Two-Party “Super” Con

If you believed for one minute the “Super Committee” would succeed in compromising and acting in the best interest of “We the People”, then you’re an idiot! That’s right –an idiot! The Special Joint Committee, composed of six Democrats and six Republicans was set-up to fail from jump-start. The failure of the committee benefits both parties politically by letting each side save “face” with their parties and constituents; what’s more, it gives both sides ammunition for the up-coming 2012 election. After news of the committee’s failure hit the media, it took all of five minutes for Democrats and Republicans to start the proverbial finger-pointing.
Early this week, “… co-chairs of the bipartisan special joint committee said in a statement that “after months of hard work and intense deliberations, we have come to the conclusion today that it will not be possible to make any bipartisan agreement available to the public before the committee’s deadline” (Ted Barrett, Kate Bolduan and Deirdre Walsh, CNN, 2011.p1.para.4).
Hard work –are they kidding? Sending e-mail back and forth holding your breath via emoticons is not working hard! Furthermore, there is not a bipartisan bone in the committee’s body. All took a stand before taking the job –Republicans demand entitlement and tax reform, while Democrats demand military cuts and higher taxes for the rich.
The “breaking” news was not surprising to most Americans. Now, if the committee would have succeeded, that would have been a surprise. Whether on the side of Democrats, Republicans, or Liberals, “The People” invested little faith in this two-party “super” con. Why would they? Congress had already caused America’s credit downgrade by acting like unreasonable children, with a “do it my way” or “hit the highway” attitude.
Van Hollen, a Democrat from Maryland and Pelosi pet, had this to say about the committee’s failure: “Many will portray this failure as the inevitable consequence of two partisan sides refusing to give ground…suggesting blame should lie with Republicans” (FoxNews.com, 2011.para.19). Partisan? That’s not the word we are using Mr. Van Hollen!
Thoroughly disgusted with the committee’s failure, Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee ranted to the press: “On its current course the federal government is projected to spend almost $44 trillion over the next 10 years, and it is nothing short of an embarrassment, an absolute national disgrace and failure of leadership that we cannot agree on even a paltry $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction over that time frame” (Ted Barrett, Kate Bolduan and Deirdre Walsh, CNN, 2011p.2.para.2). Lack of leadership and embarrassing is an understatement Mr. Corker! The committee’s failure is a threat to America’s national security by cutting $600 billion from the Department of Defense.
If $600 billion is cut from defense, the first department to suffer will be Veteran services; what’s more, soldiers on the front line will NOT be properly equipped to protect themselves and this country. Fathom this: soldiers without life-saving helmets; short supplies of ammunition; production of War Ships and Army tanks halted; massive drops in recruitment; Heroes blowing their brains out because they received inapt mental health services for PTSD; a growth in homeless veterans; and finally, World War 3 breaks out and America has no money or troops to defend ourselves. Not pretty –is it? Solution: cut $1.2 trillion from our ever-growing, inapt, meddling government, and quit giving aid to China! Leave the Military alone! Remember 9/11 Jackasses?
However, not all in Congress are complete idiots (though trace amounts are present).
“Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., issued a statement about the mandatory cuts to defense, calling the sequester of $600 billion in defense spending a “threat to the national security interests of the United States and cannot be allowed to occur” (FoxNews.com, 2011.para.8).
A former prisoner of war, McCain has a special understanding about how the $600 billion cut to defense will affect military missions and rescues, and just how important proper training and equipment are to a soldier. The United States Military should be funded in front of any other program or department –government or social. We are living in times of 9/11, Nukes, and Martyr extremists –do we really want to be caught unprepared? Do we want our soldiers (someone’s child) going into a gunfight armed only with a knife?
President Obama, who has been absent during the committee’s effort for compromise, is the con of all cons; he put in place a political strategy via automatically triggered $1.2 trillion in tax hikes and military cuts –while limiting cuts on entitlements. Obama knew this committee would not succeed –the battle over the debt ceiling, entitlement reform, tax reform, and Obama Care proved no bipartisanship exists in Congress.
“President Obama said he would veto any effort by lawmakers to repeal a requirement for $1 trillion in automatic spending cuts to be triggered after the Super Committee failed to agree on terms to save the country $1.2 trillion over a 10-year span” (FoxNews.com, 2011.para.1).
“If we don’t act, taxes will go up for every single American, starting next year. And I’m not about to let that happen,” Obama said Monday” (Sam Rolley, 2011.para.4).
Now that’s rich! Obama doesn’t want taxes to go up? Oh, that’s right –he only wants the “rich” to pay “their fair share”. The problem with this concept is, rich is a matter of perception; a poor man’s rich is different from that of a wealthy man’s rich. Additionally, one that smells of money may very well have rubbed on advertisement cologne. A person with an annual income of $1 million for example, might have $990,000 or more in bills and taxes, leaving less than $10,000 a year to live on –that’s not rich; that’s a “rich man’s poor”. Who defines rich? When it comes to taxes –the President and acting Congress, that’s who! Given the judgment used in spending tax money thus far, can Americans trust Washington?
This “Super” con was nothing more than a drain on taxpayer dollars and a waste of time –which is par for the course in the current administration. With the American economy in extreme peril and a plethora of people out of work, Americans are fed up with both sides –Americans need effective leadership! A people without proper leadership will wonder aimlessly to their certain destruction.

Lynching Cain
Image via Wikipedia
Obama sympathizer Politico has wrapped a noose around the neck of Presidential hopeful Herman Cain, and Democrats along with left-wing media are pulling up the slack in efforts to choke the life out of Cain’s campaign. Politico smeared Cain’s reputation via two 1996 claims of sexual harassment by former employees –one of the two accusers was reported to have been paid $35,000 in “hush” money. First and foremost, American voters must ask: Why is this 1996 skeleton being ejected from its closet? It appears to be linked to rising support of Cain and his 999 economic plans –proving there are worries he could win the Republican nomination and defeat Obama. However, since the story broke Cain backers have showered him with support via campaign contributions of over $300,000.
Let’s first analyze what sexual harassment means and the thin line between a compliment and sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a matter of perception –period. What constitutes as harassment to one may be a compliment to another. If an employer/employee says “you look good today, that dress brings out the color of your eyes”, it could be taken as a compliment; however, the up-tight worker in the next cubical may perceive this as sexual harassment. Additionally, there are many documented cases of employees making false allegations against an authority figure simply because they are disgruntled. How can we be sure this is not the case in the Herman Cain incident? It is definitely a fact to consider before passing judgment upon Cain –leaving him to swing by Politico’s gallows.
Furthermore, the timing of this smear campaign against Cain is suspicious to say the least. It is obvious this attempt to ruin the reputation of Herman Cain was perpetrated out of the fear that Obama’s end is near; in addition too, a political/Politico gain. It was not until Cain soared to the top of the polls that fear-filled Obama sympathizers took drastic measures to extract this skeleton from Cain’s closet of the past. And, although Cain may have made some “rookie mistakes” while confronting these allegations, the fact remains he is confronting them –unlike the lying Bill Clinton when confronted with his cad-like behavior. This smear tactic depicts a frightened, insecure, unethical Democratic Party willing to go to any length to win –even at the peril of the American people and another’s reputation and marriage. As an American voter, I am personally tired of this type of behavior from all parties; what’s more, I ask those who are perfect to step forward and prove your excellence –because there is no such human.
Moronic Ignorance Times Three

It’s painfully obvious that Vice President Biden’s foot-in-mouth disease is contagious and Obama and Carney are infected. After controversy erupted over VP Biden’s ridiculous metaphor about rape and murder to support President Obama’s jobs bill, Jay Carney sticks one foot in his mouth and the other in Obama’s via support of the VP’s rape and murder “wish” on opponents. The three moronic idiots contend that if the President’s Jobs Bill is rejected rape and murder rates will rise and the fault will rest on opponents, and Biden goes as far as to “wish” the feeling of victimization upon those opposed –which is barbaric and heartless to say the least. If Obama would have given the $500,000 plus to law enforcement agencies instead of Solyndra, Americans would be safer –it would have obviously been a wiser investment. Therefore, if this moronic ignorance holds true the fault is with the current administration, not with opponents of another failed Obama Bill. Obama’s stimulus efforts have been supported by opponents in the past, and the money was spent frivolously.
Despite the scare tactics used by this moronic threesome, this bill will not be passed. Additionally, instead of securing a 2012 Obama re-election, these elected idiots is securing him a one-term presidency. “We the People” are tired of the kind of change this administration has brought to this Great Country and the polls are proving that; downgraded credit rating, recession, healthcare mandates (Obama Care), bad investments that yield no return, bailouts, scare tactics, lack of immigration control, record unemployment, and blame games. If anyone is at fault for the rise in rape, murder, and robbery, it would be the current White House occupants that do not spend tax money with vigilant wit.
No one is to blame for criminals actions except that offender –period! I am tired of the lack of personal responsibility that seems to be contagious as well. We are each responsible for our own actions people, and anyone who says different is not only ignorant but an enabler. And, Mr. President I am holding you responsible for yours when I visit the voting booth in 2012; furthermore, when you go –take VP Biden and Jay Carney with you, because I have no use for your collective behaviors and bullying! Better recruit Acorn to buy you some votes for 2012 too, because that will be the only way you will get re-elected Mr. President. We do want change –a change in administration!
P.S. You might want to gather your two cronies and take Air Force One for one more spin on the taxpayers –it may be your last chance!
