Or five if you want consider actual Republicans* in the race.
And in the last weekly poll that ended up being weeks long- our results are
two frontrunners separated by one vote between Gingrich at 24%/37 votes and "I'll Wait" at 23%/36 votes.
In the next tier we have a tie between Ron Paul and "Wasn't my guy at 20%/31 each.
Unsurprisingly since he couldn't pass money around here- Mittens came in last with 2%/3 votes.
As usual, you can still vote but it won't count.
* I meant real Republicans and not Obamas boy in China who's in this race for the Liberal vote.

Looking at the latest polls
About the "widespread popularity" of the Central Casting candidate, and the ...love people are throwing at him.
Up in Yankeeland (no offense to the people on my blogroll :-D ) where he's one of them....
I'm going to see how far the moniker "Platte River Mitt" will go, since his support is a mile wide and an inch deep.
All bought and paid for by the Establishment Republicans.
Besides, he's next in line!

My, what a difference two days make
See- on Weds we see the wise elderly negro accepting the results of the Democrat Iowa Caucus.
The very next day we see an invigorated social crusader gleefully cutting the ONLY Constitutionally mandated cabinet Department that's not going to see a budget increase.
Nose putty and pancake make-up does wonders....?

A liberal wet dream come true
How many Anti-American Liberals do you think wet their pant(ies) in excitement when they found out that president Peacenick was going to cut $1trillion from the Defense Dept and almost half a million troops?
Yeah, someone wants to go all Gen. Turgidson on his skinny butt.
Yeah, someone wants to go all Gen. Turgidson on his skinny butt.
...And now we have the kiss of death
For the Romney campaign.
Can't you just feel the man-love.
Look at his adoration of "moderation" and bi-partisanship.
But- Hey! We have the last big loser endorsing the next loser because it's his turn to lose to the Democrat.
Seriously. The ONLY reason I bothered to show up last time was because "Maverick John McCain" was smart enough to put Palin on the ticket.
...So- do ya think Big John made Mittens promise to NOT throw any hard punches against his frieeeeeend Barack for his valued endorsement?

The chubby one speaks
No, not that one- the one who got invited to be a political commentator based on her dads losing to President White Guilt.
Notice how they had to cut off her babbling about SantoRomney?

The Iowa Caucuses
To steal the whole Seinfield thing- A caucus about nothing. That produces nothing.
Or- if you're a more literary bent- MacBeth (scene 5/act5)
...That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Because after all is said and done, and the winner is announced, and the delegates go to the convention- none are bound to vote for the winner in Iowa.

For you history geeks
Who are into old WWII comic art as practiced by the warmonger Walt Disney, you'll find a wealth of stuff here.
What I was surprised about was that there were over 1,000 insignias and patches drawn by his artists for newly commissioned military units.
...Of course that was back when Hollywood supported out troops and patriotism didn't mean spitting on owr flag.

Dear Mary C. Curtis of the WaPo
You decided to spew an article going after the overheard words of a Republican in a (so far) major mouthpiece of the Obama administration taking him to task.
I'd like to take the time to help you out here (just between us girls- you know) about how we in flyover country see your article.
Lets start out with your opening paragraph:
Can you imagine how the incident would play out if an African American congressman made a crude remark about First Lady Laura Bush’s body? It certainly would have taken more than an insincere apology to wash that sin away. That scenario never happened — hopefully because those congressmen were raised with a measure of common decency....
How do we know they didn't? We all know what the Black Caucus thinks about whitey- the Ofay, and how the MSM loves to cover up ...mistakes and "mis-statments' from their friends.
Then you go on about Rep. Sensenbrenners overheard statements about- basically her hypocrisy.
You then go on misstating the outcome of her 'satments of concern' about our food intake-
What is it about her simple message that gets some folks in such a tizzy? Michelle Obama isn’t advocating a diet of roots and berries, only moderation in a country suffering the effects of an obesity epidemic, with diabetes on the rise in young children. She is sharing the advice in a way that emphasizes healthy eating and exercise, rather than the deprivation diet of a photo-retouched supermodel.
You would think a message to take a little care with what we consume would be welcomed. But no, folks like Rush Limbaugh and Sensenbrenner prefer to inspect every item the Obamas put on their plates. Those two might better spend that time looking in the mirror, but self-awareness has never been part of their package. Of course, if the first lady were a size 0, they would be saying she encourages anorexia.
Yes, maybe- except that everything she looks at ends up having the manufacturers change their ENTIRE food chemistry to adopt her 'suggestions'.
More?
How about you making the statement that she has a fat-@ss and finding a racial statement in it. As we all come to expect from a Liberal-
Not only is this disrespect crude, it also proves yet again that you can’t go wrong disrespecting a black woman in the United States of America, even if she lives in the White House – and in some constituencies, especially if she lives in the White House. Sensenbrenner’s nasty rant made me sick and sad because it brings to the surface the ugly history of how black women are viewed in America, stereotyped and dehumanized, our bodies everyone’s business except our own.
Soo...it's bad to disrespect a black woman because it turns her into just an object?
Or only when she's not a conservative?
But, you're right, no-ne ever called Bush a monkee or his daughters drunken sluts- did they?
The personal criticism of the latest Democratic occupants of the White House started with emailed jokes showing the White House lawn as a watermelon patch and went downhill from there. If ever there was an off-limits rule for politicians’ families, critics have definitely invoked an Obama exception, ironic when the one thing even political foes should be able to praise is the illustration of “family values” they hold so dear on display at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – mom, dad, two children and grandmom.
And in the "Do we *really* want to go down that road is this peach_
Sensenbrenner had to know that what he said was inappropriate when he first let loose at his church – of all places – to a woman who had complimented the first lady. It’s frightening to witness animus so deep that a sitting congressman can’t stop himself from repeating insults in church. Maybe he knows he won’t suffer serious consequences and might even gain a few points from those as dumbfounded as he is that the Obamas reside in the White House.
Because I could waste A LOT of electrons in digging up what YOU people had to say in country and to our enemies about a sitting President about five years ago...
And finally we get to the whole "The Obamas "LOVE" the same military they were badmouthing some 40 months ago...
. First Lady Michelle Obama has taken support of military families as a signature cause. I wonder how long it will take critics to find something wrong with that.
Not long, because to most Americans in flyover country- OUR history doesn't start whenever the new meme comes out about what's the new aim point this week- and know what was said before they became first couple, and just how cynical and HYPOCRITICAL most Liberals are about facts.
Which is probably why most Liberals I've seen are so angry- cognitive dissonance.

#OWS had a "PeacekeepingTeam" at the Rose Parade today
Wow, how...adult sounding.
How many did the TEA PARTY have?
Oh -NONE. Because the TEA PARTY didn't need to have self appointed authority figures making sure they acted like RESPONSIBLE adults.
BTW- they had millions of dollars and weeks to prepare for their version of the "Deathmobile" and all we got was this?
SRLY?

What happens to your checked in airline baggage.
Here is a nicely edited tube to show you (some of) what happens on it's trip.
Yeah, notice they missed the part where they opened it up to see if anything was worth steal.........Oh! That was why the TSA part was black?

I don't know anything about this group
So I thought I'd throw this FEMA Camp story out and see where it goes...
I remember hearing about something like this a year or two ago. It was designed so citizens could be "housed" there during whatever the administration called an emergency.

I don't think Hollywood today
Has what it takes to make anything like the Twilight Zone.
They used good writing, made you use your imagination and used new talent- who you still recognize today.
Nope- it would be all Seinfield and edgy and all white guys would be morons...with a laughtrack.

The establishment candidate is ahead in the Iowa polls.
Which -in a way is a good thing.
Also it would be a good thing to see the 2012 version of Ross Perot win...hmmmm same initials, just realised that.
Anyway- the reason I'm saying it's a good thing is because \, historically the winner of the Iowa polls doesn't usually go on to become the nominee.
Over the past several decades, the Hawkeye State has rarely voted for the Republican candidate who went on to win the nomination. In the league of early primary and caucus states, only South Carolina has an unblemished record in selecting the winning GOP candidate.
So their might be hope to still kill ROMbamacare yet.

To all of you old enough
That this is your attitude to Dec. 31-
Co-incidentally, I heard this alot in NRTC Great Mistakes the next year after this came out.
It was at least a weekly thing when someone got ASMO'd
Happy New year!
BUT- if you're young enough to think next year will be better-
Happy New Year!

This is what you really are:
People these days seem to think we are some sort of Internet vigilante group, That couldn’t be further from the truth. We are the little voice in the back of your head that wants to fuck your hot sixteen year old daughter. We are the father who beats his six year old child simply because he spilled his beer. We are every chef that’s ever spit in some random person’s food for the hell of it. We are the pyromaniac who burns down the homeless shelter for shits and giggles. We are the person who rapes the same girl twice. We are that feeling you get when you beat your pets; and enjoy it. We see some guy hang himself live, we laugh. A wrestler kills his family, we laugh. Some maladjusted Asian shoots up his university, we laugh. Fifty-thousand die in North Korea, we laugh. AIDS ravages a continent, we laugh. An Austrian man locks his daughter in his basement for 24 years and fathers 8 children with her, we laugh. A religion invented by a psychotic writer swindles countless gullible fucktards out of their cash, we laugh, and then go kick his religion’s ass just for the hell of it. We aren’t some vigilante group righting wrongs. We aren’t your friends, your buddies or your saviors. Your feelings mean nothing to us. We are human nature unencumbered by pointless ethics, foolish moralities or arbitrary laws and restrictions. We are every dark impulse you have; unrestrained and fully realized. We are what deep down, you wish you were. We exist as a means for instant gratification, purely at our own whim. We have no culture, we have no laws, written or otherwise. We are an autonomous collective, each an insignificant part of a whole. You cannot assimilate us, we do not change. You cannot defeat us, we do not exist. You cannot infiltrate us, we know our own. We do not sleep, we do not eat and we do not feel remorse. We will tear you apart from outside and in, we have all the time in the world. You operate under the delusion that we will someday be outdated, that we might even see the light. You are irrevocably wrong. You are not special, you are not unique and you aren’t crusaders for justice. You’re a blend of college age faggots who think that they can do some sort of good, and who are desperate to belong, to have attention. You have accomplished nothing, and you will fall. Enjoy your AIDS, faggots.”

I don't know how to title this post
Should I go the Darwin rout?
Or maybe the responsible adult rout?
See, we have a 12 year old girl running around on the highway at 11PM picking up clothes that fell of a roof-rack.
She's dead because she (naturally) got hit by a car doing at least 70.
The article is pretty scant on details, but I'm wondering who was driving, did they speak english, and were they held accountable for letting her run around in traffic?

Remember the Toyota brake "problem"?
That ended up NOT being a Toyota problem, but a driver problem.
Yeah, the problems that lead to a recall to help G.M. sell more cars.
The same G.M. that stole 2/3 of investors worth to pay back 0bamas UAW and wasted $50 Billion of our tax money.
How much do you think you'll hear about the fact that G.M. is now having to recall 4,000 of it's cars because those brains at the UAW were either too pre-occupied with all the UNION supported protests going on, OR too lazy to make sure some BRAKE PADS were where they were supposed to be.
And you probably didn't hear about the steering wheels coming off those Govt. Motors cars, either- did you?
....AND still speaking about your wasted .GOV tax money and the shitter, how about that earth-friendly Hybrid money Obama sent to Finland to help them make money?
Fisker Automotive is recalling all 239 of its 2012 Karma luxury plug-in hybrid cars because of a fire hazard, according to a report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Prices on the 2012 model start at $103,000, including the destination charge.
Which isn't so bad, I guess...
Fisker said the problem was discovered on Dec. 16, when workers at the Valmet Automotive assembly plant in Finland noticed coolant dripping. Fisker said it was not aware of any consumer complaints, warranty claims or “any other reports related to this condition.” It said fewer than 50 vehicles were in the hands of consumers.
I guess "smug" isn't selling like it used to be.

I just saw something that reminded me of Gov. Romney
And another example of his stellar oversight while controlling the finances of Mass.
No, not Romneycare-
Who here remembers the fiasco that was called "The Big Dig"?
To be fair, he didn't start it, but he didn't change anything on his watch, either.
And don't expect anyone to bring this up until the Republican establishment (and the MSM) make him the nominee, THEN it'll be brought up as another way to take down the Republican candidate...as usual.

Can someone help me out here?
I mean someone much smarter than I am...like a Liberal.
I keep seeing this GlowBull warming crap that you highlight and tell me the world as we know it will end in the next three decades. You know, I've been hearing that since you stopped telling us we were heading for a new ice age.
But -anyway can anyone tell me "WHO" decided that even if we were on the way to sunning ourselves on the new Riviera of the Northwest Passage, that "THIS" was the "right" temperature for Gaia?
Wouldn't the MedievalWarm Period Climate Anomaly work a little better? I mean, if you can grow grapes out doors in Scotland, and the Sahara is a grassland- what's so horrible about that?
Of course we'd all be suffering heat stroke because of all the blackouts caused by 0bamas EPA and their quest for climate 'stability'.
Or maybe the "Little Ice Age" that might be an 'unintended consequence' for this global climate interference that those smarter than us are trying to implement.
Of course if we tip to the cold side, we wouldn't be able to just go back to belching out CO2 and other 'greenhouse gasses'. We'd have to have some hugely expensive .GOV program to rectify that GlowBull climat change- wouldn't we?

So, what did kurt do today?
On his last day of an unpaid week off?
Instead of spending $300 on a $200 rifle, we went $220 on a $350 tattoo.

I just got done changing my oil
I was going to replace my thermostat, too but I need a 13MM deep socket- that I don't have.
While I was doing this, I was wearing shorts.
The reason I mentioned this is that I'm in south Texas and came across this ad in craigslist.
Why should I think this is one of those "Created or saved" jobs we (used to) keep hearing about?

Money talks, doesn't it Mitt?
You're buying all these reliable Establishment Republicans to endorse you (like which other RINO would they back) and getting some kind of Qui-pro-Quo on others that obviously threw in their conservative creds on backing you (right Ann?)
Now he's using his connection in the VA GOP to screw over everyone but his buddy Ron Paul in changing the ballot rules in the middle of the game. They decided that NOW they'd be holding candidates to the standard they never used before this election.
And in yet another reason to NOT vote for Obama lite- Romney has his people in VA forcing any Republican who wants to vote in the primary signing a "Loyalty Oath" to vote for whoever comes out on top of that two person rigged ballot.
Is the ACLU going to jump in here about unrealistic voting requirements?
Kinda reminds you of someone else using scorched earth politics in using his political power togrind over political problems throw problems under the bus.
F-U Mittens, I'll never vote for you.

Three things to take away from this video
- You can't always tell what someone looks like from a voice on the radio. This is the second time I've seen Mark Stein, but have an image of him from Rush's radio that doesn't match the reality.
- The only reason RP is ahead in Iowa is that there IS no reason for Ron to be ahead in Iowa- except foe his bots (and probably the Dems own version of Operation Chaos)
- The guy who should be in the lead right now isn't even running for President- instead he's being interviewed on talk shows.

Seventy years ago- on this day
December 28, 1941, Rear Admiral Ben Moreell, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks (BUDOCKS), requested specific authority to activate, organize, and man a unique, very special organization that would support the Navy and Marines in remote locations and defend themselves if attacked — the Naval Construction Battalions. On January 5, 1942, he was given that authority and the original Battalions were formed at a new Naval base in Davisville, Rhode Island.
The first naval construction unit to actually deploy from the United States left Davisville, Rhode Island, less than two weeks later on January 17, 1942. It was designated the First Construction Detachment. The 296 men arrived at Bora Bora on February 17, 1942.
On March 5, all Construction Battalion personnel were officially named Seabees by the Navy Department. Admiral Moreell personally furnished them with their motto Construmus Batumius, or We Build, We Fight. A logo, the Fighting Bee, was created by a Rhode Islander at Davisville.
The Navy built their Battalions with experienced, highly skilled craftsmen … electricians, carpenters, plumbers, equipment operators — virtually any construction or building trade was welcome in the Seabees. Seabee units were quickly engaged in construction and combat. By July 1942, the first Naval Construction Battalion landed on Midway Island to begin work on the new airstrip on Sand Island and to start the massive clean up of damage caused by the Japanese bombing.
From the construction and defense of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal to the Normandy Invasion. Seabees participated in every major amphibious assault in World War II. They quickly earned a reputation for exceptional creativity. If materials weren’t available, the Seabees used whatever they could to get the job done.

More than 325,000 men served with the Seabees in World War II, fighting and building in more than 400 locations before the war's end. They knew more than 60 skilled trades. In addition, nearly 8,000 Civil Engineer Corps officers served with the Seabees
NOTE--My battalion lost almost a quarter of their compliment assaulting Iwo Jima.
What was needed after the successful Marianas campaign was an emergency landing field much closer to the Japanese homeland that would service crippled bombers returning from raids and enable shorter- ranged fighter planes to accompany the giant bombers to their targets. The island chosen for this purpose was Iwo Jima, scene of some of the most savage fighting of the war. On 19 February 1945, the Fifth Amphibious Corps, which included the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion and elements of the 31st Naval Construction Battalion, hit the beaches. During the assault, the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion had the dubious honor of suffering more men killed or wounded than any other Seabee battalion in any previous or subsequent engagement. Although only minor construction was accomplished during the first ten days of the operation, the Seabees later built one crucial emergency landing field and fighter airstrips so desperately needed by the Allies.
The Seabees also played a key role in the last big operation of the island war, the seizure of Okinawa. The main invasion forces landed on Okinawa's west coast Hagushi beaches on Easter Sunday, 1 April 1945. Off the amphibious landing craft and over pontoons placed by the 130th Naval Construction Battalion went the 24th Army Corps and Third Amphibious Corps. Right beside them were the 58th, 71st and 145th Naval Construction Battalions. A few days later, two additional Naval Construction Battalions, the 44th and 130th, landed. The fighting was heavy and prolonged, and organized resistance did not cease until 21 June 1945.
The Seabees' task on Okinawa was truly immense. On this agrarian island, whose physical facilities a fierce bombardment had all but destroyed, they built ocean ports, a grid of roads, bomber and fighter fields, a seaplane base, quonset villages, tank farms, storage dumps, hospitals, and ship repair facilities.
Nearly 55,000 Seabees, organized into four brigades, participated in Okinawa construction operations. By the beginning of August 1945, sufficient facilities, supplies, and manpower were at hand to mount an invasion of the Japanese home islands.
While the Allied forces in the Philippines and on Okinawa were readying themselves for the final battles that would get them to Tokyo and complete the roads to victory, decisive events were taking place elsewhere, on the island of Tinian in the Marianas.
During the summer of 1945, the USS Indianapolis (CA-35) arrived at Tinian from the Naval Weapons Center at Port Chicago, California. Seabees of the Sixth Naval Construction Brigade helped with the unloading of the components of a newly- developed weapon. The Seabees then stored the elements in a shed built by themselves, and organized a detachment to guard the shed and its mysterious contents. Scientists assembled the weapon in the shed with several Seabees assisting as handymen.
