“The
only just government is the government that serves its citizens, not itself.” —
Cardinal Timothy Dolan
“Here
is their plan. Whistle a happy tune while driving us off a fiscal cliff as long
as they are behind the wheel of power when we fall.” — Chris Christie
”We believe ‘we’re all in this together’ is a far
better philosophy than ‘you’re on your own.’” Bill Clinton
In describing Mitt Romney: “a person who said in
four words, ‘Let Detroit go bankrupt.’”
Rahm Emmanuel (note:
Romney never said this. An editor
created a headline with those words for an op-ed Romney wrote)
Gallup: Unemployment
in August not likely to improve
The BLM’s July unadjusted unemployment
rate was 8.7% last month. Gallup is
expecting the that number to remain the same or go up in August.
CBO: Under Current Law, Unemployment Will Rise Next Year to 9.1%
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is
projecting that if changes in federal
taxing-and-spending policies already enacted and set to take effect at the
beginning of next year do in fact take place, the unemployment rate will climb to
9.1 percent.
Democrats split,
but put God and Jerusalem back into Party Platform
Having taken out of the Democratic
Platform any mention of God and the acknowledgement of Jerusalem being Israel’s
capital, the Democrats did an about face
as it became an issue. But it took three
votes to get the approval and many in
the audience booed the decision.
This
is turning out to be a festering sore for the Democratic Party. When they tried to change the platform it
appeared the chairman ramrodded the changes through. This vote brought to mind the 1930s as the idea of putting Jerusalem back in the platform as the
Capital of Israel was supported by no more than half the delegates (and
probably not even half). There were boos
after the chairman said it carried.
But
as a Republican it is fun to watch the
Democrats start coming apart.
Featured Steelworker at DNC
didn’t actually work for Bain
“DavidFoster was never an employee of GST Steel’s Kansas City plant. He was
employed by the United Steelworkers of America as their regional union director
to represent GST Steel, but was not employed at our facility,” But he was a speaker at the DNC passing
himself off as a former Bain employee.
From
his speech: In 2001, with
GST bankrupt and Romney still CEO of Bain, I stood in front of hundreds of steelworkers in their 50s and 60s, and
retirees in their 70s and 80s, and told them Romney and Bain had broken their
promises. Jobs, vacation pay, severance, health insurance and pension benefits
that were promised—they were all gone.
Except
Romney was no longer at Bain Capital. He was
busy saving the Winter Olympics and had been there for over two years at
this time.
A
New Democratic Idea: Ban corporate
profits
If
you want to see how ignorant the Democrat delegates can be, this will scare the devil out of
you.
Woodward’s
latest book reveals Obama’s deal breaker
Bob Woodward’s new book, The Price of Power, is coming out
September 11 and that timing is not good for Obama. Woodward details out the negotiations between Obama and Boehner who came up with a deal to
reduce the deficit only to have
President Obama insist on increasing the new taxes by 50%. That
was a deal breaker and Boehner went to his plan B which kept the government
from defaulting on its debt. Obama did
not have a plan B and it was Boehner and
Reid who kept the government out of default.
From the write up it appears Obama doesn’t like the Republicans in
congress or the Democrats and the feeling appears to be mutual. He relates the story of inviting Paul Ryan to
an address he was making where he tore Ryan’s budget apart. Ryan related to one of the Whitehouse staff “I can’t believe you poisoned the well like
that.” It appears Bill Clinton was
right when he called Obama an Amateur.
As for Obama putting out an open hand to try to get the Republicans on board
that appears to be left wing spin.
On his first day in office, Obama sent a message to congress telling
them he wanted a stimulus of between $800 billion and $1.3 trillion. It was well received by both parties who were
serious in their desire to work with the President on this. Three
days later, Obama invited the congressional delegates to the White House
and basically rejected all the
Republicans proposals. Woodward says
as if to almost rub it in, Obama told Eric Cantor, “Elections have consequences.
And Eric, I won.”
Cantor told Woodward he was “surprised
how badly the White House had played what should have been a winning hand. Though
Obama won the vote, he had unified and energized the losers.”

DNC viewership
down
While Michelle Obama was praised by the
media, viewership was down significantly from 2008 and Ann Romney actually had400,000 more viewers than did the first lady.

Phony Injuns
A top five list of people who claimed to
be Indians without a drop of Indian blood in them. ElizabethWarren takes top honors but you’ll be surprised about the others.
Whatever
happened to Climate Change as a political issue?
The whole Climate Change “issue” seems to have slipped away from the
left. In the first two days of the
Democratic National Convention, it was mentioned only once in 80 speeches.
Democrats and abortion
Why
has the party removed the sentence “Abortionshould be safe, legal, and rare” from its platform? It was in the 2004
document but not in 2008’s or this year’s. Can’t Democrats just throw a crumb to the many millions who are
pro-choice but not pro-abortion?
Democrats and Poverty
There is a striking absence of any mention of poverty at the Democratic
National Convention. If you want to know
why look here.
Government vs Corporation
"Government"
is just a word for things we do together. "Corporation"
is just a word for things we do together
voluntarily. David Burge
