McCain's "secret Plan" to go after Osama Bin Laden during Campaign '08

Ironically found on Ariana Huffington's Huffpo...

John McCain: I Know How To Catch Bin Laden
First Posted: 07-25-08 05:29 PM | Updated: 08- 2-08 05:12 AM

Last week, John McCain proclaimed that he knew how to win wars. Today, he's taking it a step further, telling voters that he not only knows how to capture and bring to justice Osama bin Laden, but is going to do it.

Appearing on the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, the Arizona Republican was reminded that he had vowed to bring Osama bin Laden to justice and was asked how he would differ in that task from President Bush.

Initially saying that he would not "telegraph" the specifics, McCain declared, "Look, I know the area, I've been there, I know wars, I know how to win wars, and I know how to improve our capabilities so that we will capture Osama bin Laden -- or put it this way, bring him to justice... We will do it, I know how to do it."

So politicizing "gonna get Bin Laden" is ok for McCain....according to McCain
But politicizing "got Bin Laden" is not ok for Pres. Obama....according to McCain?

These Republicans are something else, aren't they?

Fact: Ann Romney hasn't been a stay-at-home Mom for over a decade....if not longer

Ann Romney is an empty nester, and has been such for over a decade.

Her sons are between the ages of 33 to 41.

Doing the math, and even giving her credit for being a stay-at-home Mom of
a young adult away at college, it means that her last child turned 21 in 2000...
and he must have left home at 18...which takes us to 1997!

So I don't see Ann Romney as a stay-at-home mom at all,
not anymore!

Ann Romney had Choices.....

and she made them, and there ain't nothing wrong with that....

However, Ann Romney's party wants to take choice away from other women,
and that's why women have issues with the Republican party.

Our lovely media have decided to take a CNN pundit's remarks and twist them
into the context that the Romney campaign sees fit.....and attempt to make it appear
as though the Obama campaign had something to do with the words of one person.

Meanwhile during the 2008 campaign, our same lovely media debated adnauseum
what Michelle Obama's comments about America "really meant"....


Michelle Obama Takes Heat for Saying She’s ‘Proud of My Country’ for the First Time

conservative outlets aren’t so ready to let her off the hook.

“Can it really be there has not been a moment during that time when she felt proud of her country?” reads an article in Commentary magazine. “Forget matters like the victory in the Cold War; how about only things that have made liberals proud — all the accomplishments of inclusion? How about the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1991? Or Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s elevation to the Supreme Court?”


The article then says Michelle Obama’s comments suggest “the pseudo-messianic nature of the Obama candidacy is very much a part of the way the Obamas themselves are feeling.”


Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol said the comment “was sort of revealing.



We should understand and know who the "priviledged" party is, and why....
The media will never treat Democrats fairly and we have to fight them....
because they are not on our side!

First Afro?

this 1880's beauty (and others like her, no doubt) were the pre-incarnations of the angela davises, assata shakurs, and other 70's rebel-divas who taught us, by example, that our natural hair was not only beautiful, BUT POWERFUL!
