Good mornin y'all.

Perry's stance on illegals help???

I doubt it. It didnÂ’t help GWB or McCain with the Hispanic crowd, why would it help Perry?

3

This poll was over in the sidebar yesterday and has made it to Drudge now

I am posting a link just to remind folks that this is an “on-line” poll so take it with a grain of salt.

Joke of the day headline from The Hill

Conservative Democrats try to persevere amid low Obama poll numbers

Keep in mind the PR rags consider a Dem ‘conservative” is they are pro-life. Sure they can be a dyed-in-the-wool Communist but if they are pro-life communist they are “conservative”.

Bachmann says terrorists are installing camps and missile sites in Cuba

Too bad she has made herself totally unbelievable.

Bachmann was referring to a report in the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, which claimed that Hezbollah was setting up a base in Cuba to target Israelis in Latin America. The article was circulated on some conservative blogs, but did not report that Hezbollah planned to import weapons; rather, the terror operation was said to be oriented around intelligence collection, coordination of the groupÂ’s logistics in Latin America and identification forgery.  

The report doesnÂ’t sound that credible to begin with. I just wish we had a decent administration in office now that I could trust to really investigate this.

6

Gingrich outlines his new "contract"

Funny nothing in there about sitting on the couch with Pelosi.

7

Taxpayers are footing the bill for Obama's campaign tour in the West

Even the press called this a campaign tour. This is blatantly illegal. But so what, we already know he can do anything at all. The press will not report it and the Republicans will fold like a cheap suit.

8

Washington Post discusses the Fat Man's record as governor so far

If you folks think that Perry is getting mauled for some items that offend the base, take a look at these little gems. F&F sounding like they love Christie now instead of Romney. They also played a long rambling response from Palin last night about running that really meant nothing. Hey pollsters, take her out of the polls, as well as everyone else who consistently polls less than 5% and debate sponsors, do the same thing for the “debates”.

I think Fox is pushing all this shit just to stir up controversy to “sell soap”.

9 Morning kids. Has Bev Perdue declared martial law yet? Let me know via postcard from your local internment camp.

10 And before you ask, Vic, the straw poll is queued up and ready to go. Just giving the top headlines time to breathe.

11

Heritage speculates as to why the Obamanites gave up delaying tactics on the Obamacare case

I think the last bullet is the most likely. Given a Republican win in 2012 if the case is delayed until after the election it may elect to do one of those non-defense defenses.   IOW, throw the case. That has become popular lately with both parties.

12

And finally I got my copy of the 2012 Old FarmerÂ’s Almanac yesterday. DonÂ’t have a link because couldnÂ’t find one but here is what they are saying for the upcoming Winter:

Southeast coastal – Mild & snowy

Most of the Central U.S. – mild and dry

Mid-Atlantic and NE coastal – Cold & snowy

Extreme NE (Maine) – Mild & snowy

Northern Mid-West (W) – Cold and snowy

Northern Mid-West (E) – Mild and snowy (Chicago area)

Northern West (Wyoming/Montana) – Mild & snowy

Northwest – Mild & wet

CA SF to LA – Cool & wet

Southwest – Cool & dry

In short, for most of the country they are predicting fairly normal weather this Winter. I would also point out that their predictions are much more accurate than the National Weather Service. Of course, the base their predictions on sun cycles and not CO2.

13 Gabe, almost the end of the month now. Gonna do a fresh poll?

14 And before you ask, Vic, the straw poll is queued up and ready to go. Just giving the top headlines time to breathe.

LOL, too late Gabe I already hacked in the request.

Thanks

15 If Scooby Doo has taught me anything, it's that there's nothing to be afraid of except crooked real estate developers.

What about crooked loggers trying to buy Jellystone National Park?

16

I doubt it. It didnÂ’t help GWB or McCain with the Hispanic crowd, why would it help Perry?

It might help Perry in the general, but first he's got to get the nomination.  And Hispanics are not going to be voting in the primaries - especially here up north.

17 It might help Perry in the general,

Not a chance

Yea I saw that interview and was well, unimpressed. I'm over Sarah. Really. All except the hardcore knows she's only trying to drum up takers for future books, speaching engagements, etc... Run, Sarah, Run (back to AK)

20 I'm pretty sure that pro-life Democrat doesn't mean what you think it means

21 In other news... Nancy Grace kept on all her clothes on DWTS.

22 Yeah Bart, you are a fine example of the MFM's "conservative Democrat". You with your ACU rating of 8.

23 Yea I saw that interview and was well, unimpressed. I'm over Sarah.

I like Sarah, but she is doing both herself and the Republican Party a disservice now.

24 In other news... Nancy Grace kept on all her clothes on DWTS.

But she says that wasn't her "nip".

25 If Vic won't remind everyone that Osama Obama is a stuttering clusterf*** of a miserable failure, I will....

26

But she says that wasn't her "nip".

Have scientist managed to replace it with something else? Funny, but I've never seen anything other than a nipple in that location.

What will they think of next?

And good mornin', y'all. Boobehs are a great way to start the day.

27 "...there's nothing to be afraid of except crooked real estate developers."

And circus carneys.

28 Funny, but I've never seen anything other than a nipple in that location.

She says she was wearing "petals" and a bunch of other stuff. In my younger day we called those "pasties".

29 I like Sarah, but she is doing both herself and the Republican Party a disservice now.

I'm over her too.. 

even left C4P as a contributor. 

30 For the next week or so, it may be necessary to preface every discussion of the Republican race with the statement "of course, no one seriously believes Herman Cain can or will be nominated, but..." Just keep it real, folks. That's all I ask.

31 Well morons and 'ettes, I'd rather roll in broken glass and then bathe in lemon juice than go to work but somebody's got to pay Peggy Joseph's mortgage. So, see you later.

32 33rd!

33 Well, if the Supreme Court gets the obamacare case (which one?  the 21 states lawsuit?) and rules against the mandate but allows the rest of the law to go through, what then?  Would make for an interesting election season, for sure!

34 You may have your "Old Farmers Almanac" for weather prediction, but Newt has Nancy.

35 The "Nip Slip" is the new publicity stunt. So I put on a pair of Richard Simmons shorts and had a "Testicle Spectacle" during a dance performance. Not the same effect.

36 Poll up.

At a minimum, seems to me Cain is a candidate for all the right reasons: he is a patriot, has a view of how things ought to be, and believes he is capable of leading the movement to make America a decent, prosperous nation after four years of treason from the stuttering clusterf*** of a miserable failure.

What bothers me is that conservatives/Republicans are becoming a band of Michelle Malkins, stamping their feet in outrageous outrage and shrilly snarking every time their Candidate of the Moment deviates from their concept of ideological purity. It has happened to everyone (except Palin who is either adored because She is Perfect or slammed because she's unready, unwilling and inexperienced), and will happen to whoever leads the polls next week.

Right now, Cain looks good to me, Perry not so much, and the others (declared candidates, anyway) huddle down at the bottom of the pile to be supported only in an emergency.

38

Well, if the Supreme Court gets the obamacare case (which one?  the 21 states lawsuit?) and rules against the mandate but allows the rest of the law to go through, what then?

IIRC, the AG of one of the Carolinas brought a suit against OCare and discovered, to my delight and that of many others, that in their haste to get this bill passed, they neglected to put a "severance clause" in it that would allow parts of it to survive if other parts didn't. That means that if one part is struck down, the entire thing dies.

I certainly hope that's true.

39 The press will not report it and the Republicans will fold like a cheap suit.

I've so fucking had it with every goddamn Repuke in office save a select few like Paul Ryan.  A more useless crew of namby pamby shitheads is hard to imagine. I hope every cocksucking one of them gets primaried, hopefully by somebody that's a bit more competent than the loon that's challenging Boehner, who is probably a good rep but a terrible Speaker.  Letting the donks get away with trying to short-sheet FEMA while preserving all the bullshit green energy scam money and not raising the fucking roof on that?  Do any of these skidmarks understand what an opposition party is supposed to do?

I agree. I like Cain and am kinda hopeful he turns out to be a sleeper and starts to surge. I think if he bumps above Paul in the polls we may see even more people jump on the Cain wagon.

41 I am currently supporting Perry but he sure as hell doesn't meet my "ideological purity" test. He is weak in two vital areas. Cain beats the crap out of him in all the hardcore conservative areas and yes he is still on my short list. But he has some things that keep in from the top:

1. Has a tendency to insert foot in mouth.
2. Significant health issues
3. Weak in "experience" with government.

Note that Perry can still screw up and Cain will move to the top of my list.

42 in their haste to get this bill passed, they neglected to put a "severance clause" in it that would allow parts of it to survive if other parts didn't. That means that if one part is struck down, the entire thing dies.

I certainly hope that's true.

You're correct in that in that, after Scottie Centerfold took over Fat Turdie's seat, the donks didn't have enough votes in the Senate to pass the POS so the House had to pass the unchanged Senate bill which some fuckhead left a severability clause out of.  The bad news is that in one of the state suits, the cocksucking crooked judge ruled that it didn't matter if it was in or not; that they'd treat it as if it was there.  So who the fuck knows what the Supremes will decide.....

43 Don't know why I repeated "in that".

44

I certainly hope that's true.

I've heard various opinions on that severability clause not being specifically in there.  What I gather is that many times it is simply "assumed", and that the court could go either way on it.

The appeals panel on the Florida ruling upheld the ruling that the mandate was unconstitutional, but overturned the finding that the entire law is unconstitutional.

We'll see...

46 off to work! Have a great day all!

47

OK, 'rons 'n 'ettes, I gotta go mine the salt once more.

Have fun and try not to trash the place.

48 Scooby also taught me to be wary of bankers.

The term is "severability clause".

49 Striking the mandate but upholding the rest is the quick way to a National Health Service as the insurance companies will be forced to bail out of the entire sector.

50 Do any of these skidmarks understand what an opposition party is supposed to do? Rhetorical, I know, but this is the most corrupt President since Nixon and not a peep about taking out the trash because of his skin color.

51 Turbo Timmy's (thus Obama's) plan for the Eurozone called "stupid" by the Germans.  That has to hurt.  For a US economic proposal to be derided by any European nation is embarrassing. Given that US Democrats and this administration have held up Euro-Socialism as a model we should emulate this dismissal is beyond embarrassing/

52 Striking the mandate but upholding the rest is the quick way to a National Health Service as the insurance companies will be forced to bail out of the entire sector.

Striking the mandate will bankrupt the insurance companies.  But then, maybe that was the plan all along.

Find it interesting and revealing that the link to the Herman Cain piece says "Herman Cain is a meticulous CEO whose life story is the essence of the American dream.". 
Does the fact that he is not living the African American dream make him a RAAACIST?

While sharing your outrage, (okay maybe I'm not a Captain), I think you have the question wrong.

A lot of us have started to realize that they are not in opposition (the traditional repubs, not TP'ers) just in the same business as the commies, but under a different name.

Congress is a business, not a political process and that's why only dumping Odumdum isn't nearly enough.

56 @42.  I'm still with Perry too.  I think a Perry/Rubio ticket would crush Obama.

57 What happened to talk of total repeal of ObamaRapeCare? Taking more control of Congress is critical. Attack on multiple fronts.

Only a wholesale cleansing of Congress from the janitorial staff on up to the most Senior Senator will serve this country well.  As a practical matter, if we can throw out 70% or more of the current crooks (by seniority), we might be able to recover a Constitutional Republic.  Once they learn how to get their hands in the till (it takes about six years as far as I can tell), Congresspersons are a clear and present danger to the Constitution.

The stoopid party are to busy trashing each other to be concerned about Obambycare.

60 See ya, Saleh 
Foreign Policy
3/23/11
President Saleh, who has remained in power for more than three decades largely by deftly playing opposition groups off one another, attempted to stem the tide of defecting Northern tribal former allies by doling out bags of cash and distributing complimentary cars. His parliamentary former allies Hussein al-Ahmar, Hamid al-Ahmar, and the rest of their eight brothers countered Saleh by opening their own bank accounts to tribesmen. As the auction for northern tribal support continued, the protests continued to grow across the rest of the country (south being Marxist and for secession, effectively a former Russian satellite dependent on USSR aid, after the Soviet fall, forcibly incorporated into Yemen by Saleh during Yemen's 1990s civil war).

61 Ditto, Captain, after Kelo, and the Detainee cases, where they ignored the law, who knows what they will do.

Exactly; depending on the SC to do the right thing is a fool's bet compared to just getting rid of the fucking thing legislatively, which seems to be lost on the dimwits that send Ryan out to do the heavy lifting so their togas stay clean.

64 Exactly; depending on the SC to do the right thing is a fool's bet compared to just getting rid of the fucking thing legislatively,

I don't think we have a chance of getting rid of it "legislatively". It will take a massive shift in the Senate and that is just not going to happen.

65 Looks like the whole primary schedule is going to be advanced.  We know who this helps--and doesn't.

C4P is about to become a mass suicide cult.

I disagree because I think next year's election has the possibility of being a major landslide that will make 2010 look like a minor blip; if that happens you might actually see some blue dogs voting like their moniker would dictate, assuming any of them are left in place.  Either way, it has to be an improvement over that limp-dick Boehner, who can't get off his dead ass to do anything proactively.

67 monitoring the comments here.  They've taken a disturbing turn.

68 Obama Hellcare is hated, and not just by a razor-thin majority. Most of the 2010 GOP wave was directed at overturning the law. The GOP establishment may be trying to ignore the Tea Party types now, but if more get in next year, and the Senate flips, any President (even Romney) would be hard pressed to veto a straightforward repeal.

69 The Electric Tea Party Acid Test

Fun stuff.

70

IIRC the reason there is no severability clause is because there can't be one in a "budget reconcilation bill" which is what the dems pretended to get the bill passed (only 50 votes needed, then)

It would be a gross abuse of separation of powers to allow the judicial branch to insert legislation language into a bill, anyway. Not that anyone seems to care anymore.

71 I like Sarah, but she is doing both herself and the Republican Party a disservice now.

Posted by: Vic at September 28, 2011 07:07 AM (M9Ie6)

 

Hellz yes.  She owes those Beltway GOP types so much for all the encouragement and support they've given her from Day One.  She should kiss the ground those Establishment (TM) dolts walk on. 

72 Vic,
How are you doing?  Did you have Dr appt the other day?
I'm keeping good thoughts for you. 

73 Oh God, if Romney is the nominee, it'll mean four more years of Obama.  Even if Obama loses.

74 The Berkley cupcake video is incredible.  Bravo to those kids running the sale.

75 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.
