Senate Reaches 1000 days Without a Budget

Epic Fail: 1,000 Days Without Doing Their Job. Today marks the 1000th day that the US Senate has failed to pass a budget. The House has created and given them a budget many times, they refuse to act and pass to the POTUS, because then they would be accountable to a decision. TTBO..throw the bums out.


While the next POTUS is very important that he NOT be Obama for many reasons, the Senate is the key. We  must force Reid and his ilk into a new line of work.

Federal Official Pleads the 5th - Operation Fast and Furious - Fox

January 25, 2011: A cache of seized weapons used in the ATF gun-running operation 'Fast and Furious' is displayed at a news conference in Phoenix.

The chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona is refusing to testify before Congress regarding Operation Fast and Furious, the federal gun-running scandal that sent U.S. weapons to Mexico.

Patrick J. Cunningham informed the House Oversight Committee late Thursday through his attorney that he will use the Fifth Amendment protection.

Cunningham was ordered Wednesday to appear before Chairman Darrell Issa and the House Oversight Committee regarding his role in the operation that sent more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa Cartel. Guns from the failed operation were found at the murder scene of Border Agent Brian Terry.


The letter from Cunningham’s Washington DC attorney stunned congressional staff. Last week, Cunningham, the second highest ranking U.S. Attorney in Arizona, was scheduled to appear before Issa‘s committee voluntarily. Then, he declined and Issa issued a subpoena.

Left Sends Attack Lawyers after O'Keefe for Exposing Voter Fraud

Liberal Democrats in the administration are up in arms about James again, this time he is exposing something else these Democrats feel is a right in America...voter fraud.

From Big Government - The left is desperate to quash James O’Keefe’s exposé of potential voter fraud in New Hampshire–and to prevent voter ID laws from being passed and enforced in states across the nation.

On Tuesday, during the New Hampshire primary election, members of O’Keefe’s Project Veritas recorded poll workers from both parties providing ballots in the names of recently deceased voters at multiple polling places across the state.

Google and Others Embrace Vile Attack on Santorum

Anyone familiar with political history (particularly Prohibition) knows that single issue movements are dangerous. If a group of people only interested in one social issue (say Gay Marriage, or Abortion) hold too much sway in the general public, and the media in particular we can get the worst kind of laws and the worst kind of law makers...for long periods of time. Prohibition was one of the stupidest things ever put into law yet it lasted 11 years all because of single issue voting groups holding too much sway in Washington. The Gay lobby and those in the media who give them way more power than than a tiny minority deserves are corrupting our choices for elected officials.  Their newest victim (actually they've been trying to destroy him for years but now it's at a new level) is Rick Santorum. Regardless of how you feel about this social issue, we must get back to sanity and not give credence to idiots like Dan Savage. I do not know how to fix this other than to make voters aware of it, so here it is.

When Rick Santorum essentially tied in Iowa, he gave his campaign new life. He also guaranteed America would finally learn just how disgusting, vile and despicable the left is in this country. And how major news outlets and one of the most well-known businesses in the world – Google – are complicit in trying to destroy Santorum because he opposes gay marriage.

Santorum is the victim of what Reuters partner The Wrap and many other organizations call a “Google problem.” That’s quite the understatement. He was attacked with a Google bomb from Dan Savage, a gay advocate and sex columnist who hates straight people who don’t agree with him. He also thinks they should be silenced, bullied and blackmailed. That’s exactly how he’s treated Santorum.

Why Democrats are Voting for Ron Paul in Iowa...operation chaos II.

I don't mean they are voting for RP because they want him to be president....they want him to win the nomination and lose to Obama. And it would happen because of things like the story below.

Ron Paul/Barney Frank Soros Defense Plan - from Daniel Greenfield at Sultan Knish

Synopsis;

Ron Paul proposed to put a bunch of Soros funded think tank experts in charge of dismantling the US military. Think about that for a moment. And then think about it again. Ron Paul supporters can see conspiracies in a glass of water, can they see anything wrong with this picture? Can they see anything wrong with having a man from a group that was investigated for its Communist ties in the driver's seat on national defense?

The task force's proposals included cutting nuclear deterrence, reducing the fleet by 57 ships, including two carriers, canceling the Joint Strike Fighter. "Severely curtail missile defense". and that is a direct quote from the report. Retiring four Marine battalions. Reducing the military by 200,000 personnel. Cutting defense research spending by 50 billion over ten years. And increasing health care fees for members of the military.

Not only did Paul join forces with Barney Frank to slash military preparedness, but he ended up putting the experts of a foreign billionaire with global ambitions in charge of the project. And that was what he did as a congressman. Can anyone imagine what he would do as President?  Read the rest from Daniel Greenfield at Sultan Knish blog

The Blue Collar Intellectual

GOP has a Message Problem..- STOSSEL explains

John Stossel explains why the GOP is not holding the interest of voters...AGAIN. 

To sum up: While this constituency is deeply disappointed in the president, it is deeply skeptical that Republicans offer anything better. Take the case of the debt, which these voters list as their second largest concern (after the economy). What quickly became clear in the focus groups is that voters see the size of the debt as a proxy for Washington incompetence.

As a result, the constant GOP refrain that Mr. Obama has overspent—the "fiscal" argument—washes over these voters; they are convinced anyone in Washington would do the same. What resonates instead is the "moral" argument about the size of government. Complain to voters that Mr. Obama has "overspent," and they tune out. Explain to voters that Mr. Obama—in keeping with his vision of all-powerful federal government—wasted millions on Solyndra with a loan that impeded private markets and created no jobs, and they are enraged.

"To lock down voters in the middle, Republicans are going to have to convince them that Obama isn't just a flawed and ineffective leader, but that he has an agenda and motivations that they don't share...READ THE REST

SEC Charges Ex-Fannie, Freddie CEOs With Fraud

#fannie #freddie #tcot #teaparty

WASHINGTON -- The Securities and Exchange Commission has brought civil fraud charges against six former top executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, saying they misled the government and taxpayers about risky subprime mortgages the mortgage giants held during the housing bust.

Those charged include the agencies' two former CEOs, Fannie's Daniel Mudd and Freddie's Richard Syron. They are the highest-profile individuals to be charged in connection with the 2008 financial crisis.

Mudd, 53, and Syron, 68, led the mortgage giants when the housing bubble burst in late 2006 and 2007. The four other top executives also worked for the companies during that time.

The case was filed in federal court in New York City.

In a statement released through his attorney, Mudd said the lawsuit "should never have been brought" and said the government reviewed and approved all of the company's financial disclosures.

"Every piece of material data about loans held by Fannie Mae was known to the United States government to the investing public," Mudd said. "The SEC is wrong, and I look forward to a court where fairness and reason -- not politics -- is the standard for justice."
Syron's lawyer couldn't be immediately reached for comment.

According to the lawsuit, Fannie told investors in 2007 that it had roughly $4.8 billion worth of subprime loans on its books, or just 0.2 percent of its portfolio. The SEC says that Fannie actually had about $43 billion worth of products targeted to borrowers with weak credit, or 11 percent of its holdings.
