Show Me State

Says, Look at this.

Missouri lawmakers
says no to Obamacare.

Too much of everything is in The Bill. We knew that, didn’t we?

Halloween Sequel

They know.

And it scares the beejeezus out of them.

Get ready for a fight. Massachusetts, turn out the conservative vote. We need you.

If Only Indeed

Radley Balko displays an excellent quote right now, sportsfans of politics …

Attempting Reconciliation

Way to go, Congress. Must be that looming election in Massachusetts that is bothering you, eh?

What? Parliamentary rules allows this? Wait, don’t those same rules require the presence of bill-type documents on the Floor while discussing them before voting on them?

So, if you lose a Senatorial seat in Massachusetts to a Republican (guess what, this is OUR hope and change), 60 votes is just too tough to acquire?

We Did Not You Did

Mr. President, come this Tuesday evening – you will know if this election is indeed about Obamacare.

Psst. It isn’t you know. It is about: not listening to us (the people), too many radicals in your appointments, cash for clunkers, increasing the deficit, the southward direction of the economy, rising unemployment, the transparency that isn’t, faux global warming, cap and trade, oh – and, you know what, it really is about Healthcare ALSO.

Hope So Indeed

From The Daily Pundit.

Let’s Hope So. As stated by the One who named the Blogosphere.

We shall see, late on January 19th. Is the above a warning, or prophecy?

Another Executive Order

Some have asked me about this one. This very recent one.

I have to admit, I have more than one concern about it. Namely, how and why a Council of 10 Governors is needed at all. Considering that our union is 50 states strong, just how unbiased are these 10 going to be? And bipartisan? 5 of one party, 5 of another? Does anyone buy this in view of the current political climate? I most certainly do not.

Besides, the Posse Comitatus Act clearly points out the roles of the National Guard and how they are to be focused. The NG is deployed and under the supervision of States Governors at times of crisis. Not under federal supervision/jurisdiction. (And notice that legislation passed during the Bush administration was repealed, reverting wording back to that of the Insurrection Act.) This Executive Order clearly bypasses Congress to employ something new.

My question: How dangerous is this down the road? And before anyone tries to label me a far-right winger, I caution anyone who thinks a soft stick at this point – about this particular issue – has our best interests at heart. History shows otherwise.

This Executive Order is only two days old, it appears, and what else I want to know is – what does your (and my own) representatives know about this one? And what do they intend to do about it?

Hidden Records for 8 Years

Who do we know that has been hiding records?

Well, this time it is the SEC. You know, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
And guess which tax evader is involved?

The now current Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, at the time the chair of the New York Fed, instructed AIG to keep that information from the SEC itself.

Related? Now an IG that oversees the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is having issues. Hhhmm. Now where have we heard anything similar?

Dems – The Land of Taxes

They just won’t stop spending.
They just won’t stop taxing.

Come November, they just won’t have a job anymore.
At least, that’s the Plan.

More Bad News Unplugged

You know those plugin hybrids you are waiting for? It will take close to 15 or 20 years to break even.

And couple that with the “Green Jobs” costs (the true costs) along with other, detrimental, budget-busting taxes, er – incentives, um oil price increases and whatnot.

Consumers, do you feel consumed yet?
