Hurricane Charlie (Or How To Win Votes In The New Republican Party)

No, that’s not the name of the storm after Bill – It’s Charlie Crist’s new approach to the Religious Right.

Town Hall reports that Crist was speaking to a group of real estate agents, and credited prayer notes in the Western Wall in Jerusalem with preventing his state from being hit by hurricanes during his time as governor.

Crist told of how he visited the Wall in 2007, and placed a note saying: “Dear God, please protect our Florida from storms and other difficulties. Charlie.”

Now, Charlie doesn’t take credit for stopping hurricanes from hitting his state – he modestly lets God have the glory, but, but, but… what if he hadn’t written that note?

Spooky.

And stupid.  I am tired of this nonsense.  For while I don’t always agree with Crist he’s always struck me as reasonable.  Reasonable:  A word that cannot be applied to the new GOP in any way, shape or form.  I’m not kidding.  Pick a topic – the economy, health care, education, citizenship, etc – and then tell me the Republican position.  Explain to me why any sane person should take them seriously?

Deep Thought of the Day

When critics of President George W. Bush raised the specter of fascism, they were out-of-control, anti-American radicals. When conservatives raise the specter of fascism — and mind-bogglingly socialism at the same time — they are patriotic dissenters channeling our founding fathers. Any questions?

will this hurt or help him

Thoughts?  I don’t know how this hurts him when it comes to independents.  Personally, it is par for the course with Johnny.  All hat and no cattle.   When it comes down to it, he votes right in line with the party.  Sort of like Chuck Hagel, Warner and the rest of the pathetic lot of them

WASHINGTON – Senator John McCain never fails to call himself a conservative Republican as he campaigns as his party’s presumptive presidential nominee. He often adds that he was a “foot soldier” in the Reagan revolution and that he believes in the bedrock conservative principles of small government, low taxes and the rights of the unborn.

What Mr. McCain almost never mentions are two extraordinary moments in his political past that are at odds with the candidate of the present: His discussions in 2001 with Democrats about leaving the Republican Party , and his conversations in 2004 with Senator John Kerry about becoming Mr. Kerry’s running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket.

What, they couldn’t get to a thousand?

President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.

Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq’s links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell’s 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.

As if prisoners should have rights!!

I don’t know what the flying frig is going on with this country lately. First we have these toilet-paper-recycling hippies telling us yet another part of Bush’s Patriot Act is unconstitutional. Now, NOW, we have this crap!

 14 Terrorism Suspects Given Legal Forms at Guantanamo.

What the hell is this? I don’t get it. They aren’t Americans! They are barely humans. I mean, I mean AAAAAAHHHHH, why the hell should they be treated like one of us? I truly don’t understand. If we go around expelling the same type of treatment we give our own citizens pretty soon people are going to expect to be treated fairly all over the world!  It’s as if we are going to start using the geneva convention as a real guideline.  If the terrorists aren’t afraid of being locked up forever, having their testicles tortured, being barked at, having their Quran peed on, having womans menstrual fluids wiped on them then what do we have as a country to protect our free will?

This shit sucks man! They take away our ability to spy on anyone defeat terrorism, now they expect us citizens to just let those allah loving darkies be treated as American Citizens when all they want to do is kill us with dirty bombs, IED’s, IFP’s, bomb-vests, sarin-gas, shoe-bombs, airplanes, crop-dusters, cement-trucks, chemical-trucks, box-cutters, lighters, shampoo, nail files, finger-nail cutters and whatever else they can think of (oh and they never use guns have you noticed)?!  The enemy will learn this and pretty soon they will expect the American brand of Justice!  Before you know it they will hire Billy Martin No! Not that one people….this  Billy Martin to get them off.  I can see it now, the next thing you know these gutless virgin-lusting, allah-loving, east-kneeling, carpet-weaving, funny clothes wearing, weird beards will get good lawyers that will poke holes the size of Alaska into our laws meant to strip away our civil liberties keep us free from tyranny and oppression.  They will set all kinds of precedent giving prisoners rights and I just, I just…………………………………….OMG, this can’t be happening. 

Seriously it is like everything we have been working towards for the past 6 years is wrong!  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This country is going to hell and it is all because of the blacks, homo’s and divorce!
