Suckers.

Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D-IN) finds himself down 18 points in the Indiana Senatorial race to replace Senator Bayh after supporting Obamacare on Sunday. 63% of Hoosiers oppose Obamacare. 35% approve of the legislation.
Rasmussen reported:
Two of the three top Republican hopefuls for the U.S. Senate in Indiana continue to hold double-digit leads over Democratic Congressman Brad Ellsworth. Ellsworth supported President Obama’s health care plan in a state where opposition to the legislation is higher than it is nationally.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds former Congressman John Hostettler with a 50% to 32% lead over Ellsworth, a current House member who voted with most other Democrats on Sunday to pass the health care plan. The survey was taken last Wednesday and Thursday nights. Fifteen percent (15%) remain undecided in that match-up.
Ex-Senator Dan Coats now posts a 49% to 34% lead over Ellsworth, with 12% undecided.
Ellsworth runs best against the third GOP contender, freshman State Senator Marlin Stutzman. In that match-up, Stutzman leads by just seven points, 41% to 34%. Eighteen percent (18%) are undecided.

I know this is going to cost the states money they can not afford sois it legal to get a fund started to help???? Please say yes!
Militant Conservative commented:
Ginger, I too worry about voter fraud coming up. IF this were to happen all hell will break loose. Chaos on a grand scale. Martial law will be asked for and we’ll find out if the military takes unlawfull orders or not.
powder is dry.
jdflorida commented:
Awww, now that’s a shame. Elections have consequences.
southernsue commented:
we are living in the end times. the democratic house of reps and the democratic senate and the democratic president represent the one world order that is predicted in the BIBLE, specifically in the books of DANIEL and REVELATION. please read these books and find out what happens next. if you don’t understand them, get a commentary. teach your children so that they will be prepared.
another sign is our nation turning away from ISRAEL, GOD’S chosen people, this is also predicted in the BIBLE. evil has been unleashed on our country. the evidence is the passing of a bill that has no regards for our unborn, GOD’S creation, and the disregard of the will of the people. we as citizens of the USA have been fat and sassy along with not paying attention for far too long. we have produced at least two generations of lost souls.
i have listened to sermons on this and have studied this in my BIBLE but never thought that this would happen in my lifetime, but here we are.
i pray for my country and my children and grandchildren. may GOD have mercy on my wonderful country.

Well, Brad Ellsworth (is) was, supposedly, a pro-life Catholic who voted to fund abortions. I wonder if that’s what the good citizens of Indiana are upset about? I’m waiting to hear what his pastor has to say.
Militant Conservative commented:
hello bg,
Oh no, we are chomping at the bit to get to vote the terds out. I spoke to many before the election and they thought I was racist. NOW the supporters of B.O. are incensed at him. These are people that voted FOR him and share his same ethnicity. This November is going to be HUGE. powder is dry.

18 points?

Your god, not mine. The bible is an artificial, heavily censored creation. The early leaders of the catholic church heavily censored it and removed everything that they didn’t consider to be “the truth”. These are historic facts. The Jews will eventually disappear. The Christians, too. The mohammedans as well. Every religion will disappear at one point in history. 2,000 years of Christianity… are insignificant. 6,000 years of Judaism… are insignificant. Even 10,000 years are nothing in a universe that has been around for more than 13 billion years.
We don’t have the truth. We are just apes on the third planet of an unimportant solar system in one of the arms of one galaxy among millions of other galaxies (look at the Ultra Deep Field photo from NASA and tell me we humans are important in the universe, we’re not, that photo should make everyone humble.)
We know nothing about the truth or about what “god” wants, should he/she/it exist (mind you, I’m keeping that possibility open, the thing is, I don’t know whether god exists or not, believing it… that’s not enough for me.)
But I’ve been talking with my Texan buddy and we agreed on one thing: a storm is coming. Again it’ll be freedom vs fascism. WW3, we’re on the way there.
So keep your guns loaded and in reach.

Time to retire these corrupt politicians. They are not only walking the plank but they will be investigated for any sweetheart deal they receive.

andreas k, imho, you are part of the lost generation. please read your BIBLE now and you will know the truth and what is going to happen next. all i have said has been predicted in GOD’S word, please read it and like i said if you don’t understand, buy a commentary.
again, i pray for my country, that includes all of us, including you, andreas k

oops, you left one very important fact out..
that’s your opinion vs someone else’s opinion..
and as we all know..
opinions facts do not make..
oh btw, God spoke to me once, ergo, i believe,
perhaps not in the Bible per se, but i believe..
but hey, you certainly don’t have to..

I “see” what is coming too. It is written thus and predicted. earthquakes etc… I do like the ending though. Notice Andreas wants us to have the guns to protect him. Sorry my gun(s) are for my protection not anyone else. powder is dry.
Ginger commented:
What ever has been written I will not dwell on as to how we are going to live or die! I know one thing…..God has given us the ability to choose. I choose to live in the PRESENT and FUTURE and not the PAST. I refuse to sit back and complain what is happening in our country. I will fight to my last breath against the EVIL that we are certainly faceing!
We have a bunch of people who lives on their self ego rushes! It makes them feel good to destroy others.
Keep this in your heart and mind!
Do not fear evil.
Recognize it.
Confront it.
Defeat it.

Well said Ginger. I hunt evil. The light of truth kills it.

but liberals are “fickle” & it’s a long ways until elections, that’s if Obama

Elections have consequences, and votes in the Congress do as well Mr. Ellsworth.
Atlanta Media Guy commented:
I fear for our country, but fear is the devil. fear is what Obama wants you to feel. Fear is the only thing that enables the left to pass these crappy bills.
Just wait, climate is next according to the One. If any type of cap and tax passes, get ready for the gas lines. Fuel is already approaching 3 bucks again, why? There is not enough oil in the world to supply the world’s need. yet, American’s are sitting on the largest deposit of oil in the world, but the One will not allow us to drill for it, why? One word, Soros.. Follow the money and at the end of it you will find him. Soros has control of the financial markets to the point he controls the ups and downs of it. He was the one that caused the panic just before the election, by having his minions sell. Come on folks, shut the funding pipe and you cut Obama off at the knees.
Elections do have consequences, but I fear the next election will not happen since the One is going to create a crisis that cannot go to waste. Martial Law anyone? The majority of Americans are so PO’d right now, the media just ignores it and lies about it, to everyone’s detriment. I find it amazing that there is no evidence of racial name calling at the protests this weekend, yet the MSM is reporting it with no substantial proof. Why? Do I really have to ask?
Ginger commented:
A little humor.
How to start each day with a positive out look.
Open a new file in your computer.
Name it ‘Barack Obama’
Send it to the Recycle Bin.
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Your PC will ask you: “Do you really want to get rid of Barack Obama?”
Firmly Click ‘Yes’
Feel better?
Good! Tomorrow we’ll do Nancy Pelosi.

I believe the next thing is immigration reform and amnesty for illegals. I believe the Obama administration and the Democrats views this a means to solidify power and achieve all the other goals including cap and trade/tax abomination.
Jesse commented:
I love the hyperbole here… Reagan was less popular at this point in his first term than Obama is now… and good luck GOP running on a platform of repealing HCR… The commercials write themselves (“Republicans want granny to pay more for her drugs and kids with pre-existing conditions to be denied coverage…”). Veto proof majority in 2010? Ha!
Maybe President Palin will come rescue us from socialism in ’12…
sosssn commented:
Why wait for November? Why wait until Obama tries to force another socialist program down our throats? Now is not the time to shrivel away. Now is the time to stand up and fight back harder then ever before. Now is the time to take the fight to them. Will you join us on a campaign to DESTROY THE MOUTHPIECE OF OBAMA’S SOCIALIST AGENDA, THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA? WE ARE IN A FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY, A FIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE.

Sorry and in all due respect, Andreas, but you couldn’t be more wrong about Christianity disappearing. It continues to grow. And the Bible is the Word of God so it continues to live. I am amazed how many times I will read something in the Word that I know I have read previously, only to find new meaning.
God is Love and is also Just. There will be a Judgment Day. Just like a parent loves his child and disciplines his child, God does the same. Europe has long turned its back on God so they are reaping their reward. The US isn’t that far behind.
And Ezekiel 38-39 is happening before our eyes. Like SouthernSue, I never thought I would actually see it.

Jesse,
NBC’s Lester Holt, substitute hosting for Matt Lauer on Tuesday’s Today show, questioned Michael Steele about the GOP taking a risk in its opposition to Obamacare as he explained a lot Americans have looked at the bill and found things they liked and pressed the RNC chairman: “Do you want to be in a position of taking something away?” For his part Steele fired back: “I disagree with your premise that a lot of Americans have now taken a look at the bill. Take a look at what bill? They’re still writing the thing.”

bg..I was thinking the same thought last night after reading a dozen or so blogs on Dims who voted for Obamacare across the country..an idea: might Jim/ GWP be open to creating a central page that helps us stay current on these critters’ votes & moves?
November’s a way off. The sheer # of Dims combined across # of States are critical elements that collected in one spot could help us all, lest we forget the sting of liberty’s loss on 3-21 and the Dims whose yea votes abetted the deed.
Pat the First commented:
The GOP just needs to have an alternative that is more effective when they either repeal or gut the thing next year. That will stop all this “Party of No”.

Chisum commented:
Oh, and Jesse, I’ll bet they’ll love the new law when they find this out:
The pair were reacting to a clip of Pelosi’s interview yesterday with Diane Sawyer in which the Speaker said of House Minority Leader John Boehner that “some people will do anything for the insurance companies.” Pelosi cast the bill as tough regulation of the insurance industry.
Scarborough’s point, in which Hayes concurred, was that far from punishing insurance companies, the bill that Pelosi piloted through Congress gave them the biggest prize of all: a law forcing all Americans to buy their product.

I am a Catholic and of course a Christian.
I am not waiting for the end times. I am acting in the best interest of my God, my family and my faith until such time as God see’s fit to remove me from this earth. Until then, I will like M/C keep my powder dry and I will not take Opie’s MuzzloMarxism sitting down. Push me and I will bite back Opie.
That is my duty as a Christian and as an American. I will protect and preserve my Constitution up to and including the day I die.
Michelle commented:
Don’t forget Joe Donnelly ” no means no” until I vote yes, from the South Bend ( Nortre Dame!) area. He is another phony pro-life, fiscal conservative Blue-Dog that thinks his constituents are stupid hicks. When I spoke to Donnelly’s reps yesterday I told them I would have less animosity for their boss if he didn’t lie about his principles.

dlc commented:
Are you believing “Liars?”
Will there even be another “Election”?
> Atlanta Media Guy, I agree.
A man-made “crisis” could prevent it from even taking place. Why else are they so sickly “gleeful!” They get to keep their positions and continue gaining power without American’s approval.
Everyone’s “rights and finances” will be “redistributed” but theirs – which will be stolen from taxes.
They will have their parties, galas – all at our expense (how many galas has the “Tainted House” had that they flipped the bill!).
Look at how this BILL was “forced” – even though they knew we didn’t and don’t want it!
Remember how MN Senate seat was stolen – ballots found in a trunk, plus a fraudulent recount (Acorn counters!). That’s child’s play compared to what’s going on.
One, “OK” to an terrorist attack by the UnAmerican “Thug-Fraud” and the “CRISIS” is used fully by the “Tainted House” whose flag is NOT American but, “NEVER WASTE A GOOD CRISIS!”
For you don’t agree, take a look at this:
http://apathetic-usa.com/
They need to be stamped out ~
They are “signing” us Americans into RUIN – no longer playing by (or even caring about) the rules, but re-writing them to fit their agenda of TAKE OVER and CONTROL.
We can’t wait for or ‘depend’ on the Elections – we need a plan “to stop them now” and defeat their purposes.
If you don’t believe in God (isn’t that what the “liars” taught you, monkey man!) now is a good time to “evolve” into the Truth! (southernsue)
The Bible states the obvious, but we might as well go out fighting the Good Fight.
Take a look at FEDA Camps, made ready for those who don’t comply. They’re ‘not’ to help the poor, give them free housing … no wonder they want the “HOLOCAUST” forgotten.

This bill TAKES TRILLIONS AWAY from taxpayers and GIVES IT to illegals and bums. The democrats ARE ALWAYS in the position of taking “something” away: our money, our rights, our freedoms.
What I wouldn’t give for 30 seconds to mop up the floor with that baboon Lester Holt.
