AOL Straw Poll: Sept. 11-18 (Politics Daily)

Sep 11th 2008 12:58PM “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars
and apartments. Bring the revolution home,
kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at.”
William Ayers

Ayers is unapologetic about his terrorist activities.

Incredibly, on Sept. 11, 2001, Ayers is quoted by The New York Times as saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.”

How could a man like Obama associate with such a dangerous radical? And even defend him?

And now Obama, Ayers friend, could be sitting in the White House next year — unless we tell the American people the unvarnished truth about them! Please help John McCain.

AOL Straw Poll: Sept. 11-18 (Politics Daily)

Sep 11th 2008 12:34PM Like I said many times. I used to be a Democrat, but left the party when Clinton became President. I had voted for Jimmy Carter and regreted every minute he was in office. Socialism does not work. You cannot redistribute wealth and expect everyone to live happily ever after. The wealthy create the jobs and when you tax them too high, they leave the USA. You have to give tax breaks for small business owners or your community will not survive. There is a state in the USA that when a Bill comes before their Legislature that if that Bill is approved they have to get rid of two unnecessary Bills. Wouldn't that be great if our Senate did the same thing? In fact, shouldn't they be after Charles Rangle (D-NY) for unpaid property taxes? For his taxpayer paid auto and insurance, plus more than we'll ever know.

Sep 11th 2008 12:21PM You will note, by going to CAGW that when they say Alaska was leading in PORK, it was because of Stevens, the Republican that Sara Palin went up against. You can read for yourself.

AOL Straw Poll: Sept. 11-18 (Politics Daily)

Sep 11th 2008 12:18PM In fiscal year 2008, Congress stuffed 11,610 projects (the second highest total ever) worth $17.2 billion into the 12 appropriations bills. That is a 337 percent increase over the 2,658 projects in fiscal year 2007, and a 30 percent increase over the $13.2 billion total in fiscal year 2007. Alaska led the nation with $556 in pork per capita ($380 million total), followed by Hawaii with $221 ($283 million) and North Dakota with $208 ($133 million). CAGW has identified $271 billion in total pork since 1991.

AOL Straw Poll: Sept. 1-8 (Politics Daily)

Sep 11th 2008 11:59AM http://www.CAGW.org

Washington, D.C. - Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today named Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) its August Porkers of the Month for leading a do-nothing Congress into a five week vacation.

Congress left for its traditional August recess after accomplishing nothing. Of the 106 bills enacted since January, 94, or 89 percent were to name government buildings or lands, extend or make technical corrections to existing laws, or passed either by unanimous consent or with less than 10 dissenting votes. The accomplishments included “Frank Sinatra Day,” National Plumbing Industry Week,” and “National Day of the Cowboy.”

The deadline for passing the 12 annual appropriations bills has been deliberately ignored. Only one of the bills has passed the House, and only four others have been approved by the House Appropriations Committee. In the Senate, nine have been approved by the Appropriations Committee but none have reached the floor. There are two reasons for this failure to act. First, the Speaker and Majority Leader appear to be waiting for the presidential election to decide what to do with these bills, hoping that the winner in November would favor higher spending and more earmarks.

Second, the moratorium on offshore drilling expires on September 30, and it is usually renewed through the appropriations process. However, both Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid are opposed to lifting the moratorium. Rather than allowing a vote, they shut down Congress. House Republicans took to the darkened House floor, demanding that Congress go back into session and hold an up-or-down vote to lift the drilling ban.

The Speaker’s first response was to continue her taxpayer-financed vacation to promote her new book. She has since indicated some willingness to consider a vote, but only tied to a larger (and costly) energy package. Majority Leader Reid’s response has been to threaten to shut down the government by refusing to allow any appropriations bills to reach the Senate floor, including a continuing resolution that would allow agencies to operate at the fiscal year 2008 spending levels.

For leaving town after Congress has spent nearly all of its time on frivolous legislation, failing to address critical issues, and threatening a government shutdown, CAGW names Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid its August 2008 Porkers of the Month.

Citizens Against Government Waste is the nation’s largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government. Porker of the Month is a dubious honor given to lawmakers, government officials, and political candidates who have shown a blatant disregard for the interests of taxpayers.

Sep 11th 2008 11:45AM If I'm not mistaken I think I heard that Obama has earmarks for several million to go to a Museum in Chicago that his friend requested. I have no names or the number of the Bill, but it won't be hard to find.

Sep 10th 2008 5:11PM I'm sure I'll enjoy the debate between Palin and Biden. Palin will be in Carson City, NV at 5:00 p.m. Mills Park in case any one out there is from Nevada.
