Hey folks,
Happy Sunday. Welcome to the OPNTalk Blog, Big Sunday Edition. Glad you made it. That's right, the Governator himself, is pretty ticked off.In an interview airing Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press, Schwarzenegger says giving extra Medicaid benefits to Nebraska to secure Nelson's vote, critical to Senate passage of the measure, was "like buying a vote." In Sacramento, he says, "it is illegal to do that, to buy votes."
No Governor, it was not LIKE, it WAS buying Nelson's Vote, and YES, that is illegal. But none of what Obama is trying to do with Obamacare IS legal. It is ALL unconstitutional.Schwarzenegger was one of the few Republicans to express support for health care reform, but last week protested the deal that gave Nebraska more Medicaid money but not other states.
No. Arnold is no Republican. He is not even a RINO. But that doesn't matter. He is one hundred percent right on this one.
Nelson said he is asking the Democratic leadership to extend to all states the extra Medicaid money Nebraska would receive under the bill. The House and Senate are now negotiating the final version.
They can not afford to give EVERY State one hundred percent coverage. But then again, they can not afford to do any of what they are doing anyway.
Coming right up today?

IWA For Sunday 011010
OH did you catch this? Reid is apologizing for being a Racist. Well, at least making a Racist remark. You know, one of those things that would be Front Page News, Lead Story on the Local
Evening News for two weeks, and would have the Rev.s calling for his head. If he were a Republican. Since it was Reid, like VP Biden and all his comments, Reid apologizes, and all will be forgotten. Hell, for some of you, this may be the only time you hear about it.WASHINGTON – Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid apologized on Saturday for saying the race of Barack Obama — whom he described as a "light skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one" — would help rather than hurt his eventual presidential bid.
{Laughing} Like the "First, Articulate, Clean Black guy?" They say that Obama accepted.
Obama quickly accepted, saying "As far as I am concerned, the book is closed." Reid, facing a tough re-election bid this year, spent the day telephoning civil rights leaders and fellow Democrats in hopes of mitigating the political damage.
Yet look at the picture. I'm not so sure.
Alright, just a heads up. The Hillary Backing Pelosi's "Chirica" Plan goes WAY long. Do not click the link unless you have a few minutes. My apologies to the reposters as well. I did not want to cut anything out of Hillary's Speech, ICPD's response, nor the history of "Chirica," so it ended up pretty lengthy.
Alright, going to fill my cup. Get your gogo juice and meet me right back here. I'll be right back.

Gotta love the old school Chicago politics! Get-er-done, Obama!
I really am starting to like you Pete. {Smile}
I guess you do not believe in the Constitution? Unless it is someone like Bush violating it?
I hear all the time the phrase Chicago Politics. No. Not this time. This is more like Politics as usual. Buying Votes. Who cares if it's Illegal or not? Tight? As long as we have Politicians without Morals or a Conscience, they can and will b e bought off.
Peter
Did you just admit Bush violated the constitution?
Difference is Obama's trying to help a couple poor, sick people and Bush's action sent 4,662 AMERICANS to their deaths. Jeez.
Politics without conscience?!? You can't have a conscience if you want to be a politician, silly.
Am I the only person who reads this blog? How many hits do you get daily?
Hey Pete,
Did you just admit Bush violated the constitution?
Yes. With all the Bailouts He started towards the end of his term.
Here is something else that may surprise you. I was against going to Iraq. I saw no reason for it, other than maybe finishing what Daddy started. I saw, and wrote about some other VERY Serious Threats facing us at the time. A Guy with a sling shot in the Desert, was not one of them.
This was before this blog, and it was on various sites around the Internet, you may or may not be able to find them. But the truth is, I was against Iraq. I ended up supporting the TROPPS. I will ALWAYS support the Troops.
Difference is Obama's trying to help a couple poor, sick people and Bush's action sent 4,662 AMERICANS to their deaths. Jeez.
You see Pete, THAT is the problem. Obama is NOT trying to help anyone but Obama. The Socialists in Leadership do not want Obamacare to help anyone. They are seeking it for control. This is the way ALL Socialistic Marxist, or Communistic Societies are formed. Out of the need to help.
there is not one Liberal Policy, that has been put in place that has worked. This is the difference between Dream and Reality. All the way back to the founding of the Country. We tried it. Everyone shared land, and all put into a general "Store" If you had excess, you gave. if you had need, you took. It turn out that it failed. They found that it ended up being a few supplying the needs of the many. They changed it into a more harsher yet necessary reality. You don't work, you die. Once Capitalism was enacted, people FLORISHED and abundance was had.
Why I and so many other Americans are so against Obama and Liberal Policies is because HISTROY Proves them a failure, and they are the things that Dictatorships are made of.
Look at the similarities between Obama and Chavez. As I posted here Is The USSA Inevitable? http://opntalk.blogspot.com/2008/12/is-ussa-inevitable.html
As I said before, Hitler could not rise by himself. He had people HELPING him to. Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili {Joseph Stalin} same thing. The Soviet Union would have never been, had not some people WANTED it to be. ONE man, one idea, can do little. They need support. Little Hitler {Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad} is rising right now because there are many helping him. Including some in this very country. Hugo Chavez approved 33 other changes to the constitution.
“We will do what we have to do to approve the constitutional reforms that the president proposes because that is what the people want,” said Iris Varela, a pro-Chavez member of parliament.
Sound familiar? Obama does not like the Constitution. He said that there are too many restriction and it is not conducive to what he wants to do. So? will he change it to make it fit? He could. Chavez also shut down Radio and TV stations. Can you say Fairness Doctrine?
Remember Senator Maxine Waters said this, Thursday 22, 2008, during the show hearing.
"And guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be all about socialize -- uh, uh, would be about basically taking over and the government running all of your companies."
She was talking about Oil. But we are seeing this right now with other Industries by Bush. The latest is the Auto Industry. Conservative Republicans implored the White House not to use money from the $700 billion bailout for the financial sector to aid car makers. A leading House Democrat, Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., said the government should secure veto power over the companies' business decisions as part of any aid.
Continued....
Congress will not vote on it. They WANT Bush to do it. This way, when they take over, Obama can say, "Hey, Bush appointed this "Car Czar" and put these things in place. We just have to improve on them and continue them in the way Bush's own Press Secretary Dana Perino said, 'We're trying to do something that's responsible.'"
Remember what Campaign for America's Future co-director Roger Hickey said?
“Congressional Conservatives and the President are the culprits who have stood in the way of a new progressive direction for our nation”
“A new progressive direction for our nation” SOCIALISM He came out and said it. Well, it does not look like Bush is standing in the way anymore. It looks more like Bush is leading the way. In about 30 days, there will be no REAL opposition at all in Congress. There may not even be all that much opposition against the PROPAGANDA of the Mainstream Media, who simple write and report what they are told to.
Is the new USSA inevitable? It just may be.
Continued......
Politics without conscience?!? You can't have a conscience if you want to be a politician, silly.
Yeah your right. Silly me. {Smile} But that is what got us this far gone to begin with. Seems that, no matter WHAT Party takes over, No matter how GOOD the INTENTIONS are, once they get in, they get corrupted with all that "free Money" floating around. This is why we need SERIOUS Principled Politicians, Adults, to go in there and shake some things up.
Am I the only person who reads this blog? How many hits do you get daily?
I get asked this from time to time. I'll give you the same answer I always give. I have NO IDEA. I write because that is my passion. I do not have a counter. I do not really care all that much how vast my audience may or may not be. No offense to you or anyone else. I would love to have a vast audience, I would LOVE more comments in the comment section, but it doesn't matter in the long run. I write, because I love to write.
I have had some over the years send me "sites" that calculate hits. I remember one just at the end of last year, it said I get ten hits a day. Well, I know that's completely not true. Then I noticed that it also said, last activity was 2007. {Smile}
I get a lot of Emails. I see my stuff all over the place. I have received awards, be highlighted on official Websites. Done Conference Calls with major Organizations ETC. If that is all from just ten people, maybe I should start paying them. They are pretty busy. {Smile}
Truth is, I really do not know, nor do I concern myself with it. I'm glad you are here Pete. I'm thankful for all my readers. It's just that the actual numbers are not all that important to me.
Peter
And thanks to you for answering some of my questions directly.
Once Capitalism was enacted, people FLORISHED and abundance was had.
The thing that's really great about capitalism is that a person can really flourish, especially by exploiting another person and ESPECIALLY by exploiting the land. Especially if you work under relatively limited regulations. I mean, man, you can practically get away with murder in places like Pakistan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Cambodia where you can pay someone 33 CENTS an hour to make your garments. That would totally allow my company to flourish and get an abundant amount of money .
Be careful chasing the dollar. It's the devil.
You come across as a little paranoid comparing Obama to Hitler, Chevez and Stalin. We do have elections here and as long as corporations and lobbyists have the kind of relationship they have now THEY will be the one's in charge. They tell the politicians what to do. Actually, they place the politicians who they tell what to do. Wait, wait... "Once Capitalism was enacted, people FLORISHED and abundance was had." Not only did people flourish but corporations, too!!! Cool! Corporations are even better than people because they can flourish and reap all the benefits of capitalism (especially in a purely free market place) without being responsible for ... well, anything. I wish I was a corporation so I could flourish like that, too.
I do, though, commend you on your Iraq war position. How did we let that happen? (And I love our troops. I also love anyone who doesn't).
Hey Pete,
Be careful chasing the dollar. It's the devil.
The LOVE of Money is the root of all Evil. Money itself is nothing more than a tool. Haiti could really use some right now. Then again, with Obama spending more than we will have for over the next two to three decades, we could also.
An old Wise Man once said to me, "It's a shame. Most spend their whole lives attempting to stay one foot ahead of the grave, and 9 times out of 10, that is what puts them there. Learn to be content with what you have, and you will have more than most."
You come across as a little paranoid comparing Obama to Hitler, Chavez and Stalin.
just dealing with the facts. Obama IS following the same playbook as the other Dictators I mentioned. He IS going down the same road. Why would one think there could be a different out come?
We do have elections here
Were you aware that there are some in congress right now trying to figure out how to do away with Term Limits? Do not take ANYTHING for granted.
as long as corporations and lobbyists have the kind of relationship they have now THEY will be the one's in charge.
Good point. That is why we need an ADULT in charge. One that can NOT be bought off. Corporation do have some pull. Yet YOUR Vote still matters. We have not gone down that road pass the point of no return yet.
They tell the politicians what to do. Actually, they place the politicians who they tell what to do. Wait, wait... "Once Capitalism was enacted, people FLORISHED and abundance was had." Not only did people flourish but corporations, too!!! Cool! Corporations are even better than people because they can flourish and reap all the benefits of capitalism (especially in a purely free market place) without being responsible for ... well, anything. I wish I was a corporation so I could flourish like that, too.
You can be. That's what is so great about America. You could pick up a rock, think "What if" and create a Multi Billion dollar Corporation. With, yes, YOU reaping the Benefits.
Where did you ever get the idea, that Money is bad, success is failure, and Corporations are evil? Seriously. Even Corporations I do not really care for that much, like, Wal-Mart, increased its U.S. charitable giving 10 percent last year to $272.9 MILLION. Cheap prices, Cheap Drugs, Some even have walk in Health clinics now. They DO do a lot to give back. One I do like, WWE, donates MILLIONS, Products, and Personal Time, to MANY Charities and causes every year. Even Big Bad Oil donates Millions, Tobacco, Millions, ETC. Just having Corp. after your name does not make you Evil.
I do, though, commend you on your Iraq war position. How did we let that happen? (And I love our troops. I also love anyone who doesn't).
I have no idea. Why Congress, even the Democrats signed off on it. We had then, as we do NOW, greater threats to us than Iraq.
As for supporting the Troops? I do. I DO love anyone that does. Those that do not? As the bumper sticker says, "Please feel free to stand in front of them."
Peter
Wal-Mart, increased its U.S. charitable giving 10 percent last year to $272.9 MILLION. Cheap prices,
Good thing they get their garments from workers who make 30 cents an hour so they can bring us those great low prices and so they can donate all that money! It's kind of the opposite of redistribution. Except they take from the poor and give to the rich.
Once again I see how important money is to you. It seems to be a common theme in a lot of your posts.
