Here's a sign (sorry it's so small)

Sen Inhofe on Fox...and he has been in copenhagen...so we likely will hear about the Global Warming Scam...

[bray]

Exactly, energy is the issue now that the Global Snow Job has been exposed. Coincidentally Cap and Tax adds such a premium to Natural Gas, her pipeline won’t be feasible. They have added a $4/unit tax to destroy the pipeline. The District of Corruption at work.

Pray for America and Gov Palin

MTP, Gregory says Wall Street is healthier, Main Street is not.

Greenspan refers to the two economies. Wall Street and small private business - big problem. (It seems obama has finally created the "two Americas" that John Edwards kept yapping about.)

Romney - there is no stability. Small business is hunkering down.

The dirty secret of the “Stimulus” and the coming “Stimulus 2 is that it was never meant to be be stimulative. These Leftist all claim to be Keynesian yet their “Stimulus” bill is not even Keynesian. It just a massive bribe to their activist base.

It has almost nothing in it that is actually stimulative even using the Keynesian theory of government directed stimulus spending. All the Dems did was hand out money to states and localities to paper over existing budget deficits. Now they want to do the same thing again.

One of the overlooked things coming out of the “job summit” was the statement that ONE part of the plan was to “bail out state and local Governments to preserve jobs”.

Basically what the Democrats did was pay their Visa bill with our Master Card. Now they want to repeat the same fiction in Stimulus 2.

Their local and state special interest groups were facing serious crises due to a massive short fall in tax revenues so Congressional Democrats rushed to the rescue with the “Stimulus” bill. All that did was delay the day of fiscal reckoning for these state and local Governments. It does almost nothing to generate anything that will actually be stimulating on the economy

Afternoon ABB, All...

....Sang at mass this morning.

Busy time of year for choir.

Sign in to find Obamer’s at a -19 in the Rasmussen and Obamer’s gonna find tax cheats.

Romney only pub of any kind I’ve seen this morning.

Saw two female shills for Obamer...how the hell can they sleep at night?

[Walleye_Walter]

"The Recession is over, it is now a Depression."

That was my initial thought when I heard Summers.

I just heard Christina Romers say "Of course not" to a question by Gregory on MTP asking whether the recession is over.

It sounds like the Obama financial team need to get their act together.

[rodguy911]

Yeah, cool Obamaville fastest growing community, (look for more Obamavilles coming your way!)Thanks Chuck!

I just watched a few minutes of Larry Summers with Stephy. He has to be the biggest liar ever,makes even some of the best rat liars look weak.

[rodguy911]

Can’t wait to see it.

[rodguy911]

One question I have is that if Congress fails to act on cap and tax and OZero uses Presidential powers can they be rescinded with a new President?

[Jeff Chandler]

Where’s Waldo McCain?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

This is a good read:

A Memo To The Global Warming Cult

[Bahbah]

I’m listening to Liz Cheney. I want this woman put in charge of something really big and important. Maybe the country.

Juan is obnoxious this morning. Even more than usual.

[rodguy911]

Most of us in small businesses don't know what to expect next! We don't know what is coming our way. Zero has succeeded in interjecting just enough fear of big socialist govt. to keep many businesses at bay from expansion, borrowing,(not that we could) etc etc.
It's the Socialist/Communist way—all intimidation all the time.

[Girlene]

Your post is spot on, MNJohnnie.

Their local and state special interest groups were facing serious crises due to a massive short fall in tax revenues so Congressional Democrats rushed to the rescue with the “Stimulus” bill. All that did was delay the day of fiscal reckoning for these state and local Governments. It does almost nothing to generate anything that will actually be stimulating on the economy

Heard on a little radio blurb last night about a town that is turning off a number of street lights to save $2,000 a month because they just don't have the money. It's getting bad in some places.

[rodguy911]

As Rush has said so often, the stimuli plans are merely huge slush/vote buying schemes for passing cap and tax, obamscare, whatever socialist project the rats have in mind.

Obama's stash.

Robbery of the U.S. Treasury and nothing less.

[bray]

Shouldn’t the congress be able to reign in the EPA? Time to bring pressure on them, especially if Cap and Tax fails.

Pray for America’s Freedom

Liz Cheney will play a role in future govt's. She is amazing. She has her father's way of cutting out her opponents heart with a smile on her face and in her voice. I do agree the electorate would be happy with less animosity in politics. Cheney's tone is pitch perfect.

Palin/Cheney.
