Is Rush Limbaugh the new spokes person for the Republican National Committee?

As I have written in the past, this new attack from the White House to portray Rush Limbaugh as some sort of leader of the republican party was simply a ploy to divert attention away from the Obama administration's many blunders and policies that seemed designed to shred the constitution of the United States.

When the Obama White House first invented this scheme and it hit the airwaves, the obvious question popped into my mind. Why are they trying to make this sound like a bad thing? Rush Limbaugh has been a nationally syndicated talk show host, who is recognized by almost everyone in America, if not the world.

Everyone in America (if not the world) knows what Rush's policies, views and beliefs are. On the other hand, as little as a year ago, I had never even heard of Barack Obama. Although a member of the senate, he rarely attended, and when he was present, he voted "Present" on most issues. (not yes, not no)

To this day we (the American people) still don't know what his beliefs, views and policies are. To this day, there is still controversy over whether he is a true American citizen or was actually born in the USA.

So, for the Obama administration to imply that Rush Limbaugh leading the republican party in any way is somehow a bad thing, seems to resemble the "Pot calling the Kettle Black!" Aside from the intended diversion it was meant to be, the logic of this move escapes me.

Considering the facts about both Barack Obama and Rush Limbaugh, who do you think is actually more qualified to lead this entire country, let alone just one political party? Who has been the most transparent? Which one of them, when finished speaking, do you have to wonder "what they said" and "Did they mean it?"

Surely the White House must have more important things to deal with than Rush Limbaugh. God help us if they don't!

Barney Frank - who chairs the House Financial Services Committee, called Supreme Court Justice Scalia a "Homophobe".

To my knowledge, Justice Scalia did not say anything to provoke such an ugly statement. What are we supposed to make of this? Does this mean that everyone who simply disagree's with Barney Frank is a homophobe also?

Because Barney Frank is a homosexual, does that mean we should "all" be homosexuals? (I'll Pass) Or, is Barney Frank just a "Paranoid old man?" After all, if you think about it, Frank (lets just call him cocktail frank) wasn't even responding to anything Justice Scalia said, he just called him that hateful name because he thinks Scalia won't agree with him. "Talk about PARANOID"

Is this really the kind of person who should be a Congressman? Not to mention head of the House Financial Services Committee? We expect better from our representatives, though we seldom get it. Barney should be coming up for re-election soon - Let's help him OUT!

Americans outraged over bonus`s paid to AIG executives, who never should have been bailed out in the first place!

The amazing thing here is that Americans are outraged over the bonus`s, but not outraged over the Democratic bailout that dwarfed it financially. It was the multi billion dollar bailout, that made these comparatively small bonus's possible!

Think about it! We rewarded AIG with billions for simply "doing what they do", but, we want to tar an feather them for "doing what they do" over a few million. Folks! This is obviously a smoke screen! A diversion! Something to distract your attention away from the real problem, just like the Jay Leno appearance! (wake up)

I came across this poll on a website. In the typical liberal fashion, it diverts attention to anywhere except where it should be. The first question in the survey was:

Who is most to blame for America’s current economic crisis?
1. Clinton Administration and the Democrats in Congress
2. The Bush Administration (who had to work with a democratic congress)
2. Wall Street
3. Banks and sub-prime lenders
4. Real estate and mortgage professionals
5. Investors
6. Home buyers

Isn't it fascinating that these liberal websites totally leave out the real cause of this current economic condition as even a choice? Shouldn't number 1 have read: "Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress?" (amazing!!!!)

These AIG exec's were simply doing what they had agree'd to do. They stayed on, instead of leaving, performed a particular function, and were promised a bonus for doing so. That is the American way! They had an agreement, they honored it, and now they are being punished for doing so.

Most of these exec's could have moved on to other companies that "were not" being bailed out by the tax payers, but chose to stay because of the promise of reward. (or bonus) The Obama administration is good at pointing the finger, however, when you point the finger at someone, you always have three fingers pointing right back at you! This especially applies to the Obama administration.

These AIG exec's simply did what they agree'd to do. If you want to be mad and blame someone, start with congress. If left alone, AIG would have filed for bankruptcy and no bonus's would have been paid. They would have had to re-negotiate contracts, tighten their belt, cut a few corners, and possibly have been over the worst of it by now.

If you've ever lived on a farm, you know that if you watch a baby chick hatch from the egg, you have to do "just that" if you try to help them by breaking the egg shell open to get them out, ... They die!

It is the same with government! "Government Does Not Help Success" Government only makes people dependant on the rest of us.

Anger and outrage is a good thing, but don't waste it on the innocent AIG people. Show your anger in the 2010 and 2012 elections. Vote everyone out of office who voted for the 787 billion dollar spending spree (stimulus bill) that didn't even read it! That by the way includes EVERY ONE OF THEM!!

It doesn't matter what political party you happen to favor, if they voted for this bill, get rid of them! Almost "all" of the democrats voted in favor of this bill. (find out who didn't and keep them) All republicans except for three voted against it.

Those three are Collins and Snowe from Maine, and Arlen Specter from Pennsylvania. KICK THEM OUT!!! If you want to show your rage, show it in the voting booth, not by threatening AIG people for doing what they agree'd to do. (the agreement with a democratic congress - by the way)

WHAT IS UN-AMERICAN?
That "Zany" Nancy Pelosi has done it again. What a card huh? She said that when immigration officials carry out their duty "Work site enforcement", they are carrying out raids!

Saturday evening at a church in San Francisco’s Mission District, Nancy stated that these (so called) raids, must stop. Ms Pelosi stated that these immigration raids and deportations, separate parents from children across the United States.

She also stated that this is "Un-American" Many Americans, including myself, find it frightening, that the speaker of the house of representatives, does not seem to be able to grasp exactly what is american, and what is un-american. How can she hold that particular position for so long, without knowing the difference?

This should be a "No Brainer", even for Nancy, but lets clarify for her, exactly what is un-american. One definition of the term "Un-American" can be summed up in these two words. The first word is "Illegal" and the second word is "Immigrants".

If an immigrant (person here from another country) is not yet a citizen of the United States, he or she is "Not" american! Therefore, can be considered "Un-American". These people have not been singled out or picked on. If they are separated from their children, it is because, they have broken the law. (thus the word "illegal") They receive the same treatment as everyone else.

One of the reasons that you and I do not rob banks or even a 711 store is because, "It is against the Law" Further more, if we are caught, we will certainly be "separated from our children" and sent to jail. This is so easy, even Nancy should be able to grasp it!

So, who is un-american? Is it the person that breaks the law? Or is it the policeman and judge that separates them from their children for breaking the law?

It is sad yet bitterly funny that more and more americans simply use Nancy Pelosi's resume as an arguement for "Term Limits".

THIS IS THE BEST ARGUEMENT FOR TERM LIMITS!

Nancy Pelosi has represented California's Eighth District in the House of Representatives since 1987. The Eighth District includes most of the City of San Francisco including Golden Gate Park, Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown. In 2002, Namcy Pelosi was elected Democratic Leader of the House of Representatives. On January 4, 2007, Pelosi was elected Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. (Does anything more need to be said?)

Following a conference with economists, Tuesday, March 11, 2009, Nancy Pelosi suggests, yet another possible "Spending Spree Bill"

The ink isn't even dry on the 1100 plus pages of the first 787 Billion Dollar spending spree, decievingly named a "Stimulus Bill", and now, Nancy Peloci suggests another one may follow soon. This is not to be confused with the 410 Billion Dollar Omnibus bill that is currently working it's way through the house and senate.

The American family has barely had time to receive their next pay check since the last stimulus bill that cost $18,000.00 per family, and now there is talk of another spending spree?? (again, that is not counting the current Omnibus bill)

Now, I don't want you to worry about Nancy Pelosi, she can afford it! After all, it's not her money she's spending, it's yours! You should be used to it by now. If you are a tax payer, "you" paid over 1 million dollars last year so Nancy could fly coast to coast on an air force jet, when it pleased her.

More and more Americans are getting fed up with this congressional recklessness every day. This is obvious by the "Tea Party Protests" springing up all over the nation, in the spirit of the "Boston Tea Party", that took place December 16th, 1773.

If you have really had enough, there "is" an alternative. An alternative "now". Republican Senator Vitter (LA) and republican congressman Shandegg (AZ) have proposed what is called the "No Cost Stimulus Act of 2009".

This Act proposed by Vitter and Shandegg will "not" cost us 787 Billion Dollars! It will "not" cost us 410 Billion Dollars! Matter of fact, it won't cost the tax payer "anything!!" You read correctly - Zip!, nada!, Zero! Less than one cent!! (Did it sink in yet?)

The draw back to this plan is: "It won't cure the smell of pig sh*t", "It won't provide a train to Disney World", "Government buildings will have to scrape by with last years furnature" and "we won't learn anything new about the breeding habits of salmon!" (Bummer) However, it "will" create 2,000,000 (two million) long term jobs!

(Gee - This is a tough decision! Do I want both of Nancy Peloci's spending spree bills, or do I want "this One"? - I just can't decide)

Excerpt from Human Events

The bill proposes opening off-shore drilling and Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) zones by not only lifting moratoriums, but mandating the government to move forward with their lease programs on the land. As stated in section 203 of the bill specifically, it is required that the first lease sale occur within 22 months after enactment of this bill.

I believe we are going to see the biggest change America has ever seen in the house and senate, starting with the 2010 elections. American tax payers are furious and I believe they will finally get off of there butts and vote these people out of public service.

For too long, we have hired these people to represent our interests in the house and senate, but once they hold the position, they treat us with contempt, doing as they, or their party pleases. Once they are elected, we don't seem to count any more. This "Will" change! Change we can "REALLY" believe in!

These people that "we" employ, may not care about us, but they do care about keeping their jobs! When the No Cost Stimulus Act of 2009 comes to the floor for a vote, write or call your congressman and senator. Let them know that you wish them to vote in favor of it and repeal the Nancy Peloci Bill.

In a kind and respectful way, let them know, if they stay on their current course, you and allot of other people will make it your mission to retire them.
