The Problem With Democrats

PostBy: spc On: Fri Feb 29, 2008 1:12 pm

Republicans blocked the latest economic stimulus bill, why you ask. The dems are trying to grant $200 million to organizations like NCLR, National Council of La Raza & ACORN, Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, for counseling money . Don't forget people this is an economic stimulus bill.

Read a little about ACORN's antics:

La Raza:
-supports access to driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants.
-supports bilingual education and bilingual ballots.
-supports voting rights for illegal aliens.

Economic stimulus bill. :no1:

It's common knowledge that almost every bill has some kind of pork somewhere in it. That's one of the ways bills get passed, throw something in it to satisfy the "other side" so that they will get off the fence and vote for it.

Or they throw it in knowing the other side will never go for it & then get beat up as to why they voted against it. Famous democrat ploy.

The "problem with" threads could very well be consoldated into "Politicians, how to avoid getting your painties in a bunch thinking too hard about them"

Ever think about why we effectivley have only a two party system ? ;)

Two things have become pretty clear - big business is holding us down more than ever & there are too many people in the world. Its pretty scary to see democrats (or any party) soaking up major contributions from wall street.

Someone throw us a bone ! :x

A former colleague of mine ran for Congress with Newt and the boyz back in '94. (Yep, a Republican; I said we were colleagues, not political soul-mates! And I used to tell him he was nuts, too.) He called me up one day and told me he'd gone to see the PACs the day before. He had studied the issues and positions and had felt prepared for the meetings.

But, when he got to each meeting, he was dismayed to discover that all they wanted to know was one thing: whether he was going to win.

Institutional contributors are no less like big business than big business. They act more on practical self-interest than principle. Put another way, there's very little value in having a phone number that doesn't belong to an incumbent after an election. So, when you see "Wall St" contributing, think of it as the Las Vegas oddsmakers betting on the result.

He had the good fortune to win. And got an education in the process.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she intends to sue the Bush administration for Attorney General Michael Mukasey's refusal to investigate two of President Bush's top aides. Mukasey says they committed no crime. And you wonder why nothing gets done in Washington. :x
