US Congress Phone Number 202-225-3121 Call Today

Tyrannical treachery continues. Nasty Nancy hasn't blinked yet (not that she ever does). One particularly nasty aspect of this disaster is that we will be taxed for 4 years before any benefits kick in. Would you pay a mortgage on a house for 4 years before you could move into it?

The numbers continue to be daffy at best and as with EVERY government entitlement, the numbers scored by the CBO now will in actuality be low 4 years from now which likely means further tax increases and pushing back the enactment of benefits. Remember you heard it here first.

Fred Barnes in the WSJ illustrates the future under maobamacare, with funding fights being an ongoing fixture henceforth in American politics.

"...if ObamaCare is enacted. Passage wouldn't end the health-care debate. Rather, it would perpetuate ObamaCare as the dominant issue for decades to come, reshape politics, create an annual funding crisis in Congress, and generate a spate of angry lawsuits..."

Along those lines the Landmark Legal foundation has already drafted a suit challenging the Constitutionality of this slimy "scheme and pass" stunt they are trying to sell. Read the draft here. James Taranto has an excellent explanation in the WSJ of how we got here if you haven't been keeping up with the arcane political chicanery that passes for Democratic party control of the Congress.

Peter Beinart has a good op-ed over at the daily beast. In it he makes a very insightful argument about the direction the titular leader of the Democratic party Barry Maobama is taking his party. He seems to be betting that once they pass maobamacare they (Dems) will have achieved an important victory on the road to the soft tyranny via burearacracy that taking over 1/6 th of the economy provides.

Stepen Green has a pretty good take on Moodys threatening to lower our credit rating over at VodkaPundit, if the consequences weren't so perilous; his piece mocking Keynes would be funny. Unfortunately, we are sliding down a greasy Keynesian hole, and are unlikely to be able to claw our way out. These projections Moodys are looking at likely don't take in the full ramifications of Maobamacare.

Heather Higgins and KellyAnne Conway in the Wall Street Journal have some very, very compelling polling data that any undecided Dems should pay close attention to if they value the cushy job they have. In case you missed it; their is a nasty recession on, and jobs for seat warmers are very hard to come by these days. Especially ones with benefits and pay as sweet as you have congressman . They point out 35 swing districts and a very thorough poll showing tremendous vulnerability.

"...Seven in 10 would vote against a House member who votes for the Senate health-care bill with its special interest provisions. That includes 45% of self-identified Democrats, 72% of independents and 88% of Republicans. Three in four disagree that the federal government should mandate that everyone buy a government-approved insurance plan (64% strongly so), and 81% say any reform should focus first on reducing costs..."

I know that since you were elected to Congress and fell out of touch with regular Americans you are unlikely to understand this, but your boss will throw you under the bus. Nasty Nancy might lose speaker of the house position, but her district is unlikely to toss her out on the street. Which means; she keeps warming a seat, you start looking for a job, and cousin let me tell ya' it's tough out here in the real world.

There is a way out. If you voted for the disaster last fall it is not to late to see the light, as demonstrated here.

"... But the survey does provide a little good news for wavering Democrats. A congressman can buy himself a little grace if he had previously voted for health-care reform but now votes against it. Forty-nine percent of voters will feel more supportive of that member if he does so, 40% less supportive. More dramatically, 58% of voters say they will be more supportive of their congressman's re-election if he votes against the bill a second time. However, for those members who voted against it in November and vote yes this time, 61% of voters say they will be less likely to support their re-election..."

Hmmm?? Will Dems do the economically rational thing, or are they going to join 16-20% of America on the unemployment line.

In all seriousness, the number is at the top of the post.

Call it.

Often.

Tyranny of Bureaucracy

Excellent read at the StarTtribune, that echoes a theme I have been on for years. A tyranny of bureaucracy that threatens to strangle the republic. Fat cat gov't employees with cushy make work jobs who; because of their union, are absolutely untouchable, and unaccountable to any normal job performance standards.

The article compares the gov't employee meltdown problem in Greece and compares it to the US, and several states notably California, which also is currently under the fiscal death grip of gov't employees unions.

Nothing but the best for our civil servants right? Retirement at age 50? $100k in pension payments/ yr , really? Gold plated healthcare plan? Nothing but but the best for you bureaucrat. You deserve it! Why, all that paper pushing, napping, complaining. Hey, I get it. To paraprhase Dolly Parton; it takes lots of work to act that surly.

I am posting from mobile svc this morning , and will revise this post later, meanwhile this is a must read.

Rachel Maddow is Keith Olberman in Drag

MSNBC socialist hack Rachel Maddow just grossly distorted Tom Tancredos call for a CIVIC Literacy test during his keynote speech at the Tea Party convention in Nashville, TN this past weekend. This distortion was perpetrated by omitting the word C I V I C. Instead Maddow refers to the speech by claiming Tancredo called for a literacy test; with N O mention of the word civic. I am Posting this from mobile device and am unable to grab the video but any resourceful BumperStickerPolitix reader can go to the MSNBC website and download the show.

While it is unlikely such a policy would, or politically ever could be implemented, I for one support the idea. With a civics literacy test a requirement, the morons you see in Jay Leno's man in the street interviews with people who can not tell you the number of states in this country; or what war Lincoln presided over, or for that matter how to correctly pronounce the phrase "Navy corpsman" would not be allowed to vote.

In fact, I will go Tom Tancredo one better; if you have been on any type of government assistance for more than 30 days and are still on any type of public assistance, you would be barred from voting. This does not involve race; it involves good sense, and would discourage people from voting in representatives whose only policy goal is wealth redistribution for the purposes of ensuring their own re-election.

This is one of the reasons why our country is a REPUBLIC and N O T a democracy. In a democracy these morons always, always wind up voting in wealth re-distribution in which they are the beneficiaries.

Maddow is well enough informed to understand the distinction created when she omits the word, and instead deliberately and with malicious intent tries to stir the racism pot by claiming Tancredos policy proposal is like the literacy tests of the Jim Crow era. Shameful.

GOP Response

I like the venue, delivering the GOP response in the VA state house. Much, much better setting than last years awkwardly staged response from LA gvrnr Bobby Jindal.

It is also very telling symbolism that the GOP response is being delivered by just one of the many REPUBLICAN recipients of chairman maobamas campaign efforts.

Quoting Thomas Jefferson in the VA state house. Excellent.

Important contrast of different parties approach to security by pointing out the maobama administrations handling of the Christmas day bomber vs the way enemy combatants were handled by the Bush administration.

A Pickup Truck Load of Snotty Sarcasm

To read this opinion piece at the NYT; one might conclude that the ever bitter Maureen Dowd has a crush on MA Sen Elect Scott Brown. See, I can be too sarcastic by half also. All while driving at the truth obliquely. Just watch this.

Here, hold my beer.

Mo-Dowdy serves up a pickup truck full of sarcasm, demonstrating once again that she is probably wayyy too nasty, and cynical to be able to actually keep a man around for very long. The giveaway is that she mentions Scott Browns pickup truck in the piece. This is a dead giveaway of her elitist contempt. Most elitists cannot resist a pickup truck. They are drawn to them like a cat to catnip. Like a bureaucrat to a nap. Like a welfare cheat to guvmnt cheese.

An elitist sees a pickup truck and begins doing a Pavlovian Spit Dance in their mind (resembles the pee-pee dance, only it is of the mind) and usually find themselves unable resist the opportunity to show off their self-imagined superiority to anyone within earshot. They think to themselves.

"Why, look at that rube"

"Hillbilly"

"Where did you leave your hooded sheet?"

Really though; I think she has a crush on MA Sen. Elec Brown (say, that has a nice ring to it, don't it lefty?). She's too glib to admit that; so she pulls hair, just like she did when she was in the third grade.

By the way Mo-Dowdy, if you really want to get all worked up, you should see SpinDaddys truck sometime.

I know. I know. Try to remain calm. Too funny.

James Carville Fool for Hire

James Carville demonstrating once again the utter lack of any new political ideas on the left in this piece at the Financial Times. Carville suggests with a straight face that maobama needs to blame Bush more.

No really.

Ok, as soon as you have picked yourself up off the floor you should read the whole thing. Two points in particular are stunning in their audacity, and of course lack of context.

"...It was under Mr Bush that the deficit spiralled out of control as we fought an unnecessary and endless $3,000bn war in Iraq and enacted the largest unfunded entitlement programme in history with the Medicare prescription drug benefit..."

Really? Has cahirman maobama ended this war as he promised on the campaign trail?

The unfunded mandate that is the prescription drug care benefit?!!

Are you serious?

Has Carville been hiding in a cave with Osama Bin Laden? While I was and still am opposed to the prescription health care benefit, Carville expects to be taken seriously while citing this as an example of government foolishness? Has he missed out on the entire maobamacare debacle? Maobamacare makes the prescription drug care benefit look like chump change in comparison.

Let's hope that the White House takes Carvilles advice, and maybe for a bonus they could send him out to campaign for all the open Democrat seats this fall. That seems to be working about as well as blaming Bush for everything that is going wrong today, one year into chairman maobamas reign.

Barry Maobama In His Own Words

SpinDaddy is getting a major kick out of the Fox News special on now that features chairman maobama when he was candidate maobama, and contrasting that with his actual record one year later.

Hmmm.

It seems that one year ago chairman maobama was blaming President Bush for everything, much like chairman maobama was doing earlier this week to explain why voters elected a REPUBLICAN to the "Kennedy-Seat" in MA earlier this week.... Oh wait a minute, now I understand, President Bush was often seen at his ranch in TX driving a TRUCK!
