Wow, dig that crazy logic.

Owens lied through his teeth to get elected. He knew exactly what he was doing. He and the Democratic Party can no longer claim that the American public is clamoring for National Health Care. If it passes, it will be a product of deceit and lies, just like Owens' election victory.

Owens is up for reelection next year, so I hope this treachery is well seared in his constituents' minds. Maybe he and Dede can team up?

Have you guys ever wondered how much more of this garbage the American people are going to take before people start violent uprisings? Seriously. When politicians lie so blatantly and then suddenly become unavailable to anyone who wants to question them about it, it makes me think that a certain segment of the population is inching ever-closer to snapping and just taking these people out. Yes, I mean killing them.

Caveat: I’m not recommending this nor condoning it if it happens, but I fear that we’re not far from a time when that’s the reaction of a small segment of our “society.”

As for my own personal feelings, it can be summed up with a single question: Whatever happened to honesty and integrity?!?

Well, he has to run for re-election next year, so the folks who believed him, and voted for him because of it, will have the chance to let him know how they feel about his duplicity.

Well, they have no honor. They don’t fear God, they don’t fear violating their sworn oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution. That leaves us. We The People have to put the very fear of life and death into them.

“... before people start violent uprisings”

***

It’s obvious that there is no longer any integrity in any government positions.

The uprisings have already started; they started in April of this year and have grown more intense. There is no doubt that this is volatile and I wonder, like you, when the uprisings turn violent or even lethal.

There will be a catalyst that will prompt such actions and it only a matter of time. It is clear that Congress is not listening to us and individuals like Pelosi get enjoyment out of watching us struggle and squirm while they dump their poison down our throats.

I think this healthcare thing will be the final straw. The Senate Committee has already passed their climate bill that is meant to line the pockets of a$$holes like Al Gore and tax the rest of us to death.

I am not sure if the ultimate agenda of Congress is to incite violence from the American people to invoke martial law, or whatever.

It’s only a matter of time, and the sands of time run short.

Thank you for posting.

I was upset earlier today to see that the original source was unavailable.

This will be the same playbook that the Dems will use in 2010. The lying will be incredible and it will look like they are more conservative than the Republicans. The Republicans need to hit them hard over there air on their “congressional record” of votes. That is the only thing you can judge these Leftist Dems.

Probably she threatened to have s-x with him—that’s enough to curdle his blood.

This is exactly why my voting philosophy has always been vote for the candidate that is most likely to beat the democrat. No matter how conservative a dem pretends to be they always revert to form.

Are both parties the same ? Hell No, but they do both have problems. For Republicans candidate corruption is a serious potential problem, for Democrats corruption is a requirement. If you want to become a player in the dem party you have to 1)show that you’re going to play the game and 2) Have something in your closet that they can use against you to keep you “loyal”.

A lot of people are proud of this election but bottom line it got a dem elected for the first time since the pre-Civil war era in an election cycle that was clearly anti-dem. Any dem elected makes them more powerful and gives more votes to Pelosi. I’m not proud of that and yes I’d rather have seen a liberal rep win (if she could have) vs. a liberal dem, just being practical. I also get nervous every time national leaders insert themselves in local elections. I believe local leaders know best what works locally. Whether it’s schools, regulations, or elections etc etc a one-size fits all approach across the country just doesn’t work.

Scuzzy would have been no different than Owens - maybe more liberal. It is not making a difference that the Rinos did not score another one like Snowe, Collins and Graham. Spector was a Scuzzy, too.
