Tom Harkin (hypocrite) Say What?

It would seem that Tom Harkin fully believes that the Progressive re-wrting of history occurs the second someone is finished speaking. He thinks that the spin machine is following right behind them to clean up or erase comments he and other Progressives make as soon as they say them.


Unfortunately for Tom the Progressives are still sometime away from being able to eliminate previous comments or even past votes take by Congresspeople.


Tom decides to take an opportunity to insult Conservatives but since he has forgotten his response to the same set of circumstances from the past he doesn't get that he is just showing his true Liberal idiocy and hypocrisy.


Tom says.....





But in the past Tom has done this.....

On Debt Ceiling Votes, Senate Dems Have Some Explaining To Do
9:17 AM, Apr 12, 2011 • By MICHAEL WARREN

As Congress considers whether to raise the debt ceiling in the coming weeks, President Obama has had to respond to questions about his own prior votes on the debt limit when he was a United States senator. Obama's press secretary Jay Carney told reporters yesterday that the president "regrets" his 2006 vote against raising the debt ceiling, saying Obama believes it was a mistake. But what about his fellow Democratic senators?


On that particular vote in March 2006, 44 Democrats voted "nay," including 31 senators who are still in office. They are Daniel Akaka of Hawaii, Max Baucus of Montana, Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico, Barbara Boxer of California, Maria Cantwell of Washington, Tom Carper of Delaware, Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Dianne Feinstein of California, Tom Harkin of Iowa, Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, Tim Johnson of South Dakota, John Kerry of Massachusetts, Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Carl Levin of Michigan, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Patty Murray of Washington, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bill Nelson of Florida, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Harry Reid of Nevada, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, Chuck Schumer of New York, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, and Ron Wyden of Oregon. In addition, three members of Obama's cabinet voted the same way: Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.......

So it would appear that whenever it is a Republican in office, raising the debt ceiling is not an option, but when his party is in control it is a totally different manner. This is why we must remember and keep track of what these people say and have this info handy when we need to remind family freinds and colleagues.

Too "Rich" to pass up

This one is just too much to pass on so I have to make a few comments and get some humor out of what is a serious situation.






[President Obama is still seeking the largest deficit reduction deal possible as part of a package deal to raise the debt ceiling, he said in a press conference today.

"I continue to push congressional leaders for the largest possible deal," he said from the White House. "It is possible for us to construct a package that would be balanced, would share sacrifice [and] would involve both parties taking on their sacred cows."

Mr. Obama would not even entertain the notion of failing to get a deal done before the end of the month.

"We are going to get this done by August 2," he said.

The president and his economic team have repeatedly warned of catastrophic consequences for the U.S. and global economy if Congress does not increase the debt ceiling -- the amount of money that the U.S. government is technically allowed to borrow -- by August 2. Republicans have insisted on creating a deficit and debt reduction plan as a condition of voting to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling.... ]

This one is really good because in 2006 when Pelosi, Reid and the Corruptocrats took over congress our debt was 7.6 trillion. Between then and now thanks to Pelosi, Reid and President Obama and his assinine economic failures we are at 14 trillion in debt.

Since Pres Obama took office he has increased the debt by 3.5 trillion dollars and since the Corruptocrats have not passed a budget for over 800 days (the budget offered up by Obama had 1.5 trillion in deficits just for one year) and they have made it so that almost 50% of the U.S. workforce doesn't even pay taxes, the tax base is so small that now that he has run out of extra money to spend he wants to punish the 50% of Americans who do pay taxes, except for his political cronies like GE who paid no taxes on their 16 billion dollar profit.

We have plenty of "revenue" to cover our expenses, this massive grandstanding is all about Pres Obama getting MORE money to waste on setting up slush funds for his supporters to get him re-elected. SO he wants US to eat "peas" so he can stuff his face with cupcakes and steak.


Meanwhile to prove our point....should I say hamburgers and french fries

Michelle Obama's 1,556-Calorie Lunch Raises Eyebrows





By NewsCore

WASHINGTON - First Lady Michelle Obama may have temporarily forgotten the lessons of her own anti-obesity campaign when she indulged in a sinfully caloric lunch Monday at a popular new hamburger restaurant.


A Washington Post reporter said the first lady ordered a cheeseburger, french fries, chocolate shake and Diet Coke at Shake Shack -- a trendy hamburger spot that recently opened an outpost in Washington's Dupont Circle....[...]






Don't fall for this and support cutting spending with NO tax increases on anyone.
