Beto RUNNING in 2020 - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Beto O'Rourke IS running for president in 2020 and will make his official announcement tomorrow - hot on the heels of his Vanity Fair cover that teased his 'road to the White House' "

Lets Get Real:

The first impression one gets of Beto O'Rourke is that he reminds you of RFK, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama, that this could be 2008 ALL OVER AGAIN.  If your a West Wing fan you will recall Representative Santos vs. Senator Vinick.   The difference is that Beto, he has a catchy name, comes across as a hippie of the 21st Century, he keeps telling us his thought process and tells everyone on social media.   At former Vice - President Joe Biden does not pander like that, he just says sorry for his past mistakes when it comes to policy and his foot in the mouth problem.   Although Beto, it's easier to recall than Barack, LOST in his Texas Senate race, President Obama got elected to the US Senate, he did not spend that much time in the Senate as he was running for the Presidency, one doubts that President Obama could tell you where his Senate Office was, he was NEVER THERE, he was in Iowa or NH.   At the end of the day Beto LOST, also he has free wheeling style as stated in the article, he speeches come when he is talking, did not have a conventional campaign structure, you need that in a Presidential Campaign.   Also has he really be tested, and has his background been researched, you can be sure the Trump Campaign will do a tough research job.  One recalls at the start of the 21st Century that John Edwards was the darling of the US media, all over the magazines and TV news, we all know how that ended, Edwards being found out by the National Enquire.   That came after he was nominated to be to the VP to John Kerry who was running for President in 2004.  New candidates need to be tested or their failings will be found out, look at the Governor of Virginia, the Lt Governor and the Attorney General.  Uber liberal media, fall in love yes, but know who you are falling in love with. 

Chris Huhne Sorry - Liberal Democrats

Guardian: Reports on a interview given by the former Cabinet Minister Chris Huhne to the paper, the article notes the following, “ Jailed ex-minister tells the Guardian he accepts responsibility for chain of events that led to prison and loss of political career  ”. 

Lets Get Real:

This is good PR by the Huhne Camp, the Guardian has given him a easy interview, this follows a pattern by the left wing press, they cover for their own, reader if this was a Conservative politician do you think the Guardian would have this kind of interview.  NO WAY IN HELL.  This has echoes of the Edwards case in the US, when the liberal NYT would not investigate a former Democratic Nominee for VP in 2004 over his affair.  The left wing press cover for their own, that is why this blog has no trust in the elite media, they drink from the same water, if it is a Conservative then they will go in to destroy mode, shame on the press, the Liberal Democrats even had nice things to say about Huhne at their recent conference, that shows rotten the Liberal Democrats are, just like the Democrats with Senator Edward Kennedy after Chappaquiddick. 

Is Obama another Bush 43? - NYT

The New York Times: Has the following editorial on the Obama legal justification for drones, " brought back unwelcome memories of memos written for President George W. Bush to justify illegal wiretapping, indefinite detention, kidnapping, abuse and torture.  ".

Lets Get Real: 

It is interesting folks, when it was Bush 43 the liberal left wanted impeachment hearings, it wanted the lawyers struck off, but because it is President Obama, there some critical reaction, but not the great noise from the left wing media.   This is why the liberal left wing media is not trusted, if your a Democrat the media will cover for you, just look at he Edwards case,  or the late Senator Edward Kennedy, if your a Republican your guilty and have to prove your innocent.  Think folks if it has been Bush 43 killing US Citizens the print and tv liberal news would have been all over it, not so with this, and it can be argued that the actions of the Oval in this case is worse, people died, yes terrorists, but from the left wing view they should have been arrested and tried, not just killed by Presidential approval.   The blog supports a strong Presidency, but lets have balanced in the reporting, if your going to raise hell if the President is a Republican, then do the same when its a President with D by his name.   The press should at least try balance, otherwise it will go down the toilet.  

Libyagate = Watergate ? Petraeus P5

Telegraph: Reports that the alleged women in the Petraeus SEX scandal have gotten lawyers. 

Lets Get Real:

It seems odd to this blog that these women are getting the lawyers in, there something in this story folks, has a smell, from the alleged black ops in Libya, to the alleged affairs of General Petraeus.    It could be in this modern age that when a scandal breaks you need a lawyer, but this is not your typical Washington D.C sex scandal.   Lets see were this goes folks, there something not quite right, JUST SOMETHING. 

A COVER UP of a COVER UP - Petraeus Scandal P3

BBC News: Reports that the girlfriend of General Petraeus stated in a speech that Libyan insurgents were being held by the CIA before the attack on the US Consulate in Libya. 

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks the resignation of General Petraeus might be a faint, the 1st Obama Administration banned off the books holding of terrorists, so either the CIA was going rouge in Libya or the Oval was being economic with the truth.   It is hard to fathom that the CIA after the election of Obama in 2008 would go off the grid with suspected terrorists.  The video spin after the attack on the Consulate could have been an attempt to cover up a CIA black ops, thus did the CIA station Chief know about this action, was this given the green light by the Oval.    This story just might be more than a sex scandal folks, the scandal might have been a faint, the hope that the uber liberal main stream media would cover for the Oval.   That could be a mistake folks, the main stream media have gotten Obama a 2nd term, they have nothing to lose NOW, they can go after him, he is out in four years.   Also its a sex scandal folks, the CIA Director, an attractive and intelligent girlfriend and the suspected cover up of a illegal CIA operation.   Even the liberal media will have to cover this story folks, otherwise they just might as well give up reporting, they can not have another Edwards case.  This is the kind of story that makes reporting interesting and fun.   That is the TRUTH folks. 

The Koch Brothers vs. Obama

The New York Times: Reports that the Koch Brothers backed Super Pac is to go after POTUS, the article states the following, " the Tea Party organization backed by the Koch brothers, is set to begin a $25 million advertising assault..".

Lets Get Real:

The Uber liberal NYT hates the Tea Party and its supporters, the view of the elite media is that the Tea Party are EVIL, they are demagogues, if you think this hype go and watch recent episode of the The Newsroom on Sky Atlantic, the liberal main stream media really hate the Tea Party, they never ask who backs the liberal Super Pacs, the US Supreme Court in a great decision has allowed individual people who are wealth to support Super Pacs, this is Democracy, and the elite media hate it, in the past they decide what was news, thus you never head about President Kennedy's women, or FDR' or LBJ's, it took a US magazine to get the John Edwards story out, while the uber liberal NYT was doing a character hit job on Senator McCain. The elite new media hate Fox News, because its not liberal, you only have to see how objective Fox News is when you look at the Evening News in the US, they tend to follow the line of the NYT. Thank goodness individuals and business can NOW talk in the public square, its called fairness and democracy folks.

Criminal or Cad ? - John Edwards Trial

The New York Times: Reports that the Jury in the Trial of former Senator John Edwards are still discussing the verdict.

Lets Get Real:

This blog will vent a bit of Nixon, Edwards had it all, the looks, a successful trial lawyer, VP Nominee on the Kerry ticket in 2004 and a possible Attorney General in the 1st Obama Administration and it was not enough, he started an affair before running for President in 2008 and then tried to cover it up. The Trial will decide if donations to Senator Edwards were personal or part of the Campaign. One might as what is the difference would the donations have been given if Edwards was not running for President. Lets hope the Jury throw the book at Edwards, he is total cad without honour. But does that make him a criminal, lets see what the Jury decides.

John Edwards Scandal

Daily Mail: Reports that an female prostitute has claimed she slept with the former Senator and former Vice - Presidential Nominee John Edwards in 2007. The scandals pile on John Edwards, and you know what folks, he deserves everything he gets, he was playing about while his then great wife had a terminal illness, yes folks he is that much of a heel. In 2004 he was the Democratic Vice - Presidential Nominee with Senator Kerry leading the ticket, think of the security of implications if this man had gotten elected and done a JFK, playing about, it would have driven the Secret Service barmy, another one, what is it with Democrats, cant they keep their shipper close. Lets hope they throw this low life in to jail and throw away the key. This is a harsh post folks, but then a man like Edwards should get no pity.
