Dems Poised to Feel Wrath of Voters in ’10 Just As GOP Did in ’06 & ’08

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana
.

Democrats haven’t learned anything from the failures of the GOP in 2006 and 2008. They have consistently gotten it wrong over the last two election cycles. Democrats falsely believed that the rejection of GOP candidates in the past two election cycles were a rejection of policy. They ran on the mantra of the “Culture of Corruption” and won an unstoppable majority.

Was there corruption in the GOP? Yes there was. Many were beginning to get corrupted by the power that Washington D.C. infects. Many were using their offices to gain personally and others were using legislation to insure re-election. The Pork being enjoyed by many Republican members of Congress in the latter years of the Bush Administration led to the downfall of the GOP.

In 2006 Conservative voters had no one to vote for so they stayed home. In the 2008 Presidential race, the choice was between a Progressive Democrat and a Progressive Republican – Socialist or Socialist Lite. Identity politics played a larger roll than ever before in American politics. The euphoria created by the possibility of electing a minority candidate to the Presidency won over voters and rationale lost.

The GOP’s candidate was selected by the progressive main stream media because they all knew that if given the choice between a Democrat and a Liberal Republican, Conservative voters would bail on the Republican as they did in 2006.

Voter intimidation and fraud did play a roll in the 2008 races as well. But yet, the Obama Infestation doesn’t have any interest in making sure those crimes are never again repeated. After-all, they benefited from those crimes.

Since taking office, Obama and Nancy Pelosi have led their party to the far left. The sheer growth of the federal government and the near Imperial powers now granted to the President by this Congress must have the founding fathers rolling in their graves. The result of all this growth in government is record high deficits which are 4 times the size of those that led to the downfall of the GOP in 2006.

The $427 Billion deficit racked up by the Bush Administration in 2005 pales in comparison to $1.42 Trillion 2009 short-fall and seem like nothing in comparison to the projected 2010 deficit of $1.75 Trillion. To put the Bush deficits into context, during his 8 years in office, Bush added $4.9 Trillion to the national debt. If you just take the past two years in to account, Obama has already added $3.17 Trillion. If left unchecked with a hypothetical returning Democrat majority for the next 2 years, Obama’s contribution to the national debt over 4 years in office would be an estimated $6.34 Trillion and likely more.

Debt and corruption were the GOP’s undoing in 2006 and 2008. Now, the Democrats are facing 4 times the debt and double the corruption. The current Treasury Secretary is a known tax cheat. The former Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee is as well as evidenced by his 13 ethics violations and pending criminal indictment (because we all know there is an indictment in the works). Another Democrat member of Congress faces an ethics battle. Pelosi has failed to “drain the swamp” and seems to have encouraged her members to seek out ways to exploit the earmark process.

Nancy Pelosi’s most ethical and most transparent Congress in history is about to fall flat under the weight of its ethics violations and shady back-room deals. Remember what she said about the Death Care bill?

“We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.”

How about that transparency Nancy?

I won’t hold my breath waiting for her to answer.

Now Pelosi has another shell game in the works. As the school year is about to begin and the financially strapped states have less money to dole out for education, SanFran Nan and her band of miscreants are calling the House back into session in the middle of the August recess in order to pass “emergency” legislation totaling an additional $26 Billion in spending for teachers. Ask the question “why?” since nearly half of the American Robbery and Redistribution Act money is still unspent. After-all, wasn’t that supposed to fund police, firemen, and – umm, who else… that’s right – TEACHERS so they wouldn’t lose their jobs?

People this is nothing more than as cheap game of 3-card Monty. Chase the red queen but there is no queen on the table. It’s a ploy for votes and nothing more. The funds are already allocated to save teachers’ jobs if the Infestation wished to use it; but they don’t. They’d rather Pelosi do a little grand standing in order to buy some more votes and in the process increase the debt a little bit more in order to justify more tax increases in the future. You see if they use already appropriated funding to “save teaching jobs” it doesn’t make headlines. No headlines, no votes.

Before you go to vote on November 2nd remember a couple of very important items.

Obama promised that if the “stimulus” (aka the American Robbery and Redistribution Act) were passed unemployment wouldn’t go any higher than 8%. How’s that 9.5% unemployment feeling America? Or how about the estimated 17% – 24% underemployment for that matter?
Pelosi promised to drain the swamp and yet one Congressman has been sent to prison for taking bribes, and two more are under Ethics Committee investigations and expected to be expelled.
Democrats rode a wave of discontent over Republican deficits in 2006 and 2008 but the current budget deficit is 4 times higher.

And finally I want you to ask yourself a question…

Is your family better off today than you were in 2006?

OH.. before I go. I have a little misconception to clear up.

That surplus that all you Clintonian drones like to point to that Bush destroyed with his deficit spending… That was the brain child of a Republican. Rep. John Kasich of Ohio wrote the budget that created that surplus. Kasich is currently running for Governor of Ohio. And much to the dismay of Obama and Uncle Ted (Strickland), he’s leading in that race. And for the record… Uncle Ted rode that anti-GOP wave in 2006. Remember the quote at the top Uncle Ted.

Populism’s Ability To Destroy What It Makes

January 27, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Chicago Politics Goes National, Democrat Incompetence, John McCain, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Politics, socialism Comments Off

Populism is an extremely volatile quasi-political ideology. It is forever changing with the tide of public opinion. It is both a blessing and a curse within this nation. Allow me to explain…

It is a blessing in that those who are elected largely on populist support tend to pay attention to the ebb and flow of public opinion and formulate policy based on those changes. In this way, the general public is the check on populist politicians. But then there is the curse for those who fail to live up to their populist campaigning. For instance…

In 2008, Barack Obama rode a tide of populism to victory in November to be come the 44th President of the United States. Popular public opinion was against the status quo which translated into an anti-Republican movement in spite of the fact that the 2008 Presidential election was being decided between two Progressive politicians. Let me make this perfectly clear. The 2008 Presidential election pitted 2 candidates who represent the same political ideology (admittedly at two distinct and differing degrees) against each other for popular vote. Because one of them claims Republican membership, he lost in spite of the fact that he gave more detailed information about how he would govern. The other, kept the details of his potential “rule” a closely guarded secret by showering the public with vague messages clouded in populist rhetoric.

Focus tested rhetoric was employed to swing voters in spite of the lack of details about the candidate. Words like “Change” and “Hope” were employed in an effort to rally the populist vote toward the more extreme Progressive. And it worked.

Without defining what would be “changed”, from what to what, Barack Hussein Obama hoodwinked the populist voters. Once in office, his radical Progressive nature came forward, shedding its Democrat facade, clearly defining him for what he truly is. A Socialist almost to the Fabian extreme.

I say that because he employed, as do all well groomed Progressives, Fabian methodology. It is the Fabian way to corrupt from within. To grow like a cancer from within the political organization most likely to elevate them to power. Barack Obama did so from within the Democrat Party. John McCain wasn’t as successful because most Conservative Republicans know him for what he is.

Now that he’s out from behind the proverbial curtain, we can all see for ourselves what kind of monster the populists of this nation elected. There he is folks, warts and all, in the open for all to see. A Socialist tearing the heart out of this wonderful nation.

Obama is from a mixed school of radicalism. He studied Marx, Alinsky, Cloward-Piven, and mentored under Frank Marshall Davis. He understands the violent radicalism of the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers, and the Nation of Islam. And now it is time to put that mixed radical knowledge into practice while he has enough power to achieve the long awaited goals of the Progressive movement.

He understands that he has a limited time to “fundamentally transform America” into the Utopia that only can grow out of the anchovy pizza induced night terror that George Orwell warned us of in his novels ‘Animal Farm’ and ’1984′. He fully understands that he and his Congressional stooges need to slip through their “reforms” so fast that you do not have the opportunity to understand what is in them. This is to protect the process and accomplish as much as possible before you catch on. Problem – you caught on.

Populism is shifting and the wave that he rode to victory is now an undertow threatening to drown the neophyte President in a sea of his own broken promises. Populist America now sees the radical they’ve elected and even the previously compliant main stream media is beginning to turn on him.

Chris “Thrill Up My Leg” Matthews (MSNBC) is shifting as is Maureen Dowd (NYT) and others. His supporters and underlings are beginning to catch more difficult questioning out of news agencies that were previously sympathetic to his cause. Some think that he’s gone too far to the left while others believe that he hasn’t gone far enough.

The populist uprising against the radical attempt by this President and this Congress to “fundamentally transform America” occurred when the American people were thinking the President meant a transformation in politics but were met with a President and a Congress working toward a radical “transformation” of socio-economics. That’s not what The People voted for.

They couldn’t get Cap and Trade in the time frame they wanted so it was shelved. They couldn’t get Obamacare in the time frame that they wanted and the people asked questions. When the powers that be refused to answer those questions, Democrats lost Virginia, and New Jersey. When they continued to ignore the American people they lost Massachusetts.

The danger here is in the formation of both domestic and foreign policy based on populism. A President needs to form his/her policy before going to the American people and asking for their vote. If the people believe that his/her policy is in the best interest of the Republic, then he (or she) will attain the necessary votes to win. A voter will vote for someone going against the populist grain if they believe that he/she is doing so in the best interest of the nation.

Barack Obama’s problem is that he ran as a populist and is “ruling” as a radical Progressive. Had he ran as a radical Progressive, he would not have won. The people do not like being played for suckers and that is the feeling the people have about Barack Obama. Why else would Democrat voters vote for Republicans?

Gallup Says There Are More Conservatives Than Liberals…

June 15, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama, Fiscal Irresponsibility, GOP/RNC, John McCain, Liberal MSM Bias, News, Opinion, Presidential Politics, RINOS, The Economy, The GOP's Leftward Turn Comments Off

… If this is true, how then could Obama win an election?

In a recent Gallup poll conducted between January and May of this year shows that more people in this country identify themselves as Conservative than Liberal. This makes you wonder then how we ended up with a Socialist President and a Socialist controlled Congress. We’ll get to that in a bit.

Gallup’s numbers are telling -

40% identify themselves as Conservative
35% identify themselves as Moderate
21% identify themselves as Liberal

Breaking these numbers down -

9% identify themselves as Very Conservative
31% identify themselves as Conservative
35% identify themselves as Moderate
16% identify themselves as Liberal
5% identify themselves as Very Liberal
4% have no opinion

If only those who identify themselves as Very Conservative and Very Liberal voted, we should beat them. If only those who identified themselves as Conservative or Liberal voted, the GOP should beat them. If everyone who is Conservative went head to head with those who identified themselves as Liberal the libtards should still lose. Then how can it be that Obama won the election?

It was the culminating factors of identity politics, fraud, and Conservative apathy with the GOP’s leftist turn. Let me explain.

Let’s begin with Conservative apathy shall we?

In the 2006 midterm elections, which the 2008 Presidential campaign was literally a hold over from, Fiscal Conservatives failed to make their presence known at the ballot box because of the 109th Congress’s failure to reign in spending. After-all, if the American people wanted fiscally irresponsible legislators controlling the nation’s treasury then they should have the genuine article – Democrats. So Fiscal Conservatives stayed home.

The GOP since 2001 has been inundated with true Neo-Cons. Individuals who used to be liberal Democrats who got the nationalism bug after the terrorist attacks on September 11th. These people are gung-ho on national security but still socially liberal. This empowered “moderates” (see also RINO’s) like John McCain and that is how the Democrat Party’s dream Republican candidate got himself nominated. And OH! the NY Times endorsement in the primary didn’t hurt either. But by in large McCain has the watering down of the GOP to thank.

The GOP has tried the moderation bit and it has failed miserably. All that moderating did was strengthen the liberals on the other side. Moderation of the GOP allowed the KOSsaks and DUmmies of the left to consolidate power and nominate their dream candidate – Barry O.

There existed an element within the GOP last November who refused to vote for Senator McCain even with Sarah Palin on the ticket. Still some others only voted for him because of Gov. Palin. Then there were people like me who voted for McCain because it was a vote against Barry. No one but the RINO’s and Neo-Cons wanted McCain for President. Even some of those Moderate Republicans we’ve heard so much about voted for the Man with the Middle Name Hussein. There is no way he could have won without them.

Combine these facts about the fracturing of the GOP with the well documented voter fraud efforts by ACORN and its associated “Community Activism” organizations and that spelled victory for the Man with the Middle Name Hussein. For all their bitching about George Bush stealing an election, the liberals found a way to truly steal one in 2009. They did so by having dead people, dogs, cats, and children vote along with the homeless who voted upwards of 9 times. Now THAT, is stealing an election.

GOP: Populism and Political Expediency Trumps Conservative Principles

January 25, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, John McCain, Liberal MSM Bias, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Presidential Politics, Stupidity, The GOP's Leftward Turn, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

Elected officials often abandon principles in their quest to keep their jobs. More often than not, they attempt to appeal to voters of the opposite party to maintain that power. This is especially evident in the GOP.

Since the late 1990s, a shift in the politics of elected Republicans has occurred. In 1994, the GOP took control of the US House for the first time in 45 years based on a concerted effort to instill Conservative principles. It worked – until House Republicans abandoned the Contract With America and began to use their new found power in the manner of their predecessors.

President George W. Bush placed no checks on the Republican majority that he inherited and allowed the RINOs free reign to spend like Democrats. Understandably, a certain amount of overspending was required in the wake of the September 11th Attacks on our country, the Global War on Terrorism, and Katrina. But Congressional Republicans went far beyond required spending and began to spend for the sake of their jobs.

In 2006, Conservatives by in large abandoned the GOP hoping that losing the majority would teach Congressional Republicans that the path they were on was the wrong one. That said however, the GOP allowed a liberal press to bully it into nominating a donkey in elephant clothing.

John McCain – who I’m reverting back to referring to as Juan MexiCain, was not anyone’s first choice to run for President. Personally, mine was Fred Thompson. But the best choice in all honesty was Mitt Romney.

With Dems registering as Republicans in key states during the primaries and voting for Juan, the NY Times endorsing his candidacy, and the insanely moronic idea that populism is the platform upon which you win elections is what got Juan the nomination. You didn’t see Barry/Barack “Don’t mention my middle name Hussein until the inauguration or I’ll label you a racist and fear monger” Obama/Soetoro/Obama pandering to the middle did you? Hell NO! He played to the left while keeping his message vague enough to fool the middle of the road idiots who fail to pick a side. They bought into his undefined promise of ‘hope’ and ‘change’ and Barry won.

If the GOP wants to regain the majority in Congress in 2010, it must return to it’s Conservative roots. If the GOP wants to prevent Barry/Barack “Don’t mention my middle name Hussein until the inauguration or I’ll label you a racist and fear monger” Obama/Soetoro/Obama from being elected to a second term, it cannot do so thinking that populism and reaching across the aisle to make the Democrats’ job easier.

As for calls by Republican Leadership for giving the POTUS a chance – No Chance. Do so at the peril of this nation. Giving him what he wants is a path to fulfilling the 45 goals of the CPUSA.

Time To Rally The Troops – McCain/Palin Victory

November 4, 2008 Barack Hussein Obama, Election 2008, John McCain, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, Presidential Politics View Comments

Cross-Posted with permission FROM Big Dog’s Weblog

Author – Big Dog

Tuesday, November 3, 2008 - Well, we have come down to the end of what seems like an eternal campaign season and tomorrow Americans (and some illegals as well as dead people and a few cartoon characters) will vote for a new person to run this country. This is the rally call for all to get out and vote for John McCain.

The poll numbers are now close because no pollster wants to look stupid on election day but the media and the pollsters have been misleading people all along. The race is close and it will likely come down to the wire tomorrow with several key battleground states playing a pivotal role in the process. The one and only thing that will determine the outcome of this election is voter turn out. If all the people who have conservative values as well as those who believe Obama is not the right man for the job turn out, there is no way John McCain can lose.

The media will try to discourage you. They have been doing that all along which is why they keep talking about landslides and an Obama win as a foregone conclusion. They do not want McCain supporters to vote so they can ensure their chosen candidate wins. We can stop them from winning by getting out and voting. We have the numbers if we ALL just get out and vote. They think we are disheartened. They think we are uninspired and they think they have this wrapped up. It is up to us to show them that the voters decide the elections and not the media wing of the Democratic party.

No matter what you hear you must get out and vote. The media will play this very dirty. Exit polls will be released very early in the day claiming a big Barack Obama win. This will be a deliberate attempt to influence McCain voters. They will be leaking this “news” to discourage us from voting. Remember their early exit polls in 2004. If they had been correct John Kerry would have been president.

We cannot allow ourselves to get caught up in the emotion of the moment. We absolutely must vote regardless of the news we hear. Some networks are going to call certain key states for Obama as soon as their polls close to discourage you. They will be proved wrong later and will be laughed at but they do not care. Their goal is to secure an Obama win. If he wins, their gaffe will be overlooked. If Obama loses the networks that called states for him early on will look like fools and fall under heavy scrutiny. After all they have done to us and for Obama in this election it is our time to get out and make them look bad. We have the power but we must remain focused.

Those of you on the west coast will be particularly vulnerable as will some east coast states that close after a few of the central states. Regardless of what you hear you must vote. It is imperative that you vote NO MATTER WHAT.

I know this is repetitive but the process is not a lost cause unless we either do not turn out or we allow them to influence our behavior by convincing us that it is a waste of time to go vote. They will work very hard throughout the day to keep you from voting.

Do not let idiots like Keith Olberman and his ilk influence your behavior. No matter what get out and vote. We hold our fate and our destiny in our hands.

Remember how close Florida was in 2000? That is because a network deliberately called the state for Gore an hour before the polls closed in the panhandle which is in the central timezone. That area is heavily Republican and tens of thousands of people went home rather than stand in line because they were convinced by the media that Bush had lost. If they had stayed in line the fiasco after the election would never have happened.

They will try this again. They will call states early and they will continually say that exit polls show Obama in a landslide. There is no winner until all of our votes are counted and that means we have to vote for them to count.

Remember, you MUST vote. Get your family and friends and head to the polls. There should be no obstacle that keeps you from the polls. The people in Iraq risked death to vote and they still voted. We can accept nothing less than 100% dedication to this cause.

Get out and vote and we can win. The Democrats are counting on their newly registered supporters but we have many more people as long as we all vote.

Let’s keep clear heads, keep our emotions in check and make sure we are in the battle. We need all our troops to rally now to ensure that America is not taken over by Obama and his Socialist plans. It is time for us to show John McCain the same dedication he has shown this country. We cannot let him down.

See you in victory!

Obama wins the popular vote but:
McCain 274 Obama 264 in the electoral.

It can happen but the outcome depends on you.

Obama Blames FoxNews for Drop in His Poll Numbers

October 20, 2008 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Election 2008, John McCain, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, Presidential Politics, Stupidity, Voter Fraud View Comments

I’m convinced that if there were no FOX News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls. If I were watching FOX News, I wouldn’t vote for me, right? Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that? – Barack Obama

If this is true then the question to Barry should be, “If Fox is responsible for a drop in your poll numbers, how much of a gain in the polls do you attribute to MSNoBodyCares, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and CNN?” He conveniently forgets the campaigning that has been done on his part by the alphabets and the dead tree media. OH – and for the record… He IS A FREAK!

The Media Research Center’s President L. Brent Bozell, III had this to say about Obama’s whining…

“Okay, Sen. Obama, we will cede you the point that the Fox News Channel, by accurately portraying you and your record, has brought you down 2-3% in the polls. Now it’s time for you to concede that were it not for NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, etc., etc., etc. Sen. John McCain would be up by 20%.”

Sounds like a fair question to ask in my opinion. After-all, Obama seems to have a need to out spend Sen. McCain on negative campaign ads in battleground states 2 sometimes 3 to 1, enlist the assistance of ACORN to register cartoon characters, out of state football teams, dead people, dogs, cats, felons, and have people register multiple times on top of all the free campaigning that has been done by the alphabets and dead trees to get him the slim margin that he currently enjoys. What if this were an actual fair election? McCain would be blowing this up-start out of the water.

This only proves that it takes political trickery in order for Democrats to win anything. Let us not forget how Barry won his state Senate seat. He used political maneuvering to keep his opponents off the ballot. A change from the same old politics… try a new lie Barry.

Obama and the Financial Collapse

Barry O and his Democrat friends on the hill would have you believe that the Bush Administration is responsible for the current mess that they are attempting to buy our way out of. Buy that is with taxpayers’ money. These are the same people who collected donations from the very institutions which created this mess.

I’ve got a series of videos detailing Barry’s culpability along with that of his DemCong leadership colleagues. But of course, they want you to believe that keeping them in power and awarding Barry with the Presidency is ‘Change’. Not hardly.

H/T: Ms. Underestimated

Senator McCain has picked up on Barry’s advisors…

First there is Jim Johnson

Next there is Franklin Reines

The Chicago Machine…

Change? I think not. Barry is nothing more than the same failed Democrat pie in the sky Utopian dreaming policy that failed Mr. Lyndon Johnson and Mr. Jimmy Carter. They were wrong in the direction of the country when they tried the libtard direction and Barry is wrong trying to take us in that direction now.

And what about the bailout?

I am Gribbit and I approve THIS message…

Obama Sees No Need to Suspend Debate Question is Why?

September 25, 2008 Abortion, Barack Hussein Obama, Election 2008, John McCain, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, Presidential Politics, US Senate View Comments

Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain announced Wednesday that he was suspending his campaign beginning today as he returns to Washington so that he can do the job that he was elected to do. This suspension of his campaign is said to include postponement of his debate with Democrat Nominee Barry Obama if needed. Obama said that he didn’t see a need to postpone the debate and that the next President should be able to multi-task. But what is the real reason why Obama is so anxious to see this debate go off but refused to meet McCain out among the people in town-hall forums around the country. Well I believe that I know the answer to that question.

Barry has been holed-up in Clearwater, FL for days preparing for a moderated debate where he has to be able to give answers without the aid of a teleprompter. He’s been practicing for this debate and any delay might cause the effectiveness of this practice to be diminished.

Here’s the evidence (WARNING VIDEO CONTAINS QUESTIONABLE LANGUAGE)…

Barry can ill-afford to be caught like a deer in headlights like he was at Saddleback. As someone who is as staunchly pro-death as he is, he shouldn’t have come across as such a indecisive twit like he did. One of the major attractions for those who confuse articulate rhetoric with the ability to lead has been Obama’s command of the English language. Which if you watched the video was sorely lacking at Saddleback. Why? No teleprompter.

So Barry has been in Florida in an eleventh-hour cram session like a college student preparing for an exam in a subject that he’s weak on. He cannot afford a delay which is precisely why a delay may be necessary in my opinion.

On a related note…

It took an invitation from the White House for Barry to tear himself away from his debate preparation and attend a bipartisan meeting with McCain and President Bush. How sad is that?

Fannie and Freddie Could Have Been Avoided 3 Years Ago

September 24, 2008 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Democrat Corruption, Election 2008, Fiscal Responsibility, John McCain, Liberal MSM Bias, Lunatic Lefties, MSM Ignorance, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, Presidential Politics, The Do-Nothing Congress, The Economy, U.S. House, US Senate Comments Off

From FoxNews.com:

Isn’t it ironic that SanFran Nan and the rest of her fellow Democrats including their Nominee for President, Barry O, are blaming the Bush Administration for the down turn in the economy sparked by poor lending practices in the housing market? Isn’t it strangely ironic that in recent days we have found out that the problems stemmed from practices put into place to placate the Senate Banking Committee in 2005? And Isn’t it just a bit more than a coincidence that the current Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Christopher Dodd (D CT) and the Democrat Nominee for President of the United States one Barack Hussein Obama, received the highest amounts in contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? It’s true according to several sources. Most especially Open Secrets.

Dodd received $165,400 from Fannie and Freddie’s PACs and Employees.
Obama received $126,349 from Fannie and Freddie’s PACs and Employees.

On top of these revelations we have also discovered that the Democrat Nominee in 2004, a certain John F. Kerry, received $111,000. That is as of September 8, 2008.

To be completely fair, it seems not many in the House and Senate from either Party are not guilty of taking Freddie and Fannie money. To his credit, Sen. John McCain took contributions from individuals but not Freddie and Fannie’s PACs.

The most interesting fact of these numbers is the fact that Barry O took the second highest amount of money from Fannie, Freddie, and their employees in the shortest amount of time. He has only completed 3 years and just under 9 months of his first term as a United States Senator and did not serve in the House before this term. So in just under 4 years in the Senate, most of which time he has spend campaigning for President, he has taken $31,500 per year in office. That is more than a lot of people make in personal income in a single year.

Bottom line is that those responsible for the current mess are running Congress. Now Congress is willing to take some action on oversight. That is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house after a majority of the hens have been eaten. This could have been fixed in 2005.

Besides FoxNews… Where is the news media? Absent as usual when it comes time to report on Democrat failure.
