Color?

Obama's skin could be as white as as snow and he'd still be as black as mud and as red as Stalin...

I'd take JC Watts over anybody who ran this cycle, with the possible exception of Duncan Hunter..

HJC,and this azshat WONDERS why we think the way we do. This gives "condescension" a whole new meaning. I would NOT VOTE for Obama if he were lilly white or tt pink! Put JC Watts,Michael Steele,Jindal,etc. out there,and I'd be RIGHT THERE. Again,Nutarette ENTIRELY misses the damn point. IT AIN'T THE SKIN COLOR,MOE-RON. It's the ideas emanating from that empty head we don't like,Ruben. LEARN IT,LOVE IT.

"cling to their guns and their religion"

As did our forefathers. Any person who looks down on folks who "..cling to their guns and their religion.." is not someone we should trust with our nation.

Colin Powell

may not be out of it yet.

Any rank above LtCol is political. And remember Gen. Powell had stars. Four of 'em. So Powell has to be a bit of a politician. Perhaps he is waiting until this country is totally fed up with the fiasco of Comrades Obama, Clinton and McCain. Perhaps he is waiting until '12.

OT, but worthwhile

For those of you have not done so already, I invite you to go read Peggy Noonan's commentary today on the Republican party.

Scathing.
Brilliant.
Here is an excerpt:

...This was a real wakeup call for us," someone named Robert M. Duncan, who is chairman of the Republican National Committee, told the New York Times. This was after Mississippi. "We can't let the Democrats take our issues." And those issues would be? "We can't let them pretend to be conservatives," he continued. Why not? Republicans pretend to be conservative every day...

As much as I love Ann. I think it likely stings the powers that be more when Peggy Noonan is the one holding the rolled up newspaper, and that newpaper she is swatting them with is the WSJ.

A question for you:

I have been posting to Gray Ghost, asking if he would like to be part of a blog that featured military stories, from all the branches.

He agreed, and I am in the process of setting it up.

I am trying to get as many other vets in there as writers to share their stories and experiences.

Would you be interested in being part of this?

Let me know, and if you are, I will have the blog send you the invite to be one of the writers on it.

This invitation is for all vets and active military, so anyone else that sees this post and is interested, drop me a post at my blog, fountainabbey.blogtownhall.com, and let me know.

Speaking of guns

Off topic a bit,but we had an episode this week that reinforces guns deter/prevent crime.

Tuesday a couple armed criminals attempted to rob a local convenience store and were surprised when the clerk shot back.He was a lousy aim and missed but no cash was taken.

Wednesday three scumbags attemted armed robbery at another convenience store.Again,the clerk shot back and,the good news,he bagged one and the scum was shortly picked up at the local hospital.He ratted out his other two buddies,one of which was picked up.The other is still loose.

Anti gun laws are bad and CCW laws do work...

This is the only thing that qualifies him to be POTUS. At least in the Libs mind. He has no experience, no real plan and has no clue. There isn't one of the 3 that I will vote for. None of them have America's intrest in their plans. They are all out for themselves. This guy in particular will be spending his whole time in office repaying all of the political favors that he is racking up along the way.

snob

What this guy means is that of all the white people smart enough to know what's good for them (liberals) 70% are racist.

He is analyzing democrat primary polling numbers.

A proper conclusion to draw from his own research is that white liberals are racist.

This dumkoff is a graduate of an institute of higher indoctrination, and has no comprehension skills.

is going to be played out, over, and over and over again.

If you don't vote for Obama you will be called a racist. You got it down pretty good gunny.

And then we have Michelle Obama who wrote papers on her dislike of white people, asking that they put white people behind Obama while he is making speeches.

Can you imagine if the McCain campaign announced that they want more black people behind him, as a prop, when he is making speeches?

Can you spell projection?

I knew you could. The only reason Obama gets this support from Reuben and co. is because of his colour, well half of it anyway. So if you don't want to vote for him, it must be because of his colour too.

Honestly, were he white he'd have been neck and neck with the ambulance chaser at best. And if I'm wrong, I'd like to know who the last presidential nominee was to merely have the qualifications Reuben lists. One term in the Senate, good grief.

So.....

Issues don't matter to this libidiot. Only the color of the candidate's skin.
We will hear a lot of this kind of thing during this election season. It will be one the underlying themes in almost every story that includes Barry.
We already see the media ignoring Barry's slip ups in his statements and many speeches. Barry seems to think that Afghanistan is full of Arabic speaking people. Among other dumb things.
Like Rush pointed out, if his last name were Quayle, he'd be getting an ear full from the media.

Again. But what else would you expect from a Marine except expert marksmanship.

There is a 60 page position statement on OVomit's web site that claims all kinds of "specific actions" he will take if elected.

The total cha-ching is just not in the galaxy of possibility. Approx 15-25 Trillion of our dollars just for his new plans, and no cuts in all the existing ones were mentioned, specifically.

His plan, to promise the world to the world, and when elected, claim it is not, after closer exam, financially possible to do any of what he promised. Except make cozy with auccchhhhmadenijihad, the whacked out pres of Iran. Oh, and put in a judge or two or more who would use their sensitivity of humanity to bring a more gentle touch to the law, as CA judges have shown. Oh yeah, his Michelle the belle would be a SC Justice, I'd wager a paycheck on it. What fun...

Gunny - A couple of points --

First, R. Navarrette couldn't find his backside with his hands tied behind his back. He is the wishy-washiest try-to crowd pleaser in the whole of opinion writing. I begin growling in resistance every time I see his face.

Second, I'm glad you picked up my "obamination" label. I think it fits. (It was a few weeks back that I inserted it in a comment on one of your blogs. The more I think about it, the better it does fit.) He and his whole raft of a family in my opinion are an abomination. And race has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't care if he were purple or green or striped blue and yellow. He's still the first of the worst. His attitude reeks.
