Obama Preaches About Frugality. Las Vegas Gets Mad.

Hey – remember when Las Vegas got all huffy with Obama because he said last year, “You can’t go take that trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on taxpayers’ dime” referring to companies who receive federal funding having their retreats in Sin City? And remember how Las Vegas tourism Actually Suffered as a result?

Well, he’s at it again. In New Hampshire this week at a town hall, Obama said, “When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.”

Side note: Is it just me, or does anyone else find it positively HILARIOUS that Obama believes he’s a credible person to talk about “tightening belts?” He’s talking to a TOWN HALL, presumably filled with regular Americans who probably ARE struggling and scrimping and saving. And in waltzes Obama the katchillionaire, telling them how to not blow all their cash. That’s like Heidi Montag lecturing young women on how to appreciate their God-given beauty.

Anyway, Las Vegas is mad again. Most notably, Sen. Harry Reid, who said, “The President needs to lay off Las Vegas and stop making it the poster child for where people shouldn’t be spending their money.”

I find this whole thing amusing. One could argue that Obama is definitely not doing any favors for Harry’s campaign effort, but who knows – maybe Harry comes out looking like a hero for standing up for his state.

Or maybe his approval ratings continue to plummet, because he’s Harry Reid.

Harry McSaggyFace Learns A Harsh Reality: You Can’t Buy Friends

According to this, Harry Reid raised $2 million in the fourth fundraising quarter. He spent $2.1 million on advertisements to make him look like less of a complete blowhard.

With all that spending, Reid begins the new year with $8.7 million in his campaign account — a formidable sum, but less money than he banked last September. And the ads have not improved his low popularity back home, with a new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll showing his approval rating down to 36 percent.

And that 36 percent? It’s down seven percent from a little over a month ago.

The Republicans running against him haven’t raised as much money as him – he’s apparently pretty good at getting people to empty their pockets for jack squat in return – but the outlook is still pretty darn good for conservatives.

In a match-up with Reid, the GOP’s Lowden now earns 48% of the vote while Tarkanian picks up 50% of the Nevada vote against Reid. In December, both had 49% support.

A third Republican contender, former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, now beats Reid 44% to 40%, with 10% opting for another candidate and seven percent (7%) undecided. In the previous survey, Angle bested Reid 47% to 43% in December, while seven percent (7%) liked another candidate and three percent (3%) weren’t sure.

If he keeps his gaping piehole shut about healthcare, that could give him another edge, I believe. However, I think people are pretty disillusioned at this point, and I think the American people are smart enough to know what made his poll numbers go down in the first place.

I am SO looking forward to a flat-out awesome November.

Obama’s Kiss Of Death Tour Continues, And The GOP Has A Renewed Sense Of Humor

Word on the street is that Obama will head to Nevada to help campaign for Harry Reid next month.  Based on Obama’s history with campaigning for people recently, I think we can all happily bid Harry a big ole farewell now and not even bother waiting till the election.

And according to this, California Republicans are getting more optimistic about their chances in November.   Specifically, against that total hag, Barbara Boxer, who I will never ever ever refer to as “Senator” because I know that gets to her.

Babs is looking for a fourth term this year, and earlier this week the California GOP released this statement:  “We hope Barack Obama will do for Barbara Boxer in November what he did for Martha Coakley this week.”  I giggled at that, and thought to myself, “Aww – look at the CA GOP!  They made a funny.”

Babs isn’t worried though.  She’s got a big war chest, and said, “Before the Massachusetts results, after, it’s all the same to me.  I run very, very hard.”

It’s up to you now, California.  Meantime, I’ll be hoping Obama makes several personal appearances for Barbara this fall.

The Scott Heard ‘Round The World

I woke up smiling this morning.  You?

ATTENTION TOWNSPEOPLE: I Am About To Say Something Racist.

This whole Harry-Reid-Putting-His-Big-Fat-Foot-In-His-Big-Stupid-Mouth incident, with all of the associated hypocrisy and moral indignation shown by the wackjob liberals who continue to stand by him regardless (even though they were shocked – SHOCKED I tell you – about Trent Lott’s comments in 2002), has made me come to a truly racist decision:

I want a black conservative to run against Obama in 2012.

I apologize to all the white people out there who I’m obviously discriminating against, and who might be deeply offended by this suggestion. But I’m thinking it would be the most fabulous thing EVER, and would guarantee a GOP victory in 2012. Just think – WHAT would the liberals be able to say then? They couldn’t cry “racism” if conservatives rallied around a black candidate. And without that, they would only be able to stare blankly at each other, wondering what POSSIBLE ARGUMENT they could make next. Can’t you just see it now? Wouldn’t it be BRILLIANT? I swear, Janeane Garofalo would just explode into a billion pieces. It would DESTROY her. And I would pay good money to see that.

It’s too bad Candidate Allen West is running for Congress instead of the big show. He’d be a fine opponent against Obama, for sure.

And in case you’re interested, here are his thoughts on the Harry Reid incident (pulled from his website):

Greetings,
The revelation of Senator Harry Reid’s comments referencing “negro talk” is just indicative of the true sentiment elitist liberals, and indeed the Democratic party, have toward black Americans. The history of the Democrat party is one of slavery, secession, segregation, and now socialism. It is this new aged socialism born from the Johnson Great Society programs that have castigated blacks as victims needing government dependency. One need only to look upon the city of Detroit to ascertain what liberal social welfare policies have produced for the inner city… the new plantation for black Americans.

The Ku Klux Klan was birthed by the Democrats as a terrorist wing to intimidate blacks, and whites, who sought to promote economic and education independence and social justice for blacks. What was once overt has just morphed and become covert, yet still exists.

One can only imagine the insanity and media outrage if Reid’s quote had come from a member of the Republican party. I look forward to hearing from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on Reid’s comments… or has liberal hush money paid for the silence of these proprietors of poverty and victimization theory. Actually, if President Obama had any courage he would demand Reid step down as Senate Majority Leader, and discontinue any support for his Senate reelection… notice I said “if”. I am quite sure the Soros money which elevated Obama to the position of President has bought his servitude.

Why am I running for US Congress as a Republican? Simple. I would rather stand proudly and be called “an Uncle Tom and a sellout” than lose my self-esteem and be considered an inferior by liberals. I understand the legacy of the GOP and the black community… not the revisionist history espoused by liberal educators. I am not, shall never be, and will not raise my daughters to be a part of the liberal 21st century plantation. I am not just some articulate, clean, well spoken negro. I am an American warrior, Congressional candidate, and shall never submit to the collective progressive ideal of inferiority.

Senator Harry Reid’s comments are disgusting, despicable, and unacceptable. They are representative of how intellectual elite liberals do indeed speak of black Americans in their closed private spaces. Next week I have been invited to NYC to address the Hudson Institute, a conservative organization, conference on “Reclaiming American Liberty”. That invite came to me because I took advantage of the opportunities this great Republic offered. I followed the guidance of my parents and set my standards above all others around me. I speak well and have impeccable communicative skills because my Father and Mother prioritized that quality.

I shiver to think what my future could have been if I listened to the insidious rhetoric of charlatans such as Harry Reid, and the ambassadors of affirmative action who reside in the Congressional Black Caucus.
Sure, the “stuck on stupid” blacks are going to address me in derogatory names, but I possess something which they lack; Honor, Integrity, and Character. To them I say, continue to be slaves to the liberals for your vote… and in a year you will be calling me Congressman West.

Steadfast and Loyal,
LTC(R) Allen B West

Racist? Or Just A Complete And Total Moron? You Decide.

I mean, Harry Reid CAN’T be a racist, right? He’s a Democrat, so we all know that this is just genetically and logistically impossible. Only Republicans and conservatives who think Obama’s policies suck monkey poo are racists, right?

Anyone hear that? It’s the sound of crickets chirping from the compassionate, tolerant, and non-bigoted left.

Aaaaaand, once again, behold the blatant hypocrisy…

Update: Thanks to MidNightRider2001 for use of his YouTube video!

Obama’s Open And Transparent Administration Continues Its Closed Door Secrecy

According to this, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are going to be spending a whole bunch of time together behind closed doors over the next few weeks, trying to combine the House and Senate versions of the healthcare legislation into something that they can get to squeak through both chambers.

Why all the secrecy?  Well, “This process cuts out the Republicans,” a House Democratic aide said.  Of course! And better still, it ensures that Pelosi won’t have to deal with problem children like Bart Stupak (D-MI) who has his heart set on taxpayer money not going to fund abortions.

Our representatives hard at work representing us, folks.  Doesn’t it just make you feel all hopeful and changey?

UPDATE: BEHOLD – this video in which Harry Reid explains aaaall about what’s wrong with secrecy and cutting special deals. You could almost feel bad for him if it weren’t so horrifically hypocritical.

Wonderment And Happiness Are Upon Us

Harry Reid is officially delusional.

According to this, right before the floor vote on the senate bill was taken, he said, “We’re going to hear an earful, but it’s going to be an earful of wonderment and happiness that people waited for for a long time.”

Wonderment and happiness, he says.

Is he going home for the holidays?  Any readers in Arizona planning on giving him an earful of wonderment and happiness out there?

Let us know.

UPDATE:  Crap.  I mean Nevada.  Same weather.  :)

Kickbacks And Deals For Democrats. Republican States? Screw You.

This is your hopey-changey world of butterfly kisses and compassion and fairness and tolerance, people.

Harry Reid is actually defending his sweetheart deals and backdoor slimeball tactics to get this monstrosity of a healthcare bill passed. Because, this wackjob and his buddies believe that they’re not doing anything wrong here. I mean, they think it’s O.K. to speak out of 18 different sides of their mouths. They think they’re good, compassionate, fair and morally-sound people, and it’s O.K. to pay off a bunch of Democrats and buy their votes (at the expense of TAXPAYERS) to make their little agenda come to fruition. All the Senators who got kickbacks? I know you’re shocked, but they’re Democrats. And when they get to duck all the increased costs we’re going to see, guess who gets the bill for it? Yeeeaaah. That’d be you and me! Yay!

The entire thing is a freakin’ sham. It’s a blatant example of how the President LIED to the American people. How Harry Reid is a delusional old man. And, how Nancy Pelosi hasn’t a CLUE what the Constitution is.

But yeah, Obama promised non-partisanship. And no deals like this. And transparency. Lies are awesome, aren’t they? Especially when they come with a smile and a handshake.

Sure, you can cheat to win. But in my book, it’s not winning. Eventually, it’ll bite you in the ass. And most of us in this country – those of us in the majority that do not want this – will be the ones biting, I’d assume. I’ll say this until I’m blue in the face – it’s NOT DEMOCRACY, you guys.

You people in Nevada, for crying out loud, get this delusional, arrogant old windbag out of office. YESTERDAY. I’m not above begging you at this point. Oh, and FYI – I’m not the only one who despises him at this point. Apparently, 54% of his voting pool does, too. Go figure.

You Know Who Hates The Senate Health Bill?

Uber-liberal talk radio hosts. It’s kind of amusing to watch liberals eating their own, so to speak, but that’s pretty much what’s happening now.

You know what’s ridiculous? That Harry Reid and his pals are so hell-bent on passing ANYTHING, that the whole bill has become a diluted yet totally poisonous piece of garbage, that now doesn’t make ANYONE happy. Not even liberals.

Maybe they can just sneak in some as-yet unread language into it and take a vote on it in the wee hours when no one’s paying attention.

Oh wait.

Harry Reid’s Brand New, Totally Original Idea That He Had ALL BY HIMSELF

Yes. I realize I’m on vacation in Mexico and I shouldn’t be posting anything but I couldn’t help it. I saw this, and had to post it. I love how politicians seem to completely forget that there’s such a thing as FILM AND VIDEO.

Ok. Back to drinking and lounging and general merriment. As you were.

McCain Smacks Harry Around

So, you know that whole Harry Reid thing Mock wrote about this morning – the one where he compared people against Obamacare to those who supported slavery and the suppression of women’s rights? Yeah. That one.

Well, John McCain answered Reid today, seen here in a 7-minute video of graceful and responsible discourse.

I’ll recap for you into a Reader’s Digest numbered-list format (in no particular chronological or hierarchical order):

1. The healthcare debate has indeed been a “spirited” one.
2. Harry Reid is cracking under pressure and pulling things out of his assular area like slavery and women’s rights to try to pass his monkey crap legislation.
3. Harry Reid has absolutely no dignity.
4. Harry Reid has zero class.
5. McCain would like an apology from Reid, as the Republicans involved in the debate are upholding their constitutional duty of acting on the part of their constituents in a situation where EVERYONE AND THEIR FREAKIN BROTHER will be affected.
6. Harry Reid is a moron.

But, you can go ahead and watch the video for yourself, if you want:

If You’re Not In Support Of The Current Healthcare Legislation…

…well, then you’re basically as bad as a slave owner.

At least, according to the wise and worldly Harry Reid, who made the comparison today.

He ought to check into which party ultimately put a stop to slavery in this country. I’m just saying.

Harry McDelusional: It’s FREE!!!

You ready for this? Harry Reid thinks that the healthcare monstrosity is all paid for, you guys. It’s FREE!!!!!!! And he doesn’t know what “world – what SPHERE” – conservatives are living in.

Um, Harry – that would be the sphere of existence where I’m going to have to pay out the butt for something you feel superior to participating in yourself. This “FREE” thing he speaks of will have 85% of us with health coverage seeing our premiums go up. Not to mention the fact that our liberty is at stake. And it’s yet another $2 trillion government takeover. But yeah…it’s hard to see why people with Actual Brains would want to stifle the crap out of this.

I’m just glad I’m living in that “other sphere.” I like it here. Quite frankly, I don’t want to live in the land of age-spotted senility, thank you very much.

Last night, it was a 60-39 vote. The Dems rammed it through for the next debate to take place after Thanksgiving. And just in time for Christmas. Yay!

Behold the hopey-changey lies, and once again – happy Sunday, everyone!

Harry Reid – Reliving Those Painful High School Memories

Ah, Harry….so sad. You realize all those girls didn’t want to dance with you because you’re really, really weird and creepy?

Yeah. It’s OK. Now go on home to your house full of cats, dude.

Harry Reid Finally Says Something Accurate

BEHOLD: Harry Reid admitting the true price tag of this ridiculous health legislation. TWO TRILLION DOLLARS, folks. And he’s right, when you talk about saving $54 billion through tort reform, against two freaking trillion, it does sound like a drop in the bucket.

That’s a huge problem, I think. People have gotten themselves so used to throwing around impossibly enormous numbers, that those number have lost their punch. Check out this site for some back-to-earth perspective on just what a trillion means. One trillion is more than all the stars in the galaxy. It will take 31,688 years for a trillion seconds to pass. You could spend $10 million a day and it would still take you 273 years to spend $1 trillion.

So yeah – $54 billion might be a drop in the bucket, but that’s the whole point, Harry. You’re spending impossible amounts of money to do nothing but huge damage to the country.

Good job.

Trouble In Paradise

I don’t know if I have ever seen frostier, bitchier, snippier body language in my LIFE. And it’s not just the move away from the touch. It’s the pronounced eye roll, which, frankly I’m surprised she can even MANAGE with all the Botox.

Holy wow. Where has the love gone?

Harry Reid Cannot WAIT To Be Voted Out Of His Seat In 2010

incompetence

That’s the only logical conclusion I can draw when Harry McConstipated disputes the request for an investigation into ACORN and its criminal activities.

Whaaa?

In his letter to Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), the majority leader said he would rather not “ask our committees or this Congress to do anything that would detract from efforts” to address bigger priorities, including healthcare reform and economic recovery. He also expressed his concern that Vitter’s “interest in this matter is driven, at least in in part, by partisan political views.”

There are those that want a tough investigation into this group that’s sucking taxpayer money to do neat things like give tax breaks to pimps and prostitutes. But nooooooooo, not Harry. It’s nonsense, really. I mean – why would he want to do something (ethical) like that?

He has better things to do, everyone. Like take the time and money to go after those in the CIA that kept us SAFE FOR EIGHT FREAKIN YEARS. Going after those who are cheating the American taxpayer through criminal activity would be an obvious stretch for him.

I just hope he’s brushing up on his golf game, because 2010 is just around the corner…

BEHOLD

2009-09-01_143546

I think this picture captures Harry Reid seeing what it tastes like right after his foot has been in his mouth.  AGAIN.

According to this, Harry was interviewed by the Reno Gazette Journal, and was asked, “How will US Senator Kennedy’s death affect things?”

And Harry’s ever-so-sensitive and compassionate answer?

I think it’s going to help us.  He hasn’t been around for some time. We’re going to have a new chairman of that committee, it’ll be, I don’t know for sure, but I think Sen. (Chris) Dodd, (D-Conn.). He has a right to take it. Either him or (U.S. Sen. Tom) Harkin, (D-Iowa), whichever one wants it can have it. I think he (Kennedy) will be a help. He’s an inspiration for us. That was the issue of his life and he didn’t get it done.”

Nice, Harry.  Glad to hear that you think the death of your golden boy was such a nice boost for you Democrats.

Harry And The Chipmunks…

I’m sure you all heard about Harry Reid telling one of his constituent-businessmen that he wanted him to fail. CLASSY.

I think he said he was kidding about it – I don’t know, because the dude is pretty much full of monkey crap, so I really don’t care.

What I do care about is that this video about him being a total shmuck is set to Alvin and the Chipmunks and it made me giggle over my coffee this morning. I figured it was a nice, upbeat way to start your day. You can thank me later.
