Good Grief…

The media spun into hystrionics today over Hillary Clinton’s announcement for President. After having been away for most of the day, I came home to see and hear the great circus of an entire mainstream media apparatus dancing in jubilation. Adori…

Sen. Brownback strikes me as an honest man. I imagine he’s really running for Vice President this time around. He could be an asset on the ticket. if, say, Rudy gets the nomination.

The articles on him that I read make it appear as though he is an Iraq skeptic.

Anyway, he will add to the conversation.

vatar – funny. Remember the rocks on the beach that Bill was able to arrange so conveniently when walking along the beach with Hillary back in his presidential days. Rocks that were nowhere on the beach except in his path ready to be placed nicely.

Scripted all the way.

Unless you are the sheople or the dominant press. Then you can overlook the poll driven presidency. No leadership only decision by polls. Every idea is based on focus groups and not what is right or wrong.

The LEAD up to the Bosnia war was scripted and the dominant media conviced the public that something MUST be done prior to our bombing campaign for a month or two. At first the American public could care less. Then the people cared after the dominant press carried the water (converse to Bush’s treatment), then Bill acted with leadership!!!

Has anyone watched the Hillary announcement video? Take a look at the trees in the background through the window. This video is several months old. It was made during the summer.

Weekend wrap up

I didn’t blog at all this weekend. Fair weather finally allowed us to do some cleaning, celebrate a few birthdays and get some shopping done.
But the world moved on. In the highlights:
Hillary shocked the world and announced her plans…

How will we know how badly Hillary wants to get back into the White House? When you see her at a shooting range with an AR-15 with a 30 round magazine chatting with the guys and gals in their flannel jackets!

When Brownback said, “I am a conservative and I’m proud of being a conservative,” he ought to have been struck by lightning, after his sponsorship of the McCain-Kennedy illegal alien amnesty bill.

What? The MSM supports a Clinton over a Republican?! Gee that has never happened before! Next you will be telling us they hid certain facts about a Clinton that may be negative! WOW! “Doctored” “news” from the MSM/DNC, boy o boy! To quote Bill Jefferson “I am shocked, I tell you shocked!”

Bill is the keeper of cool UN cash for thos not up on Democratic politics.

[...] Sister Toldjah does a niceÂ compart and contrast between the MSM handling of Mrs. Clinton’s announcement and that of Sam Brownback’s: The mediots are in full support mode today after Hillary Clinton’s announcement that she will seek the Democratic nomination for president, on the same day that Kansas Republican Senator Sam Brownback announced that he would be running. New Mexico gov. Bill Richardson (D) is set to announce his presidential intentions tomorrow. [...]

While this is blatantly disgusting, it’s far from surprising. The only surprise is that they didn’t borrow some “photographs” of Brownback from Reuters in order to enhance their lefty stance.

All of this puppy-love like adoration of Obama is getting nauseating. Shame that he won’t come right out and state,”I’m a muslim,” or “I’m not a muslim.” You’d think that sort of thing would be important to people (even dummycrats).

First of, I don’t want you to mistaken me for a Clinton supporter because I’m not. I have not made up my of who to support. I actually like to hear the issues from the candidates before I make up my mind.

Now, I’m sorry, but this post does not prove bias. The articles on AP states the obvious. Everything they said about Clinton and Brownback is based on fact. There is no bias there. Yes, Clinton gets more attention, why? Well you guessed, she is the first real viable female politician that could win the presidency. Yes, it is “historic.” And yes, she is a “political powerhouse.” I’m surprised it took you that long to to figure that out. And she does have “immense star power,” everyone in the nation knows her. Everyone in the nation has an opinion of her. As for Brownback he has been tapped as the conservative alternative to McCain and Guiliani. That is obvious. And you know what, he is a favorite of the religious right as the article says. Everything in these articles is based on fact, I simply don’t see the bias. Plus, that link does not show she is a liberal. What it shows is the positions supported by the ADA compared to positions of the Senators. If you knew anything about Clinton’s record, or even looked at Clinton’s record you will know that Clinton is closer to the center than Obama or Edwards. Clinton is a Democrat leaning to the center.

Having said that, I think it is unfortunate that Clinton ate up the media and left Brownback in the dust, but he did have a nice event and he did get some play on the media. I personally think he is a longshot. Mike Huckabee will be a better choice among the conservatives. The Republican nominee will likely go to the front-runner as the Republicans always vote for their front-runner. Whether the front-runner is McCain or Guiliani remains to be seen. I personally think it’s McCain.

I cannot WAIT for the dem primary debates. I wonder if contenders will bow to her — fearful of losing consideration for the VP slot or will one have the fortitude to challenge her. I want America to hear her voice rise three octaves as she goes bug-eyed deaniac — speaking of whom (Dean, that is), Hill and Bill were not fans of his a few years back. Reckon she’ll get him replaced as Chair of the DNC?
