It's Not Your Seat LeNa! New ad hits JaBrowski where it hurts, and compares her to HRH Princess Caroline of Kennedy
It's not your seat, LeNa JaBrowski!
If we had audio and video skills, this is the sort of ad we’d make.
For some reason, they don’t have it on YouTube so you have to go their site to view it: It’s Not Your Seat, LeNa!
Honestly, LeNa JaBrowski is not the only person who should be mocked relentlessly for all of this…the Cocktail Party GOP leadership should also be eviscerated for not completely stripping JaBrowski of her rank and membership in whatever committees she’s sitting on.
Who cares if she votes with Democrats in a lame duck session after the election.
We GUARANTEE you Democrats will be so rattled by what happens on November 2nd, and so terrified of the public, that they will not have the guts to do anything crazy between November and January.
And if they do — God help them — there very well could be a march on Washington by the American people to stop it.
So, LeNa JaBrowski has been threatening to break ranks and vote for crazy things out of spite if she doesn’t get to keep her committee memberships. Let’s call her bluff. All she will do by joining Democrat ranks is further destroying whatever hope for a future she has left.
Republicans need to stop being so wimpy when it comes to blackmailers.
CALL THEIR BLUFFS.

UPDATE: Here’s the ad on YouTube
Governor David Paterson to appear on SNL this weekend. He should not give credibility to this show by appearing on it.
Word is that New York Governor David Paterson will appear on Saturday Night Live this weekend — ostensibly to prove what a good sport he is about the sick and twisted skits Fred Armisen portrayed Paterson in the last few seasons.
Normally, we encourage politicians to appear on SNL and in other entertainment programs because it can do wonders for softening an image and showing “what a good sport” that person is.
This business with Paterson and SNL is different, though, because we think the skits SNL has done mocking Paterson are just beyond the pale.
For the uninitiated, SNL uses actor Armisen to depict the New York Governor as a bumbling Mr. Magoo, who knocks over stage lights, trips and falls over furniture, endangers the safety of others on the set by wildly waving large objects, and generally doing things that mean-spiritied 12 year old boys would dream up for a skit about the blind at summer camp.
We’ve known and worked with several blind people through the years, and are watching a good friend of ours now deal with her macular degeneration.
None of these people carried themselves like circus clowns, and Paterson doesn’t either.
He’s a clown, mind you, and does ridiculous things…but that’s not because he’s blind.
He makes bad decisions, has a history of drug use, and isn’t the sharpest crayon in the box…but none of that has to do with his vision, and he’s never once been reported on as having knocked something over, caused a disaster because he bumped into things, or otherwise harmed anyone because of his lack of sight.
Saturday Night Live should make fun of Paterson…for his dreadful job performance. SNL should make fun of every elected official who’s not doing a good job. That starts with the White House and should carry through coast to coast, including way more Democrats than are typically lampooned on this show.
But, doing skits based on stale blind jokes?
Really?
This is seriously the best these people can do?
Governor David Paterson makes a lot of mistakes in office. The only good thing we can think of that he did was to deny HRH Princess Caroline of Kennedy that Senate seat. That was so good, however, that the man has a permanent well of affection with us…because, really, how wonderful was it that the Kennedy Family got told NO about something.
It’s a mistake to validate those blind jokes by appearing on SNL like this.
Paterson evidently just wants to be on the show, while he still can, before he’s out of office. His political career is over and if this is what he wants as his reward for sticking it to Princess Caroline, then let him have it…but we hate that this might embolden SNL’s talentless writers to do more blind jokes in the future.
“See, he didn’t have a problem with it. He came on the show. So that means we can push the envelop further next time, and really make fun of the blind”.
It’s sad anyone would lend any sort of validation to that thinking.
Two Major Obama Supporters Bite the Dust at NBC and CNN
Jeff Zucker has been fired over at NBC.
Jonathan Klein has also been removed as head of CNN.
These two men are big Obama Kool-Aid drinkers, and pushed for their respective networks to become Obama cheerleaders in 2008.
Zucker did this, in large part, because he believed betting everything on Obama would mean that, once president, Obama would give big payback perks to GE, NBC’s parent company, and Zucker would look like a major hero to his corporate overlords for increasing their profitability with this newfound love coming from the new White House.
That really didn’t happen though, because Obama does not reward any of those who’ve served him. Their reward, in his mind, should be limited to the joy they get in worshipping at his feet and doing his bidding. SERVICE to “The One” is, thus, it’s own reward.
Klein over at CNN is the dumber of the two network executives, which is saying a lot for anyone who has watched Zucker tear NBC down from the top network to the fourth. FOURTH. That’s staggering. To go from first place to last, while raking in millions of dollars a year in salary. It’s stunning GE let this man get away with it.
But, what did Klein and CNN get for throwing out all credibility in service of Obama?
Aside from tainting their long-established brand, neither of them got anything out of that deal.
Now that Comcast has purchased the networks of NBC, and now that Zucker has been booted to the curb, we’re waiting to see how Obama is served by the media in the days ahead.
It’s clear Obama-worship is not profitable, and will not lead to high ratings.
If either was true, then GE would not have sold money-losing NBC to Comcast, and NBC would have never lost money because its shameless and relentless Obama promotion would have kept the network at number one (provided viewers were as infatuated with Obama as Zucker seemed to believe they were).
Do you think NBC can recover with a new president?
Will CNN ever be seen as anything but a Democrat propaganda channel?
What do you think this bodes for coverage of Obama in the national media for the last two years of his term?
How the Left destroyed the Democrat Party: the loss of the Clinton Coalition
All of us here were Democrats for about 32 years of our lives…until 2008 when the Left took over the party and pushed the Clinton Coalition out.
Here’s an article today by Jay Cost touching on this a little, and it’s worth mentioning because WE are literally some of the people discussed in it:
Clinton inherited a coalition consisting of minorities, liberals, urban voters, and a decent remnant of Jacksonian voters in the Ohio River Valley and the South, who still preferred a moderate-to-conservative Democrat to a Republican. This coalition became a majority coalition when Clinton used a combination of fiscal conservatism and social moderation to bring suburban voters on board. This was a huge innovation for Democrats; suburbs like Nassau County, NY, Orange County, CA and Fairfax County, VA had fueled the rise of the Republican parties in those states. Clinton moved them substantially toward his side. This coalition allowed him to win by eight points in 1996; absent Perot and a last-minute fundraising scandal, he probably would have won by more.
Almost all of us (save Joaquin, from Texas) have roots in the Ohio River Valley and come from lifelong Democrat-voting families that, as noted above, “preferred a moderate-to-conservative Democrat to a Republican” all those years.
That’s why Hillary Clinton absolutely TROUNCED Obama in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, and wherever Democrats like us abhorred the Left and were part of the Clinton Coalition.
The Clinton coalition was a political winner, for a while. But liberal Democrats were none too pleased with Clinton’s style of governance. Al Gore had to fend off a primary challenge from Bill Bradley, then Ralph Nader played spoiler, blasting Gore and George W. Bush as “Tweedledee and Tweedledum,” then finally the left rebuked Hillary Clinton in 2008.
This was the Left’s plan in 2004: to advance Obama, usurp Hillary Clinton, and in 2008 FINALLY, at long last, after having plotted and schemed for so long, install a Leftist president, with a Leftist-controlled national party, controlling a Leftist Congress, to usher in The Golden Age of Hope and Change utopia these Leftists had long fantasized over.
They thought they could force their will upon the American people, regardless of what voters wanted, because for some reason they assumed that once they had taken over the entire government they could hold it by force for as long as they wanted.
The article notes they shouted YES WE CAN! in 2008 not so much in regards to nominating Obama and electing him president, but in terms of defeating the moderates and conservatives on the Democrat side of the aisle and making the Democrat Party a complete, 100% Leftist party.
Oh, yes they did.
But comeuppance for this is coming.
Oh, yes it is.
We’ve told you many times how permanently disgusted with Democrats we are. Never again will we vote Democrat, so long as there’s a Republican alternative who is better for this country. If in some strange instance the Republican running is more terrible, even strategically, than having a Democrat win, there’s a good chance we won’t vote for either of them. But, that would take a truly terrible Republican for us to reach that point.
Democrats, under Leftist control, just shouldn’t be trusted with elected office.
All across the Ohio River Valley, throughout the whole Midwest, and we hope coast to coast, people seem to be waking up to that reality.
Glad it’s not just us.
QUESTION: Are Democrats making Speaker Michele Bachmann more likely?
We’ve made no secret of whom we want to be the next Speaker of the House — and that’s Michele Bachmann.
The Cocktail Party GOP establishment has been set on John Boehner becoming Speaker, and frankly, we can’t stand the guy.
He’s a wimp.
Not as bad as Mittens Romney or Tim Pawlenty, and certainly not as effete as the current president and the wusses of the current administration, but Boehner is not the sort of strong-willed, determined, take-no-prisoners, punch-them-in-the-face, leader the nation needs as Speaker.
That would be Michele Bachmann…the absolute perfect successor to Nancy Pelosi.
The Cocktail Party GOP establishment has long made it clear it would block any route to a Bachmann speakership, because it wanted good old boy Boehner in that role.
But, now Democrats are coming forward claiming Boehner had an affair, and are using this to hit him in an election year, trying to distract voters.
This, as we’ve told you dozens of times before, is what Democrats do.
They gather files on every Republican, particularly against the closeted gay ones like Aaron Schock, Mark Kirk, and Lindsey Graham, then wait for a moment when they need to generate negative headlines for the GOP, and WHAM!, out come the revelations of whatever secret things they’ve been up to.
Because Republicans claim to be leading wholesome marital lives — or in the cases of Schock, Kirk, and Graham, these men claim to be straight, when they are anything but — the National Enquirer-grade attacks Democrats launch are always effective because it paints the GOP as the party of hypocrites. The goal here is to make Republicans seem just as bad as Democrats, so that voters fall into the “lesser of two evils” meme…which makes them more likely to muscle-memory vote Democrat if that’s what they’ve been doing for the last 30 years.
The Cocktail Party is never going to learn, folks. This is how they’ve been doing business for the entirety of their individual times in Washington. All of these guys know Democrats have files on them. All of them know that some day that file will be used. But the allure of wealth, power, beautiful Brooks Brothers blazers, and unlimited cucumber-and-mayonnaise sandwich buffets blinds these fools to the fact that they only get to stay at the cocktail party as long as Democrats want them there.
We hope the Tea Party seizes upon Boehner’s upcoming scandal — if Democrats successfully launch one — and take this opportunity to install a Speaker Bachmann, who would break all the old paradigms and give Democrats a real run for their money.
Do you think that’s a possibility?
STUNNING: Are you following Christopher Coates' testimony regarding the Justice Department's dismissal of charges against the Black Panthers?
You need to follow what’s happening with Christopher Coates’ testimony regarding the Justice Department’s dismissal of charges against the Black Panthers.
The Obama 2008 campaign relied heavily on ACORN, the Black Panthers, the SEIU, and other union thugs to intimidate voters, fill voter rolls with fraudulent names, and engage in every dirty trick Democrats could come up with to ensure their new living god was elected president.
Since Obama took office, Attorney General Eric Holder has instituted a policy where black people are not to be prosecuted for the crimes they commit in the Voting Right realm. There is currently an official policy in the Justice Department that declares the color of a person’s skin determines whether or not that person will be prosecuted for federal crimes.
We wonder what Martin Luther King, Jr. would say about that.
Shouldn’t the content of someone’s character be what makes the Justice Department decide whether to prosecute or not?
Eric Holder needs to be removed as Attorney General.
Yet again, we’re in a situation where we know the GOP does not have the strength, courage, or determination to speak up and shout Holder out of office.
Regular Americans coast to coast need to take a hard look at what’s going on in the Justice Department and begin a grassroots, groundswell demand for the current administration to clean house…starting with Holder’s removal.
This testimony from Coates today is stunning stuff. It’s inexcusable, and Holder must be removed from office.
