Frustrated Incorporated
I just want something simple, like the TRUTH!

Here’s some of what she said.

PELOSI: If a resolution is not appropriate, then it remains for the credentials committee at the convention to resolve it. Then, earlier than that, I will step in, because we cannot take this fight to the convention. It must be over before then. I believe it will be over in two weeks.

Nancy Pelosi is saying, “Don’t worry. I’m taking Hillary outta here in two weeks. This isn’t going to the convention. If it does, I’m going to stop it before it gets there, and Hillary is toast.” The night before in Billings, Montana, Mrs. Clinton said this, which might have partially inspired what you just heard from Pelosi.

HILLARY: We have not gone through this exciting, unprecedented, historical election only to lose. So you have to ask yourself, “Who is the stronger candidate?” And based on every analysis of every bit of research and every poll that’s been taken, and every state that a Democrat has to win, I am the stronger candidate against John McCain.

Pelosi wasn’t through. She also said this to the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board.

PELOSI: Some of the success of the surge is at the goodwill of the Iranians. They decided in Basra when the fighting would end. They negotiated that cessation of hostilities. The Iranians!

It’s unbelievable, exactly right. Well, why are you surprised?

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have been waving the white flag of surrender in Iraq for over a year now, and, yes, you heard right. She is crediting the Iranians for our victory because they stopped their hostilities, and she wants the Iranians to get the credit.

This is how invested in defeat and in the incompetence of the US military the Democrat Party is.

Big Oil is under the big spot lights in the Senate.

The Senate Judiciary Committee headed up by Senator Pat Leahy is grilling Big Oil, as they always do when these prices jump to points that have the public outraged, and of course what ought to happen here is that the Big Oil execs ought to have their own hearings and bring in senators and demand to know from these senators why you’re preventing us from doing our jobs.

This is some energy policy that the Senate Democrats have put together.

“Senators told oil executives today that high oil prices cannot be explained by supply and demand, and that the oil industry’s concentration — and OPEC price collusion — is contributing to the costs facing consumers. Executives of the five largest oil companies were appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

… But Shell Oil Co. Chairman John Hofmeister said the prices could be explained, saying, ‘The fundamental laws of supply and demand are at work.'”

Now, to illustrate here that we’ve got too many lawyers and too many idiots in the House of Representatives:

“The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved legislation on Tuesday allowing the Justice Department to sue OPEC members.”

This is like suing Bin Laden! To sue OPEC!

This was an overwhelming vote. I mean, the Republicans chimed in on this one, too. To sue OPEC members for “for limiting oil supplies and working together to set crude prices, but the White House threatened to veto the measure. The bill would subject OPEC oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela, to the same antitrust laws that US companies must follow. The measure passed in a 324-84 vote, a big enough margin to override a presidential veto.”

This is embarrassing. This is flat-out embarrassing.

So our energy policy from the US government is sue OPEC and attack Big Oil execs.

And all of this is not going to produce one drop of oil.

Here’s a question.

Everybody wants more oil, correct?

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain need to be asked — and they should be forced to answer this question — why do you want the Saudis to pump more oil? Why do you want OPEC to pump more oil? Come on, now, you three are candidates for president of the United States.

Tell us, if you want our votes, speak up, why do you want more oil in the market?

Why?

When all three of you are proposing various forms of legislation that would punish oil and try to get rid of oil and to raise taxes on everybody.

Scary. This is literally scary stuff.

You’ve got the leading Democrat Party presidential candidate running around telling America just like Jimmy Carter, you have to learn to do with less. We are going to have to do with less. We are going to face a rollback of our lifestyle. This guy is a product of his environment, he’s traveling around in these elitist circles and he’s bought hook, line, and sinker the notion that we are despised and hated, and that’s why he keeps making stupid statements such as he’ll meet unilaterally without preconditions with anybody on the face of the earth, because he thinks we have to do that in order repair our image with all these people, and that evolves into the fact that the rest of the world hates us because we’re using so much of the world’s energy and we’re polluting the planet.

It’s maddening.

This guy is an empty suit. I am telling you, there is so much PR, so much buzz, so much spin about this guy, and he can’t fill out his suit. This guy, I’m telling you, folks, he’s not at all what he’s cracked up to be. He may be a smooth talker, but when you get down to genuine intelligence, common sense, and knowledge, this guy is an order of fries short of a Happy Meal.

So we want to know from all three of these candidates, “Why do you want more oil on the market?”

That question and the answer is so important, so crucial to our economy and our well-being it should also be asked to every candidate for Congress, the House and the Senate, asked and answered.

Let me add another group to this, too. Every journalist, every editorial writer, every TV anchor, every pundit should be asked and forced to answer, “Why should the Saudis pump more oil?”

The answer is obvious. Even a Harvard grad knows it. When more oil is pumped, the price goes down. The price of oil, of gasoline, of diesel, jet fuel, all go down.

And yet, knowing that simple fact, so many of these people demonize supply, they demonize the suppliers. They do everything in their power to prevent us from supplying our own oil, to reduce our own prices.

While demanding more oil on the market, guess who it is that’s facing an inquisition by the Senate Judiciary Committee?

The very people whose business it is to produce more oil are being asked about collusion and price fixing and all that from people who say the Saudis need to pump more oil.

When a political hack — and I don’t care who it is, take the politician of your choice — stands in front of a gas pump with the meter clicking and demands lower prices or calls for a committee hearing and the latest gimmick, a lawsuit against OPEC.

And when they rhapsodize about a frozen tundra they call an Arctic preserve that no one goes to visit, you can play back his or her own words, more oil lowers prices. When they play and replay the dream, the 30-year-old dream of alternate energy someday, somehow, somewhere, simply replay their words when they’re out there with these little photo-ops in front of the gas pumps, “more oil lowers prices.”

Obama, last Monday, on Good Morning America —

Robin Roberts:

“You know what’s going on in Tennessee, the GOP there and their web campaign about taking the remarks you made earlier about being the first time in your adult life being proud of the US, should you get through this process and you have the general election ahead of you, this is what you can expect more and more. Are you prepared for that?”

OBAMA: If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful, because that I find unacceptable. The notion that you start attacking my wife or my family, for them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class. These folks should lay off my wife.

He’s warning the good old boys in Tennessee, the GOP, lay off his wife.

Now, his wife’s out there making statements, making speeches, policy statements, she’s on the campaign trail telling women, don’t go into corporate America, stay dirt poor in your present jobs helping people change bedpans and stuff, don’t do any of this.

What do you mean, unacceptable? Talking about his wife?

WHAT WE CAN’T SAY ABOUT OBAMA:

1. Can’t talk about his wife, it’s unacceptable.

2. Can’t talk about his big ears.

3. Can’t talk about his mother.

4. Can’t talk about his father.

5. Can’t talk about his grandmother unless he does. But only he’s allowed to bring her up as a “typical white person.”

6. Can’t talk about that nutcase preacher.

7. Can’t mention his middle name.

8. Can’t talk about his terrorist friends.

9. Can’t talk about his bomber friends.

10. Can’t talk about his voting record.

11. Can’t talk about his religion.

12. Can’t talk about his buddies that shake people down in real estate.

13. Can’t talk about appeasement.

14. Can’t talk about color.

15. Can’t talk about lack of color.

16. Can’t talk about race.

17. Can’t talk about bombers and mobsters who are his best friends.

18. Can’t talk about schooling.

19. Can’t talk about his name, Hussein.

20. Can’t talk about his lack of experience.

21. Can’t talk about his income.

22. Can’t talk about his flag pin.

All these are distortions, all these are distractions, all of these are the politics of usual. It all started out we couldn’t talk about his ears. Now we can’t say anything about the guy. That’s acceptable.

We can’t say anything. He is a messiah. We can’t say a word. Now we gotta lay off his wife.

Sweet… nice list.

The Democrats are still beside themselves over President Bush in Israel at the Knesset saying that Barack Obama — well, the Democrats are saying he was talking about Obama. The White House has denied that.

This is the president yesterday in Jerusalem at the Knesset.

THE PRESIDENT:

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We’ve heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared, “Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.” We have an obligation to call this what it is: the false comfort of appeasement which has been repeatedly discredited by history.
(applause)

Side note: Do you notice that Democrats are always offended by HISTORY? It just seems to me that, as Bush explained historical facts in his speech, the democrats, as illustrated below, twist and turn history to their political whim. They have made an art out of re-writing history.

You know, folks, one of the interesting things about this is that in a personal sense, Obama was not even charged. He’s out there defending himself for something he hasn’t even been accused of. Furthermore, all these people that are rising up in righteous anger over what the president said ostensibly about Obama are not denying that Obama said this, because he did say it.

They’re not denying he said it. They’re simply saying, “It’s untenable. It’s horrible. It’s un-American. It is outrageous to attack from foreign soil! Politics ends at the water’s edge!” I listen to these people, and I want to pull my hair out.

For the past five years they’ve been going all over the world, from Al Gore to Bill Clinton, and denouncing our Iraq strategy and trying to secure defeat. The Democrats in Washington, both House and the Senate, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have been proclaiming defeat and all of this. And they act like this is some huge effrontery?

These are the people who laud Jimmy Carter — these are the people who laud Al Gore and Bill Clinton — when they go abroad, when they are on foreign soil, and they attack their own country. All of a sudden now they’re back to “politics stops at the water’s edge,” in anticipation of what they think will be a coming Obama administration that they want to shield from any sort of criticism at all.

CHRIS DODD: When presidents are out of country, people avoid attacking the president.

JAMIE RUBIN: The most ugly form of American politics brought to another shore.

NANCY PELOSI: You know, we have a protocol, that we don’t criticize the president when he is on foreign soil.

BILL RICHARDSON: Bad form in criticizing a presidential candidate on foreign soil.

HAROLD FORD: You don’t attack presidential candidates or presidents on foreign soil.

SUSAN RICE: A deliberate attack by the president on foreign soil.

ROBERT GIBBS: An unprecedented political attack on foreign soil.

JOHN EDWARDS: The president of the United States should not engaged [sic] in this kind of politics outside the shores of the United States. It’s just not right!

I know what you’re all thinking, “How in the world can the media report this without ripping into these people?”

These are the people that have been doing this very thing ever since George Bush assumed office in 2001, and here they’re acting like they are as innocent and clean and pure as the wind-driven snow; this is some great offense that’s taken place and you are watching all this and you’re listening to all these Democrats, and you’re screaming, because you can’t believe it.

The media is facilitating all this. This is a great lesson for you, which I think most of you probably learned by now already. The Media and the Democrats are accomplices. They are in league together — and they, they have no doubt what their agenda is, and they have no compunction whatsoever about advancing it — and they don’t care what we think of them. They couldn’t care less

They are advancing an agenda. The media simply amplifies it and passes it along, and we sit here and say, “Where the hell is somebody standing up and pointing this out?”

Barack Obama, conducting a town meeting in Watertown, South Dakota, he’s up there with Tom Daschle and he is criticizing…

“John McCain and President Bush for ‘dishonest and divisive’ attacks in hinting that the Democratic presidential candidate would appease terrorists. Obama strongly responded Friday to the comments Bush made in Israel on Thursday and McCain’s subsequent words. Obama told a town hall meeting, ‘That’s the kind of hypocrisy that we’ve been seeing in our foreign policy, the kind of fear-peddling, fearmongering that has prevented us from actually making us safer.’ Obama said McCain had a ‘naive and irresponsible belief that tough talk from Washington will somehow cause Iran to give up it’s nuclear program and support for terrorism.’

Nancy Pelosi, in Washington was asked by an unidentified reporter,

“You mentioned your trip to Israel. I’m wondering if you had any reaction today to the president’s speech in the Knesset, what he said there about appeasement and so forth.”

PELOSI: You know, we have a protocol, sort of a custom informally around here that we don’t criticize the president when he is on foreign soil. One would think that that would apply to the president, that he would not criticize Americans when he is on foreign soil. I think what the president did in that regard is beneath the dignity of the office of president and unworthy of our representation at that observance in Israel.

Of course no mention of her trip to Syria. No mention of her effort to undermine US foreign policy while on foreign soil, and no reference to the fact that Bush is in Israel, 60th anniversary of the Jewish state. He could have been talking about Neville Chamberlain. He was talking about appeasing Hitler! And yet these people are so defensive, and they know he’s right! They had to announce this, they had to have their little fit to try to distract the criticism, because anything, a divisive attack on liberals equals the truth.

Here’s Obama, on February in Austin, Texas at a presidential debate.

OBAMA: I would meet without preconditions, although Senator Clinton is right that there has to be preparation. It is very important for us to make sure that there was an agenda and on that agenda was human rights, releasing of political prisoners, opening up the press, and that preparation might take some time, but I do think that it’s important for the United States not just to talk to its friends but also to talk to its enemies.

He would meet without preconditions. He said it. These are his own words. This is why they’re having this fit. This is why they’re going nuts, because he said it.

What Bush said reminds everybody what Obama’s foreign policy is going to be…

What is Democrat Party the doing to voters in Michigan and Florida?

It is the biggest disenfranchisement of voters since the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. This is Howard Dean doing everything he can to disenfranchise voters, many of them minorities, from the two of the largest electoral states in the country.

And they are doing this on purpose. The bottom line is — the Democrats know this — Barack Obama cannot win this nomination unless certain votes are not counted, this from the party that wants to count every vote, they say; this from the party that tried to disenfranchise absentee ballots from military personnel in the Florida 2000 recount. Now they are prepared to screw Florida again, disenfranchise the Florida delegation, not seat the delegation, same thing in Michigan.

There is no greater act of voting rights denial since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.
