I actually voted for Keyes - no way he'd ever win but I felt I needed to vote conservative like I had an actual choice smile I almost voted for HRC but I wanted to be sure and check the under cards in the conservative side to make sure I voted for them.

In the fall I'll vote for the most conservative candidate running smile

That about sums it up!



Lets talk VP choices.


Do you think McCain will go more conservative to woo the base or do you think he will pick a moderate to try for crossover votes.

I feel like my vote is not going to count this year. frown

I don't want McCain and I don't want either of the other two, so where do you go from there? It's like throwing away a vote. smash

McCain was here and scoop was he was wooing Jodi Rell (Our Governor), but she has denied those rumors (so far). She has been an excellent Governor and she is surely competent enough. Not sure tho... smile

Mccain should pick someone like Frist from Tn. I dont think he would join him though. Last year he was on W's coat tails in every photo op and media pic. I thought they were positioning him for a run...
He is a good man.Very coinservative.

Top psychiatrist concludes liberals clinically nuts
Eminent psychiatrist makes case ideology is mental disorder


Posted: February 15, 2008
3:40 pm Eastern



WASHINGTON – Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder.
"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded," says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness." "Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave."
While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to "the vast right-wing conspiracy."
For more than 35 years he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.
Rossiter says the kind of liberalism being displayed by the two major candidates for the Democratic Party presidential nomination can only be understood as a psychological disorder.
"A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do," he says. "A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do."
Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
-creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;

-satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;

-augmenting primitive feelings of envy;

-rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
"The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."

THE CHICAGO WAY: Obama earmark goes to hospital where his wife works, shortly after his wife gets a big raise. If he were a Republican, this would be a scandal.

has anyone read the Michael Savage book, "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder"?\I havent and am curious about it. I like old savage although he can be a bit crude sometimes. Usually his rants are right on target.

Speaking of crude... we haven't heard the last of OHB's spiritual mentor - Jeremy Wright. Martin Luther King, he's not. shutup

Have you seen the videos that have been playing the last few days? Obama says he sat under his ministry for 20 years, was married by him and his children were baptized by him. The 'pastor' is racist tho, plain and simple; with a rather unhealthy dose of anti-Americanism thrown in. How can you sit under his ministry for 2 decades and not say you agree with his teachings?

"The US invented AIDS to wipe out black people"
Quote:

An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright’s sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.

“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God d&%$ America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people,” he said in a 2003 sermon. “God d*^% America for treating our citizens as less than human. God *&% America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”

In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda’s attacks because of its own terrorism.

“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye,” Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” he told his congregation.


The media hounded John McCain until he finally denounced Pastor John Hagee, as he should have.

But Barack Obama is much closer to this lunatic Rev. Wright than McCain ever was to Hagee. How long until he cuts his ties with this over-the-top hater?

yeah, he believes like his pastor - 20 yrs running> Islam is alive and well, and lives deeply inside OHB. He can shut it down when politically correct.
He is as good a double talking say nothing change the topic political yapper as any i have EVER seen - including SLick WIllie.
The longer this goes on , the more I give old man Mccain a chance.
Anderson 360 grilled Obama a bit about his lunatic pastor. (or so it seemed, he lobbed some pretty easy questions in retrospect and gave Obama a National platform to renounce the Rev.)
I am voting straight up republican at this point - pretty much always have due to Moral convictions that Democrats dont share.
THey dont want to legislate morality, but they want to legislate EVERYTHING ELSE.

You want change?

A Little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we've seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummeted;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
7) The dollar is at an all time low.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Not sure how much anyone in congress had much to do with the issues on that list, but Pelosi's infamous "drain the swamp" speech is a laugher - they more than filled it with their own snakes in the grass.

Did anyone hear/read the John Kerry (*&%-ola today? He's about as 'nuanced' as a poopy diaper.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120611553243855079.html?mod=Best+of+the+Web+Today

Quote:

Kerry said that a President Obama would help the US, in relations with Muslim countries, "in some cases go around their dictator leaders to the people and inspire the people in ways that we can't otherwise."
"He has the ability to help us bridge the divide of religious extremism," Kerry said. "To maybe even give power to moderate Islam to be able to stand up against this radical misinterpretation of a legitimate religion."
Kerry was asked what gives Obama that credibility.
"Because he's African-American. Because he's a black man. Who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country."
An African-American president would be "a symbol of empowerment" for those who have been disenfranchised around the world, Kerry said, "an important lesson for America to show Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, other places in the world where disenfranchised people don't get anything."


Augh, I nearly gagged when I heard this tripe on the radio today. Just what "oppression and repression" did Obama come from? Harvard? How low of a stereotype can you give before you just keep digging?

"He has the ability to help us bridge the divide of religious extremism," Kerry said. "To maybe even give power to moderate Islam to be able to stand up against this radical misinterpretation of a legitimate religion."


Rightt... just like he stood up to the religious extremism in his own church? After 20 years worth of anti-Americanism?

Kerry needs to crawl back in the hole he's been hiding in the last 4 years.

CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS DOESN'T LIKE OBAMA:


"You often hear it said, of some political or other opportunist, that he would sell his own grandmother if it would suit his interests. But you seldom, if ever, see this notorious transaction actually being performed, which is why I am slightly surprised that Obama got away with it so easily. . . . To have accepted Obama's smooth apologetics is to have lowered one's own pre-existing standards for what might constitute a post-racial or a post-racist future. It is to have put that quite sober and realistic hope, meanwhile, into untrustworthy and unscrupulous hands. And it is to have done this, furthermore, in the service of blind faith. Mark my words: This disappointment is only the first of many that are still to come."

This new leader who "transcends race" called his own grandmother a "typical white person" when he tried to play down remarks made by his own spiritual leader for the last 20 years. I am beginning to like BHO less and less. mad

Unless Hillary slips hard in Pennsylvania it will be too close to call - it's going to the convention in June where it will be decided. I think the Clintons will have a bit of upperhand, since they have so much experience hitting below the belt.

Panic

Quote:

For all their delight in soaring voter registration and strong poll numbers, some Democrats fear the contest between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton might have a nightmarish end, which could wreck a promising election year.

The chief worry is that Clinton may carry her recent winning streak into Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina and other states, leaving her with unquestioned momentum but fewer pledged delegates than Obama. Party leaders then would face a wrenching choice: Steer the nomination to a fading Obama, even as signs suggested Clinton could be the stronger candidate in November; or go with the surging Clinton and risk infuriating Obama's supporters, especially blacks, the Democratic Party's most loyal base.

Some anxious Democrats want party elders to step in now to generate more "superdelegate" support for Obama, effectively choking off Clinton's hopes before she can bolster them further. But many say that is unlikely, and they pray the final 10 contests will make the ultimate choice fairly obvious, not excruciating.

I DONT THINK OBAMA CAN LOSE.The Clinton Machine will call in all favors from the past and at the last hour men and women will decide their loyalty to the old regime - Clintons_ or the new golden voice of Obama. While Obama may have the ability to woo the people like no other rightnow, the Clinton have POWER from within.
IT will be interesting, but it will not be decided until the last hour. Good for repubs, bad for Dems. In the end Mccain can only beat Hillary, I dont hink he could beat Obama for a second.
