Finally, we have a resolution...maybe it'll end soon!!!! (let's hope!!!)

The DRBC has finally decided to award FL and MI all of their delegates, with half a vote each. I think this is good, but it gets deeper: the FL delegates are awarded on the basis of the January Primary(this pleased Clintonites, Obamaniacs weren't upset) and the MI delegates were apportioned with Clinton getting 69 to Obama's 59. Of course the Clintonites were upset, and she reserved her right to appeal to the DNC Credentials Committee, but they don't meet until the Convention in Denver in August. I hope it doesn't go that far, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Today, Clinton wiped the floor with Obama in Puerto Rico, but I really don't care what they think, they aren't able to vote in the general election(thank GOD!!! They are constantly electing Republicans!!!!) she won with over 60% of the vote with 93% of precincts reporting. I cannot wait until Wednesday, there will be no more primaries...only the superdelegates to decide who they want. Prayerfully they will do it sooner rather than later...b/c at this point, i don't even care who the nominee is as long as it isn't Mike Gravel...he's as crazy as a pet 'Coon!!!

Obama left Trinity, and it's about time...but he left about twenty years too late!!! I hope I get to meet him this summer...I doubt that I will, but he does have interns thorough the CBC, so maybe I'll get a chance. I hope him being a member of the CBC isn't gonna come back and bite him in the butt!!! he might wanna drop out now, that way folks don't misconstrue his membership...I would understand him withdrawing...he's trying to offend as few people as possible...and we are a very understanding people(when we wanna be!!!)

Let's resolve this please!!!

On Saturday, May 31, 2008, The Democratic Party Rules and Bylaws Committee(DRBC) will meet to decide the fate of the delegations from Michigan and Florida to the Democratic National Presidential Nominating Convention. The lawyers for the Democratic National Committee(DNC) have come to the conclusion that the DRBC can only seat half of the delegations. The DRBC is, however, free to decide whether they want to seat the whole delegation with 1/2 votes, or just half of the delegates. The DRBC is also at liberty to decide about the votes of the FL & MI Superdelegates: Whether the Superdelegates get their votes as a whole group, or if they will only have half their number present(at least that's what I think I heard and read). I also believe that the DRBC decides in what proportion the delegates will be apportioned to the candidates.

Also: A Florida court threw out a lawsuit Wednesday challenging the Democratic Party's decision not to seat delegates from Florida -- as litigants prepared to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Political consultant Victor DiMaio and his lawyer Michael Steinberg had compared the party's decision to earlier prohibitions against allowing African-Americans to vote and invoked the trauma of the Florida recount in the 2000 contest between Al Gore and George W. Bush, both arguments also used by Hillary Clinton to support the seating of the state's delegates.
...
Judge Richard Lazarra sided with the party, saying political parties have the right to make their own rules.(the article can be found here)

I am going to try to get into the DRBC meeting, it is open to the public, but there are only day of credentials left, so I will be up early Saturday morning to get there and get a first hand view of the meeting outcome. That way I can know that what I'm writing is actually factual and not speculation.

Poor Old Michigan...Why Kick Them When They're Down

I'm really pissed at the way the two national parties(GOP & DNC) are treating Michigan! The Democrats stripped the Michiganders of their delegates to the DNC, all because the moved up the date of their primary. If the leaders of the Democratic Party had any sense, they would have left all of the delegates (that way the Michiganders would look at the DNC as a party that cares about them). These idiots stripped away the delegates and all of the candidates, except for Mrs. Clinton, have pulled their names from the ballots...way to give a state to the GOP!!! I sincerely hope that the Michiganders don't give themselves over to the GOP (Group Of Pricks), because they also stripped delegates, but at least they still retain half of them. And all of the GOP Candidates that are mattering at this point are on the ballots...Thanks Gov. Dean...you and your acolytes are complete nut-jobs!!!

I am really going to have to pray for the entire State of Michigan. Mighigan has been in a one-State depression for quite some time, 7 straight years of job loss (450,000 jobs), an unemployment rate of 7.4% (higher than the fed rate of 5.0%), an eroding tax base, and an education system that is in a downward spiral. These problems are cyclical, with the exporting of the majority of Manufacturing jobs (thanks to the numerous free trade agreements put into affect by this Bush Administration and the Rubber Stamp that is Congress), the middle-class tax base is shrinking, thereby reducing available funds for education and other social services. As education deteriorates, the young people entering the workforce will be even less qualified to work in industries that pay well, thereby further reducing the tax base and creating an ever declining education system. And with the influx of Illegal immigrants into this country the few available, low-paying jobs won't be given to US citizens...why pay US citizens minimum wage when you can pay others lower wages??? Again, Thanks Guys!! Way to begin the process of sending our country to Hell in a Handbasket!! Please watch the following video of Gov. Granholm, she has such a long haul ahead of her, pray for her!!



WTF Awards:
McKenzie School District Superintendent Sally Storm, "My duty is to follow the law in this case - the U.S. Constitution - which doesn't allow public schools to either interfere with the practice of religion or establish a religious practice," she said. The Motto nixed all references to God, and read as follows: "They that believe shall mount up with wings as eagles." Okay, we complain about the ultra-conservative, Ultra-religious...but what about the extreme secularists?? Come on people, we can do so much better!!! Aren't there bigger fish to fry??

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s administration, drawing up plans for a two-tiered licensing system that would issue different driver’s licenses to undocumented aliens and legal residents. Undocumented immigrants would have to prove only that they live in Maryland, but they would not be able to use their licenses to board airplanes, enter federal buildings or cross borders, the Washington Post reports. Taken from freerepublic, click here for more info.

Democratic National Committee, the DNC has stripped both Michigan and Florida of their delegates to the the Democratic National Convention, which will be held at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado August 25-28, 2008. These folks stripped the states of all delegates, while the GOP(Group of Pricks) only stripped 50%, leaving in place some incentive for the voters to participate in the elections on the side of the GOP(Group of Pricks).

Kudos to
New York State Association of County Clerks, for opposing the plan by New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer to give licenses to illegal immigrants. ( I know this is from October, but I thought it was relevant to bring up since MD is going down that same path!!)

Really?? Makes Me Wonder If They're Really Thinking!

Okay folks, I was watching Lou Dobbs Tonight again. I just have to point out that he and I are on the exact same wave length (as far as politics, anyway). So today I'm gonna rant about the Real ID Act, which would make it (virtually) impossible for illegals to get driver's Licenses. I don't really understand how our representatives minds work, this law will not be implemented for another 9 (yes, nine) years--thats 16 years after September 11, 2001. I mean this law is supposed to keep illegals from boarding planes, which is how they ran into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. I mean seriously, is there any clearer example of dereliction of duty?? Driver's licenses to illegal immigrants?? I don't understand how ILLIEGAL immigrants can be entitled to the same rights as I, a citizen of this country. I pay taxes, I perform community service, I obey laws and know how to drive. But someone that breaks the law is entitled to the EXACT same right as me?? Come on CONGRESS!!!! Why are you pandering to people who don't even have the right to vote??? I mean dang, can I get some consideration?? I vote and pay taxes, you should care what I think!! Enough about that..it'll just make me have a heart attack.

Okay starting now there are gonna be two awards given out in every (almost) new post. I will be giving Kudos to some politician that is doing the job they were hired for, and the WTF?? award to a politician that really can't be thinking straight. So for the inauguration of the awards I give you:
Kudos to Mike Cox the Attorney General of Michigan. Mr. Cox said the smartest thing I've heard in this debate over whehter or not ILLIEGAL immigrants are entitled to driver's licenses. He asked how people who aren't legal residents of the United States be legal residents of Michigan, and using sound reasoning, came to the conclusion that it's impossible and that they are therefore not entitled to Driver's Licenses! Hooray!! Someone with sense!!!

Kudos go out to Frank Jackson, the Mayor of Cleveland, OH. Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson is suing Wall Street over the U.S. economy-threatening subprime lending crisis. Jackson, a Democrat, filed his suit against 21 banks in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, naming venerable institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo for creating a public nuisance. The mayor contends the companies irresponsibly bought and sold high-interest home loans to people who had "no realistic means of keeping up with their loan payments," resulting in widespread defaults that depleted the city's tax base and left entire neighborhoods in ruins, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reported. City officials hope to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, including lost taxes from devalued property and money spent tearing down or boarding up thousands of abandoned houses. "To me, this is no different than organized crime or drugs," Jackson said in an interview with Plain Dealer reporters and editors. "It has the same effect as drug activity in neighborhoods. It's a form of organized crime that happens to be legal in many respects." (this was taken from http://www.politicalgateway.com/news/read/124315)

WTF?? to Hillary Clinton, Senator from New York, and Democratic Presidential Candidate. Mrs. Clinton was heard to tell a crowd that there are no illegal women, and no illegal men, either. Now I wonder what she means?? does she mean that people who have crossed the border into our country without proper permissions are here legally?? does she mean that anyone who harbors a desire to live here can come here with no consequences?? I just don't understand!! Pardon me Mrs. Clinton, but would you mind answering this Question?? WTF do you mean?? I would love to hear from you!

In other News, I will be in South Carolina on Saturday to canvass for Barack Obama, in his quest for the Presidency. I defintely need to request my ballot form Missouri, so that I can vote for him. I would prefer John Edwards, but I'll take who I think would be the second best.
