Colin Powell – “I am still a Republican”

No you’re a RINO Colin you are a Republican in name only. You’re are as about as conservative as I am loony left wing liberal, there is nothing conservative Republican about you, period. While the GOP is excepting of many views and opinion siding with Barack Obama’s big spending liberal-socialist agenda is not one of them and Colin Powell does just that.

Colin Powell fires back at Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney

Tom Ridge came to Powell’s defense stating that…

“I think Rush articulates his point of view in ways that offend very many,” Ridge said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Well Tom is that why he has 15-25,000,000 listeners every week? How many are listening to your Mr. Ridge? Remember Gary Bauer, who said of Ridge was a “peacenik-type of congressman during the Reagan years” it is not secret that Ridge and Powell are socially liberal establishment Republicans

To quote RedState.com

Folks, the GOP has not moved right in the past twenty years. You cannot tell me that the GOP is more conservative now than it was during the Reagan years.

Tom Ridge, Colin Powell, and others have moved left. They just don’t want to admit it.

By the way, Tom Ridge, if you aren’t offended by what the administration is doing, you haven’t been paying attention.

And that’s what it comes down to people not paying attention to the mismanagement of Barack Obama, it’s only taken him about 150 days to spend this nations wealth.

In a sobering holiday interview with C-SPAN, President Obama boldly told Americans: “We are out of money.”

C-SPAN host Steve Scully broke from a meek Washington press corps with probing questions for the new president.

SCULLY: You know the numbers, $1.7 trillion debt, a national deficit of $11 trillion. At what point do we run out of money?

OBAMA: Well, we are out of money now. We are operating in deep deficits, not caused by any decisions we’ve made on health care so far.

So Powell, Ridge if hanging out with the big spending socialist that has spend out country dry and ran unemployment up to the highest levels in decades is your idea of being a Republican, you need to get a clue it’s not.

Open letter to Rep. Ed “RINO” Whitfield’s unconstitutional vote.

rinocratthumb

Hat Tip to toastyaroma.com for this logo.

Here is a copy of the letter I sent to former Democrat that now resides in the DNC closet while wearing a GOP mask or as I like to call them RINOcrat. If you Republican congressman voted for HR 1538 then feel free to copy this letter to them, changing the appropriate words.

Congressman Whitfield,

While I do not agree with the AIG bonuses, the fact that the administration knew about this in advance and that the contracts were already in place renders the argument against them moot and validated the hypocrisy and ineptitude of Congress that fail to read the largest spending bill in American history. This 90% tax that you voted on is not only a violation of the Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3 of the US Constitution additionally it is by voting for this unconstitutional bill a violation of your oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

If you do not understand the guiding principles of the US Constitution or if you need a copy of it, please let me know and I can either explain it to you or send you a copy. One would think that a lawyer such as yourself would have taken Constitution Law 1 and 2 while in school; perhaps you missed those classes on “Bill of Attainder” or “ex post facto” law.

Congress has become an embarrassment to this great nation and your continuing siding with the fiasco of the Democrat Party is an embarrassment to the Republican Party of District 1 of Kentucky. Perhaps you should come out of the closet and join the opposition. As you have bent to a “mob rule” mentality and your job is to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States in the face of irrational public emotion, perhaps John Boehner can give you some lessons in that, I would seek out his guidance.

In closing these bonuses that AIG received is the direct result of congresses inability to effectively execute the job in which they were elected by passing unread legislation and feigning outrage when caught, this is nothing more than a diversionary tactic to misdirect the public from congresses own incompetence.

If any of the Congressman’s minions reads this letter, please make sure the RINO gets a copy.
Now if you think this letter is disrespectful of the Congressman, remember this respect is earned not given.

Ok, here is why this is unconstitutional in simple words if you don’t get it.

On Monday you are driving in your car talking on a cellphone, there is no law against it, on Tuesday the City Commission passes a law making it illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving, on Wednesday you are charged for talking on the cell on Monday, get it? You have to have a intent to commit a crime in order to commit it! You can not commit a crime that is not a crime and you can not be charged with a crime that was not a crime when you did it after the law (read legislation) was passed making it a crime.

It’s unconstitutional and it violate Due Process, Ex Post Facto and Bill of Attainter.

IT’S A VIOLATION OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION!!

Rep Ed “RINO”Whitfield (R-KY) UPDATE


If you read the original post, then you know I’ve been waiting on an answer, well I finally got a answer. A long drawn out BS answer I will not bore you with the entire letter it was basically a form letter, but I’ll give you some excerpts.

“Although I usually vote against omnibus appropriations bills, I reluctantly voted in favor of this legislation because it included funding for several projects of critical importance to our area of Kentucky”

Wrong answer Ed! At this time we need to shut down this run away spending and if the projects are that critical then put forth a bill requesting funding. These catch all bills need to stop.

“I have heard from several Kentuckians who are critical of the federal funding for local projects, commonly referred to in the media as “earmarks”. Although they are widely criticized, I don’t think earmarks necessarily are a bad thing.”

So you like earmarks and you don’t care what your constituents say, do I have that right?

“As Congress prepares to begin Fiscal Year 2010 appropriations process, it is my hope that more transparency will be brought to the Congressional earmark process and to our government as a whole. Please know that I will be working toward that goal. while also working to reduce the abuse of frivolous earmarks that are a waste of taxpayers’ dollars.”

And vote “YES” to this porked up spending package is working towards that goal exactly how? Please enlighten me.

So what was my reply to Whitfield …

Congressman, I received your reply today regarding your vote supporting HR 1105 and I found your reply unacceptable as you failed to answer a single question forwarded to you by your aid, Kristen. Republicans need to and must send a message to the Democrat leadership and this run away spending needs to stop. America can not afford it. So by voting for this bill you are clearly not part of the solution, but part of the problem. Congressman, you sold your vote for wasteful spending and earmarks. Spin it as you will, republicans need to say “No” to ALL earmarks until the economy has recovered. I can’t afford to be wasteful and increase my business spending by 8% neither can the government at this time.

Congressman, please get with the program or we will work to find your replacement. Being a conservative does not mean embracing liberal spending.

Now to be fair some of these earmarks are worthwhile projects for the area, and there are no extreme pork projects like some members have put forth. However, at this time regardless of the merit of a project a Republican/Conservative must say no to wasteful spending. Sometimes when you have a bushel of apples and they’re more rotten apples than there are good one, it’s more efficient to toss the entire bushel and start over.

Congressman ED Whitfield (R-KY) my RINO congressman.

Congressman ED Whitfield (R-KY) is my congressman, and it would seem he has ventured into the ugly, ugly waters of being a RINO along with 15 other Republicans on their recent vote for H.R. 1105 the Omnibus Appropriations Act for 2009. He and Bono, Brown-Waite, Cao, Capito, Castle, Dent, Emerson, Gerlach, LoBiondo, McHugh, Miller (MI), Murphy, Reichert, Upton and Young (AK) all voted with the Democrats to thrust us further onto debt with a $410 Billion spending bill loaded with over 9000 earmarks. This hot on the heels of the $4 trillion budget Obama in introducing today.

So aside from trying to buy votes why did Whitfield vote for this bill?

Well here is his official press release …

U.S. Representative Ed Whitfield (KY-01) secured more than $360 million in federal funds for projects throughout the First Congressional District which will create new jobs and provide a needed boost to local economies.

“During tough economic times, the money awarded to these projects throughout the First Congressional District will help to revitalize local economies and create new jobs,” Whitfield said. “Federal funding for local projects is absolutely critical to maintaining and growing our local communities. While there are a number of other projects in the First Congressional District I was hopeful would receive funding, I am pleased that so many Kentuckians will benefit from the money our area receives.” Read more…
