Week Ending March 14, 2008 - Washington, DC
NEW MARCH CHAIRMAN'S REPORTS AVAILABLE - The March 5, 2008 Chairman's Report from William J. Murray is now available online in PDF version. The Chairman's Report contains some material not seen in these updates. Read here!
THE PRESIDENT
BUSH JUST WILL NOT HELP IRAQ'S CHRISTIANS - The murder in Mosul, Iraq of Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho is on the hands of President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Their refusal to assist the persecuted Christians in Iraq has emboldened Islamists to pillage, rape and murder them. Had the Bush Administration been proactive, the archbishop's life could have been spared. The Administration will not even allow Christians in Iraq to form a police force, while giving Islamist extremists such as Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr the right to maintain small armies. The White House did not even condemn the kidnapping and Coalition forces in Iraq treated it as a "criminal affair" even though the demand of the kidnappers was for Christians to attack American forces. Shame on us for destroying the church in Iraq. READ THIS NEWSMAX STORY NOW!
KARL ROVE'S "M & M" TICKET - Former Bush sidekick Karl Rove is daily pushing his McCain and Mitt ticket, almost as if he were being paid big bucks as a Mitt Romney promoter. Karl Rove claims to be an evangelical and should understand the dynamics working against Romney. As a Washington insider he knows full well that Mitt Romney will further weaken the already shaky support of evangelicals for McCain. They will be driven away in mass from the Republican ticket, yet he persists in pushing Romney for the number two slot. A large coalition of Christian evangelicals is forming to stop the Romney for VP train. Paid advertising has already been reserved for a media campaign to expose Romney's left leaning background.
A PASTOR TOO FAR - All of a sudden conservative radio and TV talk show hosts have obtained videos of Barack Obama's long time pastor preaching that the US government invented AIDS to kill black people. Dr. Wright is also shown proclaiming that God should damn America and that this nation was responsible for the 911 Jihad attack against it. Just about every bad thing in the world, according to him, is the fault of "rich white people." Hmmm. I wonder who could have secretly recorded these racist tirades? Could Hillary want to win so badly that she had this vicious material from Obama's church delivered to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh? Click here for more information.
THE HOUSE
NO SPY BILL - Billionaires who are involved in the transfers of hundreds of millions of dollars internationally are the primary backers of the Democrat party. These men, including extremist billionaire George Soros do not want the government to have the ability to eaves drop on international communications. The president says he needs the authority to stop terrorists, but the Democrat controlled House is resistant because their billionaire buddies' international transactions, which may be illegal, could also be traced. Speaker Nancy Pelosi also wants these billionaires to have the right to sue any telecom company that gives the government information that could put them in jail. It does not seem to matter to Pelosi that protecting her billionaire buddies gives terrorists the opportunity to get past our intelligence services and attack American targets.
NOT MUCH HERE - Radical leftist Speaker Pelosi has turned the House into a platform of political attacks for election year and not much is getting done. There have been over 70 votes on pulling our troops out of Iraq. Each votes requires debate, taking huge amounts of time. She now plans a variety of hearings she hopes will assist the Democrats in winning elections in November. The Republicans demanded a secret session of Congress in hopes something could get done if the media spotlight was off of Pelosi.
CONGRESS SHUTS DOWN TODAY - Not that it makes much of a difference, but the House will recess at the end of business today for two weeks. Not much of anything is being accomplished. Thankfully the recess will begin before Nancy Pelosi has the chance for a vote on her proposed $600 billion dollar tax hike.
THE SENATE
MORE SCHIP MISCHIEF - The Senate rejected an amendment by Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) that would have given medical coverage to uninsured children from conception to age 19. The Allard amendment failed by a vote of 46-52.
The personhood of the unborn would have been recognized, which caused the Democrats to vote against it. Democrats in the Senate do not consider an unborn child to be a person. Instead, they passed an amendment by Barbara Boxer that defines ALL pregnant women as children so they can receive the free medical coverage in SCHIP from the government. See Right to Life statement
SENATE RAISES TAXES - Senator Reid and his Democrat Senate continued the march to the far left with more than just social issues. While abandoning the pro-life issues such as the Allard amendment to SCHIP, Reid continued on to knock most of the Bush tax cuts out of the budget. The result will be the largest single tax hike in American history. The Democrats plan to use the money to "take care" of us and give us the "things needed." Read an op-ed on this.
SENATE RECESS - The Senate has been involved in a "vote-o-rama" for the last 48 hours preparing for a two week Easter recess.
RELIGION AND CULTURE
ONE IN FOUR TEENS HAVE STD- At least one in four American teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease (STD) according to a new study. Half of the black teens had at least one STD. Whites and Mexican-American teens had an infection rate of 20% said the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Read more.
MONEY IS THEIR GOD - Would someone give a terrorist on his way to blow up a jetliner a fake ID in return for buying an overpriced car? In Ohio, car dealerships gave illegal aliens fake ID's to register the overpriced vehicles they were selling to them. The dealers were busted and are headed to jail, but what about the big multi-national corporations that sell our technology to our enemies and assist Islamic extremists in buying up our banks? When the sell out is for enough bucks it appears that even the authorities look in a different direction.
INTERNATIONAL
ARCHBISHOP MURDERED - The ransom demand for Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was $3 million in cash and the promise that Chaldean Christians would attack certain Coalition targets and kill Americans. It was clear from the start that the archbishop was kidnapped by Islamic forces fighting the Coalition in Iraq, yet the Coalition did virtually nothing to find the Bishop. President Bush did not even make a public statement on his kidnapping despite the pleas of Pope Benedict. This was a dark moment in American history. Why will our government not allow Christians to have a police or militia in Iraq? We give the Muslims that right. Why are Christians not allowed to defend themselves?
