OK, so I'm sick and tired of Democrats, mainly Liberals, lying and deceiving Americans.
A few stories to kick things off:
First, Hilary Clinton and Harry Reid are caught with Abramoff cash. However, a majority of Democrats and Liberals call it a "Republican problem," to quote Reid. Reid has refused to give back the money. Check out Reid's article, in paragraph 17 (on page two)
Here's the article about Hilary (SEE HERE) and the one for Reid (SEE HERE)
Another gripe I have is the media. The liberal-biased media. There was a terror plot against the United States that was foiled in large part because the NSA program Bush authorized helped foil it. Now, with the NSA program. People who don't like it are people who have something to hide. Honestly, Americans have to buck up a little. Personally if someone listens to anything I talk about, I don't care. THe only problem is that these tapes are NOT someone listening with earphones. Almost all of them are conducted by high-tech survailence equipment that monitors patterns BETWEEN SUSPECTED TERRORISTS. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WILL NOT WASTE VALUABLE TIME LISTENING TO A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL TALKING ABOUT HER CRUSH, WHICH IS WHAT LIBERALS WANT YOU TO THINK. But no, Americans are too damn stupid. Here's the article about the terror plot (SEE HERE.)
There was a thought of voter fraud in the 2004 election, but as I have pointed out in the past (not on this xanga site, on past blogs), members of Kerry's campaign are now set for trial for slashing tires to Republican vehicles to transport immobile voters to polling places, wiping out nearly 25% of the fleet. Here's the story:
Kerry Workers' Tire-Slashing Trial Begins
Fourteen months after John Kerry narrowly carried Wisconsin in the 2004 presidential election amidst allegations of voter fraud, five campaign workers for the Kerry-Edwards campaign team are set for trial Tuesday in Milwaukee on felony charges of damage to property.
The "Milwaukee Five" is charged with slashing 40 tires on 25 separate Republican vehicles on the morning of the 2004 presidential election. The vehicles were rented by the Wisconsin Republican Party to transport less-mobile voters to the polls on Election Day. In total, the vandals disabled 25 percent of the Republican Party's "Get Out the Vote" fleet.
The defendants include Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, the son of Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) who also goes by the name Supreme Solar Allah; Michael Pratt, the son of former Milwaukee Mayor Marvin Pratt and leader of Kerry's campaign team in Milwaukee; Lewis Caldwell; Lavelle Mohammed, and Justin Howell.
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, four of the defendants were paid operatives of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, including Omokunde and Pratt.
Court TV will cover the trial, which is expected to last two weeks. Potential witnesses include Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), national AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, and 77 others - including FBI agents, Milwaukee police officers, and party activists from both parties.
The five defendants, who will be tried together, are charged with criminal damage to property, a felony with maximum sentences of 3 1/2 years in prison or $10,000 in fines.
The criminal complaint states that Opel Simmons, a Democratic campaign worker from Virginia, identified the defendants as the perpetrators, and told police they had named their plan "Operation Elephant Takeover."
Simmons told Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney David Feiss that he saw the defendants dressed in "Mission Impossible type gear" at Democratic Party headquarters sometime around 3 a.m. on the morning of the election.
When Simmons asked the five what they were planning, defendant Lavelle Mohammed allegedly responded, "You don't want to know, don't ask.?
The defendants returned to Democratic headquarters approximately 20 minutes later. Simmons told investigators they were jubilant and shared details of their vandalism spree with him. "We got 'em," said Pratt. "We hit the tires."
The tire-slashing incident is just one of a number of election-day irregularities in Wisconsin, a state where Kerry only prevailed by 11,384 votes.
Questions have been raised about the inordinately large volume of Election Day registrations in Milwaukee, where 84,000 people in a city of 600,000 registered at the polls on the day of the election. The total represented 30 percent of all voters in the city.
Milwaukee city officials admitted in January 2005 that around 10,000 same-day registrations could not be verified, leaving open the possibility of fraud.
An investigation by the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel reported another 1,200 Milwaukeeans voted using invalid addresses. Another article revealed in late January 2005 that there were 7,000 more votes than voters in Milwaukee, suggesting ballot-stuffing in the Democrat-controlled city.
Next, I wonder why pDemocrats keep saying the economy isn't so hot and it's George Bush's excuse to try and boost approval ratings. It's more robust than in the Clinton administration, but it is not reported as so. Here's a story from MoneyNews:
Media Downplaying U.S. Economic Success?
Last week MoneyNews pointed out that ever since the Democrats ceded power, there has been a marked difference in mainstream media coverage of economic news involving President Bush and the Republican congressional majority.
In case you missed it, we provided an example: A recent Associated Press report implied that France's anemic 0.7% third-quarter growth was bullish - while the same article greeted the U.S. economy's 3.5% growth for the same period with caveats and skepticism.
Now The Washington Post has published a questionable article - this time about the U.S. unemployment picture.
The Post dismissed last week's 4.9% unemployment rate as a weak number. But nine years ago, when President Clinton occupied the White House, The Post and the rest of old media were gleefully reporting that the 5.4% unemployment under President Clinton was evidence of a rosy economy and the administration's solid policies.
Take a look The Post's coverage of the jobless figure cited in mid-1996:
"The unemployment rate dropped to 5.4%, its lowest level in 14 months, the government reported yesterday, capping a week of good economic news for the country - and great news for President Clinton's reelection bid," read The Post.
"Wages are rising at their fastest pace in five years, consumer confidence is soaring and business and consumer spending has fueled an unexpectedly strong burst of economic growth. This rosy outlook could rob Senate Majority Leader Robert J. Dole (R-Kan.), Clinton's likely Republican rival for the presidency, of a critical campaign issue."
Buried deep in this story was the fact that the American economy only added 2,000 jobs that month - a truly anemic figure, especially compared to the 108,000 jobs added to the U.S. economy in 2006. But The Post seemed to embrace this lackluster number as good news.
"Moreover, only 2,000 jobs were added to employers' payrolls last month, while those in construction and manufacturing combined fell by 70,000," The Post reported.
"Usually such a tiny gain in payrolls might have raised fears that economic growth was faltering. But in this case, payrolls had gone up an average of 221,000 a month in the first quarter, and a number of analysts said last month's flat number only lessened their concern that the economy might be growing so fast that inflation would worsen."
Now compare that to the Post's Jan. 7, 2006, coverage of the U.S. jobless rate for November 2005, which dropped to 4.9%.
The Post barely acknowledges President Bush's success.
"The figures offered a well-timed boost to President Bush, who touted them here in his latest outing in a campaign to convince Americans that his tax and budget policies are working, despite polling that shows widespread unease about the economy," says The Post.
"Congressional Democrats said the unease is justified, noting that job growth in December was slower than many economists expected and citing Labor Department data showing that, for the average worker, prices are rising faster than wages."
So a 4.9 jobless rate under President Bush fuels "unease" among Americans while a 5.4% rate under President Clinton was "great news."
Biased media? What biased media?
GOD BLESS AMERICA, HER TROOPS, AND THE IDIOTS THAT DON'T HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE TO KNOW ANY BETTER |
