After The Republican

I have an item up at RedState today. I posted it there as it may be Ohio election-related eventually and RedState editor Eric Ericson was kind enough to let me guest post it. John Kasich may run for Governor and the media is already starting with a suggestion that he'll have problems simply because he worked at Lehman, though he didn't work in the mortgage end of the business.

It’s Never Too Early To Target A Republican

You have to give credit to old media. While an Obama appointee who failed to pay his taxes, even after having been reimbursed for the money by his international employer, is dismissed as only a speedbump for an incoming Democratic administration - speculation that an otherwise successful Republican pol, media personality and businessperson may want to run for Governor of Ohio in 2010 is enough to start drawing misdirected fire his way.

Obama Should Emulate Ronald Reagan, Voters Tell Pollster
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
By Pete Winn, Senior Writer/Editor

Then-President Ronald Reagan at the Voice of America. (AP photo)
(CNSNews.com) - Americans would like to see incoming President Barack Obama use Ronald Reagan as a role model.

When given the choice of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, George Washington, Andrew Jackson, JFK, Dwight Eisenhower, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan – registered voters overwhelmingly said they want the new Democratic president to emulate the late conservative Republican president, who held office in the 1980’s.

I realize now that he was the guy who spent all his time on his cell at the "historic luncheon". Initially CSPAN had a great shot of him talking away but ultimately he realized he was being taped and went behind a column and turned his back on the CSPAN camera. Wonder who he was talking with and what he was talking about.

That guy has some head of hair. The pointy ears and the eye brows remind me of "Mr. Spock" though.

[Fred Beloit]

It seems CNN has a better name for our country. This is a headline on CNN Politics:
"Press Review: World hails 'United States of Obama'."
Can you say over the top?

LOL.....ah yes, Manfred Nowak, who screamed and squealed about how "unfair" the treatment of the criminal Saddam Hussein was.

It should be no surprise that leftists like Bruno Lakesvaag, who were shamed and humiliated by the fact that Bush exposed their support of torture and bribery under Saddam Hussein, should want revenge. It only shows how pathetic and petty they are, inasmuch as they refuse to admit that they fully supported and endorsed torture, genocide, and environmental destruction on a massive scale so that they could line their pockets with oil money stolen from Iraq.

You should now indict him and his bad fellow criminals for all the criminal acts they have done:

That will be the best and most swift way of getting you back on your feet.

Thanks for posting. The educated half of America agrees with you. Unfortunately we have what we refer you as a wingnut faction of Americans that hate everything America is supposed to stand for. Rule of law, abiding by the Geneva Convention, and not attacking and invading countries that were no threat to us.

Very sad but we are on the road to recovery.

[Fred Beloit]

No, no ,no, Brownose, you are off on the wrong track again. Instead of confirming this guy for Secretary of the Treasury, we should indite him for tax evasion. This is reason number seven of ten available here:

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/top-ten-disturbing-aspects-of-obamas-choice-of-treasury-secretary/

"7. False attestations
Further supporting my evasion assertion, Geithner told the IMF in writing year after year that he would pay the tax, but didn’t. As Byron York reported at National Review on January 14:

At the end of the tax allowance form were the words, “I hereby certify that all the information contained herein is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and that I will pay the taxes for which I have received tax allowance payments from the Fund.” Geithner signed the form. He accepted the allowance payment. He didn’t pay the tax. For several years in a row."

[North Dallas Thirty]

Sorry, jharp, but America doesn't stand for support and endorsement of terrorism and genocidal regimes like you and your fellow Obama Party members do, as is shown in your support and endorsement of Saddam Hussein and the corrupt UN bureaucracy that took billions of dollars from him while millions of people were starved, imprisoned, tortured, and killed.

[Fred Beloit]

NDT, don't you know that Harpo doesn't consider the Iraqis as human. He has often said as much. Sort of like the way Kos sees our troops, "Screw them."

[North Dallas Thirty]

Aside from that, Fred, jharp and his fellow Obama Party members hate our troops and support terrorism. That much is made clear by what they do and say.

And Fred is a dirty rotten lowlife scumbag liar.

You got any evidence to substantiate your lie, Fred?

Or have you become so desperate that that is all you have left?

[North Dallas Thirty]

You got any evidence to substantiate your lie, Fred?

I do; your complete support and endorsement of Saddam Hussein and his practices.

Notice how the leftist Bruno Laksevaag accuses Bush, but has nothing to say about the clear genocide, torture, starvation, and murder of millions practiced by Saddam Hussein, all with the support of bribed UN officials.

Hatemongers like jharp who call our troops "uninvited and unwelcome intruders" and who, like Obama, support apologists for Osama bin Laden are not "educated"; they merely are puppets who echo the racism and hatred of European leftists like Bruno Laksevaag.

[jharp]

I believe - in a few years, nobody will admit they ever supported Bush!

Posted by: Bruno Laksevaag | Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at 02:58 PM

Don't know how closely you followed our election but believe it or not we had a VP candidate even more ignorant and vile than Bush. Sarah Palin.

And 25% of American's supported her. Shocking and unbelievable.

The facts are that we have have a certain percentage of our population that refuses to think, were raised Republican, and refuse to question anything a Republican says or does. They would vote for Adolf Hitler if he had an R beside his name.

America's biggest enemy is ignorance. And it has taken over the Republican party. Thank God enough people saw the the light and voted a capmetent, honorable, and intelligent man into the White House.

We are very happy about it. And 84% of Americans are supportive of Obama.

The other 16% post here.

[Fred Beloit]

See, Brownose? Here is your colleague in treachery, jharp, the cool, calm voice of reason. "And Fred is a dirty rotten lowlife scumbag liar."
You chose him, I would choose someone else.

[North Dallas Thirty]

LOL...notice how the screaming jharp attempts to slander Sarah Palin, again through innuendo without a bit of fact.

Meanwhile, the screaming jharp supports as "excellent" corrupt and racist politicians who cheat on their taxes, steal from charities to pay their massive salaries, and lie about it.

And do you want to see your endorsement of that again, jharp? We can keep showing it. Over and over and over again. You support tax cheats and liars. You've said tax cheats and liars make "excellent" public servants.

"And it is You and not me who compare him to Bush."

Yep -- mainly to point out how leftists like yourself who throw screaming fits about Bush had nothing to say about Saddam Hussein.

"The world need to see honesty!"

Such as the "honesty" exercised by the UN in the oil-for-food bribery scandal and its coverups and support of Saddam?

"Then you follow the law we agreed on"

Such as what you endorse and support when practiced by anti-American terrorists?

http://www.aliennationreport.com/pg5.html

Do you realize that the Obama Party and people like jharp aid and abet this behavior?

Isn't Kasich the guy who has the Heartland program on Fox?

Doesn't the Secretary of the Treasury have an enormous amount of power as regards the TARP stuff? You would think then that they would nominate someone whose background is cleaner than a hound's tooth?

[templar knight]

"...but is this normal?"

No, it is not normal. Normal people would have shut their mouths and had a little respect. On second thought, it is normal behavior for a leftist like you. Now, take a hike, troll! We already have enough trolls to fill Dan's quota.

As for attempting to put Bush on trial for torture, I sincerely hope and pray that the Democratics do just that.

Old bruno is pretty funny. He links to a UN official who is demanding the prosecution of Bush all the while his fellow UN officials are being caught with kiddie porn, and covering up torture and abuse of children all over the world committed by UN officials and "peacekeeping" troops.

Bruno, you just got clubbed with the hypocrisy cluebat. Could there be a more vile, corrupt organization than the UN? The answer is no. Bruno, go away...far away...and contemplate your ignorance and stupidity.

[Fred Beloit]

"Is it normal that 2.000.000 people on the Capitol Hill scream “buuuh!” for the outgoing administration."

No it is not normal, and the number is far less than you say, Brownose. It is just a few and with some sort of weapon in hand they usually scream, "Buuuh, give me all dat money."

[Lala]

Actually old Bruno comes from the Islamic News Agency - no doubt harpo's new best friend -

[LOL]

Lehman brothers went bankrupt because of the Credit Default Swap industry as well as the mortgage crisis. Its bankruptcy along with the CDS industry allowed the failure of Lehman to spread to AIG. And in turn it continued to spread.

Conservative bloggers really know so little about the world, it's pretty amazing.

"Sort of like the way Kos sees our troops, "Screw them.""

This is just too much.

Yes I served in the Army, total affiliation with the Army about eight years, two years active duty.

[North Dallas Thirty]

Yup....funny, neither Bruno or jharp, the big supporters of the UN, have anything to say about the fact that the UN apparently endorses and supports child exploitation and pornography.

"We are all Americans now..."

Sorry, YOU are not Americans. You have to be born here, and we don't give a rat's ass what you think, bruno. Or your fellow leftists in the UK. They should be taking care of their Muslim problem rather than meddling in the affairs of another country. Hehe!

[Fred Beloit]

By the way, LOL, you forgot to clarify that at the time of the photo, Iraq was at war with Iran, Iran which not log before had taken about 100 Americans hostage and held then for about a year. So what's your point.

Incidentally, when the new Pres speaks personally with Ahmadinejad, as he seems eager to do, or send he Hillery or whoever, I would not be surprised to see a photo of the event like the one you have presented here.

[North Dallas Thirty]

"Let me also clear the air about who has supported Saddam Hussein in the past"

Hmmm, LOL....if that's the case, why did Rumsfeld push so hard to get rid of him?

Furthermore, given that your Obama Party insists that Saddam did nothing wrong, that he wasn't torturing, committing genocide, or anything of the sort, why would it be a bad thing for Rumsfeld to be pictured with Saddam? Can you answer why you considered Saddam to be so awful that you tried to smear Rumsfeld with him, but then why your Obama Party resolutely opposed any attempts to get rid of Saddam?

In addition, when it comes to Kos, we should remember that Kos fully supports and endorses hate speech, violence, and vandalism being practiced against our troops, just like the Obama Party does.

Hey, Bruno, have you a frog in your pocket?
"Her is a small sample of what we think:"

[mark l.]

"And 84% of Americans are supportive of Obama."

"At the same time, the survey suggests many remain concerned about the potential impact on the government's budget. Sixty percent said they worry more that the government will spend too much money and worsen the deficit, while 33% said they worry more that the government will spend too little."

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123196999580982953.html

he can sit on that 84% for the next four years, provided he does nothing.

[Fred Beloit]

Here, LOL, from the invaluable Malkin:
"A year ago today, left-wing blogger and Democratic strategist Markos Moulitsos Zuniga of the Daily Kos cheered the brutal murders of four American civilian contractors in Fallujah–all of them war veterans with distinguished records, three of them fathers–with the following infamous words:
“Screw them.”"

[Lala]

FDR and Uncle Joe Stalin were the best of friends - so?

[Fred Beloit]

OK, LOL, I should have said veterans and American citizen contractors to the U.S. government, you know the government Obama works for.

Again, Dan, we beseech thee. This creep has got to go. All the other blogs have banned him. He has no life, no job, can't sexually satisfy his wife and embarasses his kids daily. why do you let him take his irrational rage out on your blog?

In the meantime, somebody has to say it:

Fuck You, jharp.

[Fred Beloit]

I wouldn't go touting the UN too much around here, Bruno, if I were you. We (I too have a frog in my pocket) don't like the UN's record. It's one of cowardice, corruption, and hypocrisy. We should get out of the UN all together.

"He has no life, no job, can't sexually satisfy his wife and embarasses his kids daily."

Larry Kudlow and Jim Cramer (opposite ends of the political spectrum) seem to have reservations about this guy as do others on CNBC. They should really poll the American people and find out if they have reservations too.

Why has many of my postings been deleted? This is the only country where I ever have experienced such thing. Is this server located in the US – the land of freedom? free speech?

[templar knight]

"Why has(sic) many of my posting been deleted?"

Because Dan owns this blog and he's tired of you using up all his bandwidth with your shit. And we're just tired of you. As for free speech, start your own blog and speak all you want, idiot. No one is required to put up with your shit on their dime. Jesus, you're one dumb rube!
