Democrat Control...

The Democrats are dying to control everything and have the filibuster proof 60 seats. Nancy Pelosi had the gall to say "Elect us, hold us accountable, and make a judgment and then go from there. But I do tell you that if the Democrats win and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan." Seriously, seriously, more bipartisan? This coming from the "Do as I say not as I do" party? This from the party who does not respect your ideals, or morals, does not respect the Constitution, or your religious beliefs, or gun rights, yet expects you to be compassionate and understanding of their beliefs? This "Compassionate Party" who feels it is their right to murder unborn babies, or those partially born? The same ones who believes that you have the right of freedom of speech, that is unless you are saying that does not agree with their beliefs. Seriously, more bipartisan. I'll take a pass.

Rep. Tim Mahoney...

Rep. Tim Mahoney of Florida has been caught cheating. Yet the media's reaction has played back more of what occurred with Mark Foley, Mahoney's predecessor than the scandal involving the Democrat. Why? Well they need all of the seats they can get for the left. Here is what bothers me, not the media coverage, because that was to be expected. It was Mahoney's statement. Mahoney released the following statement whole sitting next to his wife "I have not violated my oath of office, nor have I violated any laws, and I consider this to be a private matter, I take full responsibility for my actions and the pain I have caused my wife, Terry, and my daughter, Bailey. No marriage is perfect, but our private life is our private life, and I am sorry that these allegations have caused embarrassment and heartache. I have requested that the House Ethics Committee investigate the false allegations that have been repeated in the press. I want to be clear that I have not misused campaign funds and I am confident that when all the facts come to light, I will be completely vindicated."

He then continued to state that the release of this information so close to the elections was "politically motivated." Well I guess everything is, wasn't Mark Foley's outing "politically motivated?" The only difference Mr. Mahoney is that you ran on a campaign platform of "faith, family and personal responsibility." And what you did sir, not only stomps your entire platform, but it makes you a fraud. Furthermore, how "personally responsible" is it when you try and hush your mistress for the elections by giving her hush money?

The left is entitled to do whatever they want, and be as morally corrupt as they'd like, but it is only the right who is held accountable. This does not go unnoticed by the American people, though, and believe it or not they do care.

Update: A second affair has come out of the Mahoney story. It seems the first mistress got upset that she was not the only "other woman" and threatened to sue for sexual harassment. Rep. Mahoney then gave her the hush money so that she would not. Well it seems she will anyways. I thought he said he did nothing illegal? As far as I know sexual harassment is not legal in any state.

Our future....

I have been thinking (and losing sleep) over the future of this country. If Obama is elected, we will be electing a President with self admitted Marxist ideologies. Even scarier is that Congress can be in complete control of the Democrats with no one to balance the power. The Democrats currently hold 49 seats in the Senate, with Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Lieberman caucusing with the Democrats, it gives them the majority of 51. The Republicans have 49 seats, and have 23 of them up for election this year, out of the total 35 whose terms are up. Five of the 23 Republicans are retiring. Democrats are leading in five of the races, and are virtually tied in seven others. If the Democrats were to hold 60 seats or more they will have completely control over the Senate, with the Republicans not having any filibuster power whatsoever. This means that the Democrats do not have to debate any of the bills or topics, they can all go straight to vote, and they hold the power to pass the bills the desire. Tie this in with a Democrat in the White House, one who is a known socialist, and we can have a catastrophe.

This has kept me up at night, it is something that is un-American, because the system is not meant for all of the power to be held by one party. If you couple this with Judge and Justice appointments, ones who legislate from the bench, and it could be the end of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." The further this country strays from the Constitution, the worse off we are. The Constitution is a timeless document that is currently being turned into toilet paper by politicians. The Democrats are especially at fault, but Republicans are not free of blame. The bailout bill is just the beginning of the end, if this country takes the path in which it is headed, it will be worse that the Great Depression, and worse that the Jimmy Carter era. It is time to take our country back, and put the power back in the People's hands.

Chuckie Schumer...

Senator Chuck Schumer stated that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has turned into an extension of the right wing. He attributed this to a pattern of contributions from the organization. While not necessarily true, I think this is a very bad time for Sen. Schumer to say this. For if we use Senator Schumer's logic Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would then be extensions of the left wing, due to their obvious contributions to the Democrats, in large amounts. And due to that, the failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can be blamed on the party they are an extension of. The liberals are always yapping, and their brains, unfortunately work a little slower than their mouths.

California's 8th District

I honestly should not feel bad for California's 8th District, but I imagine that some, and I use that term lightly, conservatives live there. The district has voted Democrat since 1952, and has elected Nancy Pelosi since 1992 as their Representative. With Pelosi's approval rating as low as her book sales, she might not get reelected, but what are their other choices you might ask? Well, Dana Walsh is the Republican ticket, and Philip Berg is the Libertarian on the ballot. The left wing media has stated though that the race is really between Pelosi and another individual, good ol' Cindy Sheehan. It is laughable, but also really sad, when those are your two main choices, why not just move. Forget the fact that the housing market and economy is bad, just let your house foreclose, and move, maybe the bailout package will let you keep your house even if you don't pay.

I understand that this is old news, but the AP ran a story about her.

Go to Dana Walsh's website and donate. It would be great if we could oust Nancy Pelosi.

Congratulations America!!!

The Federal Government is now the biggest landlord in the world! And the DOW dropped by 260 points as the news comes out. It is barely in the green now.

The Rescue Package (Bailout)

Other than the blogs that I have published with who is to blame, and the videos on who is to blame, I have not really put my opinion out on this rescue package. I have heard countless so called "experts" say that it is needed, some say that it is not, I have heard some economists come out and say that it is needed, but we still might go into a recession, and others saying that we will be fine without it. So where could one stand on this, when in reality nobody has a clue if it will work or not? I have taken a few days to really think about this, and how we got here, and that is how I arrived at my decision.

I do not know of any large scale government program that has succeeded. It seems that the larger Washington is, and the more power they have, the more things get screwed up. Just look at Fannie and Freddie, Social Security, Welfare, Medicare and Medicaid, all of them pretty much bankrupt. The IRS was set up as a temporary organization, well it is still here. Why is the IRS still here? Because when the People simply give government the authority to have broader powers, even if only temporarily, they will never relinquish it. Roosevelt's New Deal, was a huge waste of money, and although some attribute us getting out of the Depression Era because of it, it was really World War II that got us out.

The market lost $777 yesterday, the biggest single day dollar amount loss, but it was the 17Th overall percentage loss (more importantly). Today the market has rebounded, and private citizens and enterprises are acquiring stock and companies at a bargain. The free market kind of corrects itself, without the real need for government intervention. The Treasury has already put so much money into the market, and banking institutions, is an additional trillion really necessary?

One thing that bugs me, if this was this big crisis that needed to be passed immediately, then how was Congress able to take 2 days off? It is all a matter of politics. Proof of it lies in the fact, as previously mentioned, that Pelosi told Democrats up for reelection that they did not have to vote in favor of the bill. She knows that the People do not want this. It is all political and the reason why Congress has a 9% approval rating.
