Senator Denounces Federal Budget Bill as 'Trojan Horse' to Fund New Health Care Law

How will our current “social liberal/fiscal conservative” RINOs vote on this trillion dollar budget bill?

The Senate will decide the fate of the $1.2 trillion budget bill that narrowly passed the House Wednesday night and would keep the government running through September of next year. But Senate Democrats are planning to add more money, including thousands of pet projects sought by lawmakers.

They need to kill it dead dead dead. If that means shutting down the gov so be it. These commie bastards that are in there now need to be stopped. The Republicans need to figure out a strategy for keeping the current congress for passing anything else while we are waiting for their rotting carcasses to slink out of the City of Heavenly Assholes.

We certainly have entered into a time of f-edupedness.  Even our (potential) victories are tainted by the seeds of failure.  Doubtless preventing the tax increase will have a genuine stimulative effect, and Obastard will get credit for it.  And, as always, the Republican party is plagued by traitors who lurk and wait to sabotage the hard work of real conservatives.

On immigration, two Grahams?

Senator denies flip-flopping on issue

WASHINGTON — Six years ago, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham crafted a rare type of bill that blocked the U.S. government from punishing an Aiken high-school girl for a crime her mother had committed long ago — smuggling her across the Mexico border as an infant in search of a better life.

Seven months ago, Griselda Lopez Negrete graduated from the University of South Carolina Aiken with an honors degree in business administration, and as a permanent legal resident of the United States on a path toward citizenship.

Graham, though, has trod a different path.

Three years after promoting a landmark immigration reform bill, Graham is now joining hardliners in opposing a measure that would grant the same protections to children of illegal aliens that he provided Negrete in 2004.

Graham sees no contradiction between his past support for immigration reforms — branded “amnesty” by fellow South Carolina Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint — and his current stance against a measure to create a conditional route to citizenship for as many as 500,000 children of illegal immigrants.

From what I can make of it, Krauthammer is arguing that the tax cut is gonna cost 360 billion, and when added to Democrat spending increases it equals a 990 billion "stimulus".

To which I say bullshit. The tax "cut" doesn't cost anything.

If the Democrats really are increasing spending by 630 billion the Republicans should be screaming their bloody heads off about it, but there's not much else they can do in the present congress.

How will our current “social liberal/fiscal conservative” RINOs vote on this trillion dollar budget bill?

Pat Caddell (PBUH) was on fire last night on Hannity and this morning on F&F.  HE truly made the Repub strategists look awful.  Pat said McConnell's in on the boondoggle that will give billions to Hollowood, ethanol and rum production and NASCAR!  When asked about the spending, the dem strategist said, "NASCAR is a big constituency."  AAARRRRRRRRGGGHH.

Last night, Caddell was so disgusted with Karen Hanretty -- who I've never seen so arrogant -- he said, "What do you think the Tea Party wants?"  She clearly didn't care and just kept saying that everyone should "just get on with it," much the same as the Repub strategist (don't know who this one was) said this morning.  The elite GOP has their talking points out.

Pat said watching this dem admin is like watching a bad movie, "worse than the bad movie I was in."

Murkowski places condition on 'don't ask, don't tell' repeal

Murkowski said in a statement Wednesday that America is "the loser when it denies those who are willing to make the great sacrifices demanded of our men and women in uniform the opportunity do so on grounds of sexual orientation."

But she also warned her support of the underlying legislation was conditional, and she wouldn't vote to move forward on debate of the defense bill unless Democrats gave the GOP additional time to debate and amend it.

In other words, I will stab you pubbies in the back here shortly, how's my ass taste?

Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic caucus starts wearing Burqas to symbolize their solidity with the Iranian leadership...

Obama bans offshore drilling - since the Venezuelans were obviously acting to protect their beaches from our pollution...

James Cameron strips down to shorts, a spear, and some blue face paint to symbolize his unity with the primitive Havatampa Indians of the Venezuelan rain forest...

Fortunately the Bush era missile defense system stops the first wave of Iranian nukes... oh wait the Obama administration disassembled that as being too provocative and destabilizing ...

As the first fireballs erupt over US cities the readership of Daily Kos collectively reflects that perhaps grabbing the steering wheel away from the adults wasn't that good an idea after all...

The irony is, this is one stimulus that can really work. If only we had suspended all federal taxation instead of passing Porculus. We'd have recovered by now - I truly believe that.

There are many days I think Hannity listens to Rush to learn what's going on.  Yesterday must not have been one of them.

61 I just received this email from Senator Webb [d-VA]:

; font-weight: bold;">The “ultimate stimulus plan”

This week, the White House proposed a bipartisan plan on middle class tax cuts and unemployment insurance, which will reinvigorate our economy and put Americans back to work.

I commend the President for his leadership in forging this agreement.  The proposal is the ultimate stimulus plan. It will put more money directly into the pockets of people and small businesses, allowing that money to be quickly recycled as the economy expands. It will provide greater certainty for business and investment planning and extend several programs that effectively serve working Americans and lower-income families. 

Failing to act now will result in higher taxes for almost all Americans starting on January 1st – an unacceptable result for an economy that remains fragile and in danger of further job losses.

No one will agree with every provision in the proposed agreement.  The simple reality is that the American people--particularly those who are out of work--cannot afford to wait while politics-as-usual blocks an effective, bipartisan plan to stimulate the economy and restore growth.

Aand... we have our talking points.

Yeah. Graham is the ultimate Mr. Malleable constantly mutating to whichever best suits his maintenance of perpetual personal comfort zone. The ONLY thing you can count on from the bastard is a neatly delivered knife in the back.

There are still enough votes to bring it to the floor without them, provided it still has Republican support. Most of what we are hearing is media hype.

"Coons said he was outraged with the Senate's decision Thursday, and said partisan politics is what kept the policy from being struck down.

'Don't ask, don't tell is discrimination, plain and simple,' he said. 'And the majority of the military agrees that its repeal will not impact readiness or unit cohesion.'"

In the '08 campaign, that was the consensus. He reminds me of a small terrier that fixates and just won't quit whatever no matter until you do as you're told by the terrier. pff

The likes of Hannity claiming to be a Libertarian, not a Republican, when Bush's approval rating sank to septic. That's pathetic. To his credit on that, since Rand won '10, Hannity played "nice" with Ron Paul discussing the economy a month ago. Funny I caught that bit surfing channels, tired of the FM classical repetition of masterworks.

But Hannity will do as he's told by Republican establishment, as will Palin (imo*). So don't be surprised when the loyal progressive "compassionates" (who conserve socialism in federal government) congeal to support the likes of Jeb, Newt, or even the "fresh face" of Rick Perry of '12 contest.

*/an interesting conjecture, after Bush left office and went into hibernation, they might have sent the idea to Palin to duck out of public office until things cooled down, mentioning what all she and her family could do during the interim--Barbara Bush convinced as ever that she could always manage the top down implosion of any Bush rival.

75 Here's a strange story:

Cops: Man stabbed stepfather to impress radical Muslims

A young man claiming to be a Shiite Muslim stabbed his stepfather Wednesday night with a butcher's knife, township police said.

Alex Williams, 21, of 204 Forrest Drive, stabbed his sleeping stepfather, James Williams, with a 13-inch butcher's knife and ran from his bedroom yelling to his mother, "I had to do it, I'm a terrorist, I'm a Shiite," according to an affidavit.

[ . . . ]

"My husband and my whole family stand by him," Mrs. Williams said of her son. "But he is not a terrorist."

"He has mental illness. He's been in and out of hospitals for three years," Mrs. Williams said in a telephone interview. "I feel that one day, as a mother, he will fully recover, with the proper medical treatment."

[ . . . ]

In her conversation with Times-Shamrock newspapers, Mrs. Williams said Alex had shown interest in various faiths, but doubted whether he had become seriously committed to Islam.

"He seems to explore different religions quite frequently," she said. "Last week he was Jewish."

76 vic...no problem kp says hi.......lol

77 ed interesting....and the week he was muslim he became violent.....hmmmm....anyone taking notes....i think there may be a pattern

78 "He seems to explore different religions quite frequently," she said. "Last week he was Jewish." Posted by: Ed Anger at December 10, 2010 08:22 AM (7+pP9) Yeah well last week when he was Jewish, he tried to save the world. This week when he was muslim he tried to destroy it? Do the math.

Hannity's sole credit rests with his research staff.

They found Rev. Wright and schooled Hannity on Liberation Theology. And the terrier took off running with it, to his credit.

I just can't take the high decibel regurgitation of general ignorance any more, whether from Hannity, Rush, never much took to either sides of the emotionally overwrought Beck or (gag the center of the universe) Jones.

I've reached the point of tuning out Laura Ingraham as often as not, and only leave the musical channels for the 2-hour Fred Thompson (online) who has good interviews and surmises events solidly. (No news breaking from Teh Fred.) Michael Savage has absolutely gone self indulgent to his show's demise, instead of occasionally beginning poorly, he's stuck inside his own mind writing books all day/night, and can't really spill the beans of his novel. So it's recycled bile that I won't tolerate.

I think it says they're down with the whole "chaos" thing that leaves the world looking for its savior -- communism, to the stupid.  Did you know that Barky made a deal with the Ruskies to work on the smart grid?  Apparently Russians don't have a dismal enough life; Pooty Poot is going to start switching off the power.  We have that to look forward to also.

Put down the bong, dude.  Seriously.

113 Thanks Hedgehog, you are a voice screaming _{IN ALL CAPS} in the wilderness.

Newt's sell-by date is long past.  He needs to go teach somewhere.


The Hillary Maneuver is still in play.  Look for a challenger to Obungler from the far left to come take one for the team and draw the fire from Obungler's most reliable voters.  Then the Dems beg Hillary to ride to the rescue to Save the Party.

Yep, glad to say that wonders never cease.

126 105 Looks like the Iran Problem will be in our backyard soon.  For some reason, I have little faith in Obama to pull a Kennedy on this and stop the missiles from ever showing up.

CDR M, thanks for reminding us all that in the end, there will be only chaos.  Not that I didn't pimp this story enough yesterday... .  I don't doubt the story's veracity either.

Anyway, it is a brilliant strategic move by both countries, even if this base solely houses the Shahab-3 missile with a range of "only" 1200 miles.  Not only does it remove missile stock out of range from a conventional Israeli strike, it allows both Chavez and Ahmedinejad to put another thumb in our collective eyes at the same time. 

Think Obama is going to do a damn thing about it?  Me neither.

/Undead made a good quip yesterday about JFK almost getting us into a nuclear war anyway, and Khrushchev was a "rational" enemy.   Now we have "12th-ers" putting potentially nuclear-capable weapons in range of the Southern Continental US.

Krauthammer says that the Republicans just kissed Obama's ass royal.

Swindle of the Year @ NRO

Pat Caddell made the same point on Hannity last night, only to be shouted down by some GOP harpie (Hanretty?).  And of course, Jim DeMint has been making exactly this point all along.  Heard him on Greta last night, he isn't getting on board, allahpoundit's suggestion to the contrary notwithstanding.

In their first test, the New and Improved GOP! reverted to form, selling out.  The result, as always:  more deficity spending.  They will never, ever stop spending.  Never.

Think N Korea and its nuke program. Everytime they fire up a bulldozer, or load a chip at dockside, another flurry of stories will result in politicians DOING SOMETHING (caps intentional) and being seen doing so. "we are acting to defuse the situation" events compel us to act in a rational manner". I can write this crap all day. Iran gets Obama to shut up, the Arabs who privately wanted Iran qouashed are now royally screwed (which Steyn preduicted years ago) and Chavez beomes another thug subsized by us.

136 Think Obama is going to do a damn thing about it?  Me neither.

Give self-imposed starving nations nuclear weapons to play with. Brilliant.

Unless they're accompanied by trained implementers, our best gamble is that Venezuela won't capably use them against us, won't even try for the couple years it takes to train. By which time, maybe Chavez will do us a favor and blow himself up. Or we'll get a neoconservative potus '12 who will take Chavez out with the nukes.

Sheesh, the talk about negotiating a military deal with Mexico to implement  better governance there, so the future launch @ Venezuela would initiate south of our border?

Regardless, the point was It's the Spending, Stupid.

That's right, I almost never agree with Kraut, but the point is, the compromise doesn't include ANY spending cuts.  None.  And it definitely does include spending increases, to cover the UE for another year.

Bad, bad bad bad.  We can do much better if we just wait a few weeks.

Hey!

146 spaltz? i thought it was spluge?

147 Speaking of the Peace prize, Mr. Allaboutme issued a statement on Liu winning it:

snip~

So on this notable occasion, the White House released a statement from President Obama on the awarding of the prize to Liu in absentia. And this is how Obama's statement began:

One year ago, I was humbled to receive the Nobel Peace Prize -- an award that speaks to our highest aspirations, and that has been claimed by giants of history and courageous advocates who have sacrificed for freedom and justice.

Critics have often said of Obama that "it's all about him," that he has a tendency to reference himself no matter what subject he is discussing. Could he do any more to prove them right? But just to show that he is, in fact, humble, the president followed his opening sentence with this:

Mr. Liu Xiaobo is far more deserving of this award than I was.

I regret that Mr. Liu and his wife were denied the opportunity to attend the ceremony that Michelle and I attended last year.

I'm kinda surprised it didn't get its own thread, this being a smart military blog and all. 

I'm also surprised that Iran hasn't gotten the S-300s yet.  Maybe it is a secret incentive the Russians have for us to sign the START treaty?  Not that Iran won't get the S-300s anyway - most likely the Russians will give Bulgaria a few batteries, and they'll in turn "sell" them to Iran.

Timely challenge for Republicans to look themselves in the mirror.

When the Kraut is right, you gotta hand him that much. It's the spending. Either it matters or not. To incumbent Republicans, not.

The Tea Party line is drawn in the sand. It's FISCAL CONSERVATISM, not more Bushist gargantuan spending from the establishment meant to keep it that way.

Lerner is bad for the Jewish religion, and maybe even worse for Jewish culture.

He is an unrepentant leftist from the 1960s, and doesn't have any feelings for anything other than his own brand of Jewish "progressivism." I would define him as a self-hating Jew, but he hasn't been a real Jew in so long that he's forgotten what it means. He would be the type to point out the Jews in hiding to delay his own deportation.

Why aren't they termed the OBAMA/DEMOCRAT tax increases?  This is obviously true since they increase the current rates that have been in place for ten years.  By the way, if you go to the tax table info from IRS, these democrap tax hikes are a major tax increase on almost everybody that works (and declares their income).  Illegals amd those on unemployment that are also off the books for valu-rite funding suport don't get hit-hmmm--core constituency?

186 (Reuters) - "Saturday Night Live" head writer Seth Meyers has been tapped as the key speaker at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in April, organizers said on Wednesday.

Meyers, who anchors the sketch comedy show's popular "Weekend Update" news segment, joins a long list of comedians who have spoken at the annual dinner that is a top event for journalists in Washington D.C. and is attended by the U.S. president as well as politicians and Hollywood celebrities.

"Seth is a very smart, very sharp, and very funny observer of the political scene, and we're looking forward to seeing him on April 30," said David Jackson of newspaper USA Today and the president of the White House Correspondents Association.

The speaker at the WHCA dinner is widely-watched as a gauge for hot stars among comedians. Meyers joined "Saturday Night" in 2001 and became head writer in 2006, ascending to solo anchor of "Weekend Update" in 2008.

A graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago, Meyers has also performed with improvisational comedy groups, hosted awards shows and appeared in Hollywood movies such as "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist."

Agree completely.  If the Dems weren't such pusses about projection of power overseas to serve American interests, I think Kraut would still be a Dem.  Hes pretty liberal on domestic stuff.

It is interesting, however, to see him--and Caddell--have light bulb moments on spending.
