Interesting. Sunstein gets a vote while Dawn Johnsen continues to swing in the breeze.
Would the message be don't mess with the picks Obama really wants?

DO NOT VOTE FOR NOMINATION OF CAS SUNSTEIN AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE OFFICE OF INFORMATION AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS, OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET. APPEARS TO BE NICE FELLA BUT VIEWS AND THOUGHTS VERY VERY RADICAL AND WILL CAUSE UNMEASUREABLE HARM AND EXPENSE TO THE PEOPLE OF THESE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Why was the 3 senators Hold on this vote denied? Perhaps the Administration is good at putting on a great show while the real work is done behind the scenes?

Obama is creating his own command and control center in the White House. From there he can ensure that each of us is under his thumb by manipulating every aspect of our lives.
DOWN WITH THE CZARS NOW!

If these idiot Senators on either side of the aisle confirm Sunstein they should all be impreached1

Cass Sunstein, the new Adminstrator of the Office of information and Regulatory Affairs will hold the power in his hands to change the United States. I fear Mr. Sunstein with great pleasure will sneakily freeze operations that will provide Americans with eating meat. His regulations on farmers will be so out of sight they will be unable to make profits. We, Americans will suffer the consequences. That is only the beginning. He is not a loose cannon like Van Jones; would that Mr. Sustein were.

We are being destroyed and dismantled bit by bit. Thank God for voices like Glenn Beck, Hannity and Rush…

Anyone have the list of Republican senators that voted with the dems to end cloture. I figure that the Maine senators voted yes, but who else?

looks like chambliss did, after his comments on fox. I sent money for him, no more. We should targe a boycott at industries from states with these cowards, maybe they wil then take notice if we make their big donors hurt.

I just want a list of Senators that need to go 1st. Maine senators need to go. Snow and Collins vote Dem every chance they get. Who is suppose to be mashalling this idiots. My God they can't get them to vote against a guy that thinks animals should have lawyers? I mean really…..I am so sick of them all. They all need to go, but some should go 1st.

LOL! Yes, they should talk more and more and more and more. PLEASE! Because the more they do the more people think these folks are just patently crazy and to be ignored.
Listening to all the emo whining of these clods make me wish they really did have death panels, for idiots.

In 1944, Norman Thomas, a six time Socialist party candidate, said “”under the name of liberalism Americans will adopt every fragment the Socialism program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation”. This guy Sustein embodies every bit of the master plan Obama has for America. He is smart, and appears on the surface to not be particularly political, but he is a scary individual who is at the very left fringe of progressive liberalism. He will slowly chip away the our Second Amendment rights in small pieces over time until there is none of it left. He has to be stopped before the erosion starts, if fact this whole Regulatory CZAR office has to be eliminated.

Yes this guy is obviously the Anti-Christ. He is undoubtedly behind the fluoridation of your water. He is going to ban people from being able to worship Jesus. He is going to require all of you to become homosexuals, even if you don't like it. He will force your children to be sold as part of the food supply. He will suspend NASCAR and WWE wrestling. He will make your children do something unthinkable, like finish 6 years of elementary education. He will force stupid people to be forcibly sterilized, so most of you are in imminent danger.
Glen Beck must save us! Only his keen insight and alcoholic disheveled rants can pull us from the gaping jaws of the anti-christ!

Hey Mason – It's sad that you can't see your liberties being stripped away.. Do you like big gov't?
I bet the Germans didn't want to see it coming either. Wake up and smell the socialism! Or maybe it's facism..

Maybe;
absurdism
alarmism
alcoholism
antiliberalism
autoerotism
botulism
divisionism
maybe you need an exocism? What other “isms” can we flout that are as meaningless and as inappropriate to the topic at hands? Lets search, or does Glen your boyfriend have to spoon feed them to you before you're allowed to used them>

Since he's smarter than you he'll probably get a better lawyer.

My female dog will not be getting a lawyer . This is what Cass Sunstein advocates.
Animals should have access to legal representation
Hunting should be banned
Compares animal use to slavery
Proponent of extensive regulation of animal husbandry
Opposed to using animals in scientific research
Wonder when Obama will QUIT eating his Kobe beef.

Poor Glen Beck – He will have to find a new target for his rage – He should spend time finding new sponsors = 67 now gone.
Maybe Sunstein can create a regulation to ban idiots from cable TV.

For all of you obviously Far Right people ranting about Obama, Socialism and Czars – Hello——- but the term Czar has been used in several Republican administrations like Reagan, Ford, Bush,Bush,Bush.Guess the term Czar is only Socialist when a Democrat is president. Do your research and don't take everything you hear on Fox as the truth.

This is why people like Glenn Beck…The First Amendment doesn't belong to you to decide what or who, especially if they have diferent views. I hope each and every one of these people (Czars) are exposed for who and what they reallyare, ad as for you…I hope you go down with them. Then justice will be served for All Americans.

We now know you are articulate…but, obviously you have no common sense.

Well, I do enjoy my “isms” with a bit of milk… Listen, I think one of the problems is that we end up attacking each other over these issues and forget we all are Americans… I think both sides of the issues can get a bit carried away… For me, all I want is less gov't and keep my freedoms.. THat I would bet most all of us would agree on…
Comment posted September 10, 2009 @ 10:50 am
Actually, I think it is inappropriate no matter Rep. or Dem. President using them because it allows them to circumvent the system. And I think the reason people are a bit alarmed is because Obama has far more than any Pres. has had and some of which have some wild ideas that most are not used to hearing. We need to remember that we are not fighting each other here. We just want to see less Gov't and more freedom. That's all… We all want cheaper health care and we all want to see everyone covered. Allow the free market to open up – re: being able to purchase state to state for insurance and get some good tort reform and that will dramatically lower costs… Frome there eliminate the Billions of $$ of waste and corruption in medicare and we can then help far more people. We are all Americans and I think for the most part, want to see our neighbors prosper as we prosper…. Let us not lose sight to what makes us great. Let usnot bicker among each other but look at the issues together and find real honest solutions that we are all comfortable with. And lets stop the anme calling on both sides. I am a conservative independent and I will defend the right of those I may not agree with to speak their minds. We all should be willing to do that but, lets not fight withing ourselves. We want reform, but again, for me I just would like it to come without growing the gov't. :)

Let’s see how you feel when the Republican House removes all regulations from businesses including those who polute the air you breathe and the water you drink. Let’s see how you feel when your job is sent to China and you send out hundreds of resumes and find no work other then minimum wage. And then all unemployment is reduced, all assistance for the uninsured is removed. Let’s see how you like Fox and Glen Beck when you are one of those who are seriously impacted by the cuts to all programs and lowering taxes for the wealthiest. I am among those in the highest income brackets and I laugh at people like you. You keep voting for people who say anything to get your vote and then do everything they can to make us richer and easier for us to do whatever we want with our businesses. So – thanks for giving me an extended tax cut and if the market is unregulated I will make even more money – I will use it to keep buying politicians who will keep me in money and let the middle and lower class income people pay for it. So hey, keep on watching Fox and pleaseeeeeeeeeee believe every single thing that any of them tell you.
