American Crossroads comes out with an ad which devastates Obamazombie Ashely Judd (she is an actress in case you do not know) who although she makes her home in Tennessee, is considering running against Mitch McConnell for Senator from Kentucky. We might very well have found the Democratic version of Christine O’Donnell. By the way this type of ad is what we need, not the “compassionate conservatism” ads that Romney ran in Florida.

As a Kentuckian, I’m more than a little offended that she thinks she thinks she needs to swoop in and save us from Mitch McConnell, or anyone else for that matter. The arrogance and presumption is breathtaking, and I’d be surprised if my feelings aren’t shared with people throughout the state, Democrats as well as Republicans.
If she’d like to come for a visit during Derby Week, we’d welcome both her and her money and we will certainly show her a good time. The next day, however, we’d appreciate it if she packed up her Hollywood ass and took it back from whence it came.

He’s not that wildly popular among Republicans and he’s detested by Democrats but, as anyone who’s been in the Senate for going on 30 years, he’s got a lot of power, connections and an enormous war chest. Personally, he totally pissed me off when he gave Bush a kick in the ass on his way out of the White House door four years ago. Everything he does is political; he’s a man without conviction- conservative or moderate, depending on how the wind is blowing.
All of that said, I consistently vote for him because, as bad as he is, he’s better than a Democrat. He’s 1% of the Senate, every vote counts and he’s a reliable Republican vote. Primary him out? Only if it’s a viable candidate. There have been Senators in other states primaries out because the base is pissed….only to have them replaced with a Democrat. Thats the very definition of “cutting off your nose to spite your face” and, in my opinion it’s the kind of self-destructive crap that hands Democrats power on a silver platter.
“Republicans who are unwilling to compromise, unwilling to find solutions and are responsible for cuts to defense and jobs in their districts are going to find an unwelcome reception from voters,”
this is precisely the target the donks hand the GOP…it’s a brazen lie, and what are they gonna do about it? alow them to crate another myth?

Mexican mayors admit paying cartels to stay alive
“The lack of security has affected us. It is something that everybody knows about but doesn’t talk about, because we are afraid of facing organized crime,” said one of five mayors who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
“We have to pay them a tax,” the mayor said. “They don’t leave you a choice. As the saying goes, ‘either cooperate, or it’s your neck.’”
The gangs operating in Michoacan, where the Knights Templar cartel emerged, shake down everybody from the wealthy to the poor. They must all pay up to avoid being kidnapped or killed.
“It’s not something we want to do. It’s something we are forced to do. We have nowhere to flee to. They don’t give you an option,” the mayor said.

protecting your home = looking for trouble? well yes in a way it does. Actually taking any kind of precaution to protect yourself, family or property is kinda looking for trouble. thank God we don’t live in the UK

So he was packing, so what? That does not make him a vigilante or a gunslinger. He was attacked, defended himself and that should have been the end of it. And he did call 9-11, and he has been slandered ever since just like the Duke Lacrosse guys -- all because he and they were caucasian. There I said it!

Not “everyone” has blown off that question.
In my not so humble opinion Zimmerman’s biggest mistake was being out on ‘patrol’ alone. I done neighborhood watch patrols myself and know that the first rule is you never go out alone. A cell phone is worthless as backup as Zimmerman found out the hard way and it’s unlikely Martin would have confronted two people. So without even being there it’s still clear to me that mistakes were made that could have been avoided. Hindsight is always 20/20.

So? You called me a soccor mom and that was a polite name there?
Dude you were insulting me …. did I insult you no…the horrible thing I did was disagree with you. Just saying…if you can dish it out but not take it back…

yeah…it went bad for both of them…I don’t think Zimmerman had much choice after the fact…but people want to shit on those of us that think that could have been avoided…I have NERVER posted that he was innocent, only that the situation was avoidable….apparently around here death is unavoidable and the kid got what he deserved…whatever

@ heysoos:
You didn’t mean it in a nice way….at all and yes I have read the whole thread you were insulting dorien just for commenting on the blog and not the issue you disagreed with..if you kept it to just the subject at hand…I wouldn’t have said anything.
Happy Friday. Greetings from blizzard central. Photo of the week?

He was 17 years old. He was in Sanford staying with his father & the fathers girlfriend,
because he was suspended from his Miami high school.
He got caught with burglar tools in his back pack
I fear I have stumbled into a FNFT.
@ Da_Beerfreak:
Actually, I think that Zimmerman was not on patrol, but driving to
the store,.
Their paths just crossed & he thought that Trayvon looked suspicious.
They were having a lot of home break ins.
dead is dead…there might be another way

It is possible that it was a chance encounter, but Zimmerman still should not have gotten out of his car. After calling 911 he should have stayed out of things and let the Cops do their jobs. Being frustrated with the Cop’s slow response is no excuse for acting alone.

The very fact that THEY are throwing this up as a distraction over Benghazi, and susquation and a whole lot over other stuff is bullshit. Holder needs to be in jail not Zimmerman let us not lose focus.

I’m happily upstate right now with two fireplaces going at once in a little snowstorm. Had a great dinner and two vodka and cranberry’s and I’m right about in a little heaven right about now.

Writers such as those will always view everything through an ideological lens, and will never ever be satisfied with anything produced by a “male-centric” ( whatever they’re calling it nowadays ) world. They’re living pretty high up the food chain, in a first world nation, and still finding fault.
