There are not two Americas, there is only one. And you cannot expect to just have everyone hop on the kool-aid train of blind acceptance everytime you pass a policy. There will always be people who oppose policy, who have questions, who ask for answers, but don’t they have the right to – I mean they’re footing the bill.

Are you going to bring a new era of politics where you try to work with both sides as technically promised in exchange for votes last year? My guess is no, but I didn’t believe you the first go around. I had that sixth sense called common sense to look into your historical policy behavior which reeked of partisanship. But to those who you blatantly lied to, are you going to answer their questions or have your rank n’ file brown shirts report them in?

Time to check yourself before you wreck yourself.  Quit acting like a teenage girl who ran up $6,000 in text charges on her parents’ cell bill and demands that her parents don’t have the right to question why she did that. Paaaahleaze!

When I would debate with friends on Facebook I would LOVE to bring up this fact – McCain overwhelmingly paid higher and promoted more women in his campaign than Obama. Yet Obama was praised as this fighter for women’s rights. I didn’t get how this was logical with those facts, but then that’s typical of the liberal thought process. Throw out facts and logic, and BOOM! there’s your argument.

(via CNS News now, but I first read this on The Boston Globe which for some “reason” is no longer available)…

The average pay for the 33 men on Obama’s staff (who earned more than $23,000, the lowest annual salary paid for non-intern employees) was $59,207. The average pay for the 31 women on Obama’s staff who earned more than $23,000 per year was $48,729.91. (The average pay for all 36 male employees on Obama’s staff was $55,962; and the average pay for all 31 female employees was $48,729. The report indicated that Obama had only one paid intern during the period, who was a male.)

 

McCain, an Arizona senator, employed a total of 69 people during the reporting period ending in the fall of 2007, but 23 of them were interns. Of his non-intern employees, 30 were women and 16 were men. After excluding interns, the average pay for the 30 women on McCain’s staff was $59,104.51. The 16 non-intern males in McCain’s office, by comparison, were paid an average of $56,628.83.

Now, couple this with the fact that black women Democrats who supported Hillary Clinton were on several occasions verbally abused by Obama mentors like Emil Jones (DEMOCRAT, State “Corrupt as F*CK” Senator in Illinois). (via NewsBusters)

“Last night, I was called an ‘Uncle Tom’ by Emil Jones in the lobby of the hotel, right in front of [Ald.] Freddrenna Lyle and [Ald.] Leslie Hairston and [Ald.] Latasha Thomas,” said Cobb, a member of Clinton’s Illinois Steering Committee. “I walked over to him and asked him, ‘What did you just call me?’ “

Or how about how those Obama supporters who were found to be displaying their support for empowering women at Hillary’s speeches:

Fast forward a few months after the big day and surprise, surprise. Looks like a leopard doesn’t change its spots after all. Months after the election a certain President didn’t come through on his promises for representing women. To the left, Jon Favreau, Obama’s speechwriter, does his best to epitomize this administration’s lead in supporting objectifying women. And it looks like his main man is keeping that glass ceiling tight after somebody went and let Sarah Palin get through it.

Can somebody say – OOOOPS! (via CNN)

It [Obama's cabinet] might be diverse, but not everyone is happy. Some women’s groups are disappointed. Among Obama’s strongest backers during the election, they now say they don’t have enough seats at the table.

In fact, look at the contradiction of my favorite ill-informed liberal, Kim Gandy, president of NOW. Here’s her on Palin during the election:

Gov. Palin may be the second woman vice-presidential candidate on a major party ticket, but she is not the right woman. Sadly, she is a woman who opposes women’s rights, just like John McCain.

All because Palin is pro-life. Newsflash Gandy: Abortion rights are not the rights of women but the right to life of children. And last time I checked women’s rights are not solely defined by the pro-choice/pro-life debate. But you’re doing greeeeeeeat keeping up that liberal myth to the public.

Now here’s her on Obama after she blindly voted for him in a kool-aid stupor on Nov. 4th:

“When you are looking at a Cabinet and you have such a small number of women in the room when the big decisions are being made, there need to be a lot more women’s voices in this administration.”

Ummm…can we break that down again?

McCain – hires more women than men, promotes more women to more top positions, pays women more than men, encourages our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan where prior to our occupancy those oppressive rulers were celebrating women’s rights with rape rooms and denying them the right to vote, OH! and nominates a woman as his VP choice.

Obama – no track record of the previously stated under McCain, BUT he’s pro expanding abortion until the baby can talk!

Yeah, good one, Kim. Way to have stuck up for women on that one! (rolling eyes)  VoterFAIL!

Can you feel the feminist love yet???  OINK! ONIK!

Man, oh, man the next White House press conference, with the world’s worst Press Secretary, is going to be a gooood one. Heck, I might even just take the day off work and snuggle up on a couch with some popcorn.

One of President Barack Obama’s campaign pledges on taxes went up in puffs of smoke Wednesday. The largest increase in tobacco taxes took effect despite Obama’s promise not to raise taxes of any kind on families earning under $250,000 or individuals under $200,000. This is one tax that disproportionately affects the poor, who are more likely to smoke than the rich.

Well, that’s just the beauty of campaign rhetoric and the parsing of words. I wrote about this back at the beginning of February when the S-CHIP bill passed. Funny how nobody bothers to check out how things are funded in this country. Instead we just look at half the picture, which in Henry Hazlitt’s view is the very definition of being a bad economist.

So this week the expansion of the SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program) was passed by fear tactics of “health care for the kids” from Pelotox herself. And the kicker of it all is that the funding for this $4 billion expansion comes from a huge tax hike on tobacco products.

Just where do Obama & the Liberal-run Congress get these lame-brain ideas of the ol’ bait-and-switch taxing on the very people who vote for you???  Well, you don’t have to look any further than the only President a liberal will cite due to his skewed favorability from WWII (and the fact that most other Democratic presidents were or near failures *cough* Carter, Clinton *cough*) – Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This is very similar to FDR raising taxes on liquor and tobacco to help fund his failing New Deal. Helping out the poor by passing huge taxes on the products used mainly by the lower and middle economic classes. Can you feeeeeeeeeel the brilliance in Keynesian economics? All it creates is a cycle effect in taxes and govt. spending that produces nothing but confusion to cloud people’s perception of the big picture.  It’s the old bait and switch – sell the policy as if you’re about helping the needy and lower economic class and that you’re going to make “the rich” pay their “fair” share in taxes. Oh but then forget to mention when it comes time to craft the actual legislation that the funding is coming by taxing goods & services most used by the lower economic class. 

And just to point out the obvious, guess who didn’t vote for this bill and the following increase in tobacco tax among the middle & lower classes – M-C-C-A-I-N!   Huhhhh - I thought he’s the one who was supposed to raise our taxes???

“You, the public, will have five days to review any bill online and find out what’s in it before I sign it. So that you know what your government is doing.”

So riddle me this Messiah, if the porkulus bill goes up on Friday evening and you sign it into law on Tuesday morning (as proposed), how many full days is that exactly??? Are you telling me that this is NOT the era of Hope n’ Change that many (not including my kool-aid sober self) were led to believe in??? Gaaaaaaaaaaaasp! LOL.

“No more secrecy” my ass. HotAir also calls him out on this for the S-CHIP bill when he forgot about the timeframe for citizen review. But isn’t this the “people’s president,” as I so often heard him referred to as. Luckily, I never bought it – politicians say whatever they’ve got to in order to get your vote. Remember – Always! Be! Closing! Every politician does it – that’s why as voters we need to understand this and review voting records as well as past positions on issues. Not slap on a “Obama is My Homeboy” t-shirt, replay CNN clips 50 times, and drink yourself silly into a voting euphoria with a gallon of Kickin-Kiwi-Lime before going to the voting booth.
