Obama Damaging Women's Health

Governor Sarah Palin and her family have been under relentless attack by Barack Obama, David Axelrod, and their media stooges.

The following letter from "RB" is right on target regarding the sexism and misogyny of the Obama Campaign and its minions in the media. As usual, it's a story the MSM is refusing to discuss. The following letter meanders slightly, but it is a cry-from-the-heart about the devastating effects Obama has had on our society and its politics.

Dear Liz – I do hope you are doing better and your hip is healing. Knowing you, while you were cutting that branch you were stewing like me over all this negativity around women…………..

I don't know if you realize just what this election is doing to women. When I read the problems your friends are having and knowing other women Hillary supporters who are having medical issues, I see nothing but confusion, anger, depression, families fighting within themselves, friends fighting.

It all makes me feel like what have I really achieved……… in this election? Basically, one man -- Obama -- destroyed Hillary, playing the race card over and over.

I am reading such horrible comments on the websites (“whitey will wax our shoes”…… and other terrible comments about women), and I just feel like I don’t matter and other women like do not matter.

For the first time I am afraid to put a bumper sticker on my car for fear of violence. Look at how they protested in front of McCain’s house. People do not realize that this is serious stuff when you make promises, as Obama has, that you cannot keep.

There is just plain thuggery out there – all niceties and values are out the window. Nancy Pelosi apparently became a woman who broke through barriers, but now I realize that there are no barriers for women of the upper class. And when I heard Sally Quinn say of Sarah Palin, “she is not of the establishment”…….. what is that supposed to mean??

Look at how stupidly Congress is trying to add pork to a bill our COUNTRY needs for the economic crisis. The DNC blame the RNC, but THEY the Dems were at the wheel for nearly 3 years now. Did not Christopher Dodd see this, Barney Frank, and even Obama (as well as Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, and others)?? You cannot blame Bush for everything – you have to take responsibility and be accountable, and they the Dems have failed to do so.

I was so against the war when all those solders were dead or badly injured, but with the surge I felt optimistic and more so now. But I do agree that this was not a war we should have had. But you cannot put back the milk once its split. What do you think?

Women were told that if you are an achiever and a mother you can "go places" – but does that mean going down only??? Hillary has been round the block, though even she must be depressed and confused with all this.

But Sarah Palin – what did she do? She rose from the ranks of the PTA, had children and one special needs child, and this is the abuse she is getting for achieving, pulling herself to reach the sky? I just cannot believe the venom and hatred spewing out of the mouths of women. The Feminist Movement is DEAD. All they have done for women is burn bras, and the rest is NADA.

I always thought that this is what the movement wanted – a woman who pulled herself up (did not whine), had a family and was successful. Boy was I wrong!!! I felt s honored to know about Gloria Steinam and told my kids all about her……….. now I wish I had not met her because she is not for women’s rights, just for one issue “pro choice” and is a true Elitist……….

Now, we have to keep on hearing all these remarks about women and this poor woman who is so far removed from Washington being picked on daily…… I know all the adage it comes with the territory, but this is not the territory – it is sheer madness and sheer vulgarity.

Look at The View, an icon of America. Barbara Walters is really down in the gutter with the company she keeps. I admired her as she had achieved so much, but she is just a shrill machine for ratings, and is really down in the gutters.

I really feel so down with this election, and I think we not just as women, but as a nation get McCain elected. I wish I did not have medical needs and was a few years younger. Believe me I would travel down to PA.

Am I the only one feeling down and depressed, or have you heard from others? What recourse do we have to this ………. From the emails of today I feel that nothing is going to help. The Empty Suit will probably give us 4 more years of hell.

Anyway, I could not sleep and just wanted to share my thoughts with you knowing your background.

Take care, my friend.

"RB"

Democrats: Horror Stories, Intimidation, Anger

I've been printing one e-mail after another from Democrats who are disgusted with the fraud, sexism, and left-wing idiocy of their former political "home." In fact, the Democratic Party has become the haven for the corrupt, the socialistic, and the unpatriotic. That has been happening for years, of course, but Democrats are starting to notice, and the implications for the Party are not good.

Here's how Latonia, a Hillary Supporter, puts it:

"I don't understand why Republicans aren't trying to figure out how to come together and beat nobama. It seems that both parties have serious flaws. As soon as this election is over - I am going Independent - no party loyalties for me."

Also, consider the following messages from two long-time Democrats, both arden feminists. They're none too happy with Howard Dean, Donna Brazille, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and the Party's other "worthies." How is this showing up in the real world of politics? You can see the results in today's Zogby Poll, which I discuss on another blog.

Here's what Frances said in response to a friend who told her Hillary was caving in to the demands of King Barack:

"Your message suggests that "the fix is in." Why else would Obama go from 'We don't need catharsis' to a rapidly suspicious turn around--welcoming HRC's name being placed on the First Ballot at Convention, as if he had thought of it? By [Hillary's[ actively campaigning for him I can't help but consider her an abused woman standing by 'the man' after he bloodied her nose and blacked her eyes. If her arm has been twisted to make the motion to nominate BHO by acclamation, I will never vote Democratic again.

Frances adds: "[Hillary] may be a long suffering, loyalist Democrat, giving in to the bully boys. I am not. I will not, and I her 18 million Democrats will not vote by acclamation. The stolen delegates are like zombie stalkers and will haunt the party for decades to come. Her campaign was not out-organized. It was out-defrauded."

Frances' friend Ann, another former solid Democrat, responded this way: "Frances, you go girl. More than 18 million Dems and many more Independents (& all the Republicans) know you speak the truth."

It's important to know that it's not only Democratic women who are angry at what they increasingly see as their former Party. Consider the following e-mail I received from Fred B., a Democrat in north-central PA:

"Hi. My name is Fred B., and I'ms from [north central] Pa. I want to get involved in the campaign for McCain, and was wondering who I would have to talk to. I'm a Democrat and have worked previously for Democrats. That doesn't matter does it? Let me know what I can do."

I told him his Party affiliation didn't matter -- and it doesn't. Increasingly, I'm getting e-mails from across the country sent by people like Fred. They are the keys to McCain's good performance in the polls. It's critical that Republicans and Independents greet such people with open arms.

My friends, we are building a mighty coalition. Increasingly, there is a scent in the air that smells like victory!

Graphics: Hillary Clinton John McCain

This Citizens for McCain image of Hillary Clinton Supporters moving to McCain as their second choice appeared on www.JohnMcCain.com, the main web site for the McCain Campaign. It was a remarkable occurrence.

Is Hillary really FOR McCain? In the campaign, she said the following: "I have a lifetime of experience. Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience. Barack Obama has a speech he delivered in 2002." Millions of Hillary Supporters are now poised to vote for John McCain. If you're one of them visit and sign up at the following sites: www.clintons4mccain.com, www.missionnobama.com, and www.realdemocratsusa.org.

You can get the Hillary-McCain graphics, as well as a lot of other great material at the following: www.not-obama.blogspot.com. Please let your friends and family members know they exist and where to get them.

Eighteen million people voted in the Democratic Primary for Sen. Hillary Clinton. A majority of those voters believe the nomination was stolen from her by the DNC and people like Howard Dean, Donna Brazille, and Nancy Pelosi. The Hillary voters believe Barack Obama is inexperienced, unqualified, untrustworthy, and even dangerous. His plan to "invade" Pakistan, an ally and one with nuclear weapons, is one of the most bizarre statements ever made by a presidential candidate. Recently, he's been over trying to negotiate, basically as a private citizen, with the Prime Minister of Iraq. Call it "The Audacity of Arrogance."

Why Feminists Shouldn't Vote Democratic

Cynthia Ruccia, Ohio Democratic activist and McCain Supporter.

Cynthia Ruccia's column today on Clintons4McCain is a good one and worth reading. As you might imagine, I quarrel with Cynthia (and her friends, ALL of whom seem to be Democrats) about the relative merits of the two parties.

In her column, Cynthia says the following about the implications of her deciding to support McCain: "My decision to protest the treatment of Hillary Clinton was going to be the maximum protest -- I was going to vote for John McCain. Period. My Democratic friends and family reacted with horror, “You’re NOT going to vote for MCCAIN?!!!” as if I had decided to endorse a vicious disease. I understood where they were coming from, and although my mind was made up, it was hard to deal with their incredulity towards my decision. I guess I still had a Democratic hangover."

To every Democrat in America, I'd like to offer the following comment: "Relax, in no way is voting for John McCain equivalent to an immoral act. In fact, it might be the most morally sound decision you've ever made."

With all due respect, my response when I read Cynthia's words above was as follows: Have these friends sought professional help? Sometimes the Democratic candidate is far superior to the Democratic. AND SOMETIMES THE REVERSE IS TRUE. I don't regard that statement as profound, but instead obvious.

In a Pennsylvania House race in 2006 (in my district), there was a contest for between powerful Democratic House whip Mike Veon and unknown Republican, Jim Marshall. The Veon ads (he raised a whole lot of money) were simple.

They featured a seriously overweight guy with a vacacant look who said the following: "It's really simple. Mike Veon, dimmiecrat [his pronunciation]. Jim Marshall, Republican." (Our district is heavily Democratic).

My response to the ads was this: "Mike Veon, crook. Jim Marshall, honest man."

To the amazement of everybody in Pennsylvania, Jim Marshall won handily. I fear many of Cynthia's friends, the Beaver County version, would have voted for Mike Veon, because he was in fact a Democrat.

Late last week, Mike Veon, along with many of his Democratic associates in the PA House, was indicted. There were 59 counts (and could have been many more) of bribery, misuse of taxpayer funds, violation of campaign laws, and on and on. He faces possible fines of $860,000 and (theoretical) jail terms of 381 years, which would mean he'd have to live a very long time.

The correct person to vote for in the 2006 election was Jim Marshall, Republican. Sometimes Republicans are criminals and no one should vote for them -- I certainly wouldn't. Some Democrats are cynics and inferior people -- go read CREW's (Committee on Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) analysis of the 20 most corrupt congressmen -- and no one should vote for them.

For me, this has been one of the most startling discoveries I've made in my lifetime: that some people assume a Party membership confers some sort of righteousness/worthiness on a candidate. Obviously, it does not.

I also strongly disagree with Cynthia on where the right political home is for feminists. If she assumes the treatment of HRC, feminist, is some sort of strange aberration that will be ended by vigorous demonstrations in Denver, she's dead wrong. The kind of "feminism" the Party is encouraging is exemplified by Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazille, Kathleen Sibelius, Claire McCaskill, Rachel Madow, and Michelle Obama.

I'm glad Cynthia is going to vote for John McCain -- almost overjoyed -- but I hope that wise vote is accompanied by some fundamental re-thinking about her Party.

Frankly, why did so many luminaries in that Party (Dean, Kerry, Kennedy, Rockefeller, Daschle, Gore, Casey, and others) stab Hillary in the back? And why did they believe -- and still believe -- that they can get away with it?

I fear they're assuming that Cynthia's friends -- and tens of millions like them -- will come around in the end and vote for the pathetic Obama. Are their assumptions correct? We shall see.

Pelosi, Murphy Fiddled, America Burned

Obama backer Nancy Peolosi and one of her key allies in Congress, Rep. Patrick Murphy of PA's 8th congressional district. Murphy's district voted for Hillary Clinton by an almost two-to-one margin, but he has been one of Obama's most ardent supporters. His opponent in PA is Tom Manion, who needs your support. Manion, whose son died in Iraq, has significant backing from Hillary Supporters. Murphy and Pelosi are just two of the legislators who have fiddled while American burned.

Many Hillary Clinton Supporters now backing (or leaning toward) John McCain realize that there is something radically wrong with their Party -- the Democrats. In fact, the Democrats' mistreatment of Hillary Clinton is only part of the story. Especially since the election of 2006 -- but tracing back almost a generation -- the Party's positions have done great harm to our country.

Facts are facts, and sometimes good intentions can have disastrous consequences. Beginning in 1982 -- the year Barack Obama's buddy, Dick Durbin, entered Congress -- Democratic legislators began blocking offshore oil drilling in the U.S. That is one of the causes -- a major one -- why gasoline prices are soaring above four dollars. If legislators continue as they have in blocking exploration and refinery expansion, four-bucks-a-gallon gasoline may soon look like "the good old days."

By the way, Sen. Dick Durbin has significant opposition in his race this year. Dr. Steve Sauerberg is mounting a furious campaign against Durbin. Of course, Durbin's favorite for the presidency, Barack Obama, thinks the rise in gas prices is a good thing. Obama believes it will reduce demand for oil. Of course, $6 or $7 gasoline would reduce it even more.

Malia Nash (Sanity102), a native Hawaian and American patriot, sent me the material in the following paragraphs. If GOP candidates run on these points alone -- all of them factual matters -- they will rout their opponents. Being in Congress is about providing leadership, and the Democrats have provided none -- period. Every Republican candidate -- challengers and incumbents -- should be running on the following points.

Just two years ago, remember the election in 2006? Two years ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; and,

3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

However, since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet to historically low levels;

2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon;

3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 20% increase);

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (mainly stock and mutual fund losses);

5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; and,

6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we sure got it!

Remember, it's Congress that makes law -- not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him, and Pelosi, Reid, and their cronies have stripped America's cupboard bare.

Note: The above material (with some distinctive additions) is appearing on all my blogs today, because it's very important. I'll add some more comments today about Dems' role in skyrocketing gas prices. Thanks for visiting.

TONI GILHOOLEY (R) BLAMES TIM HOLDEN (D) FOR GAS PRICE DISASTER

GAS PRICES = SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Toni Gilhooley supports a real energy policy aimed at lowering skyrocketing gas prices. The simple plan is in stark contrast to the inaction taken by her November opponent, Tim Holden, and his Democratic House leader, Nancy Pelosi.

Nancy Pelosi’s 2006 campaign promise that Democrats would provide, “a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices (4/24/2006 – average gas price at the time $2.33 per gallon),” has never been revealed. Since that time the average price per gallon has ballooned to near $4 ($3.95 5/29/2008) per gallon.

To date, no “commonsense plan” has been introduced by Pelosi or the Democrats to combat escalating fuel costs. The only way to reduce prices is to increase the supply of energy. Pelosi and Holden have stood against drilling for oil in the barren Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and offshore. Their inaction has cost Americans dearly at the pump and in the pocket.

Toni Gilhooley, as one of many measures in a comprehensive energy plan to be released in the coming weeks, supports drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and in American coastal waters. China has been given permission by Cuba to drill less than 50 miles from the coast of Florida.

“If we had taken measures to drill in ANWR and other areas ten years ago when Tim Holden voted NO and President Clinton vetoed a bill to allow it, we would not be experiencing the highest gasoline prices in history today. These extraordinarily high prices are affecting working families adversely in everything from food to transportation. We can no longer afford Tim Holden and his policies,” said Toni Gilhooley.

PA Superdelegates Trashing Hillary Clinton

I've been asking everyone who visits my sites to join a very important group, Clintons for McCain. It consists mainly (although not exclusively) of Hillary Clinton Supporters who now back John McCain for President. To win the election, McCain will need the backing of millions of Hillary Supporters. Clintons for McCain -- and there are many similar groups -- are a critical element in Sen. McCain's quest for the presidency. Please join today.

Hillary Supporters know that the Obama Campaign portrayed their candidate as a warmonger, a liar, and a racist. They also remember Obama surrogate Samantha Power calling her a "monster." They reject Obama's hypocritical call for their support. Their motto is "NoBama!"

Many Hillary Supporters have been active in Democratic causes. However, they're learning that the Democratic Party neither values nor respects their views. They're finding out that Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid want their votes (and money) but not their participation in the real workings of the Democratic Party.

To their dismay, they're discovering that all the talk about SuperDelegates "reflecting the will of the voters" was just so much chatter. In my Pennsylvania blog especially, I've been talking about Democratic congressmen -- Jason Altmire, Patrick Murphy, Tim Holden, and others -- ignored the fact that their district went strongly for Hillary Clinton.

Murphy's district, the 8th, went almost two-to-one for Senator Clinton. However, he was one of the first Superdelegates to back Barack Obama. Any Hillary voters who support Murphy are ignoring the dirty dealings that went on in the 8th district. Murphy has no business remaining as a congressman.

Other Superdelegates, including Altmire and Holden, are behaving like the ultimate political weasels. Altmire (PA's 4th district) insisted on June 5 that he remains "undeclared," but he added that he "supports Obama." He really appears to believe he can have it both ways.

As for Tim Holden (PA's 17th district), he said months ago that "the candidates" knew which one of them he favored. Sadly, the voters had no way of knowing what was in Holden's head. Now, rather than declaring, he says the issue is "moot."

Are people like Murphy, Altmire, and Holden shameless enough to continue asking for the votes of Hillary Supporters? You betcha. They believe their bizarre actions have no consequences. They can ignore their districts' voters, but the electorate is not supposed to ignore them.

Altmire, Murphy and Holden have Republican opponents. Holden and Altmire have female challengers -- Toni Gilhooley and Melissa Hart. Murphy's opponent is a career Marine -- Tom Manion -- who lost his son in Iraq.

I admit we Pennsylvanians usually love to vote for candidates who proclaim themselves -- falsely but persistently -- to be "cosnervative Democrats." Altmire, Murphy, and Holden do that. But the odor from the Democratic Party's Pimary Debacle is strong enough that PA voters are set to provide Democratic turncoats with a big surprise.

Hillary Supporters: "Mad as Hell"

Two Noted Hillary-Haters, Nancy Pelosi and PA Congressman Patrick Murphy. There is a national effort underway by supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton to target for defeat SuperDelegates like Murphy who support Obama in direct conflict with the wishes of their constituents.

Rep. Patrick Murphy (Bucks County, PA) getting the evil eye from his political mentor and fellow Hillary-Hater Nancy Pelosi. Murphy, a former Army lawyer, basically sold out his fellow soldiers (see below) for "considerations" by Speaker Pelosi. Patrick Murphy believes he has settled down in DC for a cushy political career of handing out favors and taking a "what, me worry?" attitude to national security. Don't get too settled, Patrick, because Tom Manion is gaining on you. Manion, an American hero whose son, Travis, died in Iraq deserves your support. If you've just received your stimulus check, please consider donating either one-third or one-half it to Manion at: http://votemanion.com/. Please send it in memory of Travis Manion.

Of course, if you're the rare breed that prefers political sleaze-bags, youl'll probably feel comfortable with Murphy. "Just say . . . enough is enough." National Hillary Supporters groups are targeting Obama-philes like Murphy, a SuperDelegate who supported the Illinois Senator, even though his district (and state) went overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton.

ON MAD-AS-HELL HILLARY SUPPORTERS

Amazing isn't a big enough word for what follows . . . but as the husband of one wife and father of five daughters, most of whom supported Hillary Clinton, I'm not totally surprised.

"Go to the window and open it up, and shout out, 'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!'" (Peter Finch, in "Network")

Jean Avery of http://moms4mccain.blogspot.com sent me the following fascinating material from an angry Hillary Supporters thread. Fascinating isn't quite a big enough word. Stupefying?

-- Steve, I posted your HillarySupporters blog link in comments on this thread, will keep you posted!

My comment: I support John McCain for President. I believe Hillary Clinton waged a tough (loved the shot-and-beer episode) campaign, and that she received a raw deal from the Obama group and the national media.
