Obama Will Be Re-elected By Republicans‏?

I suggest that Mr. Obama will be re-elected. Why? Because the Republicans chose not to put a very valid candidate against him.

Republicans did it to themselves.

It is like flipping a coin. Heads I win, tails you lose.  

Then there is the Dr. Ron Paul incident at the Tampa convention. Change the rules on a voice vote? You have to be kidding me . . .  

Nothing they could ever have dreamed of could have alienated more   Republicans than that voice vote.  

When you have 2 million potential video recordings of the "voice vote" on everyone's telephone promptly uploaded to websites, what part of "cheating" does Mr. Boehner not understand? All anyone has in this world is an honest name. What that name means is everything. Are you honest or dishonest, what does that name mean to you?  

Mr. Boehner's name is not a good one at this point in time after what was done at the Tampa Convention. Everyone that is Republican and a supporter of Dr. Paul is going to the voting booth in November. Guess who I would vote for? It isn't Mr. Romney at this point in time. It was obvious cheating and they both knew it. Mr. Romney and Mr. Boehner staged it as the teleprompter confirmed. U-tube is full of it. The voice vote went down as the majority of people voted it down.  

So do you vote for the devil that you have, or the devil that you do not know? If they had not cheated then Mr. Romney might have had a chance.  

As it stands, anything the man has to say has to be considered less than truthful at this point in time. He has invalidated his own election attempt with that voice vote.  

Only Obama can get him elected President. Again, why are people so disrespectful that they have to consistently tell less than the truth when they speak? All Mr. Obama has to do is let the Republicans hang themselves with their own words. Simply point out the inaccuracies of their advertisements to the people. And he will get re-elected.  

What do the Republicans have to gain by losing? I suggest they hope to gain both houses of Congress in the next two years if history serves.  

They are hoping bad management will get them back in power.  

All I can say is, I won't vote for Mr. Boehner after his act at the Republican Convention. I would have until I saw that action. He danced very well in step with the Romney group. It was disgusting. It was political machine politics. I am ashamed that Mr. Boehner came from Ohio.

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth And Vladimir Putin

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth and Vladimir Putin all die and go to Hell.
While there, they notice a red telephone and ask what it was for.

The devil tells them, 'it's for calling back to Earth.'

Putin calls Russia and talks for 5 minutes; when he is finished the devil
informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes;
 her phone bill is 6 million dollars, so she writes the devil a check.

Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours;
when he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.

When Putin hears this, he goes ballistic and asks
the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.

The devil smiles and replies,

"Since Obama took over, the country has gone to Hell 

 ... so it's a local call."

My Work Here Is Done

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery"    --Winston Churchill 

The following was emailed to me the other day....

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the

wealth out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to

work because the other half is going to take care of them;

and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work,

because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Can you think of any reason for not

sharing this?

Neither could I....

The Tea Party Anthem

Have you ever heard of the Tea Party Anthem?  Someone sent me a link to it the other day, and I have posted a YouTube video of the anthem below....





The following is how this Tea Party Anthem is described on YouTube....

Here it is, the official Tea Party Anthem! This song was prophetic in the fact that is was written in 2007, before the 2008 elections. American Dream stands for everything the Tea Party does: smaller government and the Founding Father's idea of the Constitution, which can be changed by amendment only. Produced by Mark Keefner of Waymo Music. Patrick Bolen of Pure Prairie League fame, plays an awesome slide guitar. You may have heard Patrick singing American Dream as well. Patrick Bolen recorded this song to bring a male perspective. Laurie Sterling is the author and wanted to add a female perspective to it.
