GOP Congressman Thinks AG Eric Holder Should Be Locked Up!

Republican Blake Farenthold has a vendetta against Attorney General Eric Holder. 

Bill Maher has declared war on the Republicans. He wants to contribute to defeating members of the Tea Party. One in particular is the Texas Republican congressman Blake Farenthold who has a history of saying pretty controversial things.

Maher has stated that Republican lawmakers such as Farenthold are an embarrassment to our nation and it's up to the voters to get rid of these assholes.

He created a "FLIP A DISTRICT" movement and Maher is determined to take Farenthold and New York Republican congressman Michael Grimm out.

Farenthold was a former turd flipper on AM radio and was elected to Congress during the sweep.

Since he's been in office, Farenthold is obsessed with Fast & Furious, the formerly plagued Obamacrare website, Benghazi and Lois Lerner's role in the IRS alleged actions against the Tea Party.

Farenthold made it his mission to undermine President Barack Obama and those who support him.

On Loserville, Farenthold wanted to tell the audience (uh, the racist right), that he's going to draft legislation that would cease federal payment of Attorney General Eric Holder.

Attorney General Holder told the National Action Network's annual conference that obstruction towards President Barack Obama is unwarrented and unprecedented.

Last week, Farenthold and fellow Texas Republican congressman Louie Gohmert were being total assholes towards Holder. They were saying that he should be locked up. That sparked a tense exchange of words between Gohmert and Holder.

The Republicans (and seven Democrats) voted to have the Attorney General in contempt of Congress for not releasing documents in relation to the the Fast & Furious operation that lead to the killing of ATF agent Brian Terry.

Mediaite reports that Farenthold told Greta The Ambulance Chaser Thursday night that it could help hold people like Holder to account, explaining, “If you’re in contempt of Congress, we don’t pay you.”

Greta The Ambulance Chaser wondered whether that could potentially backfire in the future, like if there’s a “rogue Congress” in the future that decides to go after a government official for purely partisan reasons. Farenthold insisted contempt of Congress is not something done on a whim, and said, “We’ve got to come up with some enforcement mechanism, and this is what I think we have the constitutional authority to go.”

He emphasized this is not specifically about Holder, but “pulling power back to Congress” in the face of Holder using the “Obama administration playbook of stonewall and delay.”

A Real Love Sacrifice: Teen Killed By Train Saving Girlfriend!

Mateus Moore and his girlfriend Mickayla Friend were hit by a train. Mateus would push his girlfriend out of the way of the train. He would pay the ultimate sacrifice for his actions.

I understand that it's considered an easier way to get through the streets. It's so interesting to see where a train goes. It's kinda of cool that a train passes through a tunnel or over a bridge.

But why on earth would young teens continue to walk on railroad tracks?

It is extremely dangerous for anyone to walk on railroad tracks. No matter what the situation, a train can come and you wouldn't even know it. Many people paid the price for trespassing on the tracks.

It's a class A misdemeanor for anyone caught on the railroad tracks. The individual could be arrested for trespassing or impeding on the right-of-way of transit.

It's a CLASS THREE FELONY if you're caught putting something on the tracks to derail or impede on the transit of a train. You can go to the iron college if you put something on the tracks and cause a train to derail.

If you're stuck on the tracks call the police or the rail company to inform the operator of the train.

A train can't stop like a car and semi-truck. It could take up to a full mile to come to a complete stop.

California teen paid the ultimate price. He died a hero trying to save his girlfriend.

They were walking on the tracks in Maysville. They were heading to a school dance when they hear a train was approaching. Upon the impact of a train, the teen Mateus Moore pushed his girlfriend, Mickayla Friend out of the way. He was hit and immediately killed.

Friend barely survived. She is in the local hospital in critical condition.


The train hit them both, but Mateus died, while Mickayla is alive in the ICU. Despite Mickayla's serious injuries, her mom says the 16-year-old told her, "I remember Mateus turning and looking back. I remember him pushing me out of the way of the train." A witness says he saw the same thing: "They would have both been underneath that train if he didn't push her out of the way at the last second." Mateus' dad says he's proud of his son.

Eric Stark, an 11-year-old who was at the nearby Little League field when the impact occurred, said Moore pushed Friend out of the way at the last second.

"I heard the train, and it was honking a lot, and it didn't stop honking," Stark told News 10. "Right when they turned around, it was too late, and then the guy, he pushed the girl out of the way, but she still got hit by the train. And it sucked him in sort of and ran him over."

Stark's father, Shawn Stark, also saw the incident and believes that Moore's actions saved the girl. "They would have both been underneath that train if he didn't push her out of the way at the last second," he told KCRA.

Family devastated. How could their teens choose to walk the tracks instead of the streets.

The girl's family says Moore was "amazing."

"He loved her more than anyone," Friend's sister, Alithya Friend, told News 10.

Officials say the train's emergency brake system was initiated, but the train was unable to stop in time. Officials also say there is no evidence that either teen was intoxicated or wearing headphones.

Earlier this month a teen was killed after she tried to retrieve her iPhone off the tracks and misjudged the train's impact. Jenna Betti was killed when she and her boyfriend were walking on active tracks.

She would at first avoid the train but she dropped her phone. She got caught off guard by the train's speed and was hit on impact.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the families Mateus Moore and Jenna Betti.

We also send our prayers to the family of Mickayla Friend.

Nate Silver: Smile Republicans!

The famed statistician and sports commentator calls the Midterms for the Republicans.

The famed stats man got the goods on the U.S. Midterms. He strongly believes that the Republican Party despite it's hateful and yet unaccomplished agenda will have a chance to take full control of the Congress.

With that being said, it's possible that the Southern Democrats in the House and Senate are doomed or at least in danger of being doomed.

Silver, who just launched his own site, FiveThirtyEight, under the ESPN banner, spoke to ABC’s Jon Karl in a segment on This Week With George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning. There he said his best prediction saw the GOP taking six seats, the exact number they’d need to have a one-vote majority. However, that prediction was +/- five seats, meaning the Senate could relatively unchanged, or the GOP could win big in November.

So do you believe the Republicans have a chance to win despite being a totally useless party?

After all Silver did call the election for President Barack Obama long before he got through the first debates.

Lois Lerner Attacked By The Racist Right!

Been over a year for the IRS scandal.

Been over a year for the Benghazi scandal.

Been over a year since the former IRS official who is constantly hounded by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) over her role in the alleged targeting of Tea Party affiliated groups. She got death threats because of the continuous name drops from the likes of King Hippo (aka Rush Limbaugh) and P*ssy Ass Sean Hannity (aka That Guy Who Helped Obama Win).

This week brought some fireworks at the umpteenth congressional hearing. Issa and his counterpart Congressman Elliah Cummings (D-MD) got into a heated confrontation during Lois Lerner's testimony.

Cummings slammed Issa for not allocating time for him talk. He also called to question to why Issa's committees netting no smoking gun results.

Lerner’s lawyers had said she would simply plead the Fifth again, and asked lawmakers to reconsider a public hearing, citing the numerous death threats the former IRS official had received since the scandal first surfaced. It was also reported that she wanted immunity in exchange for answering questions. But Issa said that she would not be granted any such protections when she appears this Wednesday before his committee.

No new friends. A testy spat between Republican Darrell Issa and Democrat Elliah Cummings.

The IRS targeting controversy has taken several twists since Lerner first declined to testify up through her testimony this coming week. It was revealed that the tax agency had also included progressive groups on its so-called Be On The Look Out lists, though not in the same kind of numbers or frequency as Tea Party groups. The Treasury Department’s inspector general -- who first uncovered the targeting –- said he was dismayed that he hadn’t picked up on the targeting of progressive groups during his investigation.

Republicans, in the meantime, have continued to make the case that there was a larger political motivation behind the targeting and have sought to tie the IRS' watch lists to influence from higher up in the Obama administration. Lerner will likely be pressed hard on this.

The IRS, which is currently being investigated by six different entities over the controversy, is also trying to revamp the rules it uses for weighing how to apply tax exempt status to political organizations. Under the drafted rule, the IRS would limit the amount of "candidate-related political activity" that groups claiming to be social welfare organizations can conduct. The IRS would also define candidate-related political activity to include certain communications such as direct advocacy for a certain candidate, voter registration drives and offering up grants and donations.

Republicans have strongly objected to the proposal, calling it a violation of free speech. Democrats have argued that it would bring some clarity into a tax-exempt application process that -- as demonstrated by the IRS mess -- clearly needs it.

It Was The Phone That Killed Cali Teen!

A teen who was a star soccer player at her junior high school was killed by a freight train. Jenna Betti went to retrieved her phone and mistaken the train distance. She was struck and killed. This is one of the selfie photos Jenna took with her heartbroken mother.

We're in the digital age.

About 90% of American citizens own and operate a phone. The land line phone is on the decline and most Americans are now getting all their needs through their phone.

And with the phone comes the responsibility. Smartphone theft is on the rise and people are losing their lives over this. The companies and software developers are working to prevent this from happening. They are creating freeware and anti-theft tools to keep track of a stolen phone.

States are passing stricter laws that fine, vehicle operators who are on the road while on the phone.

I admit that I often do a lot of texting on the phone while operating a vehicle. That is extremely dangerous.

Many Americans lost their lives on the highways because of a five second text or a phone conversation.

You don't get an opportunity to avoid a hazard when you're arguing with a friend or family member.

You crash into a vehicle. Either you kill someone or you're the one!

We all must use common sense when using a cellphone!

A 14-year old girl paid the price for her phone. She lost her life when a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway train struck and killed her in California.

Jenna Betti from Martinez was trespassing on the railroad tracks with her boyfriend. Upon hearing a freight train approaching, they first moved off the tracks. But somehow, Betti dropped her phone. She went to retrieve her phone and got caught off guard by the speed of the train. The train struck her and killed her upon impact.

The girl and her boyfriend didn't use common sense when they walked on the tracks. Then of course, instead of moving off the tracks, the young teen decided that the phone was more important than her life.

Jenna's mother Denna posted on the social networks about her daughter's death. Denna wrote, "She didn't judge the approach, and the train creates a vacuum, we were told, and it sucks you in."

"Thank you for all your love, support and prayers during this very difficult time," her mother wrote. "Why they made such a horrible decision we'll never know."

It's probably safer to watch a train approach from a distance.

It is extremely dangerous for anyone to walk on railroad tracks. No matter what the situation, a train can come and you wouldn't even know it. Many people paid the price for trespassing on the tracks.

It's a class A misdemeanor for anyone caught on the railroad tracks. The individual could be arrested for trespassing or impeding on the right-of-way of transit.

It's a CLASS THREE FELONY if you're caught putting something on the tracks to derail or impede on the transit of a train. You can go to the iron college if you put something on the tracks and cause a train to derail.

If you're stuck on the tracks call the police or the rail company to inform the operator of the train.

A train can't stop like a car and semi-truck. It could take up to a full mile to come to a complete stop.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Jenna Betti.

Conservative Outrage Over Iran's Agreement To Disarming!

A victory for the West is surrender according to the conservatives who support Israel in a possible provoked attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

QUICK QUESTION: WHY ARE THE SO-CALLED PRO-AMERICAN CROWD SUPPORTING A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT? 

LAST TIME I'VE CHECKED, ISRAEL IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY. 

WITH ALL THIS BEMOANING FROM REPUBLICANS AND THEIR CONSERVATIVE ALLIES, I WOULD OF SWORN THEY'RE TURNING THEIR BACKS AGAINST AMERICA! THESE SO-CALLED PATRIOTS AREN'T SUPPORTING AMERICA, BUT A FOREIGN NATION.

ISN'T THAT TREASONOUS?

THESE WAR TURKEYS AREN'T THINKING ABOUT ENDING CONFLICTS! 

IN THEIR MINDS, ALL THEY SEE ARE BROWN SCARY MUSLIM PEOPLE.

ISRAEL IS FAULTLESS IN THE CONFLICT.

AND IF YOU CRITICIZE THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, YOU'RE ANTI-SEMITIC ACCORDING TO THESE WAR TURKEYS! 

The Islamic Republic of Iran is the "enemy" of the United States. When the leaders of the country speak ill of America and Israel, those arm chair warriors want to take the bombs to them.

The conservatives believe that the president and the international leaders handed Iran a victory by giving them six months to give up their intentions of nuclear enrichment. Somehow, achieving a goal to make Iran give up its nuclear weapons isn't a victory but a "surrender".

For if it was a Republican president, you wouldn't hear the talk from the likes of Senator John McCain (R-AZ) saying a move like this is "dangerous".

In order for sanctions to be lifted, lead negotiators for the P5+1 and Iran met in Geneva in October to discuss elements of a possible framework for resolving questions about Iran's nuclear program. Experts from the P5+1 and Iran met in Vienna around late October to exchange detailed information on those elements. Lead negotiators met again this month to negotiate that framework, joined at the end by Foreign Ministers from the P5+1, but despite extending the talks. In the beginning they were unable to agree on that framework and agreed instead to meet again later.

Today, the foreign ministers of Iran and the P5+1 agreed to a six-month interim deal that involves the freezing of key parts of the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for a decrease in sanctions, to provide time to negotiate a permanent agreement. Iran will stop enriching uranium beyond 5%, and will stop development of their Arak plant. The UN will be granted greater access for inspections. In exchange, Iran will receive relief from sanctions of approximately $7 billion and no additional sanctions will be imposed.

President Obama called the agreement an "important first step."

Conservatives call it an Obama apology tour. It starts with right wing asshat Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying that the international powers comforting to Iran is a "mistake".

Senator Bob Crocker (R-TN) appears on Loserville to make his "I hate Obama" rhetoric. He, McCain and his BFF Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) have denounced the move as a precedent towards letting Iran dictate how they operate.

The Stallmigos and their buddies affiliated with the Tea Party claim this announcement is a distraction from the disastrous rollout of Obamacare.

Even some of those war turkeys in the Democratic Party aren't happy about the peaceful solution.

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) are two vocal critics of the Six Party talks to making Iran stop the nuclear program.

A bunch of war turkeys who think the best way to solving a problem is either starve them or bomb them.

Just angry over a political disagreements.

I mean if Iran criticizes Israel, conservative Republicans and those spineless Democrats are beating on their chests. They feel that criticizing the government is a sin.

I mean you got a right wing asshat like Netanyahu in power and his ass is trying to derail the peace progress with his bellicose rabble rousing.

Arab nations Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and the Palestinian Authority have come out in favor of the temporary agreement. Lebanon also hailed the agreement, while emphasizing that Israel should also sign the NPT and rid itself of its nuclear weapons arsenal.

Turkey, India and Pakistan have also welcomed the framework agreement.

In a reference to Israel's arsenal of nuclear weapons, Saudi Arabia and Qatar both advocated a comprehensive solution to Iran's nuclear issue which would leave the entire Middle East free of nuclear weapons.

Most Americans can't find Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq on a map.

Reaction from Israeli government politicians was negative. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the accord a "historic mistake," and intelligence minister Yuval Steinitz compared it to failed nuclear negotiations with North Korea.

Considering the way Washington handled the deal with Iran The Jerusalem Post questioned whether Netanyahu would "place Israel's security in the hands of US guarantees".

Leader of the opposition Isaac Herzog criticized Netanyahu's reaction as bad for Israel's relations with the United States, although Herzog also said that Obama was partly to blame for not communicating more closely with Israel.

Saudi Arabia, a regional rival of Iran, welcomed the agreement. The Saudi cabinet released a statement which read, in part: "The government of the kingdom sees that if there was goodwill, this agreement could represent a preliminary step towards a comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear program" and could eventually lead "to the removal of weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, from the Middle East and the Arab Gulf region".

Reaction from the U.S. Congress was mixed. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Peter King were sharply critical of the agreement. Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Adam Smith were more positive. Speaker John Boehner and Democrat Eliot Engel were cautious.

Reactions from Canada were "skeptical", with Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird saying Iran "has not earned the right to have the benefit of the doubt."

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon hailed the interim agreement as the potential "beginnings of a historic agreement."

Hezbollah published a declaration and stated this is a triumph for Iran.

What's your take on this?

I know my personal take is, good for America to put aside it differences to do something. I am glad that the president didn't take orders from some right wing asshat who believes that we should bow down to him and his corrupt government.

Israelis can bitch and scream all they want. They're just lucky the UN and global leaders don't call upon the country to give up its nuclear power and weapons.

The Face Of The Healthcare Marketplace Got Death Threats!

The model for Healthcare.gov told the junk food media that she face "death threats" and rampant harassment online.

It seems like conservatives and the reactionary have no shame when it comes to their fellow Americans.

The model who was on the beginning page of the Healthcare Marketplace is being severely harassed by those arm chair assholes.

Ever since it's launch, the Healthcare.gov website has been experiencing problems. All I've heard for the last few weeks is the talk of the website and not the law. I've heard turdporters and agitators in the media complain about the website day in and day out.

So much distortion and half truths plague the media. This has probably made the rollout a whole lot worse when you're the "official face" of the law.

The woman only identified as "Adriana" has spoke to ABC News about the ordeal.

Screenshot of young woman was removed.

When her face was the first thing you see when you went to the website, no one would expect her face to become a viral sensation.

Adriana, who asked that only her first name be used, said she was speaking out now to defend herself after weeks of enduring online lampooning.

"They have nothing else to do but hide behind the computer. They're cyberbullying," Adriana told ABC News' Amy Robach.

The picture was ultimately pulled from the front page, which Adriana called a "relief."

"They took the picture down. I wanted the picture down, and they wanted the picture down. I don't think anybody wanted to focus on the picture," she said.

But a Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson told ABC that the photo was not removed because Adriana requested it.

Married for more than six years with a 21-month old son, Adriana reached out to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to inquire about having photos of her family taken in exchange for permitting their use on the website. She was notified in the summer that her photo would be used on the front page.

Calling herself "pure Colombian," Adriana said she's lived in the United States for more than six years and is applying for citizenship. Her husband is an American citizen.

Amy Robach of ABC News confirmed that she has breast cancer and its planning on having a double mastectomy in the coming months. Right now she will contribute to 20/20 while Elizabeth Vargas is out on medical leave for alcoholism and depression.

She was a victim of hateful rhetoric as well.

Hannity's Phone Prank Got Obamacare Phone Operator "ERLING DAVIS" Fired!

I've said this conservative agitator is the reason why President Barack Obama won.

He is clearly obsessed with the president. He can't go a day without name dropping the president or his allies in the Democratic Party.

The agitator is pretty much the reasons for why the Republican Party is so fucking screwed up.

The conservative agitator's phone prank got the unwillingly phone operator fired. He set the woman up.

He dialed the phone number to the Healthcare Marketplace. He talked to Erling Davis, the former phone operator for the Marketplace.

The woman Erling Davis is probably from Panama City, Florida. She was the person who took the call from That Guy Who Helped Obama Win. The agitator would ask the woman silly questions about the Affordable Healthcare Law and how many people have signed up for it. He would make the woman read the confidential script of how to deal with irate callers.

The woman unwittingly told the gullible audience all that information. Clearly going against her principles as a confidential worker. She clearly doesn't have an understanding to the purpose of her job working for the federal government.

Now to take some of the heat off of him, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win now wants to give a "gift" to Erling. More like "hush money" if the woman should sue him for unlawfully taping her conversation.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win fears that the woman might call the FCC or the management of Premiere Radio Networks, Inc. So in order to stop that, he gives her a stick with a carrot attached to a string.

Republicans are worked up over the healthcare law. The website has crashed a couple of times and Republicans want investigations.

Now as a gesture of his "appreciation" for the kindness of the phone operator, he allows her on his right wing carnival to tell her side of the story. Once again, putting herself in another situation where it may permanently harm her chances at getting hired anywhere. The conservative agitator prank had really attracted controversy.

This controversy blew up on the internet. Many people singled out That Guy for wasting valuable time for actual callers.

He got the word of the woman's firing from some on the internet. And I guess it touched the agitator's social networking sites.

So Erling Davis stated that she wanted to find another job. During the radio interview, she stated that her income is relatively low, and her previous employers were in the food service industry. The woman describes herself as a mother of two children. And of course, now unemployed she explains how upset the management was. She stated that the management had an "attitude" with her after she found out that her job was being terminated.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win vowed to help the woman (and probably others he set up) find jobs.

Yeah, like I believe he'll helped that woman. Just like he'll donate all the revenues for them sham Freedom Concerts.

Again, there's a reason why he was demoted to the 10pm time slot on Loserville. There's a reason why he was fired from Cumulus Radio.

If you want to help Erling Davis out, do me a favor and contact the FCC and Premiere Radio, Inc. and tell them that the antics by That Guy Who Helped Obama Win were inappropriate and have no place for radio.

Here's the numbers to contact.

Dem Senator: GOP House Leader Disrespected Obama!

President Barack Obama and Republicans have a rocky relationship to say at least.

"I can't even stand to look at you," says one Republican House leader to President Barack Obama.

Democratic Illinois senator Dick Durbin made the claim today and people are now talking.

Who says that President Barack Obama doesn't want to work with Republicans?

Durbin went to the social networks to post a claim that seems to measure up to how the budget negotiations went down. The Republicans were demanding that the president concede to their demands. The Republicans wanted to repeal the healthcare law and have mandatory spending cuts to safety nets. After pressure was brought upon the Republicans by those pesky polls, the Republicans caved in. They ended up with nothing.

The Majority Whip of the U.S. Senate had participated in the negotiations with the president.

Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) post on the social networks about the negotiation battles with Republicans.

The Hill reports "Many Republicans searching for something to say in defense of the disastrous shutdown strategy will say President Obama just doesn't try hard enough to communicate with Republicans," Durbin said. "But in a 'negotiation' meeting with the president, one GOP House Leader told the president: 'I cannot even stand to look at you.'"

"What are the chances of an honest conversation with someone who has just said something so disrespectful?" the Illinois Democrat added.

An aide to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he had "no idea what [Durbin's] talking about."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Durbin did not say when the alleged confrontation occurred, and whether the exchange happened in the period preceding or during the shutdown that shuttered government for 16 days earlier this month.

In October, the president met once with Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) as part of a pow-wow with congressional leadership. McConnell told CNBC shortly after that discussion was "cordial but unproductive."



Later, the president invited the full House Republican caucus to meet at the White House, although a smaller leadership group handpicked by Boehner attended instead. In subsequent days, the full group of Republican senators traveled to the White House to meet with the president.

Of course, Republicans are going to deny this claim.

But if you look at the comment section of most blogs linked through a conservative outlet, the antics of right wing talk radio, and a cable news channel that runs 24/7 negative coverage of the president, seriously are you not going to believe those comments weren't made?

How many Republicans have the nerve to call for impeachment?

Remember Representatives [Addison] Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina) famous outburst during the president's State of the Union Address?

Did you know that Representatives Darrell Issa (R-California) is continuously calling for investigations for every minor issue that happens to drive conservatives bonkers?

Aren't you familiar with the outrageous statements made by Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Steve King (R-Iowa), Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin)?

Aren't you familiar with the Stallmigos?

Yeah, Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) are the four Stallmigos. They're on television more than anyone else and yet have no accomplishments for it.

There's no denying it.

The Republicans unprecedented hate for the president is on record and people are starting to notice.

That's probably why the polls are saying that it's time to get rid of the House Republicans.

We can only hope next year, Republicans would overplay their hand and people vote these assholes out!

GOP Lucky The Election Wasn't Today!

House leadership. Congressman John Boehner (R-OH), Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA). The American people are tired of the Republican leadership in Congress.

Congress at historical lows. The president's job approval is low but way better than those in control of Congress.

It seems like the Tea Party's mission to political suicide is an ongoing situation. The latest polls say that Republicans favor way worse than expected and the possibility of a Democratic-takeover is getting stronger.

Most disapprove of the handling of the government shutdown. Ohio Republican congressman John Boehner as Speaker of The House is ranked highly unfavorable.

This government shutdown over the healthcare law was the tip of the iceberg for many who were fed up with this inept Congress.

With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives and the Democrats in charge of the Senate, things aren't getting done. People are starting to notice.

With the rough roll out of the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare), the president has to now acknowledge the problems with the government website. Of course, he's giving the Republicans a new talking point acknowledging the healthcare law is a failure.

A common theme among the conservative agitators in the junk food media is that website. It's experienced minor issues that could be solved by dialing a phone number instead of continuing to sign on the website.

Then of course, the agitators (one being That Guy Who Helped Obama Win) are trying to distort this to make the government website seem more severe than it seems. He was discredited by Mother Jones and Salon.

A new survey of 25 GOP-held districts shows dwindling favorability for Republican members of the House in the wake of the recent government shutdown.

The survey, conducted by liberal-leaning Public Policy Polling and funded by MoveOn.org, is the third in a series of polls that indicate Democrats have a shot at taking back the House of Representatives in the 2014 election cycle.

The results of the latest survey show that incumbent Republicans in 15 of the 25 districts polled trail generic Democratic candidates. When combined with the results of the previous surveys, the polls show that generic Democratic candidates lead in 37 of 61 GOP-held districts.

When voters were informed their Republican candidate supported the government shutdown, 11 more districts flipped and one race became a tie.

Democrats in the House only need to see a net increase of 17 seats in order to take back the majority. This poll indicates that Democrats could see an increase of as many as 49 seats.

Public Policy Polling indicated several caveats to the results. The surveys were conducted during a high-profile budget crisis debate, a year before the elections will take place. And incumbent Republican candidates were compared to "generic Democrats," who may not represent the actual candidates each district will see.

"Democrats must recruit strong candidates and run effective campaigns in individual districts if they are to capitalize on the vulnerability revealed by these surveys," Public Policy Polling's Jim Williams said of the caveat, "and they must maintain a significant national advantage over Republicans."

Recent polls conducted by the Pew Research Center and NBC/Wall Street Journal are consistent with the survey's claim that the Republican party took a hit from the fiscal crisis. Pew found that more Americans blamed Republicans for the shutdown, and NBC/Wall Street Journal found that the Republican party was "badly damaged" by it.

Nonetheless, we're seeing the possibility of uprooting Republicans out of the House of Representatives.

In a few months, we may experience another government shutdown. Hopefully they get the message this time around and just pass a clean budget resolution bill.

Will the Republicans continue focusing on Operation Fast & Furious?

Will the Republicans continue trying to repeal Obamacare?

Will the Republicans continue committees on Obama's cabinet members, radical Islam, contraception, the Obamacare website, and the NSA?

Will the Tea Party be the death of the Republican Party?

If you answer those questions, you already have an answer. I just don't want to give you mine!

BREAKING: Government Shutdown Adverted (For 6 Months)!

Gambled his political future to the tone of extremism. 

The Senate passed a bipartisan budget bill and debt ceiling increase.

The House of Representatives controlled by the Republicans finally gave up their useless fight over Obamacare. This has sparked a feud within the party itself. The House will finally pass a clean resolution to fund the thousands of workers off the job. This will also prevent a spark of a global recession.

For nearly 20 days, government workers were furloughed and some were even working without getting paid.

Those off the job will be compensated for time missed.

The debt ceiling will be raised for a moment.

Now six months from now, we'll be back in the same mess we've gotten in. But this time, the Republicans can't stop Obamacare. And this time Republicans will have to pick their fights carefully. Because if they try this stunt again, they're going to lose everything.

Boehner and the tea party were finally forced to release their grip Wednesday by a bipartisan coalition in the U.S. Senate that said enough is enough, and the looming deadline of potential default starting Thursday.

“The House has fought with everything it has to convince the president of the United States to engage in bipartisan negotiations aimed at addressing our country's debt and providing fairness for the American people under ObamaCare," Boehner said after he finally waved the white flag. "That fight will continue. But blocking the bipartisan agreement reached today by the members of the Senate will not be a tactic for us."

All that Republicans got for the bruising battle was a fig leaf provision on Obamacare and record low approval ratings.

The bill agreed upon by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will fund the government through Jan. 15 and extend the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling through Feb. 7. It also includes back pay for unpaid and furloughed federal workers and an agreement that both chambers would open a budget conference committee for the first time in years.

The lone change to Obamacare was minimal, and Democrats said they liked it. It involves putting tighter restrictions on income verification standards for people receiving subsidies in the Affordable Care Act's new insurance marketplaces. It was a far cry from defunding or delaying the law, as many Republicans conceded the strategy to focus the fight on Obamacare had been wrong from the start.

Republicans did notch a significant victory in the final deal. It funds the government until mid-January at the sequestration levels specified by the 2011 Budget Control Act that ended the last debt showdown. But Republicans had won that concession from Democrats weeks before the House set out on its doomed effort to strangle Obamacare.

"The sad truth is, we ended up where we started," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "We achieved our goal, but at a cost. It never should have been this way."

Cruz grabbed one final moment in the spotlight, railing on the Senate floor against letting the Treasury Department pay the debts Congress has run up and putting federal workers back on the job.

"This is a terrible deal," Cruz said. "This deal embodies everything about the Washington establishment that frustrates the American people."

But even as Cruz spoke, he conceded defeat by accurately predicting the bill would pass "by a big margin," and accused his Senate colleagues of abandoning House Republicans in the fight against Obamacare.

"I ask you to imagine a world in which Senate Republicans united to support House Republicans," Cruz said. "It is heartbreaking to the American people that Senate Republicans divided as they did and decided to direct their criticism, direct their attention, direct their cannon fire at House Republicans and at those standing with the American people.

"They became the Air Force bombing our own troops -- bombing House Republicans, bombing conservatives," Cruz said.

The 18 senators who voted against the final deal are all idiots: Republicans Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Dean Heller (Nev.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), Pat Roberts (Kansas), Jim Risch (Idaho), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Richard Shelby (Ala.), Pat Toomey (Pa.), David Vitter (La.).

President Barack Obama said he would sign the measure "immediately."

"We'll begin reopening our government immediately and we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and the American people," Obama said in a brief speech at the White House.

The standoff began over the summer, when tea party Republicans, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), demanded that the House of Representatives lock government funding in a chokehold unless Democrats and Obama defunded the Affordable Care Act.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said no, at first. But but he later gave in, ignoring the advice of other Republicans, from Mitt Romney to John McCain (Ariz.) and Tom Coburn (Okla.).

Here's pictures that explain the whole fiasco and the lead up to passing a law.

There's A Phone Number For The Healthcare Law, You Idiots! By The Way, We're In A Government Shutdown, Too!

Jan Crawford of CBS News interviews controversial Stallmigo, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Turdporter trying to use GOP talking points to discredit the healthcare law. Tell her to butt dial 1-800-312-2596 if she has trouble on the computer trying to sign up.

Waking up to CBS This Morning and I got the opportunity to hear the news agitators talk about the "rocky start" to the Affordable Healthcare Act's website. We hear millions (or thousands) of people trying to access the website and they're having problems. We even hear talk from President Barack Obama's former press secretary and campaign adviser Robert Gibbs tells Obama News that people should be "fired" for the rollout.

Yeah, I can say this clearly that turdporter Jan Crawford of CBS News is a god awful.

She's doing the Republicans a favor by reporting on the minor glitches over at Healthcare.gov. Giving the notion that the whole law is screwed up and the president overplayed his hand.

One thing in particular is the system server crashing or continuous mentions of "PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER" on the website.

That's common when you're also in a "GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN". Obviously every government website is down.

But also there's a phone number 1-800-318-2596. It's toll free and you can call it. Depending on call volumes, you should be able to have a live operator to help you sign up for affordable healthcare.

Understand, that computer users may have some form of frustration with the website. It's perfectly fine.

Here's a scenario. If you have rolled out a website and it has frequent glitches, do you just shutdown the website or work on making improvements to it?

Apple, Inc. has the most glitches on their software. I own a iPod (4th Generation Touch). Do you know how many times I've had my apps crash or be updated?

Do I think the iPod Touch is a great product? Yeah.

Do I understand that the iPods, iPads, and iPhone have problems? Yeah.

That's the same way I feel about the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare).

It's a great product. It has problems. They will fix them.

Anything that's part of the United States government is slower and it's nearly down.

So hence forth, a stupid Republican talking point.

The government website for the Affordable Healthcare Act is down. We can scream that the whole law is bad and we can win elections.

You got to be the most gullible person on the planet to not use other methods to access a product.

I mean you can get mailer. You can call a phone number.

Are you vulnerable without a computer?

It's funny that Republicans failed in stopping this. They wanted to defund, delay, repeal, legally challenge, filibuster and now intentionally taking the country to the brink of an economic disaster because of a law.

Why?

They hate the president and his policies. And of course, they're not satisfied with his race. Either way, it's not helping them with the general public.

People who run these websites are government workers too. So with this government shutdown, government workers who work in the domestic sector are furloughed or placed on leave.

Congress is messing with people's lives. The media elite are enabling them by putting on more Republicans who bolster concerns without solutions. And of course, we the gullible audience believes them.

California Passed The Halle Berry Law!

You can take pictures of her in the public. She doesn't appreciate her children being in the spotlight.

Congratulations to the 47-year old actress for delivering her second child.

The famed entertainer has keep her public life and private life separate. The entertainer was burdened by the paparazzi when they are taking pictures of her in her private time.

The cameras rolled when Berry was spending time with her first child. She didn't appreciate them putting her child in the spotlight and she wanted to take action against it.

Berry along with Jennifer Garner have spoken to the California legislators about the situation. And the lawmakers listened.

They have passed a law that made it clear that paparazzi and others who harass the children of public figures will face tougher penalties

Democratic California Governor Jerry Brown signed the law and it take effect.

The bill from state Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, will boost penalties for actions that include taking photos and video of a child without parental consent and in a harassing manner.

Celebrities such as actresses Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner urged lawmakers to support SB606. Berry testified before several legislative committees that her daughter has been intimidated by photographers who follow them daily. She said the photographers often shout while they snap pictures.

"On behalf of my children, it is my hope that this is the beginning of the end for those overly aggressive paparazzi whose outrageous conduct has caused so much trauma and emotional distress," Berry said in a statement released by her publicist.

The measure also will help protect children of police officers and judges, and other kids who might be susceptible to harassment or unwanted attention due to their parents' occupations, de Leon said.

Berry, who won an Academy Award for her role in "Monster's Ball," said she plans to work with other professionals whose children are affected by the statute to ensure local law enforcement officials will vigorously enforce the new provisions.

Under the legislation, which takes effect in January, violators could face up to a year in county jail and a fine of up to $10,000. Fines would increase for subsequent convictions.

The bill also allows for parents to bring a civil action against violators to seek damages and attorneys' fees.

"Kids shouldn't be tabloid fodder nor the target of ongoing harassment," de León said. He added the new law "will give children, no matter who their parents are, protection from harassers who go to extremes to turn a buck."

Media organizations, including the California Newspaper Publishers Association, opposed the legislation, saying it was overly broad and could restrict legitimate newsgathering activities.

De Leon's office says the bill does not infringe on First Amendment rights because it targets the photographer's conduct, not the act of taking a photograph.

Halle Maria Berry (Maria Halle Berry by legal name) is an American actress and former fashion model. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2002 for her performance in Monster's Ball, becoming the first and, as of 2013, the only woman of African-American descent to win an Oscar for a leading role. She is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood and has been involved in the production side of several of the films in which she performed. Berry is also a Revlon spokesmodel.

Before becoming an actress, Berry entered several beauty contests, finishing as the 1st runner-up in the Miss USA Pageant and coming in 6th place in the Miss World Pageant in 1986.

Her breakthrough film role was in 1992's Boomerang, which led to roles in films such as The Flintstones (1994) and Bulworth (1998). In addition to her Academy Award win, Berry reached a higher level of prominence in the new millennium with roles such as Storm in the X-Men film series (2000–present), Swordfish (2001), and Die Another Day (2002), where she played Bond Girl Jinx, later finding success in the 2010s with movies such as Cloud Atlas (2012) and The Call (2013).

She also won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress in 2005 for Catwoman and accepted the award in person, one of few people to do so.

Divorced from baseball player David Justice and musician Eric Benét, Berry has a daughter by French Canadian model Gabriel Aubry and just gave birth to a son with her current husband, actor Olivier Martinez.

She was born in Cleveland, Ohio. She and Oliver Martinez currently lives in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

A Case Of The Hot Mic!

We're going to win - Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) caught off microphone talking to the Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky). They were off script talking about how they can muster enough support against President Barack Obama. They were figuring out talking points to blame the president for the government shutdown.

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) is the minority leader of Republicans in the U.S. Senate.

We always knew he was a dirty politician!

He is probably one of the most vulnerable members up for reelection. He's very unpopular in his state. And even though he has a war chest of fundraising, he could still be beaten. McConnell is facing a challenge from a Democrat and a Republican.

Hypothetically it's a considered a "LEAN REPUBLICAN" race. Would that be a sign of the death kneel in the U.S. Senate race?

The latest bullshit from him and the House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) were no compromise on a clean bill. The Republicans want a bill that includes a stalling of the healthcare law, rollback on safety nets and environmental regulations.

He along with "NO ACCOMPLISHMENT" member of the Stallmigos Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) were caught off mic. They were talking out a strategy when they race to the cameras again.

They were trying to pass off a plan to keep them out of the blame game. They were saying that the president is unwilling to work with them. They want to develop a new line of attack against the Democrats and President Barack Obama.

You two better head back to the U.S. Capitol and pass a budget. Stop running to That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and reading that nonsense off That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall.

Do your jobs as elected leaders. Bring jobs to the country. Quit trying to ruin the economy.

Put the government back to work. Stop this fucking around with Obama.

You were elected to serve the people. You don't the healthcare law. Fine. But you better pass a bill that improves it. Because you guys aren't winning the battle.

You guys are getting paid everyday while nearly a million government workers and people on the safety nets suffer.

I am glad that his father lost the Republican primary. Ron Paul would be a horrible president. His son proves that. They both think like this. It's a shame they've proven to the "stans" they're nothing more than establishment politicians who only want to "feed their friends in Washington" instead of the people who they claim "they've looked out for!"

I finally woke up to see the Ron Paul Revolution is nothing more than a farce. It's just a bunch of idiots who think they're "free".

Nothing is free.

Get Your Asses Back To Work!

Instead of being at the U.S. Capitol, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann  (R-Minnesota) and other Republicans run to the World War II memorial with cameras in tow. They go to the memorial blaming the president for not opening up the national parks. Since they're fixated on trying to point fingers, how about we point a finger to the direction of the U.S. Capitol!

As the Republican and Democrat lawmakers run to the cameras with fingers pointing at each other, we're in day three of the government shutdown.

The president demands that Congress pass a clean budget bill. No added features, no repealing of his healthcare law and no piece by piece.

The Congress will continue to figure that one out. It could all be over if the Republican House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio buck his extremist wing of the party. Many political observers slammed the congressman for allowing "no accomplishment" lawmakers (Rand Paul  and Ted Cruz, U.S. Senators of Kentucky and Texas, respectably) take the country into the brink of economic destruction.

Last night, we've heard the people over at Loserville call the shutdown, a "slim down".

We seen the conservative agitators say park rangers are "OBAMA SHOCK TROOPS" because they were ordered to prevent veterans from entering the memorials in Washington.

We seen many Republican lawmakers showboating.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia), Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), Marlon Stutzsman (R-Indiana), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Congressman Peter King (R-New York), Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), and Congressman Steve Palazzo (R-Mississippi) were racing to the cameras.

Each lawmaker had fingers pointing at President Barack Obama and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) for allowing the government to shutdown.

The Stallmigos: Republican Senators Ted Cruz (Texas) and Mike Lee (Utah).

They continue to say that the president isn't working with them. The president tried last night to negotiate a plan but he told Republicans that cuts to safety nets and the healthcare law is off the table. The Republican leaders rejected the idea. And we're back to the finger pointing.

Clearly, the Affordable Healthcare Law is in effect. The Republicans can't stop it anymore.

They're fighting a worthless battle and they'll end up losing.

Yeah, we know that Republican have won in the past elections with the gerrymandering of districts. But since the last election, it seems like this time, it maybe possible for the Democrats to retake the House.

I give Democrats a 34% chance they will take back the House.

I give Republicans a 42% chance they will take the U.S. Senate.

Yeah, President Barack Obama deserves the blame. The president should have tried to make a better outreach on educating the healthcare law. He should have pulled every card out of his deck. Yeah, he could have even used the "race card" against the Republicans.

I mean I know that many Republicans and conservatives can't be satisfied "anything" or "nothing" is going to please them. I hear that from friends, co-workers, and those in the junk food media.

Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement thinks that veterans getting shut out of a memorial and the possible cancellation of the military college football games are bigger than those who work at the federal agencies.

Here's a few questions to you!

Do you know a person who works for the federal government?

Do you feel that your lawmaker let you down or inspired you?

Do you blame the Republicans or the Democrats?

Who's going to blink?

Blame Game: The Government Shutdown!

President Barack Obama gets blamed for government shutdown. The Republicans will take the country to the brink of fiscal destruction because they don't want to enforce the healthcare law.

The looming government shutdown.

You hear the talking points that President Barack Obama is willing to talk to dictators but not the Republican Party. Recently he's pissed off the racist right by announcing that he's called the Iranian president Hassan Rouhani.

First things first, I am getting tired of the news agitators and Republicans saying that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Obamacare!

Obamacare is such a stupid buzzword. The health care law has been the reasons for all this ridiculous gridlock in Washington, DC.

Who's going to get the blame for the government workers losing their jobs?

I think it's the Republicans who are likely going to suffer in the end. They've tried to pass this stupid bill that includes repealing the American Affordable Healthcare Act. They threw in extra goodies to sweeten the pot.

The House Republican bill includes a raising of the debt ceiling and funding of the government. But also there's a portion of the bill that allows tax breaks, an extension of the Keystone XL pipeline, defund the healthcare law for a year and rollbacks of environmental regulations.

You hear each Republican call this law Obamacare and they want to "defund the bill" and "repeal the law".

Even though the U.S. Supreme Court told the Republicans its a law, it's still not enough for the House and Senate Republicans from repealing or attempting to defund the law.

The Stallmigos: Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul.

On GOP Sundays, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) have made their attempt to say that Obamacare is bad for the people. Giving no solution to improve the law or an agenda if they succeed in repealing it. All you hear is a mixture of rhetoric that seems close to Ron Perot and the Palin Da Ass.

The Stallmigos are going to take most of the blame. The Republican leadership has fingered them for the impending government shutdown. The three senators have relatively no accomplishments in lawmaking but yet the most attention with news agitators.

Political observers say that the majority of the blame will squarely go on the feet of the Republican Party.

However a portion of the blame will go to President Barack Obama. The Republicans believe that the president hasn't reached out to them.

Yeah, right.

He's been willing to give them what they want but he said he will not allow the middle class to suffer if the Republicans get these tax cuts to billionaires. He doesn't want to risk having a pipeline that may destroy a portion of natural resources in an event of a man-made or natural disaster.

A government shutdown is a situation in which the government stops providing all but "essential" services.

Typically, services that continue despite a shutdown include police, fire fighting, the National Weather Service and its parent agencies, medical services at federal facilities, the postal service, armed forces air traffic management, and corrections (the penal system).

A federal government shutdown causes a large number of civilian federal employees to be furloughed. Military personnel are not furloughed, but may not be paid as scheduled.

The exact details of which government functions would stop during a shutdown is determined by the Office of Management and Budget. However, some specific aspects have applied to all shutdowns in the past. Among these is the closure of national parks and passport offices.

How many times has President Barack Obama reached out to Republicans? Many times, but every time a deal is made, the Stallmigos are against it. 

"Emergency personnel" continue to be employed, including the military, border agents, doctors and nurses working in federal hospitals, and air traffic controllers. Members of Congress continue to be paid, because their pay cannot be altered except by direct law.

Mail delivery is not affected as it is self-funded. The U.S. Postal Service is facing a serious budget deficit.

They want to approve a raising of stamp prices and cutting Saturday service to save money. But Congress is not willing to give them the opportunity to work on it.

Shutdowns in the past have also affected the Washington, D.C. municipal government, putting a stop to schools and to utilities such as garbage collection.

When you don't get a paycheck and your a federal worker, that may impact them more than those legislators.

The Associated Press reports that even before the House voted, Senate Democrats pledged to reject the measure and the White House issued a statement vowing a veto in any event. Republicans are pursuing "a narrow ideological agenda ... and pushing the government towards shutdown," it said.

The Senate is not scheduled to meet until mid-afternoon on Monday, 10 hours before a shutdown would begin, and even some Republicans said privately they feared that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., held the advantage in the fast-approaching end game. If so, a House GOP rank and file that includes numerous tea party allies would soon have to choose between triggering the first partial shutdown in nearly two decades — or coming away empty-handed from their latest confrontation with Obama.

Undeterred, House Republicans pressed ahead with their latest attempt to squeeze a concession from the White House in exchange for letting the government open for business normally on Tuesday. "Obamacare is based on a limitless government, bureaucratic arrogance and a disregard of a will of the people," said Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind.

Another Republican, Rep. Darrell Issa of California, reacted angrily when asked whether he would eventually support a standalone spending bill if needed to prevent a shutdown. "How dare you presume a failure? How dare you? How dare you?" he said.

Apart from its impact on the health care law, the legislation that House Republicans decided to back would assure routine funding for government agencies through Dec. 15. Under House rules, the measure went to the Senate after lawmakers voted 248-174 to repeal the medical tax, then 231-192 for the one-year delay in Obamacare.

A companion measure to assure U.S. troops are paid in the event of a shutdown passed unanimously.

The government spending measure marked something of a reduction in demands by House Republicans, who passed legislation several days ago that would permanently strip the health care law of money while providing funding for the government.

It also contained significant concessions from a party that long has criticized the health care law for imposing numerous government mandates on industry, in some cases far exceeding what Republicans have been willing to support in the past. Acknowledging as much, Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., said that as a conservative he had often found during Obama's presidency that his choice was "between something bad or (something) horrible."

GOP aides said that under the legislation headed toward a vote, most portions of the health law that already have gone into effect would remain unchanged. That includes requirements for insurance companies to guarantee coverage for pre-existing conditions and to require children to be covered on their parents' plans until age 26. It would not change a part of the law that reduces costs for seniors with high prescription drug expenses.

One exception would give insurers or others the right not to provide abortion coverage, based on religious or moral objections.

The measure would delay implementation of a requirement for all individuals to purchase coverage or face a penalty, and of a separate feature of the law that will create marketplaces where individuals can shop for coverage from private insurers.

By repealing the medical device tax, the GOP measure also would raise deficits — an irony for a party that won the House majority in 2010 by pledging to get the nation's finances under control.

The Senate rejected the most recent House-passed anti-shutdown bill on a party-line vote of 54-44 Friday, insisting on a straightforward continuation in government funding without health care-related add-ons.

That left the next step up to the House — with time to avert a partial shutdown growing ever shorter.

For a moment at least, the revised House proposal papered over a simmering dispute between Speaker John Boehner and the rest of the leadership, and tea party conservatives who have been more militant about abolishing the health law that all Republican lawmakers oppose.

It was unclear whether members of the rank and file had consulted with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has become the face of the "Defund Obamacare" campaign that tea party organizations are promoting and using as a fundraising tool.

In debate on the House floor, Republicans adamantly rejected charges that they seek a government shutdown, and said their goal is to spare the nation from the effects of a law they said would cost jobs and reduce the quality of care. The law is an "attack and an assault on the free enterprise and the free economy," said Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas.

Democrats disagreed vociferously. "House Republicans are shutting down the government. They're doing it intentionally. They're doing it on purpose," said Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland, as Republican lawmakers booed from their seats on the floor.

In the Senate, there was little doubt that Reid had the votes to block a one-year delay in the health care program widely known as "Obamacare." The device tax seemed trickier, since 33 Democrats joined all Senate Republicans in supporting repeal on a nonbinding vote earlier in the year. But aides said both House-passed proposals would be rejected in a single vote.

The 2.3 percent tax, which took effect in January, is imposed on items such as pacemakers and CT scan machines; eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids and other items are exempt. Repealing it would cost the government an estimated $29 billion over the coming decade.

If lawmakers miss the approaching deadline, a wide range of federal programs would be affected, from the national parks to the Pentagon.

Some critical services such patrolling the borders, inspecting meat and controlling air traffic would continue. Social Security benefits would be sent and the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs for the elderly and poor would continue to pay doctors and hospitals.

The new health insurance exchanges would open Tuesday, a development that's lent urgency to the drive to use a normally routine stopgap spending bill to gut implementation of the law.

On the vote to repeal the medical device tax, 17 Democrats sided with Republicans. Two Democrats supported the delay in the health care law, and two Republicans opposed it.

Weeper Boehner Gambles His Political Future!

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) can't keep his party together.

Once this guy represented my neighborhood. A man who has dedicated his life to being an elite. John Boehner is the current Speaker of the House. He is the main Republican leader. He is at odds with the extremist wing of the Republican Party over his handling over issues.

So in order to win their support, he'll go forward into the political suicide mission of his speakership.

The Republican House members voted in support of cutting the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) of $39 billion in an attempt to punish the middle class in the poor struggling in the sluggish economy. Food stamps are a part of the safety net and racist right are celebrating a victory.

Clearly it's not going to pass the U.S. Senate and it faced the veto of President Barack Obama.

Instead of passing serious laws like gun control and immigration reform, the Republicans are back at the bottom of the barrel looking for that pickle in the brim. This latest attempt of trying to cut spending isn't a smart idea.

The Republicans seriously believe the poor are the reasons for the economic turmoils.

Unapologetic as they are, they vow to defund Obamacare. They clearly have no chance in hell to repeal or defund the healthcare law. The Republicans are in a civil war with one another. The Republicans are fearing a public backlash to the possibility of losing the House in the Midterm elections.

These political suicide moves doesn't stop the cameras from rolling on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and the remaining members of the Republican Party. These Republicans are part of the Tea Party movement.

The Tea Party Movement is struggling for survival. If they can't get Obamacare defund or repealed, then its conservative outreach will sit out the Midterms.

When you look at the situation, I figure that Republicans are seriously concerned about food stamp fraud and the misuse of them. That's fine. I mean there are some who sell food stamps for drugs. But for the millions of Americans who depend on food stamps when the food prices are high, the fuel prices are high and the cost of living going up, those few who take advantage of the system is just 8%.

A measly 8% of the food stamp users are exploiting for fraud.

This gridlock will be the death of Congress. They're polling very unfavorably. I am guessing Congress job approval is at 14%.

The Republicans already lost an election this year. Why are they continuing the same path to failure?

Speaker John Boehner represents parts of Southwestern Ohio. His district is heavily favored for Republicans. The speaker's district includes Troy, Springfield, New Carlisle, Eaton, Greenville, Oxford, Hamilton, Middletown, Tipp City, and his hometown of West Chester.

His leadership is ranked unfavorable. Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat who was a Speaker herself did more as a leader than this guy.

It's an embarrassment for Ohio to have a lawmaker who cries in public events. It's an embarrassment for Ohio to have a lawmaker in high power fold to the extremists.

It's reasons to why it's important to send the racist right Tea Party back into the dustbin of history.

Conservative Outrage Over An Averted Crisis In Syria!

I bet President Barack Obama's memoirs will include his disgust for Republicans standing in the way of progress.

The president dodged a crisis in the Middle East. The United States and Russia have made a compromise with Syria to give up its chemical weapons. The world can rest easy, there's no international war.

The crisis in Syria is an ongoing issue. The country is in the brinkmanship of a civil war. Weapons of mass destruction were used in the harming of innocent people.

The Associated Press reports that United Nation weapon inspectors have determined that 14 events occurred with chemical weapons.

Bassar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin.

The United States found out about this and was none to happy. America was on the brink of throwing their weight into the matter. Many people were concerned that American troops would be on the ground in Syria. That wasn't the case. The military were going to do strikes on chemical weapon facilities and air bases to cripple any attempts by the Syrian government to move weapons to a "safe heaven".

President Barack Obama warns the Syria leader Bashar al-Assad that if he doesn't get the ball rolling, the United States may strike.

To the "America First" crowd, they think it's a sign of weakness from President Barack Obama.

Their new hero of the conservative movement is Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin.

The conservatives should have some love for the Russian leader. He cheated an election to get back into power. He placed himself into involvements that he had no business meddling in. He is staunchly anti-gay, and signed off some of the nation's most discriminatory laws towards the LGBT residents of Russia.

He's hosted the Olympics and the people cheered for that.

Over here in the United States, conservatives are freaking out the president's handling of a crisis.

The two most annoying legislators on television. The senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham constantly whine on GOP Sundays about the president's handling in Syria.

Like this would be the umpteenth time conservatives would outrage over an issue that involve President Barack Obama. They've freaked out over the Olympics. They freaked out over the healthcare law.

They've freak out over a child prayer, a Lifeline phone, asking Congress to get approval for force, letting the ball get into Putin's court, and adverting a crisis overseas.

They've freaked out over his reelection, the sequester (they've cheered for), his daughters taking a vacation, him taking a vacation, him at the golf course, Michelle Obama's healthy food policies, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, his birth certificate, and winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

If I didn't know better, I think the conservatives are reacting because of race!

Nah, it's just his policies. There's no jobs. People are lazy. America is losing its grip on being the world's superpower.

This is how Republicans think! They want to see the first Black president fail.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Michigan), Congressman Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas), Congressman Pete King (R-New York), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Congressman Tom Price (R-Georgia), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), and numerous agitators in the conservative media have overheated their rhetoric.

They wanted a war in Syria. But since this was Obama, they don't want to support him.

The bonehead Congress. Michele Bachman, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell and Mike Lee are Tea Party members who say some dumb ass shit. McConnell is the minority leader of the Republicans in the U.S. Senate. McConnell is shyster who panders to the right because he's facing a tougher primary this time.

They're upset that the president would have taken us to war. They're upset over the president letting the UN and Russia settle the matter without a weapon being used or a foreign soldier being killed.

The apparent strategic deal to stop the Syrian military from using chemical weapons is like a sign of weakness.

Even though in a war, there's no good guys or bad guys. It's just a lot of weapons and a whole lot of dead bodies.

Conservatives are a headache. Republicans are on the slow walk to political suicide.

Trying to defeat the first Black president is going to rile up Black and Hispanic voters. I bet ya, that if this continues on, I bet the Democrats may rally a stronger turnout to beat back the Republicans again.

And this example of the president adverting a crisis shows how desperate the conservatives are to tarnish his legacy. These individuals are brainwashing their gullible supporters into thinking the president isn't do something or doing too much of something.

I am satisfied that the president used his muscle to get Russia to take control of this.

Why should we be the police man of the world?

We have enough problems over here without another war.

We don't want to end up doing the Bush Doctrine in Obama's name.
