The Democrats control the Senate. The Democrats control the committees. The Democrats control the legislation and the policy debate. The American public dislikes what it sees, and gives Congress a single digit approval rating.... and it is..... Republican's fault! It is that type of myopic overreaching and departure from reality that it ultimately going to be the undoing of President Obama and make Reid and Pelosi forced to back to their hometowns to find honest work.

They have completely abandoned their core principals. However, that is the main reason they got spanked in the last several elections and lost the House, Senate, and Presidency. Their base became irate and disillusioned. The difference is that the left's base not only ignores the hypocrisy, but they actively join in it. The American people (rightly) punish the Right when they become hypocrites, but when it comes to the left, the public apparently holds Pelosi, Reid, Durban, Murtha, and their ilk in such low regard that they not only to excuse the far left's hypocrisy, but in fact expect it and reward them. It is no coincidence that when Bush 43 had dismal approval ratings in the thirties, it was still approximately ten times higher than Congress' approval rating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-38314240648287866022009-03-07T18:49:00.000-05:002009-03-07T18:49:00.000-05:00Dear "Voice of Reason"Your lack of exposure to lef...Dear "Voice of Reason"<BR/><BR/>Your lack of exposure to left wing writings does not mean the writings aren't out there.

They are noticeably silent, even as Obama adopts, and even extends those same practices which were so denounced by the left as the end of the world and the "shredding of the Constitution". It is just another example that those who berated Bush and Cheney were not actually concerned with protecting the country, but rather political partisans more interested in achieving political power so as to remake the country into a socialist utopia. <BR/><BR/>http://online.wsj.com/article/<BR/>SB123638765474658467.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-36130504977310773242009-03-07T06:51:00.000-05:002009-03-07T06:51:00.000-05:00To 7:06:00 PMJuvenile Court is a feckless institut...To 7:06:00 PM<BR/><BR/>Juvenile Court is a feckless institution because most of the Judges are unwilling to treat the Respondents as criminals.

Anyone who still thinks it was a good idea to vote for Obama needs to read this column.<BR/> http://online.wsj.com/article/<BR/>SB123629969453946717.html<BR/><BR/>There are so many recent glaring examples of Obama's utter incompetence and naiveté, whether it be in foreign policy, military, or the economy. We as a nation knew he was the most inexperienced person ever to run for, much less be elected to the Office of the President, but because of his intelligence and eloquence, we as a nation (or, at least, most of the nation) gave him a pass and took a chance. <BR/><BR/>It now looks increasingly more obvious that was a huge, costly mistake. <BR/><BR/>Anyone who criticized Bush 43 for his irresponsible spending (appropriate criticism, in which I personally joined) MUST read this article. Bush had nothing on what Obama is now foisting upon the American people. <BR/><BR/>"Mr. Obama's $3.6 trillion budget blueprint, by his own admission, redefines the role of government in our economy and society. The budget more than doubles the national debt held by the public, adding more to the debt than ALL PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS - FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON TO GEORGE W. BUSH - COMBINED." <BR/><BR/>Anyone who complained about Bush, but is now silent with Obama, relinquishes all credibility and is exposed as a pure partisan hack. Where is the criticism for Obama? Rump, it is time to state the obvious: Obama's economic policies are not the cure for our nation's continued downward spiral, they are the cause. He is, simply put, making things worse not better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-28927533431327074782009-03-05T23:42:00.000-05:002009-03-05T23:42:00.000-05:00the trialmaster gave his opening statement today. ...the trialmaster gave his opening statement today. he blew them away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-31165161585094344832009-03-05T22:22:00.000-05:002009-03-05T22:22:00.000-05:00Miami long time appeallate attorney Paul Morris go...Miami long time appeallate attorney Paul Morris got the 4th dca to reverse a denial of a rule 3.

Wyeth v. Levine, No. 06-1249 (slip op., 03/04/09). The majority decision, authored by Justice Stevens, unequivocally rejected the pharmaceutical defendant’s arguments that the FDA regulatory scheme preempted state law failure-to-warn claims and outlined the real world limitations of FDA powers. This decision will have implications in pharmaceutical product liability claims for decades to come."<BR/><BR/>Joining Justice Stevens in the majority were justices Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer and Clarence Thomas. Although Justice Thomas concurred with the outcome, he did so under a different line of legal reasoning. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito dissented. <BR/><BR/>Captain Out ....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-26403770101959649492009-03-05T19:53:00.000-05:002009-03-05T19:53:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381072548975221830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-35383631672093987832009-03-05T19:06:00.000-05:002009-03-05T19:06:00.000-05:00Judge Eig is being re-assigned as of march 30th to...Judge Eig is being re-assigned as of march 30th to delinquency. <BR/><BR/>Seems like someone at the broken down juvenile courthouse was out to get him moved as he didn't fit in with her agenda!<BR/><BR/>But perhaps her days are numbered with a new chief taking control of the boat this sunmmer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-46402432522506812652009-03-05T19:04:00.000-05:002009-03-05T19:04:00.000-05:00The moral of the story is to spend the bucks and h...The moral of the story is to spend the bucks and hire an attorney to determine whether you should turn yourself in, and, if so, to accompany you and assert your constitutional rights for you, which the police are far more likely to respect if asserted by counsel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
