The Stimulus Plan... Plain and Simple:
The government wants to raise our taxes so that they can loan the banks money so that the banks will be able to loan the money back to the tax payers so they have credit and can spend money. Now we have to pay interest on our own money. Why don't they just leave it in our pockets to begin with?????
Ignorant People Voting... Remember This? (click for YouTube)
Played on Howard Stern's show, they interviewed Obama supporters and asked about his policies. They loved his stance on the anti-stem cell project, agreed with his pro life support and keeping the troops in Iraq until the war was done... and even loved his VP pick, Sarah Palin.
Now are these informed voters? Unfortunately there isn't a law that says you must know who you're voting for. Now look at what we've got!

Republicans Budget - The "No" Party? Not true! (click for full budget)
House Republican leadership yesterday challenged President Obama’s assertion that Republicans have not offered solutions to the issues facing Americans today. At the unveiling of the new alternative budget blueprint yesterday, House Republican leader John Boehner held the document in the air exclaiming, “Here it is, Mr. President!”
“The Republican Road to Recovery” provides a detailed outline of the principles behind the upcoming GOP alternative budget that will be introduced in the House next week. As was the case when Obama released a blueprint days before the actual release of his $3.66 trillion budget, Republicans pronounced their budget process is well underway yesterday at this blueprint release event.
Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), chairman of the House Republican Conference, said at the blueprint unveiling yesterday, “After years of runaway spending at the federal level, the American people want this Congress to put our fiscal house in order. Instead, President Barack Obama has brought forward the most fiscally irresponsible budget in American history. It spends too much, borrows too much, and taxes too much, and the American people know it.”
The Republican blueprint describes a budget that will undo fraud and abuse by ending the Obama “stimulus bill” plans for the exorbitant Democrat spending binge on things such as the $900 million for the terrorist group Hamas or the programs making available $4.2 billion for “community stabilization” to groups such a ACORN.
Republicans would also finally tackle restoring financial stability by the incremental privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while reforming laws like the “Community Investment Act” which bears the overwhelming responsibility for the financial meltdown by government intervention forcing banks to make home loans to people who could not afford them.
There is much more in the “Republican Road to Recovery” blueprint which is available online.
The most important part of the budget fight is likely to come in the House-Senate conference on the resolutions. Some Senate Democrats are rebelling against the White House’s enormous spending plan and may even help Republicans resist the energy tax and healthcare plans.

Energy Tax (click for full budget)
Still the "No" Party? Still not true!
While Democrats plan a new annual energy tax of over $3,100 on every family in their “cap and trade” environmentalist whacko scheme, Republicans are offering a marginal tax rate of 10 percent on incomes up to $100,000 and a rate of 25 percent thereafter with a generous standard deduction and personal exemption. It would allow for everyone “satisfied with their current tax structure to continue to pay those rates, while dropping the two lowest rates by 5 percent to provide every taxpayer with a tax cut. Republicans would also permanently fix the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) so that millions would no longer have to fear the possible imposition of a huge, new tax each year.”
The Republican budget will offer their “all of the above” solutions for energy independence that would not only facilitate clean energy alternatives but would streamline the process for environmentally safe Outer Continental Shelf drilling and Arctic Coastal Plain energy exploration. It would streamline the process for leasing process while mandating “ first lease by the Interior Department within a few years.” Republicans would “expedite judicial review of energy development by making the court of appeals of the District of Columbia the sole venue for review and limiting complaints finite period -- reducing frivolous energy litigation.” There is much more in the “Republican Road to Recovery” blueprint which is available online.

As much as Obama realizes that coal is a primary resource he admits that his plan will bankrupt the coal industry. This is too scary... listen to these videos:

Socialized Medicine (click for full budget)
The "No" Party is more like the "no bull" party!
Democrats are maneuvering to include the president’s socialized medicine plan into their budget, a system that would be run by bureaucrats and would decrease the quality and availability of medical care. In Canada and in Europe, patients are being forced to file lawsuits against the government in an effort to obtain medical treatments as care is limited and rationed. Socialized medicine puts into the hands of government the power to decide what treatments you will receive based upon the cost of that treatment, fatality rates and your age.
In the alternative, Republicans are putting forth in their budget a plan to give millions more working families and small business owners access to affordable healthcare through tax incentives and would offer free-market solutions for lowering cost such as the ability to shop across state lines for the best prices on coverage. There is much more in the “Republican Road to Recovery” blueprint which is available online.

Karl Rove On Conservatism (click for video)
What has Mr. Obama inherited? $569 Billion. Last year we couldn't grasp a figure in the billions. Now it sounds like chump change compared to what this administration is throwing at us. In less then 2 months Mr. Obama has added $1.276 trillion with $1.845 trillion to the coming fiscal year. This is unsustainable and will leave us bankrupt.
We are now begging China to take on our debt. Think about that... do we really want China to have such power over our heads? They can make us drop to our knees in a minute with such a playing card.
Karl Rove speaking at the Heritage Foundation puts conservatism in perspective. About 45 minutes short he is worth listening to.

Socialized Medicine Is A Legal Death Sentence
On March 5, 2009, the Daily Mail/Mail Online reported that two drugs for advanced breast cancer and a rare form of stomach cancer were too expensive for the NHS. One drug, Lapatinib, can halve the speed of growth of breast cancer in one in five women with an aggressive form of the disease.
Dr Gillian Leng, Nice deputy chief executive, said 'The committee concluded that Lapatinib is not a cost-effective use of NHS resources when compared with current treatment.'
Up to 1,500 stomach cancer patients also face a ban on Sutent – the only drug that can extend their lives.
Draft guidance by Nice said the drug should not be used even though it approved its use for kidney cancer last month.
