I Vote The Elephant Blogroll
2008-05-20 07:30:00 UP AND RUNNING - SORT OFThe I Vote the Elephant met an untimely and un-deserved tragic fate this evening. Thanks to Paul Cruce I was able to catch it before too many hours went by. I had to go back and recreate the logo (which now sucks) and find a place for the code. Right now it's right here. I've tried to email everyone who is on the blog roll with the new information. I'm getting a few bounced emails and some spam traps. If you have not been able to get the new code - deal with this ...

Today’s Strange Incident
2008-05-19 21:35:00 KICKED OFF BLOGROLLSSomething has happened today and I’m not quite sure how to handle it. Evidently I’ve stepped on a few toes with what I’ve said about conservatives these past few days. If you will notice the right column of the Pink Flamingo you will notice it is much “thinner”. I’ve been kicked off a few blog-rolls this morning. It has hurt my feelings. I guess I thought it was acceptable to tell the truth. It makes me feel bad because I’ve always held this specific individual up as an example of what an honorable independent conservative is. I ... More About: Strange , Incident
Non Republican Conservatives Are Causing Problems for the GOP
2008-05-19 21:26:00 THE INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY OF THE FAR RIGHTThis is yet another in the series I am doing on how non Republican conservatives are destroying the GOP. The past part looked at the sources of the problem. Today we examine how pervasive the problem is. This is another of those pieces where I've been working on for several weeks. The most important lesson we can take to the ballot box this political season is the fact that there is an energized conservative movement that is completely independent of the GOP. They are made up of several factions I will detail below. ... More About: Conservatives , Problems
Is This The Year of The Old Guys?
2008-05-19 04:31:00 SUNDAY, MAY 18There is a very nice, thick covering of the white stuff on the mountains! I’d say there’s at least 6 inches to a foot in the ski area! I’m cutting my daily blogging short today for a change. I’m going to quit early and go read – or something - maybe. I spent about 2 hours composing an article about the new Zogby hit poll on John McCain. I made the mistake of composing it on Blog Harbor and not on word. I went to save it and lost the whole article. Let’s just say the whole ... More About: Guys , Year

Glorious Rain this Afternoon!

There is Nothing Wrong With Being A Conservative or a Republican
2008-05-18 05:12:00 SEPARATING CONSERVATIVES & REPUBLICANSI am known as a cynical, conservative "hating" witch with a "B". It is true, I no longer trust anything with a "conservative brand". I am am angry with these people for having infiltrated and destroyed much of my beloved GOP. I am angry with good, decent conservative Republican s for falling for their line of BS. Unfortunately there is a very nasty little bottom line here. Good, decent conservatives have been manipulated, co-opted, and some just downright purchased by one of two or both manipulators and puppetmasters. The first is Sun Myung Moon. When you start ...

When Did “Conservative” Mean Goose-Stepping Loss of Individuality?
2008-05-17 07:14:00 MOVEMENT CONSERVATIVESYesterday evening I finally realized one of the problems bothering me when it comes to today’s non-Republican conservatives. How about a quote from Ann Coulter: “…And I think what happened today demonstrates that the movement conservatives, or the radical right wing as we're being called, is the one with the power in this relationship, the power in the country. That is to say, as I have been arguing since the Roberts nomination, yes, it would be fine if Bush nominated a wonderful, qualified conservative like Janice Rogers Brown.

Who Ordered the Conservative "Hit" on Lindsey?
2008-05-17 04:41:00 SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTUREQuin Hillyer wrote one of the nastiest hit pieces I’ve seen to date against Lindsey. Naturally he is channeling Michelle Malkin who has this pathological hatred of Lindsey. I think it’s because she dislikes anything Hispanic and Lindsey is not exactly a bigot, and sorta implied that she and her precious little friends are. I guess since she is promoting Buddy Witherspoon, we all know who is handling her leash – the John Tanton crowed. She’s also part of what I call the Dump Lindsey Movement.

The hectic but repetitive routine of presidential campaigns often seems to consist entirely of back and forth charges between candidates, punctuated by photo ops, debates and the occasional policy speech, followed by another barrage of accusations and counter accusations, formulated into the soundbites preferred by cable news producers.

Mark Levin Betrays the GOP
2008-05-15 07:09:00 CONSERVATIVE NOT REPUBLICANFor months I've been telling you that there are certain conservatives who are no more Republican than Barack Obama is. Mark Levin just proved me correct. This is the WORST piece of you know what I've ever heard. This needs to end - now. Right now I am absolutely furious. I don't know when I have been so angry. We are dealing with people who are so warped that they do not comprehend they have destroyed the "brand" they once embraced. Maybe Mark Levin needs to go back and read the Contract with America.

John McCain's "Evil" Sell-Out on Global Warming?

Consequently, when I found this fascinating little article on one of the unarticulated reasons our gas prices are so high, I had to investigate a little. Well, it appears as though Strieber might be correct. He wrote: “…The reason for this is that Asian demand remains explosively high due to ...
