So you thought the Ann Coulter stirred the pot at CPAC this past weekend....
Late last night, I was crashing around the internet and checked my email. I received a message from an old college Republican friend of mine from years past. He had received an email from someone that was sort of one of those chain email deals, but instead of the 'pass this on or your dog dies tonight' stuff, it was a video that was supposedly accusing Mitt Romney and his campaign of rigging the recent straw poll held at the CPAC conference in Washington, D.C. with a link to the always popular and fun You Tube.
Two things passed through my head.
1) Mitt Romney and his staff rigged the 2007 Conservative Political Action Conference Straw Poll with paid College Republican votes.
-or-
2) A shameless person is attempting to smear the good name of the Mitt Romney and his campaign.
You decide.
The video is suggesting that there's some sort of voter fraud going on here. I will report this as I see it. In the video, Ryan Bilodeau, who is the chairman of the University of Rhode Island College Republicans and an organizer for the Mitt Romney for President Campaign, is seen rummaging through a box of materials that supposedly look similar to the bags that were given to the official CPAC registrants. Jordan Sekulow, a Romney staffer, is seen walking quickly through the Exhibition hall with a handfull of CPAC badges to give volunteers. Sekulow is the son of syndicated radio host, Jay Sekulow and organized the "Students for Bush" Campaign in 2004.
The video itself, makes a poor attempt at linking the actions of Dilodeau to Sekulow. They look pretty innocent, but you decide. If you love watching people walk, you'll love this. For me, it didn't do a heck of a lot.
Rumors have been floating around that the Romney campaign spent a boat load of money to pack the room at CPAC this year. Travel, registration fees and all the good stuff were covered so long as they volunteered for the weekend and at a reception after the conference. Apparently, 24 hours a day, folks could see the Romney army of College Republicans in the hotel lobby, exhibition halls, stairwells, elevators, restaurants, bathrooms and of course the local bars. To say the Romney campaign was everywhere was an understatement.
Apparently the Romney campaign wasn't messing around with the poll. They out-worked and even out paid (I wish I had known this when I was a college student) other campaigns like Brownback, Gilmore, and Tancredo for the College Republican boost. The Romney campaign felt winning the poll was a small, but important step in winning the nomination. Romney's strong showing certainly verifies him as a top tier candidate.
Regardless of how I feel about kids being paid to come to a political conference and sway results, videos like this are an example of how over the top the new You Tube Society has become. One thing is for sure. Some form of corruption exists here. Either someone's attempting to lambaste a qualified candidate or someone's trying to point out something that should be disturbing to all of us. Hopefully, this adds up to a lot of nothing and just some political hack trying to get some attention. Regardless, you decide.

It’s probably a little ridiculous to have to state this, but after reading the deplorable 'coverage' (which constitutes ripping a story off the AP wire that reads more like an opinion piece) by the Springfield Republican regarding this story, some things need to be pointed out.
The only thing this story means is that in the eyes of the jury, he lied about what he told prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.
It does not mean:
1. That one iota of intelligence was in any way manipulated in the run up to Iraq.
2. That Joe Wilson has been vindicated in any way.
3. That Valerie Plame was "covert". She was an analyst.
4. That the Bush White House had anything to worry about from Wilson/Plame.
Don't be fooled by all the spin-sters attempting to turn this into the Watergate of the Bush era. It's not.
And everyone knows it...

Well, Scooter Libby has been convicted. Before people panic or begin to celebrate, it is good to remember a few things... a refresher course if you will.
1.) Let us remember that Bill Clinton was taped in the act of committing perjury. It's almost impossible to imagine something more convincing than a video tape. Yet somehow, the special prosecutor declines to pursue the case any further. Who wants to bet it was out of fear that he couldn't get a jury in Washington D.C. to convict?
2.) Consider that the Democrats voted in near complete and total lock step not to convict President Clinton at his impeachment trial. Perjury didn't seem all that important to anyone on the left then. Now that Libby's been convicted, it's a high crime. Bleh.
3.) You've got to bring in the question the sort of justice Republicans can get in Washington D.C. when Sandy Berger was given a slap on the wrist for not only stealing highly classified documents (as in like 10 people could see them), but also hid them in a place where someone else could have found them.
4.) Consider the fact that Harry Reid's anger and dismay when he discovered that top secret documents were covered in Sandy Berger's ball sweat and wasn't prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Wait, you don't remember him getting angry. Hmm, neither do I.
If the Republican media outlets out there handle this right and don't plunge into silliness, the Libby Verdict and the fallout from it could be the best thing to happen to everyone on our side of the aisle, minus Libby himself.
While we try and mind our P's and Q's, it doesn't take away from the fact that the legal ethics system has one more shiner to put ice on. We can't have two systems of justice anywhere, but it's pretty obvious that we do in Washington, D.C.

I'm utterly speechless at how people can support either one of these clowns. There is no limit to the pandering. How people cheer people that are almost mocking them to their face is completely beyond me. Had this been a Republican.. oh boy. Hellfire and brimstone folks.

A recent article in the Washington Post talks a little about the divide in political leanings in our country today. It's not a friendly little bump, but a bit spike running right up your backside.

I'm through watching the 'news'. I'm done. They air nothing that is of any importance to me other than the occasional weather report, which, by the way, doesn't really need to take up 20 minutes of a half hour news cast every night.
I used to talk about the liberal bias in the media, which still exists on the networks, but not so much 24-hour news which is just cluttered with garbage. To be honest, I miss the days of liberal bias. I really do. You can't be biased about the latest tug of war over Anna Nichole's intestines. Stuff like Brittany's baldness, Ann Coulter called John Edwards a f-bomb, Anna Nichole's wormy body, Anna Nichole's wormier boy friends, and more videos of kids sticking their wangs in light sockets just doesn't constitute entertainment or even low brow entertainment for me anymore, much less be something I considered 'news'. I yearn for Dan Rather.
This, all coming from the guy who religiously watches Pro Wrestling more than two nights a week, should say something.
The political correctness in our culture is just utterly out of control. We've had a Jew, a black guy and female all 'convicted' of being homophobes or racists or whatever and two of them are in rehab...or something. It's really not news. I'll be taking bets on who gets to wear the white hood of hilarity next. Today, apparently every one's a target. By the way, am I the only one who finds irony in the fact that the gay community, whose behavior was deemed as a psychological disorder in the 1970s, are now making the same diagnosis of those who don't subscribe to their liberal fundamentalist (see Homophobe) views?
I'm completely tired and done with Anna Nichole Smith. I loved the Playboy issues and what not, but I'm just tired of it all. I'm tired of Greta Van Sustern and Nancy Grace popping up out of her rectum with exclusive pictures of exactly what flavor of Slim Fast she ate before she went belly up in her hotel room. I don't care about the fight over a kid whose entire life at this point, is guaranteed to out do even her mother's, in it's level of train-wreck-ness. I don't care about the kid, nor did I ever care about the sewer that was Anna Nichole's entire life. Her life should be a lesson to the insanely stupid and nothing more, not another excuse for Wolfie Blitzer to hop on into the 'Situation Room'.
Evidently the genius that thought up the whole idea for 24-hour news never considered the fact that 24 hours is just a lot of freaking time to fill up. Stuff that really would never be considered news is now, well, news.
The Print Media is really trying to make sure they're not outdone in their level of non-newsworthy stuff. I mean really trying. Just look at our beloved Springfield Republican Newspaper which today ran a story on Ibuprofen being the best pain killer for kids. If that story doesn't win the earth is flat award, "Cries and Whispers" the most 'un-funny' and non-newsworthy part of the paper, would in a heartbeat. This morning, I learned what Police Commissioner Flynn's favorite comic strip is and that some kid from Westfield State played palm tree no. 624 once on an episode of 'Lost'. Really, the only reason for it's existence is so that the elites in downtown can continue to pretend to be celebrities.
And to think, people honestly wonder why we're so hated in the world. We're not hated because of who we did or didn't colonize five million years ago. We're not hated because we like oil. We're not hated because we like baseball and think soccer is for wussies. We're hated because our country has become a complete and total moral sewer of stupidity where anything is worth talking about, from someone shaving their head, or flashing their genitals in public, to mourning for a situation in where the mother of a child ate a few hundred pills a day and slept with so many men, we don't know who the father is.
Arab terrorists don't hate us for our freedom. They hate us for how we abuse it and make a mockery out of it only to turn around and claim the moral high ground. That's what makes the stories of Michael Richards, Ann Coulter and the black guy from that hospital show thing, so preposterous. The very people who act as loudly inappropriate as they wish are attempting to accuse others of, well, acting as inappropriately as they wish.
Yes, we are in a culture war of sorts, but that may be a little mellow dramatic. That would mean functionally retarded people are moving organized and in unison against the tide of normalcy. People that wear helmets and flash their Pee-Pee's usually aren't capable of such acts, so I try not to give them too much credit. We have some absolutely insane human beings in this country who are getting all the attention and their ridiculous behavior, while probably not inspiring our kids to grab guns and shoot each other in the cha-cha, is inspiring other people to really hate us in other countries and want to shoot us in the cha-cha. Maybe if we were a little less obsessed with our cha-chas, and a little more concerned with how we conduct ourselves as adults, we wouldn't have half the arab world looking to slay the infidel.
I was watching the Grammys a few weeks ago and of course the Dixie Chicks swept the awards because they're totally the best at hating George Bush. In Lead Singer Natalie Mains' acceptance speech she said 'I bet a lot of people are changing the channel'. She then continued to snidely toss her gold record player in everyone's face talking about how courageous she was and how she stood up to us all. Then it sort of dawned on me that the only one who's talking about people talking about Natalie Mains is Natalie Mains, which brings me to the point of this entire rant.
Idiots love attention any way they can get it. To insure you'll keep watching, they'll say more stupid things or remind you of all the stupid things they said before. Unfortunately today, the more retarded you act, the more likely you are to be on TV. The problem is, when we keep letting functionally retarded and emotionally stunted human beings speak for normal folks, it gives you a bad name and it gives me a bad name. It gives our country and our culture a bad name. It's not good for us as people nor as a country. So do yourself a favor and turn these idiots off when they come on TV. The life span of a news story is dictated by the ratings they receive. Hit 'em where it hurts.
Do what I do. Watch pro wrestling.

A little dated, but good for a chuckle.
Hillary sings our National Anthem (sounds as good as me and my buddies giving the 'chop' while drunk on the way back from the bars)
John Bradshaw Layfield, Fox News Financial Analyst, outspoken Republican and former WWE Champion, in action clotheslining people and protecting us from Illegal immigrants. Awesomely bad in the most awesome way possible

Hillary Clinton doesn't want you to know who's giving to her campaign.Something about being a Clinton and not wanting people to know stuff..
While campaigns are required to report the names of individuals who contribute the maximum $2,300, they don't have to provide the really important information: Who are the well-connected fund-raisers who so happen to be helping them bring in big bundles of cash? That's why we here at the Fed and many other voters have been asking that our Presidential candidates should release voluntarily the identities of those deep pocked people and within reason, let us know how much money they raised for them. In the past few days, two candidates, Democrat John Edwards and Republican Rudolph W. Giulliani, agreed to provide such disclosure. They join Democrat Barack Obama and Republicans John McCain and Mitt Romney, who had already made that promise.

So I'm going to begin some fun-time Sunday Activites for all you fed heads out there. The Springfield Republican is one of the most unabashadly liberal publications not only among newspapers in the United States, but probably all media as well. In an attempt to bring some conservative balance to all of this, I'm going to be beginning this little weekly piece discussing the many fun headlines you may hope to read when you pick up a copy of your not-so-beloved Sunday "Republican". The following are today's headlines and what they really mean.
Front Page
Romney Lives Down Heritage (He's a Mormon. That's creepy. What's more creepy is that he's a Republican. By the way it didn't stop there as it's second headline in the REGION section of the paper stated that his family tree 'haunts' him. )
Page A2
Celebrating Teddy's 75th (Teddy, by virtue of having the same birthday as George Washington, is George Washington re-incarnate. Difference between the two is Washington kills limeys and cherry treets, not women.
Virginia Sorry for Slavery (Uh, I'd hope they would be by now, gotta keep the race-baiters happy with this kind of non-news I suppose)
Page A3
Bomb Kills 39 In Iraq Mosque (By the way the subtext read: Many people in the neightborhood work for the Iraqi Military of Police. 'Many People' was in bold. Anyways, we're still dying by the billions in Iraq and if we'd only just realize it and leave everything would be better!)
Iraq toll escapes most Americans (Americans are too dumb and not catching on the the obvious that Iraq is a total failure and leave)
Violence may delay handover (Just to remind us that the body count will continue to soar and we'll be in Iraq forever. Also, Terrorists rule.)
Page A4
Iran Proposes talk, not war (Iran aren't really that bad. Bush is, but Iran, nope)
Ex-Diplomat urges US pullout of Iraq (Just another person who 'gets it'. People that think we should be here are idiots and anyone who knows what they're talking about should want us to leave)
Kurds OK oil-revenue sharing (See, we told you it was all a war for oil!)
Cheney's Voice carries from far-off Asia ( bah, we can pretend for one story)
Abbas fails to get sanctions lifted (btw, there is a nice-sized picture of Abbas and Jaques Chirac shaking hands here while there's a really mean looking picture of Vice President Dick Cheney above. Regardless, the Republican is excited to tell you all about how France and Palestine are taking steps to create a wonderful new world.)
Page A7
Gaza strife breaks 2-week lull; 5 dead (if those damn jews weren't so mean..)
Switches on tracks examined (Richard Branson, ahem, I mean SIR Richard Branson, liberal celebrity, bites lip and saves the world when British trains come derailed. If people could only be as enlightened as our celebrities)
Page A8
College Sorority sends sisters packing (This happens every day. This is not news)
Page A9
Gay Rights bills heading for a vote (Quick! Call your congressmen and start screaming about hate crimes! C'mon, what're you waiting for!?!?!?)
Page A10
Italian Premier gets another shot (He's a liberal by the way. Everyone LOVES this guy. You should, too)
Page A11
Bush links tax code to health insurance (The President kids, is officially page 11 news)
Univision fined $24 million (que?)
Page 13
Governors warn of cuts in child health (Bush wants YOUR kids dead. Your governors are even telling you)
Page A16
Lawmakers In N.Y. push moratorium on n-word (More stories for race-baiters)
I'll try and track this every Sunday until the Republican decides to maintain a little bit more balance in their 'news' coverage. Until then, do the world a favor and stop dropping dollars on the Springfield Republican. It's really not worth it.
