Meg Whitman - The Real Deal? - 03/03/10 06:11 PM
 
I think Meg Whitman is needed in California - someone who actually knows how to run a company!  
Via Gene Wunderlich - Realtor®, Government Affairs Director (Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors):
This past Monday I had the opportunity to hear Meg Whitman at a small meet & greet. Whitman is one of two Republicans running to be Governor of this great state of California, though why any sane person would do that I'm still not certain. I made the trek with a couple other political hacks and cynics who had similar questions about her sanity, her commitment and her … (4 comments)

Charlie Rangel Takes A Leave Of Absence - 03/03/10 12:08 PM
It's about time someone gives him the boot - corrupt and a liar - he doesn't represent the people!
Via Bonnie Vaughan, CNE (Century 21 Sherlock Homes,Inc):
Charlie Rangel announced today that he is asking Pelosi for a leave of absence from the Ways and Means Committee until the Ethics investigation is over.  He refused to take questions from the press.  He indicated that he was going to get back to work passing the Presidents bills.
Is it finally time for the Democrats to do the right thing?  Charlie Rangel has been embroiled in ethics issues for over a … (3 comments)

JFK Air Traffic Control In The Hands Of A Kid - 03/03/10 12:03 PM
The lives and safety of airline passengers and crews could have been seriously compromised....SHOCKING!
Via Bonnie Vaughan, CNE (Century 21 Sherlock Homes,Inc):
The FAA is investigating employees at the JFK air traffic control tower.  It would appear that employees allowed a school age child to make transmissions, which included instructions to pilots.  While the child was under adult supervision at the time,  the incident is a highly serious infraction of protocol. 
The lives and safety of airline passengers and crews could have been seriously compromised.  The tapes indicate the pilots knew it was a farce and were amused at … (4 comments)

Brilliant Narcissists - 03/03/10 06:41 AM
It amazes me how some people think they are so brilliant - it shows on their faces - it shows up in their work - their writings - everywhere.
They simply are in love with themselves - and it gets so nauseating to the rest of us the readers - but the narcissists see through rose colored glasses and they think people don't see through the conceit.
Everything is about themselves - truly there are other people in this world. It can't all be about themselves, or are they so full of themselves they can't see it.
I for one am tired of the so called brilliant people … (14 comments)

Don't Budge Republicans - 03/02/10 09:43 PM
 
Republicans - Stand Your Ground! Don't cave in to the trap of liberal spending and things that don't work -  
Via Steve Hoffacker - Real Estate Sales & Marketing Consulting and Strategies (Hoffacker Associates LLC):
If Obama passes his health care plan without a single contributing vote from the Republicans, we'll see it for exactly what it is - a big spending, deficit enriching, potentially bankrupting, unconstitutional attempt to do what shouldn't be done. So don't you dare participate, Republicans. This way it also will be easiser to repeal in January.
OK, so now the President is all-of-a-sudden open to … (3 comments)

Today, in 1854, the Republican Party is organized in WI. One of its central planks is the abolition of slavery - 03/02/10 06:54 AM
People have to understand that they have been served a bill of goods from the liberal media that the liberals have brought about change in America - truth be told they have done nothing but try to put a road block up for real change in America - Thank God for the truth - for it will set you free!

Stop Trying to Build a Dam! - 03/02/10 06:28 AM
This is the perfect explanation of what happened that caused the housing bubble to burst and how the government made it worse not better by stepping in to try to "help us"!
Via Sara Homan, Realtor, Ocala Fla The Horse Capital of the World (Coldwell Banker Ellison Realty Inc):
When the market was hot and house inventory was at an all time low did Washington try to stop it?  Did the banks create a road block to prevent people from getting financing?   No sir!  We all enjoyed the benefits of that market.
America is going through the after effects of that crazy market,  … (3 comments)

Nancy Sure Is Full Of Herself - 03/01/10 09:08 PM
Nancy Pelosi is thumbing her plastic nose at America - Let's throw some water at her and watch her melt!
Via Steve Hoffacker - Real Estate Sales & Marketing Consulting and Strategies (Hoffacker Associates LLC):
In an interview with Cathy Crowley on CNN last night, Nancy Pelosi was asked to comment on the very real possibility that she would not be Speaker next year and that the Dems would not be in the majority.
Nancy, after rambling about other issues, finally answered that the Dems would still be the ruling party.
And there you have it. Nancy has issued a challenge … (2 comments)

CA Legislators Finally Reach Consensus on 1 Item. No f**kin cussin' this week. - 03/01/10 03:50 PM
A brilliant post - something from a man who actually lives in a state where the liberals have destroyed through tax and spend theories -
Via Gene Wunderlich - Realtor®, Government Affairs Director (Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors):
Never mind our state is f***in' bankrupt, the southern 2/3 of the state is running out of g**damn water, we're chasing jobs to neighboring states at a prodigious rate and people in Mississippi laugh at our education, prison & welfare systems. Our legislature managed to reach consensus on one item last week - a resolution to make the first week in March … (1 comments)

A Picture Speaks Louder Than Words...Sometimes - 03/01/10 03:42 PM
Just gotta say that a picture speaks volumes - they say Bush was a stupid man and even worse president.
Yet these same people say Obama is so brilliant - even has the highest IQ of any president in history. Nothing to prove any of it - but yet the story still grows and grows. When asked for proof - they can produce nothing!
Well - here is my proof -
Here is President Bush in front a classroom of kids -

 
And here is Mr. Brilliant in front of a classroom -
