Republican Battle for Party Chief Pits Leaders, Base
Bloomberg.com for COMPLETE ARTICLE

Republican leaders’ efforts to select a new national party chairman are stirring concerns among a vital constituency: Republican voters.
Rank-and-file Republicans are telling their leaders they want more ethnic, gender and age diversity in a party that is dominated by white males. They also want party leaders to cooperate with President Barack Obama, according to surveys.

Wild Thing’s comment……….
This article ABOVE is a very long article, it is one page at the website but small print so it would be way to long to post here and I think we all need to read it if you have the time. According to this article, the “base” wants the party to be even more liberal. It says the base wants leaders who will cooperate with Obama. Sounds like more of those “reach across the aisle” types. No thanks. This article above is obviously intended to push rather than report. I am glad John sent it to me because we need to see the propaganda and some truth thown in too is being written and how these lefties in our party are working to destroy us…..the conservatives.
I have to say that is it a known fact that there have been people on the LEFT that have registered in the Republican Party for one purpose only and that is to destroy it. To bring it down and make it as liberal as possible.
Two years ago when the election began for President I was shocked at how a few, only a few, of the so called conservative bloggers were putting down good conservative people in our party, people that have worked hard back when Reagan ran for President. I was in a group of bloggers that I am no longer a part of and the whole reason I no longer participate is because I will not be associating with groups of any kind that want to mock and bash conservatives that have been heroes to we conservatives and what has set the RNC apart from the DNC.
One of the reasons I am a dittohead a Rush listener is because he has been consistent and never wavered in his being politically conservative. He thinks like I do on so many things.
I am going to post Rush’s take on here about this article. Rush spent most of his third hour discussing it on Friday, and I want to show you a few things he said about the article above. I will post the link but I am not sure if it will work if a person is not a member of his Rush 24/7 it might not show up.

Liberals Plan to Separate Elected Republicans from Their Voters
I think what’s coming is going to be a concerted effort by the Obama administration to separate our elected officials from us on the Republican side. Colin Powell is working on that. Colin Powell is already out there saying Republicans should ignore Limbaugh, meaning conservatives, plus me. McCain, New York Times story today, “The Maverick is Back.” And what does that mean? It means he’s back criticizing the Republican Party, and they’re celebrating it. So I think what’s going to happen, Obama had a meeting with congressional leaders today, and it’s a wild guess, but my assumption is that there’s going to be an attempt made to separate elected Republicans in the House and Senate from their voters.
The effort’s going to be, “Don’t listen to what your voter says. It’s not the way this is going to get done. We’re not going to get things done up here unless we work together my way.” That’s what Obama is going to say.
Now, I will say this. John Boehner came out of that meeting today with the president, and he said some pretty good things. He said, “We’ve gotta remember here that we’re not spending our money. This is not ours to spend, this is our kids’.” Right now, just the cost — forget the deficits that have already built up to a trillion to two trillion dollars, annual deficits — just the cost of this stimulus, as it stands now, is about $6,700 per family if they came and collected it from us. At some point, we are going to pay that, somehow, some way, by hook or by crook, with increase in fees, increase in taxes, we’re going to pay this, and it’s not going to stop at $6,700 a family. And Boehner is pointing out that Republicans, Mitch McConnell, Jeff Sessions, there’s some people up there that are willing to oppose this and stand up to it. And there’s some who aren’t. But it’s going to require a strong backbone and the guys that oppose are going to have to know they’re supported for doing so. I’m talking about elected officials.
Republican Party is made up of a bunch of elites, moderate Rockefeller types. And the dirty little secret is that they resent being in the same party with a bunch of people who are pro-life. Plus these guys, these Rockefeller liberal Republican guys, wives are always nagging ’em about abortion, to get the Republican Party to get rid of it ’cause.
A Bloomberg story out just this afternoon by Heidi Przybyla: “Republican Battle for Party Chairman Pits Leaders Against Base.”
Now, wait. It’s not what you think. “Republican leaders’ efforts to select a new national party chairman are stirring concerns among a vital constituency: Republican voters.” Tell me if you believe this. “Rank-and-file…” This is what it says here. “Rank-and-file Republicans are telling their leaders they want more ethnic, gender and age diversity in a party that is dominated by white males. They also want party leaders to cooperate with President Barack Obama, according to surveys.” Now, let me continue. “After losing the White House and 28 seats in Congress last year, some party leaders still aren’t hearing the message from voters who are urging them to claw their way back to power by promoting minorities and striking a less partisan tone, said Rich Bond, a former Republican National Committee chairman. ‘We need…'”
This is Rich Bond who used to run the party. “‘We need a great deal more tolerance for the other guy’s point of view,’ Bond said. ‘Not everybody comes from the same constituency as a majority-white homogenous district in the South where all people care about is keeping their guns and taxes.'” Rich Bond, yeah, he ran the party back during Bush 1. He was President 41. I met him in Houston. Now, look, I asked you, if you believe this. This is not the first… Well, I asked you if you believe that rank-and-file Republicans — those of you in this audience are rank-and-file Republicans — if you are telling Republican leaders that you want more cooperation with Obama, that you want “more ethnic, gender, and age diversity in the party leadership,” do you believe this?
I’ll tell you why I believe it. I do believe that somebody can go take a poll of a sample of Republican voters and get this result. What I really believe. know it’s Bloomberg, I know it’s the media, but Rich Bond, a former Republican National Committee chairman, “We need a great deal more tolerance for the other guy’s point of view,” meaning liberals. We need to be more tolerant of them. He’s saying we need to be less tolerant of our own voters.
Now, Rich Bond sounds exactly like Howard Dean when he says this.
Now, I believe that Rich Bond said it, and I believe he thinks it, and I think a lot of the other elite, country club, blue-blood… You know, the old stereotype of the rich Republican fat cat smoking a cigar? Those people are largely Democrats now. But the Republicans still have their elite, and Rich Bond is typified it. I know this from personal experience ’cause I encountered it. I’ve told you the story. Big, big dinner party, powerful, powerful people from New York, it was out in the Hamptons. And after dinner out on the deck of this stylish seaside mansion (a very powerful, a name you would know) fundraiser and donor for the Republican Party, came up and tapped me on the back and said, “What are you going to do about all these religious people in our party?”
“What am I going to do?”
“Yeah, they’re killing us! This abortion, it’s killing us.”
This is back in the nineties. This is the early nineties, and they laughed. “I’m just kidding you. I’m just kidding you. You’re the guy that can talk to them and you’re going to have to get them off of this abortion business or our party is going to die,” and you’d have to say the party is dead and these guys are running it, are they not?
I have read a little bit more of this Bloomberg story, and it gets worse.
Rich Bond, a former Republican National Committee chairman, said, “We need a great deal more tolerance for the other guy’s point of view,” meaning Democrats and liberals, “Not everybody comes from the same constituency as a majority-white homogenous district in the South where all people care about is keeping their guns and taxes.” You know, I said it sounds like Howard Dean. It sounds like Obama and his bitter clinger comment it. It actually sounds more like Barack Obama. So the Republican Party, which swept to landslide elections with Republican voters from the south would just as soon now be rid of you, and the reason why is because they have no Republicans in the House from the northeast.
read this further. “The hard line taken by the leaders has already cost the party.” They’re saying there has been a conservative hard line taken by the party. I would like to see it, ’cause it is nonexistent. There has not been a conservative hard line taken by the party. Anyway, “The hard line taken by the leaders has already cost the party, which has become increasingly rural and Southern. With the defeat last year of Representative Chris Shays in Connecticut, Republicans no longer hold any House seats in socially moderate New England. The party also lost three House seats in New York, one in New Jersey–” Yeah, you know who they’re losing ’em to? Conservative Democrats! They’re losing these seats to Democrats who are more conservative than these Republicans. Nothing against Chris Shays, but it was about time. He was nothing but a RINO, Republican in name only. I tell you what, what we’re learning here — and we don’t even need to learn it, we know it — with these guys, it’s party first. Ideology is second, third, fourth, fifth, maybe not even that high.
This party, whoever’s running this party is so out of it. And Colin Powell says, “You gotta stop listening to Rush Limbaugh.” Trust me, General Powell, they have years ago, and now they’re just being honest about it. “We don’t like these supporters we have in the south, we don’t like them, they’re too white, too homogenous, all they care about is guns and taxes.” (phew) If they succeed in this, if they alienate 25 or 30 million voters — one thing I don’t believe in this survey is I do believe that a certain segment of Republican voters wants to work with Obama, again, from the religious influence here. But that represents a cave-in, at least to most conservatives. But regardless, we’ll take it for what it is at face value, ’cause it is what it is. It just finally illustrates I have been right about this all along in talking about this party and where it’s headed and what they’re thinking at the leadership level of it. Don’t ask me what we do about it yet, folks. They’re imploding, they’re doing it on their own. They’re driving you out of it. All you can do is at the grassroots take it over. That’s had to have been done a number of times, by the way. It’s what Reagan had to do.
You wouldn’t believe the unsung heroes from 1976 on that were working the grassroots, people like Paul Weyrich and Phyllis Schlafly, you would not believe all the work that was going on without any fanfare, to take over the grassroots so that local elections and primary elections and congressional and Senate races were won by conservative candidates.
I know that. I’ll hold my end up, but the Drive-Bys are going to be presenting an entirely different picture. It’s going to be an epic battle, as Saddam Hussein said. Saddam Hussein Obama said, “This is going to be the mother of all battles.” Have we heard anything about George Obama and the hut? It’s amazing.

Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand

New York Post
ALBANY
Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York’s junior senator, it was learned last night.
The surprising – and, for many Democrats shocking – decision to pick the conservative Gillibrand, 42, from Hudson in Columbia County, was disclosed by the governor in calls to party officials and some members of the state’s congressional delegation, many of whom said they were unhappy with the selection, sources said.
The decision was a major rebuff to some of the state’s best-known Democrats interested in Clinton’s seat, including Attorney General and former federal Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo, for whom Gillibrand once worked as a junior lawyer; Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi, and Reps. Carolyn Maloney of Manhattan and Steve Israel of Suffolk County.
Sources said “at least five” members of the state’s Democratic congressional delegation called Paterson to protest the possibility of Gillibrand’s selection.
One, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of Nassau County, even threatened a primary challenge. Gillibrand faces a special election in 2010.
Democratic activists predicted that Cuomo, son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo, would also “seriously consider” challenging Paterson in a primary next year.
Gillibrand has won two successive elections in one of the heaviest GOP districts in the state, first upsetting incumbent Rep. John Sweeney and, in November, defeating former state GOP chairman and multimillionaire Alexander Treadwell, in one of the most expensive races in the nation.
Liberal Democrats have been wary of her because she ran for re-election with the backing of the National Rifle Association, opposed the federal TARP program to rescue banks, and has been less than enthusiastic about gay marriage.

A film about the show trial in Amsterdam, in which Geert Wilders has been accused of hate crimes against Islam.

NRC Handelsblad
Geert Wilders was “completely surprised” when he heard on Wednesday that the appeals court of Amsterdam ruled he shall be prosecuted for hate speech and inciting discrimination.
Wilders says he is “shaken, but also very angry and ready to fight.”
And from FOX news……………
Dutch Lawmaker, Charged With Insulting Islam, Fears Prison Sentence
A member of parliament in the Netherlands who has been charged with “insulting” Muslims says he fears he will be found guilty and sent to prison in only a few months.
An appeals court on Wednesday overturned a previous decision by prosecutors not to charge Geert Wilders, and ordered that he stand trial.

“The decision of the court today was so strong that there is a real chance unfortunately that there will be a guilty verdict,” Wilders told FOXNews.com. “In fact, it was so bluntly motivated that it already looks like a verdict instead of just ordering the public prosecutor to start a trial.”

Wilders, who produced a controversial film that was highly critical of the Koran last year, says he faces a maximum of two years in prison if convicted. He said he had expected to be charged, and he has retained legal assistance from a U.S.-based nonprofit to help him defend himself.
Prosecutors initially declined last year to charge the right wing politician after he issued his short film, “Fitna,” which juxtaposes Koranic verses over footage of violence committed by Islamic terrorists.
A three-judge appeals panel on Wednesday ruled that Wilders’ insults to Islam were so egregious that the principle of free speech was not sufficient defense.

“The court considers [Wilders’ film] so insulting for Muslims that it is in the public interest to prosecute Wilders,” a summary of the court’s decision said. The court explained that Wilders’ claims in “Fitna” and other media statements were “one-sided generalizations … which can amount to inciting hatred.”

“I lost my freedom already four and a half years ago in October 2004, when my 24-hour police protection started because of threats by Muslims in Holland and abroad to kill me,” he said.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
When I used to read somethings like this, I would say thank God this cannot happen in the United States. I wonder for how long I would be able to say that.
With Hussein as President of the USA anything is possible and not for good but for bad things.

Sarah Palin may be shopping a book
The former GOP vice presidential candidate is reportedly working with Robert Barnett, who brokered deals for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Some reports say she is seeking as much as $11 million.
Los Angeles Times
Palin has reportedly enlisted the services of Robert Barnett, the Washington lawyer who represented President Obama, would-be President Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton in their multimillion-dollar book deals.
Barnett declined to comment. But a variety of published sources, including the Hollywood Reporter, said that Barnett was on board in helping to sell a Palin book.
Presumably, the book would tell her side of the 2008 presidential election, when the GOP nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, plucked Palin out of relative obscurity and offered her the vice presidential spot. Though she was a darling of conservatives and ignited the Republican base whenever she appeared in public, Palin has made it known that she had a difficult time with McCain’s strategists.
Throughout the campaign, Palin was kept under wraps by staff, and her appearances were carefully orchestrated in the failed hope of protecting her from ridicule. Frequently when she did engage the media, she appeared ill prepared at best and hopelessly naive at worst. Her comments on Russia and politics were a steady diet for late-night comedians.
During the campaign, there were charges that Palin tried to censor books at the Wasilla, Alaska, library when she was mayor of that community. Though the reports turned out to be overblown (she did ask the librarian about removing some books and then dismissed her along with other officials), the ink stuck to her, helping with conservatives and hurting with other voters.
Still, for many on the right, keeping Palin on a tight leash was one of the campaign’s significant failures. The GOP ticket was ahead in some polls going into September, when the economy tanked and McCain’s drive to White House faltered.
The economy could also be a factor in how much Palin, whose family is not wealthy, could earn from any book. In recent months, reports of her wanting as much as $11 million for her memoirs have surfaced, though she could get far less. Former First Lady Laura Bush just sold her memoirs for less than $2 million.
But there is more than money at stake. Palin has been trying to stay in the spotlight, presumably with an eye on 2012, and a book could help as well as giving her some sort of a base beyond Alaska.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
I hope she gets a sweet deal. More then the lefties ever got and lines will form at book stores, and I bet it will go #1 very fast! Take that, President Milli Vanilli.

A confused President Obama’s Signing Of Executive Order To Close GITMO! He was unable to clearly describe the orders he was signing. ~ Wild Thing

Obama Issues Directives on Detainees, Interrogation, Guantanamo (Abortion too)
President Obama on Thursday issued at least three executive orders and one presidential directive relating to national security and one abortion policy order, all reversals of Bush administration policy.
Fox News

WASHINGTON
President Obama, putting his executive pen in his left hand to overrule eight years of Bush administration policy, signed “several” executive orders Thursday, including ones affecting national security and abortion policy.
The national security orders mandate that interrogation techniques in the Army Field Manual be used by all intelligence and law enforcement services; call for a task force to look at closing the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within the year; and orders a strategy to be developed for handling detainees in the future. The presidential directive also orders a stay in the case of Ali Al-Marri, the only person being held by the military as an enemy combatant on U.S. soil.

“We intend to win this fight. We’re going to win it on our terms,” Obama said as he signed the orders and the directive in the Oval Office. Obama explained each order before he put his pen to them, in some cases reading them in full, and occasionally solicited input from White House counsel Greg Craig to make sure he was describing them correctly.

The executive order says everyone in custody should be questioned under the Army Field Manual, which is intended for honorable combatants, meaning POWs in a military conflict. The rule would prevent trained interrogators at the CIA from using lawful interrogation techniques against terrorists who have been trained to withstand Army Field Manual techniques.

“The message that we are sending the world is that the United States intends to prosecute the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism and we are going to do so vigilantly and we are going to do so effectively and we are going to do so in a manner that is consistent with our values and our ideals,” the president said.

According to sources in the law enforcement community, the executive order on interrogation does not declare “enhanced interrogation techniques” to be torture; the order is silent on that.
While the administration has insisted on one interrogation standard, one source says they are thinking about assembling a group within the next 60 days to make recommendations on a set of separate techniques for the intelligence community to use.

Separately, according to a draft of the Guantanamo order, “the prompt disposition” of detainee cases should “precede” the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison. Whether that means the detainees have to be tried if possible before the closure is still unclear.

The order directs all information regarding the remaining 245 detainees be consolidated in a central repository and will create a panel to review those cases and split the detainees up into three categories.

Category one is comprised of the 70 detainees that President Bush sought to repatriate but couldn’t because no country wants them, and they would likely be tortured at home. The Obama administration believes they can get foreign countries to take them.

Category two is the group of detainees that can be prosecuted under war crimes in Article III courts federal courts designed to address cases that involve citizens of other countries or tried in modified military commissions. This includes Sept. 11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammad. The administration would seek a stay on habeas petitions in Article III courts and continuances on the ongoing military commissions.

Category three is made up of detainees who can’t be released and can’t be tried. The thought is to create a panel, which could turn into a national security court, to handle these future highest-value detainees to determine prospective policy since terrorists like Al Qaeda chief Usama bin Laden will continue to be caught.

As for Al-Marri, whose case is before the Supreme Court, the intent is to try to make sure the detainee is tried according to the same rules as others who will be subject to the new orders.

Al-Marri was arrested in Peoria, Ill., a couple of months after the Sept. 11 attacks and is accused of being an al Qaeda operative sent to the United States on Sept. 10, 2001, to take part in another attack.

In 2003, President Bush signed an executive order labeling Al-Marri an “enemy combatant” and removing him from civilian custody. The order made the Defense Department responsible for Al-Marri who has been kept in isolation at the Navy brig in Charleston, S.C. His lawyers argue that the president has no “inherent authority” to hold him without charge for an unlimited time.
Separately, the administration in the afternoon issued a reversal of a ban on federal funding for non-governmental organizations working outside the U.S. that offer abortions or abortion counseling.

Abortion: Obama signed the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Obama infers that the United States was committing war crimes, by his comments and actions. He states we will now use the military code of justice on matters like this. He grants them full Geneva Convention status by doing so.
This is sooooooo wrong and Obama has no clue how dangerous this is.
“Separately, the administration issued a reversal of a ban on federal funding for non-governmental organizations working outside the U.S. that offer abortions or abortion counseling.”
B.Husseion Obama thinks it is ok to torture and kill and unborn baby but not to torture a terrorist. Many people will die due to the actions of this guy. Obama’s CHANGE – Kill babies – nurture terrorists.
Plus what he has done is a slap in the face to our troops and all they have gone through to capture these terrorists.
OK troops here is your green light to take no prisoners.

Europe Lauds Obama Shutdown of Secret CIA Prisons
AP
Obama’s decision Thursday to shut secret CIA-run prisons abroad brought renewed calls for their locations to be disclosed as well a fresh denial from Poland, one of two eastern European countries most closely linked to the practice.
Across Europe, governments uneasy that CIA flights had been carrying terrorism suspects through their airports and air space for years said they were relieved to be heading into a new rendition-free era.
Dick Marty, the Swiss lawmaker who spearheaded the Council of Europe investigations that sought to expose the existence of clandestine interrogation centers in Eastern Europe and Africa, said he expected the truth would come trickling out once the centers were closed.

“For some countries, things are going to become very embarrassing. I think European countries would do well now to tell the truth,” Marty said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Marty said he “would be very surprised” if any CIA-run facilities were still operating in Europe, but added “in East Africa, or Morocco, I might assume there is something.” He said Obama’s order granting Red Cross officials access to all secret facilities might prove critical in revealing their locations, both past and present.

“There are no American prisons in Poland,” said Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Piotr Paszkowski. “We’ve said that many times in recent years and our position and statements haven’t changed, and we have nothing new to say.”

But Zbigniew Siemiatkowski, who directed Poland’s foreign intelligence agency until 2004, expressed doubts that Obama’s moves would make the West more secure from terror.

“It won’t make things easier … one will have to devise new methods, different methods,” Siemiatkowski said, declining to elaborate.

In Ireland, government and opposition leaders united in praise for Obama’s move.
The officially neutral nation had spent years uneasily permitting CIA flights to refuel at Ireland’s strategically placed Shannon Airport. On every occasion, the Bush administration insisted, no rendition suspects were on board. U.S. officials also said that Irish authorities never search the planes.

“Certainly, CIA planes involved in rendition refueled at Shannon and were going to and from Guantanamo Bay from Shannon.

Hey Eurotrash! This time “The Yankees Aren’t Coming”!!!!

Check this out! ………….
Spiegel Online
Bruce Riedel, 55, is an expert at the Brookings Institution, a longtime CIA veteran and an advisor since April 2007 to US President- elect Barack Obama on South Asia and terrorism. In a SPIEGEL interview, al-Qaida expert and Obama adviser Bruce Riedel discusses the fate of the remaining Guantanamo prisoners, how dangerous they really are, what Europe could do to help.
Riedel: Even if European nations, such as Portugal or Germany, would only take a small number — maybe half a dozen — it would still be an important support. The United States needs all the help it can get to clean up the mess left by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for the rest of the world.
SPIEGEL: What would countries willing to accept former prisoners have to deal with?
Riedel: They would have to keep a very close eye on the former prisoners for some time; they have to be under surveillance. It would be a financial burden, and the former inmates may file lawsuits in Germany seeking some kind of redress for perceived injustices, which German courts would probably hear. Also, (the former inmates would) need financial support, and it’s hard to imagine their finding employment.

Gov. Blagojevich Compares His Arrest to Attack on Pearl Harbor
FOX News
CHICAGO
Illinois’ embattled but defiant governor, so fond of reciting poetry as he defends himself against federal corruption allegations, has turned instead to the history books to describe the emotional strain his arrest put on him and his family.
In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared his early morning December arrest by FBI agents to Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
He says it was a “complete surprise” but he’ll prevail, just like America in World War II.
Blagojevich says there’s no chance he will resign before the start of the state Senate’s impeachment trial next week. He says he will fight the allegations against him “to the very end.”
The two-term Democrat is accused of scheming to swap President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat for personal gain.
Facing almost certain defeat in the Senate impeachment trial, Blagojevich might ask the courts to step in and block a proceeding that he considers “a sham,” a lawyer for the Democratic governor said.
Attorney Samuel E. Adam told The Associated Press on Thursday that a lawsuit challenging what he called “completely unfair” Senate trial rules is being prepared and could be filed to the state Supreme Court within days, pending a final decision on whether to move forward.
Blagojevich’s trial is set to begin Monday.

“Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared his early morning December arrest by FBI agents to Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.”
Just when you think politics can’t get anymore bizarre
Blago is insane. What is it with them that they always compare things to things like this.
Remember back in April of last year, when Al Gore on “60 Minutes” compared the challenge of fighting global warming to the invasion of Normandy and the civil rights . And Shelia Jackson Lee, who, when told that the US space program had gotten to Mars, asked if they had been able to see the flag that the astronauts left there. She also blamed the Katrina deaths on the ” Supression of the black vote.”
