What do you know about this guy running for Congress in NV-22? Lt. Colonel Allen West.

“We’ll have to see if they can make it easier”… He is looking for a cave. Or maybe a bribe.

I honestly believe there are a lot of Dems who desperately want a way out of the hole Obama has thrown them in with his insistence on Obamacare. How many long (too long IMO) Democrat Senate careers will end next Nov because of this? How many House Dems will be sacrificed? How many will retire before they’d really like to? I suspect many are being offered jobs or even cash for their votes. But not all. So we need to find out who they are and ask them if supporting Obama, Reid, and Pelosi is really worth sacrificing their careers.

This should be easy for Dems to pass. Obama has said he supports the Hyde amendment. The problem is, neither he nor the extreme left are telling the truth. They are trying to establish a new right: the right to taxpayer funded abortion. They can spin it any way they want, but ultimately, that is what they are trying to accomplish. We will see if Obama and moderate Dems will keep their word…I doubt it.

a) Snowe and Lieberman
b) Snowe and Nelson
c) Lieberman and Nelson
or I suppose
d) all three

Snowe and Lieberman will probably vote the same way since they have expressed the same concerns. If Reid concocts some wording that they’ll go for, he doesn’t need to try to add anything to please Nelson.

This bill will pass the Senate and go to conference. And I think it’s a total crapshoot as to what happens there.

The GOP has totally underestimated Pelosi and Reid’s ability to control their people. Not that that matters – there’s nothing we can do about it anyway. But a more realistic attitude about the capabilities of the Dems might help us to craft a more effective strategy. The “wait until they screw themselves” approach ain’t working.

…Blanche Lincoln to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, the WSJ and to Curtis Coleman and Gilbert Baker both of whom are running for the GOP nomination to run against her.

“I have been following the debate over health care “reform” quite closely and call the offices of Senators Lincoln and Pryor several times a week to express my wishes that they vote against this unconstitutional abomination. I don’t know if there are any legal obligations on the part of our representatives in the House and Senate to vote in accordance with the wishes of their constituents but there is certainly a duty to do so. That Senators Lincoln and Pryor are not firmly against a government takeover of our health care system in spite of representing a state that John McCain won 59% to 39% and in spite of statewide polls that show Arkansans are overwhelmingly against the Democrats’ plans raises questions about their honesty, integrity, and their fidelity to those they were elected to represent.
Senator Pryor likely believes that the voters will have forgotten about his vote by the time he’s up for reelection in 2014 so is likely to vote against the wishes of Arkansas voters and instead vote down the line with the most radical elements of his party. We won’t forget.
Senator Lincoln’s support for Obamacare is somewhat more puzzling given the fact that she is aware of her poll numbers, the outcome of the presidential election in Arkansas in 2008, and the lack of support for Obamacare in Arkansas. Senator Lincoln doesn’t strike me as a Leftist but rather as a pragmatic moderate who has, or had, the best interests of Arkansans in mind more often than not. But for some reason she seems to have thrown in with the socialist Left and has so far joined in with those that are seeking to radically alter the relationship between free American citizens and their government. Why?
Senator Landrieu of Louisiana has confessed to, and even seems proud of, accepting $300 million dollars from taxpayers to cover Medicare spending in LA. What I want to know, and we should all demand to know, is what was Senator Lincoln’s price for signing onto an unconstitutional power grab against the wishes of Arkansans? Was she offered a plum position in the Obama administration when, not if, she loses next year? Was she offered a cash bribe for herself? Senator Lincoln must know that her reelection hopes, if she has any at this point, are extremely dependent on her Obamacare vote so why would she vote for it and commit political suicide if not in expectation of personal gain? If she votes for Obamacare I want her investigated. I want the Arkansas Democrat Gazette and her would-be GOP opponents for her office next year to demand a full accounting of her vote. If it is discovered that she voted to support Obamacare in exchange for personal gain she should be charged with bribery, conspiracy and brought to trial. I don’t make these demands lightly but out of disgust, anger, and frustration with a woman, and let’s not forget Mark Pryor either, that is willfully ignoring the wishes of Arkansans for no rational reason. I hope that the courage to pursue such an investigation exists.”

Any thoughts on how to ratchet up the legal pressure on this traitor?

The Senate is full of DemocratsRepublicans who talk big about their conservative principles, right up to the moment where they have to fight for them.

Besides which, the news is reporting that they are ditching the public option (at least in name). Clearly they are shooting more for Snowe.

This thing is done. They will pass it. When the cloture vote lost last Saturday the only left was for the gutless dimocrats to do their posturing and then let this monstrosity become law.

The question is not if this thing will pass but what we do afterwords. Unfortunately only Sarah Palin has the guts to fight the rest of these “Republicans” are more interested in their standing invitations to the cocktail parties in New York and Washington, DC.

It is time to eviscerate these SOBs.

Embrace the Crazy!!

If it wasn’t apparent in February, or May, it should now be crystal clear now what the purposes of this administration, and certain elements in the House and Senate are.
For one, there is a unified plan…from health care, to cap and trade, to banking regulation, to card check. Neither the Congress nor czars are acting randomly.
If key GOP operatives don’t know this already, they should be sacked. Key conservative analysts should be making sure…today…that they do know these things.
Then what they must do…is make sure that key moderate Democrats, in both Houses are warned, and that warning must be made in writing or some other provable form of evidence…
…so when the purposes of the Administration are laid bare in public (early 2010), those Democrats will know, and their voters will know, that they had been warned, and theremore must be prepared to suffer the fate of the driving forces of the Left behind this government takeover.
I am not just talking about Blanche Lincoln and Ben Nelson. There is Bayh of Indiana. There are both Virginia senators. And no, Senator Warner, four years will not provide enough time to heal and rehabilitate yourself.
If any Democrat member of Congress has any hope of being a presidential contender (Bayh and Warner especially) in either 2012 or 2016, they have to decide now if they want to hitch their star to Obama’s wagon, or come out against him. The one who comes out soonest, and more forcefully, besides keeping Hillary on the sideline in perpetuity, will probably not only be the next Democrat candidate (in 2012) but also the next president, as the GOP clearly does not seem to have the stomach for this “manhood and honor” stuff.

Since I began this alert with advice to the GOP on how to defeat the purposes of the Obamailis, it really makes no sense to then end it by describing a scenario in which the GOP will have to reach way down to find the brass to carry it all the way through, brass they haven’t been able to find in some years.
Maybe this explains their timidity.
And in truth, I am speaking on behalf of the people who stand to suffer once these plans are revealed and executed, and not the Party, who will, after all, be allowed to survive in some docile capacity.

did you think any thing different.it was a democrate game.nelson is part of the problem.the evil democrates are pushing the republicans around,they must stand up for us no one else is.the democrate are trying to take our freedom.

Mr. Nelson and his liege are the false prophets of sound, measured judgment. They speak in platitudes to supposedly appease those they represent and then vote against their will. Notice how they always “speak out” and “hold firm” to alleged principals and then in the end vote against those delusional manifestations. Who pays in the end- who loses? The people he was elected to represent and those of us who count on the good judgment of such men for the continuance of our great nation.

I think the anti Federalists were talking about Nelson in 1787;

It would not be difficult to prove, that any thing short of despotism, could not bind so great a country under one government; and that whatever plan you might, at the first setting out, establish, it would issue in a despotism.
