I came upon a great idea today.
We all know this "stimulus" bill isn't going to stimulate anything other than our debt and possibly a few hundred temporary jobs. Why bother giving small businesses tax cuts & helpful credits for hiring... when they can't afford to hire anyone else and are already cutting back on current employee hours? None of us have money to support businesses when we can barely make our own ends meet. A real stimulus would be to repeal Obamacare.
My great idea is for the Republicans to agree to "vote" on his bill. Though of course, a democrat is going to have to sponsor it first to make it eligible for a vote- which nobody has stepped up to do yet. No surprise there, I wouldn't want my name on it either if I was trying to get re-elected.
So when it comes up for vote, they all pull and Obama and vote "present." Let the democrats vote for it. If it passes, then whatever (doesn't) happen will be 100% in the laps of the democrats next fall at election time. I'm done compromising with these fools. They have no clue. Let them sink their own ship. Any RINOs who want to vote for it, they can... so we can kick them out too. They're useless!
.....anyone else hear crickets when trying to find CNN or the nightly news reporting on the republican gain of Weiner's seat? First time in 88 years held by a Rep. This would be HUGE news if it was reversed. The bias is just overwhelming.

Liberal Talking Points
Last evening I had a discussion with one of my husband's friends. He was informed that I was a "Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck lover" - which is not entirely true but in any case he felt the need to tell me why I was incorrect.
I told him I prefer listening to what Limbaugh has to say more so than those two and he immediately went into a tirade about drug addiction and prostitutes. It was clear that Limbaugh scares him, as does Palin (who I admitted I would've voted for full steam ahead in 2008 if she was the presidential candidate). I explained how Glenn Beck's shows from a year or two ago were slowly coming true. Sadly when he demanded examples I wasn't able to think of them quickly enough (having a DJ blaring Justin Bieber in the background wasn't exactly helping my thought process either. I always relate back to Sarah Palin's "what supreme court cases most affected you" question from Katie Couric a few years back when I can't immediately access my past memories to grab small details quickly - there's a lot of stuff in our brains and sometimes we just can't think quick enough on our feet).
I informed him that while I like Sarah's principles, she's by far turning into a divider more so than a uniter. If we need anything in this conntry right now, it's a uniter. I'm willing to compromise a few of my beliefs to vote for a candidate who is best at bringing people together in 2012. We need to stop fighting and get down to the business of saving our country from depression, long-term decline, and major debt.
I am really excited to see what Herman Cain has to offer the 2012 presidential field. I will not vote for Palin. I will not vote for Romney. I would pick Libertarian or other third party candidate over them at this point. I like Huckabee a lot but I think he may turn off a lot of people with his ultra strong Evangelical beliefs. I absolutely hate saying something like that, but it's how I feel at this point. However, he would be an EXCELLENT VP candidate along someone the likes of Cain, or possibly Gingrich.
Back to liberal talking points... while debating with my husband's friend, he brought up how Republicans hate big government but we got into two wars under Bush. I kindly explained that Bush was not at all a fiscal conservative his last term, how 99% of the public supported the wars (though he claims he did not support them from the get go- if this is true, I think that is quite impressive), and how the government provides for common defense in our constitution and at that time to defend America we had to go hunt down terrorists who killed 3,000+ innocent people.
I told him I just had no idea how he stood for what he did, and how I could not at all see where he was coming from. He shared the same feeling with me. Then we talked about our dogs. This is how political discourse should be. Hard hitting, but argue your points and move on if the other side won't listen.
It will be interesting how things shake out the next few months here. I hope the conservatives stay on track and continue to cut spending. That's what we sent them for, and they shouldn't worry that the democrats will slander them all day long and berate them for "not caring" about every group and sec of the country. We the people who voted understand the task at hand. Cut, cut cut until you can't cut no more. I hope that the next time I hear someone whine about how the services that "are being cut by mean republicans" that I have the strength to explain to them, exactly, how much FOURTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS is. Especially the people crying about NPR. Good grief, why in the world is this station still around on our dime? If they can't succeed on their own, then they ought to go out of business. That's how the market works, federal government. Get a clue.
My husband and I make well under $100,000 combined. However we live BELOW our means so we can afford our house payment, our cars, and fund our retirement while still having the extra dollar or two for entertainment. It's really not that difficult if you start with only what you need, and stop before you ever get to 'wants.' Yes, I want a DVR. I loved my 3 month free DVR trial. But I don't want to pay another $6 a month for it, so it's gone. I really, really, hope and pray the government continues down the same slash and cut path.

Chris Christie for President!
This woman should move out of the country right now. Christie is the man, I'm glad that someone is standing up to the liberals with facts!

Qur'an burning
This is definitely one of the bigger news stories in the last couple of weeks... and I wanted to share some thoughts. Just like building the mosque, nobody really questions that this pastor has the right to burn these books. It may not be the smartest thing to do, but it is legal by all US laws.
Now, why is it that we are so offended by this as Christians? Of course, because most of us are a calm, docile type of believer and we do not believe in inflicting unnecessary harm or undue hatred. Burning a pile of holy books doesn't accomplish much other than to incite the terrorists and extremists something to gather around in their anti-Christianity and 'anti-anything that is not Muslim' wars they've created.
But, why aren't we supporting him for this? He is the crazy one who wants to do this, why are we all so scared of Muslims? Sure the extreme Muslims are quite scary and the last thing we want is anything close to another 9/11, but why don't we stand up to them? We should let them know we don't believe in what they're learning and what they're teaching, right? This is the question my husband posed to me.
I believe it is because we have nobody leading the charge. Our president surely doesn't give a damn about peaceful countries, he's basically told our allies to 'screw off' while he tries to appease all the crazy, terrorist-aiding, Shari'a law abiding countries. If our President and the country's most visible leaders can't stand up to the extremists, how are Americans going to get up the nerve to do it? Our President actually thinks building a Mosque near ground zero is okay! Clearly, he must not have much memory of 9/11 or have known anyone associated with those who were injured or killed. We need someone to set an example, not to be a follower/appeaser.
If GW was in office, I believe there would be a different reaction to the current Muslim terrorist states. We would completely ignore them, which is what we should do. If you get beat up on the playground, are you going to go over to Big Billy Bob and ask him to come over this weekend? NO! You're going to stay as far away from him as possible. The President has no idea how to handle foreign affairs and has no idea what is in the best interests of this country. He has made that perfectly clear with his tax and spend policies, and his failed politics.
95% of Christians are speaking out against this pastor and his small church, yet a mosque being built as a symbol of "conquering" NYC and the twin towers area, and we barely hear a peep from believers. Where are all the non-extreme Muslims at? Why aren't they protesting the mosque? I've heard many times there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim, I'm starting to believe it as there are very VERY few people speaking out against the extremist Muslims.
My personal thought is this pastor will cause more harm than good in the long run, but maybe not if Americans stand up and say "look, we can draw pictures of Mohammed, we can burn Qur'ans, we have freedom of religion and freedom of speech here and you can't take it away from us." I only hope that day when we can stand up to these minority groups happens sooner rather than later.

How did Congress manage to spend more money during their vacation?
Even when Congress isn't supposed to be wasting our tax dollars while on their wonderfully long vacations, Pelosi calls them back to vote on yet another bailout. I thought the bleeding would stop for a few months while they are away but alas, the democrats felt the need to spend spend spend some more. They clearly have an addiction that needs professional help.
$26 billion. Paid for by 'future cuts to food stamps' which democrats turned around and said they will fight to make sure it doesn't happen. So they're trying to make unions happy to vote for them this fall, but fearing they will lose the food stamp crowd, try to appease them as well. What a crock. Just tell us the truth- this will be added to the deficit.
$16 billion for Medicaid, which is just failing and failing. States can't stop overspending and nobody seems even remotely concerned about the payouts being so much more than the intakes. The Heritage Foundation states that 30 states actually added money to their budget assuming the bailouts would continue. Where is the individual responsibility here??? 20 states wind up taking the fall for 30 who can't get their financial houses in order. Sorry, but to those 30 states I would say you are on your own. $10 billion for the union/teacher bailouts. This will 'save 100K jobs' - so you're telling me you have to pay teachers $100,000 EACH??? That is garbage. A good job in any other non-union industry is $50,000. Bring government and union wages in line with real folks and then we'll be able to hire nearly every unemployed soul in the USA. The average private sector employee, with benefits added in, makes something in the 50-60K range. The average government employee makes 110-125K with benefits added in. Nearly DOUBLE! No wonder why this country is quickly falling into debt hell. Some moron union boss from the AFL-CIO says we are not running a deficit or in danger of defaulting. What planet is he from? You don't need much education to become a union boss, as clearly he didn't have to study economics too much.
More reports coming out that private sector isn't hiring, only government is and that's why the unemployment numbers haven't gone up. Well duh. Private sector businesses have NO CLUE what is going to be coming their way in a week, let alone a month, or a year to plan their future. They're just trying to stay afloat until a clear path is set. I pray to God that this fall people in this country stand up and find their voices. We need to take the country back and let businesses know that it's okay to hire- we're not going to double your taxes or add hefty VAT taxes or something of that nature to your business.
I received an email forwarded from my uncle this week discussing a 28th amendment. A few of the important points from this email:
-Members of Congress can retire after one term and receive the same pay the rest of their lives
-Members of Congress do not pay into Social Security
-Members of Congress are exempt from fear of prosecution for sexual harassment
-Members of Congress are exempt from Healthcare Reform
The point of the email is to propose a new amendment to the constitution:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
I don't see why this isn't already in the constitution? But I wish we could find a way to get it in there as soon as humanly possible. They cannot possibly understand "normal" people if they're exempt from everything they force upon us!
Side note to Robert Gibbs... put in your two weeks notice, write a book about the inner workings of the Obama administration and come to the right side of politics. Contact Dick Morris for details on how to switch parties effectively.

Miscellaneous Items
I've got a lot of random items to comment on this morning....
Senate race in PA. I am from PA so I hold this near and dear to my heart. Though it was great to see Arlen Specter defeated, it would've been nice for him to win so Toomey would be a shoo-in to office. As it stands the idiots in this state (mostly the people who live in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh- who are pretty much the only democrats in the entire state) have the race pretty close right now. The latest Rasmussen poll shows 45% Toomey and 39% Sestak. While that is higher than recent weeks, it is still uncomforting to know 4 out of 10 PA residents think this guy has their best interests at heart. 8 years of Rendell with Bob 'no backbone' Casey and old man party switching Specter representing us? Something has to change. Pittsburgh has been going downhill for DECADES because it has been run by democrats for SIXTY years. Property taxes are high, we can't sustain public transit (talking point two... why is public transit supposed to be provided by the government? Why can't it be privatized?), the Pittsburgh public schools are absolutely horrific, there are 3 or 4 neighborhoods that are just horribly crime and poverty ridden where nobody will travel unless they are from there or are really brave- or they get lost. Sestak voted with Pelosi's agenda 100% of the time, and is now trying to distance himself. HA. He supports Cap & Trade, to me that is reason enough not to vote for him.

Failing public transit systems. There's been a lot of talk in Pittsburgh about our failing public transit system. Most Pittsburghers drive where they need to go, since the town isn't all that big anymore (300K people or so... down tremendously from 15 years ago) everyone driving isn't a huge issue. Just two years ago Dan Onorato, the CEO of Allegheny County, imposed a 10% drink tax on poured alcoholic beverages two years ago. This was to pay for public transit primarily. They had a higher than predicted revenue the first year, so they lowered it to 7% in 2010. Now it comes out that over 50 bars/pubs/etc have closed down because they couldn't raise their prices and thus can't afford the basic daily expenses anymore. One of my favorite dance places was shut down because they failed to pay their taxes. So now the transit is cutting 35% of their routes this fall because they're underfunded. THEN WHAT WAS THE DRINK TAX FOR, DAN? Pittsburgh should allow bidding for a private company to take over mass transit. I guarantee better service, better rates. Oh but the democrats won't give up something they can tax us for and use as leverage for increasing spending. Dan Onorato is running for governor.... oh please Pennsylvanians, do something smart for once. Don't elect him.
Education System changes. Obama is pushing to change public education without congressional approval or public knowledge. I got a notice from The Heritage Foundation about this. I had NO IDEA all the slimy, skeezy, closed door deals that were going on to fundamentally change the way kids learn. It's bad enough the history books are edited to show a liberal point of view rather than a truthful point of view. When it affects millions of children, shouldn't congress and the senate be voting on these things? Nope, instead they were given bailout money to spend however they want. Setting national standards and pulling grant money when schools don't hit their standards won't do jack squat. The 90-percentile from the elite schools will only try to hit the 75 percentile government standard. The horrendous schools drag down that average. What will help schools improve? School choice and vouchers. Let the parents choose where to send their kids. Letting the market decide will surely weed out bad schools and bad teachers. Letting bureaucrats decide is a horrible idea. I am all for abolishing the public education system and letting schools privatize. Let them charge enrollment fees and have parents buy the books the kids use, etc etc. Eliminate property taxes that are a burden to many- especially those who don't have children and don't need to subsidize failing schools. I have a very modest 3 bedroom 1 bath house on about a 1/4 acre lot. My school taxes are $3,500 a year. I do not yet have kids, but plan to. I am completely fine paying this amount as tuition or enrollment so I can send my kids to a good district.
Sherrod v. Breitbart. Apparently Shirley is saying she plans to sue Breitbart. I sure hope she plans to sue the NAACP and the White House too, since the NAACP is the source for the video (as far as we know), and the President forced her to resign. Oh wait, that's right, she's a democrat... why would she bother to throw her own under the bus? What a hypocrite.
Okay my window replacement guy is here, so this was more abbreviated than I anticipated. :)
