Congressman Rangel, chairman of the wys and means committe has been censored by the ethics committee. Even some dems want him to step down.

bo comes out of the cesspool that is Chicago dem politics. I wonder what blago will offer in his future plea agreement with the state? Even blago isn't very impressed with bo. Sooner or later Chicago politics will come back to bite bo and the dmes.The former Illinois governor tells Esquire: "It's such a cynical business, and most of the people in the business are full of s--- and phonies, but I was real, man — and am real. This guy, he was catapulted in on hope and change, what we hope the guy is. What the f---? Everything he's saying's on the teleprompter. I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived. I saw it all growing up."Read the interview here....
Dick Morris sees very unhappy days coming for the dems. Good. I look forward to watching haryy reid and several other dem senators go down to defeat. The dems 60 seats will soon just be an unpleasant memory. When the house become much closer, bo will get very little of his socialist agenda passed. He passed cap and tax by 7 votes in the house. I am sure the dems will los far more than 7 seats in the house. In the average off year election, the party in power loses 20 seats. The anger in the US is much higher than the average off year election year.Other than the H1N1 virus, the most contagious disease in our nation's capital is retirement. It is catching. The more Democrats that quit, the more others are also encouraged to hang it up. Retirements like those of Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn.,...
dem senators and house members are dropping like flies. The latest being chris dodds. Good riddance.! Dick Morris thinks the era of the conservative dem is oer. It's over because they are really liberals in conervative clothing. Recent completely partisan votes show that to be the case.The very public way in which the existence of a center-right in the Democratic Party proved to be a mirage has done more to undermine the party's chances for victory in 2010 than any other aspect of the health care debate.When liberal Republicans failed to rally to Bill Clinton's 1993-1994 agenda -- including his failed health care proposal -- they laid the basis for their total demise in subsequent years. Sen. Jeffords, Chaffee, D'Amato, Packwood, Hatfield and Specter (as a Republican) are gone. Sens....
That's what Dick Morris thinks. The dems are setting themselves up for another electoral catastrophe in 2010.1993 redux confronts DemsBy Dick Morris and Eileen McGann - 11/04/09 07:33 PM ETAs Santayana said, “Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.” Congressional Democrats: Take note!Are the elections of 2009 precursors of the same kind of massive partisan upheaval in Congress that we experienced in 1994?

This should BO's lefty friends very happy. It makes me happy.Dems: No taxpayer funds for abortionsDemocrats are signaling Sunday that language will be added to the health care bill that will make it explicit that taxpayer money won't go toward abortions.Here's an exchange from ABC's "This Week," between Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and host George Stephanopoulos.STEPHANOPOULOS: Secretary Sebelius, what's wrong with that, making it explicit in the bill that no public funding should go toward abortions?SEBELIUS: Well, I think that's what the president intends to do. There's no intent to change the language that's in the current Medicaid statute, which has been there for years and provides insurance to millions of Americans....

John has a great piece on the dems most embarrasing moments at the August townhalls.

(I also note that the obamas still haven't chosen a Church for themselves yet in Washington.)...
that the CIA probe is a bad idea. Feinstein agreed with GOP Senator John McCain.

Its funny how there repeated protest, often invoking hitler by lefties during the Bush years. Now the shoe is on the other foot and the lefties dont like it.So we are to have a French health-care system without a French tradition of political protest. It is odd that American liberalism, in a veritable state of insurrection during the Bush presidency, now seeks political quiescence. These “townhallers” who have come forth to challenge ObamaCare have been labeled “evil-mongers” (Harry Reid), “un-American” (Nancy Pelosi), agitators and rowdies and worse. A political class, and a media elite, that glamorized the protest against the Iraq war, that branded the Bush presidency as a reign of usurpation, now wishes to be done with the tumult of political debate. President Barack Obama...
It seems cracks are growing in the obamessiah facade. Dems are beginning to understand that they may have elected a dud who is unable to push throught their leftist agenda. Hope and change are increasingly becoming a distant memory. President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats are again in an uproar over health care.Liberals say they'll blockade any bill that doesn't include a government-run insurance program. And labor says it will sit out the 2010 elections if the president doesn't come across with a stout public plan.Meanwhile, the moderate Democrats who were wooed for weeks by the administration are sidling toward the door, saying that the best thing would be just to start over.Many at the White House no doubt wish they could take that advice.It's been 177 days since Obama made his...
It seems the cap and tax waxman markey will is still having a bad time of it. pelosi says she doesn't have the votes to pass it. The blue dog dems are even more sanguine.Among Democrats, Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin of South Dakota., a co-chairwoman of the 51-member Blue Dog Coalition, said Wednesday she cannot support the bill.Of her Blue Dog colleagues, she said, "Many are skeptical; many are seemingly unmovable off of their 'no' positions."Herseth Sandlin has parochial concerns regarding the impact on smaller industrial utilities and cooperatives, even though the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association is no longer opposed because of a deal Waxman reached with Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson. Iowa GOP Congressman Tom Lantham is trying to attach an ammendment to protect...
It seems many dems in congress are getting feedback from their constituents that they don't want to be gouged by cap and tax. This insanity will be defeated by exposing the truth and explaining it is a huge tax grab. Cape and Tax must and will be defeated. Waxman Markey may not even pass the house let alone get through the senate. Good news for Canadians as well.Dem mutiny on climate bill grows, says PetersonBy Jared AllenPosted: 06/10/09 08:17 PM [ET]More and more Democrats are ready to vote against Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s climate change bill, according to a congressional committee chairman who opposes his leader.The House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) said Wednesday that he’s at an impasse with the lead sponsor of a climate change bill strongly backed by...

I know some of the dems feel perjury is ok sometimes. ( Look at their support of bill), but do they really need a lying senator?
Burris released an affidavit over the weekend in which he admitted Blagojevich's brother asked him for campaign fundraising help before Blagojevich appointed him to the Senate.
The disclosure is at odds with Burris' testimony in January, when the Illinois House of Representatives impeachment committee asked whether he had ever spoken to Robert Blagojevich or other aides to the now-deposed governor.
"It was done because we promised the (impeachment) committee we would supplement information in case we missed anything," Burris said outside a South Side church before meeting with religious leaders.
The discrepancy could mean Burris perjured himself.

I got this from my Facebook friend MJ Santos. The Core Difference between Democrats and Republicans in the USPosted on 14/02/2009 by mjsstrategiesI got this from a Facebook friend. To put this entire note in simple terms, let me give some vocabularies to summarize:character |ˈkariktər| noun: the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual; strength and originality in a person’s nature hypocrisy |hiˈpäkrisē|noun: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform; pretense.This is not about politics. This is about decency and respect. Bush may not have been the perfect President, but he has always been a decent human being. Thank you, President Bush for showing that cowboys got more class than any Rhode Scholarship...
pseudochretien said a few million dollars wasn't very much. The dems think on an even grander scale.N.Y. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer took to the floor on Tuesday to sneer at public outrage over the trillion-dollar porkulus. "The American people really don't care," he said, about those "little tiny, yes, porky amendments." He punctuated his derision by pinching his pointer finger and thumb together. Only the "chattering classes" worry about such trivial matters, Schumer scoffed....
Why is Geithner confirmed when he has the same tax troubles as Daschle and Killefer? Team Obama Can't Justify GeithnerPosted by: Amanda Carpenter at 1:43 PMWhite House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tom Daschle withdrew his name from consideration to become Health and Human Services Secretary because he didn't want to be a "distraction" from the president's agenda.Gibbs said Nancy Killefer, who was on track to become the federal government's chief performance officer, resigned on Tuesday for similar reasons.Both of them had a series of problems with their personal finances and failed to pay hundreds of thousands in taxes. And of course there's Charlie Rangel. Jonah Goldberg is right, The dems are hypocrites when it comes to taxes. They think others should pay.During the presidential...

Seems the dems can't tolerate any dissent. So much for working with those across the aisle. Senator Lieberman will probably officially decide to caucus with the GOP.In the wake of Obama's statement today that he doesn't hold any "grudges" against Lieberman and his decision not to take a position on whether Lieberman keeps his chairmanship, I emailed a leadership aide to ask whether the vote would definitely go forward. His response:"Yes -- this is a decision that will be made by the caucus next week. Absent a stunning series of events there will be a vote next week in the caucus on whether to strip Senator Lieberman of the chairmanship."That would appear to make it official.The news comes amid signs that Lieberman is losing support among his fellow Senators. The Huffington Post reports,...

Even the dems are embarrassed by Jimmy Carter. He got to say nothing at their convention.

The dems are always trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.The Italian Communist Party could win this election. The American Democratic Party is trying its best to lose it.Democrats have the advantage on just about every domestic issue from health care to education. However, Americans' greatest concern is the economy, and their greatest economic concern is energy (by a significant margin: 37 percent to 21 percent for inflation). Yet Democrats have gratuitously forfeited the issue of increased drilling for domestic oil and gas. By an overwhelming margin of 2-1, Americans want to lift the moratorium preventing drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf, thus unlocking vast energy resources shut down for the last 27 years....
Ann Coulter exposes more dem half truths and lies on energy. Energy conservation is a good idea, but the oil companies need to be allowed to drill for oil!That's the Democrats' plan to run cars on biofuels, solar and wind power: Then a miracle happens. The current Democratic mantra on energy is: "We can't drill our way out of this problem." Apparently their plan is to talk our way out of this problem.Democrats are also alleging that the oil companies are sitting on millions of acres of oil but are refusing to drill -- presumably because oil company executives hate the American people and perversely don't want to make money. Manifestly, those acres are being explored for oil or have already come up dry.If the Democrats really wanted oil companies to find more oil, they'd allow oil...
An interesting editorial in the Post. It seems the dmes have strict instructions to be green and have only locally grown food etc at their Denver convention. All of that is pretty hard in a cold place like Colorado (or much of Canada). It once agin shows one ignores market forces at one's peril.The new hordes of green-eating advocates are merely reviving an old and well-known problem in a new form. In the 1920s, the economist Ludwig von Mises argued that rational economic production was impossible under socialism: Denied the price signals that give social needs and preferences an implicit hand in every decision a capitalist entrepreneur makes, a state planner could never hope to predict demand and make informed choices. The debate over economic calculation carried on for decades, but in...
