Democrats still Protecting Charlie Rangel - One of the Most Corrupt Politicians in Washington

WILL HOUSE DEMOCRATS VOTE TO PROTECT CHAIRMAN RANGEL AGAIN?FAILURE TO PAY TAXES AND DISCLOSE INCOME, USING OFFICIAL LETTERHEAD TO RAISE MONEY FOR ‘MONUMENT TO ME’, CORPORATE-FUNDED TRIPS AMONG ACCUSATIONS RANGEL FACES
October 6, 2009 House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) PermalinkUpon winning the majority in the 2006 election, Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared that Democrats would usher-in “the most honest, the most open, the most ethical Congress in history.” Despite that well-known promise, however, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) remains as chairman of the Ways & Means Committee even though he faces serious charges that are now the subject of an Ethics Committee investigation. Moreover, Democrats have twice voted against resolutions calling for Rangel to step down as chairman until the investigation is complete. House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter (R-TX) announced last week his intention to offer another resolution this week to remove Rangel from his chairmanship pending completion of the investigation. Before the House votes on a resolution, it might be helpful for the Majority Democrats to review the accusations facing Rangel:
Failure to report $75,000 in rental income on federal and state tax returns: The New York Times reported that Rangel “earned more than $75,000 in rental income from a villa he has owned in the Dominican Republic since 1988, but never reported it on his federal or state tax returns, according to a lawyer for the congressman and documents from the resort.” Rangel also “paid no interest for more than a decade on a mortgage” for the villa and “the loan was given to him by the resort development company, in which Theodore Kheel, a prominent New York labor lawyer, was a principal investor. Mr. Kheel, who has given tens of thousands of dollars to Mr. Rangel’s campaigns over the past decade.”
Agreed to preserve a tax break that would benefit a supporter who on the same day pledged to give $1 million to Rangel’s ‘Monument to Me’: As the New York Times reported, Rangel agreed “to preserve a tax loophole for an oil-drilling company at the same time that its chief executive pledged $1 million to a City College of New York school that will bear the congressman’s name.”
Used official congressional letterhead to solicit support for his ‘Monument to Me’: The Washington Post reported that Rangel “penned letters on congressional stationery and has sought meetings to ask for corporate and foundation contributions for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at the City College of New York, a project that caused controversy last year when he won a $1.9 million congressional earmark to help start it.”
Rented four rent-stabilized apartments: As the New York Times reported, Rangel had four rent-stabilized apartments “including three adjacent units on the 16th floor overlooking Upper Manhattan” and “six floors below, as a campaign office, despite state and city regulations that require rent-stabilized apartments to be used as a primary residence.” Rangel “paid a total rent of $3,894 monthly in 2007 for the four apartments” even though the “current market-rate rent for similar apartments in Mr. Rangel’s building would total $7,465 to $8,125 a month.” Rangel later relinquished the apartment used as a campaign office.
Took at least two corporate-funded trips: As The Hill newspaper reported, the funding of trips Rangel took to the Caribbean raise questions about whether the trips violated “a two-year-old ethics rule passed after Democrats regained the House.” A major airline “provided in-kind donations of tickets for Rangel and five other members of Congress to fly from their districts to St. Martin.” According to ethics experts, the donation of tickets “for members to use for a specific trip is a clear violation of House ethics rules governing travel.”
Failed to disclose millions of dollars in income and assets: The New York Post reported that Rangel “failed to report as much as $1.3 million in outside income -- including up to $1 million for a Harlem building sale -- on financial-disclosure forms he filed between 2002 and 2006, according to newly amended records.” Rangel also “lowballed his income by as much as $70,000 in 2002, $46,000 in 2003 and $117,000 in 2006” and in 2004 “Rangel left off his disclosure form as much as $430,000 in stock transactions.” CBS News reported that Rangel also omitted a checking account worth more than $250,000.

Conservatives: Don't fall into the Main Stream Media blind Spot

Have you noticed that things don't seem to be moving at warp speed in congress. The main stream media is blowing the horn telling people how the health care bill is getting more popular, not true. When asked people want health care insurance reform yes, but government health care no.

Its kind of the same old story, print only what you want of whatever source you are using. Health care has become an issue in some minds of reforming the health insurance process, which does need to be done. This was Obama's intention since late July when he started saying "health insurance" reform. People around the country overwhelmingly disapprove of the government option. What Obama is doing is simply overloading people with one crisis to the next. Think about this, Iran blows up a week ago, Afghanistan is now a real problem, ACORN exploded and health care is still out there bubbling up. That's a lot for the American people to get their hands around.

People need to understand that if they want to succeed in getting their views across they need to focus on a single issue, maybe two at most. The desire to react to different things which you believe in passionately is hard to control. People need to hold their fire until the issue or two they are seeing as the most important come to the top. A good example is ACORN. Where is the story today? The media has too many things to cover they can't stay on one topic, they want ratings so they move from issue to issue. One day Iran is at the top, the next day its almost completely unheard. Talk radio is no different, Beck was on health care, then it was ACORN, now its Afghanistan. Yes he still mentions the others but he is not driving them home. If you are against cap and trade, when is the last time there was a major story on it? Once or maybe twice a week even on Fox.

Where I'm going to here is that people have lives, they work, they have kids, its hard to stay focused like a laser beam on something without a staff of people working for you. Health care is a make or break issue for America and Obama. The liberals need to pass something, they need to. They will pass something, god only knows what. The other option is total failure and they can't afford to have that. If health care is a big issue for you stay on it. The troops are a big issue for a lot of people, if it is for you try to divide what energy you can among the two. Its hard, but Obama is using everyone, and he has a staff, to get his agenda through congress, Washington is stopped revolving around health care. Don't take your eye off the ball, its to big of an issue to let slide away.

America - Don't Forget about Health Care, Including the Government Option - Because Obama & Democrats Did Not

I would like to take minute or two to say something on health care.The reason I am doing this is because the whole subject has gone off track in several different directions. Obama is mostly to blame for that has he came out supporting health care but has no plan, you might say he came up MIA on this as well.

First we need to clear up a real misconception. Democrats talk about the Republicans not having a plan, this is flat out false, they have several. Democrats say Republicans are not contributing to the dialog, again they have offered several amendments in both the house and senate and none have been taken up. Another thing is that we hear all the time how Obama needs health care to fix the economy. Yet, none of the Democratic proposals cost less than a Trillion dollars over 10 years. These are facts, you can argue all you want but they are the truth and are documented as such. Now a few other things.

Several people have offered the idea of letting people purchase health insurance across state lines which is widely accepted as a way to reduce cost. Yet, no plan from the Democrats have it included, why? Simple, the message has gotten shifted, Obama's original plan was "free" health care, the operative word is "free". When he saw the idea wasn't selling he switched to "health insurance reform" as a way of trying to get traction. He like other liberals realized that the American public was not on board for another government entitlement, which is a nice way of saying "welfare" program, so he switched terms. The reason we do not see ways of reducing insurance costs in any of these plans is because they don't care about what you pay. They care about being able to raise enough money to get government run health coverage for everyone, read "free" for many. A change in words does not mean a change in tactics, Americans need to remember this.

The next thing is a major concern for people, most want to know why are they being forced into buying health insurance and being threatened with fines and even jail time for not doing it? Again, an easy answer, without getting money from everyone they can't raise enough to pay for it. Yes there are cutouts for certain people, but guess who they are. Without money from the "middle class" in the pot, there is not enough to go around. So in other words, when Obama promised over and over during the campaign not to raise taxes on the middle class, he lied. He tried to say its not a tax, but even Democrats have conceded it is. Getting people back to work should be his primary focus, not trying to alter the structure of our nation.

Another thing is coverage for illegals, remember "you lied", or how can you forget. Democrats in the senate and house have blocked amendments that require people to show identification to get medicare and medicaid funds as well as access to the new government option they want, why would you want to do that? They have gone so far as to have the nerve to demand illegal aliens get coverage under a government program. This is in the house and senate. One last thing, the government option is not dead. While it has no support with the American public, Harry Reid is demanding a bill be on the senate floor next week and that it include the public option. If you live in Nevada you should be on Harry Reid without mercy, this man is a disgrace to his state and nation. He is pushing a party agenda over what the voters in Nevada and the United States want. He is a prime example of whats wrong with Washington. Voters in Nevada need to remember this next year when his term is up.

So what does this all mean? It means Democrats and liberals in congress and the White House are still pushing their agenda despite what every poll says the people in the country do not favor.

They are forcing their agenda despite what is harmful to the nation in both the short and long terms. 2010 and 2012 can't get here soon enough.

Obama comes up MIA on Afghanistan

The United States is faced with a few facts about our fight against terrorism, one is that our commander in chief is confused about what to do. So after almost 5 weeks, he still has no idea, now what?

Obama is making a purely political decision based on his own domestic needs. He knows liberals in both houses of congress are against further troop deployments. He is stalling trying to get his health care through and knows he can ill afford to upset them any more than they are already. The fight over health care has become all consuming, yet poll after poll shows little support for his plan and even fewer believe health care should be his priority. Obama is doing what Obama believes is important not what Americans thinks is important. Obama's agenda is starting to show its wearing thin around the edges, not just at home but around the world as well.

What you can see and hear more and more from foreign news services is that Obama is being perceived to be what he is, weak. He truly believes he can change the outcome of things by his force of personality. This is a dangerous mindset for him and for the United States. When he plays to a crowd inside America he has the press fawning over him, people screaming like he is a rock star, hanging his pictures all over their homes, life sized card board Obama's standing in a corner. Then reality sets in. The rest of the world doesn't see him that way. The people it matters most with surely do not. Rogue states around the world have no fear of him. This new "soft power" tactic is not working so well. The Russian's have hosed him in public twice now and he keeps going back for more. Even the French are telling us that we are not being hard enough on Iran, this is the French telling America we are not aggressive enough, whats happened? Iran said sure you can look at our enrichment site, Obama demanded in two weeks or less, so they come out and say a little over three if you please. Obama says that's a positive step, sure, lets give them 4 or 5 weeks to clean everything up before we get there. Not like that ever happened in Iraq or anything.

Now, with an army in the field Obama doesn't know what to do. But you will never hear the press say that, will you? We have Joe Biden who has not got a foreign policy decision right in the past 20 years, involved in deciding what to do, great. Biden has been on the wrong side of history for a decade, yet he is in the mix. What does that tell you about Obama? With an economy in a slow death spiral, terrorists being arrested monthly inside the United States, Islamic extremist terrorists by the way. North Korea testing nukes and new missiles. Iran on the verge of nuclear weapons testing long and short range ICBM's, not to mention shooting people in the street. The Russians once again expanding their sphere of influence, the dollar sinking like a stone around the world and the Chinese worrying about getting their money back. Obama's time is being spent on his big priority, health care for his supporters. That would be at the top of my list, how about you?

When a soldier in which ever branch he or she may be in comes up missing in the morning, they use the term MIA (missing in action) to describe him/her until they have been found or their status is known. Its sad to say, but Obama is MIA when it comes to Afghanistan, when he should be standing firmly behind the military as they have troops in battle, he is sitting at the table with liberals crying over health care.

The "Iraq" Factor in Iran - How the Iranians are using It against US

The world is hearing more and more about Iran's drive for nuclear weapons. New reports float up everyday indicating just how far advanced Iran is toward achieving their goal. If they do, the world will never be the same.

Iran is benefiting from the Iraq factor. What? The Iraq factor. Iran knows that despite the main stream liberal media blaming everything on George Bush, the real failure in Iraq was the intelligence was not current or accurate. Iran knows that's Iraq was developing all kinds of weapons, they also know first hand that Iraq not only possessed weapons of mass destruction they used them, on Iranians, hundreds of thousands of them. So I am sure to them, the big fuss over the WMD's not being found neatly stacked up in a building somewhere, seems rather odd. The Iranians are not stupid, if they play on the fact that the West got it wrong in Iraq, it buys them time and room to maneuver on their own programs. If they hide enough of the program at some point it will come down to an educated guess and they are banking on the fact that Obama doesn't have enough backbone to drive forward.

The problem for the world, is that if Iran gets too much time they will develop a nuclear weapon. Once this happens things change forever. First, we can not return to the good old days of the cold war. The MAD principle, or mutually assured destruction, will not work on Iran. It worked on the Russians because they wanted to live, they wanted to survive. If you view Iran as a giant suicide bomber, it may help to clear things up. The risk of waiting to find out if they have a bomb is a risk the world can't take. The cost for waiting and finding out they have tested a nuke is most likely catastrophic. Everyone is looking at Israel as the country most likely to strike at the Iranian program. While this may be true, Israel should not be alone in this quest. If push comes to shove the United States should and must lead the way. If this type of action happens, then the US must not only destroy any suspected nuclear sites, but we need to wipe out their conventional forces ability to make war. Destroy their air force, sink their ships, knock down their air defenses and destroy their armored units. Paying special attention to missile development areas. This would need to be done for two very good reasons. The first is to try to prevent as much of an Iranian counterstrike as possible. They will use terrorism with or without conventional arms. Second, they must not be permitted to re-arm to a point where they can threaten the region, which they now do.

This would be a drastic step but a step that would help to ensure peace in the region on some level for a good period of time. One other thing it would do. If Iran knows the response of the United States will not be limited in scale to just a few sites, they may reconsider their stance on nuclear weapons. The price will be very high for them should we implement this type of reaction, if the price is high enough, they may not want to pay it. The Iraq factor is still giving them hope they can pull this off. If Obama wants certified proof of nuclear weapons, he will probably have to wait until they make a large hole in the ground one day, unfortunately it will be too late to do anything meaningful about it then.

Watch Sen.Specter help defeat HillaryCare, So What Happened? - Toomey for Senate, Sure Looks that Way

We all remember that our favorite worthless Senator, the infamous Arlen Specter jumped ship and ran over to the Democrats and helped Obama to pass the Stimulus Bill. But here is a little reminder of just how much of a weasel he is. This video shows then Republican Senator Specter blasting "HillaryCare", government run health care.

What a difference 15 years make, right? What this really shows is that he has been in the senate for way to long. Why the change in his position? Simple, he needs to get re-elected. Obama is campaigning for him plus he slipped in a few billion in the stimulus bill for cancer research, that would be like cancer Specter has. He got bought off plain and simple. When he saw the polls showing him running way behind Pat Toomey, he bailed, its pretty easy, he knew he could not win the Republican primary because of his support for Obama. That was a few months ago, this is now.

Now he supports "ObamaCare", the government option as its called. So lets see here, for all you Specter fans, all three of you that is, why do you think he has changed? Its appears that Specter is willing to do whatever benefits him, not the people he represents. To be sure this is a common occurrence in Washington today. What does this say about Arlen Specter? It tells me and many other, he needs a dictionary like Obama, only in Specters case he needs to look up the word "integrity", because he definitely doesn't have any. So is it "Toomey for Senate"? It looks that way.

So Whats Does America Think? - 62% believe America's Best Days are Behind Her - Way to Go Pres. Obama, thats Hope & Change to Believe In

I asked a few days ago for someone to show me were the Democrats are getting the information that they keep repeating, the line heard over and over is "the American people support health care". I guess I should have known, they are kind of stretching the truth to the breaking point. When the debate they are involved in is about Obama's health care plan, they side step part of the issue, the main part. Government run health care.

I saw a few interesting poll numbers that reflect how bad things are getting in the country. One the Democrats don't talk about is the fact that Rasmussen Reports has only 24% of people supporting the Democrats trying to push health care through without at a minimum of at least some Republican support. The other numbers that are stunning are coming from Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, they have a poll showing a 53% to 33% on support for health care. 33% is the lowest level of support yet recorded. These number are in keeping with other polls. So I go back to where I came from, were is this support?

Try these numbers out from Rasmussen Reports. On handling the Iraq War 47%(R) - 37%(D). On taxes 48%(R) - 40%(D). On immigration issues 45%(R) - 33%(D). Get this one, it should tell you a lot, on economic issues 47%(R) - 39%(D). Since 37.5% of people polled say they are Democrat's, if you look at those numbers across the board, it shows they are barely getting their own voters let alone independents or the famous middle. This last number is the worst.

62% of people believe that their children will not have it as good as they did, meaning the parents believe that they are better off than their children will be and they can't do anything to fix it. Imagine parents believing they can't do something to improve their children's lives over their own. That's sad, there is no American dream for these people. Let me say right now, there is no liberal spin in the world for this one. This is Obama's fault. In July that number was 53%, in January of this year the number was 47%. In January at least a little over half of the people thought things would be better for their kids, now almost 2/3's of the country have lost that hope. Maybe this is what Obama meant by change.

Democratic Health Care - 8 New Taxes for Everyone, Including the "Middle Class" & "Seniors" - Watch the Video, See if Your Included!

This is an excellent video, 8 new taxes and best of all, jail time if your fail to get health insurance. How do you define the word "liberal", because using the dictionary, the same one Obama needed, liberals in congress obviously don't know the real meaning of the word.

So lets see how this works, congress and Obama pass a law telling you you must buy something, if your refuse they "fine" you and if you don't pay the fine you can go to prison for up to 1 year and have to pay another fine of up to $250,000. Somehow that sounds more like communism than it does America, at least the America a grew up in. Maybe they do it like that in Kenya, but not here. The constitution of the United States limits the power of government, it tells government what they can't do to you, not what you must do for them. I think Obama and his liberal friends need a history lesson, they have it reversed. Again, revolutions were started for less. Guess what happens to the people in power when the revolution starts, or better yet, why not read a little history and find out.

A Look Inside the Unemployment Numbers The Average work week Down to 33 hrs. Long Term Unemployment to New Highs. How's that Stimulus Bill Working?

I wanted to take a look at the numbers inside the unemployment numbers everyone gets on the news. The story is very misleading to say the least. While it appears the unemployment rate only went up 1/10 of 1%, that's not the story. Did anyone notice the lack of mention of the infamous Stimulus Bill, the one that would keep unemployment below 8%, that one.

Its also a very true story. The number of lost jobs was 263,000 last month yes. What makes it not exactly true is that the depth of this recession is so bad that people are exhausting their unemployment benefits and falling out of the system completely. In September over 500,000 people left the unemployment compensation rolls. That means using the government way of counting, half a million people don't get included in the 9.8%. Only people who are collecting benefits count in that number. If you go back and add in all of the people who have run through their benefits, the total unemployment rate is at 17%. The problem here is that the long term unemployed is at its highest level since the great depression. Yes, the U-3 unemployment number was higher in the 70's and early 80's, but, the long term unemployment picture was no where near this bad. Like I mentioned above, I'm not seeing the Stimulus just yet, are you?

The other number hidden inside the story is the average number of hours workers are working. Everyone thinks that if you are full time you work 40 hours per week. For the most part that's true except for the past several months it has changed. The average number of hours Americans are working per week now is 33. That's right, 33. This means a couple bad things. One, even people who are working have in effect taken an 18% pay cut. Two, companies always give current employees more hours before they start hiring new ones. This shows that new hiring on any real scale will be a ways off yet. This number is one that the media loves to play with. In August all you heard was how "worker hours increased as well, a sign things are picking up". Its a flat out distortion of the truth. Yes, the average did pick up for the August numbers, but the gain was to 33.1, up from July that was at 33, like we are now. I don't know about you, but an extra 6 minutes on your paycheck for the week probably won't get you too excited will it?

What I'm saying here is that the economy is bad, people need to have an understanding of what is really happening, not the spin the media wants to give you. Look, we all know they don't want to damage Obama, so they down play the story. If this was George Bush or any other Republican they would not shut up. Think back to after 9/11, the economy tanked. A few months later it started to come back, new jobs were being created at 200,000 a month. The news media proclaimed it as a weak and feeble recovery. Yet now, when we loose over a quarter a million jobs a month, so they say almost nothing. You can play politics with the numbers, but that doesn't help people try to get their hands around the problem. When people understand long term unemployment is worsening fast, the depth of the recession starts to come into focus. The House passed a 13 week extension, again, for more unemployment compensation. But even this is a shell game, they passed the bill yes. The bill requires more taxes being levied on employers to pay for it. These would be the same employers who they want to start hiring back workers. The lack of leadership in both congress and the White House is truly pathetic. Its just a mater of time before the American people demand a "change", because they have lost "hope" in a pile of promises and speech's that amount to nothing but self aggrandisement and ego building.

That Evil George Bush Strikes Again! But How?

I don't know how he did it, that evil George Bush guy strikes again. Just when you thought he was gone, boom!I have only one question for the liberals out there. How and who will be the first to blame George Bush for Obama not getting the Olympics? Which one of the main stream media boobs, will be first to cross the line. Its the whole evil empire thing, you know, come to the dark side. I wonder if he had Carl Rove help him or maybe it was Dick Cheney that did it.


Forget that Obama left the country to make a personal pitch for his home town (Valerie Jarret) to get the big payoff from hosting the Olympics. Forget the fact that he could not find the time to meet or even talk with either of his two military commanders in the field, Iraq and Afghanistan. Forget the fact that unemployment is off to the moon. Worse yet, forget the fact that he tried to upstage Michelle. No, no, Chicago needed the Olympics, thats more important than anything like a war or two or the economy.

So all I can say is who will be first, before the weekend is over it will happen, you know Obama can't fail at anything. At least not and take the blame for it. One other thing, if you come to the dark side, we have cookies.

Cash for Clunkers - A preview of Obama's Health Care - Did I mention GM sales Crashed by 45% & Chrysler by 42% Last Month

Well now we have the results of another great liberal experiment gone wrong. The now infamous "Cash for Clunkers" program that we were told by the main stream media was a huge success, has now been demonstrated to be a complete failure and the media is still hiding it.

Yesterday at approximately 4:00pm, Yahoo had an article on its home page, flashing that "Ford sales plunge 5%". That is true, here comes the liberal spin. While it is true that Ford's sales fell 5.1%, General Motors fell, get this 45.1%, that's just slightly higher isn't it? Wait Chrysler didn't want to be out done so they fell 42%. Why do you think we see Ford going down, but not GM or Chrysler? Could it be that Ford did not get bailed out by the government, or maybe that Ford isn't union owned has something to do with it. You wouldn't want to make the liberals look bad would you?

There's more, overall auto sales fell 22.7% from last September and are down 27.4% for the year, despite the government handout. So whats next? Another cash for clunkers bailout? No, Obama being the rocket scientist that he is has a new and better idea. He is spending $23 billion to jump start lower income home ownership programs. Oh great, I seem to remember that the housing bubble is kind of where this started. The government through the Community Reinvestment Act forced banks and other lenders to give loans to unqualified people who ended up not being able to pay for the homes. Hence the collapse.

New job numbers came out today, we seem to have lost another 263,000 jobs, oops. Here's the killer, over 500,000, that's half a million people fell off unemployment last month. Add those poor people back in and you at a neat 17%. But don't worry, Obama's stimulus bill will stop unemployment from going over 8%, the great one has spoken. Other than these small little things, the Cash for Clunkers Program was a great success, just think what he can do with your health care.

Reid, Pelosi & Obama's Secret plan to Pass Health Care - What you need to Know

Senator Harry Reid has a plan or two to get the health care bill passed in the Senate. These plans are a little more sneaky and underhanded than people realize. Yes there is "reconciliation", but he is trying to attach health care to the Tarp Bill revamp which taxes some TARP recipients, this has been side lined for months. If he can do that he thinks he has a way through. Reid understands he can't get 60 votes on an up or down vote which is what most Americans think happens in the Senate. If he gets two committees in the Senate to pass a version of health care he can get it to a floor vote, he hopes to get enough votes to get the bill out to the House. And then have the House vote on what ever the Senate passes so they don't have to come back to a conference committee were it could sink. This way they could send the bill to Obama directly without any review or revisions which he knows again, will sink it.

The House under Pelosi won't vote until the Senate does, they do not want to expose their liberal members to a vote for the bill, if the bill they vote for won't pass the Senate. To put members in a line and make them go on the record to vote could be murder for Democrats in moderate to conservative districts. If the Senate under Reid can pass a bill that can get just enough support in the House to get it across the line, Pelosi will attempt to shield her more vulnerable members. She can let them vote against the bill in hopes voters in their home districts will not hold the passage of the health care bill against them individually. Pelosi needs to try to attempt to protect the Democratic majority, she knows full well they will loose seats, the only question is how many and how far the loses will go. Joe Biden came out last week at a fund raiser and told liberals that if the Democrats loose 30 seats in the House, the agenda he and Obama have for the country is done.

With a recent poll showing senior citizens have only a 16% approval rating for the Obamacare plan, Democrats are trying hard to confuse the issue. The whack job Democrat with the "GOP wants you to die fast"sign is simply trying to counter the Sarah Palin "death panels" message. The simple fact is that liberals and Democrats have lost the battle for the American public. They are well aware that it takes 40 Republican seats being picked up in the House and Pelosi won't be the speaker any more. They also know that several Democratic Senators are suddenly vulnerable including Harry Reid himself. Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas is in trouble, Specter is sunk in Pennsylvania, experts have estimated the GOP could pick up anywhere between 2 and 6 seats. Not enough to swing the majority over, but enough to stop anything crazy Obama and the liberals want.

The country has spoken on this health care issue, and still the Democrats move forward against the will of the people.
