Hillary Clinton- weaving tangled webs.........

So, Hillary can remember with clarity, something that never happened, in Bosnia.
In politics this is called 'misspeaking' in the real world- starting at home with one's Mom, things like this are called 'LYING'.
So what gives? has it now become acceptable for the Senator from New York to lie, only to excuse herself by stating the obvious "I'm human.."
What are liberals supposed to tell their children? Will this open a Pandora's Box of "I did not lie Mom, I misspoke, you said that it was O.K. when Hilary misspoke..."

Remember what former President Clinton's misspeaking did for sex in America? The suggestions from his jaunt against a woman who was not his wife, was that sex wasn't sex and there were millions of whores and whore supporters and enablers who embraced that LIE.

Everyone lies, but when we are caught, or when our moral compass tugs at our mind we apologize, chastise ourselves for being floppy pricks and move on.

We are considered mentally twisted (the medical term) if we pretend that the problem is with others.
Hillary has enjoyed a lifetime of lies and now that the spigot is on full force, she is finding it difficult to turn it down.
I tell my children that they need to tell the truth at all times. It is always better to take a few steps back to preserve your claim to authenticity.
Now, as a Republican, I have seen the current administration lie to the cost of thousands of lives.
Everyone,save the crazies, have acknowledged that we as a nation have been 'hoodwinked', but really do we want another four years of someone who thinks that it is o.k. to play loosey goosey with the truth?
I am reminded of something I heard years ago- I think that it was from Maya Angelou- When people show you who they are, believe them.

Hilary has shown us that neither her memory nor her tongue can be trusted- we should believe her.

Once you bite the BULLET- you're done!!

So this Saturday, my husband and I took the kiddies to Kemah, TEXAS. They have a cute boardwalk and lots of over priced water" $3.00 for 20 ounces of Desani- Sheesh!!. But we drank it and we liked it so there and wel l you are not allowed to bring in your own water so.....

Anyhoo, I have never ridden a coaster, I lived in New York and I have watched friends mount that wooded death trap on Coney Island with-mild disdain. Perhaps even intense pity.
So what would make me mount the BULLET at Kemah? My daughters (12 &10). "Ohh Oh Mommie Please!" "Oh gosh it would be sooooooo much fun" "MOM Really!!"

Well we were really early to Kemah, arriving around 9:45AM and the place was practically deserted( Starbucks was open)

1) We were behind 15 people on line for the BULLET.
2) I am a morning person -always have been. If you would like to get me to do anything daring and reckless catch me before 11 A.M.
3) My children can get me to do practically anything.
4) My husband said, "Go on honey, I'll just hang out with Ari". ( Ari is 31/2)

We all walked up an huge winding ramp, I passes by all the warnings without reading them, because I had taken my purse and I was securing my purse and glasses.....

As we buckled in and the bars were set my lovely older daughter said, "Well the sign did say you should not ride if you have any doubts-hee hee"

"What?? Seriously??!!! What!"
Wait I have doubts....
What followed was the most terrifying ride of my life. This ride is insane INSANE. I started screaming until I realized that this just amped the intensity, then my body started crying- crying.
I prayed and then I heard a "tick tick ticktick" The gears, as we climbed and then the drop - my younger daughter gave a little yelp and then I simply went to the only affirmation I could find:

"GOD, Dear GOD I Am NOT Afraid" -It helped

Truth: I was afraid, but once into the fear you just have to ride it out, and when you have stopped you realize that you have come through something 'kinda WOW'.
I could barely stand on steady feel once the machine let me go :-)
My daughters ran ahead and I was walking/running like an old chick rasping "wait for me"

My fear also has been immortalized -My husband bought the picture of my down the wooden hill torture. So there.

True: there are faster coasters, true: I am a little wussy, True: Kids can 'make' you do dopey things.
True: You will never regret it.
True: My entire body hurts two days later, not because of the BULLET, but because of all the walking and the FUN. Tomorrow I will tell you about the speedboat and the fun crew and how I totally love spending time with my family !

Ouch!

Elliot Spitzer is a whore - and his wife is by his side-For Shame

What is wrong with these women?

What kind of Stepford nonsense is this?

Does a political handler inject these women with some idiot tonic, that makes them stand proudly alongside men who have sullied their marriage bed?


Do these women lose their souls and every whisper of their self respect upon marrying a politician?
These idiots have three (3) daughters! What does it say to your daughters when (Dad) sleeps with prostitutes, and (Mom) stands by Dad? What is happening to our society when this kind of thing is so acceptable that the whore politician can appear in front of a press corp and excuse his filth as if his filth were a few misplaced receipts?

Maybe I am just a different woman, because I would not be standing next to a husband who could so easily: cheat, lie, steal, violate and spit on my marriage. Is there no anger, have these women been so brainwashed by the 'power ' that they now feel trapped?

Is there no pride anymore? Is there no righteous indignation? Do any of these women own a gun or a rusty knife? Seriously, Elliot Spitzer needs to get neutered and who better to make the first cut than his pathetic wife.

Hillary -as Cheese

Will this candidate ever go away? What is it about her that makes me fearful?
Is it because she's so damn unlikeable? I admit that that is unfair, because many people find me unlikeable, simply because I'm pretty ambitious. I like to win, I love winning, and I like fair play.

I think that it is perfectly acceptable for the Senator from New York to attack the Senator from Illinois. The substance of the attacks are what I consider troubling. Hillary Clinton does not seem to be alive to the fact that our country is in an economic depression (Wall Street is another thing). Hillary Clinton can use stories of struggling Americans to punch up her speeches, but does she really understand what it is like to have no money. Does she understand that there are children in America who eat only two meals daily, breakfast and lunch at school.

Does she truly understand that we would not have a financial health crisis if practically every dollar of Medicaid was not going to serve illegal aliens. Does she realize that if an uninsured working American takes a child to the hospital, that visit will put that family in debt because they cannot secure Medicaid? Does she realize that it is not that people do not want medical coverage, it is that thay sometimes cannot even afford the co-pay!!!

It is that bad.

Does she realize that companies are opting to export professional work to foreign countries- not because we do not have an able workforce here, but because many corporations seek to avoid paying a fair wage? Does she care, or is this run simply a mad dash for power?

For obvious reasons, I knew that she would take Ohio- it is obvious that they are not as concerned for their job losses as the rest of the country is. NAFTA is a big deal and it has caused a level of progressive shift away from the U.S. that will be difficult to rectify. To a large degree most Americans do not understand how the country works. They do not understand money, nor do they understand economic cause and effect. Many approach life with a guidebook from the crazy Right (note: this does not mean Republican) or from the crazy left.
With this approach, we have a country operating on the principles of 'anything goes'. This then leaves the rest of us jumping about and shouting 'no ,no, no, no!
With this backdrop we have a country teetering on the brink and the citizens think that 'everything is alright in America'.

Texas 4th March 2008

Tomorrow I head to the polls in Texas and with a heavy heart, I will vote for a Democrat. I really want to vomit about the whole thing, but what can I do? I cannot vote for John McCain, and my second choice Huckabee has lost his hold on the voters, Romney- my first option- dead. How can Republicans be so wrong?
I have been a Republican since I migrated and it was a fully explored decision. The Democratic party was the one that called for us immigrants to stay in our place, while the Republican party called for self reliance and honor and duty. It was a code of ethics that appealed to me on a practical level. It resonated with many of the people I have come to call friends, because they too believe in the American promise that if you fall you can always find the resources, spiritual or financial to get up.
The Republican ideal calls for us to always get up and to always move forward. Now there are those who call themselves 'Republicans', 'right-wing', 'far right', 'conservatives' or the 'moral right'. They have no real idea about how the country works- that balance between what we want and what we can afford, yet they are determined to affect policy. They are not concerned with the need for emotional buoyancy in our country, but they decry the deflated feelings and actions of the most affected members of our society (the middle class).
I know that we can't have Ronald Reagan, but McCain?? This man has a psychological score to settle and I am positive that our country will be left picking up the shards of glass. A leader who needs war and encourages the expansion of a war that was poorly planned and pathetically executed is dangerous and bloody mental. A leader who encouraged men and women to fight until they are broken only to come home and be denied care for their trauma and wounds is one who cannot be trusted with power over a people who are too afraid to say -NO.

A leader who stood up against water boarding before he entered the race , only to vote against the measure to abolish the practice now that he is in the race is not worthy of any vote. This is beyond waffling - it instead points directly to his character and the obvious deficits.

I cannot vote for Hillary Clinton because it would be unreasonable for me to think that she would be in charge. I can hear the rasps of 'you hag', but bear with me. This is the same woman who stood still by a man who repeatedly, publicly and tastelessly cheated on her. She did nothing and yet we are to believe that he will have no control in the running of our country.
I do not agree with asking the female candidate if she can control her husband, particularly because that question is tasteless and that we already know the answer to that query.

I believe that William Clinton would again have his sticky hands all over the affairs of this country and we would not survive another bout. The Senator talks about leadership and experience yet what has she done with this experience?
Also just who is Hillary Clinton? Is she the smiling, I'm-so honored-to be-here candidate, the tired weeping (misty) candidate or the screaming angry woman complaining about an old campaign poster? I'm not saying that she's unstable, but I have learned nothing new about Hillary Clinton during this run and I do not know what face to buy.
Yes she can rub shoulders and forge back room deals with the big boys, but is that what America is all about? Are we not about transparency, do we not encourage those testing the seeds of Democracy to deal from a clean deck?

I am voting for Senator Obama because he appears to be open to having a reasonable dialogue with the American people. He seems to want our country to operate for all the people and not those those who are rich, or poor, but for the millions of others who are beginning to feel like Serfs in their own country. Emotionally, he is a mix of Michael Manley and Edward Seaga, both were Prime Ministers of Jamaica. They belonged to opposing parties, made radically different decisions about Jamaica, but they loved their country. I am hoping that Senator Obama, if he prevails will have Manley's tenderness and raw love for the people coupled with Seaga's practical belief in self reliance, a balanced budgeteducation and naked balls.
We need someone who is going to take the economic problems and the staggering debt by the scruff and tell the financially illiterate American people the truth about, the failing dollar, this frighteningly expensive war, and the economy which is now a five hundred pound woman, running in four inch Manolo Blahniks.
So I am voting tomorrow, for a Democrat and I am still unsettled by that fact, but I am reminded that I did vote for President George W. Bush- twice, and he has proven in many ways the he is no Republican.

.....Then again, there is Mike Huckabee, and we Christians need to show active support for those who are in agreement with us. Decisions....
Vote America!!
