Louise Slaughter finds out about her sister’s dentures!

ObamaCare will recycle dentures like the Lions Club does eyeglasses.

Progressives for America; we’re not JUST liberals anymore.

McCain gets the RINO LABEL for voting with
the Liberals on most every important issue.

Sen. John McCain: I was misled on bailout

Under growing pressure from conservatives and “tea party” activists, Sen. John McCain of Arizona is having to defend his record of supporting the government’s massive bailout of the financial system
.
In response to criticism from opponents seeking to defeat him in the Aug. 24 Republican primary, the four-term senator says he was misled by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. McCain said the pair assured him that the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program would focus on what was seen as the cause of the financial crisis, the housing meltdown. [snip]

Nearly 15 months later, commercial lenders still are in shaky condition and the commercial real-estate industry is in trouble, he said. On Friday, President Barack Obama announced $1.5 billion in funding for new measures to help Arizona and four other states hit hard by the tanked housing market and by joblessness. [snip]

McCain has been misled from the day he ran for office. From the Keating Five to TARP he’s been on the wrong side of fiscal conservatism.
He’s been on the wrong side of Illegal immigration and Amnesty.
Then he wonders why the Country has these HUGE problems.

The reason is YOU, dummy!

Are you a flaming liberal?
Do you need to be governed?

Obama: Filbuster(sic) Making Nation Ungovernable

President Obama said today he is “very frustrated” by the repeated use of the filibuster to try to block almost every piece of legislation before the U.S. Senate, warning that the political maneuver is threatening America’s competitiveness.

“As somebody who served in the Senate, who values the traditions of the Senate, who thinks that institution has been the world’s greatest deliberative body, to see the filibuster rule, which imposes a 60-vote supermajority on legislation - to see that invoked on every single piece of legislation, during the course of this year, is unheard of,” Obama said in an interview with the PBS NewsHour.

What other outlet would carry this crap? Right, NBC, CBS, ABC and other lap dog media, state owned and run analogous to the fair and above board media in the article below.

Venezuelan police fire tear gas at protesters

While charging that the government is trying to curb criticism, the students also used their demonstration to call attention to electricity shortages plaguing much of Venezuela and other pressing domestic problems like double-digit inflation.

University students have taken to the streets daily since Sunday, after government pressure led cable TV services to drop Radio Caracas Television International, which has long been a critic of Chávez’s socialist policies.
[snip]

The government says RCTV was removed for refusing to comply with a new rule requiring media outlets to televise mandatory programming, including Chávez’s speeches. (emphasis added)

Self important pompous blather, prompter led speeches about NOTHING in the grand style of Castro, Kim Jong-Il, Ortega, Ahmadinejad and the MESSIAH.

To the question at hand, the answer is yes! If you are a liberal, you need to be governed, told how and what to think.
Why else would anyone stand or sit through hours of bloviating crap by any politician.

Listen to the I-ME-I-ME-I-ME junk pounded out in the SOTU.

Brings new meaning to the word VOMIT!

This works WITHOUT spending all the money he’ll waste!

Send California
inmates to Mexico,
says Schwarzenegger

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested California could ease its crowded prison system by sending thousands of undocumented inmates to specially built jails in Mexico.

Speaking to reporters at the Sacramento Press Club, Schwarzenegger said California could ease its strained finances by a billion dollars if 20,000 illegal immigrants currently held in the state were housed across the border.

“I think that we can do so much better in the prison system alone if we can go and take, inmates for instance, the 20,000 inmates that are illegal immigrants that are here and get them to Mexico,” Schwarzenegger said.

“Think about it — if California gives Mexico the money. Not ‘Hey, you take care of them, these are your citizens’. No. Not at all. [snip]

All those steroids solidified his brain.

‘Hey, Mexico, you take care of them, these ARE your citizens’. No, we’re not giving Mexico any money! These pests already cost this country millions in lost American jobs, taxes, higher hospitalization insurance rates, auto deaths from DUI and increased drug trafficking.

Yank them out of the prisons and frog march them across the border. Let Mexico jail them, shoot them or work them. They’re Mexican citizens entitled to the full “rights” of Mexican law.

I’m compassionate, if they have family here, find out where they are and round them up; families should be kept together.

Gorebots probably see the world the same way.

No more guessing!

One expects this from slinking, apologizing, surrender monkeys.

Whispers of Surrender in Afghanistan?

It comes to our attention that the MEMRI Blog highlights an article from the Saudi al-Watan in Arabic that - according to an Afghan source - the United States is talking to the Taliban seeking to trade control of 5 provinces in exchange for the cessation of attacks on US bases. MEMRI summarizes:

An Afghan source in Kabul reports that U.S. Ambassador in Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry is holding secret talks with Taliban elements headed by the movement’s foreign minister, Ahmad Mutawakil, at a secret location in Kabul. According to the source, the U.S. has offered the Taliban control of the Kandahar, Helmand, Oruzgan, Kunar and Nuristan provinces in return for a halt to the Taliban missile attacks on U.S. bases.

Kunar province borders the Khyber Pass region where the majority of US and NATO supplies pass enroute from Pakistan. And the remaining four provinces constitute fully the southern 25% of Afghanistan’s territory.

This, if true, is a disturbing development.

Selling the troops out is job one for the liberals; they voted to send them in so they wouldn’t be thought of poorly.
Now the true beliefs come out!

Dukakis had a problem answering this about his wife!

President Obama has taken control of US nuclear policy by demanding a shift in doctrine and laying the groundwork for deep cuts.  Welcome to typical liberal “blame America first” policy making.  See, in Barack Obama’s mind, rogue states, like Iran and North Korea, aren’t responsible for the world’s nuclear woes.  The US is the real culprit here.  If we just roll over and give the farm away, we can all live in peace and harmony.  I don’t know what planet the president lives on, but it’s not even remotely connected to the real world.

Liberal “blame America first” policy making works so well too.  For example, the Russians are still considering missile deployments on the Polish border in ”grattitude” to the president, who threw Poland and Czechoslovakia under the bus on the missile shield.  Smart power indeed!

Obama hasn’t delivered enough prime time platitudes on healthcare.  That’s apparently the White House’s conclusion as they gear up for a Congressional address that’ll give the Narcissist-in-Chief control of the airwaves for what seems like the 1000th time this year.  You just knew the Vineyard vacation with its small respite from 24/7 Obama workship wouldn’t last forever.

And what exactly is the president going to say?  Here’s a few of the larger fibs that come to mind:

1. If you like your insurance and doctor, you can keep it.  Except that the CBO estimates millions of American’s will be forced into Obamacare as employers drop private insurance. 
2. We aren’t going to touch Medicare.  Except that we’re planning on “finding” $300 billion in savings there. 
3. I’m not for a government takeover of healthcare.  Except that I’m on record numerous times supporting single-payer systems and saying the public option is a step in getting there.

More face time selling the same platitudes and plan won’t move the neddle.

Ah, another tale of anguish from the lives of the Beautiful People.

 Annie Leibovitz, photographer of stars, faces ruin

Annie Leibovitz is as famous as the people she photographs but now the genius behind the lens is close to financial ruin — a victim, some say, of her own relentless artistic ambition.[snip]

Oh dear, another victim, there just isn’t enough money, never enough money. We need to share our pittances!

Over the course of her long career, nothing has been too extreme in Leibovitz’s pursuit of the perfect picture. [snip]

Yet behind a facade of unlimited financial means, Leibovitz was spending her way into nightmare.

In what now appears as a disastrous decision to raise funds, Leibovitz took a 24-million-dollar loan from Art Capital Group (ACG) — in effect a high-end pawn broker — in December 2008 using her own photographs as collateral.

That debt is due September 8 and if she can’t pay up, she could lose her life’s work.

ACG, which specializes in making loans to owners of high value art works, is unlikely to adopt a soft line.[snip]

Despite moving in such glamorous circles, Leibovitz has never been known for having a knack for finance.

When she was hired to shoot ads for American Express in the 1980s, it emerged she had been previously turned down by the company when applying for a credit card.

Guess Amex paid attention to her financial zodiac.

New York’s chattering classes are aghast at the renowned photographer’s downfall, making her the latest spectacular victim of the bad debt crisis and nationwide recession. [snip]

Don’t see the Chablis and brie set passing the hat, do you?
“…latest spectacular victim of the bad debt crisis and nationwide recession.” Not quite, this is more of what run amok through the Frivolous Set.

Anna Wintour, the equally famous editor of Vogue magazine, said in a documentary that Leibovitz was priceless.

“Budget is not something that enters into her consciousness, but it is worth it because at the end of the day, she gives you an image that nobody else can,” said Wintour.

Truer words cannot be spoken; her final image is off the dryer drum for all to see.
But it’s no different from others liberal spendthrift ways.

Well, the Senate incompetents who occupy Blunder Dome are expected to revive Barack’s “Cash For Clunkers” middle-class opiate this week.

This will come as great comfort to those Americans who can’t afford to increase indebtedness with new car loans. 

They happen also to be the class of Americans who typically rely upon sound used cars for everything from school travel, to work, and family errands.   They must be very pleased to know that the inventory is being destroyed.

Another populist triumph for idiot liberalism.

Slipping deeper into dementia, California’s Aunty Entity, Barbara Boxer, tells us that by their clothes ye shall know them.

 This is no longer funny.  This prog screwball is a US Senator.
