This very well may be one of the reasons I refuse to call myself a mainstream Republican. Joe Knollenberg, a Republican congressman, believes for some strange reason that we are not a representative democracy anymore. He also seems to forget where all the money comes from, us! He tells Niel Cavuto "It's not your money, It belongs to Congress".

This week the newly launched website by John Ziegler came under some fire. His website is How Obama Got Elected, which demonstrated just how ignorant some of the Obama voters were. Here is a response from Ziegler himself:

While I am gratified that hundreds of thousands of people have viewed (and throughly enjoyed) the youtube video that I created for www.howobamagotelected.com I have been distressed by the general nature of the liberal response (just go to the comments section of the video and see for yourself!).

While I guess I should not have expected much from the followers of a false Messiah virtually installed by an adoring media, even I have been a bit taken aback by the absurdity of much of the reaction to the video and the Zogby poll that I commissioned.

One of the charges to Ziegler is quite surprising, well not really in today's world. That he is a racist for doing the poll in the first place. Talk about crazy, it has nothing to do with race but yet they continue to want to put race in the picture to make someone look evil for challenging "the one."

In a video interview on Hannity and Colmbs Ziegler offered a double or nothing deal to anyone willing to recreate the same poll for McCain voters if they can get the same results. He also offered to pay the costs invovled, I would like to see this happen. Of course no one will because they will sorely lose.

It is interesting how the Obama supporters can be such sore, winners. You won, he is our president, if someone wants to do a documentary let them. 

I think this bets fits into the phrase "the truth hurts."

You heard it right, Vice President Dick Cheney and a host of other public officials were indicted yesterday in Texas. For what you ask?

Well lets take a look:

Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have been indicted on state charges involving federal prisons in a South Texas county that has been a source of bizarre legal and political battles under the outgoing prosecutor.

Guerra [the outgoing prosecutor] said the prison-related charges against Cheney and Gonzales are a national issue and experts from across the country testified to the grand jury.

Cheney is charged with engaging in an organized criminal activity related to the vice president's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds financial interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers. It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees because of his link to the prison companies.

Gonzales' attorney, George Terwilliger III, said in a written statement, "This is obviously a bogus charge on its face, as any good prosecutor can recognize." He said he hoped Texas authorities would take steps to stop "this abuse of the criminal justice system."

I tend to agree with Gonzales' attorney on the statement that it is obviously a bogus charge. I would defiantly like to see more information about the indictment. 

It is interesting how they are charging the Vice President with what is basically organized crime. Most of all I am curious how they will try to put assault charges on the vice president. It is my understanding that to assault someone you would have to physically be there, correct? Honestly, even if someone did assault someone (and that is pure speculation) there is no way to legally pin that on the Vice President.

I love how certain prosecutors try to bring such frivolous lawsuits to court. It is a waste of our hard earned tax dollars.

I was browsing around on the local news sites like I always do and found an interesting article on CNN. It describes a recent survey done by the Physicians' Foundation; half said they would leave if their was an alternative.

Check it out:

U.S. shortage of 35,000 to 40,000 primary care physicians by 2025 was predicted at last week's American Medical Association annual meeting.

In the survey, the foundation sent questionnaires to more than 270,000 primary care doctors and more than 50,000 specialists nationwide.

Of the 12,000 respondents, 49 percent said they'd consider leaving medicine. Many said they are overwhelmed with their practices, not because they have too many patients, but because there's too much red tape generated from insurance companies and government agencies.

 Now of course this got me thinking about the idea of socialized or a federal health care program. What would this do to our future doctors? Regardless of their true ambitions doctors have to make money, it is a business like any other on that level. If we move to a plan such as that, how do you think the doctors would feel? They have already said it is too much work dealing with insurance companies and government agencies. What do you think would happen if the government stepped in and said "hey now you can't just charge anything, we will tell you what you will take, and oh yeah by the way you can not refuse anyone?"

Well if your a person of logic and sense, the answer is of course not. Obviously not everyone feels that way though; so John Zogby decided to find out just what people knew.

First off read this:

UTICA, New York -- Just 2% of voters who supported Barack Obama on Election Day obtained perfect or near-perfect scores on a post election test which gauged their knowledge of statements and scandals associated with the presidential tickets during the campaign, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows.

So it looks like only 2% really did the due diligence to make sure they are voting for the person who stands for what they do. Now that my friend is sad.

So today Maryland Democrat Sen. Barbara Mikulsk pitched yet another temporary stimulus ploy. A short term tax incentive to buy cars. Way to go, that will help Americans who are already in debt and losing their mortgages; get more in debt! Notice that I do not say losing their homes, because they can easily rent with the money they are now saving by not having a mortgage. It's not like they are going to be on the streets.

Okay so the "war on drugs" is not exactly, a winning war. It has not really done anything but waste our tax dollars so far. Drug dealers are still on the streets, and drug use has not exactly declined now has it. However, there are certain times when I think we should be stricter with drug issues. For instance, I do not think someone who has small amounts of marijuana should have mandatory jail time. On the other side, I do think we should punish those who attempt to deal drugs near our school, and it should be a tough punishment.

Last week we had noted that Obama is considering continuing the Bush interrogation tactics, but now even his supporters and the harshest critics of President Bush are moving to that light as well. Now that I must say is truly shocking.

This is a story about a person who I think has true courage and strength.

“I’ll continue my schooling even if they try to kill me. I won’t stop going to school.”

This is why we are fighting for freedom, this is why we will prevail. What we are doing in Afghanistan and Iraq is for the common good of those people who have been victimized for so long. We are fighting so that Shamisa will have the same rights and freedoms that we all share in this great nation, the United States of America.
