McCain to visit with the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

Usually, political groups trip over one another to try and gain public notoriety and attention. The Council for National Policy, meanwhile, would be perfectly happy if the public didn’t even know it exists. (I’ve long believed the easiest job on Earth would be to serve as this group’s press secretary.)

The CNP is made up of many heavy-hitters from the religious right and conservative movement in general, and they meet periodically to plot and scheme. It may sound excessively cloak-and-dagger of the group, but the CNP has a list of formal rules, one of which reads, “The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs, before or after a meeting.”

Fortunately, details routinely leak. Today in New Orleans, for example, the CNP will gather and hear from none other than John McCain. (You know, the one who “refuses to pander” to anyone.)

Sen. John McCain, in his post-victory debut before the conservative movement’s top donors and leaders, will address the Council for National Policy’s annual winter meeting here today.

His remarks at the event, which has always been closed to the public and will have only a partial accommodation of the press this year for the first time, could turn out to be his make-or-break pitch for support from some of the right’s most influential critics of his past positions and policies.

“This is the most distinguished collection of conservative leaders and donors, and he was anxious to appear as part of his ongoing effort to consolidate support for his candidacy within the conservative movement,” said Charlie Black, Mr. McCain’s campaign adviser.

And who, exactly, is the Council for National Policy? Right Wing Watch has some good background info.

In what many in the GOP came to view as the 11th Commandment, Ronald Reagan famously said," Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican." Hillary Clinton, it would now appear, is taking his advice to heart. Not content to merely lambast the supposed inexperience of Barack Obama, Clinton's scorched-earth campaign has lavished praise on John McCain as the embodiment of a commander-in-chief. Desperate to resurrect her once-fading candidacy, it is Hillary Clinton who has sadly emerged as the embodiment of Reagan's Law.

For the details, see:
"Hillary Clinton Follows Reagan's 11th Commandment."

Fascists, meet Theocrats; Theocrats, meet Fascists.

God, I hate these rich asshats. They are worthless and a drag on society. Blaming the poor is how they hide the fact that they are ones who take all the money. There must be some way to force them to be productive members of society. Maybe a program like the CCC to put them to work repairing the infrastructure. The only time they are allowed to tell other people what to do is around the campfire after a 12 hour day of making little ones out of big ones.

Or maybe just a revolution. Who's up for storming the AIE?

The end of U.S. dominance — not by Commies or terrorists…

But hari-kari via our own government.

Wudda thunk it?

Well, if that CNP thing doesn't work out for him, there's always that meeting down in the bunker that's been haunting my nightmares lately: What George Bush and John McCain said on their way down to the bunker to meet with Dick Cheney.

Three times a year for 23 years, a little-known club of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country have met behind closed doors at undisclosed locations for a confidential conference, the Council for National Policy, to strategize about how to turn the country to the right.

Details are closely guarded.

''The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs, before of after a meeting,''

Kinda sounds like another group of zanies in 1920's Germany which went on to later fame trying to conquer world as the Hitler's Nazi Party.

These fucking people are traitors to the principles of what this country was founded on.
As Indiana Jones put it so well, "I Hate Nazis".

I am hopeful that with each new cheap shot (see todays suggestion that obamas entire campaign is a big lie, and only the foreign press has been let in on it), there are fewer and fewer able to see a halo hovering over Clinton's head; and those remaining are forced to close their eyes, cover their ears, and insist that hillary is "the one" whatever is happening in the world, however dishonest her campaign becomes.

another fun loving reichwingnut christian fucked-up group

and the sad thing is (before I and others were banned from DKos) is that the anti-HRC people were warning about her big time, there were better other candidates as well as Obama.
She is dangerous, its a power at all costs and to hell with everybody else thing with her.
Dkos (and it seems the Democrat party) has more than its quota of late-middle aged 'women' who dote on cats and dashing young things in uniforms and glorious sanitized TVed overseas wars.
HRC to me seems to be a vanity presidential candidate, being the wife of a popular ex-president doesnt make her the saviour,
and doing the bush-lite thing will not repair the damage done by 8 years of Chimpy &co.
She needs to stop doingt he Republicans dirty work and remember that being president is only a job, a big job but not the 'be all and end all', getting a democratic government back in power and repairing the US is the critical thing for 08.

after all, that was her strongest point in the last several weeks-- obama is too young to be president, and your kids will suffer for it..

i haven't heard barack say hillary is too old......but maybe now that you raise the argument...

Text of McCain speech:

"Listen up, you fucking thieving, power hungry, Mammon-worshiping, whores: It's either me, the slut, or the darkie. I expect you to donate accordingly, and I want you to take back all that shit you said about me, before. Got it? Praise Jesus. Amen, brothers."

Only this group of narrow-minded, power-obsessed, money-hungry, elitist assholes could come to my devastated city to discuss anything but how to improve the conditions of my city. Yeah, and the presidential debate committee still claims the decision not to hold one of the debates here was strictly a matter of New Orleans' "not being ready" to host this type of major event. Whatever. In the last year New Orleans has hosted large public events of increasingy size and complexity with little to no public safety incidents: the Arena Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the BCS Championship and the NBA All-Star Game, which begs the question: who's really not ready to have a debate here? So what city gets to cash in on hosting one of the debates? Oxford, Mississpippi, of course - adopted hometown of William Faulkner and, of course, a small town with average convention facilities in a state with a well-connected Republican governor who just happens to have been a tobacco lobbyist prior to running for office. But, again, we must remember that the decision was not political. (For the record, seven past & present presidential candidates signed letters to the committee requesting that one of the debates be held in New Orleans: Joseph Biden, Sam Brownback, Hillary Clinton, Christopher Dodd, John Edwards, John McCain and Barack Obama.)

Anyway, this reminds me of the way the NRA seems to hold rallies in cities recently affected by gun-toting mass murderers, as if they want to make the pain worse. I wish I believed in a hell because it would put a big, fat smile on my face knowing these scumbags would be taking the A-Train straight there as soon as they kicked the bucket.

Ex Prime minister Tony Blair for all his smarmyness did one very good thing in the UK in the late 90s,
he established the minimum that was considered decent to live on, upping the minimum wage and getting the family credit schem working, so that families would have a guiaranteed 250 UKP to live on per week.

IMO, the concerns about pensions are legit. People worked for that money- pensions are simply wages deferred until , roughly, retirement.

And I think you're making an "or" argument that isn't there. It's not "Pensions OR SCHIP".

I think that the pension concerns cross party lines. There are a lot of Red and Blue voters who would be harmed if their pensions went *POOF*. Children's Healthcare seems to be divided along politically, not age-related, fault lines, however.

Well, I disagree.

I know what happened with SCHIP- it passed both the Senate and House and was vetoed by Stupor Mundi. Not enough Republicans voted to override the veto.

I don't know where pension legislation stands now in Congress, but it wouldn't surprise me that if it was introduced the same thing would happen here as with the SCHIP legislation.

And that's not lobbying. That's partisan politics with the White House holding just enough power to sway a handful of Congress-people and defeat legislation that the White House opposes along philosophical lines.

The Clintons had the Democratic Party so exhausted from having to defend them for 8 years, we could not even put up a good fight in 2000. Everytime I hear someone mention Obama as Clintons VP, I think about Al Gore. Once she gets done, its over for Obama. He better not take that deal.

AngryOne @ 1:

In what many in the GOP came to view as the 11th Commandment, Ronald Reagan famously said," Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican." Hillary Clinton, it would now appear, is taking his advice to heart. Not content to merely lambast the supposed inexperience of Barack Obama, Clinton's scorched-earth campaign has lavished praise on John McCain as the embodiment of a commander-in-chief. Desperate to resurrect her once-fading candidacy, it is Hillary Clinton who has sadly emerged as the embodiment of Reagan's Law.

For the details, see:
"Hillary Clinton Follows Reagan's 11th Commandment."

I am hopeful that with each new cheap shot (see todays suggestion that obamas entire campaign is a big lie, and only the foreign press has been let in on it), there are fewer and fewer able to see a halo hovering over Clinton's head; and those remaining are forced to close their eyes, cover their ears, and insist that hillary is "the one" whatever is happening in the world, however dishonest her campaign becomes.

Polls have her leading in Penn by 15%. Apparently the American people like that kind of crap.

ferrofluid @ 15:

and the sad thing is (before I and others were banned from DKos) is that the anti-HRC people were warning about her big time, there were better other candidates as well as Obama.
She is dangerous, its a power at all costs and to hell with everybody else thing with her.
Dkos (and it seems the Democrat party) has more than its quota of late-middle aged 'women' who dote on cats and dashing young things in uniforms and glorious sanitized TVed overseas wars.
HRC to me seems to be a vanity presidential candidate, being the wife of a popular ex-president doesnt make her the saviour,
and doing the bush-lite thing will not repair the damage done by 8 years of Chimpy &co.
She needs to stop doingt he Republicans dirty work and remember that being president is only a job, a big job but not the 'be all and end all', getting a democratic government back in power and repairing the US is the critical thing for 08.
Do not do the Rethugs job for them Hillary.

OH MY, Where does one begin?

Lets start here: has more than its quota of late-middle aged 'women' who dote on cats and dashing young things in uniforms and glorious sanitized TVed overseas wars. shall we?

This really takes the cake. No wonder you got kicked off of DKOS. I rarely go over there but maybe its a good idea.
You've3 managed to diss women, older women, the military and cat lovers all in one fell swoop. So we have sexism, ageism, generalization, shall I go on or shall we just call it ignorance to be kind?

or this accusation:
She needs to stop doingt he Republicans dirty work... Do not do the Rethugs job for them Hillary.

I will preface my remarks by saying I an not defending Hillary Clinton I am just bringing in a bit of recent history.

You do know that the neo-cons have been running the narrative on Hillary Clinton for over 10 years don't you? You understand that all the hateful demonization that you read on Progressive blog comments were first raised and propagated by the far right evangelicals and the neo-cons, right? Do you understand the politics of the neo-cons, the history? PNAC? Where they "come from" meaning where/how "they" formed?

My understanding is that the core of this administration along with people like Kristol, Perle? Novak etc has been involved with all the Republican Presidency's since Nixon.
These people were intent on expanding Presidential powers and really, who knows what else. When Watergate started coming out and the administration was falling apart there was the committee or panel investigating to see if Impeachment was legal, were there grounds. There were a couple of young lawyers doing much of the research on this, looking for the citations that could be used etc. Not being a lawyer I really can't tell you in the appropriate jargon. One of those lawyers dug up the legal information that provided the OK to begin Impeachment proceedings which in turn forced Nixon's resignation. You can imagine what Cheney, Rumsfeld,Rove, (yes, that Rove) and the rest of that inner core and those that were next to them felt about that. The agenda of increasing Presidential power is now in the toilet, or at least on hold for awhile. Can't you just see Cheney's rage?
I pity the poor fool who crosses them, I really do. We know how they feel about being crossed and what they are capable of when someone thwarts them. Well, maybe we don't know, but we have an idea. Plame was outed and lost her career. Libby would take the hit and lose everything rather than cross them. No one at all will testify against them, Gonzales did their bidding, Seigelman (or is it seligman?) is in jail on most probably trumped up charges. I'm sure we don't know the half of it.

I sometimes wonder if the reason Impeachment is off the table and there is no real push to put it back on is less a matter of politics and re-election as it is about being scared witless at what might happen to them if they go after this crowd.
Anyway. These are not people you want to tangle with. So, back to this lawyer. This lawyer was a young woman, 26 years old named Hillary Rodham. YUP, one and the same.

It seems to me that from the moment the Clinton's hit Washington there was an organized effort to "get them" which was bizarre to me. I couldn't figure it out but every time you turned around there were accusations, investigations, lots of ugliness coming at them from all directions. Huge amounts of time and money spent and nothing could be used to take him down until he lied about his sex life and infidelity... how stupid is that given that he didn't even have to answer. So then what do we have? Impeachment proceedings. How symmetrical. Get to Hillary Rodham by destroying her husband which will marginalize her and effectively destroy her as well. Do you really think they wouldn't be capable of this?

When Hillary Clinton used the term "vast right wing conspiracy" she wasn't kidding, though she was laughed at, derided, insulted. But she was right. This isn't the only one of these groups. I would bet there are many, many... 10? 50? 100? more?
PNAC- the Project for the new American Century comes out of those core people in the Nixon administration. They have al signed it so you can go to the document which is on line... their "manifesto" and look to see who signed it and then look at their bio's on WIKI.
They are a scary group with a scary agenda. This Iraq war is just the tip of the iceberg. The idiot king who I would submit is their Manchurian candidate or sorts either wasn't malleable enough, or they just were insane enough to believe their own rhetoric on being greeted with flowers and candy.

These people are bloody and have no interest in Democracy. Their interest is in a world order with America at the top of the heap. Their interest is in corporate domination of all government. The so called spreading of democracy is no such thing. It is the spread of
consumerism, opening markets around the world, creating "needs" for the poor in undeveloped countries (underdeveloped they call it ). For the poor to buy the products they intend to sell them they need some more money... great, cheap labor to create the drugs of choice for greedy Americans: STUFF. Doesn't matter what it is as long as it is new stuff. Time to get rid of the Plazma TV's because LED's are coming. Time to create new looks and new colors in fashion, gotta move product. Well, they can get the labor, pay pennies, not have environmental standards or worker safety standards.
Unfortunately they are turning us into a lesser nation by doing so. The disparity between rich and poor gets greater and greater. But so what, those of us on the have not side are only existing for their well being. cogs.

Anyway, I don't know why I went into that. I sound like a conspiracy theorist. Where is my tinfoil hat?

My point is I may not like Hillary Clinton. I may disagree with her in many ways and disapprove of her tactics but calling her a neo-con tool or implying she is doing there work is a stretch... though maybe she has Stockholm Syndrome.
Personally I dislike her tactics but I understand them. I cannot imagine anyone going through the knocks and slams she has gone through and not only remain standing but working at what she believes in and standing up and defying the bastards by not lying down and dying.
I give her credit for that. I admire her for it. I think that steely defensiveness and attacks, while not justifiable are understandable given that she has had to do whatever was necessary to remain standing.

just my opinion.

I feel that if anyone is doing the "rethugs" work it is those that spread the neo-con hate Hillary agenda. I could be wrong but perhaps a kinder gentler approach creates a kinder gentler human being. Frankly I have never seen the kind of venom and attacks and distortions and analysis about everything said and done, and worn by this woman. It borders on irrational hysteria.

BTW, I have been around many campaigns, this one does not even come close to nasty yet. It has been pretty civil.
Now I am going to emaiil Hillary Clinton and suggest she lighten up in as polite and kind way as possible.

Call me a bleeding heart liberal but I just don't think Hatred, Sexism, ageism, and nasty cracks about the supporters of those opposing candidate have a place in a Progressive agenda. Hate and divisiveness are not Progressive values.

McZzzzz – last in excitement, the polls, the alphabet – well everything, really. But he’ll be the first to go…soon…just follow the smoke, Johnny…

McBush-clone – vegetative propagation in all its inbredglory.

McYuk – the barfy kind, or the funny kind?

Keep McPileing on C&L'ers! The current McList numbers 495 and the entire list and/or links will be posted on McDamnthisisgettingtobeareallllyfuckinglonglistalmostlikeafulltimejob and/or Open threads Sunday, and the previous day’s contributions the rest of the week, John permitting.

“Shorter lists are funnier” generally holds true, and very well may re the McList. C&L’ers are diverse and eclectic, and I’ve enjoyed many lols, LOLs, LOL!s and Ha ha’s here. I’m reluctant to exclude any McEntry, ’cause they’re all funny/pointed/cathartic to varying degrees, and the sheer length of the entire list has a humorous quality of its own.
We are also generating denigrating McMemes, some of which may be useful, in a memie sort of way. The thuglicontards are very aware of the usefulness of denigrating memes, and it won’t hurt to put out a few of our own.
That being said, a Top 11, Dirty Dozen, etc. are considerations, for those (myself included, usually) who like things condensed to essentials.

Projection. Nope, they don't see it. I used to stand with my jaw on the floor listening to the idiot king and his handlers talk about the "evil doers" and the "axis of evil" and the "terr-rists." It was so mind boggling that as he sopoke it was evident that he was talking about himself, the administration and what they were turning us into.
It still is mind boggling but somehow we become used to it, it isn't as shocking as it was the first 4 or 5 years. LOL.

Yeah, we all have a side of us that in unacknowledged and we project it out onto others. So it is pretty clear what that is in the idiot king and his trusty handlers. YIPES.

I didn't see the Clinton's forcing war, death, debt and economic devastation down everyones throats during the 90's.

Anyone else?

No, we just had to take NAFTA, welfare reform, no healthcare(which they were going to get and 8 years later. nothing) Then of course, we had Travelgate. Filegate, Monicagate, Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Whitewater, Fostergate, Ken Starr, Inpeachment, a Republican Congress, and some I am sure I have missed.

Bill in another time would be a Republican. NAFTA, 'Welfare reform' ie elimination. Terrible stuff from a supposed Democrat. So you are right there.

I am not a fan of Hillary as you may have noticed.

However, look at the 'gates' of Bill and then look at the 'gates' of Bush.

Take one Whitewater, a trumped up land deal investigated, re-investigated and then a special counselor and investigated again. No results, the McDougals indicted but nothing sticks to the Clintons.

Bush has Blackwater. A private mercenary army killing people at will.

How about Bush and torture. Or Bush and illegal electronic eavesdropping.

Bill was a vanilla republican, Bushco is off the map.

You would think that the WOT was of such importance that they would send their own kids off to fight and die for the cause and pay extra taxes to pay for a proper conflict, but alas they are cowards and prefer to send other peoples kids off to die for their profits and inflated bank accounts.

I think its telling that they all wear those stupid flag pins (when on TV),
but never wear a badge or bumper sticker proclaiming "I pay extra taxes to support the WOT"
Bushco and the IRS back in 03 could have introduced voluntary addon taxes for keen Republican taxpayers eager to support the war, with big color coded badges to show their support. 5% 10% 20% all different colors, then they could have put their money where their mouth was.
It would have brought a tear to my eye to see all those badges proudly worn by patriotic Republican taxpayers... sniffle

From the link:

The membership list this year was a who's who of evangelical Protestant conservatives and their allies, including Dr. Dobson, Mr. Weyrich, Holland H. Coors of the beer dynasty; Wayne LaPierre of the National Riffle Association, Richard A. Viguerie of American Target Advertising, Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Committee and Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform.

Okay, what's the big secret they're keeping? We all know what their separate agendas are, I think we all suspect what they're aiming at in unison.

No, we know what they're trying to do. These are the same people who've been pulling the strings of the GOP puppet show for the last 20 or 30 years.

So what's the secret? A meth-fueled orgy with illegal immigrant boys? What?

I don't know, but it cant' be anything good...I don't like a presidential candidate meeting with such a secretive and rightwing group...it smells of conspiracy.
