Three areas the GOP needs to focus on to take down Obama and his band of socialists in 2010
In the past year, we’ve interacted with Republicans for the first time in our lives, primarily through people we met via the McCain/Palin campaign and this website.
What we’ve found most interesting in that time is how different Democrats and Republicans see elections — which is something many of you out there might not even realize.
We grew up Democrat, and every day was a campaign day. The only day we weren’t campaigning for something was Election Day, in which case we were working our lists getting as many old people, drunks, homeless, and the sick to polling places as possible in Democrat controlled areas. Just about the only time any of us drive cars in the course of a year is polling day…and that’s to run shuttle services for people who would otherwise sit home and not vote Democrat.
The day after an election, Democrats start gearing up for the next one.
Republicans have a big Election Day networking breakfast, followed by a Watch the Polls mid-morning brunch, then a Polling Day buffet at the Union Club, followed by a Results Watch LIVE! cocktail party at the trendiest and most expensive bar in town.
Then, when they lose, they have a commiserating reception the next day on somebody’s yacht, where they break out the really good scotch and wonder where it all went wrong.
Nine months later, they decide to start thinking about the next election.
A year after that, they finally get around to picking a candidate, typically going with someone unwinnable, abrasive, terrible, zealous, fringe, or flat-out nuts (see: Pulido, Rosanna in Chicago’s last special election).
Another Election Day, another chance to mope and drink. That’s doing it the Republican way in Illinois.
MEANWHILE, Liberals are using ACORN, the Alinsky playbook, and George Soros’ commandments to install radicals as the Secretaries of State in most purple states, such as the vile Jennifer Brunner, ACORN accomplice, in Ohio. The DNC has a multi-faceted scheme for fraud and electoral corruption that counts on not only installing people like Brunner in the election process, but also depends on Republicans going to their cocktail parties oblivious of what’s going on.
Currently, things are starting to trend Republican in the polls for 2010, which is actually a counterintuitively bad thing.
Republicans’ worst vice is complacency. If they believe “it’s in the bag for us” in 2010, they will sit on their butts, or start party planning for the next election celebration. That is the last thing they can afford to do.
Here is what we would like to see happen on the GOP side so that Dr. Utopia, our illustrious current president, can be defeated in 2010 and removed from office in 2012:
(1) ACORN and all of its affiliates like the SEIU must be staked through the heart, dismembered, covered in Holy Water, eviscerated, cremated, and rocketed directly into the sun.
Even then, it will still be a threat.
It’s obvious to us Republicans still don’t realize what they are dealing with in terms of ACORN.
ACORN is a domestic terrorist organization and criminal enterprise.
If Al Capone was alive today, he would be proud so much of his organization is still intact, by way of ACORN. These people are criminals, and the new Capone, at large, is George Soros, whom too few Republicans know anything about.
Capone’s footmen and lieutenants ran neighborhoods, with Capone cells positioned every few blocks to control what the hapless souls in their areas did: who they voted for, where they spent their money, what they did for work.
That’s what Soros-fueled ACORN does today…and it’s all part of a massive Get Out the Vote effort that keeps putting radicals and liberals into office.
We tell you as often as possible what we saw ACORN do for Dr. Utopia during the primaries and general election last year. In Iowa, we saw ACORN bus in hundreds of people from Chicago to Ioawa caucus sites, where ACORN supporters ran the check-in tables and allowed non-Ioawans to vote for Dr. Utopia in the caucus. ACORN pushed and shoved old people, told them they were in the wrong caucus site, and insisted if they didn’t vote for Dr. Utopia they would tell all their friends and neighbors they were RAAACISTS.
It was the most vile thing we had ever seen…until we went to Ohio, Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and other states where we campaigned first for Hillary Clinton and then for McCain/Palin.
ACORN, teamed up with the SEIU and Black Panthers, blocked polling places so non-Utopia voters couldn’t cast their ballots. “You’re going to vote right, aren’t you?”, these thugs would say to old people in particular, telling them they would know if they didn’t vote for Utopia and there would be consequences for voting “wrong”.
In Chicago, we don’t know how it’s done, but the local Aldermen really do know who you voted for. We seriously are baffled by how they do it, but we’re repeatedly told by property owners that if they call the Alderman’s office after they didn’t vote for him or her, there’s a pause on the phone as it feels like their names are looked up in a book. If they didn’t “vote right”, then no one will come pick up their garbage. If they did vote right, the City workers can’t move fast enough to get things taken care of.
We didn’t believe this until we watched it in action one day, with two different people, both living in the same Alderman’s district, calling about the same parking issue. One of them voted for him, and the other didn’t. They called the same office, just hours apart. The one who voted for him got what she wanted…the one who voted for the other guy got the shaft.
It was stunning.
And when you hear stories about what Helen Jones-Kelly, Obama operative, did in Ohio and what Jennifer Brunner, Ohio’s Secretary of State, did to get as many fraudulent votes and fake voter registrations through in 2008, you have to wonder how much ELSE is going on that you never hear about.
As much as we love Glenn Beck, Andrew Brietbart, Anita Moncrief, Hannah Giles, and the rest who’ve been in the forefront exposing ACORN lately, we’re afraid of that Republican complacency creeping in again.
Congress passed a bill to cut ACORN’s funding…but ACORN is suing to get the funding restored. They will most likely win.
Funding ACORN is like putting Al Capone on the national payroll. It must be stopped.
George Soros is running a systematic campaign to put ACORN loyalists like Jennifer Brunner into Secretary of State positions in all 50 states if he can. He must be stopped.
We have only from now until 2010 to hit ACORN with everything we’ve got so the Liberals can be driven from Congress…with the larger goal of using 2010-2012 to make sure ACORN is completely eliminated before the 2012 elections, so Dr. Utopia will not have his greatest field asset available to him.
(2) The Five Horsemen of the GOP 2012 Apocalypse must be discredited and marginalized before the MSM can push them as the 2012 nominee.
See above where we talk about Democrats fighting future elections while Republicans are sipping martinis at cocktail party meet and greets and networking events.
Democrats are pushing five men to be Dr. Utopia’s opponent in 2012, all of whom are sure to lose against him:
(a) Mitt Romney — who conservatives will be lukewarm to, no one can get excited about, and whom flip-flops on just about everything so much even he doesn’t know what he stands for. That’s more fatal to his candidacy than his Mormonism is — because, like it or not, there are a lot of Americans who are openly hostile towards and prejudiced against Mormons. It’s not fair, but unlike with Islam, speaking out against Mormons is socially acceptable and highly encouraged by the MSM. Romney would make an excellent Treasury or Commerce Secretary in the next administration…but he is a very nice, bland man who should not be a Presidential or Vice Presidential nominee. Ever.
(b) Mike Huckabee — a very nice and likeable man who is exceptionally entertaining. He’s also very useful for Democrats because he was an excellent spoiler for Romney in Iowa in 2008. Democrats used Huck to take Romney down there, as Romney would have been a bigger threat in 2008 than McCain was. Democrats plan to use Huckabee again in Iowa in 2012, possibly to take down Sarah Palin or Fred Thompson, if the two of them decide to run. The MSM would treat Huck with kid gloves as long as he’s damaging other, stronger national candidates: he will appeal to conservatives and force his peers to get into social issues Republicans would be smart to avoid if they want to keep Independents in the fold. All Independents want to hear about are jobs, the economy, jobs, scaling back the overreach of government, jobs, and turning back Dr. Utopia’s encroachment into their private lives. Oh, and jobs.
(c) Tim Pawlenty – less exciting than watching paint dry. Plus, there has never been a good photograph taken of this man, not even by people who really like him and have tried for hours to take such a photograph. He always comes off looking droopy eyed and jowely, tired, and vaguely used-car-salesman. Like it or not, that’s going to matter when the media revs up to full blast to give Dr. Utopia a second term. You need to understand that the MSM bet everything on this man, and they will lose everything if he’s a one-term Carteresque failure. Tim Pawlenty does not have what it takes to be the Presidential nominee…though he might, just might, be a good VP pic. He’s more interesting and photogenic than Joe Biden, at least.
(d) Charlie Crist — someone else who would be used by the MSM like Huckabee, but who will ultimately be outed by the MSM when they are done using him to take down stronger candidates. Everything Crist did at the Green Iguana will one day be made public. It is only a matter of time. No amount of weddings can do Crist any better than they did Rock Hudson, Tom Cruise, or John Travolta. Charlie Crist might as well be a candleabra toting pianist for as believable he is as a heterosexual. Just like with Aaron Schock, another darling of the MSM for the GOP, Crist is a timebomb who keeps being built up by people who are eager to one day out him when he can do the most damage to the GOP.
(e) Jon Huntsman — the most interesting of all the Horsemen on this list, Huntsman was removed from his governorship and sent to China by Dr. Utopia, with Rahm Emanuel calling him a threat to Utopia’s second term. That’s like the Harlem Globetrotters talking about how much they dread playing the Washington Generals. Huntsman is a delusional fool. He will more likely than not indeed be encouraged to run in 2012. No doubt the DNC and large Democrat donors will fund his campaign. He is the candidate Democrats want to run against in 2012, more than Romney even, just as Dems wanted to run against John McCain. Republicans should stop talking about Huntsman as a contender immediately.
Pursuant to all the above, with our mind still on (1) as well, the GOP needs to come up with some way to keep the Democrats from gaming the 2012 nomination process and selecting whom they want to run against. We have no idea how to do that.
ACORN, if not defeated by then, will help Dems pick their favorite opponent. Dems will be encouraged to switch party affiliation so they can vote for Romney or Huckabee instead of someone who will actually beat Dr. Utopia. Dem donors will flood weak candidates with as much money as possible so they can cannibalize the vote and ensure the worst possible GOP standard bearer emerges.
Their plans are crystal clear in this…and we have less than three years to stop them.
What can you do to make sure the GOP nomination is not gamed next go round?
(3) Republicans need to give Independent and Moderate voters an excuse that lets them admit voting for Dr. Utopia was the dumbest thing they have done in a while.
We suggested this the other day, when we suggested a grassroots campaign should be started to “Blame Oprah” for all of this. We’ve found, anecdotally, here in Chicago that people are more likely to admit what a disaster Dr. Utopia is if they don’t also have to admit how stupid they are for having fallen for all of Utopia’s lies.
BUT, when we’ve suggested to these people that Oprah tricked them, and that they never would have backed Utopia if Oprah hadn’t told them to, then suddenly they speak freely about what a promise-breaking, lying, socialist embarrassment the current president is.
You might think this is ridiculous, but we swear it works. Even here in Boystown, where people were so drunk on Kool-Aid and deranged for Utopia that they once believed he really was the Second Coming. Then, they went through a period where they were quiet and disillusioned. Now, the majority of them unemployed (and never receiving any of the unicorns or stimulus money they believe they were promised), they’re starting to get angry.
What’s KEEPING them from speaking out, from taking to the streets, from having a Network “not going to take it anymore” moment, is the simple fact that they’d have to admit they were wrong first.
And that does not happen in the LGBTQ community. Pride isn’t just a festival at the end of June…it’s the thing that gets most often in the way of rational thinking.
Oprah is key to this roadblock. There should be tee shirts that say, “It’s all Oprah’s fault”, “Oprah’s ‘One’ means we’ve all lost”, etc. Someone out there will think of a really great slogan in this meme, we’re sure.
But, the idea is to give people an out…let them say, “I trusted Oprah and look what her candidate did to the country. I would have never bought into this nonsense if Oprah hadn’t sold it to me, like “The Secret” or Nate Berkus. Oprah did all of this.”
We’re telling you, it would work. Especially in the suburbs.
If not Oprah, then MSNBC.
CNN.
The New York Times.
The entire Mainstream Media.
All of them, collectively, personified in Oprah, sold America a bill of tainted goods for which we are all suffering now.
They should be blamed for all Dr. Utopia has wrought…and in blaming them, many millions of people would suddenly have the freedom and clarity to admit what a colossal mistake 2008 was.
A mistake that needs correcting in 2010.
But that’s only going to happen if Republicans ditch the cocktail parties, leave their yachts, and get engaged in the elections NOW, and not wait until a few months before in 2010, like they usually do.
Jennifer Brunner and Helen Jones-Kelley need to be talked about repeatedly in Ohio
Jennifer Brunner should be in prison.
Helen Jones-Kelley should be her cellmate.
A year ago, the MSM was crowing that Voinovich was stepping down and essentially handing the seat to Democrats.
Some of us here are from Ohio, and knew Voinovich when he was Mayor of Cleveland. One of us even used to work out with his niece Melissa, back when Voinovich was still being considered a VP pick for Bush back in 2000. We’ve been proud of how well he’s served our state in various capacities through the years and hope he’s headed for a well-deserved retirement. He has always been one Republican we’ve long supported, because of the personal connections in Cleveland.
But, we’ve been disgusted by the state of Ohio since 2008, when the antics of Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and former Director of the Department of Job and Family Services Helen Jones-Kelley came to light.
Brunner worked hand in hand with ACORN to commit voter fraud in Ohio; the woman should be in federal prison, not running for the US Senate. She deliberately and purposefully manipulated voter registrations to do everything she could to throw the state to Dr. Utopia last November…and went above and beyond her partisan duty in that regard. Brunner is a true disgrace to a state that deserves so much better from someone in charge of the fairness and accuracy of elections. There are no words to describe how mortified we are at the state of affairs in one of our home states: with Brunner at the helm, we have more confidence in the fairness of voting in Paraguay than we do Columbus or Cincinnati.
What a corrupt disgrace she is.
And that brings us to the absolute worst person in the state of Ohio at the moment, and that’s Helen Jones-Kelley, serial Muppet skinner and Dr. Utopia’s favorite minion in the state. This is the vile toad of a woman who abused her bureaucratic authority to misappropriate government resources and spy on Joe “the plumber” Wurzelbacher in the closing days of the 2008 campaign when Joe asked Candidate Utopia an impromptu question about his socialist agenda at a Toledo campaign stop. Dr. Utopia fumbled when called out on his socialist leanings, and so Wurzelbacher needed to be punished by the DNC and Utopia campaign.
Enter Helen Jones-Kelley, she of the bougie felt wardrobe and dearth of professional ethics.
It is embarrassing to the nth degree that slime like this had the power to pull government records on a private citizen and release them to the news media, in an effort to shame and discredit someone whose honest question embarrassed an unprepared, bumbling, socialist candidate.
As much as we love Ted Strickland for his undying support for Hillary Clinton in the primaries, we have to honestly say we’ve never felt right about him since the Wurzelbacher incident, either. He should have immediately fired Jones-Kelley, having her physically picked up by burly Teamsters and tossed out of the building on her bougie ass, if not dumped into the Cuyahoga or one of our other picturesque, sometimes-flaming rivers in the state. It took Strickland several months of “investigations” before finally asking for Jones-Kelley’s resignation.
Her golden parachute was the White House’s efforts on her behalf to land her a cushy, well-paid position on a charitable board, where she now sits (in ugly periwinkle felt, no doubt).
Shameful.
In 2006, Democrats in Ohio roared back to life because of the chaos and corrupt ineptitude of the Republican Taft administration in the state. If people like Jennifer Brunner and Helen Jones-Kelley are allowed to run wild abusing their authority and deliberately utilizing the tools and public trusts of their office to further the causes of Dr. Utopia and his agenda, then we think it might be time to clean house in Ohio again…and hopefully install good Republicans in office to fix what ills bad Democrats like Brunner and Jones-Kelley have wrought.
If Democrats lose control of Ohio again in 2010, it will be an earthquake-level repudiation of Dr. Utopia and his socialist corruption that even Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann at MSNBC couldn’t ignore.
Republicans need to take Charlie Crist down now before he does any more damage to Marco Rubio
Wave if you're fabulous!
Charlie Crist is playing the Race Card in Florida, apparently, according to an article in RedState talking about the latest sleazy attack ad Crist is running against Marco Rubio — an ad that talks about the color of Rubio’s skin and calls him Cuban.
What’s most interesting about the RedState piece is that it’s the first time we’ve seen a Republican site even hint at Charlie Crist’s escapades at the Green Iguana in Tampa.
During the 2008 campaign, the MSM pushed Crist as a VP choice for McCain, wanting him on the ticket so they could spectacularly out Crist and reveal everything he did at the Green Iguana in Tampa.
All the things he wore.
Pretty things.
Nicer dresses than anything the current First Lady of the United States wears.
And that’s quite a feat, too, considering orange is such a hard color to match anything to.
Crist has run one of the most shameful, underhanded, and despicable primary campaigns we’ve ever followed. He created a bogus video attacking himself that he then alleged the Rubio campaign put out. Then, his operatives whipped up an astroturf site to hammer Rubio for making the video that Crist himself engineered.
What’s stunning to us is that a man whose entire life is a giant, orange lie dares to do such shady, nasty things to his opponent.
If we were him, we’d be terrified of being outed.
Marrying the heiress to a joke and novelty beard mail order fortune (no lie, he really did that), doesn’t irrefutably establish a man’s heterosexuality any more than marrying Katie Holmes or posing bare-chested with a bossomy, bikini-clad constituent does (shout out to Tom and Aaron).
There are four men the MSM is pushing HARD to be the Republican nominee in 2012, because the MSM knows Dr. Utopia can easily beat these four fatally-flawed candidates: Charlie Crist, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Bobby Jindal.
We’ve met Romney and Huckabee and can tell you, honestly, we think they are good men at heart, but that they just won’t win against Dr. Utopia. Romney is too much of a flip-flopper and is too Ken Doll, boring, white bread. Huckabee is entertaining as all get-out, and he will certainly fire up the base, but he’ll alienate Independents and possibly make them sit home, since he’s perceived as too religiously zealot.
The exorcism Jindal was involved in is his fatal flaw, for anyone who can get passed his lackluster performances on TV and the ease with which he’s parodied as Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock.
Rudy Giuliani could get away with dressing up in drag and still be a credible candidate for national office.
Charlie Crist, oh he of the Green Iguana, cannot.
The quicker Republicans take Crist down and get behind Rubio, the faster you end this delusional timebomb’s national ambitions, the better it will be for everyone.
The only person we see on the field being able to take Dr. Utopia down in 2012 right now is Sarah Palin, so while you’re making your decisions about Crist, you might as well start getting behind HER too.
Sorry, Charlie, but the only President Americans want to see in a dress is an actual woman. You should count your lucky orange stars the Rubio campaign’s been kinder and less revealing about you than Democrats are (or would be in a national election).
Thursday Open Thread: November 12th, 2009
What’s on your mind this Thursday?
*******
Many thanks for everyone who helped us get into the Bill Clinton events here in Chicago yesterday. We have a full report in the works, with much behind the scenes tidbits. It’s a busy day for us this Thursday, so we’ll get the piece up as soon as we can. We really appreciate all the support and hope we can always be your eyes and ears on the ground here in Chicago for as many interesting things as we can.
******
Also, many thanks and hellos to everyone new who’s found their way here in the last two days. Every once in a while, a piece we do or a story we tell resonates with a new group of people out there…and we’re happy if something we put together here at Buzzquarters made people think or inspired them in ways we never expected.
During the campaign this happened, too, when Rush Limbaugh read a piece of ours on the air (and kept calling us “those Hillary babes at HillBuzz”, even though we are a bunch of 30-something gay guys (Hillary moderates all) in Boystown, Chicago…so we still chuckle about that one, because there are no women writing here). It’s nice when people outside our usual readership stumble upon us – because we hope you see that politics is one thing, and we can be on opposite sides on many small-picture issues, but at the end of the day what’s happening to our country should be paramount to all of us.
As we keep saying, we should be Americans first, partisans last.
Conservatives should not automatically dismiss or hate people like us because we’re gay Hillary moderates. Don’t change who you are to appease moderates…and don’t pander to the LGBTQ community either, beacuse you are never going to win Boystown, people (no matter how good you might look in that Speedo). Just dial the vocal hate down to zero, advocate low taxes and limited government intrusion into business, and show the LGBTQ community that voting for Moderates and Republicans could actually do much, much more to help gays start and keep their own businesses than voting for socialists ever will.
If we can be a bridge in things like this…and maybe help the right see not ALL moderate Independents and former Dems are bad…and help our own ranks see that not ALL Republicans are right wing zealots, then we all have a chance of stopping Dr. Utopia from getting that second term the MSM has already crowned him with.
There are many things we won’t ever agree on, we’re sure.
But we all seem to want to stop voter fraud.
We all want to eliminate the domestic terrorist organization and criminal enterprise known as ACORN.
We all want to stop Dr. Utopia’s thugs from gaming the caucuses and primaries in 2012 to pick the opponent he wants to run against.
We all want to see the Politically Correct police and Liberal Fascism crushed in the next three years.
And we are all sick and tired of the Race Industry and the antics of race-baiters like Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, Henry Gates, and all the rest who scream RAAACISM! at the drop of the hat for their own personal, opportunistic gain.
There are a lot of battles to fight, people. Divided over social issues and the old cultural wars, the Liberals always win. But, if Clinton Moderates, Independents, Former Dems, and Republicans can come together, we could decimate Liberals for another generation or two, solidifying Dr. Utopia as the new Carter…while paving the way for the first female president in 2012.
Be she Hillary Clinton…or Sarah Palin.
As long as we defeat Dr. Utopia, America wins.
******
This is completely on tangent, but we stumbled upon a photo of Nancy Reagan having lunch with Mrs. Utopia on June 3rd …which would be right around the five year anniversary of former President Reagan’s death. We hadn’t realized Mrs. Reagan was in Washington at that time.
While Mrs. Reagan looks lovely, and we are so happy to see her in the White House again, it’s always a little disappointing to see her in anything other than Nancy Reagan Red. Just like Barbara Bush Blue, Jackie Kennedy Pink, or Laura Bush Cream. When we think of Mrs. Reagan and her time in the White House, we think of her in those stunning reds she always wore. They were so flattering for her, and she looked so good in what she was wearing that she always gave the impression she cared enough about the event and the people around her to take the time to look her very best — while mindful she was ALWAYS representing the people of the United States in all that she did while living in the People’s House.
One of these people is dressed lovely...and the other looks like she's twelve feet tall.
Mrs. Utopia needs to learn many lessons from Nancy Reagan and all the women who’ve come before her in the role of FLOTUS.
Like Reagan, she should pick a signature color of her own — or at the very least, limit herself to either a pattern, stripes, or texture at a time, and not a hodge-podge of all three.
“Scowling” is not a color, no matter how ubiquitous it is for her or how much she would like it to be.
What we THINK happens in the morning when Mrs. Utopia dresses is that she picks out one piece of “outfit”, her daughters pick out one piece each (in Claire McCaskill style, they “bug her” to wear this or that), and then either an impossibly straight Secret Service agent or a randomly chosen member of the public selects the last piece of “outfit”.
All of this is done in the dark, everyone blind-folded if not sedated, with the people picking items in separate wings of the building, never allowed to communicate with one another.
That’s the only explanation we can think of for why the current FLOTUS perpetually wears these mixed-but-not-matched ensembles to once-in-a-lifetime occasions when we, personally, would have strived to look our very best.
Because, honestly, YOU ARE HAVING LUNCH WITH NANCY REAGAN. On the anniversary of her husband’s death. There are just six of your predecessors in the entire world alive today, each one deserving of your respect, especially the ones in their 80s who rarely make appearances in Washington anymore.
We say this repeatedly here, but the nicest Mrs. Utopia ever looks is in canary yellow, medium-range purple, or leopard print (and the most appropriate and prettiest she has ever looked, sadly, was in her Halloween costume last month…while her normal everyday clothes are what look like sad, rejected costumes).
If she made any of the above her signature color (or just wore that Catwoman outfit everyday, as it’s the nicest things he owns) and wore her hair nicely like in the photo above, stopped wearing those dowdy pearls (which have looked nice on other FLOTUSES, but look artificial and forced on Mrs. Utopia), and had the instinct to be seated in photos when next to someone who is not only older and shorter, but seated herself, then these little photo ops could be absolutely stunning keepsakes for the current residents of the White House.
Moments like this are so fleeting and rare…and it’s a shame they’re so Barnum & Bailey costumed when they could be simple and chic with minimal effort.
Michelle Obama Purple, Michelle Obama Yellow, Michelle Obama Leopard…any of those would be marvelous.
And, knowing how much this individual loves attention and kudos, perhaps Crayola could even NAME that particular shade after her. ”I’m now proud of crayons for the first time in my adult life,” she could say, and we’d be thrilled for her as long as she stopped dressing herself like this.
