Pelosi Death March

As of this time, (3:58 cst) it looks like the table is set for the dems and their hoax of a health care bill. Much, MUCH more on this to come.

Thai Transvestites, Whoo Hooooo

Ya, I know I haven't been keeping up to date here, but politics of late has been too depressing to even write about, the Pack's training camp has been slow, (finally the Raji deal is done) and until lately we haven't had a real Summer in Minnesnowta.
The political thing has been the worst. Great Leader running aroung the country telling lie after lie in hopes that if he tells them enough people will think they're true. No matter how big the whopper, he throws em out there. All he does to people with questions is to do his Elvis grin and make fun of them. He thought the lady worried her insurance wouldn't cover internal organs was a real hoot. I don't think that lady thought it was all that funny. He got a laugh out of it on his comedy tour though.
You've got other politicians calling people racist, nazis and hate mongers. Politicians that are all above us dumb citizens. Specter was one of the worst. Standing there, letting people sound off in front of him, and all he can say is, "there's democracy in action." Not even understanding what that person was saying.
This health reform debockle is just too frustrating. You've got such a complicating system with all kinds of hands in the cookie jar belonging to people and organizations that don't want to give up, or want a larger cookie. What to do? Let San Fran Nan and the Cript Keeper (Reid) throw up a more than 1000 page monstrocity with (as Krauthammer puts it) additional curlicued complexity — employer mandates, individual mandates, insurance company mandates, allocation formulas, political payoffs and myriad other conjured regulations and interventions — with the promise that this massive concoction will lower costs.
Can you see why a guy would just want to not think about it for a while? It's why I was so happy to see a real news story finally. Chinese Politicians and Thai Transvestites. Yup, that's right.
From Breitbart - Chinese officials on a "study visit" to Thailand have triggered outrage after photographs of them at a transvestite show were posted on the Internet.
In one of the photos published in the Beijing News Friday, an official from Luzhou town in the southwestern province of Sichuan is shown dipping into his pocket for money to give to a transvestite performer.
"Going to see transvestites in Thailand is normal, the problem is whose money they used to go!" one angry Internet user said in a posting.
Shit's gonna hit the fan now, as the Communist Party secretary of Luzhou promised to investigate the affair and said civil servants who had broken the law and regulations would be punished. And, I think when they say "punished", they ain't talkin waterboarding. I'll let'cha know if I hear anymore about this.

Pelosi's Camo

What better cover for Speaker Pelosi than a former Vice President Dick Cheney scandal?

Of course the Dems don't want to make a big deal of Pelosi's accusation that the CIA lied to her about the use of torture in 2003. By her not answering any questions about it from the press and a trip overseas, she had hoped it would just fade away. Well, it didn't.

Time to go to plan B. The libruls usual m.o. is to divert the attention to some one else. Who better than Deadeye Dick, I mean, other than Governor Palin?

On Sunday, the New York Times reported that Cheney and the CIA devised a secret counterterrorism program. Not only that, Cheney reportedly told the CIA to keep it secret from Congress. It was supposedly a plan to kill or capture al Qaeda operatives. You know, the ones we're at war with.

Turns out CIA Director Leon Panetta just remembered the program and reported it to members of the House and the Senate Intelligence committees. Of course Leon terminated the plan as soon as he heard about it. All this after he had earlier told them that the CIA had never engaged in obfuscation with Congress following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. hmmmm

Horrified by this development, San Fran Nan immediately notified the House Intelligence Committee that an investigation should promptly get underway. Via The Hill, “I think that it behooves the committee to take whatever actions they believe are necessary to get more information on that subject as to whether the intelligence community was directed by the vice president to create a program and intentionally withhold that information from Congress. And further, if these same intelligence community people were asked, ‘Is there anything else we should know?’ whether they said yes or whether they said no,” Pelosi told reporters.

Yup, Nan is behoovin like crazy in hopes that her lie to cover her own screw-up goes away with this in the news. If the digging really digs, Nancy just might take Leon down with her.

Crushing

It's been 20 years since MILLIONS of Chinese seized control of their Capitol in a damand of democracy. 20 years!!!

Martial Law had been declared on May 19th by Premier Li Peng and the people of Beijing responded by setting up barricades with trucks and buses to protect the demostraters in Tiananmen Square.

On the morning of June 4th, the Chinese rulers had had enough and sent in tanks to clear the square. Of those that saw it on tv, who can forget the picture of one lone sole standing in front of that tank. The rulers knew the world was watching and wouldn't allow the tank to crush him, unlike an estimated 2600 others. The Chinese government still claims it was 'only' 241. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did release a statement yesterday calling on Chinese authorities to "provide a public accounting of those killed, detained or missing, both to learn and to heal."

All that nasty stuff aside now though since we have a much more important issue......global warming. Even Speaker Pelosi, who was in China last week, avoided any talk of human rights. She was the person that, in 1991 helped unveil a banner in Tiananmen Square honoring “those who died for democracy in China. Although, personally, I believe human rights are extremely important to her, but it has got to be demoralizing for the Chinese to see her table it for polotics.

Dick and Nancy

So, why is it we have to wait for people to leave public office to hear what they should have been doing in office?

Cheney is my kinda guy. Not entirely because of his ideology or political views, but because he will 'usually' speak his mind. There is no doubt where Dick stands. If he doesn't like you, he'll let you know. Ask Patrick Leahy who was told by Dick, in public, to "fuck off". That's more of what we need. None of this, "my good friend from California" crap that you here when they speak of each other. I'll gaurentee you they're not good friends. You won't see these two stopping off for a beer Charlies Bar & Grill.

Today Speaker Pelosi said she isn't going to talk anymore about her claim that the CIA lied in 2002 about waterboarding. Why not? Seems to me that if you have that strong of convictions about not waterboarding, you would remember exactly what was said and when. You wouldn't have to read, word for word, a carefully prepared statement, then when asked a question have to refer to the statement using only those words. It just seems to me that if you're telling the truth, you wouldn't have to try to remember how and when you feel about something. It just seems to me.

When former V.P. Cheney spoke at the AEI a day or two ago, he spoke of what happened during those days saying "I do so as one who was there every day of the Bush administration who supported the policies when they were made, and without hesitation would do so again in the same circumstances." Granted, he was reading a prepared speach, but he would tell you the same thing if asked about it.

There's no doubt where Mr. Cheney stands on those issues, where Ms. Pelosi won't elaborate about her claims that the CIA lied, due to lack of prepared statements.

I didn't use these two of an example of where I stand, but a shining example of the hypocrisy that exists in our elected officials. We elect people for what they tell us while running for office. Thankfully some poloticians don't follow through after finding out what the office entails, but wouldn't it be nice if just a few were honest and stuck to the principles that got them elected?
