Is Obama’s Campaign Manager Racist?

by: "The Commish" Michael Illions | 25 March

We have reached a point in this Country that any criticism of the President is considered fueled by hate and the person doing the criticizing must be a racist and/or bigot. I mean what else can be the reason of being critical of the President who in the eyes of the media and his Democrat minions can do and has done no wrong.

Case in point is the term “Obamacare”, used to describe President Obama’s signature initiative to reform Healthcare in this Country, hence the term OBAMACARE. Much like the Bush Doctrine or even Romneycare, it is simply a way to associate the author to the corresponding initiative.

However, the use of the term Obamacare has been met with not only rabid resistance but with outlandish claims that the term is racist, and those that use it must hate the President,and hate him because he is Black. I didn’t make the last sentence up, These people did:

Florida Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz recently said using the word “Obamacare” on the House floor was a violation of House rules because it is “disparaging” of the president.

ABC News’s White House Correspondent Jake Tapper told The Daily Caller he chose not to use “Obamacare” because it had a sort of negative connotation attached to it. “I generally try to avoid using terms that are considered pejorative and distract from the information I’m reporting,” Tapper said in an e-mail to TheDC.

Rep. Maxine Waters, California Democrat, said “teabaggers” who have signs with the word “Obamacare” indicate whether they are racist or not. In a media appearance on the left-wing Bill Press Radio Show, Waters called on journalists to “be all over” Tea Party rallies to look for racism.

Democrat Rep. Carolyn Pease-Lopez strongly disagreed. She said the term (Obamacare) is derived from racism toward the president and Republicans are only using the offensive term because they have such a large majority in the Legislature.

Not only are these examples inaccurate, but as Waters used the definitely sexually offensive term “teabaggers” in her own irrational example, they themselves are guilty of double standards, being offensive, and for checking reality at the door.

But the biggest rebuke to this lunacy has come from President Obama’s campaign manager Jim Messina who used the term Obamacare not once, not twice, but FIVE times in a positive way in an email to Obama supporters that urged them to stand UP for Obamacare, the supposed disparaging, racist, offensive and hate-fueled term:

Let everyone know: “I like Obamacare.”

What’s not to like? Obamacare means you won’t have to pay out of pocket for preventive care like cancer screenings and birth control, insurance companies can no longer drop people when they get sick or refuse coverage for “pre-existing conditions,” and women won’t have to pay more just for being women.

The bottom line is, the more people know about health care reform, the more they like it. So make sure your friends and family know that Obamacare is something to be proud of — and worth fighting for.

Say you like Obamacare today:

Thanks. We all did this.

I guess it is only offensive and racist when someone is critical of it.

Louisiana Lightning Strikes for Santorum

by: "The Commish" Michael Illions | 25 March

Mitt Romney is the ONLY candidate who can beat Barack Obama, so we are told.

Mitt Romney is the ONLY candidate who can unit all facets of the Republican Party, Tea Party movement, etc., so we are told.

So, why isn’t Mitt Romney winning?

Because Conservative voters don’t listen to what pundits like Ann Coulter or elected officials supporting Romney like Chris Christie say, they do what they feel and believe is right, not what they are told.

Conservatives don’t follow the pack, we lead it.

Every time we are told this race is over, Rick Santorum comes right back with a Primary win. This race is not over until the last man is standing, and I don’t see any 3 candidates dropping out, or if someone reaches the required amount of delegates.

But to be told to drop out to make it easier for the supposed front-runner to reach that number, all in the name of unity so there is more time to get ready for the election in November is asinine.

To Mitt Romney and his campaign team, I say this, win the nomination because you earned it, not because you think you deserve it.

In state after state, voters are telling Mitt Romney they do not want him, and if you throw in very small by the seat of his pants wins in Michigan, Alaska, Ohio & Maine, clearly no one really sees Mitt Romney as the only candidate that can win.

Newt Gingrich’s Short Memory

by: "The Commish" Michael Illions | 23 March

in trying to cut into the lead that Rick Santorum has over him, Newt Gingrich was quick in jumping in on the comments by Rick Santorum regarding Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. He took to Twitter to make his statement very soon after the story broke about Santorum’s comments:

Newt Gingrich ‏ @newtgingrich
Rick Santorum is dead wrong. Any GOP nominee will be better than Obama.

Way to take the high ground and try to appeal to the anti-Romney vote and disgruntled Conservatives to switch back to you. Well, the Bea Arthur look alike Newt Gingrich must also have a short memory or thought we all did. Because in December of 2011, he had a very different opinion on whether all the GOP candidates were either worth supporting or better then Obama:

Decorah, IA — Newt Gingrich likely became the first candidate to say he would not vote for Ron Paul if the Texas Congressman were the nominee on Tuesday when he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that “the choice of Ron Paul or Barack Obama would be a very bad choice for America.”

Wow, so much for taking the high ground here Newt. Sounds to me that YOUR comments about NOT voting for Ron Paul against Barack Obama are much much worse then what Santorum said, which he didn’t say as himself, rather talking about people having a choice and choosing to not make a change by sticking with what they have rather then the flip-flopping Etch-A-Sketch Romney. Did Newt “Flip-flop” about Ron Paul being electable and worthy of support?

Your comment now on Twitter and what you said about Ron Paul in December of 2011 is just so typical of politicians and why nobody believes a word they say and why approval ratings are so low across the board for the majority of elected officials.

What’s there to approve of?

Debbie Delirious Does It Again!

by: "The Commish" Michael Illions | 23 March

The unstable character of DNC Chair and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was on display again yesterday. This is a woman who has lied since day one after Obama appointed her as the DNC Chairman.

She has blamed the Tea Party for the 2011 shooting in Arizona without proof. She has lied about the unemployment numbers. She has defied reality in saying jobs have actually INCREASED since Obama has taken office, while falsely stating that the Stimulus Plan has worked.

If that wasn’t enough she has now denied ON TAPE saying something that was caught ON TAPE. Take a look see here:

Incredible right? No. Not if you are a Democrat. The mainstream media has ignored every one of the incidents I just described above including this one.

And unlike Conservatives, who police themselves, i.e.- Michael Steele’s gaffes as RNC Chairman, she is also getting a pass from her own party members and the base on these ridiculous episodes.

Why?

Because they not only believe her, they feel the same way!!

ALL LIES: Rick Santorum Never Said That!

by: "The Commish" Michael Illions | 23 March

Team Romney was looking and hoping for a distraction to take the focus away from the Etch-A-Sketch candidate fiasco and they found one, albeit a made up taken out of context comment.

Rick Santorum in explaining again why Romney can’t be trusted, using the latest Etch-A-Sketch incident as the springboard into his statement, said that Romney’s inconsistencies and flip-flopping on all the issues make it harder for people to choose Romney over Barack Obama, and may cause them to just stick with Obama.

That comment has been headlining the Drudgereport, who is a complete shill for the Etch-A-Sketch Romney, for over 15 hours now, but with a twist. Romney’s puppet Drudge is reporting it as Santorum said HE prefers Obama over Romney.

Here is what Drudge’s headline says:

SANTORUM SNAPS: OBAMA PREFERABLE TO ROMNEY!

Here is what Santorum actually said:

“You win by giving people a choice,” Santorum said during a campaign stop in Texas. “You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who’s just going to be a little different than the person in there.”

Santorum added: “If they’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future.”

Clearly, Santorum did not “snap” and clearly he never said he finds Obama preferable to Romney. What he DID say is that without giving people a choice and not knowing what you really are going to get from the other guy, people will stick with what they have so things don’t get even worse.

This statement from Santorum is no different then the often reported analogy of choosing between a Democrat and a Democrat-lite in Romney, or in this case; Obamacare vs. Romneycare.

This is a non-story and only being run up the flag pole to spare Etch-A-Sketch Romney further embarrassment from his own actions and lack of principle and character.
