Boehner Takes Charge
Jan 6, 2011 Political
Now this is just funny, I don’t care who you are…
Kind of symbolic of the knock-out punch America threw Nanny Pelosi in November, isn’t it?
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

111th Congress Accumulated More Debt That First 100 Congresses Combined
Dec 30, 2010 Political
Nancy Pelosi took the reigns pledging that there would be no deficit spending and that they would employ the pay as you go philosophy of governing. After her tenure as Speaker the 111th Congress has accumulated more debt that the first 100 Congresses combined adding $10,429.64 for each person counted in the 2010 census.
The years the Democrats were in charge were the four most expensive in our history as they set records for deficit spending.
The Democrats like to talk about how George Bush wasted a surplus (a surplus never existed as the US still had debt for the period the claim is made) and they like to discuss how he spent us into debt.
It looks like all the blowhards who were screaming about deficit spending are the worst offenders of all.
It is sad that we, our children and our children’s children have been saddled with this additional debt through generational theft by Congress but what is really sad is that half of the country will never have to pay any of the debt off.
The top 50% will be paying the bill for a long, long time.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Pelosi Is Planning A Party
Nov 9, 2010 Political
I bet it is not a TEA Party!
Nancy Pelosi is clueless. She bears a great deal of responsibility for the total beat down her party took in the last election. I know the apologizers will claim it was about anti incumbency and in a small way that is true. Most parties in power lose seats in the midterm (Bush gained in his first) but the scope of this beat down is historic. Not only did the Democrats lose more than 60 House seats and about 6 Senate seats, they lost over 600 seats in state and local elections. They lost the State House in many key states.
This was a complete repudiation of the way the Democrats drove the economy into the ditch since they took control in 2007. Up to that time the numbers were pretty good with low unemployment and low inflation. Since they have been in charge they have wrecked things and we are seeing the increase in prices that is showing before we hit massive inflation.
Given all this one would think that Democrats, and Pelosi in particular, would get the message. And if you are wondering, it is not that it was not sold the right way, it is that the polices were bad. Democrats wrecked things and it was time for change we could really believe in.
But Pelosi did not get the memo. The Botox must have numbed her brain. She is having a party:
Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the United States House of Representatives requests the pleasure of your company at a reception honoring the Accomplishments of the 111th Congress on Wednesday, the tenth day of November, two thousand ten at three thirty in the afternoon Cannon Caucus Room 345 Cannon House Office Building. Drudge
I wonder if that party will celebrate the accomplishment of losing more House seats in over 60 years or losing more state and local seats in at least that long or if they will celebrate the stupid things they did that led up to that historic defeat.
Pelosi was an effective Speaker. Her job was to push Obama’s agenda and that she did. She bribed, beat, and harassed people into doing what she wanted while they were being assured they would be rewarded for their stances on tough legislation that the people wanted.
Seems to me if they had actually spent time doing the people’s business and leaving the private sector alone the economy would have rebounded (like it is in other places) and more of them might not be adding to the unemployment numbers.
Ah yes, it is strange what Democrats tout as success…
If being slaughtered is success to them please keep them from running our military. To them General Custer was successful…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Hearsay: Pelosi Won’t Seek New Term As Speaker
Oct 20, 2010 Political
Desperate to win, Democrats are pulling out all the stops. Some are running away from the Obama/Reid/Pelosi agenda and are now touting conservative principles where they claim to have voted more with the GOP than with party. This, of course, is nothing more than a method to gain votes and get reelected. They will go right back to being led around by their noses if they win.
Some are claiming that they would not support Nancy Pelosi for Speaker if they are reelected and one, Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.), is claiming that he heard Pelosi will not even run again to be Speaker.
This is nothing more than a tactic to get voters to reelect him based on his “opposition” to Pelosi and his supposed conservative credentials.
For one thing, Nancy Pelosi craves power and there is no way she would not run again for Speaker should her party keep the majority. If she were to not seek the position again it would be seen as a victory for the Republicans so there is no way that she would not seek to hold that office. That and she is power hungry.
This is all based on some pipe dream that Democrats will hold control of the House.
In other words, McIntyre is not going to have to worry about not voting for Pelosi. He won’t be there to vote and she will be part of the minority so Speaker is out of the question anyway…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Republicans Will Take Care Of Pelosi
Oct 17, 2010 Political
It seems that all of the sudden Nancy Pelosi is not popular with many Democrats, especially those who voted with her nearly all the time. While these Democrats were busy playing the game and allowing Pelosi to lead them around by the nose, their constituents began to pay attention. These people supported the out-of-touch Speaker and they will pay for it. They learned too late that she is in a safe seat and will be reelected. She is so certain of reelection that she will not debate her opponent because “time is money” (and her time in charge has cost us plenty).
I wrote before about Democrats claiming to vote with the GOP more than their party and told you that a Republican would give you a better percentage so vote out the Democrat. Now those Democrats are going one step further and saying that if they are reelected they will not vote for Pelosi as Speaker. This position assumes several things. First, that Democrats are going to keep control of the House. That is not going to happen. Second, that we trust them to do what they say. And third, that their votes would make a difference in selection of the Speaker.
I want to ease the minds of these Democrats who are trying to be more and more conservative in order to win. Do not worry about not voting for Pelosi as Speaker because the voters are going to fire her from that job.
So, just like I said we did not need you if your claim to fame is that you voted more with the GOP than your own party, we do not need you to get rid of Pelosi.
We are going to get rid of that pip-squeak, military plane and tax payer abusing progressive jackass ourselves.
So, looks like we don’t need you folks for this one either.
Perhaps you should have been listening to your constituents. If you had, they might be interested in listening to you.
It must be a terrible feeling to know that their blind faith in Pelosi and Obama is going to cost them their jobs. I wonder why they bit the bullet for Obama when they knew it would be political suicide.
No matter, they swallowed the cyanide, now let them die.
Next time maybe politicians will listen to the people they represent rather than the guy who is not on the ballot (and who does not care about them).
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
