    Tea Party Vindication: S&P Says It Favors Spending Cuts Over Tax Hikes To Fix Credit Rating

    Standard & Poor’s laments the possibility cuts to entitlement programs won’t materialize and the decreasing likelihood of new tax revenues.The decision by Standard & Poor’s to downgrade the U.S. credit rating to “AA+” at once laments the possibility that cuts to entitlement programs will not materialize and the decreasing likelihood of new tax revenues. But it appears to give more weight to the need for more spending cuts, as it warns that a further credit rating downgrade is in the cards if the U.S. does not trim spending.
    In contrast, while the report indicates that new tax revenues would help mitigate the debt crisis, failing to find these revenues does not immediately put the U.S. at risk of another downgrade.
    Specifically, the report warns directly that a further downgrade to “AA” status could occur within the next two years if there is “less reduction in spending” than what was agreed in the debt ceiling agreement. S&P said one factor that could lead to this second downgrade is if the minimum $1.2 trillion in spending cuts under the debt ceiling agreement does not occur.

    That is about as big a conflict of interest as could exist. A huge corporate entity, heavily invested in industry entities, doesn't want tax hikes.


    OT but a worthy subject is how financial institutions now control US Policy.

    Let's take your logic to the begining. Clinton's predecessor Bush 1 must claim some blame for training Mr Bin Laden into a ruthless terrorist.

    I Suppose we should now be grateful to our current CiC who seemingly authorized the recent assassination.

    Remember John Kerry? The failed senator from Mass? Well, he's just outdone himself again: Media Has "Responsibility" To "Not Give Equal Time" To Tea Party. "And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it's exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual."

    How true. It's sad to watch the slow motion train wreck that is US politics these days, it really is. Well, if you happen to like the place anyway. The public has absolutely no sense of whats real, and who's serious, at all. And the media is more interested in clowns like Glenn Beck than anyone remotely credible- they're boring, they don't sell. Sad stuff.

    Guest Host For MSNBC’s Ed Schultz: In The “Good Ol’ Days” Tea Partiers “Would Be Lynching Real Black People For Real”




    It's really something these Liberals and their 'talking points'!

    “Don’t believe it, it’s not true. The rage has just started. We got a glimpse of that hate, if you’ll remember, when we saw the signs they held up at their rallies. There were pictures of Obama depicted as a monkey. Or Obama hanging in effigy like the good ol’ days to this crowd, when this same group no doubt would be lynching real black people for real. . . .
    You know, it was easier to at least respect a character, a fictional character, like Hannibal Lecter in “Silence of the Lambs” because Hannibal Lecter at least readily admitted that he was a dangerous mutation and he was somebody capable of lying and manipulating and even killing to get what he wanted.
    But we could write a part into a fictional book where we’re able to put a character like Hannibal Lecter in a cage, we’re able to get him away from society. But in real life, justice just doesn’t work that way. In real life, a dangerous sociopath can become a Republican vice president of the most powerful country in the world.”

    Liberals Create New Online Game Where Tea Partiers Are Murdered: The Game’s Creators Work For NASCAR. Liberal Rednecks?

    Heh...these folks are seriously retarded. As tolerant left strikes again.
    Liberals create a video game where tea partiers are murdered.
    Pundit Press and“Tea Party Zombies Must Die”



    They don’t want to discuss the issue.
    They just want you dead.

    In the latest “game” for far left activists you get to watch your favorite conservative pundits get slaughtered in front of your eyes – Including: Brit Hume, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich.

    Real classy, eh?

    Heh...the difference between Tea Party Patriots couldn't be more stark:

    Tea Partier Forced to Break Down Flag Pole! - YouTube

    "Equal justice under law is a foundational American principle, even emblazoned across the front of the supreme court building. Over the past month, law abiding Americans have watched with a mixture of confusion and disgust as civil authorities in our largest cities have shown favoritism to, and collusion with, law-breaking Occupy squatters. In Atlanta the squatters have been allowed to camp in an upscale city park indefinitely by the city council and mayor when the homeless or any other group would have been required to obey laws and city ordinances from day one."

    Now here's a good idea. Treat the OWS folks just like the Tea Party people. Can't see any problem with that.

    Tea Party wants same treatment as Occupy Atlanta


    "If Tea Party members had used civil disobedience, "we would have been removed and arrested," Dooley said.


    "We feel like the mayor is selectively deciding who can use the parks," she said."


    Not that there's any of that silly 'ol civil disobedience going on with the COWS, right? Taking a shit on a police car, rapes in tents, public masturbation etc.


    Tea Party wants same treatment as Occupy Atlanta

    Heh...CNN tried to have YouTube take this Video down- unsuccessfully I might add.

    Highlights include:


    (:27) The on-air segment that CNN does not want to show you
    (3:00) A search for Tea Party Democrats
    (3:45) A quick examination of the mocking use of the term �Teabagging� by mainstream media outlets

    Who said the Tea Party was dead, eh?

    "We the People of the Republic and The Wisconsin Grandsons of Liberty, two of Wisconsin’s most prominent ‘Tea Party’ groups, are organizing an effort to check the validity of all signatures submitted in the ongoing gubernatorial recall."

    Tea Party Groups Vow to Verify Recall Signatures | MacIver Institute

    The project is taking place, online, at VerifyTheRecall.com.
    “Software has been developed that will help identify duplicate signatures and other signature irregularities (questionable addresses, etc.),” wrote Ross Brown of We the People of the Republic in an email to supporters. “Additionally, individuals will be able to look up their name and address on a website to see if they have been included as a petition signor.”
    Last week, the MacIver News Service reported that despite requesting a supplemental budget appropriation in excess of $600,000, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board would not be checking the authenticity or validity of the more than 540,000 recall petitions.



    “We have all been hearing reports of duplicate signatures, questionable practices, and downright fraud in the gubernatorial recall effort,” reads the introductory posting on the VerifyTheRecall website. “In the last few weeks, there has been a public outcry to build a system to check the submitted signatures after learning that the Government Accountability Board (GAB) will assume all signatures are valid unless challenged as otherwise.”


    Ross said the effort is all about Wisconsin voters making sure their elections are clean and fair.


    “By taking such efforts, we will be able to protect the integrity of Wisconsin’s elections by ensuring that only legitimate Wisconsin electors are counted – once – as signors of petitions,” Brown wrote.


    Volunteers will not be able to start entering data into the database until the gubernatorial recall drive is finished and the data is publicly available from the GAB, which could take months.

    Tea Party Nation Claims Obama ‘Staged’ Bin Laden Death, ‘Gave’ Drone To Iran

    You gotta love these guys..

    The astroturfing, bad spelling group of crazies on Rascals are back, and this time they are here to say that little death of Osama Bin Laden–the event that was so widely publicized it was reenacted on Nat Geo–was in fact ‘staged’ by the radical ‘Muslin’ in the oval office. Apparently not quite content with that wildly ludicrous assertion, the Tea Party also believes that Obama actually ’gave’ the downed drone to Iran.

    According to Right Wing Watch, it seems Tea Party Nation president, Judson Phillips, sent out an email to Tea Party Nation members claiming that President Obama deliberately offered the recently captured predator drone to Iran…and that Osama bin Laden wasn’t killed but his death was in fact “staged” by Obama.




    Here’s the email:


    This incident with Iran getting one of our top secret military drones, has been puzzling me since it happened. It’s vaguely reminiscent of the alleged killing of Osama Bin Laden, with no evidence shown to the American people. ( Personally, I think he’s been dead since around 2003, have seen no evidence otherwise, and think Obama staged the incident just so he could take credit. People prove they’re alive by showing up, and he hadn’t shown up in any way, in years. )



    But we’ve been hearing reports recently, that socialists and gangs have been infiltrating our military now. So this leaves two very disturbing possibilities left.

    One, that Obama passed down direct orders through a trusted chain of command, to land this drone in Iran, possibly sparking a war with Iran, and handing over our top secret military technology to them and their Russian and Chinese allies.

    Or it may have been the act of a lone traitor who was operating the drone and decided to do this act on their own.

    Both are very disturbing possibilities and should be investigated, but who will do that?

    At least such an investigation should be called for – demanded.


    ...

    Of course, and Qadhafi is actually working for George Soros and global warming is just god’s morning breath.
    Then, Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and the current head of Freedom Watch, really raised the bar when also claimed that Obama may have given the drone to Iran because the Iranian government was financing his presidential campaign;

    “I believe that Iran has paid off Obama with campaign contributions to win the next election,” Klayman said, “This could well turn out to be the terrorist trial of the decade.”

    Here’s Klayman’s full message:

    Barack Hussein Obama, our president, is a traitor. Finally, his hatred for our nation and his plan to destroy it are crystal clear. He must be forced from office — legally — before our entire country goes down the drain for the final count!



    Much has gone on in the last three years to show Obama’s true colors, sympathetic not to Judeo-Christians values and culture, but Islam and its surrogate-controlled states.

    Barack Hussein Obama was complicit in this treasonous act. By allowing the radical Islamic mullahs in Iran, China and Russia to have our highest technology when he simply could have ordered the destruction of the drone once it went down, Obama cemented my strong belief that he is a traitor.

    Obama must go now! We cannot wait until an election in 2012, as more damage will irreparably harm our nation. He must be legally forced to leave office now, plain and simple.

    In this regard, Freedom Watch recently scored a big victory in court in our case against the radical mullahs in Iran. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ordered that evidence be presented into the atrocities committed by the Iranian terrorist regime. These atrocities are being committed each day with Obama’s apparent blessing! This trial, to be held in the next few months, will, like the Nuremberg Nazi trials after World War II, expose the horrors of the Islamic Iranian regime, which is obviously supported by Obama. I believe that Iran has paid off Obama with campaign contributions to win the next election, just as China paid off the Clintons with illegally laundered campaign contributions so they could win the 1996 election. Coupled with his Muslim roots, Obama gladly threw his lot in with the radical Iranian mullahs bent on our destruction, as well as Israel’s. That’s why I call Obama the “mullah in chief.” This could well turn out to be the terrorist trial of the decade.

    Just as I was instrumental in exposing the bribery of the Clintons by China during their administration, concerned citizens need to be hard at work uncovering the bribery of Obama by the Iranians. I for one am investigating this likelihood. Bill Clinton and his criminal wife, Hillary, were the “Manchurian Candidates,” but Obama and Hillary are now the “Islamic Iranian Candidates,” an analogy the movie that depicted how Chinese communists infiltrated the highest reaches of our government. The primary explanation for Obama and Clinton rolling over for the Iranian Islamist mullahs is that they were paid off, that is, bribed. This occurred during the Clinton years with communist China, so it is not farfetched that it is happening now. Obama and Clinton need the campaign cash to win the next elections, just as Bill and Hill needed it in 1996 to defeat Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole.

    Just as I was instrumental in exposing the bribery with China, now we need to do this with Iran, before we all go down the drain to these radical Islamist terrorists.



    Well, at least they’re becoming better spellers.

    Sex Assault Suspect a Tea Party Leader

    Michael Kobulnicky suspected of pulling woman into his car and sexually assaulting her




    Police arrested a prominent local political activist in connection to a recent Fiesta Island sex assault on Thursday.

    Michael Kobulnicky, the public relations spokesperson for the San Diego Tea Party, was arrested Thursday afternoon in front of his home, according to Lt. Anastasia Smith with the San Diego Police Department.

    Kobulnicky is accused of a Feb. 25 abduction and sexual assault of a 56-year-old woman who was walking home near Linda Vista Rd. in Fiesta Island. The woman was pulled into a car and assaulted, then left on the island, police said.

    Surveillance footage of the area near the assault gave police evidence to pursue a suspect. They released a picture of the suspect to the public, and many identified the suspect as Kobulnicky.

    Michael Kobulnicky was booked into San Diego Central Jail on numerous felony charges, including kidnapping, sexual assault and sex with a foreign object.

    Heh... “Tea Party Leader” charged with rape not actually affiliated with Tea Party group.

    Funny how they jump on this and ignore all the genuine Occupy rapes.

    ^ Did you read that article? It does not say he is not a Tea Party member. It is a press release from Original San Diego Tea Party Organizers. It says:

    Accused Rapist, Michael John Kobulnicky, Not Spokesperson, Member, or Volunteer for Original San Diego Tea Party Organizers.

    We are not affiliated with, nor have we worked with the newer organization titled “San Diego Tea Party.”

    Sorry Libs… Rape Charges Dropped Against Tea Party “Leader” – They Had the Wrong Guy

    Unlike the #occupy movement… Sexual assault charges were dropped against the supposed tea party “leader” Michael Kobulnicky yesterday. There was no rape, kidnapping and sexual assault. The victim accused the wrong man.

    Earlier this month the liberal media went wild over the fact that they finally had a violent crime to peg on a former tea party activist.

    The man’s name is Michael John Kobulnicky and he is reportedly the former public relations leader of the San Diego Tea Party.

    Yesterday, charges were dropped against Michael John Kobulnicky. The victim identified the wrong man.

    DA Drops Sexual Assault Charges - Local News - San Diego, CA - msnbc.com

    If they really want to find the rapist maybe they should look at the local #occupy camp?
    They’d probably have better luck.

    You've rather clumsily spun this booner, because it was not a case of mistaken identification at all. Ergo-

    "Michael Kobulnicky, a former San Diego Tea Party spokesperson and Mormon Church leader, had faced charges of kidnapping and sexual assault for a sexual encounter that he said was consensual. Prosecutors dropped all charges Thursday morning."

    So actually, it was one of these 'he said, she said' things, not a case of the wrong perp being identified- he shagged her, alright? But that isn't a crime. Many, if not most, rape cases collapse on this basis. No evidence to proceed, just someone's word against another- and there are indeed several cases where the female 'victim' has acted out of malice, 'morning after' guilt, or sheer profit motive. I am not questioning the decision, at all- 'innocent until proven guilty' exists for a reason, good reason. But I am pleased that you have just established Julian Assange's innocence in your own mind.
