I Can Help?

Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, staring dreamily at Obama, wants to help put The Pickle's relish in CONgress.

Missouri’s McCaskill urges Christie Vilsack to run for Congress

McCaskill could fly in on a moment's notice and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Vilsack is under the delusion that she's well qualified to run and qualified to serve.

Don't believe her?

Here's her biography.

Huh?

In perusing my usual online periodicals, I became stumped by a couple of articles.

Regarding an upcoming visit from Dummycrat Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, the Cedar Rapids Gazette stated McCaskill is the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from Missouri in her own right.

McCaskill is the only woman Missouri has elected to the U.S. Senate, as the only other woman (Jean Carnahan) was appointed.

From the western side of the state, Report-err Bret Hayworth, in his Policitally Speaking blog for the Sioux City Journal noted -- Two Democratic candidates running statewide campaigns will hold metro area events Thursday.

In explaining a visit by CONgressman Bruce Braley, Hayworth gives MiniCommie's schedule --

In the afternoon at 4:45 p.m., U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, a 2014 U.S. Senate candidate, will visit Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City.

4:45 p.m. is always in the afternoon and the scientific community is united in that fact

Hayworth continued --

Braley will also meet later Thursday evening with Democratic activists in the city.

Braley has campaigned a few times in the city since summer. In late October, he held his annual Bruce Blues & BBQ fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

When did the Iowa State Fairgrounds move to the Sioux City metro?

Billy Boy, Billy Boy

Charming Billy will be in Des Moines later to WOW the Dummycrats at their Jefferson/Jackson Day Dinner.

To paraphrase the Ragister, he'll be "In & Out". Arriving just before the event and leaving before it's over.

They're so proud of Bubba that 3,000 are expected to attend.

Which reminds me of this exchange Tim Russert had with Missouri Senate wannabe Claire McCaskill Sunday on "Meet the Press".....

Russert: You're having Bill Clinton come in to raise money for you. Do you think Bill Clinton was a great president?

McCaskill: I do. I think--I have a lot of problems with some of his, his, his personal issues. I said at--

Russert: But do you--

McCaskill: I said at the time, "I think he's been a great leader, but I don't want my daughter near him."

How does that make sense to anyone with a functioning brain?

.... "Did she bid you to come in,
Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Did she bid you to come in,
Charming Billy?
Yes, she bade me to come in,
And to kiss her on the chin.
She's a young thing,
And cannot leave her mother."

Madame X

Currently underway, Emily's List is holding a Madam President forum in Des Moines.

Moderated by Radio Iowa's O. Kay Henderson, panelists include Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, CONgressional wannabe Staci Appel-sauce for brains and Christie Vilsack's CONgressional campaign manager.

McCaskill, a tax cheat, is only in the Senate because Missourians thought it better than having her as Governor and her last opponent was an idiot.

And the scientific community is united in that fact

Appel is a failed one term State Senator.

Christie Vilsack is in Washington, but not in the way she wanted.

Interestingly, Stephanie Schriock, President of Emily's List, decided against running for the open U.S. Senate seat in her native Montana.

I'm certain she would meet the three qualifications to be considered for an EMILY’s List endorsement: back abortion rights, including the right to late-term (or “partial birth”) abortions; be a Democrat; and, in primary elections, be a woman.

It must be because Montana is largely a pro-life state.

Say it again how you support the troops

The United States Senate, controlled by Dummycrats, was sunk in its efforts to cut and run from Iraq.

S.J. Resolution 9-- A Joint Resolution to revise United States Policy on Iraq.

It failed 48 to 50

The usual suspects were in favor

Akaka (D-HI) Baucus (D-MT) Bayh (D-IN) Biden (D-DE) Bingaman (D-NM) Boxer (D-CA) Brown (D-OH) Byrd (D-WV) Cantwell (D-WA) Cardin (D-MD) Carper (D-DE) Casey (D-PA) Clinton (D-NY) Conrad (D-ND) Dodd (D-CT) Dorgan (D-ND)

Durbin (D-IL) Feingold (D-WI) Feinstein (D-CA) Harkin (D-IA) Inouye (D-HI) Kennedy (D-MA) Kerry (D-MA) Klobuchar (D-MN) Kohl (D-WI) Landrieu (D-LA) Lautenberg (D-NJ) Leahy (D-VT) Levin (D-MI) Lincoln (D-AR) McCaskill (D-MO) Menendez (D-NJ)

Mikulski (D-MD) Murray (D-WA) Nelson (D-FL) Obama (D-IL) Reed (D-RI) Reid (D-NV) Rockefeller (D-WV) Salazar (D-CO) Sanders (I-VT) Schumer (D-NY) Smith (R-OR) Stabenow (D-MI) Tester (D-MT) Webb (D-VA) Whitehouse (D-RI) Wyden (D-OR)

Nelson (D-NE), Prior (D-AR) and Lieberman (I-CT) sided with Republicans to shoot it down.

Two different measures were debated as well.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 20--A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress that no funds should be cut off or reduced for American Troops in the field which would result in undermining their safety or their ability to complete their assigned mission.

This passed 82 to 16.

Dummycrats that didn't go along were...

Akaka (D-HI) Biden (D-DE) Bingaman (D-NM) Byrd (D-WV) Dodd (D-CT)

Feingold (D-WI) Kennedy (D-MA) Leahy (D-VT) Menendez (D-NJ) Murray (D-WA) Reed (D-RI)

Reid (D-NV) Rockefeller (D-WV) Sanders (I-VT) Whitehouse (D-RI)

Senate Resolution 107--A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that no action should be taken to undermine the safety of the Armed Forces of the United States or impact their ability to complete their assigned or future missions.

In a complete surprise Dummycrats supported this and CommieTommie Harkin supported the latter two.

Surprised because this is what CommieTommie had to say, in just the last two months, about Iraq.

3/15... "misbegotten, misguided war"

2/17..."a tragic quagmire"

He utilized the same "quagmire" statement on 2/5, it's a theme he's used since shortly after the invasion.

That and Iraq is another Viet Nam.

Thomas Sowell shows that these statements aren't really showing support for the troops...

Talk about "supporting the troops" or "honoring the dead" is part of the general corruption of language for political purposes.

... After generations of dumbed-down education in our schools, perhaps it is inevitable that there would be large numbers of people who have no way of separating rhetoric from reality.

The reality is that many of those in the media and in politics who are constantly talking about "supporting our troops" or "honoring our troops" have for years been in the forefront of those criticizing or undermining the military, long before the Iraq war.

During the early stages of that war, men fighting for their lives were criticized for not protecting the contents of an Iraqi museum.

Unsubstantiated charges against American military personnel create instant front-page news stories in the New York Times. But innumerable things that our troops have done that would make us proud are not likely to be reported at all.

... Perhaps the most irresponsible act of all has been Congress's promotion of a non-binding resolution against the recent increase in American troop strength in Iraq.

People's opinions can differ on troop deployment, even if -- like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- they have never deployed troops in their lives and have no military experience whatsoever.

But if anyone in Congress is serious about stopping the war, they can simply cut off the money -- and take responsibility for the consequences that follow.

Instead, they want to have it both ways, passing a non-binding resolution whose only effect is to embolden our enemies and undermine the morale of our troops that they keep saying they are "supporting."

Bob 2 Congress

Bob Hogue, pictured, is a former eastern Iowa sportscaster. In the early '80s Bob was sports anchor for KWWL TV.

He was also the first play-by-play guy for statewide Iowa Hawkeyes basketball. I believe his signature phrase was, "OH, MY!"

Bob ended up in Honolulu, Hawaii at KHON TV. He currently serves as a State Senator and is the Republican nominee for Congress in Hawaii's 2nd District.

That seat was vacated when Ed Case (D) lost his bid to oust Senator Daniel Akaka (D).

It'll be tough for Bob to get to Washington. Hawaii is a BIG Dummycrat state, although they do have a Republican Governor in Linda Lingle.

Hogue faces former Lt. Governor Mazie Hirono, who lost the governor's race to Linda Lingle.

Another Dummycrat, like Missouri's Claire McCaskill, not good enough to run their state so they try to inflict them on the rest of us by sending them to Washington.

Two more reasons not to elect Dummycrats

According to the Sun Gazzette, Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) chose yesterday to interject politics into a ceremony that honored those who died 9/11/01.

...Moran then maneuvered into more sensitive ground, suggesting that the country was not safer and intimating that the Bush administration's foreign policy was headed in the wrong directions.

“More people hate us,” Moran said, a comment that drew an outburst from the crowd.

“My brother died on 9/11 - don't make this political,” a woman in audience cried out.

Moran continued, calling on the nation to address the root causes of terrorism by the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.

This is from a man who in 2003....contended that the U.S. would not be considering military action against Iraq "if it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war… The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going, and I think they should."

Moran is pictured with what appears to be a bribe.

After all according to the Washington Post.....Moran took an unsecured $25,000 loan from a friend who was a lobbyist for Schering-Plough in 1999, just a few weeks after Moran co-sponsored a bill to help the drug giant protect its monopoly on the allergy drug Claritin. Moran also took a $50,000 loan from James Kimsey, cofounder of America Online, a huge local employer, and he became a leading backer of bankruptcy-reform legislation four days after he took a $447,000 loan with unusually generous terms from MBNA, the credit company that was pushing the reform bill.

In Missouri Claire McCaskill Dummycrat for U.S. Senate has accused President Bush of letting poor blacks in Louisiana die during Hurricane Katrina.

Per The Washington Times....

"George Bush let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black," she told a group of Democratic state legislators last week.
The comments, made as she outlined Mr. Talent's efforts to attract minority voters, were first reported by Pub Def Weekly, a St. Louis-based blog.

I was in Kansas City, Missouri last week and saw her TV commercials.

They tout her being strong on defense and immigration, without saying how. They also talk about her prosecution of 2,000 people for drugs. That doesn't seem like a lot for Missouri, especially when you consider all those Meth labs in the back country.

Show Me substance!

What I don't understand is how Missouri wouldn't elect her as their own Governor and now they're trying to inflict her on the entire country.

Of course this is the same state that elected a dead man to the U.S. Senate and then put his incompetent widow in his place. Not surprisingly this is that same Senate seat.
