It seems everyone is writing a "change the GOP" story the last couple of days. It seems politicians and pundits woke up on May 13th when the Mississippi House seat went to the Democrat candidate instead of the sure fire Republican.

Mark Levin advises Republican candidates to cut ties with the RNC and McCain and actually run as conservatives! Politico has 6 suggestions which includes hanging President Bush how to dry by himself. House Leader John Boehner tells Republicans to wake up; saying this is a "change election".

Well they are all right and they are also all wrong. They are right that the GOP is broken. It was falling apart for years, but it snapped right in half when the RNC allowed the news media to step in and select the "Republican" candidate.

The RNC wasn't smart enough to realize that conservatives will not rally around Juan McAmnesty McCain. Some of us have vowed to not vote for him, and we won't. But we also lost faith in the whole party and realized that RNC does not respect us or care a wit about anything about us but our money. The RNC didn't get it when the campaign dollars stopped rolling in last June when several Republican leaders, including President Bush and Juan McCain started calling us names and beating up on us for standing firm against illegals not being given a path to citizenship. Guess the RNC and Juan McCain thought we'd "get over it". We won't.

We conservatives certainly won't get over the illegal issue with "our Republican candidate" scheduled visit with La Raza (the race) in July 2008. And no, pandering to the very, very right by talking about Huckabee as Vice President won't draw us back in. Juan was our least favorite candidate, followed closely by Mike Huckabee! The last nail in the RNC coffin has to be McAmnesty's jump onto the global warming band wagon. What a crock! We should take Juan seriously about fiscal conservative spending when he's joined the cult? I think not.

Sorry folks, this is Obama's election to lose and if Real Clear Politics is correct that Hillary has a good chance at the VP spot on the democrat ticket, the GOP is screwed. No, I don't want Obama or Clinton as President, but I don't want Juan McAmnesty McCain either. And I am not willing to trade one bad choice for another.

The RNC needs to wake up, smell the coffee and fix this disaster we have coming up in November 2008 called an election where the news media picks the candidates. It's sickening to watch the liberal media continue in their quest to now get Obama as the Democrat candidate by failing to report who this man really is - including his belief that there's more than 57 states in our union. They certainly wouldn't have allowed another candidate get away with something that stupid. The entire two years of garbage campaigning, we've endured is a total farce. I'm one very disillusioned American.

Update
If anyone still reading this long missive, I've just got around to reading Rush Limbaugh's transcript from yesterday - now if only the RNC and GOP leaders would read it. Here it is in a nut shell:

RUSH: No, my friends, the lesson in these Republican losses is that conservatives are fed up with the Republican Party and are fed up with the direction the Republican Party has taken. They have no real option in this election, so they are not voting, or in some cases they may be protesting voting against the Republican Party regardless of the candidate.

That's exactly how I feel. Never been so disgusted with politics in my life. The Democrats have absolutely no problem getting out there and lying through their teeth to make voters believe they are something they aren't and to defame their opponents anyway they can. And then we have Juan McCain, instead of standing for what we conservatives stand for, selling us out and jumping on all the Democrats idiotic band wagons like global warming and illegal amnesty. How can we do anything else but lose?

American Thinker runs a great article about Obama and his contradictions. As Peggy Shapiro points out, the only change we will get from Obama is change in what he says about what he's previously said.

In the latest scrimmage with McCain, Obama's top adviser accuses McCain of distorting Obama's position on Iran, saying that Obama never said he'd meet with Iran unconditionally. Yet directly from Obama's own web site comes that statement:

Diplomacy: Obama is the only major candidate who supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions.

"Without preconditions" does indeed appear to be "unconditionally".

Read the whole article, there's a lot of other contradicting statements from the man of change you can believe in.

Congress is attempting to push through yet another "immigration reform" bill. But the big question is exactly what part of "immigration" are they attempting to reform.

Human Events digs deep and reveals the devious details.

For all of its noble goals, hidden in the voluminous wording of this legislation is the true agenda of its sponsors, to wit, the section on preemption, Section 101(b)(2)(A), which reduced to simple language would preempt and ban any and all state or local law for immigration-related issues enacted to impose employer fines or sanctions, or would forbid any laws requiring employers to verify work status or identity for work authorization. It would also prevent any unit of government from verifying status of renters, determining eligibility for receipt of benefits, enrollment in school, obtaining a business or other license, or conducting a background check.

So as you can see, the real attempt of this bill would be to stop states from getting illegal aliens from self-deporting by preventing states over-ridden by illegals from checking the status of illegals.

I personally am so discouraged with our government that I'm almost sick. We are reaching our retirement years and appear to be facing ludicrious tax increases as the Democrats redistribute wealth, tax us more for the mythical global warming and force us to accept 20 million law breakers into our system. The bubble is going to bust. We simply cannot support all these "ideas" for "change" and "hope". Change and hope for whom? Certainly not Americans and certainly not senior Americans.

CNN is reporting near-simultaneous bomb blasts in the northwestern city of Jaipur

DELHI, India (CNN) -- India is on high alert after a series of near-simultaneous explosions killed at least 50 people and wounded 150 others in the northwestern city of Jaipur Tuesday night, government and local officials told CNN-IBN.

Bicycles were strewn about the streets near some of the blast sites, with pools of blood nearby.

There has been no claim of responsibility, but Indian government officials -- including Home Minister Shriprakash Jaiswal -- were quick to label it a terrorist attack.

The seven explosions started at about 7:30 p.m. (1400 GMT, 1000 ET) and detonated within 12 minutes of each other, police said.

The bombs exploded within about 500 meters (0.3 mile) of each other in Jaipur's old city, which is frequented by tourists.

In other news, the death toll from the earthquake in China yesterday continues to rise, being reported now as 12,000 dead with 26,000 injured. Nearly 30 seismic jolts have been reported since the original quake on Monday. The Chinese are accepting US assistance which is already at $500,000.

And finally, nine days after the devastating cyclone hit Burma, dead bodies still line shore lines, the death toll is at at least 100,000 and the junta continues to refuse foreign workers in the country to assist the remaining victims at risk of epidemics and starvation.

Slate Author Anne Applebaum asks if it's time for an all out "intervention" in Burma. It's sad that nations ready and willing to help spend their time looking for alternative ways of getting supplies to the victims.

The Des Moines Register reports that Immigration officials finally raided at Agriprocessors, Inc. today.

At least 300 people were arrested during the operation, the largest of its kind in Iowa, said Claude Arnold, a special agent with ICE.

The raid targeted people who illegally used other people's Social Security numbers and were in the U.S. illegally.

According to an affidavit, "Based on information thus far developed in the investigation, it appears, based on 2007 fourth quarter payroll reports, that approximately 76 percent of the 968 employees of Agriprocessors were using false or fraudulent social security numbers in connection with their employment."

Get that! 76% of Argriprocessors employees were not only illegal, but using stolen social security numbers that belong to real Americans. And then there's this little gem at the bottom

Agents with ICE have received information about immigration violations at the plant over the past two years, according to a federal search warrant made public today. Authorities said they will release more details at another press conference tomorrow morning in Cedar Rapids.

Well the jobless rate should fall again in June because we know where to find 300 job openings.

The LA Times seems to suggest that West Virginia won't vote for Barack Obama because they are racists, running this quote:

"My worry is there's just too many people in this country who aren't ready to elect a black president," said Charles L. Silliman, a retired Air Force officer who is Hardy County's Democratic Party co-chairman. "There's a lot to like about him. But I'm just afraid that too many people will vote against him based on their fears and prejudice."

Now just what if the real truth is that West Virginians and other Americans are totally ready for the right person for the job regardless of their skin color but know that a man who believes there's 57 or more states in the US and sat in the pew of a racist pastor for 20 years simply is not fit to hold the highest office in the USA?

And, could it be possible that the real racists in this campaign are those who blindly are willing to elect a person as president of the USA simply because of the color of his skin? The Campaign Spot at the National Review:

I was at a party a few weeks back, and talk turned to the presidential race. One guest, an immigrant from Europe, expressed shock and anger that Barack Obama commanded such an overwhelming lead in the African-American vote, contending that these voters were putting skin color above all other factors.

The story goes on to quote statistics that show that Obama is carried in several states by 90% of the black vote. No other demographic group supports any presidential candidate in such mass. What is it that this demographic group has in common with their candidate? Skin color.

Just who is racist in this campaign?

AT least there are a few sensible Americans who recognize that the U.S. Government has no business bailing out people who over bought when purchasing a home and now can't pay their mortgage. As the Hot Air bumper sticker says: Suck. It. Up.

The US Government is not your parent. And, even a good parent knows when to make a child pay the consequences of their stupid behavior.

From the Wall Street Journal:

The Democrats in Congress and the party's presidential candidates frame the issue as doing at least as much for beleaguered homeowners as the government is doing for Wall Street. The White house and most House Republicans counter this amounts to using taxpayer money to reward bad behavior.

The Republican protests are striking a chord with some Americans who are paying their mortgages on time or who didn't buy more house than they can afford....

A Gallup Poll in late March found that 56% of Americans favor government intervention to prevent people from losing their homes because they can't pay their mortgages, while 42% oppose it. The partisan divide was sharp: 58% of Republicans opposed intervention; 71% of Democrats and 55% of independents supported the idea.

And again, we see that the Democrats are the party of redistribution of the wealth.

Obama's visited all 57 states but has one he wasn't allowed to go to - Alaska and Hawaii!

Here's a government body that doesn't give a wit for their people.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- Myanmar's military leaders seized aid shipments headed for cyclone survivors and told the top U.S. diplomat there Friday that they're not ready to let in American aid workers despite warnings the country is on the verge of a medical catastrophe.

Another 4 inches of rain was forecast to fall next week as more than 1 million people waited for food, clean water, shelter and medicine to reach them. Diplomats and aid groups warned the number of dead could eventually exceed 100,000 because of illnesses and said thousands of children may have been orphaned.

The U.N. World Food Program said two planeloads of supplies containing enough high-energy biscuits to feed 95,000 people were seized Friday, prompting the world body to say it was suspending aid flights.

And, the devastated victims are probably being told that no other nations care, instead of the truth.

Of course the Democrats will whine their hearts out after seeing this. They don't want anyone asking their messiah anything that in anyway questions his fitness for the Presidency. But these are merely the beginning of the questions that should be asked of Barack Obama.
