Hey – You Know How We Think That “Conservatism Needs A Makeover?”

Published by Mockarena on July 13, 2010 in Chicks For Mitch and General Political Mockery. 39 Comments Tags: , , , .

This isn’t what we had in mind.

AT ALL.

This woman looks rabid. And you know what bugs me? When a conservative celebrity says something that a conservative regular person agrees with, and that conservative regular person immediately thinks that the conservative celebrity should be president. THAT IS STUPID.

Look. I like Glenn Beck. I think he provides a valuable service – in that he asks questions others don’t ask, and he gets people like Van Jones to resign simply from media pressure. Those are good things. But he’s also an emotional trainwreck much of the time, and he is NOT QUALIFIED to be president, just because he happens to have high rated tv and radio shows. Granted, I know Obama’s not qualified either, but conservatives need to be better than that.

You know who’s qualified? Mitch Daniels. That’s who’s qualified.

I did just finish reading Beck’s The Overton Window. I liked it, except for the rather abrupt ending. One thing I especially liked was a line out of Beck’s “Note From The Author” section in the beginning of the book. He wrote, “I’ve been called every hateful thing there is to call someone and I can handle it. But when all is said and done and people look back at this time in the history of our great country, there’s only one thing I hope that everyone, critics and fans alike, call me…

Wrong.”

I liked that. But I still don’t think he should be president. And the chick in the video needs to rethink her lipstick.

Your Next President’s Convention Speech

Published by Mockarena on June 20, 2010 in Chicks For Mitch and You Know What I Love?. 2 Comments Tags: , , .

Our buddies at Hoosier Access, because they are Actual Media People, got Mitch’s speech on video yesterday. It’s in 3 parts, but you should watch all three, so that you can get to know your next President. You’ll notice the total absence of teleprompters. He doesn’t need ‘em. You’ll also notice he takes a while to get going in the first video, what with all the screaming of “Run, Mitch RUN!” and cheering and what not. :)

And Here’s Even MORE Good News

Published by Mockarena on June 7, 2010 in Chicks For Mitch and You Know What I Love?. 11 Comments Tags: , , .

OUR MAN MITCH is, according to this,  “inching closer to a presidential run.”  YAAAAAAAY!

Specifically, on June 15th, a fundraising dinner on Mitch’s behalf is being held by the Aiming Higher PAC in Washington DC.  If you are somewhere in the DC area, you should figure out a way to scrounge up $500 and go to it.  It’s for a great cause, and you’ll come away with a rejuvenated sense of hope about the direction that Mitch could take the country in.

The reception is being held on a rooftop within sight of the White House, fittingly.   The invitation says, “Help Gov. Mitch Daniels Aim Higher for Indiana’s Future,” but come on.  It’s in DC, you guys.   HE IS TOTALLY GOING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.  And hopefully, he’ll bring Gov. Chris Christie along for the ride.

Best news ever!!!

I’ll Likely Get Slammed By Some Of You For This, But…

…I hope that this isn’t true.

Look. I like Sarah. I really do. I think she’s just a fireball of charisma, and I agree with her on most everything, but if she’s the GOP nominee in 2012, we don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of defeating Obama.

What we need is Mitch Daniels. And if he won’t run, then we need someone like him – measured, methodical, competent and not divisive. There is practically no one more polarizing than Palin in politics right now. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m not saying she deserves even a fraction of the criticism she gets, but the fact is, she’s not taken seriously as a potential leader, and that’s a problem.

And don’t misunderstand – I’m not ripping on her. I would love to see her take over Michael Steele’s role – she’s a perfect cheerleader (and fundraiser) for the party. But she’s not right for the White House. At least not yet.

So anyway, I hope this isn’t true.

Discuss.

I’m Telling You Guys, He’s Going To Run

First it was a flat-out denial. Then it progressed to not ruling out the possibility. And now? He’s making jokes about it. Next? The announcement (although perhaps not for a year or so). But it’s going to happen, you guys.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO FACESMASH HIM??!??!?

MITCH DANIELS, 2012!! WOOT!

You Know What I Think Is Kind Of Hilarious?

Published by Daisy on February 3, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , .

The lovefest for Obama that we’ve witnessed over the past year. Behold a nice little recap of that lovefest here:

And now? A little over a year later? ABC’s Jake Tapper is asking why in the heck Obama can’t “man up” and make tough, presidential-type decisions.

You know, I’m not exactly sure about this, but I think, in his own little way, Mr. Tapper just questioned whether or not the President has Actual Testicles. Yep.

Wow….what a difference a year, an inflamed ego, absolutely zero experience whatsoever, broken promises galore and a raging deficit can make, huh?

So, Back To That Chris Matthews Thing…

Hey – did you white people out there know that this year has been traumatic because Obama is President? Yeah. It’s been traumatic, but that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that the man is half black.

Um….who gives a rat’s ass?

Wait….that’s right….apparently liberals do. As seen (once again) discussed on Behar.

I’d just like to point out, for the record, that if someone told me I was a good dancer, I’d actually take that as a compliment – and not anywhere near offensive. But that’s just me, I guess.

And, yes. We’re still talking about this crap.

GAWD.

Tonight Should Be Fun

I’ll try very hard to watch the SOTU address tonight, while Mr. Daisy chooses to excuse himself from the room to avoid watching me roll my eyes non-stop.

I’m just wondering if his speech writer actually sat down and thought about the chicks like me who WILL be sitting at home, rolling their eyes, at our Narcissist Commander-In-Chief. I won’t hold my breath, especially as this speech was recorded only a few days ago.

Someone cue the Carly Simon music now, please…

Good For Thee. Not For Me.

Once again, another video surfaces that shows how Obama was so quick to point fingers and give advice back in “the day” when he was Senator for five minutes. When Bush’s approval rating dropped, he advised the President to “save face” and “step back.” And he also mentions something about how the “American people have voted…”

I guess you should only listen to Americans when they’re not freaky right-wing nutjob teabaggers. And, you know, when you’re not the crowned Messiah.

As for taking his own advice? I won’t hold my breath.

For Your Saturday Enjoyment: A Boob In A Suit And Hideous Footwear

Published by Daisy on January 9, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 10 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Here’s Rachel Maddow on David Letterman. I don’t know if you want to actually sit through the whole thing, as it’s kind of excruciating to watch, but here are some of the highlights spewed by the great Maddow herself:

  • We right wingers are crazy.
  • Obama has “put together the most legislatively accomplished first year of any president in a generation.“
  • “We still have an economy.”
  • “The stimulus works. Even conservatives are starting to admit it.“

Of course, all of the above made me scratch my head. As did her choice of footwear for the show, which is plain-out, freakin’ hideous.

The most accurate statement of the segment? Why, it was Letterman himself who said, “I’m just a boob in a suit.”

Why yes….yes, you are, Dave.

Obamamessiah’s Doing Badly In The Polls? Must Be Those Stupid Polls…

Published by Daisy on January 3, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 3 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , .

You know those Rasmussen polls that we reference here a lot? You know, the ones that are unbiased, data-driven polls showing how someone like The President of the United States is doing in the eyes of the American people?

Yeah, well, the Democrats have now taken their “compassionate” anger and directed it toward Mr. Rasmussen himself. You see, they don’t like Rasmussen because the numbers aren’t in their favor. It’s as simple as that, but they’re dancing around that simplicity to attempt to paint the polls as somehow flawed.

They don’t like the data, for one, but they also don’t like the way “the firm frames questions in its automated polls, which are the staple of its work.” It’s kind of like that Birkenstock-wearing, no-armpit-shaving, man-hating liberal professor at my southern undergraduate university that used to tell me that SATs were biased toward white males. You know, based on those English questions and math problems. Enlightening.

Rasmussen is defending himself by saying that “his numbers are trending Republican simply because he is screening for only those voters most likely to head to the polls — a pool of respondents, he argues, that just so happens to bend more conservative this election cycle.” Polling all adults — a method used by Gallup, another polling firm that conducts a daily tracking poll of Obama — Rasmussen acknowledged, is “always going to yield a better result for Democrats.”

Rasmussen is quick to point out the accuracy of his surveys — noting how close his firm was to predicting the final outcome in this fall’s New Jersey governor’s race. (Rasmussen’s final survey in the race showed Republican Chris Christie edging out Gov. Jon Corzine 46 percent to 43 percent. Christie beat Corzine 48 percent to 45 percent on Election Day.) And he argues that he was among the first pollsters to show Obama narrowing the gap with Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.

But if you don’t like the message, well, you know the old saying…

I suppose 2010 and 2012 will show the reality. When a nice chunk of these Democrats who have IGNORED their constituents are booted out of office, I wonder who they’ll blame then?

Oh that’s right! I forgot for a second. They’ll blame BUSH, of course…

Bo’s Visit To Copenhagen: Anger, Drama, Then More Unnecessary Bowing.

Published by Daisy on December 18, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

Bo went over to Copenhagen and got all pissy in his speech, apparently, talking about life hanging in the balance and whatnot. He’s scary, you know. Just ask all of the people in other countries around the world who hate us and want us to die slow and painful deaths. They’re all shaking in their boots from the fuzzy, surly puppies he’s been hurling at them for the past year.

Here’s the dramatic exit of his speech. With more bowing. Because of COURSE there’s more bowing.

You know, maybe he’s not really pissed off at the global warming thing as much as he’s pissed off about the fact that, when compared to the approval ratings for modern elected presidents in their first year in office, his standing is the worst. Yeah. That could be it.

Ouch.

Published by Daisy on December 12, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

According to today’s Rasmussen Presidential Tracking poll, Bo’s not as popular with the lemmings as he once was this time last year. You can’t dispute the data. And I’m just here to mock it and be snarky, so see for yourself:

obama_approval_index_december_12_2009

25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16. That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.

Translation: Hopey-changey-flowers-and-butterfly-kisses can only get you so far. Eventually, the poppies mysteriously morph into monkey poo. Take a whiff, everyone…take a whiff.

Obama To America: Private Sector? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Private Sector!

Published by Daisy on November 26, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 4 Comments Tags: , , , , .

A clever and competent reader sent this to me today. I thought it was more than interesting.

The American reported that:
J.P. Morgan recently issued research that “examines the prior private sector experience of the cabinet officials since 1900 that one might expect a president to turn to in seeking advice about helping the economy. It includes secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development, and excludes Postmaster General, Navy, War, Health, Education & Welfare, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security—432 cabinet members in all.”

I think the chart does a nice job of painting the picture for us all:

obamacabinet

So, hey all you job seekers out there! If you have absolutely no real experience whatsoever in your chosen industry, Obama’s got a job for you. I assume he’s taking applications right now – you can send them to Pennsylvania Avenue. Hell, he may not even require an application.

STILL No Decision On Afghanistan, But Bo’s Not Passing Up A Great Photo Op

Published by Daisy on November 22, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , .

He’s kicked that proverbial can down the road some more. You remember, the one about actually borrowing some cajones and making a decision about troops in Afghanistan (when he was tasked with doing so back in August….yeeeah). Meanwhile, he’s really busy trying to get some much-needed photo ops. You know – since he’s been underexposed and not completely self-absorbed for the last year and all:

Aaaaand, again. Stay classy, Bo.
