Northwest Indiana Discussion

My goodness......

That must mean that bin Obama and Senator Dodd are "incompetent crooks" for making sure that the AIG executives got their bonuses......

Too bad little hedge doesn't understand the legal system and he can't grasp the fact that it won't stand up in court. The bonuses will be paid.

What? You don't think people are angry about this? Sure they are. However it does undermine the constitution you know.

Now watch what they do to the small business owner since they now have the authorty to wave their little tax wand at their slightest whim...

I suppose you don't even want to address the fact THAT THIS TYPE OF TAXATION IS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION...

Take a hike edge...

Rush is right....Obama is an idiot.

No, you & the drug addict gas bag are wrong.

Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution, which states:

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States"
You & Rush can take a hike now.

What's next on your list of current events that are important to you edge?

Shopping for Easter clothes with the Obamas?

they're closet muslimes....but I gather they'll put on a show for you...

what an idiot...

So much for staying uniform.

Poor hedge.....

I just love showing how "ignorant and somplmided" he is.....


Congress Invites Court Challenge With AIG Taxation Plan, Lawyers Say
Legal scholars warn that Congress could have a tough time defending itself in court if it tries to tax away the AIG bonuses.

But legal scholars say Congress will have a tough time defending itself in court if it goes down that road.

Not only would Congress be retroactively meddling with contractual agreements, they say, but it would be passing laws that would essentially target a specific group of employees.

Two of those difficulties, lawyers say, lie in Article I of the U.S. Constitution -- a section stating Congress cannot pass any "Bill of Attainder" or "ex post facto" law.

A Bill of Attainder is an act of the legislature that singles out and punishes a group or individual without trial. An ex post facto law retroactively changes the legal consequences of an act.

"It's a Bill of Attainder. It can't be done," Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., told FOX News when asked about proposals in the Senate to tax AIG.

Speaking of which; after visiting several churches they still have not made up their mind yet on one and don't expect to find one in time for Easter. Decisions, decisions.

targeting a specific group of people?....try again...

LMAO....


Hedge has been proven wrong every time he opens his piehole.
He doesn't even know the AIG executives got the bonuses from his Messiah and his lttle boy Dodd and now he claims to think he knows how bin Obama and his gang of thugs can steal the money back......

The whole thing just cracks me up.

I love this game.

He knows. That when the ....meanwhile....comes in.

Yeah I'm sure that defending, excusing, & rationalizing of the AIG bonuses by the conservative right will really, really go over real big with voters.
Stick with Rush...please.

And good luck with that.

Funny that our little hedge should mention it....


As Blame Game Deepens, AIG Outrage Could Give GOP Electoral Opening

Republicans are increasingly blaming the rival party for allowing AIG to pay out millions in bonuses at a time when it's accepting billions in taxpayer money.

After two straight electoral drubbings, Republicans finally might have found a path to the soul of the voters: AIG.

The GOP tried to harness taxpayer outrage last month when Congress was debating a stimulus package five times bigger than the first one. But the package passed, and Democrats' poll numbers only increased.

Voter outrage could be more consolidated this time, following revelations that bailed-out American International Group paid $165 million in bonuses to employees at a rogue financial unit.

Though lawmakers have tried to assure angry constituents they're doing their utmost to retrieve the money, Republicans are using their out-of-power status to vilify Democrats for allegedly permitting the bonuses on their watch.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee excoriated Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a memo Wednesday, saying congressional Democrats bear responsibility for the "utter disaster." The group pointed to a provision included in the stimulus package that exempted companies like AIG from limitations on bonuses.

"As the majority leader, Senator Reid controls the agenda and he had the power to prevent this debacle," spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson said in the statement.

Republicans moved ahead of Democrats on Tuesday in a Rasmussen congressional poll for the first time in years.

The poll, which asks voters whether they would vote for a Democratic or Republican candidate if their congressional election were held today, gave Republicans a 41-to-39 percent advantage.
