Friday, April 9th, 2004Quite an amazing feat was announced today at Blogs For Bush. Over 400 pro-Bush bloggers are signed up on the Blogroll For Bush.
5 months ago, when Blogs For Bush was launched, probably very few people would have predicted such rapid success. Well, we challenged the stereotype that the blogosphere was liberal. Mazel tov to all the pro-Bush bloggers on the Blogroll For Bush!!!
Behind Closed Doors?
Thursday, April 8th, 2004So what gives? A whole bunch of commotion is made over Condi Rice testifying in public and under oath, and today she does, doing a fabulous job, and then tucked away from the public eye, was Bill Clinton who also testified… behind closed doors…
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton testified behind closed doors to the national commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on Thursday, the panel said.
“The commission found the former president forthcoming and responsive to its questions. We appreciate the excellent cooperation he and his associates have given to us,” the commission said in a brief statement.
Clinton appeared before the panel in closed session shortly after White House national security adviser Condoleezza Rice testified at an open hearing.
President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are also expected to testify together in a private meeting with the commission. The date of that session was not known.
Why isn’t Clinton out in the public eye during his testimony? I want to know why he sat on his ass with he legs spread for 4 years while the World Trade Center gets bombed, as well as our embassies in Africa, and the U.S.S. Cole.
I want to know why doing nothing was an “effective counterterrorism strategy.” I want the answers from Slick Willy. I want him held accountable for his statements to the commission. Make him testify in public! Make him testify under oath!
Where’s the uproar from the people who were pulling for Condi’s public testimony? Shouldn’t they be up in arms right now? Why isn’t the media jumping on top of this story?
I Guess To Some Degree They Were Right
Thursday, April 8th, 2004For quite a few years now, various people have told me I’d run for office one day. I really just dismissed it - considering if I had a choice to either be a Senator, a Congressman, or some other elected official or perhaps have my own radio show like I did in college and talk politics, I’d rather do the latter.
Last night I went to the Republican City Committee of my hometown. It was suggested to me by newly elected Republican State Committee member John Racho that I should go.
Hey, why not? It’s about time I get more involved in local politics…
During this meeting, elections were held to pick new Republican City Committee members and Ward Committee members. To make a long story short, I ended up being elected Secretary of my Ward.
How about that?
Well, I guess all those people might be right… Perhaps this is merely a stepping stone for some future calling. Who knows?
It’s Wictory Wednesday
Wednesday, April 7th, 2004John Kerry raised over $50 million in the first quarter of this year. That’s a record. He raised $26 million of it over the Internet, another record. All that money is going to be spent on ads bashing President Bush in swing states. In fact, Kerry and shadowy liberal groups funded by limousine liberals like George Soros will outspend President Bush.
Today is Wictory Wednesday. Every Wednesday, dozens of bloggers ask their readers to volunteer and/or donate to the Bush 2004 campaign.
If you’re a blogger, you can join Wictory Wednesdays simply by putting up a post like this one every Wednesday, asking your readers to volunteer and/or donate to the Bush campaign.

I’ve Lived 24 Years in Massachusetts And All I Got is Two Lousy Senators
Monday, April 5th, 2004My other Senator Ted Kennedy, would do himself good to keep his mouth on the bottle of Chivas rather than open his fat trap:
“The administration’s only economic policy is more and more tax cuts for the wealthy. What [President Bush] doesn’t mention is larger and larger budget deficits, the largest in our history, mind-boggling budget deficits that make Democrats look like budget balancers,” Kennedy, D-Mass., told an audience at the Brookings Institution
You could laugh yourself off a bridge after hearing Kennedy mumble those words… His own brother cut taxes for “the wealthy,” - why don’t we hear him talk about that?
ocusing on an array of domestic issues that Kennedy said will add to the deficit, the senior senator from Massachusetts blasted the administration for misleading the public by cutting unemployment benefits and failing to pay for the No Child Left Behind education overhaul.
Blah, blah, blah… Every time I hear that NCLB was “underfunded” it just gets more and more ridiculous… Whomever started that meme must think they’re hot stuff today, because Ted Kennedy, who Bush reached out to when crafting NCLB has been drinking that myth down faster than his Chivas.
“This president has now created the largest credibility gap since Richard Nixon. He has broken the basic bond of trust with the American people. He’s the problem, not the solution. Iraq is George Bush’s Vietnam, and this country needs a new president,” he said.
Democrats plan to hammer away for the next seven months on the president’s so-called “credibility gap” but a new poll indicates that voters have more doubts about Kerry comments. [emphasis added]
Ha! So much for Bush’s credibility gap… Looks like Kerry has some issues to work out on his real credibility gap. Bush’s credibility is doing just fine. His tax cuts fixed the economy. He got NCLB passed, funded, and it’s working.
I have to say, between John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, I just have a couple of lousy Senators.
New Carnival of the Bush Bloggers
Monday, April 5th, 2004The eighth edition of the Carnival of the Bush Bloggers is out. Some good stuff out there being written by pro-Bush bloggers, I hope I can read them all…
Politicizing Race and Religion at the Same Time?
Sunday, April 4th, 2004So John Kerry made his first public appearance since his “shoulder surgery” today. It’s funny how he chose a church on a Sunday morning to come out from hiding…
John Kerry waved a palm with his left hand during Sunday church service as the Democratic presidential candidate made his first public appearance since having surgery to on his right shoulder.
Kerry, a Massachusetts senator, did not speak to the congregation at Charles Street AME Church, but the Rev. Gregory Groover recognized him from the pulpit as “the next president of the United States.”
It’s also quite interesting that he chose a black church.
The Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church is fairly well known in Boston, it has quite a bit of history. But nevertheless, John Kerry, who calls himself Catholic, seemed to make a very calculated choice of time and place to reemerge.
I think it’s pretty sad that Kerry is trying to use his religion to appeal to voters. After 3 years of hearing Democrats and liberals go ape over Bush’s faith, I find it very curious Kerry is suddenly popping up in church.
That whole mess about him wanting to be the “second black president” clearly didn’t work for him, so now, he has to make more subtle gestures, like picking a black congregation to give him that warm fuzzy feeling that he’s good for the black community.
It would have been more convincing if he went to the church he’s a member of in Boston. I don’t know if he regularly attends church or not - it would certainly be interesting to compare his church attendence since he started his campaign vs. the rest of his tenure in the Senate.
“We’re thankful that there’s going to be a revolution in this country,” Groover said. “A new day has occurred, a new movement. And so we praise God for the president. And we say God, bring him on.”
I praise God for the president too. President Bush that is. A real man of faith. A man who hasn’t backed down from showing his faith despite criticism from the same party which Kerry hails from.
I missed the memo that said Democrats can exploit their religion for politcal purposes but conservatives who shown any sign of faith are religious zealots, and we get barraged with the “separation of church and state” fiasco.
Meanwhile, John Kerry pops up in a black church and no one thinks anything of it - but George W. Bush or another Republican can’t associate with the black community without being accused of trying to “cater to the black vote.”
So sad.
It would have been a real doozy if he actually spoke at the Church this morning. But I guess he will just be taking baby steps to try and earn that “second black president” label.
