Voting Record and Legislative Philosophy.

Episode 2: Ben, Toyota and the Unions...
Where do Ben's interests lie?
It isn't clear!!!

CLICK HERE to listen to 1 minute promo.

A non-union company, Toyota has been singled out
for particularly harsh treatment by the Obama administration.
Why the lackluster response from Ben Chandler?

Unions... Trial lawyers... A Million Dollars...
Little stuff like that!

Podcast includes audio clips of Teamsters President Jim Hoffa going after Toyota.
Also hear from the rank and file expressing anger at their treatment by Union Bosses.

Under the Obama administration, non-union companies can expect the same exaggerated
treatment Toyota is receiving.

Discover similarities between the current administration and the union boss system:
The BIG GUY in control of the rank and file (that's us!)

Mar. 2, Joe Biden reports to AFL-CIO:
The Obama administration has invested in the creation of jobs in 21st century industries
such as green technology and high-speed rail, and it's up to unions to organize in those fields.
"That's a new economy. That's where labor is going to lead.
That's where you're going to get to organize."

Episode 1:
An irreverent look at
the style and substance of Ben Chandler.

CLICK HERE to listen to 1 minute promo.

As for style, Ben showed up at Commerce Lexington Jan. 29
sporting a spiffy new hair-do, the "Cindy-Lou 'do"!
And you thought helmet hair only came in one flavor...
Tsk, tsk, tsk... perhaps you underestimate
the creative influence of Ben's new agent!

Regarding substance: Ben admits he doesn't know what he's doing;
The left has beaten him up whenever he tries to
reach across the aisle, so he's learned not to do it any more!
A real whine-fest!

A little lively music and some fun
while listening to clips of Ben's speech,
plus a look for the "real" Ben, if he exists...

Also, some comment on the government's assault on Toyota.
Where's Ben? You'll never guess...
Listen! (It's only 18 minutes long.)
(Post-script: Sorry for the fuzzy picture of Ben's "'do"...it was zoomed with no flash. Actually, not bad...considering!)

If it's good for Ben, it will have to be good enough for you!!!

	Ben Chandler's Driving Principle: His own advancement. His constituency is twofold: the liberal left of today's Democrat Party, and you, the regular conservative-leaning every-day "man-on-the-street" type. There is no way to please both demographics at once. Ben's money comes mostly from left-leaning sources ...trial lawyers, unions, liberal politicians, etc. (Charlie Rangel...tax cheat) However, if Ben campaigns as a liberal, he loses. His district is conservative! That's why the old Blue Dog comes a-scratchin' at your door...pandering, promising, "sharing your concerns." Ben's Rules: 1. Deliver the goods to his donors. 2. Do or say whatever is necessary to stay in power.
Riding High!!! Ben on Obama: "I endorsed Barack Obama, and I'm proud that I did, because I know I endorsed a winner! The time is right for Barack Obama!" "I think he's brilliant...I think I'll have an opportunitiy to have some visits with him and hopefully some influence with him." "Rahm Emanuel helps me. He's a good friend of mine." Ben On Bi-Partisanship: "Bush-Cheney have utterly failed. These twin bedmates of disaster; they have achieved the ultimate nightmare... They have managed to bankrupt millions." Ben Creates Debt: Ben votes for $1 Trillion stimulus bill: "The only tool we had was government spending. What else do you have but government spending?" Ben on Private Enterprise: Ben voted for a 90% retroactive punitive tax on targetted citizens. Ben voted to take over GM: "You want to see the government step in and take control." Ben Creates More Debt: Feb. 4, 2010: Ben voted to raise America's debt limit another $1.9 Trillion. Ben Votes to Tax Energy: Cap and Trade is a basket of goodies for coal haters...taxing fossil fuels at every level; even giving emergency powers to Barack Obama if CO2 levels rise. The cost to us is inestimable.	Split Personality? Nope!!! 100% Chandler 100% of the time!! Ben stands everywhere; Ben stands nowhere... Whatever suits him that day.	Playing it Straight. Obama is Moderate: "He's going to govern from the middle." "He's gonna heal a lot of the wounds internationally." Getting along: "I go out of my way to get along with Republicans that we send to Congress." "I hope that partisanship will be pushed aside..." Fiscal Conservative: "Well, one of the things we can do about debt is demand accountability in the spending." "When you are in debt, I would submit to you that you are, in fact, less secure, and that is what we are getting in this country." (Spoken during the Bush years...) "You're never stronger when you're in debt than when you're in the black." Loving business: "I'm not interested in ever being part of a government expansion. I want to see free enterprise work; encourage it rather than take it over." Digging Coal: "No matter what you think about the damage coal may cause, it's important and it's not going to go away."

The above information comes from a variety of sources:
The Congressional Record, The Richmond Register, Speeches at Commerce Lexington and LBAR, Youtube videos, and Chandler's website.

Obama Gave Ben Permission to Vote Against Healthcare:
Ben told 5th grade students that President Barack Obama urged him to vote in favor,
but “I ended up not being able to vote the way he wanted me to,
but President Obama was OK with it
because I had supported him on lots of other things."

How will he vote on healthcare this time? CALL HIM!!!

Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people...but besides this, they have a right...
to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers.
