Clearance Denied
Obama’s security risks. 95 percent confusing. Judah couldn’t run the VA any better. Plus more.
(Page 5 of 5)
George Bush is a decent human being who got elected and re-elected and has had a rough eight years, made rougher by criticism from his own party. I, for one, wish him well.
And come November 5 we are going to rejoice in a restrained way, or go into deep mourning as we see wealth redistributed, troops un-funded, Bill Ayers as Secretary of Education and God and Obama know what else… We will have time to reflect on how we wrote our criticisms of our only other choice for the next four years.
Tonight as I saw John McCain at the Al Smith dinner, I wondered why this man could not have shown us his human side, his wry humor and sharp wit these past months, instead of plodding along as though he were a geezer lost from his group on an outing from the rest home.
There, I hope I have cheered frost up a little. He is one of my favorite fellas. And I’ll bet he doesn’t re-locate after the election. None of the Hollywood people who threatened to, did when Bush was elected.

Thanks, Diane. Yet, those few marginal accomplishments of Dubya (a few judges and a tax-cut or two, since manhandled a bit?) fail to make up for the very true sense of flat-out Betrayal; we voted for a guy do do stuff, and he did the opposite 'way too many times. Sure, Bill Clinton was an ass, but, hey, we sure didn't expect much. Dubya's been an awful president, so very disappointing it's sickening. So far as our splitting for Costa Rica or Brazil (been to each a few times; Brazil is prosperous and free, like we were 40-50 years ago, before the Terminal Political Correctness set in), it certainly is 180-degrees from the reasons Alex Baldwin, Susan Surrandin and those other dippy nutcases gave. Simple preservation of one's sanity, maybe? Perhaps if there were more Coburns, Palins, Goldwaters, DeMints and Ron Paul types around -- but they're so badly outnumbered by the whores, pandering opportunists and creeps, as we're outnumbered by the apathetic, ill-educated, unmotivated and selfish parasites. Would love to be my usual optimistic self, but I fear for our kids. And theirs.

I worked as engineer several years at the Savannah River Site, dismantling the hydrogen-bomb producing reactors and vitrifying the radioactive wastes. There is no way that revolutionary marxist Abu Hussein could have gotten the security clearance even to clean the johns there - and now he wants to be commander-in-chief???

Nothing makes sense out of the entire socialist illuminati camp. The only thing I hear is spreading the wealth, but half of America is ignoring those words.

Nut jobs at this blog. Same people who ran the economy into a depression. Hard to look in the mirror and try to actually make government smaller. Repubodummies socialized the banks.
