Democrats — Lowering the Bar

http://www.nypost.com/seven/02162009/news/columnists/govs_hy_pay_crisy_155409.htm

I’m talking about the ethics bar. For a party that claimed they would improve the morality in Washington, Democrats have been a complete failure !

 How many Democrats have been accused, impeached, or mentioned in a wide variety of criminal activities?  Senator Reid’s family benefited financially from his senatorial status.  Pelosi sent some companies a special stipend, thanks to the bailout.  Senator Burris, President Obama’s replacement, is now facing challenges to his testimony.  The Illinois governor was impeached.  President Obama claims to have not know the governor personally, but there are pictures proving otherwise. 

Now, the New York Governor, a replacement for the former, Democratic governor who left under scnadalous conditions, has decided to raise the salaries of some of his best buddies, despite the state of New York supposedly being in financial trouble.

Where does this money grubbing party stop its antics?  It won’t be any time soon because they now have the 780 gazillion dollars from the bailout to work with. 

These criminal activities by Democrats are your — and my — tax dollars at work.  The Democrats are not only lowering the ethical bar, but beating us over the head with it.  Our grandchildren will pay for the Democrats not being honest men and women.

Can Congress read?

Can Congress read the 1100 pages of this new stimulus bill?  Looks like there was no time to do that.  Let’s vote.  Let’s vote. 

The Congressional Budget Office said this stimulus bill will NOT HELP and probably will HURT our economy.  Did Congress listen?  If spending this much money does not help, why did Democrats insist on passing it anyway?  If Congress doesn’t bother to read bills before voting, why are they being paid?

 Americans have to start demanding legislators who do their job which means protecting our tax dollars.  Or else, let’s throw them out.  Can they read the handwriting on the wall?

Scandalous

Democrats are using their new-found power as a club to beat everyone who disagrees into submission.  Senator Reid and Rep Nancy Pelosi have not permitted any Republican input to legislation.  Democrats hold up 3 of the most liberal Republicans who joined them as examples of bipartisanship in progress.

Ha ha.  Bipartisanship means you ask the other party to be INVOLVED in the creation of legislation.  You allow them to forward AMENDMENTS.  But, that is not how Pelosi and Reid work.

It is scandalous!

“Share” the wealth, by Senator Schurmer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEfICUoWKBw

There might be some Americans who don’t care about the “itty bitty” pork Senator Schurmer mentions.  But I bet they are on the receiving end, and not the taking end!  Ask anyone who already pays taxes if they want to pay more !  Then, ask someone who does NOT pay taxes if they care if someone else pays more taxes.  Guess who will favor more taxes? 

If Senator Schurmer really believes in sharing,  why doesn’t he dig into his own pockets and pay for the pork?  Come on, Senator, share YOUR wealth!

Obama — about as suave as President Ford

Remember how the media ridiculed President Ford for slipping on a step?  Well, here’s a Democratic President who forgot to duck and hit his head.  Is the media making a similar fuss about it?

No?  Oh, that’s right.  This is a Democratic President and Democrats can do no wrong!

Let’s hope that  the knock on the head will knock some sense into President Obama’s noggin!

Roger Barnett, American land owner

Let’s see.  The illegal immigrants KNEW it was not their land.  That makes them trespassers!

The illegal immigrants KNEW they were trying to sneak into this country illegally.  That makes them criminals!

The rancher KNEW it was his land.  That makes him the owner!

The rancher KNEW illegals had damaged his property before.  That makes his actions justified!

And, who is suing whom?  Why, of course.  The illegal criminals are suing the legal owner of the land they trespassed across when they tried to illegally enter America.

In today’s America, it makes perfect sense!

McCain — standing firm against governmental excess

Finally, a Republican fights back against the ridiculous, and growing even more ridiculous, stimulus package that President Obama and the Democrats are proposing….and trying to shove down their fellow legislators’ throats!

The way to end a recession, folks, is to cut spending and thus taxes so people have more money in their pockets.  Taking money out of our pockets and redirecting it to someone else is basically stealing from Peter to pay Paul!
