Republicans Budget Bill Will Kill Old People



"Fearmongering" is the main arsenal of the Democrats. Scaring any group of people, Democrats feel emboldened and the easiest target is the elderly. As a very big voting group, Democrats need to keep seniors dependent on the government with entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security. Since the GOP is trying to balance a budget, Democrats are screaming Republicans are killing senior citizen. We hear this all the time. The last time Congress balanced the budget was under Clinton in 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, and that was with a Republican majority. During that time, the "fearmongering" was intense by the Democrat party, but no senior died from a balance budget.


Transcipt from the Rush Limbaugh Show

RUSH: You remember all the grief that Sarah Palin got talking about death panels in Obamacare. She was called a "fearmonger" and all that. Never mind that these so-called nonexistent death panels then were removed from Obamacare. Now, here comes Debbie Wasserman Schultz accusing the Republicans of killing senior citizens, and there is no outcry from anyone, anywhere, that is in any way similar to the outcry Sarah Palin got. That's another example of the blatant double standard which exists.

Here's the Patsy Schroeder sound bite. This is 1995 on the House floor, Pat Schroeder, Democrat congressperson from Colorado.

SCHROEDER: And they had the Big Kahuna of GOPAC come speak, none other than Rush Limbaugh himself, who stood there and said to all these people who paid all this money to keep GOPAC rich, he was hailing the GOP budget! He said, according to the paper and according to the C-SPAN tape, he thought it was wonderful because it would starve the poor and it would drive Medicare recipients, including his mother, to eat dog food, but not to worry, Mom, he says, I'm sending you a new can opener. Wow. That tells you what today's about.

RUSH: It's amazing how history repeats itself: 1995, 16 years ago, the Republicans had a budget, the Democrats react to it the same way. "It's going to kill old people." Now, there's a part of me asking, why does history keep repeating itself? How is it, you have to ask yourself, that the Democrats continue to get away with this? They got away with it in -- well, it's arguable -- they got away with it in '95 in the PR sense. They did not get away with it in '95 at the ballot box; Republicans won reelection in 1996. But they clearly won the PR battle. By winning the PR battle, they scared the hell out of the Republicans and made them timid, started to back off, their forcefulness declined a little bit. May not be that history repeats itself, but the hysteria surely does. It's the same thing. You might also say, "Well, Rush, the history's repeating itself. Back then, the Republicans were talking about the need to get the budget in balance." Well, that is always true. That's something that always has to be done.

You know, we had a bite earlier this week -- maybe latter part of last week -- talking about quick fixes. If we would've tried the quick fix 30 years ago, where would we be today? We wouldn't be in the mess that we're in today if we had stuck to what we started in 1995 when it came to balancing the budget. We wouldn't be where we are today. The problem is that between 1995 and now, we've had a bunch of Democrats in Congress, and we've had some spendthrift Republicans as well. The bottom line is that we're always gonna have people in Washington who are going to want to spend money because that's the ticket. That's the route to success. And it's all personal, in terms of their own career and their advancement. Spending money is one of the quickest ways to ingratiate yourself with people.

And you go talk to some elderly members of Congress about this health care bill and what it's gonna do to this country 10, 15 years down the road, and some of these members of the House and Senate who are in their seventies: "I don't care. I'm gonna be dead." That's really their attitude about it. Under Reagan and Bush, the Republicans had control of the White House and both houses of Congress -- how many old people died then? We can go back and count the numbers. How many old people died during the Reagan, Bush 1, and Bush 2 administrations? How many old people died because of the Republican budget every year? Answer: zero. And yet the same complaint, the same charge is made. And above all, most of all, you wonder about the idiots that hear it out there, average Americans who believe it, who buy into it.

Military indoctrinated on gays kissing behavior



Materials offer scenarios on gays for the military. This is G*D D**M SICK!

(Washington Times) — Four branches of the military have begun sending training material to 2.2 million active and reserve troops as a prelude to opening the ranks to gays, with instructions on, for example, what to do if an officer sees two male Marines kissing in a shopping mall.

Key themes are that sexual orientation will no longer be a bar to service, that all service members must respect each other, and that the partners of gay troops will not receive the benefits of heterosexual spouses.

“We are going to make [gay ban] repeal training expeditiously,” said Maj. Joel Harper, an Air Force spokesman at the Pentagon. “It’s great training.”

The briefings first target commanders, who will have to enforce the new law and deal with disputes, and then the entire force. The slides, vignettes and talking points by the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps are similar.

The Marine Corps, which a Pentagon survey found holds deep opposition to lifting the ban, plans to publicly release its training material April 1. A Marine source provided copies to The Washington Times.

The vignette about seeing two male Marines kissing is part of a list of scenarios to help instructors prepare commanders for incidents likely to arise.

“Situation,” it begins. “You are the Executive Officer of your unit. While shopping at the local mall over the weekend, you observe two junior male Marines in appropriate civilian attire assigned to your unit kissing and hugging in the food court.

“Issue: Standards of Conduct. Is this within standards of personal and professional conduct?”

The answer to Marines: “If the observed behavior crosses acceptable boundaries as defined in the standards of conduct for your unit and the Marine Corps, then an appropriate correction should be made. Your assessment should be made without regard to sexual orientation.”

After 15 Years Monica Lewinsky is Still in Love with Bill Clinton



Bill Clinton pointing his finger saying, "I didn't have sex with that woman." Yeah, right! HA-HA

(Mail Online) The scandal almost destroyed his career and left his presidency permanently tainted.
But 15 years on, Bill Clinton’s former intern Monica Lewinsky has not got married or had children because she is reportedly still in love with him and 'always will be'.

Miss Lewinsky, 37, has run a successful business, hosted a reality television show and moved overseas - but has never found love, according to friends.

‘Monica still hasn’t got over Bill and would take him back in a second,’ a friend said.

‘She told me: “There will never be another man in my life that could make me as happy as he did",' the friend told the National Enquirer magazine.

Miss Lewinsky was aged 22 in 1995 when she began working in the White House and had an affair with President Clinton, which he famously denied at first.

Mr Clinton was impeached by Republicans in 1998, who tried to throw him out of office.

But his wife Hilary said in 2007 that their marriage was 'worth the investment'.

Miss Lewinsky said her relationship with the president involved her performing sexual acts on him - but not sexual intercourse.

Bill Clinton Says Republicans Must Tone Down the Political Rhetoric




Republicans to tone down the political and hateful rhetoric? Liberal Democrats should look at the mirror more often.............

(BBC) Former President Bill Clinton has told the BBC the US political climate must change after the shooting of a US Congresswoman and others in Arizona.

"No-one intends to do anything that encourages this sort of behaviour," he said. But political rhetoric "falls on the unhinged and the hinged alike".

Some commentators suggest the vitriolic political rhetoric in the US may have contributed in some way to the attack.

Speaking on a trip to Haiti, Mr Clinton called on the US House of Representatives to "lead the way" in toning down the political discourse.

"We cannot be unaware of the fact that - particularly with the internet - there's this huge echo chamber out there," he said.

"This is an occasion for us to reaffirm that our political differences shouldn't degenerate into demonisation, in the sense that if you don't agree with me you're not a good American.

"I'm hoping there will be a lot of good debates that go beyond turning this into politics... about how and why it happened and what else we can do to minimise those things."

Obama had a Party to go to, so he lets Bill Clinton be president









I have never seen Obama being so aloof. As Bill Clinton tell him to leave, it portrays the father telling the son to go to his room. By reading between the lines, it was an embarrassing moment. I guess Bill Clinton wishes he was president again. Because of a Whtie House party, Obama had leave during the middle of a press confernece to meet with Michelle Obama for the White House function.

(RealClearPolitics) Former President Bill Clinton gave a statement after his meeting with President Obama about his tax compromise with the Republicans.



However, after his statement, Clinton began to call on and take questions from the press with Obama at his side. Obama leaves promptly after a few moments and said he had to see Michelle, as he was keeping her "waiting."



"I don't want to make her mad, please go," Clinton told Obama.

Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown says Tax Cuts Don’t Create Jobs, Unemployment Benefits Do




Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) is an idiot. He uses the Liberal ideology that unemployment benefits create jobs. There is an analogy Liberals believe that every $1.00 spent on unemployment benefit would produce $1.75 in economy activity. Unless Senator Brown can conjure a rabbit from out of a hat, the analogy is wrong, deceitful, and idiotic.

To clarify, if Bush created 1 million job, as the Senator states, people tend to forget that the average unemployment rate under Bush was 5.2%. America was fully employed. With a Republican control Majority under Clinton, the average unemployment was 5.6%. It was Republicans cutting taxes and keeping Clinton's spending down that helped the economy. Also to note, the Internet boom produce an increase tax revenue and job employment. Since Democrat enjoy using the narrative that the rich are individuals, it must be clarified that the rich are associated with small and big businesses that create jobs in this country. Over taxing the small and big businesses will kill jobs.

(RCP)"Congressman Cantor (R-VA) either failed English class or failed logic class or failed history class because these tax cuts for the rich that Bush did twice, in '01 and '03, resulted in very little economic growth. We saw only one million jobs created in the Bush years, 22 million created in the Clinton years when we reached a balanced budget with a fairer tax system," Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said on MSNBC.

"There is no real history illustrating that these tax cuts for the rich result in jobs. It's extending unemployment benefits that creates economic activity that creates jobs, not giving a millionaire an extra ten or twenty or $30,000 in tax cuts that they likely won't spend," Brown said.

Top 10 Issues House Republicans Will Tackle Once They Win the Midterm Elections




If the Republicans take Congress back this Tuesday, there is only one goal Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell promises what will not happen. He refuse to see a Clintonian back flip to the center with Barack Obama. McConnell said that his top goal is to make President Barack Obama a one-term president.

When the Republican won the Majority in 1994, they force Bill Clinton to be a born-again moderate and accepting many centrist position. That gave Bill Clinton a 2nd term. This will not be the case the second time around. The Republicans will do everything to reverse every idiotic law that undermine the American people in the last two years. As with every newly elected Congress, Republicans will make do with their promise because they know what would happen if they lie to the American public. With the Tea Party movement closely watching their very step, I can see a new hope and direction for this country.

Daily Show Jon Stewart as a Journalist is Just Plain Dumb




"Daily Show" Jon Stewart acted seriously when he debated and interviewed Obama on prime time. The show is just like the president, a comic relief. It is embarrassing for any sitting president to subject himself and lower his dignity to be on a comic show. Only Presidents Clinton and Jimmy Carter joined as a guest on the "Daily Show" and it only shows what type of degenerates would go on. There is no way the American people can look at Obama seriously now, unless he wants to be perceived as a joke, which he is doing just fine.
