Bill Clinton's role in the Whitehouse - I shudder to think!

So what role doe Bill Clinton believe he will play? Well certainly senior advisor - but he wouldn't want to undermine the Vice President or the Secretary of State. How nice of him.

Clinton said his best use on behalf of his wife, Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, were she president, would be "to try to help her talk through all these problems and then to be available for very specific assignments that would not in any way undermine the authority of the vice president or the
secretary of state."

Please Lord, isn't two terms of Bill Clinton enough?? Does ANYONE HONESTLY BELIEVE HE WILL BE WILLING TO DEFER TO HILLARY, even though his name is not on the ballot?? A nightmare approaches!

Are the American people ready for Marxism a la Clinton?

Hillary seems ready for the government to take over the private sector to put things right in the economy - are we ready for Marxism a al Clinton??

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said that if she became president, the federal government would take a more active role in the economy to address what she called the excesses of the market and of the Bush administration.

A state complains about tighter immigration rules for employers!

A state is very angry about the new Arizona law that places more demands on employers to know whether their new employee is in the US legally.

The result of this new law is a flood of Mexican worker - all without money or jobs! The travesty of it all!! Of course, the delicious irony of it all is that it is a . . . . wait for it . . . . . wait for it . . . . . MEXICAN state that is complaining about the return of Mexican citizens from their illegal stint in the US.

"you are entering the twilight zone"

The Mexican delegation, members of Sonora's 58th Legislature, belong to the national Action Party (PAN), the party of Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón. They spoke at the offices of Project PPEP, a nonprofit that provides job retraining for farm workers and other programs.


The lawmakers were to travel to Phoenix for a Wednesday breakfast meeting with Hispanic legislators. They want to tell them how the law will affect Mexican families on both sides of the border.


"How can they pass a law like this?" asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano Gamez, who represents Nogales. "There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona," she said in Spanish.


"Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems" it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs, she said.


"We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona.


You get that?
"We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora
and Arizona.
No mame, we are not. We are two separate, distinct and sovereign countries.

Excuse me - health clinics aren't supposed to make a profit???

It seems as thou the Mayor of Boston believes clinics aren't supposed to make a profit. And god forbid that a retailer provide affordable healthcare.

Menino blasted state regulators for paving the way Wednesday for the in-store clinics, which are designed to provide treatment for sore throats, poison ivy, and other minor illnesses.

The decision by the state Public Health Council, "jeopardizes patient safety," Menino said in a written statement. "Limited service medical clinics run by merchants in for-profit corporations will seriously compromise quality of care and hygiene. Allowing retailers to make money off of sick people is wrong."
Get that, allowing retailers to make money off of sick people is wrong! This is what the left will bring us if we allow them to.

The Dems want "change" - what the hell does that mean???

If I hear the mantra of “change” one more time, I think my head might explode. Let’s explore some of the things that might change with election of a Democrat President and see if we can see where the Democrat party might take us.

It’s time for someone other than President Bush: well, there is a two term limit for President, he’s gone, so no need to worry about change there, it’s going to happen.

A change in our economy: Well, let’s see. The stock market is up 20% since President Bush was elected. Not bad. Since his tax breaks were enacted the US Treasury is taking in record dollars – unfortunately Congress has seen fit to spend at a record level as well. Much has also been said about the housing market and the number of bad home loans in the market place. Yet, this is the direct result of another “change” demanded by Congress – that banks adjust their lending requirements to make it easier for people to get a home loan. Well, after numerous threats, the banking industry did just that, and, oddly, people who had a hard time qualifying for loans in years gone by are now defaulting. Change indeed. As for our labor market, unemployment is at just under 5 per cent. This has been accepted as full employment for years.

So, stock market up 20%, record money coming into the treasury, a housing market that is simply correcting and a labor market at full employment. Just what would the Democrat party change?

US Security: Since 9/11 there has not been an attack on US soil nor has there been an attack on a US Embassy or other US interest globally (excluding Iraq and Afghanistan). Our meticulous efforts in Iraq are beginning to pay real benefits with the surge drastically reducing attacks within the country and allowing the Iraqi people to begin to return to a normal life. As a result of our direct efforts we have begun the process of creating an independent Iraq that is a true friend of the US. We have freed over 50 million Muslims from the tyrannies of Saddam and the Taliban through these efforts.

No attacks on US interests, real movement in Iraq, freeing of 50 million Muslims. Again, what would the Democrat party change?

Leave Iraq immediately: Not all, but most Democrat candidates have vowed a rapid withdrawal from Iraq. So what would follow our quick exit? No one is saying. Oddly, for as much as President Bush was criticized for his lack of evaluation of the result of our invasion of Iraq, the Democrats are now simply repeating the mantra of exit, exit, exit – all without evaluation of what this result would be. Given that we import around 60% of our oil needs, much of it from the Mideast, is it truly in our best interest to allow a power vacuum to occur in Iraq? Is this a change we want – a Mideast in turmoil?

How about immigration: Across the board, all Democrat candidates are in lock-step – we need to find a way to convert the illegal aliens among us into legal citizens. Not only that, their families and their relatives as well. Not only that, how about in-state tuition for their children when they attend college, not to mention a free education in our local school systems. This is positive change? – Allowing criminals to steal the resources of the US? The only change this brings is the stealing of jobs from US citizens and legal immigrants and the theft of our educational and healthcare resources. It would seem that the only changes any Democrat is recommending would increase the harm done by illegal immigrants while punishing those immigrants willing to play by the rules. Is this the type of change we want?

The US Healthcare System: Again, virtually every Democrat candidate is ready to scrap our current healthcare system in favor of a “universal healthcare system”. Just what does that mean? I would like anyone to name a single social program run by the government that has been successful. Social Securing is quickly coming to an end, Medicare costs are spinning out of control, the healthcare provided to our military veterans is approaching a disgrace – and the Democrat candidates want to now bring this expertise to our healthcare system? This is the change we all want? As for the success of socialized medicine in other western countries – name one, just one country with an acceptable socialized medicine program. Canadians, at least those that can afford it, flock to the US for healthcare, Brits pull their own teeth, Swedes wait weeks for evaluation after heart attacks – is this what we are willing to accept in the US?

So please, change? Not a single Democrat has a policy of change that will benefit the citizens of the US, not a single one.

No woman is illegal!!! - Of course not - - unless . . .

unless they have violated US law and come into this country - - well - - er - - ah - - illegally.

Our favorite open boarders, socialist presidential (small "p") candidate Hillary was busy glad handing in Las Vegas when she met such a lady, her response?

"No woman is illegal," Clinton said, to cheers.

Really? A criminal that has broken US law is not illegal? This should play well on the election trail come the fall.

Just how bad was Saddam?

With the latest estimate of 150,000 civilian deaths since March 2003, once again the critics are raising their voices as to how much better the Iraqi people had it under Saddam. Really?? Better?? Perhaps a closer look at the numbers is in order.
