OK, I have tried to stay calm, but there are a few lines that have been crossed, and I simply must express my opinion. If this offends you, then we are so firmly entrenched in our separate beliefs that almost any political opinion I offer will offend you, and probably likewise.
That out of the way, here goes.
Matt Damon and Pamela Anderson must have mixed up the places where the intellect and the fecal matter go. In my mind these two are so hopelessly stupid, biased, and hate-filled that they are walking advertisements on why abortion should never be banned, even as late as the 117th trimester (Matt Damon) or the 126th trimester (Pamela Anderson).
Now have I lowered myself to their level? That is my intention.
Matt Damon is a college dropout that has turned looks and some acting ability into an outrageous fortune, which by liberal Democrat standards, he ought to be sharing copiously with the disenfranchised. Let's see it, Matt, before you open your substantial blowhole to impugn capable candidates with impressive resumes that participate in our political process (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6urw_PWHYk).
Pamela Anderson is a two-bit you-know-what that has been used and abused by the best of them and has been granted favorable consideration the country over in light of her good looks and acting(?) abilities. So what is the considered opinion of the Republican vice presidential candidate as offered by THIS mind-boggling intellect with the famous set of false...er...assets?
"She can suck it!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BU91ALzOak).
Let's match wits between, say Matt Damon: Harvard Dropout, Pamela Anderson: Street Educated, and the people they hate:
George Bush: Bachelors Degree from Yale, MBA from Harvard, F-102 pilot, Governor of Texas (reelected by landslide), and two-term President of the United States.
Dick Cheney: B.A. political scince, M.A. political science, Congressman, Senator, and two-term Vice President of the United States.
Sarah Palin: B.S. communications-journalism, Mayorof Wasilla, AK, Governor of Alaska, Chair of the National Governors Association, Vice-Presidential nominee.
Let's see a reality show where Matt and Pamela are locked in a room with George, Dick, and Sarah for about 2 hours, talking about everything they want to get off their (ample) chests. Let's see the whole thing recorded, with no edits, and viewed and reviewed by the couch-potato(e) public on evening TV.
A run-through of that one time is about all anyone would need to see the depth and breadth of the intelligence, compassion, and cognitive ability of two of Hollywood's "finest".
Wanna know what I think about Matt and Pamela?
"They can suck it!"

All-in for Palin
Well, yep - I'll enter the ante.
Who'd a thunk the punk-boy had the cojones for this selection?
Now let me say I wish no harm on the maverick, but how I wish there were some way we could flip the ticket. Oh, how I wish.
Democrats are stunned and a bit frustrated. No matter what mud they throw, it doesn't seem to stick. Anybody remember 8 years of Clinton? Welcome to our frustration.
If the teflon gal holds up through it she'll carry Mr. McCain into the White House, I believe. It's refreshing to see how many people actually do hold more conservative beliefs than we are led to believe by all the tongues sitting at news anchor desks. Gee, to listen to the lot of them there are only 6 real conservatives in the whole United States.
But with Palin on the ticket, suddenly it seems conservatives outnumber liberals. It is pleasant to behold, if a bit amazing.
I'm not completely naive. A lot happens in the last 2 months of a presidential campaign. One thing is for sure - if the race stays within 4 points either way, the networks definitely won't be trying to call the election early as they have so many times before.
Remember that I am NOT voting for McCain. There is no political death-bed conversion that will enable me to do that after all the wounds he dealt conservatism over the years.
However, I will be happier if he gets in than I would be if the other side and all their hope for change because it is something to believe in change we can hope for if we just believe that we can change so that we can again have hope.
Almost makes me feel sorry for Hillary. Oh, wait. Not. Can't give much credit to 147 "I don't recall"s during the Whitewater hearings about her 60 hours of booked time for the Rose Law Firm.
And for the encore, how about Joe B? All excited at a rally mentions a guy in a wheel chair, and shouts "Stand up Chuck! Let everybody see you! Stand Up! Oh my, what amd I talkin' about? Well, everybody here is standing up for you, Chuck!"
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Funnier than Bob Dole falling off the stage in '96.

Sad day for me as I leave the Republican Party
The time has arrived for me to make this decision.
I lived through 8 years of George Bush trying to make nice with Democrats receiving the shoddiest treatment over and again by those he "befriended" on the liberal side. I took it on the chin along with Bush, hoping that those evil peoples' better nature might take over. No chance - they don't seem to have a better nature.
I put up with RINOs (Republicans in name only) pulling the rug out from under the President's and the Party's feet, time and again, thinking that in the end it would all work out. From the unconstitutional implementation of campaign finance reform, to the horrendous overspending that resulted in huge deficits in spite of the surge in treasury receipts resulting from tax cuts. From the sinking of judicial nominees and diplomatic appointees, to the outrageous criminal pursuits of Tom Delay and Scooter Libby, and the dangerous failure to support America's anti-terrorist fight.
I watched with disbelief as John McCain became the Republican presidential nominee, and finally, I made a tough decision. I would not mark the ballot for McCain. My presidential vote would go blank, but I would vote straight ticket Republican for the representative races, even if I had to hold my nose while doing so.
Then today I watched two Virginia Republicans endorse the Democratic candidate for Senate.
"According to the The Washington Post, Republicans Vince Callahan and John Chichester will officially endorse Democrat Mark Warner for Senate on Monday."
Gentlemen and ladies in the RNC: enough is enough.
If I go on, I will end up cursing you, and I want this to remain a family-oriented blog!
Therefore, I have decided today to bid the GOP a not-so-fond farewell.
I am mad, sad, frustrated, frightened, and depressed that the great launch of conservative ideas launched under Reagan and the 1994 Republican Revolution have come to naught.
Perhaps I can find a political home where these great ideas, coupled with great minds and with great achievers can once again become ascendant.
One thing I am certain of is that the Republican Party is not that place.

You know what? "NO".
Now I'm being asked to let bygones be bygones and support McCain.
You know what? "NO".
In 1991 President Bush raised taxes. He participated in, at that time, the largest single tax increase in U.S. history. I joined many other conservative republicans and issued a protest vote for Ross Perot. We killed ourselves. We gave us Clinton. Good God almighty we wrecked things for everyone for 8 years.
You know what? I don't care. I am fixin' to do it again. Democrats have no integrity. They can do or say whatever they want. They own that MO. We don't need to join them. When principles are at stake, they need to be stood up for. Bush 41 did not, and he suffered the wrath of his party.
Now it is McCain's turn. He has spit on conservative principles and on conservatives far too many times to be forgiven just because he is the nominee. Screw that. He is not a conservative. He does not have integrity. From Amnesty to taxes, abortion to Swift Boaters, and judges to marriage. He is on the wrong side of every issue. Not only that, but he has used stealth and subtrefuge to block honest conservative efforts in all areas, to compromise with the opposition (Democrats), and to disparage and discourage conservatives everywhere all during Bush 43's two terms in office.
I for one will not forgive McCain. I for one will not support McCain. And if I contribute to submitting the country to the disaster of Democrat rule for the next 4 years, so be it. If a liberal is going to be in office, it should at least be a liberal in both function and label. Not a liberal dishonestly masking himself as a conservative to get power.
If McCain becomes president I will only hope and pray that the office will make the man. It has happened before, and I wouldn't rule out the chance. But I will not lift a finger to help him get there.
For the first presidential election in my life since I have been able to vote, I choose to stay home.
You know what? "NO".

Oh, those Clintons
They came out of nowhere freely using donations from communist Chinese through the Lippo Group. Clinton had promised during the campaign not to grant China "most favored nation" status, and mere months after taking office, that is exactly what he did.
To me it signals quid pro quo.
Contributor Huang moved from the commerce department (thus corrupted by Clinton) to a role as fundraiser for the DNC. Huang raised a LOT of money for Clinton from Chinese Americans, and eventually (after LOTS of US taxpayer money was spent trying to chase him down) plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges for campaign fraud.
Neither Clinton has ever been held accountable.
Then there was Whitewater. No trial because there was not enough evidence to convict, although Hillary was mentioned 35 times in partner Webster Hubbell's indictment. Well, never mind that there was missing evidence that turned up AFTER the investigation, that testimony given by all Clinton "participants" in the fraud used the 5th amendment or "I don't recall" to keep from testifying, and that the famous Rose Law Firm records turned up in the White House after the statute of limitations was past. (Hillary said "I can't recall" 250 times during her testimony to congress)
Believe me all you Clinton Fans, it DID drive us crazy on the right, and while you were laughing the rule of law was raped. (And you think we don't know how mad you are that you can't seem to get the goods on Bush no matter how hard you try?). Ha!
Then there was Monica. Even top Democrat Leaders said that if Clinton lied he should resign. Then he didn't. Then they all (and I mean ALL) switched their tune, just so they could stick thumbs in conservative eyes. Well it worked. The man stayed in office.
But really, what was the cost? Really, think it through.
And Hillary came out with her famous "If you see a turtle on a fence post..." speech. And it turned out that the responsible parties for placing turtles on fenceposts were....The Clintons!
Bill lies to us, lies to a grand jury, and is disbarred. And not one Democrat will even scan the piles of evidence gathered for his impeachment. Not one.
Ahhhhh.
There's more. Much more.
Which brings us to today. I thought I was rid of Bill. I thought Hillary would lose to Obama. But now I am not so sure. Hillary's people can imply that Obama dealt drugs, and they get a pass. They can say Obama hasn't done the "spadework" necessary to be president. They get a pass. I can imagine what would have happened to Trent Lott - oh, wait...it DID happen to Trent Lott!
And I've tried to navigate Hillary's positions on the Iraq war - it is impossible.
These two are populists and opportunists. They are patently dishonest as well. They corrupt everyone around them, and their greed for power seems to have no constraints. How I wish they would go away, but I fear I must hope to outlast them physically if I am ever to experience that sublime reality.
How's Bill's heart?
(can't ask the same about Hillary, she doesn't appear to have one).

(can't ask the same about Hillary, she doesn't appear to have one).
Why is the government so big?
I think we've hosed ourselves, truly I do.
My paycheck this period is $4,554
My taxes are $1,109
One fourth of what I make as income is tasken from me up front.
I live in Virginia.
5 percent is added to EVERYTHING I buy, and handed over to the state treasury.
I use electricity and phones.
Take a look at your phone bill and utility bill, and see all the fees and taxes added to them every month.
When you are all said and done, if you are in my tax bracket, you will find that you are spending nearly 40 percent of total income in taxes and fees.
40 percent.
Who needs all that money, really?
OK here's what got me. Savings and Loan companies got into trouble in the 80's. Somehow the federal government ended up bailing them out, costing us taxpayers abotu $124 billion (Amadeo, 2008) Could stagflation reoccur? http://useconomy.about.com/.
Why?
Terrorists attack and kill thousands. For being in the wrong place at the wrong time the federal government gives each of the surviving families over $1 million.
Why?
Old men want Viagra. Can't go without sex, now, can we?
Problem is they don't want to pay for it. So we do, through Medicare.
Why?
Now people are in trouble with their mortgages. THEY refinanced into variable rate loans, paying interest-only, so they could get TEMPORARY low payments.
Rates rise, loans default, banks tremble, housing prioces fall, and those people are in trouble for THEIR decisions.
So we want the federal government to bail them out. Can't wait to see the final bill for that, and what it will cost taxpayers.
Why?
Hey, I'm all for emergency care for people in trouble. Heart trouble? No assets? We'll give you a bypass and medication. Sick? No money? call one number - be assigned to a doctor. Go.
Guess what? It'll be our doctors and generics.
Could you get better treatment? probably, but it's welfare after all - at least you get it.
Can you get your teeth straightened so you will look better? No.
Can you get your boobs enlarged? No.
Can you get your tummy stapled? Liposuction? An abortion? A face lift? No. No. No. and No.
Can you get antibiotics for Strep Throat? Yes.
Can you stay in a hospital overnight? Yes.
Can you live in a hospital? No.
Bet this would cut Medicare costs by billions.
Hungry?
No problem.
Warehouse in the town you live in. Stocked to the roof with balogna, eggs, cheese, milk, canned vegetables.
Go there. Or ask someone else to go there for you.
Guess what? You will eat what is provided. Total nutrition.
It will always be the same thing.
But you will be full.
No place to live?
No problem.
Homeless shelter in your town. 30 day passes, reviewed every month.
Oh - they don't feed you - you go to the warehouse for food.
Bet this would cut welfare costs by billions
Yeah I know - I sound so cruel.
But I believe at this point throwing money at people and their problems to assuage our guilt isn't helping. It is making matters worse. We have "fought the war on poverty" for more than 40 years now by throwing money at it. All we have done is made more poverty, broken up families, and increased the government's iron grip on our pocket books.
I don't think we can change it now.
It's too bad, but Will Durant (I think) said it best: "Nations are born stoic, and die Hedonistic" - or something like that.
Meaning we strive in the beginning to take care of ourselves, and after a while we grow to expect someone else to take care of us at little or no cost to us.
So we go out, whining and crying, big babies without the will or means to wipe our own heinies.
What a way to go.
