Outrage

Elections have consequences. This is the consequence of electing the dishonorable junior senator from Illinois to be the President.

The leader of the nation's largest veterans organization says he is "deeply disappointed and concerned" after a meeting with President Obama today to discuss a proposal to force private insurance companies to pay for the treatment of military veterans who have suffered service-connected disabilities and injuries. The Obama administration recently revealed a plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in such cases.

Got that? If you're in the military and get hurt on duty, Obama wants your private insurance to cover the cost of making you whole (or as close to whole as possible) again. This is why the Democrats must loose Congress in 2010, and this piece of slime needs to be chucked out on his ear come 2012.

Most ethical congress ever, ever!

So ethical, in fact, that we don't need to know what sort of footsie they've been playing with lobbyists.

Republicans for tax cheats

Ten for the unemployment line the next time they face a primary. These are the RINOs for voted to put noted tax cheat Tim Geithner as the head of the Treasury Department.

Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)

Five for the uneployment line...

Via Right Wing News, five "Republican" congress-critters who've volunteered to be replaced in the 2010 primaries.

* Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL]10th District.
* Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL]18th District.
* Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ]7th District.
* Rep. Christopher Shays [R-CT]Sing it!
* Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE]

Unfortunately, Shays has been replaced by an actual Democrat, Jim Himes. Hopefully in 2010 we can replace him with an actual Republican instead of a RINO like Shays.
