3577262558 0b2943a06c o Shocker: Judge Sonia Sotomayor Practices Identity Politics

Looks like Judge Sonia Sotomayor has chosen her words poorly MANY TIMES. What great White House spin vetting, eh?
Her repeated use of the phrases “wise Latina woman” and “wise woman” would appear to undermine the Obama administration’s assertions that the statement was simply a poor choice of words. After details of the 1994 speech circulated before the questionnaire’s release, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, emerged from his private meeting with Sotomayor and expressed new concerns about the nominee’s “identity politics.”

Judge Sotomayor will have alot of explaining to do now with regards to racial and sexual preferences. Her speeches, writings, cases and life will be gone through with a fine-toothed comb.

During her confirmation hearings she will have to clearly articulate/prove that she is unbiased and will apply justice for all Americans – not just “Wise” “Latina” or “Women” ones.

Remember that some have maintained that it is Sotomayor’s supporters that may indeed “SPIN” her out of a job on the United States Supreme Court.

Stay tuned……

3595005441 2c642db920 Los Angeles Daily News to Mayor Antonio Villarigosa: Dont Run for California Governor

And, KTLA television anchor/reporter Lu Parker, Telemundo television anchor Mirthala Salinas, and his ex-wife are NOT part of the rationale.

Remember how Rudy Giuliani’s family life, including affairs have sunk his political aspirations? It is a whispering campaign behind the candidate’s back – but is always there. If Mayor Tony ignores this reality and does not deal with it, then put a fork in him – He’s done.

Read the editorial here.

Conservatives for Patients Rights Action Fund today kicks off a $1 million+ television ad campaign featuring prominent British and Canadian doctors who warn of patients actually dying as they wait for care, and of losing control of their own health care choices in a society where the government has taken over the health care system. The ads detail how the United States Congress has begun copying government-run health care policies which failed in these countries.

The summer Congressional health care reform game is afoot. Today Conservatives for Patient’s Rights Action fund begins a $ million ad campaign.

A conservative group opposed to President Barack Obama’s plans for health care reform launched Thursday a $1.2 million television advertising campaign slated to run through the July 4 recess.

The 30-second spot, set to run on Fox News Channel and CNN, blasts Obama’s push for a government-run, public insurance plan as a part of any health care reform legislation. The ad buy was placed by Conservatives for Patients’ Rights, a group that operates both as a 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4).

The ad features video of a bulldozer crushing written text that reads: “HEALTH CARE CHOICE.”

Here is the latest ad:

Stay tuned as the media wars continue to heat up.

3595596012 2786d94a8b o Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: Political Decisions   NOT About Lu Parker

Screen Cap from KTLA Anchor/Reporter Lu Parker

So, does LU Parker agree – it is NOT about her?
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says reports this week that he’s dating another TV reporter will not be a factor in whether he decides to run for California governor.

The Democratic mayor said Wednesday the public has scant interest in his personal life.

He says his decision on entering the 2010 contest will depend only on whether he can best serve Californians.

The mayor is reportedly dating Lu Parker, a former Miss USA who works at KTLA-TV. Villaraigosa’s wife, Corina, filed for divorce in 2007 during his affair with another local newscaster, Mirthala Salinas. The divorce is pending, and he later split with Salinas.

Villaraigosa declined to comment about Parker.

When asked whether he was in love, he said, “I love life.”

Knowing what a PIG Mayor Tony has been over the years, means it probably doesn’t matter. Lu is one of many and two years later note the Los Angeles Mayor is still not divorced.

Mayor Villaraigosa is going nowhere in the California Governor’s race anyway. If Mirthala Salinas wasn’t enough to sink him in his infamous summer of love in 2007, then the latest Los Angeles Magazine Cover calling him a failure will be sufficient.

On the other hand, the two other probable candidates for the Democrat Governor’s nomination, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Jerry Brown have their own personal baggage, so you never know.

But, I am certain that Lu Parker won’t be around should Mayor Villar decide to take a 2010 political plunge.

Lu, have you scheduled that lunch with Mirthala yet?

3595269374 1dc662b266 o President Obamas Speech in Cairo   A Kumbaya Moment

The text of the President’s speech is here and the video is here and below:

“A New Beginning”
The President gives a speech in Cairo, Egypt, outlining his personal commitment to engagement with the Muslim world, based upon mutual interests and mutual respect, and discusses how the United States and Muslim communities around the world can bridge some of the differences that have divided them. June 4, 2009.
Here is the AP’s story on the speech and the Wall Street Journal.

And, Flap’s take on this KUMBAYA MOMENT?

Don Surber pretty much wraps it up.

Plus, two words: WEAK and DANGEROUS

Day By Day by Chris Muir

Words DO Matter and the President’s Egyptian speech to the Muslim World is falling flat from the LEFT and RIGHT.

What will be the consequences be from an APOLOGY and BLAME BUSH MINDSET? How will such WEAKNESS be viewed by America’s terrorist enemies?

Flap says gird your loins folks and hang on for a bumpy ride. You know how weakness is played from the poker table – you are BULLIED into action.

Hear that Israel?
