Gov Tim Kaine next Chairman of the DNC

January 4, 2008

barry to name Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine Chairman of the DNC. Quite the food scrap for someone who was thrown aside because of the polls. Wonder how tightly girded Joe Biden's muzzle and loins are. Howard Dean should be brought to justice for how he handled the primaries and the nomination. It will all come out...in time for barry to pardon him, Nanci Pelosi, Harry Reid and Hot Rod Blagojevich.

Democrats respond to Blagojevich

Funny thing - I haven't seen Senator Clinton's statement and she grew up in Chicago and reportedly proved voter fraud in the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy election. Mayor Daley Sr won the election for Kennedy by delivering Illinois. Jr has been following in kind.

12-9 BARRY in initial (no) comment on arrest:

I am saddened and sobered by the news that came out of the US Attorneys office today. But as this is an ongoing investigation involving the governor, I don't think it will be appropriate for me to comment on the issue at this time.

12-9 Lt Gov PAT QUINN: called on Gov. Blagojevich today to “do the right thing and step aside.”

I hope he does the appropriate thing for Illinois.

12-9 Speaker of the House MICHEAL MADIGAN refused to comment.

12-9 Rep JOHN FRITCHEY:

There is no doubt these allegations create a sense of immediacy for the House to take a look at beginning impeachment proceedings...I believe we need to act sooner rather than later.

12-10 SENATOR DICK DURBIN, (D-IL)

I am writing to ask you to step down as Governor of Illinois. Beyond guilt or innocence, the charges against you raise serious questions about your ability to carry out your duties as chief executive of our state.

I also ask you not to appoint the next United States Senator from Illinois. Because of the nature of the charges against you, no matter whom you were to select, that individual would be under a cloud of suspicion. That would not serve our state, our nation, or the United States Senate.

Legislative efforts to impeach you or remove your ability to appoint the replacement for the United States Senate have been initiated but those options could take some time accomplish. I urge you to choose the path that will be the most beneficial for the people of Illinois and the nation, and resign immediately

12-10 MAYOR DALEY:

He has to figure out what's best for him and his family and the state of Illinois. He will have to do the right thing.

12-11 BARRY press conference:

I’ve asked my team to gather the facts of any contacts with the governor’s office about this vacancy so that we can share them with you over the next few days. [Seen them yet?]

I to see is a quick resolution of this issue. I want to make sure that the next senator from the state of Illinois is carrying a forward tradition of service, that the next senator from Illinois is not tainted by what has taken place so far.

12-11 HOWARD DEAN:

The arrest of and complaint against Gov. Blagojevich raises serious concerns about his ability to effectively represent the people of Illinois. In the interest of the people of Illinois and all Americans, he should resign immediately. If he does not, I hope the Illinois legislature will take action.

12-12 ABNER MIKVA, former congressman, appeals court judge and political mentor of barry:

Obama saw this coming, and he was very cautious about not having dealings with the governor for quite some time. The governor was perhaps the only American public officeholder who didn't speak at the convention, and that wasn't by accident. He's politically poisonous. You don't get through Chicago like Barack Obama did unless you know how to avoid people like that.

12-12 IL Attorney General, LISA MADIGAN. US Senator 1998-2002 and pal of barry's. Her fater Micheal Madigan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has had a major feud with Blagojevich and barry's senator maker and legislation diverter Emil Jones.

We think it is very clear he is incapable of serving. We want to make sure the people of Illinois have a governor who can legitimately fulfill the duties of that office.

12-12 JESSE JACKSON, JR interview with CNN's DON LEMON:

The governor not only cannot perform his functions under the constitution of the state of Illinois - but has clearly violated [he smiles like I'm not alone - he's worse] a number of statutes under out state statutes and potentially federal statutes. And there may be a capacity issue. A capacity as mental capacity - he cannot function under the duress.

12-12 BLAGOJEVICH:

I’ll have a lot to say at the appropriate time.

12-12 Lt Governor PAT QUINN said his selection process for the Senate seat would be transparent. Quinn said it would be "premature" to talk names but said he would "never" appoint himself.

It is an urgent matter. This is an emergency. Illinois is in a crisis.

12-13 MADIGAN: Is seeking for the IL Supreme Court to find him unfit to serve and wants Lt Governor Pat Quinn to take over.

I recognize that this is an extraordinary request, but these are extraordinary circumstances. Gov. Blagojevich can no longer fulfill his official duties with any legitimacy. [Blagojevich is] unable to serve as governor due to disability and should not rightfully continue to hold that office. His ability to provide effective leadership has been eliminated, and the state government is paralyzed.

Rep. Jack Franks (D-IL) said it would set "a dangerous precedent" for the court to remove a governor as proposed by Madigan, who is a likely candidate for governor in 2010. Franks, a fierce Blagojevich critic, said that kind of decision should be left to state lawmakers.

Illinois Supreme Court spokesman JOHN TYBOR would not comment on when the court might act on the motion, saying only that it "will be properly considered."

Howard Dean's done

November 10, 2008

Howard Dean is going to step down as DNC Chairman. It wasn't as if he had a chance to keep on. He and the rest of the DNC were intent on making Obama the nominee. He did his job. Had Dean and the rest of his pink-faced presidential failures had done their job - there would be no Bush and most likely no Iraq. Something they seem to forget even as they tear him apart.

In our poll:
Did Dean do an honorable job?
Yes 26% No 20% Should be fired 52%

Did the DNC treat Senators Clinton and Obama the same?
Yes 23% No 71%

Do you think Nanci Pelosi was ever neutral?
Yes 29% No 68%

No one, if honest, needs a poll to tell that the DNC was massively biased toward Barry and actively against Senator Clinton. The true (lack of) character of Dean came through when he commented on the media treatment of Senator Clinton. He didn't even pretend that it was his job to look out for all Democratic candidates.

Do you find this video untruthful?

March 2008
The description: "Obama video that the McCain aide made and got fired for". I personally see nothing wrong with it - except the black power salute. That wasn't appropriate. Obama not honoring the flag during the National Anthem was 100% intentional, 100% unspinnable and 100% unforgivable and the clip was enough in itself, especially since he did it as a man running to be commander-in-chief. A man who will send brave young men and women into battle--some to a certain death--to defend a flag he couldn't even honor. That image alone reflects the measure of Obama as a man and no flag pin or endorsement by a Secretary of State will change it. The fact is Obama still has not made an independent decisive act that has consequences. - not once in his career has he stood up for something, acted and been held accountable. The first time he will have to do so will be as president.

The rest of the video is fact - everything said by Mr & Mrs Obama, Rev Wright and Malcolm X is right from their own lips. Just imagine if these were things Mr & Mrs McCain had said/done and the people they were affiliated with. It is irrefutable proof that Obama is getting a pass because he is black. That is not to say he is not qualified. It means simply that Obama has/is not held to the same standard as white candidates. That he never would have made it to Iowa if his resume was attached to white and/or female skin. That he wouldn't have survived Wright - a pastor he said brought him to Christianity and listened to for 20 years - if he had been Senator Clinton or McCain. Period. End of story. And yet racist White America will be the reason he lost. How is this a victory for America? What does it say about affirmative action, white guilt and sexism in America?

Howard Dean letter

I'm going to transfer over some of the previous posts as I am unable. These letters to Howard DNC are worth reading again as are the ones to NARAL.

Letter to Howard Dean, Chairman DNC
Hello Mr. Dean:

Tonight I stopped being a Democrat. I have heard enough. Senator Clinton racks up a 35 point lead and all they talk about is how Senator Clinton's supporters are voting against Obama because of racial bias. David Gergen says for three hours that Sen Clinton is out of it and can't win. Then he says Sen Clinton should say publicly that racists shouldn't vote for her. Why can't anyone give her credit? People are voting FOR her - not AGAINST Obama. Must you continue to diminish her at every turn?

Tonight was it.

What you have done to her is nothing short of vicious. Racism, racism, racism is all we hear and not one word about sexism and misogyny, especially by David Gergen . I started out an Obama supporter -- I voted for him -- but I cannot support a man who turns his opponent into a racist and allows her to be bashed everyday, while he is given special treatment by the media. You are supposed to treat both candidates fairly - make sure they are treated fairly. They weren't and the manner in which it was done was nothing short of brutal.

This cannot be healed or forgiven.

Obama waxes poetically about CHANGE and transcending race and he has allowed it to be played throughout the campaign. You have allowed MSM to bash her at every turn - every day. Check the footage and compare time of Bosnia coverage and Wright. Which got more coverage? I know you won't look but it was Bosnia.

I've had enough. There is no rehabilitating it. My mother raised me better than that. How would your mother feel?

Writing Senator Clinton on the ballot. Proudly.
