SHAME ON CBS FOR PUTTING AN OBAMA PIECE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUPERBOWL PRE-GAME SHOW

This is crap... Today is for football..Not for Obama (with his new "no tie populist look") to tout his failed agenda.  This is nothing more than a paid political advertisement for Obama. 

COMPLAIN TO CBS

UPDATE: To Hell with the Plaxico Burris Story...who is next, Michael Vick???????????

Serious minded people have known about the "Climate Change" Fraud for Years

Looks more and more likely that Al Gore is going to have to refund his Nobel Prize money and give back his Oscar.  Read it and Weep.

Of course, regular readers of BloggyBayou have known it for since the Blog started last year!

BloggyBayou Makes The Case For The RPOF 20 February Elections

On February 20, 2010, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) will hold its quarterly meeting in Orlando. This meeting is the culmination of a very bitter, but needed, dispute on what path the RPOF will take as it tries to make itself relevant again in Florida Politics.

In 2008, Florida went Blue for Obama, but wow, what a difference a year makes. A Republican Governor who cynically assumed that Obama represented the political future quickly, and much to his regret later, literally hugged and supported Obama and his massive "stimulus" bill which has proven to be a total failure by any measure or definition. The result: A young political prodigy has done the unthinkable and now leads our incumbent governor in the race for the open U.S. Senate Seat.

On the down side, our party has been rocked by scandal which led to resignation of the House Speaker and eventually led to the resignation of our Party Chairman. And just as this is happening, a populist, grassroots movement is making itself felt in practically every county and is not afraid to tell both Democrats and Republicans to go to hell.

We Republicans are at a crossroads. Registered Republicans and local party activists feel that the officials they elect have lost touch with the them and all they see in return are stories of high living Pols who refuse to tell them how their donations are spent while local county organizations go begging for funds.

This is a fact. This must change.

There are two legitimate candidates for Chairman of the RPOF: Florida State Senator John Thrasher of Florida District 8 and Sharon Day, the Republican National Committeewoman from Broward County and Secretary of the Republican National Committee. Succinctly stated, Sen. Thrasher is the Establishment candidate while Committeewoman Day represents the frustrated grassroots.

I have criticized Sen. Thrasher in the past (See Here) and I stand by my post. I also thought his challenge to Ms. Day to see who could raise the most money in a specific period of time to be a crass and essentially superficial publicity stunt. However, two men I admire, one who I have met via Emails and another who I have NEVER met have endorsed Sen. Thrasher. Sid Dinerstein, Chairman of the Republican Party of Palm Beach County who provided me invaluable assistance with research on the recent "Bullet train" bill and how it will eventually be an financial albatross around necks of Floridians, has endorsed Senator Thrasher. In addition, Allen Cox, who sacrificed his post as vice chairman of the RPOF in to get Mr. Greer to agree to resign (and was very critical (and right!) about Jim Greer's handling of RPOF funds) has also endorsed Sen. Thrasher. These two men feel that the Senator is our best choice we currently have. (And before you point it out to me, I know Sen. Thrasher has donated to Democrats in the past, including Allen Boyd, the Florida "Blue Dog" Democrat and who should be target #1 for the GOP in 2010). Also, there are serious questions of the legality of Sen. Thrasher's ability to raise funds while the Senate is in session. (I'll leave that one to the lawyers).

On the other hand, Committeewoman Day has been endorsed by a wide array of Grassroot activists and Republican activists, including Barbara Wall, my own county GOP Chairwoman. Sharon Day has an impressive GOP resume and has made more grassroots involvement in State Party affairs a cornerstone of her campaign. The knock on her is that she has full plate a far as GOP politics go (She is Secretary of the Republican National Committee, a very important position that does require a lot of work.)

Tell The Republicans in Congress to Vote NO on More Stimulus

This is a "Gut Check" Moment for the GOP. 

With the election of Scott Brown, the GOP can stop the newly proposed Democratic Stimulus bill from being enacted. PERIOD. If the GOP FAILS TO DO THIS, our party will have demonstrated that they are totally "tone deaf" to their own grassroots and base and more importantly, demonstrated to the rising tide of angry independents and alienated conservatives that the GOP has yet to learn the need for fiscal discipline.  You can start to kiss any support from the Tea Parties goodbye.

Call/Email/Shout form the rooftops to ALL THE NATIONAL GOP.  NO MORE SPENDING.

This is, simply put, a test for the GOP and it is a PASS/FAIL exam.

Game, Set, Match on the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

The Indian government has moved to establish its own body to address and monitor science surrounding climate change, saying it "cannot rely" on the official United Nation panel.

It is time for the U.S. To do the same. Call your Congressman and Senator. Stop the mixing of Political Dogma, Faith and Science. The United Nations is a corrupt instrument for the Have Nots to steal from the Haves. 

Also time for all the Global Warming People (aka "nuts") to return to their Roots of the Seventies...I predict Global Cooling will now regain its rightful place as the "Loony Lefts" cause of the day.... How "Groovy"....

Al Gore: Time to return the Nobel Prize Money and the Oscar.....

The Main Stream Media at it's VERY BEST

I soooooo Trust Katie Couric  ../s off

That sound you hear is the combined rumblings of Edward R. Murrow, Eric Severaid, William L. Shirer and Elmer Davis rolling over in their graves....

Hong Kong Shares Tumble After U.S. Losses

Asia Shares Slump, Nikkei at 7-Week Lows

To all My readers: I'll be posting on the upcoming race for Chairman and Vice Chairman of the RPOF this weekend!

The Vote is on 20 February and I see it as an opportunity to retune our party to more grassroots support (and by that I mean making it a two way street).

Still: To win elections, you need money...that's a fact... It will be an interesting high wire act by yours truly.

Not a Good Sign When your State Capitol Considers Bankruptcy as a "Viable" Option

From the article:

"Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, will consider Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection along with tax increases and asset sales as options to address $68 million in debt service payments due this year, the chairwoman of a City Council committee said last night."

Sign of the times.... I would have thought the Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA) could gotten his hands on some of that free money Obama and Congress spent in "Porkulus"....

I strongly recommend ALL REAL Republicans Download the MP3 linked to in the above post and listen to the whole thing. This is a master of the English language at his finest…

Remember: The People in power in the White House and in charge of the DNC are products of Chicago Thug Machine Politics. Their idea of Political discourse is to crush the opposition, using any means fair or foul, PERIOD.

Our Ideas and our determination to DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN and to STOP THE FISCAL INSANITY must guide our actions. We must plant our feet in the sand and in 2010 we say to these political thugs: "Here We Make a Stand"

Another Great YouTube Political Ad

FCINO!!!!  and a Demon Wolf with Terminator Eyes. This is why I love the Internet!!

To All of the GOP Party Members who Helped get Jim Greer Fired, I Say Thank You

And to all of you GOP Members who said getting rid of Greer was a bad idea in the middle of the election year, I say I told you so...

Now, for our Party Reps, County Chairmen and members of the legislature, finish the job on 20 February 2010 and lets focus like lasers on getting a GOP U.S. Senator Elected and taking away at least one congressional seat  (hint hint Florida District 2) while keeping all our own in the GOP fold.

Whoever gets elected on February 20th, 2010... I encourage ALL Republicans to rally around the new management and then make POLITICAL WAR on the Democrats.

I am not a Kumbaya type of guy.....

Rubio versus Crist on Census

Crist is wanting to count illegal immigrants and Rubio says count only legal residents of the U.S. Just another reason to vote for Rubio on 24 August and in November. It is about standing on one's principles vice grasping for citizens tax dollars.

Marco Rubio has Taken Control in the Race for the GOP Nomination For US Senator

Folks, I usually mail you about issues and I have never mailed you about raising funds for conservatives. I am going to make an exception because there is a political earthquake happening in Florida.

The big news is that in a poll Marco Rubio is leading Gov. Charlie Crist 49%-37%. What was once unthinkable has now become doable.... The election of a real conservative as United States Senator from Florida.

However, now IS NOT the time to take a break or assume the race is over. Already, Main Stream Media outlets, both in print and on TV are starting to attack Speaker Rubio. They know that despite their own leftist outlook, 2010 is shaping up to be a Republican year. If that is the case, they want elected a Republican who is willing to compromise his principles for some fast money. In other words, If they can't get a Democrat elected, Charlie Crist is the next best thing.

Now is the time to show the MSM and Obama left that bedrock conservatives will not be intimidated or mislead by biased newspaper reports and editorials. It's time for a "Money Bomb" for Marco Rubio.

A "Money Bomb" is a intense, time-limited push for donations, even if it is a few bucks, from grassroots Republicans and like minded independents to a candidate that has a darn good chance of taking the seat in question and making it a seat that will oppose the Obama and left's agenda.  This "Money Bomb" concept was done with great results in Scott Brown's run in Massachusetts and provided critical funding that enabled him, a Republican, to win what was formerly known as the Ted Kennedy seat. That one effort alone quite probably stopped the passage of Obamacare.

We can have the same type of impact with a "Money Bomb" for Marco Rubio. With the release of the latest polls showing him pulling ahead of Crist, a massive coordinated effort has been made to both smear and demean the Speaker, both as a man and as a public servant. This is no accident and I strongly suspect the Crist campaign is behind much of these efforts.

If Marco does not have the funds to actively defend himself and spread the word of conservative values....Then there is a more than even chance that Charlie Crist will stage a comeback. Already Governor Crist has shown a willingness to work with and for President Obama's radical agenda. That does not bode well for America's future because we can't afford to have a "RINO" as our Senator from Florida. For those of you that live outside of Florida, believe me on this: If you look up "RINO" in the dictionary, you will find Charlie Crist's picture.

Speaker Rubio has dubbed his effort a "Stimulus Bomb" to mark the anniversary President Obama's trip to Florida and Charlie Crist's endorsement of Obama's wasteful stimulus (aka "Porkulus") bill.

A year ago, everyone said Charlie Crist, the ultimate mushy middle Republican was the only one who could win the U.S. Senate Seat for the Republicans. I am proud of the fact that I was one of the first to say Marco Rubio not only could, but would win. Now a real conservative leads both Crist and the Democrat in the race by double digits. Your generous donation will help ensure Marco Rubio WINS by double digits this November.

Iran is on Fire and Now It Has Finally Gotten the Obama's Administration's Attention

Iran is in the middle of an economic and political meltdown. Their economy under the Mullahs and Ahmadinejad has resulted in a society tittering on the edge of collapse. The regime has resorted to outright execution of political dissidents and violence is on the upswing. Both the Mullahs and Ahmadinejad know that they are in trouble and looks increasingly like they are going to use one of the oldest tricks in the book to weather the storm. Create an international incident to divert the people's energies and revive nationalistic fever amongst large segments of the population. The Urban elites and students of Tehran won't fall for it, but the vast masses outside the capitol probably (?) will. The 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution is from Feb.1-11 and expect Ahmadinejad to use it as an excuse to crack down on dissidents in order not to disrupt "celebrations".

The Obama administration is finally taking the situation in Iran seriously. Obama probably had a "Come to Jesus" meeting with his Intelligence and Military leads....He was probably told if Iran successfully pulls off a major international stunt (sets off a Nuke, shoots a missile at Israel, closes the Straits of Hormuz or unleashes its forces in Lebanon and Gaza or any combination of the above) the price of Oil will skyrocket and the U.S., already on shaky economic ground, will plunge into recession or even worse. News outlets are reporting everywhere tonight that the U.S. is increasing its Patriot missile presence in the Gulf. The source of the information are (intentional) leaks from the U.S. Government and are no doubt meant to be a warning to Iran as well as handholding on our part for Arab Allies (?).

Bottom Line: Something seems to be in the air with regards to Iran and things may be getting tense during February. Tomorrow will be the tell of the tape...If Oil prices begin to spike up, then it means something is spooking the markets and that spooking is coming from an increasingly unstable Iran.

If New York Comes Begging For Federal Money to Bail Them out...Say No and Point Them to This Story

When I read this story, the only thing I can think of is this is what you get when the Union runs things...

If this creep votes, I bet he voted for Obama....

Now THIS is A Political Ad!

Only in New Orleans....

Global Warming: We are Throwing Our Tax Dollars Down a Rathole Again

Fact: Man-Made Global warming is a farce.  Europe and the rest of the World's press are picking up on this fact.  The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has proven to be a political based organization and not a scientific based one.  It, along with Al Gore should return their Nobel Prize.

American Thinker has all the ugly details.

Republicans should be all over this.  This is a HAMMER that we can use to bludgeon the left and the Democrats.

When Politicians Lose Touch With Their Constituents

Here is a link to a series of Emails I had with my Congressman, Jeff Miller (R-FL), District 1. Well, let's be honest...It was probably a series of Emails I had with Mr. Miller's staff. Considering the amount of mail and Email that comes in, it is a necessary fact that practically all Congressmen use their staff to compose and write the vast bulk of their correspondence when dealing with small fry like myself.

The issue was the recent granting of complete diplomatic immunity to INTERPOL. With the mounting action of grassroots activism on the importance of 10th Amendment rights and limiting the encroachment of the Federal Government into local affairs, I felt that this diminishment of U.S. sovereignty was also an area of concern and I wrote an Email to Congressman Miller to express my displeasure. (For background, here is a link to National Review's Andrew McCarthy's take on the issue)

To my complete surprise, I get a response back from our Congressman and in effect, he says no big deal. And in addition he states:

"With all the flawed policies and misguided priorities of this administration, it is pointless to create or spread misinformation and half-truths about President Obama's policies and decisions. Doing so undermines the credibility of conservatives and distracts from the real challenges we face as we work to stop government run health care, cap and trade and reckless spending."

I disagreed with the Congressman's assessment and responded with another Email. I especially took exception with the above paragraph and stated:

"This paragraph was insulting as it was unnecessary. It's oblique insinuation that by raising questions about Presidents signing of executive order is somehow the province of right-wing loons or such ilk and that by asking you, my representative, if this is an area of concern is both a waste of your time and silly. You or your staff have insulted someone who has supported you in the past. Bad move."

Mr. Miller responded with another Email and when I read it, it dawned on me that my Congressman just didn't get it or that he (or his staff) really didn't put an real effort into his response. It is disheartening to realize that the man who is your voice in Congress isn't the sharpest kid on the block or he has surrounded himself with some really mediocre people.

TARP: Another one on the Horizon?

Here is the analysis of Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the trouble asset relief program. bottom line, TARP was supposed to buy up all that bad mortgages. What it went to instead was the pockets of the big financials to keep them afloat. ALL THE BAD MORTGAGES are still out there and we are still waiting for the commercial real estate crisis to occur. Banks are failing every week (they announce the failures at 5:00 PM on Fridays so no one will notice) and many banks are still showing bad mortgages at full price on the books, afraid to close them out because it will show that the bank is in reality, underwater.


Sooner or later, the bill is going to come true. Another bailout will only exacerbate the issue. In free market system, sometimes you fail. the sooner the pain comes, the quicker we can start a real recovery. Pain... It is part of the healing process and trying to dodge it just will make you sicker in the long run.
