An Open Letter to Congress on Health Care Reform

The Hollywood Republican — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:49:51 +0000

You’re our last and only hope. I am trying to help and comfort a dear friend of mine, Mary L.

She is a young widower of a Marine, killed in action defending our country in Iraq and has one great kid.

A great horror has been cast upon her soul — the loss of her husband and the father of her child. She also lost her job because of a layoff.

Now, she no longer can afford health care insurance, whether under your new health care organization or under her former health care insurer. She can barely afford to pay rent and feed what’s left of her young family.

According to the new health care bill, due to her lack of a job (by no fault of her own), she will be fined several thousand dollars, enforced by the IRS and eventually jailed.

Her dilemma is this. Should she put her kid up for adoption?

Please let me know how I can help her.

I am,

People’s Republic of California Steals Money From Taxpayers’ Paychecks – Your State Is Next

The Hollywood Republican — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:35:43 +0000

As of November 1st, 2009, California taxpayers, at least those who still have a job, were bilked another ten percent from their paychecks — at gunpoint.

Here is the official notice at the California Franchise Tax Board’s website:

“Starting November 1, 2009, a new law (ABX4 17) requires the state wage withholding rates to be increased by 10 percent. This is not a new tax. Withholding schedules are available at the Employment Development Department’s website, edd.ca.gov. Changes to withholding amounts for state taxes can be made by submitting Form DE 4 to your employer.”

Officially, the PRC (not the People’s Republic of China but, rather the People’s Republic of California) claims, “This is not a new tax.”

Really? Tell that to those who still have jobs in a state with ‘officially’ 12.2% unemployment (in reality 19%) they’ll have to make-up for the drunken orgy of an 80% increase in state spending over the last ten years. Yes, that’s NO typo.

Good news is it stands to reason, those without jobs won’t be extorted as they don’t receive paychecks. But, they probably moved out-of-state long ago.

California — Worst State Climate for Businesses

Over the last ten years of this spending orgy, the PRC has increased its budget by an astronomical 80% without any consideration of revenues. According to this year’s Chief Executive magazine’s 2009 “Best & Worst States” survey, California has ranked the worst state in the United States four years in a row.

Congratulations California!

“Our survey, year-over-year proves that those states with the worst records continue to practice the same policies that alienate businesses,” JP Donlon, Editor-in-Chief of Chief Executive magazine

Do you feel better now, California?

I didn’t think so.

The Nutbags Are Out of Control

What the nutbags in California’s government, run by The Governator, are saying to taxpayers is they’re collecting taxes on an ‘accelerated basis’.

If that’s the case, why doesn’t California just send out tax bills for the next ten years of anticipated payroll taxes and balance the budget now?

You know why these nutbags don’t try this scam?

Taxpayers would storm Sacramento with torches, looking for the monster. This way, the People’s Republic of California can bilk the taxpayer and slowly bleed them to death.

Are you sitting down?

The new California law ABX4 17 has no sunset provision. Will taxpayers long forget this rape by next tax season? You decide.

Those footsteps you’re hearing is the stampede of business out of the state, along with taxpayers who are completely fed up. Some actually were born and raised here.

To the other 49 States — Pay attention, you are next

Several states have reportedly begun looking at this PRC option to balance their budgets by bilking their taxpayers. Well, at least those still employed.

The Leftys want your money. They’ll do anything to get it for their own narcissistic pleasures.

Their motto: “We know how to spend your money better than you do.”

Oh, and I didn’t see anything about only the rich being bilked — it’s all taxpayers in California.

When are you going to do something America?

Obama Didn’t Lie — He Took Your Money Like He Said He Would

The Hollywood Republican — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:13:45 +0000

So, how’s that shiny new car you’re driving? You know. The one built by inferior automakers in the U.S.?

CARS (a.k.a. Cash for Clunkers)

Well, the results are in and our government screwed us to the tune of $24,000 per car sold in the Cash for Clunkers program. Let’s just round that off to three billion dollars of your money. A million here, a million there and soon we’re at a billion or three.

No. That’s not a typo.

Only the most powerful nation on earth could spend $24,000 a vehicle in one of the biggest scams perpetrated by the Obama Administration — ObamaNation.

And The Leftys want ObamaCare funded with your money?

According to Edmunds.com, ‘the premier resource for online automotive information’, they figured out the fuzzy math and determined the Cash for Clunkers program cost taxpayers (the ones Obama promised to steal from) an astronomical $24,000 per vehicle sold in the program.

The Leftys don’t care because it’s your money. They know how better to spend your money than you do.

The Class Warfare Specialists don’t care because the ObamaNation is sticking it to rich people — those who make over $65,000 per year.

CARS only saw an approximate increase of 18% in car sales; that’s an extra 125,000 vehicles sold during the scam (program) that would’ve never been sold anyways.

Edmunds.com CEO Jeremy Anwyl said the reason they performed the analysis was two-fold: “[A] complete assessment of the program’s impact and costs,” and the analysis, “can help us to understand the true state of auto sales and the economy.”

The average 9.8 percent unemployment rate (but really 19%) out-of-work American could’ve told him the economy stinks and the automaker-bailout is just another corporate welfare program shoveled onto the backs of taxpayers.

Pretty straightforward. Edmunds.com has no apparent axe to grind. They’re in the business of data analysis. They probably have more PhDs and statisticians working these numbers over than the government.

The Other Shoe (Car) Drops

Are you sitting down?

Anwyl and Edmunds.com’s team of PhDs and statisticians report without the Cash for Clunkers program, “… sales would have been even better.”

I’ll give you time to clean-up your drink you just spit across your computer.

People rushed out to get a government handout when they should’ve saved their money. Probably the same people who got caught up in the sub-prime mortgage scam. Obama said we don’t save as a nation. Hypocrite.

I wonder what the repossession rate is going to be in the next few months? Edmunds.com? You listening?

You Got Screwed America

Once again our government, in order to boost numbers on the depression-leaning economy — to take the heat off ObamaNation — spent $24,000 per car just so they could claim the economic stimulus package was a success.

Show me the money.

George W. Bush once said, “It’s fuzzy math.”

Well, here it is:

125,000 extra cars sold during the program
$3,000,000,000 dollars spent on the program
Equals $24,000 per vehicle sold

Where did the money go? In wasted government time and services.

Click here for the Edmunds.com Press Release

The White House’s Take

Two days after the Edmunds.com report was released, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, in response to questions by Major Garrett of Fox News over the scam, “I’ll go back and look at the math figures on this. I think what’s undeniable, Major, is that the recovery plan is helping the economy grow, right?”

You see. ObamaNation wants you to believe their strategy is working to save America.

Numbers are numbers — best served cold.

Are you mad enough yet, America?

The Problem with Sarah Palin’s Piehole

The Hollywood Republican — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:58:24 +0000

As the country finds itself entrenched in class warfare between those who want Obamacare and those who don’t, one competitor has jogged off the gridiron — for now.

Indeed, Governor Palin has arguably taken more heat in the last year than all in politics combined, save for President Obama. Even some leaders in the Republican Party have found it uncomfortable to stand beside her because of their misguided fears of Lefty wrath coming down upon them, too. Let me change ‘leaders’ to ‘posers’ as the kids say. If you’re too old to know what poser means, ask the kids. They know. They’re our future.

Have you noticed, now that Palin is on the sidelines, the Lefty media has focused all its attention on the Nazis, Tea Partiers and Astroturfers?

The NTA Organization (a.k.a. Shills for the Rich)

When Americans have absolutely had enough of government over-taxing them and their heirs and their heirs, they take to tea parties and townhall meetings to ‘meet’ their representatives in Congress to have their voices heard. Boy did the Poliopaths get an ear full. So, the Poliopaths did what they always do — the policy of attack and distraction.

Funny. I get that a lot in Hollywood.

Chris Matthews of MSNBC’s “Hardball” is giddy at the prospect he can interview Senator Barbara “Ma’am” Boxer (D-Calif) on Obama-protestors. Warning: You should not be eating while watching this clip.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) has been gobbling up air time denouncing the Nazis, Tea Partiers and Astroturfers (NTA) as, well, phonies and shills for the rich. Notice she chose KTVU in San Francisco, the home of Lefty World Headquarters.

Dennis Miller commented this week that Pelosi couldn’t even deliver a good line with the ‘Astroturf’ reference.

Pay No Attention to the Poliopath Behind the Door

What’s this I call a ‘Poliopath’? How about a politician who is a sociopath when it comes to their constituents — the people who elected them. They could care less about you and your issues, and more about furthering their political careers and pensions. Do you get a pension after five years of work?

Ronald Reagan nailed it when he said, “No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.”

Rather than moving towards real health care and tort reform, the Leftys are going to force their government program down your American throat, whether it’s the right thing to do or not.

The Leftys want to be your nanny.

The Republicans are hanging on for their dear political lives.

You are reading this wondering how you can make a difference? You work, pay your bills, pay your taxes — wait, you pay your taxes first — and then wonder if you can make it on what’s left.

Has it gotten so bad in Washington that the unwashed masses are now marching in the streets with torches looking for the monster? It has and will continue to be.

The monster is behind that door. Poliopaths have to be removed from office as the current class warfare is a sign of times to come, if they are not voted out of office.

Obama’s Political Life in Jeopardy

Yes, Obama is currently in a battle for his political life with his health care reform bill. If it doesn’t pass, his presidency will forever be labeled with an asterisk and I’m certain it won’t be one delineating his place in history being that of the second (first) African American president. To him and the Democrats, this bill must pass or else. Or, else we’ll all die.

At least if it passes, we’ll all have what Palin coined, “The Death Panel” review. I’m getting my life resume in order, just in case.

Rush Limbaugh was right — Obama’s policies and socialism need to fail. And fail fast, I say.

As far as ‘his bill’ is concerned, this really is a pile of pulp which no one has admittedly read. The Leftys have resurrected BillaryCare from the ’90s like disco at Karaoke night. Obama just happens to be the go-to-guy the Leftys have in The White House to hoist this upon America’s back.

Almost Forgot: Palin’s Piehole

Governor Palin has and is everything the Lefty’s hate. And I mean hate:

Longtime Marriage
Large Family
Female with Real Power
Chose Life Over Abortion (THAT really sticks in their craw)
Dared Oppose The Messiah (a.k.a. The Chosen One)
Believes in less government as opposed to the Nanny State
Hunts and fishes (i.e. guns and getting messy)
…you get the idea

Palin is young, attractive and can hold her own when it comes to debate, contrary to what Lefty’s think. She has a huge family by today’s standards and supports them without government welfare. The Lefty’s really hate that one.

I could hold your awe for hours telling you the stories I’ve heard in Hollywood about why the Lefty’s hate Palin. The smears and attacks. Absolutely disgusting. But, that’s how Hollywood elitists roll. If you don’t know what ‘roll’ means, ask your kids.

She has rocked the political boat in the twenty first century to the point it’s taking on water. No one, not even Senator McCain, really knew what she was and is capable of doing for America. She has a ‘take no prisoners’ attitude. Shouldn’t that appease the anti-Gitmo-Leftys?

Some Republicans are weak in the knees because Palin wasn’t cut from the cloth of Poliopaths. She was cut from the cloth Betsy Ross created. Have you noticed how the Lefty media asks unsuspecting Republicans in interviews about Palin, the Republicans dance better than Michael Jackson (did)?

Yes, Sarah Palin needs some more burn time to become a world leader. Yes, this is the right time for her to develop those skills we’ll need in the future as Americans. No, she’s not sitting the bench on this one.

The ‘ethics violations’ lawsuits were just smokescreens for the fifteen seconds of fame crowd. Though, I am in complete disagreement with her in her decision not to hammer these frivolous suits. Or, should I say institute ‘tort reform’?

When Palin talks, people listen. Lots of people listen. Even the Lefty media listens to every single word, syllable and punctuation mark. She captures people’s attention and you know the Leftys squirm when she speaks. The conservatives can’t get enough of her. Tina Fey, Palin’s worst admirer, listens to everything she says. Over and over.

Sarah Palin gets what America needs today and in the future. She gets it. Deep down I know the Leftys get it. They get she is kryptonite to their failed socialism. If you don’t know what kryptonite is, ask your kids. Really? You need to get out more often.

Palin is the real hope and change America needs. The Republicans had better rally around her because she will soon be driving you to move this country in a direction we haven’t seen since Reagan.

Go Sarah.

Go!

U.S. Mob Wars — Meet Your Adversary Part II

The Hollywood Republican — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:07:13 +0000

While all tax paying Californians — of the non-mob-non-union-type — are being faced with receiving IOUs from the state due to budget problems, union thugs have stormed the state capitol today threatening lawmakers.

In a staged event this morning, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in California marched on Sacramento demanding (through their chants), “No more cuts! No more cuts! No more cuts!”

Funny. At the tea parties, I heard chants of, “No more taxes! No more taxes! No more taxes!”

What do you see is the difference?

Yes, I knew you’d see it.

As hard-working tax payers who go to work everyday providing for our families and wondering how we’ll pay our bills during these uncertain times, union thugs are threatening us — the taxpayers — to pay them or else.

Think about it. We elect our lawmakers, even though here in California we’ve done a horrible job in the last decade, so they represent us. These union thugs are threatening us, the lawmakers, not to cut their slovenly engorged contracts.

Oh, the SEIU is good at threats. Just read U.S. Mob Wars — Meet Your Adversary.

Them vs. Us Mentality Part II

Yes, some lawmakers were voted into office with the help of the SEIU and now the mob wants its piece of the pie. Hey, they paid-off the lawmakers to get them into office and now they want what’s rightfully coming to them. Makes sense, right?

At least at Starbucks they say, “Thank you.” We pay those union thugs’ state salaries and their attitude is frequently expressed as ‘you should be grateful I’m here helping you’ with whatever state job I’m being paid to do.

Notice closely at around 1:06 into the video, you’ll see a sign that symbolically says, “No Private Contractors.”

No private contractors? Then how are we — the lawmakers — going to get the best deal for our tax dollars? Does anyone, other than these union thugs, think ‘they’ do the best job possible? When was the last time you received excellent service from a public employee?

A very special thanks to State Senator George Runner (R-17th Dist. Calif.) for providing this video.

Why 49 States Should Care About California Going Bankrupt

The Hollywood Republican — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:58:08 +0000

Live within our means is — meaningless.

Why are you trying to make ends meet, then?

Why should 49 states care about California?

Those 49 states should care because this kind of left wing thinking is leeching into the American fabric, blurring the red, white and blue. Oh, don’t bash Obama too much. He’s just part of the problem, albeit a huge part.

According to California Assembly Democrat Noreen Evans, Budget Conference Committee Chairman (I’m sorry, Ma’am Chairwomanship), the State of California shouldn’t live within its means because it’s meaningless.

The next time someone tells you they can’t afford their health insurance, car insurance, mortgage insurance and say they’re desperately trying to ‘live within their means’ — tell them it’s meaningless.

Noreen Evans thinks so.

You should to.

Democratic Led Congress Starts Dismantling of U.S. Military

The Hollywood Republican — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 04:54:54 +0000

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s misuse of the military and military aircraft at the cost of hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars was recently discovered by Judicial Watch.

Judicial Watch, Inc. is a public interest group which investigates and prosecutes government corruption. They are a “conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law.”

So, I guess the word ‘conservative’ makes them liars.

Through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, Judicial Watch discovered an abject disregard for the United States taxpayers and military by repeated abuses of the Department of Defense (DoD) assets — assets owned by the citizens of the United States. At one point, Pelosi’s lieutenants had block-booked military aircraft on weekends, with a history of canceling.

It appears Pelosi’s goal was NOT to use commercial airlines — which we’ve been told are the safest in the world, post-9/11 — and to USE the military as her own private airline, hoping no one would dare question her authority as third in command.

The aircraft were frequently ‘booked’ by Pelosi’s team and cancelled at the last minute, thereby causing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to go to waste in the pre-flight preparations which go into such operations. Pelosi didn’t stop there and in May 2008 had requested the DoD to have her husband flown to Iraq to join the speaker on a Congressional Delegation, in direct violation of DoD policy.

Pelosi continued her abuses by requesting Army escort and military planes transport her and other members of Congress to Cleveland, Ohio last year, for funeral services of the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio). In her letter of August 22nd, 2008 she dubbed the transportation request as “Operation Tribute.” Probably figuring naming the flights a military operation would get her a ‘pass’ with the DoD personnel.

As if that abuse wasn’t enough, Pelosi’s lieutenants would routinely demand certain types of military aircraft and expressed outrage along with veiled threats when the aircraft were not provided by the military. At one point, one of Pelosi’s lieutenants, Kay King, Director of the House Office of Interparliamentary Affairs (think of the position as a glorified assistant), threatened the military by writing, “This is totally unacceptable … The speaker will want to know where the planes are …” Again, when specific types of aircraft were not available, King chastised the DoD, “This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset [s]peaker.”

Meanwhile, it’s perfectly acceptable for Pelosi’s goons to know about military assets, where they are, when they are available and when they could be mis-used. I bet if Pelosi’s argonaut had inquired with commercial airlines, they would’ve lined-up to be of assistance. If at least in part to get favorable treatment in Congress when the airlines would march to Capital Hill again for handouts. AND at a far lesser price to taxpayers.

At one email thread, DoD staff advised King there was a mandatory “crew rest requirement” and offered to help secure commercial travel avenues. King insisted on military aircraft being utilized, complaining that the use of commercial aircraft would create ‘problems’ with spouses.

Really? And us slugs HAVE to fly commercial flights and be molested by the TSA? The day a five year old takes down a commercial jetliner, I will eat my words.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton states, “Taken together, these documents show that Speaker Pelosi treats the Air Force like her personal airline. Not only does Speaker Pelosi issue unreasonable requests for military travel, but her office seems unconcerned about wasting taxpayer money with last minute cancellations and other demands.”

THR notes that after the events of 9/11, security rules were changed which allowed access to a 12-seat commuter jet for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.)

This is but a small step over the next four years of crippling the U.S. military by the misuse of its assets from the Obama administration.

While the country is debating the economy, Pelosi probably figured no one would care about her misuse of the military. Apparently, neither did Obama.

Obama’s Intoxication for Blood from Americans Goes Horribly Awry

The Hollywood Republican — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:49:41 +0000

President Obama’s socialized medical system is seeking $634 billion over the next 10 years by soaking those taxpayers who pay approximately 60% of the personal income taxes the Federal government takes in. In addition, the Obama Administration is requiring blood from those Americans. It should be noted, requiring these Americans’ first-born child has not been proposed due to the lack of blood that proposal would generate.

The administration admits this week, stealing from those Americans — or, rather redistributing their wealth to those who didn’t earn it — isn’t enough, and a new blood donation standard has been instituted. But, in a bizarre twist, a recent donation sent through the U.S. Postal Service has caused Obama to rethink his plan.

It’s been widely reported an Ethiopian refugee was confused about this new blood donation standard and allegedly sent the White House resident HIV-infected blood through the mail system to comply with Federal standards. It appears from first reports this man was not in the group which is required to give blood.

It’s not enough that Obama wants to encumber future generations of Americans with his push to socialism, but he wants their blood, too. I have to give it to Obama — he didn’t lie about what he was going to do. He kept his campaign promises. Which is more than I can say for Republicans in the People’s Republic of California.

The Jerkinator Defrauds His Voters

Governor Awnold “The Jerkinator” Schwarzenegger signed a budget bill on February 19th which raises taxes — a campaign promise he swore he wouldn’t break. Along with him three Republicans, two assemblymen and one senator, helped the Dems in Caleefornia shove this budget down the state’s taxpayer’s throats.

Los Angeles talk radio KFI AM 640 evangelists — John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, of the John & Ken Show — have fearlessly spearheaded a Tax Revolt 2009 in Caleefornia.

Revolt, Recall & Repeal is their new mantra.

The Republicans Have Let Us Down

While the flaks in the liberal media have been harping on Governor Bobby Jindal (R-La.) for his rebuttal speech this week, the Republicans are enjoying festivities at The Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. Rush Limbaugh is pegged to give a speech to invigorate the party, presumably to get Republicans to pull their heads out of their a**es er, sand.

The Republicans need to learn to drive the debate instead of being driven. The excuses are over.

Democrats Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank (the ones left)

With the Dems controlling everything in Washington these days, it’s only time till there’s a Boston Tea Party for the 21st century. This needs to happen before tea becomes so expensive, even the wealthy can’t afford to dump it.

The Dems are making a mockery of our government and spending the future’s money to do it.

Socialism here we come!

The Republicans can only sit idly by and vote NEY.

It’s times like these that we need to stop listening to a twenty something speech writer — living vicariously through Obama — and clean house with our Republican leadership.

Is the new Republican leader — Michael Steele — a conservative’s hope? A new hope?

THR NOTE: My apologies to my readers for being so disjointed in this post. I’ve recently been informed I am in that group of Americans who will have to pay for Obama’s socialism. I’ve attempted to stockpile my blood and it has left me lightheaded.

Hussein’s Terrorist Network Dealt Setback But Not Out

The Hollywood Republican — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:57:54 +0000

President Obiden won the, “We’ll Screw You Republicans Olympics” with the help of turncoats. Senators Arlen Specter (R-Penn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Olympia Snow (R-Maine) helped Hussein’s terrorist network succeed in guaranteeing Americans will get approximately eight U.S. dollars extra in their paychecks — per week — while crippling the U.S. economy for the next decade.

Congratulations are in order for the Democrats who vowed to repay the Republicans for the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 signed by former President Clinton!

In a minor setback, former Senator Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) finally fell on his sword for the Hussein Administration for cheating American taxpayers however, Obiden is not out. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is being tapped to tell the vicious big U.S. automakers how to run their businesses by showing them how to cheat the American taxpayers out of tax money, while building cars which will run on potato chips.

THR NOTE: Saddam Hussein was hanged. B. Hussein Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States.

Good News For Big Brother (a.k.a The Dems)

Obiden signed a one trillion dollar IOU voucher for Americans today. It’s the largest IOU in American history. However, most Americans don’t know the IOU has THEIR name on it. For the next decade — and arguably beyond — the American taxpayer is guaranteed a deep economic depression.

Hussein has made good on his promise to spread the wealth

But, Americans will only see 1/8th of that massive IOU in the next year. The rest is strategically timed to start paying out by the next election cycle in 2012. When I say ‘paying out’ that means YOU paying the government MORE.

And more good news, with baby boomers dying off, Americans can rest assured the newly created National Coordinator of Health Information Technology (NCHIT; pronounced EN sh*t) will make sure we get rid of the oldest baby boomers first, through empowerment to determine who gets treatments and who doesn’t get treatments.

Socialized medicine — HERE WE COME!

Rumor has it that Bill Clinton will be tapped to run the newly created EN sh*t org.

Now the U.S. can be just like some other 3rd-world countries. Okay, Canada and the United Kingdom are debatable.

Bad News For Republicans (and tax-paying Americans)

Well? Uh? Tax paying Americans get to get screwed on their taxes for the next decade — and beyond.

Obama’s Plan To Sell Senate Seat Backfires

The Hollywood Republican — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 08:10:50 +0000

The Plan

President Barack Obama’s little known plan to sell his former senate seat has failed this past week. Largely because Rod Blagojevich — retired Illinois Governor — did not agree with the president’s plan, Obama could not fill another pay-for-play political position. That’s okay with the administration as they have other seats to worry about.

Apparently, the plan (hatched by Rahm Emanuel) was to have Blagojevich sell the senate seat to a hand-picked successor of Obama’s. The retired governor would then be placed in a lucrative position inside the Obama Administration and claim his commission from the sale of the senate seat was not reported to the Internal Revenue Service because of a ‘mistake’ in calculating the appropriate tax bracket.

Eventually some shadow government limo-lib campaign contributor would pay the back taxes and fines, so Blagojevich could be confirmed. In a few months, most of America would forget about this episode in the Obama administration because the homes they lived in would be up for sale, due to lack of income caused by George W. Bush.

Unfortunately, the retired governor was recorded by federal prosecutors and the whole plan unravelled. Damage control from the White House ensued and the governor was out on his own.

Pretty crazy stuff? Huh?

Who would believe any of the foregoing is true? Certainly Democrats would not believe it. Obama wouldn’t lie to them, but ‘Bush Lied And People Died.’ Would Republicans believe it? Probably not, but who cares what Republicans think? Right?

Okay. In the interest of fairness, Blago was ‘retired’ by the Illinois Senate. Republicans say ‘kicked-out’ but we’re too busy poisoning the water of children to care about semantics. Who knows what Emanuel had done as he’s Obama’s boy and any attack on him would be viewed as racism. Or, post-pre-racism. Somehow the word ‘racist’ would be applied to conservatives and Emanuel would be saved.

Pretty good fiction? Huh?

I bet you’re not laughing, though.

Not Paying Your Taxes Is Simply A Mistake (Democrats Only)

Current Obama candidates and confirmed appointees have claimed not paying their income tax was a simple ‘mistake’ they made which could be explained to any Democrat and they’d understand. Obama wants you to know these are just minor problems because really what’s at stake is the re-distribution of wealth. That was Obama’s campaign promise. And we know Americans must insist our second black president be held to his promises. [See "Obama's Your Mama" for explanation.]

Really?

What is the American public to think about Timothy Geithner being confirmed at U.S. Treasury Secretary when he dodged his taxes? Until the chosen one came along and gave him a job.

What is the American public to think about former Democratic Senator Tom Daschle being confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services when he dodged his taxes? Until the chosen one came along and gave him a job. Come on. Admit it. You don’t want to admit it but Daschle is getting the job.

Not Paying Your Taxes Is Criminal (Republicans Only)

Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher asks — then Senator Obama — why he’ll have to pay more taxes if he’s elected. Oh, by the way, Joe’s a Veteran. God bless our Veterans. Joe loses his job. Can’t pay his taxes. Has a $1,200 lien on some property because he can’t pay his taxes without a job. Joe is crucified by the left wing media for a question half of America wanted asked.

Joe was a criminal of the worst kind — a Republican.

Obama’s answer is to spread the wealth around, regardless of whether or not the receiving party has earned the money.

He’ll take yours and give it to them.
