Follow Up - According to CBS Bush (approval) poll numbers drop to 34%
Note - *** Newsbusters says this poll is bogus , but we can spin it anyway we want and it won't change the fact that we are down and being summarily throttled. ***
Someone give that guy a brownie button. Or maybe a stupid stamp, or actually maybe an incredibly niave, shortsighted, no finger on the pulse of America ribbon. Either way, the worst is begining to happen. I said in my first post about this that this administration's message this week and in the weeks to come were going to be important. Well, you can see the result, not shocking, but not good either. I'll be darned if we did not just give the left the mid-terms all wrapped up in a nice big red bow. Not to mention an in where national security is concerned, where as I said previously, they had not even been allowed in the door much less had any credibility when speaking on the subject. To now I considered Karl Rove the Garry Kasparov of politics, what was he thinking?? Unless I am missing something, or our president takes his huevos back from Don Rumsfield, 34% is going to look good in a month. I watched part of the hearings this morning with our intel chief and even he didn't appear to believe what he was saying. I still just can't beleive that Rove would allow Bush to make this colossal a blunder this close to Nov. in an election year. That is unless of course they were all blindsided by this as they say, or they were niave enough to believe they would go unnoticed. Either way the worst has not yet past, we (Republicans) are in for some bumpy water ahead.

Verse of the Day 02/27/2006
Romans 8:26
I don't usually comment much on these but this one deserves something. Sometimes we don't know how to pray, or what to pray for, or even how to start a prayer. God is telling us through this verse that we only need bring our deepest hurts, needs, joys, etc... before Him and that His spirit will do the rest. Bless you all today!!
Bush's conundrums
I hate to say I told you so... Well wait, I won't say that quite yet but this is certainly a boost to my assertion that Bush's politics are going to serverly damage the poll numbers for the mid-terms. So far he has tried to do damage control but its not working real well. The article sites everything from the Hurricanes to Social Security, but I think we weathered those fine and moved on. Problem is now with this port deal they are being revisited again and people are starting to wonder what the heck this guy was/is thinking and unfortunately it does reflect badly on his party. Stay tuned for more, but for now check out this story...
GOP Governors speaking out
Rainin' in So. Cal.
Good afternon all, well it is a gloomy day in sunny southern california. Funny how that affects the mood huh? It is a fact that people who live in states like Washington and Oregon are more likely to be depressed. Why, becasue it is freakin' gloomy ALL THE TIME. I was there a few years ago for around a week and a half and I kid you not, it was dark and gloomy 9 out of 11 days. Rained for 6. Anyway, not a lot to say today because frankly, the politics of this country combined with this abismal weather are making my brain hurt. So rather than blog myself into a frenzy about it today I will just leave you all with a few gems from the world of internet news.

The Russia-Iran connection
I have been skeptical all along about the idea of saying to Iran, we don't want you to enrich urainium on your own soil but if Russia does it, then fine. Aside from the fact that Russia and Iran have always had a pretty cozy relationship to begin with, I saw this article today on Debka and it confirmed some of my fears and suspcions regarding the straw man I described above. What the article essentialy says is that Iran will agree to a significantly modified version of the agreement to have Russia enrich "some" of their urainium but will matintain the ability to produce weapons grade material on their own soil. So really instead of solving the problem it really only leaves the problem as is and creates a new one which is Iran gaining Russia's technical knowledge of Nuclear Physics. Not a thought that makes me all warm and fuzzy.

Normally I wouldn't give this the time of day...
***This is a Christian blog, but if you don't want to be offended stop right here*** But I had to comment on this story I read on Drudge this morning. Apparently it is Sex, uh I mean sweeps week and Oprah, being the class act that she is, has, yep you guessed it, sex addicts on her show all week. Not so bad right? I mean she is sort of a philanthropist, always lookin' out for those in need. Wrong! I am sorry but even in the name of compassion, or even good TV, the last phrase I want to hear on television ever is "So you've had men ejaculate in your face?"
Like a teacher without any students... NO CLASS!!
Not that I watch Oprah anyway, but there is just no excuse for that.

So...Two defeated zionists walk into the golden dome
with a bomb under one arm and a some imperialist propoganda under the other. The first defeated zionist says to the other "How many virgins does it take to welcome one jihadist into paradise?". The other says "I don't know, brother schleme, how many?" To which the first defeated zionist replies, "72, 1 to kiss his cheek when he arrives and the other 71 to collect his remaining blackened, discharged body parts." (Wah Wah Waaahhhh!)
Ahmadinejad is back, and he is just as wacky as ever!! Yes, folks from the man who brought you, "The Holacost, The myth", and such favorites as , "Israel should be wiped off the map", comes the new hit single "Defeated Zionists and occupiers blew up the Golden dome". Yes, you too can own these and many, many more! Availible from Ronco, all rights resereved.

Poll numbers will tell the tale
I posted recently regarding the UAE port deal and the fact that the liberal wing (or most of them anyway) of the Democratic party is coming out against it. I have followed the various statements made by both sides of the aisle and I stand by my original assertion. During an election year, this could be a gold mine for the left if they work it right. Firstly, they were the first to yell "Fire", always a plus, secondly, our Republican president has become defensive, if adversarial when confronted with the concerns of the congress and now I am sure much of the American public. National Security has been our political ace in the hole for quite a long time now, my guess is there are some right wing hearts a racin' on the beltway this week trying to figure out what direction that Mac truck came from and how they didn't see it before they were all political road paste. Think about it, even if Bush changes his mind, it is just that, at best. Agreeing with the left's original assertion that it was a bad idea. If he continues on his present course of making threats and vigorously defending this deal the damage could get much, much worse. In my mind the best thing Bush and we conservatives can do is to let the Democrats scream bloody murder and hope that (as they often do) they will overshoot the runway completely and end up making asses of themselves on an issue they could have won very handily. To be more clear, yes we think the port issue is a bad deal, no we do not want our ports controlled by an Arab state run company. But the facts are definitely not all in just yet, there may be more to this story than meets the eye. Let Congress do their investigation and if the findings are as many people now believe, (conducive to this deal being a horrible idea) then we will have to take it on the chin and move on. If, however, there is something we are all missing, and this deal turns out to be legit, the screams of the left turn out to be a political red herring. Then they look really stupid for jumping to conclusions and we look at best the concerned party who wanted more info, and at worst, in a rush to put a legitimate deal through without going to congress for approval. Either way in the end the polls will tell the tale. I would love to be a fly on the wall at Gallop in a month or so when this all shakes out.

Ok now I am getting upset
Today President Bush issued a threat to veto any legislation that stands against the UAE port deal. If that were not bad enough, that warrior against terror, that destroyer of Islamo-Facism went on to imply that to oppose this deal would be disriminatory. Of all the ignorrant, untrue, self-righteous statements he could have made... Well don't take my word for it, listen to him, "I want those who are questioning it to step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a Great British company."
All of the sudden? I mean is he freakin' serious?? That sounds more like a statement Ted Kennedy would make. Sorry George, but DUH! I feel silly even having to say this, the UAE was linked in significant ways to the attacks on 9/11, from their state run banks laundering terrorist money, to their being a zone of safe passage for 9/11 terrorists between the Arab world and the west, and there is more. But that alone should at the very least give him tremendous pause for thought and have him encouraging congress to do an investigation. I mean has he forgotten the China/Unocal fiasco, tell me how this is different? Congress Rejected it then and they should reject this now. Dam I'm glad we live in a Federalist/Democracy!
Lock your doors and bolt your windows....

Happy President's Day
In honor of this day I thought it would be fun to post about the religous and spiritual leanings of our presidents throughout history. Follow the link below and I hope you find it interesting and informative!

List of U.S. presidents and other info
Dem Slogan for 06/08 - We're tough on National Security!
I don't know if anyone has noticed this or not, but in addition to it being a really bad idea, this UAE port fiasco is also costing the Republican party points on National Security. Lets face it folks, whether we like it or not President Bush is our poster boy for "Tough on Terror", and he is currently being punked in the media by every wussie boy Liberal who has the moxie to book a segment on nightline. Normally they are just spouting the same old stupidity that keeps them losing elections, but this time they actually have a point. They are on the right side of an issue for once (someone get me some smelling salts) and we are playing catch-up. Watch closely as this developes, you are going to see more and more democratic hopefuls on TV coming out against this in the next few weeks than tinfoil hats at a Cindy Sheehan rally. We (Conservatives) have considerable ground to make up here so make sure your senators feel it! Oh and by the way, can someone tell Bush his fly is down on this one, its getting embarrassing!
