Theodore's World

WT... I love Ann's Human Events newspaper and website: www.humanevents.com
Ann is a Patriot and along with Laura Ingraham, the sisters of conservatism!

Awesome Chrissie!!!!!! Maybe we should write in Ann for President!!!!!!!! LMAO

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter are all against Mccain's presidency. That in itself should tell Republicans something.

I head Newt and Sean talking about Romney and Ronald Reagan. Newt said how Reagan was a Democrat and "converted" but the conversion didn't happen overnight. He said Romney was an independent and is converting to Conservatism like Regan did.

The more I see McCain get endorsed by the MSM, the more I'm leaning towards Romney. I will NEVER vote or support McCain.

Ann Coulter is sooooooooooo HOT!!!!!

I watched the Democrat debate last night and it occurred to me that despite the short sighted and unworkable "solutions" Obama and Hillary had on health care, illegals, the economy and the war, they sure made it SOUND good.

In contrast, McCain, the current leading republican candidate, seems only be able to regurgitate Name, Rank, and Serial Number as an answer to any question posed to him. You could ask John McCain what he had for lunch and he'd say something like, "Because I led the third largest Fighter wing in the US Navy." If you think I'm exagerating, go back and watch his latest performance at the Reagan Library and pay particular attention to his answer to the question, "What makes you better qualified than Romney to manage the economy"..

I've said before that if McCain went up against Hillary, it wouldn't matter what either of them said. The voters would go to the polls and vote against the candidate they HATE the most. I think it's clear Hillary has the greater number of detractors out there, which would thereby give MCain the win.

HOWEVER

There is a much different dynamic at work here. The most obvious is the possibility McCain would be going up against Obama. The difference in Obama is here you have a candidate that voters are voting FOR as much as they are using him as a conduit to vote against McCain. In addition, how can we expect McCain to challenge Obama's subtle scam answers in a debate when he can't even get past a straightforward question like "What makes you better on the economy?"

"Hi ,I'm John McCain" won't work any better than "Hi, I'm Bob Dole" did as an answer to the complicated questions that NEED to be answered by a Presidential candidate.

Next, let's look at the difference in the sound of the message. It couldn't be more stark. McCain has no optimism, no vision, and seemingly no plan for anything other than to fight Islamic terrorism. Although certainly a CRITICAL concern in a post 9/11 world, it is part of the drone of everything that is WRONG. It's depressing.

WE KNOW JOHN, YOU'LL FIGHT THE ISLAMISTS !!!! NOW TELL US WHAT THE HELL YOU PLAN ON DOING TO REDUCE MY HEATNG BILL !!!!

Obama on the other hand is continually painting a positive picture of hope. Even though that may be a water color which will run after the first rainfall, he is getting people to believe in him and his deluded visions. In short, he is a salesman.

Well guess what, Romney is a salesman too. There are many things that I find unsettling with Romney but at least he stands a chance to compete in a debate that will extend beyond the parameters of the walls of a POW camp. At least Romney can think on his feet and try to convey a positive demeanor rather than a monotone message of dread punctuated by a misplaced grin at the end.

One other potentially fatal ingredient here is the possibility of a Clinton/Obama ticket. Although there are pundits that say it'll never happen, I didn't hear that from either Clinton or Obama last night. If you listen to the response of the audience when the question was asked, it drew, by far, the longest and most energetic applause. It would ensure record turnout by the dems at the polls. There are two basic questions to consider here. One is "What WOULDN'T Clinton do to get back in the White House?" If you answered nothing, go to the front of the line. The second question is," Would Obama be happy as the VP?" If you answered 'of course', stay at the front of the line and collect your prize.

It has been said that Hillary would be more willing to put Obama on the ticket than the other way around, and I would tend to agree with that line of thought.....for now. However, I don't put ANYTHING past these two. Their desire to win trumps any rational arguement against them forming a team because of differences or personality conflicts. I'm sure both would be willing to set those differences aside in order to gain the reigns of power.

Time is running out. There are just a few days left before Tuesday. Please, think it over before you decide to vote for Dr. Gloom.

It's funny, I watched that discussion last night even though I had to gag when ever Colmes opened his mouth. Ann illuminated the entire nation to the truth about McCain and at the same time playfully tweaked the opposition. Gingrich was very tactful in his phrasing the inconsistencies of honest John, it was under John's watch that Newt got burned by the GOP.

Excellent comment Billy!

And, excellent commentary by Ann. She should be White House press secretary. If the Stupid Party had any sense-------. End of that thought!

BTW, Colmes list of McCain's Republican endorsers is a list of people leading the Party away from conservatism.

In this mess of a pre-election syndrome where I don't see one Person who is worth a tinkers damn
I read Victor Davis Hanson and damn if it wasn't
a breath of fresh air...so here is a cut and paste
so you won't have to look it up...

The Moral Economy
by Victor Davis Hanson
Tribune Media Services

In this heated campaign season, housing prices are plummeting. Banks write off billions of dollars in unrecoverable debt. The stock market wildly fluctuates almost hourly. Candidates promise painless and near instant relief.

But despite the politicians' rhetoric, it is not hard to understand why America is in trouble.

First, there has been too much madcap real estate speculation. In recent years, housing prices were driven sky-high on the expectation that almost anyone, often with little security, could profit by borrowing easy money to buy and sell property.

Too many investors lost the old pedestrian notion that the purpose of a house was to be a home in which to live, to raise a family and to take pride in ownership. Its acquisition used to be a multi-year, if not once-in-a-lifetime, investment — not quite comparable to the easy buying or selling of volatile paper stocks and bonds. Others did not have the means to afford the type of home they purchased, once risky variable interest rates climbed.

Gasoline prices, meanwhile, are well over $3 a gallon in many places, sucking hundreds of dollars out of annual family budgets. But how long did we really believe that oil-exporting belligerents in the Middle East, Latin America and Russia, or our economic rivals in China and India, were going to allow the United States to continue gobbling up a quarter of the world's daily output at $20 a barrel?

American households have on average the largest houses in the world, the most cars and plentiful conveniences like big-screen televisions and DVD players. Yet there is a growing sense that we are paying the tab by borrowing trillions from the Chinese, Japanese, Europeans and South Koreans.

Some economists might argue that it is a win/win situation to have others toil to send us their cheap consumer goods, lend us the money to buy them and get little interest back on their debt. But when in history has a debtor ever felt better — in a moral, psychological or practical sense — than his lender?

Our candidates avoid that sort of honest tough talk. Republicans instead want an indebted government to pump up the economy by interest-rate cuts and tax rebates. And if we listen to Democrats, you would think no American could survive another maxed-out credit card without another new government bailout program.

Yet in truth, there are few options left to stimulate the already frenetic economy.

The United States is still racking up large annual budget deficits and trade imbalances — while serially piling up aggregate national debt. Soon America won't be able to meet its ever-expanding Medicare and Social Security obligations.

Current interest rates are not historically high. So cutting them might well convince our foreign borrowers to take their capital elsewhere for higher returns. And we can't pay for the federal programs we now provide, let alone expand them to offer universal health care or heavily subsidized college tuition.

What then can we do?

First, at this late date, Republicans shouldn't vote for any candidate who promises another tax cut without first offering a matching slash in expenditures. And Democrats should reject any candidate who promises another multi-billion dollar entitlement without detailing how the additional revenue is to be raised.

Second, instead of demanding new billion-dollar programs for health care and education, we should take more responsibility for our own welfare.

Americans need to readjust their budget priorities. One might be able to believe that a $200 dollar a month private catastrophic health plan is out of the reach of most Americans — if we were also to hear that sales of video games, cell phones and plasma televisions have crashed.

Third, we need to ignore the alarmist hysteria, calm down and appreciate that life is better than at any time in the last 5,000 years of civilization. People are living longer; we're healthier; and millions of Americans have the opportunities to travel, communicate and avoid physical drudgery that were once reserved only for a tiny aristocracy. There is plenty of excess in modern American life that can be shed without real hardship.

Finally, we must view our present economic challenges in a larger philosophical and ethical framework — and redefine success as being able to pay off what we owe, and spend only what we earn.

Who knows? Knowledge that we live in a nation that has a strong currency, no annual deficit and no aggregate debt to be passed on to our children might bring Americans as much pride and joy as the next iPhone or trip to Vegas.

Some very good comments Billy...superb.

Time for a massive campaign for a write in vote...MICKEY MOUSE FOR PRESIDENT! The rest are just cutting the cheese

I don't believe for a moment that Hillary or obama would pick the other for a running mate. Hillary is all about Hillary, she is not going to have a co-presidency with B. Hussein Obama, especially with the power base he has established.

I believe they geniune dislike each other, that snub at the 'state of the union message' was no fluke. Obama's stock is on the rise he has gained almost 20 points in a month for the upcoming Super Tuesday. He can win without the Clintons and he knows it.

As far as McCain goes he could very well be named as Secretary of Defense for a Clinton Administration and fit in quite well., Hillary in leather and whips and McCain in his tites...OMG what a nightmare that would be.

The establishment Republicans are backing McCain, they could care less what we the real conservatives say or even want.

It is a done deal we are to lose in November. The best we can do now is to vote in as many Republicans to the house and Senate as possible to make the next four years as palatable as possible. That is of course providing there still is a constitution.

Ann Coulter rocks! As the saying goes, "the truth hurts." When all is said and done, the fact of the matter is that John McCain will never be President. Anyone who believes that he will, including McCain himself, is having a wet dream.

I will not repeat the long list of well documented reasons why John McCain should not be President but suffice it to say that I will never vote for him. Like Ann Coulter, if the choice is between McCain and Clinton and the election seems close I will even consider voting for Hillary to keep that RINO maniac out of the White House.

My opinion is that the country is too far gone on it's path of committing national suicide stupidly chasing the Holy Grail of Socialism to avoid personal responsibility for ones own life looking to a nanny state government to provide for all of one's needs. We are in for another Jimmy Carter like disaster no matter whether Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or G-d forbid, John McCain becomes President.

Billy, excellent analysis and thank-you for sharing. I will be voting for Romney on Tuesday. However, I disagree with you on one point. You say that, " WE KNOW JOHN, YOU'LL FIGHT THE ISLAMISTS !!!!" I don't know that.

He wouldn't allow water boarding of a terrorist even if it would prevent another 9/11 (or worse) to save tens of thousands of lives. He refuses to actually close our borders to help prevent Islamic terrorists from entering our country. McCain wants to close Gitmo and transfer it's prisoners to U.S. soil where many will end up in our courts to be released on technicalities. How would he fight Islamists if we were attacked again on our own soil?

Would he first go to his Democratic friends in Congress like Clinton, Kennedy, and Feingold begging for their approval to act and commit troops. Would he first supply them with detailed costs, mission, estimates of casualties, and an exit plan with firm dates? Just what does anyone think that John McCain would do to fight the Islamists considering that he will be dealing with a Democratic controlled anti-war and anti-terrorist war Congress?

Darth, yes they are both really good.

John, haha she pulled it off so great.

Bob, yes the list is growing and I am glad. Thanks for sharing about what Newt and Sean said.

Steve, she is pretty and I am glad she is on our side. They can keep their Susan Estrich's and Helen Thomas's. haha

Billy thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope more and more people realize the truth about McCain too.

I watch all the debates and never miss any of them. The same when the conventions happen. I want to know what is going on regarding both parties. Your right about how McCain answers questions put to him.

Regarding Obama or Hillary having each other as VP, I just can't see it happening.

Jack, your so right Newt was using all his tact when he talked about John.

Tom, oh my gosh I would love to see that, even if it could only be for one press conference. LMAo that would be soooo perfect Tom. heh heh

I agree with you too about the endorsements for McCain.

Tincan Sailor, thank you, I alwasy like to read Victor Hanson. He is right, I wish our politicans would read him and learn something.

GUYK, haha we better ask Minnie Mouse how she feels about it. heh heh I bet she would make a fine First Lady too. Good to see you GUYK.

Mark, Nick said that tonight too, about how we need to vote in as many Republilcans as possible to the House Senate.

Les, exactly!!! IMO McCain is no better then Hillary or Obama.
