OBAMA AND THE DEMS NEED TO BE STOPPED! READ THE FOLLOWING AND BE VERY AFRAID:

AN EXAMPLE OF JUST HOW DISHONEST AND UNDERHANDED HIS FOUR YEARS WILL BE!
Daschel says “Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.”

I GUESS HE’LL START WITH SPECTOR, KENNEDY and GINSBERG?

DON’T THINK THIS WILL AFFECT YOU? Think again – you’ll age, your parents are aged and if they need to save more they’ll just lower the age criteria!

The man thrives on analogies and avoids actual concrete information.

“Dr. Mary Pat Jordan February 10th, 2009 – 2:59 pm

Actually, when the town is burning, a few disenfranchised people will always stand with their hands in their pockets and hope the town burns to the ground. Their only hope of ever regaining power is if the town vanishes completely.”

You just described the Democrats support for the Iraq war. Lose at all costs.

Dave, Tn   February 10th, 2009 - 3:26 pm

He rattles off what everyone already knows is wrong with the country better than anyone I’ve ever seen. Funny these dummies clapping think they’re hearing solutions. Why did PMSNBC cut of just before the gimmie questions started?

Dr. Mary Pat Jordan you’re a racist just for posting here. :-\….

yepper   February 10th, 2009 - 3:30 pm

@Dr. Mary Pat Jordan

Yeah and some just like to add fuel to the fire because we all know that a program for for alcoholic indians and birth control for teens SO belongs in a stimulus package. OH wait! That was pork inserted by the Dems…oh geez and here I thought only Republicans did that.

Bottom line BOTH parties have strayed so far away from what they were they might as well be just one party.

“When the whole town is burning, you don’t check party labels”. The Republicans do and always have. Do what has to be done. If the GOP wants to join then that would be great; if not, leave them behind.

Swallaby   February 10th, 2009 - 4:14 pm

I cannot wait for the town to burn down so that it can be cleaned up, and restored to the days of prosperity only seen when Reagan was in office. Also, I cannot wait for the next terrorist attack to take place on our soil while we’re at it. Go Islam, acquire the nuke and let it rip fellas!

Congressional Budget Office predicts that this bill “would reduce output slightly in the long run” and thus NOT increase GDP nor help our economy.

Breitbart, I will take that flaccid hose of yours and give you the ball-draining of a lifetime. I will show you NEOCONs just what a liberal’s mouth is really good for. Hold Still, grandma needs to take out her false teeth first.

I know who I’d like to put a hose to…the one who keeps proclaiming…the house is on fire…the house in on fire…and his answer is…let’s put some more wood on the fire!

In trillions of dollars in debt and the Nation of Islam’s Messiah wants to take more taxpayer dollars on that debt!

GET THE HOSE AMERICA!

Without a doubt,the stupidest prez in our lifetime.When the town is burning you grab a hose,or in this case,you hand the arsonist more gasoline and matches.Maybe they should of practised what they preached when new orleans was sinking rather than staying after 4 days of warnings and waiting for the gov. to rescue them, just like today….dr.mpj…you really need to up your meds or get your arse back in detox.

YOU CAN FIGHT BACK   February 10th, 2009 - 6:10 pm

The Nine Principles
FROM
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/21018/

1. America is good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

Apparently, the only thing the Republican’s have left is to “appear” to fight Obama now. They fake their opposition but are d*** sure things get passed.

The remaining republicans are not really all America haters that, like Rush, hope our country fails for personal gain. They really do care. But it is “country first, party second” for sure!!

Don’t worry about the nuts here Dr. Jordan, “This” is all they have left ;) Nobody is left to cry for the dismally failed neocons anymore…

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 10th, 2009 - 8:26 pm

Excuse me Larse…but Republicans…like me…are not fighting Obama…we are fighting his policies and programs.

We are standing united against the biggest spending bill in the history of our nation. One that, in our opinion, will only create temporary jobs. The only permanent jobs it will create are government jobs to oversee the temporary jobs.

It is filled with “pork” and “thank you’s” and does nothing but saddle our children and grandchildren with a debt they can never, ever hope to repay…that is unacceptable to us and should be to you also as an American!

Rush does not wish that Obama fails…only that his socialist big government policies and programs fail…and so do I.

You are the typical socialist Democrat…spinning…spinning…spinning…to suit your agenda of perpetuating lies about the opposition that just are not true!

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS WELL INTENTIONAL, THOUGH MISGUIDED, FOLLOWERS!

Financial Times (UK): Why Obama’s new Tarp will fail to rescue the banks
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9ebea1b8-f794-11dd-81f7-000077b07658.html

Has Barack Obama’s presidency already failed? In normal times, this would be a ludicrous question. But these are not normal times. They are times of great danger. Today, the new US administration can disown responsibility for its inheritance; tomorrow, it will own it. Today, it can offer solutions; tomorrow it will have become the problem. Today, it is in control of events; tomorrow, events will take control of it. Doing too little is now far riskier than doing too much. If he fails to act decisively, the president risks being overwhelmed, like his predecessor. The costs to the US and the world of another failed presidency do not bear contemplating.

IT STINKS   February 11th, 2009 - 5:03 am

How many of those NEW JOBS will be Census takers who will report to Rahm Emanuel? This whole thing STINKS to high heaven!

How many of those NEW JOBS will be Bean Counters who will work for the New Regime’s HEALTH COUNCIL (a/k/a FCCCERS) and who will monitor what your doctor orders for you and PUNISH HIM (and thus you) if they don’t approve of your medical care? Yeah, this whole things STINKS.

How many of those NEW JOBS will be working for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to create a gargantuan DATABASE of all our health problems and attempts to solve them, so the Feds can SNOOP even deeper into our private lives? IT STINKS!

Oh, and how many of those NEW JOBS will be ACORN workers? IT ALL STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN!

RIGHT NOW 10:07 am est Wednesday 2/11

CSPAN2 continuing coverage of the stimulus bill.

Remember America…continue to call/email the House members and tell them “NO” and especially the ones that are “targeted” in radio ads today in their home states to change their votes to “yes”!

AMERICA…WE ARE THE NECK THAT TURNS THE HEAD…IT IS HIGH TIME WE TURNED IT TOWARD THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER AND NOT A GOVERNMENT HANDOUT!

Here is the list of the radio spot targets :

Senators

Voinovich of Ohio,
Ensign of Nevada
Murkowski of Alaska

Reps.

Shelley Moore Capito (WV).
Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO)
Jo Ann Emerson (MO),
Jim Gerlach (PA)
Charlie Dent (PA)
Fred Upton (MI)

Dave Reichert (WA)
Bill Cassidy (LA)
John Fleming (LA)
Brett Guthrie KY)
Jim Cooper (TN).

Here is my email to them last night:

It is my understanding that you are going to be the target of negative radio ads by the Democrats. I just want to encourage you to stay the course with us in voting “NO” on this bloated “pork” bill. We are proud of our Republicans in Washington as they are standing united against the biggest mistake in the history of our country.

On the other hand, we are disgusted by the (3) renegade Republicans that have joined the Democrats against their party and we, the American people.

This bill is not in the best interests of our country and our citizens. It will penalize and burden our children and grandchildren with a debt they can never, ever hope to repay.

We have heard about some of this “pork” in this bill and we are disgusted by doorbells, ACORN and management of our medical records. This is a special interest bill put together by the socialist Democrats and we are totally against it.

Stand firm…stand with us…we will defeat this together. Then and only then we can work on something that will work…like just concentrating on what got us into this mess in the first place…the housing crisis. One thing at a time…thank you for standing with us!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 11th, 2009 - 12:30 pm

Just heard about the great bi-partisanship on behalf of the socialist Democrats…today…in the House and Senate conference…no Republicans have been invited…not one…America…not one!

Call/email your representatives now…and tell them how you feel!

Pelosi and Reid will let no Republicans in on this conference…they are manipulating the bill again to their benefit!

AMERICA THIS MUST STOP…THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING US ON THE MARCH TO SOCIALISM AND BECAUSE SO MANY OF YOU UNINFORMED, ILL INFORMED VOTERS PUT THESE DEMOCRATIC SLUGS INTO POWER IN THE CONGRESS WE ARE HAVING TO FIGHT…FIGHT…FIGHT!

AMERICA…CALL/EMAIL NOW…DON’T GIVE UP!

They are shutting out the Republicans…they are shutting down the American people…surely there are some good American Democrats left that will go against the takeover of their party by the socialists.

DO IT NOW!

You are overdue for your meds.   February 11th, 2009 - 3:39 pm

Eileen,
Take a double dose…you are repeating yourself!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 11th, 2009 - 4:59 pm

Dear You are overdue for your meds…if this bill goes through…you and everyone else in this country will need a double dose…you can count on it!

To Eileen   February 12th, 2009 - 5:10 am

Eileen, even though we don’t always agree with you, we do appreciate your efforts to mobilize Americans to protest some of the outrages going on! It seems there are new outrages and grave concerns surfacing every day, and Americans *must* watch what’s going on and speak out against the outrages.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 12th, 2009 - 10:55 am

Dear “To Eileen” at 5:10 am…thank you!

I believe that we, Americans, are made up of a special fiber…one that “makes up” stand up when we see wrong.

You are right…every day…every day…something new comes up. Gitmo, the Census Bureau, tax evaders, “pork” bills, everyday!

Never in the history of our great country have Americans had to deal with a daily crisis.

I think that the Nation of Islam’s Messiah is taking advantage of his popularity right off the bat…to get as many of his ultra liberal ideas foisted upon up to overwhelm us so we can’t focus on any one thing…thereby pushing upon us his ultra liberal agenda.

America…they were right about him in the campaign “he” had the distinction of being the most “liberal” Senator in the Senate.

He is now proving that he is the most “liberal” of all Presidents and he received this distinction after only 3 weeks in office!

America…all of us have no course…but to speak up and speak out against what is being foisted upon our country.

That is what makes America great…that her people are outspoken and fighters for freedom and liberty.

The ultra-liberals now want to squelch that freedom of speech in the form of the “Fairness Doctrine”.

They know that Americans are fighters…they know we will speak up and speak out and now they want to squelch that so their “thin skinned” President isn’t thwarted in his efforts to be the “only” voice that speaks.

That, America, is the idealogy of a dictatorship and a dictator.

AMERICA…KEEP SPEAKING OUT AND SPEAKING UP…THIS STIMULUS BILL IS GARBAGE…IT IS GOING TO PUT OUR COUNTRY INTO BANKRUTCY…LEADING ECONOMISTS HAVE SAID SO….LEADING BANKERS HAVE SAID SO AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOW SAY SO!

IF YOU CALLED YOUR SENATORS/HOUSE REPS, DO SO AGAIN…TELL THEM NO TO THIS “PORK”…IF THEY DO IT…THEY WILL PAY IN THE NEXT ELECTION FOR WHAT THEY WILL DO…BECAUSE WE WON’T FORGET…WE WON’T BE ABLE TO FORGET BECAUSE OUR ECONOMY WILL TANK AND WHEN WE CAN’T BUY FOOD FOR OUR FAMILIES…WE WILL REMEMBER…WE WILL NEVER…EVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID AND WHO THEY ARE THAT VOTED FOR THIS BILL!

Kenny C   February 16th, 2009 - 10:11 am

Why does the man keep campaigning….Isn’t he the pressydent?…..do something Presidential…like resigning…..if you don’t know what to do.
