Rudy Giuliani: Will He Run for NY Governor … US Senate for NY … Inquiring Minds Want to Know

RUDY … RUDY … RUDY!!!

Rudy Giuliani, will be or won’t he run for NY Governor or will he instead run for the US Senate seat for New York? What ever his choice may be, you can bet that the former NYC Mayor who became America’s Mayor following September 11 will have a great shot of winning for the GOP.

The rumors are ramped in what will be next in the political career of Rudy Giuliani.

The Daily News is reporting that Rudy has decided against running for NY Governor, but instead will strongly consider running for the US Senate seat instead.

However, it is being reported that by a spokeswoman for Rudy Giuliani that the former New York City mayor has not made up his mind about running for governor next year. Rumors, rumors, rumors. Maybe this bit of polling from Rasmussen might sway Rudy, according to the poll Rudy is far ahead in the Senate race as opposed to a virtual tie for the Governorship against Andrew Cuomo.

Obama’s Hope & Change … US National Debt Hits Record High over $12 Trillion … Typical Tax & Spend Liberal

CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN … The US National Debt topped the $12 trillion mark yesterday. That’s 12 trillion with a “T”. It is another record high for the debt and another crowning jewel for Obamanomics.

This latest milestone in the ever-rising journey of the National Debt comes less than eight months after it hit $11 trillion for the first time. The latest high-point is not unexpected, considering the federal deficit for the just-ended 2009 fiscal year hit an all-time high at $1.42-trillion – more than triple the previous year’s record high.

Much of the increase in the deficit and debt is attributed to government spending outpacing revenue – both exacerbated by the recession and the government response to it – including hundreds of billions in bailouts and stimulus spending and tax cuts along with decreased tax revenues due to rising unemployment.

How is that “Hope & Change” looking now America? US National debt now at a record high over $12 trillion … that’s $38,974.34 for every man, woman and child in America.

After all his promises, after all his teleprompter speeches, after all his talk of change, Barack Hussein Obama is nothing more that a super-sized tax and spend liberal. Make that socialist.

40 Year Old Women … No Mammograms For You … Welcome to the Future of Obamacare & Restriction of Health Care

So Sarah Palin was way off base when she mentioned “death panels,” eh?

40 year old women, no soup, um … no mammograms for you!

Be very afraid America … this is no coincidence that such a recommendation came out now as Obama and Democrats try and pass universal healthcare. How do you think that a government run option can afford to pay for 41 million new insured’s, they cut costs by calling screenings or procedures unnecessary. Welcome to the trial balloon birth of rationed health care.

A Government Task Force has stated that self-breast exams do no good and some women don’t need to start getting mammograms until they’re 50. Welcome to the beginning of Obamacare and socialized, government controlled healthcare. This is how it begins, a government task force turning decades old health care breast screening protocol on it’s head.

Shocking recommendations given the American Cancer Society has encouraged women for more than 20 years to do monthly self-exams and start getting routine mammograms in their 40s.

The government task force, which is made up of doctors and scientists, reported getting screened too early causes false alarms and unnecessary biopsies.

Dr. Robert Pulliam, of Professional Medical Ultrasonics in Beckley, said early detection of any form of cancer increases survival rates.

How many woman in their 40’s are alive today because the received a mammograms and had early detection of breast cancer? In this day and age, sadly, pretty much every one knows some one who has had breast cancer. Personally, I think this is appalling. Having had so many relatives and friend’s moms and sisters be diagnosed with breast cancer in their 40’s … I take this personally. This is the slippery slope of health care when a so-called “independent” government task force of doctors try and change what has worked for years. Shame on you! 

In its first reevaluation of breast cancer screening since 2002, the independent government-appointed panel [talk about your oxymorons] recommended the changes, citing evidence that the potential harm to women having annual exams beginning at age 40 outweighs the benefit.

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mc Connell on FNS … Discussing KSM Trial in NYC, Obamacare and Tax Payer Paid for Abortions

Republican Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and had many things to say regarding the Obama policies on trying Khalid Sheik Mohammed in NYC, GITMO prisoners, Obamacare in the Senate and having tax payers pay for abortion. McConnell stated that the Senate will not rush the health care bill.

The following are some Mitch McConnell comments from Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace: (full transcript HERE)

With regards to trying KSM in a civilian court in NYC rather than a military tribunal:

MCCONNELL: Unfortunately, we had that very vote on the Lieberman- Lindsey Graham amendment just a week ago, and 54 Democrats voted opposed, frankly, having the trials down in Guantanamo. So it looks to me like the administration is going to do this. They seem to be sort of hell-bent to do it.

I agree with the family of Daniel Pearl. You know, KSM murdered their son. And they said, “Why in the world would we want to give him the show trial that he desires?”

Liz Cheney on FNS: Whoever Leads GOP in 2012 They Will have to be Able to Undo a lot of the Damage that this President has Done

This morning on Fox News Sunday Liz Cheney spoke out and made some blunt and honest statements regarding the horrendous policies of Barack Obama. It is true, who ever leads the GOP in 2013 will have a plethora of fires to put out caused by the socialist agenda of Barack Obama.

It is only a matter of time though as the Gateway Pundit says before Liz Cheney feels what it means to be “Palinized” by the LEFT. Talking the truth against The Chosen One, Barack Obama means she will be branded an extremist, racist and marginalized.

“In terms of 2012, what ever Republicans takes the mantel of our Party in 2012. You know they’re going to have to be able to address these incredible grave challenges we face as a nation. In my view they will have to be able to undo a lot of the damage that this President has done to our national security, to our economy, to our health care system and to our standing around the world.” (Liz Cheney)

Imagine that Barack Obama … the next GOP President will be inheriting your mess. However, rest assured they will not be passing the buck at every opportunity and blaming the past President instead of pulling up their boot straps and taking responsibility to responsibly help “We the People.”

An Inconvenient Health Care Cost Truth from CMS: Obamacare and Wellness Medicine Programs … In the End, It Cost More

An Inconvenient Health Care Cost Truth …

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of their minions and state run media have said from the beginning that Obamacare healthcare reform would lower health care costs. They also claimed that slashing $500 billion from Medicare would have no effect on seniors. Oh contraire … Seniors and those concerned with rising health care costs, be very afraid.

It won’t cost trillions of dollars and it will reduce costs

However, from CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) comes this “Inconvenient Truth” via The Politico … the legislation the House passed last week would increase costs over the next decade by $289 billion. By 2019, health costs would rise to 21.1 percent of GDP compared to 20.8 under current law. (pdf report HERE)

With the exception of the proposed reductions in Medicare payment updates for institutional providers, the provisions of H.R. 3962 would not have a significant impact on future health care cost growth rates. In addition, the longer-term viability of the Medicare update reductions is doubtful,” the report said.

It will lower costs, not raise them and I am not taking money from seniors, really

In other words, outside of Medicare payment cuts to hospitals, the bill doesn’t curb increasing health care costs. And even the Medicare payment cuts will be difficult to sustain.

The analysis is more bad news for Democrats, who are facing increasing criticism that their reforms don’t do enough to control costs. Republicans released the analysis and jumped on the news.

It would appear that Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama have an Inconvenient Truth of their own … wellness programs cost more than treating the disease. This analysis is from a longstanding independent technical advisor to the Executive Branch and Congress. But I supposed they will be demonized and called a racist for providing bad news against Obama’s healthcare reform policy.

Barack Obama Losing the Independents Vote with his Radical LEFT Agenda … Change No One Wanted to Believe In

As Obama’s poll numbers sink, will The One shift right, or march himself, the Democrat Party and America over the cliff? What do the polls show? There is not one critical problem facing the country on which the president has positive ratings. How ya like that “CHANGE” now?

Barack Obama and Democrats are not in trouble in the polls and in the upcoming 2010 and 2012 elections because Republicans are strongly against Obama and his radical agenda. The Obamamessiah and the Democrat party find them self in trouble because INDEPENDENTS are running away from The One and Democrats as fast as they can. The far LEFT, socialist agenda of Obama is hardly what they voted for.

Barack Obama won the Independent vote 52% to 44% over McCain; however, Obama would be hard pressed to get any where near that Independent vote at the present. In the end, Obama by the numbers is poor all the way around.

The economy is the single most important issue to the American public, yet Obama’s answers have done nothing but drive up the federal deficits to record levels, increase unemployment to over 10% and promise nothing but future taxes. 45% of American voters rate Obama’s performance with the economy as poor.  Little by little, the longer Obama is in office, the more “We the People” do not want to hear that it’s GWB’s fault. Obama owns the economy and it is his to fix. That is why he became President. Ultimately, The buck stops with Obama and the childish blame game must come to an end. Man up, or get out.

The WSJ article suggests that with dipping poll numbers and an increasing unemployment number, that Obama would be wise to shift right. However, Obama continues to ignore the will of the people as he forces through his far left agenda in spite of slipping polls.

Ex-Louisiana US Representative Democrat William Jefferson Sentenced to 13 years in prison in Corruption Case

Former Democrat US Representative William Jefferson was sentenced to 13 years and prison and to ordered Jefferson to forfeit the $470,653.47 for his role in the “most extensive and pervasive pattern of corruption in the history of Congress.”

Former Rep. William Jefferson was sentenced Friday to serve 13 years in prison for what the lead prosecutor described as “the most extensive and pervasive pattern of corruption in the history of Congress.”

While the sentence by federal Judge T.S. Ellis III fell well short of the 27 to 33 years recommended by the government, it is by the far the stiffest jail term ever imposed on a member or former member of Congress for crimes committed while in office.

Jefferson, 62, was found guilty Aug. 6 on 11 charges, including soliciting bribes, depriving citizens of honest service, money laundering and using his office as a racketeering enterprise.  

He was acquitted of five other charges in a case that famously featured the revelation that he had hidden $90,000 in the freezer of his home, marked bills from the FBI that prosecutors said was going to be used as a bribe.

As Michelle Malkin states, “Justice is Serviced”.

Better yet, just call disgraced William Jefferson … “Dollar Bill”.   Everyone remembers this case where $90,000 of cold hard cash was found in the Congress man’s freezer.

 Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption … Is it the Botox that allows Nancy Pelosi to make such comments about the GOP and not look in the Democrat mirror?

Wonder how San Fran Nan feels about Charlie Rangel and her House Ethics?

You will remember that Nancy Pelosi stated that she would have an ethical Congress, not like when Republicans were in charge. Yet, Jefferson was only relieved of his committee assignments until after his trial.

Obamacare: The Government Control Take Over of Health & the Theft of Your Children, Grand Children and Generations to Come

What President, what Congressman, what political party would do this to children and future generations? Who in good conscience would inflict a $1.3 trillion debt on the people in the midst of a recession with over 10% unemployment?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. (US Constitution)

The passage by Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives of the latest version of the governments take over of health care in an attempt to control “We the People” not only is a slap in the face of personal liberties provided by the US Constitution, but also places a debt beyond comprehension to future generations. What happened to our civil liberties?

Hat Tip: Vanderbilt – ‘09

In the process of sacrificing the freedoms of our Country, the Radical Reformers are scrambling to rip apart the vision the Constitution provides for us. To finance their unrealistic attempts to remake America (and perhaps the world) to suit their foolish and peculiar aspirations, generations to come are being willfully robbed of their birthrights. We cannot let these Societal Misfits consume our children’s future by spending them into slavery!

How could a government place such a burden upon its people while forcing them to buy their insurance or fear fines and jail time. This is the same Obama government that refuses to imprison illegals, yet would arrest their own citizens for lack of government controlled insurance?

Even though only 29% of American voters would advise their Congressman to vote for Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi and the left wing radicals in the House did so any ways ramming a world of future debt down the throats of future generations, let alone a bad piece of legislation.  In the end, the vote could hardly be considered bi-partisan as only one RINO voted for Obamacare, the Pelosi edition, while 39 Democrats voted against it.

The cost of this healthcare bill will not only be the destruction of private insurance in the United States and enslaving Americans to a government run and controlled option, but the $1.3 trillion mountain of debt that future generations will never be able to pay off. However, since when does the government ever get the cost of any program correct. Just look at the projected costs of Medicare.

CT Senator Joe Lieberman put it best when he said that he would filibuster the bill and never let it come to a final vote because the cost and debt would create a worse problem than any perceived health care issue.

“The public option plan is unnecessary. It has been put forward I am convinced by people who really want the government to take over all of health insurance.”

Worse than that, we have a problem that is even greater than the health care problem and that is the debt.

“If the public option plan is in there, as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote…

The fact of the matter is that Obamacare will not cut costs, it will not improve insurance, it will not cover all the so-called uninsureds  … but it will cost future generations trillions of dollars for years to come. Obamacare will raise taxes on anything moving. How else does anyone really think this will be paid for?

Only 29% of Voter Would Advise Their Congressman to vote for Obamacare … Down 11% from Last Month

No mandate? The polling trends show that the American people do not want Obamacare and would tell their Congressman so. More bad news for Obama, Reid and Democrats. You push this through and their will be a backlash like has never been seen.

A recent Gallup Poll may be suggesting their is no clear mandate in the health care debate; however, their was more revealing data that came from this poll that was not headlined. After all Obama’s speeches, after all the town hall meetings, after all the Tea Parties and Pelosi ramming through Obamacare along a completely liberal partisan vote in the House … a recent Gallup poll shows that only 29% of American voters would advise their Congressman to vote for Obamacare and the government take over of health care.

29%!!! That is down 11% points from just one month ago. The fact of the matter is that Obama and Democrats continue to refuse to listen to the will of the people.

Americans have moved in a more negative direction on the basic issue of whether a new bill should be passed into law. Thirty-eight percent now say they would advise their member of Congress to vote against a new healthcare bill this year, while 29% would advise their member to vote for it, and about a third have no opinion. When those with no opinion are asked which way they lean, the verdict becomes 48% “against,” and 43% “for.” Both of these results are more negative than those from early October.
