Does anyone know where Hillary is and what she's doing?

Read Their Lips: Republicans are lying about taxes

Private Joker — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:11:38 EDT

How do you manage to turn the nation's largest government surplus into the nation's largest government deficit? Ask George Bush.

I heard a lot of political "buzzwords" this last week at the RNC convention. However, two key words I've noticed are slowly being phased out from the Republican lexicon: fiscal responsibility.

Republicans castigate liberals as tax and spend, but in reality tax and spend makes more sense than to spend without taxes. A government that runs deficits is forced to borrow from the Federal Reserve, which in turn prints more money which devalues the dollar. This policy leads to higher prices, reduced savings, and ultimately ends with dire economic consequences. American tax payers, already struggling to balance their own budgets, eventually must foot the bill to end the bleeding.

Fundraising on this site

Has anyone had any success at this?

Everyone here talks a good game, but really we need to be more constructive in what we are doing if we are going to win. I like the idea of using this site to gather small donations from friends to help the DNC. It not only helps the candidates we like get elected, but it also makes them less accountable to corporate donors and more accountable to us.

This is my site. I've only got 1 donor. That donor happens to be me. LOL. We should all at least take a little time and try to do this.

Watch the GOP Women Talk About Sarah Palin

Cato Meador — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:15:42 EDT

If you notice, every woman at the GOP convention that is singing the praises of Sarah Palin......of what I have seen EVERY ONE OF THEM......is MANY MORE TIMES MORE QUALIFIED THAN THE WOMAN THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOVE DOWN AMERICA'S THROAT!!

And yet....THEY were looked over for the runner-up Miss Alaska 1982!!

This goes so far beyond bizarre.............

Why Sarah Palin Is The Perfect GOP VP Selection

Cato Meador — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:30:25 EDT

It would seem to me, that John McCain couldn't have found a running mate better suited for a GOP ticket, than Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska.
First, if it turns out that her youngest child is actually her daughter's.....then she is a LIAR.

Second, as someone who is an advocate for 'abstainence only' sex education and still believes that it works after her own daughter has been pregnant out of wedlock at LEAST once, if not twice....then she is a HYPOCRITE.

Third, being the type of VP nominee that scares the beejeesus out of people who contemplate her one heartbeat away from being the most powerful person on Earth.....following the likes of Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle and Spiro Agnew....she MEASURES UP.

And fourth, being a Republican politician who is under investigation for ABUSE OF POWER.....hell, she is just another "The Constitution and the laws don't apply to me" REPUBLICAN!!

Short of Ann Coulter......SHE IS THE PERFECT FIT!!

We Cannot Drop Our Guard!!

Cato Meador — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:24:53 EDT

It would seem, as I have written earlier, that the polls are incorrect due to under-polling of the new voting blocks that Barack Obama has brought to the table.

It would also seem that the Republicans are doing their best to continue George W. Bush's direction...for their party......straight off the cliff!

We have seen that McCain having ONE meeting and ONE phone call with the runner-up for Miss Alaska 1982 wasn't anymore telling than Bush's first meeting with Putin when he "looked into eyes and saw deep into his soul" and KNEW that he could trust him!!

A new out-of-wedlock pregnancy in this right-wing Christian, let-US-tell-you-how-to-live-your-life Republican family, along with a good chance it wasn't the first one, since evidence points to the youngest Palin child, may have been the daughter's anyway might be helping them completely devolve into the chaos that Bush/Cheney pictured for the GOP nearly 8 years ago. Throw in the investigation of Ms. Palin in Alaska, and the word now that her husband had a DUI arrest several years ago, and you would think that we could just WALTZ Barack and Michelle right into the front door of the White House.

But, fellow Democrats, as I have been saying for MONTHS now....the ONLY way we can lose this election is to BEAT OURSELVES!!! And we MUST NOT sit on our laurels and allow the next Bush presidency to become reality and completely destroy what is left of our Constitution!!

We cannot drop our guard, and get soft on the issues, the phone calls, the door knocking or the donations. And for SURE we cannot let up on the blogging, because sometimes it is the only place where one can ever find the complete truth!!

Barack and Joe NEED OUR HELP, no matter HOW much the GOP'ers want to rock us to sleep by completely self-destructing.

I want this country back on the right track, and it can only happen if WE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

How does that sound??

Can We Really Trust These Poll Numbers?

Cato Meador — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 01:04:56 EDT

First and foremost. All of my prayers and good thoughts are going out to all of the people on the Gulf Coast. God be with them in these trying and dangerous times.

Now, I keep seeing online and on TV about how 'close' this election is, according to the polls. But these polls have to be faulty.

Polls have there base in previous 'models'. How the country trended in past elections is taken into consideration, and then they build from there.

Not included in these 'models' is the large number of young people that Barack Obama brought into our primaries for the first time, just as it doesn't include the extremely large increase, during our primaries, in the number of African-American voters who turned out.

Both of these groups together combine to create a large hole within the numbers that the poll companies continue to release. I honestly believe they are HEAVILY skewed.

I really have to think that when I see John McCain's choice for a running mate. His campaign KNOWS that putting a woman on the ticket, that has NO tolerance for reproductive rights of women and loves to be photographed with assault rifles, will NOT bring many, if any, Hillary Clinton supporters to their cause.

The Palin choice is nothing short of minimizing the down-ballot losses in November. It was made to shore up the Republican base. The right-wing fanatics who think the Constitution is just an irritating little document on display at the National Archives! Otherwise, they would have put someone up for nomination that actually has at least SOME credible and relevent experience to bring to the job.

The idea of putting an empty resume on the ballot otherwise makes no sense at all.

And I believe it is because that their 'internal' polls are telling the GOP that McCain is a lost cause, so salvage whatever you can. George W. Bush has successfully put his party on the ledge of complete self-destruction and he has done it nearly single-handedly.

And I also believe that the Obama campaign is seeing the same things.

In other words, (as if anybody really cares, of course), I believe that this campaign is nowhere NEAR close. Polls looked really close in 1980, but the night before the election, President Jimmy Carter shed tears, while on Air Force One, when told by his people that there was NO way that they could win the election.

And as I remember.....sadly for sure......it turned out a Ronald Reagan landslide!

Bringing out the White Queen

Private Joker — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:08:41 EDT

In chess, you know you're dealing with an amateur when a player opens up his beginning game by streaking the queen across the board. Although it may daunt another amateur player, more experienced players see it as an opportunity to gain the immediate upper hand, as an out of position, unprotected piece can easily be exploited in a variety of maneuvers. It also leaves the aggressor's king exposed, and the subsequent back-pedaling will end up costing many moves. The board can be set for a check mate relatively quickly if one responds properly.

The political game is much like chess. Aggressive gambits always seem to fail one way or another. John McCain's amateurish choice of Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate is one such move. It might seem a bit daunting to Democrats worried about the white female vote, but ultimately this assertive maneuver backfires for several reasons.

What WILL The Republicans Do?

Cato Meador — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:42:43 EDT

WHAT A CONVENTION!! The DNC and the Obama campaign set the bar SO high for ALL future conventions.....but that isn't my point right now.

The Republicans, next week, will have such an impossible task, as to try to keep the American people from going to sleep or just change the channel. They can talk about 'celebrities' all they want, but our speakers ARE not just 'celebrities'.....hell, they are SUPERSTARS!!!

Michelle Obama? Teddy Kennedy? Hillary Clinton? Al Gore? The 'GOP' which has allowed itself to be obliterated by George W. Bush, have NOTHING like these people.

President Bill Clinton?....ROCK STAR!! And NOW...Barack Obama? The NEXT President of the United States? EVER BIT THE ROCK STAR, himself!!!

Now, the GOP can take their band of misfits to the convention, and try to not be completely overshadowed by the Democrats who KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!

Picture this. After 80,000+ people in Mile High Stadium, along with what I am sure will be some HUGE numbers of Americans watching Senator Obama's acceptance speech....a complete SEA of AMERICANS in high definition, the Republicans now get to go to their venue and try to make Barack look like some 'celebrity'. But this is not possible any longer. Their little crowds inside with TV cameras, will show so many of the differences between, not only the two conventions, but in depth, compassion, and make America actually see who the REAL 'ELITESTS' are!

And that crowd may even be smaller if they can't drag a bunch of their male delegates out of the men's room at the airport......imagine all that FOOT TAPPING..........

CONGRATULATIONS DEMOCRATS!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!!!!!

McCain's Nomination For VP IS...

Letitrip — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:35:48 EDT

CONDI RICE!

Not Eric Cantor or Meg Whitman. Pawlenty, but CONDI RICE makes more sense!

And McCain's convention is in my home town of Dayton, Ohio! Montgomery County. Arghhhh. Probably held at Hara Arena, where I used to go to concerts, basketball games and watch hockey with my great grandfather. If I went back there, I could gather a small army (my mother came from a family of 13 children) and storm that place. :O

BARACK OBAMA OFFICIALLY NOMINATED PRESIDENT

Letitrip — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:27:39 EDT

Not only is Barack Obama the official nominee for President for the United States Democratic party; he's the first black ever to be nominated to this position. This is history and every one was gushing tears. This really is a time of healing and a time of unity. No one can stuff that away anymore; we are united. I was so overwhelmed, the tears came flooding. I'm so happy for Barack and his family. We, this democratic party, not the Republican party, but THIS Democratic Party was the first diverse party that worked together to support a black man. The Democratic party did this, not the Republican party, but us! Has that hit you yet?? We are a party that doesn't see color, or gender; they do and wanted to make a big deal out of it. You won't see McCain nominating a black, or a woman. So, this is an amazing statement to the people of the democratic party that we just made, we led the way. Now, it's going to seep into the bowels of this country. We are one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for ALL.

We have to be grateful to Hillary too. She fought a hard campaign and was so very gracious giving this beautiful gift to Barack. She didn't hesitate in grabbing that mike and taking charge in reading the proclamation to nominate Barack. My heart swells with grief, pride and joy simultaneously. We lost a beautiful sister, but gained a beautiful brother. And in gaining that brother, we made leaps of unity.

Right after the Democratic Roll Call and this monumental nomination, what would have the audacity to slap my tearful senses and stop my melting into the floor? McCain's commercial arrived on my television screen, picking on Barack for not taking Hillary as a VP. Can you believe it, I thought? This dark haired girl proclaims, "Now go ahead and vote him (McCain), it's ok, really." And walks off.

So yeah, so let's mirror this, like I keep preachin! "Go ahead, vote Barack, really, it's OK, and EVEN Hillary said it's ok. Really I saw it with my own eyes, it's okay, REALLY!" Then walk off and vote.

Can you imagine what this will do to Shawn Hannity and Rush Limbaugh? Fat guys are having coronary day!

Celebrate! Cheer! Rejoice! I am. :)

McCain's Agenda Today Is To ATTACK Obama's Funding

Letitrip — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:21:33 EDT

Here's a portion of 2 messages I got from McCain's manager: Rick Davis

(warning - they're shaking in their knee boots...you know, the ones they wear to walk thru their own sh@t).

"My opponent broke his pledge to the American people to accept public financing during the general election - a pledge I have kept. The Obama Democrats are raising unprecedented amounts of money. They and their liberal special interest allies - Big Labor, MoveOn.org, Hollywood elites and other left-wing groups - plan to spend nearly $1 BILLION in an effort to mow over Republican candidates with negative and misleading attack ads that will play non-stop across our country's airwaves from now until Election Day (LOL, how many Hillary commercials have they done? I heard today it's FIVE! Carry on!)

- especially in the essential swing states. Despite what the Obama Democrats and the liberal media would have you believe, my campaign and the RNC rely on the generous voluntary contributions of Republican activists like you for the support we need to answer their barrage of assaults with the truth. Our immediate goal is to reach 2 million individual supporters by the night our Convention ends - September 4th.

After naming his running-mate, Senator Joe Biden, our campaign believes Senator Obama will receive a bump in polling numbers after this week's Democratic Convention in Denver. Senator Obama's bump in the polls means we need to re-double our efforts this week as we head into our own Convention starting September 1st. We're focused on electing the man we all know is ready to lead, a man who puts his country before all else, John McCain. (NOT!) That's why I'm asking you to make an immediate donation to our campaign As of September 1st, we'll be limited in the amount of money we can spend to elect John McCain. Senator Obama broke his promise to accept federal funds and will be able to spend WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DEFEAT US. (EXPLAINS WHY THEY'RE WEARING THEIR PUTTING ON THEIR HIP WADERS, THEY'RE GOING TO GET FLOODED!!) Any amount you can give today - up to the legal limit of $2,300 will go a long way. (LOL. THEY AREN'T ASKING FOR $5, $10, BUT SUGGESTING $2,300...YOU KNOW, POCKET CHANGE!!! THEY JUST DON'T GET IT, DO THEY??)

How does this link to the invasion of Annenberg crap here today, here's how...

Hillary will get another chance...trust me

Private Joker — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:51:21 EDT

...be it in 2012, or 2016. But in the meantime, let's vote Obama in 2008. We can't let the Republican Party divide us.

Hillary delivered a powerful message last night and was brilliant, as usual. It was not just a message to her supporters. It was a call for this party to realize its true potential as a majority party, capable of fixing this nation's grave problems. We have a responsibility to answer the call.

Heed Hillary's wise words Democrats. LET's THROW THESE REPUBLICAN BUMS OUT!

P.S. Chelsea for Congress!

Aug 3-8 Time Line Bush Doesn't Want You To Know

Letitrip — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:57:08 EDT

Here's the crucial time line that started the delivery of Georgia attacks against Russian peace keepers already (legally) stationed in South Ossetia. Keep in mind there were 500 peace keepers from each group (Russia, Georgia and Ossetia) inside of South Ossetia for the last 15 years and enjoying independence.

The time line starts before Aug. 3, 2008 (with Georgia-South Ossetia, then fast forward to Georgia-Russia conflict), but Bush and Condi Rice don't want

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT of BARACK OBAMA FOILED

These guys wanted to assassinate Barack Obama last night.

They want to HURT...

THESE PEOPLE!

MICHELLE OBAMA IS NO WHINER

Letitrip — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:56:36 EDT

Michelle is the bomb!

I think we can end this thing, here and now! She's going to be the highlight of this whole convention. SHE DELIVERED. She's gorgeous inside and out. She's already brought my tears and humbled me and inspired me. Today as I ironed, I thought about how she seemed...well, I thought cold, but that's not it, then I thought strong or unfriendly, but no, that's not it! After watching the documentary tonight, it answered that question of who she is: she learned from her father to be respectful at all cost. So, she reserved and respectful and graciousness to each person she meets. That's not cold, or unfriendly, it's smart.

She will be someone that little girls aspire to and her two daughters are already off to a good start with this great mama. Her mother should be very honored and proud. I cried when her mom said she looks up to her daughter, my mom just said this very comment to me. This Michelle and Michelle Obama have good mom's.

Wonderful job Michelle. Excellent! You're the bomb. I felt your passion for your man, for working hard and desire to save our country (this poor struggling country and hated country due to the cowboy in the capitol who likes to saber rattle...Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Georgia, but still failed to do Pakistan and find his friend and bro Osama Bin Laden).

Funny too, I posted this way before someone else here, they posted it negatively and I got bumped off and he received more comments, go figure. Maybe I should switch my methods here, people are drawn and love the negativity. Why I'm leaving soon...

Law Suit Filed Against Barack - Hold The Delegates?

Letitrip — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 07:05:15 EDT

Philip J. Berg, a Hillary Clinton supporter, and PA Attorney announced he's filing a federal lawsuit, claiming that Obama lost his citizenship when his mother relocated the family to Indonesia when Barack was a boy.

Here's what Berg filed (acting alone) and his argument. After reading this, if there are any attorney's present, please give us your thoughts about this action. Did anyone even pursue due diligence? Thank you in advance. (I noticed on pg 5, he inserted the wrong age, then Maya? was born after he was, so she can't testify that she was present at his birth. But he claims the birth certificate that BO presents is a fraudulent one, it belongs to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama's half-sister. Does BO have another Kenyan sister that would have attended his birth? His mother was age 18, and if he had 2 siblings that attended his birth, making him the 3rd child, she would have started her family at age 14. LOL. I know he has a large family, I just don't recall the numbers.)

Finally! The Convention is Here!!

Cato Meador — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 02:01:18 EDT

I can only wish that I was joining those of you that are delegates in Denver. However, I will be taking my usual place, in front of my TV, as I have since I was 5 years old.

This is one that I will feel some melancholy about, though, as it is SO MONUMENTAL and of such HISTORICAL significance and even more than the first Clinton convention, I wish my Daddy was here to watch it on my 52" High Definition television with me. He was an old fashion Democrat, but I believe that he would have evolved so much, had he lived past 1989. And not only would he have been a Clinton Democrat like me, but he would have been even more pissed about the Lewinski mess.....and able to get past it. He would be excited about Obama, after he would have voted for Hillary in the primary.

I am hoping for as much party unity as we can get in the Mile High City, because that is what Daddy always wished for, and the thing that he preached to me my entire life. He pointed out how the loss of it turned into the chaos of the 1968 convention. We also originally thought the 1972 convention was caused by the same thing. But later we were both convinced that it was the will of the criminal organization, known as the Nixon Administration, that successfully infiltrated our ranks in a successful effort to determine which Democrat that they wanted to run against, that caused that mess.

My biggest concern is the idea by PUMA and others that are willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and vote for John McCain. In their zeal to "fix the party" in hopes that in 4 years Hillary can come along and beat McCain, they continue to ignor just how bad just 4 years of a McCain Administration could be!

They are not concerned about one or two more right-wing radicals being named to the Supreme Court. This would affect SCOTUS and the national judiciary for at least a generation, and there would be NO FIX that Hillary would have in 4 years.

They ignore how many more of our kids they will be sacrificing to an occupation of Iraq, if McCain is allowed to put his open ended Iraq policy into practice. Even though Hillary COULD fix that, how many more have to die to make a political point? That is a Republican mindset, not anything that the Democratic Party has ever supported.

And what could be worse, they ingore the fact that John McCain would be 72 when he is sworn-in to office, and there is a good chance the pressure of the job might keep him from even completing a term. That said, whatever right wing neo-con that he has to pick to shore up the religious fanatics on the fringe required to be elected, even WITH the help of disgruntled Dems. A young Republican that would have a GREAT chance of re-election in 4 years, whether Hillary runs or NOT!

I love Hillary! I am a Clinton Democrat and proud of it! But I am a Democrat, first and foremost. More importantly, this election cycle is......I support the only party that can KEEP America from having to endure 4 more years of this national nightmare. For THAT purpose, call us Democrats, anti-Republicans, Bush haters but maybe the best moniker to hang on us would be....AMERICA LOVERS!

But as usual.....that's just me........

HAVE FUN AT THE CONVENTION, and occassionally, wave at this old Texas fart when the TV camera passes by! (Don't concern yourself if it is a FOX cam.....I wouldn't see it anyway...LOL).

Hillary Sends a Message

Letitrip — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:35:27 EDT

I want to congratulate Joe Biden on becoming the vice presidential running nominee. Joe is a friend and colleague, a strong experienced leader and a devoted public servant. I look forward to not only seeing him in Denver next week but on the trail as I work to help Barack Obama and Joe Biden along with many other Democratic candidates campaign this fall.

Democrats are going to have a great and unified convention in Denver next week, and I can't wait to be there. I am looking forward to visiting my friends and colleagues from New York, stopping by events like the Emily's List reception, and doing everything I can to champion Barack Obama along the way. Of course, I will also be getting ready for my speech to the convention on Tuesday night. You can see for yourself by following my convention activities on our website at HillaryClinton.com, as well as on social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter.

And I'm very excited to meet Joseph Gerou, a second grade teacher from Kenosha, Wisconsin, who won our contest and will be joining me in Denver. I am looking forward to hearing more from him and so glad he can join me for this historic event.

I can't thank everyone enough for your generous support over the past few weeks. It means so much to me personally to know that I can count on your continued friendship as I work hard to help elect Barack Obama and our other Democratic candidates in 2008. I wish you could all come with me to Denver. So I hope you will do the next best thing and stay tuned. Please keep coming back to the website to see all we are doing. I will be updating you regularly with photos, video, email and more.

This is going to be a week to remember filled with many memorable and exciting moments as Democrats come together. I hope you will join me in celebrating.

Thank you again for your hard work and your generous spirit.

Sincerely,

Hillary

Change is happenin!
