For once, liberal agenda in California failed miserably. Already experiencing tax hikes on everything in the state, voters said no to paying higher taxes. The rejection of this proposal now forces the California legislature to figure out a different strategy for fixing its economic woes. Instead of following the liberal model of tax and spend, they will have to cut budgets and become fiscally responsible.
Now, maybe, the rest of the country will get the picture.
Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi has made her bed and now has to lie in it. She has spun a web of lies and can't seem to find her way out. Today, she held a press conference to accuse the CIA of lying to Congress about the use of enhanced interrogation techniques. Her stories get better each day.
Madam Speaker, who is the one lying?
Video of her shakey, stuttering account of the CIA lies:
Speaker Pelosi has led the crusade against torture. She has done so ever since it was convenient to do so. She has acted disgusted that the Bush administration used enhanced interrogation techniques, now labled torture by leftists. She has said that she did not know these methods were being deployed.
Just last week, she stood firmly and claimed that she was briefed that enhanced interrogation existed but that she did not know it would be used. Really? Are citizens supposed to believe that The Speaker was told about a hypothetical situation that would never, ever be used? Or, are we supposed to believe that we have someone speaking out of both sides of their mouths?
Intelligence memorandums paint a much different story than Pelosi does. They clearly state that she did know. Pelosi, a member of the Intelligence Committee at the time, says that she did not know that these methods would be used. She has though, finally admitted that she was told that things like waterboarding were ways that could possibly be used to extract information. In other words, Pelosi would have us believe that she was briefed about something that was not going on but might go on but would not go on. Yeah, I'm confused too.
Here is video of her last week. Notice how defensive she is and how she says that she does not talk about what goes on in intelligence meetings but proceeds to talk about what goes on in intelligence meetings.
In light of the spending spree Washington has been on, there is good news. Many campaign promises have been broken but one is being kept. Well, sort of.
On the trail, Mr. Obama vigilantly stated that he would go through the budget, line by line. He swore to cut waste and get the government back on track. It was the Hope and Change voters wanted.
Many have been scratching their heads since the new administration took the helm. Now they can see clearly. The President has decided to pull his scalpel out and cut the budget. $17 billion worth. The leftist will praise this President for being so thrifty. Truth be told, it needs to be done.
But, is 1/2 of 1% of the budget really doing anything or is it all just an attempt to divert our attention?
