Fiscal responsibility double standards on Obama and Palin

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

I had an epiphany, lately, on a double standard about Obama and Palin.

One of Gov. Palin's strongest points in the VP debate was her stressing of fiscal responsibility. She proved it, as she sold the private jet and decided not to take her pay raise, post-election (she said she didn't earn the money, since she was busy with the campaign). If you want to argue the RNC clothes wankery, fine, but she made her point.*

Meanwhile, Obama, in his press conference yesterday, is stressing on fiscal responsibility. That's good, except, well, he apparently has an aversion to paying his bills.

Interesting double standard, yes?

*I heard something about her not paying taxes. I don't know the full story, so could someone fill me in? As HT.com jabbed, "it makes her qualified to be in Obama's cabinet."

Machosauce: Fairness Doctrine, Stimulus package, and monkeys.

What do you do?

Okay, so I became a supporter of Sarah Palin over on FaceBook. This morning, one of my "friends" felt the compulsion to comment on my action saying "dude you know i love you but sarah palin is a freaking nutcase." W...T...F? Why on earth do these people feel the need to personally police everything we do? Why can't people just leave it be? I know this friend didn't vote for Obama, which is good, buy why does she want to foster animosity between us by badgering Palin? I say nothing to her about her feelings toward anything remotely political. I just feel it was uncalled for. I simply said sorry, I wasn't going to discuss it with her, but is that the right thing? There is a fine line between sticking up for yourself and sounding as crazy as them, so how do you handle things like this? Is it time for us to start going medieval on them?

I meant to post this yesterday but I lost track of time. Yesterday morning I had the Today Show on in my bedroom while brushing my teeth in the bathroom, and all of the sudden I hear an epic attack on Matt Lauer. This guy is railing against Matt, saying things such as, "You people loved up Obama in here all through the campaign!" and "You can not sit here and lie to me and say that you honestly believe Sarah Palin is an idiot- I know you don't believe that, but you upped the perception of that, don't lie to me!" Stunned (tooth brush still in mouth), I walked into the bedroom to watch this. I hadn't ever seen a journalist come out against Liberal news media quite this strongly before, and quite frankly: it thrilled me. You guys might have seen this before, but this guy, John Ziegler, is making a documentary about "How Obama Got Elected and How Sarah Palin was Targeted." Personally, I think what happened to Mrs. Palin was a political witch hunt, so I'm very excited to see this type of journalism.

The Right’s ‘Michael Moore’—but With Facts

By Andrew Buttaro, Assistant Editor for Townhall.com

John Ziegler is a man who always has a mission. As a radio host in Kentucky several years back, his dogged pursuit of a gubernatorial scandal resulted in the Democratic governor’s removal from office. While working the drive-time beat in Los Angeles during the 2004 election, he brought John Kerry’s Iraq gaffe (if you don’t do your homework, the senator warned students, “you get stuck in Iraq”) to national attention. Now he’s at it again, producing a documentary that he promises will “show just how deep in the tank the media was for Barack Obama” during the recent presidential contest.

The film, “Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected,” isn’t due for release until late February, but it has already attracted a good deal of attention. Through interviews and poll data, Ziegler makes the case that the slanted coverage tilted the playing field toward the Illinois Democrat.

The rest of this can be found at: http://www.howobamagotelected.com/media-malpractice-filmmaker.asp or http://www.howobamagotelected.com/

I think that more people from the right side should come out like this. I am a believer in the fact that the media virtually elected Barack Obama, so this type of thing is exactly what we need to see: people calling the Liberal news media out on their lies, deciet, and malpractice.

Sorry if this is a repost. Mods can feel free to delete it, but I think it's definitely something we all should know about.
 

NO NO NO NO! F***ing NO!

Since Obama-Lincoln didn't catch on, now they're calling him Reaganesque. Read this. All I have to say for that is "Not a snowballs chance in hell my friend."

Even on vacation I can't escape Obama:

I'm posting from hub's crackberry and I've seen Obama books, plates, newspapers (at least those are understandable), and some other random stuff. I did try to avoid watching the news (I did watch Glenn Beck) but still. This is a big hippie resort (ski resort) so I guess I'm no so much surprised as I am disappointed.

Edit; I forgot to mention that a girl was reading "Dreams from my Father" on the jet to the resort.

Silly Me

Who wouldn't pay money to get approval poll numbers for Pres. Obama before and after people realized he pre-empted American Idol--?

Though it's hard to imagine which would be a scarier reflexion of the American body politic: if they went up or down--!
