Boy, we sure could use a modern-day Reagan right now. You are missed, President Reagan.

Marco Rubio’s Keynote Address at HLN Conference (VIDEO)

I know this is a week or so old, but for those of you who have not seen it, I would categorieze this as “must-see” video. This is from the Hispanic Leadership Network Conference in Miami Florida on January 27th. Marco Rubio is one of those Freshmen Republicans in Washington, but his star shines bright on the horizon. I expect many good things from this man in the future, and there couldn’t be a more important time in America’s history for people of Rubio’s character to become involved in politics to help right this ship.

A couple of excerpts from the transcript of the speech:

…when the choices that are put before us today are dangerous ones, because if we choose this path of pitting people against each other, if we buy into this notion that our economy really can’t grow fast enough for all of us to prosper so we’re going to have to somehow empower government to distribute the wealth of this country among us, we’ve chosen to become like everybody else. We’ve chosen to become like the countries that your parents and grandparents came here to get away from. And that’s a powerful message. And that’s the message that we need to deliver. And that’s the message we need to work on delivering. It’s a winning message, but it’s a difficult message to get to because the gateway issue of immigration stands in the minds of so many people who we live next to and love.

Question for Julianna Smoot – What’s Wrong With Karl Rove’s “Obsession?”

On Friday, Julianna Smoot from Obama’s 2012 campaign sent out an email alert titled “Karl Rove sent you a message.” This is just another of the Obama 2012 campaign emails begging for $3 for a varity of things, from a chance to have dinner with Barack and Michelle, to a chance for another dinner with Nancy Pelosi and Obama. $3 really? Would it be worth that? ! I don’t know about you all, but they’d have to PAY me to have dinner with any of these idiots. I don’t think I could keep my dinner down with Pelosi, either, so that would have to weigh in on my decision to parting with three of my hard-earned dollars. I’ll have to think on that one.

Oh, okay, I’ve decided: No thanks.

Anyway, Julianna’s email provides us with some earth-shattering, unbelievable insight into Karl Rove’s intentions for 2012. From the email (emphasis mine):

Nope 2012

Karl Rove tweeted about you.

When he heard about our Two-Term Fund, he tweeted:

Saw another @BarackObama fund appeal for $3 gift. Good mktg or forced by low enthusiasm? Bet many upset 08 donors are taking pass this year.

We often ask people for $3 because we believe as many people as possible should take ownership of the political process. It’s easy to understand why that might not compute to the guy doing a lot of the selling for a party bought and sold by special interests.

Since we launched the Two-Term Fund Wednesday afternoon, 48,481 people have stepped up and chipped in an average of $39.10 each.

Can you help — with $3 or whatever you can afford?

It’s telling that Karl Rove is planning to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the 2012 campaign — but hasn’t endorsed or worked for any of the candidates.

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!”

Paul Ryan Lays Out the Budget Political Divide on Fox News Sunday (VIDEO)

This is just another reason why I’m sad that Ryan isn’t running for POTUS this year. However, as effective and convicted as he is about budgetary matters, perhaps he can truly achieve more in the House. Either way, I’m just glad our side has such a strong proponent of capitalism and the importance of having a budget. Video courtesy Fox News Sunday:

America…PLEASE wake up to this class warfare game that the Dems and Obama are playing. Their policies are so antithetical to prosperity, it’s no wonder that those who are in the dependent classes in America fall for this tripe every time. The ones who get the goodies are the ones who vote for those who give the goodies. But sooner or later, we will all be out of goodies to give, and who will be to blame? All of us, truthfully, because we aren’t engaged in this fight as much as we should be in order to see the change we need.
