Harry Reid, you can kiss my ass! Get in line behind Pelosi, Obama, Emanuel, Schumer, Durbin and Franks. When you're done, I am going to work my ass off to get every last one of you OUT OF OFFICE!!

Breitbart.com : McCain supports Palin for president ... sort of

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 02:26:50 +0000

A former beauty pageant contestant in Alaska, Palin is the first female governor of the northern state and the Republican Party's first female vice-presidential nominee. ~~~~~ What is this crap? She is the governor of Alaska, and all you can mention is that she was in a couple of beauty pageants to earn money for college? Good grief!!

Thank YOU! I live in Texas, a right to work state. I do NOT want unions being able to take over businesses in my state. This bill would be devastating to small businesses if it passes, and it would hurt states that are not currently union states.

PLEASE!!!! Go to this website and sign the petition to defeat the "Freedom Of Choice Act" now being debated in congress. This bill would take away the right to a secret ballot when voting to join unions. Vote now and choose the option on the website to send it to your friends to do the same!! This is VERY important. If you now live in a "right to work" state it would mean that unions would be able to turn your state into a "union" state! http://www.americansolutions.com/Actioncenter/Pet...

LOL! When I saw those, they reminded me of my best girlfriend in high school. I never had any boots, (was a rocker) but my best friend was a "kicker." She had several pairs of boots. The good old days!!!

Call your senators and representatives about the Freedom of Choice Act! This is the "card check" bill that is being debated NOW. It involves the right to a secret ballot in the workplace when voting on being unionized. It also will determine whether the GOVERNMENT has the authority to force mediation in workplace disputes. PLEASE, call your senators and reps and tell them NO to the FOCA!!!!!

Obots are too stupid to understand the difference between illness and arrogance. Sad, isn't it?

FB, I don't love Rush's delivery. Frankly, he is abrasive, as is Ann Coulter. I don't worship him or listen to him daily. BUT, when I read his transcripts, I do agree with his fundamental messages. I know that he offends a lot of people with his rhetoric, but his underlying message is good. I don't subscribe to worship of any pundits or talking heads. I just listen and read. His underlying message is one of love for this country and what it was founded on.

Oh, please. That drop was because of 9/11. You forgot to mention that he also presided over a bigger increase in the stock market AFTER that with the policies he implemented. Quit your propagandist spinning. We know better here.

LOL! It's just fun to mess with the silly obots. Some day they'll grow up and see the folly of their ways. Meanwhile, they're like lepers! They need to be exhiled to a a far away colony.

‘Manchurian Candidate’ Starts War on Business by Kevin Hassett March 9 (Bloomberg) -- Back in the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson gave us the War on Poverty. In the 1970s, Richard Nixon launched the War on Drugs. Now that we have seen President Barack Obama’s first-year legislative agenda, we know what kind of a war he intends to wage. It is no wonder that markets are imploding around us. Obama is giving us the War on Business. Imagine that some hypothetical enemy state spent years preparing a “Manchurian Candidate” to destroy the U.S. economy once elected. What policies might that leader pursue? He might discourage private capital from entering the financial sector by instructing his Treasury secretary to repeatedly promise a brilliant rescue plan, but never actually have one. Private firms, spooked by the thought of what government might do, would shy away from transactions altogether. If the secretary were smooth and played rope-a-dope long enough, the whole financial sector would be gone before voters could demand action. Another diabolical idea would be to significantly increase taxes on whatever firms are still standing. That would require subterfuge, since increasing tax rates would be too obvious. Our Manchurian Candidate would have plenty of sophisticated ideas on changing the rules to get more revenue without increasing rates, such as auctioning off “permits.” These steps would create near-term distress. If our Manchurian Candidate leader really wanted to knock the country down for good, he would have to provide insurance against any long-run recovery. There are two steps to accomplish that. Discourage Innovation First, one way the economy might finally take off is for some entrepreneur to invent an amazing new product that launches something on the scale of the dot-com boom. If you want to destroy an economy, you have to persuade those innovators not even to try. Second, you need to initiate entitlement programs that are difficult to change once enacted. These programs should transfer assets away from productive areas of the economy as efficiently as possible. Ideally, the government will have no choice but to increase taxes sharply in the future to pay for new entitlements. A leader who pulled off all that might be able to finish off the country. Let’s see how Obama’s plan compares with our nightmare scenario. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has been so slow to act that even liberal economist and commentator Paul Krugman is criticizing the administration for “dithering.” It has gotten so bad that the Intrade prediction market now has a future on whether Geithner is gone by year’s end. It currently puts the chance of that at about 20 percent. No More Deferral On the tax hike, Obama’s proposed 2010 budget quite ominously signaled that he intends to end or significantly amend the U.S. practice of allowing U.S. multinationals to defer U.S. taxes on income that they earn abroad. Currently, the U.S. has the second-highest corporate tax on Earth. U.S. firms can compete in Europe by opening a subsidiary in a low-tax country and locating the profits there. Since the high U.S. tax applies only when the money is mailed home, and firms can let the money sit abroad for as long as they want, the big disadvantage of the high rate is muted significantly. End that deferral opportunity and U.S. firms will no longer be able to compete, given their huge tax disadvantage. With foreign tax rates so low now, it is even possible that the end of deferral could lead to the extinction of the U.S. corporation. If any firms are to remain, they will be festooned with massive carbon-permit expenses because of Obama’s new cap-and- trade program. Importing Drugs Obama’s attack on intellectual property is evident in his aggressive stance against U.S. pharmaceutical companies in the budget. He would force drug companies to pay higher “rebate” fees to Medicaid, and he included wording that suggests Americans will soon be able to import drugs from foreign countries. The stock prices of drug companies, predictably, tanked when his budget plan was released. Obama will allow cheap and potentially counterfeit substitutes into the country and will set the U.S. price for drugs equal to the lowest price that any foreign government is able to coerce from our drugmakers. Given this, why would anyone invest money in a risky new cancer trial, or bother inventing some other new thing that the government could expropriate as soon as it decides to? Finally, Obama has set aside $634 billion to establish a health-reform reserve fund, a major first step in creating a universal health-care system. If you want to have health care for everyone, you have to give it to many people for free. Once we start doing that, we will never stop, at least until the government runs out of money. It’s clear that President Obama wants the best for our country. That makes it all the more puzzling that he would legislate like a Manchurian Candidate.
