Sounds like Rep Stupak (D-MI) was playing everone along this whole time

Wow, this guy is really a master of deception but he told everyone the truth back in October of 2009. Was he just looking for a sense of importance and entitlement this whole time?

Dem Congressman: “If you don’t tie our hands, we will keep stealing”

This is a story from Real Clear Politics with video showing Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA) saying this.

They aren’t JUST stealing taxpayer dollars but they are stealing our freedom and liberty and they don’t give a crap. The subterfuge and illusion of what all the Democrats are doing is finally going viral and those Americans who lived their lives thinking they didn’t need to pay attention to the politicians have awaken.

To the Lincoln Davis’(TN D-4) and Colin Peterson’s (MN D-7) you have fooled NO ONE by your vote to pass the self executing Slaughter Rule yet telling anyone who calls your office that you will be voting no to Obamacare. You are no better than the scum sucking bribery infested Bart Gordon or Jim Oberstar.

Americans are angry and they are now targeting more than just YOU, they are going after any Democrat elected official whether they be a county commissioner, mayor or state official. You all will be targeted to boot out of office.

Why Obama Can’t Move Polling Numbers on HealthCare

Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen wrote this editorial in the WSJ Online today.

Why Obama Can’t Move the Health-Care Numbers

Why can’t the president move the numbers? One reason may be that he keeps talking about details of the proposal while voters are looking at the issue in a broader context. Polling conducted earlier this week shows that 57% of voters believe that passage of the legislation would hurt the economy, while only 25% believe it would help. That makes sense in a nation where most voters believe that increases in government spending are bad for the economy.

snip….But the bigger problem is that people simply don’t trust the official projections. People in Washington may live and die by the pronouncements of the Congressional Budget Office, but 81% of voters say it’s likely the plan will end up costing more than projected. Only 10% say the official numbers are likely to be on target.

As a result, 66% of voters believe passage of the president’s plan will lead to higher deficits and 78% say it’s at least somewhat likely to mean higher middle-class taxes. Even within the president’s own political party there are concerns on these fronts.

What happens to a ‘fanatic type’ narcissist when denied?

James Lewis at American Thinker writes about Obama’s Malignant Narcissism and what happens if Obama is not successful with his drive to force his ‘universal’ heathcare down our throats. He also explains how intelligence agencies across the world are studying Obama’s reaction and performance from last weeks healthcare show.

By choosing the “nuclear option” Obama is demonstrating do-or-die fanaticism. This makes for great TV football, but it’s very dangerous for the man in the biggest power seat in the world. We are seeing Obama the Radical taking over from Obama the Pragmatist — if that one ever really existed. From what we know about his fanatical associates like Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, sacrificing the Democratic Party majority in Congress would be only a small price to pay.

The biggest question is what real damage Obama may do to the country. This man has been entrusted with the greatest power in the world. He will have those powers for the next three years at least.

But he may not be able to emotionally tolerate any real limits on his need for self-aggrandizement and power. And still he can’t be allowed to beat the country into submission.

Must read!

Citizens Quitting Obama and AARP: Letter of the Year

What a letter to AARP and in substance to Obama. This is what happens when you have a President who speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

Dear Mr. Rand,

Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you. Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.

While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse it’s abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy, which spawned our 200 years of government.

Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of belonging, which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama administration and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest there!

We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership. There are numerous other organizations, which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities.

This Presidential Administration scares the living daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage. But even more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic. I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them. I don’t have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist mindset in power. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires.

Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING? Someone has broken into our ‘house’, invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep the perpetrator in comfort and learn the perp language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.

I DON’T choose to welcome them.

I DON’T choose to support them.

I DON’T choose to educate them.

I DON’T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing. American home invaders get arrested.

Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get?

Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to break & enter to be welcomed?

We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current administration. One of us is out of touch with mainstream America. Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than one which is power driven.

We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will encourage them to do the same. With several hundred in my address book, I have every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible
statement to you.

I am disappointed as hell.
I am scared as hell.
I am MAD as hell, and I’m NOT gonna take it anymore!

Walt & Cyndy

I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO KEEP THIS MOVING FORWARD

Cyndy, you are quite the eloquent letter writer, don’t stop!

Harry Reid’s Gift to the American People for Christmas


From Redstate – Capriciousness, Avarice Aforethought, Despotism: Bellwethers Of America’s Ruling Class
Say hello to the folks that never place your best interests ahead of their own.

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.

Senate Healthcare Bill changes rules so it can’t be repealed

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.
