#2 I think she's going to find out that the average American isn't as stupid as she thinks they are.

This is pure arrogance. Why not just make a rule saying that the speaker rules by fiat?

#4 ION MACAU DAILY TIMES > [POTUS Bammer] MANY AMERICANS HAVE LOST FAITH IN THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. It existed before the Bammer became POTUS, + had been getting worse since He did.

HMMMMM, HMMMMM, wehell, IMO by the Bammer's own [indirect] admission, he has failed thus far as POTUS to redeem the credibility + image of Washington + USGovt in the eyes of mainstream America.

#5
November is going to be a methodical Nanny Beating. Its going to be a one way slow motion messy brutal sadistic blood smeared squealing grind. And when its over its going to go on echoing in hell for the Doinks.

They deserve it.

#6 the average American isn't as stupid as she thinks they are.

He's even stupider. Just look at who he sends to Washington.

#7 #2 I think she's going to find out that the average American isn't as stupid as she thinks they are.

What exactly is an average American? Unfortunately, a substantial number of Americans are every bit as stupid as she thinks they are.

#8 Pelosi and California, I'm sick of both.

DO you know what happened 160 years ago this fall... back in 1850?

California became a state
The people had no electricity.
The state had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.

So basically nothing has changed except then the women had real boobs and the men didn't hold hands.

#9 If you subtract out those who do not work but are subsidized by socialism and those who work for the state, the reminder are less than the average of Americans. Enough though to make sure that Nancy's cannon fodder will pay dearly at the polls in November and beyond.

#10 I regret that I do not now who wrote the following:

For decades pundits have been saying that the New Orleans Saints were so bad at playing football that Hell would freeze over if the Saints ever won The Super Bowl.
On Sunday, February 7, 2010 the Saints won the Super Bowl.
On that same Sunday, Washington D.C. was paralyzed under several feet of snow and the Government was shut down.

Question: Do we now have indisputable proof of the existence and location of Hell?

#11 1. Soapbox,
2. ballot box,
3. cartridge box.

I'm very much afraid that November is the last chance for number 2 to work. If the tyrant wannabe in the WH and his slimy minions are willing to go to these lengths to impose their will. A win in Nov. would give them all the motivation they need to totally rewrite electoral rules and "deem" them passed.

Be afraid, be very afraid. CF is not being funny, he is being honest.

#13 If I said what I'm thinking, I would get "sinktrapped" for certain. Health care reform is not about "health" or "care." It is a sheer grab for power by the Demoncrats. It is just pure evil, arrogance and a disregard for the voters. I have never seen such rough shod gangster politics. The vote will be close. I hope some of the fence straddlers in the Democratic Party do the right thing and vote "NO". This bill will break the bank. It will be an albatross around the necks of the American people for generations to come. Our children's children will be paying for this bill. The country will never recover from it and we will be headed the way of third world countries.

#14 Hell indeed. It does seem as if the very devil himself is biting their butts because they are desperate to cram this thing down our throats no matter what. It's pretty scary.

And the longer this drama goes on I think the more desperate Obummer will become. He's been at it now for over and year and so far he has nothing to show for it. He hasn't accomplished a single thing yet as president so if health care fails he will be widely perceived as a failed president. There's no telling what he might do to avoid that.

#15 And those poor fence sitting donk representatives who are being called into the Oval Office are gonna get their arms twisted every which way. Imagine the calculations going through their heads. Do they dare defy this man? Is he gonna be a one term president shuffling back to Chicago with his tail between his legs or is he gonna pull it together and then screw the hell out the guys who said no to him? Will they survive this battle with their principals in tact or will they compromise? And if they compromise will they lose their next election?

Squirm, you guys. Think about it and then squirm some more.

#16 Thank you, John QC. Fred's site gets visits from law enforcement and national security types so the few rules we have really matter.

#18 Confusing? You mean like when people should follow y'alls rules when you cannot follow your own?

Seems to be a big deal recently taking old movies and remaking them. Perhaps a filmmaker out there could re-do 'Day Without a Mexican' into 'Week Without a Taxpayer'? Heck go big time 3d special effects and make it a month.
