Business As Usual, Surprise, Surprise!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 3:58:43 PM
Voters are very disappointed in Congress, whose "approval rating" has dropped to a paltry 9%. There are many good reasons for this: "Since the Democrats' taking control of Congress, housing starts have stopped and existing sales slumped, the national debt, which only Congress can control, has blossomed, the dollar has declined sharply on international markets, unemployment has risen by close to 50 percent from its previous level, which was in the "statistical grass" and the lowest in recent history and fuel prices have skyrocketed." [Emphasis mine. -RT] Before the Democrats took control in Congress we were doing pretty well. Not the greatest, since the liberals in Congress have consistently obstructed every effort the president made to do away with our dependence on foreign oil, sold grudgingly to us by our enemies. The president's numbers consequently aren't much better. Holding steady at 32%--almost THREE TIMES that of Congress. But nobody's interested in that. Every time Bush's ratings go down by a quarter percent, it's front-page news. But Congressional approval numbers "just aren't news," according to the liberal media. I wonder why . . . Kiplinger even tried to convince us that, while the president's ratings are all-important, Congressional ratings tanking, aren't. (Sun-Sentinel)

What Happened to William Jefferson of New Orleans?

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 3:52:39 PM
For a while there, I thought something that doesn't often happen would come to pass: a DEMOCRAT in Congress would be indicted, tried, and punished for corruption. It hasn't happened, at least, according to the liberal media. Strange; I haven't heard his name even mentioned recently. Meanwhile, they're off on another witch-hunt, this time in Alaska, where they "bagged" a REPUBLICAN Senator, Tom Stephens. "WASHINGTON - Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator and a figure in Alaska politics since before statehood, was indicted Tuesday on seven counts of failing to disclose thousands of dollars in services he received from a company that helped renovate his home." They've been dogging him for years, and they finally "got him." It's "big news.: The biggest. Not like when they found close to $100,000 in cash in Jefferson's refrigerator. The "silence" was "golden." Sure, there was a press blip for a while, but it "petered out" soon, and I haven't heard his name since, except on the Rush Limbaugh show. When he was indicted on 16 corruption charges, he tried to convince the world that the $900,000 was "FBI money," given to him to give to the Nigerian vice-president, which he did not do (for so far undisclosed reasons). As far as I know this case has never been finished, and they didn't identify him as a Democrat.(News Busters)

Gettin' to Be a Habit

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 3:47:19 PM
I know it has been going on before the Border Control put two of its members in prison for ten years for doing their jobs, but it wasn't then until I noticed the trend today to "criminalize" people who put their lives on the line to enforce our laws and defend us. Col. Jeffery Chessani, who was in charge in the "Haditha affair," was found "not guilty," as were several of his men in a situation where the enemy is KNOWN to "set up" soldiers to "appear" to target civilians and kill them. But the government is not satisfied. They need a "scapegoat" to shut Murtha up, so they have appealed his clearing, forcing him to continue to fight for himself, rather than his country. Elsewhere, they put a good cop in jail for killing a fleeing felon who had a gun in his hand the last time he saw him, as he was fleeing the scene of a crime. I'm beginning to believe that SOMEONE, somewhere, who has a lot of "juice," wants to demoralize people who are "protecting us" so they won't do their jobs to the best of their ability. I'm sure Border Patrol officers are. (Police Defense Organization/Robert Lawlor)

Obamaisms

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Monday, July 28, 2008 8:15:43 AM
Liberals gleefully published a collected list of Bush's gaffes, mispronunciations and misuse of words, called "Bushisms. Turnabout is fair play, so now the Investor's Business Daily has published a list of Obamaisms, a lot longer than the abbreviated one that was published about Bush. Among them was his claim to have been in "57 states," with "one to go," showing a complete lack of knowledge of geography (seems a president ought to know how many states are in his country). I also notice that they were "gleeful" about Republican Dan Quayle's misspelling of "potato" (that was prompted by the card they gave him that was misspelled). But how many of these "Obamaisms" have you heard about in the liberal media? Frankly, the only way you will have known about them is if you get some of your news from the "alternative media" where they don't have a double standard. (Investor's Business Daily)

Why The Hell Do We Need the Government?

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Monday, July 28, 2008 8:11:54 AM
Tim O'Neill wants the government to "rally the nation" to find a way to reduce dependence on foreign sources of oil. Isn't the "market" already doing that? Aren't people in private enterprise working day and night to do so? What the hell do we need the government for in this? If we let the market do its work, the problem will be solved. If we let the government interfere, they'll likely make it worse. (USA Today Blog)
