Have the Democrats Lost My Vote This Election? Probably

What have the Democrats done to lose my vote and is there anything they can do to regain it? First of all I have jumped to the McCain camp and I am enjoying it and I am beginning to wonder whether or not I have been a closet Republican for the last 20 years and did not know it. I have been running my mouth on Republican subjects since I jumped ship and sense there is a ear listening and believe me this is important. Next time I run I might run as a Republican. This will entail getting the computer genius to change my web site to read, Randy Crow - Republican for President. For some reason this is humorous to me. But anyway why am I pissed off at Democrats? There are actually lots of reasons and pent up hostilities. For the last two presidential elections I have tried without success to become a delegate to the Democratic Convention. Since 1996 I have paid the filing fee and entered 15 political races, spent at least $70,000.00 of my own money, written hundreds of articles, done, this, that, and the other and I can't become a Democratic delegate? There is a message here, the Democrats don't want me. But there may be a bigger message, the Democrats may not want people like me in the party. Whether or not this political system wants to admit it remains to be seen, but there are other people like me living in the USA who want to be represented. This tirade is over.

The Democratic straw that broke the camel's back was Howard Dean. When Howard Dean tossed Florida and Michigan's delegates he lost me. Howard Dean tossing delegates is rigging the presidency. Howard Dean is taking the votes of like 2 million voters and giving their vote to him. Howard Dean single handedly screwed up democracy. Hillary is secondarily the issue. Rule number one to be an American in my book is you don't rig elections. Howard Dean rigged the election and the Democrats lost me in the process. Merry Christmas. The Democrats may never have wanted me. Fine.

Another problem I have, came to my attention, after I jumped shipped. Barack Obama is not even eligible to run for president is my take. To be a natural born citizen both of one's parents must be US citizens. Obama's father was not a US citizen, Obama is ineligible. This is my call. It is possible an American girl could get pregnant by a non US citizen and the child grow up to become president. Obama is a different situation. Obama is claiming a non US citizen as his father. Obama lived outside the USA as a young child. To my mind Obama is not a natural born US citizen. Obama has not shown us his original birth certificated signed by his mother and the person who delivered him. Until we see an original birth certificate to my mind this is a potential problem. Loyalty is also an issue here.

A reason Obama may name his VP before the convention is he does not want any chance of losing the nomination for President, and may feel if he names his VP this will claim the Democratic nomination for President for him.

As I said at the start I am liking the Republicans and there may be absolutely no way for me to vote Democratic in November. Period. End of discussion. However if Hillary became the Democratic nominee for president at the convention even with my problems with Obama's eligibility to be president and Obama became the Democratic nominee for VP then it would depend on what McCain does, but it is possible at this point I would vote Democratic. If McCain picked SC Gov. Mark Sanford for his VP then I would vote Republican even if Hillary was the Democratic nominee for president and Obama the VP. If McCain picked Chuck Hagel for his VP, since I detest vote fraud, and if Hillary was the Democratic nominee for president then I would vote Democratic.This is the only scenario I can imagine that would send me back to the Democrats, Hillary at the top of the ticket and Hagel as McCain's VP.

What I am going to be trying to ascertain to the best of my ability is who is the bad guys' choice for president. What the bad guys' want, I don't. At this point in time I think the bad guys' are behind Obama.

Dirty Politics

DHL announced in May, 2008 a restructuring plan in which DHL said it planned to hire United Parcel Service to move some of its air packages, sending them through an airport in Louisville, Ky., and putting the Wilmington Air Park out of business. Some 8,000 jobs could be at stake, Wilmington officials estimate.

Since Wilmington, Ohio is approximately 150 miles from Louisville, Ky, and DHL is giving UPS business, and the announcement was made at the start of political season, logic dictates this big media event smells fishy and reeks of typical Karl Rove type of dirty politics designed to embarrass McCain, generate a cry against the very competent Mr. Davis, and throw the election to Obama. McCain must win Ohio and this news should hurt McCain in Ohio and possibly cost him Ohio. It is hard to imagine there is much significance in giving the operation to UPS other than deliberate dirty politics to hurt McCain. What should McCain do? Expose it as dirty politics. Investigate the cost saving or expense to determine if the move makes sense financially. If the move does not make sense financially then if would give the McCain campaign ammunition to classify this as bad guy throwing the election to Obama. Of course big media's McCain smear did not include a picture of a happy supporter proudly showing the world a picture of McCain.

As big media news is smearing McCain today, they are helping Obama with a very positive article entitled
Island life in multiracial Hawaii shaped Obama. His mother's charitable work, his multiethnic friends and the economic gap between his family and his classmates at the island's most prestigious private school _ he attended on scholarship _ helped forge Obama before he left for college on the mainland.

Yea, yea. Let's go to neat Hawaii. The Obama article did mention Obama was the child of a white mother and a black father who had met in Russian class. OK, Let's think about this a little. Who takes a Russian class? Those who love Russia. In 1960 Russia is a communi$t country which wants to install Fidel Castro as a communi$t Dictator of Cuba and locate missiles there to blow the USA away. Cool. Let's train our child to be president, turn the US into a communi$t country, and blow the American people away. Neat. Yea. Let's vote Obama. USA a communi$t country. Kill Americans. Blood in the streets. Martial law. Prisons. Torture Americans like McCain was tortured. Steal from the rich and give to the poor, Jacob "Holocaust" Rothschild, Rockefellers, James Baker III.

The political news today is an example of what makes me think the bad guys want Obama president. What the bad guys' want, I don't. Isn't it amazing how far out the bad guys' plan. Fidel Castro and turning Cuba communi$t is the manipulation of a part of the CIA of which Big George was involved.The bad guys' needed a location to stash their drugs before they bring them to the USA and needed a prison, Guantanamo, to torture Americans and set up military tribunals. When Obama is president the bad guys are going to have to decide which Americans live and which Americans die. This is why comrade Little George has established military tribunals. After torture Abu Ghraib and John McCain style, comrade Little George's military tribunals will decide who lives and dies in the USA, and give the loot, gold fillings on up, to the bad guys.

We have got to take our banking system away from the bad guys.

Obama's Dilemma

Obama may not name his VP until the convention because no one wants it until the convention and the party decides that Obama is in fact the Democratic nominee for president. Certainly one would think a smart guy like Evan Bayh might politely say I will accept and it is an honor but please don't make me the offer until the party gives you the nomination. Another reason for McCain not to name his VP until Obama names his. If Hillary ended up with the Democratic nomination for president and Obama was her VP, McCain might completely rethink his entire game plan to become president including his VP.

Anyway one cuts the Democratic convention it should be contentious. Talk about riots, the Democratic convention might be professional wrestling, and the Republican convention amateur night. The Republican Party is in the cat bird seat as far as conventions are concerned. I could tell the Democrats what they should do but I think I am not going to or a least hold off since I am pissed at them.

My Top Pick for McCain's VP is still SC Gov. Mark Sanford

I was going to make my case today for McCain to pick SC Gov. Mark Sanford if Obama announced that Evan Bayh was his running mate. If Bayh is named Obama's VP I will state my case for Gov. Sanford. However I am going to hold off until the Democratic VP is named since there are so many other scenarios which could develop. Although my gut feeling is regardless of who the Democrats pick for president and VP, I think my pick for McCain's VP is Gov. Sanford in all cases. My Gov. Sanford call I'm making without having met Gov. Sanford and have only seen him speak on a dial up connection Internet video deal, the notorious Wolf Blitzer interview. Gov. Sanford's voice sounded fine and he came across strong. Although there is a lot of slip between the sip and the lip for Bayh, I would love a match up between Bayh and Sanford. Bayh and Sanford both went to UVA and it would be like McCain against a guy from the Naval Academy or EHS. All would not be intimidated and the one most prepared would win. Bayh and Sanford are probably the closest matched financially and come from similar backgrounds. There is no doubt Bayh has an awesome resume, but some of Bayh's comes from good training from his politician father. But Sanford most assuredly was trained well by his father, differently, but no less trained. Al Gore was well trained by his father and he lost, ( Though Gore was beaten through vote fraud, and hopefully there will not be vote fraud.) so Bayh can be beaten. Obama and McCain will go after different voters. Sanford will still do better in Florida and Texas than will Bayh. Character is what the voter judges. When the gloves are off its all reflex and where your heart has been since you were born. I can remember wrestling at St. Albans, I think. It was a damn obnoxious DC school. Lost. Truly loud and obnoxious crowd. In retrospect I think I may have been intimidated a little. The guy was a hot shot. My sons are good athletes. But I did beat the Captain of EHS's wrestling team my senior year. Now that was fun. At EHS. I thought Neil Bush went to WFS. One of them did.

Bush: China must end detentions, ensure freedoms

The same day of his arrival in Beijing for the Olympics, President Bush plans to pointedly express "deep concerns" about the state of human rights in China and urge the communist nation to allow political freedom for its citizens.

"America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists," Bush is to say in the marquee speech of his three-nation Asia trip. "We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly and labor rights - not to antagonize China's leaders, but because trusting its people with greater freedom is the only way for China to develop its full potential."
Bush is to deliver the address in a Bangkok, Thailand, convention center on Thursday morning to a crowd of foreign diplomats, Thai government leaders and business officials, before flying to China later that day. The White House released the text of the president's speech nearly 18 hours in advance, as Bush flew to Thailand from South Korea.
The speech was planned as a summary of Bush's views of U.S. strategic interests in Asia and his policies toward the crucial region during his presidency. But his remarks on China, among his most directly critical ever in public, stand out.
He says he has built a relationship with China's leaders over the years - through opposing independence for Taiwan and cooperating on economic matters, for example - that has allowed him to be "honest and direct" on the sensitive matter of China's internal policies.
"I have spoken clearly, candidly and consistently with China's leaders about our deep concerns over religious freedom and human rights," Bush says in the prepared text.
Earlier Wednesday, during a news conference in Seoul with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, Bush said China's pre-Olympics crackdown on dissent has been "a mistake."
The communist country considers the Olympics a source of huge national pride and is pulling out all stops to ensure no embarrassments. It has rounded up dissidents, detaining some. Journalists covering the games have objected to restrictions on Internet sites, worried about possible censorship.
"You ought to welcome people being able to express their minds," Bush said Wednesday.
In Thursday's speech, the president is softening his message somewhat by saying any changes in China would have to come "on its own terms and in keeping with its own history and traditions."
"Ultimately only China can decide what course it will follow," he says.
Still, his strong message is likely to anger the leadership in Beijing.
Bush already drew the ire of Chinese officials by meeting last week at the White House with prominent Chinese exiles and dissidents.
Bush has made clear that he is going to Beijing mostly as an Olympics fan, but that he would talk frankly with Chinese President Hu Jintao during their private meetings. It was also known that he would speak publicly about religious freedom after attending a Beijing church service.
But his speech takes his usually gentle criticism of China up a notch.
In addition, White House press secretary Dana Perino said the U.S. would protest China's decision to deny a visa for former Olympic speed skater Joey Cheek, who was planning to travel to Beijing to urge that the Chinese government help make peace in the war-torn Darfur section of Sudan.

More than 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million displaced in fighting in the western Sudanese region since ethnic African tribesmen took up arms in 2003. China is considered a major player in the situation, as it controls almost of all of Sudan's oil potential and also supplies weapons to its government.
"We are taking the matter very seriously," Perino said Wednesday. "We would hope that they would change their minds."
