An open letter to Hillary:

At the time of the terrorist attack in Benghazi; it was arguably the most dangerous U.S. Embassy on the planet! That’s one of the biggest differences of all! Added to the fact that several months prior to the attack; they pleaded
for upgraded security forces and were promptly ignored by you and your State Department!  Four American died
there because you failed to respond to their cries for help!  You didn’t answer that 3:00 AM phone call! Apparently, it made one hell of a difference!

It made a difference when you and Obama lied to the American public about the cause of the attack! Then, to add insult to injury, you and Obama stood with the bodies of those four dead Americans, looked into the faces of their loved ones and lied again!  Both of you knew all too well from the “get-go” that it was a terrorist attack and nothing else!
 
It made a difference when you lied to Congress!  At least it should have; if anyone in Congress had the “balls” to ask something other than softball questions and challenge your answers!  It could have made a big difference!  But then, no one would dare question the integrity of a former “First Lady”.  Would they?
  
So here we are, a little over a year after the attack!  The LSM has long since abandoned any mention of Benghazi or the four Americans who died there!  So far, no one has been punished, tried or even taken into custody!  All we have so far is; four dead Americans, a cover up and a huge number of lies!  Since lying to Congress, you haven’t even been willing to discuss Benghazi! Then again, liberals usually don’t discuss their screw-ups so, I’m not surprised!
 
Rumor has it that you’re considering and even preparing a run for the Presidency in 2016! I’m absolutely certain that you will be “the darling of the LSM”!  As usual they can’t find anything negative to say about you and I’m certain they will totally ignore the Benghazi issue all together!
 
Trust me; Benghazi will be a prominent issue in that campaign! Rest assured that I for one; will be doing everything in my power to ensure that it is! I am devoting a page on my website to that end!  Here’s my contribution to your campaign!  Check it out:

As Paul Harvey would say "And now you know the rest of the story!"
 
Good luck with that!

Yes Hillary, it makes a difference!

 I want to do a real quick post today to express my appreciation to Arizona’s two outstanding U.S. Senators; John McCain & newcomer Jeff Flake! What a team! 

We (the Arizona voters) heard last week they would be attending a meeting here in Mesa to have a “Conversation” about the immigration reform bill that the “Gang of Eight” (of which they are both members) muscled through the U.S. Senate several weeks ago!
 
Yesterday in an eleventh hour announcement, I heard via email (addressed to “our valued customers”) from “The Arizona Republic, 12 News and azcentral.com” that the “Conversation” would be limited to “Valley Leadership & Business Groups” and would be moderated by Channel 12’s Lin Sue Cooney & Mark Curtis! And, oh by the way, unfortunately because of limited space; there would be no seating available for the general public (the Arizona voters)! Imagine that! Of course, the general public (the Arizona voters) were encouraged to follow along online;
convenient huh? 

As it turns out; it wasn’t much of a “conversation” at all!  It was very reminiscent of one of those Congressional hearings where all of the invited witnesses are sure to agree with whatever “bill of goods” that particular Congressional Committee is trying to sell us at the time. McCain’s last “town hall” didn’t go too well for him, so I guess he wouldn't want to attempt that again!  It would appear to me that this “conversation” was one that Senators McCain & Flake were not real enthusiastic about having with the general public (the Arizona voters)! You think?
 
My first clue was that it was scheduled for 10:00 AM on Tuesday; a time when most of the general public (the Arizona voters) are at work!  That would make it pretty difficult to follow online! Second clue, handpicked media; give me a break!  Third clue, handpicked audience; just who the hell are the “Valley leaders and Business Groups” and who decided which ones would be invited?

My fourth and final clue, no seating available for the general public; give me a break!  There was plenty of seating
there when I attended a meeting in that same venue last week with Arizona’s 4 U.S. House members!  Watching the
rerun on azcentral.com; I noticed there were plenty of seats open, even up front in the VIP section!  No seating
available huh?
 
Oh well!  I can’t say that I’m surprised or shocked!  It’s the kind of thing I have come to expect from McCain during his long Senate tenure (way too long I might add).  Since losing the election in 2008, McCain has been nothing more than a water boy for the Obama Administration!  Too bad he kept a muzzle on Palin; otherwise, things might have been different!

As for Flake; the jury is still out, I guess!  So far, he’s has been hard to read but, teaming up with the “gang of 8” was definitely a bad move!  He needs to get on the right side of the “Gun Control” issue and he needs to put some distance between him and the likes of McCain, Graham and the rest of those clowns!  If he doesn’t, I’ll be supporting his opponent in the next primary if his name appears on the ballot!  You can take that to the bank!
 
In summation; thanks guys, for nothing!  If it was a "conversation" then it was most certainly "a one-sided conversation" at best!  What would I call it? It was just one more “Dog & Pony Show” in typical D.C. fashion to impress the “low information voters”, who unfortunately, seem to be in the majority right now!

And a goodtime was had by all!
 
God help us!

An open letter to  Speaker John Boehner:

Dear John,

It has been said countless times that the definition of insanity is; doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result!  Since you have once again chosen to use the same failed strategy that you always have and say you expect to get a different result; you leave me no choice but, to assume that you sir, are insane!  
 
Since your first election to Speaker, you have had numerous  opportunities to standup for the American voters who elected you to do one thing; STOP OBAMACARE!  That was your promise, was it not?  Instead, at every decision point; you chose to compromise, procrastinate and “kick the can a little farther down the road”.  Any way you slice it John; that is the coward’s way out! 

You John, continue to fund ObamaCare in little bits and pieces in your deals with Obama! In return, the only thing you have gotten is another two and a half trillion dollars ($2,500,000,000,000.00) in National Debt! That’s just under twenty-two thousand dollars ($22,000.00), per person! Enough is enough John!  

You have failed at every turn!  Compromise, procrastination and “kicking the can” gets us nowhere John.  All it does is allow ObamaCare to continue and push our country farther down the road to the economic and financial disaster that is sure to come.  Your continuation resolutions do nothing more than allow Obama to go forward with his agenda while, you and “we the people” get nothing in return!
    
I am well aware that you don’t read bills before you vote on them John!  Obviously, you also didn’t read the Constitution before you took the oath to protect and defend it.  Here’s what it says John: the House (according to our Constitution) has sole power to fund (or defund) government programs!  No Senate approval needed!  No Presidential approval needed!  
 
You have a Republican majority in the House, John! You John Boehner as Speaker of the House, have sole power to decide which votes come to the floor and which votes don’t!  How about an up or down vote on defunding ObamareCare, John?  Wasn’t that supposed to be “Plan B” in case you failed to get a Senate majority in the last election? What happened to “Plan B”, John?

You have a letter signed by well over 100 members of the Republican majority in the House urging you to call an “up or down vote” to defund ObamaCare!  You have another majority; the American voters (that you have completely ignored, so far) who are urging you to do the same thing, John!  Surveys have shown repeatedly that the majority of Americans (regardless of Party) want Obamacare defunded!
 
As much as I dislike Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and everything they represent; at least they have the courage of their convictions.  That’s the only good thing I can say about either of them! Sadly John, I can’t even say that about you! 
You sir, are without doubt; the most pathetic excuse for a House Speaker in the history of our great country!

It’s time John to do what has to be done! Call an “up or down vote” to defund ObamaCare!  If you can’t or won’t; then at least have the decency to step aside and allow your fellow Congressmen to elect a new Speaker who can and will call an “up or down vote” to defund ObamaCare!
 
DEFUND OBAMACARE NOW!  
 
No funding, No Obamacare!  It’ that simple!  We’re still waiting "CRYBABY"!


P.S. Urgent request to the  Ohio voters: Can you guys find just one “Real Conservative” to run in a Primary against this disgraceful RINO next year, or do we need to send you one from one of the true “Red States”?

"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for, but one which should not only be founded on true free principles, but in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among general bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." ~ Thomas Jefferson
