		<title>Can We Change the Speaker of the House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>From CNS News:<br />
&#8220;Boehner Won&#8217;t Rule Out &#8216;Balanced Budget Amendment&#8217; That Permits Unlimited Federal Spending&#8221;</p>
<p>Is there any way, other than elections, to remove the &#8220;Speaker of the House&#8221;.<br />
Not necessarily from office. Just that position.</p>
<p>Mr. Boehner is showing the country that he is not conservative and has no real desire to fix any problems.<br />
He is demonstrating that he is a &#8216;Good old boy&#8217;, lifer, politician that is more concerned with keeping the status quot for the operations of the ever expanding U.S. Government over the needs of the country.</p>
<p>I am just wondering. Can we take Mr. Boehner and Mr. Kantor and put them both at the bottom of the list?</p>

		<title>Florida Announces January Primary &#8211; HUH!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>So Florida has a primary in January.</p>
<p>Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina then soon follow. ALL vying for the right to declare that they are THE state that has chosen the next President.</p>
<p>I say they are jumping the gun. Buying the first distribution of IPad. We know now that the newer IPads are much better. Faster, cheaper, more capable. The difference here is that once the primary is over, you cannot chose again. After voting in January, what can you do when C. Christie or S. Palin or  &#8216;your favorite Conservative goes here&#8217; jumps into the race. What do you do. You chose the best of the worst. You are done. Completed the task. An now must live with the fact that you have chosen a lesser candidate than your &#8220;best choice&#8221;. In effect, you let me actually perform the selection.</p>
<p>This is rediculous. I have to believe that it is being pushed heavily by the Liberals to narrow the choices and give them more time to dig up dirt. This is a ploy against our better judgement. Not an aide for it. This is a plan to get a quick result for a difficult decision.</p>
<p>Watch the polls from day to day, from week to week, and from month to month. Does anyone here really believe that we, the Conservative or the true Republicans, has actually narrowed our search! We are vetting candidates day to day. We are finding their weaknesses and strengths. We need more time.</p>
<p>OK, put it this way, if you had 14 months to live, would you really chose to go in 3?</p>

		<title>Our President is Not Aware That he is a GUEST in Congress?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Based on the atricle below, Mr. Obama is not aware of the fact that he is NOT allowed to just saunter into the House chambers without an appointment. It is rather uncouth of him to assume that he can just order Congress around as he does below. And that he only has 1/3 of the power. Not a larger 1/3, but exactly 1/3 of the governmental power.</p>
<p>And, this speech has been put off for at least 6 months. So obviously there is no hurry.</p>
<p>Sit down Mr. President, make a polite request and wait your turn. Sept. 8th is just fine for your antics and &#8216;Same-old, Same-old&#8217; worn out speech about taxing the rich, tormenting business and taking jobs from the private sector only to give them to your friendly neighborhood Union Workers.</p>
<p>Yup, we heard it all before. And frankly, no one really cares to hear it again.</p>

		<title>Boehner, It&#8217;s Time To Move On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>In an interview with CBS News (RE: ﻿﻿<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/01/eveningnews/main20086598.shtml">http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/01/eveningnews/main20086598.shtml</a> )</p>
<p>The question was put to J. Boehner:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Pelley:</strong> You were unable to get your own caucus behind your bill a few days ago. Do you intend to remain Speaker of the House?&#8221;</p>
<p>His Answer:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Boehner:</strong> I do. When you look at this final agreement that we came to with the white House, I got 98 percent of what I wanted. I&#8217;m pretty happy.&#8221;</p>
<p>WAIT Just One Minute. J. Boehner got 98 percent of what HE wanted. He only got about 10 percent of what WE wanted. And he works for us. I think from this answer alone, we can determine that Mr. Boehner should realize it is time for him to step down. We put him there through our votes last November. Our votes, by all accounts, were votes of UNSATISFACTION with the SOP of all of Government. We wanted fiscal responsibility. We wanted fixes to entitlements. We wanted restraints on the President&#8217;s spending. We wanted a muzzle on the check signature hand of Congress.</p>
<p>What we got is a deal to cut $100B a year for 10 years and a raise the the debt limit borrowing capacity of Congress for $2.8Trillion. That means that borrowing is 28 times larger than reductions.</p>
<p>THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WANTED!</p>
<p>Mr. Boehner, with all due respect, It IS time for you to step down.</p>

		<title>Only In America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>No, not the song from West Side Story.</p>
<p>Today we wake up to learn that the concrete workers union, which is working on the &#8220;Freedom Towers&#8221; in New York, are on strike. Apparently they believe that they should get a raise during these wonderfully fruitful fiscal times.</p>
<p>Ok, so we have come to expect that. The Unions, all of them, operate on the same rules as our President. Me, I, My.</p>
<p>But we also can discover that the &#8220;Ground Zero Mosque&#8221; is still moving forward. Still fund raising. Still working to sway city ordinance.</p>
<p>This county is doomed. We have the collective attention span of a 1 year old child. Our ability to focus on what is important or necessary lacks the maturity needed to sustain our beliefs and our country.</p>
<p>&#8220;Freedom Towers&#8221; on hold because of the selfish Unions and our apathy. &#8220;Ground Zero Mosque&#8221; in full swing because of our apathy.</p>
<p>Only In America.</p>

		<title>U.S. Contingency Plan Gives Bondholders Priority</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>this is rather interesting.</p>
<p>When We The People took over a couple of Private auto manufacturers, the bond holders in that deal did not get priority treatment. They were left holding the bag. The President&#8217;s friends and funders got priority.</p>
<p>I wonder if &#8216;Bondholder&#8217; is a secret word for &#8216;friend&#8217; or &#8216;financier&#8217;?</p>

		<title>Judges Make Laws?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>According to the absolutely ignorant H. Reid,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;the Democrats need Goodwin Liu on the federal bench because “the court  of appeals is where law is made, and we need the finest minds in the  world for that.”&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Funny, I thought it was their job to interpret/enforce the law.</p>
<p>I guess Congress has given up this Constitutional requirement, and handed it over to the courts. Perhaps Congress (H. Reid) has their hands full just trying to &#8216;Redistribute my Wealth&#8217;.<br />
What a moron. One of only Constitutional reasons for having H. Reid, and he wants to give it away.</p>
<p>Perhaps we can, based on this new &#8216;redistribution&#8217; of Congressional jobs, now get rid of H. Reid. That sounds nice.</p>

		<title>What About the Baby Boomers?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Unemployment to 9%</p>
<p>Jobs Created (?) 244000</p>
<p>Baby Boomers retiring at the rate of 10000 per day, 300000 per month.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that just a little bothersome? We are not hiring at a rate to replace boomers entering retirement.</p>

		<title>None Too Rich or Too Poor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>During his 2008 campaign, B.H. Obama declared that no one should be too rich or too poor.</p>
<p>He also pointed out that he believed in transferring the wealth. Spread it around. Paraphrasing, &#8220;Take from the rich and give to the poor&#8221;.</p>
<p>But I find this rhetoric just a little odd when we see his plans in action. As president, Mr. Obama has declared war on all families income by aiding and abetting the bilking of our food products to be used for fuel. First, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. It is, even in the simple view, inefficient at best. But more to my point here is that this is causing exactly what any sane person would guess. Rising Food Prices AND Food Shortages. This problem hits the poor more than the rich. As food costs approach the weekly salary of the poor, their lives, those that B.H. Obama campaigned for, are more adversely affected than the &#8220;Rich&#8221;.</p>
<p>Then we look at the issue with Oil/Gas prices. They are skyrocketing. More than double when he took office. His answer, &#8220;get used to the new prices&#8221; AND &#8220;You may want to trade in the old car&#8221;. Phew!? That is cold. More to the point. No matter what car a person owns, the cost of gas is now a major budget item for the lower income families. Again, the cost is approaching their weekly income. HIS solution is rather a slap in the face to those he campaigned on.</p>
<p>We also see that it is now almost impossible to eat, drive AND heat your house. For the average family, it is a juggling act which must be carefully balance or fiscal failure will occur.</p>
<p>Obama answers this by not allowing drilling for oil AND pouring money (taxes) into alternate fuels, fanning the flame of failure.</p>
<p>None too rich or too poor. Epic Fail. The people Obama wanted to punish (Rich) are feeling none or little pain, while the people the HE championed are taking it in the BUTT. Yet they back him. HE takes more, they back him. HE puts them into the street, they back him.</p>
<p>We need the Conservative Freshmen in Congress to act. Take Mr. Boehner aside and inform him that his spineless acquiescence to Obama and Reid will do no good for the country. Stand fast, shut down if necessary and START GETTING U.S. BACK ON TRACK!!!</p>
