Sending Donnelly Home to Bonanza

(Video re-uploaded replacing corrupted file)
Joe Donnelly, the Liberal Democrat from South Bend, nearby Chicago and Obama's home, has repeatedly made claims that he is "moderate" or "middle of the road" Democrat. The problem with that statement is that it isn't true.

And in one way, we can understand that because when the question of the Constitution came up, he said he leaves that to the experts. The problem is, he took an oath to defend and preserve it. To abide by it, and yet he votes for bills that are not covered under the the provisions of the Constitution. The problem with the Constitution isn't it, the problem is Joe Donnelly.

When asked how he would vote on Obamacare in relation to abortion he claims he consistently opposed abortion and government funded abortion. And yet, he voted for it.

Donnelly voted for Obamacare, when even his constituents knew it was a death knell for Medicare, and healthcare in general, plus a huge deficit problem. But he still voted for it.

Donnelly denies Obamacare will pay for healthcare for illegal aliens, even though his constituents knew it would. He was wrong, and still voted for it anyway.

Donnelly Denies Healthcare for Illegal Aliens, then Votes for it

Donnelly claimed you could keep your heathcare plan, but you can't. And even so, he voted for Obamacare. In effect,  he gave your healthcare plan to Obama and the government.

Joe Donnelly has been supporting government funding of wind energy from taxpayer money, an un-Constitutional use. Taking taxes to promote a business is not included in the powers granted in the Constitution. And does he have any clue about whether it is a good idea? No.

And Joe Donnelly fully approved the Stimulus bill, of which funding nonsense like the City Bus windmills in Lafayette. Sure, one might think they were neat and cool, but will they every pay off like he promised? No. Not ever. Donnelly wasted more money on this one small (by comparison to the enormous size of the entire Stimulus bill)....more that the amount he claims Mourdock "wasted" defending over 200 year of contract law, teachers and police pensions, and stability of the bond markets. The thing is, you are not wasting anything defending what is right, but you sure can on things not Constitutional.

A fortune Blown away, DC Donnelly Wind Machine II

The truth is that Joe Donnelly says one thing in Indiana, giving a far different impression that the actual voting he does in Washington DC where he follows the Pelosi, Reid, and Obama mantra line for line.

Sure, there is more. But at this point can't we at least ask Joe Donnelly to do the one thing he said he wanted to do? Yes, he wants to go home and watch Bonanza. From what we have seen above, that might be the only thing he can get right. So let's help Joe Donnelly and send him home to watch Bonanza!!! Vote Richard Mourdock and retire Joe Donnelly.

Listen to Joe himself express his desire for just that: (WMV videos don't play on iPhone)

Joe Donnelly gave your Health Care Plan to Obama

Well, yes he did.

But what did he say he would do? We will get to that. But I know I searched for a good company to work for, with good benefits, and decent pay. A lot of people do that. And they also prepare for that job by getting a good education, investing in their future with all the "right moves". Oh, that has gotten tougher because of the high tuition prices. But with all that hard work, where have we ended up now?

Well again, Joe Donnelly's constituents know more that he does on virtually any subject. And this one is no different.

My Way or the Highway

Because of several references to posts on this blog on twitter, some time will be spent on some topics recently found there.

And perhaps the most recent are the tweets on who in the Indiana Senate race is, and is not able to work with and compromise with the “other side” of the aisle.

For instance, here is a tweet by @mattcantor:

If we correctly understand the background behind this challenge we can then see how it could be true. The background in question is just what is the nature of the Democrats in Congress?

Donnelly's Abortion Windvane

Most of us have heard at least some of the discussion of "Women's Health Services" [i.e. Abortion etc] in Obamacare. So what does Joe Donnelly have for a position on the topic? As we will see, no one can be sure.

First we must note that Joe Donnelly is a Catholic and graduated from Notre Dame (a Catholic University). And of course, the Catholic Church adamantly opposes abortion, as do Christian denominations in general.

But what does Joe Donnelly think, say, and do so far as abortion goes?

Joe Donnelly says:

1. In keeping with my personal faith and family values, I have consistently opposed abortion and will continue to do so in Congress. I believe that being pro-life means promoting life at every stage, from conception until natural death. I will always vote according to my faith and my conscience on life issues.

and Joe Donnelly "sided" with some other Democrats on a deal to vote for Obamacare, as we know it, given there was to be an Executive order by President Obama:

Donnelly Denies Healthcare for Illegal Aliens, then Votes for it

Joe Donnelly just doesn't seem to get it. His constituents aren't fooled anymore. When a constituent complains of Obamacare using his tax money to fund Health care for illegal aliens, Joe Donnelly says it is not in there.

And the chorus from the group of constituents says he is wrong.

So who is right? Joe Donnelly, who voted for it? Or his constituents who he works for?
 Is Joe Donnelly lying? Is he waffling? OR is he just not as smart and informed as his constituents?

Donnelly Doublespeaks on Obamacare and Medicare

Ole Joe has been a Representative for nearly six years now, and as we shall see, no more trustworthy now than at the beginning. The Doublespeak goes on.

Take for instance this question from a large crowd at Kokomo, a heavily Union crowd asking stern questions of an errant Representative. One person asks how will Obamacare be paid for. Donnelly responds that it is a "precondition" that Obamacare be "deficit-neutral".

And yet, Obamacare has a huge deficit problem. Worse yet, as we are going broke with overspending, and at a time when the economy is flagging, jobs are hard to find and pay less and less, Obama care is killing business and already pushing up the deficit with projected costs much higher than we were first told. In fact, Joe Donnelly told us it would be deficit-neutral.
