Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
There are some 'revealing' facts coming to light with the end of the election that make me thankful that Senator Kerry did not win.
It would seem that Kerry was so desparate to get Arizona Senator John McCain on the ticket as Vice President, that Kerry was willing to change the structure of the Department of Defense:
Now - some Democrats are practically wetting themselves over the prospect of President Bush imposing some sort of theocratic state, but I'd say this is something to be worried about too: Kerry shifting the authority of the Commander-in-Chief.During the early summer, Mr Kerry implored Mr McCain, the maverick Republican who ran against Mr Bush in the 2000 Republican primaries, to become his running-mate, meeting him seven times. He even offered to expand the vice-presidency to include running the Pentagon. “I can’t say this is an offer because I’ve got to be able to deny it,” Mr Kerry told Mr McCain. “But you’ve got to do this.”
Mr McCain told him he was out of his mind, and went on to embrace Mr Bush. “Goddammit,” a furious Mr Kerry said to an aide. “Don’t you know what I offered him? Why the f*** didn’t he take it?”
Bad pool Mr. Kerry - very bad pool. And I'm thankful that you lost.
Comments on 'Give You the Pentagon!'
I can't say I'm surprised. Kerry regarded the presidency as his by right -- one might even say, as a birth entitlement -- and therefore, anything he did to achieve it was utterly right and proper, including trashing the Constitution of the United States.
I hope this gets into wide circulation.

So when YOUR job is outsourced and your benefits run out and you can't make it on unemployment and you have to work for Wal Mart, suck it up and be a Real American, Mikey, don't whine, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Or try praying, Yeah, that always put bread on MY table.

|| Posted by deuddersun, November 7, 2004 03:11 PM ||What does outsourcing jobs have to do with realignment of the chain of command over the Pentagon?
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, November 7, 2004 04:28 PM ||I'm honestly curious about this.
Given:
1) that the Secretary of Defense is a position that isn't named in the Constitution;
2) that the only stricture on the President's appointment of a SECDEF is the advice and consent of the Senate;
and
3) that he could name the Vice President as easily as anyone else;
why is this an innately terrible idea? I mean, I voted against Kerry too, don't get me wrong -- I agree he had no business being CiC. But so far as I can see, there's nothing in this particular proposal that's bad by nature.
Actually, it has a few things to recommend it. If it became traditional, we'd (a) know who we were getting as a SECDEF when we were making up our minds how to vote, and also (b) we'd get VPs who weren't just meaningless placeholders (John Edwards, call your office), but who had real defense credentials. Since the main job of the VP is to stand up to the Presidency in case of assassination or other traumatic death of the President, that would seem to be a good thing.
|| Posted by Grim, November 7, 2004 08:03 PM ||It's (to me) a bit un-nerving because it's coaxing someone with a reward and the duties of the VP are expressly specified in the Constitution.
Granted, the SECDEF isn't specified in the Constitution, but the office and the person filling the position are confirmed by the Senate.
It just smacks of bribery to me.....
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, November 7, 2004 08:21 PM ||Mikey, you're right and it's obvious to me that Kerry was just desperate enough to promise someone the sun and the moon, and "all those pretty stars that light up your eyes", in order to win the presidency. Thankfully, McCain didn't take the bait.
It frightens me to think what might have happened if Kerry had won.

Subtle Media Bias
Michelle Malken takes notice of subtle media bias:
And I'll include the following obeservation that is almost cliché (say it with me):If this had been discovered on FoxNews, the planet would be hip-deep in spittle and foam from 'outraged' Democrats.
And if this is even reported to the CNN ombudsman, it'll be attributed to an 'intern' or someone low on the food chain cause CNN would never exhibit any sort of bias towards President Bush.....nah.

California Proposition Results
From the California Secretary of State, the results of California's propositions that were voted on yesterday.
I note - with extreme satisfaction - that Prop 66 was defeated. I also note that Prop 67 suffered the same fate. Boo-Hoo.
I am bummed that Californians decided that Prop 63 was a *cough* good thing and passed it. Now watch as the California legislature takes these additional funds - which are supposed to go towards mental health - are squandered on other things that should be covered by the General Fund and subsequently, the call for additional taxation methods will be heard since the money won't be spent on the proper programs. This one pissed me off cause:
- These services should be funded already, and
- The notion that someone busting their ass to make over one million shouldn't be the litmus test that they deserve to pay more.
I'm a firm believer in the idea that if I work my ass off to make X number of dollars, then I should be able to keep as much of it as I can. I have a big problem with the 'they make more so they can pay more' mentality.But, if most Californians want to simply 'tax the rich' for being rich, then they too can reap the results when these people find different ways to shelter their income from stupid taxation policies such as these and then try to scratch their heads and wonder why these programs aren't getting funded.
Comments on California Proposition Results
I just wrote about how bent I am over how we're (Californians) still spending like we don't have a financial problem. Holy crap, doesn't anyone remember that whole Gray Davis/Arnold flap a year ago?

That Settles That
Dispite being elated that President Bush was re-elected - decisively - I am going to really attempt to not gloat or rub it in the noses of those who were convinced that Kerry would win the election.
Really attempt....but I might slip and on occasion do my 'Bush WON' dance.
I haven't heard Kerry's concession speech, but I heard it was remarkably sincere, that he hoped that the division that was dividing most Americans into a 'Us' vs. 'Them' attitude would dissipate. I hope it does too, although from the random viewings around the blogsphere, there are some Dems that are just about to choke on their own bile.
I was prepared to 'suck it up' and concede defeat if Kerry had won and I was prepared to support Kerry as the next President - but that's not the case. Now - can those who supported Kerry & dreamed of Bush's campaign dying a horrible death reconcile and get on with life?
That will be the $64 question to be answered in the next few days....the American people have spoken as to whom they want to be the Commander-in-Chief - let's all be proud that this didn't have to come down to civil unrest like a Third-World banana republic.
Comments on That Settles That
Well, Mikey, let me be the first to congratulate you and all supporters of President Bush on your victory.
|| Posted by scroff, November 3, 2004 01:38 PM ||This is one of the saddest days of my life, right up there with 9/11 and a few other days I can recall on which someone close to me has actually died.
I feel like someone has died today. And all I can think is what a damn shame it is that we are going to have to endure that which a new term of Bush and his demonic cabinet will bring. All of the fears of democrats are likely to be realized, as Bush appoints four new judges to the Supreme Court, as he pursues his harmful foreign policy agenda, as he blurs and eviscerates the lines that devide church and state, as he panders to corporations, ignores poverty, makes an utter morass out of our economy, hinders the advancement of medical science, introduces legislation that deprives people of their rights all across the board, and takes a big giant shit on the environment...
And that's not even scratching the surface. Those who voted for Bush remind me of the fabled character who naively opened Pandora's Box and unwittingly unleashed a torrent of sorrow upon the world. Or the lion tamer who never thought that he would be attacked by his own animal. Totally unaware of the true consequences of their actions. Your actions. I truly do not think that you even know what you and the rest of the majority have done by electing Bush. Mark my words.
|| Posted by Maria, November 3, 2004 01:41 PM ||Scroff: Thanks. I really will try to not rub it in.
Maria: I'm not too sure how to react to your thinking....On one hand, it shows that you're genuinely concerned about the path America is taking, yet on the other hand, your pronunciation that 'the world will end' (more or less) gives me some insight into just how much you must loath President Bush - both as a leader and a human being.
As for seeing whether 'Pandora's Box' has been opened, time will tell - but I have a clean conscience about supporting President Bush.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, November 3, 2004 01:59 PM ||Not for nothing, but Pandora's box got smashed open beyong all repair on September 11th, 2001.

|| Posted by Stevie, November 3, 2004 02:13 PM ||(Beyond. Sorry...)
|| Posted by Stevie, November 3, 2004 02:13 PM ||Maria's little diatribe is a nice synopsis of why I ditched the Democratic party. The "I know better than you" attitude is annoying at best-- since when do YOU own all universal truths? Get off your high horse already. I don't need a lecture from YOU about MY choices and MY beliefs. Your all-knowing tone reminds me of born-agains that insist I'm going to hell for not accepting Jesus as my savior. It's all too familiar.
Naive, eh? Coming from somebody who places the results of our democratic Presidential election in the same category as the murder of 3000 Americans by Islamofascists... I can think of a few adjectives for that one. Read your whine-fest again and then let's talk about naivete. As far as us (Bush supporters) destroying the world-- could you be any more patronizing? Consider your words marked, Maria.
This is the problem with this country. The folks that are pointing their fingers at Bush for the divisiveness here really need not look any further than a mirror for the real reason. Trust me when I say that Kerry would not have cured that issue-- it's up to Americans to resolve it.
Scroff's comment is precisely why I respect his words so much. Highly critical of this administration, he always backs it up with facts and rarely goes off of pure emotion fueled by speculation (in other words, polar opposite of Ms. Maria). And here he takes the high road. The jousting will resume shortly, I'm sure... :-)
There will be no gloating from this neck of the woods-- there's too much work to be done. The real fight is taking place elsewhere, but I believe that AMERICA will ultimately come out stronger and more focused in the end. I guess I believe in the power of Americans much more than I believe in the power of one.
|| Posted by nathalie, November 3, 2004 04:26 PM ||Gee, I kind of think Maria hit the nail right on the head!

Back in the Fight
Sorry for the lack of posting in the last 48 hours - I was in the hospital again....dealing with an on-going problem.
Luckily, I got out this afternoon in time to vote. The discharge nurse was 'encouraged' that I wanted to get out to vote for Bush and it was nice to be in the company of other Bush supporters.
I was going to get together with some friends tonight to watch the returns coming in, but dispite being released from the hospital I'm still feeling like....well, fried whale sh*t.
I'm under the weather, but I'm still in the fight!
Everyone rub their lucky wabbit feet for President Bush to be re-elected in a clear, obvious landslide.

The Aftermath of Tueday
Robert over at Let's Try Freedom makes an interesting point about the election on Tuesday:
Regardless of how much I consider John Kerry not qualified to be the next President of the United States, Robert is right: if he wins, he's our President.This is one aspect of this election that has really caused me concern - the divisiveness that has emerged from the us versus them attitudes.
I had thought long & hard about what would happen after the election was over - would Americans continue to look upon their political 'rivals' as anthing more than that: rivals?
Whether we voted for him or not - whether we consider him the cat's meow as elected officials go - whether we think he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, whoever wins the election on Tuesday will be the President and it should be recognized that it is the will of the American people that the results be honored.
If Kerry is elected, I'll support him as President - even if I don't think he's fit to be dog catcher in Reno, Nevada. I won't bad-mouth him as many have trashed and talked smack about President Bush since 2000.
I'll do what Robert did and ask that you do two things after reading both his and my posts on this:
- Support the winner of the election, whether you like the guy or not, and
- Pass this along to others - either on your blog or through e-mail.
At the end of the election, something that all of us - all Americans - must remember is that there is no shame in being opposed to another political party or ideology but the opposition must end when the election is over.We must remember that while we're conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, whatever - we're Americans first.
Comments on The Aftermath of Tueday
Exactly. None of this they-stole-it crap.
If Kerry wins, we have to accept some responsibility for not getting the message out, for not working hard enough. We have to learn & move on.
|| Posted by jeff, November 1, 2004 12:21 AM ||Yeah - we'll kick our dogs, cats, iguanas, but we'll suck it up and honor the results.
Even if we don't respect the man on some levels, we'll respect the man in the office.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, November 1, 2004 05:13 AM ||I would never make such a blanket pledge. GW had my support right up until he invaded Iraq. I could overlook his shortcomings as a fiscal conservative. I could overlook his shortcomings in regards to illegal aliens (barely). I could almost overlook his USA Patriot act, but not quite.
But, regarding Iraq, he lied or stretched the truth so far as to make it indistinguishable from a lie that I can never support him. Under any circumstances.
I've said before that I hope Kerry wins, but I'm not a big supporter. I see him (hopefully) as an interim president. I will support him, though, as I supported the early-Bush, in hopes he can become a good or great president.
|| Posted by The Other Mike S., November 1, 2004 08:32 AM ||Well Mike, you could join NoSUBSTANCE, Cul, and Maria in thier Civil War campaign.
|| Posted by Gordon the Magnificent, November 1, 2004 08:12 PM ||hmmmmm..I could never agree with this sentiment. I want Kerry to win, but if I don't like actions he takes as president, I'll be on his shit too.
If Bush wins, well, what can I say?
As far as who wins..it being the will of the people...well that didn't hold true last time. There are already reports from all over the country of voter fraud.
[QUOTE=mikey]Even if we don't respect the man on some levels, we'll respect the man in the office.[/QUOTE]
I have no respect for Bush whatsoever. He is deceitful and a megalomaniac. I don't believe in respecting someone because of the office they hold..it is more importantly...what is it they do with the power said office gives them..do they use it perversly, or for the good of all?
I don't believe we will have the true results for quite a while, and I can understand that no matter who wins, the other side will have trouble trusting the results.
|| Posted by ruthie, November 1, 2004 10:52 PM ||I guess I'll be joining The Other Mike S. and whoever else...
I support my country first, before any man in any office, even and especially the President. If the man driving the bus is about to ram it into a bridge abutment, you don't sit there and let it happen out of blind allegiance to an office.
If Bush is elected, reasonably fair, reasonably square, then I'll watch and point out and criticize every move he makes... likewise if Kerry wins, reasonably fair, reasonably square, I'll watch his every move...
Long after Bush and Kerry are retired there will still be a United States of America. You can be sure I'll be doing my part, my patriotic duty if you will, to ensure it is left to the future in at least as free and noble a state as I received it... better if possible.
My loyalty is to the high ideals my country was founded on before any one individual.
|| Posted by scroff, November 1, 2004 11:01 PM ||Ideals - what are those again? I think Jefferson, Henry, Franklin are all rolling in their graves at what our political system/process has become: a mockery of their perfect dream.

|| Posted by The Other Mike S, November 2, 2004 08:29 AM ||Well, folks, off to cast my ballot for Kerry. There's already lots and lots of voter fraud crap going on... voting machines are being confiscated already... after people have voted...
Anyway... good luck!
|| Posted by scroff, November 2, 2004 08:46 AM ||Sadly, it is those who supported Kerry who once again refuse to accept the results of the election. The largest vote total ever seen in an election in this country's history is not enough for them. The GOP gain of four seats in the Senate is not enough of a mandate (following the two seat gain in 2002, for those who are counting). The gain in the House of representatives (following the gains in 2002).
I have no doubt that some Republicans would have been upset had Kerry won, but it is the larger (and far more obnoxious) contingent in the Democratic Party that give the rest of the Dems a bad name.
|| Posted by timekeeper, November 3, 2004 09:10 AM ||I'm curious where you hear or see Dems not acceptiong the election results? I wouldn't be surprised if there are some people who are crying foul, I just haven't seen or heard it.
For myself, just because Bush won doesn't mean I agree with him or his supporters, and I reserve the right to disagree and to make my views well known. Nor does it mean I will fall in behind the "mandate" and follow suit if I think it's wrong. But that's the beauty of America, eh?
For Bush to win my support he would have to concede much I don't think he's prepared to concede.
