“But in the words of the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, I also believe that government should do for the people what they cannot do better for themselves”."

Maine City Considers Giving Non-U.S. Citizens Voting Rights | The Blaze
I am very curious why "ILLEGAL" only pertains to CITIZENS.....but not to ILLEGAL ALIENS.....ILLEGAL!
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Like his neighbors, Claude Rwaganje pays taxes on his income and taxes on his cars. His children have gone to Portland’s public schools. He‘s interested in the workings of Maine’s largest city, which he has called home for 13 years.
There’s one vital difference, though: Rwaganje isn’t a U.S. citizen and isn’t allowed to vote on those taxes or on school issues. That may soon change."

By 1935, the New York Times was reporting that “leading all other board games … is the season’s craze, ‘Monopoly,’ the game of real estate.”"

Congressman: Military Service Doesn’t Equal Public Service | The Blaze
Why should this remark and frame of reference surprise anyone? SO many of the Elites sniff at the military. They see them as just those who couldn't succeed on the outside and thus learn to break things and blow things up at our pleasure.
They don't see them as our greatest treasure....Those so willing to give that last full measure of devotion so many of these cowards couldn't imagine doing.
Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has some explaining to do to the nation’s veterans. While attacking his opponent, Republican Patrick Murray, Moran said Republicans use “stealth candidates, that haven’t been in office, haven’t served or performed in any kind of public service.“ He said Murray is a ”typical” example.
There’s just one problem. Patrick Murray is Colonel Patrick Murray, and he served 24 years in the Army."

Easy for him to say, but funny, I don't recall seeing For Sale Notices on his three houses in Malibu, JetRanger helicopter, three Harleys, Corvette, Ducati, Ford GT, yacht, submarine fleet, lavish mountain resort, fleet of dirt bikes, etc. etc. etc."

As vote nears, Pelosi's ratings fall to all-time low | Washington Examiner
As vote nears, Pelosi's ratings fall to all-time low | Washington Examiner:
A new Gallup poll finds that Nancy Pelosi's favorable rating is 29 percent -- the lowest it has been since Pelosi became Speaker of the House. Fifty-six percent of those surveyed have an unfavorable view of Pelosi.
That two-to-one unfavorable rating is a stark contrast to the two-to-one favorable rating Pelosi had when she took the Speaker's chair in January 2007. Back then, 44 percent of those surveyed by Gallup had a favorable impression of Pelosi, while 22 percent had an unfavorable impression of her."

Judge Rules Against New Drilling Regs | RedState
Judge Rules Against New Drilling Regs | RedState:
In the aftermath of the BP spill, federal regulators promulgated sweeping new rules governing the drilling and operation of offshore wells. These new rules apply not only to the operators of deepwater wells, like BP’s Macondo, but to shallow water drilling as well. Largely as a result of these new rules, and uncertainty among regulators and the oil and gas operators as to their meaning and application, new drilling permits ground to a halt."

American Thinker: Don't Vote if You Didn't Do Your Homework
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn't take long. The internet and a couple of cups of coffee leads you to the information you need to make an informed decision.
DO NOT go by sound bites. You dishonor our military and all those who have died to give you this incredible privilege.
Don't go by the vacuous political ads lying on both sides of the spectrum.
Don't be that lazy. Use your head.
Take your time. Remember the blood spilled on foreign and domestic shores to give YOU this opportunity....this incredible gift. Treat it as such.
American Thinker: Don't Vote if You Didn't Do Your Homework:
It has become apparent that most Americans simply don't take voting very seriously. This is especially true of those who encourage voting. They'll tell us that walking into a polling place and pulling a lever is our civic duty, but this isn't true. Our civic duty is to cultivate wisdom in ourselves and become conversant with the issues; the walking and pulling part is just a natural byproduct of that."

Congressman Barney Frank is in the fight of his political life. In the latest National Journal Political Insider's Poll, surveying 111 Democrat operatives, over two-thirds of the respondents believed Democrats will lose control of the House of Representatives after the November 2010 election. Underscoring the apprehension held by the polled insiders was their added belief that the losses would extend beyond moderate 'Blue Dog' lawmakers to include a number of prominent progressive representatives."

President Obama has taken to referencing the language of the Declaration of Independence while omitting key words. Although the practice has garnered attention of late, it dates back to the beginning of his presidency.
An October 19 article at CNSnews by Penny Star noted that 'For the second time in little over a month, President Barack Obama stripped the word 'Creator' from the Declaration of Independence when giving a speech.' These speeches have generated much debate concerning whether the president's omissions were deliberate or mistaken."

ObamaCare’s Crippling Taxes | FrontPage Magazine
Financially this is very telling. The Obamacare tax would possibly wipe out 80% of this Company's profit. There are those of you out there that would say GOOD! "They" are too greedy anyway!
Why do any of you think this is static? Why do you just surmise this manufacturer will continue to do business at anf for the governments bidding? Have you thought of the fact he just may fold his tent and go home? Why should he take all these risks for no reward for anything other than being told he is a Fat Cat business owner and "owes" his fair share...why does the Left just assume everyone will just roll over and do it's bidding at any cost?
ObamaCare’s Crippling Taxes | FrontPage Magazine:
Innumerable patients can be served by medical devices and new technologies if the medical device industry can bear the new tax. One large equipment maker, for example, who may be taxed out of business, explains why, according to an Oct. 14 report. The company makes equipment that could reduce our leading cause of death–heart disease–which killed more than 600,000 people last year. The company, Zoll Medical, makes electric paddles, called automated external defibrillators (AEDs). They can shock to life a stopped heart and restore its rhythm. A few years ago, these medical devices could be used only by trained professionals. A spokesperson for Zoll Medical said the 2.3 percent tax on medical devices will increase the company’s tax bill by an amount which could eliminate 80 percent of its profits. This would leave little resources to invest in future research and development."

Mid-term elections are, generally speaking, a zero sum game. The out-of-power voters are highly motivated to vote, to express their exasperation with the in-crowd and send a message. The in-party's voters are disheartened and discouraged and therefore less likely to vote. Three percent more of the former and three percent less of the latter adds up to a six percent swing and some number of Congressional seats (usually around 20) changes hands."

In September 2003, Frank, then the ranking Democrat on the Republican-led Financial Services Committee, opposed a Bush administration proposal for transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to a new agency that would be created within the Treasury Department. The proposal reflected the administration's belief that Congress 'neither has the tools, nor the stature' for adequate oversight. Frank stated, 'These two entities...are not facing any kind of financial crisis.... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.'"

MSNBC on Tuesday continued its attempt to dismiss Republican candidates as extremist, hitting Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell and others as 'mean girls' who are unqualified for office. Jansing appeared shocked that the Delaware candidate pointed out the phrase 'separation of church and state' isn't in the Constitution. She then read from the First Amendment, but failed to find the words."

Fannie, Freddie, Frank, and fiction - The Boston Globe:
Frank faces a spirited challenge from Republican Sean Bielat, a 35-year-old businessman and Marine Corps reservist. Bielat has turned Frank’s longtime support for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the “government sponsored entities’’ that aggressively enabled the subprime mortgage lending at the heart of the financial meltdown, into the major issue of the race. During a debate last week, Bielat charged: “By pushing for homeownership, even among those who couldn’t afford the homes, Barney Frank put this country on a perilous footing.’’"

There’s No Avoiding ‘Repeal and Replace’ - James C. Capretta - National Review Online:
"Scores of House and Senate candidates are campaigning on a platform of reestablishing limited government. There could hardly be a more encouraging development for our republic. After decades of legislators’ piling countless new programs on top of old ones, and two years of the most intense tax-and-spend binge ever conducted by an administration, government finances have reached the breaking point. Something is going to give, and probably sooner rather than later."

It took 410 days to build the Empire State Building, four years to erect the Golden Gate Bridge. The Pentagon took a year and a half, the Alaska Highway just nine months. These days it takes longer to build an overpass.
For instance, planning for Boston's 'Big Dig' officially began in the early 1980s with a budget of $2.6 billion, but ground wasn't broken until 1991 and the last ramp wasn't opened until 2006. The final estimated cost: $22 billion. According to the Boston Globe, it won't be paid off until 2038."

As someone who cares about reforming our government, I want to direct your attention to an effort by House Republicans to cut wasteful spending on road signs that announce stimulus projects. The production of these signs could potentially amount to $192 million once they are all complete, and I do not feel that is a wise use of tax payer funds."

There's a double standard when it comes to religion and politics.

More Obamacare fallout: Neutering of our HSA's | Washington Examiner:
Now that you, Nancy Pelosi and I are finally discovering what’s in Obamacare, it’s getting ugly. In fact, for me, it’s now officially personal.
My family and I have chosen a health savings account (HSA). I have a “catastrophic” plan to go with my HSA. So instead of putting all my money towards an insurance premium each month, I put money aside for out-of-pocket care and pay a lower premium. In other words, I pay for most of my basic healthcare needs from my HSA--that is, instead of shifting the cost of my care onto you."

I guess it’s fitting that Barack Obama is slated to make a cameo appearance on the Discovery Channel’s, “MythBusters.” All the brother’s campaign promises have been replete with myth after myth. Like the promise to get our fiscal house in order. Like the promise to drive down healthcare premiums. Like the promise that the “stimulus” bill would re-ignite a damaged economy. Like the promise that he would transcend petty politics and bring all Americans together. Like the promise that he wouldn’t tax families making less than $250,000.

Dreams of 2008: Obama's Lost Magic - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International:
Two years on from his historic election victory, US President Barack Obama is trying to recover his lost magic as defeat for the Democrats looms in the midterm elections. But he is no longer the man he used to be, and his window of opportunity has passed.
He wants everything to be as it was before. He wants it to be as innocent and passionate, as honest and boundless. He wants it to be as full of promises and the conviction that everything is possible in the Land of Opportunity. Because, as he told his supporters back then, 'We are the ones we've been waiting for.' It was a rallying cry so powerful and romantic it sounded like a line from a good song."

The difficult thing about dealing with a frenzied totalitarian movement like today's Republican Party is not only do they not take 'No' for an answer, they don't even really take 'Yes.' Whether they're sent packing by the electorate or accepted with open arms, their one and only response to all possible events is to further crystallize their beliefs, purify their ranks of dissent, and break all of their own records for violence, depravity, and madness. So we find ourselves confronting a bitter realization: Win or lose this election season, Republicans appear to be headed on a one-way path to organized political violence."

Charles Evans, president of the Chicago Fed, said that “in my opinion, much more policy accommodation is appropriate today” because “the US economy is best described as being in a bona fide liquidity trap”, a point where ultra-low interest rates and high savings rates conspire to make monetary policy ineffective."

The Nanny State Grabs Your Wallet - Bruce Bialosky - Townhall Conservative:
When President Obama lobbied for the Financial Reform bill cobbled together by Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, he could have easily repeated what Nancy Pelosi said about Health Care Reform – let’s pass it so we can find out what’s in it. I couldn’t find a synopsis of the bill prior to its passage, but I’m now shocked to discover that this is a mammoth extension of the nanny state."

Dems Find Careers Threatened by Obamacare Votes - Michael Barone - Townhall Conservative:
Seven months ago, Speaker Nancy Pelosi spent a busy week rounding up votes to pass the Senate version of the Democrats' health care legislation.
It wasn't easy. She had to get Democrats who had voted no in November to switch to yes in March. And she had to get Democrats who had refused to vote for the bill in November without an anti-abortion amendment to vote for a bill in March that lacked that language."

Really...I mean...really???....Ha!
Merkel says German multi-cultural society has failed - Yahoo! News:
BERLIN (AFP) – Germany's attempt to create a multi-cultural society has failed completely, Chancellor Angela Merkel said at the weekend, calling on the country's immigrants to learn German and adopt Christian values.
Merkel weighed in for the first time in a blistering debate sparked by a central bank board member saying the country was being made 'more stupid' by poorly educated and unproductive Muslim migrants.
'Multikulti', the concept that 'we are now living side by side and are happy about it,' does not work, Merkel told a meeting of younger members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party at Potsdam near Berlin."

More Tales on the Abuse of Public Trust:
Lest anyone think the waste of taxpayer funds is limited to Bell, California, take a look at sleepy Lincoln Parish, Louisiana where the Police Jury (Louisiana's version of the county commission) on Tuesday brazenly voted to accept the highest bid submitted for trash hauling from among the three qualified bidders in violation of the public trust and in the possible violation of Louisiana public bid laws."

Delaware - The Boston Globe listed AG Martha "Marsha" Coakley ahead of Scott Brown by 15 points just before the election.....pay NO attention to that man behind the curtain....just VOTE!!!!
The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : O'Donnell Gains 8 Says Rasmussen; Hannity Appearance Helps:
A brand new post-debate Rasmussen poll has Christine O'Donnell trailing Democrat Chris Coons by only 11-points, 51%-40%, picking up eight from the pre-debate Monmouth University poll that had her trailing by 19 points, 57%-38%.
The Rasmussen poll is a startling development in a race that has taken an unusual twist in the last 48 hours. It puts Coons perilously close to sinking under the 50% margin. O'Donnell won 150,000 votes in a 2008 Senate bid against then-Senator Joe Biden when Biden was also running for vice president, which in today's climate could be enough to win."
