Kerry, Obama, Biden attack electorate

“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.” – John Kerry

Vice President Joe Biden recently urged the party’s base to “stop whining” and “buck up.”  President Obama also urged the party to “buck up.”

Wiretap charges dismissed in videotaping of trooper

A judge threw out criminal charges Monday against a Maryland man who videotaped his traffic stop by a plainclothes state trooper and posted the video on YouTube.

Harford County Circuit Judge Emory A Plitt Jr wrote in his ruling: “In this rapid information technology era in which we live, it is hard to imagine that either an offender or an officer would have any reasonable expectation of privacy with regard to what is said between them in a traffic stop on a public highway.”

Obama argues Assassination of United States Citizens is state secret.

“The Obama administration urged a federal judge early Saturday to dismiss a lawsuit over its targeting of a U.S. citizen for killing overseas, saying that the case would reveal state secrets.” from Washington Post.  For more, “not only does the President have the right to sentence Americans to death with no due process or charges of any kind, but his decisions as to who will be killed and why he wants them dead are “state secrets,” and thus no court may adjudicate their legality.” see Salon.

Obama did exactly the opposite of what should have been done. He surrounded himself with people who exacerbated the problem.

You have a person who has cancer and instead of removing the cancer, you give him tranquilizers. When you give tranquilizers to a cancer patient, they feel better but the cancer gets worse. Total debt is higher than it was in 2008 and unemployment is worse.    Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Sept 24, 2010 in Montreal, author of “The Black Swan”

Hypocrite of Omaha Buffett says Taxpayers need to get over anger

“I hope we get over it pretty soon, because it’s not productive.  We will come back regardless of how people feel about Washington, but it is not helpful to have people as unhappy as they are about what’s going on in Washington.”  Warren Buffett, published Sept 24, 2010

Warren Buffett -the hypocrite who thinks people should pay more taxes themselves and then shelters his income and assets- needs to wake up.  Freedom and big government are incompatible.  Deficit and debt are not the paths to prosperity.

Colin Powell: We can’t be anti-immigration, for example. Because immigrants are fueling this country.

We can’t be anti-immigration, for example. Because immigrants are fueling this country. Colin Powell, September 19, 2010, NBC Meet the Press.

Colin Powell completely distorts the argument.  The argument is not about immigration.  The argument is about illegal versus legal immigration. I don’t know whether Colin Powell is just misinformed or purposefully arguing about something that is not at issue, but either way one would expect Powell to be better informed.
