Jobs Bill

[Scott Brown]

I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families. This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I voted for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work.

I was disappointed with the continuation of politics-as-usual in the drafting of this bill, as it was crafted behind closed doors, without transparency and accountability. I hope for improvements in that process going forward. All of us, Republicans and Democrats, have to work together to get our economy back on track. I hope my vote today is a strong step toward restoring bipartisanship in Washington.

Great news?

See if you can identify a typical "psy-ops" troll on this site. They use Bizzarro logic and strategy to disrupt discussion.

Colonel Mustard - Getting pretty creepy.

William Flynn - He's new in Washington but he's not new to the game. He voted for a second round of something that did not work and has not even been fully spent. Brown took the temperature of the people, capitalized on it and promptly went back to business as usual. No doubt we will see this more than once but we should learn from it and not excuse it. There is no time for "on the job" training when spending other peoples money.

Thought of the day: I'm not sure if Grandpa is my dad. I think he is. The coincidences are too strange and the ironies too.....ironic?

Here are the facts: in order for Grandpa to attract people to his paranoid and small-man's complex blog - politicaltruth.ning.com - he must post on here, sounding somewhat intelligent and not like he has a chip on his shoulder. Last week, under the name CJ Brandser, I asked Grandpa a question, only to have him dissmantle my answer on politicaltruth, line by line, calling CJ a liberal troll, and pointing out how utterly stupid I am and how smart he is. Little did he know it was HIS SON, who was asking the question.

I confront him the next day. He denies it. Our family has had 4 days of true hell, I almost go to the hospital because they all think I'm going crazy. And my father continues to deny he has anything to do with the posts under Grandpa.

Meanwhile, Grandpa (if he is indeed my father) denies it, keeps on posting and keeps on leading discussions on his site, knowing I, his son, is completely baffled as to what he believes and what he thinks he believes. Again, they're telling me I need to go to the hospital, talk to a psychiatrist and get some medication to rest.

If, in fact, Grandpa is my father (and I think he is) - HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?

[Colonel Mustard]

Last post of the day: Grandpa won't be posting much tomorrow as he'll be driving to California. Maybe early. Maybe mid-day, if he can find a wireless coffee shop or something. Then tomorrow night.

[Colonel Mustard]

Grandpa, can you post any good pictures of your town there?

[Colonel Mustard]

Wow, Grandpa is one extraordinarily stubborn man. This is a guy who could be caught with a bloody knife in one hand and a severed head in the other and he'd insist he was just out getting a pack of cigarettes.

Healthcare Reform. Is Barac Obama fulfilling a promise to Unions and George Soros?

If you are wondering why is Obama continuing to drive forward on Healthcare reform, pursue government takeover of healthcare, and defy the wishes of the majority of Americans? Allow me to provide you some information to possibly connect the dots.

According to latest Rasmussen polling data 53% of Americans are strongly opposed to Obamas plan.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_eve...

Yet despite that information he continues to drive forward, seeming to ignore the will of the people. At the same time he continues to drive down his own poll numbers. Each day he supports this policy his approval rating continues to drop.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_admin...

Why? Well the answer might be a little less obvious than you would expect. It all connects to how he got into office during the election and the massive IOU that he was left with. Organized labor was instrumental in the primary win for Obama over Hillary Clinton. Without the union support and organizing literally thousands and thousands of "volunteers" (well, paid volunteers) he would never have been able to defeat Hillary and Bill Clinton. This was called the most carefully orchestrated, destructive effort, ever in a political primary, Obama used MoveOn, SEIU, and ACORN members to pummel the Clinton campaign. But, these organizations knew what they would stand to gain. George Soros funneled millions into MoveOn, the democrats funneled millions into ACORN, and the unions spearheaded by SEIU (Service Employees International Union) did the rest. Without going into unnecessary details, let me just say that after Obama won the election he owed these people BIG TIME! How could he pay them back?.

Well you know what happened to ACORN with the expose'. But, you might not know recent events. Despite public outcry and congress suspending their funding, the current Obama budget has $3 billion, Yes, THREE BILLION in it for ACORN. Also, yesterday the New York district attorney office announced they would not be filing criminal charges against the ACORN members from the expose'. "Federal" State Attorney General Eric Holder had considerable influence in that outcome. Who appointed Holder? (and supports him even with the decision to proceed with terrorist trials in civilian courts) Ok, well the next one is even more disturbing.

What about MoveOn? Well that one was much easier, billionaire George Soros funded that organization personally, so the only thing that Obama had to do was something to pay him back (or create) the $100 million or so that he funded. So on January 29th 2010, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil. The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and NOT THE USA ! Now here’s the real clincher…the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil”. We have absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever!..... Wait, it gets more interesting....Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this? Yep, you guessed it, George Soros.

Last, but by no means least, what about SEIU? Well, on this one, the union president, and personal friend of Obama, Andy Stern already had a plan for the quid-pro-quo. Andy quickly became the most frequent visitor to the White House as soon as Michelle and Barac moved in.
http://www.nlpc.org/stories/2009/11/18/seiu-president-andrew-stern-...

Andy's union was in big trouble. Had been for quite some time. It seems those big, hefty, union pension payments were in trouble. Stern could see the writing on the wall. Many unions are in the same predicament. Their pension funds are not significant enough to keep up with the payments and benefits to members. What is the biggest drain on the pensions and the membership funds? Yep, the same for all Americans in the non-union sector. Rising Healthcare costs.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203946904574300113800... (union pensions in big trouble)

Andy had already established a plan. He made healthcare reform a top priority. Not out of some altruistic goal to benefit his membership. But, purely as a financial plan to save his business. After all, unions are just businesses that exist within corporate businesses, kind of like the tick on a butchers dog. When business is good, the dog gets fat, the tick engorges itself with huge demands and gives generous benefits via contract negotiations to its members. Andy knew that the "healthcare commitment" already promised to the members is a huge financial liability and they may not be able to keep it. The butchers dog is losing weight.
http://www.seiu.org/a/mediakit/andy-stern.php (Andy Stern makes healthcare reform a top union priority)

Stern had a vested interest in Obama winning election and then developing the Healthcare reform legislation. Stern wasn't just willing to trust Obama's promises. After all, Obama is a Chicago style politician. Similar to the mafia, Obama could turn on Stern, or "cave in" to public opinion once he took office. He couldn't risk that. So Stern kept up the pressure, kept up the visits, and positioned himself as an insider. It is safer to guard your agenda that way. In addition you can "mold" and manipulate the policy or bill to your benefit. And what happens if the bill looks like it is going to tax your team?
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/unions_get_pecial_treatment_i...

Stern isn't stupid. He sees how unpopular the healthcare reform is. So he has to keep pumping up Obama and supporting his efforts. Consider that if healthcare reform fails, Andy's union will become financially insolvent. What is a major point of opposition to the reform? THE RISING DEFICIT. So how are two friends going to address the potential deficit issue and at the same time construct healthcare reform? Hey, Chicago style please... So taking care of his friend, and keeping him close, Obama actually appoints Stern to the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.

Obama can shape the policy and strong arm the support (big twists) with Nancy, and Andy can keep the smoke and mirrors routine with the budget commission until the plan is finished.

So now you know. Obamacare may be, in part, just a BIG election payback under the smokescreen of presidential altruism. Chicago style politics on the backs of the American people. You decide.

[Grandpa]

Obama buys Health Care Vote with judicial appointment. Yep, see link below. Typical "Chicago Style" politics. Unbelievable. This type of leverage just proves how bad this legislation is. The only way they can get support is to "buy" or "bribe" votes from their own party.

ps. Trolls don't bother. These are facts, they are evidenced, they are not in dispute. Just bringing the LIGHT to the subject.

Radical left wing progressives are also trying to recruit them before college. This is going on in high schools. This should be concerning to everyone.
