The BoBo Files

Do I even need to source anything here today?  First – Ted Stevens (R) Alaska – what an asshole!  Did he seriously think he could cover up $250,000 in “gifts” from big oil execs from VECO?  This guy is a classic case why we need term limits.  I know..we the people set the term limits, just vote their asses out…but..there are too many people out there just willing to vote party lines.  With people like him on the right and “Cold Cash” Jefferson and “Real Estate” Reid on the left..it just goes to show – they are all corrupt up there in D.C.  Is there not a decent person in Washington anymore?  I say come November, we start over completely.  If there’s a Dem in there now..vote for the Republican or Independent/Libertarian.  If there’s a Republican in there…vote for the Dem or the Independent/Libertarian.  We need to send a message to D.C. that we won’t take their power plays and corruption any longer.  Vote all of the incumbents out!

Next up – Nancy “Stretch” Pelosi (I know, I stole that from Mark Levin) – She’s been on the Today show and John Stewart show hocking her book.  John Stewart actually asked the tough question…why won’t she allow a debate and vote on offshore drilling!  You have to read the transcript to believe her response!  Here’s an exerpt from the discussion regarding drilling for oil:

Stewart: Tell me about the drilling; that’s the one thing I couldn’t wrap my head around. You know, I know there’s talk about drilling in some offshore areas; you didn’t want that to come up for a vote.

Pelosi: Well, in the past 2 weeks or so, the President is trying to maintain that, but for the offshore drilling in protected areas, the economy would be in great shape. I can’t let him get away with that. So the point is this: did you know that, in the “Lower 48,” there are 68 million acres [28 million hectares] that are approved for drilling, 33 million [13 Mha] of which are offshore. In Alaska — you wanna drill in Alaska, we’ll give you Alaska: there are tens of millions of acres in Alaska approved for drilling. But they want to drill in the protected areas.

Emphasis here is mine! Notice – she makes it personal. She puts personal grudges and politics ahead of the will of the people.  80% of this country has supported offshore drilling and extracting more of our own natural resources – but – she ignores our voices in order to play “Gotcha.”

Stewart: Is there oil underneath those acres?

Pelosi: Oh, tons of oil. Great oil.

Again – more lies! She knows damned well that most of those leases have already been explored and have been found to be duds. There’s nothing in those leases to extract!!

Stewart: Can’t you just open up the whole damned thing?

Pelosi: Well, why would you — in other words, we’re saying to them —

Stewart: You say drill the stuff you’ve already got.

Pelosi: “Use it or lose it!” Drill where you have the environmental permits and the approvals to go ahead, or lose that and let somebody else drill that.

What a bitch! The reason why no one else has drilled there is because THERE’S NOTHING THERE!!!!

Stewart: I’m saying, let’s steal everybody else’s milkshake. [reference to the film There Will Be Blood] That’s what I’m saying: let’s get the straws in there —

Pelosi: As long as it’s chocolate, right.

Stewart: Exactly.

Pelosi: Well, then, but also —

Stewart: So you think, no vote for that?

Pelosi: Well, for two weeks, they’ve been saying, “Oh, she won’t let us have a vote on it!” For ten years we couldn’t have a vote on the minimum wage, and nobody made a big fuss about that, and when we came in, we brought it to the floor vote on the minimum wage, the first time in 10 years. So they can try to make their case —

Again – for her – it’s a personal issue. The reason why minimum wage was not brought to the floor is because its bad for the economy and bad for business. Economics 101 tells you when you force a minimum wage on employers – they have to lay off people in order to meet those wages for others.  Not only that, minimum wage is NOT INTENDED to be a living wage!  It’s a stepping stone wage – you know – bottom of the rung employees looking to work their way up.  The minimum wage only effects about 2 million people in this country – mostly teens.  If you are married with kids making minimum wage – you’ve got a real problem!  But..don’t put it on the American people and on businesses to pay your minimum waged ass at age 40 because you don’t have a decent education.  There’s enough freakin’ government grants available to people like that to go back to college and earn a living wage.

What a freakin douchebag this lady is!

Can someone tell me what part of the constitution gives one person the power over an entire nation? My understanding is that Article I , Section 2, Clause 5 only states the House will choose their speaker. The constitution does not give the Speaker of the House the ability to dictate the agenda. It does not give the SOTH the authority to keep things OFF the agenda. (Nelson, if you read this perhaps you could point me in the direction of the constitution that grants the SOTH so much authority)  She was on the Today show and said her purpose for not allowing it to come to debate and vote is because “I’m saving the planet.” So – she puts her allegiance to the far left eco-terrorists and their extreme environmentalist agenda over the welfare of the people of this country.

Again – I say – come November – vote out ALL of the incumbents. The Dems feel they have November locked up already and that Obama is already crowned and they will gain more seats in both chambers of Congress. Let’s tell them HELL NO!!!!
