Rep. David Wu (D-OR) aka Tigerman to Resign Amid Sex Scandal

This was out on the net a couple days ago and I know you have seen him,...this is the Oregon Democrat who has some realism and identity problems not to mention being a pervert.

Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.) announced Tuesday he will resign from Congress following accusations he had unwanted sexual contact with a teenage girl. "I cannot care for my family the way I wish while serving in Congress and fighting these very serious allegations," Wu said in a statement.

Wu claims the incident with the daughter of a longtime friend and donor--who is now 18 years old--was consensual, and said he will continue to serve until the resolution of the debt ceiling battle.

Wu for months faced intense pressure back home to resign following reports of his erratic behavior. Prior to today's announcement, he tried to deflect such pressure by stressing that he was undergoing mental health treatment. On Friday, Wu's problems deepened when The Oregonian reported on the allegations over the unwanted sexual encounter.

House Democrats on Sunday called for an ethics investigation into the incident, increasing the public pressure on the seven term congressman to leave office. Wu at first indicated he would simply retire in 2012, and would not resign.

Wu disclosed in July 2010 that he had stopped drinking. He was legally separated from his wife the following month. This past February, the congressman admitted to receiving mental health treatment following reports of his bizarre behavior.

Due to Wu's perceived vulnerability, a competitive 2012 race had already been taking shape in his 1st District. State labor commissioner Brad Avakian began campaigning for the seat in April and has been joined by state Rep. Brad Witt for the Democratic nomination. The seat overall leans Democratic.

Even though another Democrat (Spendocrat) will most likely be elected for Wu's vacant seat, it is good news is that there is one less buddy of Barney Frank's in Congress. Can't you just see Tigerman Wu standing next to Barney Frank in a Winnie the Pooh costume?

Star Parker on Congressman Allen West (R-FL)

You need to read the article on Townhall, by Star Parker. Her article stems from the event where Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), also Democratic National Committee chair, suggested that the nasty email she got from Congressman Allen West (R-FL), responding to her attack on him in the House, resulted from him being “under pressure.”

Of course, Allen West is under pressure. As is every freedom loving American, as we watch our great country sink.

Cowboy's comment: Does anyone really think LTC (ret) Allen West, who fought terrorists and insurgents in the streets and fields of Iraq, feels pressured from an idiot like Wasserman Schultz?

In two and a half years, a left wing Democrat president along with a left wing Democrat congress, controlled by the likes of Ms Wasserman Schultz, have changed this country so fundamentally it is not clear at all to what extent we can recover.

In just two and half years, they’ve increased federal spending a trillion dollars. It took George W. Bush, the largest spender since President Johnson, eight years to accomplish this.

The national debt stood at $10.6 trillion when Barack Obama became president. Now, two and a half years later, it’s at $14.3 trillion. A forty percent increase.

Allen West, who were elected in the 2010 electoral backlash, are trying to do something to save our future. One is the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill that the House just passed, which was the focus of Wasserman Schultz’s attack on West.

Wasserman Schultz got on West for supporting this bill, calling this a platform for cutting Medicare for the seniors in his district.

Let’s get things straight.

The threat to seniors is Obamacare.

It cuts $500 billion out of Medicare to pay for its new socialized medicine regime.

We have turned our lives, health, and pocketbooks over to the same humble geniuses who told us that $850 billion in stimulus spending would create 4 million jobs and prevent unemployment from going over 8 percent.

Today one and half million fewer Americans are working than when Barack Obama became president and unemployment stands at 9.2 percent.

West explained the vitriol of the left toward him, one of two black Republicans in the House, as stemming from his “being the guy that got off their 21st century plantation.”

Cowboy's comment: This man should be our President. Anyone for a straight Florida ticket of West-Rubio for 2012? Together they have more common sense and honor than all the King's (Obama) Men (his cabinet and czars) put together.

Little Johnny's Economic Lesson

The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.

Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good," said the teacher.

Little Mary was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events." "Very good, Mary" said the teacher Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said.

"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?"

"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.

"Toothbrushes!" echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"

"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny. "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and gave everybody who walked by a free sample. " They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog crap!" Then I would say, "It is dog crap. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

"I used the Obama approach of giving you something shitty for free, and then making you pay to get the taste out of your mouth."
