He says what we need to do is what Reagan did.

Take back the Republican party.

“As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name.

America gave him the White House based on the same credentials…”

It will be very difficult, if not impossible, for the Republicans to muster the enthusiasm of enough voters to repeat 1994.

Everyone is familiar with the old saw “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” The Republicans have fooled conservatives more than twice. The country needs a new party that is truly conservative.

Pretty good summary of what is known – how much more is hidden ?

The amount Fannie Mae “invested” in Chris Dodd (D-CT), head of the powerful Senate Banking Committee, presumably to repel oversight of the GSE prior to its meltdown.

Just days ago in Pennsylvania , Countrywide was forced to pay $150,000,000 in mortgage assistance following “a state investigation that concluded that Countrywide relaxed its underwriting standards to sell risky loans to consumers who did not understand them and could not afford them.” True: http://rightvoices.com/2008/08.....n-affairs/

$12,000,000:
The amount of TARP money provided to community bank One United despite the fact that it did not qualify for funds, and was “under attack from its regulators for allegations of poor lending practices and executive-pay abuses.” It turns out that Rep.

$3,700,000,000:
($3.7 billion) not to be outdone, this is the estimated value of various defense contracts awarded to a company controlled by the husband of Rep. Diane Feinstein (D-CA).

It’s becoming a culture of corruption and stupidity. In addition, these folks appear to be above the law. All of the aforementioned are still in office, living like the royalty they think they are. Remember folks: This all happened in just the FIRST QUARTER!

It’s hard to believe the dummies in Congress would vote for something as radicalizing as the health care swindle or crap and tax that might upset their rice bowl but you never know. If they do, I think we will see such a groundswell of anger from both sides once the public realizes what’s happened and the rout will be on. My only fear is that the folks who get voted in to replace the morons presently serving might not get the hint that we the people will no longer be content with “business as usual” and pass some other annoying and or expensive legislation. You would hope they will be smart enough. We’ll see pig, we’ll see.

After the Won™ and all the damage he might do, it’s going to take a lot to restore this country to where it should be. I just hope we’re up to the task.

TAKE IT BACK!!!

That was the most comforting thing I’ve heard sinc Nov 4, 2008.

A rout seems like an inevitablility – with the first shot across the bow coming next week in VA, NJ, and NY.
