This'n'That; September Fourth #1; Differences

No Matter Whom You Prefer....
    ....there are similarities and differences between the two candidates for election, re-election.  As my 'constitutionalist' proclivities demand, I show more defference toward the republicRATic candidate; more distain toward the obamacRATic candidate, that's just the way it is.
    One similarity is both candidates seem to forget that any and all presidents are--by oath of office--required
"....to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." 
It's my opinion that the word 'preserve' in the oath is defined as adhering to the basic rights and demands of the document.  Each time a president--of any party--sits to sign a piece of legislation into law, the first phrase that should come to his (or her) mind is: 
"Where in the Constitution is this authorized?"
    Another similarity is both candidates are--or have, in the past--campaigning as ideological moderates, middle-of-the-roaders.  In obama's case--as America's current ruler--how he campaigned in 2008 was certainly indicative of his future governance.  Sometime, soon after the swearing-in ceremony, Mr obama took a hard-left turn, swerving--willy-nilly--into national socialism.  Mr Romney--in my view--is campaigning as a middle-of-the-roader, not a place the country needs him to be.  To fix the national economy, to put many more Americans to work and back to work, the country would fare far better with having a president who will govern from a position farther to the right.  He doesn't have to be as far right as I am; just not a moderate!!
    If we're to believe Mr Romney's rhetoric and Mr obama's actions, one will have the nation's best interests at heart, the other will have his own narcissistic personal and political gains at heart.  Who becomes the victor wholly depends on the numbers that support each, how much they believe of the rhetoric and the actions.  We have the Romney record as Governor of Massachusetts as well as the obama record as Ruler of the United States with which to guide our decisions, neither of which is a glowing recommendation for advancement.  Rather than take several pages to illustrate the pros and cons of their individual methods of governance, the voter might glean more insight by reviewing each party's 2012 campaign platform.
The obamacRATic's party platform, with the slogan "Moving America Forward," thus:

Rebuilding Middle Class Security

1.  Putting Americans Back to Work
2.  The Middle Class Bargain
3.  Cutting Waste, Reducing the Deficit, Asking All to Pay Their Fair Share
4.  Economy Built to Last

America Works When Everyone Plays by the Same Rules
1.  Wall Street Reform
2.  21st Century Government: Transparent and Accountable
3.  Lobbying Reform and Campaign Finance Reform

Greater Together
1.  Strengthening the American Community
2.  Protecting Rights and Freedoms
3.  Ensuring Safety and Quality of Life

Stronger in the World, Safer and More Secure At Home
1.  Responsibly Ending the War in Iraq
2.  Disrupting, Dismantling, and Defeating Al-Qaeda
3.  Responsibly Ending the War in Afghanistan
4.  Preventing the Spread and Use of Nuclear Weapons
5.  Countering Emerging Threats
6.  Strengthening Alliances, Expanding Partnerships, and Reinvigorating International Institutions
7.  Promoting Global Prosperity and Development
8.  Maintaining the Strongest Military in the World
9.  Advancing Universal Values

The republicRATic's party platform with the slogan "We Believe In America," thus:   1.  Restoring the American Dream: Rebuilding    the Economy   and Creating Jobs

2.  We The People: A Restoration of Constitutional Government

3.  America’s Natural Resources: Energy, Agriculture and the Environment

4.  Reforming Government to Serve the People

5.  Renewing American Values to Build Healthy Families, Great Schools and Safe Neighborhoods

6.  American Exceptionalism

  With that, we--both you and I--have a lot of reading to do; a lot of mental digesting to do!

This'n'That; August Thirtieth #2; Rush For Fun!

Ya Gotta Check From Time-To-Time!
    If you don't check Rush Limbaugh's website for the articles, at least check it for the illustrations.  Some are 'a real hoot,' like this one:

"The Election IS A Refrendum on obama;" August 29-30, 2012

or this one:

obama Denegrating Governor Romney in Iowa with Impunity; August 29-30, 2012

and this, one of Rush's Pearls of Wisdom:

August 29-30, 2012

 and this 'pearl:'

August 28, 21012

or this one:

"Ronaldus-Magnus" speaking at the 1980 RepublicRAT Convention

as well as Dennis Miller 'schooling' Jay Leno on obama's "War on Women."
    Not only a lot of information, a lot of entertainment!!

This'n'That; August Twenty-Nineth #1; Rules, SCHMules!

Why This?!?  Why Now?!?
    The 'big stink' going into the republicRATic convention:  Control of Conservative delegates. In addressing this, some idiot somewhere, decided that a rules change is required to 'control' those evil conservatives, i.e., the "Tea Party" Movement, forgetting that said conservatives gave the GOP it's majority in the House of Representatives.
    The rules change controversy involves the presumptive nominee's ability to control each states' nominating delegates to--and at--the convention.  Initially, one must attempt to understand the complicated formula used to determine each state's total number of nominating delegates. An example of the formula used to determine Texas' delegate contingent can be found here. 
    The contention is that the Rules Committee wants to change the RNC rules (Rule 15, [being renumbered to Rule 16]) to give future presidential candidates the ability to veto who can be state delegates to the national convention.  This is a blatant attempt by inside-the-Beltway political hacks to negate the mounting power of said "Tea Party" Movement by having a stranglehold on the entire political process.  Many opponents to said rules changes are not just "Tea Party" Movement members, but come from all across the 'republicRATic' political spectrum, including long-time conservatives, party 'regulars' as well as lots of Romney supporters.  This blatant attack by the 'Karl Roves' and the 'John Sununus' to gain control of the process is at the expense of the voices--and support--of conservative American voters!!
    Thus far, it seems this obama-style tactic won't fly with the saner minds on the RNC Rules Committee.  One can only hope!  How can anyone think ANY SANE AMERICAN would stand for socio-fascist control from the right?!?  Especially since we've already had three-plus years from the 'control-master,' HIMSELF?!?

This'n'That; August Second #1; Major Anniversary!

EIB Network Begins Twenty-Fourth Year
    Yesterday--August First--Rush Hudson Limbaugh III began his twenty-fourth year as the "Excellence in Broadcasting" Network's original, primary and ONLY regular, full-time host of 'The Rush Limbaugh Show!'  Dire predictions of his longevity have been pontificated upon since the show's debut on August 1, 1988.
    Each time there's been a change--or a pending change--in the Oval Office (Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush {41}, George W. Bush {43}); or in the Ovary Office ("Slick-Willie" Clinton) or in the Offal Office ("Clown Prince" obama, as  choreographed by The Bilderberg Group) said pontificateurs have blathered:
"What will Rush Limbaugh talk about now?!?" 
"With (the outgoing president or the imminent defeat of the current ruler) gone, this will be the end of Rush Limbaugh!"
    With each passing year, the socio-fascist, marxist, communist, members of the left's media, Senate and House of Representatives et al, have predicted Mr Limbaugh's downfall, to no avail.  At the start of the show's national sindication, a 'hand-full' of stations were on-board; today the count is up to 612--and growing--radio stations carrying the program; the vast majority live (without 'tape delay').  As some kind of broadcasting record, 'The Rush Limbaugh Show (or 'Program,' as it's sometimes called) reaches over 20,000,000 listeners a week.
    Ever the provocateur, Rush has never shied away from any topic, be it President Bush's (41) overcoming (as conjured up by Newsweek) 'The Wimp Factor,' to "Slick-Willie" boinking Monica Lewinsky in the Ovary Office, to
'the Armed Forces Radio (AFRTS, later AFN)' controversy, to the 'Michael J. Fox' controversy, to the 'Barack, the Magic Negro' controversy, to the 'Phony Soldiers' controversy, to the "I Hope He Fails (obama's policies)" controversy, and on, and on....
    I--personally--was a late-comer to the program; my then-wife--the ever infamous 'Dragon Lady'--had a half-hour commute to and from work, coming home during the midnight hour.  She caught the show on a late night re-broadcast and turned me on to him.  I've been a faithful listener since about 1989-'90.
    So.... in conclusion:  Don't let'em git'cha down, Rush, keep the 'good-word' coming!!  Much congratulations; much continued success!!
