			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As usual, the <em>Left</em> is lying about the extension of unemployment benefits to the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs. They are trying to use this sensitive issue as a cynical election year ploy to paint Republicans as horrible ogres who don’t care about people in need. We can’t really be surprised; we all remember the motto of the Obama administration &#8211; “<strong><em>a crisis is a terrible thing to waste</em></strong>.”
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The Democrats (a.k.a. pathological liars) and their allies in the mainstream media have been pretty successful in claiming that Republicans don’t want to extend unemployment benefits. As we all know, the Republicans just want the benefits to be paid for by <strong><em>cutting other spending</em></strong>. When the Democrats rejected that common sense proposal, the Republicans suggested that the billions upon billions of unspent “stimulus” dollars be used; Democrats rejected that proposal as well. They actually claimed with a straight face that the “stimulus” is for creating new jobs.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The fact of the matter is that the stimulus has never been about creating jobs or quick-starting the economy. The stimulus has always been nothing more than an Obama/Democrat slush fund. The main reason that less than half of the $787 billion emergency stimulus has been spent is because Obama and the Democrats are saving it for the 2010 and 2012 elections. This October, a large chunk of that unspent stimulus cash will be released. It will go to big city Obama loyalists. It will be used as get out the vote money. It will be used to fund the extensive voter fraud that the Democrats are so known and loved for. It will be used to fool the ignorant masses into believing that Democrat policies are working.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Using this money (stimulus) to extend unemployment benefits without further adding to the deficit? Come on… that’s an outrageous idea that only racist Obama haters could possibly come up with!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Win or lose this November, another large chunk (<em>a much larger one</em>) will be spent in order to get Barack Hussein Obama reelected in 2012. All of the remaining stimulus money will suddenly be used up during the last six months before November 2012. They won’t leave one red cent in the stimulus piggybank!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Predictably, the Republican Party has been pretty ineffectual in getting the truth out about the Democrat’s shameless shenanigans. It’s all been left up to certain elements within Fox News and the alternative media to expose the truth about the politics being played with people’s unemployment benefits. I would wager a fortune that if people whose unemployment benefits are about to expire were polled on how best to extend the benefits, the vast majority would be for cutting other spending or using the stimulus money. Even many dummies probably realize that it will be harder to ever find a job if the deficit and national debt continues to expand at its current rate.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>As always, the despicable liberals in the mainstream media are leaving out half the story in this debate. They are running interference for Obama and the Democrats. By doing this, they are hoping that they can turn the millions of unemployed and their families against the mean spirited Republicans, thus helping Democrats to keep control of the congress this November.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Shame on the Democrats and double shame on the media for exploiting this issue.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A fraud by the name of Richard Blumenthal has been going around for years falsely claiming that he “served in Vietnam.” Blumenthal also happens to be the attorney general of the state of Connecticut, as well as their Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate seat that was held for two centuries by the departing crook, Chris Dodd.The NY Times actually helped to expose this fraud’s false claims of military service. I guess even the NY Times has to print at least one honest new story every few years or so.A video of this creep unequivocally claiming that he served in Vietnam has also surfaced. Apparently he&#8217;s been going around lying about his military service since at least 2003.</p>
<div id="attachment_4335" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/rb.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4335" title="rb" src="http://www.gothamresistance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/rb-300x234.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="234" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Richard Blumenthal: As slippery as he looks!</p></div>
<p>According to the NY Times, Blumenthal received 5 deferments from 1965 to 1970. These deferments allowed him to complete his studies at Harvard – lucky us! In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, Blumenthal was somehow able to land a coveted spot in the Marine Reserves, which according to the Times, virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. So how does Mr. Blumenthal explain the stark differences between reality and the BS that comes out of his mouth? That’s easy – he claims that he may have “misspoken.” Gee, maybe next time I want to impress someone I can misspeak about being a commander on the Space Shuttle Discovery. And this man is a lawyer and an attorney general who throws people in jail?The other day when this story broke, I was watching a news broadcast where they were interviewing Connecticut residents (in other words clueless Democrats) about the Blumenthal story. Basically, they couldn&#8217;t give Damn. Most of them still thought the guy was great! A woman who was identified as being from Greenwich, told the reporter that “there are a lot of men who didn’t serve.” I wanted to reach through the TV and shake her out of her ignorant stupor!Connecticut is such a <em>blue</em> state that there is no doubt in my mind that Blumenthal will win the Senate seat this coming November. Like most liberal northeastern states, Connecticut has a very high tolerance for crooks and corruption in public office. These clowns looked the other way while Chris Dodd was running amok all these years as chairman of the banking committee. After all, Thurston, Rushton, and Hugh benefited right along with him. I also have a personal reason for not liking Richard Blumenthal. He made me do something that I hate doing &#8211; thinking  about Connecticut! Quite frankly, I despise the state and most of the fakes and phonies who live there. Connecticut has always been a state without an identity, so they try their best to steal New York’s. It’s true that many people who reside in the “nutmeg state” (even their nickname is embarrassing) moved there from New York. The problem is that when you leave a place thirty or forty years ago, you should stop identifying yourself with that place. The same goes if your parents came from New York, but you were born and raised in Connecticut. That means that you&#8217;re not a New Yorker, but rather a Connecticuter! To me there’s nothing more annoying than listening to a guy named <em>Brad</em>, wearing pastel yellow shorts with a sweater draped over his shoulders call himself a New Yorker. I actually had the misfortune of  once working with a dufus from Connecticut. Besides the fact that he was an incompetent alcoholic who came to work sloshed everyday, he always falsely referred to himself as a New Yorker even though he wasn’t born here and didn&#8217;t live here. He once justified this by saying that “Connecticut and New York, it’s all the same thing.”If Connecticut wants Richard Blumenthal representing them in the U.S. Senate, they can have him. They deserve him!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The sad fact is that these CEO’s and most others are intimidated by the Obama administration and the congressional Democrats. Sadly, this is what this country has come to in a little over a year since King Obama ascended to the throne. Government is now either in control of industry, in cahoots with industry, or at war with industry.

 

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Several of the companies who have made public comments over the past week regarding the negative financial impact that Obamacare will have on them have been called to the principle’s office to explain their misbehavior to the congressional Democrats.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>How dare these evil and greedy corporations speak out and express their concerns. How dare they attempt to explain the consequences of Obamacare to their employees, stockholders, and to the general public who will ultimately bare the brunt of these outrageous costs via price increases.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>How dare they!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The CEO’s of Verizon, AT&amp;T, Caterpillar, and Deere &#038; Co. were called to testify before the Imperial Congress of the United States of Obama on April 21<sup>st</sup>. They were ordered to bring along all incriminating proof of their misdeeds – E-mails, memos, financial reports, their medical records, and high school yearbook pictures.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This is all part of the damage control that Obama and the Democrats are doing since they rammed the disastrous healthcare reform bill down America’s throat. It’s also about intimidating those who don’t quietly go along with the program. There’s no doubt that pompous Democrat congressmen will try to bully the CEO’s while portraying them as greedy capitalist pigs that care more about their bottom lines than they do about fairness and the health of their employees.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Why are these CEO’s agreeing to this? Why don’t they take a stand and tell congress to go to hell? Why don’t they tell congress that they also have first amendment rights?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The sad fact is that these CEO’s and most others are intimidated by the Obama administration and the congressional Democrats. Sadly, this is what this country has come to in a little over a year since King Obama ascended to the throne. Government is now either in control of industry, in cahoots with industry, or at war with industry.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Kind of sounds a bit like fascism – doesn’t it?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If I were an employee of one of these companies (Verizon, AT&amp;T, Caterpillar, Deere) and was being laid off, I would be furious if any Obama supporter kept his or her job. In a fictional world where justice and karma rule, the ignoramuses who voted for Obama would be the first to get a pink slip. They would have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Unfortunately in the real world, good, smart, honest, hardworking people usually have to pay the price for the actions of the bad, stupid, dishonest, and lazy.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

		<description><![CDATA[That whole scene was created by the Democrats in order to goad emotional and frustrated people into doing or saying something stupid. They then planned on using this to offset the visceral anger that the majority of Americans have towards them and the Obama administration.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the Democrats were getting ready to pass Obamacare last Saturday, they were also busy concocting a scheme to deflect the avalanche of anger that they knew was headed their way after the vote was passed.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>They created an outrageous production where they used the black members of their caucus to exploit the civil-rights movement of the 1960’s. Pelosi and other white socialists joined hands with black socialists and decided to defiantly walk right through the crowd that was gathered outside of the Capital instead of taking the underground tunnel that runs from their offices to the House Chamber. They did this in order to provoke reactions from the white racist protesters also known as Tea Party members.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>When Pelosi led her despicable colleagues through the ignorant unwashed masses, they were met with shouts of “kill the bill” as well as other phrases showing their disgust at what they knew was about to happen.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>As a result of their staged march through the crowd, three horrific incidents supposedly occurred:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<ul>
<li>Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) claimed that he was spit on by a protestor.</li>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<li>Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) claimed that he was called a “nigger” 15 times. (I wonder if Lewis had one of those click-counters in his pocket.)</li>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<li>Then there’s ole Barney Frank (D-Ma.) who claimed that a protestor called him a “faggot.”</li>
</ul>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>So far, only the Barney Frank allegations have been substantiated by other witnesses.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>As far as Rep. Cleaver’s claim that he was spit on, the supposed incident was captured on video and promptly put on YouTube. It shows an elderly man cupping his hands and shouting at the procession of Democrats going up the steps of the Capital.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Check out the video and judge for yourself. The time frame of when the incident supposedly happens is between 1:15 and 1:25.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p> <p><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/03/27/democrats-using-the-same-old-smokescreen-victimhood-and-racism/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>In my opinion, Rep. Cleaver is not only a liar, but also a pretty damn bad actor. Notice how he only wipes his face when he reaches the top of the steps (1:41) when he&#8217;s sure that the cameras are on him. He waits 16 seconds before wiping the protesters spit off his face, and then he only wipes it with his bare hand instead of using a handkerchief, or even his sleeve. I know that if someone spit in my face, I would wipe it off with whatever was available, then run to the nearest washroom and thoroughly wash my face. But that&#8217;s just me. The protester&#8217;s hands were cupped to amplify his voice as they were well before and after Cleaver passed by. This racist old white guy only spit at Cleaver and not at the other black representatives that passed by him?  The protester was later arrested then released when Cleaver chose not to press charges. He chose to not press charges because he damn well knew that his charges wouldn’t hold up under scrutiny.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Rep. Emanuel Cleaver – you are a race-baiting fraud and a disgrace to the U.S. Congress!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>As for Rep. Lewis’s claim that he was called a &#8220;nigger&#8221; 15 times, I contend that it was either a bald-face lie, or Lewis was suffering flashbacks from 46 years ago when racist southern Democrats were calling him by that name. There is not a single documentation or piece of audio to back up his claims. The mainstream media was also there, and not one of them came forward to verify Lewis’s claims. If they had audio of even one instance of the use of the N word, it would have already been played a billion times on every network affiliate all over the country; not to mention MSNBC and CNN.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Andrew Breitbart of <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/">Breibart.Com</a>, <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/">Bighollywood.Com</a>, <a href="http://bigjournalism.com/">Bigjournalism.Com</a>, and <a href="http://biggovernment.com/">Biggovernment.Com</a>, has offered a personal $10,000 reward to anyone who can produce proof of a single time that the N-word was used towards Lewis. Breibart has also challenged Lewis to take a polygraph test regarding his claim. If Lewis passes the test, Breibart would give $10,000 to the United Negro College Fund.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Mr. Breibart need not worry; he could put that 10 grand towards starting another website because they’ll never come up with any substantiated proof to back up his bullshit claims. While I’m at it, let me say something about Rep. John Lewis. The man is one of the top race-baiters in congress – always has been. (It’s a toss-up between him and Charlie Rangel) In my opinion, he’s an out-and-out racist who for decades has used his connection to Martin Luther King Jr. as a shield against criticism from his anti-white and anti-Semitic diatribes.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Now we come to ole Barney Frank. There is supposedly verification from other witnesses that someone did indeed call him a “faggot.” The person who called Frank that name was wrong for doing so. However, Barney Frank is in fact Gay; he’s totally “out” and doesn’t shy away from his sexual orientation. So why is using this inappropriate term to describe Barney Frank treated as a far worse slander than calling someone a “Hitler” or “Nazi” or “War Criminal” when it’s obvious that the person is none of the above. Why is being called an ugly word to describe a gay person worse than being called a mass murderer of millions of people? I’m specifically referring to the slanderous names that the left used to describe George W. Bush for eight long years. Bush was also accused of masterminding 911 because he didn’t run out of a classroom fast enough. Rush Limbaugh and other prominent conservatives and Republicans have also been called killers in one way or another. In this particular case with Barney Frank, it was one moron among thousands who called him a “faggot.” In contrast, members of the mainstream media have called George W. Bush a Nazi, Fascist, War Criminal, etc. Again, which is more slanderous, more irrisponsible, more offensive? I contend that I would be much more offended and angry if someone called me a murderer, rapist, or Nazi, than if they called me a “honky” or “cracker” – after all, I am white!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If Barney Frank and his ilk are so upset by the term “faggot”, why aren’t they front and center complaining about the decades long use of the word by black “rap” or “hip-hop” artists? Can it be because blacks are overwhelmingly Democrats so Barney will put up with the word for political purposes? Spare me the phony outrage Barney!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>That whole scene was created by the Democrats in order to goad emotional and frustrated people into doing or saying something stupid. I believe that they would have loved it if some whacko from the crowd took a shot at somebody – as long as they weren’t the ones that got hit. If the last year has proved anything, it’s that these left-wing zealots would do or say just about anything to discredit or destroy their opposition. The ends justify the means times a thousand!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I’m not buying any of this bull, and neither should anyone else!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rep. John Dingell (D) from Michigan’s 15<sup>th</sup> Congressional District let slip exactly what most of us already knew about the motives of America’s hard-left.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Marxism, Communism, Progressivism, etc. thrive on controlling the population. That’s precisely the reason that they went after healthcare first, and at all costs. If you can control people’s healthcare, it builds a foundation or infrastructure to start controlling other aspects of private life.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Controlling our lives – make no mistake that this is exactly what our Marxist president and his like minded cronies are attempting to do. No longer can the left-wing establishment and the media feign indignation when we call these people what they are. Obama let slip during his presidential campaign when he told some plumber who I wish not to give any more publicity to that <strong>“I think when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Now representative Dingell who resembles one of the corpses from Night of the Living Dead, has also let his tongue run away from his brain and admit the dark secret behind healthcare reform.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Dingell said the following: <strong>“The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 million American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Listen for yourself, but please make sure you have no young children in the room when playing this video. It may cause chronic nightmares and possibly scar them for life.

<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p> </p>
<p>There you go; nothing like a senile old Commie windbag to let the truth slip out. This guy is not only a poster-boy for term limits, (in office since 1955) but he’d probably also make a good pitchman for poligrip and depends.

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s an old trick that’s been used for centuries by sociopaths, criminals, tyrants, and those on the far left of the political spectrum.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Quite simply, the trick is to accuse someone of doing what you do, or what you plan on doing. For instance, a ruthless dictator may accuse his opposition of killing innocent people right before he goes on a genocidal rampage. Then there&#8217;s the crooked employee who is stealing from the company putting out rumors about how another employee is a thief.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Then you have Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and most of the Democrat Party.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Yesterday Reid made the following ridiculous statement in response to the recent jobs report.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>&#8220;Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.&#8221;</strong></span>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p> <p><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/03/06/more-from-the-despicable-harry-reid/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>After receiving criticism for his asinine remark, he went on to say the following:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>“I encourage my Republican friends to remember this critical context before their political reflexes lead them to make claims they know to be false. And I warn them, once again, that this country has no place and no patience for those who <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">root for failure</span></span>.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>  </p>
<p>Harry Reid and the Democrat Party accusing Republicans of rooting for failure &#8211; now I&#8217;ve heard it all!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This is the same despicable liar who went to the Senate floor and said that the “<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">war in Iraq is lost</span></strong>.” He said this in April of 2007 during the height of the troop surge that began to ultimately turn the war around. This reckless and disgusting statement was made at a time when our troops were most vulnerable, and when the enemy most needed encouragement. I recall a part of the war when the Democrats and their lapdogs in the media couldn’t help gushing when the troop fatality level was approaching 1000, then 2000, then 3000…….I remember a left-wing scumbag who I worked with being downright giddy when it was announced that the 2000<sup>th</sup> U.S. troop had lost his life.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I also recall how during Bush’s last couple of years in office, the Democrats did nothing but constantly talk-down the economy. This was being done at a time when the unemployment rate was still around the 5 to 6 percent mark. I also remember the Democrats pooh-poohing job gains of 200,000 per month. I remember Democrats claiming that the Bush economy was the worst since the great depression. Later it actually became worse than the great depression!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Harry Reid is a despicable human being. He is an out and out liar. He has no conscience. He has no shame. He has no honor. He is sleazier than any Hollywood caricature of a politician could ever hope to be.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Unfortunately for Harry Reid, and fortunately for the rest of us, he will be unceremoniously booted out of office this coming November. This scumbag will only be the second majority leader voted out of office since 1952. The other was Reid’s predecessor, and fellow liar and cheat, Tom Daschle in 2004.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I predict that when Reid is thrown out of office this November he’ll say two things.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<ol>
<li>He&#8217;ll accuse the people of Nevada for being too dumb to know what’s good for them.</li>
<li>He&#8217;ll blame the news media and claim that there’s a rampant conservative bias.</li>
</ol>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>What else would you expect from one the most disgraceful politicians in the history of our great country?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Newly elected Senator Scott Brown (R) from Massachusetts has voted with the Democrats along with 4 other so-called Republicans for a $15 billion boondoggle referred to as a Jobs Bill. Most sane people know that this bill will do little to create jobs. The bill is a smokescreen to convince ignorant Americans that Obama and the Democrats are doing something about unemployment. We already had a “jobs bill” – a much larger one. It was referred to as the “stimulus package” and it cost us about $800 billion with little to no results.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>How could Scott Brown do this?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Wasn’t Scott Brown supposed to be the new Ronald Reagan?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Is this the same Scott Brown who many already support for the Republican nomination for president in 2012?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I’m not really that surprised. I just didn’t think that he would pull this so soon – especially on a fiscal issue.  Glenn Beck is already on the warpath calling Brown a “progressive.” Beck is adamant that Brown is not a “liberal” Republican, but a progressive Republican. As opposed to an unnamed woman that Beck spoke of today that works for him and calls herself a liberal libertarian – an asinine statement that Beck accepts at face value.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>More on Beck later……..
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Three of the four other Republicans who voted for this $15 Billion increase to the budget deficit are the usual suspects; Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, and George Voinovich of Ohio. The fourth and only real surprise is Kit Bond of Missouri.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Is Scott Brown a conservative? Of course he isn’t – never was. The only people who convinced themselves that he was were either overenthusiastic conservatives who were blinded by the dramatic circumstances of his election and the supposed death of healthcare, or left-wing idiots like Chuck ‘the schmuck’ Schumer who called Brown a “right-wing teabagger.”
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Is Scott Brown still far better than Martha Coakley or Ted Kennedy?</p>
<p>You bet he is!</p>
<p>Will he occasionally piss off conservatives by voting with the Democrats?</p>
<p>You bet he will!</p>
<p>That’s the reality of Scott Brown and the reality of being a Republican from Massachusetts. Only time will tell just how conservative, moderate, or progressive he really is.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s no doubt that it’s been kind of rough lately for John Edwards and family. Edwards was once one of the highest paid slip and fall trail lawyers in the country. Today he’s probably hiding out in the basement of his 28,200 square foot home in North Carolina. Fortunately for Edwards, the home is said to be the largest home in the country, so he has dozens of spare bedrooms to sleep in.

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Notice that John Edwards the once top Democrat contender for president has been missing from the public spotlight. In a way it’s not surprising due to the fact that Edwards has basically imploded since the 2008 Democrat primaries. </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;">First he was busted with his mistress Rielle Hunter, and then came the story that he fathered a baby with the woman. Today Edwards finally fessed up and admitted that the baby is his. He said: <strong>&#8220;I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves.&#8221;</strong> The child’s name is Frances Quinn Hunter. The little girl and future trust-fund millionaire will be two years old on February 27<sup>th</sup>. </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;">Now the blockbuster book <em>Game Change</em> has made his life even more miserable. The book portrays John and his wife Elizabeth as the two-bit phonies that they are. It also exposes the fake lovey-dovey relationship between the two power hungry attorneys. </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;">There’s no doubt that it’s been kind of rough lately for John Edwards and family. Edwards was once one of the highest paid <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">slip and fall</span> trail lawyers in the country. Today he’s probably hiding out in the basement of his 28,200 square foot home in North Carolina. Fortunately for Edwards, the home is said to be the largest home in the country, so he has dozens of spare bedrooms to sleep in.</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;">Anyway, for the past couple of years the Edwards family hasn’t been able to make the income they’re accustomed to. After the mistress, the baby, and the book, the high paid speaking engagements are a distant memory. </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;">Luckily, Edwards recently found some work in the advertising industry. It’s not the same as suing doctors and tobacco companies, but it will probably come in handy now that he has another mouth to feed.</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;">Here’s Edwards in his new career as a TV pitchman. The woman who plays his wife almost seems to resemble a younger and thinner version of his real wife Elizabeth. </span></span></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;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><p><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/01/21/john-edwards-admits-to-fathering-baby-finds-new-work/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></span></span></span></span></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;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">We here at Gotham Resistance wish John Edwards well in his new career. We feel that the huge gap that was created when the great Billy Mays passed away has yet to be filled. Maybe, just maybe, John Edwards may be the guy to fill it.</span></span></span></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;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Barack Obama isn’t the only Democrat who can turn the “negro dialect” on and off at will. Regardless, Obama is actually half black, so I believe that he has more of a right and reason to use that so called dialect than let’s say…………Hillary Clinton.</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;">Hillary has been kept so out of the spotlight by the Obama administration that I sometimes forget how much chutzpah this woman has. Remember this embarrassing and condescending performance during her quest to get the Democrat nomination for president in 2008? </span></span></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;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><p><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/2010/01/13/speaking-of-%e2%80%9cnegro-dialect%e2%80%9d/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></span></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 thing that baffles me is the reaction from the black audience. If I walked around NYC and put on a phony voice every time I spoke to a black person, I can guarantee that I wouldn’t receive the same reaction as Hillary. Politics does strange things to people. It sometimes makes people upset at things they shouldn’t be upset at, and not upset at things they should be upset at. Go figure…….</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have a slightly different take on the whole Harry Reid fiasco. Don’t get me wrong, Reid is a Grade A scumbag who would knock an old lady from her wheelchair if he thought it would advance his political career. He is the epitome of a sleazy self serving politician who cares only about quenching his thirst for unlimited power.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">  </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Harry Reid, the Democrat Senate Majority Leader was quoted by the authors of an upcoming book titled ‘Game Change’ as saying that Obama had a good chance of being elected president because he (Obama) is a “<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">light-skinned African American with no Negro dialect – unless he wanted to have one</span></strong>.” Reid made this statement during the 2008 campaign for president. When the quote from the book was made public a couple of days ago, Reid made a half-hearted apology which was quickly accepted by Obama. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since the quote came out, Republicans have been shouting from the rooftops about the need for Reid to resign from his post as Senate Majority Leader. Even some Democrats are beginning to turn on Reid. Not because they’re so upset at what he said, but because this incident punches more holes into the hull of an already sinking Democrat ship. Besides calling Reid’s statement racist, his detractors on the Right are mad as hell about the hypocrisy factor. Everyone in their right mind knows that any Republican elected or appointed official would be run out of town on a rail if they made the same statement. Futile as it may be, I don’t blame Republicans for calling for Reid’s head – it’s their job to weaken the Democrat Party in any way they can; a job that they’re usually pretty inept at doing.</span></span></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 for Reid’s comments, I believe that they were pretty accurate except that he left out an important factor. He really should have said that Obama’s light skin and lack of Negro dialect makes him more palatable to <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Democrat voters</span></span></strong>. After all, like Obama, other black Democrats have to run in Democrat primaries before getting the nomination. Darker black men like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson have also ran for the Democrat nomination for president. Needless to say, they both were solidly rejected by Democrat voters. Oh yeah……both Sharpton and Jackson also have the “dialect” that Harry Reid referred to. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<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;">Does the Democrat Party have dark-skinned blacks who were elected to public office? Sure they do, but these people are usually from districts with extremely large black populations. There are dark-skinned blacks who have been serving in congress for decades, but never seem to be interested in running for president. I believe this is partly due to the fact that they know it would be nearly impossible for them to get the nomination. You see, the dirty secret is that it’s the white Democrats who have a problem voting for dark-skinned blacks. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the other hand, Republicans/Conservatives historically tend to not care so much about skin tones as they do about political philosophy and qualifications. It was Republicans who appointed the first black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, (Colin Powell) the first black National Security Advisor, (Colin Powell) the first black Secretary of State, (Colin Powell) the first black female Secretary of State, (Condoleeza Rice) the first black elected to the United States Senate, (Edward Brooke III) the first black elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, (Oscar Stanton De Priest) the first black elected to statewide office in Oklahoma (J.C. Watts). Currently, a black American, Michael Steele, serves as Chairman of the Republican National Committee.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Also, a fact that is seldom taught in our public schools is that a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. If it were solely up to the Congressional Democrats of that time, the bill would have been defeated.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Almost forgot……it was a Republican administration led by a man named Abraham Lincoln which risked the destruction of a nation in order to abolish slavery. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Growing up in New York I have for years witnessed the subtle racism of the liberal Democrat. I was once at a wedding where a twenty-something black guy was totally out of control and acting like a jerk. This guy had everyone squirming in their seats. When I made a comment about his behavior to a liberal woman, she tried to defend him by saying “you have to understand…that’s his culture.” </span></span></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;">So&#8230;it’s in black people’s culture to act like fools? This same woman would have instantly branded me a racist if she knew that I was a Conservative and a registered Republican.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">I’ve had dozens upon dozens of similar experiences with liberal Democrats over the years. It would take too long and probably be too boring, so I won’t go into it any further. Growing up and living in New York I’ve run across hundreds of Harry Reids. I’ve become accustomed to their subtle racism mixed with blatant hypocrisy. I’ve become accustomed to living in their warped world where the meaning of words depends on who is saying them. So, Harry Reid’s recent foot-in-mouth comments don’t really surprise me, and neither does the mind-boggling hypocrisy of the liberal Democrats and the mainstream media. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s incredible what one can get used to. </span></span></p>
