Congressman Pence and the rest of y’all gettin’ paid by us …

Go play golf, go back to your districts, go kiss babies and take their lollipops . . . . Wait a second, I have a much better idea: Go visit the men and women serving in our Armed Forces overseas and here in the USA.

But whatever you do, PLEASE DO NOT SHOW UP AT THE CAPITOL UNTIL 2 OCTOBER !

Cheers and enjoy yourself !

With all due respect to Congressman Pence and his exhortations to call Democrat reps and counsel them to vote against their energy bill, he’s all wet.

The fact that this bill has even been scheduled for a vote, sans debate, proves Democrat’s complete disregard of the American people. What makes Congressman Pence think Democrats will respond favorably to our pleas? Guilty consciences?

Any Republicans showing up for the vote on this bill will be lending credibility to this fraudulent bill and aiding and abetting the further destruction of our economy and ultimately, our country, by the Democrats!

Bipartisanship and comity be damned. Stay home until the ban has expired!

Certainly applies to the US Congress in this matter.

Best idea I’ve heard in ages.

The joy of “sunset legislation” is that the sun sets. I like Mr. Pence, but for the life of me I can’t understand why the congress has to “do” something.

wished for.

I sent this in an e-mail to my congressman. I may call his office tomorrow as well.

Definitely spreading this around to others that I know.

in the fraud that is the Democrat Political Machine.

House Republicans!
Senate Republicans (are there any left)?!?

Stand your ground. Stand true to your values. And, if you can’t do either of those, ask yourself just one question: Do I want to be reelected?

15 Republicans voted for the bill!

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

Oh ya, NO FRICKING WHERE!

who on the pub side sold us down the river????

Veto it and don’t budge.

We had the ball on this topic, and the country on our side, and if this bill goes into law, we threw it away at the 1 instead of scoring.

I guess a filibuster would be too much to ask? Too many of our Senators have sold out on it. I have the feeling McCain will support it fully, or say something like “It’s a start, but we need to do more” and vote for it.

Very disappointing.

She OWNS this issue.
Let her get front and center and explain to the American people why this bill is an absolute sham.

Forget national security creds. Take her to the UN, let her shake some hands and all, but let her spend the bulk of her time for the next 50 days hammering away at this Congress for trying to put a choke hold on American oil exploration.

Forget bridge to nowhere, e-bay planes, and tasergate. Blast it from the rafters that we have a VP candidate that understand what America’s energy needs are.

LET SARAH BE SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be better for this Congress NOT TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL!

At least, OCS will be free for drilling again by October!

Obama, still reeling from McCain’s barrage of truth campaigning, Mocked McCain on his wanting to start a Commission to investigate the Government’s involvment in bailing out Private institutions. He Mocks it because he is not smart enough to think of that on his own. He mocks it because McCain is right. He mocks it because he is losing this fight. Obama says that what is needed is Presidential leadership, not commissions. Leadership is important, words are empty, especially coming from Obama, whose forte is public speaking. Obama mocks because he has no idea what to do in this crisis. He said that he would be a leader, without saying what he would do to affect the outcome. Words from Obama: EMPTY.
Obama also made a jab at McCain by saying the economy is now bringing the Campaigns back to the issues. Obama says that the petty attacks were detracting from the issues, and now they could concentrate on the election. Of course he would say that, he is the one attacking Palin non-stop, attacking McCain, and this coming from a Senator who said he was all about change. He implicates himself at every turn, exposes himself. When he attacks McCain, he really just exposes himself, and shows that he is not for Change, that his pick of Biden just shows that he is the one that wants 4 more years of Bush.
McCain is right, we should not bail out these private institutions with Government money. Does anyone remember the Great Depression? While that would not happen like that again, we are still struggling, and this situation exposes Wall Street greed and corruption. We all know it was there, and now its out in the open. Just like corruption in politics, we all know its there, and soon McCain will put an end to it. Lobbyist’s are the jackels tearing at the soft underbelly of our government. Obama has taken millions from lobbyists, McCain has taken nothing from them. That says a lot about our candidates.
Obama is all talk and no substance. How could a first term Senator, who has spent 2 years in the senate (and 2 years campaigning for President) get nominated for President? That shows how desperate the Democrats are to find someone who can sway the public to win an election. Everyone knows that the Democrats are corrupt, but morally and fiscaly (and phyically), so the Dems must find a way to pull the wool over the publics eye’s, and they think Obama is the way to do it. A great orator with a rockstar persona, they think that that is enough to impress Americans enough to vote for Obama. They think Americans are stupid, and the star status and mingling with Hollywood stars will give him the street credit that he needs, and people will vote for him. They forget that only young people think this way, and there is no substitute for experience. Unlike the private sector, the Presidential race is not influenced by affirmative action. The President is hired by the people based on who is the most qualified, not by the color of their skin. This is why Affirmative Action is broken. Whoever thought up of that was a Moron. All it is is reverse discrimination, when it should be that the most qualified person for the job gets the job. Instead of Affirmative Action, why not put more money into getting everyone an education, then the most qualified person will get the job, and it may just be a person of color. People forget, that by 2042, whites will be the new minority. Do you think that they will yell and scream about affirmative action, or come up with excuses not to succeed? Will they blame “the man” for keeping them down, the police or anyone in charge for creating an atmosphere of oppression, or for the limited opportunities for those with college degrees? Call me cynical, but I think not. They will not look for ways to dodge success. They will continue as they have, and not look to scapegoat anyone for their lack of success or opportunities. Sorry, truth hurts, but someone has got to tell it like it is.
Bottom line people, there is still 49 days left until the election, and a lot could still happen in that time. We know Obama did not want to tour the country with McCain and have town hall debates because those would have shown Obama’s weakness, flaws, and his empty words. Obamas defense is that people don’t really know him, because if they did, American would not only not vote for him, but they would wonder how he was even nominated to run in the Primaries (sp?). If Americans really knew Obama (we are starting to get the picture), they would certainly question his record on being a Senator. McCain needs to focus on Obama’s empty words and lack of experience to lead this country. Seize on his mocking of a commission to investigate the government’s bailout of these financial institutions, and Obama’s empty words and his inability to come up with a plan. Hit energy independence hard, as this is on the forefront of voters minds. We are in the midst of the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world, and these countries who are profiting from this are using it against us. We must not allow this. We see what these countries do with our money, and they not only use it against us, but it has weakened the dollar. Even Russia is in on the energy boon, and they are experiencing growing pains, and are using the money to re-establish their sphere of influence in their part of the world. We see what is happening in the Caucuses, and in Georgia, and it will continue to happen if NATO does not get Poland, Ukraine, and Georgia (just to name the most prominant, there are more) into the alliance, Russia will take them back over, and democracy will be stamped out in that part of the world. If Germany does not have the guts to stand up to Russia and help a country in need, then NATO needs to be revamped. I remember a time when Germany was in need, and NATO took them into the fold. Now the shoe is on the other foot, and Germany does not remember it’s roots. The Democratic Congress and Senate have not expanded Off shore drilling, and American is losing out on the energy boon, and we are suffering for it. The dems have not done what is right, and they never will. They see everything as a Partisan issue, and use it as a stumbling block for the republicans. The Dems cannot be trusted with America’s future and Security. We need energy independence, because this is a National Security issue.
The election will come down to the issues, and the details. Enough question has been raised with Obama, but now is not the time to back off. Keep the pressure on. Obama is a farce, and the public needs to know. So keep hitting Energy independence, Obama’s holes and blind spots, and his inability to come up with real solutions to the problems at hand. Also continue to ease fears on Social Security and health care plans for everyone. The economy is important, as are cutting taxes. The Dems are panicing, because they are exposed. The public is now seeing the liberal mainstream media as orchestrating this election for the democrats, and it will cost them the election. The public also sees Obama’s attacks on Palin and the attacks by the media. Again, this will cost the Democrats the election, as it should. The Democrats are desperate, and they are making rash decisions to try and get elected. This cannot be tolerated, and putting someone that is a good orator but has absolutely no experience into the Presidential office is unacceptable, and dangerous. In these turbulent times, we need a person that has the experience and foreign policy to help keep America strong, but to also get her back on the path of being strong financially. The only way this can be done is through Energy Independence. If we don’t do this, the terrorists will win. They are already winning when it comes to the devalued dollar. WE must act to stop the hemorraging, and only McCain/Palin can bring the CHANGE and REFORM that WASHINGTON needs.

Get off of your tushes!

If you have a GOP in your area that voted for this CALL, WRITE do anything! I have already sent out a few emails to local talk shows to get them to bring Mr Jones (NC) to the fore front. I will call the stations as well.

MAKE NOISE!!! Blogging here does N O T H I N G

I wrote this weblog on the bill.

http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2008/09/bill-foster-ene.html

In the details of the bill, the Dems want to make major modifications to the way mortgages are underwritten to allow for homes that are energy efficient or close to mass transit.

We are having HUGE problems because there were a ton of loans that were poorly underwritten and now the Dems want to create MORE of a problem?

I was ready to fire off a nasty-gram to Paul’s office about failing to vote against this piece of junk, but even I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. His district and that of Houston’s Lampson (D) are in very bad shape after hurricane Ike. Instead, I believe I’ll write him and urge him to continue staying away from Washington.

Oh that only the MSM would tell the whole truth to the public once and a awhile. Pelosi’s concept of an open and transparent House is such a sham with bill after bill being run down the hall in the dark of night and with crap like this mortage benefits thrown into an energy bill. Shameless.

Without McCain, without Bush shouting from the pulpit, we have nothing. No way to point out that this isn’t a compromise it’s a fig leaf–an obscene deception chock full of pork-barrel, pie-in-the-sky giveaways for dubious and unproven schemes merely to profit politically connected hucksters and con-men.

Everyday that the Republicans fail to present even a pretense of opposition to this phony facade, this meager token, this errant breadcrumb of real progress is another brick in the tomb of truth mortared in by the lies of the left.
