Mon, 01 Dec 2008 05:51:54 +0000

Garden State Grass Root Republicans Trying To Cultivate A Winning GOP Ticket In ‘09 (Manchester, N.J. -December 1, 2008) ~ Followers of Republican State Senator Beck, R-Monmouth, have begun a petition and campaign for her to be tapped as the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor and running mate of whomever ultimately wins the nomination for Governor. They expect to deliver that message to whomever the Republican nominee for Governor winds up being.

As stated in the petition, it calls “upon the Republican party’s nominee for Governor to select State Senator Jennifer Beck as their running mate and our nominee for Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey in the November elections of 2009.”

Now that the race is over

“If the mouth holds nothing good, it’s better to keep it shut, but if it holds anything of value; its contents must then be carefully delivered.” - Joseph Luxum

McCain jumped from strategy to strategy like a tiger in a cage. The maverick tried anything that works; from troops surge, to Aires, to Joe the Plumber, but finally what really worked, was to call Mr. Elect to congratulate him.

The congratulations were honest, but anything before that was white wool strewn over the eyes of those that saw too many colors.

Honey, Are You Feeling Mavericky?

Joking about a candidate’s wife entering a topless biker beauty contest, offers for Playboy centerfold shoots, Russian servicemen “nailin’” an insatiable female governor in a farcical porno political parody and inflatable love dolls dressed like librarians.

What do all these have in common, you ask?

An uncharacteristically high degree of sexual banter and raw sex appeal associated with the traditional bastion of political Conservatism and stalwart defender of family values – the Republican Party.

Pride Goeth Before The Fall ~ Republican Hubris and Barack Obama

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 03:24:22 +0000

I originally published this piece on March 3, 2008. While the introductory paragraph has been excised and it has been structurally revised, it remains substantively true to its’ original composition.

At the time, Republicans were gloating over the prospect of Barack Obama putting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign out of its misery.

As they relished the agony that had become Clinton’s campaign, I admonished them to resist the allure of hubris and be mindful of history. Failing to learn its lessons, like so many others before them - including Senator Clinton herself – I warned they may well find themselves doomed to repeat it.

I Think I Disagree With The Former President

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:56:46 +0000

It's no secret really: I love Bill Clinton. I think he is a brilliant person who has done great things for the United States and continues to do great things for the world through his Foundation. I think that he is an extremely gifted politician (perhaps the best of my lifetime, so far?) and I'm glad that he is widely recognized as such.

I generally agree with most things President Clinton says. Not in a blind-follower sort of way, but I just usually agree with him on economic and social issues (perhaps because both of us are democrats - just a guess). However, there was a recent occasion in which I took issue with a comment from the former president.

Unconventional Omens ~ Of Coffee Cups, Baseball Bats and Sponge Bob's Brats

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:06:18 +0000

In honor of Halloween this coming Friday, I thought I would kickoff the week with a wee electoral fright.

Having previously scared Republicans with the specter of FDR’s ghost and the electoral torment he inflicts on them every sixteen years, I’ve unearthed a few more foreboding omens portending impending presidential perils for the pachyderm party.

As infighting mounts in the McCain campaign, Conservatives begin openly pointing fingers and red states teeter like unstable dominoes under a combination of Senator Obama’s overwhelming media assault and coordinated ground campaign, a bit of unconventional political wisdom has surfaced that adds insult to what increasingly appears to be fatal injury.

Debate Three ~ A Disappointing Final Course

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:11:54 +0000

Over the past several days I’ve been repeatedly asked where my analysis of the third and final presidential debate was. Initially chocking the delay up to my desire to avoid the pitfalls of insta-analysis, as time went on the thought began to creep into the back of my mind that perhaps I had contracted a nasty case of writer’s block.

How could this be, I wondered. Surely someone as opinionated and verbose as me had something to say about Wednesday night’s final faceoff between Senators McCain and Obama.

What's In A Name?

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 23:44:19 +0000

With less than thirty days before voters go to the polls to pull the lever down, the Republican Presidential Nominee,Senator John McCain, aggressively goes on the attack questioning the "character" of the Democratic Presidential Nominee, Senator Barack Obama.

THE OBAMABOMBER AND LIBERAL’S TOLERANCE OF TERRORISM IN THE PRESIDEDRNTIAL ELECTION

Eric Rudolph was convicted to life in prison after murdering people and bombing two abortion clinics. Had his despicable crimes not killed people in those bombings and he served a lesser sentence he may well be out of prison someday. But what if Eric Rudolph had he not been kept behind bars?

THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE...Two Bracelets, No Sale

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 07:44:39 +0000

After first suggesting that the debate on foreign policy be postponed so that participants can work on the 700 billion dollar economic bailout package, John McCain joined Barack Obama on the stage in Oxford, Mississippi. The suspension of normal campaign activity by McCain’s campaign actually did little to effect the issue that it intended to and it was not a move that was seen through by McCain. The bailout bill has still not been assembled and neither one of the potential White House occupants have influenced the final product that either one of them will have to contend with in 4 months. That is disappointing.
