Half the people that would tell you to do something different don’t even have families.
and the other half already have insurance with their employer like me.

Don’t give up like so many men do.

I see that Adam has posted a tax topic, I have not been there yet but I think I will go over there and check it out, you should come too.

Observer, I am thinking about voting for Obama myself, he pretty much only has one issue of mine but McCain does not have any issues of mine at the present, as a registered Republican if I do vote for him it will be the first Democratic President I have ever voted for, I have voted for a Democrat before in the congress but never the white house, what do you like about Obama ?

I thought this article sent to me was perfect- as a reminder-

I can’t believe how much power the Speaker of the House has- how goes the pecking order? If the President goes down, the Vice-President takes over, and if the VP goes down, the Speaker of the House takes over?

As for the President’s duties, the best way to find these without searching is just to look at the Constitution- The Executive Branch- Article II, Section 2-

Susan your statement hit the nail right on the head, both parties are corrupt and not as different as some would like to think.

If they are not one and the same then they are certainly working together. Frick and frack fancy themselves as political operatives, when they really are just tiny cogs in a very large machine. Where they fancy themselves as master manipulators, I see them only as master baiters. Intellectually dishonest cretins that have never had an original thought in their lives…true believers, so long as someone tells them what to believe.

I’ve dealt with their type before, the last time was with some Soros’ operatives before the last election. They were similarly stupid and also refused to share their ‘wisdom’. I seem to recall accusing them of engaging in an intellectual circle jerk with each other. Ah well.

Have a good evening! -Rod-

THE 545 PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR AMERICA’S WOES

BY CHARLEY REESE

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don’t write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don’t set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don’t control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices – 545 human beings out of the 300 million – are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton- picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it.

No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.

A CONFIDENCE CONSPIRACY Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a SPEAKER, who stood up and criticized G.W. BUSH for creating deficits.

The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.

Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow Democrats, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto.

REPLACE THE SCOUNDRELS

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts – of incompetence and irresponsibility.

I can’t think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.

When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in IRAQ, it’s because they want them in IRAQ.

There are no insoluble goverment problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.

Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses – provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess.

With any luck, this endorsement will doom Obama. Farrakhan, and his anal ulcers, have been a diseased team for far too long. -Rod-

We had a big thing about the cheese heroin here on the news too a few weeks ago- some kid died- and then it went quiet– good for Hannity for bringing this issue back up-

I first heard about that cheese heroin maybe a month ago. I was shocked at first then remembered that Tylenol is used in drugs like Vicodin to boost it’s effectiveness. Since they are both opiates, it makes sense that some jerk would add it to heroin. I’d guess that it’s going to kill a lot of kids. -Rod-

Anyway, I appreciate your help. Have to go make dinner now… I’ll look for you later
