A Momentary Lapse of Insanity . . . (Random Thoughts)

 

John Boehner (R-Ohio) suggested that after a string of voter fraud allegations against the "we just want to help register the poor and down trodden to vote" group, ACORN, it might be prudent to withdraw their federal funding!  

Washington, Oct 9 - House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement following mounting allegations of voter registration fraud perpetrated by the left-wing group ACORN:

“The latest allegations of voter registration fraud by ACORN are further evidence that this group cannot be trusted with another dollar of the taxpayers’ money.

“Election cycle after election cycle, this organization has been at the forefront of breaking the law in order to promote their left-wing agenda. All the while, they have been the recipients of millions of dollars of federal funding through various federal programs and third-party groups. House Republicans took at stand recently to cut off funding to an ACORN slush fund created by their allies in the House Majority, but now more must be done.

“All federal funding to ACORN must be stopped. The ACORN slush fund must be disbanded. Sources of federal funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development or any other agency must be stopped. Contracting for services between candidates for federal office and ACORN, as Senator Obama has done, must end. Now that the taxpayers own Fannie Mae, any funding from Fannie Mae’s nonprofit foundation to ACORN must stop.

“ACORN spent decades promoting the housing policies that brought America’s economy to the brink, and similarly over the years has committed fraud on our system of elections, making American voters question the fairness and accuracy of the exercise of their most fundamental right under the Constitution. Now it is time to cut off ACORN before it grows even more destructive.”

WOW!!!!  Why didn't I think of that!?  OH WAIT. . . I did think of that.  I wonder why it took the Minority Leader so long!?

Sarah Palin is Hateful, Stupid, Racist, Inarticulate, and She's MEAN Too! (Random Thoughts)



 Has Sarah Palin provoked you to rage?  Have you found yourself uttering profanities and shouting threats at total strangers?  You are not alone, but fortunately, the left has noticed, and they're looking out for you!  Mary Mitchell of the Chicago Sun-Times is furious and making demands!

Sarah Palin should apologize to the Obama campaign and the American people for her role in bringing out the worst in her supporters.

During a campaign rally yesterday in Clearwater, Florida supporters turned on the media after Palin again blamed mainstream media for her shortcomings.

According to a published report in the Washington Post, Palin reporters turned on the press after she blamed the media for her inarticulate interviews. Some supporters used racial slurs, and at one point someone in the audience yelled: "Kill him."

Palin's pit-bull mentality has not only set a negative tone, but a dangerous one. She should be censured

Do you suppose Ms. Mitchell is as concerned about insults, half truths, and lies hurled at Governor Palin and her family from the left?  Can anyone show me the article she wrote voicing outrage at the hacking of Sarah's email?  Funny stuff, liberal outrage!

China, The Gift, That Keeps on Giving! (Random Thoughts)

 

 

More cheery news from mainland China!  Apparently the victims of poison Chinese milk has doubled to over 90,000, and that's just within China itself.  God only knows what other countries will be affected by their tainted products.  But even more troubling is the Chinese government's reaction to the problem.

But as part of an ongoing effort to restore confidence in the "made in China" brand, the government on Wednesday also released new dairy safety standards, that set limits on melamine, a cheap industrial chemical that can be used to cheat quality checks.

The limits set by the Ministry of Health's new standards are one milligram of melamine per kilogram for infant formula, 2.5 milligrams per kilogram for liquid milk, milk powder and food products containing at least 15 percent milk.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said earlier this month that no amount of melamine is safe in baby formula, but China said it has set levels low enough to protect its people's health.

Are you kidding me? Isn't it time we severely limit, if not eliminate our imports from China?  I'm just sayin'!
