Ooooh baby- have we got a rogue’s gallery of miscreants, liars, thieves, and overall ignorant people here, and the list grows every day.
It blows me away that the newspapers, by and large, either ignore these problems, or bury them deep in the paper, hoping that people won’t read that far.
Let’s start with the big three- Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Chuck Schumer, all of these Democrats on either the House Finance Committee,or the Senate Banking Committee, and all of them, along with other, less important ones like Maxine Waters, were responsible for the sub- prime meltdown, by refusing to add regulations to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Since 1997, Barney Frank, the Elmer Fudd of the House Finance committee, has repeatedly blocked any and all attempts at reform for these lending entities, just so they could claim (falsely) that they were able to put poor people into houses.
OK, technically these poor people got the houses, but when they couldn’t afford them, they had to move out, or file for bankruptcy- not a good outcome.
Then, Chris Dodd has the Countrywide scandal, where he got sweetheart deals on mortgages that violate his oath, if obviously not his ambiguous ethics.
Now, let’s talk taxes, since the Democrats seem to be, as a group, extremely allergic to paying any- no wonder we have a budget problem. Charlie Rangel, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, which sets our tax rate and writes the ridiculous tax code, can’t seem to get his taxes straight, believing that any rent he gets from several properties in New York is not income. In addition, the cars he owns, and the ones he leases, are also subject to taxation, contrary to his beliefs.
Tom Dashle, Nancy Kilefer, Tim Geithner- all have had tax troubles that in at least two cases, led to the derailing of their nominations to the Barama cabinet. In Geithner’s case, however, he was made the head of the TReasury, which runs the IRS. This is like hiring a serial child rapist to baby sit your daughter. Seriously.
And Rhomboid Emmanuel, the Prez’ favorite homie, doesn’t seem to know the tax code either. The man who is Chief of Staff to the President feels that living rent- free, thanks to a political donor, is not crossing an ethical if not a legal line, but he isn’t even being investigated here. If this was a Republican, oh the stories you would hear and read.
And then there’s Murtha- this sorry excuse of a man is all about the graft- we cannot even call these “earmarks” with a straight face. He gets his nephew a no- bid contract- for what? we don’t know yet. The man has his own airport, built with tax dollars. This airport serves about twenty people a WEEK, and yet it has a state of the art radar station that can’t be used, because there is no one who is qualified to use this machinery. This airport has cost around 100 million over the years, and there has been NO accountability for where the money went. Did any of this money line Jackie Murtha’s pockets? Probably, but there has been no investigation, because Democrats really do not care about the law, or the people, or anything but themselves.
Witness, if you will, the sorry case of William Jefferson. The FBI have evidence of kickbacks, and even did a sting on this crook. Jefferson even had 90,000 dollars in his freezer, in a tin foil wrapped bundle. OK, that doesn’t look guilty? But the frustrating thing is that this man may not be prosecuted, or if so,receive a slap on his wrist, because the Democrats are in power now, and with the active collusion of the media, they seek to control the embarrassing moments in their overt power grab.
Some moments they cannot hide, such as the Prez’ lies, and they are legion. He promised to be transparent in his actions- he lied. He promised to eliminate the income tax for all seniors making less than $50,000 a year- he lied. He promised a $3,000 tax credit for small businesses- he lied through his teeth. He promised that he would ELIMINATE earmarks, then revised his statement- he lied, lied, lied.
Barama called presidential “signing statements” unconstitutional, then attached one of his own to a $410 billion spending bill. Is that a lie? I think so- I do know that it is HYPOCRITICAL.
I could keep on going, for at least another thousand words, and not repeat any lies that Barama has told the American public. The list is seemingly endless. The man lies like Josef Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist, who once said that if you tell a lie big enough, and you repeat it often enough, it becomes the perceived truth. This is Barama’s philosophy, unfortunately. It astounds me that more people haven’t figured this out- I have to believe that there are a lot of people who are just oblivious to the politics that will affect them, until they get hit with all these proposed restrictions.
Much like the turtle crossing the road, they are oblivious to the traffic, until they are run over.
Then, of course, it is too late.
