Who Voted For Fast And Furious

Well, Representatives Bo[eh]ner, Issa and Roscoe Bartlett (of Maryland), for starters.  Odd that they are making such a ruccus, when they themselves VOTED to fund the effort.  The LAW specifically spells out the gun running tactic, and it funds the entire effort.

The GOP Attacks The Tea Party

Don't be fooled, the (very old) GOP is drowning out the Tea Party, just like both parties will kill any attempt to cut their power. Together the GOP and Democrats are united, in keeping the US in debt (they actually think it will be forgiven) and are attempting to control the world.

I am just glad Jon said he "fought the good fight". Idiot, he has no authority left, go home and have a good holiday...ass.

US House Votes To Extend Payroll Tax-break And Cut Unemployment Insurance

Interesting that 14 Republicans opposed this.  I thought they all hated working class Americans.

There were 10 Democrats who agreed to this bill (probably to say they moved to the "middle") next year during elections?  Vote them out please...they are:

Barrow
Boren
Boswell
Braley (IA)
Cardoza
Donnelly (IN)
Loebsack
Matheson
Ross (AR)
Walz (MN)

Sally Bercow Sluts It Up

It's a real shame we can have anything like this here in the US.  The wife of the Parliment's Speaker poses like this...  Very nice and tasteful.

Since I am a dreamer, I have to get John Boehner's wife Debbie Boehner to pose like this too.

New House Rules, 112th Congress

If you go here, you can read the full text; http://rules-republicans.house.gov/Media/PDF/112-Hres5-CP_xml.pdf

13    (2) EXEMPTION OF CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS
14    RELATED TO THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM.—
15    For any bill or joint resolution, or amendment there
16    to or conference report thereon, that makes appro
17    priations for fiscal year 2011 for contingency oper
18    ations directly related to the global war on ter
19    rorism, then the new budget authority or outlays re
20    sulting therefrom shall not count for purposes of ti
21    tles III or IV of the Congressional Budget Act of
22    1974.

So what the hell does that mean?? Well, it lets the House keep all of the War expenditures off the numbers for the Deficit. It makes them look like they are spening less that they are (the same way they did under Bush). Enjoy being hood-winked by these people YOU elected. About as "transparent" as a sheet of lead.

About Those US 2010 Elections

Just wanted to say; I get totally drunk, then go vote. That way I don't remember what I did, and have no remorse over the next two years.

So GO REPUBLICANS! Hey, at the very least, they all have to work together, right? Simple obstruction will only kill you in 2012. They know this.

As far as Democrats go, they still have the power. Any "undoing" proposed by the House, will be killed in the Senate. It will cost Harry his job in 2012, which is more than fine. I was only happy for his return, because of the alternative (bye bye Engel).

Poor Sharron sails off into the Sunset, and since she thinks the world is flat, she will drop off the edge and never be heard from again. have a good trip.

It will be interesting to see what happens when the vote on raising the National Debt ceiling comes up. John (Orange) Bo[eh]ner will have to get real creative. I predict he increases it, but promises to immediately get out a big knife and start making cuts. He will then embrace everything Obama's Debt Commission (which he opposed) proposes.  He did the same thing with his "Bum-Rush For America".

The Republicans drew the line they have to walk, for the next two years. They pounded "big spending elite" and "government takeover" into people's heads. Now you (John) have to walk that line. Good luck, your own members will revolt, and the Democrats can take a vacation.  The Blue-Dogs can even join with you, and gain a lot of points...

On the up-side, 2012 is looking fantastic, because Democrats can sit back and watch for two years, while Republicans try to live up to their promises.

Woah! John Bo[eh]ner Having An Affair With Lisbeth Lyons??

This would be one of those October moments in Politics...

I guess we will see what the NYT has to say in their story. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/24/john-boehner-affair-lisbeth-lyons_n_738007.html

This was the last story, tying John "tightly" to lobbyists and right wing media. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/12/us/politics/12boehner.html?_r=4&ref=us

John Bo[eh]ner At A Lunch

Yep, you little people "outside big business" can't understand what the financial reform laws do. You don't understand how it will keep banks and credit card companies from raping you with fees to support already rich people. You are just too stupid. So vote for me and don't worry about anything, I will take care of everything. I have been in Congress for 20 years, and look at how much better things are? Look at my tan, and let me show you my golf swing!

Now, this is retired Captain, Justin Coussoule, he sounds very bright. Well grounded. He is running against Bo[eh]ner.

How's Your Stimulus?

You paid for, so look at the results...

Here is the original document from the Bureau Of Labor Stats: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf
I was leery of the passage of this bill, which passed shortly after Obama was elected (see the red dots above). I think it's lunacy to say this hasn't worked? Listening John Bo[eh]ner?

John Bo[eh]ner Is Mike Steele's Best Friend

Mike has to be thrilled to have John around to make statements just as wacky as his own.

After the Ant/Nuke comment last week, John wants to raise the retirement age to 70.

Personally, you had might as well make it 100, so no one gets benefits and congress can just continue to rape the Social Security fund until it's all gone. Then just kill it.

It's a failed concept that just keeps on failing.
