The Lost Senate Seat-Or Why Linda Will Win

Dick Blumenthal is lost. He in my economic opinion has lost the Senate race. He has no plan whatsoever. I am clueless as to where he stands on any issue other than he lied about his service to our country and has made a career being an anti business lawsuit in your face Attorney General. And he has help to make our state one of the most anti-business states in the country.
All the characteristics of what you want in a United States Senator-he actually would be a good follow for the equally economically illiterate and the on the take Chris Dodd, who still does not understand his sweetheart mortgage deal. What a debacle.
Linda McMahon will win this Senate seat. She actually has an economic plan that makes sense. This from her website:
“People create jobs, not governments.”

Washington got the stimulus dead wrong. In a matter of months, Washington spent trillions of dollars and ran it all through government bureaucracy. Instead of creating new private sector jobs, we got more job losses, bigger government and more debt — more than $13 trillion in federal debt that will cause long-term harm to the economy.

I believe government’s role in economic recovery must be to help create an environment where small businesses can succeed and grow. Small businesses have historically created 70% of new jobs — jobs that are self-sustaining and have a multiplier effect. Government jobs don’t do that. To grow, small businesses need a reduced tax burden and predictability so that they can plan and make investments. The economy is trying to recover, but Washington won’t let it. It is spending too much and creating tax and regulatory uncertainty that is paralyzing small businesses and stifling job creation.

It’s time for Washington to take an honest assessment, recognize these economic policies are failing and change course. We need to stop government growth and deficit spending. Smaller government will decrease the tax burden on small businesses and it will help reduce debilitating federal regulations that make it difficult to impossible for small businesses to plan for the future, expand and create jobs.

Dick Blumenthal has lost-he knows nothing about economics. Vote for Linda on election day.

Martha Dean For Attorney General

What a breath of fresh air! Martha Dean for Attorney General. Actually when Martha gets elected we can actually see some form of normalcy and the end of the brutal anti business sentiment that has engulfed this office for so many years under the Blumenthal regime. And the amount of tax monies he has wasted pursuing his political agenda, all the while never working a productive day in his life.
No, I truly believe Martha Dean is a breath of fresh air to represent Connecticut as our next Attorney General. She will help eliminate the mere 36,000 current frivolous lawsuits that the Blumenthal regime has helped to create. How can you not consider this a waste of taxpayer's monies even if you are a Democrat? And for what purpose? To get yourself in front of a television camera as Blumenthal needed to do on a daily basis?
What happened to upholding the law as Attorney General? I know that Attorney Dean will do this as her philosophies and integrity will not be compromised.
I will quote her from her website
Martha Dean's Priorities as Attorney General

1. To help Connecticut create a strong and competitive economy that benefits us all by:
* ensuring that law-abiding businesses are allowed to prosper in Connecticut
* ending the practice of trial by press release so that law-abiding companies are not driven away from, or out of, Connecticut
* vigorously enforcing consumer protection and environmental laws, since rebuilding our economy turns in part on Connecticut being a desirable place to live
* focusing on litigating only those enforcement actions that are supported by strong facts and clear law
2. To end select federal or state practices that run afoul of the U.S. Constitution, namely by:
* working with the legislature to end eminent domain abuse to provide better protection of citizens' property rights
* ending the inappropriate use of the AG's office to raise revenue, since this is the exclusive province of the legislature under our separation of powers form of constitutional democracy
* challenging the part of Obamacare that forces every American citizen to purchase health insurance, since it is an inappropriate expansion of federal power
3. To provide commonsense, timely and skilled legal advice to state agencies and officials by:
* working with the Governor, Treasurer, Comptroller and Secretary of State to accomplish the State's legal business efficiently while protecting the fundamental rights of the people
* identifying proposed legislation that does not appear to pass constitutional muster and working with the legislature to modify it appropriately
4. Continue the practice of the AG of educating the public on the laws of Connecticut, and legal issues of the day by:
* speaking to Connecticut's students about our legal system and respect for the law
* participating in debates on important legal issues
* educating the general public about the federal and state Constitutions and the important framework they provide in securing citizens' basic rights.

I hope you will vote for Martha Dean for Attorney General. I know my family will on November 2nd.

What Is The Plan For Connecticut's Enormous Debt?

I am curious. What is the plan for Connecticut's enormous debt? The Democratic super majority is now pointing fingers apparently at Governor Rell. Why I can not understand from an economics point of view. Connecticut's budget has grown to a ridiculous level over the past twenty years-twenty years of Democratic House and Senate rule along with an economically illiterate liberal Governor Lowell "Income Tax" Weicker. Income Tax Weicker shoved the state income tax down taxpayers throats and we have seen spending increase to astronomical proportions. And we have now incredible short term and long term debt with no end in site.
I am curious as to why we are continuing to trust our economic future to the hands of the tax and spend Democrat party? What is their plan? More taxes and more spending, I can not read anything different.
We really need change if we are going to survive economically. This election the Republicans are offering excellent candidates in Mike Vitali for State Representative in Wallingford, Jerry Farrell, Jr. for Secretary of State, Jeff Wright for Treasurer, Jack Orchulli for Comptroller, Martha Dean for Attorney General and Tom Foley for Governor. We can not economically afford the illogical Democratic super majority rule any longer.

Connecticut's Never Ending Debt-The New Round

A few billion here. A few billion there. What is a few billion dollars if you are the super majority Democratically controlled Connecticut House and Senate. If you are a Democrat you need not worry about the states debt. It is never the Democrats problem it is the other persons problem. Like the minority Republicans or better yet the taxpayers who have to support the constant and persistent wasteful spending of these same super majority Democrats. Then after the election we hear that no programs can be cut thus we must raise taxes. And so it goes over and over again. Like a car with no brakes, there are no fiscal restraints for the super majority. And why should they cut spending and not raise taxes? Simply put, they do not know how.
The road they are leading Connecticut taxpayers down is economically unsustainable and is doing a good job to help ruin our state's economy. It is the road of economic turmoil. Again I ask why would you want to vote these same economically illiterate Democrats back into office come November? Vote them out.

Communism and Rosa DeLauro-Why Are We Not Voting For Jerry Labriola?

Communism is alive and well in Connecticut's Third Congressional District. Going unnoticed by the media and the public was the front page photo in the New Haven Register Thursday 8/12 of Connecticut's Third Congressional District Representative Rosa DeLauro and Communist Party Chairperson Joelle Fishman hugging each other at a party for Social Security's 75th Anniversary. Since when do Communists embrace Social Security? We can see Connecticut's Third Congressional District Representative true political bend. She has now brought her liberalism to a new peak by embracing publicly a Communist. And obviously she is very proud of it. For the Democratic Party is a party of out control. It is a party whose hatred of our country shines through each and every day by the progressive totalitarianism of the Obama Administration and the destruction of the American Economy. Now Connecticut's Third Congressional District Representative Rosa DeLauro has insulted all the Veterans in her district, all the freedom loving individuals in her district and all the taxpayers in her district by this hug.
And she is actually running for reelection. She along with her Democratic friends; Charlie Rangel, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Franks and Harry Reid need to go. The disrespect for our country is sickening. What has she done in all of these years of power? Nothing.
In November the voters of Connecticut's Third Congressional District have a clear choice. Vote for an American, Jerry Labriola for Congress. Please do not let the deaths of all of those who died for our country fighting against Communism be in vain.

Vote for Mike Vitali in the 85th District

Mike Vitali is running for State Representative trying to earn votes to represent Wallingford in the 85th District. He is running against the Queen of tax and spend State Representative Mary Mushinsky who has been in office way too long and has been totally ineffective in representing us for too many years. He is an articulate young man who would have the best interests of Wallingford at heart. He is a local graduate of our school system and has been active in our community. He has refreshing ideas about the excessive taxes we pay in our state, concerned about his generation fleeing our state for better opportunities out of state and is worried about the massive debt Connecticut has. He is a breath of fresh air in this election. He is deserving of your vote in November. Change is essential in Hartford, Mike Vitali can lead that change for us in November. Please vote for him.

$6 Million Of Taxpayer's Monies Wasted

Connecticut Taxpayers do not have representation in Hartford. We have instead taxation without representation. We have a massive state deficit which now throws away an additional $6 million dollars of taxpayers monies on a liberal, wasteful, non productive Utopian political program which does not nothing to balance or make more competitive campaigns in our state. It is obvious if one is running for a national or high state office one needs to be wealthy. And then invest a great deal of that wealth in buying the position he or she wishes. It is comical. The Citizens' Election Program is a waste of time and money and does nothing for our state except to keep in power the economically illiterate Democratic super majority. We need this law to be repealed and for it top stop wasting our money. Connecticut is basically bankrupt. Democrats in Hartford need to understand this and that they are the cause of our economic debacle also.

Where Is Connecticut Headed?

Where is Connecticut headed? What path is being taken given the upcoming election? It seems like the Democrats here in our state are taking credit for a supposed robust economy in which spending has been cut to the bare bones, unfunded liabilities have all been accounted for and jobs are plentiful. In their Utopian state, excessive wasteful patronage spending does not exist, our young fight to stay in state and our tax rate is one of the lowest in the country. Their lies are comical. Just listen to their candidate for Secretary of State Denise Merrill and her irresponsible fiscal rhetoric about what her party has done in past years. Or listen to their ultra liberal tax and spend candidates for Governor who are now supposed fiscal conservatives-there is not a dimes worth of difference between Lamont and Malloy-both are equally unqualified to serve. How many Democratic Representatives and Senators are running away from their votes to increase spending and taxes year in and year out at the time of election? Connecticut is headed to further fiscal and economic turmoil and ineptness with continual votes for Democrats in office in Hartford. We can not afford economically the failed fiscal policies of the Democratic party in our state any longer.
We need private sector jobs, lower taxes, lower state spending, economic growth and real leadership.
In 2010 we need to vote Republican for real change in Hartford.

Why Excessive Bank Fees?

In my economic opinion banks are no longer user friendly. There are now making a large profit at the expense of taxpayers and consumers. Their fee structure is excessive considering banks do not offer any incentives to grow their customer’s savings and help them create wealth. Bank consumers need to be aware of this and not go blindly into their personal finances at 0.01% interest. This to me creates a disincentive to save. The value of your deposit is non existent due to this negative savings rate coupled with massive fees that banks charge you for your various accounts and transactions.
Now add to this a financial reform bill which further insults bank customers and will make it even more difficult to create new wealth in our economy.
The financial industry and this Administration has declared war on the investment and savings consumers and the net result will be a further decline in our economy due to the disincentives to save and invest. Thus what is the point of this policy? To help preserve old wealth, old banking mentality and old politicians who can control it with economically illogical laws, rules and fees? All of these areas harm the banking and investing consumer. Why?

A Financial Reform Bill That Does Not Reform Anything

I have to hand it to Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, they both know very little of our economic and financial systems. They know how to get paid for non productivity through taxpayer's monies for an eternity. They know how to manipulate campaign finance rules to get free money from the same companies they condemn and crucify (I guess shake them down for it). They know how to manipulate the press to their advantage although more and more citizens choose to ignore the mainstream media and their liberal bias. They know how to as in Chris Dodd's case get an illegal sweetheart mortgage that normal bank customers could not get. And they both know how to help screw up our free market financial system through a 2,300 page law that truly makes no economic sense in any way, shape or form.
As with everything in the Obama Presidency just throw something together like a failed economic stimulus, a failed nationalized health care plan and now a failed financial reform law, shove it down taxpayer's throats and then campaign to sell it the public. Just keep wasting time, taxpayer's monies and American economic freedom.
What a pathetic economic debacle we are witnessing compliments of the Obama Administration and a Democratic Congress.

0.01% Interest Rates

I have studied economic history for many years now. In our economic history there have been many credit crises. Each one has been marked by some sort of speculative economic issue that has taken place to help cause it, this past one by the subprime debacle.
Today 0.01% interest rates are currently being paid on many savings and checking accounts. And the banks are borrowing from the Fed at 0% interest and reinvesting that money in Fed/Governmental securities at 2-3% while they do not wish to lend money out nor pay more than .01% on savings/checking accounts. I have a severe issue with this especially when banks are not lending money out especially to small businesses. Why are they not lending money to the backbone of our economy?
The banks and Fed are in my economic opinion doing a great job in prolonging our recession along with an economically illiterate Congress and President. Consumers should be fleeing banks as fast as they can given this negative interest rate. They should be flocking to Credit Unions. And the supposed financial reform does nothing to reform our financial system, it is a half baked fantasy of Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, both who were equally responsible for the subprime crisis.
0.01% interest, have you had enough?

The Health Care Spin By Rosa DeLauro Or Why You Should Vote For Jerry Labriola

Rosa DeLauro must be running for reelection as can be seen by her recent propaganda piece on the recent socialized health care bill she helped to pass in Congress. This slick taxpayer paid for four color printed piece which was addressed to my daughter (we know she would not send it to anyone else in the house) shows how far out of touch with reality Democrats are with their socialized health care plan. The economic lies are far reaching in this piece. For example how this bill will actually reduce the deficit (which one-yearly or part of the $13 trillion dollar Obama national debt?) by $143 billion dollars in 10 years and then $1.2 trillion in the second ten years is beyond economic logic. How much does the bill actually spend and therefore how can it actually save this mythical money? No one knows because no one understands the economic implications of the ruining of the free market system that this bill embraces along with a socialized health care system that still does not address medical tort reform. How is it paid for? Tax the investments of rich families who earn $250,000 a year? Why? Why are they being penalized for their desire to get ahead in life and follow the free market economic system? Tax it and spend it, more of the same of the stale socialism of Rosa DeLauro and her fellow Democrats. This brochure is just a comical waste of taxpayers monies. Repeal this horrific law which will damage our economy beyond repair and force businesses to forget about expansion. This health care plan will make America sick.
It is a debacle of a bill. Thanks Rosa and by the way, if you are upset then you should vote for Jerry Labriola her opponent in November. Maybe change might then just work.

July 4, 1776 - July 4, 2010 234 Years of Freedom

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

We’re on the Eve of Economic Annihilation

Dedicated to all levels of governmental economic illiteracy:

The US economy it is imploding
Debt roaring, credit slowin’
You’re old enough to charge, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in debt, but what’s that card you’re holdin’
And even the Louisiana Coast has oil floatin’

But you said to me
Over and over and over again
You don’t believe
We’re on the Eve of Economic Annihilation

Don’t you understand economics?
Can’t you feel the taxes that are coming?
If the vote passes, there is no debate
No one will be working, with the world in debt
Take a look at governmental spending, it will sicken you today

But you said to me
Over and over and over again
You don’t believe
We’re on the Eve of Economic Annihilation

Yeah, my fiat money is so worthless it is play money
I’m running away from the banking system
I am sick of the political economic liars in Washington
And Tea Parties alone can’t bring change fast enough
When taxpayer respect is non existent
This economy and administration knows no economics or respect

But you said to me
Over and over and over again
You don’t believe
We’re on the Eve of Economic Annihilation

Think of all of the hate there is by our elected officials
Then look around in our world
You can leave for greener economic pastures
But they no longer exist
The usual cries of tax and spend are deafening
But we are no longer listenin’

And you said to me
Over and over and over again
You don’t believe
We’re on the Eve of Economic Annihilation
We’re on the Eve of Economic Annihilation


Swick Speak 6/28/10

And The Spill Continues

The late Economist Milton Friedman stated in 1975; “I think that the government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem and very often makes the problem worse.” How true he is with regards to the BP oil spill. We can see through this that Mr. Obama loves golf and not to govern during a crisis or really at any other time either. His $20 billion new slush fund extracted from BP will do little to help the situation from an economics point of view. And what is the point of the fund? Are we any closer to capping the well? Have we saved any more marine life by the fund? Is he going to hire some political friends for this new department and or force BP to use union cleanup crews? Are we going to have a czar for it? Are we going to have more daytime hearings by Congress on it which do nothing and prove nothing other than waste more taxpayers monies? Has this administration developed a replacement for all of this oil that has been lost and not drilled so as not to create an economic downturn because of it? Or just the opposite?
Mr. Obama could have taken a leadership role and helped to rectify this crisis-he has chosen not to. It is just another debacle in the long line of debacles that this administration has shown their ineptness in leading our country. And their ineptness in trying to solve economic issues and problems. This November we will see some real change in Congress and even more in November 2012 when he is voted out of office. Cap the spill today. Oh yeah that is right you guys do not want to waste a crisis.

My Father and Me

My father passed away last week. Walter taught me many things. I developed a great love of numbers, finance and the world of business and economics from him. In the 1967 I started to read his copy of the Wall Street Journal (I am 9 years old at the time). I learned about a big world out there, I tried to figure out how to get there at my age but was not able to. I always remember going to the stock brokers office one summer day with him. He had $1000 that he wanted to buy one share of Berkshire Hathaway stock. The broker laughed at him and used all types of reasons why it was a bad investment. Thus my father taking the advise of this expert went to his Plan B and bought Xerox stock instead. My father took a quick profit in it over the next few months and we shared this story many times over the years. What if he had bought it? His life and wealth would have been dramatically different.
The world of finance and business still amazes me today. To make something successful out of a concept is a great accomplishment which is rewarded by profit. There is nothing wrong with profit going to the risk taker. Our economy is based upon it something that is lost in our political system.
I still read the Wall Street Journal daily. And I miss my father and thank him for his teaching this lesson and many others to me at a young age.

Mike Vitali For State Representative In Wallingford's 85th District

Can you imagine serving for 30 years and see the state becoming one of the highest taxed states in the country, have one of the highest debts and borrowing to finance this debt in the country, have one of the greatest exodus of young people leave the state in the country, have one of the worse anti business atmospheres in the country due to a egotistical Attorney General that you back and just see your bond rating drop due to your excessive state spending? Presiding over this social and economic debacle has been State Representative Mary Mushinsky. And why do Wallingford voters keep bringing her back to office? For several years it has been because the Republicans could not field a candidate.
As was the case in 2008 and now in 2010, a strong, viable and conservative candidate has emerged from the wreckage called representation. Mike Vitali will run against the Mushinsky and Democratic political machine this fall. He will be running as a David against the Goliath of tax and spend in Hartford. He will be running against a liberal who has helped to decay Connecticut through massive social welfare programs and irrational laws.
Mr. Vitali offers a refreshing change to the stale policies and theories of Representative Mushinsky. His thoughts on jobs, taxes and spending are unique. He actually feels that taxpayers do not have an infinite amount of money to spend on unlimited taxes to fuel wasteful state programs. He is concerned with the younger generation fleeing the state. He feels the state wastes a great deal of money.
I will be talking more about Mr. Vitali in the coming months. He is a breath of fresh air for the taxpayers of Wallingford and he deserves your vote in November.

The Blame Of The Oil Spill

Politicians in my economic opinion love a good crisis. They can work the media to their advantage looking and feeling important. They try to show who is in charge and why they are so good at what they do. A crisis can stroke a politician's ego to the point of no return.
Thus as of today, I feel we are at a point of no return economically with the massive oil spill in Louisiana which still has been capped nor looks like it will be capped any time soon. However, we have a great deal of the political blame game carrying on with the media enjoying each minute of this crisis. I personally feel sorry for those businesses who will probably go under from this, all the new unemployed of the region and the massive losses of wildlife that has taken place. It is a tragedy of enormous proportions.
Yet I see no leadership from the President. He seems confused that a crisis of this magnitude needs to be addressed. He seems confused that the American public does not like the way he governs (if one can actually can call it governing). His embracing of government solving all of the problems of our country and the world for that matter seems to be imploding. And the oil keeps flowing with no end in sight. The American public can embrace that the end of governing by this President will mercifully end in 2012. Or did it ever begin?

How Is The Blumenthal Flap Over?

Just because he sent an email apology. What a coward, he could not even do it front of his cronies or for that matter even real Vietnam veterans who actually fought in Vietnam. Dick Blumenthal did everything he could to avoid service and time in Vietnam. And he has the audacity to ask these same veterans and families of those who lost their loved ones fighting in Vietnam to vote for him. Why? Why does Dick Blumenthal feel privileged now? After his lies about his service. About his disrespect for the Uniform of the United States Marines. It is absurd that he should even be running with his now soiled and tarnished image. His image of making Connecticut an anti business state with its egotistical and self serving Attorney General.
And his campaign just feels that it is behind them now and they can really attack Linda McMahon. Why? Because in my opinion the flap is not over, nor will it be over until after the election when Dick Blumenthal loses his campaign and Connecticut voters actually speak out against this liar.
Senator McMahon. Change not a lie.

Just What Connecticut Needs Another Lying Senator

The chosen one has misspoken. How does one do that? How does one get confused about what one did during war time? Was it that many years ago?
Now come the twists. The chosen one has fallen. The all powerful Connecticut Attorney General who has smashed and destroyed many over the years may have been beaten at his own game. A lie. Misspoken.
This is what Connecticut really needs another liar for a Senator. Dodd still has not come clean with regards to his sweetheart mortgage deals and the money that he has taken in donations over the years from the financial industry. Now the Blumenthal debacle. What horrific candidates the Connecticut Democrats put up for office. Just what Connecticut taxpayers need another lying Senator. Wait, I guess we have now a lying Attorney General. All at the taxpayers expense.
