Too many of our elected Members of Congress are making behind-closed-door deals and ignoring their constituents, calling them “yahoos,” “Nazis”,“and “tea-baggers.”

The Full article is HERE. Time to toss the ALL incumbents out. The current crop of Corruptocrats has got to go. Having a 100% unemployment rate among Congressional incumbents would do wonders for our economy and country. The higher the unemployment rate among incumbent Corruptocrats the lower our deficits and unemployment among normal people will be.

More consumers just say no to credit cards

The full article is HERE. Marla & I are doing the same thing, paying down our debts and trying to save more. We reject the whole idea of living on credit\plastic. We don’t use or want credit cards of any kind. At least when you pay CASH for something you own it free and clear. Cash is still king and always will be.

While on most issues I’m hardly a fan of Arianna Huffington and the Huffington Post, I do support the HuffPo’s campaign to move money out of the greedy, too big to fail banking monstrosities. My spouse and I are indeed shopping around for a smaller, friendlier local bank. Why should we give our hard earned money to lazy, greedy CEO’s that don’t deserve it?? No man or woman alive is worth the kind of compensation the Corporate fat cats are getting these days.

Senior Chinese military officers have proposed that their country boost defense spending, adjust PLA deployments, and possibly sell some U.S. bonds to punish Washington for its latest round of arms sales to Taiwan.

The full article is HERE. I wish China and OPEC would dump all their US debt and not buy any worthless US paper. It’s a radical step for sure but it would effectively cut up Washington’s credit card then force the politicians to reign in spending and finally have the Government live within its means.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 20 would reassert that state’s sovereignty under the U.S. Constitution’s 1oth Amendment. From the resolution

The full article is HERE. State Nullification!! Is the West Virginia GOP finally ‘growin a set’? Will the WV GOP stand up to the corrupt Democrat Party machine in West Virginia? Will the WV GOP pass STRONG ethics laws with stiff penalties for corruption?
Nice to see WV lawmakers take a stand against the Socialist Tide eminating from DC. My big question, is the West Virginia Republican party finally getting its act together or is this all just a cute PR gag to spearhead fundraising effforts? I won’t give a penny to any political party but instead donate directly to candidates that I support.
Giving money to the national parties, Democrat or Repblican, is simply funding the lavish lifestyles of the corrupt party bosses and THEIR agenda not YOUR agenda. Let’s be real here; both parties have and are ENGORGING themselves on our tax dollars and plundering public treasuries so why in the hell would i, or any SANE person, give these corruptocrats any more of our money?? These Corruptocrats are working in their own best interests and agendas. These Corruptocrats only care about Wall St fat cats and K Street lobbyists. Dealing with Main St, to a Corruptocrat, is a Constitutional nusiance they deal with every few years so they can keep stealing elections.
What is ‘Main St’ to your Congressperson? Is it in the states these Congresspeople represent or the wealthy DC suburbs where these Congresspeople actually live? Therein lies another huge problem with incumbents of BOTH parties. They don’t actually live in the districts they claim to represent.
Robert Byrd is one of West Virginia’s Senators and a prime example of living in one state but representing another in Congress. Robert Byrd actually lives in McLean VIRGINIA not West Virginia! So how does Robert Byrd actually live in Virginia while representing WEST Virginia in the Senate? Answer: loose or nonexistent residency requirements for elected officials, public officals and public sevants. In too many cases a simple ‘mail drop’ is the only real connection an incumbent Corruptocrat has to the districts they represent.
So, in the end, your Congressperson is going to have a different view of ‘Main St’. The ‘Main St’ in the wealthy DC suburbs Congresspeople live in is going to look a bit different then Main St in disctrict that elected these corruptocrats.
Don’t tell me these Corruptocrats can’t go home many nites during the week and on weekends and have to actually deal with the people that elected them. This is the jet age and a coach ticket home is probably a business expense write off anyways so it wouldn’t cost much. Many business people spend a large part of of their lives air commuting between work/clients and home so why can’t Congresspeople do the same?
Congresswoman Shelly Moore Capito, a REPUBLICAN (sadly), typifies a career politician and Corruptocrat. Capito’s sheer contempt of and for the voters was clearly demonstrated during last summers Town Hall meetings when Capito held carefully scripted and controlled ‘telephone town hall meetings’ rather then meet voters directly and listen directly to our concerns. How much more of an F**k You’ attitude do you need from Shelley Capito and other politicians before you vote them out of office?
All these incumbent Corruptocrats are the same. They are ALL K street concubines, beholden to Wall St who use Main St and voters as a Urinals….

Exposed: Naked Body Scanner Images Of Film Star Printed, Circulated By Airport Staff

The full article is HERE. Who couldn’t see that crap coming? Let’s not forget the very real radiation hazard these body scanners pose. I, for one, am not likely to set foot on an airplane in this life again. Why risk my backside in a flying tin can that isn’t maintained properly or safe to fly, a target for every Muslim with a bomb and an invasive privacy nitmare to get on?
Bullshit to that! I’ll sit in traffic with my nice big V8 truck pumping out LOTS of CO2 !! At least my big ol gas hog is SAFE and comfy. I suppose the one nice thing about Obama’s ‘green’ econoboxes, like the Toyota Prius, is that they serve double duty as coffins, especially in an accident, so they can be money savers huh??
It’ll be interesting to watch the airline industry fall out of the sky faster then their crappy planes thanks to Al Quaeda and the US Government. Yet another industry America lead the world in that we flushed down the tubes with our own foolishness, greed and arrogance.

Here are a few ‘Editors Choice’ political cartoons for today:
