PELOSI IS IN LEGAL HOT WATER OVER OWENS' VOTE IN CONGRESS

Many of you have heard that the election for U.S. House of Representatives in District 23 of upstate New York is now in question.

While it appeared Independent candidate Doug Hoffman lost the rather unusual election (remember the endorsed Republican candidate was exposed as a hard core Liberal and she withdrew), by about 6000 votes, as of today he has cut that loss by one half.

The nervous tension that has arisen on both sides of the political aisle is that the results may very well be headed for a recount because so many of the outstanding absentee ballots aren’t due until Monday and they are expected to come largely from military people. It may not be enough to change the outcome of the election but hope has indeed been restored.

What hasn’t been reported by many is a very important effect the initial results set into motion.

Democratic candidate Bill Owens immediately boogied off to Washington and voted Saturday night on Nancy Pelosi’s pet monster project, the Health Care Bill. And here is where life beats a Hollywood script every time.

The New York Election officials refused to ‘certify’ the results of the election as soon as they notice the dramatic swing with the absentee votes. (Obviously Hillary wasn’t at home last week or this might never have happened!)

Not only did New York State Board of Elections officials hold back on their authorization, they contacted Nancy Pelosi directly and told her the Democratic candidate (who, at this point IS NOT THE ‘WINNER’) could not be legally seated in Congress.

NANCY PELOSI IGNORED THEIR CAUTIONARY INFORMATION AND SEATED HIM ANYWAY SO HE COULD HELP IN THE VERY NARROW PELOSI WIN IN PASSING THE HOUSE VERSION OF THE BILL.

Knowingly allowing an ‘unelected’, common citizen from New York to sit in Congress and actually vote on a Bill stretches any semblance of legality or common sense and IT ACTUALLY MAKES THE ENTIRE HOUSE VOTE UNOFFICIAL AND VOID!

There are justifiable expectations that certification of the election will come by Tuesday or Wednesday and the overall results will not change, but that does not excuse Pelosi’s radical actions.

See should be subject to an ethics review that removes her from holding the position as Speaker of the House.

PELOSI LOSES ONE OF HER OWN IN FLORIDA!

Democratic Congressional Representative Suzanne Kosmas from New Smyrna Beach, Florida has announced her reversal in supporting Nancy Pelosi's Health Care Bill in Washington. With a standing voting record that supported the Democratic Party line for more than 90% of Bills presented, and a prior position that she intended to vote in favor of the Health Care Bill, Kosmas surprised many in Central Florida with her change. Maybe she is getting back to a promise she made to voters a year ago: "I commit to you that I will be an independent voice in Washington focused on the people of this district - not on any political party."

But it really appears that the Freshman Congress Woman finally realized her own future was at serious risk if she continued to support Pelosi's approach to taking over the health care business and yet another huge chunk of America's economy. Despite pockets here and there, Florida continues to be a Conservative to Independent voter state.

Kosmas is from Volusia County, Florida which includes Daytona Beach. By some estimates Daytona's year-round residential population is 75% Black and last year the heavily Democratic base came out for her. Some wonder if the political shift that took place in Virginia and New Jersey this past week -- in which the "Obama Faithful" failed to show up at the polls and Democrats lost -- was all the threat needed to convince her to change her position.

It will be interesting to see the backlash she endures from Party leaders but more so, it will be informative to see if hers is just the first of many defections for Pelosi.

REPUBLICAN "CAP AND TRAITORS"

In the middle of the night as the country was emotionally distracted by the death of Michael Jackson last week, what better time would there be for Democrats to sneak an additional 300 pages into the "Cap and Trade" Bill that was passed last Friday.  Do you find it at all strange that when some members of the United States House of Representatives ASKED for a complete copy of the Bill they were told "No, it's not available" by the Democratic Leadership?  I don't.

Again our Congress passes a Bill no one has read.

What I do find appalling is that despite literally an endless barrage of e-mails and faxes to virtually every member of the House, NOT to support the Bill, it was passed anyway.  You can thank Nancy and her arm-twisting, bribe-distributing, extortionist  gang of hooligans (most often the ones wearing dresses -- whether they are female or not).

Just so you know, these Republicans voted for the Bill: Mack (CA), Kirk (CA), Lance (NJ), McHugh (NY), Reichert (WA), Smith (NJ) and Castle (DE).  Not only should everyone give them a call today, they have to find someone else to vote for in 2010.

In case you've been watching NBC, ABC or CBS News (where they did not report this), some of what went into the Cap and Trade Bill was a series of FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS that have already failed in California.  Just one?  Homeowners across the country would have to meet those standards that won't allow you to clear brush around your home so it's virtually guaranteed it will burn down when there is a fire.

Strangely enough, those codes are in direct conflict with the state funded campaigns in states like Florida (yes, they have fires too), where it is recommended homeowners remove excess brush.  But Californians like Nancy Pelosi and others do know what's "best for us", right?

Nationally, few people know that on July 1, 2008 California put into effect a new law that requires EVERYONE under the age of 13 to wear a life vest if they want to go swimming!  Try to tell that to even the PC crowd in the Northeast who routinely throw baby infants into swimming pools because "it's fascinating to watch them swim under water and then bob to the surface".  The rational in Sacramento?  They had too many illegal Mexican aliens (that they had 'welcomed' to the state), who didn't know how to yell "Help" in English!

This level of insanity and 'Nanny State' thinking is very much alive and well in Washington.
