Don’t you just love it when you have several candidates in a primary all telling you that they are “The” true conservative?  Doesn’t it get more fascinating when they tell you why the OTHER fellow is not?

What is always amusing to me in such situations is when the candidate(s) who have the least chance of winning, the least number of volunteers and the least amount of money, are usually the ones telling you that you should never, ever compromise but should only vote for “principle.”

Amusing, since most often, it is precisely because they are the least likely candidate to earn a conservatives’ vote which is precisely WHY they have the least amount of donations, volunteers and support.

So, without reviewing those “principled” candidates who never had a chance but who are running for office either to push a particular point of view regardless of how little support that view has within the GOP or within the broader constituency of a general election, let me share my conclusions about this coming Tuesday’s GOP primary vote – noting that I reserve the right to change my mind about any (or all) of these.

I will vote for Rick Santorum because he has articulated my views as a Christian-conservative and has a track record that more closely matches his words than any other option I have next Tuesday.

While I have written about this more extensively in the past than I will do now, I must say that I respect Newt Gingrich’s choice to stay in the race, and I respect those who will vote for him on Tuesday.  If I thought there was any chance at all that he could defeat Mitt Romney on Tuesday then I’d have committed my vote for him as I did going into the South Carolina and Florida primaries when I said I’d have voted for him AT THAT TIME, if I lived there.

I have also noted that I own many of his books and CD’s, have been a longstanding admirer of his as well as a critic who has objected to some of those occasions when Newt Gingrich did not hew to the conservative line.

About Mitt Romney I have noted in the past that liberals, leftists and their allies within our ranks, argue the old George Wallace line, “not a dime’s worth of difference” between Mitt, Newt and Rick.  They’d have been saying that too, if Cain or Bachmann were in the finalist group.

To leftists, Obama is too moderate and all the Republicans (except Ron Paul who they often admire) are all too conservative, and all the same thing.  This is the only thing that in a way, I agree with them on – that is, I’d love for ANY of these three final conservative choices to replace Obama in the White House.

Both Newt and Rick are a more clear cut conservative alternative than Romney.  Neither looks like they have a chance of winning against Romney.

But I still have my vote, and it goes to Rick Santorum on Tuesday here in Pennsylvania.

For U.S. Senator it got a little bit more complex and not a perfect situation.

I’ll vote for Sam Rohrer, the overwhelming choice in the straw poll of conservatives at the PA Leadership Conference recently.  I have two reservations.

My first reservation about Sam is that he sounds like a liberal when it comes to foreign policy.  “Bring the boys home” was a fine mantra for the leftist candidate for President in 1972, George McGovern.

Demanding that every move a President makes should be approved by the Senate, will warm the hearts of all the leftists who aren’t ever going to vote for a conservative but, why should that excite the rest of us who vote in GOP primaries?

Sam Rohrer has two major problems for me, the first of which is that he sounds like a leftist when he speaks of foreign policy.

If President Ronald Reagan had to get permission first before sending fighter jets to surround and force to the ground the Abu Nidal terrorist gang escaping by airliner from the site of their crime we’d still be waiting for approval instead of celebrating their capture.

Perhaps Sam would have objected – as did the left – when President Reagan followed the advice of counter-terrorism director and National Security Agency staffer, Lt. Col. Oliver North, and sent fighter jets from one direction and fuel tankers from another for the long range sortie that captured the gang after they were forced down near Italy.

Perhaps today most do not recall that a wheelchair bound American, Leon Klinghoffer, was executed in front of his wife on the Greek cruise ship Achille Lauro.

Perhaps the Senate would have had a “short” debate, perhaps just a few weeks, and in the end approved the no-longer secret plan drawn up by Colonel North and approved by Ronald Reagan himself to go after what the FBI at the time called “the most dangerous terrorist gang in the world.”  Sure.  When pigs fly.

In the end, perhaps over the objection of Sam Rohrer and others who are part of our conservative cause today, then President Ronald Reagan said “you can run but you cannot hide” after the terrorists had been brought to justice.

And who lived through that period and can ever forget the allies of Fidel Castro who seized power in the island-nation of Grenada and were building an airstrip for a new fighter base for MIG-21 jets to be stationed just off America’s southern coast?

After another Oliver North plan was approved by Ronald Reagan and executed with success, the American hostages held captive by the Cuban trained and led revolutionaries in Grenada were freed and returned to America to kiss the ground as they came off the plane exclaiming for the live TV cameras “God bless America.”  There weren’t many dry eyed Americans that day.

And the liberal-left’s reaction was to demand the impeachment of President Reagan for not first getting U.S. Senate permission in advance – never mind stealth, secrecy and surprise in attacking the enemies of America.

The liberal left has always said the same thing – they don’t want American power ever used abroad, they always want the President to get permission first.

And until recently, conservatives have said that the Constitution is very clear that we have but one Commander in Chief, and if the Senate or House doesn’t like what he is doing they have the power to rein him in at any time they want, so put up, or shut up.

But this is one issue where reasonable conservatives take exception with Sam Rohrer.

The second exception I would take with Rohrer is simply this: he has a lousy track record of recruiting, organizing and creating a volunteer base and a base of conservative donors.

You cannot overcome the GOP regular machine – large sized donations and many donors, and many volunteers – with a small army of donors and volunteers.  You simply cannot be competitive, and those who support you are often just throwing away their time and their money if you don’t plan and recruit and build your own army.

I fear that once again, just as when he ran for Governor, the favorite of conservatives and despite my complaints, the favorite of the undersigned, has failed us on recruiting and building his own army.

No one else has emerged who speaks for me on as many issues as does Sam Rohrer in this U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania so reluctantly but without any further hesitation I’m voting for him, once again, as I voted for him for Governor in the past – both in the primary and as a write in November.

We have in Steve Welch a smooth talking product of the GOP party machine who will blow with the wind and very expertly say whatever is popular this week and in front of whichever audience he happens to be speaking at the moment.

Welch told one attendee at the candidate forum of Americans for Christian Traditions in our Nation (ACTION of PA) this past December that he’d not mentioned anything about his faith because he never speaks of his faith.

I reported here in recently how Steve Welch completely dodged the question about what he would do to defend against the Obama Administration’s recent assaults on religious liberty.

Welch instead defied the debate organizers at the PA Leadership Conference to tell us about his favorite American success story – his own – after they’d specifically said please answer the question we asked, not tell us about yourself which is in the literature they had given the attendees.

That was the debate after which the straw poll was announced showing a decisive win for Sam Rohrer at the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference.

One of his opponents is running TV commercials to let us know that Steve Welch voted for Barack Obama just four years ago.

Well now.  I’d normally go along with a conservative friend of mine at ACTION of PA who asked, “but isn’t that what we want – Obama voters to come over to our side?”

It isn’t that which I would object to.  It is the opportunist I see that causes me the problem.

Steve Welch told people at the Dec. candidate forum that he was so upset with the Republicans a few years back that he defected from their ranks but today realized it was a mistake.

Let me ask you dear reader: have you ever heard of a conservative who was so mad at the Republican Party that he quit that party, changed his registration?

Sure we’ve all heard such stories.

But wait… have you ever heard of a conservative so upset with the Republicans for not being conservative enough, who changed his registration from Republican to Democrat and then voted for Barack Obama for President?

And lest there be any doubt about this, have you ever heard any explanation from Steve Welch about what issues had him so angry that he left the GOP?

Have you ever heard Steve Welch explain why, if the GOP wasn’t conservative enough for him – which is what he implies (but doesn’t state) – why would he then vote for the more liberal-leftist Barack Obama?

Did Steve Welch foolishly believe that former Saul Alinsky, radical-leftist Barack Obama was the more conservative choice versus Senator McCain and Sarah Palin?

What should we deduce from his mealy-mouthed explanation today, that he was so mad at the Republicans that he defected and left the GOP?

I’ll tell you what I conclude: the smooth talking Steve Welch isn’t telling us the whole story.  I believe he was a victim of the old “George Bush Derangement Syndrome” where the mere mention of the Bush name makes a leftist jump up and down in anger, totally out of control.

And of course, if anybody had any doubt about Steve Welch I trust you will recall that the same Republican Party State Central Committee that told us Arlen Specter was their ideal for a U.S. Senator – just before he thumbed his nose at them and switched to Democrat to help push through passage of ObamaCare – also more recently endorsed Steve Welch.

So if you liked Arlen Specter you’ll just love Steve Welch.  The PA GOP machine says so.

What possible reason in the world would a conservative want Steve Welch as your U.S. Senate nominee against a more conservative-sounding Democrat like Bob Casey?  Is this a joke?

I don’t think any of us should hold against each other differences in who we’d prefer for the GOP nominee for President but anybody who says he is a conservative and who supports Welsh is going to have serious credibility problems in the future among the rank and file of our movement, including the undersigned.

I’ll vote for Sam Rohrer but if on Tuesday I see a poll that shows ANY of the other candidates has the better chance to defeat Steve Welch and that Sam is out of reach of winning I will switch my vote to stop Steve Welch and not even blink or think twice about it.

In the 4th Congressional District we have an open seat with the pending retirement of 6-term Rep. Todd Platts.  We also have had the city of Harrisburg added to the congressional district and the loss of some Republican precincts.  That means a very red district has become a bit more of a battleground than in the past, and it is an open seat and hence more vulnerable.

So let me remind my RED STATE minded friends what that means: in the 4th district the issue is whether or not Nancy Pelosi gets this congressional seat to help put her back in power.  It isn’t just about the issues being battled out but also about that important question that is of serious concerne to many conservatives and to the undersigned.

We’ve had a number of debates in the district, which I have reported on.

One candidate who appears to the undersigned to be the most consistent conservative is Ted Waga.  Sadly, he has so little financial support that as of the final days before the end of this campaign he has yet to file a financial report with the Federal Election Commission – meaning less than $5,000.  He also scores less than 2 percent of the vote in the recently undertaken poll reported in the York Daily Record.

Some of the people who are pushing Ted Waga have been big critics of the GOP machine and of Rep. Todd Platts.   The complaint back at them is that they have no idea of how legislation is passed and the work done to get legislators to support what you want passed.  They don’t lobby as much as complain after the loss of a vote, is the complaint I’ve heard.

While Ted Waga cannot and should not be held responsible for what his supporters say, it is a fair assessment at this late hour that the fellow who appears to be the most consistent conservative in the race has no money, no army of campaign workers and poll standings that show he is not anywhere close to the front of the pack.  So while I like Ted Waga and I would happily consider voting for him, there’s another issue at stake in this race.

I’ve reported how 40 GOP state legislators withdrew their signature from the “Women’s Right to Know” legislation, and one of those 40 is State Rep. Scott Perry.

I believe Scott Perry is a good man, would make a great GOP nominee and a great U.S. Congressman.  I would happily vote for him if he were the GOP nominee.

But I’m with Ann Bunn, Father Houser and Pastor Ken Gibson (Chairman of ACTION of PA) who have all been reported in this column saying (to quote Ann Bunn again), “I will never vote for a pro-abortion candidate.”

The two front runners with 12% of the GOP vote, according to the York Daily Record commissioned poll, are State Representative Scott Perry and York County Commissioner Chris Reilly.

The two candidates who have raised the MOST money by a very wide margin, are again: Chris Reilly and Scott Perry.

The two candidates who on issue after issue appear to be the most conservative in general are Chris Reilly and Scott Perry – but both are behind Ted Waga in my view, on this one important analytic.  But both Reilly and Perry have a background of having won elections and having served in office, and have both delivered results they promised.

But the one candidate who had disappointed me the most in the past month has been Scott Perry because of his withdrawal of sponsorship of HB 1077, the Women’s Right to Know legislation, and his failure to come out swinging in support of the ideal.

For those who did not read my previous reports on this battle, Planned Parenthood in PA has fought proposed legislation which would force them to show an expectant mother who comes to them for an abortion, the ultra sound image that they admit to taking in 99% of all cases they do an abortion.

HB 1077 is similar to legislation in 23 other states requiring them to offer this option.  The bill is stalled and facing defeat in the GOP controlled state legislature after Scott Perry and other legislators withdrew their sponsorship.

Worse, Scott Perry said he is NOT in favor of making abortion illegal.

Worse still, Scott Perry has a list of conditions under which he says abortion would be OK.

Shall we make a list of conditions under which we’d say premeditated murder would be OK as well?

Should we propose a law that the conscience of the murderer will decide when murder is OK and legal?

It is an unsupportable position that Scott Perry has taken on this, even as he looked Father Sam Houser and Pastor Ken Gibson in the eye and told them point blank last Wednesday in the St. Patrick Catholic Church conference room, “I’m 100% pro-life.”  He isn’t, according to his own words a few days later in the ACTION of PA debate (last Friday night, see my earlier report).

So while I appreciate much about his background and his championing of many other conservative issues, for me in a primary this is a make or break issue and it is conclusive for me and other Christian-conservatives.

Three endorsements which influenced me in favor of Chris Reilly are: (1) York County ACTION Chairman, Pastor Ken Gibson, (2) US Senator Pat Toomey (what a GREAT TV commecial!), (3) Steve Johnson (my FB friend, ACTION of PA York County Board member & past candidate for state office),

I’ll vote for Chris Reilly for U.S. Congress because he has the best chance of winning, appears to be very much aware that the right to life is not subject to a laundry list of exceptions, has a good track record as a fiscal conservative, is a former “Statesman of the Year” of ACTION of PA.

Chris Reilly has the best chance to win the GOP primary, has a proven track record as a County Commissioner and the support of a number of conservative Christians who I admire and respect.

No legislator at the recent Americans for Christian Traditions in our Nation got a more enthusiastic reception to his remarks than State Rep. Seth Grove.  Despite his being challenged by someone who has been identified as a “Tea Party” conservative I’ve actually never once read of any serious policy disagreement between the challenger versus the GOP in general or the incumbent Seth Grove in particular.

Instead, I have read what I call Occupy Wall Street complaints, ie. the rich bankers, the corporations, the rich people versus us little people.

It is very interesting to me, to see so many people trying to appeal to conservatives in a GOP primary election using the rhetoric that has been employed by the left and by the followers of Saul Alinsky for more than 40 years.

This rhetoric leaves me rather cold.  Not only does such leftwing sounding rhetoric not motivate me to vote for a candidate who employs it but it makes me want to rush to the other candidate as quickly as I can to offer my support, aside from the generally very good track record of Seth Grove.

If I could vote once again or choose one more district I could vote it, as my regular readers know from several previous columns, I would go in a big way for Andy Shaw (joinAndy.org) knowing that not only would we have toppled Planned Parenthood’s favorite GOP State Senator with his victory but we would get TWO outstanding champions of Christian conservative values – the conservative-Christian-attorney team of Andy and Andrea Shaw.

I note that the state chairman of Americans for Christian Traditions in our Nation, Jay McKiernan, has issued an all-points bulletin for volunteers to flood the district, for donations to come from anywhere and everywhere in America and has put his own “money where his mouth is” on this race to support the ACTION of PA endorsed candidate by knocking on doors to seek votes for Andy Shaw.  To join him go to http://JoinAndy.org.

So I’m voting for Rick Santorum for President.  Either Sam Rohrer for Senator or any other candidate who can stop Steve Welch according to the latest polls 10 minutes before I cast my vote for the GOP nominee for U.S. Senator on Tuesday.  For Chris Reilly for Congress.  I wish I could vote for Andy Shaw for State Senator in the district further away near Harrisburg.  And for Rep. Seth Grove.

Rick Santorum for President.  Chris Reilly for Congress.  Andy Shaw for State Senate.  Reelect Seth Grove as State Representative.

I welcome your comments and reactions, and any other suggestions for primary election day in Pennsylvania this coming Tuesday, April 24.

PCW Extreme Political TV
Rushmore Plaza Civic Center
Rapid City, SD
Monday April 16, 2012
Host: Johnny Suave

Nancy Pelosi’s Office
PCW Women’s Champion Kathryn Randall Collins barges into Pelosi’s office and demands that she get the PCW Competition Committee overturn the stipulation from last week that gave Miss USA a title chance.

Replay: The Mercenaries: Dawn McGill and Sventlana Kovalevski vs.
Code Pink and Emily S. List- if the Mercenaries win Miss USA gets a title shot
against KRC
…KRC then interjects herself into the match by dragging Kovalevski out of the ring and List locks McGill up in the Abdominal Stretch. List, seeing McGill’s daughter ringside, starts taunting her. Then she lifts McGill up to body slam her and feels a sharp pain in her derriere. She drops McGill and turns around to see McGill’s 2 year old daughter smiling. List,
distracted, then gets walloped by a kendo stick shot by McGill and that’s all.

McGill gets the pin and Miss USA gets her title shot coming up Thursday night on PCW Politics is War on P-SPAN.

Pelosi doesn’t make any promises but tells KRC she’ll see what she can do.

Suave starts the show in the ring with the PCW Champion The Sanderman (D).  Democrats Harry Reid (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) accompany him ringside.

Replay: The Sanderman’s win over former PCW Champion Daniel-San at a
PCW House Show to win the title.

The PCW Champion says there is not one second  that he ever thought he was going to lose once he got in the ring with Daniel-San.  The Sanderman says he had the Democrats behind 100% his win proves that a true champ retains the will to win even through their most disappointing setbacks.  He says he hasn’t been in PCW all that long but he wondered how everyone would react after he won the belt.  The crowd cheers.

The Sanderman blasted Daniel-San for lashing out and making excuses. The crowd chants “What A Loser.”  Suddenly, the crowd roars as Yamamoto Tanaka (R) and Mitt Romney (R-MA) appear at the top of the ramp.  Tanaka strides down the ramp and climbs into the ring.

Suave announces that the main event for June’s PCW Loose Cannons Unleashed 8 PPV will be Tanaka vs. The Sanderman for the PCW title!  The crowd roars again.

Tanaka nods and then offers The Sanderman a handshake.  The Sanderman accepts and then Tanaka boots him in the stomach.  Powerbomb.  Then he drags the champion to the top turnbuckle…JAPANESE SUPERDESTROYER!  Romney claps and then gets on the microphone to tell PCW CEO Barack Obama (D-IL) to ‘start packing.’

MATCHES SIGNED FOR JUNE’S PCW LOOSE CANNONS UNLEASHED 8
PPV:
-PCW Television Title Match: ‘The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism (D) (c) vs. Valora Salinas
-PCW Title Match: The Sanderman (D) vs. Yamamoto Tanaka (R)

MATCHES SIGNED ALREADY FOR
NOVEMBER’S PCW EXTREME ELECTION NIGHT 2012:
Ohio- Sherrod Brown (D) vs. Josh Mandel (R)
Virginia- George Allen (R) vs. Tim Kaine (D)
Massachusetts- Scott Brown (R) vs. Elizabeth Warren (D)

(1) Daniel-San defeats Brad Company

Company, still waiting for the PCW Super Court to render its decision concerning health care, falls victim to the Labell Lock.  Post match, John Creese and the Cobra Conservatives attack Daniel-San again.

Mrs. Miyagi and Halitosis race down to make the save again.  But then…

Tom Tebow- Tim Tebow’s long lost, black sheep brother

Tebow and suspended St. Louis Rams Defensive Co-ordinator Gregg Williams hit the ring and attack Halitosis.  Williams throws Mrs. Miyagi from the ring and Tebow then uses a lead
pipe on Halitosis’s knee.  Then he blasts him in the head with the lead pipe and then leaves with Williams after collecting a bounty from Creese and the Cobra Conservatives.

PCW Competition Committee Meeting
Pelosi makes the case that the stipulation giving Miss USA her title shot this Thursday night should be vacated.  Predictably, John Boehner (R-OH) is against it.  They vote and defeat
Pelosi’s measure largely along party lines.

Undaunted, KRC vows to take it to the PCW Executive Committee.

Suave talks about the recent controversy involving Pippa Middleton and the driver of a car she was riding pointing a gun at paparazzi.

M de Soultrait: “Pippa is a very good friend of mine and this gun affair is very silly. It was a children’s toy that the driver had in his car. Pippa thought it was funny. It is fine in France to do that and the police are not investigating,”

Suave: Ahhhh.  That explains France’s performance against the Germans in World War 2- toy guns.

Then famed rocker, ‘The Motor City Madman’ Ted Nugent strolled out with the other members of Politically Incorrect.

Politically Incorrect (from left): NRA, Andrea Doria (up), Al Cahall (down), and Nic Koteen

Nugent says the whole French thing is overblown and another reason that if Barack Obama is still the PCW CEO after November, he will be dead or in jail.

Suave: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Nugent: Our CEO, and legal counsel, our second in command, Hillary Clinton — they’re all criminals.  We’re Americans because we defied the king. … We are patriots, we are bravehearts. We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November like those Frenchy types did during the French Revolution.

Suave calls Nugent’s comments ‘strong’ (a vertiable understatement) and wonders if that will get the attention of PCW Secret Security force.

Box Suite Above the Arena
PCW Secret Security parties hard with members of the GSA.  Even Hillary Clinton (D-NY) is there swigging beers and dancing around.

Suave: Or maybe not…

(2) PCW Tag Team Non-Title Match: Scott Walker’s Rangers: The Walker Brothers- Ronnie and John (R) def. Tag Team Champions Big Union: ‘The Self Proclaimed Savior of the Middle Class’ Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker

Post match, both teams continue to brawl with Ronnie Walker and James the Jeep Worker fighting into the crowd while John Walker and Big Labor fought in the ring.

PCW Executive Committee Meeting
Harry Reid makes the case to vacate the stipulation giving Miss USA her title shot Thursday night.  But the Republicans filibuster the measure and the Democrats can’t get the 60 votes
needed to stop it.

KRC angrily walks out of the room.

Backstage
PCW Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein talks with Miss USA about the upcoming match.  Miss USA tells Bernstein that she’s going to prove that a woman can be a mother and hold a career and the two don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Ann Romney walks out to join the conversation.  Mrs. Romney offers to be in Miss USA’s corner Thursday night.  Bernstein notes that Hilary Rosen (D) is going to be in KRC’s corner for the match.

Miss USA turns Ann Romney down and says she doesn’t want to make this a political battle.  Besides, she’s got all the back up she needs in…

The Mercenaries: Dawn McGill and Svetlana
Kovalevski

The Three Stooges Appear
Larry (Sean Hayes), Curly (Will Sasso) and Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos) come out and entertain the crowd with their eye gouges, the nyuk nyuks, the open handed slaps and the other forms of physical comedy.  Suave wonders if the Three Stooges movie can unseat ‘The
Hunger Games at the box office.

Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss in the movie ‘The Hunger Games’) walks out and whips out her bow and shoots three arrows striking each Stooge.  The trio fall to the ground.

Suave: Guess that’s a no.

Why should you buy this book?

Jesusland v Progressiveville isn’t the usual predictable partisan trashing of the other side like other political books. J v P doesn’t pander to the fringes of both sides like most books do.

Jesusland vs Progressiveville parodies the very ones responsible for over the top devisive political discussion: Markos Moutilsas, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Ann Coulter, Ed Schultz, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Alec Baldwin among others.

The cover with Sarah Palin and Keith Olbermann sums up just what our political discourse has become.

Brought to you by the same demented bunch behind Political Championship Wrestling and not bought and paid for by big corporations or either political party, Jesusland vs. Progressiveville is a political satire that would be f#$@ing hilarious if parts of the book wasn’t painfully true about the abject dysfunction in American politics.

Available at Amazon.com and other online bookstores.

Back in the ring, Suave talks with Mitt Romney and Yamamoto Tanaka.  Romney says he is going to introduce the new face of PCW—a man who will carry the PCW banner for years to come.  The crowd boos as Tanaka raises his hands.

Tanaka, through an interpretor, thanks Romney and gets more boos from the audience.  Romney says Tanaka brings legitimacy back to PCW and he’s immediately interrupted by the PCW Champion The Sanderman (D).

The Sanderman doesn’t even bother with pleasantries as he charges Tanaka and a brawl ensues.  Romney bails as both men unload on each other.  PCW Security hits the ring to separate the two as the show ends.

Republicans gone missin’ again – in 2010 they received an injection of new blood energetic men and women ready to “take back our Country. But, the Old Republican Establishment gave them a grand welcome and shot them in the foot every time they stepped forward with a substantial idea that would strengthen our Nation’s foundation.

What the freshmen didn’t know is the Old Republican Establishment has been around for a long time and they’re happy basking in the sun, playing golf and living high on the hog off of taxpayer’s money. They actually black balled the freshman stars like Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Michelle Bachmann and played their usual game of politics just enough to throw the freshmen off their game plan.

Boehner kept stirring the pot, putting on a lot of nonsensical theatrics in an attempt to appease Americans using Obama’s favorite mode of operation, distraction and division of the troops. Boehner shed a few tears and jumped around like a hyena with hemorrhoids, but the X-rated theatrics was just a replay of their tomfoolery and monkey shines since Newt Gingrich left the White House.

Listening to Boehner’s update again this week was pretty much like listening to a teenager trying to explain away his over charged credit card. Boehner starts out by tattling on the Obama Administration and finishes by telling us that gas prices are high, inflation has kicked us in the butts and the economy stinks. It’s all show and go, nothing more or nothing less just a carefully planned canned speech so the Old Republican Establishment can just keep kicking the can down the road.

In 2009 Americans reluctantly handed over 787 billion dollars to the one some call Obama never to see the money again. Where were those bright eyed bushy tailed Republicans who promised to watch our backside and keep us safe? Gone Missin’!

Not one Republican watched out for us, because they were too busy sitting on their a- – - s enjoying the good life and spending our money. Americans were stonewalled and the Republicans in the White House have to take full responsibility for their negligent attitude – the Republicans didn’t have a clue, nor did they care where our stimulus money was going, who the beneficiaries were or whose pockets Obama was lining with our money during his redistribution spree.

They seem to think that they have some sort of political immunity when it comes to the oath Article VI of the Constitution specifies that members of Congress shall be bound by an oath to support the Constitution.

The Republicans go under the false assumption that telling Americans after the fact is just hunky dory and removes all responsibility from them as public servants working for the people. We heard about the GM scam after the fact. They told us about the “green company” scandals like Solyndra, Sun State, Fisker after millions of dollars have been confiscated never to be seen again.

They ooh and ah over the GSA scandal and the latest the secret service scandal in Columbia, but they’re always a day late and a dollar short – they feign shock every time Americans get hit below the belt. They tell us about the obscene bonuses being handed out to the Freddie, Fannie, AIG and Solyndra executives but once we’re told they consider their mission completed.

Congress knew about the Fast and Furious gunrunner operation before the murders of Brian Terry, Jaime Zapata and hundreds of innocent Mexican men, women and children because AIG sent Congress a memo discussing the changes that must be implemented, the lack of organization and dangers that the operation imposes, but not one Republican stood up and did anything about it.

They waited until Issa and Grassley blew the lid off the operation and then they half -heartedly demanded that Eric Holder resign.

When they succumbed to the pressures of the Obama Administration and talked us into raising the debt ceiling; they sealed that deal by promising frivolous Government spending would be ruthlessly cut to pay for the increase, but that didn’t happen. They allowed Elena Kagan to slip thru the cracks and become a Supreme Court Justice because frankly they were just too damn lazy to do their homework.

They’ve been missin’ since Newt Gingrich left our White House because once Newt was gone they revived their “Elite Club” fattened up their bank accounts and have been living happily ever after.

So America it’s time to “Take Back Our Country” for as Ronald Reagan said, To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last – but eat you he will.
Ronald Reagan

Let’s quit feeding the crocodiles for they are eating us for breakfast, lunch and dinner one bite at a time. Stand up and fight for your children, grandchildren and generations to come and let’s restore our Nation to “One Nation under God with Liberty and Justice for All.”

May God Bless America

PCW Never a Dull Moment in Denver Recap
Ogden Theater
Denver, CO
Saturday April 14th, 2012

The show began with ‘The Massachusetts Redblood’ Mitt Romney (R-MA) coming out and taking an ad-hoc victory lap around the theater to celebrate his presumed coronation as the Republican opponent for PCW CEO ‘The Political Natural’ Barack Obama (D-IL) in the fall.

Newt Gingrich then stormed out and demanded a one on one match against Romney.  Gingrich then was grabbed by security and then forcibly dragged out of the building while shouting “THIS IS ALL FOX NEWS’S FAULT!”

(1) The Green World Order: Radishing Rick Rube- Agronomist and ‘Extreme Vegan’ Brock Cole Lee w/GreenPete, PeaceNick, and Peta from PETA def. Politically Incorrect: NRA and Nic Koteen w/ Al Cahall and Andrea Doria with Guest Referee MSNBC‘s Rachel Maddow.

NRA nearly had the Extreme Vegan pinned but Maddow pulled up before finishing the three count.  Rube then broke a flower pot over NRA’s head and Brock Cole Lee hooked the legs for the pin.

After the match, the GWO forced the crowd to watch those hideous anti-smoking ads that’ve been playing on TV…

Anti-Smoking Commercial 2012

Charlie Blackwell of the American Heartland Coalition came out with his Les Miserables and offered his own graphic, hard hitting commercial.

1) A family leaves their house after it’s been foreclosed on by the bank
2) A husband and wife fight because money is tight and the bills aren’t getting paid
3) An employee is informed that he will not be getting a pay increase this year and should be just thankful he has a job.
4) The printing press keeps on printing money because Republicans and Democrats continue to spend it at record levels and run up huge federal deficits and debt.
5) Finally, the most disgusting part of the commercial, Republican and Democrat special
interest groups feeding from a large Federal trough paid for by the American Taxpayer.

Democrats The Sanderman- also PCW Champion and  ’The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism- PCW Television Champion run down to the ring at the same time the Republican Establishment (Corporate Might’s Big Oil and Kirk Walstreit) do.  They bump into each other and an awkward moment ensues.

Why should you buy this book?

Jesusland v Progressiveville isn’t the usual predictable partisan trashing of the other side like other political books.  J v P doesn’t pander to the fringes of both sides like most books do.

Jesusland vs Progressiveville parodies the very ones responsible for over the top devisive political discussion: Markos Moutilsas, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Ann Coulter, Ed Schultz, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Alec Baldwin among others.

The cover with Sarah Palin and Keith Olbermann sums up just what our political discourse has become.

Brought to you by the same demented bunch behind Political Championship Wrestling and not bought and paid for by big corporations or either political party, Jesusland vs. Progressiveville is a political satire that would be f#$@ing hilarious if parts of the book wasn’t painfully true about the abject dysfunction in American politics.

Available at Amazon.com and other online bookstores.

Tom Tebow- Tim Tebow’s long lost, black sheep brother

Post match, Tebow went up to former New Orleans Saints Defensive Co-ordinator Gregg Williams and collected a bounty for knocking SNAFU out.

PCW REWIND: May, 2011

Pippa Middleton dances in her bra for the PCW crowd.

Hilary Rosen (D) accompanied the PCW Women’s Champion Kathryn Randall Collins (D) to the ring.  Rosen points up to the box where Mitt Romney is celebrating with his wife Ann and mocks Romney saying his wife helped him understand the economic challenges women face.

Rosen: “Guess what?  His wife has actually never worked a day in her life.  She’s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing, in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school, and why do we worry about their future.”

KRC then compares her to Miss USA giving up her career for over a year to have a baby with her husband.  KRC says Miss USA’s decision to put her family over her career is an affront to the women’s movement.

Miss USA

Out walks Miss USA flanked by the Mercenaries…

The Mercenaries: Dawn McGill and Svetlana Kovalevski

McGill, holding a kendo stick in one hand and her daughter’s hand in the other, and Kovalevski, carrying her son, challenge Code Pink and Emily S. List (D) to a match with a stipulation- if the Mercenaries win, KRC must put her PCW Women’s title on the line against Miss USA.  If they lose, Miss USA, McGill, and Kovalevski will leave PCW.

KRC accepts and the match is on.

(3) The Mercenaries: Dawn McGill and Svetlana Kovalevski w/Miss USA vs. Code Pink and Emily S. List w/PCW Women’s Champion Kathryn Randall Collins (D)

Code Pink goes for the glitter bomb early but it backfires – literally.  Pink blinds herself and she’s on the shelf for the rest of the match leaving List to fend for herself against McGill and Kovalevski.

Hilary Rosen tries to intervene but out of nowhere Ann Romney runs to the ring and tackles her. Rosen and Romney roll all over the ring causing ‘The Voice of PCW’ to shout:

Johnny Suave: “CAT-FIIIIIIIIIIGHT!  CAT-FIIIIIIIGHT!

KRC then interjects herself into the match by dragging Kovalevski out of the ring and List locks McGill up in the Abdominal Stretch.  List, seeing McGill’s daughter ringside, starts taunting her.  Then she lifts McGill up to body slam her and feels a sharp pain in her derriere.  She drops McGill and turns around to see McGill’s 2 year old daughter smiling.  List, distracted, then gets
walloped by a kendo stick shot by McGill and that’s all.

McGill gets the pin and Miss USA gets her title shot coming up Thursday night on PCW Politics is War on P-SPAN.

Mitt Romney was not my first choice for President. Frankly, he didn’t make my top three. I was initially enthusiastic about Tim Pawlenty. Later, I volunteered in Iowa and South Carolina for Gov. Perry. Lastly, I campaigned in Tennessee for Rick Santorum. Now it appears inevitable that Gov. Romney will be our nominee. (No offense to my Newt friends, but he’s batting 2-31 out of states that have weighed in so far, and he’s batting even worse if you throw in D.C., Puerto Rico and Guam.) So my goals now are to elect solid conservatives to the US Senate and House this fall and work to elect Mitt Romney President.

While I’m no political genius, I am something of a student of politics. I’ve volunteered on multiple GOP national presidential campaigns including campaigning for Bush in Florida in 2004, and I have a degree in political science and history. Here’s some keys I think Gov. Romney needs to utilize in order to win this fall.

1) Romney must frame the debate by relentlessly going on offense against Barack Obama. Romney held nothing back in attacking his GOP opponents. He needs to follow the same guidelines in going after Obama. Romney would be wise to study Ronald Reagan’s speech at Liberty State Park, NJ in 1980. Reagan opened his presidential campaign on Democratic turf, and he delivered a speech for the ages holding nothing back against Jimmy Carter. Romney’s speech following his Illinois primary victory is precisely the kind of speech he needs to deliver day in and day out through November. I encourage you to watch the speech in its entirety. It is one of Romney’s finest moments of the campaign.

Obama will attempt to make Romney a villain, so Romney must turn the tables and consistently pound Obama’s disgraceful economic record (sky high unemployment, blocking energy development and the 100% increase in gas prices since Obama took office, drunken deficit spending, etc), shameless identity politics (war on women) and socialist rhetoric and policies (e.g. class warfare, Obamacare, etc). Let’s face it: the GOP primary was primarily white noise to Democrats and Independents, so any prior Romney attacks on Obama have not really been heard by swing voters.

Romney will be outspent and outgunned financially by Obama, so Romney must introduce bold arguments and bold ideas (continue to embrace Paul Ryan’s economic reform ideas and develop a few good ones—bring back drill baby drill, introduce a flat tax, etc) to steer the national debate to the right. All Romney has to do is talk about North Dakota. They’re drilling their socks off up there, and unemployment is under 4%.

2) Deploy Ann Romney. She has the star power potential of Sarah Palin. Just unleash her. She has a compelling life story to tell—of overcoming cancer and fighting MS. It takes a woman of strength to raise 5 boys as successfully as she has. The American people will grow to love her. Ann Romney has the potential to be a better spokesman than Romney’s VP nominee. Send Ann to swing states where women can sway the election. She will do nothing but help Mitt Romney. Just look how the Hilary Rosen attack backfired. Hilary Rosen, Obama loyalist and White House guest on 35 occasions over the last three years, pulled off a seemingly unimaginable task—uniting the right behind Mitt Romney. On the down side, Rosen’s White House pass has likely been revoked through the election.

3) Select a solid VP nominee. Attention team Romney: take all that charming stuff you keep reading about Rob Portman in the WaPost and NY Times, and get it out of your heads. Portman would be a very bad VP nominee, although I think he’d potentially be a great Chief of Staff or Commerce Secretary. Portman is Mr. Establishment, and he is far from youthful. He’s like an Ohio version of Mitt Romney. Portman would bring about as much enthusiasm to the ticket as a Joe Biden cameo at a Pittsburg St. Patty’s Day parade. A Portman VP selection does not compute. Romney doesn’t need to doubledown on country-club Republicans. He needs some conservative bona fides. At the same time, Romney doesn’t need somebody who would overshadow him (goodbye Newt and Santorum from the veepstates). However, he solidifies his candidacy if he selects someone who passionately articulates conservatism and lives it. This winnows the field to a few excellent VP choices: Allen West (articulates conservatism fluently, is youthful, represents a must-win swing state, brings military experience to the ticket, generates enthusiasm among conservatives and potentially cuts into Obama’s African American support), Marco Rubio (also a great conservative spokesman, has won a statewide election in a must-win swing state, is youthful and has the potential to help the GOP win the Hispanic vote), Paul Ryan (a policy genius, has a youthful and winsome personality, is eloquent in arguing conservatism, represents a swing state, has routinely taken on Obama) and Rick Perry (brings military experience to the ticket, has an outstanding record as governor, was firing on all cylinders at the end of his Presidential candidacy (unfortunately it was too late for him to make a comeback) following his recovery from back surgery. Perry also would help Romney shore up the conservative base and be a stark contrast to Obama. I think Gov. Bobby Jindal would be a formidable VP choice, but I’m uncertain he has the charisma of West, Rubio, Ryan or Perry. Rubio arguably offers Romney the most upside potential. He possesses some executive experience as Speaker of the Florida House, represents a crucial swing state and is a rising star in the GOP.

The bottom line for Romney is that the failed socialist policies of the Obama presidency have made 2012 a year ripe for a Republican resurgence. That’s not to say Romney won’t face some sizeable challenges: namely a hostile media bent on destroying him, a wary conservative base and a cash-rich Chicago political machine. Winning will require taking the gloves off and going full throttle after Obama. For Romney to win, he must frame the debate as a recall election on Obama—and he needs to deploy his best weapons from his arsenal: his wife and his veep nominee.

People are constantly faced with choices in their lives. At times the choice which appears to be the correct one to make may in the long run reveal itself as not that good of a decision and the same is true vice versa. This is especially so when faced with the choice of whom to support amongst several candidates during a primary. Although some folks have become discouraged over the years when the choice they’ve selected turned out to not be as originally envisioned, it’s important to continue making decisions and choosing the candidate which appears best at the time. At other times, one choice is obviously negative and although the other option may not be perfect, it is definitely the better of the two – as explained all the way below.

Since no-one is perfect and it is impossible to agree with one’s candidate/supported official 100% of the time, even when making a correct choice it is often accompanied with many gray areas which at times overshadow the white. Prior to the 2010 elections Arlen Specter, Republican Senator of purple-blue Pennsylvania was approaching a reelection and wavered on a decision before ultimately shocking and angering Republicans when he cast his vote in favor of Obama’s stimulus plan. This was the first time he sided with the Democrats on a major bill and his action resulted in conservatives and Tea Partiers to declare war on Specter at every cost. Their mission appeared noble and correct, and Pat Toomey is now the Republican Senator of Pennsylvania after barely winning the general election with a single point in the 2010 mid-term elections; a year in which Republicans swept victories across the country. He is surely a better representative of conservative values in the Senate than Specter had been.

However, the price tag it had cost for conservatives to place Toomey in the Senate had turned out be unexpectedly sky-rocketing expensive and resulted in many to question whether the goal was worth the consequences. When Specter saw he would be unable to win the Republican Primary, he made a mad dash to save his seat, switched parties, and provided the Democrats with the 60^th vote which led to the passage of their infamous Obamacare. Thus, although we now have a solid conservative in the Senate who replaced a RINO (not an outright liberal) we are now weighed down with Obamacare which threatens to overtake a sixth of the private sector and is currently awaiting judgment on its constitutionality by the Supreme Court Justices.

Incidentally, two of our current conservative Supreme Court Justices, Roberts and Alito, are currently on the bench thanks to Specter, after Senator Santorum had made the choice to support Specter for reelection in ’04 when he was challenged in a primary by Pat Toomey. At the time, Senator Santorum was faced with the difficult choice whether he should support the incumbent Senator Specter and his senior colleague who although was a less conservative choice than Toomey, was far more probable to be successful in keeping the seat red during an election where the balance on Senate was up in the air and anti-Republican emotions were thick. This surmise turned out pretty accurate since Toomey barely managed to eke out a 1% victory in 2010 when the public was outraged at Obamacare and looked favorably upon the Tea Party candidates.

Maintaining the Republican control of the Senate was by far not the only factor which Santorum focused on when making his decision. He was also strongly aware that Bush would be nominating at least two and possibly three justices for the Supreme Court and that Specter who headed the judiciary committee would be extremely influential whether Bush’s proponents would ultimately be approved by the Senate. Santorum therefore opted to support Specter after receiving his word that he would support the conservative candidates for the Supreme Court which Bush would propose, something which will influence U.S. history for years to come as is visible now with the Obamacare hearings.

Santorum’s support of Specter indeed resulted in two strong conservatives on the bench, although it may have likely cost him the nomination in the current GOP presidential primary. In addition to having been hammered for supporting Specter in’04 for actions taken years later and were impossible to foretell six years earlier, his act resulted in Specter’s former opponent and the current Conservative Senator of Pennsylvania and Santorum’s home-state, Pat Toomey, to act favorably towards Santorum’s opponent – the author of Romneycare. In fact, immediately after Santorum announced he was suspending his campaign yesterday, Toomey released an official endorsement endorsing Romney, causing many to speculate whether the endorsement would occur regardless prior to Pennsylvania’s primary and whether it was one of the causes which led to the Santorum campaign suspension.

The above two examples clearly illustrate how when one makes a choice which appears to be good, it isn’t necessarily all good as is later revealed. It shouldn’t however leave us disheartened for ultimately many good also emerged from those choices. Additionally, many decisions are pretty clear-cut where one option is definitely bad. Even if the other one doesn’t necessarily turn out to be all that good, we still know it is better than the alternative.

Supporting a candidate doesn’t necessarily mean that one agrees with all they’ve done or stand for, although a candidate usually will have some supporters who do identify with them to an extreme. Many supporters of a specific candidate usually support the candidate because they identify with them on a single issue while many others don’t even have that. They simply support a certain candidate because he’s the better choice than the alternative. This was visible numerous times amongst this primary and is very typical. After Palin chose not to run, a majority of her supporter split between Cain and Newt. After Bachmann, Cain, and Perry exited the race, their supporters too turned to find a second or third ro fourth choice amongst the remaining candidates. This led to the momentum to shift from Perry to Cain to Newt to Santorum as voters were forced to reevaluate the field once it was clear the person they supported wasn’t running at all or any longer. I too have first supported Palin, and when she announced she wasn’t running though long and hard until turning to support Santorum approximately a month prior to the Iowa caucuses.

With Santorum now having suspended his campaign, the primary is sort of wrapped up despite the many voters including myself who haven’t yet received the opportunity to cast their ballots. Unlike the primary where the choices were plentiful – at least at the start, the general will boil down to two choices; four more years for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. Obama has already been in office long enough for everyone with an open mind to recognize the damage he’s wrought upon this country. Obama is clearly not only the bad choice but an utter disaster for this country. Any alternative will be far better and less to the left than the Marxist Obama.

Romney’s Attorney General will not be someone like Eric Holder who looks the other way when the Black Panther sets a price-tag of a million dollars on Zimmerman’s head and refuses to take responsibility or even answer basic questions regarding Fast & Furious. Nor will Romney chose the dopey Kathleen Sebelius as Secretary of Health and Human Services, the unqualified leftist Janet Napolitano as his Secretary of Homeland Security, and so on and so forth.

The choice now has boiled down between two people; Obama and Romney and it is time to unite under the better of the two – Mitt Romney. There are many who have announced that they refuse to vote for Romney and are planning to sit out the 2012 election, all the while talking of setting him up with a conservative in 2016. It is okay to talk of 2016, but only after the 2012 elections have taken place and giving Romney a chance at the presidency, if he reaches it. He may or may not make a good president but he’s not a definite Obama, and if conservatives will dislike him so greatly we can challenge him in 2016 just as we would put out a conservative against Obama.

We conservatives have proven our power the last couple of years by successfully challenging lots of  incumbents in primaries and Romney is aware of it.. He won’t want to face a primary from his own party and will probably go along with whatever conservatives in Congress present him. Obama, on the other hand, is aware it’ll be his last term and will have no need to appease to any voters except for his leftist base who will replace Karl Marx with Barack Obama. If we thought he was radical in his first term, a second Obama term will be so much more disastrous it defies description. I plead with you fellow conservatives, w can look ahead to the future but at the same time we MUST REMEMBER THE HERE AND NOW AND MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR 2012. WE MUST SAY NO TO OBAMA AND THUS SAY YES TO MITT ROMNEY.

I knew Ronald Reagan, as much as any fan can.  And Rick Santorum, you are no Ronald Reagan.  But you sure are the best we could hope for this year and I thank you for doing for me and for many conservatives, exactly what Reagan did for us in 1976 – as your email to me and supporters today so accurately said, your campaign offered “a way for you to fight for your convictions.”

No, you may not be Ronald Reagan, but Rick Santorum, you said the same thing he did, and as persuasively as he did at that GOP convention after his loss (Reagan convention speech at my “notes” section on Facebook HERE), when he spoke for and to “all of those millions of Democrats and Independents who I know are looking for a cause around which to rally and which I believe we can give them.”

Yes, I knew Ronald Reagan, and although you are no Ronald Reagan you sure sounded like him yesterday when you withdrew as an active candidate for the GOP nomination for President.  Thank you and God bless you Rick Santorum.

Oh I know, those who hate Santorum – who are the same voices raised against Reagan in 1976 – will tell us your guy lost, he was defeated, and its over.

But you know they said that about our guy 2000 years ago too and this past Friday we remember the defeat before the victory.  And Ronald Reagan’s 1976 loss did not elicit any suggestions from any quarters that he would be President just 4 years later.

The cause goes on, said Reagan in defeat.  So did Santorum yesterday.

The issues he raised, still need advocates, today in 2012 just as in 1976 with Reagan.

The defeat is but one battle in a long war, in 1976 just as today.

The 1976 campaign saw many good and popular conservatives whose names we knew very well, out there advocating the choice of the “regular” Republicans, just as today.

The 1976 campaign saw but a very few conservative Republicans in public life endorsing the long shot challenger to the establishment, just as we saw this year for Rick Santorum.

The 1976 campaign saw the declaration by the establishment GOP of the political obituary of Ronald Reagan, just as we no doubt will see done to Rick Santorum today.

The 1976 campaign “proved” that we conservatives cannot win primary elections, just as we will no doubt hear today said about conservatives with Rick Santorum.

They said of us in the 1976 campaign that we weren’t professional enough to win elections, that our candidate wasn’t polished enough, not yet ready for prime time.  And they said it about us again this year.

They had an enormous fundraising advantage and endorsements advantage in 1976 and they had it again against Rick Santorum this year.

They didn’t realize what you could do with 170,000 newly identified, conservative cause donors to Ronald Reagan in 1976 and they don’t realize what a nearly identical list of supporters – 160,000 to be exact – can do for Santorum and for our cause in the next four years.

They forgot in 1976 that issues and what you propose to do about what people are concerned about, is what motivates people to make phone calls, work hard as volunteers and donate money.

They forgot but in 1976 on the floor of the convention Ronald Reagan reminded us in a most memorable speech (click HERE) that the cause goes on, and that the shining city on a hill must be preserved, that America is special, and that we are the last best hope for freedom on earth.

Reagan said it and yesterday, Rick Santorum said it.

It isn’t up to Rick Santorum, you or me or any of us who supported him, to “reach out” to Mitt Romney.  If Romney wants to talk about “the centrality of faith” in his life and about the old fashioned values he can go ahead and it will be lighting a fire to motivate and enlist the Santorum conservative base to jump into the battle and help him.

In 1976 the Gerald Ford establishment Republicans ignored Reagan after they had beaten him.

Perhaps Mitt Romney’s regulars will do that to Santorum and his supporters but, I caution you folks, you might want to check your history and see how that worked out.

To this day, they blame Reagan for making them lose the election, just as you may if you wish.  But it will not diminish the influence of Rick Santorum and his followers nor change what is going to happen to you if you emulate what Ford did in 1976.

The truth is that even in defeat Ronald Reagan remained very popular.

The continuing efforts of Reagan and his supporters to defend the American dream, to preserve the shining city on a hill, grew and prospered, even as the Ford forces created their narrative that Reagan did not “cooperate” and that is why they lost.

The truth is that the still very popular Reagan traveled the country campaigning for conservatives running for Congress, Senate and for Governor.  Many of those he helped won that year and in the next 2 years.

The Ford campaign realized they were in trouble and were not motivating Reaganites and at the last minute started asking him to do campaign speaking engagements for them.  But Reagan refused to cancel the commitments he made to help his supporters running for office and squeezed in the Ford requests where he could.

Reagan and his Reaganites were shut out and Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter.

Reagan and the conservatives continued the fight and it was Ford and the “regulars” who went silent after their defeat.

Four years later, bolstered by their continued fight against the liberals and with larger numbers than before, the conservatives won the nomination battle and the Presidency.

Is that the future for the forces of Rick Santorum after yesterday’s ending of the quest for the GOP nomination for President this year?

It is far too soon to be able to predict the future but I can say this.

I appreciate Rick Santorum’s giving voice to my views on many of the issues of concern to me as a conservative and especially as a values voter.  I’ll continue on exactly as he said right now, as Reagan asked in 1976.

Oh yes I know – despite his actually leading in the polls at one point, despite his emerging as the final, leading alternative to Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum didn’t come as close as Ronald Reagan did in 1976.

But you ‘ll notice the people who will say that to attempt to diminish the future role of Rick Santorum and those of us who supported him, ignores the truth: Reagan first ran for the GOP nomination not in 1976 but earlier in 1968.  And no, he didn’t even come close that time.

Santorum did FAR better in his first try for the Presidency, than Ronald Reagan did in his first try in 1976, despite being an incumbent Governor of the very sizeable state of California.

Remember the guy the liberals hated more than anyone else was Ronald Reagan in 1976 and without a doubt, it is Rick Santorum today.

Whether you are old enough to have experienced the Reagan campaign of 1976 firsthand or you are smart enough today to learn the lessons of that campaign, there’s no such thing as another Ronald Reagan but Rick Santorum can certainly follow the success story, and Mitt Romney can avoid the disaster of Gerald Ford.  All of us can learn from history, and not repeat the mistakes.

But for the future of our conservative cause, it doesn’t matter what Mitt Romney does.  One way or the other we have to defeat Barack Obama.

One way or the other we who rallied to the Rick Santorum banner must be involved in leadership roles in our cause, for our candidates, on the ramparts facing and defeating those who would “transform” this country with a wrecking ball.

Since when did we allow the liberal left and their water carriers within our ranks to dictate to us who our leaders will be in the battles of the future?  If Rick Santorum will lead as he did in the past few months I’ll be one of the many who will rally to his banner in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.

If Rick Santorum decides to use his name recognition and his following across America to campaign for Mitt Romney, for U.S. Senate and House candidates and for Governor candidates he will truly be following in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan and who knows, he may have the same outcome four years from now as Reagan did in 1980.

No other candidate has spoken as eloquently for the faith of the values voters, from American exceptionalism to the centrality of faith in our lives.

One Fox news commentator said that of course Mitt Romney’s “favorable” ratings will now increase since he no longer has a serious primary opponent.  Wrong.

Mitt’s troubles are only now beginning, and will get worse unless he enlists the Santorum supporters to his cause by having Rick Santorum out in front for him.

Or he may choose the Gerald Ford strategy of freezing him out thinking to destroy his former rival.  Won’t work Mitt, didn’t work against Reagan and won’t against Santorum, but will only keep your “favorable” ratings low, contrary to that Fox News commentator.

They said of Reagan in 1968 and again in 1976 “he isn’t ready for prime time.”  But he was ready in 1977 through 1979 as he continued to lead our cause in many battles we fought, and he was ready in 1980.

Rick Santorum may not have been “ready for prime time” but the war goes on and it is entirely possible that we will see and hear a lot more from him in the future.

One of the liberal commentators on Fox said that now at last, with Santorum out, Mitt Romney can “appeal” to women and independents, ie. “swing to the left” with Santorum out.

Won’t work Mitt – you’ll be on your own if you don’t bring in the conservatives.

The conservative path of the light, is the way to appeal to women and independents, as Reagan did and as Santorum could have done.

Appealing to women and independents by copying the language, rhetoric and proposals of the left has never been a good strategy for Republicans but has been offered again and again anway.

I’m against Obama, will vote for the Republican nominee against him but I’ve been enough of a student of history to know that how much money and how many volunteers the GOP candidate will have in this battle against a better funded and better organized Barack Obama, is strictly a matter of whether he listens and learns from history – realizes that shutting out conservatives didn’t for Gerald Ford.

Will Romney copy the losing strategy being suggested to him by those who hate conservatives and either don’t want him to win or simply overlook reality and history’s lessons?

In any event, and no matter what Mitt Romney decides, I do believe we will see and hear a lot more about Rick Santorum in the future, who is much younger at this stage of his career than Ronald Reagan was when he lost in 1976 and who just like Reagan, gives voice to people who will otherwise have none.

America is exceptional, the values voters are still here, and we still look for leadership on the national level.  Thank you Rick Santorum, we are grateful for your giving voice to our views, hope you will take a brief rest and then pick up that sword once again, hold up the light, to banish the dark.

PCW Politics is War on P-SPAN Report
Benton Harbor High School
Benton Harbor, MI
Thursday April 5th, 2012
Host: Johnny Suave

REPLAY: End of Tuesday Night’s PCW Wild in Wisconsin
Olbermann again starts going off about various things.  Finally…

*Def Leppard’s Tear It Down plays*

Suave: YES!

‘The Extreme Equalizer’ Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Suave: IT’S THE EXTREME EQUALIZER- WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!

Tear it down – There’s got to be a better way
Tear it down – I can’t wait another day
Tear it down – There’s got to be a better way
Tear it down – If only you could stay
All night long

Crowd: What the @#$#!…What the @!##!

WTF: Keith.  You’re fired.

WTF grabs Olbermann by the throat…lift…CHOKESLAM!

Crowd: PCW…PCW…PCW!

*Fleetwood Mac‘s “Don’t Stop” begins to play*

‘The Extreme Environmental Hardcore Icon’ Al Gore (D)

Suave: “IT’S HIM! HE’S HERE! THE TREE HUGGIN’, MOCHA CHUGGIN’, TOBACCO COMPANY BUGGIN’ ALPHA MALE AND ENVIROMENTAL EXTREME HARDCORE ICON…

The crowd sings the chorus “Don’t stop, thinking about tomorrow.” Gore holds up his mocha, inside an environmentally friendly biodegradable container of course, and chugs it down. Then he spews it out of his mouth into the crowd and then crushes the paper container on his forehead in a manly fashion.

The Environmental Extreme Hardcore Icon walks down the steps to the main floor. At the bottom of the steps, Gore pulls out another container of mocha, guzzles it down, spews it into the crowd, and then smashes the container on his forehead. Gore then wades through the main floor crowd to the ring.  He climbs up on the apron, pulls out yet another cup of mocha, guzzles that one down, spews it into the crowd, and then smashes the container on his forehead.

Gore in the ring.

Gore: I suppose you all want to know what went down between Keith Olbermann and Current TV.   All I can say is that Mr. Olbermann, who was paid a lot of money for showing up periodically to do his show and didn’t keep up his end of the bargain, apparently wants tens of millions more for not working.  As the old adage says, when the law’s on your side you argue the law.  When the law and the facts aren’t on your side, you pound the table.  Let’s just say that Mr. Olbermann is well versed in pounding the table.

Voice: Hold on a second, Al!

Keith Olbermann and the minions of his Olbermann Broadcast Empire, formerly known as  FOK, David Schuster and Shannyn Moore, walk out.

Olbermann: The Mets put Andres Torres on the DL today. That seems to have as much relevance to my lawsuit as anything you just said, Al.

Gore smiles and hands Olbermann a piece of paper.

Gore: This has plenty of relevance, Keith.  Consider yourself served.

Suave: OLBERMANN JUST GOT SERVED…OH, SUIT PAPERS!

Olbermann’s face turns red and he tackles Gore.

Suave: CAT-FIIIIIIIIIGHT!  CAT-FIIIIIIIGHT!

The OBE try to separate the two.

BACKSTAGE
‘The Massachusetts Redblood’ Mitt Romney talks with PCW Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein.

Romney: It’s time to get going.  It’s time to start focusing on November’s PCW Extreme Election Night 2012 and PCW CEO Barack Obama (D-IL).  It’s enough to make you think that years of flying around on Air Force One, surrounded by an adoring staff of true believers telling you what a great job you are doing, well, that might be enough to make you a little out of touch.

Bernstein: And?

Romney: And…that’s all.

Bernstein: Oh.  You’re not going to screw up the aftermath of a victory again?

Romney: Not this time.

(1) Daniel-San vs. Steve Torino- Used Car Salesman- no contest

Daniel-San was about to slap on the Labell Lock when former allies John Creese and the Cobra Conservatives came out and attacked the former PCW Champion.

The Cobra Cons stomp away at a helpless Daniel-San until the crowd roars and Mrs. Miyagi sprints out with Halitosis- The Insane Luchador with the even more Insane Breath,  to the ring.  Halitosis uses his lethal breath to knock out the Cobra Cons and Creese escapes through the ropes.

Daniel-San sees Mrs. Miyagi and tries to shake her hand.  Mrs. Miyagi turns around and leaves before he can do so.

Bobby Petrino Motorcycle Accident
Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino shuffles to the ring.  He admits that he didn’t fully disclose the fact that there was a 25 year old female passenger riding with him after his recent motorcycle accident.

Petrino: I have been in constant pain, medicated and the circumstances involving the wreck have come out in bits and pieces. That said I certainly had a concern about Jessica Dorrell’s name being revealed.  In hindsight, I showed a serious mistake in judgment when I chose not to be more specific about those details. Today, I’ve acknowledged this previous inappropriate relationship with my family and those within the athletic department administration.

Suave: Apparently, Jessica Dorrell turned down riding First Class to her upcoming wedding and rode Coach… *rimshot*

Petrino then added…

Petrino: Do you know who I am?  This is the freakin’ SEC.  I’ve won 21 games at Arkansas over the past two seasons…

Arkansas Razorbacks fan: Y’all, there’s two college football coaches better than anyone else in the country- Nick Saban and Bobby Petrino.   Sooooo-eeee.

Suave: Bama is ‘Roll Tide.’  Petrino is ‘Stop, Drop, and Roll.’

(2) Scott Walker’s (R-WI) Rangers: Ronnie and John Walker (R) def. Flavin and Tony Dreamboat

The Walkers win when Flavin tried to clock Ronnie Walker with the oversized clock around his neck and missed.  Ronnie then got the roll up pin for the victory.

Post match, the PCW Tag Team Champions Big Union: ‘The Self Described Savior of the Middle Class’ Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker (D) attacked the Walkers.  Once again, Rebecca Kleefisch (R-WI) is cornered- this time by Union Maid, and bombarded with invectives from both Big Labor and James.

*’Can You Hear the People Sing’ from Les Miserables plays*

Charlie Blackwell and Mike the Mechanic aka The American Heartland Coalition run out and make the save for Kleefisch.  Big Union leaves the ring but Blackwell tells them to wait.

Blackwell: The number one problem with PCW is that both the Republican and Democrats have sold their souls to their special interest groups at our expense.  The number two problem is that both Republicans and Democrats have a virtual monopoly on the political processes and have effectively excluded the American people a choice. As of right now, the PCW is going to be stuck with making the following choice for PCW CEO: a Democrat  who promised change but delivered the same hardline political partisanism that he was supposedly against and a challenger foisted up by a Republican establishment totally out of touch with Main Street America.

Big Labor takes a step towards the ring but he’s blocked by Blackwell’s Les Miserables.

Mike the Mechanic:  Charlie’s right.  That’s not democracy. And both parties are so far out of touch with what’s really going on with average Americans that voting for either candidate in the fall when gas prices are ridiculously high, housing values have decreased, jobs aren’t coming back, is basically a coin flip. You can vote for one party who does the bidding of their special interest groups or you can vote for the other. Partisans win- the American people lose.

Suave: Earlier in the night, PCW Television Champion ‘The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism quietly signed off on the contract to face PCW’s Queen of Extreme Valora Salinas in June at PCW Loose Cannons unleashed 8.

REPLAY: Tuesday Night’s PCW Wild in Wisconsin
Chism: What did I tell you?  Valora’s a chick.  She’s not a real chick though because everyone knows real chicks support Democrats.  She knows there’s no way in hell that she can beat me.  She’s probably back home washing the dishes or cleaning the house-

Out of nowhere, Valora jumps Chism and blasts him in the head with a lead pipe.

Suave: HOLY CRAP!

Valora busts him open with a second lead pipe shot and then puts the Katahajime on him.

Immediately, Harry Reid (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) race to the ring and start shouting for help.   Code Pink and Emily S. List run down.  Valora lets go of Chism and then decks both with a double clothesline.  She rams Code Pink’s head into the corner turnbuckle.  Then she flings List through the ropes to the floor.

Chism tries to get up.  Valora hits a running dropkick and Chism goes right back down.  Valora drags the PCW Television Champion to the table and puts her finger in the bloody cut on Chism’s face.  Then she signs the contract with Chism’s blood and as PCW security hits the ring, slides out and heads to the back.

Suave then reports on the Brad Company-Health Care- PCW Super Court situation.  Following arguments made before the Super Court, the matter was now in the hands of the Super Court justices to make their decision.

PCW Hall of Fame Class Announced
Suave announced the inductees to the PCW HOF:
Wrestlers: ‘No Frills’ Chris Escondido (I) and Starz N. Stripes (also known as ‘American Citizen’ Kevin Scott) (R)
Politicians: ‘The American Screamer’ Howard Dean (D-VT) and ‘The Mastermind’ Karl Rove

The class will be inducted at PCW’s Loose Cannons Unleashed 8 PPV in June.

House Show Highlights
Suave reveals that there was an incident last night at a PCW House show between PCW Women’s Champion Kathryn Randall Collins and Miss USA.

KRC came out to cut a promo and then described Miss USA having a child as a ‘career killer.’

KRC: Her career will never be what it should have been because of the choice she made.

Miss USA than ran out and another pull apart brawl ensued.

Suave: It’s going to happen…sooner than later.  KRC vs. Miss USA.

Tom Tebow- Tim Tebow’s long lost, black sheep brother

Tebow is in the ring and rips Peyton Manning once again.  This time, Manning walks out and challenges Tebow to a match.  Tebow accepts but Manning then sends down the Japanese SuperDestroyer Yamamoto Tanaka (R).

Tanaka wins in short order with Manning cheering him on with the Japanese SuperDestroyer.

On the ramp clapping- New York Jet QB Mark Sanchez??????

Points Standings (from Real Clear Politics):
Romney- 655
Santorum- 272
Gingrich- 140
Paul- 67

I don’t dislike Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich and if either of them were the GOP nominee I would happily vote for him against Barack Obama.  And there’s no question that either of them argue splendidly for so many of the mainstream conservative positions on a wide range of issues we care about.

I’m voting for Rick Santorum for President here in Pennsylvania on April 24 because he best articulates our issues and isn’t afraid to speak to the forgotten values voters of the GOP who have been the so often forgotten group yet who vote, work for and donate for every candidate we put up against leftists for the past generation.

I’m for Rick Santorum because above any other issue or quality people in America vote by wide margins for the people they think are good men and women, who live by the principles they espouse, and who are guided by their faith and who, however they stumble and sin, always return to the course set by their moral compass.

I’m for Rick Santorum, not because he merely speaks to the issues but has lived his life in accordance with those principles.

I’m for Santorum not because he has the best voting or track record but because on the issues we conservatives have cared about the most while he was a U.S. Senator, everyone active in our cause knew he was the “go to” guy who could be counted on not just to vote right but to do the behind the scenes work that helps you win.

I’m not “against” Romney or Gingrich.  I am sick and tired of hearing those candidates or their supporters get excessively zealous in extolling the negatives of their competitors.

Yes I already know that Obama can claim some of his ObamaCare ideas – particularly the idea of a “mandate” – came from Romneycare.  And I don’t like it.   I know that Romney has done very little to make the leadership of the conservative cause – national security and economics conservatives but most especially the values voters who he feels don’t trust him – feel comfortable with him.  I know he hasn’t reached out as he should have.

Yes I already know about Newt Gingrich’s indiscretions in his life – what he and Catholics call sin – and also that this is his past, not his present.  More important, I already know that Newt as House Speaker actually cut down some conservative movement initiatives and had the mentality that we could fund activities from the federal government that would get our majority reelected.

I know Gingrich made many of our most important conservative leaders very angry and frustrated to the point that when he stumbled, they deserted him and forced him to resign.

And yes, I already know that Rick Santorum’s labor record wasn’t perfect – even though big labor in Pennsylvania always vigorously opposed him in every election.   And I know that you should never speak about your faith or your belief in Jesus Christ, or refer to the “centrality of faith in your life.”

I know that every one of our three mainstream conservative candidates has issues that conservatives can argue disqualify them.  I don’t buy it.  Any of them would be much better watching on TV, and reading their words in the newspapers, and listening to them on the radio, and seeing and hearing about them every time I connect my computer to the internet for the next four years, than the current occupant of our White House.

It seems every time we hear Barack Obama speak it is some new attack on the free enterprise capitalist system, a new attack on our Constitution, a fresh assault on our institutions, a new justification for socialism.  Or all of the above.

I don’t want to see an entire generation growing up with that kind of influence in their lives so I’m voting for Rick Santorum and whether he wins or loses on April 24 here in Pennsylvania, I’m voting against Barack Obama and for the Republican nominee for President in 2012.

I’m not going to listen to brand new Tea Party activists to tell me who to vote for, to tell me who they think stinks, when they admit they slumbered through the election of Barack Obama and did nothing to stop Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid from winning such enormous majorities in the House and Senate and helping Obama begin his work to “transform” America.

I respect the newcomers but so many of them – often the loudest of them – are ignorant of history, need to spend a little more time reading the constitution and learning about the Christian faith of the founding fathers, learn about the giants of the conservative cause upon whose shoulders they are standing and above all, they should stop sounding so danged bitter and angry, smile a little more, and offer constructive alternatives and make a better effort to play nicely with the other kids who were already in the sandbox they are claiming leadership of.  If they make that effort they’ll find they are very welcome, their meetings will stop shrinking and they will have much more influence in America in the future.

And I most certainly am not going to listen to people whose websites and facebook pages constantly remind their followers that we are not conservatives, who constantly  proclaim their hatred of  the establishment, the bankers, the corporations, Wall Street, the Jews, the Zionists, the Republicans, the neocons, the military. They sound like Occupy Wall Street, like the anti-war, pro-drug, hateful leftists of the 1970′s who always complained about “the establishment” and who wanted to “tear it all down.”

They come into our  midst for the sole purpose of proclaiming their hatred of so much that we conservatives believe, and when they do not get their way in the party which is most hospitable to us, they storm out of “our room” and vote for another candidate.  I trust them only when they say they are not of our cause and hate us.

No, I’m not speaking of lower case “L” libertarians who I very much like and listen to carefully – they are people who I do listen to even if I don’t always agree with them.

Whether it is their concerns about the Patriot Act and its setting aside of the 4th amendment guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure, or their concerns about setting up a national “E-Verify” system to stop illegal immigration.

They raise valid points worthy of consideration by all of us who love freedom.

And for all the arguments in favor of E-Verify I surely am concerned about any proposal to require the federal government’s “permission” before an employer is allowed to hire me, and worried about allowing police officers to stop people without probable cause, if they are suspicious abut whether or not you have proper insurance (yes that was in legislation in one state).

I do not know how a free people could be willing to tolerate “sobriety checkpoints” to allow police officers to ignore the fourth amendment because nowhere do the Bill of Rights give government the right to exempt themselves from the restraints on their authority to steal our freedoms.

On these and many other issues I’m very much open to considering ideas from “lower case L” libertarians and to working with them on those issues where we agree.

But people who proclaim their hatred of conservatism and conservatives, should not have any influence on you and me, except to note that they hate Rick Santorum more than anyone else running for President including Barack Obama and their reverse endorsement alone should be sufficient argument for us all to vote for Santorum.

I’m not impressed with those who argue that voting for someone other than their Third Party Champion temporarily GOP candidate for President is a sellout to liberal Republicans.

Those who shout at us that we are selling out to liberal Republicans like that are the same people who never walk the precincts for conservative challengers, make the phone calls, write out the donation checks and in between elections stand shoulder to shoulder using the full range of tools available to each and every one of us to influence public policy as American citizens.

They are on the scene for the sole purpose of trying to confuse us, divide us and defeat Republicans – and so they are the ally of liberal Democrats whose hatred of and smears against conservatives they often emulate.

I’m for Rick Santorum because even what so many consider his weakness, is to me, his defining strength, his willingness to defy liberal-left orthodoxy by whatever name it calls itself, and clearly say that the centrality of faith is foremost on his mind and in his heart when he stands up in the public policy process to articulate his views.

I respect the conservative leaders who counsel us to vote for Romney or Gingrich, and I pray that we will all keep in mind that our minor divisions during this primary – which will soon end – are as nothing compared to the urgent need to remove Barack Obama as President and bring to an end his domination of the Congress and the courts.

I will proudly vote for Rick Santorum just like the Reaganites of old who worked their hearts out for him in 1976 and again in 1980.

They didn’t care so much whether Reagan won or not – it wasn’t what influenced them to make their stand with him.

Those old Reaganites knew that when their children and their children’s children asked, if God forbid today is the high water mark of freedom in the United States, what did you do Grandpa, to stop this from happening, you’ll have an answer to give them that enables you to hold your head up high and not be embarrassed.

If years from now it is but a distant memory what the Constitution actually meant and what freedom actually was, and my kids and grandkids ask me, I’ll tell them there was a fellow who, however imperfect, represented the last best hope for our cause, spoke most clearly to our vision of freedom and right, and your grandpa donated money to him, voted for him in Pennsylvania and took every chance he could find to write to influence others, to join me now in standing with Rick Santorum.

I hope I’ll never have that conversation with my kids or grandkids but instead can tell them, there once was a threat so bad, a darkness so close to extinguishing the light, that it is hard for you kids to imagine it.

And I pray that God willing I will be there to tell them, that we overcame so many arrayed against us.  I pray we will turn back those who demanded that we who know right from wrong, who unashamedly articulate our belief in God, who have true courage, must be driven out of public office, discredited, defeated and destroyed.  I pray we all of us will have the opportunity, God willing, to tell our grandkids that this year 2012, Americans looked at our champion, and listened to we who rally to his banner of faith and right.  I pray to my Lord and Savior that He will see fit to summon men and women of courage, to make this stand today, and that together we will be able to tell the next generation, our fellow Americans listened, and saved this, the last best hope for mankind and for freedom on earth.

I do not know whether I’ll be telling my kids and my grandkids, if God allows me to be here, that this today is the high water mark of freedom and that after 2012 we are in fact transformed as Obama says he will do, or will this be the turnaround that saves the American system that has worked so well these past two centuries.

But the issue is in doubt today, so my vote is for Rick Santorum now that it is my turn to vote here in Pennsylvania.

And when this is over and done, whether Rick Santorum is our champion as the GOP nominee or not, I will cheerfully and gladly keep in mind where our enemy is – there on the left – far far to the left – stands the one who with his allies aims to finish the job he has started, with a wrecking ball to the work of the American founding fathers – and our standing together united and facing towards him, may be what decides the issue.

PCW Wild in Wisconsin
Willett Ice Arena
Stevens Point, WI
Tuesday April 3rd, 2012
Host: Johnny Suave
Special Guest Host: Keith Olbermann

Former Current TV host Keith Olbermann is brought to the broadcast table in a specially constructed rickshaw.  After he exits the rickshaw, he berates the two men pulling the vehicle for giving him a rough trip down to the ring and for having the nerve to talk to him.

Olbermann starts right out giving his usual opening monologue but Suave interrupts him with the big news that we have a new PCW Champion- The Sanderman (D).

Replay from PCW House Show Last Night in Rockford, IL
…Daniel-San’s in trouble in the corner.  He looks to his corner where John Creese and the Cobra Cons are…but they turn away and walk to the back.  The Sanderman whacks Daniel-San over the head with a broom handle and then cinches in the Cobra Clutch…

Daniel-San is backstage with PCW Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein.  He breaks the bad news and says that he lost last night.  Daniel-San says he is a man, he was beaten, and as a man he will admit defeat.  Before he can say another word, he’s attacked by the Japanese SuperDestroyer Yamamoto Tanaka.  Tanaka decks him and then flings him into a wall.

The Republican Establishment, with John Creese and the Cobra Cons in tow, walk by.  Creese calls Daniel-San “not a true conservative” and kicks him before the group walks away.

Olbermann calls Suave the worst person in the world for interrupting him.  Suave reminds everyone that The Sanderman’s win means Democrats hold all four title belts…

PCW WORLD CHAMPION:  The Sanderman (D)
PCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: Big Labor/James the Jeep Worker (D)
PCW WOMEN’S CHAMPION: Kathryn Randall Collins (D)
PCW TELEVISION CHAMPION: ‘The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism (D)

#1 SINGLES CONTENDER:
- Valora Salinas

#1 TAG TEAM CONTENDER:

#1 WOMEN’S CONTENDER:

Tom Tebow- Tim Tebow’s long lost, black sheep brother

(1) Tom Tebow- Tim Tebow’s long lost, black sheep brother def. Jordan Metzger of Planned Parenthood

Double underhook powerbomb by Tebow wins the match.  After the pin, Tebow does his version of ‘Tebowing’ except with a can of beer in his hand.

Brad Company- Health Care
Suave recounts how Company was told that he was going to have to purchase health care.  Company objected and then took PCW CEO Barack Obama to the PCW Super Court.

Olbermann calls Company the worst person in the world for going against Obama and taking it to the PCW Super Court.  Then he demands a double latte from the back, pronto.

Backstage
Mitt Romney (R-MA) talks with PCW Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein.  Romney says that it’s time to close ranks behind him and turn our attention to November and PCW Extreme Election Night 2012.

PCW Television Title Match Signing
PCW Television Champion ‘The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism (D) walks out first to sign off on the contract to meet PCW’s Queen of Extreme Valora Salinas at PCW Loose Cannons Unleashed 8 PPV in June.

Chism climbs into the ring and waits for Valora to come out.  Suave starts to comment but Olbermann won’t shut up about his latte.   Olbermann yanks off his headset and screams to the back.  Suave goes right to a commercial.

This book would be friggin’ hilarious if parts of it weren’t so painfully true…

Why should you buy this book?

Jesusland v Progressiveville isn’t predictable partisan trashing of other side like other political books nor does it pander to the fringes of both sides like most books do.

Jesusland vs Progressiveville parodies the very ones responsible for over the top devisive political discussion: Markos Moutilsas, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Ann Coulter, Ed Schultz, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, among others.

The cover with Sarah Palin and Keith Olbermann sums up just what our political discourse has become.

Brought to you by the same demented bunch behind Political Championship Wrestling, Jesusland vs. Progressiveville is a political satire about the sorry state of American politics.

Available at Amazon.com and other online bookstores.

Back to ringside, Suave explains that Olbermann has stomped off to the back to bitch someone out about the whole latte thing.  Meanwhile, Chism is still in the ring waiting for Valora to come out.

Finally, Chism grabs the microphone.

Chism: What did I tell you?  Valora’s a chick.  She’s not a real chick though because everyone knows real chicks support Democrats.  She knows there’s no way in hell that she can beat me.  She’s probably back home washing the dishes or cleaning the house-

Out of nowhere, Valora jumps Chism and blasts him in the head with a lead pipe.

Suave: HOLY CRAP!

Valora busts him open with a second lead pipe shot and then puts the Katahajime on him.

Immediately, Harry Reid (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) race to the ring and start shouting for help.   Code Pink and Emily S. List run down.  Valora lets go of Chism and then decks both with a double clothesline.  She rams Code Pink’s head into the corner turnbuckle.  Then she flings List through the ropes to the floor.

Chism tries to get up.  Valora hits a running dropkick and Chism goes right back down.  Valora drags the PCW Television Champion to the table and puts her finger in the bloody cut on Chism’s face.  Then she signs the contract with Chism’s blood and as PCW security hits the ring, slides out and heads to the back.

Backstage
Rick Santorum (R-PA) talks with PCW Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein.  He says no matter what he’s not going to give up until Romney has an insurmountable lead.   Even if his wrestler, A-Bomb, loses tonight, he’s headed to Pennsylvania in three weeks to continue the fight.

MATCHES SIGNED ALREADY FOR NOVEMBER’S PCW EXTREME ELECTION NIGHT 2012:

Virginia- George Allen (R) vs. Tim Kaine (D)


PBR w/Chief

(2) PBR w/Chief def. Nate of Occupy Wall Street

PBR gets the quick pin with The Beer Mug.

Olbermann’s back and he’s still pissed off.  Suave cuts to another replay from Monday’s House Show- a confrontation between PCW Women’s Champion Kathryn Randall Collins (D) and Miss USA.

Replay: Monday’s House Show
…KRC just finishes defeating Lani Harlot (R) when Miss USA walks down the ramp, and around the ring.  She stares down KRC and circles the ring.  Then Miss USA hits the stairs, walks up and gets in the ring.  KRC looks to the back for help.  Miss USA extends her hand. KRC reluctantly goes for a shake and then BAM!  Kick to the stomach.  Standing drop kick…

(3) Wild in Wisconsin Match: Yamamoto Tanaka (R) w/Mitt Romney (R-MA) vs. A. Tom Bomb (R) w/Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Daisy Cutter-Bomb

Tanaka again wipes out A-Bomb, winning with the Japanese SuperDestroyer.

Romney hits the ring afterwards to celebrate.

Olbermann again starts going off about various things.  Finally…

*Def Leppard’s Tear It Down plays*

Suave: YES!

‘The Extreme Equalizer’ Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Suave: IT’S THE EXTREME EQUALIZER- WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!
