RUT-ROH … Dem Congressman Barney Franks Present During Pot Bust at James Ready’s home in Ogunquit, ME

FRANKS REEFER MADNESS …

This is rich … Massachusetts US Representative Barney Franks was present at a police pot bust at the home of  James Ready’s home in Ogunquit, ME, according to reports. Oh, by the way, the bust for possession of drugs took place in August, 2007.

FOX25 has learned that Congressman Barney Frank was present during a marijuana arrest at James Ready’s home in Ogunquit, Maine.  Ready is well-known for his relationship with Congressman Frank.

According to a police report, police charged Ready with marijuana possession, cultivation and use of drug paraphernalia in August of 2007.  Ready admitted to civil possession and paid a fine.  The remaining charges were dismissed in 2008.

Sources tell FOX25 that when Frank was questioned he told police that he did not live in the house and that he only smoked cigars.

Ogunquit, ME eh, lol. Barney Franks told police he was smoking something else.

However, what is more telling of this as stated by Jammie Wearing Fool is how exactly is Frank’s present at a police drug bust and this story never hit the news? This story is two years old. Imagine if it was a drug bust with Republicans present?

‘We the People” Rally Against Obamacare in Washington … Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill

President Barack Obama … it looks like “We the People” will not go away. No Obama, these people are fired up and they don’t have to be prompted by a stupid tag line. There is a tsunami of anger and contempt forming over the policies and the manner in which Obama, Pelosi and Reid are governing … look out moderates and Blue Dog Democrats the waters have not crested yet …

“Kill the bill! Kill the bill! Kill the bill!” the crowd replied.

Tea Party goer’s crash Pelosi’s healthcare party. As the Politico stated, Tea partiers descend on Capitol Hill and although they hold no seat in Congress, they plan to make their voices heard and their Congressman held accountable.

A plan first hatched and heralded on FOX by iconic conservative Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) grew over the weekend as she e-mailed with a handful of colleagues. By the time activists started arriving at the foot of the Capitol around 8:30 a.m., it was clear no Republican leader could stay away.

Minority Leader John Boehner, Republican Whip Eric Cantor and Conference Chairman Mike Pence all spoke.

On Thursday, 10,000 people showed up to rally against Obamacare. CAN YOU HEAR THEM NOW!!! Fox News is reporting on the rally against Obamacare and Pelosi’s attempt to drive this terrible bill down the throats of America.

As a crowd of protesters shouted “kill the bill,” House Republicans on Thursday rallied opposition against the Democrats’ health care legislation, decrying the bill on the steps of Congress in a last-ditch bid to derail or at least delay the legislation heading toward a possible vote Saturday.

Thousands of protesters arrived by bus for the rally, which the GOP is calling an emergency “House Call.” The event drew the conservative “tea party” activists but unlike past rallies was officially sanctioned by House Republicans.

Republicans want those who attend to track down their elected representatives in Congress and put pressure on them to think twice about voting for the more than $1 trillion health care overhaul pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Rush Limbaugh: “Scozzafava Has Screwed Every RINO in the Country”

OMG … This is too funny and dead on satire.

Rush says that “Scozzafava has screwed ever RINO in the country. We can say that she is guilty of wide spread beastiality”.  So-called Republican candidate for NY-23 endorses the Democrat? Beware of RINO’s in liberal clothing.

 H/T: Gateway Pundit

2010 is going to be a nightmare for PETA. Two animals might become extinct, RINO’s and Blue Dog Democrats.

Pelosi is going to kill off Blue Dog Democrats and Conservatives are going to finally get rid of RINO’s.

As Voters Go to Polls in NY-23, Siena Poll Shows Hoffman Ahead 41% to 36% over Owens with 18% Undecided

Today, all eyes will be on NY-23 …

It’s finally Tuesday and voter will go to the polls in New York to determine who will be the new US Rep from the 23rd Congressional District. According to the final Siena poll, Doug Hoffman has a 5% point lead over Democrat Bill Owens. The real question will be how the undecided voters will vote.

Siena New York 23rd Congressional District Poll:
Hoffman Leads Owens 41-36%; Undecided up to 18%
Hoffman Leads in South; Owens Leads in East; Tied in West
Favorability Ratings: Hoffman Up; Owens Slips; Biden Good with Dems

Loudonville, NY. On the eve of Election Day, Conservative Doug Hoffman has opened up a five point lead over Democrat Bill Owens in the race for the 23rd Congressional District. Republican Assembly member Dede Scozzafava still gets six percent support, but since her decision to suspend her campaign and support Owens, the number of undecided voters has doubled from nine percent to 18 percent, according to a new Siena (College) Research Institute poll of likely voters.

See the full polling results HERE.

Hopefully, the NY-23 voters will teach Barack Obama and Joe Biden a lesson. VP Joe Biden stumped for the Dem candidate Owens yesterday and  challenged Republican voters in New York’s 23rd congressional district to teach conservative “absolutists” a lesson.  What lesson is that? Liberals need not apply to the Republican party? Dede Scozzafava proved Conservatives correct after she dropped out of the race and then backed the Democrat Owens.

Like much of everything else, Biden gets it wrong. The lesson to be learned here is that of the Republican power elite, not the voters. NY-23 is a microcosm of Republican voters being upset with the Republican party leaders. Republicans want Republican candidates. It’s as simple as that. The hand picked Scozzafava was no moderate, she was a liberal and had no place in the party.

Ha, ha, ha … does CNN know something we don’t? They referred to Biden as former VP. All in due time, that will come soon enough in 2012. Too bad the rally was a half empty one. Way to draw the big crowd VP Biden.

There certainly is a lesson to be learned here by Republicans in NY-23. Nominate and vote for real Republican candidates. Scozzafava was not a moderate, she was more liberal than half the NY legislature.

Exit question to Republicans and Independents who want change … How could anyone vote for a candidate like Owens or follow the backing of Scozzafava who would both side with uber liberal Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi?

Think about that when casting your ballot today. Hoffman is the only one who will “Just Say No” to Pelosi.

NY-23 Congressional Race: Public Policy Polling Reports that Doug Hoffman Leads Democrat Bill Owens by 15 points

A day after Republican Dede Scozzafava withdrawal from the NY-23 special election Congressional race and there is some interesting polling numbers. Conservative Doug Hoffman according to Public Policy Polling has a 15 point lead over Democrat candidate Bill Owens.

Here are some interesting facts from our unweighted numbers so far:

-In a three way contest Doug Hoffman leads Bill Owens by 19 points. In a two way contest Hoffman leads Owens by 15 points. So the Dede Scozzafava withdrawal and endorsement will probably tighten the race some but not nearly enough.

-58% of Republicans think that Scozzafava’s a liberal and that was obviously before her endorsement today.

-The Rush Limbaugh effect- Hoffman has a 79 point lead with Rush listeners while Owens has a 6 point lead with people who don’t listen to the show.

There is no doubt that the numbers might tighten after Republican Dede Scozzafava endorsed of all people the Democrat, but it may not be enough to sway the votes.

However, do not rest on your laurels, get out and volunteer for Doug Hoffman and show both parties that a third party candidate is worth backing when they are the one that “We the People” would have voted for in a primary, rather than a hand picked liberal in Republican clothing.

Country star John Rich headlines Watertown “get-out-the-vote” rally Monday night for Hoffman! Don’t forget to VOLUNTEER … don’t forget to VOTE!!!

UPDATE I: Conference Call with Hoffman Campaign

Matt Burns, a former spokesperson for Dede Scozzafava.  Stacy McCain and Eric Odom, who first broke the news of Scozzafava’s withdrawal from the race yesterday, joined as “special guests” of the call.

Burns said he didn’t relish being on the defensive from conservative bloggers, but that he came back to NY-23 to elect a Republican.  He worked hard for Scozzafava, and at the end, she withdrew in order to keep the district Republican.  Burns apparently got surprised by Scozzafava’s decision today, and he wanted to stress that only one person in the race would now be a vote against Nancy Pelosi, and that is Doug Hoffman.

NY-23: What Does Every Good Republican Do When they Bow Out of Race … Scozzafava Endorses Democrat Owens

Brutus in Republicans clothing …

Dede Scazzafava, former GOP candidate for the NY-23 special election has officially thrown her support to who else … the Democrat candidate Bill Owens. What a shock, Scazzafava who was endorsed and took campaign funds from the RNC throws in with the Democrat after talking to Chucky Schumer. One might ask why she was talking with Chucky in the first place. The Watertown Daily News reported the following:

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., was among those who urged Dierdre K. Scozzafava to endorse Democratic congressional candidate William L. Owens, the senator’s spokesman said Saturday.

The spokesman, Maxwell Young, said the senator called a number of north country political leaders after Ms. Scozzafava suspended her campaign and had more than one conversation with the Republican candidate ahead of her announcement. He said the senator also called other Democratic leaders about the situation, including White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Mr. Owens said he was “honored” by the endorsement.

“Over the course of her career, Dede has always committed to serving the people of Upstate New York before serving a partisan agenda,” he said in a statement. “Now more than ever we need bipartisan solutions to help bring jobs to Upstate New York to get our economy back on track and move our country forward. Those are the kinds of priorities I will fight for in Congress because that’s the kind of leadership Upstate New York needs right now.”

As Dump Dede stated, is anyone really shocked?

BREAKING: So-Called Republican Scozzafava Suspends, Now Drops Out of NY-23 Race … Conservative Doug Hoffman gets RNC Endorsement

BREAKING …  SCOZZAFAVA DROPS OUT OF NY-23 HOUSE RACE!!!

The 23rd Congressional District of New York state House race has been one of the most watched political races in recent memory in an off, off election year. Republican Dede Scozzafava announced Saturday that she has suspended operations, dropped and out the race and released all of her supporters.

Scozzafava Out of Tuesday’s Special Election

Scozzafava complete statement can be read HERE.

Ms. Scozzafava told the Watertown Daily Times that Siena Research Institute poll numbers show her too far behind to catch up - and she lacks enough money to spend on advertising in the last three days to make a difference. Mr. Owens has support from 36 percent of likely voters in the poll, with Mr. Hoffman garnering 35 percent support. Ms. Scozzafava has support from 20 percent of those polled.

A recent Siena Poll made put Ms. Scozzafava in third place with only 20%, behind both Owens and Conservative Hoffman who were in a dead heat.

The poll, which tapped 704 likely voters via telephone from Tuesday to Thursday, suggests Republican Dede Scozzafava is too far back to win.

Mr. Owens has support from 36 percent of likely voters, with Mr. Hoffman garnering 35 percent support. Ms. Scozzafava has support from 20 percent of those polled.

WAKE UP REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!

Republicans do not want RINO’s or libs wearing Republicans masks to be running in political races. REPUBLICANS want REPUBLICANS to run. The exit question to this race is seconded by the Q and O Blog, in that how out of touch is the RNC that they chose Scozzafava as their candidate. It was “We the Republican People” that rose up against this outrage and back the conservative candidate Hoffman. This is a huge win for Conservatives and puts the RNC on notice for 2010 and 2012.

Let this be a shot across the bow to Republicans and the RNC. Just because you have an “R” in front of your name does not mean that we will support or vote for you. How will Scozzafava’s leaving the race affect Tuesday’s House race?

Town Hall.com has Gingrich’s tweet for the conservative Hoffman’s support. Better late than never, Newt endorses Hoffman. This will haunt Newt for years to come as it perfectly points out the flaw with “Inside the Beltway” Republicans in that they back people they think can win vs. Real Republican candidates. In the immortal words of Bruce Willis (John McClane) from Die Hard … Welcome to the Party, Pal!!! Conservatives 4 Palin points out that Huckaby has jumped on the bandwagon as well.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who came under fire from some conservatives for endorsing Dede Scozzafava in next week’s special Congressional election in New York, is now backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.

 RNC now backs Conservative Hoffman.

Fox News Confronts US Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) … Awfully Tight Lipped for a Big Mouth

Talks about turnabout is fair play. Griff Jenkins turns the tables and asks outspoken, bombshell throwing, attention seeking Democrat US Rep Alan Grayson what he meant by calling  Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “K Street whore.” The result, a tight lipped Grayson running off refusing to answer the question. Typical Coward.

But Alan Grayson is not a media whore, right?

What Obscene Insurance Profits? Maybe Obama Pay Czar Should Freeze Congress Pay First Before Tarp Bail Out Companies

Who should be demonized for their pay? Hint: It might be those screaming the loudest.

Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and their minions have attacked the health care insurance industry for making obscene profits at the expense of the people. Really? Where is the data that backs up the Democrats demonization of insurance carriers? It would appear that some simple fact checking would dispel the myths and propaganda being put out by those that support Obamacare. They need to demonize someone, who cares about facts.

In the health care debate, Democrats and their allies have gone after insurance companies as rapacious profiteers making “immoral” and “obscene” returns while “the bodies pile up.”

But in pillorying insurers over profits, the critics are on shaky ground. Ledgers tell a different reality.

Health insurance profit margins typically run about 6 percent, give or take a point or two. That’s anemic compared with other forms of insurance and a broad array of industries, even some beleaguered ones.

Profits barely exceeded 2 percent of revenues in the latest annual measure. This partly explains why the credit ratings of some of the largest insurers were downgraded to negative from stable heading into this year, as investors were warned of a stagnant if not shrinking market for private plans.

Check out some more of the factual numbers. Will Obama and the Democrats be demonizing them next? On the hit list next shall be the following as they dared make a profit: Tupperware Brands, 7.5 percent; Yahoo, 5.9 percent; Hershey, 6.1 percent; Clorox, 8.7 percent; Molson Coors Brewing, 8.1 percent; construction and farm machinery, 5 percent; Yum Brands (think KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell), 8.5 percent.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi Unfavorable Rating at 58%

Before Obamacare is even rammed down the throats of Americans against their will, Democrat Speaker of the House finds herself with a 58% unfavorable rating. 58%!!! Blue dog Democrats, do you really want to do the bidding of a San Francisco liberal who is nearing 60% unfavorable? The only other person close to Pelosi’s high unfavorable is Democrat Senate majority leader Harry Reid at 45%.

Despite months of haggling over health care reform, voters continue to view leaders in Congress in the same light. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains the most well known – and most disliked – of the legislature’s top leaders.
