Learn as much as you can about Mr. Weiner. Glenn Beck's new site to help set the facts straight about little Weiners everywhere. If you want to support Weiner education then please also post a blog about weiners linking to www.weinerfacts.com.
You can learn more about how you can help promote weiner facts here. It really is important to help Congressman Anthony Weiner and Obama's white house get some free press about their attacks on goldline, gold, and Mr. Beck.
Dear Mr Weiner, quit being such a Weiner.

Take this bipartisanship or I will shove it down your throat!
It is comical to see people talk about the stimulus bill in terms of it being bipartisan because less than .5% of Republicans in congress voted for the plan. 3 people total from the right side of the aisle supported this bill.
So were the Republicans "declaring war on Obama" as Anderson Cooper discussed this week? Or did Nancy Pelosi stuff lots of soldiers in this Trojan Horse?
Clearly the Democrats shoved this bill down the GOP's throat and expected them to swallow or else be called partisan. There is so much distressing stuff in this bill I dont know what to inform my friends about. The attacks come in funding, policy, and econimic directions. It is overwelming as a conservative American.
If you are a Democrat and came upon this ariticle about the "bipartisan stimulus bill", please ask yourself these questions:
What would you do if George Bush had tried to have Karl Rove run the census?
You were upset about "warrentless wiretapping"...but are you ok with the Government having 100% access to your medical records?
Are you OK with the fact that the #1 donor organization to your party is the Unions and the #1 beneficiary of this stimulus bill is those same Unions?
What if George Bush had appointed a TAX CHEAT to run the Department of TREASURY? (obama did)
please, slow down. look at how quick the CHANGE is coming. Some might say it is HASTY

Arlen Spector and The March of the R.I.N.O.'s ...again.
Our friendly R.I.N.O.'s are on the loose again. This time stopping the GOP from being united against an expansion of government. Do you think they know they are being used?Clearly everything they stripped out will be rammed down our throats this year in subsequent spending bills. So what did they gain? Press coverage. Party invitations. What a joke.
Arlen Spector is my Senator and his office assured me this week he would only accept a true Stimulus bill and not a Democratic spending wish list. This is going to be a long four years.
Republicans. What do we stand for?

President Elect Barack Obama
It appears that Senator Obama is our president elect. I am sad that our country believes he was the best man for the job. But he is my President; and I will give him an honest shot. His acceptance speech today will be his first opportunity. His history shows him to the left; but he campaigned to the center. If he governs from the center; I will be impressed. I hope that his talk of bi-partisanship and cooperation was more than just talk.
To all Democrats that fought hard for Senator Obama...congratulations. To all Republicans who worked and voted for John McCain lets be good losers and show the world how this Democracy accepts the will of the people.
May God continue to Bless America.

Headline 11/5/08: How did Barack Obama Lose?
(...5 days from today)
The entire world had predicted last week that Barack Obama would win the Presidential election. The polls told us so for weeks. The pundits told us so for months. This transformational candidate would win the country with more than a 300 electoral college votes. So what happened last night? How did John McCain squeak out a narrow 280 - 258 victory? There is just one word to explain it...BIAS!
Many this morning are talking about the Bradley effect and how voters lied to pollsters and in the end could not vote for a black candidate. This is irresponsible and false. The truth is the polls never showed Barack with a big lead unless you projected the vote incorrectly.
There were three major flaws in our pre-election polls that all the experts failed to see. First, the myth of the youth vote was once again proved false. Yesterday youth turnout exceeded 2004 numbers by less than 1% while all other segments of the population turned out in record numbers. Next, none of the polls predicted that so many Democrats in the rust belt and traditional red states would jump off the Obama ship. Apparently there really are conservative Democrats that could not vote for someone with such a liberal voting records. Finally the polls were distorted intentionally by the Obama campaign to try to achieve the sense of inevitability.
The distortion of the polls started in the Primary. Obama supporters were getting themselves onto polling lists and passing the word to insure they always answered pollsters questions. Online polls and phone polls were packed with partisans from one side. Meanwhile the disaffected conservatives who reluctantly supported John McCain had no enthusiasm for such trivial time wastes. The most ironic part of this strategy is that it is what likely cost Obama Pennsylvania by less than a 1000 vote margin.
The polls in Pennsylvania showed a 5-15 margin for Senator Obama before the weekend. So how did he lose the state? Simple. His voters didn't believe they had to show up. Obama won just six counties in Pennsylvania all surrounding Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. His campaign was destroyed in the suburbs and rural areas in margins not seen since the Reagan elections.
So today we find ourselves with huge Democratic majorities in the Senate and House with a moderate Republican to lead them in the White House. This is not what everyone expected, but it may be what everyone needs.
This may not be the headline on Tuesday, but it could be. Should be. I pray it will be!

Why are Gas and Energy Prices So High?
1) U.S. Domestic Oil production has been shrinking since its peak in the 1970s. The oil companies have been hamstrung by Environmentalists, Lawyers, and Democrats since then; making drilling in the U.S. un-profitable.
2) U.S. petroleum consumption far exceeds production. That means we have to import it from the Middle East, Russia, Mexico, Canada, and Venezuela. None of these countries have any problem drilling THEIR oil and selling it to us, shouldn’t we drill for our own?
…worldwide consumption is also rising
3) The law of supply and demand is simple. When demand rises faster than supply, the price goes up. When supply rises faster than demand, the price goes down. The answer to lower gas prices is more supply. NOT taxing the companies that get the oil from the desert to my car.
4) Speculators are driving the cost of oil up, but only because it is a safe bet that oil prices will rise. “Speculators” buy an oil contract for 5 years from now. What they purchase sets the price. If the price went down, these investors would get creamed. If the U.S. quickly opened the way to new drilling in the continental shelf and A.N.W.R. the traders would be forced to bet on lower prices and other oil producers would have more competition. A commitment to new drilling could reduce prices in the next few months. By the way, who are these EVIL speculators…pension funds. (pass too tight a law against speculators and pensions could decline quick)
5) The last Nuclear power plant built in the US was is 1977. Yet Nuclear power still provides 19% of our electricity. Not building more plants has increased the cost of electricity dramatically. (France gets nearly 80% of their power from nuclear.) It currently takes longer to get a permit to build a nuclear power plant than it takes to build one.
6) Renewable energy is a future technology, not a “now” technology. Right now renewable energy accounts for just 9.5% of US electricity production compared to nearly 50% for coal, 20% for nuclear and 20% for natural gas. That is a huge gap that renewable would need to fill.
7) Wind is the only alternative energy source that is even remotely cost effective. Even Nuclear doesn’t compare to coal or natural gas. The reality is that carbon based energy is here to stay OR we cannot COMPETE in a global economy.
Cost Per Kilowatt Hour (cents)
| Low | High | Avg | |
| Natural Gas | 3.9 | 4.4 | 4.15 |
| Coal | 4.8 | 5.5 | 5.15 |
| Nuclear | 11.1 | 14.15 | 12.625 |
| Wind | 4 | 6 | 5 |
| GeoThermal | 4.5 | 30 | 17.25 |
| Hydro | 5.1 | 11.3 | 8.2 |
| Solar | 15 | 30 | 22.5 |
Plus..no one really knows what harnessing wind power will do to weather patterns and climate. A few wind farms here and there would have no impact. Enough to generate 50% of US energy demand, might cause some problems. Ted Kennedy doesn’t even want a wind farm where he boats….
8) Natural Gas production has also been completely flat or on a down trend despite increasing energy demand. This is thought of as the cleanest fossil fuel, but the ban on coastal drilling has kept much of US natural gas stocks in the ground instead of the pipeline.
9) Environmentalists are FOR high energy prices to encourage conservation. They are willing to pay MUCH more for environmental and supposed “health” benefits. Despite fossil fuels being the only economical option to power the US for the next 20 years. (or more) Harry Reid, leader of the Democrats in the Senate actually said “coal makes us sick” … “oil makes us sick”. While true if you live on top of a power plant; there is no widespread sickness sweeping the world. In fact life expectancy in the U.S. remains over 70 and rising.
10) When the cost of energy goes up, the price of EVERYTHING goes up. Can you afford $7 gas or $5 milk? I can’t. In fact, energy costs and taxes are the two fastest way to cause inflation so that your money isn’t worth as much. If gasoline, electricity, and natural gas costs continue to rise, then our economy will be in real trouble. But if we get out of our own way and take advantage of U.S. energy resources then we can be wealthy enough to clean up after ourselves. High energy prices means high food prices and inflation, that hurts everyone.
Sign the petition for Drill Here Drill Now and make sure Obama AND McCain are talking about new energy production immediately not some dream of alternatives that just aren’t ready yet. McCain is talking about Nuclear and some drilling but not enough. Obama is all alternatives, conservation, and wishing that the price of gas had just risen slower.
If you are not for more energy production, then you are FOR higher energy costs. So if we can’t drill? How do you generate more energy…or are you going to pass a law mandating that we can’t keep our thermostats at 72 degrees. If you are pro conservation, then start talking about rationing electricity and gasoline.

Obama says...We cant keep out homes at 72 degrees
For anyone who doesn't know anything about Barack Obama yet. Please read this quote and watch this video.
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and whether we're living in the desert or if we are living in the tundra and then just expect that every other country is going to say ok you guys go ahead and keep on using 25 % of the world's energy even though you only account for 3% of the population and we'll be fine, don't worry about us." (View Obama's quote on youtube)
Why not? There is no energy shortage. There is no such thing as 25% of the world's energy. There is 25% of the worlds energy production but why can't we just produce more energy. Because globalists like Barack Obama will not allow the U.S. to drill for oil, build nuclear power plants, build refineries, build coal power plants or create energy in any efficient manner.
THE ISSUE IS NOT THE PRICE OF GASOLINE, THE ISSUE IS THE COST OF ENERGY.
I drive and SUV because that is how much room I need to get to my in laws and to get to camp. My wife turns the heat up to 72 degrees when she is cold. Find some other way to save the planet but I am not changing either....and I dont feel bad about it at all.
