Spector, heh.
I pray that this man ends his career in a most humiliating fashion and I pray that God forgives me praying for this.
But please let this man go down and let him be a lesson for every congress critter without a backbone, idealogy or cause...a coward in other words.
Next...may that rich boob Corzine go down, I ask this in the name of Jesus cause these two heartening events will tell those Dems more than most anything else.
Washington DC is one massive public housing program where the charity case politicians are writing the checks on an empty bank account.
Translation: How can I be out of money? I still have checks. OR.... How can I be out of money? I can still vote to spend more money.
Amen, and Amen
There are millions of Americans that have paid into the ponzi scheme that our elected officials have made-off with spending on their pork promises for the next election.
President Bush sought bring in 'freedom' from that government taking and these leftist election after election used the ugly lie that Republicans were going to end their SSI checks. Well the left is now up against the wall in what government has promised and since Bama keeps invoking old women and grandmas that means to me Social Security.
And of course you have every right to expect to get a return on your 'investment' I mean taxation.
I enjoy the bugs as often as I can. Very inexpensive lately. Melt some butter.
Just remember you will have to pay income tax on some of your SS benifits. If you decide to work, you will lose $.50 of your benefit for every $1.00 you earn over the cap (currently $14,100 I believe).
MSNBC is having two left wing experts come out and say REPUBLICANS are losing this because all democrats have to do is sit back and let the screamers scream.
Denial is not just a river in egypt.
(how many vacations does this make for Obama?)
We had TD 4 for almost two days unless it intensifies a lot there is not all that much to it.
I read that Atlantic piece yesterday and it is very good.
His discussion of the price and market distortion was very good. And the example of Lasix was superb.
I liked his solution and have thought of it myself in the past,,sort of an account from which you draw and pay into and even it up at death.
A very good piece and everyone should read it.
He was then discharged at the end of January though in retrospect he was not ready to come out mainly because his consultant was paranoid that as he had not picked up any hospital based infection to get him out before he did. This is causing problems in our hospitals that doctors push patients out early to avoid them catching anything.
In dad’s case he was then taken back into hospital 5 days later and spent yet another 5 weeks there before coming out, this time much more able to cope and has continued to improve at home now being able to walk from the bed to chair and even further down the room. Aim is to get him into the car so that our friend can take him out for a few hours.
Charles Krautheimer admitted he was wrong about the protestros/uproar at the town halls not being helpful to the debate. LOL. Good for him. They are having a huge impact. We need to keep it up!
MSNBC reporterette: “Will it pass this year?”
Democrat spokesman reporter: “It depends on the definition of “IT” “
Token minority reporter: “some save face part will pass.”
Thanks for the link. I did not know how to get to it before.
Yesterday on CSpan they were covering the Conservative blogger convention and John Fund from the WSJ was speaking. He said that he was covering both blogger conventions and that the nutroots convention had a panel that was made up of pollesters. One pollester said, “I am here to tell you the truth and not what you want to hear. The democrats could lose between 20 and 50 seats in the House next year.” Huge, if true.
Corzine is down about 14 points to Christie, looking good so far.
Christie makes fun of him about ethics with a video of the Democrat's arrested for bribery being perp walked a couple of weeks ago.
If I can find the Ad's on youtube I'll post links to them and ping you.
$$$$$
Oh, boy!! Fodder for Rush! = Inadvertent truth telling by a DC insider.
Won't matter,the rats have the numbers. They will use them. Some form of Obamcare will pass. It may be so diluted its not even recognizable, but that won't matter to them. They are all lawyers and will shape shift it later.
Yes...the protesters strengthened opposition to the entire health care takeover effort.
I would say I was wrong last week, but-—as I hoped for-—something changed this week. Rather than visual images of anonymous crowds screaming, there was a new focus on individuals-—both at the town halls and in TV interviews. This week ISSUES re-emerged, the public heard individual’s concerns.
And I totally underestimated the blowback on Pelosi’s tactics. The public got it. I didn’t give them enough credit.
Wild "Bill" seems to be going out to see, we sure hope so anyway.
