Carter quickly rose up to a 75% approval and by the end of the year was polling in the 40s, he never rebounded, other then a small bump fpr the Camp David accords he was a fairly unpopular President throughout his Presidency

Dubya in his 2nd term was quiet popular until Katrina hit, the next 3 years he did nothing except the successful surge and pissing off the base

Poppy Bush was actually a popular President up until 1992, which happen to be the re-election year

Ford was popular initially but after the Nixon pardon never recovered

Nixon was popular going into his 2nd term but watergate hit quick and he was unpopular mostly through his 2nd term

LBJ took time to get hurt

Kennedy was immensely popular but was nosediving before he was assassinated

just some history to ponder, but in short: yes it is possible to have a whole term as an unpopular President, hell John Quincy Adams was unpopular from the get-go and had a full blown 4 yea term spent gearing up to battle Jackson in a rematch...only to get his ass kicked

One year?

Reminds me, Rove (you magnificent bzstard!) was on Greta tonight (heh) and made the point that Obama could survive this by moving to the center and governing from there the way Clinton did. "But he wont."

Rove's explanation of why is perfectly illustrative of why PKO is correct.

There are plenty of RINOs in the Senate who will be happy to flip for a cookie on any number of issues.  Even now.

I do agree that Obama will double down rather than move to the center.  Unlike Clinton, who was really after public adulation, Obama's after fascism.

This is day one of the last three years of his presidency.

Possible - but the handicap he faces is having a Congress that's led by hard-Left Progressives.

Obama has just been given a gift: it took Clinton until the midterm elections to get the wake-up call about how unpopular his Leftist agenda was.  Obama's getting his wake-up call ten months sooner - but unlike Clinton, Obama is likely to hit the snooze button and return to his nice dream of shoving his agenda down America's throat and making her like it.

Are Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod or Valerie Jarrett going to tell Obama to triangulate to the center, like Dick Morris told Clinton?  I tend to doubt it: they seem to be more committed to their Progressive goals than to their boss's re-election.  I could be wrong.

Nancy, Your Slip Is Showing

I don't believe that The Precedent is really a leftist. He doesn't really care about politics or legislation. All he wants to do is exact revenge on America and harm this nation as much as he possibly can. I have been convinced of this intention of his since back in the campaign, and I haven't been surprised by anything he's done ... just sayin'.

I think he gravitates left because that is the side of the spectrum that promotes unlimited, centralized and concentrated government power (which goes along with what he said about the Constitution being a charter of negative liberties and needing to run around it in branches other the judiciary), but I really don't think he cares one way or the other about any actual policy. "How much damage will it do to the nation?" is all I can see him really caring about. I believe that's part of why he let Reid and Pelosi run wild, because he just didn't give a shit what was in the bill, as long as it was un-American and noxious.

That's how I've seen this.

The entire plan was predicated on the swift action of the Stimulus Bill in stemming job losses.  That bill was supposed to solve the first problem and prove the superpowers of the new Administration.

They were so positive it would work, they had no backup plan for what to do when it didn't.  They just pretended that it DID work, and went on to "solving" the next "problem," health care.  And the more the real-world evidence piled up that the Stimulus failed, the more they piled up fabricated counter-evidence that it "saved or created" a bazillion jobs, until their claims became literally -- as in SNL -- laughable.

It kind of reminds me of the joke that ends with the punch line, "That's easy: assume a can opener."

The problem with Brown giving the response, he could turn off the moderate Dems and Independents he got in this election if he's seen as being too partisan.

Well, I think he did get much more done than David Rice Atchison....

In darkened streets the sirens sound

The few abroad look skyward

In darkened houses close to ground

Deep shelter is the byword

The sirens wail, the bomber stream

Fills darkened sky with thunder

Below the children clutch and scream

As mothers only wonder

Can they survive another night

Then come incendiaries

The firefighters try to fight

Amid their family worries

The flames take hold and spread so fast

The wind whips round the corners

And then itÂ’s over, burnt at last

With few surviving mourners

In Cambridge town the bomber stream

Does not bring death, but trouble

For ObieÂ’s ugly marxist dream

ThatÂ’s now reduced to rubble

Nancy Pelosi told reporters that although they lost in Massachusetts, Democrats were the

real winners.

In a related story, scientists now say Botox can cause delusions.

The problem these idiot Democrats are facing, and right now it's sinking to haunt them, is that the entire raft of their agenda depended on a supermajority. All of it. Now they've lost that supermajority and with it a ton of face and credibility. They have to either back off and lower their sights, or double down and really put the screws on. They still have both houses, one with 59 senators and a bunch of RINOs who can't be expected to keep it together forever, and they have a sychophantic media. So they can still swing a wrecking ball, and we'd be wise to look out.

But this election really embarrasses them and it exposes real vulnerablility. They look either incompetent, or reckless, or both, for engineering this fiasco. It's great going on a victory lap over at Kos right now, to see all these retards firing themselves to double down on cramming their agenda down America's throat. They're feeling pressed by time and itching to up the ante. Decent people will not accept this kind of gambling with their futures. This ain't a political casino, and we are not lab rats for hopeychangey-eyed progressive schemes. This is our country they are gambling with, and they will be stopped.

The White House says that President Obama did not watch the election

results the tonight.

Big Ball videos instead.

That's actually been his M.O. since Inauguration Day. He gives a topic (e.g., "stimulus") and some vague guidelines ("no tax cuts; target spending on union jobs"), and then delegates the rest to Pelosi and Reid. You'd think he'd have Emanuel or Axelrod or Jarrett draft guidelines for legislation, but he doesn't even bother with that - he just claims credit for whatever Reid and Pelosi manage to get passed.

It's hard to imagine what he's going to speechify about next, though.  He can no longer try to pass off his stimulus as a success by inventing jobs "saved or created," because unemployment has been too high for too long and some people are running out of benefits.  He can't call for health care reform because it's clear the Democrats can't pass anything - and even if he'd be willing to work with Republicans on incremental reforms, Pelosi and Reid wouldn't (and I doubt Emanuel, Axelrod or Jarrett would, either).

Is he really going to push for Cap and Trade, which has even less chance of passing than health care reform?  Is he really going to push for an immigration amnesty?  What else is left?

Good ball dipping music.

Dudes/chicks, I wish I could be in MA tonight. How much fun would that be! I got up this morning, about 4am and turned on Bill Bennet, static am signal until the sun comes up. Then, I continued reading the blogs looking for news on the race. Finally the time came when I headed off to school, listening to Rush. I got to the Park n Ride, and walked to the train station, reading blogs all the way to school. I had to turn off cell because the instructor busted my balls about it, he's awesome though so it's cool. No updates for 5 long hrs. I leave school about 15 mins b4 the polls close in MA, hit the train station about 10 mins till and board. I was reading Legal Insurrection the whole way home as he was live blogging it. It was drizzling all day so I had to walk in the rain to my car, of course i had to park IN THE VERY BACK OF THE LOT CAUSE THOSE WERE THE ONLY SPOTS LEFT but no big deal. I like a little rain. I finally got to the car and turned on Hugh Hewitt and drove to my buddies house in the rain. I finally arrived and ran straight to the computer. Then I saw that the miracle had happened. My mom called and by the end of the conversation, she was in tears of joy. She is a true saint and patriot and will KICK ASS. What a huge day. I was just a kid when Carter was in office but I remember the hostages in Iran. Then I remember Reagan, awesome. Didn't care much for Bush SR, didn't care much for Slick Willy, but I like W other than his spending. But my Lord, I really am at a loss with Buraq. What a complete dipshit and all his syncophants. BALL DIPPING GOODNESS Y'ALL!!!

Posted by: George Orwell at January 20, 2010 03:03 AM (AZGON)

But our attitude has been a leading indicator of public sentiment, for quite a long time, even if the reasoning was different. As Bush drifted left, we lost enthusiasm for him and his public numbers dropped like a rock, though others had different problems with him. We were out of 2006, though we voted - there was no enthusiasm for anyone. The only place this trend was countered, I think, was Nov 2008, and that was because the public had gone nuts from the credit crisis - still affected to a large extent. And the Tea Party is mainstream America.

I think the difference is that we are for limited government, while the left is for unlimited federal control. So, since mainstream American attitudes about government are also for limited government, two finite numbers must be closer to each other than to infinity. Q.E.D.

We won't make it through four, intact, though.

Don't get me wrong, he'll still screw things up wherever he can through executive action but the big society remaking legislative agenda of health care reform, cap and trade and immigration amnesty? Dead

Dick Morris was just on F&F and he said they will still pass the healthscam bill by having the House vote on the Senate Bill.  I sttill do not understand how they can do that since it is a revenue bill.

I prfedict that it will wind up in court. As for crap and tax, it was dead before the election. That is why the EPA is getting involved. Congress will have to take action to stop the EPA and they are not likely to do that.

Because it still originated in the House. The Senate passed an amended version of HR3590.

Because it still originated in the House. The Senate passed an amended version of HR3590.

The current bill approved by the Senate is S.1796. This is the Baucus Bill. Looking at its legislative history on Thomas tracking there is no mention of this ever having been introduced as a different bill in the House.

IOW, according to Thomas this bill originated with Baucus and was first introduced 10/19/09.  Based on that, and the fact that it introduces financial items it can not be simply approved in the House as is.

I stand by what I said. This should, and will, wind up in court if they do that.

Obama is a dyed in the wool liberal who knows nothing else.

Based on all of his appointments and his statement he is a "dyed in the wool communist".  There is nothing else that can describe what he does.

The question is will he continue to try and ram those programs through what will be an increasingly hostile Congress (and fail) or move to the center and pass whatever pragmagtic/mainstream liberal policies he can.   

Juan Williams was adamant last night that it is Congress who will ram the healthcare bill through.  He didn't like it or agree with it but he said they had invested too much into it at this point and won't give up.  And that Pelosi and company will say to those running for re-election ..."screw you, we're making history here.  Do you want to go down as having been against such a historical moment?"  So if he's right, we'll get control of both houses but be stuck with a  piece of shit healthcare law. 

...and in two days...GITMO WILL BE CLOSED

Yeah Obama

Oh, I know people who are smarter than I am.

Oddly enough, none of them are Libs.

T. Boone Nosepickens on F&F being feted as a hero.  This man is a damn crook who tried to get Texas and congress to pass laws that would force land owners to cough up land for his power lines and wind farms (basically a land grab). He already had huge federal subsidies to build these damn things which have now gone belly up because he couldn't get them to go along as he wanted.  Now he wants more laws to force people into natral gas, which he just happens to own a lot of.

The history books like to portray the iron magnates and banking magnates of the early 1900s as "robber barrons".  That was what the progressives wanted.  Instead in that era the real robber barrons were the railroad magnates who got laws passed that gave them sweetheart deals on federal land.

T. Boone represents the robber barrons of today who go to Washington and get laws passed forcing consumers to buy their product or killing their competion.  The commies complained about "crony capitalism" under Bush. In actuality this is Fascism and CONGRESS is responsible for it.

If we had a true court system this could not ioccur because the government would not have the power to do these things.

Anyone have a link to a history of Democrats/Republicans headcounts in House/Senate?

Actually you CAN use Wiki for that by looking at each individual congress. It is of interest to note to the libtards that the last time the Republicans had a 60 vote majority in the Senate was in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

This is the main reason thre Supreme Court is a liberal majority.

What don't they get? 

I wonder about that  myself. Are they sooo self mastabatory that they don't see the writing on the wall?

Horses with blinders...

Obama is a dyed in the wool liberal Marxist/socialist/statist/nihilist who knows nothing else.

FIFY.

This morning the ever running at the mouth without thinking super reporter, david on msnbc said that there are some republicans that are in trouble too missed the point. 

This is nothing more than typical liberal spin. They always do this after a disastrous defeat.

As Dick Moris said this morning; this a sea change in politics in America. But as Juan Williams said last night, Obama will push for his agenda full speed ahead with no thought to congress. 

Remember, the "won" has only been in two elections; one of which was basically an appointment by the Daly machine. He is actually a clueless idiot who has been "given" everything he ever had.

The real question over the next several weeks will be "what is congress going to do"?

Anybody want to start the countdown to Jim Webb jumping the aisle?

I'm not sure he'll jump but he's already running to the middle as fast as he can. In fact I got an email from him last week saying that he is championing increased govt investment in nuclear power. I write him back every time with: "I am gravely disappointed in Sen Webb. He is Obama's lackey." When you call his offices to tell them to vote against Obamacare, they actually write down your name and listen unlike the ones that act bitchy. However, I do think he is just another democrat and is crazy as a bedbug. Local lore says that he was such a problem under Reagan that he only lasted a few months. He is also on wife number 3? which tells me he either has poor judgement or is a dick.

Brown/McDonnell '12

Well, as expected, reviewing some of the news stories and columns you find the talking points:

1. The Dems blame Coakley and a poor campaign.

2. Coakley staff blame the Dem Party and Obama.

3. The neocons say it is a Republican revolution and shows that they must govern from the "center" (e.g. big tent RINO)

All of the above are in denial.

exactly, he's great w/ stats and facts and my gf's mom gave me his book "Arguing with Idiots" which is a great handbook to help argue w/ libtards but he's so out of touch when it comes to history. He tries to portray Teddy Roosevelt as one of our worst Presidents, tries to portray himself as "Hey I didn't like Bush too" even though he's been caught w/ several soundbytes praising the guy, every thing is the "progressives"'s fault always claiming there are "good democrats" (there's such a thing these days?), and when you see that he actually considers John Adams an awesome President (he was a horrible President and had people's free speech shut down) and puts Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Tiger Woods, And Teddy Roosevelt in the same list as killers like Pol Pot, you see he overdoes it w/ the drama and doomsday crap

the one w/ his daughter looking at the Jefferson memorial is curious, if he actually looked up Jefferson he'd realize Jefferson wouldn't like anything he's done as President

Brian obvioulsy doesn't live in PA.  Ask all those state government employees still waiting to play catch up on their pay checks, ask all those people standing in line at the unemployment office, etc. if Fast Eddie is "smart." 

@YRM,

He tries to portray Teddy Roosevelt as one of our worst Presidents....

I watch him quite often, and the only Roosevelt that he crtiticizes, to my knowledge, is Franklin.

What did he say about Teddy?

Webb defeated a popular Senator and former Governor just barely(the race took all night to call) thanks to a youtube clip, a bad republican year, and a very motivated democrat electorate. He also ran as a moderate dem. But as Senator he's become a partisan piece of crap that once decided to disrespect and start arguing w/ Dubya when he simply asked him how his son was doing in Iraq

I meant to address that to Vet Missing Parts.

The left is spinning that Mass already has universal health care and that the federal bill wouldn't help them but only cost them money. Therefore, the election in Mass against fed health care cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the nation because the rest of the nation wants health care. Greta responded that the polls don't bear that out. The response was full denial of the polls.

I'm hoping that the far lefties make some sort of stand so they can be picked off. Some friend of my mother's insist that the polls are at 50%. Since I avoid talking to libs, I can't find out why they think this.

Posted by: YRM at January 20, 2010 08:55 AM (MxqA5)

I agree with him on Teddy Roosevelt, except I don;t think he was on the level of Pol Pot (or any commuinist for that matter). TR was a progressive in the trueist sense of the word. Hell, he actually ran on that platform.

The liberal history books all worship him for his "trust busting" but that was the first of unwarranted federal intrusion into the private markets. The only thing Standard Oil was guilty of was reducing the price of kerosene by a huge amount.

Even then we did not have a Supreme Court that was worth a shit because they allowed congress to get away with it.

As for Woodrow Wilson, he was a dictator during WWI, more so than FDR during WWII. (and that is saying something)

Posted by: SFC MAC at January 20, 2010 09:02 AM (/9h7Q)

he basically tries to portray him as a "progressive" because of some populist anti business speeches which is all he has to use against him. he forgets to mention that Teddy wasn't afraid to fight wars, defend the country, his administration had the lowest government spending and a good budget, he stopped the monopolization of American business, worked top stop child labor and labor laws that keep Glenn's ass from working 70 hours a week for horrible pay, cleaned up horrible conditions of how food and water was made/distributed and gave us some wonderful natural parks. Teddy was in my mind the 4th greatest President we had and Beck constantly bashes him over populist speeches and even said he's worse then Obama. He'd be in Obama's face demanding he stop short changing the American People

Posted by: YRM at January 20, 2010 09:03 AM (MxqA5)

Yeah, I know he is a now a loony left wack-job. That is why I was surprised that he had teamed up with a republican from Tenn to push nuclear power. I enjoy torturing environmentalists with nuclear power..."you want clean? What about nuclear power? Why not? How many people got hurt at 3 mile island 30 years ago? How many problems have we had in the Navy? Don't know? Didn't think so.

That doesn' t mean I would ever support him but I do think he is a loose cannon and could irritate the far left too.

Posted by: Vic at January 20, 2010 09:08 AM (QrA9E)

I strongly disagree w/ you on Teddy, I do agree w/ you on FDR & def. Wilson that POS shut down free speech like had never been seen since John Adams (one of Becks' favs) and even then though I didn't see Wilson killing people off like Pol Pot or Hitler.

Posted by: steevy at January 20, 2010 09:06 AM (SlDZb)

actually he was pissed with Taft as President and did everything in his power to try and stop him, Taft actually grew government spending but he was an ok President

LOL, that is the very definition of "progressivism".  I ask you, where in the Constitution does the government have that authority?

Posted by: curious at January 20, 2010 09:10 AM (p302b)

hopefully we don't hear the "RINO" crap start, I say give the guy a chance

it's like those who call Romney a RINO, Reagan was a RINO as a CA Governor and learned from his mistakes enough from governing that he didn't repeat the same mistakes as President

Posted by: Vic at January 20, 2010 09:14 AM (QrA9E)

ok so in other words, let's allow kids to work, let's allow people to work rid. hours for horrible pay, let's allow our parks to be destroyed, let's allow food to be unsafe, let's allow the monopolization of industries allowing no competition or free market? sorry don't want to live in that world

If you go back and look at the time period mkost States had already enacted laws regulating child labor. Correcting those problems, where they were problems, did not require the intrusion of the federal government.

And the Standard Oil thing was pure BS.

Posted by: Vic at January 20, 2010 09:24 AM (QrA9E)

i'll admit you got a point there that the states could have gotten it done, but i'm still glad Teddy did those things, that said let's go w/ the whole "Teddy sucks, he was a progressive, he was horrible", the dude didn't destroy the economy like FDR & Wilson did, he didn't imprison people like Wilson did. He was nowhere like those 2 dolts who had a saved legacy all over wars

As has been noted by several of us, as the mouthpieces seem to want to make us believe, there is nothing whatsoever to be learned from Brown's victory.  In the Dems case, they are saying that it is head down, full speed ahead.  They are lying - obviously.

But the Repubs, they act as if there is nothing for them to learn from this.  They see this as their victory.  A validation that what they are doing is right.  They are wrong, and probably stupid.

They certainly have an opportunity here, but their problems with the people are no less serious, imo, than those of the Dems.

This election was not won by Republicans.  It was won by independents.  If the Republicans don't want to deal with having to fight off third party candidates in the future and thereby risk losing whatever chance they think they have at regaining a majority, they need to learn some serious lessons from this election, as well. 

The most important, imo, is to solidify in their minds that just like the senate seat in Mass. was not Kennedy's seat, the money that they are pissing away indiscriminately, is not theirs.  The debts they are causing this country to accumulate will one day have to be paid back or this country will fail.  The power they have wrested from the states should be returned.  Buying votes, by either party, is corrupt. 

And that list could go on for a long time.  And that's just my ignorant opinion.

416 That's excellent that Webb was knocked out---he isn't stable as SECDEF I would worry about a "DeadZone" scenario.

Kerry is laughable.

considering his gimmick of being ultra conservative, i'm afraid he might not be

Posted by: curious at January 20, 2010 09:29 AM (p302b)

I told myself not to listen to Glenn except maybe once a month, same rule with Rush. Rush bores me and he comes on at the same time my fav comes on, Gibson, and Beck is too negative and doomsday though I appreciate his self deprecating humor

He is saying "red flag" on Brown over the daughter's remark and adding the addendum of "nude model".  He can't be serious, can he?

He is simply following his "the Republicans are just as bad shctick".  I like Beck on most things but this is one of his big weaknesses.

considering his gimmick of being ultra conservative, i'm afraid he might not be

Beck is NOT "ultra conservative". He is more like a religious version of Ron Paul.

That's a duo I could wrap my arms around. Really.

My teenages suggested that 2 white guys might not do it. How things change? Or is that just the lefty meme?

Call me crazy but it is very difficult for an educated young woman to meet a suitable marriageable guy these days. 

LOL, once you get into the 30s that has always been the case.  (and note that it is not limited to "educated women")

They were never in the forefront of his election.

You must have missed the column yesterday. The NRCS was involved full bore. They were just keeping it under the table.

it makes me wonder if the "meltdown" stuff that I used to laugh at might actually be a possibility, really? a joke suddenly takes up almost an hour of your show? just go back to telling us how Obama will lead to Hitler 2.0 Beck

He and Michelle should keep that in the bedroom not the...oh you meant metaphorically screwing a dog.

Don't get me wrong, he'll still screw things up wherever he can through executive action

The sad part about this?  It's my understanding that congress has 30 days after the signing of an E.O. to say un-uh.  No ya don't.  We ain't lettin' this one through, and vote it down.  But does it ever happen?

The fight is not over.

Beck was retarded this morning, I shut his ass off.

Just going on and on and on about what Brown said about his daughters.

Dude, the guy has been up 48 hours and just fucking WON the MA senate seat.

And, if you had done any oppo research last night, the daughter comment is a meme the Left is trying to stir shit with.

So, Glenn, kindly STFU and get to the substance.

That's a googy woogy pretty boy, one year old today! Blow out the candle! Blow out the candle! I know the new toofies hurt, sweetsy weetsy, you can do it! Blow the pretty candle, blow the pretty candle!

GET THIS BRAT OUT OF HERE!

Obama & his handlers come from Illinois, a state where the democrats and republicans are like the Globetrotters and the Wash Generals, they are the same team with different jerseys.  There are very few politicians in IL who have principles and stick to them.  Everybody has a price and can be bought....former Gov Blago (D-IL) is indicted and heading for prison, his immediate predecessor Gov Ryan (R-IL) is in prison. 

Of course the Chicago boys think they can push ahead with their socialist agenda, Scott Brown & his victory mean nothing to them.  Baghdad Bob was a model of clear thinking compared to the corruptocrats from Illinois, Obama & Axelrod & Emmanuel really cannot see what just happened last night.  Expect more dirty deeds done in the middle of the night, more bribes (ala Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, union exemptions from taxes, etc).  They won't stop until people from the other 49 (or 57) states make them stop.

"280 Historic - Barry becomes a lame duck in his first year."

I daresay it's... unprecedented.

Well, what a difference a year makes, huh!?!?!  With the WH, Pelosi, Reid refusing to moderate, looks like this just might be the President with the fastest sprint to lame duck status!

Welcome back, Carter. We missed you!  Not.

I looked up the Senate voting record and it says that they voted on HR3590 on Dec 24th. Am I missing something?

U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 111th Congress - 1st Session

as compiled through Senate LIS by the Senate Bill Clerk under the direction of the Secretary of the Senate

Vote Summary

Question: On Passage of the Bill (H.R. 3590 as Amended )

Vote Number: 396 Vote Date:

December 24, 2009, 07:05 AM

Required For Majority: 1/2 Vote Result:

Bill Passed

Measure Number: H.R. 3590 (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act )

Measure Title: An act entitled The Patient

Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Vote Counts: YEAs 60

NAYs 39

Not Voting 1

I don't see any record of a vote for any Senate-originated bill on Dec 24th.

OK, I see the Baucus bill that they were all talking about the "compromise" on never got voted on. Instead we get this. I note the original purpose of the bill:

Resolved, That the bill from the House of Representatives (H.R. 3590) entitled ‘‘An Act to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the first-time homebuyers credit in the case of members of the Armed Forces and certain other Federal employees, and for other purposes.’’, do pass with the following...

The took a relatively innocuous bill that all were for stripped all the language from it and replaced it with healtyhcare.  To me that is pure fraud to get around the requirements.

I see that winding up in court as well.

Posted by: Vic at January 20, 2010 01:40 PM (QrA9E)

Yeah. I think they did it this way, originally, to set up for the possibility of raping us through reconciliation - if all else failed. Frankly, calling such a massive alteration of the structure and expansion of the extent of the federal government into the private sector cannot, in any way, be termed a "revenue bill" (for reconciliation purposes). I know that common sense and reason have no place in our modern courts, but if this were brought before me I'd hold the sponsors liable for fraud, of some type - as you say.

Sadly, Vic, the only way to stop the left is to physically stop the left. Any quarter they are given, they take and use in another offensive on civilization - just like their pals, the arab/persian/muslim terrrorists.
