Midterm Elections: What Party Do You Trust More?

August 2nd, 2010   (326 views )

WASHINGTON (AP) - No fewer than 65 House seats across the
country - an overwhelming majority held by Democrats - are at risk
of changing political hands this fall, enough to bolster Republican
hopes of regaining power and stoke fears in President Barack
Obama's party of losing it.
Even more races from California to New York could become
competitive by November as voters look to blame someone for the
sluggish economic recovery and take out their frustration on the
Democrats who run the government. As of now, enough seats are in
play that Republicans could gain the 39 they need to reclaim the
House, dealing a blow to Obama in the first midterm elections of
his presidency.
Primary outcomes and national polls show a restless electorate
and energized Republicans. Independents who propelled the Democrats
to power in 2006 and 2008 in scores of swing districts are leaning
toward the GOP, expressing concerns about excessive spending,
government overreach and the spiraling national debt.

Republicans. The Democrats rammed down health care down our throats even though most people did not want their version. The President sided with criminals in suing Arizona. Where are the jobs Obama promised? He spent trillions on stimulus...and lastly we see the corrupt Democrats led by Charlie Rangel and Maxim Waters.

Independents. Is anybody running? Please do not try to pretend that the fringe wing of the Dick Armey/sara Palin faction Tea Party is what now qualifies as Independent.

A dream team of Bernie Sanders[I] and either Ron Paul[R] or Russ Feingold[D] would be an optimum upgrade from todays oinkers and the two party stench that pollutes the nation.

Independents, only if they have a strong lead in the polls, otherwise Republican. We can't risk keeping these Democrats in power. They seem hell bent on destroying our culture and our freedoms.

Sadly, realistically it is the lessor of two evils, between Republicans who are self serving wealth destroyers of the middle class or Democrats who are the same, with the additional elements of an Authoritarian regime, fighting against the will of it's own people.

Bush and Cheney Republicans with the help of Blue Dog Democrats destroyed America.

Obama proved he is continuing most of the failed policies by rejecting every liberal initiative including Single Payer health care and implementing Glass/Steagall so Wall Street cannot steal again.

A pox on both their houses.

Republicans and Democrats proved they cannot be trusted.

Ethics Probe: What Should Happen To Rep. Charlie Rangel?

-------------------------------------


Apologize and Keep His Job

Be Censured and Lose His Chairmanship

Be Forced to Resign

d)STAND UP AND ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE. THREATHENING TO EXPOSE ALL THE DIRTY LAUNDRY THAT RESIDES IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE. Rangels faults are a mere pittance and was personal- harming no one.
*Compare that to the laundry list of sins attached to the lists above who stole directly from you and have denied, with sadistic smirks, any knowledge of how they stole the country and your rights right under your noses.

the democrats. corporate power plus greed equates with republicans and the supreme court. They are slowly eroding the rights of the individual and replaceing it with corporate power. If the republdicans get back in they will slash medicare and social security and go back to tax cuts fot the rich. If they want to cut the deficit they should go after corporate welfare instread of social programs. obama has introduced consume friendly bills like credit card and financial regulations. It would be a shame to revert back to the bush era

The Ethics Election:

August 2, 2010

Four years ago, Democrats swept to Congressional majorities on an anti-corruption platform and a ringing promise to “drain the swamp” of Washington politics. But as the midterm elections near, the promise looks increasingly hollow. Prominent cases of corruption in Democratic ranks reveal a party mired in the very ethical morass it once promised mop up.

The most notorious example of Democratic corruption – and the most worrying for party heads and spin-meisters as the campaign season starts – is of course Rep. Charlie Rangel. The embattled Harlem congressman spent last Thursday negotiating 13 charges levied against him by a House ethics committee. Rangel doggedly maintains his innocence, but the dossier on his misdeeds is long and growing. Among other charges, Rangel is accused of not reporting $600,000; accepting two separate corporate-sponsored trips to the Caribbean; using congressional stationary to solicit funds for his namesake Charles Rangel Center at the City College of New York. There are also charges that he abused rent control laws in his hometown of New York.

Rangel’s travails have party leaders in a panic. Three of his fellow Democratic congressmen have called on Rangel to resign. President Obama has also weighed in, calling the allegations “very troubling.” In an ominous statement, Obama also said he hoped Rangel could “end his career with dignity.”

Rangel is hardly the only Democrat with ethics issues. Fellow Rep. Maxine Waters has come under fire for allegations that she used her position to help arrange for federal bailout funds for a bank with ties to her husband. Like Rangel, Waters decided last week to face trial rather than accept the ethics charges against her. At the very least, that ensures that the party’s ethical woes will remain headline fodder for some time to come.

The Rangel and Waters cases are particularly problematic because they reinforce a reputation for corruption that has embroiled high-profile Democrats across the country. New York governor Eliot Spitzer was brought down in a prostitution scandal. His replacement, David Patterson, has had ethics problems since taking office. Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was caught attempting to sell president Obama’s former senate seat. The late John Murtha was the target of federal investigators [1] in connection with a lobbying scandal. Accusations also dogged his Virginia Rep. Jim Moran and Indiana Rep. Peter Visclosky.

Ethics scandals have also emanated from the White House. Cabinet appointees Tom Daschle and Tim Geither were both involved in tax scandals before taking office. Daschle didn’t get the appointment, while Geithner, who claimed to have trouble operating his computer tax software, is a key figure in the handling of the nation’s economy. In all, eight separate White House appointees had issues paying taxes, including Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Former “green jobs czar” for the Obama administration, Van Jones, was famously brought down after it was found he that signed a position supporting 9-11 Truthers.

How Secret Meetings of the Bilderbergs, G8 & G20 have rigged the entire global economy into fummeling all finance and assets, into their ventures, many of them deliberately toxic, and lured the general public into believing that is solely the ineptness of political parties that is causing stagnation. THE FACT IS THAT THE BILDERBERGS, CARLYLES, ETAL OWN THIS GOVERNMENT AND ITS TOP PLAYERS LOCK STOCK AND THE BARRELS PROMISED TO THEM IN THE FORM OF CORPORATE STOCK, GOLDEN PARACHUTES, AND SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS.
In reality, these raiders of the nations treasure have insured within their close knit inner circle that there can be only two ways that they will allow things to go forward.
SEE WHAT WAS PRE-PLANNED TO CURTAIL RECOVERY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE ENTERING NEW PRESIDENT.
After looking at his cabinet and how it was structured, could there have been any other outcome, for what we now see as ANTI-AMERICAN implementations to insure present day dilemmas cannot allow us to recover our wealth, while these culprits seek to insure that the present day "welfare state" and tax immunities of the ultra rich are kept and set in stone, via the Republican party, and "their select" Dems stonewalling.

AFTER READING THIS YOU WILL KNOW WITH ALL CERTAINTY THAT EXTENDING THE BUSH TAXCUTS FOR "THESE PEOPLE" WITH "THIS TOXIC AGENDA"- IS GENOCIDE FOR OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.

Just say no to extending the Bush taxcuts for the top .01% who have planned the implosion and destruction of America so that they can later rule the roost with all of their newly implemented socio-communist, military fascist components intact for their new world order.
WORST CASE SCENERIO:
Ruling us from afar in Dubai, fully protected by the armies and functional equipment we have left in place for them in Afghanistan, controlling our ports under the Dubai ports agreement[still not in American hands], borders leaking like a sieve, and our indebted currency worthless. Backed by THE CHINESE as OVERSEERS who will by then be ceded the deeds of our national debt.
What a tangled web of deceit, and strategic maneuvering all coming from the seeds of an attack that was allowed to happen. An attack that was planned for and known to be in progress, 11 whole months before it happened. Along with the exact progression in which our policies would lead to these exact strategic disadvantages- ALL FOR THE PURPOSES OF CRASHING AND BURNING AMERICA, OUR CURRENCY, AND OUR WAY OF LIFE.
LEAVING US WITH FALSE BOTTOM SECURITIES[total surveillance= no privacy], AND IMPLANTING HUMAN BEINGS WITH BIO-ID CHIPS WITH ZERO CAPABILITY TO CREATE OR MANUFACTURE WHOLE ENTIRE PRODUCTS STATESIDE.

Can anyone provide a more appropriate name that should be attached to the sell-out gangsta' cartel that calls itself the Council of Foreign Relations?

Now let's compare that with the outrageous thievery of this very administration who plots to steal from us in the very way emphatically denied just a few months ago and in the last presidential election.
(See Below)

2011 W-2 Tax Forms--Surprise, surprise!

Should you want to verify this, go to http://www.thomas.gov/, enter "HR 3590" in the search box and look for "CRS Summaries." This is what you'll find.

Title IX Revenue Provisions—Subtitle A: Revenue Offset
"(Sec. 9002) Requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer-sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from the employee's gross income (excluding the value of
contributions to flexible spending arrangements)."

Starting in 2011—next year—the W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are provided.
It doesn't matter if you're retired. Your gross income WILL go up by the amount of insurance your employer paid for. So you’ll be required to pay taxes on a larger sum of money that you actually received. Take the tax form you just finished for 2009 and see what $15,000.00 or $20,000.00 additional gross income does to >your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year. For many it puts you into a much higher bracket. This is how the government is going to buy insurance for fifteen (15) percent that don't have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases,
but it's not really a "tax increase" as such, it a redefinition of your taxable income.

Also, go to Kiplinger's and read about the thirteen (13) tax changes for 2010 that could affect you.

Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you forward this to every single person in your address book. People have the right to know the truth because an election is coming in November. So vote intelligently, based on your
values.
But also adjust your tax withholding, or increase your savings, so that you aren't surprised and put in a jam when your federal income taxes are due on April 15, 2012.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Antioxidants Spearmint, peppermint, and other mints have been found to be rich in antioxidants, a broad class of chemicals thought to promote overall health by preventing damage to the body and protecting against cancer and tumors. The dieters need to be really dedicated to the diet plan in order for it to work properly.
