Maryland Legislative Hit List

Nov 11, 2007 Political

The Maryland legislature has voted on the largest tax increase in state history and it looks like the tax increases will become law soon barring any unusual events in conference. WBAL radio has posted a list of the vote and how each Delegate and Senator voted. No Republicans voted for tax increases and some of the Democrats joined them.

However, since the Maryland legislature is loaded with Democrats the votes easily passed. I urge every citizen of Maryland to look at the list and make a not of their elected leaders who voted to increase taxes and then vote those people out of office in the next election. I am glad that those who voted for these politicians and that idiot Martin O’Malley will get to feel the immense pain of not being able to make ends meet but I also realize that we need to make the politicians hurt as well.

Look at the list, print it out and put it on the refrigerator so you will be reminded daily of the people who caused the pain. Get your anger intense by election day and make them pay.

Maryland Senate Hit List

Nov 9, 2007 Political

Today the Maryland Senate voted for the largest tax hike in state history. This tax hike is unnecessary and is being done during an unnecessary special session so Governor O’Malley can start collecting taxes for a budget problem in a budget that has not been developed as yet because the current Maryland budget is balanced and expires in July 2008.

The whole idea is to get it done and enacted now so they can begin to collect taxes right at that big shopping time known as Christmas. It is also important for O’Malley to get a bunch of money to pay off all the unions and other special interest groups that he owes for their support in the last election. Today the bill passed the Maryland Senate and it goes to the House tomorrow. The bill, which they claimed would only hurt rich people (as if that is OK and it was a lie) has now been turned into a monster that will affect everyone even more so than the original plan. I personally hope it bankrupts some businesses that supported O’Malley and that the poorer folks who voted for him have to eat cat food this winter so they can heat their homes. Call me heartless but the only way to teach stupid people is for their mistakes to be painful to them.

The 24-23 vote had no Republicans voting in favor of the increase and only those Democrats the leadership let vote to no to make it close. These are the Democrats who voted to take money out of the pockets of Maryland families to pay off political debt, to cook up more social programs and to give college education and health care to ILLEGALS:

  • Gwendolyn Britt (Prince George’s County)
  • Joan Carter Conway (Baltimore City)
  • Ulysses Currie (Prince George’s County)
  • Nathaniel Exum (Prince George’s County)
  • Jennie Forehand (Montgomery County)
  • Brian Frosh (Montgomery)
  • Robert Garagiola (Montgomery County)
  • Lisa Gladden ( Baltimore City)
  • Verna Jones (Baltimore City)
  • Edward Kasemeyer (Baltimore and Howard Counties)
  • Delores Kelley (Baltimore County)
  • Nancy King (Montgomery)
  • Michael Lenett (Montgomery County)
  • Richard Madaleno (Montgomery County)
  • Nathaniel McFadden (Baltimore City)
  • Thomas Middleton (Charles County)
  • Thomas ‘Mike’ Miller (Calvert and Prince George’s County)
  • C. Anthony Muse (Prince George’s County)
  • Douglas J.J. Peters (Prince George’s County)
  • Paul Pinsky (Prince George’s County)
  • Catherine Pugh (Baltimore City)
  • Jamie Raskin (Montgomery County)
  • James Robey (Howard County)
  • James Rosapepe (Prince George’s and Anne Arundel Counties)

This is the official hit list and everyone of these slugs needs to be removed from office in the next election. They must be held accountable for ignoring the huge majority of Marylanders who were against this tax hike. They must pay for failing to realize that they work for their constituents and not the special interest groups. If one of these people is your Senator and you do not vote for his opponent then you are telling him it is OK to bend you over and have his way with you.

As for you cretins who voted for Martin O’Malley, I hope you feel the pain of this like you have never felt it before. He promised to solve the electric bill problem and you got a 75% increase that he could not stop despite his promise to do so. Now he is raising taxes and despite what he says it is going to affect every person in this state. What you buy, your home, your gas, your barber, and you name it because it will all be taxed and you will have to pay it. This winter you might have to decide between heat and food. I hope that the tax increase puts you in the depths of despair and that the taxes make it impossible for you to make ends meet. You deserve this for voting for him when you were warned he was going to do this. You deserve this pain so that you might learn.

For those of you rich libs in Montgomery County, I hope your businesses dry up and blow away. I hope you have to pay so much in taxes it makes your eyes bleed. I hope the tax increase in your over priced country club county hurts like a hot saber being slowly inserted into your heart only I hope the pain does not stop. I heard you all on the news crying about how these taxes are going to affect you and that you did not like it. Too bad. You voted for this jackass governor when he told you he was going to raise taxes.

Bet you didn’t think he meant largest tax increase in state history did you?

He sure fooled you, huh? BOHICA*

Follow the Bouncing Hillary Ball

Nov 7, 2007 Immigration, Political

Hillary Rodham is still having trouble with the issue of driver’s licenses for ILLEGALS. It has been over a week since she answered the question about it several different ways and twenty-four hours after her waffle she came out in support of giving ILLEGALS licenses. It would appear, despite her claims of being clear on the issues, that she has not been clear on this one. In her latest nuance, Rodham says that issuing licenses to ILLEGALS should depend on the state. She stated that in a state like New York there is a huge security problem and a lot of ILLEGALS but that in other states it might not be a big deal. I guess the idea that it is wrong to reward ILLEGAL activity at all has never crossed her mind.

I know I have indicated that Rodham is a poll driven candidate but it would appear as if she is on the other side of public opinion on this one. About 77% of Americans surveyed [Washington Times] do not favor allowing ILLEGALS to get a driver’s license and yet, depending on when you talk to her, Rodham is for it, against it, for it and against it, or believes it is up to individual states [Breitbart]. Perhaps she is in favor of it because people often register to vote at the same time they get a license (motor voter) and if they do not have to prove they are legal when getting the license they do not have to prove they are eligible to vote. Obviously, it helps Democratic candidates to have a huge number of ILLEGAL voters on the books and Rodham is probably pandering to that large contingency. A huge Hispanic vote cannot hurt her in the election.

Obtaining a driver’s license is a privilege, not a right (though ILLEGALS have few rights under our Constitution) and bestowing a privilege on people who do not deserve it is wrong and counter productive. If the government of any state rewards bad behavior then the result is more bad behavior. By allowing ILLEGALS to get licenses we are telling them that what they did is perfectly OK and that they can continue to break the law. There is a lot of public outrage when ILLEGALS break the law and commit some terrible crime but what should we expect? We do not punish them for their initial bad behavior so they continue to exhibit bad behavior.

This is not to say that there are not millions of hard working, good people in this country who happen to be here ILLEGALLY but the fact is, even the good ones broke the law to get here. Hillary Rodham is fond of blaming this on Bush and saying that this country does not have an immigration policy. She is wrong on both counts. First of all, Ted Kennedy gave us both of the huge amnesties of the past and he promised after the last one that it would never be necessary again because the Congress would fix the problems. Here we are 23 years later and we still have the mess but we have millions more ILLEGALS. Kennedy and the Congress dropped the ball long before George Bush became president. Additionally, Bush tried to give a huge amnesty package that was defeated by the Republicans (and some Democrats) in Congress after the public outcry.

As for the idea that this country does not have an immigration policy, this is plain hogwash. We have plenty of laws concerning entering this country and we have rules that are supposed to be followed. The problem is not that we do not have a policy, the problem is that this country fails to enforce it. Instead of securing the border and stopping the flow of ILLEGALS, our government jails the border patrol agents who are trying to enforce the law while people continue to walk in unabated.

The United States Congress needs to get its head out of its rear end and start enforcing the laws we have and we need to start deporting ILLEGALS we catch. We need to jail those who break the law and we need to hold judges and elected officials responsible for failures in the system. Unfortunately, this issue will not receive the proper attention until an ILLEGAL rapes or murders a politician’s or judge’s wife or daughter or until one of their family members (or the entire family) is wiped out by an ILLEGAL driving a vehicle with or without the license Hillary wants them to have.

As for Rodham, she has bounced this ball back and forth for more than a week and is still unclear as to her position. I imagine it will change a few more times before the primary and she will take a more firm stance against it, should she make it to the general election. Hillary fails to understand that ILLEGAL behavior is wrong and that people should not be rewarded for it.

But, that should not surprise us. She and hubby Bill have been involved in a lot of illegal activity. Their people have also been involved in illegal activity for the benefit of the Clintons. Those people are rewarded for what they do, no matter how wrong it is.

Sandy Berger, anyone [The Hillary Project].

Democrats Spin Failures into Successes - Reward Selves

Oct 27, 2007 Political

The Democrats took control of Congress in January and they planned to put their aggressive agenda into play. They had already promised America that they would be transparent and ethical. Since taking the reigns of power they have been neither transparent nor ethical. They have put billions of dollars of earmarks into legislation and often done so under the cloak of darkness. There are even earmarks for organizations no one can prove exist and those earmarks passed despite concerns that the recipients might not actually be around. The fact that Jack Murtha put in those earmarks should concern everyone as Murtha was caught on video tape trying to take a bribe.

The Democrats said they would go to a 5 day workweek. They have trouble with math because the day starts in the evening on Monday and they are done by noon on Friday. To these people, that is a 5 day workweek. Now the Democrats plan to reward themselves for all the “hard” work they have done by reducing the workweek starting next year. They claim that it is to give them more time in their districts but we all know it is so they can campaign and work to get a bigger control of the Congress. Everything they do is designed to get more votes and greater power. Rangel’s tax scheme is designed to have minimal impact on people making less than $150k (individual) or $200k (couple) because the Democratic base largely falls under those targets. The tax increase is designed to hurt people who generally vote Republican so basically, the tax increase is designed to make Republicans pay for government and social programs and to get more Democrats elected.

Many of the Democrats are justifying the short workweeks scheduled for next year by claiming that they worked really hard this year. Some claim they had to work hard to clean up the messes of 12 years of a Republican majority and some claim that they need to spend more time with their constituents. I want to know how they have not had enough time already. Every time there is a federal holiday they get the entire week off. They take the entire month of August off and they take time off whenever they feel a need to be in their districts or to attend a meeting paid for by some lobbyist. They are a disgrace and can lay little claim to success for this year. Their crowning achievement, to them, is passage of a minimum wage increase. They act as if this was some big deal and they did what they promised but the fact is, they attached this increase to a war funding bill that had nothing to do with a minimum wage increase. They did this because they could not have gotten it passed otherwise.

In reality, the Democrats have been dismal failures this year. But they still thump their chests and claim they did a great job so they want to work fewer days a week next year. They have complaints because they have not gotten a pay raise and they have families at home who they would like to spend time with. Well boo frickin hoo. The members of our military have families from whom they are separated and they do not get a week off for the holidays and they do not get a month off at a time. They do their jobs and they get paid a hell of a lot less than members of Congress, who are overpaid for the work they actually do.

I have an idea. Most people who have real jobs work about 240 days a year (excluding any vacation they might take). How about if Congress has a schedule where they must work 240 days a year to get paid. They can either work 3 weeks a month in DC and spend 1 week each month at home or they can work 4 days a week (days that must add up to at least 40 hours) and spend Friday-Sunday at home. They may also have off the normal federal holidays AND ONLY THOSE HOLIDAYS (not the entire week). Each member must spend 240 days a year working in DC on the job or they do not get paid.

Instead of patting themselves on the back and giving themselves rewards, Democrats should be asking why the approval rating of Congress is near single digits. Perhaps they should be worrying about why they are failing to accomplish anything that they are supposed to do as in approve a budget.

I think if they want to spend more time in their districts we should replace them in the next election so that the job will not be such a burden to them.

Hillary’s Birthday, a Hot Time in California

Oct 22, 2007 Political

Media Mogul David Geffen was once a big time Clinton supporter to the tune of 18 million dollars. In 2005 he stated that Hillary was too polarizing and could not be elected. In February of this year Geffen had some harsh things to say about both Clintons. It would seem that Mr. Geffen is fed up with their games and he has decided to back B. Hussein Obama. Now I will not say that this was a wise choice because, as my friend The Bull points out, Hussein Obama cannot figure out how to render proper respect for our Flag (FWIW Hillary probably learned this when she was raised in a Conservative household).

Geffen is another Liberal but he has a good streak to him and this streak shows the sharp contrast between him and the Hildebeast and is best represented by what took place in the hellish inferno that we call California. Geffen has an inn in Southern California and he has opened it to people who need shelter as well as a bunch of firefighters. He has provided them a place to sleep and is not charging them one red cent.

With the outbreak of fire, Geffen opened the inn to two dozen evacuees for free, as well as to 80 firefighters who slept there in shifts.

“Why be empty? I’d rather it go to good use,” managing director Alan Goldschneider said. “They try to throw down money and their credit cards, but we’re not charging a soul. They’re saving our houses.” al-Reuters

While all of this was going on, while hundreds of thousands of people were affected and losing everything they have and while Liberal medial mogul Geffen was putting up people for free what was Hillary, the compassionate, people person doing? She was at director Rob Reiner’s house celebrating her birthday at a fund raiser the ultra liberal set up in her honor. While people were losing everything, she was raking in a half a million dollars from the liberal elite in Hollywood.

I know there are Hillary supporters who will ask what she was supposed to do and that is a fair question because Hillary did not start the fires and she certainly could not put them out. To Liberals, she is not like George Bush who, in their minds, is able to conjure up a hurricane and then a failure because he cannot swoop in and stop a flood or be there on a moment’s notice to bail out the people who were failed by their liberal state leaders, but I digress. If I were running for the office of President and these same circumstances presented themselves (OK let’s be real, it would have to be a Conservative celebrating my birthday) I would have told everyone that I was flattered that they would come out to support me but that I had a better idea. Instead of donating money to my campaign donate it to the relief efforts for the folks affected by the fire. The I would remind them that while there is a limit on how much they may legally donate to me, there is no limit to how much they could give for that worthy cause.

Then again, that is just me but the whole thing begs the question; Does Hillary care about anyone but herself?

I think it was a no-brainer before and this weekend just made it that much clearer.

I guess Hillary is only compassionate when she is giving away other people’s money for social programs.
