End of an era

That's it - the very last Crown Victoria to come off the assembly line.

So if you decide one day to own one of these rear-wheel-drive cars, with a V8 engine in the front, you'll have to look for a used one.

I know that the modern car designs are cheaper, lighter, get better mileage, and have their advantages, but for me, a traditional family car is supposed to be big, have four doors, be rear wheel drive, and your Dad is supposed to have a set of snow tires in the garage that he puts on the car right before the first snowfall.

These cars were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant, which has (had) pumped out Ford automobiles for 44 years, and it is now being dismantled, and 200 employees just lost their jobs.

My 2008 Crown Vic just turned over 47,000 miles, and I intend to run it 200,000 more, which means it'll be in the driveway for a good long time. I'm keeping the faith I guess.

The RAIDERS are coming !

The NY Jets, who have appeared in the last two AFC Championship games, didn't have a good day Sunday.

They made a trip to Oakland, where they were beat down by the RAIDERS 34-24.

The game wasn't really that close - If you take Ladanian Tomlinson out of the game it's a shutout.

The Jets were unable to protect Mark Sanchez, and the RAIDERS defensive line, who are big, and nasty, sacked him 4 times, leaving him with a cut under his eye, and getting x-rayed to see if he had a broken nose.

On offense, Darren McFadden ran all over the field, racking up 171 yards and two touchdowns.

It's about time !

GO RAIDERS !

What does this have to do with a politically inspired blog ?

Nothing really, but next November when the voters sent Obama back to Chicago, and Jon Tester back to Big Sandy, they'll know how the JETS feel today !

Obama's version of Iran-Contra, or Watergate

Keep an eye on this story - it's just developing.

It's about half-a-billion dollars being given by the Obama regime, in the form of loan guarantees, to a clean energy company that less than a year later has filed bankruptcy, and the (our) money is gone.

The FBI is investigating, the Dems are scrambling, trying to distance Obama/Biden from the scandal, but it's not working thus far, and more details are coming out daily - here's the link to an article that's worth reading;

Preview of 2012 - Dem candidates go down because of Obama

Just as I predicted, Dem candidates have already started losing elections because of The Great Leader.

There were two special elections yesterday, one in Nevada and another in New York.

Nevada is the most telling, because in this special election the GOP candidate won by 20,000 votes. This is in a district that John McCain won by 88 votes in 2008. It shows that the independent voters have ALL abandoned the Democrats.

In New York, the Democrats lost a seat they held for 90 years, in an area that has 3 registered Dem voters for every Republican voter. It was considered a safe seat by the Dems, and was Sen. Chuck Schumers former seat. This was a district that Obama won by 11%, and yesterday the GOP won by 8 points.

That's a swing of 19 points away from the Dems, indicating that the independent voters there have abandoned the Dems also.

This is exactly what is going to happen in Montana next year.

The GOP will win the Governors office, the Montana Senate, and the House of Representatives.

Denny will soundly defeat Jon Tester, and Steve Daines will Denny's position in the House of Representatives.

Thank you Obama -

Why Tester Loses in '12, and loses HUGE to Denny

This has been quite a discussion at the Lumberyard lately - the race between Denny Rehberg, our lone Representative in the US House, and Jon Tester, our Junior Senator in the US Senate.

If the election was held next Tuesday, Denny wins 57-43 or worse.

Why?

Several reasons -

(1) Denny is popular in Montana. Just 10 months ago, the Dems had all the same issues with Denny, and put up the best candidate they could buy, and Denny mopped up the canvas with him.

(2) Tester cast the deciding vote on Obamacare - twice. This horrible law, which the majority of Americans don't want would not have passed without Testers approval. If he would have voted 'NO' it would have went down. And before the election, I expect the Supreme Court to agree with the majority of Americans and strike the law down.

(3) According to the Washington Post, Tester has voted 90+ percent with Reid/Pelosi/Obama. He is the perfect lackey, who's probably made a deal - votes for re-election money. We'll see where the money comes from and find out, won't we ?

(4) Obama. This election is going the be a referendum on The Great Leader, The Messiah, The Protector of the Poor, the post racial, post partisan man-god, Barack Hussein Obama.

Any Democrat who has openly supported his radical agenda is going to face the wrath of the voters. And the far-left of the Dems, who are upset because Obama has continued the policies of President Bush, think Obama isn't liberal enough, and have no enthusiasm., which equals low Dem turnout.

(5) Testers lies will come back to haunt him. There are lots of news clips, of Tester slandering Senator Burns, and promising to vote to end the wars, or grandly stating how much he didn't support earmarks period, at least until Harry Reid told him to vote for them.

So if the Dems continue the same tired attacks on Denny, and the GOP has aggressive advertising, all the PAC money in DC won't be able to buy Tester another term.

Treasure State Politics

There is a disturbance in the force.

A conservative ripple in the Montana blogosphere called Treasure State Politics.

Here's a link;

Looking at the authors, they are several young Republicans, with a nose for news, and lots of enthusiasm.
