Pollsters From Both Parties: Republicans Headed for a Good Election Day

Ill take the more crooked, Thank you

The problem is each party is more concerned for their agendas. They are not there for the people, they are there for their own personal agendas. We the people need to take a stand and demand we get back to the basics. This great nation was birthed from 3 very important documents, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. These documents have not been followed for decades. We the people need to speak out and let our voices be heard that we not only NEED change, but that we demand it. I am trying to do my part by getting a subtle message out http://teadshirts.com. The message that I am trying to get out is that we need to focus on the very documents our founding fathers put in place. It was these documents that made this nation so great. Our rights, our sovereignty is at stake. We the people, collectively, can make a change, make a difference. We have to exercise our 1st amendment rights and send the message that we demand change. Collectively, we can and will make that change happen...

Tomorrow, the McDonnell/Christie/Hoffman victories will move us one step closer to a cleaner, less corrupt America. Onward to 2010!

If enough conservatives get elected in 2010, maybe we can get a law passed which would add referenda to all federal ballots. That would allow voters rather than members of Congress to pass bills. To protect the will of the people, bills passed by referendum should be immune to presidential veto.

The first referendum I'll propose is to assign responsibility for federal deficits to those who spend our money:
The president will have to pay back 20% of all debt incurred during his watch.
The Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader each will bear responsibility for 10% of all new debt.
30% of the total will be awarded to each of the two Congressional houses, with each member responsible for an equal share, regardless of party affiliation.

Just to be fair we'll let the President and Congressmen share a 5% commission on all budget surpluses. That would allow us citizens to compete vs. lobbyists for attention.

This should add some fresh thinking to our government; maybe even responsibility and logical thinking.

What we're talking about here is nothing really but it's all the neocons have to hang their hats on. The Governors are no more than figureheads on the national level. Surely there will be minor setbacks during the evaporization of the conservative republican agenda but the real trend will win out. That is, America will win out.

The ethics committee is one of the most secretive panels in Congress, and its members and staff members sign oaths not to disclose any activities related to its past or present investigations. Watchdog groups have accused the committee of not actively pursuing inquiries; the newly disclosed document indicates the panel is conducting far more investigations than it had revealed.

Shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday, the committee chairman, Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), interrupted a series of House votes to alert lawmakers about the breach. She cautioned that some of the panel's activities are preliminary and not a conclusive sign of inappropriate behavior.

"No inference should be made as to any member," she said.

Rep. Jo Bonner (Ala.), the committee's ranking Republican, said the breach was an isolated incident.

The 22-page "Committee on Standards Weekly Summary Report" gives brief summaries of ethics panel investigations of the conduct of 19 lawmakers and a few staff members. It also outlines the work of the new Office of Congressional Ethics, a quasi-independent body that initiates investigations and provides recommendations to the ethics committee. The document indicated that the office was reviewing the activities of 14 other lawmakers. Some were under review by both ethics bodies.

A broader inquiry


Ethics committee investigations are not uncommon. Most result in private letters that either exonerate or reprimand a member. In some rare instances, the censure is more severe.

Many of the broad outlines of the cases cited in the July document are known -- the committee announced over the summer that it was reviewing lawmakers with connections to the now-closed PMA Group, a lobbying firm. But the document indicates that the inquiry was broader than initially believed. It included a review of seven lawmakers on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee who have steered federal money to the firm's clients and have also received large campaign contributions.

The document also disclosed that:

-- Ethics committee staff members have interviewed House Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) about one element of the complex investigation of his personal finances, as well as the lawmaker's top aide and his son. Rangel said he spoke with ethics committee staff members regarding a conference that he and four other members of the Congressional Black Caucus attended last November in St. Martin. The trip initially was said to be sponsored by a nonprofit foundation run by a newspaper. But the three-day event, at a luxury resort, was underwritten by major corporations such as Citigroup, Pfizer and AT&T. Rules passed in 2007, shortly after Democrats reclaimed the majority following a wave of corruption cases against Republicans, bar private companies from paying for congressional travel.

Rangel said he has not discussed other parts of the investigation of his finances with the committee. "I'm waiting for that, anxiously," he said.

So true, Mark. People need to abandon both parties--one is too stupid to get anything done, and the other has itself tied to the Religious Right (RR). Sad.

The House committee that oversees the nation’s financial services
sectors has quietly voted to give regulatory power to a famously
corrupt community organization that rakes in millions of dollars from
the very institutions it will monitor.

Weeks after Congress cut the public funding of the fraud-infested
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the
House Committee on Financial Services has actually approved an
amendment that will give the Chicago-based group a role in setting
regulations for the country’s financial institutions.

Here is the best part; ACORN receives millions of dollars
annually—in direct corporate contributions and other
arrangements— from the businesses it will supposedly oversee. While
this may sound like a bad joke, considering ACORN is a renowned
criminal enterprise, it’s very real. Giving this sort of authority
to a notoriously crooked organization was the brilliant idea of
California Democrat Maxine Waters, currently under investigation for
steering federal bailout funds to her husband’s bank.

The veteran congresswoman, considered the Golden State’s most
powerful black lawmaker, added the measure to a pending bill that
aims to overhaul the country’s financial regulations. That
legislation will establish a Consumer Financial Protection Agency
(CFPA) with the authority to examine, supervise and enforce consumer
financial protection laws. The newly created agency would have
jurisdiction over mortgages, credit cards, student loans and auto
loans.

The Waters amendment adds an oversight board of five representatives
from the fields of “consumer protection, fair lending and civil
rights, representatives of depository institutions that primarily
serve underserved communities, or representatives of communities that
have been significantly impacted by higher-priced mortgages" to join
federal banking regulators in advising the CFPA’s director.

An illicit enterprise that has received tens of millions of tax
dollars over the years, ACORN would be among those groups. The
nonprofit with offices across the nation has a documented history of
embezzlement, fraud and cooking the books and has been criminally
prosecuted for voter registration fraud in various elections.
Recently, ACORN was exposed in a now world-famous video for advising
prostitutes and pimps on how to skirt housing and taxing laws.

It’s pathetic enough that ACORN continues to get tax dollars
disguised as Homeland Security grants and it defies logic that
federal lawmakers give it any sort of regulatory authority,
especially over the companies that pour money into its bulging
coffers.

ACORN, including public records and litigation related to the ongoing
probe.

Have you had a lobotomy yet or were you born this stupid? Blaming Bush for 911, Get a job, get off welfare and then get a library card and do some reading before you open your dumb assed mouth again. I have no tolerance for abso;lute died in the wool idiots.

You can't call yourself independent if you vote like a republican. I guess it was OK for Bush to destroy the constitution; but now Obama is abusing his power? Get real!
