Will Hillary Step Up To Challenge Obama?

Speculation runs rampant that Obama resign shortly….say by January? If his numbers continue to slide and they will as the economy is hitting everyone in the United States with cross punches that really, really hurt, the Dems will start to put pressure on him to do so.

They don’t want to lose congress after holding it for the last 5 years. They love that power!  In the house, Nancy wants once again to hold that speaker’s seat and will refurbish the jet she once had as a perk and Harry loves telling other senators what to do and when to do it.

But really, have you ever wondered who takes the place of Obama if his numbers and support continue to decline? According to recent polling, 89% of the country thinks it is headed in the wrong direction.

Consider that his campaign is in full swing while he uses taxpayer resources to continue to run around the country making speeches and watches as Rome burns. He observes from the sidelines as Americans suffer from his disinterest in improving the economy. As a result, Obama’s numbers continue to slide and there is only one person who has the moxy, ground game, money, and popularity to run against him or to step up if he resigns – Hillary Clinton.

None in congress will have time to get a campaign together or are well enough liked to campaign for the White House gold ring – and those who have the money to run a campaign are generally unknown. So who is left?

In the last election Americans voted against Bush rather than for Obama and this election will be of the same nature – voting against the incumbent, not for a Republican. So what is to lose if Hillary runs? She enjoys a 62% popularity rating in the polls and has her hubby behind her who is also liked. IF she isn’t elected, what does she lose? She slides into retirement savoring the fact that she actually “beat” Obama at his own game.
But can she win? She is as much a pathological liar as he is and that was clearly proven with her outrageous story of being shot at by Bosnian snipers as she deplaned in that country – while little girls were standing on the tarmac with flowers to greet her! Conservative talk show media will raise the travelgate scandal as she was heavily involved in it and cite her record as secretary of state which is almost non-existent – Palestine still fights with Isreal and Libya is controlled by rebels we support and yet know nothing about.

She doesn’t have negotiation skills nor a government who stands strong as to what is believed so would she make a good president? Many liberal Democrats think so.

Consider the following:
Her husband, Bill has written a new book about putting America to work – that comes out in November. The success of that will accrue to her. She will parrot his ideas – good or bad.
He wants her to be president so he can once again be president. You can bet that he will be her “senior advisor” and take center stage in the White house. Back when, he said that she was “One of the brightest people of her generation.” Oh yeah baby! She stood behind her man when he philandered so now its tit for tat in their household.

He has recently come out and criticized Obama’s jobs and tax proposals as “confusing.” A first grader would call it “Poo Poo” which is a better description. His old advisor and consultant, James Carville is also out stumping about Obama’s failure and his chances of winning. Carville doesn’t do this unless the Clintons tell him to do so. It doesn’t do Bill any good for himself as he can’t run again, but it does wonders for Hillary and her chances to be the Democratic nominee come January or February.

Hillary has spent time this past three years getting some “bona fides” that will stand up as a claim to her competency – she is Secretary of State. As state Senator from NY and a former first lady, she had enough in liberal minds to be named as Secretary and with her current position, those same liberal voters will blindly push the button next to her name.

Obama is battling for his political life and if the economy does not turn around, he will not win in November – Americans will punish him for not having the sense to do what is needed.

They already see the results of his fecklessness, his inexperience, and his ego. So who is waiting in the wings? Hillary!

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate voted Wednesday night to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers after discovering a way to bypass the chamber’s missing Democrats.

All 14 Senate Democrats fled to Illinois nearly three weeks ago, preventing the chamber from having enough members present to consider Gov. Scott Walker’s so-called “budget repair bill” – a proposal introduced to plug a $137 million budget shortfall.

The Senate requires a quorum to take up any measures that spend money. But Republicans on Wednesday split from the legislation the proposal to curtail union rights, which spends no money, and a special conference committee of state lawmakers approved the bill a short time later.

Can you imagine this happening at a Tea Party rally?  Neither can I.  But, if it could, I can imagine the reaction of the lame stream media.   I’ve been to many, many Tea Party and other Conservative grassroots rallies and have never seen anything like this.  In fact, I’ve seen the complete opposite.  Because of time needed to set up and take down Tea Party Brewing’s booth, I am often one of the first to arrive and the last to leave.  When these rallies are over, the places where they are held are void of any sign that anyone’s been there.  The trash cans, not the venues where the events are held, are full of trash.  In true form, attendees at these rallies practice what they preach, INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY, and clean up after themselves.  They do no make a mess and then expect someone else to clean up it up or expect others, taxpayers in this case, to pay for it.

Go forth BOLDLY and spread the TRUTH.  Do your part in helping to WAKE UP AMERICA!

Somewhere, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is grinning past his cigarette holder at Wisconsin’s governor. They are on the same page regarding government unions.

Except that Scott Walker — Republican cheapskate, his visage Hitlerized on signs waved by beet-faced union crowds besieging the Capitol — is kind of a liberal squish compared to FDR. He’s OK with some collective bargaining.

Walker, you might have heard, wants some changes in how Wisconsin deals with unions. He wants state employees to pay 5.8% of their salaries toward their pensions (they pay almost nothing now) and he wants them to cover 12.6% of their health care premiums (their share would go up from $79 a month to about $200; the average private-sector sap pays about $330).

In New York City, the No. 2 guy in the fire department retired on a pension worth $242,000 a year. In New York State, a single official holding two jobs and one pension took in $641,000. A lieutenant with the Port Authority police retired with an annual pension of $196,767, and 738 of the city’s teachers, principals and such have pensions worth more than $100,000 a year.

Below is a copy of a most excellent memo from GOP Chair Dick Wadhams that was sent out yesterday.  If you have not read it, please do.  The only thing I take issue with is the failure to acknowledge that we all should take responsibility for failing to properly vet our candidates.  This is the responsibility of all of us, including the Party, in my opinion.  I am contemplating creating a course to teach all the tips, tricks, and tools for vetting candidates.  Just as important, is information contained in a copy of a blog below, written by former Douglas County GOP Chair, John Ransom on the GOP bylaws.

Some of you hold a duly elected position within your County GOP.  Unless you resign your position willingly, you must be voted out.  NOBODY can force you out or demand you resign your position!  If you are being intimidated, receiving threats or feel like you are being harassed, you should report that immediately to a trusted authority or media outlet.  You can do so anonymously.  Threats from leadership are an abuse of power and harassment is- as defined in CRS – a violation of Colorado law.  Remember, your vote is your sacred RIGHT, your free choice, and is your private business.

Following this is a copy of an actual letter written in response to some inappropriate GOP leadership behavior.  Such behavior is reprehensible in my opinion and needs to be exposed.  Kudos to Tory for his most articulate and appropriate response.  Anybody experiencing such abuse should act accordingly, knowing what you do now about GOP by-laws.

Finally, if you don’t know already, each county has their own set of by-laws.  Read yours and learn them.

Fantastic job, Don, at www.thebusinessword.com.  Note the perfectly written blog:   http://www.businessword.com/index.php/weblog/comments/4137

Please share with your users and groups across the country.  We, the new conservative base, Tea Party Patriots, and 912ers, need this posted on as many web pages, blogs, twitter feeds, and facebook pages as possible.  Also please link to www.tancredoforgovernor.org and request donations (there is a $525 max contribution per person).  Tom Tancredo needs some more $$ to keep his TV and Radio campaigns going; he is very close to his goal.  As Glenn Spencer has so beautifully put it on the American Patrol’s web site (http://www.americanpatrol.com/), “Colorado’s Choice:  La Raza or America”

Dan Maes has not exactly endorsed Tom Tancredo, YET, but I am getting this out there and I bet he will in the next day or two.  Yesterday, it was announced that Maes talked to Tancredo about dropping out; see http://www.completecolorado.com/ or http://tinyurl.com/2crmf7s for the original audio of a radio interview with Tom.  THE HEAT IS ON!
