Is the Clinton Appointment legal?

Well, Hillary Clinton got the anointment from the “chosen one” Barack Obama to be Secretary of State, but is the appointment legal under the constitution? Some legal scholars say no.

They say the constitution forbids the appointment because the position received a raise while she held her Senate seat. Here is what Article 1, Section 6 of the constitution says: "No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office."

It seams pretty clear to me that it is not constitutional, but it hasn’t stopped other presidents from doing it in the past. After all it is just an out dated piece paper…just like Obama’s birth certificate.

Madame Secretary of State

No I am not talking about Condi Rice, but rather her highly probable replacement, Hillary Clinton. Hey, I am not going to rant and rave about this one. Obama could have went with John Kerry, which would have been a lot worse than Madame Secretary of State Clinton.

A Big T administration would have appointed John Bolton, but then I probably couldn’t even get elected as dogcatcher, let alone president. So whom I would have appointed doesn’t amount to a pile of pinto beans.

By the way, you do know who John Bolton is don’t you?

Hillary Clinton says without a bailout commerce could stop. That is a giant Bologna Sandwich!

Sarah Palin has even got praise from Hillary Clinton for her debate performance… Hmmm…first Bill praises her and then Hillary. I wonder if Obama feels that knife in his back yet.

You Got to See This: Preview of Hillary Clinton’s DNC Speech Tonight.

Big T got his hands on a copy of how Hilary Clinton’s speech may go tonight at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Of course the theme will no doubt be unity, or will it, take a look. This is funny stuff.

How is this for unity at the DNC? Apparently a black Barack Obama supporter called a black Hillary Clinton supporter an “Uncle Tom.”

Hillarycare II: the sequel

OK…first off this is straight off the rumor mill. I have not been able to find anything concrete about this, but rumor has it if Barrack Obama he will either give Hillary Clinotn a cabinet position or put her in charge of his healthcare initiative.

Hillarycare II: the sequel. If this doesn’t scare the life out of you then maybe you don’t remember Hillarycare I. In 1993 Bill Clinton let Hillary propose a health care plan. (Probably to distract her from his extra-curricular activities with interns, but that is another story.) Anyways, in Hillarycare I it was illegal for you to use your own money and see a doctor of your choice. You could actually go to jail for such a crime! I can only imagine what Hillarycare II would bring to the table.

The main reason I even mention any of this is to just let you know thanks to the dumb masses of the government educated nationalized health care is on the way whether you like it or not. Give the democrats control of the White House, Senate and House this November; it will be here a lot earlier than you might think.

For whatever reasons the majority of Americans do not feel they should be responsible for their own healthcare. This thought is just idiotic to me. Your health is the most important thing in your life and you have no responsibility for its care? Just doesn’t make sense to me.

Anyways, under the circumstances John McCain actually has some fairly good ideas for handling the “health care crisis.” These ideas would involve private sector options and not government. For instance, give the same tax breaks to workers or individuals when they buy their own policies that businesses get when they buy health insurance for workers.

When it comes to healthcare liberals want to empower government and politicians. Conservatives want to empower the free market and individuals.

Susan Estrich ponders Hillary as a third party candidate…not going to happen folks.

This ought to be a dandy… Hillary Clinton is going to appear on “The Oreilly Factor”

Incredible Moments During the Democratic Debate

There were two significantly incredible moments from the Democratic debate Wednesday night. The first one involved Barack Obama and the second Hillary Clinton.

Barack Obama was reminded that when capital gains taxes are cut federal revenues increase and when capital gains taxes are raised federal revenues decrease. Then asked in light of those statistics why was he campaigning for an increase in capital gains taxes? Obama's answer... “Capital gains taxes should go up out of fairness.”

There you have it. Spoken like a true liberal jack ass. Barack Obama believes that taxes should be used to make things more “fair.” In other words, taxes are not just for the legitimate operations of government, but to take from people who are making to much money and redistributing that money to those making too little.

So if you want to live in a place where politicians determine how much of the money you earn would be fair to keep, and how much should be taken and redistributed to someone else then Obama is your man.

I would prefer the wisdom of author Frederic Bastiat who writes in his book “The Law:” “If the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. If the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay...If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.”

Hillary Clinton says we're pulling out of Iraq no matter what if she is elected!

The other significantly incredible moment is when Hillary Clinton was asked, If the top generals and commanders of the U.S. Military came to you and told you pulling out of Iraq would completely destabilize the region and was the wrong thing to do, would you still pull troops out of Iraq? Clinton didn't even hesitate to answer “yes, absolutely.” She then went on to promise troops would begin to leave Iraq in six months if she is elected.

This comes from a candidate who voted in support of the war. She now wants to cut and run. This answer would have been more acceptable to me if Clinton had actually voted against the war, but it still would have been the wrong answer.

In fact a good friend, John, and I just had this conversation a couple days ago. I supported and agreed with the invasion of Iraq. John did not agree with the invasion or the war in Iraq. However, we both agree we must stay and finish the job in Iraq. John told me the consequences of leaving Iraq at this time are to great.

We both agreed the debate on whether or not the invasion and war in Iraq was right or wrong is irrelevant. We now must deal with the situation and prevent the region from destabilizing.

Another thing, pulling out of Iraq sends a clear message to our enemies that America will always leave before the job is finished. A message the Taliban has used since Somalia in their Information War campaign.

Will Democrats really desert their party for McCain?

Uh oh…this is bad news for the Democrat Party presidential hopefuls. According to a new Gallup poll a sizeable proportion of Democrats would vote for John McCain next November if he is matched up against the candidate they do not support for the Democratic nomination.

It appears Hillary Clinton supporters are the biggest deserters with more than 25% of them saying they would vote for McCain if Barack Obama is the nominee.

On the flip side, 19% of Obama supporters say they would vote for John McCain if Clinton is the nominee.

This is good news for McCain who still has questionable support from the conservative base of the Republican Party in an election that will probably be close. Perhaps McCain will be the next president…then again; you know what they say about polls. The only one that matters is on Election Day.

Now Mother Hillary wants to help you make your house payment. She wants a $30 billion housing fund, with 10 billion going toward refinancing “unworkable mortgages.”

The folks at the liberal blog daily kos is accusing the Hillary Clinton campaign of changing the shade of Barack Obama in a photo. They’re making him blacker in a racist plot. Little Green Footballs has the details.

Looks like Hillary will try to play Texas Caucus Hardball tomorrow. Basically, she is going to try and rob Texas from Obama. I am telling you folks, this woman will do anything to win.

Hillary and the photo attack on Obama

Well folks, it was bound to happen. We are a week out from what could be the death of Hillary Clinton’s chance to win the nomination. It should be no surprise an attack on Obama circulated this weekend.

Matt Drudge of the well known website The Drudge Report posted a photograph of Barack Obama dressed in a white turban and robe on Monday. He claims was sent e-mailed over the weekend from “Clinton staffers.”

The photo is from a trip the senator took to Kenya in 2006, where he was presented with the clothes from village elders.

In an interview with WOAI radio in San Antonio Barack defended the outfit.

"Everybody knows that whether it's me or Senator Clinton or Bill Clinton that when you travel to other countries they ask you to try on traditional garb that you have been given as a gift," he said. "The notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying to circulate this as a negative on the same day that Senator Clinton was giving a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world is sad."

Of course Hillary Clinton claims she knows nothing about the photo…

Yeah, she knows nothing about it…right. Just like she didn’t know where those Rose Law Firm billing records were, or who hired Craig Livingston, had no idea her husband was planning to pardon some Puerto Rican thugs to help her election chances in New York, and the whole Monica Lewinsky thing was dreamed up by the “vast right winged conspiracy.”

Now Obama is correct in his defense. Politicians frequently were attire according to the culture when abroad. When in Rome do as the Romans do. I am sure if we looked hard enough we could find all kinds of photos of Hillary in strange outfits. So why would she leak a photo? What is the deal?

Simple…The Clinton camp knew this was a clever way to play the Muslim and race card unnoticed. Obama is not your typical white politician dressing up in African robes, he is a black politician dressed up as an African leader. She also knows Obama wearing a turban makes him appear to be Muslim!

This is a sleazy cheap shot from a despicable woman that will do anything to get elected.

Now here are some questions about health care I would like to ask Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in their next debate. You can bet they will never be asked.

The New York Times is implying that the nomination is slipping away from Hillary Clinton. I look for some more tears before the Texas and Ohio primaries March 4. They’re must wins for her.

Star Parker takes a close look at Hillary’s plan for universal healthcare. Everyone needs to read this one.

Queen Clinton will garnish wages of those who refuse to enroll in healthcare plan.

Did you all see the soon to be crowned queen on This Week with George Stephanopoulus? Stephanopoulus had to ask her three times before getting a straight answer about what her plan was for people who don’t or won’t follow the socialized healthcare mandate.

Stephanopoulis: Will you have fines for people who don’t have health care, who don’t go by the mandate? Will you garnish their wages?

Clinton tries to dodge the question.

Stephanopoulis: Let me interrupt you there... I still haven’t heard if people can afford it and they don’t buy the insurance will their wages be garnished? Will they have to pay fines?

Another Clinton dodge….

Stephanopoulis: I want to bear down on this question one more time… Will you garnish wages of people who don’t comply, don’t buy the insurance?

Finally she answers: George, we will have an enforcement mechanism. Whether it’s that (garnishing wages from those who don’t comply) or some other mechanism through the tax system or automatic enrollments.

So according to the soon to be queen one of these three things is what will happen to you if you choose to take care of your own healthcare, rather than rely on the government to provide it for you.

1. Garnished wages: The government will take you to court and the court will then order you to pay or take property from you in order to satisfy your debt to the government.

2. Using the Tax System as enforcement: You know the FairTax would eliminate this option. Wouldn’t it be awesome to remove that power from Hillary and politicians? Wouldn’t it be great if the government no longer had the IRS and our current tax system to manipulate for their agenda? Just imagine the power you, the people, would have.

3. Automatic Enrollments: This option is the worst because it gives you no choice on whether you want government healthcare or not. It would be mandated. You have no freedom of choice or individual responsibility.

Isn't Queen Hillary going to be great! I can hardly wait.
