Most Ethical Congress

Posted by Defend America on Tuesday, August 05, 2008 10:07:33 PM
I should have posted this when it came out, but here it goes. The Young America's Foundation spokesman,  Jason Mattera, asks Representative William "Cold Cash" Jefferson of Louisiana asks how to hide 90,000 dollars of cash. Many of you know that Rep. William Jefferson was arrested for many things involving bribery and for the purpose of this discussion hiding 90,000 dollars of cash in his freezer. As Republicans in the House have been protesting about Nancy Pelosi's decision to adjourn instead of dealing with America's energy crisis, this video will make you just as happy as what the Republicans are doing now. This is disgusting that William Jefferson did not decide to resign, but as the trial starts this September, hopefully justice will be served. The most ethical congress, yea right.

Here is the video:

Pelosi: At-risk Dems back drilling

By MARTIN KADY II & PATRICK O'CONNOR | 8/5/08 4:49 AM EST


California Democrat Nancy Pelosi may be trying to save the planet — but the rank and file in her party increasingly are just trying to save their political hides when it comes to gas prices as Republicans apply more and more rhetorical muscle.

But what looks like intraparty tension on the surface is part of an intentional strategy in which Pelosi takes the heat on energy policy, while behind the scenes she’s encouraging vulnerable Democrats to express their independence if it helps them politically, according to Democratic aides on and off Capitol Hill.

Pelosi’s gambit rests on one big assumption: that Democrats will own Washington after the election and will be able to craft a sweeping energy policy that is heavy on conservation and fuel alternatives while allowing for some new oil drilling. Democrats see no need to make major concessions on energy policy with a party poised to lose seats in both chambers in just three months — even if recess-averse Republicans continue to pound away on the issue.

So Really Diplomacy with Iran Does not Work? I'm Shocked

US: Iranian response on nukes unacceptable
Aug 5 02:22 PM US/Eastern
By MATTHEW LEE
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Iran's response to an incentives package aimed at defusing a dispute over its nuclear program is unacceptable, U.S. officials said Tuesday, making the prospects of new sanctions against the country more likely.

The officials told The Associated Press that a brief one-page document Iran presented to European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana is not, as had been sought, a definitive reply to the offer from major world powers to suspend uranium enrichment and reprocessing in exchange for economic and other benefits.

So what did the United States and the rest of EU expect from Iran. Diplomacy does not work with countries who don't want it to work. As much as you wish and hope that the party in question might have changed their minds it is not so easy to do that. The United States thought along with the EU that economic incentives were more important to Iran than their nuclear program, well by this statement clearly their nuclear program is more important to them. So what now? More talking with the terrorist backed regime? Nobody knows what to do next, but one thing that hopefully the United States learned is that talking aggressive diplomacy  with a country that has no desire to listen and change is hopeless. Senator Obama claims that President Bush failed in dealing with Iran and not pursuing aggressive diplomacy, well Mr. Obama I ask you what would you have done for change. Well, we probably know one thing if you were elected president you would sit down personally with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. So really diplomacy with Iran does not work? I'm shocked.

White House says no to special session of Congress
By Jackie Kucinich and Jared Allen
Posted: 08/04/08 01:32 PM [ET]

The White House has rejected calls from House Republicans that it convene a special session of Congress on energy, saying it wouldn’t make a difference.

“We don't have plans to call Congress into session -- it won't make a difference if Democratic leaders are unwilling to bring up a bill for an up-down vote,” said White House spokesman Tony Fratto.

He is wrong because it will make a difference even if it might just be a political move. If President Bush would have called Democrats back to Congress to debate and Nancy Pelosi does move to adjourn again, there is no doubt in my mind that the picture of her deciding to adjourn with all her Democratic friends will force voters to reconsider which party really wants to solve America's energy crisis. Of course Nancy Pelosi will not allow a vote, but it will great to see the Democrats actually abandon again without solving America's energy crisis. President Bush today showed that he is officially a lame duck president.

ELECTION 2008
Palestinians donate $29,500 to Obama
Gazan brothers' illegal contributions listed in government election filings

JERUSALEM – Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.

The donations would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving donations from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told WND in response to a query.

The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign's lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions.
