‘Stache And The Election Day Tea Party

Posted on | September 21, 2010 | Comments Off on ‘Stache And The Election Day Tea Party

by Smitty (h/t The Wolf Files)

John Bolton:

“I joined the Election Day Tea Party project because — perhaps more than any other in my lifetime — the results of this election cycle will determine the future of the United States as the leader of the free world,” said Ambassador John Bolton. “Election Day Tea Party is a great way for people to become involved in a substantial, productive way, no matter where you are in the country.”

Irrespective of the toughness of your local race, e.g. Col. Patrick Murray’s, keep in mind that there will be another election in 2012, and the effort invested now can be built upon later.
In other words, if you sit on yabooty and do nothing, then doom on you.

22-Year-Old ObamaCare Prophecy Video

Blame Stacy for re-tweeting some fragment of Suicidal Tendencies lyrics. Shockingly hip of him. In this 1988 recording of heavy equipment rolling downhill, ST provide a glimpse of what the ObamaCare future may look like:

Note the John Cusack cameo.
Yeah, I owned this on cassette, I think.
Speaking of things that come in cases, one is tempted to snide humor.

Senator Jim DeMint Steps Up To The Plate

Posted on | September 20, 2010 | 18 Comments

by Smitty (via Cubachi)

Nothing says get stuffed, Senator Cornyn quite like a respectable ad buy in favor of a true conservative candidate:

With talk of Jim DeMint, John Bolton, and a thousand other conservative stars for Presidential bids in 2012, the Left may wet itself into a state of collective dehydration.

Knock Knock.
 Who’s There?
Levi.
Levi Who?

Posted on | September 20, 2010 | 83 Comments

Levi Johnston is a total loser who’s never gonna have another chance at anybody half as fine as Bristol Palin!

They’re reporting that Mama Grizzly will be in the studio when Bristol makes her debut performance on “Dancing With the Stars.”

Having had the opportunity to hang out with Todd Palin, I know that he’s tough enough to rip off your arm and beat you to death with the bloody stump.

So I’m not going to make any remarks about Bristol that could be interpreted as disrespectful, OK?

Bristol is only 19 years old and therefore more appropriately of interest to my 17-year-old sons than to any of us old geezers. And I hope the commenters will keep that in mind, as well.

But Levi . . . Dude. What a loser.

DANCING WITH THE STARS: ABC 8 p.m. ET

UPDATE: The Rhetorican: “My Agent’s Better Than Your Agent.”

Bristol did VERY well, thank you very much. She seemed a little bashful, but I think she’ll get better as she gains confidence.

To vote for Bristol, text “VOTE” to 3407.

UPDATE II: You can also vote online by clicking here.

UPDATE III: As might be expected, the AOSHQ Morons had a lot of laughs at the expense of the unfortunate Margaret Cho.

UPDATE IV: Linked by Tim at Left Coast Rebel, and there’s a Memeorandum thread.

Barbara at American Freedom, both a senior friend of this blog and a TweetDeck user, appears to have had a blast.
Her wit and charm made up for a lack of Stacy McCain, fedoras, and pudding. Follow the link to find out how close she got to Governor Rick Perry.
Meanwhile, I’m still broke down in Lewisburg, West Virginia. Any burnt offerings to the car gawdz for prompt completion of the repair would be appreciated.

Jon Hamm Implies Constitution Is Some Kind Of Secret Agenda

Posted on | September 20, 2010 | 26 Comments

by Smitty (via Big Hollywood)

We can’t load-shed these Leftist idiots in Hollyweird quickly enough:

Among the more tedious aspects of the current political crisis is the Left’s systemic unwillingness to confront the fact that they have become exactly the kind on ill-liberal, authoritarian swine they should claim to despise.
Anyone else want to see Jon Hamm in a wig, playing some bitchy member of the British Parliament circa 1774 or so, railing about these obnoxious pamphleteers in the Colonies?
One suspects the role would seem strangely comfortable to the man.
No, Jon, there is abso-effing-lutely nothing secret about the Constitutional source of Tea Party discontent, the righteousness of the Tea Party’s cause, and the doom besetting your shallow, propaganda spewing ilk. You, Maher and both of his regular viewers should just go play bridge, for all you matter.

Could Mattie Fein Become California’s Christine O’Donnell?

Posted on | September 20, 2010 | 26 Comments

I don’t know if Mattie Fein ever dabbled in witchcraft, but she is certainly tired of being dissed by the same Republican establishment types who are running down the Delaware GOP Senate candidate:

Karl Rove’s now-infamous disparagement of Christine O’Donnell has provoked one Republican congressional candidate to go public with her criticisms of GOP leadership.
Mattie Fein, who won a three-way primary and is challenging Democrat Rep. Jane Harman in California’s 36th District, says she has been “snubbed” by National Republican Congressional Committee staff. . . .

As she explained in her guest editorial column last week, the attitude Mattie Fein has encountered among the GOP elite in California is a microcosm of what O’Donnell is facing in Delaware: A go-along-to-get-along idea among GOP leaders who refuse to challenge liberal Democrats head-on. When they can’t hand-pick their favorite “respectable” RINOs, the elite refuse to lift a finger for a Tea Party-backed conservative who actually wins the primary.

Like O’Donnell, Mattie beat the establishment favorite in the CA-36 primary and, now that she’s in the general election campaign, the Republican leadership is AWOL — or maybe even working to protect the Democrat incumbent!

Call the NRCC at 202-479-7000 and tell them to start fighting to win in November!

UPDATE: Dan Riehl has an important related thought:

Let’s face it, Castle’s years of government service made him a multi-millionaire. There’s no real sign that O’Donnell ever rode that gravy train . . . Is she some lunatic, going from witch to devout Christian? Or, is she mostly just your average American with the same noble qualities and some of the faults that the majority of us have?

That is exactly what Mattie Fein has been trying to get across to the GOP establishment types who don’t think she’s got a chance of beating Jane Harman.

Karl Rove, Charles Krauthammer and other establishment-oriented pundits have seriously underestimated the intensity of the wave of populist sentiment that’s going to come crashing ashore in six weeks. This isn’t just about the GOP conservative base. It’s about independent voters who are sick and tired of the Washington elite in both parties.

That’s why a supposedly “flawed” candidate like Christine O’Donnell could beat a 74-year-old lifetime politician like Mike Castle in Delaware and why she’s got a very real chance to beat Chris Coons on Nov. 2. People in the Rove-Krauthammer axis are thinking in terms politics as usual, and they don’t take seriously the voices of Ordinary Americans who for the past 18 months have been saying the same thing over and over to anyone who asks: “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore!”

That’s why they’re willing to overlook whatever “nutty” stuff that Christine O’Donnell may have said or don in her past. She’s taking them seriously and giving voice to their resentments of the elite, and every time some snooty pundit puts her down, it just makes those people all the more resolved to fight.

This also explains why the GOP establishment doesn’t understand that Mattie Fein coud actually beat Jane Harman. The Republican establishment types are sitting around talking to each other’s analyses of the poll numbers instead of listening to what the people are actually saying.

Just like O’Donnell, Mattie Fein doesn’t “fit the mold” of the type of candidate the GOP establishment prefers and they might be right in any other year.

But 2010 is not any other year. It’s a year when the extremist Pelosi/Reid/Obama agenda has wrecked the economy in an attempt to radically alter the American system of government.

This is a year when all bets are off, when there are no “safe” incumbents, and when scrappy underdog “outsider” candidates could win stunning upsets — if only the big-money bastards at GOP HQ would wake up and seize the opportunity.

Six weeks until Election Day and Republicans are 10 points ahead on the generic ballot — and you want to tell me Jane Harman can’t be beat?

I repeat: Call the NRCC at 202-479-7000 and tell them to start fighting to win  — and win big — in November!

Al Franken and Christine O’Donnell on Bill Maher Show? MUST-SEE TV!

Posted on | September 20, 2010 | 26 Comments

You know you gotta watch it:

BTW, another of Maher’s guests on that 1997 show is also now running for Congress: Star Parker in California’s 37th District.

Of course, the obvious question is, why are all these RINO-hugging “experts” telling us that Christine O’Donnell isn’t “electable” as a senator — but Al Franken is?

UPDATE: Transcribed a little of this. Maher begins — where else? — with, “Speaking of sex . . .” He then talks about the Welfare Reform Act of 1996 (signed into law by that notoriously puritanical right-winger, Bill Clinton), and its provision of $250 million for sex education that teaches that “sex outside marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects.”

Now, this is another one of those situations — like Rachel Maddow’s sneer about O’Donnell’s anti-masturbation statements — where liberals think that all they have to do is roll their eyes sarcastically. Any claim about sex that contradicts liberalism, they apparently believe, is self-evidently ludicrous. O’Donnell dared to defend what liberals think is indefensible:

“Morality aside . . . look at it from a health issue. Twelve thousand teenagers a day are contracting sexually transmitted diseases. AIDS is very quickly becoming the number-one killer among teenagers. . . . So, we know how to prevent AIDS. We know how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases: Don’t have sex.”

Star Parker and O’Donnell were in solidarity on this issue, while the white males on the show — Maher, Franken and Ricky Schroeder — were all about “safe sex.” Yet the fact they want to ignore is this: There is no such thing as “safe sex”!

It’s a myth. Short of surgical sterilization, there is no fool-proof method of contraception. All contraceptive methods have what is called a “failure rate,” and even with a contraceptive that is 99% effective, that 1% failure rate can translate to thousands of unwanted pregnancies a year, if hundreds of thousands of people are using that product. And people who think they’re “safe” are obviously more likely to have sex with people with whom they don’t want to make babies.

This is why the widespread acceptance of contraception in American society has gone hand-in-hand with the rise of abortion — more than a million a year for the past 35 years, despite all the sex education, despite TV ads for condoms and birth-control pills, despite everything.

OK, so what about disease? Again, while the use of condoms can reduce the risk of contracting sexually-transmitted diseases, condoms cannot eliminate that risk. And for many STDs — including such serious diseases as herpes, chlamydia and HPV (genital warts) — using a condom may provide little or no protection.

This is simply a fact, and excuse the need for a bit of anatomical detail: Suppose that a woman has a herpes lesion somewhere on her vulva. During intercourse, will a condom cover every part of a man’s penis that might make contact with that lesion? And if everybody’s using condoms, isn’t it likely that a man who has herpes is most likely to develop lesions on the area of his penis (i.e., the base of the shaft) not covered by a condom?

Keep in mind, we’re not talking hypotheticals here. One in six Americans are now infected with genital herpes and — like so many consequences of the “Cultural Revolution” — women and minorities have been affected the worst:

Black women had the highest rate of infection at 48 percent and women were nearly twice likely as men to be infected, according to an analysis by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
About 21 percent of women were infected with genital herpes, compared to only 11.5 percent of men, while 39 percent of blacks were infected compared to about 12 percent for whites, the CDC said.

Are you paying attention? Nearly half of black women in the United States are now infected with this incurable disease.

Thank you, liberal America!

Our sophisticated and enlightened elites can snark and sneer all they want, but the facts are on Christine O’Donnell’s side of the argument.
