"1984 may have come a bit later than predicted, but it's here at last. ... Some day, soon, we may wake up and find we're living in Oceania." Chief Judge Kozinski (Reagan appointee), dissenting against this horrendous decision.
Senator Baucus admits to not reading bills he votes on
“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language. We hire experts.” Senator Max Baucus, Democrat, Montana, August 24, 2010
You are a disgrace to the title "Senator" and should be ashamed of yourself. Senator Baucus should resign.
Will McCain fool Arizona voters once again?
The headline AP "McCain, Tacking Right, Seeks Primary Victory" says all you need to know to understand Senator McCain. When you have no core values and no core principles, it is easy to "tack right." McCain is a duplicitous politician who is willing to change his views depending upon the direction of the wind in order to retain his power. The McCain voting record speaks for itself and it is foolish to think that "this time is different" and McCain won't turn into a RINO after the polls close today.
Racist Senator Harry Reid’s “tone darker” racist comments
"We are a nation of immigrants. So because the wave of immigrants we have now -- their skin's a tone darker than ours -- doesn't make it any different." Harry Reid, August 11, 2010
1099 Your Freedom Away – Reporting everything to the IRS with 1099s
Beginning January 1, 2012, you will be required to report just about everything to the IRS. There has been some discussion recently about this in relation to gold, but it applies to everything if you purchase in aggregate over $600. In other words purchases that add up to more than $600 over the course of a year require IRS form 1099 to be filed. It applies to "all persons engaged in business." Clean someone's house? Mow a lawn? Write an article? Write a program? Graphic design? Realtor?
So if a person buys a computer on January 1st for $399, paper and ink and printer for more than $202 on December 31st of that year from the same person or business (flea market, Bill's Computer Condo, Office Depot) for their office, they are required to file IRS Form 1099. Forgot about it over
Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats.
Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.

Kagan Declines to say government has no power to tell Americans what to eat!
When asked to state whether the United States Constitution allows the Federal Government to mandate that people consume certain foods every day, Kagan would not say it did not. So much for the concept of "enumerated powers," "limited government," and the entire Constitution. Kagan has obviously no interest in the Constitution itself, merely her own power. What a disgrace to the concept of a Justice. Her view is judging by whim, not law.
Fascism at its best. Despots, tyrants, marxists, socialists and other dictators would love a woman who believed there was nothing the government couldn't do - from ignoring the First Amendment to telling you what to eat.
Crist – a dishonest, unprincipled, power-hungry, lying, opportunist of a politician.
Crist complains it is "lonely" on the campaign trail and that his "friends" didn't support his change of party. A betraying politician and doesn't understand why. Crist's problems are multi-fold:
1. He lied to voters and his "friends" in the Republican party repeatedly in 2010. When it didn't look like he had a chance of winning, he broke his repeated promises. Now he doesn't understand why any one with an ounce of honesty and character wants anything to do with him? Well, that just adds STUPIDITY to Crist's flaws.
2. Crist ran on a party with principles based on freedom and then betrayed that. It shows Crist has one principle: POWER FOR HIMSELF. If he thinks that party is "too far right" it means that he is willing to sell out some of your freedom to gain power for himself instead of defending liberty. Who wants a politician who is more concerned with his own power than your freedom?
3. "Lonely"? Come on, be a man Charlie. Stop crying about the consequences of the choices you made. We elected someone who complains about being "lonely" on the campaign trail? Come on, how old is Charlie Crist? Four? Five?
4. Crist didn't leave because of principles, he left because he couldn't win. Hearing Crist talk about principles is like hearing Mao talk about his fondness for liberty. Why would ANYONE vote for someone who has NO PRINCIPLES? You will have no idea who you are voting for, except someone who will do what is best, best for himself that is.
Sorry, Charlie, Florida wants politicians who are (a) honest, (b) keep their word, and (c) are willing to fight for freedom, not power. Crist is none of those: he is an dishonest, unprincipled, power-hungry, lying, opportunist of a politician. And since he doesn't understand why he is unpopular after lying repeatedly to the citizens and voters of Florida, he must be stupid too.
