Lindsey Graham on NY-23 … If the RINO Fits, Wear It … How About Too Far LEFT Gutless?

A RINO TOO FAR … When is a RINO nothing more than a LIBERAL in disguise?

The misguided and gutless Republican Senator of South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, warns Republicans not to go too far right? This is the lesson that you learned from NY-23? Are you kidding? The lesson learned is to never have the Republican Party sell it’s soul and nominate a far left liberal. Stop confusing the issue Graham. Republicans have no issue with moderates, hell you were elected. Scozzafava was no moderate.

“To those people who are pursuing purity, you’ll become a club not a party,” Graham told POLITICO in the Capitol Wednesday. “Those people who are trying to embrace conservatism in a thoughtful way that fits the region and the state and the district are going to do well. Conservativism is an asset. Blind ideology is not.”

A note to Lindsey Graham … NY-23’s Scozzafava was not a RINO, she was a bed wetting liberal. SHE WAS NOT A MODERATE!!! She was a LIBERAL in wolf’s clothing. Case and point when she dropped out and backed the Democrat. Does the Republican powers that be and the brain child Senator fro SC think that Scozzafava would have ever voted with the Republicans? HARDLY! She probably if elected as a Republican would have voted for Pelosi as Speaker of the House.

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.

Senate Majority Leader Democrat Nevada Senator in Real Trouble in 2010 Reelection Bid to Republicans Lowden & Tarkanian

Not just one, but two Republican challengers would beat Reid for the Nevada Senate seat.

Where are those Barack Hussein Obama Nobel Peace Prize winning coattails?

How much trouble is incumbent Democrats Senate Majority leader Harry Reid in? Nevada voters are ready to throw the bum out and replace him with either Republican, former GOP party official Sue Lowden or real estate developer Danny Tarkanian. Reid’s insistence on pushing a government run public option in the Obamacare bill will all but provide the broom that sweeps the top Democrat Senator out of Washington, DC. Let alone the grim economic outlook for Nevada as the unemployment rate in Nevada is only second to Michigan’s 15%.

Lowden and Tarkanian are in a statistical tie atop a list of nine primary candidates, according to the survey of Nevada registered voters.

The poll by Washington, D.C.-based Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. shows 23 percent of Republicans favored Lowden to 21 percent for Tarkanian with 44 percent undecided.

Though respondents can’t decide whom they want to win the Republican primary, they’re certain they don’t support Reid, the Senate majority leader seeking his fifth consecutive six-year term.

In the latest poll, 38 percent of voters viewed Reid favorably compared to 50 percent with an unfavorable view. As Weasel Zippers puts it, Reid is in deep doo-doo. Well, a bit edited, but that was their intent. Yes Zip, there are many having to clean the drool from their keyboards if this Republican win comes to fruition.

Republican challenger Danny Tarkanian can he seen HERE at the American Liberty Rally in TN.

 “We have a ‘Harry’ problem in Washington, DC and its going to be my duty to get that problem out of DC and send it back to Nevada to stay there”

Senate & House, Vote for Obamacare at Your Own Risk … 54% Favor Middle Class Tax Cuts Over Spending on Health Care

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it is socialized government controlled health care on its way to single payer health care system and a tax hike to pay for it.

The Democrats and Senator Baucus can spin the healthcare legislation anyway they want it, the American People do not want any part of it. “We the People” do not want new spending on a total overhaul of the healthcare system that will do more damage than good. “We the People” will not tolerate health care disguised as “a tax hike dressed in a lab coat”.

A new Rasmussen poll shows that 54% of American voters favor a middle class tax cuts over new spending on health care. What is interesting is this poll is identical to how the American people felt back in August, prior to Congress going on break. Nothing has changed. We the People reject the socialized healthcare spin.

But a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters continue to favor middle class tax cuts over spending more money for health care reform.

Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters say new spending for health care reform is more important. But 54% rate middle class tax cuts as the priority over more health care spending. Thirteen percent (13%) aren’t sure.

Trouble in Democratic Paradise: Speaker Pelosi’s Eye Roll When Harry Reid Touches Her and Lies

Now this is priceless … How do you really feel San Fran Nan?

Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will never confuse being “touched by an Angel” with being touched by Democrat Majority leader, Nevada Senator Harry Reid.

Wow, this little diddy has all the looks of that uncomfortable moment of a blind date or the creepy, older, touchy-feely uncle giving a hug. The body language and facial expression on Pelosi is priceless. The eyeroll is even more amazing when considering Botox.

Pelosi insisted Wednesday that it wasn’t so, telling POLITICO that she was “not upset,” adding: “I don’t know where you would have heard such a thing.”

That Didn’t Take Long … Minnesota Senator Al Franken has 41% Approval Rating

Wow, that didn’t take long for Minnesota to figure out they made a colossal mistake in electing SNL funny man, Al Franken. Only 41% of Minnesota voters think Franken is doing a good or excellent job. Looks like the jokes on you Minnesota. After three months in office, nearly one-third of voters say Franken is performing poorly. This is going to be a long six years

Democrat Al Franken has been a U.S. senator for less than three months, but 41% of Minnesota voters think he is doing a good or excellent job.

The latest Rasmussen Reports finds that 31% of voters in the state say Franken, who narrowly defeated Republican incumbent Norm Coleman in a lengthy statewide recount, is performing his new job poorly.

Maybe the next time there is an election, all individuals will take as much thought into the voting booth as they do for voting for American Idol.

The Nut has Been Cracked: Senate Votes to Cut Off Federal Funding for ACORN

ACORN’s excellent adventure, this is going to leave a mark.

What a difference a week makes as a community of corruption is exposed.

The US Senate has voted to defund ACORN housing as The Johanns Amendment # 2355 to H.R. 3288 passed by a margin of 83 to 7. As stated at Michelle Malkin, “Johanns cited the BigGovernment.com sting videos as evidence that ACORN cannot be trusted with government money.”

Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) introduced an amendment to the HUD and Transportation appropriation bill to strip ACORN of all federal funding. As stated by Hot Air, a week ago this amendment wouldn’t have gotten the amendment to the floor. However, that was before BigGovernment.com released not one, not two, but three video exposing ACORN and their child prostitution supporting ways. Andrew Breitbart has also promised more.

Here are the seven Senators that are against an amendment that would punish an organization that is pro-child prostitution, whoring and pimping. NICE!

Democrat Incumbent US Senator Chris Dodd Still in Trouble in Reelection Bid in Connecticut against Republican Challengers

Another long time Incumbent CT US Senator Chris Dodd fins himself in a real reelection battle in the the Nutmeg State. A recent Rasmussen poll has in under 50% against all Republican challengers; however, against former Congressman Rob Simmons, Dodd fins himself behind 49% to 39%

Chris Dodd is not laughing now as he sees his poll numbers

Longtime Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, tarnished by last year’s financial blow-up, continues to struggle as he prepares for a reelection bid in 2010.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone poll finds that Republican challenger Rob Simmons leads Dodd 49% to 39% in an early look at next year’s potential match-up. Five percent (5%) say they’d prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are not sure.

There is no doubt that Dodd is in some real trouble, Diver Down says The Next Right. Once again another Dem incumbent finds them self in some serious reelection trouble with no Obama coattails to be found.

The Daily Kos can shamefully refer to the Rasmussen poll all they want as GOP-leaning, the fact of the matter Scott Rasmussen is the best in the business as gets it right. When all other polls are skew sampling, the Rasmussen report has nailed many of the elections when all other bias polls did not even come close.
