<![CDATA[**DOES ANYONE IN D.C. KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE DOING?? AND THEY WANT TO BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH CARE NEEDS?!!** Updated March 13, 2010 AP Obama's proposal to eliminate state-specific items in the health care bill comes with polls finding heightened public opposition to backroom political deals. WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says he wants projects helping specific states yanked from the health care bill Congress is writing. Democratic senators, being senators, beg to differ. The Senate-approved health measure lawmakers hope to send to Obama soon would steer $600 million over the next decade to Vermont in added federal payments for Medicaid and nearly as much to Massachusetts. Connecticut would get $100 million to build a hospital. About 800,000 Florida seniors could keep certain Medicare benefits. (***THAT BEING SAID; MEDICARE WILL BE CUTTING BENEFITS TO ALL SENIORS!!***) Asbestos-disease victims in tiny Libby, Mont., and some coal miners with black lung disease or their widows would get help, and there are prizes for Louisiana, the Dakotas and more states. "We're going to do what we have to do to get a bill out of the House and Senate," said James Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. As for Obama's wish list of deletions: "We'll certainly keep it in mind as we pull together a final bill." That tepid salute underscores the prickliness with which many senators have greeted what they consider Obama's meddling in their business and raises questions about how successful the president will be in erasing the special projects from final legislation. It also highlights a spat between a White House and Senate, dominated by the same party, that the president has ignited just as he needs to garner support to finally push his No. 1 legislative goal to passage over monolithic Republican opposition and nervous Democrats. Obama's proposal to eliminate state-specific items comes with polls finding heightened public opposition to backroom political deals. Republicans have been happy to fan that discontent. Many Democrats, particularly House moderates facing tight re-election battles this fall, are eager to dissociate themselves from such spending. The president wants votes from House Democrats "who were deeply offended by those provisions in the Senate bill," said Sheryl Skolnick, who analyzes federal health legislation for CRT Capital Group of Stamford, Conn. "Clearly the math was, 'I gain more in the House by taking out those provisions than I lose in the Senate."' Obama has railed against the "ugly process" of cutting special deals, but the president and his top advisers were prime players in negotiations on the agreements to win votes and push the legislation forward. Republicans say Obama's push to remove deals for states won't help. Because every Democratic senator voted for that chamber's bill and all its special provisions, even voting later to remove them leaves those Democrats in a pickle, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters Friday. "They will have then voted for them before they voted against them," McConnell said of the bill's projects, an echo of the line that 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry uttered that proved politically damaging. Obama came out with a summary last month of the nearly $1 trillion health overhaul legislation he wants. It specifically eliminates $100 million in extra Medicaid money the Senate bill provided solely to Nebraska to help win support from that state's Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson. The so-called Cornhusker Kickback drew such widespread scorn that even Nelson favors repealing it. Obama also proposed changes in the Senate bill that, without mentioning it, deleted extra Medicaid money for Massachusetts and Vermont, the Florida Medicare exemption and some money for Michigan, according to White House officials. Days later, at Obama's nationally televised meeting with bipartisan leaders on health care, his 2008 presidential rival, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., criticized the Senate bill for exempting 800,000 Florida seniors from cuts in the privately run Medicare Advantage program. Obama surprised him by agreeing, and that tone has carried over as the White House and top congressional Democrats labor to complete a compromise health package. "We've made it clear to the Senate that the president's position in the final legislation should not contain provisions that favor a single state or a single district differently than others," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said this week. There are exceptions. The White House says $300 million for Louisiana, which helped win support from moderate Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., should survive because of that state's struggle to rebound from its 2005 pummeling by Hurricane Katrina. Even so, Obama's targeting of state projects is going over poorly in the Senate. Take Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who helped win extra Medicaid money for his state in the Senate health bill. Vermont is one of several states that have already boosted the benefits they provide to many poor people. All states would get added federal financing for a nationwide Medicaid expansion under the Senate bill. But states such as Vermont -- already providing more generous benefits -- say they're being shortchanged and don't want Obama taking that money away. "What I told Harry Reid is that Vermont does the right thing, and I don't want Vermont to be penalized for doing the right thing," Leahy said. The White House asked lawmakers to delete $100 million to build a public hospital in Connecticut inserted by Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn. But the money will remain in the final bill, according to people familiar with Democratic negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose the unannounced decision. Less certain is the fate of other money the White House wants eliminated for Montana. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., put a provision in the Senate health bill allowing many of the 2,900 residents of Libby to qualify for Medicare benefits. Some of them have asbestos-related diseases from a now shuttered mine. "It simply doesn't make sense to ignore this obligation, or victims of these disasters," Baucus said. Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., won a Senate provision making it easier for longtime coal miners or miners' widows to get compensation for black lung disease. The Senate bill also has extra money for hospitals and doctors in North and South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. <a href="http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/pol/1640843832.html" rel="nofollow">http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/pol/1640843832.html</a> <a href="http://www.repealthebill.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.repealthebill.org/</a> ]]>

<![CDATA[Lets take a good hard look at these GOP Senators: Former GOP Sen. Majority Leader Trent "Redneck" Lott who was asked to step down from the U.S. Senate majority leadership in 2002 due to his race baiting, bigotry, and racially offensive he had made time and again. Earlier in his youth, it was said that he was a member of the White Citizens Council Group in his home state of Mississippi, an organization that promoted racial violence and committed Hate Crimes against Civil Rights Activists. GOP Sen. John Ensign from Nevada had an affair with a married woman by the name of Cindy Hampton. Ensign had his parents pay off $90,000 to Cindy's husband who knew about the affair and then at the same time put Cindy's teenage son on his Senate payroll. What a guy! GOP Sen. David Vitter from Louisiana was one of the GOP Senators who got Fox News to go undercover against ACORN. Ironically enough, this is the same guy who was having sex with prostitutes through an escort service that just so happened to be financed by none other then ACORN. Former GOP Sen. Larry Craig from Idaho who was openly against same sex marriage and gay rights turns out to be a closet homosexual himself in where he frequently visited numerous state highway restrooms within his home state and other places seeking intimacy with other homosexual men. ]]>

<![CDATA[Before the haters come out and criticize me. Please read the story below which was sent to me via E-mail, and tell me if there is any truth to it, or know how to find out because it is disturbing.........Thank you. ********************************************************** Ponder this outrage for a while!! FEDS GRANT EMINENT DOMAIN AS COLLATERAL TO CHINA FOR U.S. DEBTS BEIJING, China - Sources at the United States Embassy in Beijing China have just CONFIRMED that the United States of America has tendered to China a written agreement which grants to the People's Republic of China, an option to exercise Eminent Domain within the USA, as collateral for China's continued purchase of US Treasury Notes and existing US Currency reserves. The written agreement was brought to Beijing by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was formalized and agreed-to during her recent trip to China. This means that in the event the US Government defaults on its financial obligations to China, the Communist Government of China would be permitted to physically take - inside the USA - land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities - to satisfy the financial obligations of the US government. Put simply, the feds have now actually mortgaged the physical land and property of all citizens and businesses in the United States. They have given to a foreign power, their Constitutional power to "take" all of our property, as actual collateral for continued Chinese funding of US deficit spending and the continued carrying of US national debt. This is an unimaginable betrayal of every man, woman and child in the USA. An outrage worthy of violent overthrow. ----- UPDATE 1:40 pm EST Eminent Domain is the power of government to TAKE private property for public use without the consent of the property owner. Under our Constitution, the government can only "take" when providing "just compensation" for what they've taken. Who decides what constitutes "just compensation?" The government! Homeowners who felt the government was not paying them enough for property in past "takings" have filed lawsuits. In absolutely every such case, the value placed upon the property by the government was upheld by the courts. Our federal government has now granted to China, this power to "take"our homes and businesses in the event the US Gov't defaults on its debts. Let's play this out as a worst case scenario. . . . The US Gov't goes belly-up and China comes in and says, "they owed us $2 Trillion in Treasury Notes and another $2 Trillion in actual cash money which is now worthless. We are taking the entire state of Hawaii and the entire state of California in lieu of this bad debt. " With the stroke of a Chinese chop stick, Hawaii and California - all the land and buildings in those states - are now owned by China. The "taking" would be a "valid public use" because it was "taken" in payment of the public debt!!!! China could then turn around and declare the value of all that land to be worth. . . . . I dunno, ten cents on a dollar? For your $200,000 house, you get a Chinese check for $20,000. Needless to say, the property owners would go ballistic and demand "just compensation" for what was taken. Who gets to decide what is "just?" China! Don't think you got a fair price for what they took? No problem, sue China. You'll lose. People who live in those states and own their land outright, might be able to negotiate with China to "rent" back their own property, as long as the property owner continued to pay all his taxes; but the land and buildings would belong to China. This is what our own Government has just done to us and it is the single most vile act of betrayal in the history of human existence. ----- SECOND UPDATE 3:48 PM In early February nine U.S. States began the process of re- asserting their Sovereignty pursuant to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the US Constitution; declaring null and void any actions by Congress that violated the Constitution. The states took action to make certain the feds couldn't give away cities or the states themselves! This situation is going to get VERY ugly, VERY fast as one sovereign power (the feds) try to literally give away the land of other sovereign powers, (the states). This is the type of thing that starts Civil War. Our present federal government makes the treachery and betrayal of Benedict Arnold look like child's play.

<![CDATA[In a fitting show of skank solidarity for International Femanazi 's Day, Worst Lady Marxist Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hitlary Clinton made light of the brutal 2008 battle Clinton conducted to defeat Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. As Michelle Obama launched a State Department commemoration of International Women's Day, she briefly stumbled over Clinton's job title. "Let me thank my dear friend, Senator - Secretary Clinton. I almost said, 'President Clinton,' " said the first lady to laughter and applause. "But let me thank you for that kind introduction, and most of all thank you for your friendship, thank you for your support, and thank you for your indispensable advice in getting me through this first year and helping me figure out how to get my family settled in our new life in D.C." The exchange stood as another rebuke to a favored theme of the Beltway pundit set: that tensions between the Obamas and the Secretary of State still run high. More than that, though, the series of events that the first lady presided over drew wider attention to the stubborn lags in gender equality beyond the developed Western world. Both women stressed this issue in their respective speeches. As Secretary Clinton put it, the world "can't solve problems of financial crisis, climate change, disease and poverty if half of the population is left behind." Monday marked the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. The day doesn't get a great deal of attention within the United States, but many other countries honor it with a national holiday. Nations that officially honor it are far flung, ranging from China and Russia to Macedonia and Vietnam. Some countries will encourage men to lavish gifts on the women in their lives, in the tradition of greeting-card holidays like Father's Day and Mother's Day. Other countries promote women-only commemorations of the day, with all-female parties and dinners. The first lady also picked up on these ideas of stronger public recognition for women in her remarks on Monday, when the White House hosted its own event marking the importance of the March 8th holiday. "I get to speak while he stands and watches," the first lady announced, as the president looked on. She then told the president, "Look at me adoringly," to laughter from the crowd. He obliged with the reply, "I can do that"-whereupon she mock-chided him with the follow-up command, "With sincerity." ]]>

<![CDATA[The H-Bombþ Dear Reader, If you haven't heard yet, yesterday we kicked off the H-Bomb to retire Harry Reid! Harry Reid has been in the Senate for twenty-four long years. Over the course of his twenty-four years, Reid has been clearing a path for the federal government to take over more of our lives, our economy, our businesses, and, most recently, our health care. In fact, Reid is now Obama's #1 salesman in the US Senate for government-run healthcare. Yesterday we started the 48-hour H-Bomb. Our goal is to raise $24K, one thousand for every year Reid has been in the Senate. See how much we've raised so far and do your part to retire Reid at Tark2010.org/h-bomb. Hitting our goal will send a clear message that Nevada and America have had enough of the Obama and Reid policies. Help end Reid's disastrous twenty-four years in the Senate by contributing to the H-Bomb today. Recently, I was honored to receive an endorsement from Erick Erickson of RedState, Glenn Beck called me the Tea Party candidate in the Nevada Republican Senate primary and Sarah Palin's dad Chuck Heath has been hitting the campaign trail with me in Nevada. Momentum is building for our grassroots campaign. We only have a few hours left. Help us reach our goal and push us over the top at Tark2010.org/h-bomb. Thank You, Danny Tarkanian P.S.

<![CDATA[DEMS ABANDON ABORTION DEAL, READY HEALTH VOTE AP WASHINGTON -- House Democratic leaders Thursday abandoned a long struggle to strike a compromise on abortion in their ranks, gambling that they can secure the support for President Barack Obama's sweeping health care legislation with showdown votes looming as early as next week. In doing so, they are all but counting out a small but potentially decisive group whose views on abortion coverage have become the principal hang-up for Democrats fighting to achieve the biggest change in American health care in generations. Congressional leaders are hoping they can find enough support from other wavering Democrats to pass legislation that only cleared the House by five votes in an earlier incarnation. The concession came as House Democrats attended a lengthy meeting with White House health adviser Nancy Ann DeParle, who tried to answer questions, resolve differences and calm nerves, especially for lawmakers expecting tough challenges in November. Participants said they generally embraced White House-brokered compromises on prescription drug benefits for the elderly and new taxes on generous insurance plans. At stake is the president's call to expand health care to some 30 million people who lack insurance and to prohibit insurance company practices such as denying coverage to people who have been sick. Almost every American would be affected by the legislation, which would change the ways many people receive and pay for health care, from the most routine checkup to the most expensive, lifesaving treatment. And most Americans would be required by law to get health insurance. Republicans continued their fierce criticisms of the president's efforts, vowing to make Democrats pay dearly in the fall elections if they don't back off from what they brand a government takeover of health care. But senior Democrats predicted they can convince their colleagues that doing nothing is the worst option of all, politically and substantively. "The stars are aligning for victory on comprehensive health reform," said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel emerged from a meeting in the Capitol with top Democratic lawmakers Thursday night saying, "We made a lot of decisions. We're getting towards the end." The end might be near, but the outcome remains uncertain. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., must round up at least 216 votes when the real nose-counting and arm-twisting begin in a few days, after final cost estimates arrive from the Congressional Budget Office. All House and Senate Republicans have vowed to oppose the legislation. With Senate Democrats no longer able to block Republican filibusters, the strategy calls for House Democrats to embrace a health bill the Senate passed in December, despite their numerous objections. Democratic senators in turn would promise to make a limited number of changes under "budget reconciliation" rules, which bar filibusters. Republican and Democratic lawmakers quarreled Thursday over whether Obama must sign the Senate bill into law before Congress can make the changes, which Democrats see as crucial to making the overall package more politically palatable. Republicans plan to pounce on Democrats the instant the Senate bill becomes law, and House and Senate parliamentarians eventually may have to determine the allowable sequence of legislative actions. Congressional Democrats appeared to agree with the White House on Thursday on a handful of issues. One would close a coverage gap in the Medicare prescription drug benefit, the so-called doughnut hole that has caused financial and emotional stress for numerous elderly Americans. Another would impose a new excise tax, starting in 2018, on employer-provided health plans worth more than $10,200 for individuals and $27,500 for families. The Senate had wanted a stiffer tax on such "Cadillac plans," but the more labor-friendly House resisted. Obama tried to soothe the feelings of two generally liberal constituencies -- Congress's black and Hispanic caucuses -- in separate White House meetings Thursday. Some black lawmakers say the health legislation doesn't do enough to help poor people. Many Hispanic members say it mistreats illegal immigrants trying to buy insurance with their own money. One of the toughest hurdles facing Pelosi involves abortion. Some anti-abortion Democrats say the Senate language is not sufficiently airtight to prevent taxpayer dollars from mingling with money that might be used to subsidize abortions. Others disagree, and party leaders acknowledged Thursday they can't resolve the dispute using budget reconciliation rules. Instead they hope that only a few House Democrats who voted for the health care package in November will now switch to "no" because of the abortion issue. Party leaders think they can offset those defections by persuading some of the 39 House Democrats who voted "no" last year to switch to "yes." Many House Democrats who oppose legalized abortion "are either satisfied enough with the Senate provision, or they decide that that's as much as they're going to get and they don't want to defeat health care," said Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer concurred with Waxman's comments. Even if Pelosi and her allies can eke out a House victory, Senate Republicans are vowing to use almost every delaying tactic they can to slow final passage of the entire Democratic package, even if they're unable to kill it. Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., promised a sentence-by-sentence examination of the proposals, and scores of challenges. There will be "a lot of very tough votes on this bill," he said. The White House seemed to back away from its earlier insistence that Congress act by March 18. "If it takes a couple extra days after a year" of struggles, presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday, then "it takes a couple extra days." Gibbs also said Obama was pushing the Senate to remove some of the special deals that remain in the legislation. One, championed by Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., would provide Medicare benefits to residents of tiny Libby, Mont., who suffer from asbestos-related illnesses from a now-closed mining operation. The other, sought by Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., could spend $100 million to build a hospital at the University of Connecticut. "We've made it clear to the Senate that the president's position in the final legislation should not contain provisions that favor a single state or a single district differently than others," Gibbs said. The request drew a chilly response from senators. Jim Manley, spokesman for Reid, said the leader's office "appreciates the White House views, but no decisions have been made." Democratic leaders must resolve several more issues before presenting a final package to their colleagues and the public. Lawmakers have not decided whether to attach an overhaul of the college student loan program to the health legislation. Nor have they settled on details for a higher Medicare tax on wealthy Americans, treatment of a dozen states that give their residents relatively generous Medicaid benefits and subsidies to help low-income people buy health insurance. ]]>

<![CDATA[Typical, the whole vid wasn't shown. No one has hinted that healthcare reform will stop or lower premium increases. The only hope is that Health care might rise closer to the rate of regular inflation. (So a 3%-5% increase instead of a 15% to 30% increase yearly)]]>

<![CDATA[Just wondering. Don't you think that more people will be in favor of laws directed at lowering health care costs when they have to pay into the system? As it stands right now, a good chunk of the country doesn't purchase insurance, and most of the people that do buy it don't know what they're paying for (why a Tylenol costs $4 in a hospital, $12 if you don't have insurance.) I asked a question last week. I'm diabetic, I have a job that offers insurance that sucks and I'm having trouble buying my meds. My question was if I should lower my medication intake against the recommendations of 2 doctors or change my job so I can get on the state health plan that has better coverage for ½ the cost. The only answer I got was to go on the south beach diet, move to New Hampshire and tell the doctors to screw (this answer translates into killing myself).]]>

<![CDATA[Obama: When All Else Fails Lie, Cheat & Deal ALERT: Democrats are attacking anybody that dares to stop Obama's extreme quest to destroy healthcare in America. Rejecting sensible ideas, not starting over, feeding on the members of their own party and when all else fails Obama, Pelosi and Reid have become true dictators as they lie, cheat and deal. Obama is defying the public to ram ObamaCare into law at any cost betraying America and this is not the change we are looking for. TELL ALL 261 Democrat/Independent Representatives, Blue Dog Democrats AND President Obama To KILL THIS BILL and CUT HealthCare COSTS FIRST. Select Here SEND YOUR FAXES NOW! 75% of Americans polled by CNN reject it. Pelosi says - JUST PASS THE BILL THEN YOU CAN READ WHAT'S IN IT! Shamefully, Obama, Pelosi and Reid are using strong arm tactics and are buying votes with empty promises to House Democrats. They say they will change the bill after passage to remove special deals to individual states, cut healthcare costs, save Medicare benefits and include government run healthcare with the public option. Pelosi has told Democrats that they should sacrifice their own re-election if necessary so that Obama can get his way. Democrats owe their loyalty to the people who elect them not to the leaders of the DNC? True democrats - regardless of party - understand that they are not in office to fulfill their own wishes. They are there as the representatives of the people. They must stand up to do the right thing and protect all Americans. Democrats who choose to follow Obama and Pelosi, in defiance of their constituents, are showing a true lack of character and should be removed from office. House Democrats and Republicans must stop Pelosi and Reid from using a slick budget process that requires the House to pass the Senate version of ObamaCare without changes. Just last month Democrats passed a pay as you go budget policy because it was politically correct saying any new unbudgeted items added to the budget would be paid for with cuts. One month later they decided to ignore the new law and added a $10 billion benefits extension in new unbudgeted debt and vilify Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky for daring to make them pay for it first. Obama and the Democrats cannot be trusted with a Healthcare entitlement that is already estimated to be 30% of the Federal budget. Obama lied in a recent speech saying his scheme would save $1Trillion "over the next decade." The CBO however estimated the bill would save $132 billion from 2010 to 2019, leaving Obama's "next decade" estimate $868 billion short. The budget office also said "A detailed year-by-year projection for years beyond 2019 ... would not be meaningful, because the uncertainties involved are simply too great." There is no way to stop ObamaCare in the Senate since Obama has ordered Reid to use reconciliation, FORCING THE BILL TO PASS WITH 51 VOTES. But we can beat it in the House! Dozens of Congressmen who voted for the bill last time are re-thinking their support as tax increases and special deals to buy off Senators are included. And, since the bill passed by only 220-215, Pelosi has no Democratic margin for error. This is the biggest gamble of Obama's presidency. Nancy Pelosi may not have the votes to pass the healthcare bill through the House. So, Obama is telling the Blue Dogs that he is prepared to sacrifice them in order to get ObamaCare. Will they cave in and throw away their chances in November, or will they finally live up to their "conservative" label?

Why only post Fraser's comments on the old version of the bill, without giving Fraser credit or posting his entire letter? Afraid someone will notice that it's STALE NEWS? Well, I expect to see a lot more of this as the President appears to be getting somewhere with health care reform. More scare tactics. More smears against politicians. More lame comments about the size of the First Lady's butt. You cons are such moonbats. When you post anti-healthcare-reform text, don't put any thought into it.

<![CDATA[Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Patches Kennedy Freaks Out on House Floor The cut-and-run Congressthing from Rhode Island launches into a spittle-flecked meltdown over the paucity of media coverage of House members looking to cut and run from Afghaninstan. Uh, Patches, you want to know why so few media were there? Because it was just some far left kooks such as yourself and Dennis Kucinich braying about in opposition to your president, while Republicans were saluting Obama and the media doesn't want to show the one being opposed by members of his own party. The resolution led to an unusual three-hour debate on war policy, one of the few formal House floor sessions on Afghanistan since the U.S. sent troops there in 2001 following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Some Republicans passionately praised Obama for his policies on Afghanistan during the debate, while many liberal Democrats angrily denounced the continuing U.S. involvement there, although most refrained from attacking Obama directly. Neither party's leadership formally instructed their members to take one side or the other in the debate as they do on most important votes. "The military escalation cements the path of the United States down the road of previous occupiers that earned Afghanistan its nickname as the 'graveyard of empires," said Kucinich. Good thing for his own mental health Kennedy is leaving Congress. A few more tantrums like this and he might have a seizure.

<![CDATA[Her left-wing ass is even bigger than Marxist Michelle Obama`s! AP – Constance McMillen, an 18-year-old senior at Itawamba County Agricultural High School, reacts to a message … .By SHELIA BYRD, Associated Press Writer Shelia Byrd, Associated Press Writer – 1 min ago JACKSON, Miss. – Constance McMillen didn't believe her Mississippi school district would really call off her senior prom rather than allow her to show up with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo. On Thursday, a day after the Itawamba County school board did just that, the 18-year-old lesbian high school senior reluctantly returned to campus to some unfriendly looks, she said. "Somebody said, 'Thanks for ruining my senior year.'" McMillen said. The district announced Wednesday it wouldn't host the April 2 prom. The decision came after the American Civil Liberties Union demanded that officials change a policy banning same-sex prom dates because it violated students' rights. And the ACLU said the district not letting McMillen wear a tuxedo violated her free expression rights. The ACLU filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Oxford to force the school district to sponsor the prom and allow McMillen to bring whom she chooses and wear what she wants. District officials didn't returned numerous calls left by The Associated Press seeking comment on Thursday. McMillen said she never expected the district to respond the way it did. "A lot of people said that was going to happen, but I said, they had already spent too much money on the prom" to cancel it, she said. "I'm just trying to get done what I originally wanted done. Now, we're having to fight just to have a prom." McMillen said she didn't want to go back to Itawamba County Agricultural High School in Fulton the morning after the decision, but her father told her she needed to face her classmates, teachers and school officials. "My daddy told me that I needed to show them that I'm still proud of who I am," McMillen told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "The fact that this will help people later on, that's what's helping me to go on." A school board statement said it wouldn't host the event in Fulton, "due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events" but never mentioned McMillen or her girlfriend, who also is a student at the school. Same-sex prom dates and cross-dressing are new issues for many high schools around the country, said Daryl Presgraves, a spokesman for GLSEN: Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, a Washington-based advocacy group. "A lot of schools actually react rather than do the research and find out what the rights of these students are," said Presgraves, who was preparing to facilitate a discussion about anti-gay bullying at a National Association of Secondary School Principals meeting. U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., said a bill he's introduced in Congress would protect students such as McMillen. Polis said the measure would make it illegal to discriminate against gay and lesbian school students. He said his bill is modeled after similar laws in at least 10 states. "This situation with the prom is a perfect example of why we need to protect students from discrimination. In this case it's a prom. It other cases, it's getting beaten up or killed," Polis said. Polis said he was "dismayed" by the school board's action. "They ruined the prom, not only for this young woman, but for all of the straight kids at the school," he said. The school district had said it hoped a privately sponsored prom could be held. McMillen said if that happens, she's sure she'll be excluded. "It's a small town in Mississippi, and it's run by an older generation with money. Most of them are more conservative and they don't agree with it," she said. Fulton Mayor Paul Walker said he supports the school district's decision and knew of no private efforts to host the prom. "I think the community as a whole is probably in support of the school district," Walker said of the town of about 4,000. Southside Baptist Church Pastor Bobby Crenshaw said he's seen the South portrayed as "backwards" on Web sites discussing the issue, "but a lot more people here have biblically based values." Itawamba County is a rural area of about 23,000 people in north Mississippi near the Alabama state line. It's near Pontotoc County, Miss., where more than a decade ago school officials were sued in federal court over their practice of student-led intercom prayer and Bible classes. A couple of students had different reactions to the decision. Anna Watson, a 17-year-old junior at the high school, was looking forward to the prom, especially since the town's only hotspot is the bowling alley, she said. "I am a little bummed out about it. I guess it's a decision that had to be made. Either way someone was going to get disappointed — either Constance was or we were," Watson said. "I don't agree with homosexuality, but I can't change what another person thinks or does." McKenzie Chaney, 16, said she wasn't planning to attend the prom, but "it's kind of ridiculous that they can't let her wear the tuxedo and it all be over with." Presgraves said his organization hears about school districts that prohibit same-sex prom dates and gay-straight alliance clubs at schools. He said those kind of policies are detrimental to gay students. "It sends a message that these students shouldn't be treated the same," Presgraves said ]]>

After much debate, the Joint Committee on Revenue rejected legislation HB 3854 filed last year by Representative Steven D’Amico that would have rolled the film tax incentive back to 2006 levels. A Boston Globe article quoted the president of the MA Production Coalition upon hearing the result, “Defeating this bill is an important step in preserving the hard-won gains for the scores of Massachusetts businesses and the thousands of working men and women in the Commonwealth who have benefited from the film credit” …” The Commonwealth simply can’t afford to lose the film credit.” Enacted in 2006, The Mass. Film Tax credit provides a refundable tax credit for 25 percent of qualifying wage and non-wage production expenses and a sales tax exemption for in-state spending. No doubt the local film community will be celebrating this win tonight! ]]>

<![CDATA[ The fake photo you desire, yet dismiss immediately, would certainly be that upside-down book. And although you apparently speak for all liberals by saying that they never claimed it happened, I am not speaking for anyone but myself. I contend that these Bush-is-an-idiot, Bush-is-a-monkey, Michelle-wears-skanky-clothes, etc. doctored photos will be recognized my many as fake but believed by some as real. And yes, those who want to believe that Obama was born in Kenya will embrace the Welcome To Kenya sign as fact. I am laughing at them too. They could just as easily show the AP newspaper headline saying that Kenyan-born Obama was elected to the senate. That's irrelevant, too, even though it's true. We're stuck with B.O. for 3 more years and the birthers aren't getting any traction. However, as Obama's approval numbers continue to fall and polsters say it will be a bloodbath for democrats in November, do not be surprised if it becomes the democrats demanding to see his birth certificate and the GOP claiming he was born in the USA in order to control the damage he's doing to their party.]]>

Yep, these fake pictures are shared among the fools, to promote further hatred of the Obama family. If I were a con, I'd go around to all those sites and tell them they're being played for fools, and to please remove the fake photos, because it's an embarrassment to the Republican party and the conservative movement. But I'm not a con, so I'll leave it to the cons to decide whether to do damage control, or the continue with their foolish hysteria over a dress and a Welcome sign.]]>

<![CDATA[Thanks for posting that hilarious diatribe by Ann Coulter. She doesn't need facts or logic to write an entertaining yarn. She does a Nexis search so she sounds like she's gathering facts, and then she draws wacky conclusions from her "research." I did a little research, too. According to Coulter's article, liberal lawyers would never take a case like defending a man who killed an abortion doctor. But that's exactly what happened in the case of Michael Griffin, who murdered abortion doctor David Gunn in Pensacola, FL. Griffin's attorney, Robert Kerrigan, is probably a Democrat. If you look up Kerrigan's public profile of campaign contributions, you'll find he supported Obama, John Edwards, MoveOn.org, and other democratic candidates and liberal PACs. Ann Coulter: FAIL. But at least she's a funny dumbass! Coulter referred to Bill Clinton as "a horny hick who promised to save partial-birth abortion." That's why I think she's hilarious. ]]>

<![CDATA[A group of "leading conservative lawyers" -- a phrase never confused with "U.S. Marines" -- has produced an embarrassingly pompous letter denouncing Liz Cheney for demanding the names of attorneys at the Justice Department who formerly represented Guantanamo detainees. The letter calls Cheney's demand "shameful," before unleashing this steaming pile of idiocy: "The American tradition of zealous representation of unpopular clients is at least as old as John Adams' representation of the British soldiers charged in the Boston Massacre." Yes, but even John Adams didn't take a job with the government for another 19 years after defending the British guards -- who, in 1770, were "the police." He also didn't take a position with the U.S. government that involved processing British murder suspects. I'd be more interested in hearing about the sacred duty of lawyers to defend "unpopular clients" if we were talking about clients who are unpopular with anyone lawyers know. Every white shoe law firm in the country has been clamoring to take the cases of Guantanamo detainees, while young associates line up to be put on the case. This is even more fun than defending Ted Bundy! As The Wall Street Journal put it in a 2007 article, a list of the law firms representing Guantanamo detainees "reads like a who's who of America's most prestigious law firms" -- which conveniently doubles as Santa's "naughty" list. The terrorists' lawyers have included Shearman and Sterling, Arnold & Porter; Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr; Covington & Burling; Hunton & Williams; Sullivan & Cromwell; Debevoise & Plimpton; King & Spalding; Cleary Gottlieb, Morrison & Foerster; Jenner & Block; O'Melveny & Myers and Sidley Austin. At least 34 of the 50 largest firms in the United States have performed pro bono work on behalf of Guantanamo detainees. Years ago, when I nearly died of boredom working for a law firm, I heard whispered rumors about a partner, Michael Tierney, whom none of the female associates wanted to work with because his pro bono work included defending -- gasp! -- pro-life groups. (There was at least one female associate who wanted to work with him!) I didn't hear a peep about the august "American tradition of zealous representation of unpopular clients" back then. Like Hollywood actresses, lawyers need to believe they're noble and courageous to help them forget that they are corporate drones doing soul-destroying work, which mostly consists of making photocopies. Defending terrorists gives status-conscious attorneys a chance to get standing ovations at the annual ABA convention -- much like promoting "global warming" makes climatologists feel like they're saving the world, rather than studying water vapor. It took me exactly one Nexis search for "ABA," "award" and "Guantanamo" to find that the 2006 "Outstanding Scholar Award" at the ABA annual banquet was given to New York University law professor Anthony G. Amsterdam for his "extensive pro bono practice, litigating cases that range from civil rights claims, to death penalty defense, to claims of access to the courts for the detainees at Guantanamo Bay." A rule I have is: You're not defending an unpopular client if you're getting awards from the ABA, particularly if the award mentions "courage." You'll never see a pompous letter like the one attacking Liz Cheney on behalf of any lawyer defending clients who are unpopular with lawyers, which terrorists are not. Ken Starr, a signatory to the "Please God, Let This Get Me a Good Obituary in The New York Times" letter, once, totally by mistake, had a case unpopular with the establishment: Bill Clinton's impeachment. He's shown his mettle by saying that if he met Clinton today, he'd say "I'm sorry." Because isn't that what Jesus said? Be very concerned with the opinion of the world! Speaking of which, I also never heard any testimonials to the sacred duty of lawyers to defend unpopular causes when every lawyer working on the Clinton impeachment was being smeared as a "tobacco lawyer." Tobacco companies, being wildly unpopular, are in need of a lot of legal services. Scratch any litigator from a big law firm and you'll find someone who, if necessary, could be slimed as a "tobacco lawyer." You will notice a pattern developing: We only hear paeans to the "American tradition of zealous representation of unpopular clients" when it's being used to defend causes popular with liberals -- serial killers, terrorists and a horny hick who promised to save partial-birth abortion. Lawyers want to be congratulated for their courage in defending "unpopular" clients, while taking cases that are utterly noncontroversial in their social circles. They'd be scared to death to take the case of an anti-abortion activist. Defending the guy who killed George Tiller the Baby Killer won't make them a superstar at the next ABA convention. Not only do Americans have a right to know the legal backgrounds of lawyers setting detainee policy at the Department of Justice, but I personally demand the right not to have to listen to Eddie Haskell lawyers constantly claiming to be Atticus Finch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ann Coulter is Legal Affairs Correspondent for HUMAN EVENTS and author of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors," "Slander," ""How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)," "Godless," "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans" and most recently, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and their Assault on America. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ]]>

<![CDATA[Agreed, both parties make silly cartoons. But why does the RNC need to use cartoons to get donations? It's because they can't attack Obama on real issues. From 2002-2008, when leftwing groups and candidates tried to get my donations, they never sent me dumb pictures of Bush-the-Nazi. They never had to. He started a war based on lies and is responsible for the death of many American soldiers. That truth was enough to turn me against Bush. Didn't need cartoons. And I know you still think that Bush's Iraq war was a correct response to a terrorist attack. But it was terrorists from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq, who attacked the World Trade Center. Bush tried to get Americans to blame Saddam for 9/11, even though Al Qaeda didn't even exist in Iraq until *after* GWB started the war there. Bush's administration used an informant's lies to convince Congress that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. This fact has been documented. Cold, hard facts that the Iraq War was a farce. And too many died as a result. This is not a liberal cartoon. It's reality.]]>

Maybe beaner met one of them and thinks we're all like that. But not anyone I know.

Also, painting a dress on the First Lady that she never wore, and then insulting her for wearing the dress you put on her is a despicable type of deception.

And your only education is from keith olberman . or msnbc . So i understand when anyone from the wheres my handout party does it . But you must admit whenever anyone brings up an issue and you say some truth they come back with some utube or msnbc crap. I WATCH MSNBC WHEN I WANT TO LAUGH. at how stupid they are or think the people are . ANYONE who believes msnbc is a joke .]]>

<![CDATA[CL conservatives declare that Michelle Obama is a skank and has no class. There is no evidence of this in real life. Yet the CL conservatives are the ones who have no class. For example, to prove he is a classless skank, one of them posted a fake photo of First Lady on toilet: <a href="http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/pol/1638439501.html" rel="nofollow">http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/pol/1638439501.html</a>]]>

<![CDATA[Why does the Republican National Committee use cartoon characters like Scooby Doo and the Joker when finding ways to appeal to its small donors? One look at the immature conservatives on CL shows why the RNC has to do this. This slide from the RNC presentation makes perfect sense.]]>

<![CDATA[Craigslist #2 moron has chimed in: "Which picture was the original?" I said the fake was on the left, and the real one on the right. Do you know how to read and comprehend? "Not that it makes a lot of differences, both dresses were tacky crap you would expect to find on a working girl." By "working girl", do you mean a prostitute? You know very well that both dresses would look conservative on a prostitute. "However, the skank part was right on." "Skank" typically means "sleazy" or "filthy." The First Lady is wearing a lovely dress by famous designer Diane von Furstenberg. Is it your wretched hatred of the President that makes you search for new ways to insult his family? What is so "sleazy" about the dress or about Mrs. Obama? Do you cons have any real issues to discuss? Or has the Republican Party really sunken to the level where a fake photo of the first lady, and fake "Welcome to Kenya" signs are the best ammunition you have against the current administration? Pathetic.]]>

<![CDATA[Anyone Here Want Subsidies For Corporations??????? .......What Kaptain are you talking about??? Kaptain militates when Taxpayers PAY for Corporations, BIG-Brother, or Poverty Immigration. Get your facts down, before spouting off. ..]]>

<![CDATA[Actually, I believe that Kaptain Dumbass was actually referring to tort reform, which does mean more government control over the judicial system. Yet he claims to be a Libertarian, so he should be against tort reform. Really, he seems more like a Retardicon. Fear Propaganda Tactics. Religious Craziness. Tort Reform. Hypocrisy. Sounds like a Retardicon to me. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hey let's just spend this country into oblivion Free Government gifts to corporations and the rich. Retardicons give trillions to oil companies. Give trillions in tax breaks to the rich. Give trillions to Big Pharma. Give trillions to Muslim nations. Give trillions to the War machine. Give trillions to Bankers and Wall Street. My wallet is already hurting from retardicon policies. Hey, how those tax breaks for the rich treating you. Where are all the jobs they are creating. They have the wealth, they have the tax breaks, the economy should be doing great by retardicon economics. ]]>

<![CDATA[you said: "It's funny that Kaptain Dumbass is always talking about less government, yet wants the government to override the judicial system that is already in place to handle such claims." In defense of Kaptain, he didn't actually say he wants the government to override the judicial system. Tort reform might be implied, but what he actually said was for liberals to ask their lawyer friends to stop doing their jobs. That's what I find funny, telling us that we should tell people to stop trying to make a buck. I thought our country was all about making money through one's profession.]]>
