Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


She arrogantly assumed that the African American community would loyally support her no matter what and stubbornly stood by and watched her husband damage her campaign; denying the obvious until it was too late.

As Obama was racking up impressive victories across the country, Hillary refused to acknowledge these defeats or congratulate her rival; when she wasn’t spinning them as “inconsequential states” she acted as if they simply didn’t exist.

Her campaign is constantly spinning expectations beyond all credibility. Just this week her campaign stoked accusations that Obama was plagiarizing speeches from Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and then Hillary absurdly denied involvement blaming the media for the story.

And even today when her campaign is on the edge of defeat she simply won’t admit reality. She has never once shown even a hint of remorse about her past actions, her campaign strategy or acknowledged any mistakes. When asked, she denies even contemplating losing.

After all these years perhaps Hillary simply believes that she can once again outlast her opponents and browbeat the press. But today she isn’t battling over-reaching Republicans but her own party. She isn’t running against an unpopular president but “the most gifted African American politician in a generation.”

All of her stubbornness and arrogance won’t save her if she can’t find a way to stop Obama’s momentum. If she can’t pull out some impressive victories in Ohio, Texas, or Pennsylvania she will soon find herself forced to contemplate the cold hard reality of losing.

And maybe for once she could finally admit that it was her fault.

Ron Paul Primary Opponent
Ron Paul has a very serious primary opponent in TX CD14. Some polls have him leading Paul for the Mar 4 primary. Whoever wins the primary should win the general easily.

Chris Peden is the Mayor Pro Tem of Friendswood (Houston suburb). Chris is a Conservative Republican (pro family, anti drug, pro military, economic conservative) who favors the marriage amendment.

You could really help the Rep Party if you could donate a few $$. Chris is just starting to run radio ads.

You can donate at http://www.chrispeden.org/

I am not affiliated with his campaign in anyway but I heard own of his commercials today and checked him out.

If Huckabee wanted to do something favorable for the Party he could come do a fund raiser for Chris.

The Real Showdown Isn't a Democrat One
The Question is can McCain realistically be expected to represent, let alone lead the Conservative Movement in the GOP? Does anyone really expect him to compete with Obama? Because this guy can - and I've got a hunch Texans will "get it" - they are in many ways ahead of the rest of the country down there.
