Waters has proven the difference between Ignorance and STUPIDITY. Ignorance is Cureable with knowledge. STUPIDITY is TERMINAL..
Waters suffers from Terminal Stupidity.
She is still 3rd place IMHO
2nd is Hank Johnsons …”Guam will Tip over”
1st IMHO and will Always be first.

I happen to live in the “Nose Bleed” part of California. This nutcase come’s from So. Cali. In my experiance most of the voting population down there has no clue. Collectively if their brains were gas…they wouldn’t have enough to power a piss-ant’s motorcycle halfway around a BB. And unfortinuatly the voting population from So. Cali and the Bay Area make all the decisions for the rest of the state…which may be good for them, but is killing the extream north part of the state. There has been the Idea of splitting the state and ratifing the State of Jefferson. The NOrth part of the state desperatly want’s to do this but unfortinuatly there are more ppl in just half of one of them city’s that there are in most of the counties up here so we are constantly drowned out
avery commented:
Maxine Water,said they was all about taken over the oil company.Hank Johnson ?
Blue Collar Todd commented:
I use to work in Inglewood, part of Maxine’s district. I was an EMT doing 9-11 response on an ambulance. The city suffered from gang violence and poverty was rampant. She has clearly failed her constituents but do not expect her to loose anytime soon. She will not try and bring her constituents out of the desperate conditions they live in, only spread the misery to the rest of us.

It is about time that we have a basic intelligence test for Congress and voters.
How would such a idiot ever get elected?
Sounds like and looks like a totally racial placement!
USMC Thomas commented:
The Congressional Black Caucus would be the perfect cast for a remake of the old “Amos and Andy Show”, of course with Hank Johnson in the role of Kingfish.

“A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed healthcare bill. Read his conclusions and pass this on as you wish. This is stunning!
The Truth About the Health Care Bills
Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.
However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.
The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide…
If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law It doesn’t stop there though.
The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;
The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights… Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.” If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

Sean 252 is right. Sensible tests of basic civics knowledge ought to be required of voters. I’d like to see a way devised to exclude some net tax consumers from the voter rolls as well.
Unlimited voting rights have cheapened this great civic responsibility. Its value must be restored.

Judith commented:
Everytime I read new stuff about this bill, I become more freaked out. I pray (hard) that all of us (Repubs, Cons, Libertarians, Indies) can see past our petty differences and unite to repeal this obamanation. As for the “stupids”, I always knew they were running things; affirmative action, you know.
UpChuck.Liberals commented:
I’m wondering, do Waters, Waxman, Pelosi & Boxer all take stupid pills or do they come by it naturally? I can understand Biden being out of it, I can almost understand why The Dear Leader is lazy and was brainwashed. What I can’t understand is why we in California keep sending so many morons to WDC. Yeah Yeah it’s a rhetorical question. Forest said it best “Stupid is as Stupid does”.
ahem commented:
Maxine is an effing joke.
Rock commented:
Of course a Socialist would be angry about anyone waving the American flag.This is not stupidity on the part of the Socialist Party but a long and devious undermining of American values and believes. The walk by Pelosi and her suck ups through the crowed was nothing more than a slap across the face of the American people. She is nothing more than a aged Berkley hippie, in a suite and a face distorted with botox. So of course Maxzine feels right at home with these traitors.

While Maxine Waters certainly is a few spoons short of a full drawer of silverware, here’s another candidate for stupidest congressperson:

Unreal. How do these folks keep getting re- elected? Also, no wonder they think we are too stupid to figure out that what they are doing is unconstitutional!
Andreas K. commented:
This is something you can see in Germany all the time. Some Germans dare to show the German flag, black-red-gold, and leftist politicians are outraged and say “it’s like the nazis!”
Because, apparently, the nazis loved black-red-gold. Which they actually didn’t, Hitler hated it, but facts don’t matter.
Joschka Fischer, former German foreign minister and from the Green party, once wrote that the Germans need to be thinned out racially.
Welcome to being Germany 2.0
Enjoy it.
It’s going to get far worse from here.
Ian Christopher commented:
How can anyone claim that comments like “The Congressional Black Caucus would be the perfect cast for a remake of the old “Amos and Andy Show”, of course with Hank Johnson in the role of Kingfish.” by USMC Thomas, or “As for the “stupids”, I always knew they were running things; affirmative action, you know.” by Judith or “Congressional Black Caucus. ’nuff said.” by kato be construed as anything but racist?
And exactly what does gus mean when he says
“No they’re mostly black. How’s that GREAT SOCIETY working out?” Is Ptg longing for the good ol’ days before women and black people could vote? It sure sounds like it from this comment “Sean 252 is right. Sensible tests of basic civics knowledge ought to be required of voters. I’d like to see a way devised to exclude some net tax consumers from the voter rolls as well. Unlimited voting rights have cheapened this great civic responsibility.” How can anyone agree with that and then refer to anyone else as being elitist?
If you don’t want to be thought to be a racist movement you should object when people say things like this. But I never read one comment telling them that they are not helping your cause any with these kind of racist comments. So, I have to believe you agree with them. I hope you prove me wrong but I’m sure I’ll be attacked for quoting them rather than those people that actually said the stuff. In fact. I’ll be surprised if this comment isn’t censored or removed.
I just wanted to point out to you that these kind of comments don’t make a black man feel welcome here or discourage the popular opinion of the Republican and/or Tea Party as just a bunch of racists concerned about the loss of their white power.
Chisum commented:
Redefining the term racist so that it suits ME
Horrified by the fact that the American people are not dancing in the streets now that Obama Care is the law of the land, the Left is doing what it does best: tarring and feathering anyone who stands in its way. The current libel is that people who oppose Obama Care are racist. These foaming-at-the-mouth neo-Nazi KKK tea parties, say the Left, hate that Obama Care is the signature initiative of a black(ish) president, and they hate the fact that their money might be used to benefit black people in any way, shape or form. The Lefties are pushing this meme aggressively, despite the absence of any evidence to show that it is true and despite the fact that the centerpiece of this libel looks to have been both a set-up and a fake.

Indy Voter commented:
Joanne,
As soon as I read HR3200, the original house bill, I wrote letters, called not just my rep and senators, others in leadership positions and on the committees who wrote the bill telling them the bill transfers enormous powers to the exectutive branch. I directly confronted my rep about and got nothing in response but a blank stare and form letters. HHS, Treasury, Labor all have picked up powers never thought of by our Founding Fathers…they must be spinning in their graves.
As for Maxine Waters, isn’t there anyone in her district willing to run against her? She’s a disgrace
Ian Christopher commented:
Chisum, #35
I don’t see what your comment has to do with anything I said and I’m not sure it was addressed to me either. However, I’m curious, do you think that the comments I quote in my previous post (#34) are racist under “your” definition of racism? A simple yes or no answer will suffice?
truth teller commented:
Obama: Hero to the Unproductive!
If we wanted to match Maxine Waters skills and intelligence with a role in society…I would say she qualifies for a Department of Motor Vehicles clerk job.
This government is an embarassment.
USMC Thomas commented:
Racism is when SOBama received 96% of the black vote.
Andreas K. commented:
I consider the term “racism” to be an invetion by the racists. It implys that there are more human races.
There are not.
There is only one human race right now. The homo sapiens. If there were, let’s say, some homo flores or homo australopitecus stilla round, yes, then it would be legitimate.
But solely for skin color?
Nope, sorry, doesn’t work. That’s like saying a basset hound with black spots is a different race than a basset hound with the usual brown spots. It remains a basset hound, one way or the other.
Andreas K. commented:
It’s funny though, Ian. We are the racists for making such comments (and I would say many of them are made in anger anyway.)
But racism against white people seems not to worry you. Strange.
USMC Thomas commented:
Congressional Black Caucus – Not racist
Congressional White Caucus – Racist
Babsy commented:
#34: Do you think we would support these idiots if they were white?
Ian Christopher commented:
Andreas K.
First you say that “racism” is a term invented by “racists.” Then turn around and tell me that “racism” against whites doesn’t bother me without any evidence to back it up. Make up your mind you can’t have it both ways. However, since the only racist comments I’ve found on here are against black people and as I haven’t seen anyone saying anything remotely close to the comments I quoted above (#34) about the white race. I can not prove to you otherwise.But If I had seen any such comments I would have quoted them as well. I’m well aware that racists come in all colors.
Yet nothing changes the fact that if The Republican and/or Tea Party doesn’t want to be thought of as a racist movement you can’t make or condone these kind of racist remarks. Nor should you pretend that racism doesn’t exist. Now, I have to believe everyone agrees with them as I have received several comments that take issue with what I’ve said yet no one has taken issue with the original racist remarks. So, I rest my case.
Ian Christopher commented:
USMC Thomas #42
“The Congressional Black Caucus would be the perfect cast for a remake of the old “Amos and Andy Show”, of course with Hank Johnson in the role of Kingfish.” – Racist
“i love a people who have always made me welcome to the best that they had…who are honest without laws…who never take the name of God in vain…who worship God without a Bible…and I believe God loves them too.” -Not racist
Ian Christopher commented:
Babsy, #43
No, I don’t think that you would support these politicians if they were white because they would still be Democrats. But I do think you’d not only support but even make excuses for them if they were white Republicans.
Now, answer my question. Do you agree with and condone the comments I quoted in my original comment (#34)?
Lori commented:
Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, John Conyers, Jr., Jesse Jackson, Jr., John Lewis, Charlie Rangel, Barbara Lee, Sheila Jackson Lee, Alcee Hastings, Keith Ellison, Elijah Cummings, Jim Clyburn and the other 30 members of the Congressional Black Caucus, a.k.a race baiters and poverty pimps. I can’t decide whether to be angry at them for what they’re doing to our country or pity them because they are so monumentally ignorant.
TaSS commented:
Maxine Waters is ignorant.
Nancy Pelosi is ignorant.
Does it make any difference what color either of these women are?
The fact of the matter is evreyone, by design, is getting distracted by race.
The only thing seperating us is ourselves. The power belongs to us, the flag waving,
patriotic, mad as hell, rabble called the American people.
Ian Christopher commented:
I notice you all either ignore my question “Do you agree with and condone the comments I quoted in my original comment (#34)?” As this question only has two possible answers a simple yes or no will suffice.
USMC Thomas commented:
Ian Christopher:
Your smug, racial virtue is more elevated than SOBama’s nose.
Chisum commented:
Someone, ANYONE, please burn a feather under Ian Christopher’s nose. He’s suffering from the vapors.
Ian Christopher commented:
USMC Thomas,
You can’t deny the truth and as they say the truth hurts but it can also set you free. If you are a racist as your comment clearly suggests, then at least have the courage of your convictions and admit it. Calling me names doesn’t change anything and does nothing to repudiate the simple fact that what you said was without a doubt a racist remark. Whether you knew it was or not remains to be seen. However, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe, you thought it was funny. But take it from me it wasn’t and neither was “Amos and Andy.”
USMC Thomas commented:
I am not a racist and my comments still stand.
Ian Christopher commented:
USMC Thomas #53
In my opinion you can’t stand by your comment and not be a racist as you are comparing the Congressional Black Caucus to the racial stereotypical characters “Amos and Andy” that were portrayed on the radio by two white men. I’m sure they didn’t think they were racial insensitive either but back they maybe they just didn’t know any better. Maybe you don’t either but you should and at the very least I hope you do NOW!
USMC Thomas commented:
As I remember, the “Amos and Andy Show’ on television featured an all black cast, that portrayed an urban, middle class, black community which included bankers, policemen, doctors, preachers, store owners, cab drivers, insurance sales men, lawyers, etc. and TWO-PARENT families. In retrospect, it would be disrespectful to the people in that television community to replace them with the buffoon’s in the Congressional Black Caucus.
Ian Christopher commented:
USMC Thomas #54
Well then I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt as you obviously didn’t know any better. However, just so you know in the future, among the black community the mention of Amos and Andy brings this image to mind
http://www.radiorevisited.com/images/sets/AMOS%20&%20ANDY-7CD8.jpg
and is considered nothing more than a minstrel show. Even on the TV show the actors were directed to mimic the stereotypical voices from the original radio show. The show and it’s sponsor were also subject to a Civil Rights protest that eventually got it cancelled. Just as the lunch counter sit ins eventually made it possible for Black and White people to dine together.
Happy Easter!
Babsy commented:
#46: I agree wholeheartedly with #47 and I believe you are a racebaiter. Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell will be most welcome here because their acceptance isn’t about the color of their skin, it’s about the color of their politics, a concept you have enormous difficulty with.
USMC Thomas commented:
Ian Christopher:
I don’t need your approval, now or in the future.
just bob commented:
When judged by the content of their character they demand to be judged by the color of their skin.
Ian Christopher commented:
Unfortunately, you all seem so cosy in your white supremacy you don’t even notice when people are being racist nor do you appear to care and even more you apparently agree with the comments I originally quoted. (#34) Also, I was right when I said “I’ll be attacked for quoting them rather than those people that actually said the stuff.”
So, I rest my case. Your movement may not be racist but you give the few racists among you support and refuge in much the same way as the Catholic Church does it’s child molesting priests. You can’t claim people play the race card with out reason ever again. To do so is to ignore the truth.
USMC Thomas commented:
Bye, bye, Ian Xcrement.
Babsy commented:
#62: He was the troll that lost! And here I thought all along that dim supporters really cared about others! What? Bull Connor was a dimmacrap? Oh, yeah! I forgot for a moment! Silly me!
USMC Thomas commented:
I doubt very seriously Ian Xcrement was black, but rather some white self-righteous libturd displaying his superior racial virtue to compensate for his low self-esteem.
Ian Christopher commented:
I think the reason you all hate it so much when someone uses the term “racist” to describe comments like Judith, Kato, and Gus made is that deep in your heart you know it’s the truth,that the comments are racist and since you agree with them you condone racism. But what bothers you is that someone found out your dirty little secret and called you on it. At least have the courage of your convictions and admit the truth.
USMC Thomas commented:
Fool, we don’t care what you think.
Ian Christopher commented:
USMC Thomas also hates it when someone points out that his comments are racist. He doesn’t think Amos and Andy are racist either. He remembers the show as fondly as the days when blacks new there place and sat in the back of the bus. He wants his country back.
Chisum commented:

Now that’s what I call a fine example of projection.
From a misogynist.
Ian Christopher commented:
Chisum,
Ok I’ll bite. What have I said that is any way shape or form misogynistic? Quote me if you can.
Chisum commented:
Okay, troll-boy. Make some more comments about Sarah Palin.
You see, dippidy-doo, you aren’t the only one who can extrapolate about a person’s intent.
We all know that race mongers like you don’t like it when your own tactics are applied to you.
Really, it’s time to take your road show and go away. Really. You become tiresome.
Ian Christopher commented:
Chisum,
The single comment I made about Palin was hardly “misogynistic” nor did it make fun of people with special needs. In fact you were the one that asked if I was retarded or maybe you were being satiric and Sarah would give you a free pass.
I am not “projecting’ either read #55 and tell me that isn’t a fond memory of racial stereotypes. Read #22 and tell me that isn’t
remembering the good old days when you could prevent blacks the vote?
I find it “telling” that not a single person has condemned the the comments I quoted in my original post #34 and ignore the questions I asked.
USMC Thomas commented:
“I find it “telling” that not a single person has condemned the the comments I quoted in my original post #34 and ignore the questions I asked.”
Because there’s a 100% consensus your an asswipe.
Ian Christopher commented:
USMC Thomas#72
I’d say it’s more a matter of everyone agrees with the racist comments but don’t have the courage to admit it. They would much rather kill the messenger than actually address the message you are conveying.
USMC Thomas commented:
OK, I’ll admit it…your a racist.
Ian Christopher commented:
USMC Thomas
No I’m not. However, if I were I’d admit it and say I was in agreement with the comments I quoted in my original post (#34) I wouldn’t waste time saying everything but the truth. However, If you are not a racist you should really address the issue I bring up. Because obviously a few racists are sipping the tea and you don’t want to give anyone a VALID reason to call the movement racist. You want continue to be able to say that it is something the “lame street media” is making up you don’t you? But by everyone totally ignoring the racist comments I’ve previously quoted you run the risk of guilt by association. It would be one thing had everyone just ignored me as well but by addressing my comment and ignoring the ones I quoted reveals more about you and the others that commented than it does me.
If you really don’t think I haven’t a valid point why do you even bother to dignify it with a response? Had everyone just ignored it I wouldn’t have to respond to each additional comment now would I? But considering all the comments I’ve received I have to think that I’ve touched upon a sensitive subject and one you’d rather nobody mention. Perhaps, you have a “don’t ask , don’t tell” policy when it comes to the racists in your ranks that I am unaware of. I didn’t mean to “out” anyone. I really thought someone would want to address the issues I raised because of the bad publicity you have already gotten on your race relations. But I see now how it is.
Ian Christopher commented:
Ps. Whenever honor, integrity and reputation are called into question one should be quick, thorough and – when circumstances demand – quite loud in defense of them. Otherwise, one will assume that the accusation must carry some weight.
