Is Hillary The New Keano?

What did I say about Hill’s “never say die” mentality?

“For everyone here in Ohio and across America who has ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you”.

Sing it, sister.

As for McLame: -

Hasn’t anyone told him even the Republicans are sick of Bush?

Arsenal Spank Inter at the San Siro

The beautiful play award goes to the Arsenal.

I love a come back story.

PS

If Obama might be compared to Arsenal (pretty football, touching, on occasion, the face of brilliance in how to orchestrate a campaign), then Hillary Clinton is Manchester United, fighting for every blade of grass.

Football’s one thing, being President is another. I admire the never say die mentality.

As for McCain? He’s Teddy Sheringham.

Let’s Get Real Indeed

Maybe it’s the Col Nathan R Jessop clips: -

but I love it.

Who do I trust? It damn sure isn’t Obama.

Stars And Stripes In Stoke Newington

 Has it been a year?

Once again, the American Flag flies over Stoke Newington in remembrance of Martin Luther King.

Today, someone told me that Obama won’t win the US election “because America isn’t ready for a black President”.

May I clarify? America isn’t “ready” for a git who compares himself to Martin Luther King in speeches and has nothing of substance to say, but when he does speak, he manages wind-up one of the most volatile regions on the planet in announcing that he would invade Pakistan in search of Al-Qaeda; nor is America “ready” for his latest stunt, a wind-up of Black Americans with his suggestion that Hillary denigrates Martin Luther King.

So, no, chums: it’s not because he is black; it’s because he is an dangerously inexperienced and arrogant asshole.

Did You Wield The Dagger?

Look at Simon Hughes. He can barely contain himself in announcing Ming Campbell’s resignation. Someone should tell Simon that we don’t suffer from amnesia and his latest serves as a reminder of the usual Lib Dem tricks.

While seeing the aftermath of Ming being stabbed in the back was bad, it was no where nearly as bad as watching Hilary Anderson suggest on Panorama that the reason why Obama won’t be elected is because he is a black man.

While it may indeed be true that Obama isn’t black enough for Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, it’s a bit disingenuous to show tape of the Jena 6 protests and draw the conclusion that white America won’t vote for him because he’s black.

Newsflash: - Obama won’t get elected because he’s got nothing of substance to say. Oh sorry, yes he did, once. Obama said he’d be happy to invade Pakistan. Obama’s inexperience has not made him friends wherever he goes.

Cast your mind back to the Gore v Bush Presidential debates. Bush won many people over by being the guy next door that you’d happily drink with. The world’s a little too complicated for that now; we don’t need another President out of his depth.

But hey, who can make a programme out of that? It’s a bit sexier to say America’s full of closet racists. Tsk.

UPDATE

See this for Obama pandering to homophobes. Charming.

Hagel For President

As predicted by Kris Chuck Hagel looks ready to make his move.

Get to know your next President of the US.

UPDATE
Hang on, Chuck makes a special trip from D.C. to Nebraska to announce that he will make a decision later this year?! What a tease.

Yo Edwards: Out Of The Pool!

Hang on. Ann Coulter insinuates that John Edwards is a faggot. Ok, we do not approve of the use of such epithets here, but you gotta love the indignation.

Is “faggot” much worse that describing things or people which are lame as “gay”?

Both expressions really should have no place in 21st century political discourse or society.

Nevertheless! I had to laugh when Messr Sanctimonious and Wounded Edwards (who is not homosexual but definitely “gay”) said: Can you help us raise $100,000 in “Coulter Cash” this week to keep this campaign charging ahead and fight back against the politics of bigotry?

Wait a minute! Shouldn’t “Coulter Cash” go to the Anti-Defamation League, LAMBDA, or the Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered Veterans, or the thousands of other GLBT charities who are actually assisting gay people rather than Edward’s campaign?

True to form, Edwards’ “roll out the compo” mentality comes shining through. John Edwards, you’re a tosser, a hypocrite, a chancer and you’re outta the pool!

Not The Next MLK

Before Brits get too misty-eyed over the prospect of an Obama presidency of the United States, may I just refer you to the following exchange: -

John Howard described Obama’s setting of March 2008 as cut-off date for any troops in Iraq thus: -

“If I were running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory not only for Obama but also for the Democrats.”

Obama’s response?

“I would also note that we have close to 140,000 troops on the ground now, and my understanding is Mr Howard has deployed 1,400, so if he is (ready) to fight the good fight in Iraq, I would suggest that he calls up another 20,000 Australians and sends them to Iraq. Otherwise it’s just a bunch of empty rhetoric.”

Barack has fallen for the Democrat tautology recently expressed by actor Tim Robbins: “Why don’t you enlist?”

Ahhh yes, we’ve heard all this before! It’s the flip side of the same old coin, “You can’t speak unless you’ve served”.

Obama takes this false premise to the next level: “I haven’t served, so if I haven’t served and you haven’t served, we all have to demand the troops back no later than March 2008″.

According to Obama world, if you want the troops in Iraq longer than that date, not only do you have to serve, Barack and Tim Robbins will be the self-appointed arbiters of whether that service is sufficient!

Meanwhile, has Barack bothered to mention any military or tactical foundation for his campaign promise of pull the troops out regardless by March 2008? Anything to directly address John Howard’s concerns? You are joking!

Sorry Barack, you’re playing to the crowd: it’s over.
