Barack Obama took an unprecedented step today by making the appointment of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Why is this unprecedented? Because the Senate is still in session. The Senate is the body that advises and consents to Presidential appointments and presidents are only allowed to make an appointment when the Senate is in recess and unable to take up the process.

The Senate is in pro forma session. They meet every three days so they are still in session. It is obvious that this is being done to prevent recess appointments and it is not something new. Harry Reid did the exact same thing to prevent George Bush from making recess appointments.

Of course, Reid supports what Obama did because he now views the process as obstructive. Got that? When Democrats do it then it is good but when Republicans do it then it is obstructive.

The morons at the Daily Kos are happy with Obama and support the move. Imagine how they (and Harry Reid) would have reacted had Bush appointed someone during the pro forma sessions held by Democrats. We don’t need to imagine. We know they would have lost their minds and called Bush King George and a dictator. But when messiah Obama does it then it is fine and dandy.

It was reported just yesterday that Obama would not make any appointments during this recess (that is not a recess) but he evidently was persuaded by his handlers to do this.

Obama has engaged in a power grab in order to hurt the country. Obama himself said he did this because Congress refuses to do the things that will hurt the nation:

“I refuse to take ‘No’ for an answer. I’ve said before that I will continue to look for every opportunity to work with Congress to move this country forward. But when Congress refuses to act in a way that hurts our economy and puts people at risk, I have an obligation as president to do what I can without them.” [emphasis mine] USA Today

Obama makes two admissions here. The first is that Cordray will hurt the economy and people and the second is that if Congress refuses to hurt the economy and the people then it is up to Obama to do so.

Obama has been doing things that circumvent Congress since he took office. He continually claims that he wants to work with Congress but if the Congress does not do what he wants then he will look for other ways. This is not how the country works. Our government is supposed to be one of checks and balances and the Constitution spells out how things are done.

Obama has rejected the checks and balances and the Constitution in order to push his agenda. This is the mark of a dictator and Obama has left no doubt that he fits that bill.

He sees himself and his position as being above the rules and the process.

He sees himself above following the Constitution.

And he will end up getting lots of pushback from Congress. This matter will end up in court, it will end up being an issue in the campaign and it will end up biting him in his rear.

The Republicans in Congress need to refuse to do anything for this man from now on. Do not debate legislation, do not take up what he wants, and do not do any of it at all. Tell him that he gets NOTHING.

King Barack Hussein needs a swift kick in his donkey.

And to the liberals, if you think this is OK then you all need to remember that a Democrat will not always occupy the White House. If this stands then a precedent has been set and a Republican president can appoint anyone during any pro forma session and you all will need to STFU about it.

Looks like this appointment runs in opposition to the view of Obama’s own Justice Department…

Cave canem!

The problem with Democrats is that they don’t understand how things work in the world of business. They are too engaged in class warfare to actually tell the truth or to do things that are good for the country. Democrats believe that they should tax the living hell out of the so called rich and while they claim it is because the rich need to pay their fair share the reality is that the Democrats want to create envy among the have nots. Make the middle class believe that the rich are getting over and gain Democrat voters.

The absolute fact that the rich pay most of the income taxes in this country is lost on those who play the class warfare game. The bottom 47% of wage earners pay absolutely NO federal income taxes and many of them actually get money back. They owe no taxes and get a refund while the wealthy foot the bill for the cost of government in this country. The top 53% of wage earners pay the money that runs the country.

Democrats want to tax the people who create jobs. Remember folks, government does not create jobs. It can only create an environment favorable to job creation or one that hinders job creation.

Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader and world class moonbat Democrat has stated that millionaires (the latest group targeted for a tax increase) who produce jobs are like unicorns, they do not exist. He then narrowed it down to some small fraction (two opposing views, either they do NOT exist or they are present in a small percentage).

Both statements are incorrect. Wealthy people create plenty of jobs. In fact, we can shoot down the do not exist argument in one shot. Bill Gates, the late Steve Jobs, and the founders of Google are all extremely wealthy and they all create thousands of jobs. Not only are they creating jobs at their companies but their products create jobs down the line in companies that produce computers and those who install software. These millionaires (plus) have created plenty of jobs so the argument that they do not exist is gone.

But are the millionaires who create jobs a small fraction of the total number of millionaires or are they, as Reid claims, hedge fund managers and rich lawyers (like a lot of members of Congress)?

Paul Roderick Gregory of Forbes puts the Reid claim to the test and it looks like Reid told a whopper.

The number of millionaires who create jobs is significant and way above what Reid claimed. One would think that Reid would have some fact checkers doing some work to ensure he did not make such outrageous claims but that would assume that Reid did not want to make the mistake. He did not care. The truth was not his goal.

His goal was to create another myth and to perpetuate the class warfare that Democrats are known for. He wanted people to believe him.

It is like the myth that Warren Buffett pays less in taxes (as a percentage) than his secretary does and that he wants Congress to fix that because it isn’t right. The man avoids taxes (even while calling for higher rates) and the comparison he makes is invalid.

The whole story is bogus but people, supposedly intelligent people, keep using it to justify taxing the very people who pay the most in taxes (top 10% of earners pay 77% of the taxes).

That was Reid’s goal, spread a lie and have it multiply geometrically so he can continue to whip up class envy.

It is what Democrats do and this will never be different.

It is up to intelligent people to cut through the BS and come up with the truth.

We will never find unicorns but we can easily find millionaires who create jobs.

Reid lied. A truthful Democrat is like a unicorn…

ADDENDUM: While Reid is playing class warfare the wealth of members of Congress has tripled in the last 25 years while the wealth of the average American has decreased. Imagine that, their wealth has increased and they do not create ANY jobs and I don’t doubt they avoid paying higher taxes as well…

The 1900 page Omnibus bill that would fund government for another year has been pulled by Senate Leader Harry Reid. The bill contained over 6000 earmarks (from members of both parties) and the total cost of the bill was 1.3 TRILLION DOLLARS. Reid pulled the bill after several Republicans (in name only) who had earlier supported it, withdrew their support. This is a blow to the Democrats who had hoped to go out with a bang.

This bill has been in the works for nearly half a year. The Congress is supposed to pass a budget and it did not so we are down to the last minute of the game and they are still playing around.

Reid put together a bill that included Republican earmarks requested before the election and added them to the bill. Some Republicans who did not get the message from the last election were working behind the scenes to get the things passed but were silent about them publicly. As the details unfolded some of the Republicans began to get uncomfortable in supporting the HUGE spending bill. Some Democrats in the Senate who will be up for reelection in two years are feeling the same heat.

Anyway, Harry Reid pulled the bill because he knows that he will have a hard time getting support. He is working on a short term extension of government funding to take us into the new year and then the new Congress will work on it. This does not mean that Democrats (and some Republicans) will not be working to lard up anything that makes its way through so they can take home the bacon this Christmas.

We need to be on the lookout and prepared to call them out.

This, so far, is a win. We cannot afford the 1.3 TRILLION DOLLARS the bill spends and we cannot afford to let the people who were voted out of office decide how things will be run when they are gone.

And liberals, if Reid and the Democrats had done this when they were supposed to we would not be discussing it now. This is part of that crisis management that the Dems are known for. Never let one go to waste you know. So they take it to the wire and figure they will hold the country hostage. Surely the Republicans will have to budge when backs are against the wall.

It did not work out like that this time.

And it can only get better in the new Congress…

Cave Canem!

Already Dingy Harry is claiming that everything bad that happens between now and 2014 is the fault of Republicans. Did I call this, or what? Reid is campaigning, right now, November 3, 2012, for Democrat candidates in 2014. And, like any good Democrat, he just throws the lies around.

Reid has “warned” the GOP to stop obstructing, like they have been doing. Of course, that’s a complete lie. I’ve mentioned this one before, but the media never calls him on it. It is a complete and total lie to claim Republicans blocked ANY legislation in the Senate — it was literally impossible. If every single Republican voted against an issue and every Democrat voted for it, it passed. Therefore, the ONLY way there was “obstruction” was if a DEMOCRAT voted against Reid.

But hey, Harry says he wants to work with Republicans, but only if they’re going to agree with him. Well, he said something about “a combined yes,” which actually means, either agree 100% with Harry or he’s going to call you an obstructionist. As I predicted, the Democrat campaign theme for 2014 is already revealed: Republicans are the party of no and to blame for anything bad.

Reid shows his confusion when he claims in one sentence that he’s comfortable with his 53-seat majority, yet says that the ball is in the Republicans’ court. Well which is it, Harry? Are you in charge or Republicans? Oh, wait, I know the answer — when anything liberal is passed, Harry’s in charge. When anything liberal fails to pass, Republicans get all the credit.

Hey, it could be worse — anti-gun king Schumer could be running the place.

This past week I discussed the irregularities at the Nevada polls and how SEIU technicians were responsible for the voting machines. The powers that be assured us that even though the machines were registering more votes than cast, it was nothing to worry about and the results of an inquiry would be made available after the election.

It is after the election and Harry Reid won. Reid picked up 8% to win which is a huge pick-up. He was down by an average of 3% to his opponent and he won by 5%. That 8% swing is unreal and since incumbents who poll under 50% usually do not win, something seems amiss.

Reid and his goons were twisting arms yesterday and had the casino mobsters going over lists of employees who had not voted and instructing bosses to get on those folks and make them vote. One has to wonder what kind of shenanigans took place in this election.

Nevada has the highest unemployment rate in the country even though Harry Reid, by his own account, saved the world from collapse.

It seems he was unable to save Nevada but some mysterious folks in Nevada saved him. Something hinky took place.

Well, like the other relics in Congress, Reid has been around a long time and is pretty advanced in age. Maybe he will join Kennedy and Byrd soon and we can be rid of him.

I bet there are a lot of Democrats right now who wish they had ignored Reid, Pelosi and Obama.

I also wish I owned a moving company in DC. Looks like a lot of people will be packing up and moving after the TEANAMI in the House last night.

As an aside, Kith Olbermann was railing about Tea Party candidates and saying that Palin’s picks did not do so well (he is intimidated by women, especially strong ones). He failed to mention how many people Obama campaigned for, and on more than one occasion, lost last night. Those Obama went to help did not fair so well. MSNBC, Lean Forward and take it like a man…

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Harry Reid is in the fight of his political career and it is very likely that he will be beaten by a virtual unknown who had the backing of the Tea Party. Reid is a powerful Senator and his ouster would be a huge slap to Democrats. Obama and other Democrat leaders (including Bubba Clinton) have been campaigning for Reid in a last ditch effort to keep him in DC. The White House needs to keep its sock puppet in place.

It is no surprise that Reid will say or do anything to defeat Sharron Angle. He has distorted her words, lied about her record and lied about her platform. He painted her as out of touch and radical and that was sticking until they debated. Then the people of Nevada saw a person who held her own and answered most of the questions. Reid bumbled and was, at times, incoherent.

The race is coming down to the wire and Reid is pulling out all the stops. Obama will be back there this weekend to whip up support. Reid is so desperate he has taken credit for saving us from a depression. One can argue whether the financial system was at the point of depression or whether it was painted that way for political purposes but one thing is certain, if we were near depression Reid did not save us. But he said he did:

Harry said; “…but for me we’d be in a world-wide depression.” Yes, Harry Reid saved the world and no one gives him credit because things are so bad right now.

What is it with these Democrats and their messianic complexes? Obama was the next coming of Christ who was sent here by G-d to save us and Obama himself told us how he would recede the oceans and save the planet. He was compared to Christ in Congress and he was compared to a prophet by the Nation of Islam.

Now Harry Reid is Superman who saved the WORLD from a depression. “Disguised as a mild mannered Senator from Searchlight, he fights a never ending battle to tell the truth…” These Democrats seem to have higher opinions of themselves than they actually deserve and while it is not unusual for politicians to inflate their records, I think Reid has gone way beyond exaggeration…

It is obvious Reid is grasping at straws and saying anything in order to get reelected but claiming to have saved us from a depression is a total lie.

Nevada voters, on the other hand, can save us from being depressed by voting this weasel out of office.

Big Dog salute to Breitbart TV.

Cave Canem!

Harry Reid is in the fight of his political career because it looks, more and more each day, like Sharron Angle will defeat him on November 2^nd. Reid has tried every dirty trick in the book to keep from being defeated but Angle cleaned his clock in their debate and now has a 50-47% lead just two weeks before the big day. Reid has had some visits from Obama and Bill Clinton to try and scare up votes but it does not seem to be working.

Reid is so desperate to rationalize his support of the Obama agenda that he compared Barack Obama to the Chilean miners who endured 69 horrible days trapped underground. Explaining the hole Obama found himself in, Reid states:

“It was like the Chilean miners, but he, being the man he is, rolled up his sleeves and said ‘I am going to get us out of this hole,’” Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said in Las Vegas on Sunday. Real Clear Politics

So Obama was like the men buried nearly a half mile below the surface of the Earth and heroically dug his way out.

If Obama was in a deep hole we could throw a rock on top and go home.

Problem solved.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Harry Reid and Joe Biden are the gifts that keep on giving. Each is a gaffe machine and each passing day reminds us that both of them suffered brain damage in the past. Within the last few days Joe Biden, who Obama cannot stand, said that he was second in line for the presidency. Astute readers will note that Biden is first in line with regard to presidential succession. Joe is first in line and Nancy Pelosi is second. Yea, the man who once proclaimed he was the smartest man in the Senate is a moron.

Harry Reid must have decided that he could not let his old buddy Biden demonstrate more brain damage so Reid decided to make a sexually suggestive comment about Kirsten Gillibrand, junior Senator from New York.

The Nevada Democrat referred to New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand “the hottest member,” which apparently made Gillibrand blush, according to two Democratic sources familiar with the incident. CNN

It is true that Gillibrand recently came in third in The Hill’s 50 most beautiful people in Washington list but I fail to see where she was named hottest and I fail to see how Reid making the comment (which actually dealt with how the men in the Senate refer to her) is not an instance of sexual harassment. In order for there to be a problem the person about whom it was said must have a problem or it must create an uncomfortable workplace environment. Though Gillibrand played it off, there is no way that this is not inappropriate.

Reid and Biden are the heart and soul of the Democrats and each day they demonstrate how liberalism is a mental disorder.

They are both mentally deficient and should not be allowed out in public without safety headgear.

Folks in Nevada, now is your chance to get rid of Reid. Do it and put us out of our misery.

Cave Canem!

It is no secret that those who believe in man made global warming and who carry the banner fail to live the life they expect of the rest of us to live. Al Gore travels all over in jets using tons of fuel and his house uses enough electricity to power a small village. Many elected officials who ride the global warming bandwagon travel in not so fuel efficient vehicles.

Harry Reid, the soon to be ex Senator from Nevada, attended a green event last week and he showed up in a caravan of SUVs. One person who attended thinks that if he were really concerned with global warming he would have used fuel efficient vehicles or hybrids. But that is not the half of it. The event was only 100 yards away.

“I was absolutely astonished, not to mention appalled, that Harry Reid would retain a fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs so that he and a few aides would not have to walk the mere 100 yards to address environmental activists,” said Heartland Institute Senior Fellow James M. Taylor, who took the attached photo. “If greenhouse gas emissions are such a problem, you would think Reid might have actually made the short stroll through the parking lot, or at least retain Priuses rather than large SUVs for the summit,” said Taylor. Detroit News

This is another example of the do as I say, not as I do mentality of the liberal establishment.

Harry Reid is a mental midget. How stupid does he have to be to pull such a stunt when he is in a close race for his job?

Then again, he probably thinks he is a shoo in. After all, it’s his seat.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Rory Reid, SON OF SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID, has stopped using his last name in his campaign ads and on his website. Rory REID is running to be governor of Nevada and has apparently discovered that HIS FATHER is not too popular. Harry REID has approval ratings that are extremely low and is running behind a TEA PArty nominee in the latest polls. There is little belief that Harry REID will win reelection and evidently his son believes the name recognition could spell trouble for him.

In an ad that abuses children, Rory REID’s last name is not present. It is now all about Rory for governor. The ad itself is despicable enough because children are used as props (no doubt the children of teacher’s union members) to push some notion that it is all about the children and that Rory cares (Rory REID, that is). The ad has children telling adults how they should go about selecting the next governor and doing it with ideas that children their ages do not think about. But hey, it is all for the children who obviously know nothing about Rory REID because they describe “highest ethical standards” (as if they would know), something not generally associated with the REID political family.

Rory REID has also removed his name from his website (though you can find it if you look around). The url used to be roryreid.com but that redirects to rory2010.com. If you hit the stop button quickly enough you can see the old url just before it redirects (sorry, no links to the moron. You will have to type it in to see).

Rory REID (son of politician Harry REID) is so embarrassed by his father that he has removed the family name in order to deceive voters. Funny, he did not mind using it when he thought it would help.

There is one problem though. Rory REID’s last name will need to be on the ballot when it is time to vote and it will be on the ballot with his father.

Yes, you progressive morons can run but you cannot hide.

People in Nevada, you do not need another REID in government. They are a bunch of corrupt, self-serving morons who are out for themselves only.

Get rid of Harry REID and keep his disgusting offspring from ever being elected.

You will be much better for it.

UPDATE: Rory REID down by more than 20 points
