Bad News for Democrats

According to Rasmussen...

Support for the Democratic Congressional candidates fell to a new low over the past week, allowing the GOP to move slightly head for the first time in recent years in the Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 41% said they would vote for their district’s Republican candidate while 39% would choose the Democrat.

Investors now favor Republicans by a 46% to 36% margin, while non-investors would vote Democratic by a 45% to 33% margin.

If this keeps up, Democrats are gonna be in trouble in 2010 and 2012. I may even vote for the Republican candidate for President in 2012 myself if Obama keeps showing his hypocrisy and succeeds in being a hypocrite. Let this be a warning to you Obama and the Dems. Get your shit together and govern from the center or else you will face casualties in the next 2-4 years.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I'm probably the last one to wish everyone a Happy St. Patty's day, but better late than never, right? Hope you all had a good one!

Take care,

Things Are Looking Up

According to Rasmussen...

Consumer Confidence Reaches Highest Level Since November

After five days of steady gains, consumer confidence is now at its highest level
of 2009. In fact, confidence is now at the highest level since the morning after
Barack Obama was elected President in November.
The Rasmussen Consumer Index, which measures consumer confidence on a daily basis,
moved up another point on Sunday to 67.0.

I guess things are starting to look up. Now who will take the credit? Will it be President George Bush or will it be President Obama? What do you think?

I don't really care either way. As long as things start to get better and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, it's alright by me.

Obama Administration Is Open to Taxing Health Benefits

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is signaling to Congress that the president could support taxing some employee health benefits, as several influential lawmakers and many economists favor, to help pay for overhauling the health care system.

The proposal is politically problematic for President Obama, however, since it is similar to one he denounced in the presidential campaign as “the largest middle-class tax increase in history.” Most Americans with insurance get it from their employers, and taxing workers for the benefit is opposed by union leaders and some businesses.

In television advertisements last fall, Mr. Obama criticized his Republican rival for the presidency, Senator John McCain of Arizona, for proposing to tax all employer-provided health benefits. The benefits have long been tax-free, regardless of how generous they are or how much an employee earns. The advertisements did not point out that Mr. McCain, in exchange, wanted to give all families a tax credit to subsidize the purchase of coverage.

What a fucking hypocrite. Fuck you, Obama. Keep this shit up and you can kiss 2012 goodbye.

Obama considering plan to make vets pay own insurance

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance.

This is real nice. Obama supports some sort of national health care system, but wants to force our veterans to pay for service related injuries? Sounds contradictory to me. What happened to supporting our troops? One of the reasons our veterans join the service in the first place was for the great benefits.

Charging for service-related injuries would violate "a sacred trust," Veterans of Foreign Wars spokesman Joe Davis said. Davis said the move would risk private health care for veterans and their families by potentially maxing out benefits paying for costly war injury treatments.

This plan sounds more like a Republican's than a Democrat's to me. Usually the Republicans are the ones sending our young men and women off to war and then neglecting the veterans when they come home.

So much for positive change, eh? More like change for the worse. Change this, change that. All these troops are left with is fucking pocket change and Obama wants them to pay for their own work related injuries. Real fucking good. Fuck Obama. I hope the Dumbocrats have enough balls to vote against this bullshit plan.

"I believe that veterans with service-connected injuries have already paid by putting their lives on the line," Murray said in her remarks. "I don't think we should nickel and dime them for their care."
Eleven of the most prominent veterans organizations have been lobbying Congress to oppose the idea. In the letter sent last week to the president, the groups warned that the idea "is wholly unacceptable and a total abrogation of our government's moral and legal responsibility to the men and women who have sacrificed so much."

Amen.

A second stimulus package...

I keep hearing about a second stimulus package. What the fuck? The first stimulus package hasn't even been put in effect yet and they're thinking about a second one? They don't even know if the first one will work yet but they still think it's a good idea to bring out another one? This is ridiculous. A $700-800 billion stimulus package isn't enough? I can't even remember how much the first stimulus package was. It was an inconceivable amount. I just can't believe the bullshit that is going on in Washington. Spend, spend, spend. The attitude seems to be "have a problem? Just throw money at it and it will go away." Well I hope it works. Otherwise we're all fucked. Actually, I think we're all fucked regardless. Maybe if it works we'll be fucked a bit less but still fucked nonetheless.

Well, enjoy your fucking, America.

Daylight Savings Time Begins

For all of you unfortunate souls out there who live anywhere other than Arizona and some parts of Indiana, daylight savings time begins. Tonight you have to set your clocks forward to "save" daylight. Daylight savings time is unnecessary in this day and age as far as I'm concerned. It's outdated and quite a hassle that comes twice a year. I think it's time to retire this practice of trying to save "daylight." One of the joys of living in Arizona is that the time doesn't change. Half of the year we're on Mountain time, and the other half, we're on Pacific time. Everyone changes, while we stay the same. Maybe one day the rest of the country will catch up with us.

Ex-Governor Blagojevich gets a book deal

I know I am probably the last person to report on this, but I only heard about it the other day. In my search of something to blog about, I came across the article again.

Is this becoming a new fad? Does every nutcase who has lost an election (Sarah Palin) or been removed from office (Blagojevitch) or who has made a fool of himself (Joe the Plumber) deserve a book deal? What the fuck is this? Who is going to want to read Blagojebitch's book? What could he possibly have to write about that is the least bit interesting? The same goes for Palin and Joe the Plumber - who has incidentally already written his book, had it published and is on store shelves right now. How the hell did he write a book so fast? Its only been about 5 months since he made a fool of himself publicly. Is that really all it takes? Coming from the reviews on Amazon, the book seemed to be hastily put together, with spelling errors and all. The reviews are a riot, you should check them out for a good laugh.

I guess it's time for me to write my book. I don't think my life is that interesting, but eh, if these idiots can write a book and sell it, I guess I can too. Who would be willing to read it? Give me a shout of inspiration!

Tired of hearing about Rush Limbaugh

Am I the only one that is tired of hearing about Rush Limbaugh? If I wanted to hear anything from or about Rush Limpballs, I would tune into his radio show. But I don't do that, you wanna know why? Because I do not give a shit about that fat fuck. I do not care what he has to say. I don't give two shits about Rush Limpballs and I am tired of hearing his name being thrown around. Fuck Rush Limpballs. I hope he falls off the face of the Earth.
