The Democrat House is looking for an end run to pick up a few more Democrat seats in the House and 2 Senators in the Senate. They know they’re going to lose big in the 2010 elections so they’ve got to think of some trick to gain seats. They’ve got a new and convoluted plan to try and pull the wool over those supposedly naive Puerto Ricans!

From The Washington Times: Puerto Rican Run

Rigging an election is nice work if you can pull it off. That’s what the Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives appears to be trying to do as it votes next week on the misleadingly named Puerto Rico Democracy Act, which is designed to confer statehood on the island commonwealth by hook or crook. The bill is wrongheaded on so many levels that opponents in the Senate ought to filibuster it to death if it passes the House, as expected.

The Dem’s subterfuge with this is twisted and deliberately obtuse enough to fool voters in Puerto Rico. Continue reading….

Puerto Rico, statehood, Democrats

Wow, but isn’t this appropriate! I got this in an email from a friend so I don’t know the original source for the image.

Most people don’t understand or try to calculate what their withholding tax exemption should be to pay the least amount to the Federal Government.  This is going to come as sneaky and stealth tax courtesy of the Democrat run Congress. It’s always been something I don’t understand about people. You don’t use payroll withholding as a way to save money in the form of a refund check.

This story started out because of letter military retirees received:

NO ANNUAL COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA) WILL BE ADDED TO MILITARY RETIRED PAY IN 2010.

DUE TO RECENT LEGISLATION YOUR FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAX HAS CHANGED.

Turns out this doesn’t just apply to military retiree pay, it applies to all taxpayers.  Another thing to note for military veterans who use the VA in lieu of insurance. The new healthcare legislation is not going to allow you to go without insurance, using the VA doesn’t qualify as insurance so you’ll either HAVE to buy insurance or be fined by Big Brother’s police arm, the IRS. Get ready to assume the position.

Remember, this is coming from the party of Democrat legislators who don’t think they need to pay income taxes. Can you say Charley Rangel, Chris Dodd, Tim “the tax cheat” Geithner, Tom Daschel and the list goes on for Democrat tax cheats. But they want YOU to pay.

Go get the details of the Withholding tax table changes at Big Government – Congress Tinkers with Withholding Tax Tables for 2010

The trick, when looking at the new withholding tax tables for 2010 as compared to post-stimulus 2009, buries an increase in federal withholding taxes–for all income categories–basically giving the government an interest-free loan until current year taxes are filed next year. Some would blame the increase in withholding on the Making Work Pay tax credit being spread out over 12 months as compared to 2009, which was only over 9 months, but this would be impossible as some middle class wage categories carry an increase in the withholding tax of over $200 per pay period.

Consider that the Townhallers and the Tea Partiers have been called everything from Nazis to birthers and fanatics – the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, and ask yourself if you feel “represented” by the people running our country. Consider the backroom deals and greased palms and the souls being sold to garner Federal funds for their home states, even if it means killing a few babies along the way, and ask yourself if these are the sorts of people that make you proud to be an American.

Harry Reid comes out asking for civility in the Senate after he accuses Republicans of killing Americans and Whitehouse (D-RI)does his rant of name calling. And what does the GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell do? He doesn’t come out and tell Reid to start the civility himself or quote some of the recent hysterical comments made by Democrats. No, he comes out and passively talks about how they are all working together. It’s no wonder the Democrats have pushed this through, with GOP leadership like this?  And Lamar Alexander is an even bigger milktoast than McConnell.

The only civility existing in the Senate is with the GOP. Stop with the civility. It’s too late to fight this monster since the GOP never did find it’s spine to fight. If it weren’t for Sen. Jim Demint the Senate GOP would be no different than a jellyfish.

Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Lamar Alexander, senate healthcare fight

Erick at Redstate tells us about a provision which Reid has added which will require a super majority vote to repeal this web of mandates and bureaucracies. We also find out from Sen. Jim Demint that a section in the bill which says ‘rule change’ doesn’t really mean that, it means ‘procedural change’. Kind of like the definition of the word ‘is’.

DEMINT: But, Mr. President, as the chair has confirmed, Rule 22, paragraph 2, of the standing rules of the Senate, states that on a measure or motion to amend the Senate rules, the necessary affirmative vote shall be two-thirds of the senators present and voting. Let me go to the bill before us, because buried deep within the over 2,000 pages of this bill, we find a rather substantial change to the standing rules of the Senate. It is section 3403 and it begins on page 1,000 of the Reid substitute. . . . These provisions not only amend certain rules, they waive certain rules and create entirely new rules out of whole cloth.”

The Senate President disagreed.

DEMINT: and so the language you see in this bill that specifically refers to a change in a rule is not a rule change, it’s a procedure change?

THE PRESIDING OFFICER: that is correct.

DEMINT: then i guess our rules mean nothing, do they, if they can re define them. thank you. and i do yield back.

And this people of the U.S. is what happens when you have the Marxists in charge.

Healthcare, Obamacare, Rules of the Senate

You didn’t really think they were going to vote on principle or something so simple minded as that did you? Aside from the fact that this was never about healthcare or healthcare insurance. It’s about money, power and control of the Americans. It’s about taking away American liberty and freedom.

Just remember in November of 2010, that all 60 Democrat senators voted to pass healthcare legislation that starts to tax in 2010 yet the actual “healthcare” doesn’t start until 2014. These Democrat Senators voted for cloture which required every single one of them to vote yes in order to push this bill down the road where a final 51 votes will only be required. So…….

They voted FOR this healthcare travesty BEFORE THEY VOTED AGAINST IT! And they were all bribed in some form or another along the way.

The Democrats best friend George Soros and Peter Lewis (Progressive Insurance) have been so successful at stealing elections they’re going to see what other states they can pollute with their voter fraud electoral victories.

We saw Minnesota become the last victim with the Al Franken victory in 2008.

Soros Eyes Secretaries from Matthew Vadum at The American Spectator.

A group backed by Soros is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for President Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation. From such posts, secretaries of state can help tilt the electoral playing field.

This is, of course, the same Soros, the same hyperpolitical left-wing philanthropist who makes no secret of his intention to destroy capitalism.

snip….The vehicle for this planned hijacking of democracy is a below-the-radar non-federal “527″ group called the Secretary of State Project. The entity can accept unlimited financial contributions and doesn’t have to disclose them publicly until well after the election.

It was revealed during a panel discussion at the Democratic Party’s convention last year that the Democracy Alliance, a financial clearinghouse created by Soros and Progressive insurance magnate Peter B. Lewis, approved the Secretary of State Project as a grantee.

snip…At the top of the SoS Project’s slate of candidates for state-level secretary of state positions in 2010 is Minnesota’s radically left-wing Mark Ritchie, a former community organizer whose cavalier attitude toward electoral fraud and whose shamelessly partisan conduct during the recount process cleared the way for Al Franken to steal last year’s U.S. Senate election from then-Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.). Ritchie was first elected Minnesota secretary of state in 2006. Franken and Obama, by the way, were endorsed last year by ACORN Votes, ACORN’s federal political action committee.
