Which duo do you prefer: McCain/Graham or Sanford/DeMint? [The answer should be obvious to anyone who has not been smoking RINO dung in a perversely bipartisan manner.]

Sanford and DeMint may be emerging conservative GOP leaders. God knows we need more of them.

I watched the joint press congress between the Senate and House Republicans. Good for them. A united voice in principal and goals.
It appears the Republican Congress is starting to get a back bone once again. And I speak not only for this event but what has been going on of lately. I sense more Democrats are getting the message that they should not side with Reid and Pelosi, but become educated on what measures really can be put in place to address this banking and now economic problem.

I am from S. Carolina and voted for both Sanford and DeMint. They are both fiscal conservatives. BTW, many people consider Sanford to be a libertarian- present company included.

The American Option: A Jobs Plan That Works

. . . . .

Permanently repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax.

Permanently fix tax rates on Capital Gains and Dividends at 15 percent.

Permanently kill the Death Tax for estates under $5 million in value, while permanently fixing tax rates on estates of higher values at 15 percent.

Permanently extend the $1,000 per child Child Tax Credit.

Permanently repeal the marriage tax penalty.

Permanently limit itemized deductions to charitable contributions and mortgage interest, simplifying the tax code.

Permanently reduce top corporate income tax rates from 35 percent to 25 percent.

Permanently reduce top personal income tax rates to 25 percent. The only other two brackets will be 15 percent and 10 percent.

. . . . .

No American family should be forced to pay the federal government more than 25 percent of the fruits of their hard labor.

Every problem now plaguing our economy can be directly traced to some government policy that was passed over the vehement objections and prescient warnings of principled conservatives.

. . . . .

And, on the Obama-Democrats-Communist stimulus proposal...

Rest assured, unlike the oceans at President Obama’s command, the elevated spending levels in this bill will never recede.

This bill is not a stimulus, ladies and gentlemen; it is a mugging. It is a fraud. Conservatives who fear proponents of this bill want to inch our economy closer to European-style socialism are kidding themselves. The proponents of this bill want to strap a big rocket on the back of our economy and launch it all the way to Brussels!

GO SANFORD/DEMINT!!!

Conservative democrats should be and are right behind them. There actually is such a thing as a conservative blue dog democrat.

They were elected from free states. They don’t answer to radicals like Pelosi and Reid.

What the heck is the difference between a Conservative Democrat and a moderate Republican anyway? Ask the weather bunny what the difference is between mostly cloudy and partly sunny and she will smile and give you the answer you want.

I hope they are freedom loving Americans who care more about their country than they do about their own power. This bill is a disgrace and grab bag that libs would love to pass while folks are desperate.

One can only hope as a citizen that our Senators see that.

Go DeMint/Sanford! Their plan really is excellent. Now we all know that media-ego-man McCain is dying to steal this victory from DeMint.

With the number of TV appearances McCain is making this week, I’m making sure that the blogs associated with the programs where he appears knows that I turn the channel when I see him.

From the article,

Graham and DeMint joined 16 other Republican senators and representatives at a feisty news conference called by DeMint to denounce the House measure.

Obama launched a direct attack on DeMint and other Republicans who want to stimulate the economy solely through tax cuts.

"Now, in the past few days, I've heard criticisms of this plan that echo the very same failed theories that helped lead us into this crisis - the notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems," Obama said.

In a pointed reminder that he won the election, Obama added: "I reject that theory, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change."


Obama is still stuck on the "I won" mandate he thinks he has from the American people. He does not have a mandate to throw a trillion dollars worth of wasteful spending that will do nothing to fix the current economic problems.

Great. But to quote Doctor and Spock in the episode with the Gorn

“Can he do it?
If he has the time, Doctor. If he has the time.”

The dems are not allowing enough time for the public to catch up and demand it be stopped.

It’s pretty obvious that Sanford has designs on running in 2012. I wonder if DeMint is as well? If so, it should make for an interesting primary season.

Sanford sounds more solid than Sarah. Although Sarah is easier on the eyes. Sanford looks ashen.

A Sandord/DeMint team would be like releasing a tasmanian devil against the bureaucracy. I like it.

What the current gang of political thugs now in control are attempting is the equivalent of an economic “Pearl Harbor” attack on America.

In that same sense, it’s already too late to stop the initial devastation and loss, so it’s time to “awaken the sleeping giant” (the American people) and fill US “with a terrible resolve”, not just to defeat this particular plan, but to take the war to these people and destroy them, since they have clearly shown that working with them simply means surrender.

Now we can see who the leaders are.

BTW, has anyone heard anything from McCain lately??
LOL!

And I was disappointed to learn that Sarah Palin had nothing better to do than to insert herself into the Texas governor’s race by endorsing the lesser of two weasels, Rick “The Hair” Perry.
