Newt or Impaler? 2008 Predictions
No one really knows who will be the Republican or Democrat Presidential nominee in two years. Well, maybe Hiro knows.
But I am going to make the following two predictions.
First, while he may not be the nominee, Newt Gingrich will define the issues and focus of the GOP campaign and has already begun to do so.
MANCHESTER, N.H. –Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday that First Amendment rights need to be expanded and cited the elimination of McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms as one solution.
Gingrich, a Republican, suggested allowing people to give any amount to any candidate as long as the donation is reported online within 24 hours.
“Just as tax lawyers always succeed in out-thinking the (Internal Revenue Service) because they stay after five and the IRS goes home, the private-sector lawyers will always out-think the (Federal Election Commission) because they stay after five and the FEC goes home,” Gingrich told about 400 people at the Nackey Scripps Loeb First Amendment Awards Honors dinner.
“We are the only society to say power comes from God to you personally and you loan part to the state,” Gingrich said. “It doesn’t begin with the lawyers , with the bureaucrats… If there is no creator, where do your rights comes from?”
My personal preference at the moment is Rudy Giuliani, but I have my eye on Newt as I think he would make a fantastic American leader in a time of turmoil. A Rudy-Newt ticket would be even better.
My second prediction: Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats will choose Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey as their Presidential nominee.
But I am going to have a fun time following the vampire’s campaign!

But can a historian be a successful President?

“…But can a historian be a successful President?”
Sir Winstion Churchill was an iminent historian, and certainly no-slouch as a national leader, and Theodore Roosevelt certainly was a student of history Personally, I’d rather have Newt as President without Rudy; but I certainly would put Rudy & Newt 2008 as my second strong-choice.

Bruce, how serious can The Impaler be? He’s using an old Queen track for his website background music… I last heard that one as muszak in a hotel elevator in Peoria for God sakes.
And Edna offers, “No capes, darling No capes.” Watch out VdaK, Bruce is squeezing on to your turf.

“Q: YOUR HALF SISTER, CANDACE, IS GAY. ROSIE O’DONNELL, WHO HAS COME OUT OF THE CLOSET, SAYS GAYS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ADOPT CHILDREN. SHOULD THEY?
A: There are a lot of practical relationships that we ought to find a way to accommodate. If your partner ends up in the hospital, there ought to be some ability to visit that partner. But I’m not in favor of creating the notion of gay marriage or gay adoption.”
http://www.newt.org/backpage.asp?art=2127
L: Let’s move on to another important topic, another important battle, the attack by homosexuals on God-ordained, God-defined one only man/woman marriage. I didn’t see anything in your book about that.
G: Well, I favor a Constitutional amendment to protect the traditional family and I think we should have such an amendment.
L: I assume you are against homosexuals being allowed to, quote, “marry,” unquote?
G: I don’t think that’s marriage.
L: How about civil unions? Where do you stand on that issue?
G: I stand on some kind of legal rights. I’m not sure where I stand on civil unions. It’s like marriage without marriage. I’ll give you a specific example of what I believe. People ought to have the ability to have people visit them in the hospital, which is the most obvious and awkward situation. There ought to be a way to arrange that. There ought to be some way to leave your estate to someone. There ought to be some way to arrange that.
L: Do you believe that homosexuality is a sin?
G: I think you have to. But, I also believe that all of us are sinners.
L: Well, but some folk’s do work a little harder at their sin than others, don’t they?
G: Yeah, but I’m just saying that I don’t want to be judgmental about others. I think that the —-
L: But we are talking about homosexuality. Scripture is very clear —- it’s an abomination to God.
G: That’s right. And that’s why I just agreed with you. I think that if you believe in the Bible, then it’s fairly clear. But, I’m not prepared to render judgment to individuals.
L: Do you think homosexuals ought to be able to adopt children?
G: No.
L: Do you think they should be allowed to teach in government run schools?
G: Yes.
L: Why?
G: Well, I think if you were going to try to populate schools with non-sinners you are going to have remarkably few teachers.
L: Oh, come on now. You know I’m not talking about sinners [in an original sin sense]. I’m talking about people who are —-
G: I’m perfectly happy to disagree. I respect very much your right to have a strong opinion.
L: I appreciate that.
G: And you can interpret the Bible —- there’s no question what the Bible says about this issue.
L: Right.
G: And therefore I think you come down to a core question of faith.
L: Yes.
G: But, there’s also no requirement that that then leads directly to public policy you just described.
L: Well, my thinking was something like that if people are homosexuals, that tells us something about their character and we care about the character —-
G: I don’t agree with that.
L: Oh, I see. Why do you think God calls it an abomination if it says nothing about their character?
G: I think there are many good and kind and decent people who may also be homosexuals.
L: Really?
G: Yes.
L. My goodness.
G: And you live in a very narrow world if you’ve never met one.
L: Narrow is the way that leads to salvation, Mr. Speaker; broad is the road that leads to destruction….

And he respects this man’s Christianist opinion. Wow.
MITT-N-NEWT 2008!!!

Newt’s my man. He’s got all the visionary ideas. If he is against gay marriage he’s not against civil unions. I’ve said it before. We should let straight couples have the word “marriage” and embrace incrementalism. Take civil unions for now and let marriage happen over time. If gays only support those pols who are for gay marriage, the list will be a small one of 2 people. One Dem one Republican.

So far as the subject of homosexuality is concerned, a homosexual is no better or worse than an adulterer. Fact is that adultry is always mentioned in Scripture ahead of fornication. Both must be repented of. The battle that is presently raging over homosexual rights is nothing more than a testament against the pervasive adultry rampant in what is called ‘straight society.’ Where adultry is not tolerated, homosexuality is not even an issue. As for the “Grinch,” I could never vote for someone who divorced his wife while she was dying of cancer.

First off, I wish to thank Bruce for posting the story about me.
As an elected representative of the American people, I am and have always been outraged on how the public and elected officials have portrayed the Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Communities.
Throughout my life, I have always found the Communities to be what the Christians profess to be, but are not.
Those in the Communities always seem to be; caring, considerate, non-judgmental and above all supportive to their fellow Americans.
The US Constitution does not discriminate against the Communities. Nor does prohibit same-sex marriages. So, why is this occurring in 2006?
Because of Christian right-wing Dictators like King George “Worthless” Bush.
I feel the treatment of the Communities by this Government, equally that of the tyranny our Founding Fathers fought against and died to change, during our War of Independence.
In 1982, when I suffered my life threatening accident during a training exercise in the Army, one of the medics who saved my life was Gay. Do you think I am going to throw a stone at anyone who’s Gay, Lesbian or Transgender? No way!!!!
I know most people think my campaign is a joke. Well, while I was in the “COFFIN” I achieved many positions in the Republican Party. As well as hanging out with Jeb Bush, and other Republican High Ranking Members. Not to mention, my family on my mother’s side, are very involved with the DNC.
Hence, I have the political connections of both major parties to pull the upset on 4 Nov 08.
The Communities can support a candidate who will ALWAYS support them, as well as their rights. As well as owes his life to a Gay Medic.
Regardless if the Communities support me or not, when I get elected, I will end unconstitutional attacks and discrimination that the Communities have endured decades.
Nel Sangue,
Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey

(This is the Speech I did today in Brunswick, Ohio OFFICIALLY announcing my candidacy for President in 2008)
Greetings My Fellow Americans and Media,
You know me as the Sanguinary Satanic Vampyre and Hecate Witch who on Friday the 13th of January this year announced my candidacy for Governor of Minnesota.
Though I fully sought and desired to help the people of Minnesota as their Governor, an evil from my past, even more evil that I am and can ever be, attacked me. This ended my quest for Governor.
In the world today, there are many evil people. Most are wolves in Christian Sheep clothing. The biggest is sitting in The Oval Office. King George “Worthless” Bush as I call him. He is in my eyes the main reason for the tragedy that occurred here on 9-11. Unlike when Ronald Reagan was President, our enemies don’t fear America or the President.
Our country is no longer looked upon with admiration, but as a joke. Why is our great country a joke?
Because the 3 presidents since Reagan, have been either; spineless, greedy, skirt chasing, and not to mention; lying hypocrites of their oaths of office.
A prime example of this; is recently when Valenzuela President Chavez while speaking at the UN mocked Bush, by calling him “the Devil.” Personally, I consider calling Bush the devil an insult upon my God. Chavez also went on to belittle our country. I challenge Chavez the next time he comes to America, to belittle my country in front of me. If he does, Chavez better have plenty of good doctors around, to put him back together again.
And now we have Mexico’s President wanting to have Duane “The Dog” Chapman extradited back to Mexico to be imprisoned for capturing convicted rapist Andrew Lester in their land, who was avoiding justice in America for his atrocities against women.
Mexico listen up! If you take the American “Dog” and imprison him, immediately upon becoming President I will order US Bombers to drop Hades’ Bombs upon specific targets in Mexico City, and while you’re attending to your city after I leveled it, I will have the US Army Special Forces break into the prison where “Dog” is being held captive, and bring him back home to America.
At the same time, my elite military group; The “Presidential Death Dealers” capture your President and bring him to me at The White House, where for the world to see, I will brutally torture, then Impale him.
No foreign country will ever hold an innocent American hostage or prisoner while I’m President. If they do, I will level their country, free the American, and Impale their President for his or her actions against my fellow American.
Not since the late and great President Ronald Reagan has this country been respected and feared worldwide.
The time for a change now. Like our Founding Fathers did on the 4th of July 1776, Americans need to Declare their Independence from the tyranny we are ALL suffering from.
The headlines are filled with stories of corrupt politicians, judges and law enforcement. Not to mention, how crime is at an all time high, and how we live in fear of attacks from terrorists and criminals everyday.
My fellow Americans, the time to end these tyrannies, and live again without fear of attacks is NOW.
Today is the beginning of a new hope for America’s future.
On 13 Sept 05 I filed my Statement of Candidacy for the Presidency with the Federal Election Commission. Today, I stand before you and make that statement a reality.
Unlike the 3 Presidents since Reagan, I will not bring shame to, or make America look weak. If anything, I will instill fear into criminals, our enemies, and especially terrorists – both foreign and domestic.
Terrorism and crime are a cancer upon American society that needs to be eradicated. This is my instrutment to eradicate this cancer and allow innocent Americans like yourselves, to once again live without fear of being attacked.
Additionally, unlike our previous 3 presidents I will not be sueded by “Big Business” nor political party backroom politics when it comes to Governoring this country. I am here to serve you and all Americans. I will bring peace into your lives.
My Magikal Path name is; Lord Ares – The Greek God of War. Like Clinton and the two Bush Presidents, I will bring war. However, unlike them, I will not send innocent Americans to their deaths.
On day one of my Presidency, I will unleash Hades’ Fire upon terrorism and those who support them. I will level Mecca to the ground. My first order as President I will order all our service women and men out of Iraq. As the last US Air Transporter is leaving Iraq airspace, bombers armed with Hades’ Bombs will begin a bombing campaign destroying the places where we know the al-Qaeda, insurgence and other terrorist groups who are a threat to us and future generations of Americans. This especially includes Mecca.
Though innocent people who may not support bin Laden and his beliefs will be killed, I feel it is a necessary sacrifice. I sooner kill innocent people in countries that support or hide terrorists, then allow another innocent American to be killed.
Besides foreign terrorists, Americans are threaten daily by domestic terrorism as well. Groups like: the Ku Klux Klan, the Church of Satan, and the Nation of Islam all spread messages of hate, just like bin Laden. Upon becoming President I will have my Death Dealers hunt these terrorists down, and bring them to me, to face justice. I will then IMPALED!
I will quickly dispose of those who spread hate trash, and end the stinking smell of hatred that is choking us ALL.
Every American has a constitutional right to belief and live as they want. However, no American has a right to spread hatred against another American. Nor does any American have a right to say what a couple in love can and can’t do.
What am I talking about? Gay and Lesbian relationships. Under my Presidency; Gays, Lesbians and Transgenders will have no better friend in The White House than me.
The US Constitution does not state that same sex couples can’t marry. Hence as President and an Ordained Dark Priest, I will marry them. Then let me see a state tell them their marriage is null and void. If a state official does, I will IMPALE them for it!
States represent government, that is not always for the American citizens that reside there. Hence, I will change the name of this Country to The Nation of United Americans. In the last couple of decades this nation has become divided. Under me, Americans will unite. As the saying goes; “United we stand. Divided we fall.” The time has come for us to stop falling in a negative spiral, and start reaching for the stars, along with making the American Dream a reality.
There have been postings on the Net, in which some have called me the “Anti-Christ.” Well, I am against Christian hypocrites, like King George and his Christian Right wing cronies. I am against Professional Christians – who preach one thing, but do another. So, I guess for lack of a better word, I am the “Anti-Christ.” But, unlike certain former Christian Presidents, especially the present President, I will not only fight, but I am willing to die to protect every American, and their rights.
My home state of New Jersey is known as the Crossroads of the American Revolution. Today, this proud Jersian declares in 2009 America will begin a new era. An era that our Founding Fathers fought and died for over 230 years ago, that we haven’t enjoyed for decades.
Victory is the birth right of the Vampyre. On Jan. 20, 2009 all Americans will prosper from my victory. Because this American Vampyre is out for BLOOD! The BLOOD of our enemies!
My name is Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey, and I am your next President! I GUARANTEE IT!!!!!!
