Americans Not Fooled By Obama’s Deficit Commission

joshperry — Sat, 01 May 2010 15:25:10 +0000

Posted by Jeffery Berkowitz

After promising that his stimulus would stem unemployment at 8% (it failed), that government-run health care will reduce costs (they’ll rise) and that his financial reform plan would end too-big-to-fail (hardly), Americans are rightly concerned that there is a growing credibility gap between Obama’s lofty promises and the disastrous results. So, when asked about the President’s Deficit Commission, voters are no fools – they see it as a clear backdoor to raising taxes to pay for more bloated government binge spending. A Rasmussen poll conducted this week shows that Americans are wise to Obama’s Show-Me-The-VAT Commission:

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 51% of Adults believe the commission is more likely to propose tax increases than spending cuts. Just 22% say the commission is more likely to call for spending cuts instead. . . Only 30% think Congress is at least somewhat likely to actually make the spending cuts the deficit commission proposes, while 62% say Congress is unlikely to do so. . . On the other hand, 78% think it’s at least somewhat likely that Congress will raise taxes if the commission proposes any tax hikes, including 53% who say the legislators are very likely to do so.

And when it comes to all the revenue that the Deficit Commission’s recommendations would generate, Americans know what Democrats would do with it.

Even if the president and Congress raise taxes to reduce the federal deficit, 58% of voters think they are more likely to spend the money on new government programs.

With the President continuing his attempts to hoodwink the American people, maybe it’s time he listens to President Lincoln. “You cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”

RNC Launches New Web Site ObamaVConstitution.com

joshperry — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 21:05:15 +0000

WASHINGTON – Today the Republican National Committee announced a new website ObamaVConstitution.com. The new site will allow Americans to learn more about Obama’s disturbing judicial philosophy and the activist judges he is appointing to carry it out.

“This afternoon, President Obama’s nominee for the 2^nd Circuit Court of Appeals, Robert Chatigny, is scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He is a shocking example of liberal judicial activism that interprets the Constitution to provide unwarranted protection to dangerous sex offenders.

“Chatigny is just one of many examples Obama’s activist nominees who believe they know better than the Founding Fathers. That’s why today we launched ObamaVConstitution.com, where Americans can learn more about Obama’s disturbing judicial philosophy and the judges who will enact it. Leftists like Goodwin Liu, Louis Butler, and David Hamilton will go through the Constitution with a red pen, radically expanding the power of government and dealing a devastating blow to personal freedom.

“With the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens, we hope President Obama will change course and bring our country together by appointing someone to the Supreme Court who will follow the rule of law, and not legislate from the bench or work to advance a liberal agenda.” – RNC Chairman Michael Steele

Coats Leads GOP Primary

joshperry — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:34:25 +0000

From Abdul Hakim-Shabazz for Indiana Barrister:

With just a few days to go before the Indiana primary, a new poll has former U.S. Senator Dan Coats leading amongst Republican voters.

The poll conducted by the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics has the following breakdown.

Dan Coats – 36%.
John Hostettler – 24%.
Marlin Stutzman – 18%.
Don Bates, Jr.- 6%.
Richard Behney – 4%.
Undecided – 13%.

The poll of 407 registered voters was taken from April 22-26 by Survey USA and has margin of error of 5%.

Coats polled best with those identifying themselves as strong Republicans, Republicans or leaning Republican. Hostettler ranked the highest with independent voters. Coats also did well with those who identified themselves as tea party supporters, with Stutzman coming in second.

The poll also notes that Coats, Stutzman and Hostettler all defeat likely Democrat nominee Brad Elsworth in a general election, however 20-25% of the voters are undecided.
