House Democrats Votes to Restrict Unions in Massachusetts

It is nice to see Democrats backstabbing the unions. It is music to ones ear. LOL

(Boston.com) House lawmakers voted overwhelmingly last night to strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees of most of their rights to bargain over health care, saying the change would save millions of dollars for financially strapped cities and towns.

The 111-to-42 vote followed tougher measures to broadly eliminate collective bargaining rights for public employees in Ohio, Wisconsin, and other states. But unlike those efforts, the push in Massachusetts was led by Democrats who have traditionally stood with labor to oppose any reduction in workers’ rights.

Unions fought hard to stop the bill, launching a radio ad that assailed the plan and warning legislators that if they voted for the measure, they could lose their union backing in the next election. After the vote, labor leaders accused House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and other Democrats of turning their backs on public employees.

“It’s pretty stunning,’’ said Robert J. Haynes, president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. “These are the same Democrats that all these labor unions elected. The same Democrats who we contributed to in their campaigns. The same Democrats who tell us over and over again that they’re with us, that they believe in collective bargaining, that they believe in unions. . . . It’s a done deal for our relationship with the people inside that chamber.’’

Pelosi’s Sad Attempt at Leading Democrats in a Chant

BIG TIME FAIL!!! It is so embarrassing to watch. LOL

Obama Speech is Weak and Has TOO Many Hole

Today, President Obama gave a speech on deficit reduction. Besides pandering to the Liberal base, the speech is nothing more than a class warfare tactic to increase the tax on the rich. America heard that cliché before many times and I think we are sick of the rhetoric. When Liberals and Democrats say tax the rich, they meant to tax everybody. Look at the price of food and other consumable goods. Look at the gas price we are currently paying. These are form of taxes that everybody pays.

Democrats had their chance when they took over in 2006. Since then, they didn't create a balance budget. In reality, they weren't serious about it. Initially, Obama created a Fiscal Commission and that was a façade. It was ceremonial pageantry. In fact, Obama ignored the commission’s recommendations and disregarded many of their suggestions from the budget. Now, Obama decides to play leadership. In the speech today, Obama wants to put another commission to solve the problem he refuses to confront. This is called "kicking the can" down the road. Obama is hoping a miracle that the deficit will fix itself.

(Weekly Standard) House Budget chairman Paul Ryan's office highlights "key facts" from Obama's speech:

· Counts unspecified savings over 12 years, not the 10-year window by which serious budget proposals are evaluated.

· Postpones all savings until 2013 – after his reelection campaign.

· Runs away from the Fiscal Commission’s recommendations on Social Security – puts forward no specific ideas or even a process to force action.

Calls for the appointment of another commission, after mostly omitting from his Fiscal Year 2012 Budget any of proposals submitted by the commission he appointed last year.

· Non-specific framework fails to meet his Fiscal Commission's own deficit-reduction goals.

Taxes:
· Proposes to raise taxes on the American people by more than $1 trillion, devastating our fragile economy and stifling job creation.

· Endorsed the Fiscal Commission’s ideas on taxes, which specifically called for lower tax rates and a broader base, but then called for higher tax rates. Which is it?

· Government health and retirement programs are growing at more than twice the speed of the economy. At the current rate of spending, revenue would have to rise “by more than 50 percent” just to keep debt at its current level, according to the Government Accountability Office. That means tax increases across-the-board, now and in the future.

Medicare:
Instead of proposing structural reforms that would actually reduce health care costs, the President proposed across-the-board cuts to current seniors’ care.
· Strictly limits the amount of health care seniors can receive within the existing structure of unsustainable government health care programs.

· Gives more power to unelected bureaucrats in Washington to determine what treatments seniors should or shouldn’t get, against a backdrop of costs that continue to rise.

· Conceded that the relentlessly rising cost of health care is the primary reason why the nation is threatened by debt, and implicitly conceded that his health care law failed to solve the problem.

· Eviscerates the only competitive element anywhere in health-care entitlement programs – the competition amongst Part D prescription-drug plans – which allowed the drug benefit to come in 41 percent under budget.

Medicaid:
Acknowledges that the open-ended financing of Medicaid is a crippling financial burden to both states and the federal government, but explicitly rejected the only solution to this problem, which is to give states the freedom they need to design systems that work for the unique needs of their own populations.

Defense:
Proposes more cuts on top of $78 billion in cuts included in his own defense budget, which he proposed just two months ago – all at a time when he continues to task the military with new missions.

Everybody in DC was on Vacation when Obama Went to War with Libya

Our government is an embarrassment. On the surface, it was a coincidence that the war in Libya started days after Congress decided to go on a 10-day vacation. From quoting Democrat Congress Dennis J. Kucinich, “Who’s minding the store while we’re at war?”, our government was asleep at the helm. Obama finally give an official announcement to our Congress several days after taking upon himself to go to war with Libya. Americans should be vastly concerned that we have an incompetent government. We have not ridden the cancer that is spreading throughout this country. We need more Republicans and all the Democrats voted out in the next elections. Because our economy sucks and the world around us is unraveling, we need a new set of leaders in Washington to fix the mess we are in.

(Washington Times) The world is at war, but Washington is eerily empty, devoid of all the power players who normally foster a soul-searching debate when the country goes on the attack.

President Obama made the decision to bomb Libya from Brazil, the top congressional leadership is all out of town as Congress takes a 10-day vacation, and Vice President Joseph R. Biden spent the weekend in Wilmington, Del. Even Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates was traveling in Russia on Monday.

Now, all four top leaders are gone: House Speaker John A. Boehner was in Ohio for his daughter’s wedding this weekend, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was traveling in Rome on official business after a weekend stop in Afghanistan, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was in Nevada, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is traveling and doing some fundraising this week.

The lack of organized debate in the U.S. contrasts starkly with Britain, where Prime Minister David Cameron faced his colleagues in Parliament directly Monday, and answered their questions.

“Who’s minding the store while we’re at war?” said Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, an Ohio Democrat who tried to spark a debate on military action last week before Congress went on vacation, and who has since called for Congress to reconvene.

“Think about this for a moment. In the last week they had time to garner 10 votes at the U.N., they had time to talk to the Arab League [and consult with] NATO, France and Britain. It seems the administration talked to everyone but the United States Congress, which has the constitutional authority to commit this country to war,” Mr. Kucinich said.

The Democrats are the Real Party of NO

(Fox News) From Washington to Wisconsin, the battles over government spending are clarifying which party is the real Party of No. It's Democrats in a landslide.

They say no to deficit and debt reduction. No to bringing sanity to public-employee costs. And Hell No to voters who want smaller, less-expensive government.

So much for President Obama's plea for an "adult conversation" on entitlements. Maybe he meant "adult" as in XXX.

His was an especially cynical posture because his partymates were helping to whip up a frenzy among teachers and others in Wisconsin. A proposal there for unions to agree to givebacks in their Cadillac benefit plans and lose the right to negotiate future benefits was met with a near-riot.Obama supported the unions and Dem legislators are hiding in other states to avoid voting. Meanwhile, schools were shut so teachers could march to prove their dedication to themselves, err, children.

Wisconsin's new GOP governor, Scott Walker, invited Obama to butt out. "We're focused on balancing our budget," he told reporters. "It would be wise for the president and others in Washington to focus on balancing their budget, which they are a long way from doing."

Democrats Game Plan is to Blame Republicans for a Government Shutdown

The Democrats game plan is a scare tactic using class warfare as their initial assault. Next will be a cowardly blame game on the Republican party. This is typical of Democrats. It would be wiser to follow the Wisconsin Democrats and leave town. This whole thing is a joke. The Democrats are claiming that cutting $100 billion will affect society adversely. The budget deficit is in the trillions of dollar and the Democrats are complaining $100 billion. Let the shutdown of the government happen. This time around the American people understands the dilemma this country faces. The American people are more educated that Washington is corrupt. It is ironic how the Democrats are trying to find their way to the American people after ignoring them for the past 4 year. Democrats in Washington are a bunch of scumbags.

(The Hill) Democrats headed back to their districts for the Presidents Day recess hope to drive home the message that Republicans should be blamed if the fight over spending cuts ends in a government shutdown.

House Democrats were still deciding Friday on how much advertising to buy during the week, but they had settled on a message of pointing out specific cuts in the House GOP spending bill and portraying them as unreasonable, a Democratic strategist said.

Democrats will tell constituents that the GOP bill will kick 218,000 children out of Head Start, cause 7,000 special education teachers to loose their jobs, devastate cancer and diabetes research and deny assistance to homeless veterans.

Key part of the Democrats’ messaging strategy will be to place the blame on the Republicans if an agreement on the CR can not be reached and the government is forced to shut down.

If Republicans cuts are successfully painted as unreasonable, then it is easier to blame them if a shutdown occurs, a Democratic aide said.

One aspect of the message is that the spending bill “destroys jobs” at a time of economic recovery. It says Democrats will trim spending by “going after tax loopholes and wasteful subsidies, instead of the reckless and indiscriminate cuts in the GOP spending plan.”

Democrats will also point to efforts they were made by their party to save American jobs. They will highlight attempts to pass a Build America Bonds initiative and a bill ending government contracts for companies that offshore jobs, according to the House Democrats “District Work Plan.”

In 2012 Election, 24 Democrats Seats are up for Re-election that Needs to Be Voted Out

A nice reminder how your vote in last November election was a waste of time. Look at those Incumbent Democrats, who promised to repeal Obamacare, lied to the voters. For instance, look at West Virgina Democrat Senator Manchin. He supported and voted for Obamacare. During his 2010 Senate campaign, he promised to repeal it. The 2012 election is coming next year. There will be 24 Democrat seat up for re-election vs. 10 Republican seats. Don't be an "noob" and let the Democrats lie to you again!

Democrats Telling Obama to F-OFF

If this was a Republican talking this way, they would been thrown out of office. Liberal are bunch of unhinged idiots

(NewsBusters) — Roll Call reported Thursday that during a heated meeting of House Democrats to discuss Barack Obama’s tax compromise plan, an unknown member was heard saying, “F–k the President.”

According to Howard Fineman, appearing on MSNBC’s “Countdown,” that was not the sole F-word expressed in disgust for the President at this contentious gathering (video follows with transcript and commentary):

KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST: In Nancy Pelosi’s last month as Speaker, and the last month of Democrat control of the House of Representatives, Democrats stood up against Republicans and against the President. Our fifth story tonight, after a rowdy, dramatic, closed door meeting of House Democrats in almost total unison on this issue, the Speaker of the House says the President’s tax plan will not get a vote in the House without changes, or as one unidentified Democratic member of Congress put it, according to the newspaper Roll Call, quote, “F the President,” unquote.

After discussing the state of the plan with Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank, Olbermann brought in Fineman:

OLBERMANN: Let’s turn to MSNBC political analyst Howard Fineman, also senior political editor of the Huffington Post. Good evening, Howard.

HOWARD FINEMAN, THE HUFFINGTON POST: Hi, Keith.

OLBERMANN: This has been an extraordinary week in this debate between these two parts of the Democratic Party. But this quote, “F the President?” Kind of strong. What can you tell us about the, the, the Democratic revolt in the House this morning?

FINEMAN: Well, like Barney Frank, I wasn’t there either, but I did talk to a lot of people who were, and it was pretty startling. There was, there was sotto voce apparently, you know, not too loud, an “F the President.” There was a, there was a “No f-ing way.” There was a “He F-ed it up.” You know, we had a fairly liberal use of the F-word inside those closed doors, and there was a lot of anger. And, and, and frankly the President’s appearance before this same group of people yesterday, when he tried to explain his side of things, didn’t help. As a matter of fact, it just made things worse is my understanding of it. One member I talked to said if this is the way he’s going to negotiate with the Republicans, what’s he going to do with the Iranians, you know?

Only Way Democrats Can Win the 2010 Mid-Term Election is by CHEATING

The 2010 Mid-Term Election is just 6 days away and it seems the only way Democrats can win is by cheating. In recent memory, many of the shenanigans during the election are attributed by Democrats and this year is no different. Democrats will use any means to disenfranchise the American voters. From the stupid hanging chad fiasco in 2000, we have seen Democrats miraculous produce missing ballot boxes, rigging voting machine to vote Democrat, allowing Democrats to vote in more than one district, Democrat supporters shunning Republicans from voting (Black Panther), and refusing to allow Absentee Ballots to be counted.

Just today, there are numerous reports of voter fraud around the United States. All of them favoring unpopular Democrats. If by next Tuesday show that every poll favoring Republicans a landslide victory as false, the Washington establishment and Liberal elite should expect a major revolution like never seen in this country.

Pa. Democrat admits helping Tea Party candidate

Republicans have accused Democrats of helping set up Tea Party candidates as spoilers in several House and Senate races around the country. Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Fl) is in a legal court battle accused of playing dirty politics for supporting a Tea Party candidate in his congressional Florida district. Now, Bryan Lentz, the Democratic nominee running for the seat being vacated by Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.), said he knew that volunteers from his campaign helped Tea Party candidate Jim Schneller. Finally, a Democrat admits helping Tea Party candidate to stack the elections to favor the Democrat candidate. Since Democrats will do anything like cheating to win an election, they are facing a tough political environment less than two weeks before the mid-term election. Let's add this type of shenanigans along with the Al Frankin "mysterious ballot box", ACORN, voter fraud, black panthers, and bribing high school students with ice cream to vote Democrat. At this point, Democrats are showing their true colors of desperation when they are trying to maintain their congressional majorities against a GOP wave spurred in part by Tea Party movement.
