Mass. Vote could threaten Obamacare

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 15, 2010 1:36:02 PM

Voter disenchantment in liberal Massachusetts with President Barack Obama's policies has turned a Senate election into a nail-biter that could imperil U.S. healthcare reform.

Democrats envisioned a smooth passing of the baton in the January 19 special election to fill the seat of the late Edward Kennedy, a political giant who died of brain cancer in August after holding the seat for 46 years.

A victory would maintain the Democrats' 60-seat Senate majority, allowing them to overcome Republican procedural hurdles that could block reform of the $2.5 trillion healthcare sector, Obama's top legislative priority. (Vote could threaten health reform... )

Instead, some polls say the race between State Attorney-General Martha Coakley, 56, and her Republican opponent, State Senator Scott Brown, is too close to call.

(It would be great news if  Scott Brown can pull off the win. It would stop forced Obamacare right in it's tracks and the policies he and his team are pushing. If you live in Mass. don't forget to vote this coming Tuesday  and support Brown. It would not only be a win for Brown and   the people of Mass, but also  the people of America.)

U.S. court mulls 'sexting': Child porn or speech?

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 15, 2010 12:09:19 PM

A three-judge panel in Philadelphia is hearing arguments Friday in a case between a county prosecutor and the American Civil Liberties Union. The prosecutor is threatening to file child-pornography charges against three girls after racy cell-phone images of them circulated through their high school. The photos show one girl topless and the others in bras. (U.S. court mulls 'sexting': Child porn or speech? )


The ACLU says the case is the first in the nation to challenge whether prosecutors can file child-pornography charges in "sexting" cases. It argues that harmless photos shouldn't be criminalized.

(Sending pictures of your private parts is not a right. There was a time when children would be more fearful of what their parents would do if they did something like this than worry about it being a right. These kids need to be grounded or not able to sit down for awhile which their parents should do. They also need to be taught that not everything that can be sent in a text message should be. )

A pretty penny to hear Palin

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 15, 2010 12:03:00 PM

The founder of the Tea Party movement is defending the steep price of admission for grassroots activists attending the Tea Party National Convention next month. (A pretty penny to hear Palin  )


 

 

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be the keynote speaker at the Tea Party convention in Nashville on February 4-6. However, some of her supporters are already complaining about how much it will cost them to hear their favorite politician speak in person. A ticket for Palin's speech alone will cost $350, while a ticket for the entire event runs $550.
 
Dale Robertson, the president of TeaParty.org, says not all "constitutional conservatives" who make up the Tea Party movement will be allowed to attend the event.
 
"This is not open for everybody. I mean, it's not open for a Tea Party event in the sense that it's a rally," he explains. "This is a leadership thing -- so the pricing is probably factoring in the fact that leaderships of these organizations need to be there.

(What do you think? I am not sure.  Please post your thoughts.)

Reid's liberal policies outweigh his comments

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 15, 2010 11:57:51 AM

The Mississippi senator who succeeded Trent Lott is more concerned about the policies of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid than the discussion of the double standard Reid's been afforded by the media.

 

 

Senator Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) used to be on Trent Lott's staff during the 1980s and later was his colleague in the House of Representatives before being appointed his replacement in 2007. 
 
"I'm more concerned that Senator Reid is the one who said our effort in Iraq was lost -- and that [that] statement went out to our troops in the field," laments Wicker. "I'm more concerned about the fact that Senator Reid presided over a budget last year that will add an additional trillion dollars of debt each year for the next ten years."

( I don't believe Sen. Reid hates black people but what he is doing to the people of America will hurt all people regardless of their race. Read more of the above story Reid's liberal policies outweigh his comments .)

NFL Picks

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 15, 2010 11:11:21 AM
Here are my picks for this weekend. 
Sat., Jan. 16, 8:15 p.m. ET, CBS: Baltimore vs  Indianapolis : I am a fan of the Colts and for the most part I like  to stay away from  picking  the games where I am for one team over another. However I believe the Colts will win this game by 10 points.
Sat., Jan. 16, 4:30 p.m. ET, FOX: Arizona vs New Orleans : I am going with Arizona but I think this game could go either way.     
Sun., Jan. 17, 4:40 p.m. ET, CBS:N.Y. Jets vs San Diego : I am also a fan of  San Diego. However I am still going to pick he game. I am not sure about this game but I believe the Chargers of San Diego.   
Sun., Jan. 17, 1:00 p.m. ET FOX:Dallas vs Minnesota ; I am going with the Dallas Cowboys to win this one.     
Again don 't put the dog or house on any of these games based on my picks. I just do this for fun.
