Report: Democrats Eye 6 More House Pickups in 2010
Buoyed Democrats look for more gains in House. We have their report
It's a bold claim: The president's party, which typically loses seats in the first midterm election, thinks it can win six more House seats. "The map remains ripe with opportunities for more Democratic gains," says Jon Vogel, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He forwarded to us the latest DCCC report, which finds that fundraising is strong despite the economy and that polls favor Democrats by some 15 percentage points. And while he is concerned about some Democrats running in 34 troubled "frontline districts," he not only predicts victory but says that there are an additional six Republican-held districts the DCCC wants. Read his 16-page memo, including Democratic talking points, here:

President Obama's Health Care Bill HR3200
I have been reading HR3200 Section by Section! I find the "MOST NOT ALL" of the claims by the opponents of the bill have exaggerated or outright lied about the facts in the Bill. Some of the bill is also written with very slippery vague language, so who knows what they really want to do. However, it is still a very bad bill and I don't want the Government to have access to my medical records. I also do not want to create another giant agency or agencies to oversee my life. TELL GOVERNMENT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIVE!
What I am scared of are people like the Emanuel Brothers. The Intrepid Rham Emanuel is Obama's Chief of Staff and Chief Arm Twister. (Al Capone would highly value such a man from Chicago in his day!). Rham's other brother is Ari Emanuel. Ari just happens to be Michael "Sicko" Moore's Hollywood Agent. Rham's other brother is Ezekiel Emanuel M.D. PhD. Dr. Emanuel is a leading Oncologist and Bioethicist (CAN YOU SAY EUGENICS!) and proponent of Euthanasia. Dr. Emanuel is also on President Obama's Medical Advisory Board. Last we have Dr. John Holdren, the President's National Science Advisor. Dr. Holdren is a leading expert on global population control (CAN YOU SAY EUGENICS, AGAIN!) and well known Euthanasia proponent. Folks, if I were writing a novel I still could not make this stuff up!
Democrats in 2010
If you voted Democrat,You voted for Communism! Saddly we are not much better with Republicans. Republicans have not stayed with True American Conservative Principles. Few people in elected office seem to support American Ideals. I stand for the Restriction of Random Abortion, Support of American Private Lawful Firearms Ownership,Sound Fiscal Management, Honest Government, Protection of Homosexuals as Persons but no to Most So Called Gay Rights, Sound Immigration Policy, Pro Union and Working People with In Reason, Buy American and Strong Domestic Industries With Protection and Fair Trade, Strong National Defense but not the Bellicose Foreign Policy Currently we Have. No To Socialism, and Pro Smaller Government, Pro Private and Home Schooling. Anti-Communist/Fascist All Around. Pro-God all the Way. Be Proud to Stand Up as American and and stand with her friends. Stand Strong Against Our Enemies Foriegn and Domestic. Stand for E-Friendly Well Thoughtout Green Tech Solutions to Energy Problems. Will the Dems deliver any of this? Hell No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will anyone read this who care? No.
Term limits or another plan?
If we force Congress to be a revolving door (impose term limits), what effect do you think this will have on the average American running for office? Two of every three US Senators are millionaires with US Reps close behind. Is it a coincidence that Congress is made up of millionaires? Will average citizens be better or less able to compete with millionaires for office? Additionally, being wealthy may effects political views, just like being an average wage earner effects ones political views. I wish we could empower ordinary citizens earning average incomes to run for Congress. This would be more helpful than electing rich people who can afford to take 4 to 12 years off from their lives to serve in government.
