Rangel's Hand Slap

YOU try it.

Hey folks,

"Hey Pete. What do you think about this?"

The House of Representatives on Thursday voted 333-79 to censure Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) for violations of tax and fundraising rules, the first time in nearly 30 years that the House has considered such a severe punishment for one of its own.

Here is the Link Little Green Footballs - House censures Rep. Charles Rangel in 333-79 vote. What do I think? YOU try it. Seriously. YOU try to not file taxes for 17 years, hide a half Million in assets, and go to work and Violate 11 of your company Rules and Regulations. Lets see how YOU come out. Most likely Fired with some Jail Time thrown in.

Less than 45 seconds, a "Shame on you" speech by Pelosi, who could have been reading ANYTHING in the House, and he has to pay some money. Money he has more than enough of from Lying, Cheating, and Stealing. After this, uh, GRUELING, Censure, Rangel comes out smiling and saying this.

"I leave here knowing that everybody knows I'm an honest guy,"

He doesn't CARE. The members of the House really do not care. Now that this is over, they can move on with business. Right?

Truth is, this really means nothing. The only way that Rangel Shamed the Liberal Democrats, is the fact he got caught. They have no Shame. No Morals. No Ethics. They just don't. So this little slap on the hand means NOTHING. Rangel will move on like nothing happened. Like I said. YOU try it. {Smile}

Have a GREAT Weekend folks, see you soon.
Peter

DeMint To The Republican Party: Listen To The People

Your Voice is being heard.

Hey folks,

Demint gets it. South Carolina’s 55th Senator, Jim DeMint is listening. DeMint was on the Hannity Show {Video} on fox when Hannity said, "Mike Castle thinks that you are very wrong about your viewpoint. That you would rather lose and have pure conservatives rather than Republicans who are more liberal or, quote, 'pragmatic.'" Jim's response?

It really reveals who wants the big tent in the Republican Party. All of the conservatives that I've supported who have lost their primaries are supporting the Republican nominee. This is not true for the moderates who lose. They don't have room for conservatives. You see me supporting all of our Republican nominees. They may not all be the same as I am as far as how they're gonna vote, but the Republican Party is the only option we have this time. The Democrat Party is to the left of Europe, and what we're trying to do in this election is reshape the Republican Party where it began: A limited government party, less taxes, less spending.

This lead Hannity to say this.

Well, you got on board pretty early or guys like Toomey and Rubio and Buck, Rand Paul, Joe Miller, Christine O'Donnell. You took a lot of hits for going against the Republican establishment. Is that an indicator of future events and battles to come?

Then so that there was no misunderstanding his words, Jim DeMint told Hannity, that either the Republican Party was going to listen to the American People or they could kiss his, uh, keister. He was out of there.

I don't want to be in Washington another six years and watch the Republican Party betray the trust of the American people again. I mean, we had the White House, we had a majority in the House and the Senate, and we voted for more spending and more earmarks. Most of our senior members seemed to be focused on taking home the bacon. I'm not going to be in a Republican Party like that. What I've tried to do and others like Sarah Palin have tried to do is give Republicans and Americans good choices in the primaries so that on Election Day they can go out and not just vote against someone, they can vote for someone.

We need more DeMints. More people that wake up and look around and say, this is not what the People want, they want this, then go that way. It's not that we want to change anything. It's that we want America to BE America. Period. We want nothing to do with Socialism, Obamacare, or oppressive taxation. We want the Government to FOLLOW the Constitution, not IGNORE it. We want the Government to stay the Hell out of our Private Lives.

Some in the Political Circle seem to think that Obama will move to the Center when the Republicans take over the House and possibility even the Senate. I doubt that. What I see is more Executive Orders, more underhanded Politics, backroom deals, ETC. But that is not my main concern. My Main concern is not that the Democrats may attempt to JAM THROUGH as much as they can during their lame duck session. They WILL, but that can all be undone. No folks, Demint is my main concern. Well, people like him. We need more. My main concern is that of repeating 94. If we have more DeMints, people that are in power, and LISTENING to the People, then we will not. As I've been saying for years, talking the Talk is nice, "We hear the people." "The people have spoken," ETC. But you better be ready to walk the Walk as well.

Seems that DeMint is listening and trying to walk the Walk. According to Newsmax.com - DeMint to Introduce Bill to Defund NPR

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly said Thursday night that “Jim DeMint will introduce legislation to defund” NPR in the wake of Juan Williams’s firing, according to Politico. DeMint's office confirmed to the website that the senator will announce the legislation tomorrow.

The news was also confirmed by CNN’s Peter Hamby.

“This is like the ACORN deal – no more money to NPR,” O’Reilly said. “NPR has now devolved into a totalitarian outfit functioning as an arm of the far left.”

A visibly shaken Williams pointed out to O’Reilly on the show that he was the only black man on NPR.

“I didn’t fit in their box there,” he said.

Karl Rove and O’Reilly also discussed two seven-figure gifts from George Soros, or Soros-founded entities, to NPR and Media Matters this week, Politico reported.

So not only is he talking the talk, he is showing that he is trying to walk the walk. What we do not want from those that get elected into power is excuses. "We do not have enough power or control to override anything, so why bother?" As the old saying goes, it is far better to try and to fail, than it is to not try at all.

Message To Republicans

Wake Up Republicans.

Hey folks,

I've said this all before. Conservatism is on the march. Make no mistake about it. This is why so many Democrats are Bailing. Why so many are distancing themselves from Obama. Why so many Blue Blood Country Club Republicans and RINOs are discovering that they are leaning on the wrong side, and being rejected by the American People. That is also why the Media, the Liberals, and even some Country Club, establishment Republicans, are in attack mode. Why they is insulting Tea Party Members. They KNOW they can win.

There are something like 32 BLACK Conservatives running. That alone puts the template of Republicans being Racist, Chauvinistic, Hate filled, Homophobes, to rest. They ALL want the Tea Party to back them. And the Tea Party is not only backing true Conservatives, they are ensuring their win. It matters NOT what the establishment says.

They, I'm talking about and to the Republicans, they said Christie couldn't win in New Jersey. While he is attacking Unions, and cutting things that the Left and the Media deem "Sacred," he is enjoying a 54 percent approval rating. What is Obama's? The Congress? They say Rubio can't win in Florida. He's up 16 points now in the Republican Senate race. They came out a ATTACKED, again, I'm talking to and about the REPUBLICANS, they came out and ATTACKED Christine O'Donnell in Delaware. AFTER her win, some on the Right STILL attacked her.

We are seeing a trend now. We already know that Conservatism is on the rise all throughout the WORLD. Not just here, but in many places around the Globe. Many have picked up on this. Some have even found that you do not have to have an R after your name to win. All you have to do is actually possess the ability to think. denounce, and reject insanity, and actually run AGAINST Liberal Loon Policies.

Talking about Rubio, he said this Tuesday night in Orlando.

"If we stay on this road we're on right now, if we continue to do the things that they are doing now in Washington, this nation will not continue to be exceptional. Period. We will lose the things that make us unique, that help us stand apart from the rest of the world. This election is not a choice between simply a Republican and a Democrat and an opportunist." (laughter and applause)

"This election is a referendum on our identity. That's what you're being asked to answer here, is who do you want to continue to be? Do you want to become like every other country? Because if we stay on this road, we will. Or do you want to continue to be special?"

Folks, doing the right thing gets you rewarded with the right things. We need more Conservatives, Male, Female, Black White, Red, I do not care Sex, Race, nor Religion. What I do care about is Conservatism, Right and Wrong, and the willingness to actually listen to those putting them into power. Listening to The People. If they DO, they will be rewarded.

Sanity is winning. Forget what you will hear today in the State Run MMD {Mass Media Drones} that simply repeat whatever the White House tells them. This IS without doubt, referendum on the EXTREME Liberal Loon Policies that we have been seeing since Obama and Crew were elected. It IS a referendum on Politics first, People second. The PEOPLE in this country WANT our Country BACK from Politicians that care only for Power, Money and Control. We WANT those in Power that care ONLY about the next election, to go away now. We WANT a Government FOR the People and BY the People. Not in theory, but in Practice. The Arrogant, Selfish, Deceitful, Haters of the REAL America, need not apply. Republicans? YOU had better decide which side YOU want to be on.

Republicans? Stop THINKING you know better what the American People want, and start listening TO the American People. Find and fall behind TRUE Conservatives, and you will win Elections. It really is not that hard a concept. We do not want Socialism. We want repeal, repeal, repeal. We do not want RINOs. We want repeal, repeal, repeal. We do not want Moderates, or Liberal Light. We want repeal, repeal, repeal.

We WANT Conservatism. We WANT people who will not become the Establishment. We want those that will CHANGE it for the better. We do not want to reach across the Isle. We want to DEFEAT the Left, not join them. We want SANITY. There seems to be none on the Left at this time. Not in their Leadership anyway. Now people like Reid are talking about Amnesty again. A couple of YOUR choices of Candidates said that they would work WITH the Left to bring it about. Some of YOUR choice Candidates said that they would work with the Left on Cap and Tax. Some of YOUR choice Candidates have said they LIKE Obamacare. The American People have spoken. We want NONE of it. Are YOU listening?

Earmarks?

Hey folks.

{Laughing}. According to AP -House Democrat warns GOP on earmarks By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer

Partisan sniping over Congress' targeted spending escalated Monday as a House committee chairman threatened to kill all pet projects if Republican leaders "demagogue" the issue.

The chairman, Wisconsin Democrat David Obey, also said that his House Appropriations Committee will publicize proposed "earmarks" before House-Senate conferees resolve differences in the government's annual spending bills this fall.

But Republicans said that offer falls far short of Democrats' January promise to disclose lawmakers' earmark requests before the bills reach the House floor, a process that begins this week.

Remember when I told you this.

Rather than including specific pet projects, grants and contracts in legislation as it is being written, Democrats are following an order by the House Appropriations Committee chairman to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them.

Like millions on Peanut storage tucked into the Iraq War Spending Bill. You know, it’s like that. {Smile} This is just too good folks. They are not even trying to hide who they are anymore. They are operating out in the open and telling you what they are doing at the same time. You had better be paying attention.

They are warning Republicans about it?

The practice of placing earmarks in spending bills has grown in recent years. So has criticism of the roads, museums, contracts and other projects that lawmakers seek for their districts.

When they assumed control of Congress in January, Democrats rewrote House rules to require that earmark requests — and the people who make them — be publicized in documents that accompany spending bills as they are being debated. But Obey earlier this month said such lists would not be available until the House had voted on the bills and readied them for a House-Senate committee for final negotiations.

{Laughing harder}

Obey told reporters Monday that lawmakers have submitted thousands of earmark requests this year. Many will be rejected immediately, he said, but his committee's staff needs time to investigate them. "I'm trying to deal with the reality of the situation," he added.

The reality of the situation is YOU and YOUR party are the Earmark Kings and Queens. You and your party use them all the time. Idiot. Get this. Remember Obey said to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them.

Now?

"The only real opportunity you have to prevent something stupid from happening is to have the protection of the staff, who knows the most about these programs and can flag something if they think it smells," Obey said. "And they need time to do it."

{Sigh}

Have a great Tuesday folks. See you tomorrow.
