Apparently Congress and the President have made a grave error.
Or maybe the objective is to bankrupt this nation.
Apparently they are doing a great job at the latter.
In fact that is about the only thing they have successfully done in the past 10 years.

We have lost billions fighting a war in Iraq and further billions in Afganistan.
The threat of cap and tax, higher income taxes, Obamacare and the willingness of the feds take over banks at the drop of a hat has new business upstart and expansion frozen.
Yesterday the unemployment figures were announced.
Unemployment is back up to 9.6% and we had a loss of 54,000 jobs in August.

It is no shock that Obama’s rating is dropping.
CLEARLY NOT ALL OF THE PEOPLE ARE STUPID ALL OF THE TIME.

Someone just sent this my way and I had to share it.
I fully believe the cartoon above to be true.

While I am at it I might as well comment on the Glenn Beck gathering of 8/28.

You know the one about every progressive/liberal main stream media WINGNUT maligned AS racial, bigoted, crazy white people ad nausium?

Well all of those who comented INCLUDING Al Sharpton who made a total asshole (again) of himself by trying to worm out of what he said on the Bill OReilly show Monday nite.

Oh my GOD! This guy has been a disgrace for all blacks since Tawana Brawley.
Who on earth puts any stock in ANYTHING he says anymore?

There is nothing more to be said but bless this woman

The least of BAD!

Apparently the Republicans and Democrats are in the same boat.
THEY DON’T GET IT!

The public is tired of having to choose between equally incompetent politicians on a vote.

This just happened in Arizona with McCain coming out smelling like a rose (HE THINKS … THE REPUBLICANS THINK). What we the people UNDERSTAND is again we are cheated with someone who is half-assed. This is simply another half-assed Republican willing to shift to ANY SPEECH that he can con the public with for a vote. We the people are suppose to believe all of a sudden McCain has changed his mind on the border situation?

Arizona was faced with a flaming liberal on one hand and someone ethics-deprived on the other.

This was another NO WIN for the public.

CAUGHT AGAIN!

Darrell Issa’s office (congressman serving California’s 49th district) issued a scathing Republican oversight report charging the Obama White House has “used the machinery of the Obama campaign to tout the President’s agenda through inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives.”

WOW! That’s a surprise isn’t it?
We have Obama groomed under the ever CORRUPT Chicago Political Machine doing something inappropriate or illegal?
The same corrupt Chicago political machine that produced a governor that was caught selling the Obama vacated Senate seat?
I can not remember a time in history when Chicago politics were NOT considered corrupt by the public.

The really irky thing about this situation is stimulus signs posted by DOT (Department of Transportation) can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to as much as $10,000 for a sign posted at Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C.

Issa has called for a Government Accountability Office investigation into the legality of the Obama administration’s use of taxpayer funds to conduct “a propaganda effort” to promote the president’s partisan agenda.

We saw Obama spend most of his past stint in the Senate to campaign for President on the public dime. Now we are also being required to pay for his bid for reelection?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

In response to Issa … Calvin L. Scovel III, the inspector general at DOT, made clear that DOT has agreed not to require ARRA signs to be posted. Instead they will just “encourage” that they be posted.

Does that come with a hidden “if you don’t that will be the end of your future jobs”?
More than likely.
After all that is the CHICAGO WAY.

Why on earth would Obama roll into the muck of this skirmish like a Sherman tank when it was ABSOLUTLY NOT NECESSARY?

After the shock wore off it caused jaws to drop and heads to be scratches on both sides of the political isle.
Has he lost his mind?
What can he be thinking?
Perhaps he needs a hearing aid because clearly he CAN NOT HEAR/OR DOES NOT CARE what “we the people” think.
Two-thirds of all Americans oppose the mosque and Arizona’s immigration law.
To Bad!

This guys antics actually make me laugh out loud.
He is like some jokester who daily shoots himself in the foot.
I honestly have difficulty trying to wrap my mind around the behavior of someone who is so POLITICALLY STUPID. Apparently I am not the only one because O’Reilly is trying to figure out the same thing.
We all thought Biden needed a keeper?

Perhaps the dawn is beginning to set in on the whole thing.
Obama signed on for a 4 year joy ride?
Live and be happy at the tax payers expense?
Doesn’t matter what happens to the nation in the process?
He has already made connections and enough money to set him for life?

SCREW THE USA!

The antics of Pelosi, Reid and Obama have backed the Democrats into a corner.

They foolishly miscalculated the ire of the public who has been daily maligned by not only the media but Congress and Obama & crew.

The public is tired of the racial bullshit that crops up EVERYDAY.
They are tired of being ignored, of the debt being heaped on the young, and the bailout for those companies that are to big to fail.
The working class (the real majority of all persuasions) have been yanked to their feet and are ready to march on Washington.

It looks like the fools who ignored all of this will soon have their walking papers.
Good riddance.

So where should the Democrats put their campaign money?
Who will they try and save?
What desperate attempts will they make to save the 39 seats that hang by a thread?
Clearly they are stuck in a double bind.

It’s called “damned if you do and damned if you don’t”.

Daily it becomes more evident that Mainstream Media has shot itself in the foot again. To most of the nation it is clear if you CHOOSE NOT TO live in a fantasy world you better get your news elsewhere.

Their ratings have plummeted and most are on the verge of bankruptcy if they have not already bobbed for the last time. Those in high places at these companies have failed to realize one very important thing.
WHEN THE MASS gives up on you for whatever reason they DO NOT return.
It was a mistake for them to assume distortions and flat out lies would fly forever.

Out of the news rubble emerges the internet and the latest electronic technology.
An angry revved up public with video phones/cameras and the KNOW HOW to catch EVERYTHING on disc, then PUBLISH it.

Funny thing about that stuff published on the internet.
Once there it most likely will be there FOREVER. Tucked away in some obscure ether corner until GOOGLE dredges it up for the billionth time.

A contract with America for 2010
By Dick Morris

My observations from the campaign trail are that this year’s elections will be a total and complete disaster for the Democratic Party. In fact, it will amount to the obliteration of an entire generation of Democratic officeholders. It will become very rare to find a youngish baby boomer white Democrat in elective office in the United States. I believe that almost half of the white Democratic congressmen who are seeking reelection will lose!

A wipeout of this magnitude cannot be explained, alone, by Obama’s ratings or his policies. He has fallen sharply since he took office, but even ratings in the 40s do not explain this type of result. It is increasingly obvious that Congress has earned much of this disaster by itself, quite unrelated to Obama. The vision of the deal-making that accompanied healthcare was too disgusting for the average American to stomach. And now the failure of the Congress to expel Reps. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) underscores its inability to police itself.

But Republicans need to remember that when they lost the House in 2006, about 5 percent of their incumbents were under indictment, convicted or in prison, or resigned. Washington has always been the crime capital of America, but the House of Representatives was its highest crime-rate neighborhood!

Republicans should embrace specific ethical reforms, which they should showcase in their campaign advertising in 2010. These positive ads will do as much as any good negative to underscore the difference between a Republican challenger and a Democratic incumbent.

The reforms should include:

• The establishment of an office of special prosecutor for Congress, with its head appointed by the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court for a fixed term. The office should have subpoena power, a well-funded staff and the right to convene grand juries and issue indictments. Self-policing by ethics committees obviously does not work.

• All earmarking should be banned. Congress cannot be trusted with this power.

• A ban on spouses of members of Congress serving on boards or accepting employment by any company or organization that receives federal funds. In cases like Mrs. Chris Dodd and Mrs. Evan Bayh, corporate board employment was a way for special interests to influence their husbands and pad the family checkbook.

• A ban on families of members of Congress serving as lobbyists.

• No free travel, whether sponsored by foundations or lobbyists. Only government trips on official business — real business — should be allowed.

• Full disclosure of the precise amounts of members’ net worth, debts, investments and holdings, including home mortgages.

•Full publication, online, of all committee votes.

• No student loan repayments for congressional staffers.

• A five-year ban on lobbying for members of Congress or their staffs after leaving office. The ban should also apply to employment by a company that performs lobbying services.

• If a senator or congressman is absent more than 10 percent of the time for reasons other than illness — including running for president — his pay should be docked proportionately.

• Term limits for congressional staffers. No staff member of Congress should be permitted to serve in a job that pays above $100,000 a year for more than eight years. If we can’t get term limits for Congress, let’s at least clean out the professional staffers!

A smart candidate in 2010 will take elements of these proposals — particularly the special prosecutor — and put them in his or her campaign ads. Cashing in on Obama’s unpopularity and his failed agenda is only half the battle. Capitalizing on the dismal state of congressional ethics is the other part!
