LOWER THAN A SNAKES BELLY !!!
LIE, CHEAT and saunder naked through the showers with your thingee flapping in the breeze, to intimidate congressman into voting for the vapor healthcare bill. That screws Americans. Why not? Fishy Rahm has been screwing the people of Chicago for years.
Why doesn't Rahm Emanuel pay property taxes?
According to the Cook County Assessor's website, the Chicago home of four-term Democrat Congressman and  White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, doesn't exist. While the address of 4228 North Hermitage is listed as Emanuel's residence on the Illinois State Board of Elections' website, there seems to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this home.
The Cook County Assessor's and Cook County Treasurer's online records indicate Emanuel's Chicago neighbors pay between $3,500 and $7,000 annually. However, Illinois Review has
been unable to locate any evidence that the former Clinton advisor and investment banker is paying his fair share of Cook County's notoriously high tax burden.
Why wouldn't 4228 North Hermitage property owners Rahm Emanuel and wife A my Rule pay property taxes?

One reason may be because Emanuel and Rule declared their 4228 North Hermitage home as the office location for their personal non-profit foundation called the "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation". As the non-profit's headquarters, their home could be exempt from paying property taxes.
In January 2007, USA Today reported on Emanuel's foundation:
The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust was formed in 2002, when the Chicago lawmaker was first elected. The former Clinton White House aide and his wife, Amy Rule, are its only donors. Emanuel was an investment banker after serving in the White House.
The trust reported having $2,900 on hand at the end of 2005 after receiving $34,000 from Emanuel and donating more than $31,000
During the past three years, Emanuel's charity gave nearly $25,000 to the Anshe Emet synagogue and school [a private school that the Rahm/Rule children attend]..., and $15,000 to the foundation run by former president Bill Clinton. It also gave $14,000 to Marwen, a Chicago charity that provides art classes and other educational help to low-income children. Rule is on Marwen's board.
(He doesn't pay any property taxes and he gets income tax write-offs by donating $25000 to the Synagogue
and other amounts of money to his Foundation. This allows his kids to attend school tuition-free
and allows him to expense a lot of personal expenses. What a racket!
Take all your income and donate it back to yourself via tax exempt orgs where you can spen d it on as
expenses to operate your car, pay the electric and water bills, etc.
I guess if you are a hypocritical "liberal" democrat who advocates raising taxes on everyone else, this is all permissible.)
Emanuel's 4228 North Hermitage home is one of the largest in the neighborhood, with a side yard that appears to be a vacant lot, making the Emanuels' property the largest portion on the block.
Other North Hermitage homes on Emanuel's block are valued in the $500,000 plus range. According to Cook County Treasurer's website, the Chicago owners of nearby 118 year old 4222 North Hermitage pay almost $6800 annually. The family at 4224 North Heritage pays $6000 each year in property taxes.
President Obama - himself a connected, Chicago insider who has benefited from questionable land deals - may find it difficult to explain why his very own Chicago-based chief of staff doesn't pay property taxes like the "little guy" he claims to represent. Or perhaps allowing his wealthy friends to avoid taxes is part of Obama's trickle down redistribution economics. It's certainly the kind of "change" we Illinoisans can believe in...since we're quite familiar with it here in the federal indictment land of Daley, Blagojevich, Madigan, Jones, Cellini, Rezko, etc.

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical........... Thomas Jefferson

The House Vote on the Senate Healthcare Bill Is the Final Vote; Obama Will Sign It Into Law
Americans need to understand the devastating significance of the House vote on the Senate health care bill set for March 18th. The Democrats have-by design-created the perfect storm to take over the US healthcare system, while providing an ideal distraction-reconciliation.
First, let's examine exactly how we got here. In late December, while Americans were arguing that no one had read the bill, Leiberman was posturing to vote against the bill with a public option, and the debate on abortion continued, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) took an existing HOUSE-passed bill, H.R.3950-the Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009-and here's how it unfolded . . .read full story
This is the same throw up awful Senate VAPOR Health Care Bill. These articles and more are archived on American Freedom. It's time America to stand up AGAIN and protest the taking away your freedom of choice. The government's unlawful takeover of 1/6th of the nations economic output. CALL 202-224-3121 and tell your Congressman and Senator to VOTE NO on the bureaucrats making decisions on YOUR HEALTHCARE.BE

Mayor Vernon Parker is a candidate for retiring Arizona Congressman John Shadegg's seat in Congress.
Parker, 50, is the current mayor of Paradise Valley, Arizona. Paradise Valley lies in the heart of Congressional District 3, a place where Parker garnered a record number of votes in his initial run for office two years ago.
He previously served as General Counsel of the United States Office of Personnel Management, then in the White House as Special Assistant to President George H. W. Bush. Later, Parker was nominated by President George W. Bush and unanimously confirmed with bipartisan support by the United States Senate, as an Assistant Secretary at the United States Department of Agriculture.
A small businessman, Parker also served as a pastor for two years at a small non-denominational church in Paradise Valley. He is a graduate of Georgetown Law School in Washington, D.C., where he met his wife, Lisa, a second generation native.
Raised by his grandmother and mother in a severely underprivileged neighborhood, Parker was able to escape the drugs and violence of his environment through love, education, and the commitment of family.
Parker will take his message of cutting taxes and creating policies that help the private sector create jobs to the nation’s capitol.

JUKEBOX JOHN

CHANGING HIS TUNE on Every issue.

AMERICAN FREEDOM IS DOING A SERIES on John McCain
Domestic Policy { 3 }

1. McCain defended privitizing Social Security. Now he says he’s against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)
2. On Social Security, McCain said he would not, under any circumstances, raise taxes. Soon after, asked about a possible increase in the payroll tax, McCain said there’s “nothing that’s off the table.”
3. McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn’t.
4. McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.
5. He argued the NRA should not have a role in the Republican Party’s policy making. Now he believes the opposite.
6. In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent illnesses and provide resources for public health programs. Now, McCain opposes a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, won’t commit to supporting a regulation bill he’s co-sponsoring, and has hired Philip Morris’ former lobbyist as his senior campaign adviser.
7. McCain is both for and against earmarks for Arizona.
8. McCain’s first mortgage plan was premised on the notion that homeowners facing foreclosure shouldn’t be “rewarded” for acting “irresponsibly.” His second mortgage plan took largely the opposite position.
9. McCain went from saying gay marriage should be allowed, to saying gay marriage shouldn’t be allowed.
10. McCain opposed a holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., before he supported it.
11. McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.
12. McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.
13. In 2005, McCain endorsed intelligent design creationism, a year later he said the opposite, and a few months after that, he was both for and against creationism at the same time.
14. And on gay adoption, McCain initially said he’d rather let orphans go without families, then his campaign reversed course, and soon after, McCain reversed back.
15. In the Senate, McCain opposed a variety of measures on equal pay for women, and endorsed the Supreme Court’s Ledbetter decision. In July, however, McCain said, “I’m committed to making sure that there’s equal pay for equal work. That … is my record and you can count on it.”
16. McCain was against fully funding the No Child Left Behind Act before he was for it.
17. McCain was for affirmative action before he was against it.
18. McCain said the Colorado River compact will “obviously” need to be “renegotiated.” Six days later, McCain said, “Let me be clear that I do not advocate renegotiation of the compact.”

"What Has McCain Done for AZ?" Not Many Voter Answers
PHOENIX, AZ. March 3, 2010. A new video shows Senator McCain saying he is confident that voters will judge him not for what he has done for Arizona during his 28 years in Washington, but bizarrely what he might do for them. That might be a good strategy on the part of Arizona's senior senator, as the video shows puzzled voters trying to answer the question, "What has Senator McCain done for Arizona?"
In the video, Sen. McCain is heard saying that he is confident that the people of Arizona will ".judge me on not what I've done for them, but what they think I can do for them." Most politicians who have spent as many years in the U.S. Senate as McCain has would be expected to run on their record - not their potential.
Vulnerable to the more conservative Hayworth on taxes, pro-life issues and illegal immigration, McCain has resorted to attacking Hayworth on spending, despite Hayworth having a better lifetime rating from Citizens Against Government Waste. Hayworth has a 98-percent rating from the American Conservative Union.
McCain also voted for the $850 billion bailout of the big banks which included $150 billion in earmarks, proposed a $300 billion bailout for mortgage lenders and, according to the Heritage Foundation, sponsored an amnesty bill that would have cost taxpayers $2.6 trillion over the long-term.
McCain Says "Misled" On TARP Support;
Nothing Misleading About His Support From Big Banks
PHOENIX, Ariz. March 1, 2010. Campaign finance records show that during the 2008 election cycle alone, AIG employees gave Senator John McCain almost $74,000. Not only that, but AIG also contributed more than $50,000 to the Reform Institute, a so-called "think tank" co-founded by Sen. McCain in 2001. Although the institute billed itself as a "nonpartisan, not-for-profit educational organization," many critics say it was nothing but a jobs program for McCain's campaign.
I may be a little naïve but, a Senator who is an integral part of the Washington establishment being mislead on a bailout bill? Seems very unlikely to me. If in fact it is an accurate statement then after 24 years in the Senate he needs to be replaced with a conservative candidate who can’t be mislead. BE
 MCCAIN AGAIN COMMITS TO BIG GOVERNMENT, ELIMINATING CONSUMER CHOICEPHOENIX, ARIZONA. FEBRUARY 12, 2010.
Renewing his commitment to big government in the face of growing skepticism about Washington's expanding powers, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) introduced legislation last week to further regulate vitamins and supplements. His partnership with U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota) follows other liberal efforts with Joseph Lieberman on global warming, Ted Kennedy on amnesty and Russ Feingold on First Amendment regulations, recently overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Moi thinks McCain is more interested in “working across the aisle” than he is representing the people of Arizona and America. Introducing legislation to eliminate choice and regulate vitamins is really NOT helping lower the cost of preventative healthcare. With the stroke of a pen and little interest in Americans health McCain (R- AZ.) and Dorgan (D- North Dakota) will make it more costly for families and seniors to take vitamins. YEAH!! John way to go.BE

THE BIG QUESTION IS? will the Obama Administration outsource our SHAMOBAMANATION HealthCare to China? Can't be bad after all Kung Fu traveled across America curing everything from warts to heart attacks with snake eyes and beetle juice.BE Uncle Sam points out the problems we have when we buy cheap products from China. "Buy, Buy American Pie" was written and performed by the Capitol Steps.  This is a parody and involves exageration. Tastykakes are made in the United States and not in China and definitely contain no harmful ingredients.  Little Debbie is also located in the United States and not in China and their products contain no harmful ingredients.
Ten REAL reasons to avoid products made in China: 1. Products made with hazardous materials 2. Lack of quality control, monitoring, and safety regulations, plus corruption 3. Tainted food, deadly drugs, adulterated products 4. High levels of antibiotics and toxins in seafood 5. Exploitation of the Chinese workforce and use of child labor 6. Predatory pricing and unethical business practices 7. Massive industrialization at the expense of the environment 8. Deforestation and mining has destroyed the water supply in Asia 9. Chinese military manufactured goods 10. Manufacturing in forced (laogai) labor camps and prisons

AGAIN OBAMA USES BAIT AND SWITCH
in trying to sell the American public on a vapor healthcare bill that is fraught with higher taxes, more government interference, sweetheart deals for special interest groups, purchase of vote ie: Lousianna purchase, Cornhusker kickback, it's the same old seante bill in a different wrapper. And needs to be rejected, it's un-constitutional and reeks of a government power grab of 1/6th of the nations enconomic output. BOOOOO Obamaa for trying to pull yet another fast one. BE  
RSC Policy Brief: President Obama’s Proposal - Still a Government Takeover of Health Care
On February 22, 2010, the President unveiled an outline of a healthcare proposal, three days in advance of the White House-led healthcare “summit.” The President had not put forward actual bill language, but rather has re-branded and made changes to the Senate-passed bill, H.R. 3590, in order to gain the support of more liberal House members. Presumably, this means that all of the provisions previously included in the Senate bill that are not explicitly changed under the President’s proposal, will remain intact. No CBO score is available as, according to CBO, “preparing a cost estimate requires very detailed specifications of numerous provisions, and the materials that were released this morning do not provide sufficient detail on all of the provisions. Therefore, CBO cannot provide a cost estimate for the proposal without additional detail, and, even if such detail were provided, analyzing the proposal would be a time-consuming process that could not be completed this week” – or in time for the health care “summit”. According to the White House’s own estimates, the proposal would cost $950 billion over ten years ($50 billion above Obama’s own target).
1.The President’s proposal still contains: Mandates: The proposal maintains the individual mandate and the Senate’s “free-rider” employer mandate.
2.Cuts to Medicare and tax increases to pay for the expansion and creation of new entitlement programs: Specifically the proposal increases cuts Medicare Advantage plans and raises the Medicare payroll tax even higher (adding it to a tax on earned income in addition to a tax on “high income individuals”).
3.No real medical liability reform: No changes to the insufficient medical liability provisions as passed in the Senate bill.
4.New bureaucratic boards that cede the definition of quality and gives more power to the federal
government:
5.Maintains provisions such as the comparative effectiveness research board (Patient
Centered Outcomes Research Institute, the Independent Medicare Advisory Board (IMAB) or
“MedPAC on steroids”, and more.
6.A form of a government-run plan: The proposal maintains the OPM overseen Multi-State Plans and Co-Ops.
7.Sweetheart deals: including the “Louisiana Purchase”, various provisions of the “Cornhusker kickback”, carve outs for unions, and many more.
8.Broken promises: Obama set several parameters, including that the bill would cost under $900 billion, not raise taxes on those making under $250,000, families’ health insurance premiums will go down by $2,500 a year, and if individuals liked what they had they could keep it – however none of these promises are kept or restored by President’s rewrite of the Senate bill.
HAROLD FORD BLASTS DEMOCRATS FOR BEING "TOO SLOW TO CHANGE," FOCUSING ON GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE INSTEAD OF JOBS. "These ar e tough times, and the New Yorkers I have met are facing economic adversity with grace and dignity ... And yet too few in the Democratic Party are really willing to break with orthodoxy to meet these challenges. We need leaders as good as the people they represent -- leaders focused on creating jobs, keeping taxes low, helping
small businesses and restoring faith in government. Voting for health care legislation that imposes billions in new taxes on New Yorkers ... is not good for thepeople of this state ... the party has been too slow to change." (Harold Ford, Jr., "Why I'm Not Running For The Senate," The New York Times, 3/2/10)
