It’s best to go to the Americans for things American.Firstly, from Vox Day, the little matter of the Congressional attempt to legislate to regulate the blogosphere. The idea is that if you want to make political comment, you need to be registered as a lobbyist. Anyway, the vote went this way:
The vote was 55 to 43 to defeat the provision. All 48 Republicans, as well as 7 Democrats, voted against requiring bloggers to register; all 43 votes in favor of keeping the registration provision were by Democrats."
On Obama, Vox reports:
The Lizard Queen doesn't take kindly to rivals: Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage?
He comments:
He's not only a lightweight, he's less electable than Ron Paul. The Lizard Queen could chew him up as a snack … More likely, she'll keep him around as harmless vice-president material. Any time he gets uppity, she'll just hiss: "zip it, Osama, or it's Guantanamo Bay for you!" My feeling is that Obama is playing for the vice-presidency anyhow.
Jon Swift comments:
Do we really want a President who has lived in another country, or even traveled to one, especially a Muslim country? Is Obama too pretty to be President? Does being black make Obama too angry to be President? What negative information is there about his wife? What kind of underwear does he wear? If the hard-hitting reporting we have already had on Barack Obama is any indication, the 2008 Presidential election is shaping up to be the most substantive and rigorous examination of candidates yet.
Don’t know about you but the idea of the Lizard Queen actually being in the race, let alone a chance to win, is disquietening enough. Her team is here and you’ll see she’s deadly serious.
Last word to Vox Day:
There simply isn't anyone else out there. In addition to the ongoing Republican meltdown and the way in which unelectables such as McCain, Giuliani and Rice are pushed forward, many Republican women will vote for Hillary Clinton simply because she is female.Never, ever underestimate the tendency of women to embrace their own, even in situations when it is manifestly against their beliefs and personal interests.
I like Hillary. Always have. Smart lady who caught a lot of flack for 'stuff' that she shouldn't have caught flack for. Always in the rifle-sights of the big insurance companies because her health ideas would gouge a hole in the side of their cashflow that they would never be able to stem. They spent millions to discredit her before - look out for more of the same.
ReplyDeleteall going nicely until saying Giuliani is unelectable?
ReplyDeleteyou what?? The hero of 9/11, unelectable?
The man who reduced crime in NY by 70%. Unelectable?
me thinks he Vox Day wishes upon stars..
It'll be Obama. As long as he gets his ears pinned back between now and the election.
