Tea Party Crasher Finds that the Tea Party is Generally Friendly

This must have been such a shock to him that a bunch of retirees and families could be so nice. Even to a black man! Shocking!

Brooks Alexander, a 23-year-old Olney, Md., hotel worker and Obama supporter who wore an Obama t-shirt to the evening rally, said infiltrators were being disrespectful.

�They�re doing a disservice not only to themselves, but to the people who are here trying to express their views,� said Alexander, who is African American and said he traveled to the rally to verify for himself liberal accounts blasting the tea party as racist.

�All my friends told me I was crazy to come down here in an Obama shirt,� he said. �Obviously I have political disagreements [with the tea party], but I cannot lie. I cannot say that people have been anything but nice to me. They have been shaking my hand. One guy told me I had a lot of [guts] for coming down here. I will definitely walk away from this with a new understanding of the tea party.�

I hope he picked up the fact that the Tea Party aren't a bunch of wild eyed racists who want to see Obama tossed out because they can't stand a black man as President. Hell most of them would vote for Condi Rice for President so fast there would be a stampede. I would vote for just about anyone white, black, or green who would lower my taxes (and not for a piddly-assed $400) and not spend so much money of China's money on stupid things. Hell, I would vote for Braniac 5 for President if he was a true fiscal conservative.

Movie Futures Trading Okayed: Sounds Like Fun

Well, the movie industry does not like it but it would be an interesting way to make money if you are knowledgeable about the movie industry.

Backers of the box-office exchanges say those markets would help Hollywood manage risk in a notoriously hit-or-miss business.

Investors would be able to hedge against potential flops by preselling a share of future box office receipts. The exchanges could even guard against likely hits, such as the upcoming "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" sequels, falling short of projections. If a movie doesn't do as well as expected, investors would at least be guaranteed revenue from those presales, known as futures contracts.

Although there will be added risk of the movie flopping due to the unpredictability of the stars. For instance if Kristen Stewart from Twilight was arrested for drug possession or something you might see your Long Twilight Eclipse Futures fall apart. Then what if some unscrupulous Short Money Hedge Fund guy planted the drugs in her car to frame her so that the movie tanks? Well, maybe not so much depending on how permissive the Twilight fans are.

Also I wonder how liquid this market will be? I mean being long Matt Damon movies or Tyler Perry movies would be pretty easy money. It would take a real technician to pick the next Paranormal State, Blair Witch Project, or Juno. It would be cool to see buzz about a movie that is months away because the trading picks up on their contracts.

Leftist "White Supremacist" Kicked out of St. Louis Tea Party

Some of these leftist tea party crashers are such morons.

After Adam Sharp asked the infiltrator to leave he said, �I�m from the knights of the Ku Klux Klan we are a white�� This leftist plant then told Adam Sharp, �I�m proud to be a racist� I�m not a Nazi. I�m a proud racist. I�m white.�
Sure you are. He didn�t even play the part well. You�d think they�d provide better training at their pre-tea party planning meetings.

I guess he got to the point where he was supposed to spew some vile racist crap but couldn't make himself do it. I guess there is some humanity left in this idiot somewhere. All he could do is say that he was white over and over like a broken record.

The Tea Party is Right on Tax Cuts. As if this can be disputed

Here are 5 Reasons why they are right and the tax and spenders are out of line.

We examine the evidence on episodes of large stances in fiscal policy, both in cases of fiscal stimuli and in that of fiscal adjustments in OECD countries from 1970 to 2007. Fiscal stimuli based upon tax cuts are more likely to increase growth than those based upon spending increases. As for fiscal adjustments, those based upon spending cuts and no tax increases are more likely to reduce deficits and debt over GDP ratios than those based upon tax increases. In addition, adjustments on the spending side rather than on the tax side are less likely to create recessions.

The reason why this happens is pretty simple. If people get to keep more of their money they can spend it far more efficiently then some government bureaucrat can. They can hire new workers if they are entrepreneurs. Or they can spend more on products and in turn force companies to hire more workers to keep up with demand. They can pay down corrosive debt and thus have more money to spend in the future. There are a whole host of good things that come out of letting people and corporations keep more of their money. I can tell you that I can spend my money far better then even 100 bureaucrats any day.

Jews Turn on Obama in a Big Way

Well, I guess he shouldn't be shooting his mouth off about what parts of your capital city the Israeli's can build in. In any case this reversal is stunning.

According to a poll published this week by McClaughlin & Associates, 46 percent of Jewish voters would prefer someone else than Obama in the presidency, compared to 42 percent who would re-elect him. That�s only a meagre four percent separation, but that number is stunning considering Obama got 78 percent of the Jewish vote in November. That�s a difference of 32 percent between now and then. Has there been another voting block with that large a swing? There may have been, but I doubt it. Something is clearly going on here.

I think Jews are finally coming to the understanding that Obama and the Dems couldn't give a crap about Israel. They pay lip service to stopping an Iranian bomb but there are no concrete steps or even threats if the Iranians thumbs their nose at the process. They treated their head of state like a dictator from a Banana Republic. What worse outrageous will the White House think of next?

Goldman Fraud Allegation Revolves Around Big Democrat Donor

Talk about stabbing your financiers in the back.

Campaign fundraising records show that John A. Paulson, founder and chairman of the hedge fund Paulson & Co., gave $30,400 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in June, qualifying him as a major Democratic donor.

He also gave $2,300 to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid�s (D-Nev.) reelection campaign in February of last year and $4,800 to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) last April, according to records filed at the Federal Election Commission.

I like Paulson because he was one of the few people that saw the real estate train wreck coming and instead of dodging it like I did he actually went short. He did it in some weird-assed hard to understand synthetic CDO something or other but still he was on the right side of the trade.

Now this goes to show that even if you give money to the Dems that is no protection from being a scapegoat to pin the financial mess on. The Dems want a scalp and Goldman Sachs and Paulson has those scalps.

Obama Care Even More Widely Hated then Before

I think the sales job that Obama ran out there was just not enough. People just don't like the thing no matter how much the Dems tell them that it will be okay they will still hate it.

A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds Americans oppose the health care remake 50 percent to 39 percent. Before a divided Congress finally passed the bill and Obama signed it at a jubilant White House ceremony last month, public opinion was about evenly split. Another 10 percent of Americans say they are neutral.

Disapproval for Obama's handling of health care also increased from 46 percent before the bill passed to 52 percent currently � a level not seen since last summer's angry town hall meetings.

Dumpster Diving by Anti-Palin Students Might be Theft

It would be such a shame to go to be kicked out of your university when Palin Derangement Disorder causes you to commit actual crimes.

A California university president says a contract between a school foundation and Sarah Palin for an upcoming speech was stolen from a campus administrator's office last week.

California State University, Stanislaus president Hamid Shirvani said Wednesday the five-page document was taken from a recycling bin inside the office of a vice president.

He has asked police in the Central Valley city of Turlock to investigate the matter.

So in other words it wasn't dumpster diving but sneaking into offices in order to find some dirt on Ms. Palin. What a bunch of dumb kids.

That White House Arrogance Strikes Again: This Time at NASA

You have to wonder about these people some time.

One problem with the Obama plan is that the White House botched the job of explaining the concept, said space scholar John Logsdon of George Washington University.

"It's absolutely crucial that Obama articulate a clear sense of what we're up to," he said. "It's hard because it's a relatively sophisticated strategy."

The people that are coming out against the plan are former astronauts!

On Monday, 27 former astronauts and senior NASA officials � including Bush's NASA chief, Michael Griffin � wrote an open letter to the president, contending that canceling the moon program would cede American leadership in space technology.

I think "sophisticated strategy" is their bread-and-butter since some of these critics are *actual* rocket scientists. They should be able to pick up things tossed out of the White House pretty well after successfully flying a spacecraft to the Moon and back. Instead this guy says that the Obamanauts just didn't articulate things well enough to them like they were rubes or something.

No amount of salesmanship can get people behind a plan to outsource our space program to the Russians for $56 million per astronaut or to the guy that founded PayPal or the other guy that founded Amazon. I thought the White House was all about fighting evil corporations.

Instead they are going to outsource our space program to them because they can do it cheaper? Talk about a mixed message after just getting done damning Wall Street and Big Insurance. Maybe it is all just a big plan to let the Iranians catch up to us in the Space Race.

Holy Crap! Charles Djou Pulls Even in Hawaii Special Election

Now this has to be a stunner by any account.

But according to a more recent poll reported by Atlantic magazine, Case and Djou are now tied with 32 percent of the vote, with Hanabusa in third place at 27 percent. About nine percent of the respondents were undecided, Atlantic reported, citing a Democratic source who�d seen results of a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee poll.

This is a Democratic source too so this might be about as real a poll as you can find. I think the mainland Dems attacking him as protecting tax breaks for firms that send jobs overseas might have hurt them. They should have just sent their money to Case or Hanabusa and let them run an ad showing one of them interacting with local people or introducing their family instead.

From what I have seen, Hawaii doesn't like bare-knuckled Chicago-style politics. They like positive candidates that rarely sling mud or talk trash about their opponent. Also Hawaii certainly doesn't like having outsiders from the mainland slinging mud in their local politics at all.

Finally, handicapping this race for people that don't know about it is pretty easy. We have Case who is a pretty good guy as far as I can tell. In fact I voted for him once over the last machine politician they ran against him. However he is hated by the Democratic machine here in Hawaii. His cardinal sin was "not waiting his turn" and jumping the late Patsy Mink's husband in the "line of hereditary Democrat progression" that they have going on in Hawaii. The Dems here want him destroyed at any cost.

Then we have Hanabusa who is basically the Harry Truman of Hawaii. She would be the Congresswoman from Inouye and not the Congresswoman from Hawaii. She has the blessing from the establishment and no matter how weak a candidate she might be they are going to do everything that they can to get her into power. It doesn't help that she voted for a tiny pay cut right after voting for a 38.5% pay raise during the start of the recession when people were getting fired left and right.

So Djou might be able to swing this thing just because his two opponents might do everything that they can to destroy one another. The machine politician verses the hated political outsider that "doesn't know his place" for the Democratic nomination for Congress. There is certainly too much bad blood for everyone to play nice so that the GOP candidate doesn't win.

I am still shocked that Djou pulled even so quickly but I guess the people of Hawaii are just too fed up with the machine to send yet another one of their cogs back to the Congress. Well, I just might be sending money to the second politician in my life on April 21st.

New Hampshire Democrats to Bring the Racism to Tea Party Rallies

Well, I still think that the New Hampshire Democrats are actually closet racists and finally feel comfortable enough to show their true colors in a non-politically correct environment.

Former Democratic State Party Chairman Kathy Sullivan is heading up the search, the source said. Sullivan has been calling and e-mailing liberal activists trying to get them to attend tea parties in different parts of the state and hold signs denying the authenticity of President Barack Obama�s birth certificate and make racially disparaging comments to reporters.

�This is Kathy�s [Sullivan] project,� the source told NowHampshire.com. �She is absolutely obsessed with painting the tea party people as racists.�

These leftists will say it is a "false-flag attack" but they can finally show their true bigoted colors without the fear of reprisals from their less insane brethren. I mean you have to be a racist to carry a racist sign and say racially disparaging comments at an anti-Tax/Big Government rally.

Dumpster Diving For Palin Dirt

The lengths people are going to in order to smear Sarah Palin are just getting to be sad.

Brown's investigation was prompted, in part, by a group of CSU Stanislaus students who retrieved five pages of the contract from a campus trash bin last Friday after hearing administrators were engaged in shredding documents.

The contract detailed the former Alaska governor's requirements for her visit, including first-class flights from Anchorage to California � if she flies commercial. If not, "the private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger ...," the contract specifies.

Yes, a bunch of "progressives" went dumpster diving in order to find parts of a contract so that they can slime Palin. It is just so pathetic how these people operate.

Liberals to Bring the Racism to Tea Party Protests

Now this is actually pretty funny.

According to several �progressive� Web sites, local libs are organizing to do just that on the Common tomorrow. �Nitwit central is headed our way, Boston,� warns one left-wing site bemoaning the �hatred being generated� by Tea Party protests. The Web site is urging followers to make their own signs parroting the �extremism� liberals expect to find there. So if you see a wildly offensive racist sign in downtown Boston - thank a liberal!

There is nothing like fighting "hatred" with signs that show that you are even more of a bigot then who you are supposed to be fighting.
