BRIBED CONGRESS ALLOWED MORTGAGE BANKERS FRAUD,
JUST PASSED BAILOUT BILL AFTER PLENTY OF PORK FOR ALL
The House of Representatives just passed the financial bailout bill
Thursday 263-171. Senate passed this bill Wednesday 74-25. Congress
squabbled until inserting enough pork for all. President Bush
immediately promised to sign this bill.

545 PEOPLE:
By Charlie Reese -- former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and
then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans
are against deficits, we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against
inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on
appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code. Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy. Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank
does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President and nine Supreme
Court justices -- 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly,
legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems
that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that
problem was created by the Congress.
In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a
sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound
reason. They have no legal authority.
They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a
president to do one cotton-picking thing.
I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.
The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the
lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how
he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that
what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con
regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive
amount of gall.
No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up
and criticized the President for creating deficits.
The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the
Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole
responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and
approving appropriations and taxes.
Who is the speaker of the House?
She, Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, is the leader of the
majority party.
She and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any
budget they want.
If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they
agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not
replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of
incompetence and irresponsibility.
I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable
directly to those 545 people.
When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the
power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is
what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement
plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they
hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and
advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to
regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists
disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation' or 'politics'
that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they
alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who
are their bosses -- provided the voters have the gumption to manage their
own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess.

This shouldn't be a surprise to ANYONE.
But, did you know that:
It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to defeat an incumbent Senator or
Representative in a general election because their popularity is so high
in their individual district. WHY, you ask?
Because they blame ALL the government's problems on:
A.) the President;
B.) the other party;
C.) the courts, or;
D.) lobbyists for special interest groups;
BUT, they take credit for grabbing every tax dollar available
(whether it's needed or not) for their district!
The bottom line is: People keep re-electing Senators and
Representatives who will promise them everything without looking into
whether or not it's good for the country. Greed, simple greed, is the
motivating factor in winning elections! Well, maybe lying to the
voters factors in a little bit.
--Larry Meyer, supporting member Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Assoc.
-----------------------------------------------------
I used to blame the people for electing poor quality candidates.
Now I know better. The media and the elite establishment hide the
good candidates from the public so that they can control the elected
candidates. Goodbye Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and Evan Bayh!!
