American Voters Still Don't Want The Democratic Parties Obamacare
Support for repeal of the new national health care plan has jumped to its highest level ever. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of U.S. voters now favor repeal of the plan passed by congressional Democrats and signed into law by President Obama in March.
Prior to today, weekly polling had shown support for repeal ranging from 54% to 58%.
Currently, just 32% oppose repeal.
The new findings include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal of the health care bill and 25% who Strongly Oppose it.
While opposition to the bill has remained as consistent since its passage as it was beforehand, this marks the first time that support for repeal has climbed into the 60s. It will be interesting to see whether this marks a brief bounce or indicates a trend of growing opposition.
Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters now believe the health care plan will be good for the country, down six points from a week ago and the lowest level of confidence in the plan to date. Fifty-five percent (55%) say it will be bad for the nation. Only three percent (3%) think it will have no impact.
The Political Class continues to be a strong supporter of the plan, however. While 67% of Mainstream voters believe the plan will be bad for America, 77% of the Political Class disagree and think it be good for the country. As Obama's approval rating drops below 42%,another all time low, we need to realize that Obama has made one too many mistakes and Americans aren't too happy with him. He talked a good game to get elected but now all he is doing is running up the national debt and hurting our country. If all those Americans would have stood by the TEA Party rallies maybe we wouldn't have this abortion of a Democratic party health care bill. These people have lied to us to get elected and to get their pork laden bills passed. But they will pay for what they did to us and our country.

Dick Morris: Sestak Bribery Is Impeachable Offense
For three months, the White House has refused to say whether it offered a job to Representative Joe Sestak to get him to drop his challenge to Senator Arlen Specter in a Pennsylvania Democratic primary, as Mr. Sestak has asserted. This smells of a cover-up to me. I hope our president didn't have anything to do with this bribery case. We can't afford another president getting impeached right now. But we are a country of laws and the left wing keep thinking we are a country of men not laws. We will see.

Obama Autherizes 1,200 National Gaurd Troops To Border
Our desert has basically been turned into a landfill. Why aren't the bleeding hearts cleaning up the Mexican mess?
Obama has authorised more troops to the Mexican border. Will they actually be allowed to arrest the illegals as they come into the country? Will the left protest this the same way they protested the Arizona law? Will we hear how unconstitutional it is to ask for ID? I just can't get that picture out of my head of the Democrats in Congress giving a standing ovation against Arizona for Calderon. It's time they stop playing politics and start leading this country into a bright future instead of this. Since Obama is sending a bunch of troops that are untrained to do the job maybe they can clean up the mess from the human trafficking and labor slave trade.
New York Times: LOS ANGELES — President Obama will send up to 1,200 National Guard troops to the Southwest border and seek increased spending on law enforcement there to combat drug smuggling after demands from Republican and Democratic lawmakers that border security be tightened…
The troops will be stationed in the four border states for a year, White House officials said. It is not certain when they will arrive, the officials said.
The troops will join a few hundred members of the Guard already assigned there to help the police hunt for drug smugglers. The additional troops will provide support to law enforcement officers by helping observe and monitor traffic between official border crossings. They will also help analyze trafficking patterns in the hope of intercepting illegal drug shipments…
The soldiers will not directly make arrests of border crossers and smugglers, something they are not trained to do.

Unions:What Are They God For
Yesterday I went past a Dodge Park on my way to my sons baseball game. They had the union there with their buses and printed signs that said, "Don't you care about your kids","Support education" and the like. It was the government unions trying to pull the heart strings of the tax payers. The teachers want more money so they can give some to the kids and take a lot for themselves. That is how we have been doing things in the past and just look at how atrocious our school systems are. And when you see road work how many people are doing work knowing they can't get fired? Back in the day the unions made sure the workers had a safe and healthy environment. They made sure workers were treated fairly and got a fair wage.
But who needs them now that the government does that for the unions? What is the unions job now? Is it only to get big money for it's members? Is it to got the greedy businesses and stock holders? Is it to make the tax payers pay up or they will strike and with hold an education from the children if they don't get what they want? Are the unions there so the bad teachers stay and do more harm then good to our children's education? Unions had and still have a place in America. But they have gotten out of control with their power. It's time we let the unions strike like they did for the Detroit News and Free Press back in the mid 90's. That is what the unions need right now. A little fear and respect for their jobs. They need to see what it is like to be us the people that pay their income demands without so much as a quota on grades or performance. The union needs to change the way they do things and the way we the people that are paying for them look at them. The unions need to give up the bottom 10% of union members. That will strengthen the unions and the way we the people view the unions. I'm not against unions. I'm for unions the way they were not what they have become. Unions have become the most greedy entity on main street. And the more I see what the unions have become the smaller I would like to see them. They have become thugs and bullies to we the people and they we must stand up against these kinds of unions or the unions will full like they are in Greece and other countries. Right now our unions are trying to unionize the illegal immigrants in this country. It's time to right size the unions and this is the year we need to do it. We need to counter protest the unions. We need to push them like they pushed us. We need to ask them what they want and what they will do if they don't get it.

About 500 teachers and parents rallied Monday, giving the state Legislature a failing grade for cutting the education budget and forcing school districts to increase class sizes, slash supply spending and privatize services.
Carrying signs that said “Invest in education” and “Stop the attacks,” they lined Utica Road during rush hour and chanted “enough is enough” before gathering at Dodge Park.
“We’ve had enough of the state budget not being adequate to fully fund public schools,” said Liza Parkinson, incoming president of the Utica Education Association.
Lansing lawmakers need to restructure the tax system, roll back tax cuts of the 1990s, begin collecting taxes on services, such as golf, or do more to go after tax revenue from Internet sales, according to teachers and their supporters.
“One alternative is to repeal the tax breaks that led to the hole we’re in,” said David Stafford, a lobbyist for the Michigan Education Association. “They haven’t delivered the growth that was promised. They haven’t worked and they cost the school aid fund $1.25 billion to $1.5 billion a year.”
From teacher pay freezes in Utica to privatized custodial services in the Lakeview School District, school employees said they are making concessions and sharing the economic pain.
“School districts needing to save money sell these jobs and employees to the lowest bidder and the privateers aren’t U.S. companies,” said Macomb County Commission David Flynn, chairman of the education committee.
In more than 40 simultaneous rallies held across Michigan, thousands of school employees called for an end to what see as Band-Aid fixes and a cuts-only mentality.
Michael LaBuhn, president of MEA Local 1, said the repeated cuts to education are risking the future of our students and the future of Michigan.
“It’s a myth that we have done nothing,” he added. “In Armada we went to a $200/$400 deductible (for health care). And, it’s a myth that the schools are broke. They have savings accounts and they aren’t using them.”
Utica teacher concessions — giving up scheduled raises — will save that district $6.5 million next year, according to Curt Lange, a union official.
“This year we’re contributing to health care. We took a zero percent raise and a freeze on steps and it’s for the preservation of programs,” Lange said. “Lansing needs to come up with a realistic way to fund schools. They have to accept the fact it’s their responsibility.”
Earlier this month in Lansing, legislators passed a retirement incentive that could save schools $680 million in the next fiscal year by boosting benefits for 28,000 school employees with 30 years of service. Also, after Oct. 1, all school employees would begin paying an extra 3 percent of their wages into a retiree health care fund.
Flynn and the teachers see the cost-saving plan differently.
“The Legislature wants to steal more with a tax on retirement and give you no guarantee of health benefits when you do retire,” he told the crowd. “What’s your response to that?” prompting another shout of “enough is enough.”
The rallies across Michigan were tantamount to a more-taxes-more-spending battle cry to the Education Action Group, which has a website called MEAexposed.com. Kyle Olson, vice president of the group, called the gatherings “little more than a delusional union trying to protect its benefit system that has long been outdated” in a release.
For the teachers, one day of rallies isn’t enough to demand stable, adequate funding for public education. They will join together again June 24, when more than 10,000 people are expected to gather on the lawn of the state Capitol to make sure their message is heard.
State Rep. Fred Miller got the message Monday at Dodge Park.
“No one can envision a prosperous Michigan without quality education,” he said. “Tough choices have to be made and it’s incumbent on policymakers to put education first.”

SEIU's Union Thugs Protests(Mob) Bank of America Executives Homes
This goes to show you what is fundamentally wrong with these unions. They bussed in hundreds of mobsters to scare and intimidate families in their home. I don't care if SEIU wants to protest but why not do it at the banks? This kind of thug bullshit needs to stop. They have beaten Tea Partiers and they have used every form of Rules For Radicals they can to gain power over we the people. These executives have families that were scared to death that this mob might turn violent at any moment. One exec had this mob outside his house with his 12 year old son inside alone. Just think how they scared these young kids and wives. Is this how the left is going to make us do what they want? SEIU is on the top of the Shit list with this move. And the police that didn't want to help that father get his son out of the house are bigger pieces of shit. The cops said they were afraid to do anything because it might excite the mob into violence. So even the cops were afraid of this mob trespassing and trying to intimidate a fellow citizen of this country. A person has every right to protect his property and family if the cops wont. If I was one of these executives I would gather a group of "intimidaters" and go to Andy Sterns homes and the other union bosses homes and teach them a lesson in fear tactics. I would find out who was on their property and play hardball with these SEIU mobsters. At some point in time the right needs to stop turning the other cheek to these POS and fight back or we will always be their punching bag. Now you might be saying that this doesn't sound too Christian like and you may be right. But you may be wrong. If anyone hears anything about a SEIU protest coming up in the Metro Detroit area let me know. I would love nothing more then to go and stand on the porch of an executive and face the mob. This is wrong what they are doing and we the people need to stand up for our fellow Americans. This story needs to get out and we need to show America and the union members what the union has become. Take a good look at Greece union riots and tell me SEIU isn't doing the same thing. It just hasn't gotten to the riot point yet. But SEIU has gotten violent over the last 2 years.
What About Jobs?What About The Wars,The Patriot Act,The BP Oil Spill and Pork?
They said if we did what they wanted with the Stimulus Bill unemployment wouldn't go above 8%. They said the Patriot Act was unconstitutional and they they made it even worse. They said our spending and debt was out of control so the added to it by more then double. And what about BP? BP gave Obama what I consider to be a crap load of money and it looks like once again that money BP gave was well spent on the company. Just like the banks and the Big Three got their moneys worth. GE is doing well with our money. This weekend I spent some time with my Democratic friends. They are UAW through and through and have never voted for anyone other then who the union tells them to vote for. But things are changing. They have "heard Obama's lies for too long" they said. They feel that the Gulf coast is worse then Katrina because the fish and animals didn't have the same chance to leave as the New Orleans people did. They are not as against Bush as they used to be because Obama is proving to be as "criminal as Bush". I actually had a good friend of mine tell me he has been reading more about Bush and Obama and now sees Bush as being "not so bad" and "Obama is not so good". The funny thing is they were all for the redistribution of wealth until now. You may ask why now as I did. Well it's because they aren't getting theirs. They thought that Obama was going to take money from the greedy rich and give it to them. But it looks like Obama took from them,and their kids,kids,kids in order to give to big business. It does suck to be a Democrat right now. Most Americans thought they were getting a JFK but now they know he's nothing at all like JFK but more like Woodrow Wilson.
