   I see you all saw the grandstanding BHO did on tv. What a douchebag, I can’t believe he actually said to quit crying over earmarks because what bill does not come out of washington without earmarks. He should have just put on a clown costume and danced around the stage with a horn. He, Pelosi and Reid are the clown masters of ceremony in the three ringed circus that is our House, Senate and White House.

   I am really beginning to think that liberal politicians WANT A DEPESSION!

   After all they can blame it on Bush and Republicans with full support of the liberal biased media and at the same time cement their hold on power while their socialist policies take full effect.

   Muslims around the world are licking their chops. With O in office their sick cult can accelerate their plans to convert the infidels in the USA!

   Here’s Governor Corzine’s take on it:

   Gov. Jon Corzine today said it would be “catastrophic” for New Jersey as well as the country if a major federal stimulus package does not pass, saying it could mean more than a billion-dollar difference in the amount he will have to cut from the state budget to be unveiled next month.

   If we don’t see that program in the state of New Jersey, we will see cuts that are dramatically more serious than the ones I am now working on,” Corzine said. “We’re going to have cuts regardless of what is included in that package, but they’re going to be even more severe — billion dollars or more severe — for the upcoming fiscal year.”

   I’m starting to sense a trend. Boohoo.

    Socialism Alert:

    Comrades, are you aware that Obama wants an ACORN-like census in 2010?

    Census now reports directly to him.

    Now, the ’stimulus’ package includes $1 Billion for that census.

    Just say no to taxpayer funded graft and corruption. This bill smells like last week’s tuna fish sandwich.

    Cutting a few things here and there don’t change the fact it’s still a rotten sandwich.

    You’re more right than you know. Read the writings of the early Marxists (Marx, Lenin, Gramsci, Lukács and others) and you’ll see how.
    First, promote chaos; chaos causes uncertainty; uncertainty, fear; fear, desire for hope; desire for hope, a savior. While promoting chaos, one needs only to prop up their version of a savior. If you’re of the Marxist persuasion, then government is that savior, promoted via a cult of personality.

    President Obama will go on prime time TV on Monday. Probably to deliver his catastrophic message that if Pelosi’s his stimulus package doesn’t get passed right away, the United States as we are today will be worse than at any time in our Country’s past.

    He will panic the dumb-masses and they will demand the stimulus package get passed.

    OK. Fine. That is what he believes.

    So, is Mr. Steele at the RNC gonna start the media campaign about the porkulus BEFORE PBO has a chance to continue the enabling of the msm in favor of PBO?

    This is a test of the new leadership at the RNC.

    “saying it could mean more than a billion-dollar difference in the amount he will have to cut from the state budget to be unveiled next month.”

    I just don’t understand either how insanely stupid these guys are or how stupid they think we are. There is NO money. The stimulus package is not MONEY. It is pretend, borrowed, make believe DEBT money. Either these guys are out of their minds and don’t understand the difference between REAL money and BORROWED money OR they do and they think we are all idiots.

    If we don’t have the money now to cover government, state and federal, budgets borrowing it does not then mean we suddenly HAVE the money. We don’t have the money. Get on with the pain.

    Borrowing it doesn’t fix the pain. It does however magnify the pain when the funds need to be paid back.

    I learned about this thing in the military that I am afraid is happening now. I was in the Navy. Periodically we had inspections. Of course the guys doing the inspections and the folks being inspected all knew each other. While it was serious business, it was also sorta a game.

    When I was early in the Navy we were having an inspection and I was a cleaning, organizing, checking every detail fool. About 1/2 through the day an old seasoned chief petty officer came over to me and said, “Slow down son. Here’s how this works. The inspectors will look until they find something. Our job is to give them something to find. Not too easy to find as then we’ll make them look bad. Not too hard to fix cause that will make us look bad and make our work harder. They’ll find something. We’ll fix something. Everyone looks good. Then we get back to being normal and get on with our day.”

    So that’s what we did. And it worked perfectly. It worked every year that we had inspections.

    So now our “leaders” are all busy trying to find things to cut out so that in the end, the total amount of this bill isn’t so high. That is still not a good thing. It is a rope-a-dope you see. We’ll feel all good and pat ourselves on the backs because our good Republican leaders cut this, cut that, so that its not as big as the Democrats wanted. They’ll pat themselves on their proverbial backs for being all partisan like, Obama all unifier like, and we still get SCREWED.

    How much stuff do you think is in this bill that was put in their to get cut? Goofy stupid spending stuff that is in their for one purpose; to get cut to serve a political ends to impact people’s perceptions of this bill?

    We don’t want this bill trimmed down. We want this bill stopped.

    The rope-a-dope is in place folks.
