Message for Ted Cruz, Bush and Kasich

You have damaged your reputation in the Party.  You have turned out to be the same lying and say whatever it takes Politicians that the American People loath.

You took a pledge early on in the Primary process to endorse and support whomever became the nominee for the GOP.  You pushed for Trump to do the same.  You all signed it and agreed to it.  Now some of you won't even show up at the party's convention and others refuse to support the Nominee.  You have went back on your word.

You are acting like spoiled kids and this is what is wrong with the GOP.  Who cares what the American People want, you think you know better.  You think you need to tell us what we need. 

For the record, I voted for Ted Cruz in the Primary and after seeing his actions last night I am glad that he didn't win the nomination.  I am glad that I found out the type of man he is. 

Sen. Lena Taylor Smokes Pot? That explains a lot

So a former aide to Sen. Lena Taylor is releasing letters from her office that show that show that an Insurance Company would not cover the Senator because of her use of Marijuana.

I always knew she was on something.

Democrats Have Lost their Mind

I have been listening to all the noise going on about Trump's Wife supposedly plagiarizing a speech that Obama's wife gave.

There are several things that have struck me about all of this flap.

First and foremost was, "who really cares?!"  With everything that is involved with both of these Presidential Candidates, this is really something that makes headlines and causes an uproar?  With all the crooked stuff that Hillary Clinton has done, her supporters are casting stones over some sentences in a speech? By the spouse of a candidate?

Second, almost every sentence that they say was plagiarized, I have heard hundreds if not thousands of times in my life by my parents, other speakers, etc.  I would contest that Michellle Obama plagiarized from my parents.  On more than one occasion I can recall them telling me word for word what she said.  Seriously folks this is crazy.

Third, Obama himself has copied stuff from other peoples speeches as has countless other Politicians and Speakers.  Who really cares?  What difference does it really make? 

I can not believe how big of a deal that the Democrats and the Media has made out of this.  With all the other issues going on in the world today, and this takes up time of a Presidential Candidate and the media?  It is no wonder we can't solve real issues.

Will Bernie Supporters Fold their Values to Hillary?

For months Bernie Supporters have been ripping Hillary Clinton and her rigged system to the Nomination of the Democratic Party.

Now it is time to see if they were really serious or if they are just like all the other lambs out there and will now just fall in line and vote for her.  You can't have it both ways.  You can't seriously fight for change in the party and then when the establishment slaps you down, give up and fall in line.  If you truly support change then you have to be prepared to make that happen.

I think that no matter what you think of Donal Trump, you have to be amazed at what is happening in the Republican Party.  I think as a whole the American Public is sick and tired of the establishment and their failures.  Both Parties have seen their chosen nominees meet with a hard primary season and see the American Public respond.  The Democrats saw Bernie Sanders take Hillary to the brink and if not for the rigged system she would have lost out.  The American people fought the establishment and took down everything the Republicans through at them to send Donald Trump in as the nominee. 

I give it to the Republican Leadership for recognizing that the people have spoke and have begun supporting the nominee.  Yes you have people like Kasic, the Bush Family and several others who aren't supporting him, but most of them get it.  Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz and many others have in one way or another started backing him and helping him.  They understand that no matter what they may think, the American People are the ones that put him where he is. 

Unfortunately on the Democratic side the establishment has decided that they know better than the American People and have pushed Hillary Clinton instead of listening to the American people and their endorsement of Bernie Sanders. 

So the question will be, will the Bernie voters fall in line with the Democratic rigged establishment and support Hillary or fight against it?  Will they support her winning the Presidency like their party leaders want or will they boycott the party and force change?

Obama Uses Police Memorial to Push Politics

As I watched the Police Memorial in Dallas yesterday I was Extremely impressed with the Speeches by the Senator, Mayor, Chief of Police and President Bush.  They really touched on things that you talk about when you are at a Memorial.  They celebrated the lives of the Officers, Supported their families and talked about healing.

Then President Obama took to the Microphone.  I was impressed early on in the speech how he talked about the Officers and their families.  Then he decided to take a spin and turn it into a Political Stump speech.  He started talking about Black Lives Matter, Race and the shootings by Police officers.

I sat and watched in horror as the Police Officers and Families of the fallen sat visibly uncomfortable in the audience.  They stopped clapping and you could see them upset about the speech.

I have never been a big Obama Supporter obviously, but this just was absurd.  He was not a leader and he used this memorial to push his agenda.  It was sad and I felt for the families.  George Bush and the Police Chief showed more leadership and care for the Country than Obama did with much shorter speeches.  They did not pick sides, but talked of  healing and coming together.  

From a Former Listener of Talk Radio

I listened for many years to talk radio.  It was my fix for getting my political news and really enjoyed. 

Now I am a recovering listener.  I now don't turn it on and have transitioned to enjoying listening to music on my drive times. 

Over the past year I have gotten so fed up with the local talk radio that I can't stomach the craziness that it has become.  It seems that the opinions of the host is that they know better than anyone and everyone is stupid and wrong for having different beliefs and thought patterns than them.  I have been closely watching the GOP to see how they handle this convention and election.  I have always been a strong Republican and have found myself for the first time answering the question of party as Independent.  The GOP is fracturing and when people can't listen to both sides and work together, then I am not sure this party represents me anymore. 

So for now I am enjoying listening to great music on other stations and watching to see if the GOP is going to work together or fall apart.

For the Record, Democrats have just as big a mess as the GOP has going on.

The Problem with Black Lives Matter

There is a fundamental problem with the Black Lives Matter movement.  That problem stems from the name itself. 

All lives matter!  By making the movement about one race is in itself racist.  It seems to me that the movement is about what is perceived as Law Enforcements actions against people.  Does it really matter if it is against a black person, white person or anybody else?  If you only care about one race, then that in itself is racist.

The President should key in on this himself.  He wants to be a leader, but is failing miserably. 

Until you make things all inclusive then you will continue to have racism.  You can't have things that include one race and not another and then complain about racism.  It just doesn't work that way. 

Until we as a society quit having these organizations and events that are designed for one race and not inclusive of everyone, we will never take down the wall of racism.

Hillary Clinton Will not be Prosecuted over Emails

Clinton again will skate free of wrongdoing.  The FBI Director James Comey has said that they will not recommend charges for what Clinton did.  He argued that based on the evidence "no reasonable prosecutor" would even consider bringing a case.

However just just last year the U.S. Government did exactly that.  A case very similar when a Naval Reservist had classified material on Personal Devices and the FBI found no evidence that he intended any harm with the material he was prosecuted.  He was fined, put on probation and stripped of his security clearance forever.

I guess that wouldn't be good if you are trying to become the President.

This is exactly what is wrong with America today.  The Politicians want to make it about Rich vs Poor, or Black vs White.  It really isn't about that.  It is about Politicians who get away with anything and everything and none of the rules and laws that we must follow apply to them.  

Cruz Wins Wisconsin, Bernie Sanders is Big Story

Ted Cruz may have won the Republican Primary in Wisconsin, but he still failed to even get 50% of the Republican vote.  The Republican establishment and it's so called talking heads could really be setting up the end of the Republican Party.  With the "Never Trump" crowd out there and hoping for a contested Convention this very well could be a recipe for disaster for the GOP.  If Trump goes into the Convention with the Delegate lead and they choose to nominate someone else, they very well could lose all those votes and hand the General Election to the Democrats.  Trump could also run as an independent and that would also spell disaster for the GOP.  He would have every right and I think many would support it.  Also if Cruz goes in with the delegate lead you could also see a scenario where they still don't nominate him either.  The GOP is really in a lot of trouble here.

The bigger news is the win by Bernie Sanders.  Sanders not only won, he trounced Clinton 56% to 43%.  The same thing could apply to the Democrats if Sanders continues to win states and Clinton becomes the Nominee.  Will all of these Sanders supporters turn on a dime and support Clinton?

Election Time in Wisconsin

I love Politics.  I mean I really love them.  I get excited every year around election time.  However this year, I have been so frustrated.

I am so sick of listening to so called talking heads for the "Conservative Movement" telling everyone who they should and shouldn't vote for.  I am not a supporter of any particular candidate, but I most certainly won't rip a fellow Conservative for voting for someone other than the candidate I like.  I think all these people are doing is alienating those voters and making it much harder for the GOP to win in November. 

I have tuned out these talking heads after listening to them for 10 years, I am so turned off by their bias and the way they are talking down to people.  It is ridiculous and what is wrong with the GOP today.  Let the voters decide who the candidate should be and then support them.  I laugh at the people who say I will never support your candidate if they win the nomination.  Well, what do you think the response from the other side will be?  Yep, they won't support your candidate either.  So now the party is completely split and the GOP won't win.

Tomorrow will be interesting.
