Tickle Me Nancy!

Eric Massa, Democratic Representative from New York, resigns from Congress. First he said he would leave at the end of his term. Then he said he would leave now. The reason was due to reoccurrence of cancer. Then it was that Democrats forced him out due to his non-support of Obama’s health care agenda. Now, there are rumors of his inappropriate sexual conduct during a ‘tickle’ fest at his 50th birthday party. What a circus.
But now it seems old Nancy Pelosi has ‘got some splainnin to do’. Miss “clean up the swamp” Pelosi not only finds herself standing in the swamp, but she’s up to her neck in it. Democrats were all high and mighty over a Republican, Mark Foley, back in 2006, who, if you don’t remember, allegedly sent emails and instant messages to current and former underage male congressional pages. And while the investigation was eventually dropped in 2008 due to insufficient evidence, Democrats used the incident to disgrace Majority Leader Dennis Hastert stating he knew about Foley’s conduct months prior to the scandal breaking in the news, but took no action.
But now the tables have turned. It has now it has come out that Nancy Pelosi’s staff was informed about Massa’s transgressions back in October of last year – and did nothing about it. And of course, Nancy threw her staff ‘under the bus’ in a news conference stating they never told her.
Normally, Democrats would expect everyone to get on board the liberal ‘free pass’ train, but this time, they tried to eat their own as Massa has not gone away quietly – and now it is backfiring on them. Well, tickle me…

Your Tax Dollars at Work

Short note tonight. Just wanted to say I got a letter from the Census Bureau today telling me in a week I will be receiving a letter from the Census Bureau.

No one should wonder why taxes are so high.

Charlie gets a "Time Out"

Charlie Rangel cheats on his taxes. The Chairman of the Ways and Means commission, which writes tax law, does not live by the laws he writes. A classic case of “Do as I say, Not as I do”.

You would think the leader of the House of Representatives would want to get to the bottom of any alleged corruption by our elected officials. But not the case. Why? Well, its because Charlie Rangel is a liberal Democrat, like their leader in the House, Nancy Pelosi.

So what did Nancy do? She gave Charlie a ‘Time Out’. Like a teacher would give a naughty student. Charlie is taking a "leave of absence" while his alleged tax issues are investigated. How convenient.

Convenient as it gets Charlie off of the front page. Convenient as Nancy and her socialist crew are trying to cram Obamacare down our throats. Convenient as it sweeps under the rug the embarrassment Charlie has caused an administration still looking for its first accomplishment.

So here again, is a glaring example of the double standard demonstrated by Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. Had Charlie been a Republican, Nancy would have already had him in front of a firing squad. But because Charlie is a liberal Democrat, he gets the usual “Free Pass”.

Bend Over America!

Get ready. President Obama and the Democrats are about to shove the nuclear option up our collective rectums to pass their version of health care. And when this nuclear device goes off, it will be the launching board for Socialism in our country. The Dog and Pony show President Obama had this week by inviting Republicans to a so called “Heath Care Summit” was only the eye wash to create the appearance that the President and his comrades actually gave a damn what the Republicans or for that fact, the American public want. Overwhelmingly, the American public is against President Obama’s government takeover of health care. But, showing his typical liberal arrogance, he was condescending to anyone who dare criticize the Socialist Party line. This was evidenced by his comment that the “campaign is over” to Senator John Mc Cain when the Senator asked why congressional negotiations were not ‘transparent’ as candidate Barack Obama had promised. The President’s closing statement at the health care summit made it very clear that he and the Democrats plan on pressing ahead with the nuclear option to pass their plan with 51 votes in the Senate, regardless of what Americans want or need.
It's pretty obvious the President and the Democrats have totally lost touch with the fact that they work of us, the American people. I’ve said it before, but November can’t get her soon enough.

Talk to the Hand

I was amazed when I saw CNN’s report on Sarah Palin’s appearance at the Tea Party convention. They concentrated on the fact that she had written some notes on the palm of her hand - and went on to criticize her for doing so saying this “notes in the hand” story would overshadow anything she had to say at the convention. What wishful thinking on CNN’s part. Obviously, their leftist slant on this story was a response to the criticism “their guy” in the White House had taken over his extensive use of a teleprompter and the “gaffs” he commits without one.
Let me state CNN has ‘acted stupidly’ in the way they reported this story. First, Sarah Palin isn’t the President. Nor is she even running for any elected office. She was giving a prepared speech to an audience of people with similar views. There was nothing that said she could not use notes to give the speech.
Furthermore, was CNN so naïve to think that someone wouldn’t find a prominent Democrat who did the same thing? It was a matter of days before it was reported that Diane Feinstein had done the very same thing during a 1990 debate - but in this case, it was expressly forbidden by the rules of the debate to do so.
Again, the double standard against conservatives lives on at CNN - but this time, they have some liberal egg in their faces.

President Huggy Bear

What a difference a year makes. When newly elected President Obama and his socialist comrades assumed power in 2009, they had their own agenda, and a ‘supermajority’ in Congress to pass their legislation. And when the Republican minority objected to their proposed changes in heath care, pork laden TARP legislation, and other redistribution of wealth programs, Republicans were basically told to shut the hell up and go away.
Turn the clock forward to 2010. Democratic losses in Virginia, New Jersey, and the biggest shocker, the loss of a Senate seat in Massachusetts. A growing number of incumbent democrats in congress start announcing they won’t be running for re-election to prevent the embarrassment of getting hammered in the November elections. All the sudden, the Administration has started using words like “bipartisan” and “reaching across the aisle”.
President Obama is now all warm and fuzzy towards the opposition party. So I’m calling him the new Huggy Bear president. He’s realized he just can’t crap all over Republicans anymore. He may just need them to pass any kind of health care legislation - so now on February 25, he is inviting 21 congressional leaders, both Democrat and Republican, to the Blair House in Washington to have a Health Care Summit. Supposedly to listen to Republican ideas on heath care. What Obama and his supermajority in Congress could not get done is over a year, he will now fix in a half day conference.
Don’t kid yourself - this “love fest” is eye wash. The Democrats know they are in trouble. They need to make the appearance that they want to work with Republicans - but truth is, they have no intention of doing so. Their liberal arrogance won’t allow it. So just remember, behind that huggy bear persona lies the face of a hard core liberal.

Greed is Good

Damn right it is. Gordon Gekko had it right. Greed, better defined as the pursuit of profit, is the foundation of Capitalism. It’s why people get up and go to work every day. People want stuff. Stuff costs money. People work to obtain money to buy stuff. This concept isn’t rocket science.
But liberals feel greed is bad. It’s evil. The people who have succeeded financially in this country are the evil rich – and they should be punished through higher taxes and fees. Income taxes for the top bracket up to 50% -- half of what you make goes directly to the government. Imagine if 50 cents of every dollar in your paycheck went directly to the government. It would probably piss you off.
But it’s an easy sell for liberals to preach they won’t raise taxes on you, just on those evil rich people. Liberals tap into that little voice that tells you to key the paint on that new Mercedes you just parked beside in a parking lot because you can afford one. Liberals want you to believe anyone that is rich certainly didn’t work for their money – they had to become rich by screwing the “working men and women” of America. Do you follow that? Working men and women aren’t rich – they are the common people that need the protection of liberals – from the evil rich (who don’t work).
Truth is greed built this country. The basis of America’s economic growth is Capitalism. But, this flies in the face of our current administration’s socialist agenda – which explains why they demonize Wall Street – the biggest symbol of capitalism in the world. They need to create a devil to deflect the anger Americans feel over the administration’s failed policies.
As one of America’s greatest Presidents said, Government is not the answer, government is the problem. And this government is a problem. November couldn’t get here soon enough.
