"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care".

The Dem's have dismissed this as "disgusting" and "fear mongering".

They had a guy on FOX who actually read the entire bill which was over 1000 pages. He was some sort of heath care expert. The first thing he pointed out was the Medi-Care bill was only 5 pages long. He went on to say that the very young and the very old would not get the utmost health care; that would be reserved for the "productive members of society". OK fine.

Next question:

When will the executions begin for the people on Welfare for the last 20 years?

Remember this guy?

William Jefferson

Finally justice has been served but you don't

hear Jack from the media.

The FBI raided his office in May of 2006 and found $96,000 in his freezer and charged him with bribery. Unbelievably, the idiots in New Orleans actually re-elected him later that same year!

Speaking of idiots. Who could forget the infamous mayor who suffers from chronic diarrhea of the mouth.

Remember Ray (I want to make this town Chocolate again) Nagin.

When you have people who are inept and corrupt running the city, and the residents (knowing that) voted for them, how can you now scratch your head wondering why the city is the way it is?

It never was about money not spent on (Katrina) New Orleans. Its what happened to it after it got there.

Former U.S. congressman convicted in bribery case

A federal court jury in suburban Washington, D.C., has convicted a former Louisiana congressman on 11 of 16 counts including bribery in a case in which agents found $90,000 US in his freezer.

Former Democratic Representative William Jefferson is accused of accepting more than $400,000 in bribes and seeking millions more in exchange for brokering business deals in Africa between 2000 and 2005.

He had represented parts of New Orleans for 18 years until his defeat in 2008.

The jury deliberated five days before returning the verdict Wednesday. It was an eight-week trial.

Jefferson's attorneys say he was acting as a private business consultant and his actions did not constitute bribery under federal law.

In August 2005, FBI agents searched Jefferson's Washington home and found the cash in his freezer, wrapped in foil and hidden in boxes of frozen pie crust.

If the money is legit what's it doing in the freezer?

Rielle Hunter, center, is escorted into a courthouse in Raleigh, N.C., Thursday, where her former love, John Edwards, was being investigated over campaign funds.

Finally after begging the FBI to investigate this bastard someone is actually doing something.

Rielle Hunter's Sister Comes Forward

BY Bill Hutchinson
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Cradling their reputed love child, the former mistress of John Edwards showed up Thursday at a North Carolina courthouse where a grand jury is investigating the frisky politician's campaign spending.

Escorted by two FBI agents and attorney, Rielle Hunter refused to comment as she entered the federal court in Raleigh holding the toddler Edwards has denied fathering.

Hunter's attorneys declined to confirm she was at the courthouse to testify before the panel looking into whether Edwards mishandled campaign donations during his recent presidential run.

This love we're contemplating

Is worth the pain of waitin'

We'll only end up hatin'

The child we may be creatin'

Edwards has acknowledged that the grand jury investigation centers on the $100,000 his political action committee paid Hunter for making campaign videos.

(Really...What about the $15,000 a month she rakes in with no job)

The former North Carolina senator and one-time vice presidential candidate has denied the money was paid to Hunter to assure her silence on the identity of her baby's father.

(Hold on hold on just a little bit longer) Mmmmm baby

Smiling and tickling 2-year-old Frances Quinn, Hunter, 45, was dressed for the legal spotlight in black slacks, a white blouse and a pink cardigan draping her shoulders.

Her daughter wore a white floppy sun hat, pink leggings and white sandals.

It was not immediately clear why Hunter brought the little girl to court.

(Let me take a wild guess. See picture below)

Don't think that I don't need ya

Don't think I don't want to please ya

But no child of mine will be bearing

The name of shame I've been wearing

The National Enquirer reported Frances Quinn is Edwards' daughter, but Hunter has not publicly named him as the father. He's offered to take a paternity test to prove he's not but it's unclear if one has been done.

In an interview earlier this year, Edwards' cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, expressed uncertainty over whether her husband is the father of Hunter's baby.

"I've seen a picture of the baby. I have no idea. It doesn't look like my children, but I don't have any idea," Edwards told Winfrey.

Edwards' image as the Democratic golden boy imploded last August when Edwards, 56, admitted in an ABC interview that he had a brief affair with Hunter in 2006.

See I Could Do It

I said to myself.

Why not write something positive for a change. I'm always bitching, pissing, and moaning. Just for once write something with a positive outlook.

I can't do it... I told myself. I'm the Merchant of Venom. The name alone gives me away.

I thought this:

Hemingway once bet a guy he could write a story using only six words. I was intrigued. They laid their money down on the bar. Even for Hemingway, this was an impossible feat. There is no way a story can be written in six words. However, the guy lost the bet.

If he could write a story in only six words certainly I can write something on a positive note without that limitation.

I can do this.

I am now standing in front of a brick wall. A pickaxe is leaning against it. Should I pick it up? I must I thought... a pickaxe is what I need. I grabbed the smooth shiny wood handle, feeling top-heavy in my hands. This wall looms in front of me like the look I got from the grandma clerk, when I was a young man, buying prophylactics in the drug store. She had that...I know what you're up to sting in her eye.

There it stood. Directly in my path. High, solid, and I didn't know how thick. I spread my legs, arched my back, both hands low on the handle, swung a mighty swing like ringing the bell at the County Fair. It hit with a smash with no split only a few sharp red fragments grudgingly falling away.

This wall is coming down. I don't care what it takes. I grabbed the pickaxe and reared back on my heals.

Wait a minute stupid... You can't bring this wall down in one whack!

Oh yeah!

The hell with it I said. I pounded and pounded without mercy until exhausted I fell to one knee.

A jagged funnel shape in the wall was beginning to form. I looked closer and there was a small hole about the size of a BB that pierced the other side. I tried to see through the tiny opening but all I could see was a fine white point of light. I needed to see more.

I swung the pickaxe missing my intended target, the brunt of the blow striking the side of the funnel hole, before ricocheting down to the opening making it larger to the size of a dime.

I looked through. Then turned my head away rubbing my eyes. Looked through again. It was Ernest Hemingway. He had a sign in his left hand. It said: Get a life.

I stepped aside again to rub my eyes, and then nestled my cheek once more on the peephole and saw his right arm partially away from his body and had to tilt my head a little to see better through the hole. I saw his right hand clearly now. It was another sign. It said....For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.

Then I woke up.

Martinez Taking A Cue From Benedict Arlen

Martinez is backing Sotomayorrr. Gee.... I wonder if her name was Johnson if he still vote for her?

"It is a momentous and historic opportunity," Martinez (R-Fla.) said.

For him or the rest of us?

Republican senator backs Sonia Sotomayor

Mel Martinez of Florida is the first to break from the GOP during the Senate debate on Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court. He calls her a 'mainstream' judge who would 'rule with restraint.'

By James Oliphant
9:45 AM PDT, August 5, 2009

Reporting from Washington -- Sen. Mel Martinez today was the first Republican to publicly break from his party during the Senate debate over Sonia Sotomayor and declare his support for the Supreme Court nominee.

"It is a momentous and historic opportunity," Martinez (R-Fla.) said. "Her 17-year judicial record indicates that she will apply the law without bias."

Martinez, who is retiring from the Senate, directly rebutted his GOP colleagues in saying he believed Sotomayor was a "mainstream" judge who would "rule with restraint." And he dismissed the furor over Sotomayor's "wise Latina" remark, saying what matters is that the New York federal appeals judge's opinions, "not what she said to a group of students one day."

Sotomayor has been criticized by some Republicans for suggesting in speeches that a "wise Latina" would "reach a better conclusion" in some cases than a white male.

Martinez charged that some Republicans were using Sotomayor's speeches as "an excuse" not to vote for her confirmation. Her critics, he said, "have yet to produce objective evidence that she has allowed personal bias to influence her judicial decision-making."

Martinez's expression of support came on the second day of debate over Sotomayor's nomination. A vote could come as early as Thursday. Sotomayor is expected to be confirmed.

After Martinez spoke, veteran Sen. Christopher S. Bond (R-Mo.) took to the floor and announced that he would also vote for Sotomayor, saying that President Obama was entitled to appoint his choice of judges. He said a Republican president similarly had the prerogative to appoint conservatives to the court. "She has proven herself to be a well-qualified jurist," Bond said. "The country is tired of partisanship infecting every debate."

Bond's announcement means that at least seven Republican will vote to confirm Sotomayor.

Earlier, Sen. Richard M. Burr (R-N.C.) embraced what has been the more traveled Republican path on Sotomayor's nomination, saying that he did not believe Sotomayor would stick to "the letter of the law" and said he would not vote to confirm her.

At the start of the debate today, several female Democratic senators banded together on the Senate floor to ensure that the other history-making nature of Sotomayor's nomination would not go unnoticed.

While much attention has been paid to the fact that Sotomayor would be the first Latino on the high court, she would also be just the third woman to serve as a justice, noted Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)

Klobuchar was joined on the floor by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Kristen Gillibrand (N.Y.) and Patty Murray (Wash.).
