Condi Rice Wins

The (D)emocrats' ability to unify on anything took a huge blow today as most of the opposition to Secretary of State appointee Dr. Condoleeza Rice evaporated. The (D)onks mustered only 12 of their Senators to cast votes against her. "Independent" Sen. Jeffords of Vermont, independent only because he's too liberal for democrats in his own state, also voted against Rice, making 13 votes against confirmation.

The threatened filibuster by (D)(KKK) Sen. Byrd of Wuss Virginia never materialized. This is the most interesting part of the whole sorry show the liberals put on. Who got to Byrd? I know what was said: "Filibuster and the first GOP Senator's speaking time will be taken up listing your KKK accomplishments", but I don't know who got to pass that joyous message to Byrd.

The vote was 85-13 to confirm. The liberal press is spinning the news, of course. They ballyhoo that Rice got twice as many "no" votes as any other SOS. Well, they can thank themselves for that because it was the liberal MSM, you will recall, that fanned the fires in the conflagration of political hatred that the (D)ummies set alight starting with Howard Dean's candidacy.

You reap what you sow, and I'll predict right here that dispite a poor showing, the hard-core liberals will try again with Gonzales, and again with each and every judicial nominee.

I'll also predict right here that they will be consumed in the off-elections of 2006. Bush will go against conventional wisdom (which, with a month to go before the election, had him losing it instead of winning it as he did by a clear majority) and the GOP will pick up seats in both the House and Senate two years hence.

It's getting dicey for the (D)ummies. If they lose just a few more Senate seats, they become a splinter party, completely incapable of stopping any major GOP initiative. That would be bad for the country, and it would push the liberals into even more desperate measures.

Time to go work on my weapons. There WILL be armed insurrection in this nation in the not-to-distant future, and I will be able to put down my share of it, as I have already sworn several life oaths to do.

Merry Christmas, Washington State

...you've given yourself a present of a Democrat Governor in an election so crooked, we can even smell it down here in Multnomah County, OR over the usual stench of liberal politics.

"Count every vote"! The liberal editorial boards were thundering all week long as the (D)onk election board in King County (Seattle) was dredging up votes for their gal from obviously spoiled ballots.

Well, they didn't count every vote. They didn't count the spoiled ballots in over 30 GOP-dominated counties. They might have to, though. One GOP attorney said that the WA Supreme Court ruling that let the (D)onks count the spoiled ballots in liberal King County apparently lifted the deadlines completely, so perhaps those "Red" counties can be revisited and their "undervote" counted.

They didn't count all the absentee ballots from our men and women fighting in the Middle East, dispite having sent them out one and a half weeks late. The (D)onk candidate, Christine Gregoire, won the election by TEN VOTES (according to the (D)onks). I'll bet there are many more  military GOP votes than ten that didn't get counted. Could THAT have been a deliberate attempt to disfranchise the troops, who would have been expected to vote overwhelmingly for their Commander-in-Chief? If so, why doesn't the Federal Election Commission ask for yet another delay in certifying this election and look into the matter.

Then, as Random Nuclear Strikes pointed out in their excellent coverage of (D)onk election fraud, there is the matter of the precinct where over 500 "homeless" persons, some giving addresses outside the country and having foreign names, have registered and voted, many (more than ten) by absentee ballot. Registering persons without a permanent address violates Washington law, and the stretching of the law to "register" Democrats at a welfare office address stinks to high heaven.

Nope, the (D)onks have not elected Gregoire. They stole the election and installed her in a coup d'etat.

If the Ukraine Supreme Court can step in and order a remedy to an obviously stolen election, certainly the SCOTUS can do no less, or why do we hail ourselves as the beacon of democracy?

Preident Bush, are you listening?

McCain and Leno

Did anyone else catch Senator McCain's stint on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night?

McCain was up to his usual RINO tricks, and actually suggested that Bush hire Senator Lieberman as Attorney General if Ashcroft retires, as is now expected by some pundits.

Am I the only one who thinks that the honorable Sen. Lieberman permanently damaged himself AFTER the election campaign last year by participating in Operation SoreLoserman 1?

The Attorney General position is very sensitive. Senator Lieberman is, at heart, an honorable man as I read him, but the fact that he never denounced Gore for SoreLoserman 1 blacklists him for the AG job.

Every day in every way...

...Conservative leadership shows positive results. The Acidman at Gut Rumbles shows us the numbers.

Reaching out

Yes, I'm doing my civic duty, as both Presidential candidates have requested. I'm reaching out.

I'm not reaching out to the gloaters on the Bush side. STFU to them.

I'm not reaching out to Michael Moore and Osama BinLaden. Curses to them, they are my enemies.

I'm reaching out to my children, to my sister, to all my friends (yes I have Democrat friends) who voted for Kerry, and put their heart and souls into their choice.

This message is for you.

My Analysis

Extending my last post, Operation SoreLoserman 2 is in full swing, not only in the (D)emo National Committee, but in most of the press as well.

Update - 110304 2200 MST: Operation SoreLoserman 2 is cancelled on order of the Clintons. Hillary Clinton's 4-year campaign for the White House started today. Details coming soon to a blog near you.

SoreLoserman II

Here we go again: SoreLoserman II, with pouting, lawsuits and partisan (OH) election directors of the (D)onk persuasion trying to convince the world that their boy will win when he has already lost.

Bush has a four million popular vote difference, so the "by a whisker" conditions that existed for Bush last time out doesn't hold today.

The US Senate is back firmly in GOP hands, with almost enough votes to over-ride filibusters. Three (D)onks can throw the fillibustering ass of Ted Kennedy back into Chappaquidick Creek. That will likely happen now.

The (D)onks are crushed, and even if some miracle was to put Kerry in the White House, he would be a do-nothing for 4 years. But, miracles seldom happen, so Bush is in a position now to finish his legacy on a stronger footing, and replace many in the liberal judiciary to keep the legacy going after he's gone.

Say goodnight, John Fuggedabbouddit Kerry. You've just been counted out by the ref and the fight's over. The mainstream media, in your pocket for months now, will try to hold out hope all night, but the worst Bush can do is have to be confirmed in the House of Representatives, the majority of which which would enjoy the job.

There will be other SoreLoserman II dirty tricks to come out of the (D)onk bag, such as trying to intimidate electors into changing their votes, but that didn't work with SoreLoserman I and it won't work here. There will be a few lawsuits, but the (R)'s have a few to file too. The suits will fade faster than the newly-registered youth did last night.

It must be noted that the youth vote, touted for months as the Kerry secret weapon, was at a total of 17% of the electorate in 2004, and it was 17% again this year. All the millions of newly-registered youth apparently got lost on their way to the polls.

Goodnight, Mr. and Mrs. America. Sleep well, ya done good.

Update - 110304 2147 MST: SoreLoserman 2 suspended on order of the Clintons. Sorry, it ended not with a bang, but a whimper.

Next up: Hillary's 4-year battle for the White House starts now. Details coming to a blog near you.

Election Day

Election Day! May the best man win...

Wait, there's only one running....the other is an alien.

Crapshoot

Well, all my punditry notwithstanding, I now have to admit that the POTUS selection in the federal election is a crapshoot.

The "conventional wisdom": the (D)onks have been on a roll signing up new voters. They are good at this. They have always been good at this. They use union members as an army and they get hundreds of thousands of voters registered. Some are illegal registrations, but the majority are legal. The GOP has been trying to keep up with this tsunami of new (D)onk voters, but my guess is that they can't.

The result tomorrow will probably show this same conventional wisdom, and the Bush lead of two weeks ago is gone, and maybe he is behind now, hard to say, the polls can't keep up that closely.

If all these new (D)onk voters vote, then Bush is toast. Sad but true. And I would not rail against this process, for, regardless of it's flaws, it is American and it is Democratic. The candidate with the most legal votes, as calculated in the Electoral College, wins. Now, if the (D)onks have signed up a bunch of illegal voters, then the GOP should challenge that, but the truth is, the judiciary that would hear those challenges is very liberal, so the beefs wouldn't survive.

This isn't cause for guns, this is cause for better planning next time.

Blunder, indeed

Mrs. DuToit, a fearsome, rational blogger, points out the obvious to me here.

Kerry and Dan Rotter, with their final October Surprise about the explosives missing in Iraq, have really opened a Pandora's Box.

They have opened a discussion of just how much war materiel we have found and eliminated in Iraq. That would be in the millions of tons.

For Kos IMC and others of feeble mind, that's Millions. Of. Tons.

Thats millions of tons that can't be issued to the Islamist terrorists, buddies of Saddam, who, by the way, don't have any of the "missing" Semtex or RDX, or they would have used it by now.

Those millions of tons of denied war materials means we will will be able to go to the polls four days from now and vote in peace.

For George Bush, so he will continue to keep us safe.
