Will MSNBC point out the Hypocrisy of Obama negotiating on the hill at NOON Today without CSPAN there to broadcast his arm twisting?

Given the source, I was skeptical. I expected 55 straight minutes of Republican-bashing. I was wrong. Much to my surprise this video placed the blame exactly where it belongs...on the merry band running the Clinton financial team. And for good measure, they hit Obama with a few whacks as well (since he has some of the culprits in his cabinet NOW!)

Dear Sir/Ma'am, Do you believe that you are qualified or knowledgeable enough to completely restructure 18% of the American economy and dictate how life and death decisions are made for 300 million people? Do you REALLY? Do you believe what the backers of this breathtakingly and fundamentally dishonest bill are claiming? Really? Do you believe…? 1. That this wouldn't add to our already massive and unsustainable debt? Really? Then why do they need 10 years of taxes to pay for 6 years of benefits? Are those Medicare cuts on which the CBO score relies really going to happen? REALLY? 2....

My apologies if this a duplicate. I didn't see this posted. I couldn't help but notice on ABC's 20/20 'report' on the Fort Hood shooting last night, that they went out of their way to blame "stress" for the shooting despite the fact that the shooter had never been deployed anywhere, nor had he ever been on the battle field. Although they did touch upon his islamic jihadi tendencies of late, they didn't dare point to that as the motive. They also only gave a brief (literally 10-15 seconds) mention of the heroic woman (Kimberly Munley)who stopped the killer's rampage...

Call "Progressives" and tell them to "Kill The Bill" if it bans gov abortion, then call the Blue Dogs and tell them to Kill The Bill if it allos abortion. Work both sides to vote no. Thoughts?

Fort Hood shootings: FBI given gunman's name six months ago.

Despite BOR's incessant interruptions, Lt Col Peters does a great job in setting the record straight on what this act of cowardice really was......the last minute is most powerful.

First, let me say that I have hated the media for some time now, but today was a new low. I was driving through Des Moines this afternoon, and heard an NPR story on the Ft Hood shooting. It started out surprisingly balanced - a little too much "one the one hand, on the other hand," but better than I expected from NPR. Something along the lines of, (paraphrasing, obviously) "this event may have happened because the shooter was stressed out from counseling PTSD soldiers, or it may be because he's a muslim." Then they played a clip of Gen...

Election Wrap Up: Flash! Dems lose TWO Governorships in VA & NJ. Obama's analysis, "We have saved or gained or 57 Democrat Governorships.."

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Parents may be setting their daughters up for weight problems simply by allowing them to drink two or more sweetened drinks daily while young, study findings hint. Higher sweetened beverage intake, such as sodas and fruit and sport drinks, at age 5 years was linked to more body fat during the following 10 years, Dr. Laura Fiorito, at The Pennsylvania State University in University Park, told Reuters Health in an email. Higher body fat during the teen years has been tied to long-term overweight and other health problems such as diabetes and later heart disease,...

Code Pink anti-war comments have inspired hate before. Were they at play here?

Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Eric Cantor, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. House, said his party needs to be inclusive and criticized some comments by talk-show host Rush Limbaugh as inappropriate. “The Republican Party in its roots is a party of inclusion and we ought to be promoting that and making sure that voices are heard,” Cantor, of Virginia, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing today.

10.2 % Unemployment??? But I thought the economy was recovering? (sarc) The POTUS says his stimulus has saved almost a million jobs and considering the lowered bar of accomplishment he enjoyed as an affirmative action educated community organizer I can understand how his diminutive mathematical abilities would cause him to reach such an optimistic assessment. After all, each of those jobs he created only cost the taxpayers $248,000 per job but hey it's a job, or is it? It turns out this fuzzy math approach has crept into the subjective by claiming that a pay raise is a saved job....Say...

Lenin called terrorism propaganda by deed. He said the purpose of terrorism is to terrorize. Is it a sense of terror that makes Liberals play the Quislings role with regard to men like Major Nidal Malik Hasan. Obviously, the Liberals in the news media are willing to jump on the news of the mass murders Major Nidal Malik Hasan committed and use this as an opportunity to sell their agenda. Thus, are patently absurd notions advanced that he was a victim of mass-murder-causing-name-calling that led to the Major to slaughter in pre-meditated murder those who had done him no harm....

Earlier today, the Fox News Channel had a CAIR Executive on to comment on the FT Hood shooting. Fox now has the interview on their website's video segments. Obviously Fox knows about their terror links: http://www.foxnews.com/search-results/search?q=cair+fbi Fox's comment line is 1-888-369-4762 ( http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,77538,00.html )

Today's CNN Poll asks if you're unemployed. Currently 19% say yes. I guess that means that CNN viewers are twice as likely as the national average to be unemployed.

Question 1: Is there a list of all Democrats regardless of whether they are liberal or "moderate" that would be vulnerable if they voted for the health care reform? There is a list of blue dog democrats but that list is by the representative's political ideology instead of the district's ideology. For instance Betsy Markey is a Freshman Democrat who ran as a blue dog Democrat in a mostly conservative district but has voted very far left liberal. She is not on the list of blue dog democrats but should be on the list of vulnerable Democrats based on the...

This is sickening to me! They knew about this guys antics for six months and did nothing?

Did anyone else see Geraldo bemoaning the fact that he really feels bad for all the muslims in the military that haven't killed American soldiers? I was appalled at this attitude. If someone has a link to it online please share so others can see how tasteless it really is. Could you image anyone after Timothy McVeigh's act of terrorism saying "This is going to make all those white supremacist that haven't resorted to acts of violence look bad. I just hope American's understand that this isn't part of their cause."

Right on schedule, prices of PM's go up with the great news of The Great One's intervention in our economy!

Urged on by President Barack Obama, Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives hustled on Thursday to round up support for a sweeping healthcare overhaul headed to a close floor vote on Saturday.

Obama change means destruction of the spiritual foundation of the USA. Obama, born and raised to despise traditional values that sustains our nation is dismantling this country The protection we had since 911 is fading fast. Soldiers are slain by a hateful Islamic terrorist, but will the media ignore the core of this cancer? It is the Obama idea that the USA is wrong, economicaly, environmentaly. medicaly, polticaly, militarily and in all other ways. Obama will not even visit Germany to commemorate the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Is Obama a Marxist? Obama is the radical fox...

Free Republic YouTube Smackdown on Strike 'til further notice.(Click to see thread) In light of the recent FBI raids and busts, it is clear that the danger from radical Islam is near and growing.  One common thread throughout each of these cases is that these misunderstanders of Islam become radicalized through online media.  Whether it be forums, websites, or videos, the internet has proven a powerful tool in the hands of those who wish to harm us and bring the joys of sharia to America.  Unfortunately, the terrorists are aided and abetted by companies in the US who allow...

Why is Kay Bailey Hutchison shocked at what the killer's cousin said on Fox News? (vanity / honest question) Shep Smith on Fox News interviewed Kay Bailey Hutchison immediately after Smith's interview with the cousin of the Ft. Hood killer. Sen. Hutchison expressed her shock at what she just heard in the interview with the cousin. Smith did not ask a follow-up question concerning exactly what shocked her about the interview. Did anybody else hear this? What was she shocked about?

FOX is getting testimony from officer that he heard the shooter make several anti-American, pro-Muslim/jihad-like statements about Muslims need to rise up against the Western agressors and engage in violent attacks against the military like the shooter in Little Rock, AR. This dude was reported concerning his threatening statements and was still walking around. Don't you just love our politically correct Army. I'm talking about some of those libs at the top, not the real soldiers who are fantastic.

Check page 32. This was a task force called: Thinking Anew: Security Priorities for the next administration. It ran from April 2008-January 2009. http://www.gwumc.edu/hspi/old/PTTF_ProceedingsReport_05.19.09.pdf

What else needs to be said. This man is disgusting! Pure evil.

Hughes Says Kirk Appeal to Palin a “Desperate Move” (HINSDALE, IL) – A new Wilson Research analysis of polling data from the U.S. Senate campaigns of Mark Kirk and Patrick Hughes, respectively, indicates bad news for the Kirk campaign. This comes on the heels of news from Kirk’s Senate campaign that he is seeking the endorsement of former Gov. Sarah Palin. "I believe Mark Kirk, who has consistently supported President Obama's legislative agenda, including cap and trade legislation, is quickly realizing that Republican Primary voters do not share his extreme views. In a desperate attempt to prove otherwise, he is...

I watched the rally and it seemed like a bunch of Republicans hijacked a conservative movement. The endless stream of Republican politician speakers became boring and sounded disingenuous. I couldn't help but wonder how many of these people have funneled pork back to their districts, were bought off to cast a vote, or slipped something in a bill at the last minute. They sounded like a bunch of self indulgent windbags. I think it was a mistake to let the politicians speak with the exception of Bachmann. They offered nothing of substance. I would have preferred to see the people...

Pretty sure I'm not the first to have noticed this: OK, you want buy something to read, a magazine - cost is, say, $2.50. How much time do you spend researching possible choices? A few minutes? Now you have to buy something that costs $50 (20 times more) - say, an MP3 player. How much time do you spend researching these possible choices? More, right? Of course, you're parting with more money. So you spend 20X more time researching - say, 40 minutes in total. Now a $1000 TV - another 20-fold increase. More research than for an MP3 player?...

Need some help. Was there a Health Care bill voted on in the House a few months back? Or are all health care bills still in the planning stages with no votes on any of them? What was the bill a few months back that about 20 Repubicans voted for? Was that the stimulus bill?

We will be discussing where Sarah is going on her book tour and when she will arriving and all the what not's

DO IT! Now is the time. Any opinions!?

Dear Doggett constituents, A few days ago, Congresswoman Michelle Bachman (R-M) asked that “the people” show up (for an emergency “House Call”) in Washington D.C. on Thursday 11/5/09. There will be a press conference and then the people should go see their Congressman eye to eye about the Healthcare bill that will be voted on either Friday or Saturday. Yesterday 11/4/09 I spent an hour with Congressman Doggett's Staff Assistant Lee Ann. Please call his Austin office in the next 2 days 512-916-5921. If you agree with the things I said you could just take a minute and say, “Tell...

Our online activists have been very, very busy. Using Facebook, Twitter, e-mail and cell phones, we've been directing hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Doug Hoffman and Chris Christie campaigns. We've been calling voters, urging them to vote for conservative candidates. Personally, I've been e-mailing a few acquaintances of mine in the Dede Scozzafava campaign, asking them to convince Scozzafava to drop out of the race. We work behind the scenes, and under the radar. Quietly and effectively, we've been directing support to the conservative candidates in these races. A few months ago, we were working on behalf of...

....And he said that both the GOP nominee, Dede Scozzafava and the conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman were both out of the mainstream of the upstate New York district – which lead to the victory of Democrat Bill Owens Tuesday night.

Check out this post from DU yesterday: I am so angry now I could spit. My hands are shaking as I write this.... I called Speaker Pelosi's office in California about 15 minutes ago. I politely started to state my concerns about the removal of single payer debate on the House floor (the Weiner amendment) & the removal of the Kucinich amendment (allowing states to implement single payer). With just one word: hold, I was put through by the office staff to the answering machine. I left a message on the machine and then called the Washington office. I got...

NOW is the time for all of you to become PRECINCT COMMITTEE MEN/WOMEN! It's how we take back the Republican Party! PCO's have VOTING POWERS....they elect their County GOP Chair, make State House Appointments, provide input into the PLATFORM, help choose candidates, activate voters, and some are ELECTORS of the ELECTORAL COLLEGE. If you don't know what a PCP is go to your local County or State GOP page (or even the local DEMOCRAT webpage!)....or freep mail me...and I'll email info. You represent your immediate Precinct/neighborhood. It's TIME!!! HISTORY IS CALLING YOU! It's 1775 AGAIN....what are YOU going to do....

The tide is turning. It is time to put fear into organizations that have been or might consider supporting 0bummerCare, and turn them back to the cause of righteousness. Last night's victories are being correctly read as defeats for 0bummer and 0bummerCare. Let's prepare for the counterattack, and our enemies' annihilation in their retreat. Whatever organizations or corporations have supported 0bummerCare, please list them here (with documentation if possible), so that we can hold them to account politically and economically when this pig is dead. If proponents repent quickly and turn against 0bummerCare now, they can be saved from our...

It is too hard for me to swallow the fact that a properly passed law in Maine was repealed in a public referendum. This just seems wrong. The proper course of action was to throw out the bums who passed the law in the first place and then have a subsequent legislature / Governer repeal the law. While the "outcome" in this case was favorable to conservative point of view, it is impossible for me to see how it benefits the conservative movement in the long run. Remember, gay marriage was made legal in Maine by the elected government -...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Retirees have something else to look forward to besides playing golf -- much better sleep -- particularly if they have decent retirement benefits and retire relatively early. That's what Dr. Jussi Vahtera of the University of Turku in Finland and colleagues found in a study of 14,714 people who had retired from the French national gas and electric company. But because the workers in the study had excellent retirement benefits, including generous pensions, the findings don't apply to everyone, Vahtera noted in a prepared statement. "In countries and positions where there is no proper pension...

This afternoon I am invited to participate in a townhall meeting conference call. Wanted to solicit ideas from my Freerepublic friends and what I should ask the Senator.

After the salutory "Dear Friend", Michael Steele quickly endears me with the underlined warning of "Your immediate action is required." No, Mr. Steele, my immediate action is not required of you. Your immediate action is required of me, if you expect a Republican vote (much less a donation) ever again. Mr. Steele demands, with great urgency, an immediate response to his Push Poll questions, plus a donation, of course. Does Michael Steele know what's getting mailed out to former loyal Republicans in his name? If not, he is inept. If he does, he's more than inept. He is tone deaf....
