McCain Letter

LOL !
After my rant last night about the letter from the RNC, guess what I got in the mail today ? A letter from John McCain ! Includes a picture of him and his Wife thanking me for my commitment and support ! ROTFLMAO ! Talk about irony ! I'll post more on it later, House is coming on soon and one must have one's priorities ! ;-p

It's been a while since I cleaned up my Blogroll. A lot of Blogs have bit the big one over the years. I should have it cleaned up soon.

RNC Letter

So I got this in the snail mail today.

Dear Mr. Bawdy,

I don't want to believe you've abandoned the Republican Party, but I have to ask... Have you given up ?

Our records show we have not yet received your Republican National Committee membership renewal for the critical 2008 presidential election year.

As the Treasurer of the RNC, I know our Party's success depends directly on grassroots leaders like you.

So I am surprised and concerned especially because I know how generously you supported President Bush and the RNC in the past. You helped to advance our vision for America and elect Republicans at all levels of government.

Mr. Bawdy, I know other things come up, and perhaps you've just been delayed in renewing your membership. If that's the case, I understand.

But we've not heard from you this year -- and I hope you haven't deserted our Party.

Your generous financial assistance and active involvement are more important than ever as we work to elect a new Republican president and Congress.

There is so much at stake. The Democrats are determined to put a liberal like Barack Obama in the White House, expand their narrow majorities in the U.S. House and Senate, and push our country to the Left with their agenda of high taxes, big government and weakened national security.

Big Labor, radical liberal protest groups and Hollywood elites are planning to spend more than $500 million to defeat Republicans and aid the Democrat power grab.

Mr. Bawdy, the RNC relies on the voluntary support of Republican activists like you.

That's why I urgently need you to renew your RNC membership for 2008 with a contribution of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50 or even $25.

The men and women who will represent us in this year's election are hard at work building strong campaigns.

And so is the RNC. We are doing our part to provide the research, staff support, voter registration, volunteer recruitment and training, and direct financial assistance our candidates need to win.

The RNC is the ONLY Republican organization permitted by federal law to directly support our presidential nominee.

If we fail to hold the White House and make gains in Congress, the Democrats have made clear they will overturn every reform you helped President Bush achieve.

Democrat presidential candidates and the Reid/Pelosi-run-Congress have promised to repeal the Bush tax cuts, retreat from the War on Terror and increase the size of government through their one-size-fits-all health care plan.

We cannot allow them to succeed ! That's why your renewed commitment is so important.

So if you have delayed in renewing your membership because you feel the RNC has let you down, or no longer needs you, please let me know. I want to hear from you.

Just include your comments and suggestions with the enclosed Membership Confirmation and return with your 2008 membership renewal check. You can also renew by calling 1-800-445-5781 or via our secure website at www.GOP.com/Treasurer2008.

But please don't turn your back on our Republican candidates running for office from the Courthouse to the White House; they are counting on your support. Renew your RNC membership today. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Tim Morgan
RNC Treasurer


P.S. The 2008 elections are critical to the future of our nation. We need the support of every Republican to retain the White House, regain Congress and elect GOP legislators at all levels. Please don't quit on our Party and our cause now. Renew your RNC membership today.
Thank you.

OK.

This letter infuriated me.

Let me address it point by point.

I did NOT abandon the Republican Party, the Republican Party abandoned ME !

I HAVE given up ! This Party has spent the last eight years spitting on us Conservatives !

If you know the Party's success depends directly on grassroots leaders like me, then why have you turned your back on me ?

I helped to advance our vision for America ? Really ? I didn't want to advance a vision for America that included:

• McCain/Feingold which spat upon the 1st Amendment which President Bush didn't veto.
• McCain/Bush/Kennedy that grants Citizenship to Illegal Immigrants, doesn't secure our borders and leaves our country more vulnerable to infiltration by our enemies.
• McCain/Lieberman that buys into the Global Warming Hoax and will waste untold billions of dollars and cost untold amounts of jobs fighting a Boogieman that doesn't exist.
• The Gang of 14, which included McCain, that prevented the confirmation of conservative appellate court candidates nominated by President George W. Bush.
• A candidate that still will not endorse drilling for oil in ANWR.
• The Bush Prescription Drug Plan. Yet another entitlement program that cannot be funded.
• Bigger Government, a higher deficit, less freedom and more bureaucracy.

My vision for America was the anti-thesis for what McCain and Bush shoved down our throats with the exceptions of National Security and Tax Cuts. Hell, Bush didn't figure out where his Veto Pen was until his sixth year in office !

Perhaps I've just been delayed in renewing my membership ? Yep. Delayed until the Republican Party remembers who it is that funds and votes for them and why we fund and vote for them.

You hope I haven't deserted our Party ? The Party deserted ME !

My generous financial assistance and active involvement are more important than ever as we work to elect a new Republican president and Congress ?
How so ? It didn't advance the Conservative cause the last few elections. McCain is a RINO. The Republican Senators and Congressmen should be ashamed of themselves for what they have done and what they have failed to do these past eight years. If my generous financial assistance and active involvement were important before, why did you not only ignore me and your Conservative base, but go against almost every principle we hold dear ?

The Democrats are determined push our country to the Left with big government ? Wow. Wonder what you guys did ?
Agenda of high taxes ? Why didn't you guys make the tax cuts permanent when you could ? Instead, the Democrats don't have to raise taxes, just let the tax cuts expire. Good move !

The RNC relies on the voluntary support of Republican activists like me ? You sure seem to have forgotten it's an exchange. I give support to you and you vote the way I want. Bad votes, no dough.

A contribution of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50 or even $25 ? How about not one stinking penny ? Have you gotten the idea yet ? You haven't done a damned thing to deserve one damned penny from me.

The men and women who will represent us in this year's election are hard at work building strong campaigns ? Yeah. Good luck with that. They haven't represented me in the past, why would they now ? Here's a few hints:

• Drill here and drill now. ANWR included.
• Buld some new refineries already, it's only been thirty-two years for God's sake.
• Seal the damned border.
• Arrest and deport the Illegal Immigrants.
• Repeal McCain/Feingold.
• Repeal McCain/Lieberman.
• Repeal The Bush Prescription Drug Plan.
• Make the tax cuts permanent.
• Endorse and push the Fair Tax.
• Stop increasing the size of Government.
• Stop spending MY money on pork.
• Get another candidate for President.

The RNC is doing their part to provide the research ? How about listening to your constituents for a change ?

The RNC is the ONLY Republican organization permitted by federal law to directly support our presidential nominee ? First, he's is not MY presidential nominee. Second, you can thank his own insane "reform" for that. Third, you capitalized everything except President and Presidential, WTF is up with that ?

If you fail to hold the White House and make gains in Congress, the Democrats have made clear they will overturn every reform I helped President Bush achieve ? Again, I didn't want most of the "reforms" President Bush achieved. They were NOT reforms and they were certainly NOT Conservative.

Democrat presidential candidates and the Reid/Pelosi-run-Congress have promised to repeal the Bush tax cuts, retreat from the War on Terror and increase the size of government through their one-size-fits-all health care plan ? Yeah ? Well, they don't need to repeal the Bush tax cuts, they just have to let them expire. Retreat from the War on Terror ? Yeah, they will and America will be attacked again. Increase the size of government ? I don't see how that's much different from what the Republican Party has done.

My renewed commitment is so important ? What about your renewed commitment to me and my values, my vote ?

So then you have the gall to say "So if you have delayed in renewing your membership because you feel the RNC has let you down, or no longer needs you, please let me know. I want to hear from you." BUT: You'll only hear from me if I include my comments and suggestions with an enclosed Membership Confirmation with my 2008 membership renewal check. You didn't listen the last time I sent you money, why would I think you'll listen now ?

Don't turn MY back on our Republican candidates running for office ? Seems to me the Republican candidates have turned their backs on me !

About your P.S.
The Party quit on me and our cause years ago.

The Republican Party is a stinking roadkill on the roadside of history waiting for someone in DOT to scrape up.

Pissed off at the RNC ?
Damned right I am.

You're the ones that allowed open primaries that enabled Independents and Democrats to elect McCain as our nominee.
You're the ones that allowed crap legislation to pass when we controlled the Presidency and both Houses of Congress.

You betrayed us.

Now you, a sycophant named Tim Morgan dare to accuse me of abandoning the Conservative Cause ? Makes me want to spit.

Please find enclosed nothing.
That's what you and your Party have given me.

"I thought I heard something, but maybe it was just a dream, I used to hear you but now I know, All your talk is cheap skywriting, it’s big & bold until the smoke has cleared. A gust of wind & words are re-arranging, and suddenly the message just disappears."

I'm going Libertarian this time.
At least they stand for something.

43 Busted In Illegal Immigration Raid On Oahu

HONOLULU -- Federal officials said they netted 43 illegal aliens in an immigration raid on O`ahu.

U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Officers executed search warrants over the weekend at the Oasis Apartments complex in Waipahu.

Agents said the aliens were employed by a company called The Farms which does agricultural work. The 43 men were all citizens of Mexico.

It's over 2,300 miles from Mexico to Hawaii.
Wow.

States That Won't Allow Offshore Drilling

So let's imagine if Congress lets individual States decide if the State wants Offshore Drilling a hundred miles or more Offshore and the State says, "No".
Fine.
Pass a law where that State pays twice the price for gas as the rest of would pay to subsidize the rest of us.
That should be favorable to the Demoncrats. They're all about redistribution of wealth and all.

Obama Declares The Calendar Will Start Over

Click on the pic to enlarge.

Presidential candidate Senator Barack Hussein Obama (D - Illinois) declared today that, "If elected, the event will be of such historic magnitude that the calendar should be changed in recognition of this momentous occasion. Instead of using the traditional and outdated B.C. and A.D. the new calendar will have B.O. and A.O. The significance of this change is self evident as in the time of B.O. everything stank and in the period of A.O. everyone will be required to say A.O. in an Ed McMahon manner which makes people smile without actually making anything better."

(Shrug)
I guess if Hugo Chavez can create his own time zone, why not let Barack Hussein Obama create his own calendar ?

Democrats Demand Energy Companies Do Something !

They're Not Opposed To Drilling

Click on the pic to enlarge.

From Investor's Business Daily:

Oil Shock: When it comes to energy policy, Democrats always talk a good game. But look at their actual record while in control of Congress in the last year and a half. It's been nothing short of disastrous.

Wasn't it two years ago that then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi vowed, if her party took over Congress, to cut energy prices — especially gasoline?

"Democrats have a common-sense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price-gouging; rolling back the billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and royalty relief given to big oil and gas companies; and increasing production of alternative fuels," Pelosi wrote back in April 2006, as part of her efforts to convince Americans to elect Democrats.

How's that working for you? As the chart below shows, the cost of energy — measured by the price of West Texas Intermediate crude — is up more than 70%.

Under Pelosi's "common-sense plan," Congress has achieved nothing. Actually, less than nothing, considering that what little has been done has hurt, rather than helped the U.S. to become more self-sufficient. This year alone, we'll spend $431 billion to buy 3.7 billion barrels of imported oil to run our economy. And in so doing, we are enriching some of the world's most unsavory regimes.

Ironically, we have plenty of oil — at least 10 billion barrels in Alaska's National Wildlife Reserve, 30 billion or so offshore and a whopping 1.2 trillion in Rocky Mountain oil-shale. But Democrats' extreme green ideology keeps us from drilling for it.

Clean coal technologies likewise have been put out of bounds. So is the most logical answer to our energy problem — nuclear power plants that can be run safely with spent rods reprocessed. France already does this to meet 80% of its energy needs.

Democrats have focused instead on an insane global warming plan that would cost $1.2 trillion. Subsidies and other breaks for biofuels have helped send food prices soaring.

It would be nice to say they've learned their lesson, but they haven't. Instead, they've gone on a shrill campaign to vilify American oil companies, holding kangaroo hearings in Congress to embarrass CEOs who work hard to bring us more energy.

Just Wednesday, Pelosi sent a letter to President Bush, urging him to look into OPEC price-fixing, to punish "price-gougers" and to end tax breaks for oil companies and use the money to invest in questionable alternative energy schemes.

Excuse us, but that's pretty much the plan congressional Democrats have pursued for a year and a half with zero success. As in the 1970s, this is a human-made crisis — one that has solutions. But it's the Democrats, along with a few equally misguided Republicans, who steadfastly refuse to implement them.

For this reason if for no other, none of them deserves re-election.

Obama Pledges Eliminating Nuclear Weapons

Click on the pic to enlarge.

If elected president Sen. Barack Obama said he would round up all of the loose nuclear materials and rid the world of atomic weapons in his first term.

The likely Democratic nominee warned Wednesday of the dangers of "fighting the last war," and said during a speech in West Lafayette, Ind. he would focus on emerging nuclear, biological and cyber threats.

"As long as nuclear weapons exist, we'll retain a strong deterrent. But we will make the goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons a central element in our nuclear policy," he said.

I could not believe this wasn't a hoax.
It's not.
He's really that naive or stupid or he believes voters are naive or stupid or any combination thereof.
This man is incredibly dangerous.

Bush Says Drill, Drill, Drill — And Oil Drops $9 !

Larry Kudlow Posts on NRO.

In a dramatic move yesterday President Bush removed the executive-branch moratorium on offshore drilling.

A moratorium that his dumbass Dad issued.

Today, at a news conference, Bush repeated his new position, and slammed the Democratic Congress for not removing the congressional moratorium on the Outer Continental Shelf and elsewhere. Crude-oil futures for August delivery plunged $9.26, or 6.3 percent, almost immediately as Bush was speaking, bringing the barrel price down to $136.

Now isn’t this interesting?

Democrats keep saying that it will take 10 years or longer to produce oil from the offshore areas. And they say that oil prices won’t decline for at least that long. And they, along with Obama and McCain, bash so-called oil speculators. And today we had a real-world example as to why they are wrong. All of them. Reid, Pelosi, Obama, McCain — all of them.

Traders took a look at a feisty and aggressive George Bush and started selling the market well before a single new drop of oil has been lifted. What does this tell us? Well, if Congress moves to seal the deal, oil prices will probably keep on falling. That’s the way traders work. They discount the future. Psychology and expectations can turn on a dime.

The congressional ban on offshore drilling expires September 30, so that becomes a key date. A new report from Wall Street research house Sanford C. Bernstein says that California actually could start producing new oil within one year if the moratorium were lifted. The California oil is under shallow water and already has been explored. Drilling platforms have been in place since before the moratorium. They’re talking about 10 billion barrels worth off the coast of California.

There’s also a “gang of 10” in the Senate, five Republicans and five Democrats, that is trying to work a compromise deal on lifting the moratorium. So it’s possible a lot of action on this front could occur much sooner than people seem to think.

So I repeat: Drill, drill, drill. Deregulate, decontrol, and unleash the American energy industry. Those hated traders will then keep selling oil as the laws of supply and demand and free markets keep working.

Bravo for Bush. Bravo for the traders.

Now if we can open up ANWR and build some new refineries we'll be starting down the right path.

Also remember how the Demoncrats are fighting to make you pay more not just for gas, but everything, because everything depends on oil.

Global Warming, Is There Anything It Doesn't Cause ?

Global Warming May Increase Kidney Stones

More Americans are likely to suffer from kidney stones in the coming years as a result of global warming, according to researchers at the University of Texas, an establishment that was once a respected institution.
Kidney stones, which are formed from dissolved minerals in the urine and can be extremely painful, are often caused by caused by dehydration, either by not drinking enough liquid or losing too much due to high heat conditions. Because there is no evidence that global temperatures have actually increased significantly in the last century, only:
1) idiots would make a connection where none exists.
2) greedy bastards see others making fortunes off of the Global Warming Scam and seek someway to connect their "research" to Global Warming.

If global warming trends continue as projected by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (note they're now trying to call it "Climate Change" instead of "Global Warming" because there's no proof of any warming, then again, there's no proof of the climate changing) in 2007, the United States can expect as much as a 30 percent growth in kidney stone disease in some of its driest areas, said the findings published in Monday's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The increased incidence of disease would represent between 1.6 million and 2.2 million cases by 2050, costing the US economy as much as one billion dollars in treatment costs and bogus research into Global Warming and all the crap it supposedly causes.

"This study is one of the first examples of global warming causing a direct medical consequence for humans," said Margaret Pearle, professor of urology at University of Texas Southwestern and senior author of the paper who hopes to cash in on the Global Warming Hoax. She conveniently does not bring up the very real problem of food shortages (as we turn efficient food into inefficient fuel) that are currently causing real medical consequence for humans caused by stupid government policies designed to fight the hoax of Global Warming.

"When people relocate from areas of moderate temperature to areas with warmer climates, a rapid increase in stone risk has been observed. This has been shown in military deployments to the Middle East for instance." Wow, by using pretzel logic she gets to tie Global Warming to the military deployments to Middle East ! What a two-fer !

The lead author of the research, Tom Brikowski, compared kidney stone rates with UN forecasts of temperature increases and created two mathematical models to predict the impact on future populations. Of course the math used to predict Global Warming is flawed and convoluted, but the math used to predict how much funding he can get by tying his research to the Global Warming Hoax is pretty easy.

One formula showed an increase in the southern half of the country, including the already existing "kidney stone belt" of the southeastern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

The other showed that the increase would be concentrated in the upper Midwest. So just like Global Warming predictions, if he sees any increase in either location he can say, "See ? I was right !" and get even more funding.

"Similar climate-related changes in the prevalence of kidney-stone disease can be expected in other stone belts worldwide," the study said.

I'm sure Global Warming also causes erectile dysfunction, psoriasis, halitosis, bipolar disorder and cognitive degeneration. Oh wait, those are all symptoms of being a liberal (or someone that actually believes in Global Warming).

Watch in horror as this poor man gets kidney stones from global warming !

Isn't ANWR beautiful ?
Why should we drill here (and destroy) this beautiful place ?

Well... as with all things Liberals tell us... that's not exactly the truth...

Do you remember the map ?

The map showed that the proposed drilling area is in the ANWR Coastal Plain...

Do those photographs look like a coastal plain to you ?

What's going on here ?

The answer is simple.

More Liberal lies, that's what.

That is not where they are wanting to drill !

*The Prudhoe bay area accounts for 17% of U.S. domestic oil production.

Now, why do you think that the Democrats are LYING ABOUT ANWR ?

Now that you know that the Democrats have been LYING, and we're looking at fuel prices skyrocketing,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

You can start by sharing this with everyone you know.
Then they will know the truth.

Oh, and also remember that John McCain, the RINO, also opposes drilling there and he buys into the whole Global Warming Scam.



So what can you do come November when both candidates are asshats ?
Vote in Senators and Congressmen that will stop this insanity before it gets to the President.

Rollover "Accident" Tied To Islamic Terrorist Squirrel

Squirrel Power

Brockton, Ma - An Islamic Terrorist Squirrel may have been a factor in a rollover "accident" Friday morning, officials said. A woman was sent to Brockton Hospital with minor injuries after her car flipped on its side in an "accident" at North Quincy and East Ashland streets, where an earlier power outage disrupted traffic signals at the four-way intersection, said Brockton Fire Capt. Paul Cosgrove. Cosgrove said the power outage was believed to have stemmed from an Islamic Terrorist Squirrel electrocuting himself on the power lines. The woman’s car collided with another car in the intersection at 10:02 a.m., but the other driver did not go to the hospital, Cosgrove said. The car belonging to the injured woman — whose name and age were not released due to fears that peaceful Muslims would kill her for not wearing a Burka — rolled onto the driver’s side, he said. The Islamic Terrorist Squirrel was last heard screaming "Allah Akbar !" and is now considered a martyr.
