Palin Vindicated
Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | Leave a Comment
The AP carried a story tonight concerning Sarah Palin and the “troopergate” probe. Of course Mrs. Palin was completely exonerated of all charges. In fact, she was not only exonerated, the state personnel board found that there was “no probable cause to believe that the governor, or any other state official, violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with these matters.”
The Democrats should probably find another method of winning elections. The politics of personal destruction that Bill Clinton introduced may work the first few times, but eventualy the people will clue in to those tactics. They may one day find mobs armed with pitchforks at their collective doors.
Alaskan authorities ought to prosecute Stephen Branchflower for ethics violations. Branchflower is the Democratic legislator who insisted on the investigation, and was obviously paid off by the state trooper around whom this story revolves. At the very least he ought to be unseated for attempting to interfere with an election.
Tonight, all the idiots who used this as evidence of Palin’s unsuitability are eating crow. And they should be.

GOP Challenges ACORN Registrations
Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | Leave a Comment
A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of a GOP challenge to the Ohio Secretary of State’s election policies, which included not fully verifying voter registrations made in the last several months. The spokesman for the Ohio GOP also complained that Secretary Brunner had not provided a way for election officials to act on questionable registrations in a timely manner.
Brunner’s refusal to act on this matter leaves questions as to her impartiality, especially in light of the recent problems with voter registrations submitted by ACORN.

Do Democrats Hate You?
Filed Under Ideology, Politics | Leave a Comment
Democrats got some bad news yesterday: Hurricane Gustav wasn’t as bad as it could have been. It was downgraded to a category 2 storm, and made landfall to the west of New Orleans. Does this mean that God isn’t on their side after all? Will “Foul Fowler” really apologize now?
Not only was Gustav weaker than the Democrats had hoped, it missed our oil derricks in the gulf as well, which resulted in a drop of nearly $7 in the price of a barrel of oil.
What does it say about these people who have to hope for the worst to happen to people? There’s something deeply wrong there, and very disturbing.

Some Democrats Are Just Foul
Filed Under Campaigns, Elections, Environment | Leave a Comment
You’ve got to see the video to believe it. Former Democratic National Committee Chairman has a laugh enroute to North Carolina at the expense of the people of New Orleans. He chuckles at the prospect of hurricane Gustav making landfall at about the same time that Pres. Bush is scheduled to speak at the Republican Convention, then quips that it looks like “God’s on our side.”
So I guess Democratic Congressional Candidate Bennion Spencer is not so far off the reservation as I previously thought. Apparently there are other Democrats who think they are God’s chosen people.
Here’s the video:

Democrats and Non-issues
Filed Under Politics | Leave a Comment
The democrats are in an uproar today over Karl Rove’s refusal to testify before Congress regarding the firing of 8 federal prosecutors. He even has the audacity to ignore the Democrats’ subpoena!
Apparently, harassing a former political aide of a President who cannot be re-elected in a shameful attempt to uncover pretended improprieties is more important to the country than fixing our energy problem, or our spending problem, or even tort reform as it relates to our health care problem.
Pres. Bush did nothing wrong by firing those prosecutors. He has complete liberty to do so for any reason, or for no reason. The democrats happily ignore the fact the Pres. Clinton fired all 93 federal prosecutors while he was in office. Where were the Republican investigations? There were none!
The democrats are complaining about the prosecution of democratic former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, but being a democrat nowadays is enough to justify charges of sedition and treason. At least the AP got part of the story right, the federal prosecutors in question were disloyal, but to America rather than to Bush.
We really need to send these weasels home. They need real jobs.
