Davey Doo, did you ever think, when trying to make jobs, the dems were serious about "shovel ready projects" knowing that "Splash Kennedy" was the prime candidate at that time? Think of all the overtime and extra pay for police and such.................!

You are a pathetic little man. There is really no point in even discussing anything with you and expecting any kind of an honest answer.

Rep. Rangel must step aside as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

The Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...0203082_pf.html

FOR POLITICIANS with major bad news to release or to make public, there's no time like the dead of August to do it. The thinking goes that the public won't remember a thing come September. We hope Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) will have no such luck. His belated revelation of previously unreported income, property and bank accounts demands that he step aside as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Mr. Rangel's amended financial disclosure form, which exposes omissions from his 2002 through 2006 records, is a treasure trove of outrage. He neglected to report a checking account with the Congressional Federal Credit Union and one with Merrill Lynch, each valued between $250,000 and $500,000; the tens of thousands of dollars he's earning from dividends from a number of mutual funds and stocks; and the money made from the sale of a Harlem townhouse. As a result, Mr. Rangel's reported net worth doubled, from between $516,015 and $1,316,000 to between $1,028,024 and $2,495,000.

We called on Mr. Rangel to resign his coveted post last November while the House ethics committee probed his contact with a potential donor to a pet project who also had business before the committee. Mind you, that committee already was looking into his using official stationery to raise funds for that pet project, paying below-market rents on four Harlem apartments, failing to report income from a Florida condominium sale and failing to pay taxes on a home in the Dominican Republic. There's another subcommittee investigation into lobbyist-paid trips by Mr. Rangel and four other members of Congress.

Much is expected of elected officials. Much more is expected and demanded of those entrusted with chairmanships and the power that comes with them, especially when it involves the nation's purse strings. From all that we've seen thus far, Mr. Rangel has violated that trust continually and seemingly without care.

What would that do to Timmy Geithner ... If he loses Charlie as a role model?

bub is that you?

Yale Law School and Why Van Jones went There

American Thinker,

During the Anita Hill hearings after a series of implausible witnesses all of whom were black Yale law school graduates, Juan Williams wrote in the Washington Post that he could now understand the wisdom of the saying that Yale law school had ruined more good black minds than crack. I have found that to be an accurate observation and have always been grateful to Juan for having brought that to my attention.

Real Time New Rules: Grow a Set and Stand Up for the 70% of Americans Who Aren't Crazy



Partial transcript. Video at link. Pretty funny. My favorite line was his description of Palin as "Carrie’s mom."

Rep. Stark: ‘I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg’



Town halls are starting to look less like literal representations of democracy and more like so-ridiculous-it-has-to-be-scripted reality shows.

Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA) told a constituent at a recent town hall meeting that he wouldn’t “waste the urine” to pee on the man’s leg.

As the San Francisco Chronicle reports, and a video confirms, the man stood near the congressman and listed off what he felt were “smoke and mirrors” promises in the Obama administration’s healthcare reform proposal. At the close of his remarks, which he delivered in a civil tone, the constituent said: “Mr. Congressman, don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”

Some in the crowd whooped and cheered, but Stark, who is known for his sharp tongue, responded calmly:

“Well, I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn’t be worth wasting the urine.”

Giving Us The Middle Finger
by Brian Maloney, September 1st, 2009 at 04:15pm


Thanks, Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, for so accurately representing your family’s sentiments toward the little people of Massachusetts.

That middle finger aimed out the window during Ted K’s motorcade perfectly sums up the situation: we’ll behave any way we like, while you will continue to reward us with eternal political power, all because of our “royal” surname.

Yale starts with an A?

Some of them lost a load of money. It's not surprising 80% are Democrats, but I'd be interested to know how they earned all that money and how much is their spouse's money.

Protesting arrogance: The summer of disrespect

Editorial
http://unionleader.com/article.aspx?headli...93-0be199c760cf

If President Obama and Democrats in Washington continue to dismiss the genuine anger over their health care reform proposals, they will set themselves up for electoral disaster.

Americans came to town hall meetings in July and August to yell at their congressmen, and they marched on Washington on Saturday, because they resent being treated so disrespectfully.


They resent being fed obviously untrue statements about what health care reform would do. They resent having undetailed legislation rushed through without anyone -- even members of Congress -- having read it. (This is at least the second time this year that's happened.)

They resent being called "un-American" and labeled pawns of special interest groups. They resent the suggestion that their questions and concerns are just partisan "bickering."

Americans have been treated shabbily by this President and his party. That treatment is the cause of their anger. It is perfectly obvious. One only has to listen to realize it. And yet Obama is oblivious. He doesn't listen; he only talks.

At this rate, he is going to talk his party out of majority status. Refusing to listen to the people is never a good political strategy.

You are an idiot. Cheney can tell Leahy to FORK OFF! ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE and it's perfectly acceptable. Have a Kennedy flip the bird to a paparazzi and it's a scandal.

Fork off. Jesus Christ you people take the cake.


Criticize the teabaggers, who are nothing but Republican 501 STOOGES and you're disrespectful. Republicans criticize war protesters and rip into anyone who dares stand in the way of their permanent majority and they get awards and medals.

Your double standards are rank hypocrisy.

It's sickening.

We never resented being directly called un-American and unpatriotic and Saddamites and terrorist-lovers by the same assholes and their leaders.

I only wish Obama had called those farking morons what they really are.

Alas, he wasn't elected President for speaking off the cuff.

Friggin moron.

"And so I guess we'll probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside intimidating people. ... That's the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked, and Congressman Wilson represents it," - Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA).

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_...2009/09/mo.html


This is even more brainless than what Wilson shouted.

You know the dems are at rock bottom when they start yelling the "race card" and bring out (as Rush calls him) the "national hemorrhoid", and anti-Semite, Jimah Carter to make a statement!

A particular Democratic Representative made that statement. Why do you ALWAYS, and ad hoc, use guilt-by-association logical fallacies?

What is it about your thought process that makes you unable to recognize that doing so is the mark of a weak, lazy intellect?

YET ANOTHER BRAINDEAD POLITICIAN

By Neal Boortz @ September 17, 2009 8:16 AM


The people of California should be spanked for continuing to re-elect Maxine Waters to the Congress. This woman is truly a reflection of what I like to call the dumb masses. She's a notorious race pimp, so this whole uproar about racism probably sends tingles up her leg. She is just itching to jump into the conversation.

So here's what she had to add to this countries dialogue on race.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLk9xcVb_g...player_embedded

So here's what she had to add to this countries dialogue on race.

Maxine Waters believes that the media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists, like people who attend tea party rallies. She believes that it is not enough for African-Americans ... or as us non politically correct people like to say, "blacks" ... it is not enough for blacks to cry racism against these people. What we really need to do is use the media to expose their racist bias.

Here is how it went in her own words: "I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed ... I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers ... I think it's not enough for African-Americans to say what they think, what they suspect ... I think that if you put the microphones in front of them, if you do the interviews, they'll tell you what they believe, what they think."

By the way, do you think it is fair to lump birthers and tea party protesters in the same category? Because that seems to be the norm for Democrats lately. I would hope there would be a giant difference between people who are fed up with the size of our imperial federal government and the moonbats who believe that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLk9xcVb_g...player_embedded

I am not a big fan of Maxine Waters but in this case I think her proposal is sound.

Instead of just opining/guessing that Tea Party and Birther individuals are racially prejudiced against Blacks, it's preferable to actually FIND OUT what their views and attitudes are and examine IF there is, in fact, (as much as answers to questions or surveys really get at people's views and attitudes) even a correlation between being a 'Tea Party" or "Birther" person and racially prejudiced views and attitudes.

How does that not make sense?

Sunlight scares them.

True. It will be very difficult to 'coach' every single Tea Party and Birther 'yahoo' on how to answer survey questions so as not to appear racially prejudiced.

Bush cheered for both Philips Academy Andover in Andover, Mass. and Yale University

Jimmah Carter with his remarks about hate of a black president by Congressman Wilson and Nancy Pelosi and her remarks about violence and burning about the Tea Groups are suggestively trying to start a "Reichstag Fire" martial law situation - watch out! they see their power crumbling.

So you think most of those people in DC last weekend went there from all over the US because they are racist and really just wanted to protest a black president? That seems to be what you and Davis are saying! In that large group there were a few from the democrat side with some signs playing the role of "opportunity provocateur", I suspect.

buncha sore losers

the million moron march

No, I said it would be best to actually find out. Not by force. But by having, hopefully properly trained, survey-researchers and interviewers ask them about their views overall, their motivations, their concerns, etc.

What Davis and I opined was that only those who FEARED what would come out of such research would seek to badmouth Maxine Waters (whom neither one of us particularly likes, in general) for proposing that we actually find out what people in the Tea Parties, etc. really think.

Their concerns, to me, and most others I know, were quite obvious; they were well posted on their signs/banners and stated clearly in their interviews - 1. big government, 2. UHC, 3. taxes, 4. creeping fascism... . I did not hear nor see any one protesting a black person being president. In fact there were many black citizens interviewed and with signs as well. I suspect we watch/listen/read different TV/radio/papers, don't you? You, I see, as being an NPR/TV, Pacifica Radio, KPFA, in Berkeley, California, NYT and MSNBC type person! Those media, and the 3 major Networks, appeared to know nothing about the ACORN or Van Jones items for almost two weeks while others were blasting it all over.

Reichstag Fire

QUOTE

(Feb. 27, 1933) Burning of the German parliament building (Reichstag) in Berlin. Allegedly set by a Dutch communist, the fire was used by Adolf Hitler to turn public opinion against his opponents, especially the communists. He enacted a decree suspending constitutional protection of personal rights, which effectively began the Nazi Party dictatorship. The fire was widely believed to have been set by the Nazis themselves, while others have argued there was no proof of Nazi complicity; it remains the subject of debate and research.

FOX Cable News, this AM, had a whole list of Pelosi's vitriol sent out in her letters as well as verbally. She's the one stirring up strong feelings!

ACORN threatens to open Pandora's box

Politico, by Ken Blackwell & Keith Klukowski
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27270.html
9/19/2009 8:51:57 AM

In the wake of Fox News reporting on the unfolding ACORN scandal, ACORN is now threatening to sue the network. Now that Fox is actually breaking news on this story by showing new videos, ACORN might just do it. Fox News should pray that ACORN does sue, because it would blow the doors off this story, possibly destroying ACORN and erupting into a political scandal in Washington.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27270.html

Pray for them to begin the lawsuit against the Network - think of all the "legal discovery". Think of all the subpoenas, depositions, etc.. I'll bet the shredder sales to ACORN are on the rise already!

That would be 9/11. Republicans used that for their own personal Reichstaag fire.

You people sure have a lot of nerve.

You think you can disown the self-avowed racists in your party? Good luck with that.

Their concern is returning Republicans to power. That is all.

I have already heard this stated in a different forum. You idiots all get your info from the same corrupt source.

So you saying the republicans did 9/11?

ACORN won't be suing anyone.

No. I don't think they caused it. But I KNOW they USED IT.

They stood on the bodies of the victims of 9/11 and used their deaths as the GOP's version of the Reichstaag fire to rally their nationalist base. I know Nazis set the Reichstaag fire. But Republicans capitalized on 9/11 more effectively than the original Reichstaag. They used 9/11 and the fear it generated to both elevate themselves with false patriotism and destroy their enemies using the new McCarthyism, lies and accusations of 'terrorist sympathizer'.

It was the lowest thing I've ever seen in politics.

They USED 9/11 as a vehicle for their political and financial ambitions. It was a golden opportunity. The 'permanent majority', AKA a coup, was almost within their grasp. We dodged a bullet there.

they wanted it and had plenty of warnings
