12 Oct 2010NYC Ballot Screw Up For Soldiers Overseas:
New York, NY
NOT AGAIN!?!
Why can't the great liberal, Democratic State of New York get their crap together...
at least enough to ensure that our valiant servicemen overseas get their Constitutionally protected right to vote in our elections back home in the U.S.?
The real emphasis, with only 21 days left till the election, should be to 1) get the absentee ballots in the hands of those service members ASAP, and most importantly, 2) that their completed ballots are collected, protected, AND counted in this election's results.
If I had to guess... I would say the Democrats are foot-dragging because they feel the military does NOT usually vote Democrat and especially with the anti-military-leaning Dems in control of the Congressional pursestrings... and the Dems' sluggish misdirection of the war efforts in Afghanistan.
Let the generals make the war plans... then let them work their war plans... while Congress supports those war plans with necessary troops and funding.
In other words, join to support the ranks and follow them... or get the hell out of their way so they can win this war and bring our troops home sooner rather than later!!!
BUT... first things first... let their votes count and be heard in the 2 Nov 2010 election!

China Buys Into Stake of South Texas Oil and Gas:
Houston, TX
What is our 'brilliant' government thinking?
Are we so desperate for money that we are agreeing to sell stakes of our strategic American supply of oil and natural gas to the communist Chinese?
They are buying a one-third stake into drilling the huge Chesapeake Energy holdings in south Texas... and there is no government or public uproar?
How many oil or natural gas drilling rigs do U.S. companies have in mainland China?
None, I bet.
How many copper, silver, or uranium mines do U.S. companies have in mainland China?
None, I bet.
So WHY the hell is a communist, competitive country like China being allowed to come into our country and literally suck our own American crude oil and natural gas out from under our feet???
This is unbelievable to me.
Maybe it's a sign of our rough, economic times...
or maybe a sign, we need jobs so badly, that Americans will sell the very soul of our strategic assets to get more jobs...
nah, I think it's a sign of the President Obama agenda to socialize, weaken, and sellout America to his highest bidders... communist or otherwise!
This is the beginning of a slippery-slope we may come to regret in the long run!!!

Hillary Is Sitting This Election Out:
Somewhere on the other side of the world
Oooooh, she is a sly one.
Hillary is laying low on the other side of the globe... and acting kinda like a Secretary of State during this mudslinging and often 'bloody and bruising' midterm election season.
By laying low she dodges all the arrows, barbs and mudpies being thrown around D.C. and across the country.
This 'nose to the grindstone' blinder approach also protects her mostly-positive 'favorability rating' among voters... which could pay dividends if she runs with Obama as V.P. (or even against a vulnerable Obama in 2012 for the Presidential nomination).
Now, Hillary being overseas doesn't stop good ol' Bill Clinton from helping sling some mud and manure out on the campaign trails for his beloved Democrats. He loves it... he gets to be in the limelight again... he gets to bash Republicans... and all the while, scouting the crowds for nice, compassionate intern-wannabees.
We'll get a taste of what Hillary has on her mind when the devastation is over in November.
Just maybe she has visions of swooping in like a modern day Joan-of-Arc to resurrect the Democratic Party after Obama's control of both houses of Congress is shattered.
I can't wait to see how she plays her hand of cards she's been holding over Obama!
