Pelosi: “We’re Close”; But Are They?

For over a year now the Democrats have been engaged in an intraParty battle over what they are attempting to call a health care bill. Before I go on, can we all agree to call a spade a spade here? This isn’t health care reform at all. This is a systematic dismantling of the health insurance industry. Nothing in any of the bills that have been discussed over the past year has anything to do with health care. The Emperor’s quest to make health insurance coverage more affordable has nothing to do with actual health care. Just who pays for it.

We can argue until the cows come home about the validity of the Emperor’s suggested proposals. The truth is what is being discussed isn’t really his bill. He doesn’t have a bill. There are only two real bills. The House bill written by Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman and their lobbying buddies; and the Senate bill written by Harry Reid and his lobbyist buddies. The House bill is now deceased. May it rest for eternity along with the Third Reich.

The current “debate” is over the Senate bill. And much to the dismay of the uber-left, they cannot blame the stalemate on Republicans. Why? Because for over 98% of the time spent “debating” this issue, Republicans were denied a seat at the table. This has been a 100% Democrat show and the hold up is within their Party. Reid, Pelosi, and Obama can talk all they want about Republican obstructionism but truth be told until Scott Brown was seated, Republicans couldn’t stop it.

They wanted this thing passed by the summer recess. That didn’t happen. Then it was Labor Day. Nope. Halloween? Sorry. Thanksgiving? Try again. Christmas… They did get the Senate bill passed by Christmas but it was so far away from the House bill that it was basically a non-starter for Conference. Then along came Mr. 41 – Scott Brown – who has vowed to be a NO vote against this boondoggle. Now the Dems are still attempting to find a way to pass something marked (accurately or not) “health care reform” without needing to include Republicans because if they were forced to include the opposition party they would have to compromise on their more Socialist agenda items. And they are NOT willing to do that.

All the fighting has been between Democrats. Because they cannot achieve cloture in the Senate, the only way to pass anything is for the House to pass the Senate bill as is – without warranty show me the Carfax. But they can’t show the House the Carfax because it doesn’t exist. The premise is that the House would pass the Senate bill as is in exchange for a promise to amend the bill through budge reconciliation after it is signed into law. Yeah right. House members are not about to give the Senate a free pass and not get anything of their bill included.

Unlike what has been plastered all over the media for the past 2 – 3 weeks, reconciliation probably won’t be an issue since the likelihood of the House finding the votes needed to pass the Senate bill is about the same as Frosty the Snowman surviving for an hour in a sauna. Let’s look at some numbers.

The House bill barely passed 220 – 215. 217 votes were needed for passage. One of those votes was a Republicans who is now a confirmed NO vote with no chance of changing. One yes vote (John Murtha) has died and two others yes votes have resigned. Another Democrat was a NO and resigned. Still another No vote is no longer a Democrat as he switched Parties right after the vote. By this math Pelosi has the 216 she needs.[1]

Now lets discuss Pelosi’s problems with another group of yes votes last time. Rep. Bart Stupak and a collection of pro-life Democrats are vowing to vote no because the Senate bill allows for federal funding of abortion. There seems to be a level of conjecture about whether or not Stupak and company are willing to betray the pro-life cause in the face of the Chicago tactics of arm twisting and bribery. Never-the-less, Pelosi needs every single Stupak vote or this fails.

Yet other Democrats who were yes votes on the House bill may be no votes on the Senate bill because it isn’t liberal enough. Many pro-public option Democrats may not vote with Pelosi on this because no public option language is included in the legislation and it cannot be added in reconciliation.

The votes simply do not exist and the longer this drags out the less likely it will be to pass. As time clicks by the deeper into primary season we get. Many of those who the Infestation and Pelosi want to vote for this bill may be unwilling to do so if this drags on much longer. A clear majority of Americans do not want this bill. The nation is divided upon whether anything should be done at this time or not but the fact remains, a majority do not want this bill.

As primary season progresses, fewer Democrats will be willing to stretch their necks for this bill. And that may lead to its ultimate demise. Democrats know how unpopular the bills is and may see a vote in favor of it as being a couple of hundred thousand votes against them for reelection. And they’d be right.

Republicans will be using members’ positions on this bill as a campaign tool against incumbent Democrats in November. No votes will stand a chance but yes votes, unless the member is from a very ~~socialist~~ ‘progressive’ area of the country, will signal an early retirement.

In short I don’t believe they are as close as they are leading to believe. If they were, why then would they be asking the White House to back off their March 18th time-line? Food for thought.

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?

Is the ‘Fix’ In? Boston Globe Projects Coakley Winner 8 Hrs. Before Polls Close

January 19, 2010 Democrat Corruption, Elections, Liberal MSM Bias, MSM Ignorance, News, Opinion Comments Off

Perhaps Massachusetts Democrats took the advice of Ed Schultz and has the proverbial “fix” in. The Boston Globe briefly posted a projected winner in the Special Election for United States Senate a full 8 hours before polls close in the Bay State.

The Globe was projecting Coakley the winner 50% – 49% with 1% going to Independent challenger Joe Kennedy. According to the Boston Phoenix who has screen shots of the Boston Globes’ interactive map, Coakley is the winner with 1,032,450 votes compared to Brown’s 1,011,802 votes. Kennedy is snagging 20,649 votes in the yet to be completed vote.

I do understand that based on exit polling it is possible to project winners in the waning hours of the vote. However, there are not exit polling being done by any news agency in Massachusetts because every news agency thought a Coakley win was assured so they didn’t invest in the exit polling framework.

That said however, Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports is paying for an independent exit poll to fill the gap.

It will be interesting to find out if the vote counts meet the briefly posted interactive map. My math shows 2,074,901 votes cast. If that is the final total of votes cast, it would seem to me that stuffing has occurred.

Judgment Day; Dems Scramble to Find Way to Pass Death Care [UPDATED]

January 19, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, Elections, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Health Care, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Stupidity, The Economy, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House, US Senate, United States Constitution, socialism Comments Off

With the latest polls looking rather grim for the Democrat seeking election to the seat formally held prisoner by the late Senator Edward Kennedy, Congressional Democrats and the White House scramble to put together some way to get Death Care rammed through without needing to face cloture with the possibility of a Senator Scott Brown voting ‘NO’. They’ve discussed budget reconciliation but that maneuver would strip the guts out of their Death Care bill. They’ve discussed rushing through a compromised bill while delaying certification of Brown by the Massachusetts Secretary of State thereby allowing their political stooge, Sen. Paul Kirk, to cast the required ‘Yes’ vote on cloture. And now they are actually considering bringing the Senate bill to a vote in the House. Of the three proposals, only the third has a viable shot at achieving their goals.

Attorneys for the Republican Party have been painstakingly going over legal language in Massachusetts law which provided for the current Senator by Special Appointment, Paul Kirk, to be seated and have come to the conclusion that after a winner is declared in the Special Election being held today, Kirk will no longer be a United States Senator. The language in Massachusetts law only provides for an appointee to be seated in the Senate “until election and qualification of the person duly elected to fill the vacancy.”

The Weekly Standard explains…

But in the days after the election, it is Kirk’s status that matters, not Brown’s. Massachusetts law says that an appointed senator remains in office “until election and qualification of the person duly elected to fill the vacancy.” The vacancy occurred when Senator Edward Kennedy died in August. Kirk was picked as interim senator by Governor Deval Patrick.

Democrats in Massachusetts have talked about delaying Brown’s “certification,” should he defeat Democrat Martha Coakley on Tuesday. Their aim would be to allow Kirk to remain in the Senate and vote the health care bill.

But based on Massachusetts law, Senate precedent, and the U.S. Constitution, Republican attorneys said Kirk will no longer be a senator after election day, period. Brown meets the age, citizenship, and residency requirements in the Constitution to qualify for the Senate. “Qualification” does not require state “certification,” the lawyers said.

To my knowledge, there hasn’t been any challenge of either candidates’ qualifications to sit as a United States Senator especially since both are current office holders in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. So an attempt to rush a bill to the floor of the Senate before Brown can be seated is not a viable plan for Democrats. They would still be at least 1 vote shy of cloture on a Compromise bill.

So budget reconciliation is not an option and rushing a compromise bill is equally non-viable. That only leaves passing the Senate bill in the House. But can it?

For those on the far left who want more than the Senate bill allows it may be a difficult pill to swallow. For those who have a pro-life constituency to answer to, it may be an even larger pill.

Rep. Bart Stupak (D MI-1) authored an amendment to the House bill which gained enough majority votes to pass their version of the bill. Remember, that bill very narrowly passed gaining only 2 votes over the required 218 for passage. Without a similar restriction on federal funding for abortion I doubt some who voted for the House bill based on inclusion of that amendment would be willing to vote for the Senate bill. And any changes to the Senate bill would have to be returned to the Senate as a compromise bill where 60 votes for cloture will not likely exist after today’s election.

We must also remember that all 435 members of the House of Representatives are up for re-election (or elections to fill vacancies created by retirements) this year. Each House member who votes for this bill will have the daunting task of facing his/her constituents about why he/she voted to pass a bill that a clear majority of this nation does not want. Many members will be thinking of their political futures before casting a vote on Death Care. A vote for passage of Death Care will forever be pinned to those who cast it and spell political suicide come November 4th in most cases.

The Democrat Caucus is already down by 1 vote with the defection of Rep. Parker Griffith (AL-5) to the Republican Party reducing the Democrat Caucus from a 40 vote majority to a 39 vote majority. Many more have chosen the path of retirement rather than the embarrassing thought of facing the voters of their district for helping to pass massive spending legislation in direct contrast to the wishes of the people of their districts.

What a conundrum for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Unless the House passes the Senate bill “as is” the Emperor’s 1st year in office will go down in history as an epic failure. But Nancy seems like she feels that she has the votes to pass the Senate bill in the House.

According to Alex Koppelman of the War Room hosted on the extremely liberal Salon.com…

Given what looks like the impending loss of the party’s Senate supermajority, Democrats have reason to be down in the dumps about healthcare reform. But if that’s the way House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s feeling, she’s not showing it publicly.

“Let’s remove all doubt, we will have healthcare one way or another,” Pelosi said during an event in San Francisco on Monday. “Certainly the dynamic would change depending on what happens in Massachusetts. Just the question about how we would proceed. But it doesn’t mean we won’t have a health care bill.”

Well let me be as equally clear as Ms. Pelosi has been. Should Scott Brown win today’s special election in Massachusetts, Pelosi will need to pass the Senate bill “AS IS” in the House to get her precious Death Care bill. Without it, Death Care is as dead as the Cap and Tax bill.

[UPDATE 1143]

Intrade’s latest numbers has Brown listed at 65.4 which means traders believe that he has a 65.4% chance of winning in today’s Special Election. Coakley conversely is down to 36.0. This doesn’t bode well for Coakley as Intrade is remarkably accurate.

[UPDATE 2 1151]

New numbers out of Intrade has Brown at 70.0 and Coakley at 30.0. It’s not looking good for the Lib-team.

[UPDATE 3 1335]

Newest numbers out of Intrade, Brown tops yesterday’s close of 77.1. Current numbers have Brown at 78.9 Coakley 21.0.

Brown Overtakes Coakley In Latest Polls

January 15, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, Elections, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, The First Amendment Comments Off

The NBC affiliate in Boston, WHDH7, is reporting that Brown is leading the race with 50% of the vote compared to Coakley’s 46%. Keep in mind that Independent Joe Kennedy [1] is also getting 3% in that poll with 1% undecided.

Our exclusive 7NEWS/Suffolk University Poll shows Brown, with 50%, in front of Coakley with 46%. Independent Joe Kennedy gets 3% and just 1% is still undecided.

How quickly has this race turned around?

In November, Coakley was beating Brown by 31 percentage points. Now, Brown is up by 4% — a change of 35% in two months.

Suffolk Poll University pollster David Paleologos said, “Here’s how the race breaks down. Scott Brown wins among men, Martha Coakley among women. Democrats: Coakley. Republicans and Independents: Brown, by a wide, wide margin.”

One reason for Coakley’s collapse is her performance in debates. Nearly half of likely voters say they’ve seen one and asked who won — 41% say Brown, 25% Coakley.

And Coakley is not being helped by her pledge to help pass the Democrat’s national health care bill. Fifty-one percent of likely voters here say no to it while 36% say yes. Sixty-one percent think Washington can’t afford it.

Another surprise — The Kennedy family’s endorsement may have actually hurt Coakley. With 27% said it makes them less likely to vote for her… 20% more likely.

The Associated Press is also reporting the same polling numbers.

Pajamas Media on the other hand is reporting that Brown is up by 15 points in their independent polling. [2]

According to Pajamas Correspondent Roger Simon…

A new poll taken Thursday evening for Pajamas Media by CrossTarget – an Alexandria VA survey research firm – shows Scott Brown, a Republican, leading Martha Coakley, a Democrat, by 15.4% in Tuesday’s special election for the open Massachusetts US Senate seat. The poll of 946 likely voters was conducted by telephone using interactive voice technology (IVR) and has a margin of error of +/- 3.19%.

Some latest comments from Coakley probably are not helping matters. An estimated 39% of Massachusetts voters are Roman Catholic and as a Catholic myself, I can tell you that there are certain matters of current social policy that are in violation of what the Church teaches. Issues such as artificial birth control and abortion are first and foremost in my mind. Enter Martha Coakley’s personal stupidity…

Responding to a question about hospital workers opting out of taking part in certain procedures or counseling on artificial birth control Coakley had this to say when asked on a local radio program aired on WBSM AM1420…

You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.

The fact remains that Coakley is not the eloquent speaker Barack Obama is. Nor does it appear that she has any couth. She has stated that she would be the 60th vote for cloture if elected on a bill that a clear majority of Massachusetts voters reject. She has effectively alienated 39% of the voters of her state with her comments about not working in emergency rooms if they want to have their religious freedoms; a move that is sure to cause her to molt another several percentage points. I’m sure the voters of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts don’t feel too at ease electing someone to the United States Senate who believes a person’s 1st Amendment freedom of religion is curtailed should they take a job working in a hospital’s emergency room.

As for the Emperor’s planned appearance on Sunday? Go for it Barry! I doubt you can help at this point. Another failure will show just how much weight your coat-tails are worth.

Making an appearance on a Sunday is risky enough. But the Sunday before Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which happens to be the Sunday the NFL Divisional Playoff games are being held? Not a wise idea in my opinion. He failed in Copenhagen in his attempt to influence the International Olympic Committee to bring the games to Chicago. He failed in Copenhagen during a second trip to get an agreement on Global Warming. His economic policies are being proven every day to be a continuing failure. His Death Care bill is in danger of failure. Cap and Trade is on hold. The Porkulus which was supposed to keep unemployment from topping 8% allowed unemployment to top 10%. Nothing this guy has done, with the exception of his election, has succeeded.

So, GO FOR IT BARRY!

Death Care Bill On Life Support?

January 13, 2010 Death Care, Democrat In-Fighting, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Health Care, News, Opinion, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Stupidity, U.S. House, US Senate Comments Off

Both Congressional bodies passed bills independent of each other that include two different and massively expensive approaches on how to implement the President’s Death Care plan. With only gaining 1 Republican vote in the House and no Republican support in the Senate, the Death Care bill is a completely Democrat show. The hold-up with the bill is within the Democrat Party. It is the Dems that can’t reconcile on the best way to implement a bill the Republicans cannot block on their own.

It goes without saying that any significant deviation from the Senate bill will result in a deadlock in the Senate. A cloture vote will not happen. Without a significant deviation from the Senate bill, the egomaniacs in the House leadership will not be able to muster the required 218 votes for passage; especially as more and more House members see in this bill the road to early retirement.

There have already been several announcements declaring retirement in lieu of re-election efforts. One Congressman, Rep. Parker Griffith (AL-5), has even left the Democrat Party and is now aligning himself with the GOP. Still more are facing almost certain defeat on November 4th because of their support of massive spending bills in a recession that seems only to be getting deeper.

Voters see this as a political quagmire. The die hard leftists in the House won’t vote on any bill not including a public option, whereas the Senate can’t achieve cloture on anything that includes a public option. There are major differences in each bill on how to fund them. The Senate bill would tax so-called “Cadillac” health plans at a rate of 40% which would be a blow to the middle class. Many union members have these so-called “Cadillac” plans. House members see this as an affront to their political base.

The House bill, on the other hand, proposes to pay for itself by taxing millionaires. This sentiment is popular with the dregs of society who don’t realize that this is the very group of people who create jobs…but then again most of the public that supports this fiasco don’t want to work to begin with.

Both bills require health coverage of all Americans and include a system of fines for not carrying coverage. This issue has prompted many to discuss the Constitutional implications of the bills. Let us not forget this: nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government granted the responsibility of overseeing the health care industry. The mere discussion of these bills in itself is a violation of the 10th Amendment.

Some in the House are claiming, as Rep. Anthony Weiner (D NY-9) has, that negotiating with the Senate is like negotiating with a gun to their heads. Good. I love the in-fighting. It gives me hope that this POS bill will ultimately fail.

Another problem for the Emperor is that the further we get into 2010, many House members will be less willing to stick their necks out for this plan. This is especially true if the possibility of failure in the Senate exists. If House members stick their necks out and Reid fails to get the 60 votes required for cloture, the Death Care bill will die on the table and flat-line the careers of House members who support it. Because if it should die on the table in the Senate, House members who supported the bill in the House will have sacrificed their political careers for nothing. Make no mistake, support of the Death Care bill will mean the death of many a political career.

Compounding the problems for the Emperor is the fact that the Secretary of State of Massachusetts cannot stall certification of Scott Brown’s victory (assuming he wins next Tuesday) indefinitely. If the House and Senate are going to act, they will need to act quickly or Brown’s ‘NO’ vote will definitely table the bill in the Senate no matter what they come up with.

The best thing for this nation is for them to do nothing at this point. With this Congress, they are doing their best work when they are on recess. It appears to me that unless they get this done now, it won’t get done and a lame duck session of Congress will begin early. If this should happen, this Congress will be hitting their stride.

24 Dem Targets For November 2010

November 19, 2009 Announcements., Death Care, Elections, GOP/RNC, Health Care, News, The Economy, U.S. House Comments Off

The Republican Congressional Campaign Committee has identified 24 Democrat House members who voted for passage of the Pelosi Death Care bill and is targeting those 24 Democrats for defeat in November 2010. The RCCC has set-up a website called Reverse the Vote! to raise money for a war chest specifically aimed at defeating these 24 individuals who voted for the Pelosi bill in opposition to the will of their constituencies.

The list of 24 includes…

Rep. Berry (D AR-01)
Rep. Snyder (D AR-02).
Rep. Giffords (D AZ-08).
Rep. Salazar (D CO-03).
Rep. Bean (D IL-08)
Rep. Foster (D IL-14)
Rep. Donnelly (D IN-02)
Rep. Hill (D IN-09)
Rep. Carnahan (D MO-03)
Rep. Titus (D NV-03)
Rep. Shea-Porter (D NH-01)
Rep. Arcuri (D NY-24)
Rep. Bishop (D NY-21)
Rep. Hall (D NY-19)
Rep. Owens (D NY-23)
Rep. Driehaus (D OH-01)
Rep. Kilroy (D OH-15)
Rep. Space (D OH-18)
Rep. Schrader (D OR-05)
Rep. Dahlkemper (D PA-03)
Rep. Kanjorski (D PA-11)
Rep. Connolly (D VA-11)
Rep. Kagen (D WI-08)

Every dollar raised by Reverse the Vote! will be split 24 ways and used to defeat these 24 Democrats in the general election. Not one dime will be used in the primaries.

The hope is that these 24 individuals will see that the Republicans are taking a pro-active step to build a war chest to remove them from office and decide to not support the Death Care bill when it makes its return from Conference.

So if you have the means, please consider contributing whatever you feel most comfortable to Reverse the Vote! and help take back this country.

You have your freedom

Cross-Posted FROM Kender’s Musings

You have your freedom says Uncle Sam
to do as you are told
From where to drive to where to park
and how you can grow old
We regulate the food you eat
how you can live and die
And go to school and congregate,
the waters and the sky
We have the best in mind for you
we know what’s good in life
The huddled masses have no clue
so let us end your strife
We’ll hand out things like free health care,
education and job training
We’ll even give out umber-ella’s
for days that it is raining
We know the things we legislate
aren’t in the constitution
But all our plans to keep you well
will soon come to fruition
When BHO is sitting in
the Not so White House Chair
He’ll mandate things that take away
those pesky little layers
Of freedom that you still possess
to do things as you please
And we will own your unwashed ass
from birth to death you see
We hate to do it that’s for sure
it’s lot of work for us
To ride in limo’s telling you
to just go ride the bus
But you must listen to our rules
our laws and edicts too
Our regulations and the drivel
which we always spew
We know what’s best so just shut up
and go with our big plan
To give you everything you need
from our abundant land
The taxes that you pay today
will feed you on the morrow
You’ll feel a great relief you see
and not one bit of sorrow
Freedom’s over rated now
so do us all a favor
Quit complaining that we steal
the fruits of all your labor
If we don’t take away the cash
you work so hard to get
How can we take care of all
the hordes of lazy shits
Who vote for us and sit around
Collecting welfare money
We think your stingy attitude
is not one damned bit funny
So vote for us at election time
we know just where it’s at
We are freedoms worst nightmare

Obama’s Plea: ‘Don’t Vote Because She’s Cute’

September 19, 2008 Barack Hussein Obama, Election 2008, John McCain, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, Sarah Palin, Stupidity, The Scourge of Racism Comments Off

This was the feeble attempt by Michelle Obama to convince voters that they shouldn’t vote for McCain/Palin but rather Obama/Biden. Her theory? That the Obama ticket actually owns the issues and the McCain ticket only has a pretty face. Or at least that was the intent of the veiled warning.

In fairness, Obama covered her words by stating that she was referring to herself but as we all know, she’s not all that good looking to begin with, so I don’t see anything resembling the truth in her cover. But knowing that she meant to instruct voters that they should not vote for McCain/Palin because she’s cute, that also means that voters shouldn’t vote for Barack Hussein Obama simply because he’s black. Truth be told, and it has by many on the left as well as the right, the only reason why BO is where he is – is because he’s black. He is unqualified for the position that he seeks and those who are willing to leave history and race out of this election know this fact.

The leftards* of this country are willing to put “historical nature” or some twisted sense of reparations ahead of the good of the nation. We’ve seen in the past where this has led to terrible consequences. For instance, the historical nature of John F. Kennedy’s election.

Kennedy is the man who first sent troops into South Vietnam. A fact that is often overlooked by the Camelot dreamers left over from the 1960s. His assassination led to the ascension of Lyndon Johnson to the Presidency, Johnson’s escalation of the Vietnam Conflict, the fragmentation of the country because of the Conflict, AND the Great Society. Failure, Failure, Failure, and Failure. All because history needed a Catholic to be elected President. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.

Now we have threats of race wars if we don’t elect Barack. Anyone who doesn’t vote for Barack is already being referred to as racist. This nation is going to be torn apart along racial lines because a grossly unqualified black man got himself nominated by the Party of feelings.

On November 4th, the nation will go to the polls and make a decision in the question who is most qualified to lead this nation for the next 4 years. So let’s take Michelle’s advice and not vote because she’s cute, but let’s also not vote because he’s black. Voting for Barack because he’s black is racist. Not the other way around as others have suggested. And anyone who encourages race wars if Obama isn’t elected, Fatimah Ali, are more interested in dividing this nation along racial lines than electing anyone to the Presidency.

It seems to me that if the African-American community fails to accept the loss of Barack Hussein Obama in a civil manner, then perhaps this nation is not ready for an African-American as President. Threats cannot determine the outcome of this election. For if they do the nation cannot survive.

And that’s the truth…

An Aussie’s message to his American friends

September 4, 2008 Election 2008, Opinion, Presidential Candidates Comments Off

For months I have seen the concerns and the issues you have raised.

Taxes,
Housing.
Jobs.
Military.
Spending.
Your rights.
Free speech.
Guns.

Well, ladies and gents, in November it’ll be time for you to make your
choices. Some of you have said you wont vote..or haven’t decided to yet.

Okay.

I am telling you right now that if you don’t… expect to be called on it for
four long years.

I don’t care who you vote for…that’s your business. But if you want to see
Obama defeated…if you want to see him and Biden humiliated…then get up off
your backsides and VOTE.

“But I only have one vote”

You and another, and another, and another, make a few, then ten, then
twenty, then a hundred then a thousand..and pretty soon that real
conservative that didn’t seem to have a chance is all of a sudden busy
planning his next few years in office because a bunch of people decided to
exercise their franchise and get what they wanted and deserved..a government
for the people, of the people and …by GOD, BY the people…

[Oi...no channeling Lincoln on company time - Ed]

You, your friends, your family, your neighbours, your work colleagues, your
schoolmates….NOW is the time. Australia has on an average, a 97 percent
turnout for all elections.

NINETY SEVEN PERCENT.

Now it’s your turn.

In November, you will have the chance to stop the Obamessiah™ forever, and
your weapon of choice???….will be the “silver ballot”.

Battles are won by those that show up.

Be there.

Vote.

Or be left behind.

Populism’s Ability To Destroy What It Makes

January 27, 2010

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 [...]

You have your freedom

October 29, 2008

Cross-Posted FROM Kender’s Musings
You have your freedom says Uncle Sam
to do as you are told
From where to drive to where to park
and how you can grow old
We regulate the food you eat
how you can live and die
And go to school and congregate,
the waters and the sky
We have the best in mind for you
we know what’s [...]
