Zach Space Knows He's In Trouble

He knows he's in trouble when he has to ring up newspapers and say:

Space says he's not ducking critics on health care
"I think some people are trying to create this impression that I have been running away from having town-hall meetings, and that's just not true," Space said. "I've been holding telephone town halls, where I can talk to, like, 1,500 people. I can't reach everybody; I have a 16-county district. But I have been able to reach 5,000 to 10,000 people with the telephone town halls on various subjects, people who call in with questions or who listen in."

He said in past years he was discouraged when only a few people would show up to announced town-hall meetings, so telephone town halls have been a more effective way of connecting with his constituents.

If you're not up to the job, don't run for office again. Which is a splendid idea.

Cash For Clunkers A Failure

via Gateway Pundit

As planned, the only beneficiary are the unions which paid Obama for a seat at the board table. Oh, and Japanese car makers.

Car Dealers Reviews reported, via Free Republic:
The National Automobile Dealers Association is urging the federal government to begin shutting down the Cash for Clunkers program immediately.

In a statement released Wednesday evening, NADA said that, given the rapid pace at which deals are being done, it will be difficult to say when the program’s funds may run out.

But Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said earlier Wednesday that all dealers would be reimbursed.

However, the NADA said, in its statement, that the group had “confirmed elsewhere” that dealers would not get paid if cash ran out.

Although, according to press reports, Secretary LaHood stated today that “there will be no car dealer that won’t be reimbursed,” NADA believes that this is based on DOT’s view that sufficient funds remain available. It is important to note that NHTSA has confirmed elsewhere that if the program’s money runs out before a dealer is reimbursed, that dealer will not be paid.

In a survey nearly 800 dealers,
97% of dealers who responded, say the government is not reimbursing fast enough
13% of dealers have dropped out the program because the government is not reimbursing fast enough and overall concern payment problems
87% percent of dealers are concerned the money will be exhausted
3% of CARS program deals have been reimbursed 66% of dealers have not received one payment from the government
25% of dealers are experiencing servere cash flow problems that require short-term loans to fix 11% of submitted applications have been approved (though dealers still are waiting for the money)
16% of submitted applications have been rejected
55% of dealers are not confident they will get reimbursed for every deal
40% do not want the program to continue, even if changes are made to the CARS program

If the respondents to this poll are found out we should see another round of dealerships being closed. That is the Chicago style.

Of course the headline implies the bank made the mistake. Bad banks.

My Bad! Woman's House Mistakenly Auctioned by Bank
A mistake in the Miami-Dade Clerk's Office appears to be behind the mishap, which landed Ramirez homeless for more than 24 hours.

You want a clerk's mistake involved in that surgery? Might help speed up organ "donations" through clerical "error".

AARP Losing Tens Of Thousands Of Members

But those tens of thousands don't mean much to AARP. Now, but if the other members who joined to get discounts on everything under the sun find out just how rotten AARP is the numbers may grow. A lot.

Thousands Quit AARP Over Health Reform
CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP memberships since July 1, angered over the group's position on health care.

Elaine Guardiani has been with AARP for 14 years, and said, "I'm extremely disappointed in AARP."

Retired nurse Dale Anderson has 12 years with AARP and said, "I don't wanna be connected with AARP."

Many are switching to the American Seniors Association, a group that calls itself the conservative alternative as CBS News Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports.

Last week alone, they added more than 5,000 new members. Our camera was there Friday when the mail came.

Letters were filled with cut-up AARP cards.
...

AARP says for a group with 40 million members that adds hundreds of thousands each month, losing 60 thousand is just a drop in the bucket. But to the much smaller American Seniors Association it's a flood.

Now where is the address for ASA?

Zach Space Meet Eric Massa

We know what to expect from the likes of Kucinich, Kaptur and the rest of the Demos in Ohio, but how strong are members such as Space and Driehaus?

Will they vote against the interests of their constituents again, especially for something as high profile as ObamaCare as Massa of New York says he will do?



Rep. Massa: I will vote against the interests of my district
Representative Eric Massa (D- NY) addressed an intimate group of Netroots activists during their annual Netroots Nation gathering in Pittsburgh this weekend. Mr. Massa reiterated his support for a single payer health care bill. He discussed the risks he takes for wanting to support such a measure in his "right wing Republican district."

According to Swing State Project, Mr. Massa won his 2008 race by two percentage points. The district's voting pattern index (PVI) is a Republican +5 seat. The National Republican Congressional Committee has the upstate New York congressman in their sights for 2010 along with 69 other House Democrats as reported by Politico. The transcript is below, and check out the corresponding video above.

MASSA: I’m not going to vote for 3200 as it’s currently written. Step one, I will vote for a single payer option or a bill that does have a medicare coupled public option, which we don’t have right now. If my town hall meetings turn into the same media frenzies and ridiculousness, because every time that happens we lose. We lose another three million people in America. They see that happening and negate us.
PARTICIPANT: It changes America.
MASSA: Every time that occurs. So what happens in my town hall meetings frankly is important, because I am in one of the most right wing Republican districts in the country, and I’m not asking you guys to go back to wherever and send people to me. This is a generic statement of what can I do? Well that’s one thing we can do.
PARTICIPANT: So if we got your meetings to sixty forty, you’d vote…and there was single payer in a bill you would vote for it?
MASSA: Oh absolutely I would vote for single payer.
PARTICIPANT: If there was sixty forty sentiment in the room?
MASSA: Listen, I tell every audience I’m in favor of single payer.
PARTICIPANT: If there was eighty twenty in the room?
MASSA: If there was a single payer bill?
PARTICIPANT: And there was a single payer….
MASSA: I will vote for the single payer bill.
PARTICIPANT: Even if it meant you were being voted out of office?
MASSA: I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful.
(inaudible participants' comments regarding the "interests" of the district statement from Mr. Massa)
Massa: I will vote against their opinion if I actually believe it will help them.

That he said this at a NetRoots' meeting makes it even more apparent that there are those that don't care what Americans think.

Why Doctor Death If No Death Panels?

Forced abortions and sterilizations.

Obama's mad science adviser
When it comes to having past views that should frighten every American citizen, Ezekiel Emanuel (see above editorial) has nothing on the president's "chief science adviser," John P. Holdren. The combination of Mr. Holdren with Dr. Emanuel should make the public seriously concerned with this administration's moral compass concerning care for the old and weak.

Earlier this month, Mr. Holdren served as co-chairman when the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology met for the first time. It's a disgrace that Mr. Holdren is even on the council. In "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment," a book he co-authored in 1977 with noted doomsayers Paul R. and Anne H. Erlich, Mr. Holdren wrote: "Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society."

There are some seriously sick people surrounding Obama. Administrations reflect the theories and thoughts of American presidents. What does that say about Obama?

How Libs Plan To Win The Health Care Debate

At least part of the plan. Watch how the media is already starting to tow the line on this theme.

Funny how the memories of all those news stories and investigations into leftist portrayals of Bush as Hitler come flooding back, eh?

We Got A Town Hall Meeting! $30 Per Question!

Another Sutton observed, "Go where the money is... and go there often." Betty agrees.

$30 to ask Betty Sutton a question (go read, it's funny, but true)

Ah, the lucky 13th, Akron. I used to visit there often up a tiny dead end street at an apartment in an old industrial brick building with a shear drop down one side to a highway, but a lovely lady named Etta lived there. And she always had a cherry pie for me. With ice cream. And a hug.

Etta would've told Betty Iscariot where she could deposit her 30 pieces of silver.

"Evil Mongering Nazi Terrorists" Win Round 2

They won the first round by forcing discussion and debate on Obama's socialized medicine plan.

Now they have won round two by forcing the plan which hasn't even been written to drop a part that Obama said didn't even exist.

'End-of-life' provision to be dropped from bill...

I think intelligent Americans have already formed a death panel for ObamaCare.

If Slander, Name Calling & Lies Don't Work For Demo Town Hall Mtgs Just Use Censorship

I guess calling little old men "Nazis", little old ladies "evil mongers" and voters "KKK", "unAmerican", "racists, "terrorists", and (more to come, no doubt) hasn't made the difference in the government controlled health care debate that Democrats had hoped for. Nor has fake doctors. Nor has planting faux protesters with hateful signs. Alas, nor has lying and slandering Republican elected officials for their opposition. What to do, what to do?

Now the Democrats want to censor the news so the people can't see what is going on. Brilliant.




Like the reporter said, the next step in to stop meeting with constituents. Oh wait, that's already happening. Where in the world is Zach Space, Betty Sutton, Marcy Kaptur and others? Many are saying they will attend meetings with no dates or times or "stop" by a fair to "chat" with voters or there is the fudge factor where protesters are thrown out of constituent meetings. Of course, nobody really knows where Dennis "Moonbeam" Kucinich has or will be for years. It is reported that there are "Kilroy ain't been here" all over the 15th district. Tim Ryan? Nope, he whispers that it is too early for health care forums. Driehaus had one and he's still nursing the trauma. Probably from that smarmy intro given by everybody's worst nightmare teacher.

Rep Sheila Jackson-Lee, Che And Fake Doc Support ObamaCare

Via Gateway Pundit

The love and caring keeps pouring from Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-TX.

It appears while Sheila was on her cell phone a non-constituent Obama delegate plant was able to obtain a medical degree to give more gravitas to her vocal support of socialized medicine.

Yeah, giv'em a shout out for me. Tell'em I'm still working on the next hurrican getting named Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn or something like that.

Listen, gotta go. Bye Bye.

Why Are Obama, Pelosi And Libs Insulting Older Americans?

Obama says that doctors are butchering patients for profit. Tonsils, appendages, etc getting lobbed off for just profit, not because the operations are prudent and necessary, but just for profit.

A health care bill over 1,000 pages and nobody has read it it seems and wouldn't understand it or agree on what it means if they did. Congress-skrit is harder to decipher that Sanskrit. Lawyer crapskrit makes Sanskrit, by comparison, easy to read.

End of life talk is in the bill, but the bills supporters says it doesn't really mean anything. It's just there. It's also just an idea that maybe an older person needing a pacemaker or heart surgery should just take an aspirin, according to Obama.

Now that people all across the nation are hearing what possibilities are in Congress' health care bill they are asking questions, protesting and getting angry. They are getting angry because people like Reps. Zach Space and Betty Sutton are not meeting with constituents and other Reps can't answer questions about the health care reform bill.

Where Reps are meeting with constituents in town hall meetings people are showing up in greater and greater numbers and they are angry. These Reps have responded by calling them Nazis, KKKers, members of a mob, ignorant and racists. Now that this tactic is failing these Reps are supplying faux protesters calling Obama a Hitler and other things. These fake protesters are plants being paid by these Reps, unions, liberal groups and the democrat Party.

Look at the photographs of the events. Who are these despicable people? A great many of them are elderly. A great many are children of elderly parents that are sick and scared to death over this government takeover of life and death decisions.

But Pelosi, Libs and Obama show nothing but disregard and disrespect to them. They insult their intelligence. They insult their right to debate and ask questions. They insult their concern. They insult the people that made this country great.

My father died of a fourth heart attack caused by a work ethic that wouldn't allow him to slow down. His patients needed him no matter what time, what day and generally on all of our birthdays, Christmas and all the other holidays as well. My mother died after a very long battle with Alzheimer's.

I am insulted that Obama, Pelosi and Libs are insulting their memory. My father served in the military to fight Nazism. My mother worked tirelessly while he served to supply nursing care to the returning wounded, the poor and any other person that needed it as she raised the beginnings of our large family. I am insulted because my parents would be right in there protesting, debating and caring about the outcome of this horrendous idea of government health care.

My parents fought the Nazis. My parents thwarted the KKK and took in patients no matter what color they were or if they could pay. My parents pushed back on the Mob. My father had to hide, as a young man, when he was a reporter for the Akron Beacon Journal because he named the names of the Irish Mafia that murdered the Italian couple that helped raise him as his mother worked 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet. He became a doctor because each night he saw their twisted, mangled bodies that have been violated with shotguns and there wasn't anything he could do to help them, but try to push their organs back into their bodies and hope that would help. He helped people for a lifetime.

My mother and father were passionate about the United States of America and the freedoms endowed by the Creator that America enjoys. Now they would be called Nazis? They would be called KKKers? They would be called members of a Mob? They would be called racists?

I wish my parents were alive today to join these American protesters. These protesters are the people that made this country greater than it was when they came into this world. They are not the protesters that wish to tear down this great experiment in a freedom.

Where is the respect we were taught to give our seniors?

Zach Space Hides From Voters

It's August. It's August recess for members of Congress. Where is Zach Space? He's appeared for editorial boards. He's attended private functions in private residences. One can read his words, but only through those newspapers he deigns to speak to and his words soar as he relates how he stood between those that would do us wrong and the blinding reason of logic with which he subscribes. Heady, but exhausting work. Maybe Zach is in bed resting from the wounding battles he fights on our behalf. A good thing too, beds in DC are used so seldom for merely resting.

Ohio Blue Dog Zack Space Defends Record, Takes Obama Call

Zach's words can be heard to reverberate in private residences far from the madding crowd that elected him. Amidst the 35,000 constituents of Coshocton County Zach spoke privately to a few in a private place where he queried, "If there are teabaggers in the crowd, just understand I'm not going to allow this forum to be used by you to disrupt my attempt to send a message regarding this health care policy. Perhaps there are none here and if that's the case, hallelujah." Zach, being a tidy fellow since a wee lad, doesn't like the messy give and take of politics. Can I get a hallelujah friends?

Hallelujah!

Worn from the war of a Democrat committee, Zach rolled out the talking points to bolster his decision to roll over like a dog and give Mr. Waxman his vote. The talking points given Zach gave him the strength to once again do a Cap and Trade on his people. The people that voted for him. That's why Zach is blue. Sad. Sad that constituents would reach down into the gutter of debating politics. Come on, give me another hallelujah friends.

Hallelujah!!

Zach, a warrior, stared down Waxman, almost, but he calmly faced the withering fire of Paul, Keynes was part of the VRWC, Krugman, at least until he caved to Waxman and the withering withered. Zach has laughed in the face of Keith Olbermann, just like 99% of America, and may well ignore Olbermann's warnings about the progressive movement, at least until it's fundraising time. Then Oberleutnant Olbermann will be found correct, that Zach is just a dog, but as a dog he will be panting for attention and adoration. And money, which reminds me, pass the collection plate and give me a hallelujah.

Hallelujah!

Zach. Zach the warrior. Zach, that magnificent bastard protecting us, even from ourselves. Zach the wounded warrior for our behalf isn't meeting with his constituents. Unless he's in a private home or office to collect stories or checks.

Zach the coward.

Hallelujah?

There's no hallelujahs for cowards.

Go back to bed Zach. It's late and we're tired. Of you.

UPDATE: Brain Shavings has a reason for Zach's illusionist portrayal of an elected official. Hint, it ain't because he's to be trusted.

Shall we see symbols painted on the breast of townhall attendees, you know, just to ensure their identification is correct for the member?
