Conservative Political Action Conference Draws Major Leaders From The Right

Just hours before President Barack Obama urged lawmakers to set aside partisan bickering for the good of the country, Sen. Ron Johnson was again accusing Senate Democrats of fiscal negligence and threatening to gum up the legislative process if the chamber failed to pass a budget by April 15.

Johnson, R-Oshkosh, joined a group of GOP lawmakers Tuesday to mark the 1,000th day in which the Senate has not passed a budget resolution. The last time the chamber passed one was in 2009.

Johnson said it was unconscionable that Democrats had not passed a budget plan as required by law, given the nation’s dire fiscal standing with a debt of more than $15 trillion.

“This is a national scandal,” Johnson said. “It is imperative that we get our federal budget under control. And the first step, the minimum thing that Congress should do, is follow the law that it passed to put discipline on itself and pass a budget.”

It’s good someone in the Republican minority in the Senate has a pair of gonads anyway. Maybe Sen Johnson could take Harry Reid out behind the woodshed and clean his clock too, it’s been needed for a long time.

We have hope for change. The judge in Georgia just ruled by default that Obummer does not meet the qualifications as a natural born citizen and should not ppear on the Georgia ballot.

Now the rest of the states need to grow a pair and follow Georgia’s lead.

When did that ruling come down ?
The last thing i read about an hour ago it was still pending.

Watch Obama quash that ruling, too. Worse yet, let’s see what becomes of Judge Mahili. Obama will follow Clinton’s lead to get what he wants.

The jerks in Washington keep trying to put band aids on the economy, but do not correct the source of the problem! A trillion here, a trillion there, a trillion everywhere – bankrupting our country!
Since demographics is what drives the economy, I believe that biggest source of the problem is the abomination of law passed by bigoted, immoral, liberal supreme court justices called Row v. Wade. Since the passing of this law FROM THE BENCH, over 50 million little, defenseless babies had their heads crushed and their brains sucked out just because women could not keep their legs crossed, because some found that having a baby was inconvenient or because Planned Parenthood talked people into abortion in order to increase their profits. (They should NOT receive federal funds.)
Roe v. Wade was passed in January 1973, so those aborted would have been 0 to 39 years old. They would have required that schools were built, roads were updated, required a larger energy grid and that at least 20 million more homes/apartments were built. They would have gotten married, had children, raised families, bought a house or rented an apartment, bought clothes, bought food, bought refrigerators, computers, cell phones, books, washers, dryers, dish washers, furniture and many more products that would have caused more factories to be built to manufacture these products and more stores to sell them in.
Now, because of Roe v. Wade, we have had over three years of recession with no sign of an end. In fact, we are looking forward to ten to twenty years of more of the same.
To fix the problem, we need to reverse Roe v. Wade and it would help to instill better morals in all our citizens. GOD is punishing us through the use of simple economics. The application of Keynesian economics IS NOT the solution!

Dear Baby,
by Mallory Page Lowe,

Although I cannot see you,
I still know you are there.
You are warm and snug inside me,
and require gentle care.

Although I cannot hold you,
or give you a hug goodnight.
I feel you move inside me
and know that you are alright.

Although I cannot kiss you,
or show you how I feel.
I know you share my feelings
and that our bond is real.

…..you are with me all the time
and always on my mind.
Already I have fallen in love
with my precious gift from up above.

I don’t think Senator Johnson will be able to gum up the works because the R’s are the minority in the Senate.
Unless, maybe he will start a filibuster on whatever legislation hairy reed brings to the floor.

Thank you Rep Johnson, we need more of you to help us hold there feet to the fire. And to know that some one is listening and understands what is going on. Enough is enough.

These guys all sound like Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles. hurump,hurump,hurump! Trying to make it look like they are really doing something. All hot air and sound bites. Meaningless and futile threats.

Finally. A Republican with balls. I was beginning to think they were extinct.
