US Rep Democrat Vic Snyder of Little Rock, AR Not Seeking Reelection in 2010 … Another Dem Falls

Another Democrat Bites the Dust …

US Representative Vic Snyder of Little Rock, Arkansas is just the latest Democrat to get out of Dodge rather than face a most certain butt kicking in the 2010 midterm elections. Snyder will not be seeking reelection after serving 6 years as a US Rep citing family reasons.  Of course it could have nothing to do with the current anti-Dem mood in the country and the the fact that he trails Republican opponent Tim Griffin by 17 points.

Vic Snyder is the 11th House Democrat to announce his retirement so far. Depending on what happens with the special Senate election in Massachusetts next week, many more Democrats just might be scurrying for the exits.

U.S. Rep. Vic Snyder of Little Rock distributed an e-mail shortly after 4 p.m. Friday saying that he is not running for re-election this year. He cited family demands. His family grew to four children a year ago with the addition of triplets. His statement is on the jump.

The religious tolerance of the LEFT …

Martha Coakley foolishly attacks Catholics in Massachusetts. Don’t worry Martha, it’s not like Boston is a college town either.

Here is just yet another reason why Democrat Senate candidate Martha Coakley has no business running for the Massachusetts Senate seat. Democrat Martha Coakley attacked Catholics on their faith from an interview yesterday with WBSM radio talk show host Ken Pittman.

From The Catholic News Agency, Mass. Senate candidate’s remarks show threat to Catholics’ freedoms, critics say.

American Voter Buyers Remorse … Majority Would Vote Against Obama

OBABA BUYER’S REMORSE … what is the return policy on Barack Hussein Obama?

After less than one short year in office, actually with the socialism agenda rammed down the throats of American it was long, American voters have buyers remorse with Barack Hussein Obama.

If the election were held today according to The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else.

The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else. Fully 37% say they would definitely cast a ballot against Obama. Meanwhile, just 39% would vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term, and only 23% say they definitely would do so.

Obama’s first year in office has been marked by an unemployment rate that surged to 10%, an increased commitment of troops to Afghanistan and a health care battle that has taken a serious political toll on the WH.

Obama’s approval rating is down to 47%, the poll showed, a 14-point drop since the April survey. 45% disapprove, up 17 points from April. Only 41% say they trust Obama more than Congressional GOPers, while 33% pick the GOP over the WH. That 8-point gap is down from a 21-point edge Obama sported as recently as Sept.

Just 34% say the country is moving in the right direction, down 13 points since April, and 55% say it is off on the wrong track, up 13 points over the same period.

There is a reason why Barack Obama has a running double digit negative rating in the Rasmussen Presidential Daily Tracking poll for 51 straight polling days.

Why should this be surprising when we have a President that has pretty much failed on ever thing, including going against the will of the people on health care? Why did this President make the government run of health care more important than jobs?

• 10% unemployment, 85K more jobs lost in December 2009
• Retail sales unexpectedly fell in December, leaving 2009 with the biggest yearly drop on record.
• New jobless claims rise
• Record year for foreclosures as unemployment rises
  

Obama Makes Back Room “Nontransparent” Deal with Unions On Health Care Cadillac Tax and no CSPAN

Obama makes yet another backroom deal and it was not televised on CSPAN!

Barack Hussein Obama: Read My Lips … No new middle class taxes. So much for “We the People” with Obama it’s about him and his constituents.

I will not increase taxes on any family making under less than $250K a year will see any form of tax increase …  John McCain wants to tax your health care benefits.

Remember OBAMA was supposed to be the most transparent President EVAH!

The Gateway Pundit reminds us of this little time machine moment … from the 2008 Presidential election when Obama said he was against the taxing of Cadillac plans and attack Republican candidate John McCain

The Obama Administration has made yet another back room deal for the terrible pice of health care legislation known as Obamacare. This time it was with Union leaders and Cadillac health care taxes. Or in this case, the Unions’s lack there of of paying the taxes. WHAT YOU DID NOT WATCH IT ON CPAN? ME NEITHER!

Special deals made for union members but not all middle class Americans. How is that Hope & Change feeling now America?

The White House reached a tentative agreement with union leaders early Thursday to tax high-cost insurance plans.

The White House reached a tentative agreement with union leaders early Thursday to tax high-cost insurance plans, officials said, removing one of the major stumbling blocks in the way of a final compromise on comprehensive health care legislation sought by President Barack Obama.

Complete details of the tentative deal were not immediately available, although the White House was expected to present it to senior lawmakers later in the day. Union leaders also were returning to the White House.

Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., who led the opposition to the tax in the House, said the agreement involves several measures that would ease its impact. Among them: excluding the value of dental and vision benefits when applying the tax as well as raising the $23,000 threshold at which it would take effect for families.

Hmm, the problem that the Clintons made in 1993 with Hillary health care is they took all their ideas and people in to a room and closed the door.

However, what do you expect from an Administration that meets on Transparancy, but the meeting is closed. Good grief, you just can’t make this stuff up or trust this administration.

Suffolk University Poll Shocker … Brown Out in Massachusetts Senate Race: Republican Brown 4% Point Lead Over Democrat Martha Coakley, 50%-46%!

WOW A BROWN OUT IS MASSACHUSETTS … 50% – 46%!!!

Has the momentum in the Massachusetts US Senate race for the late Ted Kennedy’s former seat completely overwhelmed the Democrat party and candidate Martha Coakley? Has the pendulum completely shifted in the MA Senate race where Coakley once enjoyed a large double digit lead?

According to a recent Suffolk University Poll shocker, Republican Scott Brown has a 4% point lead over Democrat Martha Coakley. It appears there may be another Tea Party going on in Massachusetts and if Brown pulls off this upset it will be the shot heard round America and the start of a political Revolution.

The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.

From The Cook Report via Michelle Malkin … Mass Senate Race Changed to Toss Up. How mad a piece of legislation is Obamacare? It has a sure Democrat state like Taxachusetts a toss up to fill the former seat of the late Ted Kennedy. That’s how bad a bill it is!

Check out the breakdown of the polling demographics.  Massachusetts is the most BLUE of BLUE states and a Democrat is trailing a Republican? Not only is this unheard of in today’s politics, it should be sending shock waves to every Democrat Senator and House Representative. What does it mean … No Democrat is safe in 2010!!! It appears that Hot Air is also looking at the cross tabs of those polled and stunned at the results as well.

American People Have Learned that Barack Obama was not the Hope & Change they Asked For … Approval Ratings Still Going Down!

American … How is that hope and change treating you today?

How is that transparency doing in those Democrat closed door health care meetings? 2012 is right around the corner and Obama’s Hope and Change has turned into Americans hoping that there will be a change in the White House in 2012.

It is almost the one year mark since Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as President of the United States. Americans voted in the first black President under the political catch phrase of “Hope & Change”.

Looking back on it and where Americans are today, the next to we have an election, the American voter may want to ask for a bit more that just a catch phrase and false promises.

What is striking is that this President and his Administration takes such a “let them eat cake” attitude when it comes to dealing with crisis when they have other previous engagements. Let me just be the first to say that the only saving grace to the horrible earthquake in Haiti and the hundreds of thousands that were affected, hurt and possible killed … is that Barack Hussein Obama was not on vacation in Hawaii when it occurred. Could you imagine the 7.0 magnitude earthquake taking place and Obama waiting 3 or 4 days to address the issue while he instead plays golf! That is what occurred with the underwear Christmas day bomber when he nor his administration could tear them selves away from their vacations.

Vanderbilt – 2010

Obama is good at finding time for basketball,
theater dates, tennis, golf, dinner parties, gym,
travel, Hawaiian vacations, surfing, comedy shows,
TV speeches/campaigning, teleprompter readings,
Oprah, wasting money, raising taxes, opposing
public wishes, imposing control, increasing debt
levels, bowing to the world while apologizing for
America’s greatness, and failing at practically
everything he’s attempted. He is not good at
being honest and open with We the People.

Barack Obama was voted in to office and had the backing of so many people, Democrats, Independents and yes, some Republicans as well. In less than one year Obama finds himself with dismal poll approval ratings across the board.
