Nightly Ramble: They’re Both Correct, a Lot of Bull,Next Came the Hispanics, Reno, Rezko, And the Reject

  • I see where Romney and McCain are trading insults [1], both saying to one another, that they’re liberal. Of course, long term readers of this blog will understand something many other have not yet… they’re both correct.
  • I hear there’s a lotta bull in Cincinnati [2]
  • Tottne talks about our last Mission in Falujah [3]  Remember, the left is trying to tell us this is not progress.
  • Well, after alienating blacks on South Carolina, you could pretty much expect to see Hillary Clinton pandering to Hispanics, and perhaps even trying to fake speaking Spanish. This would be true regardless of the pressure [4] currently being put on her by the Hispanic groups on her statements about ‘shipping them back’.   She’s eben back and forth over the line on this topic sooften the line itself is showing the wear and tear. What wasn’t expected was Obama trying to strike first by proposing and promoting the idea of driver’s licenses for illegals. [5] I wonder if he’s not just done the dog, here. OK, yeah, he talks about linking such a proposal to tougher legislation on illegals within the first year.  How Clintonesque of him. Didn’t Bill Clinton offer tax cuts within the first year, and go back on the promise within 48 hours of assuming office?
  • Not to suggest that such nonsense only happens on one side of the isle, and I know we’ve mentioned this guy before, today, but did you know that  John McCain’s Hispanic outreach director is a Mexican Citizen? [6]
  • Janet Reno has endorsed Hillary Clinton. [7]  No surprise. I hear, though, that support is a little shaky.
  • Tony Rezko has been arrested [8]. What will be amazing is the number of people photographed with him, that say they don’t know him. Democrats, mostly. Again, this is Chicago, we’re talking about.
  • OK, so Krugman is convinced [9], as he is every time someone not a Democrat is in the White House, hat the economy is in shambles. Well, let’s review a few things. Personal income is up to the tune of 6%.  Before the stimulus package, real GDP is projected to grow 3.5% in 2008, and the likelihood of recession is at 10%. With the stimulation offered the last week or three, those numbers look remarkably better still.  Indeed, we’re looking at a large economic growth curve for 2008.  If you’re concerned about the prime mortgage mess.. the one the Demorats in Congress caused trying to ‘help the poor’, let’s consider that the total capital outlay even if they ALL go belly up is 0.3%. That’s hardly worrisome.  More at the WSJ, today. [10]  Too bad Krugman has to deal with nasty facts that don’t fit his myopic worldview, huh?
