Another opportunity...missed

Certainly, someone has said this. It just seems like I've been really unplugged the past several weeks with work and family and stuff--but surely, someone has told the Republican party what a great opportunity they're about to piss away.

Everyone is healthcare crazy right now--Obama and the Dems are trying to play the typical, left-wing fascist by shoving something down our throats that we don't necessarily want and the Republicans are sitting back, grinning like fat cats every time a town hall turns into a "let's lynch our elected official," gathering (most should be lynched deservedly--with, our without, the healthcare debate). It's a mess.

Out of chaos, you'd think that some order would emerge. You would THINK that the Republican party who have a lot of guys with "M.D." before their Rs would have seen this opportunity and run with it. So far, I haven't heard it. I'm talking about an alternative to what the Dems are proposing.

It doesn't even have to be "comprehensive healthcare reform." A sensible start will do. Certainly with all the public squawking, figuring out what we need, right now, should not be an exercise in mental agility. And ya know, tweaking the healthcare system--for the good--is a complicated process, so let's not get in a hurry. But let's make a start.

And when the left says "no," to commonsense reforms (because they come from Republicans), they'll show themselves to be what they really are--the bad guys in all this mess.

Just as an FYI, Louisiana has THREE medical doctors in our Congressional contingent--that's a pretty good ratio for a "backwoods" state, don't you think? If the notion strikes, write or call Dr. Bill Cassidy, Dr. Charles Boustany or Dr. John Fleming and tell them to get on the stick crafting an alternative to the Nazi crap the Left is putting out!!

I know what side of the fence Facebook is on.

Since they chose to remove my group "Henry Louis Gates is a common thug," and not even have the decency to site specific examples as to WHY my group violated their Terms of Service.

I think it's because Facebook is run by those who would describe themselves as liberals--which really means that they know better than everyone else and don't have to explain anything to anyone.

Now, I fully recognize the fact that I am using Facebook at the mercy of those who OWN Facebook and, since it's their property, they're free to do as they please. However, a quick search of political groups on Facebook finds that there are far more that could be described as "left leaning" than those with bends to the right. This leads me to believe that my group was dismantled because I was not very kind to the president or "Dr." Gates. Do dear in mind that I didn't attack Gates or the pres, didn't wish them ill and didn't write anything that wasn't either the truth, or my opinion, or a fact which I felt adequately supported my opinion...I even allowed left-wing Obama worshippers to come on their and spout off--for no reason other than it was fun shooting them down.

I think the "Facebook" team gets the Who's a Douche award for the week....

Smart guys can be really stupid, as evidenced by the protagonist in the following article:

If you feel compelled to go to the top of a ten story building to collect your thoughts AND you have a degree in mechanical engineering, you should know how bad gravity can be if you get too close to the edge.

Call me insensitive, but I really don't have sympathy for those lacking in the common sense department.

Fellow Louisiana Taxpayers:

From a friend of mine who's an astute observer of Senator Landrieu...and not because she has a nice ass or anything....

Fellow Louisiana Taxpayers:

The Senate voted last night, 60-37, to continue the “Cash for Clunkers” program.

However, one important amendment, which could have made the continuation of this program much more palatable for the U.S. taxpayers, was rejected.

LA Senator David Vitter offered an amendment to provide a real termination date for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), which is the $700 billion financial bailout passed last Fall, with the support of then-President George Bush and Congressional leadership of both parties. The legislation, which introduced socialism into our banking system, provided for the Treasure-Secretary to have the authority to extend the bailout for another two years after the 2009 termination date.

Back then, Sen. Mary Landrieu, who was in the middle of a re-election campaign, bragged about standing up for LA taxpayers and voting AGAINST the bailout. She sent out press releases.

However, last night, Senator Landrieu voted AGAINST Vitter’s amendment to repeal the extension power and set the real termination date of financial bailouts to this year.

The measure failed 41-56, with three Democrats voting for ending the bailout. But Senator Landrieu voted to continue throwing out taxpayer money.

Mary Landrieu…claiming to stand up for taxpayers of Louisiana and votes our wishes during re-election season, but continues to put the screws to us the other 5 years.

Senator Landrieu’s office numbers:
