<p>President Obama got his Christmas gift. Just 11 months into his Presidency he got health care reform passed. What&#8217;s odd about this is first of all the damn bill is nothing what it was like originally, and secondly I can find more then a few unethical practices that the Harry Reid used to get the votes needed, practices that will ultimately end in the Supreme Court deciding whether or not this bill goes against the constitution.</p>
<p>People Universal healthcare is here and too bad it&#8217;s gonna cost us, as well as the Democratic Party.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">In a surprising move of events, well surprising for some, N.Y senators have said no to gay marriage. The measure to legalize gay marriage fell short of the 12 votes needed to pass.</p>
<p>Of course there&#8217;s always going to be a spin on this but let me just put this out there. Just like California which voted it down thanks to the heavy black population, N.Y has a heavy concentration of blacks, Jamaicans and hispanics, most of which do not want sodomites walking their streets in full view of their kids.</p>
<p>At least you guys still have civil unions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://nortonrelease.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/jesse-jackson.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-244" title="jesse-jackson" src="http://nortonrelease.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/jesse-jackson-209x300.jpg" alt="jesse-jackson" width="209" height="300" /></a>I&#8217;ve heard Jesse Jackson say some dumb ass things in his life, but out of all of the things this human latrine spits out, this is the worse. According to Jackson last Wednesday, speaking about  Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) who is currently running for Alabama&#8217;s governor and voted against the house&#8217;s healthcare bill, you can&#8217;t call yourself black and vote no on healthcare.</p>
<blockquote><p>“We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Wow Mr. Jackson, real bright. I guess all black conservatives are Uncle Toms? At least Davis response was a lot more gracious reffering to Jackson&#8217;s 1988 presidential bid as a reason not to engage the black civil rights leader.</p>
<blockquote><p>“One of the reasons that I like and admire Rev. Jesse Jackson is that 21 years ago he inspired the idea that a black politician would not be judged simply as a black leader,” Davis’s statement said. “The best way to honor Rev. Jackson’s legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race.”</p></blockquote>
<p>So there you have it, I guess I can no longer identify with the black race&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: left; ">I just realized that I forgot to cover one of the ost important issues about Tuesday&#8217;s elections. Although I covered the <a title="VA &amp; NJ governor race" href="http://nortonrelease.com/11/04/2009/va-and-nj-2009-election-results-and-opinions/">Virginia and NJ gubernatorial elections</a> as well as Maine&#8217;s <a title="Maine rejects gay marriage" href="http://nortonrelease.com/11/04/2009/voters-in-maine-say-no-to-gay-marriage/">rejection of a gay marriage</a> bill, I fouled on coverage about NY mainly District 23 and NYC mayor.</p>
<p>For those who are wondering, conservatism did not loose. There is a reason why Hoffman lost and it has nothing to do with the fact that he was conservative. As to why Bloomberg won by such a close margin, there is a reason for that also.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Dede Scozzafava was still on the ticket</strong>. Check the election results and you will see that she got about 5.5% of the votes. Had her name been completely off the ticket or NY laws allowed a runoff, Hoffman would have easily won with at least a 2-3% margin. The only reason Owens won was because a few of Scozzafava&#8217;s supporters jumped ship with her. Winning by a 2-3% margin isn&#8217;t big Owens, and remember, you&#8217;ll have to answer for your crimes in the mid term elections next year.</li>
<li><strong>Bloomberg is a RINO</strong>. Anyone who has any idea what Bloomberg is about will agree with me that Bloomberg is more liberal then John McCain. So don&#8217;t come to me with the crap that New Yorkers hate fiscal conservatives. Heck, half the city is going down the grain and Bloomberg is to ashamed to associate himself with the GOP. So I couldn&#8217;t give a damn if he lost or won because he is anything but Giuliani (not saying that Giuliani is a true conservative, but better then Bloomberg).</li>
<li><strong>Those were not big elections</strong>. Yeah, Palin, Beck, Limbaugh and others campaigned for Hoffman, and he lost. But what about Obama who campaigned for Corzine and Deeds. Looks like Limbaugh, Palin, Beck and Hannity have more wins under their belt for Tuesday then our dear Mr. President. And secondly, which are the more important areas? Hoffman will get another chance in less then a year, Can&#8217;t say the same thing for any democrats who have their eyes on the governorship in NJ or VA.</li>
</ol>

More importantly,it says something about the President&#8217;s political capital. Remember it was this same Obama who was campaigning for both Corzine and Deeds up to a week ago urging voters to keep them in power and send a strong message that this is a referendum.</p>
<p>So if that&#8217;s the case, how come Gibbs is now telling the press that the President &#8220;isn&#8217;t watching returns.&#8221; If the elections were not so important then why the hell was he campaigning for them. This guy makes not one bit of bloody sense. I will agree that this was not a personal message to Obama, on the other hand it was a message to his policies and party who has been running this country like a banana republic since January.</p>
<p>And while we can dispute that Virginia was a no brainer, there is no disputing that NJ which is one of reddest states in the Union was an example of what happens when political leaders fail to deliver the change they promise.</p>
<p>But fear not my liberal allies, this is the never ending game of politics. More then naturally the GOP will gain control of both houses in 2010 and then they will become just as corrupt as you are and guess who the voters will elect again? Yep you guessed it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://nortonrelease.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/aria-jelena.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-153" title="aria-jelena" src="http://nortonrelease.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/aria-jelena.jpg" alt="aria-jelena" width="605" height="311" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So the masses have voted, and the message is clear, 53% of Maine residents would rather not have gays and lesbians called &#8216;married couples.&#8217; For those not keeping up with the gay marriage debate here in the US of A, this gives the gay marriage movement the 31st consecutive defeat in which the popular vote decided whether it should become law or not.</p>
<p>I think this should say something about the climate of the U.S in terms of the homosexuality agenda as every time the people have gotten the chance to decide, they have voted a resounding no. And if you must know, I am one of those who believe that marriage should between a man and a woman and not between Rosie O&#8217;Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres.</p>
<p>This has nothing to do with discrimination, all we the people (and by that I mean the majority) are saying is we&#8217;re fine with gays and lesbians having civil unions and getting whatever benefits they feel they are entitled to, but we are not fine with teaching our children that Bob and Steve are married and thus a regular couple like John and Mary.</p>
<p>And its quite ironic that the same people who are currently saying that this is an infringement on personal rights are the same persons who if the popular vote had decided it was OK would be lauding it as a milestone in the homosexuality debate. Well guess what it&#8217;s not so if you must marry I suggest moving to a state that allows it or maybe packing up ship and moving to a country like Canada.</p>
