts and false lashes?
I’d like to see Bo Diddley break a guitar over the head of whoever considered her in the first place.
Rock n Roll Hall of Shame. That’s what you fucking losers are. You’re a disgrace to everything that is truly Rock n Roll.
Where’s Mark Farner? Where’s Rory Gallagher?? Where’s Phil Lynott and the Big Bopper you fucking ingrates?
Stevie Ray Vaughan??
I’ll tell you where they are, getting pushed aside for
Michael Jackson and the fucking BeeGees. That’s where.
Don’t they have a goddamn Disco Hall of Fame for these two bit side show acts?
You fucking wannabes wouldn’t know Rock and Roll if someone shoved it in your asses and set it on fire. And I truly hope someone does exactly that.
One of these days, hopefully, someone who actually knows the meaning of the term Rock n Roll will take over and right all the horrible, horrible wrongs committed by these wastes of fucking air at the Hall of Fame Foundation.
Until then, a joke thou shalt be.
Now pay attention, losers. THIS is Rock n Roll. It has a twelve bar rhythm and sends chills down one’s spine. And don’t you fucking forget it!!!….

The Hidden Clinton Racism: Not So Hidden Any More
Racist overtones have permeated the Democratic Primary since Hillary found herself facing “The Black” in the final two. As we stated early on, The Clinton Cabal will continue to say and do the wrong things….
It wasn’t enough that Bill alluded to The Black Guy’s campaign as a “fantasy". Nor was it enough for Hillary’s campaign to display the reprehensibly arrogant attitude that “Obama should come from ahead and be her VP“.
The Clintonesque racist tendencies become more and more apparent as her campaign continues to fail, and it’s despicable. Almost indescribably villainous, the word “monster” comes quickly to mind.
Monsterous Glow
That’s like the pitcher of a baseball team that’s down fifteen runs looking at the opposing dugout and saying “give up yet?”
Hillary has only tarnished herself further with this kind of asinine rhetoric that basically amounts to Clinton’s way of saying “get your black ass to the back of the bus, Negro".
She’s a disgusting human being. Even more so than we ever thought. All those years she and Billy Boy pandered to blacks for the votes are now very clearly just that, adventures in pandering. Hopefully the few Blacks that don’t seem to get it will wake up a little and realize that between Bill Clinton jailing and disenfranchising more African Americans during his part of the drug war than any president in history, and the obvious racist overtones of His/Her campaign, are a clear indicator of what’s really going on.
Recently, and very disturbingly, certain Femocons in the blogosphere have been dishing out much in the way of racist Obama rhetoric as well.
And today, Geraldine Farraro, a Clinton supporter and the sole reason Democrats lost to Republicans in the 1984 elections, decided to let her vile, FemiNazi, Racist mouth spew and what a tell tale gaff it was…
Ferraro Remarks on Obama Decried
By ANN SANNER – 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — The first female vice presidential candidate and a fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested Democrat Barack Obama only achieved his status in the presidential campaign because he’s black. The Obama campaign called on Clinton Tuesday to denounce the comments.
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position,” Geraldine Ferraro told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, Calif., in an interview published last Friday. “And if he was a woman (of any color) 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.”
Ferraro is a former New York congresswoman and was former Vice President Walter Mondale’s running mate when he was the Democratic presidential nominee in 1984. She has endorsed Clinton and has been a fundraiser for her campaign.
Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said Ferraro should be removed from her position with the Clinton campaign because of her comments.
“The bottom-line is this, when you wink and nod at offensive statements, you’re really sending a signal to your supporters that anything goes,” Axelrod said in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday.
“There’s no other way to send a serious signal that you want to police the tone of this campaign,” he added. “And if you don’t do those things then you are simply adding to the growing compendium of evidence that you really are encouraging that.”
Ferraro also said Obama has it easy because of a “very sexist media.”

Well, damn. Geraldine.
If you weren’t the insignificant asshat you are someone might take you seriously. But thanks for giving us something juicy to ram down Hillary’s throat. 
You killed the Mondale campaign with your misandrious bullshit, it’s only fitting that you kill Hillary’s with your racist pig lyrics.
Keep up the good work, moron-ess.
Now, before we go, let’s double check the math for all those in denial and the intellectually challenged…
Hey, Clinton groupies. Like your BushBot counterparts, you have a problem with math. Now I’m no mathematician, but I think even I can handle this.
1) Obama leads Clinton by 150+ pledged delegates and that number will only increase as Obama gains the Wyoming delegates and those in Mississippi.
2) Out of 750 super delegates, Obama needs only 325 to win the nomination. He has 210. That means he needs 115 more yet Hillary needs at least 180.
It’s over.
So all you war supporting, privacy hating Status Quo lovers out there are keeping this party divided over nothing. You are the ones to blame if McCain ends up President. You and you alone.
You attack the Democratic front runner who has won already, and by doing so, keep the focus off of McCain. The Republicans have been voting Hillary in our Primary just to draw the thing out as long as they can and you’re right there bending over and grabbing your ankles for them.
Idiots.
You call yourselves Democrats? You’re a fucking joke. You’re sabotaging your own party.
Obama will likely be the Democratic Nominee, in spite of the racist, misandrious Hillary Clinton and her brood of Republican Lite vermin.
Bill, Penn, Farrero, others….
Much like BushCo and the Neocons, you will not be forgotten. Your ill will and moral turpitude will remain for all to see.
The very best reasons we have to change the Democratic Party by voting out the has-beens and voting in the new ways.

Wyoming: White People for Obama!
Just a heads up…

Wyoming Caucus:
Barack Obama - 58% W
Hillary Clinton - 41%
Check out Wyoming’s demographics. There’s about a bakers dozen blacks in the whole state.
White men and women rejecting Hillary and her bursting-at-the-seams skeleton closet for new blood and the genuine change that comes with it?
On to Mississippi for some more delegates and ol’ Mo.
Congratulations, Wyoming Democrats. Well done.

Monster? You’re much too kind.
Monsters are at least honest. They know they’re ugly, scary, menacing and repulsive and seldom try to hide it….
Too bad Lewis Carroll isn’t around to see the Clinton campaign. I’m sure he would find much inspiration.
Find the Snark Boojum, Hillary. Please.

Sadly, Samantha Power, a foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama, has chosen to resign (she was not fired and Obama did not suggest she leave) after stating the fact that Hillary Clinton is a “monster” during an interview with the Scottsman, a leading Scot Newspaper.
It’s too bad. None of the Clinton Campaign Pigs that have slandered Barack Obama have stepped down from anything. Even though they’ve lied through their teeth and Ms. Power simply stated what most of us already know. That Hillary Clinton is a “Monster".
Clinton has vigorously supported the carnage that is the Iraq war, couldn’t be bothered to show up and vote to protect personal privacy, has been extremely vicious and personally berating to people around her, and may have physically abused Bill.
Hillary Clinton, as we all have seen very recently (her hypocrisy on NAFTA), can sit right in front of voters, news people and the world and lie, through her teeth, with a smile on her face.
Much of what a “monster” is made of. Is Karl Rove a monster? Of course he is. And all like him should share the label.
We’re sorry to see a capable person like Ms. Power step down for no other reason than speaking truth to hypocrisy.
Lying, Two-Faced, Hypocrite Witch! BUSTED!
Ohhhhh, YES.
After all these years of telling people what a hypocrite Hillary Clinton really is, finally she steps in it right in front of God and everyone.
Up until now, my post Edwards donations have gone exclusively to MoveOn. Now, with this new revelation that should spell the end of Hillary Clinton, I am actually going to give to Obama directly.
You’ve done it now, Hillary. It was only a matter of time.
What would otherwise be a fairly ridiculous thing to even bring up (both candidates are on the wrong side of the trade issue), Hillary Clinton has turned it into a stark essay on being a lying, two-faced hypocrite.
Hillary Clinton was the one playing “wink wink, nudge nudge” with Canada on NAFTA. Not Barack Obama.
She spun it to him, and the fucking idiots that bought into it know who they are.

Barack Obama for President! Because the alternative is pure shit.

Report Questions Clinton NAFTA Position
By ROB GILLIES – 5 hours ago
TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff said someone in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign gave Canada back-channel assurances that her harsh words about the North American Free Trade Agreement were for political show, according to a report by the Canadian Press.
The report comes just days after a Canadian government memo stated Barack Obama’s senior economic adviser told Canadian officials that the Illinois senator’s own comments about NAFTA were for “political positioning.” The release of that memo helped Clinton defeat Obama decisively in Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Ohio, where the trade treaty is unpopular.

Advantage-McCain
This continuum for Hillary accomplishes nothing other than to further delay the party’s unity and delay the attack on McCockroach. Which we should have been doing after Wisconsin when it became clear that she likely could not close the delegate gap…
We’re losing ground to the GOP just because of the Clinton thirst for power, as the party clearly will not unite behind Hillary. The 28 to 13 contest lead that Barack Obama has is fairly solid proof of that.
The fact that the “inevitable nominee” has been campaigning for a year now, against a guy most Americans had never even heard of until he jumped in the race, and finds herself mathematically out of it even after Texas and Ohio, paints a pretty clear picture.
Meanwhile, as we bicker on for no other reason than the Right-Center of the Democratic Party’s unwillingness to open their eyes and the insistence of the groupies, the mal-informed, (and a little outside help form Rush Limbaugh’s fans), John McCain has escaped some potentially damaging scandals and continues to grab headlines and get buried in money and support from the Right.
We have arrived at the point that Hillary’s persistence, though impressive (if not psychotic), is really doing damage to what little chance we have left to try and gain the White House.
Honestly, Obama has little chance of winning in November to begin with barring some fatal error by McCockroach. Hillary has no chance whatsoever of winning in November. McCain could get caught in bed with Monica and Bill and still beat Hillary in the general.
The sooner we get this circus of a Primary over with, the sooner we can concentrate one the real enemy.
The Grand Old Pigs. Remember them? The ones that have murdered our soldiers, scoffed at our constitution, spit on New Orleans, shit on our privacy and ignored the health care needs of our children??
As our friend Steve at WhitesCreek Journal so aptly put it
“…The only win Hillary had was that she didn’t lose ground in the delegate race for the Democratic nomination.”
And Hillary Clinton is still as divisive as ever.
Advantage-McCain
I love those Vermont people, there’s real Liberals up there.
I alway thought of retiring to Hawaii, but Vermont’s looking better all the time…![]()
Today, not only did the great state of Vermont support the Liberal candidate in the Democratic Primary, but they also managed to vote in a resolution that declares George Bush and Dick Cheney guilty of crimes against the Constitution.
This is wonderful in at least two ways:
1) It’s true. Those two traitors have committed countless crimes against the law of the land and treason as well.
2) This may be the most humiliating experience either stooge has been forced to endure at the hands of the Left. And they, of course, deserve much worse.
Now, this is obviously symbolic but it’s just as official. If either traitor enters any of the communities involved, they can be legally arrested.
Just the thought makes me, well….Aroused.
Great job today, Vermont. You have proven to be the class of the Liberal structure in America.

From Reuters:
Vermont towns vote to arrest Bush and Cheney
Wed Mar 5, 2008 2:17am ESTWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Voters in two Vermont towns on Tuesday approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for “crimes against our Constitution,” local media reported.
The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to “extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them.”
Vermont, home to maple syrup and picture-postcard views, is known for its liberal politics.
State lawmakers have passed nonbinding resolutions to end the war in Iraq and impeach Bush and Cheney, and several towns have also passed resolutions of impeachment. None of them have caught on in Washington.
Bush has never visited the state as president, though he has spent vacations at his family compound in nearby Maine.
Roughly 12,000 people live in Brattleboro, located on the Connecticut River in the state’s southeastern corner. Nearby Marlboro has a population of roughly 1,000.

Clinton Doing Better, But Not Nearly Enough.
Hillary has done better than expected in Texas, but Obama has done better than expected in Ohio and Rhode Island while wiping his ass with the Clintonistas in Vermont…
This is just rough analysis, but it’s looking like Clinton will be lucky to pull more than a twelve pledged delegate advantage from all four states. And with Wyoming on Saturday, and Mississippi the following Tuesday (Obama is heavily favored in those two states), Hillary could see any delegational gains she might achieve tonight wiped out as early as next week.

And thus closure has come. Deposing Saddam Hussein succeeded in nothing other than to hand Iraq, arguably the freest Muslim nation on earth under his rule, over to Iran and the Fundamentalist Shiite majority.
George Bush, PNAC traitors, Israel…backfired, didn’t it? And you deserve to look like the floundering idiots you are finally proven to be….
That’s right, Shia Islam. Where they stone females to death for being raped. Yes, Iranian Shiites, who murder children for being homosexual.
In Saddam’s secular Iraq, women could have jobs, drive cars, uncover their heads in public. It was still Muslim, but the more socially tame Sunni/Baathist version.
Nobody was stoned to death for being human in Saddam’s Iraq. At least not by Saddam.
Well, now we find the Iranian President, Amadinthehead or whatever, standing in the spot George Bush always wanted to stand in. The smiling, handshaking, “we built a Democracy” spot next to the Iraqi leader De Jour.
Poor Georgie, no ticker tape parade. The “Axis of Evil” has stolen the spotlight.
Iraqi pResident Jalal Talabani [right] offered Mr Ahmadinejad a warm welcome in Baghdad

But we knew from the beginning that deposing Saddam would lead to the rise of Islamic Fundamentalism in Iraq, didn’t we? Well, some of us did.
I’m reminded of an exchange I had with some Repig idiot that slithered into RRMB about three years ago…
IDIOT:
QUOTE(Reforger @ Nov 25 2005, 04:50 PM)
Goals change. Saddam is overthrown and the mission has changed to supporting the growth of a new democracy.Isn’t the fact that they’ve had free elections and created a constitution a good thing? Would you prefer that the Iranians get control of the whole region?
CAPTAINKONA:
Open your eyes.
THE IRANIANS HAVE CONTROL OF IRAQ. BUSH UNWITTINGLY GAVE IRAQ TO THEM BECAUSE HE’S AN IDIOT.
They have NOT had free elections simply because they can’t prove they did. Keep drinking. A constitution that includes Islamic law is NOT a constitution.
This is what I mean when I say that Righty cannot understand that Theocracy and Democracy cannot co-exist. A set of faith-based rules for all is not Democracy.
So now Iran has it’s claws so firmly embedded in Jalal Talibani’s ass that Amadinthehead can stand there and ridicule George Bush and America right next to, hand in hand with, one of Bush’s handpicked Iraqi “Leaders". And BushCo wasted no time in firing up the complaint department complete with lies about “Iranians killing our troops". Boy, it must really sting. To be George Bush and have the “Axis of Evil” wearing your boots.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hails Iran-Iraq ties
By David Blair, Diplomatic Editor
Last Updated: 2:24am GMT 03/03/2008Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hailed a new era in relations with neighbouring Iraq as he began the first visit by an Iranian leader to Baghdad yesterday.
His presence, intensely controversial among many Iraqis, marks a watershed in relations between the two countries, which fought an eight-year war in the 1980s that left as many as one million dead.

Iraqi president Jalal Talabani [right] offered Mr Ahmadinejad a warm ceremonial welcome in Baghdad“This is a new page in the history of the relations between the two countries,” Mr Ahmadinejad - who fought in the Iran-Iraq war himself - told a joint news conference with Jalal Talabani, the Iraqi president.
“We have the same understanding of things and the two parties are determined to strengthen their political, economic and cultural co-operation,” said the Iranian president….
Welcome to the long awaited, previously foretold, West Iran.
The White House of course, complained vigorously about the Iranian leader’s presence referring to it as “meddling". Funny, but I’ll bet Amadinthehead’s “meddling” causes less death than Bush/Israel’s has.
Depending of course on how many Sunnis, raped women and gay teens the Shiites decide to kill in the streets once we leave.
But why would Bush be so opposed to Iran’s taking over? After all, he had already asked Iran to step in and take over….
From The Boston Globe:
Tehran offers plan for security
By Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | May 29, 2007
WASHINGTON – In the highest-level public talks between the United States and Iran in nearly 30 years, US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker yesterday reached out to his Iranian counterpart for help in improving Iraqi security and asked that Iran stop supplying arms to Iraqi militia groups…
Damn, it’s a good thing Bush was lying about invading Iraq to “create Democracy” and “fight Islamic Terrorism". He’d be looking like a real snapperhead now that Islamic Fundamentalism is the future of Iraq if it were all true.
Now this is where it stands:
Any fool, well, all but a few of them obviously, could see that if Saddam’s secular dictatorship was toppled that Iran and the Shiite legions would take over since Saddam was the only thing keeping them down.
Bush, and all those that supported, rubber stamped, and devised his agenda have failed America and Iraq both in the most miserable of fashions. Nearly 4000 of our troops dead, scores upon scores of Iraqis dead, new generations of Islamic extremism empowered, and Israel’s people now have Iran on their doorstep where they used to enjoy a massive secular buffer.
And there sit our men and women in uniform and the average Iraqi. Used, abused, neglected, maimed, killed, and ignored by both the White House and all too many members of Congress (both parties).
Just to give it all to the “Axis of Evil".
“Mission Accomplished"….For Iran. And the US and their Israeli Zionist allies handed it to them on a silver, no…make that a solid, 24KT Gold platter.
Now, with Bush on his knees, a crazy Fundi guy from Iran running the show, an Embassy in Baghdad that is evidently dysfunctional, and no plan or intention to bring our people home, It seems that only a Democratic President (one that does NOT believe in this war) can get this abject failure of both foreign policy and humanity in control and end the American presence in Iraq.
We can only hope that we, as Americans, will never again sit idly by while a handful of liars, knee-jerk extremists, amoral opportunists, mercenary pigs and Agents of Deception blaze a trail to oblivion-by-way-of-Hell and lead this nation down it.
Time to turn the “Insiders” into Outsiders.
