america first!

I already voted for McCain/Palin! Victory tonight! It’s Over for Obama!

With response the these vids, Obama is not only not ready, he’s not qualified. If by some strange twist of fate he was elected, he’d never make it to the inauguration with Berg’s Supreme Court case challenging his citizenship.

There are actually 2 lawsuits going on regarding the BC, 1) is in Hawaii, see http://contrariancommentary.wordpress.com/

2) The Supreme Court case see: http://www.obamacrimes.com

Anyone that votes for Obama will vote for a Constitutional Crisis – if he is elected (which is unlikely at this point) he will be impeached before Inauguration Day based on his entire run for POTUS being invalid and disqualified.
No matter how you slice it — NOBAMA!

This has sure been one very long election……I’m worn out but so proud to live in this great country. I really think we are about to see the first woman VP in our history. I’m feeling lucky to be around to see it happen.
I am also amazed to spend this Election Day as a republican voter….never thought it would happen….but I am so glad it did. I’ll never see the dems, elections or myself the same way again. What an eye opener it has all been.

A proud PUMA for McCain/Palin

Those who have become accustomed to my occasional post will surely be disappointed, because I am without words.

WOW.

That’s it.

Stand up America!!!!

Great set of video’s. Here’s another Obama’s own attack ad against himself:

Folks, FYI

As most of America knows, Barack Obama is now poised to sweep to victory with at least 300 Electoral Votes, holding a massive eight point lead on average nationally over McCain at this late date. Several stories have bubbled up in the past few days, such as Obama’s comments on the coal industry, his alleged crude gesture towards McCain at a rally today and the identification of his Aunt as living in Boston, albeit without Obama’s knowledge according to his campaign. However, none of these stories seem to have the sheer force to push McCain up the giant electoral hill facing him tomorrow.

A late breaking story today could make the next 24 hours much more interesting as explosive allegations were published today in the American Spectator regarding Obama’s Aunt Zeituni Onyango (”Auntie Z”) confirming that the Obama Campaign and Mass. Governor Deval Patrick had knowledge of her illegal status and willful violation of the 2004 deportation order as early as 2007. If true, such actions by the Obama campaign and Patrick could constitute criminal acts according to Section 1324 under 8 U.S.C.A. 1324 (a)(1)(A)(iii) and (v).

The main source on for the published article regarding the Obama campaign’s knowledge of Auntie Z’s situation is an employee at AKP&D Message and Media, which is a political consulting firm employed by the Obama campaign. A secondary source for the fact that the Obama campaign was well aware of the status of Obama’s family members is an Obama campaign media aide. The gist of the allegations is that in early 2007, David Axelrod, the crack chief strategist for the Obama campaign, ordered a full investigation of all of Obama’s family members to prepare/defend against possible political attacks regarding Obama’s family during the campaign.

Obama’s position is that he had no knowledge of Auntie Z’s status as an illegal alien:

KATIE COURIC: you have an aunt who’s been living in this country apparently illegally, and your campaign says any and all appropriate laws should be followed. So would you support her being deported to Kenya?

SEN. BARACK OBAMA: If she has violated laws, then those laws have to be obeyed. We’re a nation of laws. And, obviously, that doesn’t lessen my concern for her. I haven’t been able to get in touch with her. But, I’m a strong believer that you obey the law.

According the main source at OBama’s political consulting firm, AKP&D Message and Media, here’s how Obama’s campaign came into knowledge of Auntie Z’s status and how it was dealt with:

Axelrod had actual knowledge of Auntie Z and all other relatives in early 2007, and decided to use Deval Patrick as a monitor over Auntie Z to make sure she stayed out of trouble and out of the media’s eye:

Back in early 2007, as Obama’s chief campaign strategist David Axelrod was organizing and planning the Obama campaign, he identified Obama’s unique family situation — a number of half-brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, some living overseas — as a potential problem, says an employee for Axelrod’s political consulting firm, and who has done work on the Obama campaign. “Given [Obama's] father’s family history here and in Africa, David wanted the campaign to know who was who, where they lived, and what they were doing. No surprises. We knew she was here illegally. We knew her income levels, but I don’t think anyone from the campaign had had contact with her.”

Instead, according to the source, Axelrod reached out to his former client, Patrick, who had retained Axelrod’s firm for his run for governor. Onyango was living in a state-funded housing project, “so Patrick’s people could just as easily keep track of things, and could do it without drawing a ton of attention,” says the AKP&D Message and Media employee, who requested anonymity as he hopes to get a job in an Obama administration should the candidate win. “If we had Obama people around, the media would probably have found her much sooner. She was in [Obama's] book, it wasn’t like she couldn’t be found.” Indeed, that is exactly how the London Times found her.

While the South Boston housing project is managed by the Boston Housing Authority, it is a state-funded facility, according to the BHA press office, and so it would not be uncommon for state housing officials to be on the grounds or in the area. “Patrick was the go-between, he’s trusted by David and Senator Obama,” says the aide.

An Obama campaign aide, the second source, at least partially confirms the AKP&D Message and Media employee’s account with respect to Axelrod’s knowledge of all Obama relatives:

Some Obama aides believe that Obama was briefed at least twice by Axelrod or campaign manager David Plouffe on the status of family members. “We tracked who was talking to the press, we kept in touch with some of these people,” says an Obama campaign media aide. “Anyone who thinks we didn’t doesn’t understand just how nervous we were about all of these people, particularly the members of [Obama's] father’s family. Axelrod had everything covered.” The aide said she was never present for such a briefing, but “we all knew the candidate’s family was being taken care of, to protect their privacy and try to contain any damage.”

To summarize, according to the two sources quoted by American Spectator, the Obama campaign was well aware of Auntie Z’s immigration status and presence in America in early 2007. Furthermore, if true, the Obama’s campaign used Axelrod’s client and Obama’s ally, Patrick, to keep watch over Auntie Z until after the election. The allegations of the two sources is confirmed in part by Auntie Z’s quoted response to the British press before they broke the story:

“I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”

It is well within the realm of possibility that Auntie Z would have only known to refuse comment if she was told to say that, likely by the Obama campaign. The two sources, Obama’s political consultant’s employee and the Obama campaign media aide, bolster this likely occurrance. The importance to tomorrow’s election becomes whether or not such agreement between the Obama campaign and Patrick to “monitor” Auntie Z until the election is a vioation of federal immigration laws, namely 8 U.S.C.A. 1324(a)(1)(a)(iii) and (v), which prohibit as a felony:

(a) Criminal Penalties
(1)(a) Any person who…
(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;…
(v)(I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or

(II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,

If the Obama campaign had knowledge of Auntie Z’s immigration status in early 2007, and then Axelrod worked with Patrick to suppress any uncovering of such status since then, there is an arguable violation of the statute above as such actions would each constitute an individual act which “conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien”, as spelled out in (iii) in the statute above. Any Obama campaign employees or Patrick staffers could be liable for conspiracy to commit violations of the Section 1324 and aiding and abetting violations of Section 1324 under subsection (v).

A review of case law regarding this matter tends to support the position that the Obama campaign’s activities, in conjunction with Mass. Governor Patrick, could have violated Section 1324. Indeed, the entire purpose of Axelrod’s alleged contacts with Patrick regarding Auntie Z was to suppress the public disclosure of Auntie Z’s illegal alien status and the lawful, immediate deportation under the 2004 Order. If true, the statements quoted in the American Spectator make out a prima facia case for a criminal indictment under Section 1324. As the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, U.S. v. Cantu, 557 F.2d 1173 (5th Cir. 1977) opines:

We agree with the conclusion in Lopez that section 1324 does not prohibit only smuggling-related activity, but also activity “tending substantially to facilitate an alien’s ‘remaining in the United States illegally.’ ” 521 F.2d at 441.

Jury instruction as to meaning of “shield.” Cantu requested that, in charging the jury concerning the meaning of “shield” as used in section 1324, the district judge include as a synonym the word “hide.” The judge declined to include “hide,” and Cantu contends that this refusal was error. Although “shield” and “hide” may in some contexts be synonymous, in the context of section 1324 they are not. Section 1324 forbids attempts “to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection.” Were “shield from detection” used synonymously with “hide” then “conceal” would be redundant. Therefore, the district judge did not err in omitting from his charge “hide” as a synonym for “shield from detection.”

If Axelrod coordinated with Patrick to keep watch over Auntie Z since early 2007, with knowledge of Auntie Z’s status as facing a deportation order, a prima facia case can be made under Section 1324 for a criminal indictment. Considering the seriousness of these allegations, CentristNet hopes that the mainstream media moves to ask these questions before America votes tomorrow. Moderate, centrist and independent voters will be on the edge of their seats to see what the Obama campaign and the mainstream media has to say about his interesting controversy.

The ultimate question is whether voters agree with Obama’s position that he had no knowledge of Auntie Z’s situation, or whether voters tend to distrust Obama’s position that he had no knowledge. Perhaps such issues will be irrelevant as Obama has promised not to speak wth the press until after the election. Regardless, the Auntie Z episode leaves many questions unanswered by the Obama campaign, and every centrist, independent moderate voter can only hope that the Obama campaign decides to provide information regarding their actions pertaining to Auntie Z prior to the election tomorrow.

Can we set the post-election spin? Just in case Obama wins, he should have won by a lot more in a year like this when Republicans were so hated.

The thought of Obama with a huge margin of victory does not put me at ease. It’s not sheudenfreude, but his head as we’ve witnessed has a tendency to become very untethered from the ground.

I Won’t Back Down….

A great video and post for all PUMAs. The irony will not be lost on any of you!! Thanks to Larry and Susan for all their help in making this post a reality!!!

Mahalo,

I am so grateful to Larry and all the contributors as well as the faithful commentators here at NQ. Today, when the results are contrary to all the polls and pundits and we have a President-elect McCain we can watch with delight while the media pundits squirm. We can be confident in knowing that mainstream Americans still have the common sense and values that has kept America the greatest nation on earth.

Thank you also to all who rallied, organized, supported, informed, and fed the PUMA movement. I believe that you have done more for our country than may ever be known, much less acknowledged. It’s for certain that the pundits, in their ignorance, will not admit it but, the PUMA’s along with those of us who are independents and Republicans but feel like PUMA’s are the Oct. Nov. surprise! You guys are real heroes.

Besides giving my vote to John McCain, I will be withholding my vote from my multiple term senator and my freshman representative. Here are just 2 of my reasons: 1.) They sold themselves and my state to the Obama campaign for cash and promises. Neither one had the courage to standup and speak out against the obvious corruption. And equally important, 2.) Both voted for the $700 billion + $150 billion pork bail-out bill against the wishes and best interest of the people they represent and the best interest of the country. I will be voting for their opponents.

It is time that we, as voters, accept our own responsibility for the corruption in Washington. How can we complain about a CEO being rewarded with a huge bonus after bankrupting their company when we keep rewarding politicians with our votes after they repeatedly behave in their best interest rather than of the people they are to represent. We have the power to help clean up Washington, and it is time that we show the courage to give up the “security” or the “power” we think we have by keeping congressmen/women simply because they are high on the seniority list or are of our preferred political party. We have to help John and Sarah shake things up! And we can do that by using the power of our vote. We must teach our congressmen/women that either they put country first or they will lose their privilege to go to Washington.

Finally, what is it with these forces who think that everyone should vote, must vote, period. They want government to be responsible for doing absolutely everything possible and to make it as easy as possible for every person to vote. No matter what. Vote. Disregard if a person knows who or what they are voting for. Voter rolls shouldn’t be viewed with a quantity agenda as Acorn seems to propose. Voter rolls should be grown based on providing the electorate with ample and clear information as to rights, requirements and process, and the access and process for registering and voting should not be cumbersome. But, anything beyond that is really the responsibility of the voter just like if you want a job you have to prepare and show up at work at the right place and time. A responsible voter who registers properly and shows up at the right time and place then has the right to vote for their choice regardless of what insane reasoning they may use. Of course, I would prefer that every person would make an effort to learn about who or what they are voting for but that’s another topic. Making quantity the priority is dangerous; an unmotivated voter is a voter who can be coerced, bought off, unduly persuaded or just plain old told how to vote. That’s a situation ripe for corruption and fraud.

Wow! Such powerful statements, ending with a most powerful declaration.

Thank you.
