The Republican Leadership is the problem, not the solution.

Something very interesting has been happening on the political landscape lately.Grass-roots Conservative activity has not only flourished to levels never seen before, it has had an interesting effect on those who should be embracing it.

The Republican Party Leadership has been, up until O'Donnell's win in Delaware, quietly poo-pooing the Tea Party movement at the same time they are using them for fund raising. They are now openly attacking the Tea Party and real Conservatives in favor of supporting RINOS. Cornyn has already stated the NRSC will NOT support O'Donnell in preparation for the Novemeber election. He has since changed his position and publicly stated NRSC support but not until the firestorm had raged,

Karl Rove, Sen. John Cornyn and the NRSC are back to their old ways of simply wanting someone with an "R" next to their name to be elected.Conservative Ideology and Bona-Fides be damned.
They have gone so far as to not even report ANY information about the O'Donnell candidacy on the NRSC website. Electing RINOS, is not something our own Party leadership should have a hand in.

Rove was the "Architect" of the stunning house-cleaning of Republicans in 2006. For some odd reason, Hannity, Fox News and the Republican Intelligentsia seem to believe that Rove actually has opinions and advice that we, the unwashed masses of REAL Conservatives, should follow. Karl Rove is not a friend to Conservatives and anyone who believes he is, should NOT to be trusted.

The Republican Leadership has completely misjudged the Tea Party movement. To paraphrase Lee Iacocca, our Republican "Leadership" can either lead, follow or get out of the way. REAL Conservatives are taking our Party back.

Apple iPad == Apple iFail, More arrogance from Cupertino, CA

I just looked at the Apple release information about the new iPad tablet.

This product will do well with the Apple evangelists but it fails on several levels right from the outset.

1) No Flash or Java support from Web Browsing.
Someone needs to let Steve Jobs know that this is 2010 and the web is rich with sites that use
these technologies. Evidently Apple doesn't think they are important enough to support.

2) No Multi-Tasking
This is the single most important reason to ignore the iPad.
The idea that Apple designed this product this way from the beginning shows how
out of touch with the real world they are.

3) No user-accessible battery.
Yet again Apple makes another device that treats those who purchase it like children.
There is ZERO legitimate reason not to provide the user the ability to swap out batteries
at any time.

4) Locked in to the App Store for 3rd Party Applications
Yet again, the arrogance of Apple rears its ugly head.
People who purchase a computer have the right to determine what software they install on it.
Apple continues to act as if they do not.

5) Runs a modified iPhone OS.
Can't run ANY OSX software so right off the bat, the product has limited appeal.


Sorry Steve, I'll take a pass on your over-priced and over-sized iPhone clone.
