Diane Denish, the Democrat nominee for New Mexico governor, ran an attack ad against Republican Susana Martinez which featured a lady identified as a schoolteacher.
There was just one teeny tiny little itty-bitty little oversight--nobody did a background check on the spokes-teacher . . .
With one beautifully-executed, and absolutely irrefutable, counterpunch, Susana Martinez joins Dale Peterson and the Demonsheep in the pantheon of great political advertising.
I would have given you a link to the ad she's responding to, but it seems to have disappeared. Wonder why?

In New Mexico, its assumed that if you're a Donk Pol that you are corrupt and incompetent and it doesn't matter to a third of the voters since they're related by one blood line or another. Cause they're all getting something out of it. The only reason the Trunks aren't as corrupt is that they've been out of power for so long. It's only one or two degrees of difference from the PRI just across the southern border.

This is a fucking shooting offense. Not only are they going to ram it down our throats, whether we want it or not, but then if we complain we get locked out.
How long before re-education camps? Gulags?
I have just about had it with this crop of dhimocrats. The 2010 class better stop this shit quick by cutting the purse strings or things will get real bad, real fast.

We had a revolutionary war during 17751783 to get out from under the boot of an oppressive king and his government. Who would have thought we would again end up with a would-be king in 2008 shoving stuff down our throats and asking us to shut up and like it?

Okay, so BO is in charge. He has the ability to influence the economy, and help move it in a direction he feels is best, and has done so. So now that all that he has done has made things worse, driven the US into the ground, and proven his delusional dreams really are delusions, he's blaming the people that aren't in charge. He's telling folks that are baring the brunt of his mishandling and mistakes that they are stupid, and have no right to be upset? Did I mention he's in charge? Did I also forget to mention that by voting them in, there is an unspoken note of trust that he will do the will of the people and try to benefit them? It's sort of how a democratic republic works.
Instead, the man in charge claims it's the voters fault (because people don't understand that unemployment is influenced by fiscal policies of the current government). People can't even do any thing after he's elected except tell their reps what they would like to see, and OB does the opposite, or wait for him to leave office or be impeached (I can dream). Is he in charge, I forget? Did he not do what the constituents campaigned for? Does he continue to call people stupid while he does his thing and, lo and behold, things get worse? Is he pathological or some thing?

Victor Davis Hanson had a righteously ass-kicking column yesterday on how this thin-skinned "never done nothing" rose to power without accomplishments, and now that he's expected to produce, is whining like a petulant child because he thinks he deserves the adulation without expectations. He needs a spanking. See "November 2010 and 2012"

ION BHARAT RAKSHAK > CALIFORNIA: THE COSTS OF THE PROTECTED CLASS. It costs mainstream El Calfornios an average of over US$0.80-N-Rising Per One US Dollar just to support Govt-Public outlays for Public Benefits + Compensation.
VERSUS

Unfortunately, women ('burg babes excluded) typically vote based on sexual attraction and his lack of slim looks would hamper him in a national election.
Maybe we can get him on Jenny Craig for the next year or so?

He is of that rare breed of politician who says, and likely believes, what the typical blue collar guy is thinking. Real populism, not just pretend.
And you'd be surprised how many women who grew up surrounded by men like that, like men like that. Pretty boys are for fantasy. Real men they want in their family.

I've been watching Christie ever since he was elected. The more I see/hear from him, the more I like him. Finally, a politician who SPEAKS with CLARITY and ACTS with CONVICTION. Agree or disagree with him, you have to respect him. This country desperately needs more politicians like him right now.
In regards to his electability and handsomeness, or lack thereof, a few comments. 1) While he could stand to use a good 25-30lbs at a minimum, he's not an ogre. I'm sure if he did lose some weight (and I believe he has already lost some since taking office), he wouldn't look that bad at all; 2) I think women will pay almost as much attention to the relative attractiveness of his wife when gauging his attraction quotient and voting appeal. If she's attractive enough, but not too attractive, they may look past his shortcomings and say, "hey, she's not too bad, so he must be a good husband."

Chris Christie is a fiscal conservative and a straight talker...all good things.
Now for the not so good things:
- Endorsed Mike Castle.
- Makes favorable noises vis-a-vis Comprehensive Immigration Reform (Amnesty).
- Makes favorable noises vis-a-vis the Ground Zero Mosque.
- NOT a staunch proponent of the 2nd. Amendment.
Let Christie clean up New Jersey first and get some exposure on where he really stands about some important issues.
Personally, I don't see him as a player on the National stage.

SAM may have a point. Let's see what he does in office and attempts to do. Some demirats are even cluing into BO and he really is like after seeing him conduct himself in office.
Christine O'Donnell has shown herself to have lied in her previous campaigns. I don't blame anyone for endorsing Mike Castle over her.

His likely opponent wouldn't be slim coolcat Barry; it's going to be Hillary, who's not exactly svelte or easy on the eyes.
Frankly, while he's just what NJ needs now, I don't know that he's what the country needs. Zero foreign-policy experience won't matter vs Barry the Simple but it won't cut it vs Hillary.

Love the way he tells the teacher to quit making faces and listen, or he'll move on to the next question.
That's old school. Put him in a habit and give him a steel-edged ruler and he could be a teacher in a Catholic school -- where the learning is real, and begins with respect.

You know I don't have to agree with a person 100% to like them. Using that measurement I would have no friends.

Castle is an uber RINO and would not be with the Conservatives where it counts. I would rather see Christine in the seat, or the Democrat. Time to stand on principles and not take what we can get.
Besides, show me a politician that doesn't lie. That being said, there seems to be a lot of mud thrown around about Christine and most of it is crap in my opinion. However, I'm Fort Worth, TX so I don't have a dog in that hunt.
As an additional aside on the Big Man in NJ, I think he would make a wonderful Attorney General. As long as he is given free rein to prosecute the corrupt bastards in D.C. and elsewhere.

[Arab News] President Barack Obama said his hard-nosed chief of staff Rahm Emanuel would make a terrific mayor of Chicago but expects him to wait until after the November congressional elections to decide whether to run.
Mayor Richard Daley's surprise decision not to seek re-election on Feb. 22 leaves the door open for Emanuel, who has played a major role in shaping Obama's agenda but has also long coveted the Chicago mayorship.
Obama made clear in a television interview aired on Thursday that if Emanuel decides to run, he probably will have the president's blessing and his vote.
"The one thing I've always been impressed with about Rahm is that when he has a job to do, he focuses on the job in front of him," Obama told ABC News in an interview recorded on Wednesday. "And so my expectation is, he'd make a decision after these midterm elections."
Emanuel's job as chief of staff gives him influence on advancing Obama's legislative priorities with Congress. He also oversees White House staff and determines who gets to see the president.
Obama's interest in keeping Emanuel as a key strategist at least until the Nov. 2 elections could be another reflection of concern about his Democratic Party's dimming prospects.
The president and his administration are scrambling to prevent big Democratic losses driven by voter anxiety over a stumbling economy and high unemployment.
"He knows that we've got a lot of work to do. But I think he'd be a terrific mayor," said Obama, who votes in Chicago, his adopted hometown.
Emanuel has until Nov. 30 to file his candidacy in Chicago.

This wacko wants to dissolve the counties and put us all under his magnificence and benificence as Cook County!

Really, an encyclopedia ? Machine Politics from the Encyclopedia of Chigago
As the younger Daley (soon to retire) readily acknowledged, radically different demographics and the attendant alterations in the political calculus clearly made the machine politics for which Chicago became famous an anachronism by the end of the twentieth century.
Well, the anachronism is alive and well in the 21st century.

The Democrats are facing some interesting internecine conflict, which has been described as a gang war between the "Dion O'bama" faction and the "Hillary Capone" gang.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
