Vote an Incumbant Out Campaign 2010

---

I just heard an announcement about Senator Robert Byrd setting a record just 2 days before his 92nd birthday for serving 57 years in Congress...

57 f'n years!?!?! REALLY?!?!?!

He's served since the Eisenhower administration.

What the hell does this guy have in common with any of you? How can somebody "represent" you, when they can't relate to "you" or your every day problems?

I remember Senator Strom Thurmond once refer to a microphone as a "machine"...

Anyway, our government is full of out-of-touch incumbants that have LONG out-served their usefullness. These bloated parasites have fed off our successes and contributed to our problems for too long.

Why vote them in again? They've had over 1/2 century to screw our country up, and as evidenced by today's environment have done a pretty good job of it too.

"We" share the blame for becoming apathetic and complacent, allowing them to return to office over, and over, and over... so we must STOP.

"We" all know that we can not trust nor count on our current representation to do anything other than pushing us further over the edge.

"We" have to start making changes, real ones, somewhere and there's no better place than at the polls.

"We" know there's no real change on the horizon if "we" trust our county's leadership to bring it about. "We" must do that ourselves... so...

Vote an Incumbant OUT in 2010.

Send a definate message to all that remain that we're mad as hell, and we're not gonna take it any more. You screw up, and do a horrible job and we'll fire your sorry butt!

Spread the word! Vote them OUT! We need fresh perspectives and ideas.

Supreme Court Overturns Bush v. Gore

Supreme Court Overturns Bush v. Gore

Quote:

WASHINGTON—In an unexpected judicial turnaround, the Supreme Court this week reversed its 2000 ruling in the landmark case of Bush v. Gore, stripping George W. Bush of his earlier political victory, and declaring Albert Arnold Gore the 43rd president of the United States of America. The court, which called its original decision to halt manual recounts in Florida "a ruling made in haste," voted unanimously on Wednesday in favor of the 2000 Democratic nominee.

Obama Tax Jokes

"Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit Obama's national debt." -- Tip o'the hat to Herbert Hoover



Based on his performance in office so far, President Obama should do just fine on his future tax returns. After all, he will be able to write off his second term.

A woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed to be far too qualified for the job.

The foreman frowned and said, "I have to ask you this; "Have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?"

"Well, as a matter of fact, I have!" she replied.

"I've been divorced three times, owned 2 Plymouths, and I voted for Obama."

Then Obama appointed Republican Governor of Utah John Huntsman ambassador to China. It’s all part of Obama’s plan to get ALL the republicans out of the country by the end of next year.

America's Forgotten Presidents.

Who was the First President of the United States?

If you answered "Duh. Everyone knows it was George Washington" you'd be wrong.

George Washington was not the first, but somewhere between the 9th and 20th man to hold the title.

Prior to the ratification of the US Constitution, the US was operating under the Articles of Confederation. (Side note, this included an offer to Canada to join us in our fun nation building experiment).

Prior to the AoC, there were 2 Continental Congresses.

Here (thanks to Wiki Magic) is the list of America's Forgotten Presidents.

List of presidents

The following men served as the president of the First Continental Congress:

• Peyton Randolph (September 5, 1774 – October 21, 1774)
• Henry Middleton (October 22, 1774 – October 26, 1774)

The following men served as the president of the Second Continental Congress:

• Peyton Randolph (May 10, 1775 – May 23, 1775)
• John Hancock (May 24, 1775 – October 31, 1777)
• Henry Laurens (November 1, 1777 – December 9, 1778)
• John Jay (December 10, 1778 – September 27, 1779)
• Samuel Huntington (September 28, 1779 – March 1, 1781)

When the Articles of Confederation were ratified on March 1, 1781, no elections were held or even discussed for a selecting a new president.[4] Instead, Samuel Huntington continued to serve as President of Congress until he asked to be relieved due to ill health on July 6, 1781.[4] On July 9, Samuel Johnston was selected as Huntington's replacement, but he declined the office the next day, and so Thomas McKean was elected as the next presiding officer.[4]
The following men served as President of Congress after the ratification of the Articles of Confederation:

• Samuel Huntington (March 1, 1781 – July 9, 1781)
• Thomas McKean (July 10, 1781 – November 4, 1781)
• John Hanson (November 5, 1781 – November 3, 1782)
• Elias Boudinot (November 4, 1782 – November 2, 1783)
• Thomas Mifflin (November 3, 1783 – October 31, 1784)
• Richard Henry Lee (November 30, 1784 – November 6, 1785)
• John Hancock (November 23, 1785 – June 5, 1786) Due to Hancock's failing health, he did not report to Congress, and the following two chairmen acted as president in his stead:
  • David Ramsay (November 23, 1785 – May 12, 1786)
  • Nathaniel Gorham (May 15, 1786 – June 5, 1786)
• Nathaniel Gorham (June 6, 1786 – November 5, 1786)
• Arthur St. Clair (February 2, 1787 – November 4, 1787)
• Cyrus Griffin (January 22, 1788 – March 4, 1789)

These men while holding a similar title, held none of the power and authority that began with Washington, and has grown to what we have today.
