Unless, of course, this third party candidate were Hillary Clinton!

Carville would be strapping on two Colt 45’s, lock n’ load, and mosey on down to the 2012 OK Corral right  behind the Secretary of State. Hillary Clinton is now, if you don’t mind my saying so, Carville’s “Main Man”.

James Carville is not, if you remember, a “Judas” like former Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico.

The Third Party Possibility was a worry I had dispelled awhile ago when Glenn Beck seemed adamant about not running for the Presidency on a Third Party ticket.

Now we have James Carville absolutely certain that someone, so far unnamed, will run against both the Republican and Democratic Candidates.

“I think,” said Glenn Beck in November of 2009,“a third party candidate is going to win in 2012!”

Was Beck talking about himself then?

No.

Beck, in 2009, mentioned Sarah Palin as a third party candidate.

Is Carville echoing the notion?

Is Sarah Palin going to tie a can on the Republican Party, organize the Tea Party into an outside threat to both Donkeys and Elephants, throw the entire election into a cocked hat and possibly have Barack Obama re-elected?!

The prospect of Mitt Romney as President of the United States seems so much like a RINO’s Obama Lite … that … well … why not?! An utterly unharnessed Sarah Palin, letting, as Nancy Reagan would suggest, Sarah be Sarah?!

She’d win!!

If Romney were the Republican candidate, I would be begging Ms. Palin to run, hoping that God’s miracle would happen and we would have a President Sarah Palin in the White House.

Michelle Bachman, if nominated, cannot win. Chris Christie could but he’s vowed not to run.

As a Third Party Candidate announcing in September, Sarah Palin could always throw her votes to the Republican candidate, if indeed it were a viable conservative who was truly conservative and pro-Life.

If the Republican nominee is Romney, Sarah gets in the ring and takes on two male opponents at the same time, revealing how unsuitable both her opponents are for the Presidency.

Unfortunately, if Sarah Palin does not run as a Republican, she wouldn’t be there to defeat Michelle Bachman in the primary. Trying to defeat Obama and another female candidate in the election … well … wait a minute … Ms. Palin could actually and simply ignore candidate Bachman.  Concentrate on Obama’s monstrosity of a first term. If she defeats Obama, she defeats Bachman.

Why?

Michelle Bachman does not carry the superstar weight of Sarah Palin, nor is she a Mamma Grizzly. Both realities will become readily apparent to everyone.

Let the Republican candidate and her Party throw their vote to Sarah Palin!!

America cannot possibly endure another four years of this Presidency. The United States would not be “transformed”.

America would be destroyed.

Never to regain its world leadership.

Ever.

Does Carville, a rabidly political animal, know something that even the Republicans don’t know about Sarah Palin? She would, indeed, be the most dangerous addition as a Third Party candidate. Her avoidance of declaring her candidacy until the last minute, possibly September, leaves us all wondering … yes … desperately analyzing what her strategies might be. As a latecomer, she’s not going to wear out her welcome, nor will she give away her debating game plan until the last minute.

Does she want to entirely avoid the Republican primary which now seems like  what the theater calls a “cattle call”. There are dwindling distinction to being a Republican candidate this year. The list has yet to have the ring of a winning roster.

Today we learned that Sarah Palin’s bus tour is on again and headed for Iowa.

Hmmm … nice display of an increasingly unpredictable free will but clearly with a winning game plan behind it. Remember how her bus tour fooled the press?! Yet, at the same time, we knew she wasn’t keeping any secrets from us!

We know what she stands for and her arrival anywhere is God’s blessing.

If the Republican Party has not begged Sarah Palin to run in its primary, the Elephants deserve to lose their trunks.

I’d almost say that America deserves to lose her as a President.

That, however, would be like saying America should never have had the privilege of knowing President Abraham Lincoln.

I’m a disgruntled exile … but I haven’t lost hope. I still believe that God’s lightning could actually strike America twice with His chosen candidate.

From a Lincoln that ended slavery to a Sarah Palin who could begin to end wholesale abortions and any new forms of legalized murder that the Progressives hope to shove down our throats.

The divine promise of the United States hasn’t been extinguished.

Our homeland’s flame still burns brightly in our hearts if no longer in the torch of Our Lady In The Harbor. The Eastern Seaboard candidates of both parties seem corrupt, tarnished or not ready to run.

Sarah Palin is not running as a candidate.

She is walking slowly, steadily and carrying a big stick called The Truth.

Many of us know the essentials of what that is but hear it most clearly from Sarah Palin.

That’s the breath of fresh air we need.

Clarity!

And the triumphantly Lincoln-like grace of simplicity.

2 plus 2 is 4.

It is not, as our Red-faced, Ivy League graduates in the Obama White House would have us believe, 4.566022299999666 ………

This shouldn’t surprise us, Hollywood is a fantasy factory – so it seems that the foreign policy experience of these folks reflects more their career than it does any true understanding of the reality of the governments they so enthusiastically defend. Recently, Hollywood liberals have found a new group of dictators to support. They now heedlessly defend the nouveau authoritarians of South America, like Hugo Chavez, Rafael Correa, and Evo Morales.

In the most recent episode, Sean Penn wrote an op-ed in Huffington Post condemning the State Department for economic sactions against Venezuela’s oil company, PDVSA. Decrying the sanctions’ unfairness, Pennsays that ‘Venezuelans live in abject poverty’. On that we agree: the plight of the poor in Venezuela is stunning. Yet Mr. Penn it seems has not stopped to think of why so many Venezuelans are so poor in such a rich country. Under Chavez’s twelve-year rule alone, Venezuela has earned close to 1 trillion dollars in oil wealth. Yet the people remain desperately poor. Lets put this in perspective, this one thousand billion dollars translates to over $130,000 per average Venezuelan family. What did Chavez do with it? It is hard to believe that after 12 years of this kind of hard income Chavez – who Penn defends so wholeheartedly – has been unable to reduce poverty. This seems to be more a reason to call for new leadership than to defend the current one. If this were the case in the United States, of a President who after holding the equivalent of three terms, as Chavez has – Mr. Penn himself would probably be calling for a change in the White House – and rightly so.

This further illustrates the double standard of armchair experts and coddlers of corrupt despots. They seem willing to accept dictatorships of the left if those regimes justify their authoritarianism in the name of “equality” or “social justice.” Every dictatorship in history has had to justify its abuses, even the most brutal – Mussolini made the trains run on time, Stalin brought modern factories and electricity to rural Russia and Hitler eliminated inflation and unemployment and built the Autobahns. Oh, yes, they also perhaps went a bit far in how they “persuaded” their populations that the regime meant well.

Hollywood liberals praise the perception of Third World “socialist” programs without ever having to experience the reality. It is easy to praise Chavez’s inadequate housing programs from the comfort of a Malibu mansion, or Castro’s medical system while being attended by the best doctors in California when the reality is that an ordinary Cuban being operated in a Cuban hospital for ordinary citizens has to take his or her own bedsheets, sutures, and even aspirin to the hospital. But those are not the Cuban hospitals that appear in Hollywood’s films, like Michael Moore’s “Sicko”. The hospitals in Hollywood’s make-believe world are reserved for tourists and others who pay in foreign currency (even the hated American Dollar). Those facilities are clean, well-stocked and modern. They also do not allow Cubans, except high-ranking members of the Cuban Communist Party, Government or Armed Forces.

That is bad enough, but when it comes to freedom, Hollywood types are noticeably quiet. They live in the world’s epicenter of free speech, enjoying immense power and privilege provided them by capitalism – and use that position to decry the very system which made them wealthy. Yet they say nothing when TV stations are shut down or taken over (for example, 3 in Venezuela, 3 in Ecuador, 2 in Nicaragua) or when excellent movies made by skilled filmmakers are denounced as “imperial plots” (as in the case of Secuestro Express in Venezuela – a movie that would have won at Cannes several years ago but was vetoed by the Chavez government for allegedly showing a “negative vision” of Venezuela). Instead of standing with their colleagues – those in the entertainment industry – they say nothing as dictators control free expression and as ordinary citizens (should we call them “audiences?”) are denied the right to watch, read or listen to what they want.

Naturally, Hollywood (and Mr. Penn) have the right to say what they will – something that is not the case in the countries they so freely defend. But it is way past due that those who defend the liberties that Mr. Pennenjoys point out the inconsistencies in their logic.

Finally, with regards to the sanctions on PDVSA, Chavez willingly brought these problems on himself. The sanctions were imposed by the US on a half-dozen countries and companies, including PDVSA, that have financial and energy ties with Iran, ties that in the opinion of the US Congress and Administration help finance Iran’s terrorist activities around the world.

If Mr. Penn has such an excellent relationship with Hugo Chavez, and if Chavez is equivalent to “the US President” as Penn states, he could perhaps use his access to convince the Venezuelan dictator to cease dealing with the anti-semitic and repressive government of Iran, for the good of the Venezuelan people who Mr. Penn seems to care about so much. Should he do so, however, I imagine Mr. Penn would find himself unwelcome in Hugo Chavez’s workers’ paradise.

Basically, an in-kind contribution is a perfectly legal way around fundraising limits where you help your candidate and/or party in a way that doesn’t qualify as a legal contribution. For instance, GE contributes to Democrats through an in-kind contribution we like to call MSNBC. Same with AOL through the Huffington post. And…

Same with Hollywood. During the Bush years, the film industry did something it had never done before and that’s bring to life anti-American/anti-war propaganda films while America was still fighting that war. Long after the first few films had flopped, more were still greenlit — and in the case of “Green Zone” at the price of $100m more — in order to bring down Bush, aid Democrats, and lift the Leftist cause. At the time they thought they were aiding Hillary. But once Obama came along, same difference.

And here’s why they were willing to risk all that money and further alienate 50% of their customers…

The President could attend as many as three moneymaking events in a 24-hour period during his visit to Hollywood this month. …

Invitations have already gone out for a 4:30 p.m. event that day at Sony Pictures Studios, though Sony is only the venue, not the host. VIP seating is $2,500, and general admission is $250. Event chairs, hosts and other details haven’t been worked out.

But Katzenberg also is arranging a “high-dollar dinner” that night that he would co-host with Spahn and others. Insiders say Spielberg and Geffen would likely attend.

Depending on how the fundraising dinner is classified under campaign finance laws, it could cost each Hollywood A-lister as much as $30,400 apiece to dine with the president. ….

“Early response is so encouraging that they’re trying to throw together a third event,” an insider said.

Hollywood players are multi-millionaires and near-billionaires with more money than they know what to do with. There’s no way they’re going to restrict their contributions, and frankly they don’t have to when they control the levers of the storm and fury of motion pictures.

Contrast that with WWII when mostly Republican studio heads bit the bullet for their country and got behind both the war and FDR (who many loathed) after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Those men were imperfect, but they were Americans before they were Republicans. This new batch is just, well, imperfect.

No, those strong words are not about my new mesh thong ( I’m only giving the people what they want). And they aren’t reactions to the mosque built near Ground Zero. They are responses to the putrid pastor’s plans to burn the Quran this Saturday, Sept 11th.

And I agree with all of them. The dude, Rev. Terry Jones, is an attention seeking sack of poop who’s accomplished everything he wanted: He put his morbidly mustachioed face all over the map – and embarrassed everyone from Gainesville, Florida. I’ve been trying to do that for years.

But in a weird way, this handle-barred hooligan has taught us a few lessons:

1. That mostly everyone agrees the pastor can burn the book, but he’s a big weenie if he does it. This was exactly my argument over the construction of the mosque. So in a weird way, this guy may have clued in others who missed that subtle point: The mosque can be built, but a compromise (or a conversation about it) might have been nice. Don’t get me wrong: the Koran burning is pure provocation, and I’m not sure that’s entirely the case with the mosque. But both issues deal with poor judgment. The key distinction: the pastor is a total barfpuck.

2. America’s reaction to this idiot should be a blueprint for all Muslims, when one of their religious jackasses act up. There was no delay in smacking this fuzz-faced freak around, and frankly I’d like to see more of that from Muslims, whenever one of their extremists rears its ugly head.

3. I’d also like to see that from our own government. I mean, it doesn’t take much bravery to take down a stereotypical wackjob like Jones. However, going after PC-protected knuckleheads takes more stones. But that may be asking too much.

And if you disagree with me, lets party, you racist homophobe.

Ed. Note: Starting in August ‘Obama Nation’ moves to its new permanent home at Big Government,

The film’s first 45 minutes deals with the Iowa Caucus where Obama’s campaign begins. He spends eight months meeting people and working his bland charm, trying to convince everyone he’s just like them. An agreeable, prosaic kind of guy who looks good in a suit and grins a lot. There is no indication of his politics or past associations being radical. He seems a moderate. There are a few people interviewed who question his past, but it’s given little attention.

Obama coasts through his campaign like some kind of prom king who’s used to people throwing rose petals at his feet. Michelle is shown as being the supportive wife and the kids are along for the ride. It’s an image of the family that goes along with the narrative they created for themselves. The film makers said in interviews that they were impressed by how zen-like the Obama team seemed to be. My impression was they never seemed that emotionally engaged. Obama often smiled, but he was generally very detached, almost like he was coasting to victory on a wave of hubris. Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod were shown as two tired-looking, almost bored middle aged guys wrangling Obama’s scruffy young ideologues as they tried to get more voters on their side.

Obama’s “genius” as a politician is to be a blank slate for people who didn’t know him. They projected their own aspirations and expectations on his candidacy. He appeared at a time when people were afraid the economy was tanking and they didn’t see answers in the usual faces running for president. They were able to see Obama as someone calm and in control. An image he was able to maintain throughout the race.

Isn’t it funny how looks are often deceiving?

The film’s villain wasn’t so much John McCain but Hillary Clinton, who gave Obama his biggest fight. Yes, the revealing thing about this doc was how Obama seemed to be largely unaffected by the ups and downs of the race. Part of that comes from the fact that Obama was “selected and not elected.” He won caucuses, Hillary won elections. Obama was able to get enough delegates by caucuses to appear the leader in the race. Then momentum carried him home.

Obama’s career has been full of opportunities and awards handed to him on a platter. And when that doesn’t work, he uses underhanded tricks.

The film is a lot like Obama himself: bland, humorless and full of meaningless platitudes. But it looks nice.

And that’s the problem with ObamaMania. The Dems threw Hillary Clinton under the bus because many of them didn’t like her baggage, yet these same people, who screamed bloody murder about President Bush’s missing National Guard records, didn’t even blink at the fact that Obama has locked away so many things in his past and denied his associations with America-hating radicals. Yet his cabinet is full of those very same kind of people. Which brings us to the two most hilarious statements Obama made in the campaign, which were repeated in the film:

“People are tired of fear, distractions and diversions.” and “They (the people) don’t deserve four more years of failed economic policies.”

No wonder his poll numbers are dropping. He’s right!

The irony of this show was that it debuted on the night Obama was given a glimpse of his political future. Major losses were handed to the Dems. And over on ABC, a remake of the ’80s sci fi show “V” was aired, only this time it was a comment on ObamaMania. Attractive aliens come to earth and promise “universal health care” and hope and change in return for our trust and devotion. Little do the foolish earth people know, the aliens are here to destroy us.

Don’t you hate it when that happens?
