Devious Lame-Duck Dems: This is Why Companies Don't Allow Fired Employees to Stay Another Month to Pilfer and Sabotage

Operative word for conservatives: vigilance
The so-called progressives aren't done with 
their date-rape of this country just yet...

As legislators return to the Hill today, don't let the reported "slow start" to the congressional lame duck session lull you into complacency... rather expect the worst and keep your guard up for a sharp left-hook at anytime over the coming weeks. 

From it's deathbed, the fading Obama-Reid-Pelosi triumvirate is apt to ram-through anything they can get the votes for: it's not like they'll be restrained by any scruples- and you already know what they think of your opinion. 

Aided by highly-suspect delays in Illinois, "progressive" Democrats in the Senate do appear to have been laying the groundwork for one last assault on our freedom 
-and pocketbooks- with a final "screw you" to an America that clearly can't get rid of them fast-enough...

Bruce Walker at American Thinker (highlights RR):

Now, in a lame duck session of Congress, Obama and his Leftist pals are already finagling the rules of democratic process. Senator-elect Kirk will not be sworn into office because undisclosed Democrat functionaries in the bowels of Illinois state government cannot find the paperwork. 

Oddly, though this duly elected Republican will not take office before the lame duck session begins, Senator-elect Manchin and Senator-elect Coons, both Democrats, will be sworn and serve in the lame duck session. The malodorous stench of hack partisanship is repulsive, but also familiar when Democrats are in power. 

What could a lame duck session do? It could do anything. 

House members already voted out of office in Red districts need not fear the wrath of the voters. Fifty-nine senators will be close to cloture strength, with "Senator" Manchin and "Senator" Coons voting while "Senator" Kirk waits for a file clerk in Springfield to find that darned missing paperwork needed to swear him into office. 

So all the great evils we feared from Obama can be done in a single day by a Left massively repudiated by the voters...

With 59 Democrats in the Senate, the GOP will be trusting Massachusetts' Scott Brown to sustain a filibuster. But given the weight of the highly-controversial bills that could conceivably be brought to a vote -such as the amnesty-granting DREAM act- conservatives should try to avoid counting solely on Senator Brown to deliver us... especially since the guy's not all that conservative anyway.  

Consider that while the Big Red Wave was washing across the nation earlier this month, all ten Massachusetts congressional seats remained in Democrats' hands- an event that may have a skittish Brown -with an eye on 2012- tempted to side with Obama on some issues. He's already done it in previously, though you'd think that the good Senator might be more of a stand-up guy than to enable such a shameful parliamentary stunt...

The Daily Collegian (highlights RR):

Although the state’s many committed moonbats don’t know this, Scott Brown is a liberal – albeit wealthier than the barn coat and old truck routine would lead one to believe. 

He rejected Sarah Palin’s and the Tea Party’s endorsement last year. He refused to appear with them on Boston Common in the spring for fear of ostracizing Massachusetts largely anti-Tea Party electorate...

In addition, he fully supports many liberal causes. These include legal abortion and the 2006 Romneycare initiative, which essentially required that all Bay State residents secure health insurance – privately or through the state. He also split with his party to vote for President Barack Obama’s financial reform and jobs bills earlier this year. 

...

Other than the symbolism of telling Washington that America didn’t want Obamacare, we haven’t seen much out of him. Essentially, Brown is keeping a low, uncontroversial profile. Two years isn’t enough to quench his thirst for higher office. 

I have little doubt that he has White House aspirations, and upsetting blue voters before he secures a full six-year term is not on his agenda.

In addition to the amnesties and spending you might expect to be forced-upon us, Obama recently stated that ratification of his criminally naive trust-and-no-need-to-verify START treaty with Russia is a priority... while to those with any strategic sense, the deal is a big mistake.

What's a concerned patriot to do? 

Put pressure on the ones who still have something to lose...

For instance, in the process of triangulating to get himself elected interim-senator, Joe Manchin (D-WV) promised he would not be a rubber stamp for Obama- and he faces re-election in 2012. This man must be held to his word by the good people of West Virginia.

Senator Nelson of Nebraska should also be watched closely... his part in the Cornhusker kickback scheme was not popular with his constituency, nor is the ObamaCare legislation is served to enable. Watch your step, Senator- we are.

Democrats from Bush-Republican states facing voters in 2012 -such as Webb (Va), Tester (MT), Bingaman (NM), McCaskill (MS), Nelson (FL), Sherrod (OH) and Conrad (ND)- need to be made sufficiently aware that they will be marked for elimination if they dare vote for for cloture in a lame duck session. Rather, we expect them to be respecting the will of the people and condemning the appalling Chicago Machine corruption that is keeping Senator Kirk from voting.

Those facing re-election in 2014 may also be reminded that we won't forget any affronts to democracy. Eleven Senate Democrats from Red states who perhaps could use a tap on the shoulder from their constituents include Begich (AK), Pryor (AR), Udall (CO), Landrieu (LA), Baucus (MT), Sheehan (NH), Udall (NM), Hagan (NC), Thompson (SD), Warner (VA), and Rockefeller (WV).

Contact your Senator quickly and easily -here-

And what they need to do is simply take a page from the smooth career path of Obama himself by voting "present" on all cloture motions... at least until the Democrat-run government of Illinois has time to scare-up those misplaced certification forms. You know, the ones that were NO problem when Blago picked Burris to be senator- and he was in DC the next week.

American patriots need to swamp these Dems with emails, phone calls, and letters to make sure they will indeed be held to account for their actions... whether in two years or four.  If the Democrats continue to refuse Senator Kirk his seat, the only possible vote that still respects democracy is "wait until January" to floor any controversial and/or unpopular bills.

But the most important thing for them to know at this time is that siding with Reid and the radical Left in disgraceful, anti-democratic lame duck maneuvers will surely sound the death knell for their political career- and they'd best believe that.

America Will Survive the Obama Debacle... But Will the Democratic Party?

Only if November's mid-term elections -where the far-Left 'progressive' movement is to be stopped cold- compels the Dem survivors to repudiate Barack Obama and adopt some semi-sane platform... because his name is mud now

As most polls continue to swing to the right, it's unlikely any amount of "bucking up" can spare House Democrats a humiliating political spanking on November 2nd- and they do so deserve one.

It's quickly become every-man-for-himself as candidates build all the distance they can between themselves and Dear Leader in the name of political survival. Supposedly the crowning achievement of this regime was "bravely" ramming back-door HC nationalization down our throats... yet one-in-four registered Democrats already favor repeal of ObamaCare, as do large numbers of Republicans and Independents.

Although vigilance is to be called for on our side -best be on the lookout for attempts to pull a Franken or stuff boxes in close contests- conservatives do have genuine reason to believe America's admirable tendency towards self-correction has at long last kicked in.

And fate has joined our side: the seemingly infinite political luck that propelled a corrupt, unqualified community-organizer all the way to the White House has vanished... it's all going wrong now.  

As most Obama voters deduce that the he lied-to/guilt-tripped them to get elected, it's also become more-and-more difficult for the WH/MSM/online Left to spin the radical agenda of this administration as anything other than what it is: deeply damaging and farcical hokum. 

Dick Morris says Obama has driven the party right off a cliff... perhaps never to recover:

Barack Obama is destroying the Democratic Party... 

The damage he is doing to his party's image and prospects closely resembles the harm Hoover did to the Republican Party, from which it did not recover for 20 years after he left office. And the extent to which Obama is discrediting the left parallels the damage George McGovern did to his ideological confreres in 1972, when he went down in flaming defeat.

In a sense, America met its first conservative in 1981, and fell in love. We met our first liberal in 2009, and are running away screaming. 

FDR was too long ago to count; Lyndon Johnson too distracted by Vietnam to make an impact. So Obama is the first full-throated liberal to be president in our lifetimes. And we won't soon forget him and the lessons his failure is teaching us.

Strangely, the Democrats don't yet get it. They whistle a happy tune as they march off the cliff. There is no voice of dissent against Obama's policies, no mumbled animosity, no suppressed discontent.

The party is solid as a phalanx behind its leader even as he sends it to political death...

This is likely not the legacy Obama had in mind when, with his massive ego, limited competence, and paltry experience, he took over the White House. Americans, in a fit of national delusion, made what they now realize was one of their biggest mistakes.

The magnitude of our error, or at least of our understanding of it, will become apparent on Nov. 2, when the GOP will win both houses of Congress, the House by a considerable margin.

The 2010 landslide will likely set the record for the largest transfer of House seats in an off-year election. The prior mark of 74 seats in 1922 (a Democratic gain in the wake of Harding's scandals and the Teapot Dome investigation) will probably be eclipsed. But the true measure of the damage Obama has done to his ideology and his party will not be evident for some time. 

Strike you as a tad overconfident? Micheal Barone at the Washington Examiner takes it a step further: America's turn to the right in this election has the potential to be nothing short of earth-shattering... with a 100+ seat Republican gain (!)

Yes, the Democratic party does appear to be on the verge of a historic election defeat, and less than four weeks from today- it's only the degree of the wipeout that really remains in question.

Pelosi's gavel seems certain to be yoinked, while over in the Senate the contested majority now moves into the "toss-up" column. Any subsequent lame-duck spending/amnesty stunts will only increase Americans' mounting animosity towards the irresponsible and arrogant libs... better dare not try it.

But as the damage they've inflicted over the last 18 mos. becomes increasingly apparent -i.e. inflation/dollar crash or Iranian bomb- any political comeback by the Dems in the short-to-mid-term seems unlikely... regardless of what the economy does.

The primary focus of our legislature should be defunding/unwinding monstrous big-government programs foisted upon us against our will... hard to imagine many Democrats finding prompt forgiveness and a politically-beneficial role in that... while any GOP-launched investigations will do little to aid Democrats' stature- not to mention the President's.

By 2012, people will lie to their children about who they voted back in '08, ditch incriminating hopenchangey paraphernalia serupticiously -if they haven't already-, even wince at the very mention of the name Obama... and the GOP could take 45 states running Gilbert Gottfried.

But be sure and get yourself and all like-minded friends to the polls on November 2nd, though- don't give ACORN and other leftist pond-scum the chance to snake any seats.... let's really blow them out of the water so they'll be none of that this time.
