Socialism: Up Close and Very Personal

In 2007 Robert Reich gave a speech in that “pro-regressive” bastion of Berkley, CA. It was what he wanted a presidential candidate to say about healthcare if only the voters were more enlightened able like he to differentiate myth from reality. In it, he said that young people will be forced into paying into a government healthcare system. The audience applauded including students who obviously had partied too much the night before.


He also said that seniors wouldn’t get the care they might need because they were too old. Again, the audience applauded. Apparently, not many vocal codgers were in attendance. All in all, Reich gave for a pro-regressive not just an honest homily but a rather stirring speech.


Yes, inspirational not to actually agree with his idea of creating a nightmarish healthcare system that would essentially reduce every human being from a citizen to a subject. No, instead I’m inspired to write a speech of what I would want a presidential candidate to say especially to the pompous people who although rich still want to impose socialism on the rest of us…


Thank you so much for coming this afternoon. I’m so glad to see you, and I would like to be president. Let me tell you a few things about pompous people who truly peeve me because they want socialism for everyone but themselves. Although I’m a conservative through and through, I have heard the other side. Now, I agree with them, and if elected, I will diligently work to give them personally what they preach.


Michael Moore, truly I tell you. Your love affair of capitalism will end as soon as I enter the Oval Office. As president, you won’t just be wondering where your country went. You’ll also be wondering where your wealth went, dude. But, don’t worry. Your wonderful centralized government will be taking care of your money.


It’s from each according to his ability, right? We’ll be seizing all your assets. Unfortunately, your butt is another matter. Let’s face it dude, you haven’t missed a buffet since 1984, and space is especially scarce on this over populated planet. You got to slim it down, and there’s nothing like the socialist starvation diet to get you to skin and bones in no time. There’ll be no more fat farms for you, besides you won’t be able to afford them anyway.


Sean Penn, you’re so enamored with communism that you were all smiles at the 81st Academy Awards telling everyone how cool it was. Yeah, you actually cooed to the audience how they were “commie lovin’ homo sons ‘a’ guns” just for choosing you.


You often remark that people have to give up the hate card when it comes to your pro-regressive politics, but you yourself just can’t stop pounding on the paparazzi. Recently, another victim of your violence filed a complaint after allegedly being kicked by you. In fact you have a history of violence. In 1987 you spent 32 days in jail for beating up an extra just trying to take your picture. Where’s the love, man?


Recently, you were schmoozing with your buddy Fidel down in his prison state of Cuba. It’s a wonder you just didn’t stay there, but fret not my friend Castro’s Cuba will be brought right to you. Your wealth will be seized including that bodacious abode in Marin County, CA.


And there’ll be no more eating at fine restaurants not that you’ll be able to afford them. It won’t matter how many Academy Awards you win or how many block buster hits you make because all of it I’ll take. No instead, you will receive what is the average staple for Cubans. That would be one whole chicken per month. Why, that works out to be 12 chickens a year not that you could ever do the math.


And Sean, you seem to support every dictator around, from Iraq’s Saddam Hussein who ruthlessly tortured and murdered many to Chavez in Venezuela who shut down private media that criticized him while impoverishing his nation. You stated, “He’s much more positive for Venezuela than he is negative.”


Sean, Sweetie, you bring a whole new meaning to the term “useful idiot.” When you open your mouth and speak off the cuff, you make Bush sound like a genius.


Barbara Streisand, well Babs what can I say. You use over 10000 gallons of water each month for your lawn. Honey, we got to do something about you just to save Los Angeles let alone the planet. And your suggestion that everyone use clothespins is laughable considering you would never employ such a suggestion.


Finally, Robert Reich, I would implement your healthcare plan immediately, for it would automatically consider you too old to ever receive any care.

ObamaCare: From Debt to Death

Seniors won’t be getting a social security COLA increase next year. COLA is calculated from the inflation index, which is zero from this recession soon to be depression. Actually, real prices are skyrocketing, but because energy prices have dropped rapidly, inflation is supposedly in check.

Yet, while COLA is zero, the Medicare deducted for social security checks will still increase. So, seniors will be worse off next year paying more for the one health insurance “company” that refuses more healthcare than any other. Yeah, evil capitalists fueled by corporate greed are better to their customers than the government’s Medicare.

But, America needs that public option, which will become the only option if House Squeaker Princess Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader “Seedy Reidy” and Obama get their way. And the absolutely underhanded ways they’ve employed in selling their socialized slavery is despicable.

The CBO estimated that one bill, actually just a concept since it isn’t formal legislation, will supposedly decrease the deficit $81 billion over 10 years. Well, that’s a line of manure that could copiously supply every farm in this nation. This plan, which still won’t insure everybody when fully implemented, will cost $800 billion not over 10 years, but only four and a half since it doesn’t fully take effect until 2016.

Yes, this is how pompous politicians make something costly seem affordable like an unscrupulous used car dealer that conveniently forgets to mention that balloon payment. The true cost over 10 years would be at least double or $1.6 trillion. So, instead of a surplus, it’s $720 billion in the hole.

But wait, there’s even more shenanigans because those same politicians are promising a $400 billion cut in Medicare. Now, if seniors were mad before, just imagine what they’ll do once they discover this slash in services. Of course, politicians know seniors vote, and not enough Alzheimer’s will kick in come election time.

But the messiah will make it all better with a $250 check. “Dr. Chicago” hopes bribery is his “senior-itis” sure cure. However, if Medicare cuts don’t happen, and most likely they won’t, that would make a $1.1 trillion deficit. And that’s only one piece of so-called legislation, which doesn’t include a public option. There’s at least two more “virtual bills” in the pipeline, and it’s a sure bet that a public option will be included in one of them.

Which is why, Democrats meet in private and don’t include Republicans. Remember when Obama told America that bills would be posted on the Internet at least 5 days before a vote. Has that happened even once? That promise went to the same pigeon hole as the one where Obama promised bipartisanship.

Yes, evil Republicans want everyone to die. That’s according to Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson who thinks he’s finally figured out the GOP’s healthcare plan. Got to hand it to him, at least he admits there is a GOP plan. Most Democrats pretend Republicans are the party of “No!”

But, did Grayson find any of the 34 healthcare bills introduced by Republicans that were based on free market principals? How about tort reform? Apparently, he’s unaware of ideas like expanded Health Saving Accounts, or simply the elimination of restrictions on insurance companies offering plans across state lines. “Pro-regressives” pretend that health insurance companies abhor competition when it’s their wacky regulations preventing it.

Grayson in typical Democrat Demagoguery said that the “Republican Plan” was simply, “Don’t Get Sick! And if You Do Get Sick, Die Quickly!” Seems the dishonorable Grayson is confusing his pathetic pro-regressive party with the GOP. If there’s any party that would put in place healthcare that amounts to the imposition of death panels, it would be his.

Just listen to Robert Reich, former Clinton Labor Secretary and Obama economic advisor. In 2007, he spoke at Berkley, CA describing what he would like a presidential candidate to say about healthcare. In it, he explained that young people will just have to pay while old people should understand that their time is over and they won’t be getting any care especially expensive or innovative. So, Reich would just let them die.

Then, there’s John Holdren another one of the many un-confirmed czars. He’s the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. He wrote the book “Ecoscience.” It stated that the elderly should be euthanized as well as other wonderful ideas like forced sterilization and government population control.

Finally, if you’re still not convinced, there’s Obama himself who said a 90-year woman’s spirit shouldn’t be taken into consideration in giving her a pacemaker. Instead he said painkillers ought to do the trick. It’s only a matter of time until Democrats say to undesirables in society that’s it’s their patriotic duty to just die, and that’ll be just sick.

Loony Liberalism

The title is an obvious redundancy of terms for liberals are naturally nutty, but the messiah especially seems to have no limit to his madness. Like his decision to release the enhanced interrogations methods that kept America safe. For the sake of transparency, Obama told the terrorists all the in and outs of what CIA agents could and did do.

Liberals just love to create fanciful concepts and assign value to them even when there is absolutely no evidence of that worth. Now, it’s “transparency,” which until recently was a bad thing when fighting a war.

Liberals profess with an unshakable belief that since America revealed all, our enemies will stop hating us. Liberals claim that our “torture” was a terrorist recruiting tool while never considering that releasing our techniques could incense them even more.

Actually, Al Queda instructs its recruits that if captured to lie about being brutally beaten. So, it wouldn’t matter whether interrogators used harsh language or spoke in gentle cooing sounds. Once released, they’ll still tell fanciful tales of infidel mistreatment.

Transparency won’t stop that, and the information will be used to better train terrorists to withstand questioning. Former VP “Darth Vader” Cheney claims that the redacted parts of the released documents demonstrated clearly that the enhanced techniques prevented attacks. But, Obama doesn’t want that side to be revealed.

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden along with other officials echoed Cheney’s assertion and added nothing was gained from releasing interrogation policy. It would be like FDR deciding for transparency sake to reveal to the Germans America’s plans for the invasion of Europe.

Maybe, transparency would have made Germans less likely to shoot American soldiers on the Normandy beaches. Hardly, instead the Nazis would have used the information to mount an effective counter attack rendering D-day a grand failure. In fact, General Eisenhower had two speeches. One for a successful invasion, the other in case it failed. For even Eisenhower great general that he was couldn’t guarantee victory.

Last spring Obama sent 21000 more troops to Afghanistan. He should have had a solid strategic plan for them to win there. Like when Bush sent his troop surge to Iraq.

General Petreus was implementing a new Iraq War strategy. It worked despite liberal prognostication to the contrary. Yet, Obama for the sake of transparency should reveal any strategic plan he has for Afghanistan. Maybe, the terrorists won’t become offended because more infidels are defiling a Muslim country. Hardly!

In all reality, Obama’s Afghanistan plan has already failed because he prematurely let the Afghanis alone run their elections. His hands-off policy instead resulted in widespread fraud that could eventually undermine the civilian government. Of course, what else could be expected from an ACORN acolyte?

Now, Obama doesn’t want to follow his hand picked general’s plan. General McChrystal is pleading for 40000 additional troops. Until recently, Obama has only met with McChrystal once. Kind of reminds of another national security challenged president Bill Clinton who only saw` his CIA director James Woosley twice during his tenure.

Obama did meet with McChrystal while in Denmark for a whooping 25 minutes taking valuable time from his failed Olympic bid. Whatever happened wasn’t good because they’ve been trashing each other ever since. McChrystal actually started criticizing Obama before that meeting.

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) recently uttered something reasonable, which is rare for a Democrat. She said, “I don’t know how you put somebody in, who is as 'cracker jack' as General McChrystal who gives the president very solid recommendations and not take those recommendations if you are not going to pull out.”

However, Obama isn’t comfortable with “victory” in Afghanistan, the supposedly good war. He said it wouldn’t be “like Emperor Hirohito … signing a surrender [sic] to General MacArthur.” Incidentally, neither Hirohito nor MacArthur participated in the Japanese signing.

But, the media doesn’t care that Obama is historically challenged. It also oblivious to his indecisiveness in sending enough troops and his silly rules of engagement that are jeopardizing the lives of troops stationed there.

Don’t worry though for Obama has identified the real enemy, Fox News, the only network not worshiping him. His administration whines it’s too conservative. No doubt liberals hate conservatives while revering Islamofascists. This seems really loony. And, it is!

Unfortunately, their misplaced hatred threatens every American. Maybe, in order to get liberals to hate terrorists, “right-wingers” should recruit jihadis to run for elective office. Liberals hate conservatives precisely because sometimes they win elections, keeping liberals from their divine right to power.

But if jihadis won elections, then liberals would start loathing terrorists instead of conservatives. The ultimate objective is to get an American hating jihadi as president who would then do irreparable damage to this nation of infidels. Oh wait, that appears to have already happened. Never mind.

Going Gruesomely Green

There’s this oil heat radio ad where two extreme green neighbors are talking tit for tat on who’s saving the planet better. Whether it’s driving a hybrid verses not commuting at all to organic gardening verses solar powered composters, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the greenest of them all.” The ending is especially interesting. Each neighbor, after saying their somewhat friendly goodbyes, calls each other freak and lunatic under their ultra-low CO2 emissions breath.

While this ad uses freaks to illuminate the public of oil heat’s eco-friendliness, on the CBS Morning Show co-host Harry Smith recently interviewed two real freaks who chose to live without electricity and toilet paper for one year. What is it with eco-whackos and their obsession against toilet paper?

For toilet paper is the greatest invention of all time. In fact, the phrase the best thing “since sliced bread” should be “since 3-ply” instead. Toilet paper is such a great leap for mankind, actually a great clean behind for mankind, it was featured on the History channel’s program, “Modern Marvels.”

But, Colin and Michelle Beavan, possible ancestral relatives to Beavis and Butthead, gave up these comforts. So eco-whacked is this couple that Smith just had to gush, “This is an amazing saga....when the lights were switched back on, Colin and Michelle clearly saw a year that meant so much more than living without toilet paper.” Also, the cockroaches were seen scrambling in all directions.

When asked what their inspiration was, they said, “Concern for the planet. I mean, we were reading so much about global warming happening and we were just frustrated because what can any one person do? So we thought we’d try to do what we could.”

Michelle added, “I had just seen the movie An Inconvenient Truth.” How many others have been ruined by a movie where an English court ruled there are at least nine egregious errors? But, a better question would be, “Should Al Gore be sued if this couple ever dies of an e-coli infection?”

Near the end of the interview, Colin, again citing the global warming hysteria, said “And we discovered that, you know, there is a climate emergency happening and it is possible for us as citizens to actually take care.” Where then, Smith readily agreed and added, “You just have to get 300 million people to do it.”

Now, if a conservative decided to give up using electricity and toilet paper, he would choose only for himself this loony lifestyle. But, liberals aren’t happy unless everyone gives up these comforts as well. Of course, if the truth be told, no conservative would ever surrender his toilet paper.

So, what did the Beavan’s use instead of toilet paper? Maybe, their hands! While concluding the segment, Smith made reference to the lack of toilet paper: “Okay, and the last question, is the answer newspaper?” But, Colin instead dodged the potentially odorous question and replied, “What we want to talk about here is that we have a big emergency.”

Speaking of which, a big emergency is when after doing one’s business, the discovery is made that there’s nothing left on the roll.

And, the Beavan’s even believe in eating only fresh unpackaged food. Where then Smith claimed, “The cost of what the wheat is in a box of cereal that costs $4? It’s a couple of pennies, you know, versus all of this stuff that’s around it.” That’s especially hard to swallow. Farmers couldn’t stay in business if they were getting so little for their produce.

So, what’s next for this progressive, actually if the truth be known, pro-regressive partnership? Living in a cave, going homeless. It seams urban outdoorsmen could be way ahead of their time. These original “No Impact Men” have the ultimate green lifestyle.

But, a better idea would be instead of apartment buildings or skyscrapers level them all and build “crust-scrapers,” buildings that go down, not up. This would eliminate urban heat islands and building enhanced wind effect, and those bad hair days that it causes.

Crust-scrapers would also be natural bomb shelters in the case of a nuclear attack. With Obama, the likelihood of which only increases as he ineptly deals with nuclear proliferation which he’ll be pursuing even more after getting his Nobel Appeasement Prize.

Finally, crust-scrapers would be greener than buildings certified by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). These regulations developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) are on the books in 45 states and more than 100 cities. LEED was supposed to create more energy efficient buildings.

But according to Henry Gifford in a study commissioned by USGBC, LEED certified buildings actually use more energy. Which is not surprising, so often in this eco-debate being green not only isn’t clean, it costs “more green.”

Russian Reset, Nyet!

What if a cross between President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain could be done and what would the result be? Given the recent actions of President Obama and a speech he gave to the UN recently, anyone with at least one functional neuron couldn’t help but notice that this man is encouraging dictatorships while at the same time disparaging American allies. And to what purpose, is Obama recklessly leading this world down a path to war?


Being a US senator for only 141 days before announcing his presidential bid, Obama’s foreign policy experience was iffy at best. But, couple that with a socialist mentality that has an absolute distain for the free market and a hatred for America’s projection of freedom (a.k.a. that darn Yankee imperialism), Obama acts as if America deserves every punishment that he can possibly muster.


For example, much has been said about Obama’s about face on the missile defense shield in Poland and Czechoslovakia. The fact that he reversed the policy on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Poland in 1939 either indicates he’s the most dense politician ever or he just likes to rub it raw to American allies.


Whatever the reason, Polish president Donald Tusk wouldn’t return Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s phone call, which actually gave him something in common with another previous world leader, Ex-Pres. Bill Clinton. He supposedly never took calls from his lovely betrothed especially when he was involved in heavy dictation with an intern in the oval office.


But a ship based missile system while maybe being cheaper and more mobile than a land base system, will also be further away from Iran and Russia. So to protect Poland and Czechoslovakia, it will have to respond sooner. One senator said that the Ground-Based Missile Defense system in Alaska must be fully deployed and properly maintained just to protect America from attacks by rogue states.


Let alone Eastern Europe, and a ship based system will have to depend on a land based radar system sophisticated enough to facilitate missile interception. Yet, Obama did promise the new system would be quicker, cheaper and more effective against the threat of Iranian missiles. Of course, he makes those very same promises when it comes to healthcare as well. Yes, ObamaCare will be so good it’ll cure those radiation burns from Iranian nukes --- using assisted suicide, of course!


Both the Czech and Polish republics went out on a limb to house a missile defense shield. Their large neighbor, Russia was against it from the beginning which is rather strange. Since being a defense shield, it wouldn’t be a threat to Russia unless they were planning to invade someday. The bear attack unprovoked, who would ever think Russia do anything like that?


Promising at most some useless Iranian sanctions, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was just lovey-dovey afterwards. While attending the G20 summit, he told University of Pittsburgh students that love was the most important thing in life. He actually said, “Love is the closest thing that surrounds you.” It wouldn’t have been all that surprising had he started singing that Beatle’s song, “All you need is love. Love is all around…”


But, Medvedev, Putin’s puppet, isn’t the only dictatorship that’s been clicking his heels lately. Obama gave his UN speech that had a foreign leader given it just 10 years earlier; the American delegation would have walked out in protest. Instead, Obama impressed the world’s dictators.


Libya’s leader Colonel Gaddafi (pronounced What-a-Quack-is-he) called him his son. Last year, he referred to Obama as a Muslim, which makes him a rightwing kook in the left’s lexicon. Of course, Gaddafi is so loony in his logic that the translator during his 90 minute diatribe just up and quit because of the erratic sentence structure.


Then, there’s Iran’s leader who denies the Holocaust, but wants to nuke Israel out of existence. He told everyone afterwards that Obama agrees with him on America’s transgressions. Unfortunately, one can’t disagree with that especially when Obama accuses America of acting unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others.


It’s true that America sometimes acts solely in it own self interests. What country hasn’t? Yet, no other nation has been more selfless in promoting worldwide liberty. But, that doesn’t stop progressives from believing that America deserves the terrible atrocities done to her.


Normally, a president would distance himself from the praise of despotic dictators, but not Obama. He’s so narcissistic, he actually believes that they will love him, and he can achieve a world without nukes merely by pronouncing it.


Just months ago, Hillary Clinton gave a mistranslated “reset” button (it’s instead read “overcharge”) to Russia signaling supposedly a new era in relations. Unfortunately, what Obama really meant was “Reckless Empty-headed Surrendering and with Egotistical Temerity.”

Doodoo-ology: The Science of Sheer Stupidity

A good definition for progressivism would simply be “Educated Stupidity.” While many progressives believe everyone else is stupid, they’ve been taught to be stupider than stupid, for they go way beyond mere ignorance. Many have high muckety-muck degrees from prestigious universities, but what they’ve learned is pure crapola or in other words, just “Doodoo-ology.”


For example, progressives believe in socialism, which requires total economic ignorance because it’s never worked. They also fall hook, line and sinker for manmade global warming. They completely miss the terminology switch from “global warming” to “climate change” because temperatures have been dropping instead.


Progressivism also epitomizes ignorance is bliss. It doesn’t understand the law of unintended consequences, nor does it consider the other side of the coin. Obamatons, a highly deranged variant of progressivism, also believe everything Obama does is just “wunderbar.” He’s supposedly returning us back to science. These individuals would probably praise Obama giving a school speech asking kids to go home and kill their parents.


Interestingly, Obama’s failed escapade to Copenhagen is a perfect example of their “sicko fancy.” Obama and his wife actually took separate planes to Denmark to convince the IOC to give Chicago the 2016 Olympic Games. Incidentally, progressives never complained about the Obamas’ lack of “jet pooling” even though they profess CO2 is destroying the planet.


But, when Chicago was rejected, progressives blamed Bush because he supposedly so alienated the world that not even Obama, the one, could overcome the animosity. Progressives conveniently forget that Chicago somehow managed to become an Olympic finalist while Bush was president. Still, after Obama’s Olympic blunder, progressives think that Obama’s inept dialogue will actually convince Iran to surrender its nuclear ambitions.


Then, there’s Obama’s stimulus plan that’s failed keeping unemployment below his predicted maximum of 8%. His administration pronounces its success even as joblessness has reached 9.8%. It would have been 10.2%, but many unemployed workers have simply stopped looking for work.


Nevertheless, Obama claims that millions of jobs have been saved presenting no proof whatsoever. So, here’s a simple way to know if your job has been saved. If it still exists, then apparently it’s been saved. Obama’s “Stick It to Us” plan hasn’t eliminated it … yet.


Still, the sycophant media falls in lockstep declaring the worst is over even though the economy continues contracting. According to economists, it takes two consecutive quarters of GNP growth for a recession to be “officially” over. So far, there hasn’t even been one.


Obama, consumed with passing ObamaCare, has taken an Emperor Nero approach to this recession, playing his harp nude while the economy burns. Job loses mount while Obama nonchalantly demands another trillion dollar increase in the national debt. Well, what’s another trillion among friends?


But, where’s all that money going? Democrats are probably amassing it to flood the economy with government spending causing an economic boom that won’t bust until after the 2010 midterm election. Many Americans will probably be fooled into thinking that Obama has actually “fixed” the economy only to find out too late, they’re wrong.


Many progressives lionize the late Ted Kennedy, another classic example of “What’s wrong with Washington?” Chappaquiddick would have jailed anyone but a connected Kennedy who only cared about his political career after dunking his car allowing Mary Jo Kopechne to drown.


Kennedy, never having to work a day in his life, had about a much in common with the working man as a prince has to a pauper. Still, progressives expect socialized medicine opponents to rollover and allow them to pass his dream, “Ted’s you’re better off Dead” health-mare.


It’s not a debate when someone especially a leader isn’t honest, and this healthcare issue has become one big “Lie Fest.” When Obama said “Shovel Ready” projects, what he apparently meant was bull ready to shovel. During Obama’s speech to congress, the untruths got so deep that one congressman, Joe Wilson (R-SC) just had to shout, “You lie.” For instance, Obama said illegals weren’t covered under any bill in consideration. The truth: out of three bills only one even forbade illegals getting care, but it had no enforcement.


Of course, the DNC sycophant media tried to make Wilson out to be a racist. Progressives, usually devoid of intellectual counter arguments, always resort to applying an ism to their opponents. In Wilson’s outburst, there was an ism alright, but it wasn’t racism. It was anti-Marxism.


Finally, despite polls showing Americans are against ObamaCare, Democrats will attempt to pass their medical monstrosity anyway because after all progressives “expert doodoo-ologists” know it all. Unfortunately, Washington has too many of them. They’re changing America’s government from “of the people by the people for the people,” to one that lies to the people, ignores the people and soon could jail the people.

“No-Good Deeds” Shouldn’t Go Unpunished

While the two Virginia gubernatorial candidates differ on many issues, on some voters wouldn’t know. Just recently, Democrat candidate Creigh Deeds claims he, like his opponent Republican Bob McDonnell, wants to cut taxes and protect small businesses. But, Deeds also said that he would gladly sign a transportation plan that included raising taxes.


Indeed, Deeds has voted numerous times for gas tax increases even when gas was over $4/gallon. When asked to explain this apparent contradiction, Deeds said he would not raise taxes for the general fund. However, since a gas tax would go to a transportation trust fund, it apparently doesn’t count.


However, taxes isn’t the only issue Deeds does a little dance. In describing the angst against ObamaCare, Deeds said that protesters have a “hint” of racism. How does one be just a bit of a racist? One either believes his race is superior or not. Well, if opposition to ObamaCare is because of racism, the question for Deeds is, “How does one oppose it and not be considered a racist?”


Like a typical politician, Deeds wants to play both sides of the issues. Indeed, Deeds was good all summer telling voters why McDonnell shouldn’t be governor, but as a man without a message he gave no reason why he should be.


And Deeds is good at throwing political supporters overboard. While he accepted President Obama’s help in fundraising, Deeds recently declared he’s not an “Obamacrat.” He apparently became a “Deeds-ocrat” as Obama poll numbers dropped.


Deeds was also good at avoiding telling voters whether he supported “Cap and Trade.” He probably saw polls showing many are against it, so now he is too. Deeds is a candidate that epitomizes what’s wrong with most politicians today. Vague answers saying only what he believes will get him elected.


In Virginia, state legislators are forbidden to be employed alongside lobbyists of law firms. This rule prevents conflicts of interests for lawmakers. In 2007, the Virginia Bar considered removing this restriction. But the outrage was so great, they didn’t. Still, Deeds, who initiated the effort to eliminate the rule, went ahead and joined the law firm of Hirschler Fleischer that does lobbying in the Virginian legislature anyway.


Deeds, who fortunately lost his election bid to be Virginia’s Attorney General in 2005, blatantly violated state ethic rules. His reason in his own words was, “For me to be able to continue the political journey, I had to find some stability. I had to do something. If I thought I were doing anything unethical, I would step away from it.” In other words, if he needs the money, he’ll do anything. It’s just part of his political journey, which hopefully will never include the governor’s mansion.


But what Deeds is really good at is making false accusations. Like a recent Deeds’ ad accusing McDonnell of helping Appalachian Power Co. win rate increases totaling $180 million. The ad accuses McDonnell of supporting them when in fact Appalachian Power was due increases according to the law, which Deeds himself voted in favor. McDonnell was just upholding that law.


McDonnell had a substantial lead until the DNC media outlet, The Washington Post, dug up a 20 year old thesis written by McDonnell that claimed working women harmed families. It’s clear that McDonnell’s political life as well as his personal life that he doesn’t subscribe to what he wrote in that thesis. In fact, he has strongly encouraged his daughters to be working, independent women.


However, Deeds has made much about women being paid equally to men. So, he’s accused McDonnell of being against SB 1025. This bill, which passed in 1995, stated that “No employer employing more than five but less than fifteen persons shall discharge any such employee on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or sex, or of age if the employee is forty years or older.”


The fact is the McDonnell voted for the law, which goes against the left’s lie that McDonnell only believes that women should be barefoot and pregnant. And what is Deeds’ record on women’s pay? Well, from 1994 through 2009, Senator Deeds didn’t propose even one bill concerning equal pay for equal work. Apparently, Deeds believes that no deeds ever need be done to claim moral superiority.


But in these difficult times voters are supposed to use McDonnell’s thesis as the sole point in deciding who will be better to meet the needs of Virginians for new energy and jobs. Of course, this is from the media that made the “macaca” moment the most important issue in the 2006 US Senate race and now ignores Obama and all his radical czars.


Now they want voters to ignore Deeds’ dirty deeds as well. Instead, voters shouldn’t let “good ole Deeds” go unpunished.
