Looks like ratings for the do-nothing congress have sunk to single digits.
Please tell me it isn’t so! I could have sworn that Nancy and her apparatchiks, Reid and Murtha were doing a great job…at accomplishing absolutely nothing. For the last two years these three clowns have been running around like the Hansen brothers from that movie Slap Shot. Except the Hansen brothers, despite their goofy antics, had a purpose… they wanted to win. Pelosi and company perfected their clown act after they won in 2006, and two years later there still seems to be no real purpose behind their actions.
Giddy from mid-term election success, Nancy, Harry, and the dangerously senile and corrupt John Murtha immediately picked up where John Kerry and his “blame America” coalition left off after their defeat in 2004.
Some of the more infamous missteps of this axis of stupidity include Pelosi’s trip to Syria in an attempt to undermine administration foreign policy, Reid declaring the war is lost, and Murtha [with no evidence] accusing a group of US Marines of cold blooded murder in Haditha. And who can forget the ridiculous, repeated attempts to impeach George Bush, going after Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney, and just about anyone associated with the Bush administration? Apparently the Dems chose to adopt revenge politics instead of actually accomplishing anything during their majority. Great job Nancy, quite a legacy for the first female Speaker of the House.
Not many will argue the fact that Bush, like any leader, has made mistakes. And many Republicans are also to blame for this congressional debacle. However the Dems have continually tried to portray America as a declining, corrupted super-power, attacking not only our political and military leaders, but even our front line soldiers. All of this in a transparently pathetic attempt to gain political power. It’s no wonder that most Americans feel that our congress is doing a very poor job indeed.
Unfortunately, the Democrats decided in 2006 that it was more important to attack the Bush administration than to attack the problems facing Americans. In the last two years gas prices have skyrocketed, the mortgage and housing markets are in ruin, and no word from Nancy Pelosi. The Dems pinned everything on losing [or surrendering] in Iraq, and when American body counts declined and stability in the region improved, Nancy, Harry, and Murtha, all but disappeared from the news. Let’s hope it stays that way.
What new lows will they stoop to if Obama is elected? Don’t wait to find out, vote Nobama in November.

Obama's Political Stunt
About one month ago John McCain proposed that both he and Barack Obama visit Iraq to assess the situation. The proposal made sense. Both candidates are the presumptive nominees of their party. Both candidates are Senators. John McCain has been an active supporter of the surge. Barack Obama has continuously derided McCain on Iraq. McCain has been to Iraq recently to see yhe surge results first hand. Obama has not visited Iraq for over two years even though he sits on the Senate Armed Services committee.
Obama derided McCain's proposal as being nothing more than a political stunt. Obama saw no reason to visit Iraq. Obama had a stated policy of withdrawal from Iraq at all costs no matter the circumstances. Yet today Obama has his surrogate deride McCain regarding his lack of judgment on Iraq. Yes John Kerry "swiftboated" McCain. Kerry claims that McCain was wrong about the surge. Yet the results of the surge could not be clearer. Iraq has somewhat stabilized. 15 of the 18 benchmarks have been met satisfactorily. Yet Kerry has the audacity to say John McCain lacks the judgment to be president. John McCain consistently backed troop increases to quell the violence. John McCain stood up to George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld and told them they were wrong. John McCain has shown he is the only candidate for president that got the judgment right.
In addition to sending his surrogates to trash John McCain, Obama has started to plan a trip to Iraq. This even though one month ago Obama told everyone that visiting Iraq was nothing more than a political stunt. Part of Obama's plan is to visit the Brandenburg gate and make a speech in Berlin Germany. Obama's handlers believe this speech will follow in the footsteps of John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. Now who is planning a political stunt?
Obama has spoken that he is the only candidate that has consistently been against the war. Obama has pledged to withdraw from Iraq immediately (two brigades per month). Yet Obama earlier in the week said he would listen to commanders on the ground and that Obama was refining his position. Who lacks judgment? The candidate that recognizes we are in a war and that we have responsibilities or the one that will say anything to gain a vote? Obama accuses McCain of political stunts, Obama sends surrogates out to demean McCains character, and Obama plans his own political stunt. Obama lacks the integrity, judgment, character, and truthfulness to be the local dogcatcher. Is this the messiah the left has been waiting for? A candidate that stands for nothing, a candidate with no principle, a candidate that smears his opponent all the complaining of smears himself? Obama is a childish egomaniac. Obama has an inferiority complex and masks that with his elitist ego. Obama is a political stunt.

Up The Middle
Obama is making his run for the middle. Many of his policies are now changing to be more appealing to the center. Obama's claim to be a different kind of politician is definitely ringing hollow when you take into consideration running for the middle is the same play book that is always used. Obama is not moving to the center but rather abandoning his primary promises of a marxist world and picking up conservative values.
The playbook says pander to your base and move to the middle. The candidate that mobilizes his base and wins the center will win the election. The theory works like the following: Pander to the party base during the primary. This will solidify the base and energize your hard core believers. After the base is mobilized the candidate then slowly moves toward the center. This slow deliberate move to the center keeps the base mobilized and picks up supporters along the way. The candidate that successfully keeps the base mobilized and picks up the independent middle America will be the ultimate victor.
Obama's playbook is following the basic theory. However, he has a problem. Obama did not methodically move to the center. No, Obama lurched to the right of center. Obama abandoned his base. Obama ran a primary well left of Hillary. Obama was able to energize the far left extreme of his party. Communist and Marxist followers were mesmerized by the chosen one. After securing the nomination Obama morphed into a pseudo Republican. Obama now publicly backs faith based initiatives rather than big intrusive government. Obama just yesterday backed off his lose at all cost Iraq policy to one of flexibility and listening to military commanders. Obama was against NAFTA in the Primary (although his surrogates promised Canada it was all campaign rhetoric) and now is a free trade advocate. Obama through his votes and actions showed he was a staunch supporter of abortion rights no matter the circumstances. Now he is not so sure. All these policy refinements have alienated his base. Obama's move is not a smooth transition from party base to center.
All Obama has done is shown he is a typical politician unable to grasp the nuances of a national campaign. The move to the center must be a smooth transition picking up supporters along the way. Obama jumped over an important constituency. Obama could have done wonders by talking at the Democratic Leadership Council last week. Instead Obama stayed away getting a haircut and playing basketball. Obama has given up on half of his own party. Obama believes his reversal of spoken policy will go unnoticed. Obama believes the democrats will all come home regardless of what he says in the general. Obama feels he can successfully run to the middle all the while abandoning his base and running over the 18 Million that voted for his primary opponent.
The problem is that his policies changes were not morphed. There was no gradual, deliberate move to the center. Obama reversed his policies and now stands to the right of center on most issues. This does not follow Obama's past actions. Obama is the most liberal Senator in the Congress. Obama even made Ted Kennedy appear to be moderate. Obama's past actions and policies stances during the primary were well to the left Hilary. In a matter of days Obama has been able to move to the right of John McCain. It is no wonder the American people ask "who is Obama" or "What does Obama stand for" for it certainly seems Obama has no principles and will say anything to win election. His policies change continuously depending on the audience. Which Obama are we expected to believe in; The liberal senator, the marxist nominee, or the pseudo evangelical? Obama is change no one can believe in.

I've Always Said.......
When Obama starts a sentence off with "I've always said" we need to listen carefully to what he is saying. We need to listen closely because Obama is changing his stance on something. Today Obama started a sentence off with "I've always said" and started down the path of "refining" his position on Iraq.
Now Obama has said he has always been against th war in Iraq. Obama has said he would start an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Obama has said he believes it not unreasonable to withdraw at least 2 brigades per month. Obama has said the surge was a failed policy. Obama has said Iraq was a quagmire. Obama has said just about everything imaginative that was negative in regards to the Iraq war. Yet today he says he would listen to commanders.
Today Obama says he is refining his position. A month ago Obama said it was a political stunt to visit our troops in Iraq. Today he is in the midst of planning a trip to Iraq. I wonder how Obama is going to "refine" his position that it is a political stunt. We all know by now that the surge has produced results. Iraq has successfully met 15 of the 18 benchmarks in less than a year. Last year this time Obama, Pelosi, and Reid were threatening to abandon our troops in a time of war. Reid in fact said "the war is lost". Reid staged a pizza sleepover party in the Senate in an attempt to abandon our troops. Obama railed against the surge. Yet today Obama says "I've always said" and starts to "refine" his position.
The position refinement is nothing more than an attempt to change his position to the opposite of what he has always said. This is an attempt at spinning an admission that he has always been wrong. Obama understands that the current facts in Iraq do not fit his stated position. Obama understands that his foreign policy positions are behind the times and out of step with mainstream America.
Obama stands for nothing. He has always said he was against the war. Now he is not so sure. Obama has always said there is nothing wrong with black theology. Now he says he has abandoned his church. Obama has always said he was against telecom immunity. Now he is for it. Obama has always said he was against free trade. Now he is for it. Obama's run to the middle abandons everything he ever stood for. This just goes to show everyone that he has no principles. Obama will do or say anything to win an election. He will change his position depending on the audience and then have the audacity to say "I've always said". Obama words are as empty as he is shallow.
