During the West Virginia senate race this year against Republican John Raese, Governor Joe Manchin has flip-flopped so many times, he is beginning to look like a pretzel. He has turned into a right wing conservative from a staunch supporter of liberal policies and of Barrack Obama's vision for this country.
He has turned 180 degrees on health care reform.He stated earlier this year that he would have totally supported the Health Care Bill. Then as John Raese closed ground and he understands that the majority of the country does not support this bill, he decided that he would go the other way with the excuse that the bill was too obtrusive and that he didn't understand what was in it because of the size of the bill.If that was the case, and we all knew this, then why would he support something in the first place if he didn,t know what was in it? To answer my own question, it is because he is a liberal Democrat and he supports Obama and his policies--end of story.If you elect Manchin, he will be a rubber stamp for Obama and his policies.
He also supports some form of cap and trade.He knows that with his state being a hughe player in the coal industry, that he had to flip-flop on that too to get elected.Wake up West Virginia, this man will say anything to get elected, then he will be just like the rest of the liberal when they get to Washington and vote how he really feels and leave you and the state asking what happened.
Please come to your senses and vote for a new man, a man who has not flip-flopped for political convenience. The carree politician will say anything, anywhere, anytime to get elected. West Virgina has a chance to elect new blood and someone who has experience as a busissman .If he doesn't work out, then you can elect someone else next time, instead of sending the same ones back over and aver again.
Seize this moment and vote for John Raese.

REP. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN AND WASHINGTON PUNDITS
Yesterday on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace,when discussing the polls on Tuesday elections,Rep. Chris Van Hollen, Democrat MD., stated that the "one thing that the American people don't like is Washington pundits telling them in advance what they're going to do.
Let me be the first to agree with Mr.Van Hollen. The fact is that we make up our own minds based upon our beliefs and principles in how we vote.Maybe that is because we are just too dumb and stupid to take any advice from the experts.You see, we the ordinary people ,are just ignorant redneck,uneducated hick simpletons located in flyover country.
Here are a few things that we truck driving(with gun racks),tobacco chewing, slow talking, and just plain stupid people do object to that the Washington pundits tell us.
This certainly includes the politicians.
1.We don't like it when the Congress stuffs massive pieces of legislation down our throats,especially when they don't even know what is in it themselves,such as the Health Care Law.A bill which is over 2000 pages long and not even the sophisticated legislators say they don't understand, as was exposed during the town hall meetings they held.
2.Speaking of the town hall meetings, we especially despise the attitude of the Congressmen and Senators, when they dismiss us as ignorant of the facts.I would say that we knew and know more about Obamacare than they do.We don't like the fact that they talked down to us, as if we just didn't realize how good this bill would be for us all.Some even told us to sit down and shut up.
3.We don't like it when the Speaker of the House,Ms. Pelosi,tells us that we have to pass the bill before we can know what is in it. Are you kidding me?And we wonder why our education system is failing when the third most powerful person in the United States says something like that,and more disturbing is the fact that many people believe this.
4.We don't like it when the Federal Government bails out certain corporations and then takes over the management of said corporations,such as GM.
5.We don't like it when our President continually runs down this great country when he says we have been dismissive, even derisive.When he tells Latino groups he is speaking to that people who disagrees with them are our enemies and that they must be punished. We can't understand why someone who said he would bring us all together has now divided this country even more by his actions and words.
6.We don't like it when people who work in his administration tell the people they are talking to that this country needs to redistribute wealth.This country was built on free trade and capitalism and individual responsibility.
7.We don't like it when elected officials tell us that they don't care what the Constitution says.
8.We don't like it the politicians tell us that the Government is losing money when we pay fewer taxes as if the money that we make belongs to them instead of the person who worked for it and we should be grateful they allow us to keep.
9.We don't like it when they tell us we need to raise taxes to git rid of the deficit when they continue to spend our money in such wasteful ways that no business could survive more than a year if it was run like the Government.
10.We don't like all of the needless rules and regulations that are simply someone idea on how to control us.
11.We don't like all of the bloated bureaucratic agencies that the Government has implemented and looks as if not stopped will continue to add more.
12.We don't like it when you tell us what we can and cannot eat or drink.
13.We don't like it when you tell us what we can or cannot drive.
14.We don't like it when you tell us that we must turn our thermostats down when you and your staff do as they please.
15.We don't like it when as candidates, you say you stand for just the opposite than what you voted for.See Joe Manchin,candidate for West Virgina Senator.
16.We don't like it when politicians tell us they voted a certain way for a bill, when they were making back room deals and checking to see if their vote was needed to pass the bill,so they might be able to vote the other way to save their seat.
17.We don't like it when our President says that new coal companies can come in but the legislation passed under his watch will bankrupt them.
18.We don't like it when the President says Cap And Trade legislation he favors would necessarily cause electric rates to skyrocket.
19.We don't like it when illegal immigrants are allowed to come across the border and feed off of our hospitals,emergency rooms, schools,and all of the Government giveaways.
20.We don't like it when the President quotes the Declaration Of Independence that he leaves the word Creator out.He has done this more than once.
21.We don't like it when Senators and Congressmen stand on the floor and accuse our brave military people of criminal acts with no proof.
22.We don't like it when our military people,who give us our freedom, are not afforded the basic right of voting.They should be the first to vote.
So Mr.Van Hollen,I could go on and on.I hope you understand what is coming and that by the actions of the politicians has brought this on.We were happy to make our living, raise our children, and worship as we please, but enough is enough.The media and Dems have said we are angry.That isn't the word for it,But you can't say that we didn't warn you.We called your offices,e-mailed you, attended town hall meetings, and tried every way we knew to get you to listen.You REFUSED.Your arrogance has overwhelmed us , but now we get to decide and if the ones that are elected this time are more of the same, they will be booted out too.
So what do you think? Do you think by reading this that we don't like to be told what to do by the pundits and politicians.Oh that's right, you didn't mention politicians when you made your statement to Chris Wallace yesterday.But you see, the pundits don't pass legislation,you do.

RECOVERY SUMMER OR COLLAPSING FALL
Vice President Joe Biden told us earlier this year that our economy would experience a recovery summer because of the Keynesian theories that the past and present administration implemented over the last two years.But there are many signs that we are entering into a Fall of Collapse instead of a Summer of Recovery. The unemployment rate continues to be high at 9.5%,new claims for unemployment are rising instead of falling,business are hoarding cash because of the uncertainty, and foreclosures are still up.
Earlier this year ,Obama told the country that the Republicans drove our economy in the ditch and that they couldn't have the keys back. They give no credence to the fact that Congressman Barney Frank and the progressive Congress helped the housing collapse by allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to contribute mightily to he problem.The question is,looking at the economic data,are we going in the right direction. It looks like this administration and Congress are driving the wrong way on a one way street. The majority of the country feels like we are going to wreck our economy even further if we continue on this path that the Dems are leading us.We need to close the left lane, keep out of the median,and merge right.
This road to recovery is creating more unemployment while driving under the influence of a Democratic controlled Congress And A Progressive administration. We need to take them off the highway before the economy crashes head on with economic sense and totaling beyond repair.This great country was created by Capitalism in which some make it and some fail.It is the envy of the world.We must not cross the yellow center line but stay right of center.The only thing the Government needs to do is create the environment for success by relaxing rules and regulations, not by imposing more bureaucratic control.
A record amount of spending has done little or nothing to improve the problems we face. Yet we continue down this road as many liberal are calling for even more spending with money that we don't have.The programs,such as cash for clunkers,housing tax credits, weatherproofing, and stimulus money that was thrown away by not policing where it went, has done nothing but put off the reality that we have to go through some pain before we improve.
The health care bill that was passed has kept companies form hiring because they know don't know how it will effect them,with the exception that it will definitely cost much more. These companies will learn to do more with less because of survival.Many of the jobs will probably never return.
In the past twenty months This President and Congress have continually violated the speed limit in passing Hugh pieces of legislation that will have dire consequences on our economy.They don't even entertain the thoughts of unintended consequences that will surface from these bills.We found out that they don't even read the bills, going as far to say they that it is waste of time to do so.The man who headed up the Senate on this bill,Senator Max Bacus,told a questioner that he had more important things to do.So they hire experts to draw up the bills while they let lobbyists to write the bills.Tell us what you do Senator besides campaigning and begging for money. We need to pull them over and take them off the road to recovery for reckless driving and speeding by passing unpopular bills by the majority of the people.
So Obama said that the Republicans drove the economy in the ditch, yet his administration has flunked the drivers test.We need to take away their drivers license for good, not just suspend them.We can accomplish some of this in November, but we must also call our Congressman and Senators to let them know how we ought to go forward.

Chuck Todd and George Stephanopoulos Ask What More Do People Want From Obama
Chuck Todd,on Thursday's MSNBC's Morning Joe, was flabbergasted that there was so much negative sentiment for Obama ,particularly coming form Wall Street. There were a lot of Wall Street people who voted for Barrack Obama in the 2008 election,but now they are beginning to realize that they may have made a mistake.Todd commented that when it comes to business, he hasn't done that much.Where have you been Chuck? Do you not read your own reports?
Obama just signed a 2300 page sweeping overhaul of financial regulations that will affect all of America,not just Wall Street big wigs. Once again, we are learning as we go that, the legislation will have significant unintended consequences. It is another huge piece of legislation that probably no Senator or Congressman has read,much less able to comprehend.Remember,Nancy Pelosi told us that they have to pass the bill to find out what is in it.
George Stephanopoulos of ABC's Good Morning America, another example of objective reporting from the Liberal mainstream media, asked Rep Dennis Kucinich what more could have Obama done? Of course, Kucinich is disappointed that Obama has done more to establish the left wing agenda.
So what about the question that what else could Obama do and why are the people upset with this administration.Maybe we can help these two independent souls out a little so they can breathlessly report some of the reasons that voters are upset with Obama.
First, this economy is in shambles and getting worse mainly because of the policies of this Congress and Administration. The unemployment figures are going the wrong direction every week.Housing starts are falling,even as the 30 year fixed mortgage rate is as low or lower than it has ever been at 4.44%.The huge financial regulation bill will bring about punitive results on banks and businesses across the spectrum.We still will have too big too fail,so the heads can pick and choose who will continue to operate. All of these added costs will eventually be passed on to the consumer.
Second,the ObamaCare bill that was signed into law will bring about higher insurance costs to all of us.We are already seeing big increases in premiums which will be blamed solely on the providers.The problem is, that for the to stay in businesses, they have to make a profit.They already operate on some of the smallest profit margins in all of businesses.
Third, they bailed out failing companies that have cost the taxpayer billions of dollars.Just as everyone has the freedom to succeed,they should have the freedom to fail.This is what makes capitalism so great.That is,it weeds out the bad ones and rewards the successful one. By bailing out these bad run businesses,it only delays the inevitable and makes things worse over the long haul.
Fourth,the American citizens are tired of hearing their commander in chief run down this great country.We don't need a president apologizing for America.This country has done more the development of the world than any other country in the history of the world.We donate by far more money and time than any other country and will continue to do so.The American people are the most generous and caring people in the world.
Fifth,we have an administration that wants to control every aspect of our lives.They genuinely believe that they know what is better for our lives than we ourselves do.Everything from health care ,what we eat ,what we drive,what kind of energy we should use,how we build houses and buildings,and what we should say.
Sixth,Obama has rushed to judgment involving police matters and has refused to comment or take action on ill legal immigration,which is currently jeopardizing the lives of hardworking law abiding Americans on their own property.
He has appointed left wing radicals to positions in the Government,some of which are admitted Communists, Chairman Mau admires ,Hugho Chavez followers and Marxists believers.This country has fought against these kind of dictators all through its history.So now we have a President who apparently feels this is the way for this country to advance.
Seventh,as Obama told Joe the plumber in 2008 during the campaign ,he believes in spreading the wealth.In other words, take from some and give to others. The American people believe in helping others and they give more money to charity than any other country.But the decision should be an individual one , not one that is mandated by the government.
These are just some of the reasons that the voters are upset and want to go in a different direction than Obama is leading us.So Chuck and George, you should get out of Washington and get in the real world, and maybe you might understand that most Americans want the opportunity to succeed on their own and not a bunch of government controlled rules and regulations that actually stymie the growth of this nation.Maybe you have heard that LESS Is More.

CNN's Rick Sanchez Questions AZ State Rep Rick Murphy About Illegal Immigrants
The one and only Rick Sanchez of CNN actually posed the question to State Rep.Rick Murphy,"What is your beef with illegal immigration?" Would you please repeat that Mr. Sanchez,I think the audio is malfunctioning? I know an intelligent top notch reporter,uh, commentator ,uh, another lackey for the left wing for this country,surely didn't ask an Arizona state Rep. what he has against illegal immigration?
We know that CNN's intelligence is way above the heads of us nut job conservatives, but maybe if you talk a little slower we can keep up.You actually asked a member of the Arizona Congress ,who is sworn to uphold the Arizona State Constitution and its laws,just what do have against illegals? You see,Mr. Sanchez, in case you didn't get the memo,we,the United States, are a country of laws.So for you to ask a sworn official of the State this,you must have known that the only answer was that they are breaking the law,nothing personal.But that is what people like you want to imply, that it is not only personal ,but racial.For you and others like you to accuse us of racism every time that conservatives disagree with your views is getting to be very old and tiresome.
We understand the burdens that illegal immigrants are putting upon our country.That is why we have laws for legal immigration.We also understand that most of them come here for a better life.We know this because of what we have here.How would you like for anyone to just walk on your property or house anytime they wanted too?
The people on the border states live in fear and uncertainty because the Federal Government doesn't secure our borders.They endanger the lives not only of the citizens,but also the many border agents and other law enforcement personnel.That is not to say that the bigger part of them are dangerous, but the so called Coyotes that bring them over here are,along with the drug smugglers.So when they fire their AK47's and other weapons at innocent people on their own land,I ask you Mr.Sanchez,why would you think that anyone would have anything against illegal immigrants?
There are some other reasons why most of us,according to almost every poll,want the border secured.If you haven't heard,we are embroiled in a deep recession,almost ten percent unemployment, with real unemployment close to seventeen percent,trillions of dollars worth of debt and many calling to spend even more money that we don't have.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies,there were 6.6 million illegals without health insurance in 2007 who had incomes below 400 percent of the poverty level,which is the income ceiling for the proposed premium credits in the Health Care Bill.This is estimated to cast the taxpayer 30.5 billion every year.We have emergency rooms and hospitals shutting their doors now.According to FAIR, (Federation for Immigration Reform) study,illegals cost 113 billion a year to the U.S.
So I ask you Mr.Sanchez,what do you think that hard working, everyday legal citizens have against illegal immigration, but fully support legal immigration.While we are trying to get this problem under control,why don't you open your property and household to anyone that wants to come here illegally? When all of you people in your ivory towers take actions instead of only words, maybe we can work something out.

Federal Judge Issues an Injunction Against Arizona Immigration Law SB1070
U.S. Judge Susan Bolton issued an injunction on Arizona's SB 1070,the immigration law which was signed into law on April 23,2010.It was to go into effect on July 29Th, 2010.This was in response to the U.S. Justice Department's suit that was filed on July 6Th,2010.
The injunction suspended the law's requirement that law enforcement agencies to check a person's status as to whether or not he or she are here illegally after they have been stopped for some other violation. She also put a hold on the part that required legal immigrants to carry their papers to prove that they are here legally.She also suspended the part that made it illegal to have a job if they weren't here legally.
The Feds have the right to stop anyone to check their status without having to stop them for some other violation.So Arizona's SB 1070 is actually less stringent on this matter.
It seems that the Federal Government doesn't want to enforce the law that is already on the books.The Obama administration likes to so say that the border is safer than it ever has been.That is not saying much,because for the last 25 years it has been wide open.Now what could be a reason for letting illegals to continue to come across the border anyway that they can.? Maybe, just maybe,more votes. Surely not!
In the case of Plyler v. Doe,the court ruled that we cannot conclude that the
States are without power to deter the influx of persons entering the United States against federal law, and whose numbers might have a discernible impact on traditional state concerns.
In a footnote form the Judge's ruling, it states that the police can't be forced to ask anyone about their being here legal or not.But, it says that they may do so on their own.In Lynch v. Cannatella (1987), the Fifth Circuit held that "No statute precludes other federal state, or local law enforcement agencies from taking other action to enforce this nation's immigration laws."
So here we are,at the place where the Federal either won't, or more disturbing, can't enforce our immigration laws.Thus, Arizona passed a law that would help control the illegal population and crime, and now we have an activist Judge slapping an injunction on Sb 1070.
The illegals are overwhelming our hospitals ,emergency rooms, and schools.Many hospital and emergency rooms have shut the doors due to the added financial constraints imposed on them partly due to the problem of taking care of the illegals.
It is past time for the Feds to step up the enforcement of our immigration laws.That would include securing the border first.We hear from many that we need a comprehensive plan to solve the problem.Show us that you can first secure the border and then we can talk about other reforms,such as stopping illegal hiring.
The voters of the country stopped the Congress from passing comprehensive reform( read Amnesty) back in 2007 and 2008.They will have to do it again.Call your Congressman and Senators and let them know how you feel.Everyday, if you have to.

Some Dems in Favor of Extending Bush Tax Cuts Set To Expire at End of 2010
The debate between the Democrats and Republicans whether or not to extend the Bush Tax Cuts, is starting to heat up as the November midterm elections are less than 100 days away.They are set to expire December 31st,2010.
The Dems have always made the case that the tax cuts mainly benefited the wealthy.In fact,the Bush Tax Cuts that were signed into law in 2001,2002, and 2003, granted all U.S. citizens some form of tax relief. Consequently,if they are not extended,it will affect all of us as taxpayers. All of the marginal rates will be
increased,as well as capital gains and dividends.
The majority leader of the Senate,Harry Reid,and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, tell us that the Bush Tax Cuts are the main reason that we are running such huge deficits.The fact is,when tax cuts have been implemented across the board in the past,revenue collected actually increased. In turn,this will also give businesses and employers that much more operating money in which they can use to expand their business and hire new employees.This would certainly be a great improvement in the economic outlook.
We hear from some Democrats, including the Obama administration,that they are considering letting only the cuts for the wealthy to expire.They are defined as a single person making $200,000 or more and a married couple making $250,000 or more.
Last week Democratic Senator Kent Conrad,N.D.,citing the deep recession that we are in,plus high unemployment,has suggested that he and others are considering to extending all of the Bush Tax Cuts. He stated that this is needed to avoid a double-dip recession.
The goal of any business,large or small, is to make a profit.Employees are hired to help reach this goal. When a business cuts its resale prices,it hopes to make more revenue by increasing sales volume and turning over its inventory.If they are successful,it will create more revenue all the way up and down the supply chain. Suppliers will need to furnish more products and more raw materials will be used to make the products. Rising water lifts all boats.This is economics 101.
Call your Congressman and Senators and tell them that we know how to spend the money that we make more so than them. If they want to decrease the deficit,then they should stop all of the obscene wasteful spending.Show us that you can do this first,then we will talk about tax increases.

time to move on
There comes a time in every person's life that he or she must take responsibility for their actions and whatever their role is in the position they hold.For many of us,this takes longer than others.Yes,for some it may never happen.
Leadership has many traits, such as character,integrity,skill,toughness,humility, foresight and many others.Leadership skills are honed during trying times,while others are a natural occurrence due to the make-up of the person holding that position. He must realize the power of the position he holds,not to abuse that power,but use it to help bring about the best possible solution for the situation that confronts him.
That brings us to the current administration.On January 20th,2009,Barrack Obama was sworn into office as the 44th President of the United States.The nation was facing many problems,some severe.This is where leadership must take over.Instead,President Obama and his administration blamed others(George W Bush) everyday,if not numerous times a day, for the obstacles we face as a nation. He has continued to do so for nineteen months.It is long past time to stop saying that he inherited the state we are in and accept the responsibilty to get us on the right track to recovery. We can debate on the means to get there,but blaming the previous administration does nothing to solve the problems.
When the board of a corporation hires a CEO to turn a company around,it does not do so expecting the CEO to continually blame the last CEO as an excuse why that corporation is still struggling nineteen moths later.They expect that CEO to tackle the problems with results.Results come from implementing policies, not fixing blame on someone else. When President Truman said the buck stops here,he meant that he wouldn't pass it off on someone else.
So here we are, nineteen months later,still facing the same problems that have been exacerbated due to the policies that have been implemented by this President and the Congress.
Mr.President,stop acting like a spoiled 10 year old child,and quit blaming others and do your job.

the howler is born
Just what is a howler? To howl is to utter or emit a long,mournful,plaintive sound.It is to cry or wail loudly,as in pain,sorrow,or anger,It can also mean to laugh heartily.With this administration,there have been may opportunities to wail in pain and anger.
The Political Howler will express all of these in the days and months to come.If you keep up with the political world at all these days,you most certainly have experienced the need and desire to engage in some form of howling at the politicians,not to mention the mainstream media.
We will keep you abreast of all the political ramifications that the Obama administration ,the Senate,and the House of Representatives have thrust upon us by their actions and inaction.We certainly have been deluged with these since the inauguration of President Obama and his cronies.It seems to be the case that whatever the Democrats do,they should have done just the opposite or nothing at all.
An example of an action that should have been an inaction was the passing and the implementation of the Health Care and Education Act of 2010.A 2500 page monstrosity,while most of Congress,if not all,didn't even read (Speaker Pelosi stated that we had to pass the bill to know what was in it),will destroy the best health care system in the world.
An inaction that should become an action,is the protection of our southern border.By not doing so, the Federal Government has refused to enforce the laws of the land.They give many excuses,none of witch satisfies the electorate.
Let your Congressman and Senators hear form you.Continue to howl.
