Hillary’s elitism and selfishness finally aligns…

I don’t often agree with Hillary, but her tenacity to buck the Democratic Party line, and let all the states have a choice on the ballot, is where we share common ground. “Conventional Wisdom” (read party hacks and elitist pundits) want this process pulled away from the people. You see, the people are the problem to them, and can only “mess” up their plans for the general election.

The two Party System is broken because they no longer care about the rank and file, or America. They care about themselves and their power; period. So I say, keep going Hillary. For once your selfishness and elitism is aligned with the electorates need to be heard. Just a thought…

The Government will now buy homes for the "poor"…

It was announced today that the government will pay for new homes for the poor. If you make less than $35,000 a year are a family of 4 or more, you will be able to choose a home with a value up to $650,000. The government will deduct an additional $600 a month from everyone’s paycheck making over $35,000 to pay for the program.

Hillary Clinton was asked about the program, and she said she liked it on the surface but was concerned that the $650,000 limit may not be high enough for some areas of the country. She proposed a $1,000,000 limit for California and some parts of the East Coast.

In the same announcement the government is requiring all employers to pay a minimum wage of $27.00 per hour to help increase the amount of taxes they can collect for the new programs being introduced. The increase in the minimum wage is expected to eliminate all Americans from poverty.

When the franchise owner of McDonalds was asked how this was going to impact the price of a Big Mac, he was quoted as saying; “it will go from $2.49 to $8.49 but will include an apple pie for desert.”

This is what liberal politicians would love to do, but why can’t they? Why can’t Hillary and Obama just pass a law that healthcare will be free to all Americans? Why can’t the government just raise wages and expect everything to get better? It’s called the market.

Anyone that has ever spent ten seconds in an Economics class knows the law of supply and demand. When the price goes down, demand goes up but what about supply? Supply is driven by demand but also the ability to make profit. If you limit profit with price controls, no one will produce the product. So even though you raised the wages of workers, increasing the supply of money, you will have to increase the cost of goods to pay the wages or their will be no profit for making Big Macs. The supply will go away and the job will follow if you limit the price a producer of Big Macs can charge.

There are many principles at work but if you were given a house with a value up to $1,000,000, if you made less than $35,000 and had 2 children, is your incentive to make more than 35K or less than 35K? Is your incentive to have no children or 2 children? Controlling the market has consequences.

So why is it different with healthcare? It isn’t. If you make healthcare available to everyone through tax payer subsidies, demand will increase. If you force providers to treat everyone, at a mandated price, providers will limit supply. If you force them to increase supply you will harm quality. In the end no one will become a doctor or nurse unless of course you are forced to do it. Is that freedom?

Hillary has never held a job in the private sector beyond a short unsuccessful stint as a lawyer. She believes she knows better because she believes she has good intentions. We all have good intentions but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just ask the Russians, Chinese, and Cubans. Let’s ask the government to get out of our lives, not become further entrenched in our lives. I know Hillary is not very intelligent, but are you? Do you trust the market or Hillary?

Clinton politics; do we want more of this?

This NY Times story received very little play but it is indicative of the corrupt dealings of the Clinton’s. It is a story about power, influence, and money, the only place the Clinton’s have experience and thrive. They are dirty, corrupt, and will do anything to build personal power.

If Hillary is elected we can expect her to support dictator thugs and corrupt business partners around the world. They are two of the most dangerous people in this country, and that is an understatement. All of this corruption to help build a library that will gloss over the most dishonest politician in America.

Why was this story not discussed? Why is Barrack not asking about it? Why are none of the GOP candidates highlighting this corruption? Probably because there have been so many of these stories that people tune them out. When people start disappearing like they do in China and Russia, maybe people will wake up. A bit over the top, maybe. But if you let this kind of corruption go on; what does it say about us as a people? What does it tell our children about our values? When will we get some people in office that actually share our values? I am afraid; never…

All you need to know about McCain…

The NY Times has endorsed Hillary Clinton and John McCain for president. Neither is a surprise but if you are a republican or conservative, there is no greater warning sign. It is a warning that if the NYT’s likes McCain, there can only be two reasons; they think he can be beat, or they believe he is the least conservative candidate. I am thinking it is the first reason.

I don’t understand how he is in the game at this point. He is being propped up by the liberal media and so far by independent voters. If he wins in Florida it will just be further validation that the Republican Party is no longer a home for conservatives. It will be time to form a new party for the former Reagan coalition.

So instead of this endorsement being a feather in McCain’s cap, it should be the only sign conservatives need to run for the hills from his campaign. Just a thought…

Hillary wants government to ruin; I mean run the economy…

This is a quote from a NYT's article, and all you need to hear from Hillary to know we can’t have a democrat in charge with a democratic congress; Hillary will “address what she called excesses in the market”. What does she know about the markets? She hasn’t worked a real day at a real job in 30 years!

Here is another “brilliant” economic observation from Hillary; “She said that economic excesses — including executive-pay packages she characterized as often “offensive” and “wrong” and a tax code that had become “so far out of whack” in favoring the wealthy — were holding down middle-class living standards.” The unfortunate thing is too many people will agree with this dribble. Just because you think it sounds good, it doesn’t make it good.

She added: “I want to get back to the appropriate balance of power between government and the market.” Balance of power with the market? Who made her Queen and what balance of power is she citing in the constitution?

This is scary stuff folks. The markets are listening to this and they will react if she has a shot at winning; negatively. If you have a 401K or any retirement fund you should think really hard about what the democrats and some republicans are saying. The only one that could pass an economics test is Mitt Romney.

On a more interesting note: The NY Giants dominated in Green Bay and the New England Patriots did what they had to do to win. The Super Bowl will be a great game for me; former NYG fan and season ticket holder, and living 15 years in New England rooting for the patriots. I just wonder what everyone else west of NJ is going to be doing Super Bowl Sunday!!!

Prediction: NYG 21 NE Patriots 28

Hillary falling apart? Crocodile tears? The female card? You be the judge...

A video of Hillary crying because she may lose. Hmmm!

In my opinion this is her lat attempt to hang on to her thrown. Is she crying for you or is she crying because she doesn’t want to lose? Is this the person you want fighting the terrorists trying to kill us? She is playing the female card; nothing else. All females should be concerned about how this could represent the "strongest" and "smartest" woman in America??? If all else fails, cry because it makes people feel sorry for you. No wonder the rest of the world wants her in charge. Very telling...

Do We Want Bill In The White House Again?

You really have to ask yourself the question; do we need Bill Clinton back in the White House? I have had many a conversation with my children explaining the bad behavior of Bill Clinton, and why character matters in a leader. Charisma is not enough; it is the character of a person that makes a great leader.

The times were different when Bill occupied the White House in the 90’s. We were in the internet revolution, and few were paying attention to the world around us; especially Bill. He ignored the threat of terror, the bubble of the stock market, the crooks at the helms of corporations like Global Crossing, all the while “entertaining” interns in the Oval Office. It was like the roaring 20’s all over again. Mean while lone voices in the wilderness, mostly conservatives, were trying to bring attention to the important issues of the day. It was not enough to say I told you so, because this was our country and our future being handled by this pathological personality.

Hillary was right there doing her best to influence policy. She now touts that as her “experience”, but what an experience it was. She attempted to ruin our healthcare system by socializing it. The people rejected it, and therefore rejected Hillary. If we recall her experience, she was conducting secret meetings, handpicking committees and panels from her stable of lackey’s, and doing her best to dictate to the American people what was best for their health. One small sample of the “experience” she will bring back to the White House.

But there is so much more. They are one of the most “connected” families in America with some really “questionable” connections. I for one am Clintoned out. We have had enough Clinton’s, Bush’s, Kennedy’s, and Cuomo’s for ten life times. Let’s start electing the “real” people of this country. Let’s stop electing people because we recognize their name or because they have “celebrity” status. Let’s start electing real leaders. Let’s send the Clinton’s packing. Please…

America 1 (Won) – Spitzer 0

The governor of NY, Elliot Spitzer who recently was pushing to give illegal’s drivers licenses, has gone down in flames, utterly defeated, shown the exit, and has heard the wrath of the people. He said he didn’t “need a stethoscope to hear the pulse of NY” on this issue. No kidding! Even in the liberal leaning state of NY, people understand the issue of illegal immigration. They want it stopped and they want it fixed. Giving criminal’s driver’s licenses is not the way to fix it.

I can’t wait for Hillary’s response. She is on the ropes and the other democratic presidential hopefuls can smell the blood. It will be interesting to see if Barack the “I can’t pledge allegiance to America” or “put my hand over my heart during the national anthem” Obama, can capitalize on this issue. It is becoming so clear who these democratic candidates are, and this is good news for America. America needs to know, the current crop of democrats in power is a dangerous group of people to have in power at this time in our history.

There is one point I agree with Spitzer on, and that is his criticism of the federal government ignoring the illegal immigration issue, and leaving it to the states to handle. President Bush has failed in this area. He is an open borders supporter, and he is lucky he is not on the ballot again this year.

But today we celebrate another victory for America, all of us, rank and file democrats, republicans, and independents. They will be back to try again so we must keep our radar on and continue to defeat this lunacy when we see it. This is a critical issue in the upcoming presidential campaign along with National Security, and I believe they go hand in hand. If we as a people could unite on Social Security reform, and reduced government intervention in our lives, like we have on illegal immigration, we’d be on to something here. Just a thought…

77% of Americans get it right on illegal immigration!

This poll found that democrats, republicans, and independents agree; illegal immigrants should not be able to get a driver license. Many also support giving police the authority to arrest illegals when they find them on routine traffic stops.

And of course, Hillary is still dancing around the issue of illegal’s getting a drivers license. She is asked again about her position and she again avoids the issue which says she is for giving licenses to illegals. This is going to give her trouble in the general election and that is good for this country. Maybe, just maybe democrats will wake up and see her for who she is, and that’s really good for the 77% of Americans that disagree with her. Just a thought…

Poor Poor Hillary Clinton; Those Bad Boys…

The democratic field last night took shots at the only female in the crowd, and some are saying it wasn’t fair. I thought she was the strongest woman, smartest woman, and the right woman to lead the nation? This is little league compared to what she would be faced with if, God forbid, she made it to the White House.

The most telling thing about Hillary in last night’s debate was she has no core values to speak of, beyond an obsession with power. Don’t get me wrong, she will try her best to socialize this country and undermine our founding principles the best she can, but she knows she would be voted out after one term if she crosses a line; for now. I shudder to think of her government first and always principals being applied in small increments until one day we wake up and the America we know and love is gone.

So as the “boys” in the democratic party ask her the difficult questions like; do you support driver’s licenses for illegal’s, and she can’t say yes or no, we have the opportunity to understand that another Clinton in the White House is a really bad thing for this nation. I would be more comfortable with picking a president out of the phone book than have Hillary as our president.

I am hoping these questions about Hillary’s “experience”, her desire to socialize our healthcare, take control of how we raise our families, and her inability to answer a question directly, will sink into the voter's mind and give them pause at the ballot box. I don’t expect the democrats voting in the primaries will mind her complete dichotomy from the nation as a whole, but I really hope the general electorate catches on before it is too late. Just a thought…

Hillary’s Thugs in Chinatown…

Hillary Clinton has raised $380,000 from the poorest neighborhoods in Chinatown NY. Make sense? It does if you know how this scam works. Shady characters in these immigrant neighborhoods force illegal residents and others through bullying and extortion to donate money because they know most will not go to the police. Sometimes like Hsu, they donate money in the names of others to get around campaign finance law limits.

This is what our next president (God forbid) considers acceptable behavior? Why is it wherever the Clinton’s go, trouble follows? How come Hillary has had to give back the most campaign donations of any candidate? How come she gets away with saying, oops, even when she is considered by so many (fools) to be the smartest woman in America?

We need to pay attention to all of the details of Hillary’s campaign. There is a lot of unethical behavior going on right under her nose. We must help her weed out all of these marginal practices in her campaign like accepting money that is extorted from vulnerable individuals. She is very busy so we must help her, otherwise she may get herself in trouble. It’s the least we can do…

Hillary’s giving away your money; again…

It is difficult to keep up with Hillary’s changing proposals and which tax increases she likes the most. Now Hillary has taken the $5000 “baby bond” off the table, presumably because people thought it was a really stupid idea to pay people for having babies. Now she's proposing tax breaks for 401K programs because she doesn’t think we are saving enough. I guess if Hillary doesn’t think we’re doing enough of something she will make sure we do more of that something, one way or the other.

She doesn’t think we go to the doctor enough so she will force people to go, otherwise they risk losing their health insurance. She doesn’t think we are saving enough so now she is going to take money from those that do save and transfer $1000 of their hard earned tax dollars and give them to the people she thinks should save more. All I can say is thank God for Hillary. I would not know what to do in my life if she wasn’t watching out for me; and you.

Pandering is her specialty and she knows best, or does she? Yes baby bond, no baby bond, yes healthcare, no healthcare, yes savings plan, no savings plan. I can’t keep up with the pandering. All I do know is if she is trying to help me, I am running for the hills. She knows nothing about, healthcare, finance, or anything that relates to business or the way we take care of OUR families. When is the last time she wasn’t making her living off the tax payer? That’s right; she knows nothing about the way we live and it shows in her proposals.

She is about power over you. She is Queen Hillary. She knows best. We can’t survive without her. Run for the hills…

Hillary; this is really bad judgment…

Hillary Clinton has hired on Sandy Berger, former National Security Advisor to Bill Clinton, who was convicted and sentenced for stealing highly classified terrorism documents prior to the 9/11 commission hearings, back in 2003, from the National Archives. He received a $50,000 fine and two years probation. It also included a 2 year loss of his security clearance. A mere slap on the hand if you think about what would have happened to someone else who was caught doing the same thing. Most people in the know have speculated he destroyed documents that would have cast the Clinton administration’s terrorism “policy” in a bad light. Make no mistake, the Clinton’s will do anything to protect their legacy and maintain power.

I have no evidence but here is my speculation about why they hired Berger; it is a political payoff. He did the deed on behalf of the Clinton’s and this is his payback for being a loyal “soldier” in the Clinton “army”. Why else would Hillary Clinton risk the political fallout this will stir up? Why else would she risk being tied to a criminal like Berger? Hillary is smarter than that, politically. The story will die for now, but in the general election this is exactly the type of issue you want to avoid if you are Hillary. This will remind most American’s of the shenanigans that went on in the 90’s, and will remind most of us how much the Clinton’s undermined the prestige and integrity of the office of the president.

This is not the last we will hear about this but it will part of an overload of information that most voters will turn off. That has always been the biggest challenge to defeating the Clinton’s. People get so tired of the voluminous issues of moral bankruptcy and criminal activity. Most people just can’t believe it or all the issues begin to meld into one. They also write it off as political posturing by her opponents and stop paying attention. The sad truth is most of it is the truth. Just a thought…
