Obamadrama

Hardy GOP October 26th, 2009

From http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/10/obamadrama.html

by James Lewis

Don’t be deceived by the honeyed baritone voice and big smile. Bluffs, bully plays, and head fakes are the means by which President Obama tries to get his way. He learned the technique from Saul Alinsky.

The best answer is to use Alinsky against them. We know their rule book, and we can use their rules just as well as they can. The aggressor sets the rules.

Obama constantly uses Alinsky’s principle of head-faking: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”  For Obama, “the enemy” is us, the American people. We have to understand — that’s the way they use the language. Read Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals if you don’t believe it. We are the enemy.

Obama Stumps for Cap and Tax

Hardy GOP October 25th, 2009

Aren’t things bad enough already?
[Charleston, WV] West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Doug McKinney issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s speech this morning at MIT about the energy legislation working its way through the Democrat Congress:
“Moments ago, President Obama concluded his remarks to a small crowd of supporters in Massachusetts as he called for ‘the passage of comprehensive legislation that will finally make renewable energy the profitable kind of energy in America’. That’s a laudable goal, but not if it means loosing hundreds of thousands of jobs we can’t replace and spending billions of dollars we don’t have. The Democrat cap and tax scheme is simply one more big government boondoggle that West Virginian’s can’t afford. Of course if Obama and his entourage had bothered to show up in a place that produces coal, like West Virginia, they might have actually heard that opinion. Instead it’s clear that president cares more about his image in Copenhagen this December at the international climate talks than he dose about American workers and American jobs”

Rally for Coal - A Homerun!

Hardy GOP October 8th, 2009

Friends,

The WV Conservative Foundation is working everyday to fight for working families in WV.  Our latest event was a Rally for Coal at the Coal Miner Statue on the grounds of the State Capital in Charleston yesterday.  With just a couple days advance notice and a couple emails, we had a remarkably large and boisterous crowd in attendance.  The best news?  An incredible amount of media coverage across the United States and internationally. Total cost for the event?  Less than $100.  The impact?  Priceless.  More strategic efforts are being planned.

The media coverage of the coal rally yesterday was absolutely a homerun.  We were covered in Dallas, Nashville and greater Tennessee, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Washington, Ohio, and, of course, statewide, and we were even carried on TheStreet.com, MSN Money.com, Businessweek.com, Forbes.com, YahooFinance.com, and other national websites.  Even The India Times AND the Spanish language newspaper in Los Angeles, Vivelo Hoy. REMARKABLE!!! CRAZY!!!!!!

Thank you for standing with us as we continue to build our effort to fight effectively for the people of West Virginia!!  Feel free to share the good news with your friends and family.  WVConservatives.com -   Mike Stuart

ACORN’s Man in the White House

Hardy GOP September 28th, 2009

Newly discovered evidence shows the radical advocacy group ACORN has a man in the Obama White House.

This power behind the throne is longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard. He holds the title of White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush’s White House.

Evidence shows that years before he joined the Obama administration, Gaspard was ACORN boss Bertha Lewis’s political director in New York.

Lewis, the current “chief organizer” or CEO of ACORN, was head of New York ACORN from at least 1994 through 2008, when she took over as national leader of ACORN. With Gaspard at work in the White House, Lewis might as well be speaking to President Obama through an earpiece as he goes about his daily business ruining the country.

Health Care Reform - Opposition to Health Care Plan Hits New High of 56%

Hardy GOP September 18th, 2009

ifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide now oppose the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the highest level of opposition yet measured and includes 44% who are Strongly Opposed.

Just 43% now favor the proposal, including 24% who Strongly Favor it.

But the overall picture remains one of stability. While the numbers have bounced a bit following nationally televised appearances by the president to promote the plan, opposition has generally stayed above 50% since early July. Support has been in the low to mid 40s.

The number who Strongly Oppose the plan has remained above 40% and the Strongly Favor totals have been in the mid-20s. This suggests public opinion is hardening when it comes to the plan that is currently working its way through Congress.

However, now just 48% say that health care reform plan is at least somewhat likely to pass this year, a figure that has been trending down in recent days. That figure includes 17% who say passage is Very Likely.

ACORN Video: Prostitution Scandal in San Diego, CA

Hardy GOP September 17th, 2009

With 70 miles of stunning beaches and picture-perfect weather all year round, having fun during the summer in San Diego doesn’t require a lot of money.

The city combines old-fashioned Mexican charm with a modern edge. In a city where the sun is always shining, it’s the perfect place to get away for a bit of relaxation or stimulation.

If you’re looking for trendy boutique hotels, an exploding culinary scene, or visiting the local ACORN to get your underage prostitutes smuggled across the Mexican border, you’re in the right place.
