The ‘Slaughter Solution’ Officially Nixed By Senate Parliamentarian

I love The Drudge Report. It is like one stop shopping for news stories. As of this writing, there is a headline up on Drudge that says…

Ruling Kills an Option for Moving Health Bill…

Note: The link to the story from Drudge is incorrect and it leads nowhere. In the interest of full disclosure, the link that I’ve embedded is the correct link to the story.

I read that headline and got excited. “Is the plan to use Reconciliation dead?” Not exactly…

According to Roll Call, the Senate Parliamentarian has made a ruling that directly impacts a tactic that has been in the works in the House that has been dubbed the ‘Slaughter Solution’. Named for House Rules Chairman – Louise Slaughter – it is a tactic whereby the House would approve the Senate bill but would not forward it onto the White House for signature until AFTER the Senate approved changes to the current Senate bill through Reconciliation. Problem – the bill must become law before the Senate can modify it through Budget Reconciliation. Meaning, it must have the President’s signature BEFORE the Senate can proceed. If it chooses to.

As I’ve pointed out before, Senate Democrats are going to want the issue of “health care” to die and die quickly after a law if passed. Once the ink from the President’s signature is dry on that document, they want to forget about it because that bill represents a massive net loss in Senate seats for the Democrats on November 4th. Dragging this thing out will only keep the matter fresh in the minds of the voting public and they Do – Not – Want – That. Senate Democrats are banking on America’s short-term memories and political ADHD to keep them in power even if by only one seat.

If this bill is approved by the House, after the President’s signature is on it, should the Senate attempt to amend it through Budget Reconciliation they can only address items that impact the federal budget. Policy is left out of the equation anyway. So any hopes for substantive changes in the bill are automatically nixed. However, the Republicans will stone wall any changes made to the bill through the amendment process further dragging out the debate. ‘Health Care’ – more aptly named Death Care, will drag out towards the summer months when every single Republican candidate for House and Senate will be using members voting records on this hotbed issue to sink every single Democrat candidate they can.

The American public want a mulligan. They would rather nothing pass than this bill. But Democrat understand if this bill does not pass the President’s agenda is sunk. With 279 of them currently serving in elected office indelibly tied to Obama on this issue, Michael Moore’s prediction of the November election will be an inconvenient reality. He told Rachel Madcow…

“And now it’s like, I just feel like the Democrats are – they’re in for an ass-whooping of Biblical proportions in November if they don’t get off the dime and do the job they were sent there to do. I mean that. I mean, it – don’t they see that?” – source Newsbusters

Vulnerable Democrats are avoiding the President like the plague. When Obama chose to propagandize the American people through an orchestrated event at a St. Louis high school where was Missouri Senatorial candidate Robin Carnahan? She was attending a fundraiser in Washington DC. While Obama was helping incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill raise money for her 2012 re-election campaign.

Obama is fast becoming a political liability for Democrats facing a jobloss in 2010. His track record to this point is dismal. He failed in Copenhagen twice. He failed to be any help in New Jersey and Virginia as both races for governor were lost to the Republican candidates. He failed in Massachusetts allowing the Republican candidate to be elected and losing his filibuster proof Senate.

I said his filibuster proof Senate because that is what it was. A 60 vote majority of yes-men/women. With 60 votes they could have literally rubber-stamped anything that he wanted. But they didn’t and that’s how he ended up in this predicament.

How else can you explain what has happened? How else could his “health care” takeover have failed? It was completely done within his Party. Blaming Republicans to his base may be popular with his incredibly shrinking base but the reality of the situation is understood by a vast majority of voting Americans and it shows in the polls. Even the incredibly Democrat friendly Gallup Poll has Obama’s approval rating at an all time low (for their poll) at 46%. How much lower can he go?

According to Rasmussen Reports and their Presidential Approval Index he is sitting at -21. Meaning 21% more Americans strongly disapprove of his job performance than strongly approve.

Before the 2008 elections I told all of you that Obama is a man who has failed at every single thing he has tried except running for a couple of political offices – including the Presidency. Why would the electorate put trust in a man who is an epic failure? They did and this is what we got.

He is liar of grand proportions who makes Slick Willy’s finger wagging look like an innocent white lie. He has broken just about every single campaign promise he made. Why would anyone trust this man? The incredibly shocking thing is there are millions who do. Thank GOD most of them never vote.

Doubling Down on Death Care

Yesterday the Emperor paraded out a bunch of people in white lab coats – claimed them to be doctors, physicians’ assistants, and nurses – to publicly “instruct” Congress that the time for debate is over. Like a strict father to his petulant children he said (in a nutshell), “the time of tomfoolery is over so get to work and pass my bill.”

Where his clout comes from he hasn’t a clue. But in the opinion of this voting citizen anyone who votes for this sham of a “health care bill” is committing political suicide. I guess he hasn’t noticed but the primary season has begun and at-risk members of the House and Senate are going to be very weary about sticking their necks too far out. They have the fear of a fattened-up turkey on Thanksgiving in their eyes.

He arrogantly touted that this plan has the best aspects of both Democrat and Republican proposals in it. But – it really doesn’t. It has all the destructive aspects of the Progressives in it for sure, but nothing of substance from the right. The American people know this to be true and their Congress-critters know that their constituents aren’t as stupid as the Emperor hopes they are.

Senate Democrats don’t really want any part of using budget reconciliation to placate the far left in the House. Not to mention, they can’t until the House passes the already passed Senate bill which hasn’t a snowball’s chance in Satan’s bedroom of passing in the House.

Harry Reid knows that he’s out of a job come the end of the year so he’s willing to double down with the Emperor. Pelosi, she knows that the libtards in her district are just stupid enough to continue down the road to socialism even as those very policies are destroying their home state. So she’s comfortable in knowing that her job is safe – her job as a US Congress-critter that is. As for being Speaker? In her mind it has been a good 4 years,. But come January, she has to give up her private airline.

Any Senator up for re-election is toast if they sign onto passing this thing under reconciliation. Any Progressive Congress-critter knows that they are toast if they sign on to the Senate bill. Any moderate Congress-critter knows they are as well.

In short, I don’t think this thing has legs. Honestly, I don’t see it passing because too much power is at stake. Too many in Congress will see their political futures go by the wayside with their “yes” vote. The Emperor is still in there punching though. He’s already begun to hand out bribes.

From the Weekly Standard…

Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

Think back dear reader to the 2006 midterms… Remember a term the left used to gain power by appealing to the politically apathetic? The term was “Culture of Corruption”. What do you call a Democrat Leadership in the House, Senate, and White House who buys votes for legislation using political payoffs, appointments, and graft? How about a Party who keeps disgraced members in Committee Chairs in the midst of ethics investigations? What do you call a Presidential Administration who appoints a tax cheat to head the Department of the Treasury? I don’t know about you but to me that defines what a true “Culture of Corruption” is.

It is up to us – WE THE PEOPLE – to do what we have done since they first set a deadline to pass this monstrosity. Make our voices heard on Capital Hill. The message should be loud and clear. Pass this bill and resign because come November – you are out of a job Jack.

The message to the incoming Congress should be just as clear. Repeal EVERYTHING this Congress has passed immediately.

Make no mistake – there is about to be regime change on Capital Hill. It’s going to happen. The question for Democrats is how much control are you willing to give up? The more of you who sign on the greater the Republican majority will be.

So go ahead lefty – sign on to a bill and a process which short circuits the American people. We kind of want you to.

Can Liberal News Media Sustain Itself Without Commercial Advertising?

February 28, 2010 Communism, Liberal MSM Bias, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, MSM Ignorance, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, The Fiction of Global Warming, socialism Comments Off

It is well known that in the war that is cable news, Fox is destroying CNN and literally killing MSNoBodyCares. Evidence of this became overwhelmingly evident as I experienced first hand recently.

In my home the ONLY time MSNoBodyCares is EVER displayed on my television is during the Olympics. Earlier this evening, I was at my wife’s parents’ home and they were watching a couple of apolitical programs on MSNoBodyCares. After a while something began to occur to me. All of the commercials were promos for their own losing leftist political shows. Not one of the ads were for a commercial product or service. As-a-matter-of-fact, some of the promos were running back to back for the same show. How lame can they be?

There were ads for Rachel Mad-cow, Mr. Ed, Keith Olberdouce, and Chris “Thrill Up My Leg” Matthews; but not one single ad for potato chips, diapers, feminine hygiene products, soap, beer, or any other commercial product. How long can a “news” organization survive without commercial advertising? Just ask Error Amerika – the former home of Rachel Mad-cow incidentally. Error Amerika went bankrupt and recently ceased operations because ~~liberal~~ progressive political commentary cannot sell advertising because it cannot draw an audience.

~~Liberalism~~ Progressivism DOES – NOT – SELL. As a political ideology Progressivism is diametrically opposed to business. Progressivism is Marxism Lite. Where Marxism achieves its Communist goal through revolution – most often times violent revolution – Progressivism achieves the same goal through evolution. Evidence – the 20th Century.

During the 20th Century, the United States evolved from a nation of rugged individualism into a nation on the brink of a pseudo-socialist dependency society which is only progressing at an increasingly rapid pace under the current Presidential Infestation with a massive Progressive Democrat majority in both houses of Congress.

MSNoBodyCares – and the whole NBC family in general – has positioned itself to become a de facto propaganda wing of the Obama Infestation. According to their ultra leftist political commentators, the Emperor can do no wrong while anything Republican/Conservative/Libertarian is by definition racist, obstructionist and standing in the way of progress. MSNoBodyCares is populated by on-air talking heads that do not reflect the ethnic diversity of the United States in any way. Mad-cow is Caucasian as is Olberdouce, Matthews, Schultz, and every other political anchor in their lineup. But yet they have the audacity to say the TEA Party movement is made up of sheet wearing racists? Remember what they say about people who live in glass houses…

ABC News has announced that they are cutting their staff significantly. How long do you believe MSNoBodyCares can afford to staff their “news” network if they continue to air programs without commercial sponsorship? General Electric is already attempting to unload the white elephant known as NBC. Could it be that GE’s embracing of ~~liberal~~ progressive politics is beginning to affect the bottom line?

GE and NBC dove head first into the man-made global warming agenda and now perhaps they are rethinking that whole boondoggle. But they cannot out-rightly admit that they were wrong. Oh no – can’t have that! Heads must first roll, management must change, a new owner will be found who will lull the apathetic public into believing that it never happened. And the whole idea that NBC was behind the global push to indoctrinate will be conveniently forgotten. But as of right now, they have no advertising. At least for their cable “news” channel. And without a revenue stream it is only a matter of time before GE decides to dump the left wing cable news channel. Or at least consider a realignment.

Dems Following the Emperor Into Political Obscurity [UPDATED]

February 22, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, The Economy, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

This week’s “health care summit” is nothing more than a PR opportunity for the Emperor in that it will give him face time on TV portraying a facade of “bipartisanship”. It is his way to truly show the Republicans as the “party of NO” when they reject his ultimatum. Because that is what this is. “Either you play ball or I’ll use my bully pulpit to portray you as standing in the way.” That’s the real message to Republicans on Thursday.

The Infestation and the Democrat Politburo aim to use political chicanery to muscle through legislation which has already passed one house – the Senate. A bill that even Democrats do not like incidentally. They will then make “adjustments” to the Senate bill through budget reconciliation. Problem – the bill itself.

The bill is filled with unconstitutional provisions including, but not limited to, the health insurance mandate. Also included is a provision which basically says that it cannot be repealed by subsequent Congresses. How absurd! Even the Constitution has a method of modification built into it.

This is nothing more than the Emperor dictating and his Politburo complying.

Some on the left make the case that if the Emperor does not force this through it will mean disaster for Democrats in November and beyond. Actually, the opposite is true.

Every single Democrat who votes to pass this turkey will be doing so at his/her own political peril. The people do not want it. A New York Times/CBS poll shows the American public is more concerned with jobs than health insurance.

Which is a bigger concern to you personally–the economy and jobs or health insurance and health care costs?[1]

Economy and jobs 59%

Health insurance and costs 27%

Both equally (Vol.) 13%

Neither (Vol.) 1%

Speaking of poll numbers, Obama’s latest 2 Rasmussen Reports Presidential Approval Indexes have signaled terrible news for the Emperor. His index is down to its lowest point ever at -19 with a measly 22% of those polled saying they strongly support the President and 41% saying they strongly oppose. His overall numbers in the dumper as well. According to the index, Obama has an approval rating of 45% with 54% opposed.[2]

If Democrat House members actually believe that following this moron is the way to keep their jobs then they are going to have the shock of their lives come November. The smart money is on killing this bill forever and always.

The job of the Conservative blogosphere, talk radio, every single elected Republican and their combined staffs over the next 9 months is to continually remind the American people of who is responsible for this bill. Who wrote it and who voted for it in its various forms. Any ‘yes’ votes on this turkey should be portrayed as the political “kiss of death”.

OH – and Democrats…

By all means parade your increasingly unpopular Emperor in front of your constituents. The more he campaigns the more Republicans will win. When his Infestation is done on January 20, 2013, he will be known throughout American history as the worst Chief Executive ever to hold the mantle of leadership in the Republic. Anyone who follows his “leadership” will be forever pinned to that legacy. So by all means – GO AHEAD.

[UPDATE 1712]

After thinking about this post for a while I have realized that I left something out. The destruction of a fiction as-a-matter-of-fact…

The Emperor and the entire left has been spewing a falsehood that the GOP hasn’t offered any solutions. Sorry to inform you but yes they have. You can view or download the pdf of the GOP plan HERE as well as a summery HERE and a side-by-side comparisson to the Pelosi bill HERE. Notice the dates on the documents.

GOP’s solutions…

Number one: let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines.
Number two: allow individuals, small businesses, and trade associations to pool together and acquire health insurance at lower prices, the same way large corporations and labor unions do.
Number three: give states the tools to create their own innovative reforms that lower health care costs.
Number four: end junk lawsuits that contribute to higher health care costs by increasing the number of tests and procedures that physicians sometimes order not because they think it’s good medicine, but because they are afraid of being sued.

SOURCE

The truth is that the left and their President are not interested in alternative solutions. They only see one solution. Socialism. Anything that is not part of their socialist take over of America is not a consideration. Their goal is not the health and welfare of the people their goal is control of the people. The GOP’s plan leaves the people in charge and that is something the left can not allow to happen.

If Obama is awake – he’s lying. If Pelosi or Reid have heartbeats – they are lying.

Putting Unemployment Numbers Into Prospective

February 15, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Liberal MSM Bias, Lunatic Lefties, News, Obama Fascism, Ohio Politics, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, The Economy, Unemployment Comments Off

In the back and forth over unemployment/underemployment numbers, we lose sight of the fact that some areas of the country are hurting more than others. Throwing off the true numbers are areas like Washington DC where the federal government is hiring but yet private sector jobs are almost non-existent.

I took a look at one state – my own – and specifically each county within that state to gain a prospective as to how the Obama Infestation and Uncle Ted[1] are handling the economy.

In Ohio, there are only 19 of the 88 counties that are below the national unemployment average. The county with the lowest unemployment numbers (as of December 2009) is Holmes County with an unemployment rate of 7.4%. In contrast, Holmes County had an unemployment rate of 5.9% in December of 2008.

Other Ohio Counties with unemployment numbers below the national average of 9.7%…

Licking County 9.6%
Hancock County 9.6%
Madison County 9.5%
Lorain County 9.5%
Warren County 9.3%
Fairfield County 9.3%
Union County 9.2%
Athens County 9.2%
Lake County 8.9%
Cuyahoga County 8.9%
Franklin County 8.8%
Medina County 8.2%
Mercer County 8.2%
Lawrence County 8.0%
Geauga County 7.9%
Delaware County 7.7%

Of the 88 Ohio counties, 18 of them were in excess of 14.0% unemployment as of December 2009. The county with the highest unemployment rate is Morgan County with 17.5%. This is an actual recorded unemployment number not an estimated underemployment number. In contrast, Morgan County had an unemployment rate of 12.8% in December of 2008.

Other Ohio counties above 14.0% in Ohio…

Highland County 17.3%
Ottawa County 17.3%
Pike County 16.7%
Clinton County 16.2%
Noble County 16.2%
Huron County 15.9%
Adams County 15.8%
Meigs County 15.8%
Williams County 14.9%
Carroll County 14.5%
Monroe County 14.3%
Perry County 14.3%
Fulton County 14.3%
Ashtabula County 14.2%
Vinton County 14.2%
Jefferson County 14.1%
Crawford County 14.0%

Of Ohio’s 88 counties, only 9 are below the state unemployment average of 10.9% and above the national average of 9.7% (as of December 2009). They are…

Summit County 10.8%
Portage County 10.7%
Greene County 10.6%
Auglaize County 10.6%
Clermont County 10.6%
Gallia County 10.4%
Belmont County 10.3%
Washington County 10.0%
Butler County 9.9%
Knox County 9.7%

This leaves 51 Ohio counties in excess of the nation’s unemployment average. There are 42 counties in excess of the 10.9% state average but below 14.0%. They are…

Henry County 13.9%
Trumbull County 13.8%
Scioto County 13.6%
Van Wert County 13.6%
Columbiana County 13.5%
Muskingum County 13.4%
Ashland County 13.1%
Coshocton County 13.1%
Fayette County 13.1%
Seneca County 13.0%
Richland County 13.0%
Ross County 13.0%
Brown County 12.9%
Guernsey County 12.9%
Mahoning County 12.8%
Defiance County 12.8%

Don’t get me wrong, before Obama took over, Ohio was no employment mecca. Our state has been shedding high-paying manufacturing jobs for decades and as a result has had to re-educate ourselves. An abundance of these new lost jobs are not manufacturing jobs. They are skilled jobs. How can anyone justify the federal government enticing a major high tech employer to move from Ohio to another state through the Stimulus bill? Not to China or Mexico. NCR is moving from Dayton, Ohio to Duluth, GA thanks to the American Robbery and Redistribution Act.

What is Obama’s answer to America’s job losses? Green Jobs.

In Spain the government encourage the building of “green jobs” industries and it has had disastrous effects. For every green job created, 2 were lost. Spain is next in line to collapse after Greece.

Here in Ohio we had one of those much touted Ethanol plants in Lima. It went bankrupt and closed 2 years ago. So much for green jobs.

As for Uncle Ted… He’s been right there with Obama chasing jobs out of our state and out of our country. Obama promised ‘Change’ in the 2008 election cycle and ‘Change’ is about to come. Ohio is going to resist becoming another DPRM* come November 4th and Uncle Ted will be in the unemployment line with the rest of the state.

Mrs. Gribbit and I live in Auglaize County. As of December 2009 our unemployment rate was 10.6%. According to ODJFS’s numbers, as of December 2009 Auglaize County had a workforce of 26,400 workers with 23,600 actually working and 2,800 residents looking for work. In November 2009 Auglaize County had an unemployment rate of 10.0% meaning the unemployment rate rose .6% during a month that the Obama Infestation claims indicates that the economy is improving based on a .3% decline in the national unemployment rate. In contrast, the unemployment rate for December 2008 for Auglaize County was 6.8%. In the event you’ve linked over from one of those non-thinking DRONE sites, that is an increase of 3.8% in 12 months. That ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’ thing isn’t working out for rural Ohio.

In Montgomery County (Dayton) where we used to live, the unemployment picture is much more bleak. The County has 263,800 workers with 232,200 of them working and 31,600 jobless for an unemployment rate of 12.0%. In November the unemployment rate was 11.4%. So as the Emperor touts his economic recovery, cities like Dayton are still losing jobs.

In Dayton – Montgomery County’s largest city – only 59,400 workers out of a workforce of 68,400 were actually working leaving 9,000 workers without a job. Dayton saw a December unemployment rate of 13.2% following a November at 12.6%. By contrast, Dayton had a jobless rate of 9.5% in December of ‘08 with Montgomery County coming in at 8.5%.

So it is evident that the ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’ thing isn’t going so well in urban Ohio either. And oh, Montgomery County broke heavily for Obama in the ‘08 Presidential election.

Let us keep in mind that these numbers do not represent the number of Ohioans who have stopped looking for work or who have taken jobs for substandard wages (underemployed). The numbers being thrown around to represent these workers (nationally) are in the neighborhood of 18%. Judging on these numbers, it is my opinion that Barack Hussein Obama is a complete and utter failure. Likewise as an Ohio resident I can only characterize Uncle Ted’s job performance as negligent at best. At worst – criminal.

Ohio’s statewide numbers…

Labor Force – 5,883,500
Employment – 5,254,800
Unemployment – 628,700
December Unemployment rate – 10.7%
November Unemployment rate – 10.2%
December ‘08 Unemployment rate – 7.7%

Euro Doomed To Collapse

February 15, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Democrat Incompetence, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Lunatic Lefties, MSM Ignorance, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Stupidity, The Economy, The Fiction of Global Warming, socialism Comments Off

Europe is in such a shambles that Greece is on the verge of total chaos and the Euro is in danger of complete collapse but yet the President of the United States prefers to follow a EuroSocialist model because he sees it as a success. Every single item on the Obama agenda is EXACTLY what is leading to the collapse of the economy in Greece and the rest of the EU. But he trudges on even considering expanding executive power by issuing Executive Orders as the only way to implement his EuroSocialist modeled agenda.

From the Daily Mail:

The European single currency is facing an ‘inevitable break-up’ a leading French bank claimed yesterday.

Strategists at Paris-based Société Générale said that any bailout of the stricken Greek economy would only provide ’sticking plasters’ to cover the deep- seated flaws in the eurozone bloc.

The stark warning came as the euro slipped further on the currency markets and dire growth figures raised the prospect of a ‘double-dip’ recession in the embattled zone.

Claims that the euro could be headed for total collapse are particularly striking when they come from one of the oldest and largest banks in France – a core founder-member.

In a note to investors, SocGen strategist Albert Edwards said: ‘My own view is that there is little “help” that can be offered by the other eurozone nations other than temporary, confidence-giving “sticking plasters” before the ultimate denouement: the break-up of the eurozone.’

He added: ‘Any “help” given to Greece merely delays the inevitable break-up of the eurozone.’

According to the article, the Euro has lost 10% of its value since November. The Dollar and Pound are each gaining on the dominant European currency.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post asking, “Economic Recovery Or Economic Ruin? What Is He Up To?“, in which I described exactly this scenario possibly happening here in the United States.

Europe is beginning its descent, will the US follow? It will if Congress does not end the insanity. Congress will only act if we force them to.

Today Sen. Evan Bayh announced that he will not be seeking re-election in spite of leading in the generic poll and banking a $13 million war chest. Why? Does he see what his President has done? Does he see the writing on the wall? I bet he does.

The President will now be issuing executive orders to slip in provisions of ObamaCare and Cap and Tax. Economy destroying measures by executive decree. He needs to be shut down NOW!

Obama’s Infatuation With Failure

It has occurred to me that the Emperor has an unhealthy infatuation with failure. Why do I say that you ask? He seems to favor European Socialism and every single item on his agenda follows the European model which we all can see is a complete and utter failure. Case in point: Greece.

Instead of running away from proven failure, Obama is rushing head-on into it. That is, unless the new found power of the minority and the American people find a way to stop him.

In Greece the national deficit is in excess of 12% of GDP. In the United States the federal budget deficit is nearing 10% of GDP. Excuse me but – DOESN’T ANYONE ELSE SEE A PROBLEM HERE?!?

In Greece the size of their national government encompasses nearly 30% of their labor force. Here in the States, the only sector of the economy that is growing is the public sector (the government). DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER – DANGER – DANGER. DANGER WILL ROBINSON …

So the major question is why? It is part of the plan. Destroy America as we know it and rebuild it into the unachievable socialist utopia that ~~Progressives~~ ~~Liberals~~ ~~Progressives~~ Populists have been attempting to “progress” toward for over a hundred years. Or make us subservient to a world governmental body. Either way, it isn’t good.

Boehner Responds to Obama’s Ohio Libtard Pep-Talk

January 22, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Chicago Politics Goes National, Democrat Incompetence, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics View Comments

In response to the Emperor’s appearance, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R OH-8) had a few choice words…

“When he last visited Elyria, candidate Obama promised that as President he would enact a ‘job creation agenda.’ Yet for the past year, Ohioans have watched anxiously as Washington Democrats’, with the approval of President Obama, have pushed a job-killing agenda that includes a ‘stimulus’ that isn’t working, a government takeover of health care that will raise taxes, increase premiums and cut Medicare for seniors, and a ‘cap and trade’
national energy tax that will devastate Ohio’s economy and kill jobs at a time we can least afford it.

“Ohio’s unemployment report released this morning marks nine straight months of double-digit unemployment in our state. Tens-of-thousands have lost their jobs since the ‘stimulus’ was enacted. Ohioans fed up with Washington Democrats’ job-killing agenda are asking ‘where are the jobs?’

“A jobless recovery is a far cry from what Ohio’s hard-working families were promised. In Elyria today, Ohioans will be looking for the president to signal he will scrap the job-killing policies that are freezing employers large and small from hiring, and work with Republicans on a true job creation agenda built on common-sense solutions to help small businesses create jobs and put Americans back to work.”

Today the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services released December’s unemployment numbers for our state. Ohio’s unemployment rate jumped from 10.6% in November to 10.9% in December.

The Obama Infestation continues to tout his phantom job creation, none of those jobs apparently are in the Buckeye state. During the same period, the national unemployment rate has fallen from 10.5% in October to 10.3% in November and finally 10.0% in December. That is according to the Obama Infestation which has a vested interest in releasing numbers that looks good for the increasingly unpopular Emperor.

Obama came face to face with reality on Tuesday when the voters of Massachusetts rebuked the Obama plan by elected a Republican to a seat that Ted Kennedy held for 47 years. A seat previously occupied by Kennedy’s brother Bobby and before that his brother John. How can it be that this moron saw this as a sign to redouble his efforts to shove through his very unpopular Death Care bill?

Obama told George Stephanopoulos in an interview this week…

“We lost a sense – of – ah… speaking to the American people about what their core values are.”

Look at the wording… He actually said “… speaking TO” not speaking with. To me that spoke volumes about what his true goal is. His goal is to control all of us.

Any sane person looking at that quote would come to the same conclusion. He said that he didn’t speak TO us enough to define for us what our “core values” are supposed to be as defined by him. You’d have to be blind not to see the meaning in his own words.

If he had said “… speaking with” that would imply a discussion. But he didn’t. He said, “… speaking to”.

Later, I will be releasing a post identifying Obama’s destruction of the US economy. He cannot continue to blame our problems on his predecessor.

SF Chronicle is Delusional

The San Francisco Chronicle asked its readers a rhetorical question to which they have no desire to entertain the real answer. They asked…

If the late Edward Kennedy’s Massachusetts Senate seat isn’t safe for Democrats, is Nancy Pelosi’s speakership of the House safe?

The answer to their own question?

The answer is yes, unless there’s a Republican landslide in November.

Her ability to maintain the “speakership” (btw, that isn’t even a real word), is a bit more in doubt than they are allowing their brain dead libtarded readers to think. They erroneously suggest that Republicans need more than a 40 vote swing. Problem – it is actually now 39. Let us not forget that Rep. Parker Griffith has switched teams.

That error aside, let’s for a moment discuss the ramshackled way in which this Speaker, her Senate counterpart, and her President have approached the advancement of their agenda.

They promised transparency. That hasn’t happened. They are making deals in back rooms to buy votes from their own Party members. The whole C-SPAN promise was conveniently ignored by the Emperor, Pelosi, and Reid. They plowed ahead with their socialist fantasy they dubbed ‘health care’ which has nothing to do with improving the health of this nation and everything to do with government control.

People do not wish to live an Orwellian nightmare. We don’t want to live in a society that needs ‘Big Bro’s’ permission for anything. We don’t want him looking over our shoulders and we definitely do not want him looking over our doctor’s shoulder. We don’t want a ‘framework’ in place that would make a single-payer health care system possible. We’ve seen what that kind of system produces in Canada, the UK, and elsewhere. It requires massive economic resources from the government and creates waiting periods for treatment. Often times by the time treatment is approved it is too late to be of any good. Babies are being born in hallways, lavatories, and in the streets as women are turned away due to over crowding. Cancer patients are denied life saving treatments solely based on cost. WE DON’T WANT IT!

The people are tired of political payoffs which seem to be all the rage in Washington under this Speaker and this President. The $787 Trillion dollar stimulus was nothing more than political graft. In the Death Care bill, the Emperor backs the tax on so-called ‘Cadillac’ health plans of 40%. Unless of course, you belong to a union; a clear payoff to big labor for their political support. Contracts for infrastructure, which the stimulus was supposed to be all about even though infrastructure improvements represented a small fraction of the stimulus spending, were only to be granted to firms hiring union workers or paying union wages. More union payoffs.

The promises of ending the politics of cronyism were nothing more than empty words designed to enthrall the masses to empower an agent of ‘change’. Obama has more of his political buddies in his Infestation than any other I can recall. Valerie Jarrett, Anita Dunn (make no mistake, she’s still around), Cass Sunstein, and others. They are all his cronies. Remember the failure to detect gate crashers at the state dinner for India? The woman in charge? Yeah, she’s a pal of Michelle’s.

Speaking of ‘change’, during the campaign we asked, “a ‘change’ from what to what?” A question that went unanswered until the current President took office and began to show the path in which he would proceed.

In the beginning of the 20th Century, a political ideology began to grow called the Progressive Movement. It encompassed not just one of the dominant political parties, but elements of both. Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican, was entranced by this new way of thinking as was Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt (both Democrats).

Progressivism is a way of thinking that is governed by a progression toward another political ideology that lies in wait. A cancer willing to corrupt all that is good in order to replace it with an evil so great that it threatened to encompass the world. Some call it Socialism, others Communism, but at the heart of it all is Marxism.

The Marxist/Socialist/Communist ideology is all one in the same. It has been the cause of more death and destruction on this planet than any other ideology in the history of the world. At its heart, is control. Because the only way to make everyone truly equal, man’s inherent free-will must be removed. The President’s Death Care bill installs a ‘framework’ to do just that.

Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are Progressives. They are not by any stretch of the imagination Democratic. They and their kind have infiltrated the Democrat Party, taken up residence, and now dominate their agenda. The Democrat Party in the past couple of decades have adopted the platform of the Progressive movement and is now, due to their overwhelming majorities in both houses of Congress and the Presidency, poised to implement all that they need to take total control.

But the American people have at last caught on. They have risen up and begun to speak. They are putting Progressives in both political Parties on notice. “We reject your agenda!”

The complaint main stream media, the literal propaganda machine for this President and his Progressive agenda, attempted to mask the importance of the popular uprising of 2009. The Tea Party Movement sent shock-waves through the political spectrum and many in the Republican Party took notice. Some are still clinging to their own brand of Progressivism but most have been awakened to the Will of The People.

The People reject the fiscal irresponsibility that is being utilized by the Progressives to destroy the economy of the United States. The Progressives need the economy to collapse in order to respond to the emergency. The Cloward-Piven Strategy to implement Socialist Revolution.

Cloward-Piven is a strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis.

They don’t even attempt to hide it any longer. Every action that this Infestation, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid go forward with (Progress) is in direct adherence to the strategy outlined by Cloward and Piven.

First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven (today Piven is an honorary chair for the Democratic Socialists of America), the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

This has been exposed and The People are wise. We recognize the “trojan horse” named Obama and we do not like what he’s attempting to do. This caused a rise in The People that the msm attempted to categorize as a “right wing” racist astroturfed political campaign when in actuality many life-long Democrats, Independents, and (and this really kills them) MINORITIES are taking part.

So no San Francisco Chronicle, Pelosi’s “speakership” is not safe. She will more than likely not be returning to the big chair come January, 2011 because the people are on the cusp of revolution. Not the revolution outlined by those two monsters Cloward and Piven but a second American Revolution. And the weapons of this revolution are the ballot boxes. We saw that in Massachusetts with the election of Scott Brown.

How can a Republican win the seat held by a life-long Progressive for over 40 years? And do so when his Party only represents 12% of registered voters in his state? The only answer is revolution. Republicans, Democrats, and (more importantly) Independents at the local and state levels are going to lead this revolution and those who do not adhere to the wishes of the electorate will be finding themselves drifting in the abyss of political irrelevancy.

America wants a return to the principles upon which this nation was founded. Americans of all walks of life understand that the federal government is too big and doomed to failure should it continue to grow as the Cloward-Piven Progressives in charge are directing. The American People understand that there is only 1 corporation that is “too big to fail” and that corporation is the United States of America. And we are all stockholders.

The only question remains is, can the Republicans do any better with The People’s trust? They certainly cannot do any worse.

Sen. Brown Means Death Care Reconciliation – How Will “Moderate” Dems React?

January 18, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, Elections, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

Harry Reid is threatening the use of budget reconciliation for the Death Care bill should Scott Brown prevail tomorrow in the Massachusetts special election. Ok… But how will Moderate Dems in the Senate react to that maneuver? How will the Senate’s 2 Independents react? Sanders will likely vote with the majority but what about Joe Lieberman? Will Ben Nelson fall in line? How about Mary Landrieu? Will their sweetheart deals hold up?

Lets face it campers, the American people do not like political tactics and Reid’s use of reconciliation is just that – a tactic. There will be a voter revolt come November should Reid et al attempt this stunt even if it were to fail. Yes I said fail.

Reid had better hope that he definitely has 51 votes for passage if he uses reconciliation. It is my opinion that many of those who would vote for the bill if brought to the full Senate in regular fashion would not support the bill in reconciliation. And what about the House?

Rep. Charlie Rangel has already publicly stated that negotiating with the Senate is like negotiating with a gun to their heads. The use of budget reconciliation restricts what can be in the bill. Is it likely that all of the points required by House members will make it into a reconciliation bill? I doubt it. So not only will negotiating with the Senate feel like negotiating with a gun to their heads but they will be blind folded, gagged, and restrained. So can an agreement which could pass the Senate in reconciliation pass the House? And if it could squeek by the House can it actually get 51 votes in the Senate?

A New York Congressman is predicting more political shenanigans to pass Death Care. How about a slow count in Massachusetts for starters?

Rep. Eliot Engel opines…

The tell us that it takes 10 days to count the vote in Massachusetts, so I’m sure they’ll be doing a very slow count.

The American people have spoken numerous times about the political maneuvering that those entrenched in Washington’s power frequently use is no longer acceptable. Maybe it would go over in previous decades but in the new information environment they cannot hide from their own words or their own deeds.

If the Senate uses this political maneuver to get this passed in direct contradiction to the wishes of the American people, even more previously thought secure seats for the Democrats will be in danger. Don’t think for one moment that those Democrats who have been firmly cemented in their seats are willing to follow Harry Reid down into the abyss of political irrelevancy. Many of them do not already have deals to become members of the Obama Infestation after their life in Congress. Nor do any of them have deals that would bring them to lobbying firms because they expected to be in their seats for a few more terms.

Reid is going to lose his seat and everybody except Reid understands that. Boxer is in danger in the very blue state of California. Dodd’s seat in Connecticut, another extremely blue state, is in no way shape or form a certainty for anyone let alone a Democrat at this point.

CNN is reporting that the Emperor’s advisers are even finding ways for him to cover his political arse. Failure in Massachusetts marks the 4th major political failure of his rule. He failed in Copenhagen twice. He failed campaigning for Corzine in New Jersey, and now he’s failed in Massachusetts.

Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose Tuesday’s special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for more than 40 years, several Democratic sources told CNN Sunday.

The sources added that the advisers are still hopeful that Obama’s visit to Massachusetts on Sunday – coupled with a late push by Democratic activists – could help Coakley pull out a narrow victory in an increasingly tight race against Republican state Sen. Scott Brown.

However, the presidential advisers have grown increasingly pessimistic in the last three days about Coakley’s chances after a series of missteps by the candidate, sources said.

Real Clear Politics has video of the Emperor being heckled at the Coakley rally yesterday. You can’t make out what the heckler is shouting but it was enough to irritate Coakley supporters and take Barry out of his rhythm.

If anyone actually believes that “Marsha” Coakley (as Rep. Patrick Kennedy calls her) has a snowball’s chance (in Al Gore’s politically motivated global apocalyptic nightmares) of pulling out a victory, they need some heavy medication.

Equally, if anyone believes that Reid’s scorched earth style political tactic to pass this bill in spite of overwhelming opposition to it among the American people is the right path toward maintaining political power, they need locked up.
