Posted at 6:09pm on Jul. 9, 2008 Iranian Missile Test
By redscan
A missile test this morning takes Iran to the next level.
Nine 1250-mile-range missiles were successfully fired.
Each can carry a 1 ton payload to Israel or to US bases.
One ton is a great deal of payload.
Is it time to sit down for tea with Mr. Ahmedinejad?
Let's do lunch. Or not.

Posted at 12:55pm on Jul. 8, 2008 Obama: Front and Center
By redscan
Rasmussen reports that Obama's move to "the center"
is working.
Viewed as liberal by 67% just weeks ago,
now 56% consider the Senator from Illinois as liberal.
22% now (36% before) think of him as "very" liberal.
Meanwhile, Senator McCain is picking up steam as
a conservative. Now 28% think him very conservative,
as opposed to 19% in June.
The "marketing" war must have a "surge."
The bar-rapture is coming. Obama is

By redscan
Very soon the individuals that represent us
will realize that the government cannot sustain its current
level of regulation. They put up fences at every
opportunity taking over our economy by stealth.
They regulate energy restricting market access
The government economy usurpers must realize they
need the producers.
We are the producers.
We have allowed the government budget to grow beyond reality.

Posted at 8:42pm on Jun. 27, 2008 John Kerry with a Tan?
By redscan
Grover Norquist had some good ideas.
Drowning the government in a bathtub.
And "Ineffectual" may very well describe Obama.
But "John Kerry with a Tan"?
Good grief.
This is not the way to attack Obama.
Obama can be called too liberal by the right.
Obama is being called too centrist by the left.
On taxes, on security, on experience,
we can work on his record and his statements.
But this kind of attack is like

Posted at 11:58am on Jun. 26, 2008 Cannibalism on the Left
By redscan
The key is here.
Winning in November is about cannibalism.
Obama is trying to be "centrist."
He can't convince the right of that.
He can't convince the "middle" of that.
He CAN convince the left of that.
kosoids are furious about FISA.
Obama will not do their bidding and
filibuster. In fact he did not come out
against it. His tepid statement fuels
their rabies.
The Supreme Court overruled Louisiana's

Posted at 5:14pm on Jun. 24, 2008 Obama's achilles heel
By redscan
People have claimed Obama is the most liberal senator.
Liberals, however, have some differences of opinion.
Obama's support of the FISA legislation
has angered many liberals.
Obama's rejection of gay marriage
has angered many liberals.
Obama's Christianity
has angered many liberals.
Perhaps Obama isn't liberal enough
for the liberals.
Read their blogs, like Zuniga's.
You'll see.
It's a chink in the armor.

Posted at 11:53am on Jun. 17, 2008 Democrat Convention Out of Money?
By redscan
Democrats canceled a "media event."
Their convention in having money problems?
So says CNN.
The host committee misses every funding goal.
Sounds like public television.
Where's Obama?
Obama is supposedly raising money like a
1998 venture capitalist.
We heard all winter of his cash generation exploits.
Where's Obama now?
Can't you pay for your own convention, sir?
Now Denver is held "hostage."

Posted at 3:04pm on Jun. 16, 2008 Markets Respond to Opportunity
By redscan
Off the coast of Peru, a group of 20 islands is covered
with bird guano.
Twelve inches thick. Sounds great,
doesn't it?
No casino, no Trump resort.
Demand for organic food and cost of fertilizer
present opportunity.
Turn that guano into guan-dough.
Sounds better now.
The locals mine the guano to sell for fertilizer.
12000 tons per year is a lot of guano.
Spain and Peru went to war over bird guano

Posted at 2:20pm on Jun. 13, 2008 "Prevent" Defense?
By redscan
Have you watched a football team lose in the closing minutes?
Were they in the "prevent" defense?
"Prevent" defense is risky business.
The best defense is a good "offense."
Senator Ensign's goal is to keep a minority at 45.
This is GOP prevent defense.
This is time to "attack the ball."
George W. Bush is a great president,
as the recommended diary proclaims.
Sadr City is now peaceful; Iraqis are "standing up."

Posted at 3:02pm on Jun. 11, 2008 Hard Work
By redscan
What happened to hard work?
The promise of America is personal achievement.
Achievement is something accomplished, especially
by superior ability, special effort, or great courage.
That is what my dictionary says.
What do you say?
America is what we make it to be.
America is not what Barrack Obama says it is.
America is not what John McCain says it is.
McCain will not save us. Nor will
