Officials Say Florida and Michigan Will get Half Votes

The Democrat National Committee made it official that the party will once again disenfranchise certain voters. The Dems eschewed their traditional method of doing so, deciding that voters in Michigan and Florida will count as half a person for the purpose of awarding delegates. Democrats have historically favored counting disenfranchised voters as 3/5 of a person.

Obama leaves Trinity United Church

Something is seriously wrong with your church if you have to leave it to run for President. A person with the necessary judgment to lead this country would have done so much sooner. Even more important to the discussion are the  perverse beliefs of black liberation theology, as evidenced by the videos in this post from Patriot Room. But Obamalcolm X learned and passed these ideas on to his family. Sickening.

In his speech today he put most of the blame on people reporting on the disgusting racism evident in his church, as opposed to the racist teachings of his church.

He said it is clear that since he is a presidential candidate, any remarks made at Trinity by any speaker "will be imputed to me even if they conflict" with his stated views and values.

He also made it clear that the decision was purely political:

"I'm not denouncing the church and I'm not interested in people who want me to denounce the church," he said, adding that the new pastor at Trinity and "the church have been suffering from the attention my campaign has focused on them."

Update: PowerLine has an excellent summary of the entire Obama/Trinity United situation.

Sign Newt's Petition to Drill for Oil

Check out Newt Gingrich's American Solution website to sign the petition.

I just signed it for me and my wife. As of now, we have over 210,000 signatures. A large enough response to this may be enough to signal to Congress that the people are sick of our self-induced energy dependence.
At the very least it should help stall the Warner-Lieberman global warming alarmist bill, which would further increase everyone's tax burden and raise gas prices.

Neil Cavuto has been dead on with his analysis of the situation.. Check out his brief remarks here... 

Let's mandate gas prices.

Let's nationalize the oil companies.

Let's tax oil companies' profits.

Let's do everything but the one thing that should be done.

Search for more oil. Here.

And quit making speeches here.

I'm sick of politicians who'd rather dodge a bullet than hold the gun themselves.

And shoot at the problem.

Not avoid the problem.
