Davis, Susan CA-53 (D) C 2/2/2006, Changed from WNC to Against
Bachus, Spencer AL-06 (R) Cosponsors bill on 1/31/2006, Changed from Leans For to For
Sullivan, John OK-01 (R) Cosponsors bill on 1/31/2006, Changed from Leans For to For

Weldon, Dave FL-15 (R) Changed from Leans For to Leans Against Fair Tax (1/25/06) (Corrected 2/7/2006)

In my humble opinion, this is the way to go. I would effectively get rid of all taxes but the tax that would be paid for buying things. The IRS would simply disappear, and that would be one big expense on the government that would disappear...and the governement would run smoother cause it would still get the money it needs to run. You would get your whole paycheck....not a part of it after the government takes it share.....and the only place you would pay a tax is when you buy something. Wouldn't that be preferrable to paying a tax on everything you do?

This Michael J. Fox thing is totally out of hand...
Mood:  celebratory
Now Playing: Why don't people LISTEN TO WHAT IS ACTUALLY SAID!!
Topic: Time to Reform.....
I have listened to Rush Limbaugh over this last week, and I have heard everything he has said on the subject of Michael J. Fox.

Now, I have always liked Mr. Fox, and have nothing against him, but when he does total political ads telling lies about things that can't be taken back....then I draw the line.

He is doing that commercial *which has been pulled by the way* so it was never shown during the World Series like it was supposed to have been. But here is some of what happened.



Mr Limbaugh was asked to respond to Michael J. Fox's interview on Katie Couric's news the other night, because he said two "incredible" things that he felt he had to respond to. He also posted it.


Thanks, Katie, I'll try to make it simple:

I believe Democrats have a long history of using victims of various things as POLITICAL spokespeople because they believe they are untouchable, infallible. They are immune from criticism. But when anyone enters the POLITICAL arena of ideas they forfeit the right to be challenged on their participation and message.

I have not met Mr. Fox, do not know him. I have admired his work in film and TV and his appearances on Letterman were howlers. I have nothing personal against him. But I believe his implication that only Democrats want to cure disease(s) is irresponsible (as I believed about John Edwards assuring voters Christopher Reeve would walk if only John Kerry were elected). I think this is ultimately cruel and gives people who suffer these terrible afflictions false hope.

As of now there is NO EVIDENCE that embryonic stem cells even hold promise, while other approaches, such as adult stem cells, already have yielded results. Michael's TV spots mislead and misinform on this. (You might ask him about the gene therapy research at a Chicago hospital which has produced encouraging results on Parkinson's patients. A VIRUS is inserted in the gene, which is then inserted in the brain. The Michael J. Fox Foundations has committed $1.9 million to further research on this...story from earlier this month.)

I did NOT mock or make fun of Mr. Fox. I have seen him many times on TV but never have I seen him as he appears in the ads. I read from his own book that he will not take his medications before certain appearances (Senate, 1999) in order to illustrate the ravages of Parkinson's, which I understand and applaud. So the concept of manipulating meds has been stated by Mr. Fox, which is what caused me to question his appearance in his ads.

He is stumping for Democrats, in the political arena, and is therefore open to analysis and criticism as we all are. His suffering is NOT fair game and I am sorry if people drew that conclusion about my comments, but I believe this happens precisely because NO criticism of victims is ever allowed, at all, which as I say is the Democrat strategy in putting them forward.

Now I have to say, upon reading that, I understand what Rush was saying. Why didn't Katie use more than one line of that when it was presented to her? She most likely used the most damning line there, and all by itself, gave rise to another "Rush is bad because he is against Michael J. Fox conspiracy". And that is just what I believe it is....

The news media, and I include Katie Couric on this is strictly liberal to the core and would not know the truth if it came up and bit them on the butt. And if they do know the truth, then they don't like it and make sure that it is always changed so that it says what they like. People, the media has been doing this kind of thing for decades now. They are good at it, and they think that no matter what kind of lie they push forward, they can get away with it, because they are the PRESS and the press pushes forth the truth. HAAA!!!! Their truth and reality are two complete different things and they would probably explode with a cosmic destructive force if they met. The press does not know the truth.

The press of years ago, where something like I heard my dad say early in my life, that the press didn't lie, is now a myth that they perpetuate with every sleasy story that they put forth.

I am getting tired of them acting like the news is theirs to tell the way they want it. I am getting tired of them telling news, not the way it actually happened, but the way that is sensationalized and false. They care nothing except for the ratings that their news stories can get for them....nothing more....nothing less. And doing the news that way, they are missing out on the real news of this great country. And that is that we are tired of their lies, just like we are tired of the Liberals lies...and we are going to do something about it!

I got a comment the other day on my web site linked with this blog, where someone wrote me in my guestbook, that said:
"I'm glad you think it's okay to go kill 655,000 Iraqis based on misinformation and bad intel. I can't wait to see how much crying you do when Bush/Cheney are impeached after the Democrats take back Congress. You can't suppress the truth forever. This Administration is about to come tumbling down, as all evil regimes do. God Bless America!"

Now I almost laughed when I read that, because that story, which the news media jumped on, was proved false, and I wrote this person an email letting him know the falsness of his statement and the things that were actually happening because he didn't know. He is probably a clone of the Liberal establishment that doesn't get any of his news except through ABC CBS and NBC and the New York Times or something like that. He in other words is being fed a line of bull that could feed the entire world for ten years if it was food. And I also mentioned that his party, the Democrats have been trying to take God out of our society for years so his God Bless America thing was just a ploy that he couldn't believe. I never received another message from him.

People we have got to stop believing this media, lock, stock and barrel like a lot of us do. They lie. Get over it...and move on with your lives. It's as much a fact of life as you breathing to stay alive is. They Lie!

You may not be happy with the Repubicans........
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: But voting the Democrats in, is NOT the Answer.....
Topic: Time to Reform.....
I know that for a lot of you, the Republicans haven't done a good job while in office. But there are a lot of things that most of you don't know.....and you need too.

Yesterday I heard on the television an advertisement for the Democrats saying that the nations deficit is killing this nation, and that only the democrats can help it to go away. Bullshit on that one!

The deficit as told by President Bush in February said that it woulod be down so much and before he said it would be down...it is down even more than that! Of course the democrats know about this...but that is not what their agenda is....Yes the Democrats have an agenda. It isn't for the betterment of the United States....oh no nothing like that...their agenda is to lie and cheat and do anything they can to get back into the majority. That is it. They do not care if they hurt the nation doing it....they just want it done!

Maryland. There is a particular strain of liberal vitriol that is saved up for one specifc type of individual. And that individual is any black American who runs for political office as a Republican. If there is such a thing as treason to a liberal, this is what it is. Maryland's Republican Lt. Governor Michael Steele is getting a taste of that right now. He is black.....he is a Repubican.

Maryland Democrat Congressman, and House Minority Whip is Steny Hoyer. Hoyer is campaigning for Cardin who is the Democrat running against Mr. Michael Steele, all bets are off in this campaign because Mr. Steele is black. Hoyer tells a campaign audience .. who is a largely black, campaign audience .. that Michael Steele "slavishly" supports the Republican Party. Of course afterwards, Mr. Hoyer says that he shouldn't have said that, cause he was caught. Caught like a bug in a rug...but he figures, just like all Democrats, if they are caught doing something wrong, all they have to do is get mad, or apologise. All will be okay. But all is NOT okay. The Democrats are living a double standard, and it needs to stop. If the situation was flipped....and Steele was a black Democrat, and the Republican had said the same thing that Hoyer did about a democrat...all HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE and the media would follow suit and not drop the subject till everyone knew about what was going on...and letting everyone know that what was going on was wrong. But it won't happen because Steele is a Repubican. The double standard stands only for the Democrats.

The other lie the Democrats tell, and they do this every election, they say that the tax cuts have to be repealled...and that they will not raise taxes. Well people, if the tax cuts are repealed....what do the taxes do? They go up! Don't be dumb on this. They want to raise taxes..and they know that raising taxes is not a popular thing with the public...so they call it something else...but it is still the same thing....Raising your taxes.

Nancy Palosi right now is in "hiding" because she doesn't want her voting record in the house to hurt her chances to become the speaker of the house...but here is some of her voting record over the years......read and weap especially if you vote for the democrats and make her the speaker......

There is so much more that I can say...but it is totally depressing to think of her becoming Speaker of the house....and the things she will do. Her past voting, like voting against the Immigration bill to help stem the Illegals....voting against the Patriot act.....every time....voting against the tax cuts....every time.....voting against everythign that will help the united states....every time...she is one scary _itch.

God Bless America

The PC Crowd is destroying this Country....
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Piece by Piece....we need to stop this from happening...
Topic: Time to Reform.....
I remember when the PC crowd was just a tiny blip on the screen, and the things they were doing was at best....laughable, and people didn't take them seriously. I remember when...but now, things have changed. It was the years and years of little bitty things that finally changed things to the point where now if things aren't changed back soon, this country is going to be in really bad shape....not that it isn't already...be we haven't seen nothing yet.

The PC crowd has changed laws and morals and religious freedoms to the point where one or two stupid athiests can ruin something for everyone. Take the Cross on Mt Soledad in California. It was just one idiotic person who caused all that trouble with the order to have the old cross to be taken down coming down the pike finally...all because one person decided in his tiny little mind that the thing (which had been there since the early 50s) suddenly offended him. May Jesus come and help us. We have let things get so out of hand that it is getting harder everyday to straighten things back up so that the true happiness in our lives can be lived again. The PC crowd is hell bent on destroying everything good that this country stands for, and they have many allies. The ACLU who has been trying their best for some years now to get the "Christ" out of Christmas! And if that isn't bad enough....they have been working to get all public displays of God out of our daily lives so no one has to be subjected to it.

I got an email yesterday from someone that brought up some really good points. You turn against God, and talk against Him, and your life is going to end....literally. And when it ends....guess where you are going to go? It sure isn't paradise, let me clue you in on that one.

The mail talked about some pretty famous people who essentially "MOCKED" God! Here is their stories:


Make a personal reflection about this. Very interesting, read until the end...

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women who mocked God:

JOHN LENNON: Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: "Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

TANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500, 000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

CAZUZA ( - Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During a show in Canec?o ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you." He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC: After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it" The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.

MARILYN MONROE: She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". A week later , she was found dead in her apartment.

BON SCOTT: The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell". On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found , he had been choked by his own vomit.

CAMPINAS/SP: In 2005 In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU." She responded: "ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE TRUNK, CAUSE INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL". Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a crash. Everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken.

Christine Hewitt: a Jamaican Journalist and entertainer, said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name
that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died,
but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

JESUS!!!


WE have got to change the way we are doing things here and now. This coming election, though it isn't a Presidential one, is actually important in the fact that we have to start working towards the Presidential election of 2008! What we do next month will most likely work in complete conjunction with the next one. We have to go out and vote. Vote for the best person you can find for the offices that are being elected. DO NOT STAY HOME. DO NOT ABSTANE FROM VOTING. The Republican party, and the nation depends on our votes. Heaven forbid, if we don't do all we can, and Nancy Palosi becomes speaker....cause
if she does...I can tell you now....that Hillary will probably be our next president. We can't let that happen.

God Bless America

The FairTax plan......
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Is it a good one?
Topic: Time to Reform.....
We have all heard the talk. Neal Boortz talks about it all the time. What it is, is the FairTax Plan.

Neal isn't the only one talking of the benefits of such a tax.

If the politicians would just stop playing politics with our money, they would see them too. And there are many. Ones that will be discussed here.


The income tax system of this country has been in place for a long time, and with taxes going up every year, even though they don't have too, it is becoming evident that the government is taking much more than it's fair share, and much more than it needs to take.

And almost anyone who wants to know what is going on, can find out. Though talking to your government representatives may not be the way to go about this, as most oppose the FairTax Plan. I think mainly because they are afraid that they may lose some money to support the cushy lifestyle that most of them have grown accostomed too. Ones like Teddy Kennedy are the worst of the bunch. And that is complete bull.

They were, for one thing, not elected to become rich or live like Kings, even though ones like the idiot listed above think so, they were elected to represent US.

But getting away from that, here is how the FairTax Plan would work, and how, if implemented, would not only help America, but save Americans headaches come April 15th. For one thing, there would be NO income tax. No income tax means NO APRIL 15TH DEADLINE FOR TAXES. And that in itself would be a good enough reason don't you think? Here is how the FairTax Plan would work:



A Brief Summary of the FairTax Plan


The Fair Tax proposal is a comprehensive plan to replace federal income and payroll taxes, including personal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security/Medicare, self-employment, and corporate taxes. The FairTax proposal integrates such features as a progressive national retail sales tax, dollar-for-dollar revenue replacement, and a rebate to ensure that no American pays such federal taxes up to the poverty level. Included in the FairTax Plan is the repeal of the 16th Amendment of the Constitution. The FairTax allows Americans to keep 100 percent of their paychecks (minus any state income taxes), ends corporate taxes and compliance costs hidden in the retail costs of goods and services, and fully funds the federal government while fulfilling the promise of Social Security and Medicare.


Americans take home their whole paychecks.
Not only do more Americans have jobs, but they also take home 100 percent of their paychecks (except where state income taxes apply). No federal income taxes or payroll taxes are withheld from paychecks, pensions, or Social Security checks.


No Federal sales tax up to the peverty level means progressivity like today's tax system.
To ensure no American pays tax on necessities, the FairTax plan provides a prepaid, monthly rebate (prebate) for every registered household to cover the consumption tax spent on necessities up to the federal poverty level. This, along with several other features, is how the FairTax completely untaxes the poor, lowers the tax burden on most, while making the overall rate progressive. However, the FairTax is progressive based on lifestyle/spending choices, rather than simply punishing those taxpayers who are successful. Do you see how much freer life is with the FairTax instead of the income tax?


No Tax on used goods. The amount you pay to fund the government is totally visible.
With the FairTax, you are only taxed once on any good or service, that sales tax is charged just as state sales taxes are today. If you choose to buy used goods - used car, used home, used appliances - you do not pay the FairTax. If, as a business owner or farmer, you buy something for strictly business purposes (not for person consumption), you pay no consumption tax. When you decide what to buy and how much to spend, you see exactly how much you are contributing to the government with each purchase.


Retail prices no longer hide corporate taxes or their compliance costs, with drive up costs for those who can least, afford to pay.
Did you know that hidden income taxes and the cost of complying with them currently makde up 20 percent of more percent of all retail prices? It's true. According to Dr. Dale Jorgenson of Harvard University, hidden income taxes are passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices - from an average 22 percent on goods to an average 25 percent on services - for everything you buy. If competition does not allow prices to rise, corporations lower labor costs, again hurting those who can lease afford to lose their jobs. Finally, if prices are as high as competition allows and labor costs are as low as prctical, profits/dividends to shareholders are driven down, thereby hurting retirement savings for moms-and-pops and pension funds invested in Corporate America. With the FairTax, the sham of corporate taxation ends, competiton drives prices down, more people in America have jobs, and retirement/pension funds see improved performance.


The incometax exports our tobs, rather than our products. The FairTax brings jobs home.
Most importaly, the FairTax does not burden U.S. exports as they are with the current income tax. So the FairTax allows U.S. exports to sell overseas for prices 22 percent lower, on average, than they do now, with similar profit margins. Lower pirces sharply increase demand for U.S. exports, thereby increasing job creation in U.S. manufacturing sectors. At home, imports are subject to the same FairTax rate as domestically produced goods. Not only does the FairTax put U.S. products sold here on the same tax footing as foreign imports, but the dramatic lowering of compliance costs in comparision to other countries' value-added taxes also gives U.S. products a definitive pricing advantage which foreign tax systems cannot match.


The FairTax strategy is revenue neutrality: Neither raise nor lower taxes so consumer costs remain stable.
The FairTax pays for all current government operations, including Social Security and Medicare. Government revenues are more stable and predictable than with the federal income tax because consumption is a more constant revenue base than is income.


For example, if you were in a 23 percent income tax bracket, the federal government would take $23.00 out of every $100.00 you made. With the FairTax, if the federal government gets $23 out of every $100 spent in America, the same total revenue is delivered to the federal government. This is revenue neutrality. So, instead of paycheck-earning Americans paying 7.65 percent of their paychecks in Social Security/Medicare payroll taxes, pubs an average of 18 percent of their paychecks in federal income tax, for a total of about 25.65 percent, consumers in America pay only $23 out of every $100. Or about 30 percent at the cash resister when they elect to spend on new goods or services for their own personal consumption. And this tax is collected only on spending above the federal poverty level, providing important progressivity.


So you see, you can work with the FairTax plan.....and so can the Government, even though 99% of the Representatives in Washington say it can't be done. The only thing that you really have to do is to use Common Sense and you will see it too. Read the above that was taken from http://fairtaxgroups.com/index.php?topic=454.0

Go there and read it for yourself, or go to Neal Boortz.com and read about it. It is a very worthwhile thing, and will only serve to help America if it is ever implemented.


I checked out the link above and if copied and pasted into the address bar, it does work. As always........always remember,

God Bless America
