Once again, Joe Manchin has taken off the conservative mask he wears when he wants West Virginians to vote for him and revealed his true identity as a big-government-loving-Obama-troll.
He had the opportunity to vote aginst the so called Obama Job's Act, but he yielded to the wishes of the "dear leader" and the liberal wing of the Democrat Party.
Thankfully, the Republicans are not going to allow this bill to become law and save us from worsening our economy by raises taxes on job creators and save us from wasting another half-trillion dollars.
Voters in West Virginia must remember this in 2012.
When they look at Manchin, they should see Obama.

What Obama "inherited" and from whom
(click on the title of this post to go to CBO website then click on the link on the left that says "Historical Budget Data(.xls)")
President Obama has consistently repeated this notion that he “inherited” a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit. (According to the CBO’s website, it was 1.5 trillion)
While that is true as far as it existing when he was sworn in as President, it is a willful deception to act like he and the Democrats had nothing to do with it.
The Democrats have now controlled Congress for THREE YEARS. The budget that ended up being in deficit by 1.5 trillion dollars was written and passed by a Democrat controlled Congress(with the help of the then Senator Obama).
According to the CBO’s website, the following were the numbers regarding the last few budgets:
Fiscal Year____ Deficit______ Passed In/By____________ Signed By
2004 ________$568 billion __2003 Republican Congress ___Bush
2005 ________$493 billion __2004 Republican Congress ___Bush
2006 ________$434 billion __2005 Republican Congress ___Bush
2007 ________$342 billion __2006 Republican Congress ___Bush
2008 ________$641 billion __2007 Democrat Congress ____Bush
2009 ________$1.5 trillion __2008 Democrat Congress ____Bush
2010 ________$1.2 trillion* __2009 Democrat Congress ___Obama
*-projected
In other words, the Democrat controlled Congresses have now passed 3 straight budgets that have resulted in a total deficit of $3.34 trillion.
So the reality is that Obama “inherited” this economic mess from……his own party …….AND HIMSELF.

The vote heard 'round the world
In Massachusetts, a revolution has once again begun.
A Senate seat held by a Democrat for 6 DECADES has been won by a Republican who was all but unknown 3 months ago.
The importance of this election can not be overstated in any way.
If "Ted kennedy's seat" can be won, there is NO Democrat seat in the House or Senate that can not be won.
Not only will they not have 60 votes in the Senate, they may very well no longer be able to get over 50 votes in the Senate or over 218 in the House. If Democrats know what is good for them, they will go back to the drawing board on this issue and try to reach the bi-partisian bill that they promised to pass.
Signs are that that will not be the case. Already liberal mouth pieces like Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and Keith Ubergirl are showing that they have misread the message of this result. A message that COULD NOT BE MORE CLEAR.
STOP!!!!!!!!
THAT is what the people of Massachusetts have screamed with their vote.
STOP!!!!!!!!
THAT is what the American people are screaming.
It looks like these cries will fall on deaf ears; deaf ears that belong to Congressmen and Senators who will be enjoying their last year in office.
Congratulations to the new junior Senator from the great state of Massachusetts, Scott Brown.
Ted Kennedy was seated after his win in a special election some 46 years ago the day after his election.
Scott Brown should be sworn in tomorrow. Anything else is insult to the voters of Massachusetts and the American people.
Mr. Mollohan....are you shaking yet?

And I am paying my mortgage.......WHY?
Let us be clear about this whole situation with the new Obama mortgage bailout.
1. He proposes it the day after spending (with interest) over $1.2 TRILLION. The thinking being that no one is going to care a lick about $75 Billion after what he just did.
2. It rewards people who got loans that.....
a. they had no means(and perhaps intentions) of paying back
b. the banks were FORCED by the government to give
c. caused the mortgage crisis
3. It does NOT help those of us who qualified for loans legitimately, paid those loans religiously and have watched the value of our homes dwindle due to the crisis caused by the aforementioned loans.
A short summary of the sub-prime meltdown:
Jimmy Carter starts a problem, Bill Clinton exacerbates the problem, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd ignore and deny the problem and then Obama blames the banks for giving these people the loans that HIS PARTY FORCED THEM TO GIVE.
Have I missed something?
Anyone got a spare pitchfork?

With Respect To President Obama
No, I didn’t vote for him. No, I don’t agree with any of the policies he proposed on the campaign trail. No, I don’t like his voting history. I feel that he is too far left for the majority of Americans. He has voted 4 times in Illinois to prevent citizens from having their 2nd Amendment right. He has voted on the wrong side of life. And we still haven’t seen the official birth certificate.
But, he is my President.
As my President, Mr. Obama deserves all the respect and honor that the American President is due. I can honestly say that I am proud that America has overcome a great hurdle and elected the first African-American President. I have high hopes for America and will be praying for my President, but I also have the God-given right to disagree with anything Mr. Obama says or does.
My disagreements with my President, which I’m assuming will be many, will be done respectfully. Respectfully disagreeing with the American President is unfortunately something that I have not seen in at least 8 years. I’ve been appalled by the national news media allowing people to call President Bush childish, ignorant and quite-frankly 3rd grade terms such as “idiot,” “stupid,” or “evil.” The number of “one cent” name-calling words that have been used in the last 8 years to insult President Bush on national television is probably uncountable and, in case some are still unaware, our enemies get CNN too.
Apparently “encouraging” the enemy by giving them a view of American citizens disgracing the American President and causing division with peace demonstrators vandalizing cars all aired on our national news networks is somehow not considered to be “aiding and abetting” the enemy. Aiding and abetting the enemy is considered treason. The Constitution Article III Section 3 states, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.”
Does encouraging the enemy bring any sort of aid and/or comfort to them?
It did to our North Vietnamese enemies which they all too happily admitted after we withdrew from Vietnam. Our anti-war protesters kept up the enemy’s morale. We now know this to be a fact.
Did we not study history or do we no longer care that the people who want to kill us get a boost when they watch our national news?
Those convicted of treason used to be drawn and quartered or tarred and feathered, and gibbeted as a lesson. In more recent times the act of treason results in heavy fines and jail time. Apparently, from all of the examples of aiding and comforting the enemy I have seen in the last 8 years with the absence of convictions for such crimes, treason no longer gets much attention anymore. It is also apparent that the Logan Act is no longer punishable as evidenced by Jimmy Carter’s Hamas incident, President Obama’s pre-presidential talk with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari and Nancy Pelosi’s little vacation in Syria.
Despite the fact that our country no longer seems to hold such violations of law as punishable and despite the fact that our country apparently cannot outlaw crass, I’m sending a loud and clear message to all conservatives: Do NOT repeat the same classless disrespect to the President we did not vote for that our opposition has shown for the last 8 years.
Mr. Obama I pray that God blesses you, guides your Presidency and blesses America.
Disagreeing respectfully,
Dawn James

Obama staffers WERE going to vote ILLEGALLY and some already had.
(click on the title of this post to read the article about this story)
Staff members of the Obama Campaign in Ohio were found to have illegally registered to vote in Ohio and some of them had already voted.
Those registrations and ballots have been pulled.....NOW THAT THEY WERE CAUGHT RED HANDED!!!!!!
This is just a tiny portion of the fraud that has and will go on in Ohio and other states perpatrated by the Obama Campaing directly and by them indirectly through ACORN.
Have you seen this story anywhere but on Fox News?
The MSM is once again, to no one's surprise, proveing they are in the tank 100% for this inexperienced, leftist, friend of wackos and terrorists.
These crooks are doing their level best to steal this election.
Yes, THEY are stealing the election and we have the proof.
The kind of proof THEY NEVER had when trying to accuse the Bush Campaign of stealing elections.
Proof and evidence are two words the leftists and conspiracy believers don't understand.
A full scale investigation into the activities of Obama staffer needs to be made NOW in ALL battleground states or this election is a fraud.
If the the American people are as much in love with the idea of having "the chosen one" be their President as the media would like us to believe, they would not have to cheat to accomplish it.

An Opportunity for the Mainstream Media to Redeem Itself
(click on the title of this post to read an article about this story)
In 2006 the mainstream media, with willful intent made Rep. Mark Foley the face of the Republican Party. A person who, as it turned out, only sent inappropriate emails to a person who had already turned 18. Whatever we may think of his behavior, it did not involve any actual acts and was between two consenting adults.
Many Republicans in Congress at the time owe their election loses to this "scandal".
Now, the very Congressman who replaced Mark Foley who rad a campaign to create "a world that is safer, more moral". A Congressman whose billboards proclaimed "Faith and Family---Where I Stand". Yes, that very Congressman was in fact having an extra-marital affair with one of his staff WHILE uttering these phrases. He has paid her $121,000 to keep silent along with a $50,000 a year job. (Much like John Edwards).
IF the MSM wishes to, they can restore just a tiny bit of respect if they make Tim Mahoney the face of the Democratic Party this year.
I guarantee, they will not. In two more days tops, no one will ever mention his name again(if they even do during those two days).
If you are a Democrat.....it's different.
Congressman Gerry Studs(D-MA) actually HAD a homosexual relationship with a 17-year-old Congressional page......he was censured by the House and then was re-elected 6 MORE TIMES.
Congressman Mark Foley TALKED about having a homosexual affair with an 18-year-old Congressional page.....he was prosecuted in the press and resigned from office.
Tell me again that there is no liberal bias in the press.
Tell me again there is no double standard.
