The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by investigators at a major U.S. research university. The new element has been named Hillarium. The chemical symbol of Hillarium is Bs.
Hillarium has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons.
Hillarium's mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Hillarium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Hillarium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a Critical Morass. When catalyzed with money, Hillarium activates CNNadnausium and MSNBCobnoxium, elements that radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since each has half as many peons but twice as many morons as Hillarium. Hillarium has also been reported in some war torn countries to inexplicably draw sniper fire out of thin air where no snipers are present, and to cause shoes to catapult across the room as a result of intense attraction to Hillarium.
Since it has no electrons, Hillarium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Hillarium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would have normally occurred in less than a second. Paradoxically, in the presence of anti-morons, Hillarium is highly corrosive. The presence of Hillarium is also easily detected using Gagger Counters. When combined with the deadly slick clintonious virus it serves as a catalyst for creating stains on blue dresses. It is also known for impeding the justice process whenever involved in those reactions.
Hillarium appears to have a normal half-life which inexplicably varies between four and six years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a transmutation, appearing in a new location but displaying the same properties. In this process, assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually increases after each transmutation.
Research at other laboratories indicates that Hillarium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings. Heightened levels of toxicity have been detected in the presence of low information voters. A single spontaneous incidence of mass moron emission from the Hillarium element has been documented. The morons were apparently stripped away during the Obala Supernova formation event which, with subsequent isodope formation, collapsed into a particularly small dense black hole.
Scientists point out that Hillarium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction where it is allowed to accumulate. Human mortalities have resulted from exposure to Hillarium. Hillarium threatens to become a pandemic by 2016. Infection symptoms need to be more thoroughly researched, but appear to include a loss of all logical and critical thinking abilities, extensive memory loss related to crucial issues, loss of all consideration for others, onset of paranoia and conspiracy theory predilections (commonly heard are protestations of a "vast right wing conspiracy" and a "War on Women" -- in which ironically Kennedy has the first confirmed kill), and, of course, the already noted tendency towards fatalities.
Generous use of prophylactic doses of Intense Reality® as soon as possible after possible exposure to Hillarium is a prudent and wise precaution. Large doses of Fiscal and Constitutional Conservatism may be particularly useful. Encourage all your friends and family to take similar precautions, and vote for candidates in 2016 who will work to protect us from the possible scourge of a Hillarium pandemic. Some believe that Palinium, or even Cruzite, is an instant cure - but frankly that research assumed non-Gruberian Statistics. Experimental validation is currently underway in nation-wide clinical trials. Attempts are being made to determine how Hillarium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.
Q: Would it be possible for you to address shelf life?
A: Research results are inclusive to date. Recent indications suggest that more significant decay may have occurred than was generally realized, so there is hope for lessened effects in the near future.
Q: Are there any know uses for Hillarium? I've spent quite some time looking and have yet to find any."
A: No useful or beneficial applications of Hillarium have been discovered to date, although a few researchers are determined to find some and continue trying.

Cannot Wait
At last the long national and international nightmare of a the Oblammer presidency is drawing to a close. The American people who bought the Sol Alinsky line - hook line and sinker are at last waking up to send this Chicago thug back to Chicago . We can look at these 4 years as punishment to the us the American people for treating the amazing President Bush so shabbily. It will take a long time to see the value of a statesman like President Bush but Oblammer is so exact opposite in every way I am sure there are people who now realize the lies they believed about Bush were false.
I am going to write a series of differences over a period of time all you Obummer kool-aid drinkers, if you disagree go do research and stop bothering me.
President Bush had a real foreign policy
- with his quiet diplomacy he used to get cooperation has been squandered by this amateurish foreign policy where we call our proud allies "corrupt" to the press and make them our enemies like Karzai, Pakistani' leaders and Iraqi leaders. So now they are openly defying us. Under President Bush they were publicly our best friends and in private President Bush was very tough on them and they appreciated that and they knew he was a leader who did what he said he would do so they cooperated not out of goodness but out of fear.
- Signed a lot of agreements with Israel so they have the latest war equipment so they can protect themselves against Iran.
- Sided with our friends on the missile shield against Russia
- Never would have ignored the pleadings of our Ambassador of Libya and even if he had to upset the Libyans he would have had either special forces or marines to protect our people a and embassies. Never would have treated American lives like they are expendable.
- Would have worked from the back to remove Egyptian leader Mubarak and used our influence to raise up leaders NOT in the Muslim brotherhood . This is what he did with Charles Taylor of Liberia.
-would have picked the phone and talked the the Prime minister of Iraq so that we can have a significant force on the ground just like we do with every place we have liberated , Germany, Japan, South Korea etc... not Iraq is turning to Iran because we have no status of forces agreement and Iraq is afraid . All because this amateur messed
This is just one part of my screed on foreign policy where Oblammer has messed up I will write more soon.

Here is my predication for the Presidential Election 2012 Romney Vs Oblammer.
Romney will win a minimum 40 states. And Romney will be the 45th President of the USA.
I would like to place a bet that the Obama
administration will NOT be held responsible in the leak scandal that has
put those who cooperated with the USA in jail and outed our allies and
made us less safe.
I also predict that Obama and his team will do EVERYTHING absolutely EVERYTHING to get re-elected.
Look
for lies. Look for false racism charges. They may even hire a thug to
pretend to shoot him so he gets the sympathy vote . He wants a second
term, people. Watch out America there is nothing Obama will not do to
stay in the white house another 4 years. Absolutely NOTHING.
Mr. President, first I want to thank you and the First Lady for the gracious hospitality that you've shown me, my wife, and our entire delegation. We have an enduring bond of friendship between our two countries, and I appreciate the opportunity to have this meeting with you after your important speech yesterday.
We share your hope and your vision for the spread of democracy in the Middle East. I appreciate the fact that you reaffirmed once again now, and in our conversation, and in actual deed the commitment to Israel's security. We value your efforts to advance the peace process.
This is something that we want to have accomplished. Israel wants peace. I want peace. What we all want is a peace that will be genuine, that will hold, that will endure. And I think that the - we both agree that a peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle Eastern reality, and that the only peace that will endure is one that is based on reality, on unshakeable facts.
I think for there to be peace, the Palestinians will have to accept some basic realities. The first is that while Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines - because these lines are indefensible; because they don't take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes that have taken place over the last 44 years.
Remember that, before 1967, Israel was all of nine miles wide. It was half the width of the Washington Beltway. And these were not the boundaries of peace; they were the boundaries of repeated wars, because the attack on Israel was so attractive.
So we can't go back to those indefensible lines, and we're going to have to have a long-term military presence along the Jordan. I discussed this with the President and I think that we understand that Israel has certain security requirements that will have to come into place in any deal that we make.
The second is - echoes something the President just said, and that is that Israel cannot negotiate with a Palestinian government that is backed by Hamas. Hamas, as the President said, is a terrorist organization committed to Israel's destruction. It's fired thousands of rockets on our cities, on our children. It's recently fired an anti-tank rocket at a yellow school bus, killing a 16-year-old boy. And Hamas has just attacked you, Mr. President, and the United States for ridding the world of bin Laden.
So Israel obviously cannot be asked to negotiate with a government that is backed by the Palestinian version of al Qaeda.
I think President Abbas has a simple choice. He has to decide if he negotiates or keeps his pact with Hamas, or makes peace with Israel. And I can only express what I said to you just now, that I hope he makes the choice, the right choice, in choosing peace with Israel.
The third reality is that the Palestinian refugee problem will have to be resolved in the context of a Palestinian state, but certainly not in the borders of Israel.
The Arab attack in 1948 on Israel resulted in two refugee problems - Palestinian refugee problem and Jewish refugees, roughly the same number, who were expelled from Arab lands. Now, tiny Israel absorbed the Jewish refugees, but the vast Arab world refused to absorb the Palestinian refugees. Now, 63 years later, the Palestinians come to us and they say to Israel, accept the grandchildren, really, and the great grandchildren of these refugees, thereby wiping out Israel's future as a Jewish state.
So it's not going to happen. Everybody knows it's not going to happen. And I think it's time to tell the Palestinians forthrightly it's not going to happen. The Palestinian refugee problem has to be resolved. It can be resolved, and it will be resolved if the Palestinians choose to do so in a Palestinian state. So that's a real possibility. But it's not going to be resolved within the Jewish state.
The President and I discussed all these issues and I think we may have differences here and there, but I think there's an overall direction that we wish to work together to pursue a real, genuine peace between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors; a peace that is defensible.
Mr. President, you're the - you're the leader of a great people, the American people. And I'm the leader of a much smaller people, the -
PRESIDENT OBAMA: A great people.
PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU: It's a great people, too. It's the ancient nation of Israel. And, you know, we've been around for almost 4,000 years. We've experienced struggle and suffering like no other people. We've gone through expulsions and pogroms and massacres and the murder of millions. But I can say that even at the dearth of - even at the nadir of the valley of death, we never lost hope and we never lost our dream of reestablishing a sovereign state in our ancient homeland, the land of Israel.
And now it falls on my shoulders as the Prime Minister of Israel, at a time of extraordinary instability and uncertainty in the Middle East, to work with you to fashion a peace that will ensure Israel's security and will not jeopardize its survival. I take this responsibility with pride but with great humility, because, as I told you in our conversation, we don't have a lot of margin for error. And because, Mr. President, history will not give the Jewish people another chance.
So in the coming days and weeks and months, I intend to work with you to seek a peace that will address our security concerns, seek a genuine recognition that we wish from our Palestinian neighbors to give a better future for Israel and for the entire region.
And I thank you for the opportunity to exchange our views and to work together for this common end. Thank you, Mr. President.
Technorati Tag: Obama and Netanyahu and Obama and Israel.
Obama still dragging his feet on Afghanistan- another do-nothing democrat in the White House brings back to mind how much the US of A owes President Bush.
Listening to the democ -rats during their 2008 convention should make us look back at the last 8 years just to make sure we are all living on the same universe. Even republicans cannot see the last years for what it really has been. I call the last 8 years "Restoration of the USA". President Bush has spent a lot of the last 8 years cleaning up the mess created by the Clinton 8 years of shallow, characterless and woeful lack of leadership. Lets take a walk down memory lane. War on Terror - Clinton 0 and Al Qaeda - 7 1993 - The first World Trade Center bombing 1995 - Attempted crashing of plane on White House 1995 - Oklahoma City bombing 1996 - Khobar Towers bombing - Saudi Arabia 1998 - U.S. Embassy bombings Kenya/Tanzania 2000 - USS Cole Bombing - Yemen Clinton response - Little or NOTHING
War on Terror - President Bush years - 100 and Al Qaeda - 0 9/11/2001 - Attack on World Trade Center/Pentagon/ President Bush's response - War on terror on a world footing. Taken out Taliban - installed democratic government in Afghanistan Taken out Saddam and Sons.- Installed a democratic government in Iraq Killed or captured countless Al Qaeda.
Clinton Vs Osama Bin Laden http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_bill_clinton_pass_up_a_chance_1.html Osama bin laden was out in the out in the open. And masterminded the 9/11.
President Bush Vs Osama Bin Laden Bin Laden has been hiding in a cave. Sending pathetic messages to show the world he is alive.
- Corporate scandals - Clinton years - These companies were high on the hog Enron Tyco Adelphia Arthur Andersen Global Crossing Imclone World Comm
- Corporate scandals - President Bush years - Above companies exposed and sued
- High Tech Bubble - Clinton years - NASDAQ - was at 5,132 Mar 2000 and fell to 56% to 2912 Jan 2001 A total of 8 trillion dollars of wealth was lost in the crash of 2000!!!
This huge crash created a huge increase in jobless rate dropped from 4.0 to 5.0 that is a loss of over 2 million jobs and then came 9/11 when because of the un-serious Justice Dept. of Clinton the 20 terrorists trained and were able to hit the USA. We know Clinton was busy with stuff under his desk so he was really concentrating on that stuff.
President Bush - cleaned up this crash and there has been steady growth of NASDAQ and even though there are ups and downs there is a sanity in the high tech world. IPOs are based on real companies that are actually doing some thing unlike the Clinton years where easy money IPOs was cheating the public.
The build up of the housing bubble- Clinton years - Freddie Mac and Fannie may were encouraged, nay, forced to give loans to those who could not afford it. And to make sure that the lobby money from Freddie and Fannie went to democrats Clinton sent his own White House Budget Director Franklin Raines to run Fannie and collected $50 million. Jamie Gorelick -- Clinton Justice Department official -- worked for Fannie and took home $26 million. Big Democrat Jim Johnson, recently on Obama's VP search committee, has hauled in millions from his Fannie Mae CEO job.
President Bush - housing bubble burst - has to deal with this mis-management and he has been asking Congress to reform these mortgage giants and got NOTHING from them. This do-nothing congress has more than 200 investigations into President Bush and his admin., none of which have yielded a spot on this great President. They had hearings for hours on end on baseball!! I am not kidding - baseball and zero pm the mortgage crisis. So one more thing for President Bush to clean up.
Oil for food and Saddam Hussein - Clinton years - Saddam was making hay while the Clinton admin. Was turning a blind eye because of the unhealthy relationship that the Clinton admin had with Kofi Annan. And now we know that Marc Rich, the billionaire financier who was awarded a “midnight pardon” in one of President Clinton’s last acts in office, is “a central figure” in the U.N. Oil-for-Food corruption scandal:
President Bush cleaned up the Oil for Food scandal and Saddam was hung his misdeeds.
Kyoto Protocol – Clinton Signed it even though he knew the congress would never pass it. And Kyoto would have been the worst treaty for America. But because of his lack of Kyoto Protocol – President Bush not only rejected the Kyoto Treaty much to the disgust of the Europeans and hate-USA crowd. Now almost everyone agrees it was best for US of A.
Here is an article (not about Obama, but of President Bush!) which lays out a little about the greatest President USA has seen since Abraham Lincoln. This article lays out most of the facts well. Except maybe the gratitude of the software engineers in India who, by and large, are liberal and an ungrateful bunch, and rarely give President Bush any credit for his leadership. And this, in spite of the fact that President Bush promoted "Trade not aid" in most of relations, including that with India.
Perhaps his stellar character and personal faith in Jesus Christ is offensive to people. They like to look down on the USA as a morally degenerate nation, and so they want the President of the USA to be like Bill Clinton - someone they can look down on as a moral degenerate. But that's not President Bush!
I think this article is a good read.
Sept. 11 shaped some of Bush legacy
By: Hugh Hewitt
January 6, 2009 10:42 AM EST
President George W. Bush departs with low approval ratings. Appraisals of presidents sometimes change over time, and sometimes they don’t. Harry Truman was deeply unpopular in his time but is now revered. James Buchanan let the country slide toward civil war and is still considered our worst president. How will Bush’s legacy fare? Politico asked the experts to consider his place in history.
George W. Bush, like Harry Truman, was president when an unexpected attack inflicted a terrible defeat on the United States. Unlike the far-away launch of the Korean War, the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, savaged the heart of Manhattan and came close to crippling the national government in Washington.
Bush quickly rallied the country’s confidence at Yankee Stadium, spoke to its sorrows at the National Cathedral and announced its firm resolve to the world in his address to the Congress. He then directed the takedown of the Taliban and, with it, the support structure and command-and-control capabilities of Al Qaeda, which began the complete overhaul of the national security apparatus of the United States.
This reorientation of America’s defenses toward the long conflict with radical and networked Islamist jihadists has been both remarkable and remarkably successful, and it has been begun in such a way as to avoid obscuring the growing competition with China and the threats posed by rogue states such as North Korea, Libya, Iraq and Iran.
The change from Cold War to no war to the long war ahead is far from complete. “You only get eight years,” Vice President Dick Cheney coolly remarked, conveying that part of a presidential legacy is a mature understanding that you cannot play to win just the matches in which you are captain.
Bush led the world to remove one of its most dangerous (and, thanks to Oil-for-Food, corrupting) dictators, devised a joint containment strategy of the despot of the Far East and completely but quietly disarmed Muammar Khaddafi of his massive stocks of weapons of mass destruction and his A.Q. Khan-supplied nuclear technology in the aftermath of the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
When Iran attempted to exploit the American intervention into Iraq, Bush countered that thrust with the surge, and as he leaves office, that counteroffensive is succeeding. New alliances with the states of the former Soviet Union are deepening as a result of the 43rd president’s strategic direction, especially in Poland and Bulgaria. A genuine missile shield has been deployed, and an archaic treaty that crippled America’s ability to defend itself has dissolved.
Our alliance with Israel is as strong as it has ever been, and our commitment to helping Israel repulse any thrusts by its enemies in Gaza and Lebanon is strong. Lebanon is better off than it was but not as free of Syrian influence as it should be. Hezbollah remains the cat’s paw of the Iranian theocracy, but the world does not doubt its true nature, and clarity is a valuable thing. There is clarity about Hamas, as well, and about many other networked jihadists. Even as Bush prepares to leave office, Israel is relying on the unwavering support of the president in its latest clashes with Hamas.
Bush’s much criticized communications strategy — I am one of the most frequent critics here — pushed key themes again and again. A relentless, though often ineloquent, focus on the evildoers has left no one in doubt about the central challenge of our time, and the Bush Doctrine is one of only three options in dealing with the combination of Islamist fanaticism and operational ability to deliver massive blows to our homeland.
The alternatives — fecklessness and appeasement (eloquent or not, it doesn’t matter) — may return to Washington, but if they do, the consequences will be at least as staggering as those of Sept. 11. Bush’s clarity about not waiting to be struck again and about the need to move decisively against rogue regimes that are believed to possess WMD is a model for future presidents that will be ignored at their and our peril.
Removal of the threat can be by force of arms, as with Iraq, or by force of will, as with Libya, but there is no safe alternative to the Bush Doctrine if the regime is a menace with the means to strike the U.S. directly or through proxies. Bush’s doctrines have defined the choices ahead, and will be used to evaluate his successors’ policies via the jihadists and their ambitions for WMD.
The complete overhaul of the strategic posture of the United States in the seven years since Sept. 11 is half of the central legacy of George Bush. The domestic accomplishments of this center-right president are large and interesting — No Child Left Behind and prescription drug legislation, to name two — and his failures were ambitious and politically significant, Social Security reform and immigration overhaul most prominent among them.
Bush’s grand achievement on the domestic side was the most recent turn of a triple play of tax cuts — John F. Kennedy’s, Ronald Reagan’s and his own — all of which prove the incredible economic wisdom of allowing people to keep more of the money they make. It is unfortunately a lesson that is as quickly unlearned as it is productive when relearned. We are watching its unlearning now. Someone down the road will make it four for four.
The long run of economic growth that ended with the subprime crisis was the product of low marginal tax rates. The bubbles that burst did not destroy that truth any more than their explosions undermined the wisdom of free trade, for which Bush was a tireless campaigner. The appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito will play out over decades and cannot possibly be evaluated now.
The other part of Bush’s central legacy will be the example of the correct temperament of a commander in chief in wartime. Though relentlessly attacked by a domestic left wing deranged by fear or hate, Bush refused the temptation to return in kind the abuse he received. The campaign of 2004 was tough, but there was nothing in it or in Bush’s administration remotely approaching the scale of dirty tricks that marked many episodes in the years from Kennedy through Bill Clinton regarding the treatment of political enemies. Bush’s reserve when it came to political hardball is a standard of crucial significance for the long war ahead.
The Plame affair was a burlesque from start to finish, signifying nothing except the crazed nature of the president’s opponents. Like the charges of “Bush lied, people died” and of Bush-led massive assaults on civil liberties, historians will mock such absurd indictments.
Throughout this political hysteria, Bush stayed calm and governed with an eye toward protecting the whole country, which he did. Whether competent state and local authorities might have prevented the Hurricane Katrina chaos we will never know, but it won’t be more than a relatively small chapter in the histories written about Bush. His refusal to snarl back will be part of that chapter and part of a much larger theme about dignity and grace in the exercise of power.
Estimable temperament has marked Bush’s management of the war, as well — mistakes and all. Like Lincoln, he picked commanders and followed their recommendations until overwhelming evidence of failure could no longer allow him to do so, and then he changed commanders. As with Lincoln, this approach to command led to some defeats on the battlefield. But unlike Lyndon B. Johnson’s meddling, it did not lead to a strategic defeat. Bush’s deep love for the troops he has commanded is obvious; his sorrow for those who have lost a spouse, a child or a parent is profound; and his concern for the wounded has set a standard that should be matched by all future presidents. Bush is deeply loved by the military. In wartime, that is among the most important measures.
Bush’s greatest failing was a surprising one given his skill as a politician. Combined with his two wins as governor and his transformation of Texas politics, Bush won five of six great political battles, including the off-year contests of 2002 — a rare accomplishment. But he could not provide a path for a successor. The success of the surge and the defense of the U.S. homeland against another terrorist attack turned the battle to succeed Bush into one of the strangest campaigns ever, one in which the most important issue — the war — was rarely discussed. Bush’s immediate move to smooth the president-elect’s path to power is a part of his admirable record as an American president with uniquely American traditions to uphold.
No doubt the Internet dervishes will pepper this and other assessments of Bush with their standard displays of anonymous ferocity. There are a lot of 14-year-olds with Internet connections. But when the Jon Meacham of 150 years from now goes about his task with Bush, that historian will have as much material and more, as did the author of “American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House.” And the verdict will be nearly the same: Here was an extraordinary and controversial man who accomplished a great deal, lost many battles, stood by his friends sometimes too long and could be stubborn beyond political calculation but who accomplished his most urgent task of protecting the union against its many enemies. The successful completion of that task is what all great presidents have in common.
Bush’s great legacy is the peaceful transition of power in an age of terror, a legacy made possible by his courage and his resolve to take the battle to our enemies, confront and defeat them wherever they could be found, contain them when they could not be attacked, and demand of the world a seriousness about the threat that remains real and deadly in its intentions. He has modeled how to act as president in this new media age of virulent venom at home and of fanatical violence and hatred abroad — with detachment toward the former and courage toward the latter.
Count me among the 30 percent, which will soon be 40 percent — and then more than 50 percent much sooner than most of the chattering class can conceive. Bush is deeply loved and respected in places as diverse as remote villages in Africa and booming tech centers in India and, despite the noise from a left still trying to diminish his character, among tens of millions of Americans grateful for the care he has taken to protect them and their families.
But his greatest admirers will be Americans, and perhaps Afghans, Iraqis, Israelis, Indians and Africans a century or more from now who read about his record and resolve in so many efforts will marvel at his restraint and credit his faith and his family for a remarkable service to freedom.

McCain has proven to be the worst kind of politician ever. What is it that has made him so unable to close the deal when he is running against a "empty suit" who has no experience, who has the worst type of associations , Ayers, Acorn, Rezko, Jeremiah Wright. And has never stood for anything and the only reason he is even the democratic nominee is because of the color of his skin. Look back at the primaries - he won most of the caucuses because people were afraid not to support him openly incase of being called "racist". when the primary was a secret ballot he usually lost to Hillary. McCain is running against the most inexperienced and most radical person in the history of the US of A and yet he cannot close the deal. Why ?
Here is my analysis as to why.....
What is the republican party's main strength "National Security" and "Low taxes" . McCain has believed the press and the "talking heads " and concluded that he needs to distance himself from President Bush who in my opinion the best President this nation has had since Abraham Lincoln. All he needed to say was " I have broken with the Pesident on his signing the huge spending bills his own party sent him but on keeping this country safe and keeping taxes low I will strive to do even better. HE has kept us safe after 9/11 and I do not not want to go back to the Clinton years where every two years americans were killed
1993 World Trade Centre bombing, which killed 6 and injured 1,000
1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 5 US military personnel
1996 al-Khobar towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 US military personnel
1998 bombing of US embassies in Africa, which killed 257 and injured 5,000
2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 3 US sailors
and the Clinton Admin was impotent did nothing and that lead to 3000 deaths. I will be like President Bush tough on terrorists, I will go after them with everything I have. I will furthur the work of the Intelligence dept. I will keep you safe and keep taxes low. Remember the job of the President is to keep you safe above all and I will do so. Elect me do not elect a person who wants to negotiate with crazy regimes we will have another Jimmy Carter if you do"
There -- had he given this speech, honored President Bush and kept true to the facts rather than the polls he would have been leading by 4- 5 points now. But honor and gratitude are not McCain's strengths , it may have been 25 years ago but now he is just a politician who wants to win. and Alas that may be his undoing unless americans wake up and realize how dangerous Obama is. I have little hope that Obama can be stopped but who can tell......

Open Letter from my husband and myself to the McCain campaign.
We saw your representative Rick Davis on Fox News Sunday. His criticism of the President is disgusting to me and my wife. He refers to him as "George Bush"- without even the iota of respect. The only reason we would even support him is because the only other choice will be disastrous to this country. However, compared to President Bush, whom we consider one of the all-time great Presidents- right up there with Presidents Lincoln and Roosevelt- Sen. McCain is a Liliputian, a pygmy. ( As are all the rest of the republicans) - the only reason to vote for this set of tiny men with tiny tiny characters is because the other side are on a negative scale and bordering on enemies of the US of A. Just look for a terrorist of any kind and you will find a democrat supporting the terrorist. So we poor folks a left with no option but to vote for the republicans who are not fit to clean the shoes of President Bush.
The reasons why we would vote for Sen. McCain are primarily because of his stance on life his support of the troops, and his military service. He has absolutely no executive experience, and he may think he was "right about the surge", but "a surge" is not a strategy. What was presented to the President was a strategy that **needed** the surge- viz., the clear and hold strategy.
So, for him to go around preening himself on "opposing the administration", etc., is simply idiotic. I tell you, there are a silent majority of people like us who truly admire this great president. Sen. McCain and his reps can go around dissing the President at his own risk.
We contributed quite a bit of money to President Bush's re-election campaign, but we aren't going to send money to Sen. McCain's campaign, though we will vote for him. As I said the other choice is disastrous for the country.
I have not had as much fun as I have in the in the last few months. It is a scream to watch the headless democrats running around being shocked, SHOCKED that there is media bias in the main stream media. As a Bush-supporter and admirer I have watched the last 7 years, with complete disgust, the treatment of the press towards this great President. Every issue has been twisted and reported with such dishonesty it has repeatedly taken my breath away.
Yes, the bias screamers are mostly on Hill-Billy side of the aisle but it is better than nothing. the obama-empty heads are getting the benefit of the bias so they are lying low right now.
I nearly fell of my chair laughing when Terence Richard "Terry" McAuliffe came on Foxnews and declared "this is the only network that has been fair and balanced " he is of course a hill-billy kool aid drinker so the bias is hitting him where it hurts! Well, too bad he never brought it up when the republicans where being slammed unfairly by the left leaning media. Maybe, just maybe he may have had some credibility now, but now he is being dismissed as "bad loser" .
Carefully contructed to deconstruct Eliitist Peggy Noonan' s article in the WSJ.....by my husband
Ms Noonan writes:
George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues.
Last I checked, this is a free country and Ms. Noonan is entitled to her opinion and to voice her "declarations", however misguided, ill-informed, pandering to the conservative elite, and removed from reality it is.
Let me see if I can try and analyze her profound declarations for which we wait with bated breath every week.
He sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other.
He was the last one who could get the votes in 2004 of the social conservatives, the fiscal conservatives (except those heartless brutes whose god is mammon), and the national security conservatives. Compare him with the present crop. No one remotely comes close to coalescing the constituent pieces. In 2004, according to the exit polls- see http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/hughes/041105- the following statistics emerge:
Liberal: Bush 13%
Moderate: Bush 45%
Conservative: Bush 84%
Does Ms. Noonan think that Mitt Romney would get 84% of the conservative vote? The one who got as many convenient epiphanies as may be necessary in the course of a given election. From abortion to gay marriage to cutting taxes to state-mandated insurance. And Mitt Romney is the one that Ms. Noonan and her ilk support, as he is the most Reagan-esque perhaps. Maybe he will also get badgered into a tax increase, give actual amnesty, run away from Beirut, let the government coast with a "Morning in America" type of agenda, let his wife run the government, etc., as President Reagan did in his second term.
He did this on spending, the size of government,
Government Outlay Budget Deficit A 20.0% 2.6% B 21.3% 3.1% C 21.7% 2.7%
I ask Ms. Noonan try matching rows A,B, and C in the table above, with Presidents Carter, Reagan and George W. Bush. The answer is A - Pres. Bush; B - Pres. Reagan; C - Pres. Carter. And I have deliberately put the worst figures of Pres. Bush with the last year's figures of Pres. Carter and Reagan. And neither of these Presidents dealt with crises as big as 9/11 and the stock market crash, etc. Not even close.
And the increase in the Bush presidency (from 18.5% to 20%) has been in the area of defense, homeland security and the war. Otherwise, discretionary spending has decreased every year of his presidency.
war, the ability to prosecute war,
And perhaps General Noonan can tell us how the war can be prosecuted. No doubt she can draw on her extensive experience and knowledge of fighting an asymmetric war against a group of suicidal maniacs intent on nothing short of subjugation and the annihilation of America. No doubt her speech-writing prowess would have made the Al-Quaida types quake in their sandals. Especially her short sentences, innumerable question marks and the ellipses: they are killers.
Seriously, even the kamikhaze pilots in WW-II were honorable in that they targeted the military not innocent civilians. No president, repeat no president, has had to fight a suicidal enemy willing to harm innocent civilians with no compunction. Not George Washington, Abe Lincoln or Roosevelt/Truman.
And this war has been fought under the glare of 24 x 7 news coverage with an abundance of arm-chair generals with 20/20 hindsight operating in the environment of blame-America-first media. Remember that during WW-II, the media and even Hollywood was patriotic. And the god of the religion of conservatism, Pres. Reagan, is partly to blame for 9/11 when he blinked and pulled out of Beirut. Isn't it true that OBL used this response to tell his followers that America is a "paper tiger"? Don't get me wrong- I love Pres. Reagan and what he did for the country. He made mistakes- after all he was human, except to the high priests of Conservatism. What bothers me- and I suspect a lot of Americans- is that the conservative elites deify Pres. Reagan and have selective and/or convenient amnesia on the same issues where they vilify Pres. Bush.
immigration
And who, pray, is the savior who will deliver us from the evil of (illegal) immigration? Rep. Tom Tancredo, perhaps? Or Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage or Sean Hannity? These are outstanding individuals with rich executive experience whose actions speak louder than their words. Yeah, right! While the aforementioned elite conservatives are under the stupor of selective amnesia of Pres. Reagan's total amnesty they disparage and rubbish the comprehensive immigration reform of Pres. Bush. Oh! it is a great rallying cry- "We defeated the 'Illegal immigrants' Amnesty Bill". Yes- and that's why Ms. Pelosi is the speaker of the House. (Perhaps, the high priests-Limbaugh, Savage and Hannity- want Hillary to win- how else will they build up their listener base?)
Perhaps, Ms. Noonan would institute the department of Homeland Secret Service on the lines of the KJB of the the Nazi SS. But wait! Will it not increase the size of the government? But it may be worth it! I'm sure it would make America respected around the world to see the ASS (American Secret Service) flush out illegal immigrants with bayonets and load them on buses and planes. How in keeping with American character over the centuries!
and other issues.
Like the Miers-contra scandal? Or his communication skills or the lack thereof owing to which Pres. Bush is unable to talk for hours without saying anything? Maybe he didn't fire Rumsfeld? Or, he didn't adopt the surge strategy soon enough? Or, he didn't appoint conservative-enough judges in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy? President Bush increased the Republican party tally in both houses in 2002 and 2004. If only the cowardly Republicans had stuck with him instead of "distancing themselves" from him, we might not have Speaker Pelosi. And the scandals didn't help. Further, the high priests and the prophets of Conservatism held crusades against the apostasy of the immigration reform bill. And, instead of focusing on the economy and urging for patience and persistence with Iraq, the lily-livered poltroons of the Republican party capitulated to the media onslaught on Iraq and to the right wing crazies on immigration. Largely as a result of these factors, they lost.
Ms. Noonan and the conservative elites deserve a President Clinton. However, as my wife says, it is too much of a price for the country to pay. Hopefully it will teach them a lesson to have a President McCain, who I don't like, but is the better of the 3 front runners, now that Huckabee seems to be out of the running.
I have never heard such nonsense as what I am hearing and reading with the reaction to the recent Intelligence Estimate on Iran's program. 1. Iran stopped part of their program because President scared the turbans of off them by taking Saddam down like he said he would. 2. One of Iran's main reason for the nuclear program was to compete with Iraq which was widely believed to have such ambitions. So once the USA got rid of Saddam Iran lost another reason to continue. 3. Once Gadaffi saw what President did to Saddam he too turned over his covert program and Iran came to the same conclusion only they continued "seeking the technology" 4. Once this President retires Iran and other crazy regimes will start back their programs there is no deterrent like President Bush and his straight talk.
I have been in several companies in the bay area, both to work and to interview. Some of the folks that work there are always spouting non-stop liberal bias and poppy-cock. Anti-Bush comments and assumption that others must think like them makes these people beyond stupid and short-sighted. Any attempt to talk about the facts makes them go back to almost livid and crazy. For example if they talk about the Iraq war and you happen to talk about the mass graves that Sadam filled during his reign of terror. They go ballistic. Some companies have such open support to the liberal left in so many ways it is not funny anymore.
