Mitt Romney To Endorse John McCain

People from the Mitt Romney camp, the android who dropped out of the GOP primary and arch enemy of John McCain, will announce today that he will endorse the Senator from Arizona.

The old saying "Politics makes strange bedfellows" has never been more true, these two hate each other. If Romney can give McCain his 282 delegates, that's it game over for Huckabee (even though he can't win anyway). Some are speculating that this is the reason for this move by the Romney camp, shoring up his chances for a 2012 bid.

Blackwater Gets Immunity: Soldiers Get The Brig

Those Blackwater personel that shot and killed 17 Iraqi civillians, got themselves a healthy dose of immunity from being charged. ---ABC News reported that it had obtained the text of the deal, which showed the guards were given "use immunity" in exchange for detailing what happened during the incident on September 16.

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Tuesday that while he could not talk about the specifics of the Blackwater case, the kind of immunity being reported in the media were limited protections.---

Yeah whatever. Funny how they're even talking about "limited immunity" when soldiers are sitting in the brig for the Abu Ghraib debacle. An operation that's clear to any reasonable thinker, was handed down from the top.

A general was wounded by a IUD while in a convoy being protected by British Blackwater counterparts. Outside security agents protecting US Military Generals. Yeah, and we're going to go to war with Iran. Yeah, that'll work. I'm a bit shocked that more Americans are not outraged by this. Our soldiers are getting the shaft while outside contractors get paid and immunity.

Is a political "party" really this important? Is it so important to follow a man/woman because of the letter by their name, that we throw out our "support the troops" bumper sticker? Because this Blackwater crap has nothing to do with supporting the troops.

Bush was "pleased," the statement said, that the "misguided legislation" was defeated.---

The Worthless Democratic Party Caves Again

Before you get all high horsed and ready to type a bumper sticker slogan, I know the troops need gear. But if you really think all this money is for soilders, you belong on the FoxNews site.

The very democrats that were voted in to end this war have once again given Bush everything he wants by authorizing another $150 billion. Never mind the amount that has already been spent, let's just take this amount and think about what could be done with it. Like oh let's say spend some on New Orleans, the lost city of Atlantis. How about border security?

Seriously, what have they done? Republicans don't get a pass, but they've been boot licking since Bush ran for his first term. Democrats were supposed to come in and fight, change the order of business and end this war. Don't give me that "enough votes" crap. Pelosi has the power to stop it.

Habius Corpus is still gone, we're still in Iraq with no end in sight and all the dems can do is vote to condemn moveon.org, and give Bush everything he ask for. Oh and make statements: ---“Many of us have reached a breaking point on this,” said Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill. “I’ve done this for too many years. I’ve waited for the president to start bringing this war to an end. I’m not going to sign up for this any longer.”---

Blackwater Banned From Iraq! Finally!

With all the bumper sticker "support the troops" going on, I'm surprised there has been little to no uproar over firms like Blackwater providing "security" in Iraq. The contractors who work for these firms make more in a week then a soilder makes in a year.

Now after a gun battle where 8 Iraqi citizens were left dead and 14 were injured in Baghdad, the Iraqi Interior Ministry has revoked the license of the covert security firm.

Since when did American hire outside firms to do the job of the Military? To drive around in air conditioned black SUV's and collect fat paychecks while enlisted men and women patrol in 130 degree heat. This is a practice that I thought long ago should be brought into focus so Americans can see the extent of political slogans "support the troops" and fact "Blackwater".

---"We have revoked Blackwater's license to operate in Iraq. As of now they are not allowed to operate anywhere in the Republic of Iraq," Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Abdul Kareem Khalaf said Monday. "The investigation is ongoing, and all those responsible for Sunday's killing will be referred to Iraqi justice."---

This is not the first and only incident involving the Men in Black SUV's.

Another One Bites The Dust

Is this the man the ruined the buffet at Harrow Club? No he's not Axel Foley, but he is the disgraced Attorney General that retired this morning. Finally! Why did it take him so long considering he had lost the confidence of both Republicans and Democrats alike? Why did Bush "reluctantly accept his resignation" Friday? I need some sunshine on all this gray murkiness that is the truth these days. I would love to see people like Michael Vick and Alberto Gonzalez take responsibility BEFORE being caught. That would be refreshing. Then again Alberto still hasn't 'fessed up to anything. Saying "I don't recall" 70+ times is our Top Cop...copping out. Robert Woodward

Chinese Recalls: This Time It's Tires

Chinese tires on your car? Get em off. This is becoming a weekly habit, recalls of Chinese products.

--A tire importer said Thursday it would recall 255,000 Chinese-made tires it claims were defective because they lack a safety feature that prevents tread separation.

A worker from the Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Company checks the quality of tires at its Hangzhou factory in July.

The recall involves half the number of tires that the importer, Foreign Tire Sales Inc., had identified in June as possibly posing a risk.

The models involved are steel-belted radial replacement tires for pickups, vans and sport utility vehicles that consumers bought from early 2004 through mid-2006, Foreign Tire Sales said.

The small company, based in Union, was ordered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in June to recall as many as 450,000 tires that it bought from Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co. since 2002.

"Consumers should know that the affected tires meet all federal motor vehicle safety standards. But we went the extra mile by testing them and determining that they did not meet our standards, which are more rigorous," Richard Kuskin, president of Foreign Tire Sales, said in a statement.

Size LT235/75R-15, models CR861 and CR857, with a DOT number beginning 7DT5FTS.

Size LT235/85R-16, models CR860, CR861 and CR857, with a DOT number beginning 7DT2FTS.

Size LT245/75R-16, models CR860, CR861 and CR857, with a DOT number beginning 7DT3FTS.

Size LT265/75R-16, models CR860, CR861 and CR857, with a DOT number beginning 7DT4FTS.

Size LT31X10.5 R-15, models CR857 and CR861, with a DOT number beginning 7DT6FTS.
Although Foreign Tire Sales did not make the tires, it is responsible for the recall, under U.S. law.

Hey buddy, can you spare a dime...just don't shoot!

In Cincinnati, Ohio 62 year-old Geraldine Beasley shot a 44 year-old homeless man, Donald Francis, at a gas station as he asked her for some spare change. It is uncertain if they had a verbal altercation that led to the killing. Throughout the United States and the world, there are plenty of homeless people and you cannot avoid one at some point asking for spare change. Sometimes if I have extra I give and sometimes I cannot, but killing a homeless person is a despicable crime unless you are being attacked and fear for your life.

Democrats Want liberal bloggers

The Democrats went to the Daily Koz convention hoping to court more liberal bloggers into their corner. I would have to consider myself a liberal blogger and although I was not in attendance, from my spot in front of my computer I can tell any Democratic Politician reading this, I am not in your corner!

The Democratic Party are nothing but weak wimps. They were voted in to bring the two party system back to government. To bring back the idea of "Checks and Balances". So far they have done nothing but cave in to whatever Bush says and then stand there and make excuses for it.

The Adminstration got what it wanted by bulling the House. He wanted his illegal wire tapping, he got his illegal wire tapping. He wants more money to fund the his war, he gets more money to fund his war. He doesn't want someone to tell the truth before the Senate, they don't go to the Senate. Then the Senate votes to have more hearings on why.

None of you weak wimpy Politicians deserve a bloggers help. Just go bac and kneel before your master and leaves us alone. We're actively trying to find someone who has the "American People" the "Rule Of Law" and the "United States Constitution" as the reasons for why they are seeking to "SERVE" America in public office.

Democrats are serving the Bush Administration just like Republicans. There is absolutely no difference between the two parties, these past two votes have punctuated that long held belief.

It's time for a change from both of these power hungry Liars. Yes liars! Bush lied to get us into the war and the Democrats lied about getting us out.
