Postcards from the 08 Election

My brilliant blogger buddy Sean Hackbarth shared some interesting, connect-the-dot stories regarding the Blago/Obama senate seat scandal and the ongoing Coleman ballot counting:

With the Illinois seat Sen. Reid and the Democrats are in a bind. Roland Burris’ lawyer sent Sens. Reid, Durbin, and Feinstein a letter hoping for a “smooth transition” then citing Marbury v. Madison.



We have learned Sen. Reid was in contact with Gov. Blagojevich urging him not to appoint Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. to Obama’s Senate seat.



With the Minnesota seat Sen. Cornyn threatened to filibuster to stop Al Franken from being seated until the courts have dealt with his election against Sen. Norm Coleman.

An honest lefty will have to admit that they were played skillfully by Obama this election cycle. The rest will cling bitterly to their limited edition coffee mug and HOPE for a miracle. Unfortunately, the miracle they truly seek won’t arrive until 2012.

Senator Saxby Chambliss WINS


Fox News reports:

ATLANTA — Georgia’s seemingly endless U.S. Senate campaign drew to a finish on Tuesday with Republican U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss claiming victory in a race that will sway the balance of power in Washington.

Chambliss faced Democrat Jim Martin in an extra innings campaign that drew national political heavyweights from both parties. The runoff between the former University of Georgia fraternity brothers was necessary after a three-way general election prevented any of the candidates from getting the necessary 50 percent.

Perhaps it was the stomping by Palin that put him over the top!

Speaking Truth To Power

Now conservatives can claim that phrase, along with all the other unfounded soundbites favored by the left. As an added bonus, they now can be used in the proper and correct context – I can’t wait to use them!

MachoSauce gives his 2 cents on the results of Tuesday’s election:


Yeah, I agree, Machosauce is HOT.

Welcome to the United Socialist State of America.

The voting public has spoken and chose the most unqualified person imaginable for President of the United States. Then again, the voters were ripe for the winds of change and would have voted for Pol Pot if he were the Dem’s presidential candidate.

We are now have front row seats to the spectacular failure that will define the Obama presidency. Of course, all abject failures of this regime..er..presidency will be blamed on Bush administration, the main stream media will concur, until they can’t hide the inadequacy of this new administration.

I’m disappointed the nation will have to endure this quisling-in-chief for four long years. This could have been avoided, but maybe it IS a good thing. Obama may be revered by low information voters; but they are in for the mother of all buyers remorse when they realize that Obama will not direct rays from heaven to erase their mortgage payment and provide them with an O-nation gas card.

This administration will not be the end of the United States, it will do its damn best to change the fundamental character of the United States and fail – magnificently.

Today the Dow sank below 400 erasing gains, yesterday hamas rocketed Israel and a chill wind blew in an overcast, rainy day in Philly. A sign of things to come?
Steve Den Best makes some prediction, and I have tacked on to the list some of my own (7-10).

1. Obama’s “hold out your hand to everyone” foreign policy is going to be a catastrophe. They’ll love it in Europe. They’re probably laughing their heads off about it in the middle east already.

2. The US hasn’t suffered a terrorist attack by al Qaeda since 9/11, but we’ll get at least one during Obama’s term.

3. We’re going to lose in Afghanistan.

4. Iran will get nuclear weapons. There will be nuclear war between Iran and Israel.

5. There will eventually be a press backlash against Obama which will make their treatment of Bush look mild. Partly that’s going to be because Obama is going to disappoint them just as much as all his other supporters. Partly it will be the MSM desperately trying to regain its own credibility, by trying to show that they’re not in his tank any longer.

6. Obama will not be re-elected in 2012.

7. The nation of Georgia is toast, Ukraine and Poland should be very, very concerned. The US will boycott the Olympic Games in protest of the occupation of these nations

8. Myself, along with the posse over at Flopping Aces are looking forward to his coming failures and will point out at every opportunity how his future comments regarding foreign policy are identical to President Bush’s.

9. Obama is NOT the Anti-Christ. The Anti-Christ has an actual plan and millions of years of experience to call upon. Obama the President can claim NONE of these qualities.

10. Change is not such a bad thing. Today I crossed over into the light, changing my party registration to Republican.

Four years of an Obama administration should provide much entertainment, in two short years, midterm elections will begin to turn this nation back from the precipice. In the meantime, life will go on, peace movements will have members charged with assault, winter soldiers will continue to smear the reputation of their fellow soldiers, and a new stronger conservative base will rise.

Vote Squad is on the Prowl

Vote Fraud Squad

Join my friend Caleb Howe as he documents the interesting events that unfurl today.

What is Vote Fraud Squad?


The Vote Fraud Squad is a non-partisan group blog that aims to provide information related to voter fraud across the country.


Oh, I discovered this morning as I was heading out to vote that some dipstick stole my “Another Dem for McCain” yardsign. I just put out another one and have many more in supply. Bring it.

UPDATE: Only in Philly: Black Pantherish Obama supporters brandishing nightsticks at polling center….Don’t question why he is carrying a weapon at a polling station!

Chris Hill, republican poll watcher, notified authorities to these punks trying to suppress the vote.

The MSM response via The Inquirer – blame the videographers.

West Chester Rally

Every time I gaze at our group shot, I see America at its finest; men and women of integrity who are the fabric of what is good and right in America. It gives me hope that we are not unique in that respect, that most American’s are made of the same stuff, and will make that known tomorrow by voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

WE ARE SHEEPDOGS!

Yo Pennsylvania!

Not that any of the green tea sipping denizens of Philadelphia would have a clue about Pennsylvania’s rich coal reserves. These statements stand as bellwether for other industries that do not conform to the Obamanation platform.

VOTE MCCAIN/PALIN

Vote for the Used Car Salesman…

H/T to my reader ADN:

Seriously, has Obama ever stood his ground on any position, outside of raising taxes on middle class America?
