John Edwards OOOOOOPPPPPSSSSS!!!!

I doubt you have heard this from the MSM, but that great "family man" John Edwards has been caught in an extramarital affair. These guys are amazing, they preach on how we should live our lives, then sleep around on their cancer ridden wives. Did I mention what a jerk this guy is. I guess "America" must be his buzz word for woman. Now I get the "two Americas" is all about.



The best part was his justification, he did not love her and his wife's cancer was in remission. Oh, how compassionate. Here's what the AP had to say, yea, they reported it. Held off as long as they could though:

WASHINGTON - Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Friday admitted to an extramarital affair while his wife was battling cancer. He denied fathering the woman's daughter. Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with 42-year-old Rielle Hunter but said that he didn't love her.

He said he has not taken a paternity test but knows he isn't the father because of the timing of the affair and the birth.

A former Edwards campaign staffer claims he is the father, not Edwards.

Hunter's daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, was born on Feb. 27, 2008, and no father's name is given on the birth certificate filed in California.

The National Enquirer first reported on the affair in October 2007, and Edwards denied it.

"The story is false," he told reporters. "It's completely untrue, ridiculous."

The Enquirer carried another story last month, stating that its reporters had accosted Edwards in a Los Angeles hotel where he had met with Hunter after her child's birth. Edwards called it "tabloid trash," but he generally avoided reporters' inquiries, as did his former top aides.

In the interview, scheduled to air on ABC News' "Nightline," Edwards said the tabloid was correct when it reported on his meeting with Hunter at the Beverly Hills Hotel last month.

Most mainstream news organizations refrained from reporting the story, but newspapers in Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C., recounted the Enquirer's allegations in prominent articles on Thursday.

Edwards acknowledged the affair on Friday afternoon, traditionally a slow-news period even when the Olympic Games' opening ceremonies are not preoccupying millions of Americans.

Edwards was a top contender for the Democratic nomination for president, pursuing his party's nod even after announcing that his wife, Elizabeth, had a deadly form of cancer.

He placed second in the Iowa caucuses last January but dropped out of the race a few weeks later. He has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential choice for Barack Obama. The former North Carolina senator was the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2004.

David Bonior, Edwards' campaign manager for his 2008 presidential bid, said Friday he was disappointed and angry after hearing about Edwards' confession.

Obama what?

So, a little girl in a school asks Obama why he is running for President. His answer, well, I'll let Limbaugh disect it for me.



Yea, lets pick him!

What the CRAP?!?!?!?!?!????

What are the five Republican senators doing in making a deal with Dems on energy? The Republicans have a winner both in terms of what should be done politically to win, but also for what is the right thing for the future and security of our country. The Reps from the House are doing a noble thing and standing up for what is right and then five of these wusses from the senate cut their legs from under them. If you are from any of the states that these Republican senators are from, let them know what you think of their "comprimise!"
I come from North Dakota and my senators are clueless as far as what this country needs. (Democrats)

Mexico invades!!!!!

This is from the Washington Times.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when backup agents responded to assist.

Agents assigned to the Border Patrol station at Ajo, Ariz., said the Mexican soldiers crossed the international border in an isolated area about 100 miles southwest of Tucson and pointed rifles at the agent, who was not identified.

It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States, but U.S. law enforcement authorities have long said that current and former Mexican military personnel have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers.

"Unfortunately, this sort of behavior by Mexican military personnel has been going on for years," union Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) said on its Web page. "They are never held accountable, and the United States government will undoubtedly brush this off as another case of 'Oh well, they didn't know they were in the United States.'

"It is fortunate that this incident didn't end in a very ugly gunfight," said the local's posting.

WTF??????? Why the h e double hockey sticks are we not doing something about this? We let Mexico come here and hold a border patrol at gunpoint? Looks like the North American Union is coming around quite nicely.

What happens when a dirty bomb goes off in Phoenix?

Do as I say not as I do.

Check out AlGore's boat. I wonder how many carbon offsets were purchased to get him this.

So the guy that preaches to me about my carbon footprint and me cutting back on my energy usage has a private plane, a fleet of suv's and limos, a HUGE mansion and a 100 foot houseboat. I guess that he probably keeps the windows open with the air conditioner running so that he offsets his carbon output. the name of the boat, by the way, is Bio-Solar One. Yep, BS1.

Obama Forgetful?

So, is Obama just forgetful or just full of it?

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) -- Democratic candidate Barack Obama criticized Republican John McCain on Tuesday for taking a page out of "the Cheney playbook" on energy, overlooking his own support of oil-friendly policies that the unpopular vice president helped to craft.

Vice President Dick Cheney, a former oilman, early in the Bush administration helped draft an energy policy that Obama asserted is biased in favor of tax breaks and favorable treatment for big oil. Obama's remarks were an attempt to capitalize on Cheney's unpopularity.

"President Bush, he had an energy policy. He turned to Dick Cheney and he said, 'Cheney, go take care of this,'" Obama said. "Cheney met with renewable-energy folks once and oil and gas (executives) 40 times. McCain has taken a page out of the Cheney playbook."

In stumping Tuesday in this key battleground state, Obama sought to link the troubled economy with Republican policies and offer his own energy plan in contrast. He has tried to cast McCain as more concerned about oil company profits and drilling than an overall energy strategy.

However, Obama himself voted for a 2005 energy bill backed by Bush that included billions in subsidies for oil and natural gas production, a measure Cheney played a major role in developing. McCain opposed the bill on grounds it included billions in unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry.

I'm going to go with full of it and just doing what he must to get elected. Typical Washington BS. Change that really is not all that different.

Obama scared

So let me get this straight, Obama is afraid to debate with McCain, but want to talk without preconditions to the leaders of nations that want to KILL us? Yea, lets choose him!

From the AP:
Democratic candidate Barack Obama on Saturday backed away from rival John McCain's challenge for a series of joint appearances, agreeing only to the standard three debates in the fall.

In May, when a McCain adviser proposed a series of pre-convention appearances at town hall meetings, Obama said, "I think that's a great idea." In summer stumping on the campaign trail, McCain has often noted that Obama had not followed through and joined him in any events.

Obama's reversal on town hall debates is part of a play-it-safe strategy he's adopted since claiming the nomination and grabbing a lead in national polls. Advisers to the Illinois senator, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss strategy, say Obama is reluctant to take chances or give McCain a high-profile stage now that Obama's the front-runner.

On Saturday, in a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said the short period between the last political convention and the first proposed debate made it likely that the commission-sponsored debates would be the only ones.

Hey Obama, you are not leading anymore! Check it out.
