Tuesday Open Thread: July 13th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Tuesday?
What are people in your part of the country talking about?
What one thing can you do today to give the Left a headache?
*************************************
Cross your fingers, because we’re tentatively booked to be on FOX & Friends this coming Sunday, 7/18, to talk with Alisyn Camerota about the voter fraud and intimidation Obama’s campaign committed in 2008.
If we can keep the news cycle interested in voter fraud through Sunday, we’ll be on. If a bigger story comes around, we’ll get bumped, as has happened in the past, so do whatever you can do to keep people talking about We Will Not Be Silenced between now and Sunday if you want to see us on FOX again.

QUESTION: What can YOU do to promote Sarah Palin's Mamma Grizzlies brand?
Governor Palin’s branding for her 2012 presidential run is pitch-perfect.
“Mamma Grizzlies” and the concept of “Pioneer Feminism”, along with the natural Alaskan imagery that goes along with this (uh, hot guys in short sleeved plaid shirts, jeans, boots, and maybe even lose the shirts anyone? Please) will be powerful visuals for her campaign. We love this, and want to encourage it as much as possible.
Take Todd’s shirt away too. That’s one stone cold fox of a grandpa.
We think Governor Palin is what this country needs right now, and we support her 100%. In addition to carefully reading every word she has ever written and all public statements she makes, we’ve met the woman in person (Todd too), and can attest to you that she is the real deal. She’s kind, considerate, sharp, and funny. If we didn’t think she was good for this country, we would not be committed to doing everything we can to see her win the Republican nomination and become our 45th president.
It will always, of course, be hard for us to see another woman make history in what should have been Hillary Clinton’s Oval Office. That’s a tragedy the DNC caused, and there’s no way for us to go back in time and change things now.
There is, however, an imperative to make sure we effectively use the period between 2010-2012 to make sure the Media and the RNC do not do to Palin what the Media, DNC, and RNC did to Hillary Clinton between 2006-2008. Too much is at stake to allow the 2012 Republican nominee to be one of the Soggy Sandwich Society cucumber-and-mayonnaise Romney/Pawlenty/Daniels/Thune/Huntsman/Gingrich Republicans who would lose a general election.
We want to promote Alaskan chic as much as possible in the two years we have to lay the groundwork for the Governor.
We also want to make her “Mamma Grizzlies” brand an indelible part of women and the men who stand with them going forward.
We also need to find a tweak on the branding to allow men to embrace it outright on their own….a testosterone-rich moniker similar to the Mamma Grizzlies in 2012 and the Hockey Moms of 2008.
Something guys can be excited about being. Poppa Bears, for the record, won’t work because “bears” is an existing concept in the gay community that has its own branding for males. Most Palin voters of the male gender would not want to be called “bears” in the Andersonville leather sense. Trust us. Otters and wolves are out for similar hirsute and parade-float ready reasons.
Something will come to us, we’re sure, but maybe you already have an idea of your own.
How can YOU promote the Mamma Grizzlies brand and help Palinize the Republican Party identity…and also find a creative way to hook men into this so that the Soggy Sandwich Society (we’d so love to actually get away with calling these guys limp dicks, because that’s what they are, but we would never want to use language like that, even though we sort of just did) never has a chance to catch on and usurp the Governor in 2012.
What think you?
EXCELLENT article at PUMApac by Darragh Murphy you need to read on Obama's voter fraud
We’ve said it before, and will say it for the rest of our lives: Darragh Murphy is an American hero.
She was one of the first people to call for a Resistance to Obama and the thuggery he used to gain office. While we were just starting to wake up to the reality of how corrupt the DNC is and what vile tactics they employ in their ends-justify-the-means approach to everything, Murphy was busy organizing a Resistance movement that became PUMA. The call of “People United Means Action” roared loud and strong in Washington, DC during Memorial Day weekend in 2008…when Hillary Clinton supporters marched on the DNC and its Rules & Bylaws Committee to demand every vote be counted and for the DNC itself to address the rampant fraud, voter intimidation, and other criminal activities of the Obama campaign. May 31st, 2008 is the day many lifelong Democrats realized the DNC was completely taken over by Leftists, and the party we knew ceased to exist.
As we formed Democrats for McCain here in Chicago in the aftermath of that Rules & Bylaws Committee Meeting, Murphy worked hard with Will Bower and others to rally Democrats nationwide to take the blinders off and see what the party had become. She, like us, has been at it ever since and though our paths have only crossed here and there (and we think we’ve actually become more conservative than she and many PUMAs are), we will never be able to thank Murphy enough for standing up and putting everything on the line to speak the truth about the Democrat Party and its Leftist coup.
People, if you don’t realize this, the Left eviscerated Murphy. The Alinsky Book was thrown at her with gusto. They attacked her personally, ruined her professional life, defamed and slandered her, called her every name in the book (which, being the Left, has a large chapter starting with RAAAA and ending in CIST! — seemingly the only word these loons know at times), threatened her family, and tried to break her.
But, they never succeeded.
Murphy is still standing strong, still fighting the Left, still rallying former Democrats to the PUMA cause and still working every single day to ensure Dr. Utopia and his band of thugs does not receive the second term the Media so desperately wants to anoint him with.
Murphy says repeatedly that PUMAs are in it for the long haul.
We will never stop until Americans on a national level take a long hard look at what Obama did in 2008 to win election. We can never change the past, but we can make sure the country learns from it so no Leftist like Obama is able to get away with he did ever again.
The most important thing is to educate people so that they see just how vulnerable our election system is to the Alinksy Method attacks of the Left. Something needs to be done about this, and Murphy over at PUMApac continues to lead a charge to do just that.
She’s a personal hero, and we like to think of her as a friend too.
Here’s just one excellent part of the new article she’s posted, which breaks down some of the vile things Obama did in the 2008 campaign:
But not only did Clinton receive more votes; she also received them in a climate of corruption, intimidation, and blatant favoritism practiced by the media and the party referees; the Dem party leadership and media honchos who had the hots for an obama presidency. In Nevada and Texas, the corruption and illegal activity by the obama campaign against Clinton voters at the polling places was so blatant and out of control that the Clinton Campaign officially registered a complaint with the DNCand requested an investigation into, among other things:
- Deliberately miscounted votes to favor Senator Obama.
- Deliberately counted unregistered persons as Obama votes.
- Deliberately counted young children as Obama votes.
- Refused to accept preference cards from Clinton supporters who were at the caucus site by noon on the ground that the cards were not filled out fast enough.
- Told Clinton supporters to leave prior to electing delegates.
- Clinton supporters who arrived late were turned away from the caucus, while late Obama supporters were admitted to the caucus.
- Obama supporters falsely informed Clinton supporters that no registration forms were available for them to register to vote at the caucus site.
- Obama supporters wrongly told Clinton supporters who were attempting to caucus at the wrong precinct that they could not caucus at that site, while simultaneously permitting Obama supporters at the wrong precinct to participate.
- Obama supporters were allowed to move to the front of the registration and sign-in line.
- Workers were informed that their supervisors kept lists of Clinton and Obama supporters, and were told that they could not caucus unless their name was on the list of Obama supporters.
- Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.
- Workers were required to sign a pledge card to support Obama if they wanted time off to participate in the caucus.
- Workers at one casino were offered a lavish lunch and permitted to attend and register to vote only if they agree to support Obama.
Help keep this thread on GretaWire to the front so more people can learn about We Will Not Be Silenced
The above is a link to a thread over on GretaWire about We Will Not Be Silenced and all the voter fraud and intimidation Obama engaged in back in 2008.
We need people to keep commenting on the thread so that it stays to the front on the site…this way, Greta herself will see it.
Here are some points we need you to make in your comments:
(1) Clip the Hillary-bashing that is happening there and tell people that regardless of how they personally feel about her, the point of the documentary is what the DNC and Obama campaign did to the American people. They robbed people of their voting rights. They used third world thuggery and intimidation to take votes away from people. THAT MATTERS. That should not be tolerated. Put aside the Clinton Derangement Syndrome for a moment and focus on the crimes — with the ultimate victim not being Hillary, but the American people who were treated this way by the DNC in an organized effort for Obama to win at all costs.
(2) Remind people that the 2008 primary thuggery and voter fraud is endemic to Obama and the way he is running Washington now. He pulled the same stunts in the general election in 2008. He has no respect for the rule of law. He will do these same things in 2012 if people do not wake up and form a Resistance against him.
(3) Democrats cannot be trusted in office. They have violated the public trust. With the elections coming in November, people need to take a look at how Democrats won in 2008, study all of the tricks and tactics used, and make sure they are not allowed to get away with this again.
(4) If we dismiss violations of voting rights in any case, then we corrupt our system. Who will stand up for you when your right to vote is usurped by some thug in a beret with an Obama sticker on his jacket? The Media did not want to report on this story. Why is this just getting out now? We need an investigation into the Media as well as the DNC. Americans deserve to know the truth about how the current president came to power.
Add more points in this thread if you can think of some really good ones. Never cut and paste — use your own words.
But, PLEASE, keep steering the conversation away from the diarrhea-grade Hillary bashing that happens in these threads to a focus on the crimes committed and the ramifications of those crimes on all of us in the elections ahead.
STRATEGY: Commit to 30 Days of pressuring the DNC and American Media to answer the question "Why was voter fraud and intimidation allowed to run rampant in 2008?"
Please use this thread to give us any ideas you have for how to make the next 30 days a living Hell for the DNC and Media in this country. We need to make Gigi Gaston’s documentary on voter fraud, We Will Not Be Silenced 2008, go viral…and force the DNC and Media to answer the question of why the Obama campaign was allowed to commit said fraud, engage in voter intimidation, and employ ACORN, the SEIU, the Black Panthers, and other thugs to install Obama into the presidency.
Ideally, we’d love to ultimately get DNC officials, and Democrats in office, to claim on camera that voter fraud is no big deal and that intimidation tactics employed in the name of Obama were allowed because the end result of election justified all means used to achieve it.
We are going to ask you to commit to writing letters, making phone calls, sending FedExes, dashing off emails, and not letting up on a host of people until some answers come out. It’s a distraction the DNC and White House do not want as they try to stem losses in November. It’s also something they do not want to talk about as Eric Holder dangles by a thread over his impeachment-worthy actions in dismissing the Black Panther voter intimidation case and making it Justice Department policy to not prosecute blacks accused of crimes against whites.
We always need to remind some people this, so we will say this again: if you don’t like Hillary Clinton, do not use this as yet another opportunity in your lives to say something bad about her. That is a sick compulsion you have that you need to own up to. It’s like us never missing an opportunity to say something bad about Sebastian’s ex David, or his mother Louella (the twice-divorced, publicly-shamed, adulteress). We know how fun those little digs can be. Trust us. And we sure love to repeat ourselves, tell the same stories, and go on and on and on about things we like talking about. We get that some of you out there are like this with your Clinton Derangement Syndrome. We’re not asking you to like our champ. We’re not asking you to come to her rescue, which is doubly absurd since all of this happened two years ago. We are just asking you to focus on the voter fraud and intimidation tactics Obama used in the 2008 primaries…and how that establishes a pattern for this “president” of using third world, banana republic, anti-American power coup maneuvers to get what he wanted.
Americans across the country have an adverse reaction to this sort of thing.
They do not know what Obama did in the 2008 campaign because too many of you get tripped up on the fact that he did it to Hillary Clinton. And, because a lot of you don’t like her, you say ‘Good’. Well, you need to see that he’s going to do the same things in 2012 unless he is stopped. If you don’t want people to say ‘Good’ in the future when he’s doing this to a candidate you support, then you need to help make noise right here and now to help us seize this one-in-million shot we have to give We Will Not Be Silenced the attention it deserves.
We have been waiting two years for a window of opportunity like this to open. TWO YEARS.
Please help give us 30 days of relentless pressure on those in power at a national level to make people sweat enough to start making the sort of amateur hour mistakes Democrats always make when they are flustered.
THAT’S what is going to help turn this Eric Holder scandal into a Watergate-grade event for Obama. It is never the crime, but the coverup that does these people in. Democrats never bothered to coverup the voter fraud because the Media never talked about it and too few Americans were ever interested in it.
If we can show Democrats that Americans ARE interested in the fraud now, the DNC, the White House, and others involved are going to start doing what they always do: saying the wrong things, lying conspicuously, turning on each other, and generally giving their entire game away by pretending what they did was not wrong while denying they did anything to begin with.
That’s the trap that always snares these mongrels.
But, seriously, you need to not be distracted by your usual impulses and turn this into a the umpteenth thread about what sort of president Hillary would have been, why you are mad she is Secretary of State, how you wish she would wear her gold pantsuit more often, how mad you are that a comment of yours is lost in moderation, or all the other tedious things that get repeated over and over again, like route prayers to blind deaf gods in a filthy chapel on the isle of Crazy.
Stop it.
Because if you want to stop Obama in 2012, you have to use your noodles today to strategize how best to keep the ball rolling on We Will Not Be Silenced so it can give the current “president” and his den of criminals and thieves endless nightmares for the next two years.
This has the potential to destroy all credibility this man has with independents and conservatives, as well as a good portion of the Democrat base. That will leave him with only the Leftists. And an informed public in 2012 will mean Obama’s Leftists will NOT be able to pull the 2008 voter fraud tricks again. That means no second term.
And that means we get America back, so President Palin can fix it.
God willing.
Start listing your ideas here.
John Ellis quote of the day: "This water tastes wet".
Talk about obvious, then maybe explain the concept to John Ellis, because he just wrote this inane piece on Sarah Palin talking about her “cranking up” her 2012 campaign.
We can only imagine what life is like in the Ellis household.
“Hey dog, you there dog. You’re the dog. You say, ‘woof, woof’. Dog. That’s you, you’re the dog. Woof, woof, woof”.
“I’m drinking this water. It tastes wet. It’s cold ’cause there’s ice in it. The ice tastes wet too. Water is ice”.
“Lookit that tree. It’s staying still. It has leaves. There’s bark on that tree. Woof, woof, woof. My pants are wet ’cause I just peed in them”.
Honestly.
Sometimes, the Leftists in the media are really so inane we feel compelled to write dialogue for them we know beyond a shadow of a doubt is true to form and accurate.
Governor Palin is indeed running for president.
The Media, the RNC, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and others are trying everything they can to stop her…and they will all lose, because they are, collectively, major losers. They are the Soggy Sandwich Society of cucumber-and-mayonnaise dull as paste Republicans who are committed to losing the 2012 race to Obama and handing him a second term on a big paper plate with a skim milk chaser.
Governor Palin is going to wipe the floor with these clowns.
And she’s going to kick Obama’s sorry can from Wasilla to Washington.
We will sink every cent, every moment of our day, absolutely everything at our disposal to help her to it too…and on Inauguration Day in 2013, we will proudly stand in that sea of Americans as we celebrate a new lease on life for the country we love with all our hearts.
Ellis, like all Leftists, believes Obama has been decreed a second term by whatever mystical power these people believe in. Gaia. Xenu. Garden gnomes. Barking trees. Your guess is as good as ours.
The meme Ellis seems to be spreading — as dictated by whatever replaced Journolist as the go-to place for writers like him to get their daily push-assignments — is that the Governor will be the GOP nominee unless Jeb Bush stops her, but that both will fall to the might of the Lightbringing Dr. Utopia.
This is a new twist on the usual pushing of the Soggy Sandwich Society. It marks the first emergence we’ve seen of the Jeb Bush as Palin spoiler tactic. While we aren’t sure who on Journolist dreamed this up, we’re pretty sure it wasn’t Ellis himself.
We hope Andrew Breitbart gets to the bottom of the Journolist scandal and sleuths out who in fact originated all the talking points that underlings like Ellis follow. Who’s ultimately behind all of this? Soros? Axelrod? Who?
**************
UPDATE: Though John Ellis failed to mention this in his article, he’s actually Jeb Bush’s first cousin.
That should have been noted the first positive mention he made for Bush. Writers do this all the time, in parentheses, by saying (Note: in the interest of full-disclosure, the person I am not going to shill for is a blood relative, whom I like very much, so I can’t be objective in this piece no matter how much Journolist wants me to lie to you and claim that’s what I am doing).
Shame, shame, shame on Ellis for not being straight-forward with this shilling for a relative.
Breaking the fourth wall: surreality of the day
Occasionally, we like to break the fourth wall around here and let you in on some of the more bizarre things that happen in our lives, in relation to this site and the adventures we become embroiled in because of it.
Yesterday, it was a complete surprise for us that the clip from We Will Not Be Silenced featuring K. would be featured so prominently on FOX throughout the day. It ran again and again and again, and was heavily promoted by FOX as well. This was unusual for us because K. filmed that segment for Gigi Gaston two years ago, when she first prepped the initial footage for the documentary. A great many of the people you see from the film are K.’s friends from Team Hillary here in Chicago, with that footage recorded in the summer of 2008, after Hillary suspended her campaign, but before the Denver convention. We’re guessing it might have been July of 2008.
Normally, whenever K. does a media avail, we know it’s coming and can brace for repercussions. And, normally, something just airs once and then it’s over with, but this FOX clip aired many times over the course of Sunday…which is great for the film, and was interesting for K. on a personal level because a half dozen times he happened to be somewhere with a TV on while either a promo or the actual clip itself flashed across the screen and he got recognized. In a waiting room for an appointment. At someone’s house. In a restaurant. At Target. It was surreal.
“Ain’t that you on TV there?”
“No, I don’t think so”.
“Yes, it is. That’s you. On the TV. Right there. You’re saying stuff”.
“You’re crazy”.
The really interesting thing about all of this is the difference in reaction K. got here in Chicago, as opposed to other things he’s done on TV talking about how terrible Dr. Utopia is in the past. During the 2008 campaign, for instance, when the Kool-Aid was strongest in Obama’s cultists, whenever K. would do spots for the Hillary Clinton campaign or for McCain/Palin telling viewers what a fraud, socialist, and race-baiting incompetent Obama is, he’d be recognized afterwards for a day or so and accosted by strangers shouting irrationally at him, because he dared to speak out against The Lightbringer.
That was pretty standard. Especially in Boystown, where people who watched the news made it a point to come up to him after one of these interviews and call him all sorts of names, threaten him, and get up all in his grill.
Well, times sure have changed.
Yesterday, when those FOX spots aired, no one said a damn nasty thing to K. all day…and he was clearly recognized from the clips. People sat and watched the segment with Gigi Gaston. No one shouted to change the channel. They sat and watched, some with mouths agape. K. said he could see people’s eyes focusing intently, as they absorbed the information and thought about the fact that Obama made it into the White House because of graft, fraud, intimidation, and thuggery.
Which, we have known all along.
Which, we have tried to get Americans to understand.
But, until now, Americans on a large scale did not want to listen to this simple truth.
Many people were so caught up in the whirl of pixie dust and Kool-Aid powder that they didn’t want to see through all that manufactured magic and step into reality. Other people didn’t want to let anything endanger the election of “the historic and unprecedented first black president”, just because they wanted to have a “historic and unprecedented first black president”, no matter how he got elected, no matter, really, who it was. Anyone from a phone book would have done, just so they could have this novelty at last. Like on the TV when “24″ was still good.
One of our greatest frustrations in life remains the fact that we were never able to get the Media and American public interested in the truth about Obama’s fraud and intimidation during the 2008 primaries, but we see clearly now that America just wasn’t ready to face the truth about Obama yet. They didn’t want to see who he really is, or what he did to get to where he is. They wanted to believe the myth Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, and Keith Olbermann promoted heavily on MSNBC. Anyone who spoke the truth was attacked, maligned, and destroyed…like the contemptible little boy who had the audacity to tell the world the corpulent, over-indulged emperor had no clothes.
Well, it sure feels like Americans are more willing to listen to the naked truth about Obama now.
Our experiences here in Chicago yesterday are anecdotal, of course. Maybe we just happened to luck into run-ins with people in public places watching FOX throughout a busy day who have been interested in voter fraud this whole time. Maybe they were too focused on the World Cup soccer action to have any energy left to berate and abuse K. for being on TV the way they usually do.
Who knows.
But, from our perspective, in our experience, things are night and day different from where they were back in 2008 when he filmed that segment for Gigi Gaston.
It’s like the stars have aligned and the Fates have conspired to give us this window of opportunity to promote the living daylights out of We Will Not Be Silenced and make it into a national story, now that Eric Holder’s shameless dismissal of the Black Panther case has made Obama’s indulgence of self-benefitting voter fraud and election crimes big news.
We heard an interesting rumor from a good friend in Michigan politics that Jennifer Granholm will be the next Attorney General, replacing Eric Holder sometime after November’s elections, when Rahm Emanuel will most likely be replaced as Chief of Staff by Valerie Jarrett. The fumbling of this Black Panther case was the last straw for Holder…he is now a lame duck just waiting for the aftermath of the elections to give the White House cover to fire him.
Then, Democrats will wail that since Holder’s gone, no further investigation into any voter fraud at all is unnecessary. Granholm will support this, because she had no problem at all with the fraud in Michigan and the deliberate stealing of delegates from Hillary Clinton there (despite supposedly being a friend of the Clintons, and a woman who thought she’d be Hillary’s AG when she became president). And Democrats will count on Republicans being spineless and myopic and just letting this scandal blow away into the wind, like everything else criminal Obama has done in the last two years.
We hope Americans won’t let this happen.
We hope every man, woman, child, cat, dog, and imaginary friend out there sees We Will Not Be Silenced and asks the question “What other instances of voter fraud committed by Democrats using ACORN, the SEIU, the George Soros Secretary of State Project, the Black Panthers, the NAACP, and the Race Industry are out there?”.
Who’s directing this voter fraud?
Who’s ordering this intimidation?
What did the current “president” know and when did he know it?
If people in Chicago, in BOYSTOWN, are actually sitting in rooms with FOX News playing, and don’t get up to change the channel when a segment critical of Obama like this comes on…then we’ve entered into a whole new phase of this failed presidency…where the Kool-Aid has worn off enough for former cultists to at least LISTEN.
We can not waste a single day in giving them access to Gaston’s impressive film to put this information in front of them.
Monday Open Thread: July 12th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Monday?
What are people in your part of the country talking about?
What are you doing to save America from the Left today?
********************************************************
INFO NEEDED: Can all of you who know Hispanic immigrant American citizens do us a favor?
One of the most bizarre things the DNC has done in the last few years is formulate the assumption that Hispanic immigrants want amnesty and a free pass to citizenship for the third world peasants who crossed our borders illegally and have been working under the table for pennies on the dollar, without paying taxes.
We think this is bizarre because we know a lot of Hispanics…and a lot of immigrants from all sorts of countries. All of these immigrants filed their papers, respected the process, studied for their exams, LEARNED ENGLISH, and waited in line for their green cards.
All of these legal immigrants look upon the illegals here in this country (and the American businesses and wealthy Liberals who employ them) with great contempt. They are not rooting for amnesty — and in fact feel that this is a major slap in their faces for having followed the rules.
We do not understand why Democrats believe ALL Hispanics out there want to see illegals pushed to the front of the immigration line and rewarded for the bad, and ILLEGAL, behavior.
Can you use your extended networks to get a pulse on this issue?
Can you report in this thread what immigrant citizens you personally know are saying?
Can you broach the subject with these people and ask them to chime in?
This would be invaluable to us…especially if you are sure to include what state and city the people you talk to are in. Through the extended coast to coast network of readers on this site, we should get a fuller picture on this than just what we ourselves can observe and report here in Chicago itself.
QUESTION: Who is Roxy Vanilla and what scandal is Lee Roupas covering up for the Chicago GOP?
Who is Roxy Vanilla and what's going on in the Chicago GOP?
We received a very cryptic and intriguing email today, which was also copied to the following people:
(1) J. Biver at Champion News
(2) Chicagoist.com
(3) Carol Marin, political reporter for the Sun Times
(4) Michael Sneed, political gossip columnist for the Sun Times
(5) Laura Washington, whom we believe writes for the Chicago Tribune
The email was titled “Sex, Lies, and Coverups — XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX Cook County Republican Party”.
We’re debating on whether or not to publish the email’s full contents, because what’s in the email is explosive enough to destroy the Chicago Young Republicans and the Cook County GOP. We’re, obviously, reluctant to do this because, Big Picture, Chicago needs a good, solid, strong GOP counterweight to the corruption, sleaze, and scandal that is the Democrat party by way of the Daley Machine.
BUT, the Catch-22 here is that the current Cook County GOP and Chicago Young Republicans are just as bad as the worst Democrats out there — as long as both groups are under their current corrupt leadership.
During the 2008 campaign, we ran Democrats for McCain efforts here in Chicagoland with about 90% of our Team Hillary members…who transitioned to helping Republicans for the first time in our lives after Hillary suspended her campaign on June 7th, 2008. We can honestly say that Hillary Democrats worked harder and invested more of ourselves in getting McCain/Palin elected than any Republican in Chicago did. With few exceptions, the Republicans we got to know through the campaign were more interested in attending cocktail parties and aggrandizing themselves than they were in actually doing the work to defeat Obama and the DNC. Former CYR president Keely Drukala is an exception, as she remains one of the most talented and committed conservatives we have ever met (who, we note, will be a United States Senator or Congresswoman some day…mark our words). Current Illinois GOP state chair Pat Brady is another exception, as he is truly someone all of us here would do just about anything on Earth for (a man we believe should be president). The problem with the GOP in Illinois has always been that people like Drukala and Brady are vastly outnumbered by the self-serving, ME-first, opportunists and schemers that populate Republican circles in Chicagoland. Those of you out there who criticize Brady or who criticized Drukala in the past don’t have a realistic idea of the greedy, lazy fools they are surrounded with…and the nonexistent ground team and infrastructure of the GOP in Illinois. The Republican Party is deliberately the Washington Generals in this state, which doesn’t have to be “blue”, but will remain so as long as Republicans nationally continue to allow the GOP in Illinois to be such an unfunny joke.
There are a lot of very nice people in the CYRs, however, many of whom we count as dear friends…but not the CYR’s current president, or a large portion of its executive team. There is nothing redemptive we can say about the Cook County GOP, or its mouthpiece, the Illinois Review, as run by the revolting Fran Eaton (a woman who makes sure the CYR president gets eternally good press, while he does whatever it is he’s doing to keep her happy…we suspect Krispy Kremes must be involved, because we’ve seen Fran Eaton).
Lee Roupas is not a good person. He is, in fact, the poster boy for what’s wrong with the Republican Party in general. He’s a Romney guy, and one of the forces here in Chicago that are working hard to send the 2012 nomination toward either Mittens or Tim Pawlenty. It’s the cucumber-and-mayonnaise Soggy Sandwich Society we have been warning you about — they of the blue blazers, the khaki pants, and the self-centered endless personal ambitions revolving around cocktail parties, networking, and patting themselves on the back for getting as much credit as possible for doing the least amount of work allowable.
There are LEGION of these guys like Lee Roupas nationwide. They are endemic to the GOP. They are the reason Republicans lose winnable elections, and are why unwinnable candidates are given party nominations. They are the “it’s his turn” brigade…and they are very much an all-boys, cover-up-for-one-another-club.
For over a year now, we’ve been aware of an explosive scandal that’s been rocking the Chicago Young Republicans, but because we know all parties involved in this personally, we have not spoken of it. One of the people involved has a romantic link to one of us here, so the whole thing is messy on so many levels.
But, we weren’t aware until today that Lee Roupas knew about everything that’s been going on, and that he’s been actively working to cover it up. That’s inexcusable. The root of the scandal is something that should have warranted jail time for the Republican involved…but he has been protected and helped, apparently, by the likes of Roupas and Fran Eaton all this time.
Carol Marin and Michael Sneed are worthless as actual reporters. We don’t know who the other people copied on this email actually are. Maybe they are worth something and will look into this. Since it’s been over a year now that this has all been brewing, we highly doubt it.
But, it seems whenever we mention something here on this site, people out in the world we can’t even possibly imagine seem to actually follow through and dig deeper into what is going on, and that’s always been a very good thing.
So, for those sleuths out there looking for something meaty to chew on today, try to figure out who a mysterious person calling him/her/themself “Roxy Vanilla” is, what scandal they are talking about involving Lee Roupas, and how this affects the Chicago Young Republicans and the Cook County GOP. We know more than we are willing to share at the moment, but don’t know anything at all about “Roxy Vanilla”.
WHO this is and what their motivation is intrigues us…as well as the new information that Lee Roupas is involved and working overtime to cover up an explosive scandal involving, according to this email, “Sex, Lies, and Coverup”.
Start sleuthing.
Great Merciful Zeus: Gigi Gaston on FOX challenges DNC to answer for the voter fraud it allowed in 2008
Here’s filmmaker Gigi Gaston on Fox & Friends this morning, calling for an investigation into the fraud and voter intimidation Obama and his campaign engaged in back in 2008.
This is how Obama took the nomination from Hillary Clinton, and he used these same thug tactics in the general election to intimidate voters. He will be using the same playbook in 2012 as well, unless he and the DNC are stopped.
In this FOX clip, it’s noted that Gaston is the granddaughter of a former Democrat governor…and she’s now dedicated her life to exposing the DNC for the cesspool of corruption, fraud, and illegal activity that it is. That is the same boat all of us here are in as well: until 2008, we were all lifelong, unquestioning, party loyal Democrats who never in our lives dreamed our party would be responsible for thuggery like this.
The best way we can describe the feeling we have when we think about the DNC is to remember what the human characters on the TV show “V” felt like when they saw the masks ripped off the “Visitors”, revealing them to be lizard people underneath. Even people who had been helping the Visitors, and trying to convince others that they were really here to “serve the human race” in the non-cook book sense were instantly transformed into Resistance fighters when they saw what really lurked behind those masks.
So it is for many lifelong Democrats out there, including such prominent names as Lynn Forester de Rothschild as well, who will never look at the DNC the same way again…not after its mask has been ripped off so spectacularly.
We need to find as many creative and engaging ways as possible to get conservatives and independents out there, who did not pay attention to the Democrat primaries in 2008, to know the story Gigi Gaston has told so well in We Will Not Be Silenced 2008.
It’s the only way to stop the lizards at the DNC from doing all of this again in 2012.
Every day counts, because when the next presidential election rolls around, time will be precious and we refuse to be in a position where we’re wishing we had these two years to get back.
