Republicans Have to Explain Themselves

Posted by Defend America on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 6:46:51 PM
The big bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is bad as is, but could you have thought it could get worse, I thought it couldn't. Apparently money will also be doled out to La Raza aka The Race and ACORN, two far far far left organizations that want to give illegals many benefits that they do not deserve. The Race wants to give illegals driver licenses, want open borders,   and continually reject tough immigration policies among many other things. While ACORN registers illegals to vote, encourages voter fraud, and abuses taxpayer funding. If you don't believe I refer you to:

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/07/09/15-things-you-should-know-about-the-race/

All Republicans in the House and Senators who vote for this probably soon should come out and explain why they voted for this piece of legislation. Not only that this bailout goes against all of our American practices, this bill also funds La Raza and ACORN. Larry Kudlow calls it best that this bailout is nothing other than big government socialism and it is just that. Republicans have to explain why they would vote for this bill. If they say that Americans are hurting, conservatives need to respond by saying well we are hurting when you Republicans do not represent our best interests and especially not conservative principles.

Media Bias Taking Its Toll

NY Times misses Wall Street revenue forecast

4 hours ago

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Times Co.'s second-quarter earnings fell 82 percent from a year ago, when it saw a one-time gain from the sale of a unit, but print advertising continued to shrink and pulled down operating income, the publisher said Wednesday.

Net income dropped to $21.1 million, or 15 cents per share, from $118.4 million, or 82 cents per share, a year ago. In the second quarter of 2007, the company got a 66-cents-per-share boost from selling its broadcast media group but also took a 14-cent hit from other one-time items.

More putrid numbers about the NY Times here:

There is Actually a Differene Between the Two Quotes

Posted by Defend America on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 12:14:54 PM

Hot Air captured the following passage from the English translation of Maliki’s Der Spiegel interview:

SPIEGEL: Would you hazard a prediction as to when most of the US troops will finally leave Iraq?

Maliki: As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned. US presidential candidate Barack Obama is right when he talks about 16 months. Assuming that positive developments continue, this is about the same time period that corresponds to our wishes.

Here’s how the exchange reads now:

SPIEGEL: Would you hazard a prediction as to when most of the US troops will finally leave Iraq?

Maliki: As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned. U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes.

Apparently Der Speigel said:

“His original words were unprintable. It would have been embarrassing to him. So we edited it,” says Müller von Blumencron. “There are very few people you can do a Q&A with without editing for grammar. And you always have to make it shorter.”

The German press is apparently just like the MSM in America, they do not report the news, they make the news instead. Verbatim remarks are kind of important, short is not important when it comes to an important remark by the prime minister of Iraq.

Still Wouldn't Support the Surge

Posted by Defend America on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 3:27:37 PM
Barack Obama in an interview with Terry Moran of ABC still denied that he would support the surge knowing what he knows now of the great accomplishments in Iraq then.

He said this:
TERRY MORAN: The surge of U.S. troops, combined with ordinary Iraqis' rejection of both al Qaeda and Shiite extremists have transformed the country. Attacks are down more than 80% nationwide. U.S. combat casualties have plummeted, five this month so far, compared with 78 last July, and Baghdad has a pulse again. If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you — would you support the surge?
OBAMA: No, because — keep in mind that —
MORAN: You wouldn't?
OBAMA: Well, no, keep — these kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult. Hindsight is 20/20. I think what I am absolutely convinced of is that at that time, we had to change the political debate, because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with…"

It seems like political expediency is more important to Mr. Obama than those who have risked their lives to fight for demoracy in Iraq. So he would not support it, even though it has proved great accomplishments and made way for safety and demoracy in the future. It definitely is interesting that changing the political debate is more important than completing the mission and trying to win the war and make sure Iraq is safe for its people and for Americans to leave. I just wish some person in the MSM would cover this story, but wait I forgot there is nobody left to criticize it because most of them are with Obama right now in the middle east.

NY Post Thinks it's Worthy to Print

Posted by Defend America on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 8:24:19 AM
NY Post printed Senator McCain's op-ed piece today in their newspaper. At least they think that it is worthy to read and important to print a presidential nominee of a major party's opinion. The editor leaves a note saying: EDITORS' NOTE: The New York Times wouldn't print this oped from the GOP candidate.
