While Our Divorced Parents Fight & Embarrass Us in Public, I’m Taking This Time to Test Out Some New Themes For My Site

From the Desk of MsU ~

As you all know who have been reading (or trying to read) my blog lately, I have been suffering from several things: On a brief hiatus; recovering from a debilitating health problem; having problems with bad HTML codes; experimenting with new themes for customization (with as little of a financial impact on me as possible, which is very key); and a slight burnout on these embarrassing weeks of GOP on GOP in-fighting.

I gotta tell ya folks; this kind of reminds me of something a friend of mine recently went through. She and her siblings agreed to meet with their now-divorced parents for dinner. While at the restaurant after exchanging shallow pleasantries, her parents began immediately engaging in loud and boisterous arguing about what the other had done wrong in the marriage. Dad was yelling at mom, and mom was yelling at dad, and it wasn’t meant, quite clearly, to bridge any relationship gaps that had formed since their divorce many years ago.

As the other patrons at the restaurant were clearly becoming more and more uncomfortable at the tenor of the fight, my friend and her siblings found themselves sinking lower and lower in their chairs. They were PRAYING for the food to come so hopefully the food would shut the mouths of their parents and stop them from this very public debacle. But that didn’t happen. The food came and sat there while they continued to bellow at each other, while all the kids gave each other that knowing look – “we gotta get out of here!”

So quietly, as the arguing continued, the children got up slowly attempting to appear as they needed to go to the restrooms, all the while knowing they were headed out the door. Their parents didn’t even notice. And that was fine with the kids. They found themselves reaching the door, slipping quietly out, and as soon as the doors shut, they turned and yelled at the restaurant doors: “WILL YOU BOTH PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP?” They knew their parents couldn’t hear them, but they just had to say it. Mom and dad embarrassed the HELL out of them! They decided they couldn’t take it anymore, and they were just delighted to be out of earshot of the warring sides.

That, my friends, is how I feel today about the mud-slinging that is going on between Mitt & Newt. And you know who the losers are? We, the American People. The sad part? So many of us are so disgusted we might just stay at home and refuse to meet them at the “restaurant” EVER AGAIN! You know who that helps? Barack Obama. Yet we are so tired of the pettiness of the primaries at this point, we just don’t give a damn. Yes, at the end of the primary, we will almost certainly go whole-hog behind the GOP nominee because we know America cannot survive another term of Barack Obama, but we will NEVER forgive our “parents” for doing this to us in the first place.

Have all elections before this been nasty and unseemly? Of course. But this is such a crucial time that we cannot afford to chance ANYTHING! I know we have nine months to go until the election, but I almost cannot bear the thought of even 2 more months of this going on. I’m a news junkie, and I listen to talk radio all day at work. But lately, I’ve been listening to music and only music…I have to escape for a while to retain my sanity. I even hate the negative attack ads on TV and radio, but there is one possible upside to all of this; hopefully everything that can be dug up about Newt, Mitt and Santorum will be dug up before the general election begins.

The one thing I do know, however, is when the general election does begin, the Obama machine will probably wipe all of our collective memories clean of all the primary filth that was washed across our TV screens each day and night. It will bring campaign politics to an all-time low, as the O Machine will have more cash than any campaign ever before, and will have surrogates across all mediums including Hollywood, the mainstream media, the Race Pimp Industry and its leaders, MSNBC, the liberal press (both print and online), the music industry, Oprah Winfrey, George Soros, the Unions, Van Jones, Podesta’s “Center for American Progress,” and too many others to mention.

I am convinced that the DNC and leftists in general were wholly and completely behind the demise of Herman Cain. I’ve known Herman Cain for a while, and every single tramp that was trotted out by Gloria Allred, or who came out on their own (anonymously), were all lying about what they said about Herman Cain. If what Cain did to them was SOOOO egregious, where is Gloria now? Where is Sharon Bialik now? If these women were so aggrieved, why aren’t they continuing to pursue Herman now? Because they have NOTHING to prove he is guilty of what they accused him. Gloria is a feminazi publicity whore, and I see she has now moved on to bigger and better things now. Does this woman have no shame? Oh, wait… that’s right, she doesn’t. How does she manage to sleep at night? Hey, I know…PROBABLY ALONE – EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!

And do you know why they had to destroy Herman Cain so quickly? Because even though they thought Herman couldn’t win the primary, he could possibly continue onward and perhaps get a nod for V.P. for one of the others. And the one thing the Obama campaign and the DNC needed to keep in their arsenal was the race card. So for them to get rid of Herman early was priority number one. They couldn’t stand to see a successful black man, who was a conservative man of faith, with a wife of 43 years and LOADS of successful business experience. Herman, I was rooting for you, and prayed for you to stay in for the distance and fight the left. However, I know what you’ve been through with your health and everything else – you did what you had to do. After all, as you’ve often said, family comes first. Your wife Gloria is one of the luckiest women alive. Mz. Allred has disgraced her good first name. I am happy you don’t have to put up with this crap anymore, Herman, but this country is going to miss out on having you as someone of prominence in national government where you could truly make a difference.

Make no mistake, however. Whomever winds up being the general election candidate would be wise to consider you for any of the many Cabinet secretaries, for which you would be a tremendous asset: Treasury, OMB, DOD, Commerce, Energy, just to name a few.

But I digress. If you see some differences on my site in the near future, please bear with me as I experiment with it. I am not completely ignoring politics, but like my friend’s parent, right now I’m just embarrassed and want them to shut the hell up. I’ll keep one eye on the news, the other eye on the blog.

I pray this country can make it through the next year, and I hope we can make Obama a true one-term president. Because I’m afraid if we don’t, a “lame duck” Obama presidency will be the most single dangerous thing our country has ever seen, and I’m not so sure we can make it through it without becoming a failed pseudo-socialist state, sinking alongside the other European countries.

Al Ramirez Considering Running for CA. 36th District to Unseat Democrat Jane Harmon

Cross-posted from a dear friend’s blog. If you don’t know Kender, you are missing out. Please help him out in supporting Al Ramirez’s attempt to unseat Jane Harmon in California.

Al Ramirez, who we last saw running in the primary against Cary Fiorina to unseat Barbara Boxer is considering a run for California’s 36th District. Many times in the last election I heard Fiorina was the best candidate possible as she had the most appeal to independents and could self fund, which turned out to be poppycock. Fiorina was beaten soundly by Boxer and in fact, statewide elections walloped the GOP here in California.

Why? Several reasons. California has a large Hispanic population, and frankly the GOP cannot win without their support. Al Ramirez brings the support of the Hispanic community. The GOP, as has been pointed out ad nauseum, must also appeal to voters under 50. Al Ramirez is under 50 and will appeal to the demographic. Even though he is under 50 Al Ramirez is just the kind of American Success story the California Republican Party (CRP) should be backing in this race. But more about Al Ramirez and his success story later. The final thing the GOP need to do well here in California is to win in Los Angeles County.

That’s a hard thing to do, for several reasons. The county is largely Hispanic for one thing, and Hispanics tend, for some reason, to vote democrat when the vote is for a person and conservative when the vote is for an issue. Witness the last election. Even though democrats stormed Sacramento handily, the propositions on the ballot went heavily in favor of the conservative wishes. The Hispanic vote had a lot to do with that, just like it had a lot to do with Prop. 8 a couple of years back.

As I said earlier, Al Ramirez is the American Success Story. Frank DeMartini over at RedState has worked with Mr. Ramirez and has a great article on this as well here and you can read more about the accomplishments of Al Ramirez here.

Al Ramirez brings is the right person at the right time in the right place. I for one would like to see the CRP throw their weight behind him so we can take back the 36th District and turn this state around.

Follow Al Ramirez on twitter and facebook.

Keep up the good work, Kender… we need all the help we can get on the left coast. :-)

Herman Cain Talks With Sean Hannity About Potential 2012 Presidential Run (VIDEO)

If anybody wants to know why Herman Cain should run for the GOP candidate for President in 2012, just Google his name. THE Herman Cain is a superstar in business and a common-sense thinker. He leads his own “Intelligent Thinkers Movement,” a.k.a. “H-I-T-M” a.k.a. “Hit ‘em, Herman!”


Learn all about him at his website HermanCain.

Stark Co. OH Treasurer Candidate & Wild Man, Phil Davison, on RedEye (VIDEO)

Oh, I can DEFINITELY see an ongoing RedEye segment featuring wild-man Phil Davison, who is famous for his over-the-top speech to the Stark Co. OH GOP as a candidate for Treasurer. Needless to say, Davison didn’t get the nomination, but boy it sure made for some must-see TV (and subsequent YouTube goodness).


Perhaps Gutfeld could call the segment “Fightin’ the Power with Phil.” Just a thought on this prospect at comedy gold for the 3AM show on FNC.

Herman Cain Treats Bloggers at the AFP Summit to a Sit-Down Interview (VIDEO)

One of the guest speakers for the mid-day Opening Session luncheon, Herman Cain, popped in to the AFP Bloggers’ Row, and to our tremendous surprise, he was willing to give us all a sit-down interview. The whole group got to ask him questions, one at a time, about what his political plans are for the future, and solutions he would propose to fix the problems in our nation today.

For those of you who don’t know Herman, he’s a much-beloved Atlanta talk show host on WSB Radio. He’s also a staunch proponent of the Fair Tax. Herman Cain has quite an impressive bio, and here is just a portion of it from his website:

In 1986, Pillsbury appointed Cain to the presidency of the then financially troubled Godfather’s Pizza, Inc. chain headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. In 14 short months, under Cain’s leadership, the chain regained profitability. In 1988, he led his executive team in a buyout of the company from Pillsbury.

Cain was elected to the Board of Directors of the National Restaurant Association in 1988. In 1994 to 1995, he served as Chairman of the Board of Directors. While leading this association, he developed the organization into a pro-business voice via national debates and speeches concerning health care reform, employment policies, and taxation. Following this experience, he was appointed to serve on the Economic Growth and Tax Reform Commission in addition to serving as Chairman and Member of the Board of Directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He then became a senior advisor to the 1996 Dole/Kemp campaign for the Presidency.



Herman Cain continued the responsibilities of President and Chairman of Godfather’s Pizza, Incorporated, while beginning a second career delivering national keynote speeches. Using his messages as the foundation, he created his own leadership consulting company, The THE New Voice, Inc. THE New Voice packages his speaking and develops his products, including books, DVDs, CDs of gospel music, and promotes his keynote speeches. He has authored four books to date on topics ranging from leadership to self-empowerment including Leadership is Common Sense and CEO of Self.

Herman is a force to be reckoned with, and as I Tweeted during the AFP Summit, Herman told us at the Georgia Luncheon he’s gone from being in “prayerful consideration” to running for President in 2012, to now being in “serious consideration.” And for those of you who don’t know Herman like Georgians know Herman, I’d pay good money to see a debate between him and our current POTUS. Obama wouldn’t know what hit him. And Herman doesn’t need a teleprompter, either.
