			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Later today, Pennsylvania Democrats will go to the polls to vote for who will represent their pathetic party in November’s United States Senate race. Arlen Specter, the lifetime RINO who finally bolted the Republican Party last year will face off against Congressman Joe Sestak. The pragmatist in me says that it would be better for the GOP if Specter won the primary and faced off against Conservative Pat Toomey this November. However, I sure as hell won’t shed any tears if the self-serving jackass goes down to defeat. Either way, I believe that Arlen Specter is finally toast!</span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Specter is the epitome of a sleazy politician. The man has no core values or principles other than to keep getting reelected at any cost. The fool is so self-obsessed that he actually believed that the Democrats would welcome him with open arms and automatically back him for reelection. As stupid as they are, why would Democrat voters elect an 80 year old buffoon who actually admitted that he changed parties in order to get elected again? Narcissism really clouds the brain &#8211; doesn’t it? Specter actually believes that the people of Pennsylvania can’t survive without him in the Senate. The arrogant politician who seems to care so much about his legacy will now be dragged from the Congress kicking and screaming with no real friends or allies to speak of. His legacy will be that he was a sleaze-bag who couldn’t be trusted by anyone. Ain’t Karma a bitch!</span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">This August, the people of the great state of Arizona will be going to the polls to vote in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate. Hopefully Arizonians will show the door to another windbag RINO who has done nothing but screw his own party (and the rest of the country) for the past decade or so. I’m of course speaking of John McCain, who is even more self-serving and narcissistic than Arlen Specter. McCain is facing a tight primary race against former Arizona congressman J.D. Hayworth. If McCain only knew a year ago that he would be in danger of losing a Republican primary in Arizona after 24 years in the Senate he would probably have joined Arlen Specter and jumped to the Democrat Party.</span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">John McCain was actually a pretty solid conservative early on in his career. The turning point for McCain came when he ran for the Republican nomination for president in 2000 and lost to George W. Bush. After his loss in the primaries, McCain became unglued. He immediately went into attack mode against Conservatives for their support of Bush. McCain showed himself to be a small petty man who believed that he was entitled to certain things just because he was…John McCain.</span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In 2008, John McCain finally got what he thought he was entitled to eight years earlier &#8211; the Republican nomination for President of the United States. In the most important election in modern day American history McCain showed his true colors in going down to a pathetic defeat to the most unqualified and most inexperienced candidate to ever seek the White House – Barack Hussein Obama. John McCain let his country down by putting his ego and his selfish interests ahead of his country; the very opposite of what he claimed he was all about. McCain refused to attack Obama over his radical past and radical America-hating friends and associates. McCain refused to bring up the raving anti-American, anti-white, anti-Semitic, racist Obama pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. You see, McCain was adamant about running an “honorable campaign.” McCain must somehow be confused by the terms honorable and cowardly. When the United States needed John McCain most he crawled into a hole and handed the presidency to a radical progressive rather than fight. McCain was more concerned about maintaining his phony image in the mainstream media; more concerned about being called a racist for denouncing a black racist. In the end, it was all about John McCain – a usual.</span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Being the two-faced politician that he is, John McCain is now trying to convince the angry voters of Arizona that he’s a real conservative, and that they should send him back to the Senate for a fifth and final term. McCain actually has the chutzpah to attempt to convince Arizona voters that he’s tough on illegal immigration. He must really believe that his constituents are as dumb as he is. It was only a few short years ago that McCain teamed up with his one time nemesis Jorge “Los” Bush, and his pal Ted Kennedy, to give amnesty to the millions of illegal aliens who live within our borders. During that time, McCain basically called Americans racists and xenophobes because of their opposition to amnesty. He also cuddled up to La Raza (The Race!) and called illegal immigrants “<em>the backbone of the country</em>.”</span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Fast-forward to 2010; the same John McCain is now trying to convince Arizona voters that he’s against amnesty, and for tough border security and immigration enforcement. The people of Arizona aren’t stupid Mr. McCain! They have finally opened their eyes and are on to your self-serving tactics. They well know that if you win the August primary against J.D. Hayworth, and then go back to the senate, you will stab them in the back once again and join forces with Barack Hussein Obama to pass comprehensive immigration reform – better known as amnesty! Since McCain has already said that this will be his last term, he will be free to run amok without any fear of the voters if he wins reelection. Like he did after the 2000 presidential primaries, he will go on a vendetta against conservatives for daring to put him through the humiliation of having to run in a primary after 28 years in congress.</span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Hopefully, the midterm elections of 2010 will be the real election to finally bring “<em>change</em>” to America. The change will be that we Americans will no longer tolerate entrenched politicians who believe that they’re entitled to their office as well as our money. Hopefully, Arlen Specter and John McCain will finally be shown the door even before Election Day in November.</span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I hope they don’t let the door hit them in their wrinkly old asses on the way out!</span>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">As I predicted last night, the Democrat spin machine is working overtime today after the embarrassing loses in yesterday’s elections. Some of the spin is so outrageous, it must surely mean they are even more desperate than I ever imagined.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The bloated blowhard and Democrat strategist, Bob Beckel was on Fox &amp; Friends this morning spewing his usual propaganda. This moron actually insinuated that the NY 23 race was a referendum on none other than….. Sarah Palin! His reasoning being that Palin was one of the first national figures to come out for the Conservative candidate, Doug Hoffman. Therefore, it was Palin&#8217;s fault that Hoffman lost the race. This is the same Sarah Palin who is now a private citizen after walking away from politics this past July. The same Sarah Palin who is portrayed as such a joke by the Democrats and the media. The only thing that Beckel’s asinine assertion proves, is just how deathly scared the left-wing is of Ms. Palin.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The real story behind the NY 23 race is that the Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman came within a few points of beating both the Democrat and Republican political machines of the 23<sup>rd</sup> district. This is a man who is an accountant by trade and by personality; a political novice with no previous experience in elected or appointed office. Very few people outside of New York’s 23<sup>rd</sup> congressional district ever heard of Doug Hoffman up until a couple of weeks ago when it was discovered by the alternative media that the Republican candidate Dee Dee Suckaface….err Scozzafava was a Liberal Democrat wolf in Republican sheep clothing. I strongly believe that if Mr. Hoffman chooses to stay in politics and runs again in November of 2010, he will easily win the 23<sup>rd</sup> district seat. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bob Beckel and the rest of the left-wing media can try and spin yesterday’s election any way they want. The truth of the matter is that November 3<sup>rd</sup> 2009 may well come to be known as the first crucial battle that led to the defeat of the Democrat Party in 2010, and the defeat of Barack Hussein Obama in 2012. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Referendum on Sarah Palin – my butt!</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s not often that I can say this, but New Jersey finally did something right for a change. Tonight, they threw out one of the most despicable and duplicitous left-wing creeps to ever hold public office. I’m of course referring to the disgusting Jon Corzine.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">I’m actually just kidding about New Jersey. Most of the people in New Jersey are good decent people who just want to live their lives and raise their families. The New Jerseyans that I have a problem with are the liberal idiots who moved over from my city and infected their new home state with their pathetic liberal NY values. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Chris Christie (R)</strong> managed to beat <strong>Jon Corzine (D)</strong> pretty handily (<strong>48.9% to 44.5% with 99% of precincts reported</strong>) in spite of several campaign visits from Obama himself. The question is: Did the Great One’s campaigning help or hurt Corzine? Corzine also had the backing of one of the most corrupt Democrat political machines in the country. I guess they just couldn’t get enough illegal aliens and dead people to the polls this time around. Acorn was also on the ground in Jersey, but evidently they couldn’t stir up enough intensity in the minority communities for a candidate who had never been a community organizer, but who instead made hundreds of millions working at Goldman Sachs. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The fact is that when a Republican wins in a major election in New Jersey and New York, you can pretty much add another two percentage points to their final tally to offset the ballot stuffing and voter fraud of the Democrats. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The first thing we will hear tomorrow from the Obama administration and their lackeys over at MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC, is that this election (NJ) and the election in Virginia don’t mean anything; that they aren’t a barometer of Obama’s popularity. Yeah right – and the moon doesn’t affect the ocean tides! The fact is that the Democrats and Obama lost two states that Obama won easily just one year ago. In Jersey, Obama won by 15 points! The Democrat spin machine will be working in overdrive to pooh-pooh the results of tonight’s election. The DNC will have to adjust their strategy and probably advise Democrats to start acting more “conservative” in advance of next year&#8217;s crucial mid-term elections. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Chris Christie win, as well as the Bob McDonnell win in Virginia, were huge for those of us who wish to stop Obama’s Socialist agenda. This just might make some Democrats in the Congress think twice about voting for the disastrous 1,900 page Senate “healthcare reform” bill. Only time will tell. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">One thing is for sure; this fight against the socialization of our country is far from over. Tonight was just the first battle. The people of this country who love liberty and reject statism and tyranny must keep up the pressure on our elected representatives. The fight between freedom and oppression has been going on for centuries, and it will go on well into the future. The great Thomas Jefferson knew this well when he said “<em><strong>the price of freedom is eternal vigilance</strong></em>.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *</span> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">As I finished writing this post, I noticed that the Democrat Bill Owens has defeated Conservative Doug Hoffman in the NY 23 race. With about 92% of the precincts reporting, <strong>Owens (D) has 49.2%</strong> while <strong>Hoffman (C) has 45.2</strong>. The interesting thing is that the Republican turncoat Dee Dee Scozzafava received 5.5% of the vote even though she dropped out of the race a few days ago and endorsed the Democrat, Bill Owens. The 5.5% who voted for Scozzafava probably represent the kind of Republicans that have nearly ruined the party over the past several years. I wish they would do what Arlen Specter did and finally join the Democrat party already! </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s getting very late – gotta get some sleep…………………Therefore, I absolve myself of any stupid spelling, grammar, or any other mistakes that I may or may not have made in this post.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Just when it seemed that Republicans could take back the New Jersey governorship, a “third party” candidate may well throw a monkey wrench into the mix and pave the way for the Democrats to stay in power. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Over the past couple of decades, New Jersey has become a pretty blue state. This is in part due to the influx of Liberals from New York and immigrants (legal and illegal) from Mexico, South America, and the Third World. Now that New Jersey has been run into the ground by the Democrats and the despicable and incompetent Jon Corzine, people are finally starting to wake up. <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Better late than never &#8211; I guess!</em></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">For all of you Michael Moore loving Liberal morons; let me give you a bit of information on Mr. Corzine that you probably didn&#8217;t hear on MSNBC. When Corzine was pushed out of the evil, profit-driven Goldman Sachs in 1998, he left with a $400 million “golden parachute.” You know – the kind of golden parachutes that have been vilified by Barack Obama, hypocritical Democrats, and the corrupt media. A couple of years later he was sitting in the New Jersey Governor’s mansion.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">A month or so ago, it seemed that the hapless Republicans had an excellent shot at beating Jon Corzine. The Republican challenger Chris Christie had a 7 point lead in the polls. Then&#8230;&#8230; “Independent” Chris Daggett started to get “traction” in the media. The race is now neck and neck between Christie (R) and Corzine (D) with Daggett (I) having virtually no chance to win. According to a Rasmussen poll released this past Tuesday, (10/20) Christie gets 41% &#8211; Corzine 39% &#8211; and Daggett 11%. As is usually the case, the third party candidate will accomplish nothing more than being a spoiler; thus helping the Democrat incumbent retain power. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The really annoying and ironic thing about this three man race is that the Independent candidate, Chris Daggett, has just about the same exact political philosophy and proposals as the Liberal Democrat, Corzine. Did anyone else notice that “independent” candidates almost always lean to the left? My theory is that since liberalism has become the default political philosophy of the United States, “independent” candidates are fearful of espousing even one view that may be considered “conservative.” In other words; most independent candidates are gutless phonies who believe that the “independent” label gives them a shield of moral superiority. Notice when Ralph Nader runs for office under the Green Party label, he doesn’t hide the fact that his views are to the <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">left</em> of the Democrat Party. On the rare occasion that a third party candidate runs under the Conservative Party line, (where there is such a line) the candidate doesn’t hide the fact that he or she is to the <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">right</em> of the Republican candidate. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Speaking of phony self-proclaimed Independents, Lou Dobbs has actually come out for fellow independent Chris Daggett in the New Jersey Governor’s race. Mr. Dobbs, who claims to have no love lost for Jon Corzine, doesn’t seem to care that Daggett shares Corzine’s tax and spend philosophy. I find it incredible when people like Dobbs claim that both political parties (Republican and Democrat) are the same, and tell people that party labels don’t mean anything; yet somehow want everyone to believe that the <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Independent </em>label means everything. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Currently, there are two “independents” in the United States Senate. They are Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. Both of these Senators are as phony as a three dollar bill, and both are as liberal as you can get. Sanders is actually an avowed Socialist! Both of these clowns adopted the independent label for different reasons. Sanders because he knew he couldn’t get elected to the congress as a Socialist, and Lieberman because his own party (the Democrats) threw him under the bus. In New York City, we have the liberal elitist Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who became an independent after using the Republican line to get elected on the coat-tails of Rudy Giuliani in November of 2001. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Chris Daggett doesn’t stand a chance of getting elected governor of New Jersey. He will likely however, make it possible for the left-wing Jon Corzine to squeak back into office. The independent label has for the most part, turned into a ruse used by liberals in order to hide their true views from a politically dumbed-down electorate; an electorate that has somehow come to believe that &#8220;independents&#8221; aren&#8217;t <em>real</em> politicians, and therefore more honest and pragmatic than the garden-variety Democrat or Republican. A very idealistic view &#8211; but sooooo naive! </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">I truly hope that the voters of New Jersey won’t be fooled by this “independent” scam and do the right thing for themselves by throwing Corzine and his cronies out of office. But then again – I’m probably hoping for too much. </span></span></p>
