Ihor From (near) Detroit: The Perfect Democrat

I just recently became aware of these videos, which are nearly two years old. They tell a fascinating story of hope and promise for the Democrats.

Our story starts with this guy, Ihor, from Warren (which is near Detroit). If ever there was a perfect Democrat, one who isn't black, Ihor is it.

First, Ihor has real problems with rule of law, a prerequisite for being a Leftist Democrat.

Then, he doesn't listen to women. Fortunately, the Democrat party has a long list of abusers of women, so this guy fits right in. The Democrat war on women has a new soldier.

And, while Ihor only claims to not listen to women, and he will yell at them to shut up if they're yelling at him, he has never (that we know of) drowned a woman like Ted Kennedy did, abused his wife like Congressman Alan Grayson has, or ever ordered a woman to "kiss it" like Bill Clinton did. "It" being, well you know. And this is the same Bill Clinton that raped Juanita Broaddrick and then told her to "you better put some ice on that." "That" being her lip that he bit at some point during the rape.



Now it turns out, to polish his Democrat resume and make him a full-fledged member of the Democrat Left, Ihor has problems keeping his pants on. On the bright side, at least he was caught and punished for this, before he won elected office, but still.

Ihor is a message machine, and he is a perfect Democrat in the sense that he plays the victim quite well. His pants, that his mom bought him, were too big, and when he went outside to clean up the neighborhood, they fell off of him. There you go Ihor, stick with that story. I would advise you to mention that you were doing the neighborhood clean up "for the children" and you'll be home free. Leftist Democrats just love that lie/excuse.



Ihor doesn't live in reality, which is another Democrat prerequisite, he claims he's from Mars. Perfect.

Finally, Ihor gets sentenced. Like many Democrats before him, he was in a court room, in handcuffs and before a judge, awaiting his fate. Like most Democrats, who are never told "no!" in their lives because it hurts their self esteem, and those Democrats that are never disciplined, this judge put it to Ihor and lectured him how people act in the real world.



Bottom line: I suspect with a little PR recovery and once he signs over his life to DNC, Ihor will be a candidate for office of some sort in 2016. You heard it here first, Ihor S. (D-Michigan).

Presidential Names For 2012, My Own Speculation

There's a lot of talk about the 2012 campaigns. It's early yes, and as much as I hate the early speculation before we're even at the November 2010 elections, allow me to join in the early speculation and go against my own preferences.

Here are my top contenders, in no particular order:

Congressman Paul Ryan - He has said he won't run and he states that his young children are the reason why. I see no reason not to take him at his word, but it doesn't mean I can't hope he'll run (and there's no reason he couldn't be a contender in 2016 and 2020). Congressman Ryan is pure and simply one of our movement's best idea generators. Ryan created the Roadmap For America's Future, a solid plan which is exactly counter to everything Barrack Hussein Obama has offered in his first 20 months in office. Ryan's congressional website is one of the better house websites around. Recently Ryan delivered the Republicans weekly address. One of my favorite lines from that address: "Let’s make the tough, forward-looking choices that will restore the promise and prosperity of this exceptional nation".

Herman Cain - I personally met Herman Cain in Georgia in 2004 when he was running for United State Senate. What a dynamic and captivating individual. Cain has maintained a public presence in recent years and I think he could be building his national name ID slowly but surely. He hosts a daily radio show on WSB in Atlanta, he writes and he speaks, traveling the country this summer with Americans For Prosperity speaking at the conferences in various states. Cain has a great personal story, growing up the son of a car driver who drove around wealthy business men, then later leading the resurgence of Godfather's Pizza chain.

Governor Mitch Daniels - Governor Daniels was recently told by Newt Gingrich to lead the media to believe he hasn't ruled out a run for President, that they would take him more seriously and give him more national coverage. So, I admit to not being sure what to make of the Governor's words and actions. Either way, Daniels has been an innovator and a real leader in Indiana. Earlier this year, George Will penned a column where he played out a scene in a future President Daniels administration. Mark McKinnon also weighed in with his thoughts on a Daniels candidacy.

Governor Chris Christie - The new Governor of New Jersey is making many friends in conservative circles online. Some of Governor Christie's speeches have been blunt and to the point. He has taken on the media. He visited with citizens at a Town Hall, and his speech became known as the "Day of Reckoning". He even told a teacher who was complaining about teacher pay that she didn't have to teach, this speech also generated a great line when the Governor said "unlike the United States of America, the state of New Jersey can't print money" with regard to people unhappy with certain budget cuts. Pragmatism at its finest. Not sure America is ready for that.

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich - For the record, I don't think Newt will run. I think he will lead people to think he is so that he is taken seriously as he proposes ideas, gives speeches and writes books, employing the strategy he suggested to Mitch Daniels above. Newt's work at American Solutions stands online in the depth and ideas he offers. A recent speech Newt delivered in Detroit could have been seen as a launching pad for anyone else in any given year, but for Newt it was business as usual: Ideas, ideas, ideas.

Liz Cheney - For those not familiar with the former Vice Presidents daughter and her qualifications, a brief bio will enlighten you. Liz Cheney has been a frequent and effective critic of the Obama Regime. Last year, Liz Cheney gave Anderson Cooper an education on CNN when he showed up less than prepared. A google search will reveal any number of great links to Cheney's writing and tv appearances. Cheney's group, Keep America Safe, released an ad earlier this year about Eric Holder and the DOJ. Cheney took some flack, but Erick Erickson at Red State came to her defense, here you can see both the ad and Erickson's response. Finally, in March of this year, Newsweek weighed in on Cheney at 2012. We'll have to wait and see.

I recently heard someone say they were sick and tired of Governors and Senators always being our candidates for President. I can see the sentiment there. I won't work my way down a list and automatically eliminate anyone who is or has been a Governor or Senator, but based on my list, Paul Ryan, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Liz Cheney would be good possibilities. I would also argue at this point that Governors Daniels and Christie are not typical of Governors past. Daniels has led Indiana during difficult times, he has made tough decisions and he has done some great things for the state through his leadership. Christie was elected, took office and has begun to act in the age of Obama, in times of extreme difficulty for America and for New Jersey, and for a Republican in New Jersey.

So that's my two cents, I am open to hearing what you think. Much like Obama was a no one in 2004 and got elected President 4 years later, is it possible we have no idea who the people are who will be our candidate(s) in 2016 and 2020?
