State Rep. Sam Smith, R-Punxsutawney, penned the letter to Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood Tuesday questioning an analysis that said the commission's transfers of toll money to state coffers would be comparable to "rent" a private operator would pay. The company that did the analysis, Provident Capital Advisors, LLC of Baton Rouge, La., had never studied highways before and had changed its name from Provident Healthcare Coalition just days before landing the $50,000 turnpike deal, Smith wrote.
"A layman might conclude turnpike officials or their contractor looked for someone to give them the answers they sought, instead of finding someone qualified to provide an actual study of the value of I-80," Smith wrote.
Turnpike spokesman Carl DeFebo said Provident was chosen as a subcontractor on the study because they had no previous involvement in toll road privatization proposals and therefore had no "vested interest" in the outcome of the study. "We didn't want firms that had a stake in other highway lease deals, or firms that were on the list of bidders to lease the turnpike," DeFebo said, referring to a failed state effort to seek private companies to lease the turnpike. "When it comes to how you conduct these kinds of financial evaluations, the methods are the same whether it's a warehouse you're leasing or a toll road."
NOTE: It's the same whether its a warehouse or a toll road your leasing??? So, it's the same thing to be able to sell a home or a car then too right? Then why does that require different qualifications? Why must you have "industry specific" qualifications for a job if a manager is a manager? C'mon... do we really appear that stupid to you government Dem's?
The VA is a socialist system because the doctors are employed by the government?
Government paying doctors for its military has absolutely nothing to do with socialism or a socialist system. Their work is not imposed upon anyone, including the military, it is not for profit, and it is offered simply as a benefit.
2) John Boehner waving his copy of the Constitution starts reciting what he said is the Consitution's preamble but what Congressman Boehner failed to know is the preamble he was reciting was from the Declaration of Independence. I love these conservatives and tea bags that are Constituional sticklers but then don't even know the difference between what the Constitution and the Delaration of Independence contain and for this you all need to put on your dunce cap and go sit in the corner until you promise to know what your talking about before opening your mouths
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Wednesday, November 04, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThisAdvertisement
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that only 28% of the nation's voters Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13. That’s just one point above the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
Republicans continue to hold a modest advantage on the Generic Congressional Ballot.
Barack Obama was elected President one year ago today and Rasmussen Reports has compiled a look at his numbers on that anniversary.
As projected by Rasmussen Reports polling, Republicans won the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. In the Garden State, our polling showed support for third party candidate Chris Daggett collapsing to eight percent (8%) while many other firms suggested he might win a higher total (up to 15%). In the end, only six percent (6%) voted for Daggett while Christie won by four percentage points.
It’s also worth noting that automated polling firms, like Rasmussen Reports, generally projected a Christie victory while operator-assisted firms showed a closer race or a Corzine win. According to pollster.com, the average of all automated polls showed Christie winning by four, a total that matched the actual result. The final operator-assisted polls averaged out to a one-point Corzine victory.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.
you lied about:
Immigration is the only reason the United States doesn't have a declining population like every other industrialized nation in the world. This fact is the only thing that is keeping us from total disaster during the massive retirement of baby boomers.
Also many illegals who work in this country work through social security numbers that belong to someone else, so they do pay taxes, and they certainly pay sales taxes on what they consume.
You dreamed up:
You ignorant racists make me sick, how soon we forget that we're all immigrants. Your grandparents came here from Germany legal or not were probably spit on and looked on as scum by no-nothing racists like you are now. The only reason your grandparents came legally is due to the fact that US immigration was much more open, Mexicans come illegally because we don't allow them to come legally it's not an option for them, it's terrible how difficult it has become to immigrate to the US. Our greatest strength as a nation has always been our willingness to accept anyone yearning for a better life. I will never forget how badly my Irish ancestors were treated as if they were no better than animals, and now those of Irish decent number 60 million in this country and are literally the backbone of the nation.
On an economic basis Mexicans and Latino's produce all of our food, they pick all the produce and meat we consume. They provide and incredible amount of cheap labor, and the illegals contribute billions to social security and they will never collect a dime. I think it's terrible how the US is chewing these people up and spitting them out. I don;t see why you racists aren't happier about this we're really getting the better end of the deal.
In 2009:
families came with almost nothing and didn't expect the government to give them a damn thing. They made meals from nothing and lived with nothing, but they worked hard and had a deep faith in God and believed in the United States of America.
Prescott Bush....made considerable profits off Auschwitz slave labor.
In fact, EX-President Bush w. himself is an heir to these profits
from the holocaust which were placed in a blind trust in 1980
by his father, former head of the CIA, active character in the "drugs for deadly gas in Iraq deals" when he was VP.
George Herbert Walker Bush,
as director of the CIA, had funneled enormous amounts of cash to drug runners
including Manuel Noriega
and helped in the destabilization of Argentina.
Bush utilized his own connections to help fund drug runners from Laos to Panama.
Most shocking was the so-called
"cocaine coup"
in Bolivia in June 1980,
masterminded by fugitive Nazi Klaus Barbie,
"The Butcher Of Lyons."
Barbie, who had been previously secreted in Latin America by the CIA,
began working closely with the Argentines and used drug money to finance
a neo-Nazi cabal, one that succeeded in overthrowing the government.
The troops swept through the capital wearing Nazi armbands,
according to former DEA agents.
George H.W. Bush later facilitated the Iran-contra affair, employing many of the same methods:
secretly selling Central American cocaine in America and weapons to Iran
while using the profits to fund the contras and to overthrow democratically elected parties in Central America.
as the head of the CIA and later as Vice President,
toppled democratically elected regimes in South and Central America
and began propping up a dictator by the name of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Although forbidden by congress to do so, he continued to sell chemical and biological weapons to Saddam even after he used them on villages of innocent civilians.
A decade later The United States had to go to war against him and the Bush family again, made millions from it.
Meanwhile --back in reality for the MAJORITY of us...
In the third quarter the GDP grew for the first time in over a year, and grew faster than it has in the previous two years.
Thank you President of the United States of America for being actually aware of the issues.
you stumbled out:
Why wait for them to leave?
Why don't you have them all sent to internment camps?
This would provide a lot of jobs for Right wing whackjobs as guards.
You could send them all by train.... after they rebuild the railway system.
They can build their own camps for a taco a week.
hell 20 million is too many....let's just gas 'em.
After all ......they blew up the World Trade center ..".for gods sake."
You coughed up:
The way I see it, the reality is that this country belongs to the Mexicans(who were here before the Europeans) the Native American (who also were here first) and the Africans who chose not to come here, but were brought here in chains. Don't be a ditto-head! Also these immigrants pay taxes using social security numbers registered to residents of this country. They never collect anything from the taxes they pay. The KIND Americans reap those benefits. I have a friend who is illegal and trying through an immigration attorney to gain citizenship. The attorney wants 20,000.00. How can someone come up with that kind of money, especially if you're not allowed to work. So, where does your family originate from????
What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?
Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament" -- 10/25/07.
She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...What Happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?" That's a good question - it deserves an answer.
Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration
stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America?
The answers may surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.
In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids - would move back 'home', mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually, in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone. Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals. Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop-out/flunk-out rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado.
Denver's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home', the U.S. Economy would
return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a
living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they
wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401
Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for
local, state and city coffers.
No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion
in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in
ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.
In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens.
America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get
rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home
countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America's economy - which currently suffers an
$8.7 trillion debt.
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.
Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and gridlocking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and
along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what
the New York Times called, "colonias" or new neighborhoods. Trouble is,
those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty,
filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation.
The New York Times reported them to be America's new "Third World" inside
our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect
20 million residents of those colonias. (I've seen them personally in Texas
and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing
our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.
We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation. It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.
Interesting Statistics.
Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:?
1. $11 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare
to illegal aliens.
4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of
English! http ://transcripts.cnn.com/T RANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's
two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their
children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html
11. During the year 2005, there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens
that crossed our southern border with as many as 19, 500 illegal aliens from
terrorist countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine,
and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border.
12. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period. ?
http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/publications.php?b=deportation ?
14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!"
http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml
The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!!!
If this doesn't bother you, then just delete the message. Otherwise, forward this to everyone you know!
(AP) President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into law a measure designed to keep funding for veterans' medical care steady amid future budget negotiations.
"Over the past two decades, the VA budget has been late almost every year, often by months," Obama said in the White House's East Room, surrounded by veterans and lawmakers. "At this very moment, the VA is operating without a budget, making it harder for VA medical centers and clinics to deliver the care our vets need."
...Participating in a UN-advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy-fixated groups and individuals in our society such as the National Rifle Association, citizen militias and some members of Congress. This segment of our society who fear 'one-world government' and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined 'the conspiracy' by undertaking LA21. So, we call our process something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management, or smart growth
Either they are minimal loudmouths
or they support, and/or ARE, our oppressors.

1st who started most of the wars - Democrats or Republicans??? Should we care??? Or did the people in power react to an attack? Hell there is debate that Roosevelt had something to do with the Jap attack. Who was in power when each war was entered??? Answer that!
2nd Bush started the war in Iraq and if it was a fake reason then why doesn't Obama back us out???? I don't know this one way or the other but why doesn't Obama pull our troops out??? Maybe their is a reason! Or is it he can't make a decision?????
3rd Afganistan - Obama - Is he attempting to vote present like he did so many times in Illinois? Can't make a decision. Is healthcare more important than 2 wars???
4th And more important!!!! Listen up!!!!! If Iran gets a nuke - then what?? Debate??? What will Isreal do???? They will attack. Ok will we re-supply them???? If we turn our back on them and Isreal is wiped out will we have any real friends over there???? Should we protect our interests??? What would life in the US be like if the middle eastern oil is shut off? 7.00 a gallon gas???
5th I remember hearing complaints that Bush was kissing the Saudis but. Well I didn't like that and I sure didn't like Obama bowing to the Saudi King and blaming the US for everything.
6th Clinton sold us out also - Remember Ross Perot??? He said to Clinton and the Democrat Congress if you sign Nafta and Gatt you will hear the Giat sucking sound of our Jobs going to China. Well that happened didn't it. Who do you blame for that????
7th Bush Senior - No New Taxes!!!!! Remember - He signed the bill raising taxes!!!!
So the bottom line is - Is the President doing what he has to do to protect the US or are you just going to find a way to blame someone???? Did Bush protect us??? Is any political group without blame??? What if we are attacked again???? Will you blame Obama???? The Democrats????? The Republicans???? Bugs Bunny????
Bush is gone!!!!!
Obama has promissed:
1. 95% of us will get a tax cut! Not Yet!
2. Health Care - Not Yet
3. Get Mo closed - Delayed! Not Yet!
4. Unemployment rate will not climb over 8.5% if we pass the Stimlus. Hmmm. Almost 10! Damm - Not Yet!
5. Iraq war will be shut down. Not Yet!
6. Afganistan is the right war - General has requested 40,000 troops 60 days ago. Not Yet!!!
7. Obama is going to lead from the center. Hmmm....Looks like a tax and spend liberal to me. No one has ever spent more - Not even Bush!
8. Green Jobs???? Not Yet!!!!
Police say the arrest came after an investigation on Monday revealed “suspicious circumstances of a miscarriage.” Investigators estimate the fetus was in its 13th week.
Police released no information on the mother or the circumstances of the child’s death.
The release says Woodward is believed to have ties to Miami and Chicago and detectives are also seeking information in those cities.
Investigators are set to present the case to prosecutors on Tuesday.
A deputy at the jail had no information on an attorney for Woodward.
Just to recap:
When a mother wants to be rid of her unborn child, it’s not muder…it’s a “health care procedure”, and one that Pelosi and Co. want to federally fund.
When a man wants to be rid of his unborn child, it’s murder…and a heinous one, too.
When a woman kills her unborn child, it’s not a “child”, but a fetus.
When a man kills his unborn child, it’s not a fetus, but a “child”.
