What time is it? Uniting time!

Madame's latest post came in light of the RINO candidate dropping out of the Congressional race in New York. She praised Dede Scozzafaba for being "unselfish". It's time to cross the finish line to victory so that Doug Hoffman can get to work for New York and the country, Madame says. And she knows a thing or two about crossing the finish line. She reminded people about the issues before Congress such as health care "reform"and cap and tax. It is time for those moderate Republicans and conservatives to unite behind Mr. Hoffman.

Although it's a little late in the game, Fib Newton and Aw Schucksabee decided to hop on the bandwagon and endorse Hoffman as well. This is what uniting is, even if it is a little bit late. Madame put principles before politics; these gentlemen put politics before principles. In the meantime, Mittens Pomade is trying to remove some splinters that he's received from fence sitting on this issue.

The LOTUS wishes you all a happy Halloween, and I'm hoping for a nice, conservative post-Halloween treat on Tuesday.

GAME CHANGER?-UPDATED

Madame's latest Facebook post said Halloween day is going to be a "game changer" when it comes to the health care reform debate, and she urged everyone to tune into the GOP's weekly address. I couldn't tell if she used all caps in her post title because she accidentally hit my caps lock key or if she wanted to really, really emphasize her point. It doesn't really matter. Madame feels strongly about this!

I'm concerned for Anderson Cooper though. The phrase "game changer" can be used as a sports analogy. As we all know, Anderson Cooper doesn't understand sports analogies.

The softy southpaws' health care plans have mimicked board games as well, such as Monopoly, when they were considering proposing jail time for those who did not buy health insurance. Go directly to jail; do not pass go; do not collect $200! The bureaucracy of the softy southpaws plan is quite similar to a game of chute and ladders. Perhaps Congress will actually have ideas that aren't child's play! Hey, a LOTUS can dream; can't she?

She urged all Americans including Congress themselves to listen to John Boehner's address tomorrow. Madame says he is going to offer solutions. The softy southpaws have been whining that Republicans don't have any solutions, but Madame says they do. Am I going to be paying attention? You betcha!

UPDATED: Here is the address by John Boehner that Madame mentioned in her Facebook post:

Hoffman and the Power of "P"

Since Madame endorsed Doug Hoffman last week, it seems like a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon. To be fair, others including Fred Thompson, Michele Bachmann, and Dick Armey endorsed Doug Hoffman first, but Madame is clearly driving the bandwagon.

Tim Pawlenty, or as I like to call him the Minnesota Mullet, after claiming ignorance about the race decided to also endorse Hoffman after Madame did. Pawlenty, like his haircut, is just a little behind the times.

Texas Governor, Rick Perry, also decided to endorse Doug Hoffman. Now I don't want to get on his case too much. He and Madame are good friends, and he really appreciates Madame's support. He even said that regarding choices of support, " I think I'd stick with Sarah".

Madame is leading the way of the endorsement power play of Palin, Pawlenty, and Perry-- the power of "P". Hmm, that doesn't sound quite right.

There are a couple of fence sitters that I do feel the need to call out--Mittens Pomade and Aw Shucksabee. You may know them better as Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. They are choosing to not take a stand. I have to ask, gentlemen, isn't it painful to sit on the fence? Ouch!

Yep, as usual Madame is leading the pack,
out in front of the fence sitters.

Take Me out to the Ballgame: Obama Style

Tonight is the first game of the World Series between the Phillies and the Yankees. I'm not sure who Madame is cheering for, but I'm cheering for the Phillies. I think the designated hitter is for wimps.

I had a conversation with TOTUS tonight, and he told me that the Great Opologizer has his own special version of "Take Me out to the Ballgame" that he sings during the seventh inning stretch when he watches a game. Here are the lyrics:

Take me out to the ballgame.
Write about me Maureen Dowd.
I don't like bitter clinging rednecks.
I don't care if I ever use facts.
For I don't root for the "home team".
If they don't win, there's no shame.
For its 1,2,3 times a day I say Bush is to blame!

Now don't tell Madame that these are the President's lyrics. She won't be too happy. Now, final question: who would you rather have on your team?

Yet Another Type, Type, Send

Madame's latest post on Facebook came to her while watching some basketball. Then, she began to talk about the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. This is where she began to truly speak my language, "[t]here are big political races on the East Coast that are coming down to the wire - the results of which will impact policies and political actions that touch all of us in every state". Down to the wire-- that's something that an electronic device like me can really understand!

She also spoke about her rogueness, how she doesn't always agree with Republican political committees. She talked up the two Republicans running for Governor out East. She didn't even mention their opponents' names--a tactic she used in her endorsement of Doug Hoffman and in her RNC speech last year. Sneaky, very sneaky, Madame!

She closed by reminding us that this isn't just about doing what is right, right now. It is about doing what's right for future generation. She understands the whole Constitution-- that it is securing the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. This is good. I want America to continue to be great place for my future little LOTUSes!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is soon approaching! In the past, Madame has dressed as Tiny Fea for Halloween. Oh, did my typographical dyslexia kick in again? I'm not sure what her plans are this year. I can't wait to see what Piper and Trig are dressing up as this year. They were so cute when they dressed up around Halloween at a rally last year!



Hmm, I'd better decide what I'm going to dress up for Halloween soon too!?! I could go for something creative like dressing up as TOTUS! Another option would be to dress up as someone scary like Nancy Pelosi! I don't know about that though; it may scare Trig and Piper too much!

As I was surfing around today, I ran across an interesting poll at US News and World Report. The results are shown below as of about 7:30 P.M. Alaska time.

Who do you think is more likely to hand out the best Halloween candy?

1. 66.47% Sarah Palin
2. 1.78% Rudy Giuliani
3. 10.39% Michelle Obama
4. 14.54% Hillary Clinton
5. 6.82% Joe Biden

Madame would definitely hand out better candy than Michelle Obama and Joe Biden; that's for sure. FLOTUS would probably hand out arugula to people visiting the White House. Joe Biden would probably hand out something that may cause foot-in-mouth disease. I wish I could help hand out candy, but I don't have hands! It makes me so sad!

Happy Halloween!

Fib Newton is crying!

I spent some time today on Youtube, and I have some clips to share with you.

Today, Newt Gingrich, or as like to call him Fib Newton, was on Fox and Friends where they asked him about his support for a RINO instead of a conservative in the race for NY's 23rd district Congressional seat.Check it out starting at the 2:00 mark; it includes some satirical closed captioning:



I don't have anything much to say except that I didn't know he would be so whiny about the fact that Madame and some others are supporting a conservative instead of a RINO. However, while I was on Youtube, I did find a song that encapsulates what RINOs and even some non-RINO Republicans think when Madame goes rogue on the Republican party.
