Not Romney
From TheGatewayPundit.com:
During his interview with Sean Hannity tonight Mitt Romney would not call Obama a socialist. Instead, the former Massachusetts governor said Obama was a typical “liberal democrat” like other democrats he’s dealt with over the years. Obviously, Mitt didn’t want to offend any of the media elites.
From HotAir.com:
“You have seen a lot of candidates look at their biggest vulnerability, call it a mistake, and ask for forgiveness,” Romney continued. “In my case that wouldn’t be honest.”
He affirmed that he believes the health-care program was the “right thing” for Massachusetts then, although he conceded that it hasn’t “worked perfectly.”
“If it hurts me politically, it’s a consequence of the truth,” Romney added. “I am not going to walk away from that. It’s right for states to come up with their own solutions. I doubt other people are going try and follow the one we put together. Maybe learn from our experience. Maybe come up with something better. But the wrong course is to have the federal government impose its will on the entire nation.”
This is why there’s a growing stack of logos on the right side of the page. Those are the candidates that are acceptable to me. Essentially, they’re not Romney. I simply cannot see how Romney would be an improvement over our current SCOAMF in any way.
So, in addition to adding Newt’s logo to the right, I’ll be adding this one too.
The Thrill is Gone, Baby
Just tell us commander, give us our orders and tell us where we’re going. Give us the mission.

Another One Under the Bus
Or rather, falling on a sword:
Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Thursday that the buck stopped with him over the half-billion dollar loan made to California solar company Solyndra, using a hearing on Capitol Hill to take responsibility for the failed investment while continuing to defend his actions as not politically motivated.
This imbroglio just keeps getting thicker, and that is only aided by partisan hackery, of course.
[Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO)] complained about the recent Republican decision to issue a subpoena to the White House over Solyndra despite “good-faith efforts” by the White House to comply.
What “good faith efforts”? Ignoring a subpoena is not a “good faith effort” by any definition. That falls under “obstruction” where I come from. But Chu is putting up some sort of fight, just enough to save Department face. However, the fact that he approved a restructuring of Solyndra’s debt that allowed two private investors to move ahead of taxpayers won’t look good for him, especially in light of his insisting that taxpayers still are first in line. He does keep pushing the AGW Koolaid™, though.
“When it comes to the clean energy race, America faces a simple choice: compete or accept defeat. I believe we can and must compete,” he said.
Compete?? COMPETE?? If there were anything to “compete” in, we wouldn’t need subsidies in the “clean energy” field, would we??
Does this man have any idea of the shitstorm coming his way?
Yes, We Can….Not
Well, well, well…. looks like all that Hope™ has evaporated amid all that Change™:
Students Lose Zeal for Aiding Obama Again
Poor kids…. so disappointed in having to live in the Real World™ now that they are graduating from college and can’t find jobs.
Ms. Guerrero said that she did not blame Mr. Obama for the 13.4 percent unemployment rate that has gripped this state, and that she was still likely to vote for him. But as she looks to graduation this June and her job hunt ahead, the emotion she feels is fear, and she cannot imagine having the time or spirit to work for Mr. Obama.
{snip}
He hasn’t really addressed the young people, and we helped him to get elected.”
Hm….considering her entire state of Nevada is practically run by Democrats, whose fault is it?? And exactly what did you expect him to address? The only thing he likes addressing is a golfball across a green.
Mr. Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, said there had been eight million voters ages 18 to 21 registered since the last election, most of whom were Democrats.“Their brothers and sisters started it, and they are going to finish it,” Mr. Messina said Monday. “They are storming into our office. Our volunteer numbers are up from where we thought they would be.”
Hey, indoctrination works! Guess what, Mr. Messina. Those “brothers and sisters” are seeing their brothers and sisters returning home jobless and putting further strain on the families. Just because they registered as Democrats since the last election doesn’t mean they will be voting Democrat in the next election. Hell, it doesn’t mean they will even vote!! And as for your volunteer numbers being up from where they would be, well, it’s easy when you start at zero, isn’t it?
I have hope that these kids start waking up to the nightmare they helped to foster. I’m not holding my breath, though.
I don’t buy it and it doesn’t seem to matter
Sharon Bialek claims that Herman Cain groped her in 1997.
From HotAir:
“I want you to come clean, Mr. Cain,” she said in a New York City press conference at the Friars Club with her attorney, Gloria Allred at her side.
There’s two bits in that one sentence that sets off my bullshit alarm. The first: Think of how many times you’ve heard someone say “I just want you to come clean” or somesuch variation. Has it ever been anything but politics when you’ve heard those words?
The second: Gloria Allred. She is the sleaziest of sleazy lawyers. There are a great many lawyers out there who simply will not take your case if they think you’re full of shit. Allred is who people go to when they are full of shit.
However, I don’t actually give a shit if Cain was a sleaze 15 years ago and it doesn’t seem like most people do either. Cain is still doing well in the polls. There hasn’t even really been a blip in his poll numbers to indicate that anyone cares about this.
I’d probably be more willing to believe this stuff if it’d come out back when everyone thought Cain didn’t stand a chance.
Although I suppose that even if this is all true and it wrecks his run for the GOP nomination, I still can’t say I care that much. This is not going to help Romney. If anyone, it’ll likely boost Gingrich. Romney seems to stay stuck at the same ~23% or so that he’s always had which is probably the Establishment Republicans and the Northeast Republicans. That number really isn’t likely to change.
The Party’s Over…Almost
We’ve seen it coming, but for the so-called 99%, it’s still a bit of a shock to find that your protest is nothing more than a rave getting out of hand:
Three people arrested Thursday night inside the Occupy Boston camp have been charged with dealing crack cocaine.
{snip}
“Things have changed drastically. It seems to be deteriorating,” the man told Carl [Stevens, of WBZ NewsRadio 1030]. “A lot of drug use, alcohol use, people getting into fights… It’s deteriorating pretty quick.”
This is what you get when you open up a so-called protest to everyone. Even the mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino (D), is upset at what he describes as “infiltration”:
“They have a message that’s not a clear message. The problem we have today is that we have different groups infiltrating the people who have the message. We have anarchists who are part of the group. We have homeless individuals who are part of the group.”
Wait…I thought they were part of the 99%?? Are you telling me that homeless people and anarchists are NOT part of this movement?? REALLY??? Because I was under the impression that everyone NOT in Wall Street or a bank was part of the 99%. Seems to me like Mayor Menino doesn’t share the same impression, though.
“The problems are down in Washington. And nobody’s even addressing those issues of what Washington has done to our economy, to job training, to housing, to education. They’re directing their anger at the wrong location.”
This is the same man who not long ago was completely in support of the Occupods*. But now that the crime rate is escalating, and the filth and disease is spreading, he is turning his back and suggesting the occupiers at Dewey Square GTFO and go protest in Washington, D.C.
Nothing like a fair weather politician, eh??

Ted Poe
Some of you have seen this, but being a Texan I thought I’d throw this out here again.
Having grown up outside of Houston, I was familiar with Ted Poe back when he was a judge in Harris County. He quickly got locally famous with some of his sentencing. He was one of those judges that would sentence a shoplifter to carrying a sign saying he was a thief in front of the store he stole from and ordering murderers to have a photo of their victim on the wall of their prison cell.
Reach Arounds Are Extra
Riding the wave of the Occupy Fill-in-the-Blank protesting 1% of something, two lawmakers will introduce bills to tax financial transactions, following a proposal introduced in the European Union.
Because you know, taxation is working so well over there.
Senator Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, and Representative Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, will introduce the bills tomorrow in their respective chambers. The bills will give the United States an increased role in the international debate over a transaction tax, which is likely to be discussed at the Group of 20 summit this week in Cannes, France.
Yes, the same Cannes where Sarkozy is fighting to keep from unravelling due to Greece’s sudden demands for a popular vote over their financial rescue by the rest of the European Union members. Europe would love this tax bill here, which in turn would add global capital for use in undertermined ways. And by “undetermined”, I mean bailouts. Who controls global capital again?
But don’t worry. It wouldn’t be as high as the EU proposal of .1% of stock and bond trades. It would only be a rate of .03%. And in case you needed more reassurances, Senator Harkin delivers.
“It’s a significant way to raise some needed revenue,” Harkin said in an interview today in Washington. “Quite frankly, I bet nobody would even feel it.”
No one that actually doesn’t pay taxes. It never ceases to amaze me how a tax hike is permanent, but a tax cut is temporary.
Sometimes the best disinfectant is napalm.
French is French for …..
Huge cheers went up in UNESCO after delegates voted to approve the membership Monday. One shouted “Long Live Palestine!” in French.
{snip}
Palestinian officials are seeking full membership in the United Nations, but because that effort is expected to take some time, they are separately trying to get membership at Paris-based UNESCO.
U.S. lawmakers have threatened to withhold $80 million in aid from UNESCO, which is a rathole of corruption in itself. But the Fwench don’t care, as long as they can spite the Israelis and the Americans. The big bonus is that, if Palestinians get UN recognition, the Fwench can then start shipping the “undesirable” second-class citizenry of their country back to the Middle Eastern hellhole from where it spawned, thus helping Fwance re-establish its cultural hegemony. Because you know…the Palis were there first, along with unicorns.
The Fwench may have surrendering down to an artform, but they sure learned a thing or two from that little Austrian guy.
Occupy THIS!!
With all the so-called “occupations” going on, one would think that there are only two percentages out there. If you aren’t the 99%, you are the 1%. Only in math is this not patently idiotic. Most of us here fall under the 53%, or are fighting hard to be in that category. But the most special fall under the .45%. That’s right: POINT FORTY-FIVE PERCENT!
So, to the infiltrated 99%, who can’t tell they are being used by the marxists, communists, and nazis infiltrating their so-called movement, and especially to that horrid excuse for a breeding female who claims she is doing exactly what the military does, I give y’all a hearty SCREW YOU!!
