GOP Senator: Lindsey Graham Is A "Bro With No Ho!"

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) (right) apologized for sexist remark about presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

With friends like these....Who needs enemies?

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is running for president. He is a pro war candidate. He believes that President Barack Obama's foreign policies ruined relationships with the 51st State of Israel. He believes that radical Islam is worse than racism in his own state.

He believes that if he charts the right plans, he will be the nominee. He believes that Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are extremely incompetent. He already got the endorsements of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and former Joe Lieberman.

He's in his early 60s and lives in Charleston. He serves with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). Scott is the first Black senator in a long time to be elected in the South. He was appointed by Nikki Haley, the Republican governor to serve the remaining term of Jim DeMint, who resigned to become president of the Heritage Foundation. Scott and Graham are diverse in two ways.

Scott is Black. Scott is Republican. Scott is single. But Scott is straight.

Graham is white. Graham is a Republican. Graham is single. Graham is running for president. Graham is being question for his sexuality.

Many Republicans whisper that Graham is openly gay but remains confident that his sexuality will not be used as a weapon for the election.

Graham said that his sister could be the First Lady of the United States. He said that he could have a rotating first lady if necessary. He said that all the first ladies from Michelle Obama to Nancy Reagan are glamorous. He skipped Hillary Clinton. He must have forgotten that she was a first lady.

He's still obsessed with Benghazi and the server.

Enter Mark Kirk. The Illinois senator who survived a stroke is one of the very few "bipartisan" lawmakers in Washington. He is known to tell some funny jokes.

One joke fell flat.

Kirk was caught on camera telling the junk food media about Graham's wasted effort. He believes that Graham has a chance but he felt that it's not worth it. After he's a "bro with no ho".

That comment lit the internet on fire. Kirk had to face a few days of harsh criticism. He would later apologize by press statement and personal apology.

Graham is not offended. But I guess he knows that Kirk isn't supporting his bid.

Okay, the Democrats hope to recapture the senate. They have a difficult path to cross. Republicans have control of both the House and Senate. The south is nearly void of Democrats.

It's going to be a long time before the south can finally elect a Democratic senator.

But in the meanwhile, the Democrats hope to retake Wisconsin and Illinois. Two senators know the risk. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) are the two most vulnerable in the 2016 U.S. Senate race.

So far I have Wisconsin as LEAN REPUBLICAN and Illinois as a TOSS UP.

Kirk will possibly face a Democratic nominee who may be more stronger this time around.

Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) is a double amputee Iraq war veteran. She hopes she could shake the nut out of the tree. Duckworth is a two term congresswoman who beat insurgent Joe Walsh in the 2012 election.

Stallmigo Tom Cotton (R-AR) one served one term in the U.S. House before he took an opportunity to run for U.S. Senate. Cotton, a former Iraq war veteran went on to beat Mark Pryor in 2014.

Kirk's mishaps could help Duckworth secure an easy victory.

Republican Compares Obama To A Zonkey!

Zonkey is a hybrid of a donkey and zebra.

Anonymous complained that it was those Democrats who were the real racists. Anonymous would leave a handful of comments telling us about the far right domestic terrorist group the Ku Klux Klan being started by Democrats.

Anonymous would say that if the gubmint was a plantation, the Black folks were enslaved by it.

GOP Chair Apologizes for Calling Obama 'Zebra-Donkey' Hybrid in Newsletter
Click here to see the offensive newsletter.
Oh, that was Cliven Bundy. That's the repetitive word vomit you would see in your comment sections from those so called "compassionate conservatives".

Oh we care about the BLACKS, the ILLEGALS and the MUSLIMS says Republican lawmakers.

But if you cared about the minorities, why are you always forwarding those goddamn emails depicting America's president to an animal?

I understand "YOU GUYS" love to hide the bigotry! You claim those LIBS love to silence your "Freedom Of Speech".

Americans Against The Tea Party is my favorite website so far. It covers some of the most stupidest things that comes from racist right.

Winnebago County Republican Central Committee head fucktard sent a email to his fellow fucktards.

[S]aw on the news this week the offspring of a donkey and a zebra, black and white legs, rest all donkey.  Not sure why this is news: now if we can teach him to read a teleprompter, we could have two living creatures the media will fawn over that is part white part black and all a**!
Obviously another stupid fat dumbass Republican.
Well that joke happened to reach the junk food media and thus led to the apology:

I would like to offer my sincere apology to those who were offended, and I regret including this item in the newsletter. In the future, it most certainly won’t happen again.

Yeah, they say it now! How many other times has they let this slip?

Obviously in the age of President Barack Obama, every joke comparing the first Black president to an animal or something that's not his title, is very funny!

I guess he couldn't figure out how many monkeys were in the White House!

Former GOP Congressman Acting A Like A Racist Fool!

Ex-Republican congressman acting a fool yet again! The dead beat Joe Walsh wants Blacks to achieve his dream of being out of the hood and into serving his buddies at the table.

Former Congressman Joe Walsh, the one term Republican from Illinois makes even more noise outside of the beltway.

He was defeated by Democrat Tammy Duckworth, a double amputee military veteran. She is the first Asian American woman from Illinois to serve in the U.S. congress. 

He is one of the many known Republican assholes who open mouth insert foot and part of their ass in. 

He is annoying. Just like Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas) and Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California).

Even out of the public limelight requires a former member of Congress to at least show dignity.

Apparently, the dead beat can't stay out of trouble. He can't keep his trap shut about race in America.

Is this what the Republican Party represents? 

Apparently so! 

Because this is what they think of the Black community, President Barack Obama and others of non-color.

They can line up the Black tin soldiers of the conservative media and racist right. Wind them up and make them move around and speak their two pennies of ignorance on behalf of the Black community.

He's some talk radio agitator in Chicago. Apparently he's gearing up for Savage Weiner or King Hippo's position when they croak. He're his version of an "I Have A Dream" speech. Prepare yourselves for the vomit bag.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. 

Unless you've been living under a rock, you should know that today is the anniversary, as over the last week, every columnist, pundit and cable news host has been emphatically asking if Dr. King’s dream has been realized. 

In the build-up to this momentous occasion, many people have invoked King’s legacy to promote their own various causes. Yesterday, President Obama was asked by morning radio host Tom Joyner what King would think of Obamacare. 

The president quickly responded that King, “would like it.” While our commander-in-chief usurped King’s dream to selfishly promote his own legacy, our country’s race-baiter-in-chief, Rev. Al Sharpton is using this week to push back against the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling to strike down parts of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. 

Of all the commentators who have been  asking whether King’s dream has been achieved, FOX News’ Juan Williams seems to be the only one with whom I agree. When asked by Chris Wallace if the dream has been fulfilled, 

Williams noted that there isn't, “any question that [African Americans] have come along way,” before importantly pointing out that blacks have to address the problems that are created within their communities. 

“I think that if you look at the realities of today, you've got to talk about things like family breakdown,” Williams said. 

“You've got to talk about the fact that 70 percent of black children today are born out of wedlock. I think Dr. King would cry.” 

I agree with Juan, but instead of invoking King’s legacy to lament about present problems I’ve decided to share my own dream. 

I have a dream that all black parents will have the right to choose where their kids attend school. 

I have a dream that all black boys and girls will grow up with a father. 

I have a dream that young black men will stop shooting other young black men. 

I have a dream that all young black men will say “no” to gangs and to drugs. 

I have a dream that all black young people will graduate from high school. 

I have a dream that young black men won’t become fathers until after they’re married and they have a job. 

I have a dream that young unmarried black women will say “no” to young black men who want to have sex. 

I have a dream that today’s black leadership will quit blaming racism and “the system” for what ails black America.

I have a dream that black America will take responsibility for improving their own lives. 

I have a dream that one day black America will cease their dependency on the government plantation, which has enslaved them to lives of poverty, and instead depend on themselves, their families, their churches, and their communities.

Hey Joe, do me a favor! Take care of them five kids! You're "unemployed" and you can't raise them children. You're a 50 something year old White guy. How the hell can you say that Black women are unmarried and having children when you were twice divorce and owing the government hundreds of dollars for failure to appear and child support? 

You and Allen West need to take a seat and go back to the abyss. The Tea Party is dead.

There's a reason to continue the march for progress and prosperity. It's because of people like him. He's the reason why I conclude that Republicans are the condescending bigots the left points them out to be.

Keep lining up these clowns up and we'll be having a circus.

This is a reason to defeat the Republicans in the midterm elections.

GOP: You Sandy Degenerates Ain't Getting Relief!

Even Hurricane Sandy is a partisan event!

That's not what the Republicans are saying, but that's how they're reacting to the proposals that gives relief to those who suffered devastating since Hurricane Sandy hit the Atlantic coast in October.

We're beginning 2013 with the same bunch of stupidity and gridlock caused by the Tea Party who stood up for their "principles" against big spending.
Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) stalling hurricane relief.

Conservatives are so fucking stupid. They are stalling progress only to piss off President Barack Obama.

The Republicans are infighting with one another over relief! Republicans who represent areas hit by Hurricane Sandy are angry with members of the Tea Party stalling passage of the relief bill that the U.S. Senate passed December.

Most Americans want higher taxes on the upper income, Republicans to work with President Barack Obama, reasonable spending cuts, reasonable gun control, relief to disaster victims, responsible immigration reform, no cuts to defense, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps and farm aid.

How come this stuff fails to sponge inside the heads of Republicans?

They fear the repercussions of the conservative base. Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, The Drudge Report, Grover Norquist, The National Rifle Association, The Club For Growth, and The Heritage Foundation are powerful forces in the Republican Party. They've been weaken after the president won reelection. So in order to gain ground, the conservatives want an all out purge of moderate Republicans.
Congressman Pete King (R-New York) is angry at members of the Republican House for stalling Hurricane Sandy relief. King is a controversial politician. A notorious Islamophobe, King sponsored bills that discriminated against Muslims. 
Over eight weeks since Hurricane Sandy devastated New Jersey, New York and New England, many Americans held back on spending. The East Coast represents 1/3 of the economy. Those living on the Atlantic coast control most of the spending in retail. Retail spending went down and that impacted economy.

Even though many entertainers and charity organizations managed to obtain donations, the need is great.

Republicans can't spare the funds to repair those who were hurt by such destruction.

Many members of New York's U.S. Congressional Delegation slammed Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and many other Republicans for killing the vote on Hurricane Sandy relief.

"This is absolutely indefensible," said Republican Congressman Peter King of New York on the House floor Tuesday night. "We have a moral obligation to hold this vote."

The fiscal cliff votes show a strong rift within the Republican Party.

As the 113th Congress begins, Republicans are going to decide on the fate of House Speaker John Boehner, the Republican Ohio Congressman who managed to vote in favor of the proposal that raised taxes on those who make over $400,000.

Boehner who rose to the top spot after defeating Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-California), America's first female Speaker of The House. He and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) rank very poorly among the American public.

President Barack Obama was ranked the most admired politician by Gallup. His job approval is averaged at 54% at the close of the 112th Session of Congress.

Keep Screaming!


President Barack Obama's growing frustration with Congress eases with an executive order giving them and federal workers a slight increase in pay. The fiscal cliff/debt ceiling debate continues and it's likely they'll come up with a compromise.
The phony outrage machine is cranked up once again for the agitators of the online world. Conservatives and some liberals are scoffing the idea of the president issuing an executive order giving Vice President Joe Biden, all federal workers and members of Congress a pay raise.

By the way, many states are going to raise their minimum wage rates as January 2013 begins.

Conservatives are screaming that federal workers shouldn't be entitled to any raises whatsoever!

Shame though, these same individuals would punish the mail carrier, the FBI agent, a member of the military, the TSA worker, the IRS agent, the National Park ranger, a member of National Archives and numerous others for getting a pay raise.

The 112th Congress by far was the least productive. Republicans and the Tea Party have "stuck" to their principles and ended up sinking their job approval into the low.

As of March 27, 2013, federal employees will see a half-percent to one percent pay increase, marking the end of a pay freeze that has been in place since late 2010. Congress hasn't seen a pay raise since 2009.

This Executive Order will make Vice President Joe Biden's pay increase from $225,521 to $231,900 a year, before taxes. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will see his salary increased to $224,500 and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) will take home an annual pay of $194,400 after his raise.

Congressmen and senators make $174,000 a year and will see an extra $900 in their annual pay packages before taxes next year.

The Hill Reports that the order is issued as President Barack Obama and Congress work to reach a deal on the "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and spending cuts set to begin in January.

Unless Congress acts within the next few days, more than $500 billion in tax increases and spending cuts will take effect in January, and the fiscal shock would likely cause a new recession.

By law, Congress cannot get a larger increase in salary than the adjustment given to federal workers.

President Barack Obama proposed that workers get a 0.5 percent pay increase last year and wanted it to take effect on January 1. In September, the president agreed with Congress to delay the pay increase at least until the expiration of a continuing resolution funding the government at the end of March.

Federal workers have been laboring under a two-year pay freeze ordered by President Barack Obama in December 2010 to try to reduce spending. Congress has not seen a pay increase since 2009.

Here's a solution to all these agitators concerns: How about you fools stop wasting your energy keystroking on the internet! Take action and run for Congress. I mean if you so tired of Washington, DC, and the antics of both political parties, vote them out or run for the office.

I mean you can't do nothing if you're sitting on your lazy ass complaining about how it's "all Obama's fault" and never yours!

My Honest Opinion Of The Tea Party And Republicans!

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), House Speaker, Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Congressman Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) are scorned by the public according to most polls. The Republican Party's stubborness and bitterness (likely racist) campaign against President Barack Obama has caught up and people are tired of it! 
As the sequester (fiscal cliff/debt ceiling) debate continues with neither side willing to sacrifice for the sake of the nation, we here at Journal de la Reyna continue to keep you informed! The nation is gripping for a tax hike and possible spending cuts that may eventually take our country into another recession. Gun control is front and center as a result of the Sandy Hook shooting. Each of these important issues are taking either the backseat or thrown inside of the trunk when it comes to Republicans. I want to share my honest opinion of the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement in general.

I can't stand them. I am very frustrated with Republicans, conservative agitating and the extremism.

By far this 112th Congress is the least productive in history. This is also the first Congress since 1947 in which a member of the Kennedy family has not served, as well as the most politically polarized Congress since Reconstruction, with record low approval ratings. This ties the 80th Congress of 1947 when Republicans took control during the times of President Harry Truman. The 80th Congress was nicknamed the "Do Nothing Congress" by President Harry Truman. The Congress opposed many of the bills passed during the Franklin Roosevelt administration. They also opposed most of Truman's Fair Deal bills. Yet they passed many pro-business bills. During the 1948 election Truman campaigned as much against the "Do Nothing Congress" as against his formal opponent, Thomas Dewey.

The very same thing only 63 years later. The Republicans gridlock Congress in order to sabotage President Barack Obama. When the 2012 election came forth President Barack Obama was at low job approval ratings, but by the end of his term, he ended up winning reelection against perennial loser Mitt Romney.

GRIDLOCK EVEN THOUGH REPUBLICANS LOST!

It doesn't sink in their empty heads that they've lost the presidential election. It doesn't sink in their empty heads that they barely hold control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is still in Democrat control. The Republican leaders are looking even more worse. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky, Minority Leader) and Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio, Speaker of The House) are now ranked unfavorably by a majority of Americans. It doesn't sink in their empty heads that most Americans want higher taxes on the rich, Mitt Romney to go away, and the Republicans to work with the president.

The Republicans are more Whiter and less moderate.

As the president wraps up his first term, his second term will begin with the very same idiots who screwed up the country. The president will continue to have his policies or nominees stalled or blocked by constant obstruction. Republicans agitate this debate that it's our current president's fault for the economy tanking.

Clearly wiping away the history of a two termed president who allowed the country to go into two wars. A president who allowed tax cuts for the rich go forth without paying for them. A president who raised the debt ceiling more than 8 times without much obstruction. A president who took us into The Great Recession.

That allow a Democratic senator become the President Of The United States. And during his first term, Republicans seemed willing to work with the new president. This new president allowed members of the House and Senate come to the White House to eat with him, watch movies and travel on his plane. This new president allowed Republicans come to the table on issues to jump start the economy. It took a conservative agitator and a cable news channel determined to see that this new president fails.

They didn't want no part of this new president's agenda.

So what do these Republicans do?

They create this Tea Party movement. This movement is based off of phony patriotism, bitterness and a strong hatred of the first Black president.

Now of course, not all Republicans are racists. There are reasonable members of the national party. But as of today and for the majority of this new 113th Congress, Republicans are by far the most extreme!

This week alone brings us to the finale of the debate.

It's now at least 25% chance of Congress passing a law that stops the fiscal crisis that may loom in the coming month.

As far as the Republicans are concerned, they've stood up for their principles! Their principles will destroy the nation and President Barack Obama is willing to tarnish them for sabotaging the economy.

Republicans aren't willing to support their own ideas. The Tea Party bucked Speaker Boehner last week.

They're trying to invoke fear in the Democrats. The Republicans and their allies are targeting Democrats and Republican members who support gun rights but support legislation that offers reasonable gun control. They are already focused on taking Democrats in politically Republican states.

They want to line up political novices such as Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina), Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former governor Jeb Bush and others as the 2016 Republican presidential nominee.

They want to blame President Barack Obama for the mess he inherited from the Bush Administration.

They couldn't give him four years to get things done. Most of his agenda was stalled or caught in gridlock.

Although historical laws were passed and signed by President Barack Obama, the Republicans wasted no time trying to repeal them. They've wasted taxpayer money passing symbolic legislature repealing Obamacare. They've spent a majority of Congressional funds to defend the Defense Of Marriage Act, a controversial law that defines marriage between man and woman, slightly outlawing gay marriage.

There were many reactions to the possible government shutdown with some saying the economy could be hurt during a fragile recovery and others saying the lack of an unnecessary bureaucracy would not be noticed. There was also criticism that while senators and representatives would continue to get paid others such as the police and military personnel would either not be paid for their work or have their payments deferred.

VALUES MATTERED!

Again I personally don't care what these people do in their private lives. But since these guys promote themselves a family values and upright citizens, one is to believe these guys are serious about family values!

No. Not one bit!

These so-called "family values" members of the Republican Party were partying like rock stars. Recently Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Virginia. Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-Tennessee) admitted he had an affair on his second wife and the mistress had an abortion after he learned the woman was pregnant. Congressman Ben Quayle (R-Arizona) was defeated in a primary by Congressman David Schweikert (R-Arizona). Quayle and Congressman Kevin Yoder (R-Kansas) have took their clothes off and dived into the Dead Sea in Israel. They created a sex scandal. Republican Arizona sheriff Paul Babeu was caught in a gay scandal with his former boyfriend being an illegal and the sheriff being a hardline extremist on border security.

Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich both natives of Georgia ran for president. Cain, a perennial candidate for higher office and talk show host once ran restaurants. Cain brags about turned around struggling Godfather's Pizza. Gingrich, a former Congressman and later House Speaker now does speaking tours and promoting books. Both are not family value candidates. They've both had numerous affairs on their wives. Gingrich dumping two wives to be with his current wife Republican operative Calista. Cain, a married man himself, kept his wife out the spotlight. His wife is a life-long Democrat and was likely to vote for the president. He had admitted to having an affair with three women, one filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against him.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a famous actor ran for governor in 2003 as a Republican. Many conservatives and even some Democrats wanted the actor to win. And he won easily. He served the remainder of Democrat Gray Davis' term and easily won reelection. During his time as governor it was revealed that he had an affair with the nanny of Schwarzenagger and wife Maria Shriver's children. The former governor father a child who is about the age of his youngest son. Shriver, a news reporter and reality television celebrity. She is a decedent of the Kennedy family by mother Eunice (nee Kennedy). The couple recently had a divorce.

Mark Sanford, then governor of South Carolina was a hard line family values politician. It was revealed in 2009 that the governor left the United States to have an affair with an Argentina news reporter. His wife, Jenny is trying to rebuilt her tarnished image by running for political office. Sanford, himself wants to claim the seat that Tim Scott held before he was appointed as a senator.

Joe Walsh, an outgoing Illinois congressman is a deadbeat parent. He has the nerve to attack single women such as Sandra Fluke. He speaks ill of Black voters and their overwhelming support of the president. Walsh had the nerve to attack a veteran who is disabled. His opponent Tammy Duckworth is a double amputee combat veteran and Walsh treated her as a some degenerate! He was handed a defeat. He was a defiant in defeat. John Ensign was a Nevada senator. He resigns because he was caught in an affair and had his parents bail him out!

TOKENS PLEASE!

Republicans prop up Black, South Asian and Hispanic members like trophies. Republicans flex their color card with Tim Scott, senator from South Carolina, Herman Cain, South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, Allen West, outgoing congressman from Florida, Marco Rubio, senator from Florida, New Mexico governor Susana Martinez, Raúl Labrador, congressman from Idaho and Ted Cruz, the new senator from Texas.

These extremists prop themselves as "freed" slaves off the "Democrat Plantation".

Republicans online and sometimes in the general public make ridiculous assertions about being the party of Civil Rights legislation in the 1960s. The Republicans were a minority in Congress during the 1960s and they managed to court the conservative Moral Majority! They constantly bothered President John F. Kennedy for being too liberal and meddling in the affairs of White people. After President Kennedy was assassinated, his successor President Lyndon B. Johnson took control of the agenda. They nominated extremist Berry Goldwater, a senator from Arizona to take the helms of the Republican Party. They push forth this narrative that the New Deal was a failure, the Great Society is "big government" run amuck, and the Black Civil Rights leaders were trouble makers!

Republicans didn't want part of Johnson's agenda. In their distorted minds, they claim that without their help, they wouldn't have passed historic laws that ended segregation.  They continue to beat up on former Vice President/media mogul Al Gore's father and the late senator Robert Byrd for stalling Civil Rights laws of the past.

This current Congress managed to stall Civil Rights legislation for Hispanics by refusing to pass the DREAM Act. The Republicans look at Blacks as dependent on welfare, entitlements and vote only on race! Instead of wondering why these growing minorities are supporting Democrats, the Republicans are trying to pass laws that restrict minorities and the poor from voting.

THE GREAT CULTURE WAR!

The Defense of Marriage Act was passed in the 1990s after the Republicans pressured President Bill Clinton into signing the law. The law was pushed in with tax increases. The laws is discrimination against same sex couples. The law is on the docket in the Supreme Court.

The Republicans want NPR and PBS to lose public funds. The Republicans want Planned Parenthood to lose funding and women to not have preventive healthcare.

The Republicans want to end labor unions by passing legislation that restrict collective bargaining rights. They want to maintain legislation that keep wages low and productive activity high.

The conservative agenda spreads into businesses like Chick-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, Papa John's and Denny's want to punish the working class for supporting President Barack Obama.

Fox News, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, The Drudge Report, and Andrew Breitbart worked overtime on culture war issues. They rallied against the Obama administration and had people fired. These ridiculous conservatives grabbed their cameras and ran into the poor neighborhoods of America to find a Black person to make the case against the president. They interviewed a woman in Ohio and she says "I get a Obama phone!" This lit up the internet of hate and Republicans wanted to have this become a rally cry for ending the safety net for poorer Americans.

They were up in arms over Fast & Furious and Benghazi incidents. They tried to damage Attorney General Eric Holder and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice. They want them marched out of Washington, DC in handcuffs. They want to see the president impeached for tragedies such as these since firearms were used in these tragedies. But when real tragedies occur such as Sandy Hook and Aurora movie shootings, the Republicans rather allow this continue because these infringe on "their rights" as Americans to own firearms.

Even though most want issues to be solved, Republicans are the only ones standing in the way of progress!

SUMMARY!

The Republicans would rather see the economy tank in order to blame President Barack Obama for the crisis.

The Republicans wrapped their asses around American flag in defense of these silly culture wars.

The Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement are reactionary bigots. These bigots harbor hatred of minorities, the lower class, the middle class, the working class, independent women, and the LGBT community.

The Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement have issues a person's with race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings.

The Republicans are determined to defeat the president at any cost.

The Republicans and their conservative allies are the racist, sexist, Islamophobic, homophobic, condescending, pain inducing morons that the Democrats and liberals paint them out to be.

And today and probably for the most part, I will no longer support Republicans and their conservative allies.

I hope you understand that this time it's personal!

Chi-Town 500+

Chicago reached a grim milestone.

Say what?

Yeah, Chicago, Illinois has lost over 500 members of its beautiful city this year. The city has reached its infamous milestone. Over 500 murders or homicides this year alone.

We're experiencing an epidemic of tragedy because of the rapid gun violence in the third largest city in the nation.

Mayor Rahm Emmanuel can't control the ongoing feuds within infamous street gangs.  

The president has to deal with this domestic terrorism in our communities. 

Gang violence is a danger to young Black and Latino males. Once you become a member of a street gang, you live by their rule or die by their rule. You gotta survive to eat! You got to make it in before you get in!
The Chicago Tribune reports that metro police confirmed that homicides were up 17 percent over last year in Chicago and shootings had increased by 11 percent, according to police statistics. Earlier this fall, Chicago already exceeded the number of homicides that occurred last year, but this is the first time the city has had 500 or more murders since the 512 in 2008.

Largely contributing to the spike was the unusual number of homicides that occurred during the early part of the year, when the city experienced unseasonable warmth. In the first three months of the year, homicides ran about 60 percent ahead of the 2011 rate.

Police stated that gang violence reduction strategies the department adopted this year have slowed the increase in violence.
Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy are trying to curb gang violence.
There's been too much violence by firearms. The Democrats are proposing legislation that may curb high power firearms. The National Rifle Association dismisses this as a threat upon the freedoms of law abiding firearm owners. 

In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, many are calling for reasonable gun control. Although the House of Representatives will never allow passage of this bill, President Barack Obama and the Democratic control senate will continue to push the message that Republicans are obstructionists to progress. In the wake of a tragedy, Republicans would rather continue to allow dangerous firearms in the hands of individuals who may capable of carrying out mass shootings.

When things happen in Chicago, Illinois, Republicans and their conservative allies are rooting for Blacks and Hispanics to kill each other off! The Republicans attack President Barack Obama for ignoring a crisis in one of America's cities. They'll find reason to say that this reminds them of the president saying that these gang members are like "[Trayvon Martin] being was one of his sons!'

Gun rights for White people and gun control for Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims. They want control over us, but never control over them. You see how Republicans act when it comes to serious issues like taxes, the sequester and debt ceiling. They portray themselves as the condescending idiots most Americans see them as! And it's not pretty. Republicans aren't focused on issues such as gun control. They worship the ground walked on by assholes like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Grover Norquist, Matt Drudge. They want to get good fitting on Fox News or standings with the National Rifle Association. 
Territory.
Conservatives can't understand that the people of Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Philadelphia, St. Louis, New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta are just as American as they are! They rather react to gun violence when it happens in the suburbs not the cities.

That's probably why it's a long way til we get to the promise land. 

A reminder to those reading, violent street gangs are domestic terrorist. They're no different from the White extremist who contributes to a mass shooting or racially-theme rant on the changing demogrpahics of our nation.

John Boehner Can't Get His Own Party Together!

Republican leader tears up after PLAN B comes up short of votes. Republicans playing with the fiscal cliff and it's going to have causalities. Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio) may go down in history as one of the worst Speakers ever!
The Ohio representative who is the current Speaker of The House has been boxed in by President Barack Obama. The fallout over taxes has Republicans scrambling! The Republican leader has to make a tough decision. As Washington prepares to go over the fiscal cliff, Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio, Speaker of The House) has to make tax rates go up for those who made over $250,000. Tonight, his own Republican House members aren't going to any tax increases, regardless of the situation.

President Barack Obama's honeymoon period began after he won reelection. The president's job approval is at 56% according to the Gallup Poll. This matches May 2011 when the president announced that he ordered the successful mission to kill Osama bin Laden. This is the final year of the president's first term but it seems like it's his second term already! The unprecedented gridlock even after the elections has the public souring on the Republicans. And the slim majority in the House of Representatives may be lost if this stuff continues.

Boehner for his part tried to limit the tax rates. He wanted to raise taxes on the millionaires and not those who make $200,000 to 1 million. President Barack Obama was sliding into that direction. Republicans have not supported this nor the president's plan. The fiscal cliff is rounding down to less than nine days and the Republicans have piss off a majority of the American people.

Mitt Romney lost! Republicans barely have control of the House of Representatives. The public want the rich to pay more. The public doesn't want cuts to safety nets. The public want reasonable cuts into the safety nets.

The Republicans and their conservative allies are going to be blamed.

The president is getting tired of the games being played over the debt ceiling and fiscal cliff. He already played his hands and Boehner is shaky. On top of that, his own Republicans are screwing him.

Tonight's pull of the so-called "PLAN B" of raising rates on millionaires is just too much for even Republicans to swallow. Now we're four days away from Christmas and it's likely the president and Congress will be in Washington during this period.

"The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass," Boehner said in a statement. "Now it is up to the president to work with Senator Reid on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff. The House has already passed legislation to stop all of the January 1 tax rate increases and replace the sequester with responsible spending cuts that will begin to address our nation's crippling debt. The Senate must now act."

Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada, Majority Leader) ordered all members of the senate to stay in Washington until this is done. Boehner will likely do the same if the Republicans continue to hold back his proposals.

This is a reminder to why it's important that you don't support Republicans! This is a bunch of bitter ass old White people who continue to screw the nation up because of their hate of a Black president. Some members of the Tea Party Caucus are so screwed up! They don't even see that this gridlock will be their downfall. This playing with the country's economy for partisan purposes hurts the nation.

Republicans fear Rush Limbaugh, Grover Norquist, Matt Drudge, Fox News, World Net Daily, the Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, and the National Rifle Association. The Democrats are putting in their spine and are likely going to be more aggressive against these foes.

Boehner may not have the gavel for much longer if the Republicans continue to be an obstruction to him and the president.

Allen West Got The Pinkslip!

Congressman Allen West (R-Florida) is defeated in the 2012 U.S. Election. He joins Senator Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts), Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri), Congressman Connie Mack IV (R-Florida), and Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) as defeated members of the Tea Party/Republican Party.
You can't believe everything, but tonight Congressman Allen West (R-Florida), the first African American Republican in years to be elected was clobbered in the 2012 U.S. Elections.

He joins Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois), Congressman Connie Mack IV (R-Florida) his wife Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack (R-California), Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri), Senator Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts) as defeated incumbents.

Congressman Steve King won his congressional seat in Iowa. Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann barely won her congressional seat. They'll continue to be the controversial figures in the Tea Party movement.

Mitt Romney's defeat trickles down to the Republicans.

The Republican Party will now do some soul searching.

Yes, we'll hear the negative crap from the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Michael Savage.

Yeah, the Republicans still have the House of Representatives. But the Democrats control the United States Senate.

Mia Love and Congressman Scott DeJarlais (R-Tennessee) are controversial figures in the election. The race is close for Love, Utah's first Black Republican candidate. Scandal plague DeJarlais won reelection after a heavy carpet bomb of Democratic ads.

More details as they come forward.

GOP Senate Candidate Says It's God's Plan For Rape Victims To Get Pregnant!

Indiana Republican senate candidate Richard Mourdock under fire.
The Todd Akin scandal spreads into Tennessee, Illinois and now Indiana.

The Tea Party backed Richard Mourdock has put himself in the soup! The Indiana state treasurer beaten longtime moderate Senator Richard Lugar (R-Indiana) after Republicans were pushing for more conservative candidates.

Now it's apparently that this "War on Women" stuff is real. The Republicans are trying to meddle in women's legs and a same sex couple's bedroom!

Mourdock was told by the Republican National Committee to tone down his rhetoric in the conservative leaning state. After he said that he wasn't willing to work with Democrats if the Republicans take control, it caused his opponent to catch up with him. The state trends Republican and it's likely a victory for the controversial candidate Mourdock. He's facing Congressman Joe Donnelly (D-Indiana) for the seat. The seat is a toss lean Republican.


The Christian Science Monitor reports that during a Tuesday debate between Asked whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest, Mourdock said, “I struggled with myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something God intended to happen.”

After the debate, Mourdock clarified his remark, saying that rape is a horrible thing that he does not believe is itself part of a divine plan.


President Barack Obama carried the state in 2008, but it's unlikely he'll carry this state in the general election.

Mitt Romney is embroiled in another scandal that has him flip-flopping even on an endorsement.

Just this Monday, Mitt Romney put his full endorsement of a candidate who said it was "God's will" that rape carries should carry pregnancy. Now the nominee is putting heavy distance between himself and the embattled Republican.

When Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) said his comments about women reject rape, that lit up the internet. The Republican National Committee at first didn't put a dime into his campaign. Mitt Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), the vice presidential nominee have called upon the candidate to resign. Akin refused the call and continued on. The Republican is trailing in polls against embattled Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri). The race is leaning towards the Democrat.

Then a Tea Party endorsed Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-Tennessee) had revealed he had an affair with a patient when he was then a physician. He urged the woman to have an abortion to save his marriage. DesJarlais ran on the notion as a pro-life (even in case of rape) candidate. That has the Democrats scrambling to assist the challenger Eric Stewart, a Democratic state legislator.

Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) is taking on perennial Tammy Duckworth, a military triple amputee veteran. The Congressman has knocked the president's supporters as being degenerates. Called Sandra Fluke a "loser" who gained fame on "whining". And now talking about abortions, Walsh wrote:


"When it comes to having an abortion to save the life of a mother, I will say again that, outside of the very rare circumstances such as ectopic pregnancies, during which both the mother and baby will die if the baby is not aborted, and other rare health issues, the research is pretty clear that with the advances in modern medicine, an invasive and traumatic procedure like an abortion is not necessary to save the life of a mother.

In those very rare cases where a mother's life may be in danger past the point of viability for the baby, today's doctors work to induce labor or perform a cesarean section in an attempt to save BOTH lives. These cases are extremely rare, and they unfortunately are used by the militant pro-choice movement to justify every single abortion."

Walsh corrected his stance during a radio debate against Duckworth.

Now we know that Rush Limbaugh started the fire and now Republicans are adding gasoline on it! It's like the Democratic Party is moving to the right and the Republicans are moving off the planet.

Seriously, why are people concerned with other people's bodies and sex lives?

I don't like abortions, but I don't stop a woman from making a choice for her body! That's a decision that is not only an emotional experience but also traumatic!

I don't think the state or federal government should have a right to intervene in a person's right to choice.

Weak Tea?

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) could be defeated!
The Tea Party was crushed by the Establishment! They nominated the Establishment candidate Mitt Romney as their leader and now voters have a chance to vote for him or President Barack Obama in the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election.

Merely three years ago, hundreds of protests began in February 2009 on the whims of conservative outrage to the first Black president. They've masqueraded their crusades against the president based on claims of massive spending, taxes and socialism.

Things that portrayed a "NIGGERIZATION" of the first Black president. Spawned by online activism and borrowed from Congressman Ron Paul's (R-Texas) supporters came the Tea Party movement. The first massive Tea Party movement started in April 2009 and was sponsored by the conservative Fox News Channel and its then lead agitator Glenn Beck.

Signs were aplenty and controversy was there. From comparisons to Hitler to pictures with bones in President Barack Obama's nose, the Tea Party was dubbed by its foes as the last remnants of racism in the modern history. While the Tea Party roundly dismissed this, they've brought on Black, Hispanic, Asian and even gay activists who were supporters of the Tea Party. They were the stooges to a growing movement in a sea of White faces.

They were pushed by Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska. She was dubbed the "Tea Party maven" or the "Mama Grizzly" of the movement. She spawned activism and became the voice of the movement in 2010.

Her endorsements of Minnesota Republican congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Joe Walsh, Allen West, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Kristi Noem, Scott Brown, Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Paul LaPage, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Pat Toomey, Nikki Haley and others. Some made it to the governor's chair, the state house, the U.S. House, and the U.S. Senate.
Counting the days! Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) is facing a tougher election this time.
Their most biggest rallies were in April 2009 when it started. In 2010, the Democrats passed historical healthcare reform, the Republicans and Tea Party were standing on the lawns of the U.S. Capitol shouting and threatening the Democratic members as they cast their votes.

In 2010, the Republicans won control of the House of representatives, state/territorial governorships and the voice of the American people.

Now in 2012, the Tea Party is hardly mentioned. The signs and protest are gone. Sarah Palin is barely mentioned in the news. It seems like even forefront members like Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Glenn Beck, Herman Cain, Dick Armey, Christine O'Donnell, and even Fox News were caught off guard by this. They were beaten by the Establishment.

The Establishment (or moderate Republicans) were the thorn in the Tea Party. The moderates were willing to help President Barack Obama when it came to major legislation. The Tea Party wants none of that.

Senator Richard Lugar (R-Indiana), Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and then senator Bob Bennett of Utah were defeated by a Tea Party backed candidate. Congresswoman Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio), Congressman Don Manzullo (R-Illinois), and Congressman Cliff Sterns (R-Florida) were defeated in GOP primaries.

They were sent home even though they're highly conservative members of the House of Representatives.

Now it's likely the Democrats dream of winning back the House is far fetched. They have to build a new coalition of progressive, moderate and even slightly conservative members willing to sacrifice their principles for the good of the country.
Congressman Sean Duffy (R-Wisconsin) is working harder to keep his seat. The former reality television star is among some of the Tea Party endorsed candidates who are facing tougher elections this time!
They couldn't have a strong majority when you got members who side with Republicans on issues that could roll back progress. The Democrats have more party switches than Republicans nowadays.

Artur Davis, a former Alabama congressman who served as a Democrat reemerged as a conservative Black Republican. He was the only Black legislator from a deeply conservative state such as Alabama.

Democrats hope that the Tea Party mishaps could bring fortune! Already we had Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois), Congressman Allen West (R-Florida), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Congressman Sean Duffy (R-Wisconsin), Congressman Don Young (R-Alaska) having tougher races. They could be defeated.

The real prize is getting Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) out! She's a prime target for defeat by a stronger Democratic challenger.

We'll see in the coming days.

But anyways, please vote early.

VOTE NOW!

Help put Barack Obama back into the White House!

GOP Candidate's Son: Send Obama's Ass Back To Kenya!

Jason
U.S. senate candidate Tommy Thompson is doing damage control after his son invoked birtherism. 
That was unraveled by progressive groups this weekend when the son of former Wisconsin governor and 2008 presidential candidate Tommy Thompson said that offensive comment about President Barack Obama.

Perennial candidate Tommy Thompson is like Mitt Romney in a way. He's a moderate Republican. He was a one of the longest serving governors of the state. He knew how to build bridges as moderate Republican in a Democratic state. He served as Bush's secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services. And he wanted to be the President of the United States. He ran for president in 2007. He managed to get out early after polls showed him trailing badly against Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and Mitt Romney.

He's running for an open U.S. Senate seat being vacated by longtime member Senator Herb Kohl (D-Wisconsin).

He faced a tough primary against a former congressman, a state House speaker and millionaire hedge fund owner.

The most conservative opponent Mark Neumann, the former congressman was the most suitable candidate by right wing members Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania). Thompson managed to outspend him and eventually won the nomination.

Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) is his opponent. She came from behind and is leading in some polls. If elected she will be the first openly gay woman to serve as a member of the U.S. Senate.

That has the Republicans investing money in this state.

Current governor Scott Walker was an embattled Republican. After he stripped collective bargaining rights from the public sector unions, the people of Wisconsin fought back against him. They managed to help the Democrats take control of the Wisconsin state senate and recalled a few state senators and judges. They tried to recall Walker but it failed. Walker won the election and became the rally call for the Tea Party and embattled Republicans. It also gave him, Romney and his running mate Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) a boost in the state. Ryan was picked as the vice presidential nominee by Mitt Romney. It put Wisconsin in play. A state that's longtime been a Democratic stronghold is now a toss up!

President Barack Obama's job approval is the upper 40s and lower 50s as of right now! The unemployment rate has went to 7.8% this month and Republicans are in denial.

So in the past couple of weeks, Romney and Ryan have plans on taking Wisconsin away from the president.

Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) is running for retiring U.S. Senator Herb Kohl (D-Wisconsin). If elected she will be the first openly gay woman to be seated as Wisconsin's newest senator.
The state is leaning towards President Barack Obama, but slightly. Matter of fact, according to Real Clear Politics, 10 states that were easy Democratic holds are either leaning or toss up. That has Republicans with the winds in their sails.

Romney has gained a small lead in the national polls. And that has the president's campaign team on the defensive. Vice President Joe Biden stellar performance at his only debate has stopped the bleeding of the disastrous performance by the president at his first debate. The president's strategy is to win early voters and encourage younger and minority voters back to the polls. That's so far working, but not a big as his 2008 victory.

Overall, Wisconsin U.S. Senate race is toss up leaning towards Baldwin. So far Thompson's lackluster appeal to conservatives has him struggling for some much needed fundraising. Baldwin has outraised the former governor in 2:1 ratio.

This week also marks another chapter in the NIGGERIZATION of the president.

Tommy Thompson's son Jason made some offensive comments at a Republican fundraiser that Mitt Romney can send President Barack Obama back to Chicago or rather Kenya Africa!

"We have the opportunity to send President Obama back to Chicago - or Kenya," said  Jason Thompson, a private attorney and son of U.S. senate candidate Tommy Thompson.

This was in the presence of the Republican national chairman, fellow Wisconsin native Reince Priebus.

Jason Thompson's comment about Obama prompted laughs from the crowd, with one woman jokingly adding, "We are taking donations for that Kenya trip."

The Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal reports that For years, a fringe group of Obama critics has promoted the discredited "birther" argument that the first-term Democratic president was not born in the U.S. Though Obama's father was Kenyan, the White House released Obama's birth certificate last year showing he was born in a Hawaii hospital on Aug. 4, 1961.

Also speaking at the Kenosha event were Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Brad Courtney. The video was taken by Democratic Party operative and posted at BuzzFeed Politics early Sunday evening.

Jason Thompson, 38, has been actively involved in his father's bid for an open U.S. Senate seat, representing the campaign at some events. Running against Thompson is Democratic congresswoman Tammy Baldwin of Madison.

A Baldwin spokesman declined to comment on the video.

At an evening news conference in Wauwatosa, the former four-term governor - known for committing his share of verbal gaffes over the years - initially deflected a question from No Quarter about the video.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Thompson said.

About an hour later, however, Thompson's staff sent an email addressing the controversy.

"The Governor has addressed this with his son, just like any father would do," said the campaign statement. "Jason Thompson said something he should not have, and he apologizes."

Priebus and Courtney did not return calls.

During the same Sunday news conference, Thompson had his own slip of the tongue when talking about his Democratic opponent.

A reporter asked Thompson about Baldwin's statements Sunday at the Jewish Community Center in Milwaukee, responding to allegations that she has flip-flopped on imposing sanctions on Iran.

Thompson called Baldwin's explanation "the lamest excuse I've ever heard." He then went on to call her "anti-Jewish."

Only later did he backtrack when the same reporter asked him if he meant what he said.

"She's anti-Israel," he clarified.

Back in 2007, Thompson had to apologize for telling a Jewish group that earning money was "part of the Jewish tradition." He made the remark to the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism while running unsuccessfully for president.

Dead Beat Congressman Knocks Sandra Fluke!

Rep. Joe Walsh in a file photo speaking in Washington, D.C. in May 2012.
Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) makes light of the Sandra Fluke controversy. He knocks her for making an appearance at the Democratic National Convention.

Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) never ceases to amaze me. He and a portion of the Republican House members are so far in the extreme, they don't even care who they attack. They're not concerned about the repercussions of their harsh words. They are welcomed with open arms with groups such as the John Birch Society, the National Rifle Association, The Heritage Foundation, Brotherhood Of A New Destiny (BOND), VDare and Family Research Council.

The Republicans are knee toed to radical extremists. They dog whistle the angry White male who is likely to cause a mass shooting in a town somewhere. And of course, Walsh, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri), Congressman Allen West (R-Florida), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and even vice presidential nominee Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) pander to the most asinine human beings to ever exist in this country.

Women's rights activist Sandra Fluke
Sandra Fluke, the featured speaker at the Democratic National Convention is once again a target of conservative ire. The Tea Party endorsed candidate for reelection is trying to win a seat that's competitive.

Republicans are trying to eliminate the negativity.

Congresswoman Bachmann, Congressman West and of course Congressman Walsh are going to be written off based on how the redistricting kind of put them in heavier Democratic districts.

Fluke was attacked by Rush Limbaugh, Monica Crowley and Bill O'Reilly based on her advocacy for birth control being paid by private companies.

Fluke is engaged to her boyfriend and is a legal assistance attorney.

Walsh is a first term Congressman who won in 2010. Marred with controversy, Walsh has said themes that come off as extreme. He recently settled his legal woes with his former wife and mother of his children. He was ordered to pay $110,000 in child support. Also Citizens for Responsible and Ethics in Washington (CREW) calls Walsh one of the most corrupt politicians to be elected to office.

Walsh speaks at a gathering in Addison, Illinois. He knocks Fluke for being an "entittled" 31 years old college student. He told her to "get a job" and "stop taking from those hardworking Americans!"

This buffoon criticized Black voters for their overwhelming support for President Barack Obama over former governor and perennial candidate Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee.

Crash Course!

                           
    8.1% 
    FED SET TO PUMP 




Ok, the conservatives are going to cry foul. 

The job reports are out and now we're seeing a modest improvement. The Labor Department has reported that 96,000 jobs were created in the month of August dropping the job rate to 8.1% 

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Conservatives will think the books are being cooked to help President Barack Obama win reelection. The progressives will say that jobs are here and the president is delivering. The only thing standing in their way is Republican obstruction.

Republicans and Democrats will debate over the remaining term trying to pass an extension of the national debt, another jobs bill and making tougher decisions to keep the economy rolling.

Now as for the Drudge Report's siren, it's a trademark of a juicy story sponsored by the conservative agitator. He rang the alarm signaling the conservatives that there's something big or something deceptive about this one!

President Barack Obama is an embattled president. He just finished his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. He acknowledged that the path to the future isn't solved in four years. 

Mitt Romney is the weakest nominee for president.

The Republican has crafted himself as a successful business executive (not a former governor and perennial candidate for higher office). He leads in the national polls as the best one to handle the economy. But his poll numbers are sliding downward.

He maintain his stance as a effective problem solver and yet he hasn't put forth policies that could match or better the embattled president. He has been practicing for the national debates where he could use a backdrop of failed policies or controversies such as the job report to hammer the president.

Congress is at is worst. The Republican-led House of Representatives hasn't achieved much of their goals. They've pass the infamous Paul Ryan Austerity Bill only to be stopped by the Democratic-led Senate. The President's job package is passed by the Senate but halted by the House. Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) is the vice presidential nominee of the Mitt Romney ticket. He's a longtime fixture in Washington, DC. He hasn't really produced much until his rise in late 2010. 

Congress job approval is at a record low of 10% according to Gallup.

President Barack Obama is right now feeling a convention bounce which could tip him over the watermark of over 50% in the coming days. But it will decrease very soon. The issues of high gasoline prices, still unemployment is over 8%, the debt is over $16 trillion and the war in Afghanistan are dragging him and Congress down.

Mitt Romney wanted to be a Washington insider for most of his political life. He's failed. His only bright side to the issues that the world is facing, is the fact that Romney is a new face to Washington.

Even though he's long been out of office, Romney thinks he could be the best one! 

President Barack Obama urges patience. The country is on the right path. The constant obstruction from his political rivals stalled progress and the American public should know this.

If it wasn't for the third rail, I guess he would be more effective.

Update: Republican nominee Mitt Romney stated that the unemployment drop in simple fashion. 'If Last Night Was The Party, This Morning Is The Hangover'.

The White House released a statement saying that there's sign of modest growth in our economy.

Did GOP Congressman Sink His Senate Bid?

Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) is under fire for comments about rape victims. The comments gave Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) an opening.  
Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) is the most vulnerable member of the U.S. Senate. Her state highly disapproves of her and President Barack Obama. A major swing state, it's trending more redder. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) carried the state by just a point. The Republican candidates who are running for the U.S. Senate are hoping the bad economy and President Barack Obama's job approval could be the ticket to reclaiming the Senate.

Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) won the Missouri GOP primary and will be the one running against McCaskill.

Akin is a Republican member of Congress since 2001. His district covers the suburban St. Louis County.

Akin won a bitterly fought primary against two other candidates, one rival being endorsed by Tea Party maven former governor Sarah Palin. Akin wasn't endorsed by Palin, but managed to win over Missouri Republicans.

Akin who is a pro-lifer said something over the weekend that may have gave a struggling McCaskill the break she needed.

Republicans emboldened by the culture wars have finally taken its toll. Akin being a representative of the culture war, said something inappropriate about rape victims and the media has zeroed in on it!



According to Talking Points Memo, a progressive blog, his opposition to abortion rights even in case of rape with a claim that victims of “legitimate rape” have unnamed biological defenses that prevent pregnancy.
Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) has distanced herself from President Barack Obama. She is facing a tougher reelection this year.
“First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in an interview posted Sunday. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin said that even in the worst-case scenario — when the supposed natural protections against unwanted pregnancy fail — abortion should still not be a legal option for the rape victim.

“Let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work, or something,” Akin said. “I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”


A 1996 study by the American Journal of Obstetricians and Gynecologists found “rape-related pregnancy occurs with significant frequency” and is “a cause of many unwanted pregnancies” — an estimated “32,101 pregnancies result from rape each year.”

In a tweet, McCaskill said she was “stunned” by Akin’s comments.

After the interview caused a firestorm, Akin said in a statement that he “misspoke.”

Akin is perhaps the boldest among a crop of conservative 2012 nominees who could hamper GOP efforts to take back the Senate in the fall. Akin has called for an end to the school-lunch program and a total ban on the morning-after pill.

His claim about “legitimate” types of rape is not completely foreign to the current Republican Congress, however. In 2011, the House GOP was forced to drop language from a bill that would have limited federal help to pay for an abortion to only victims of “forcible rape.” Akin was a co-sponsor on the bill.

Nor is this Akin’s first time suggesting some types of rape are more worthy of protections than others. As a state legislator, Akin voted in 1991 for an anti-marital-rape law, but only after questioning whether it might be misused “in a real messy divorce as a tool and a legal weapon to beat up on the husband,” according to a May 1 article that year in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

GOP Congressmen Skinny Dip Overseas Causing A Sex Scandal!

Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor are walking from the White House. The Republican leaders are angry at members of the Republican caucus for a sex scandal overseas. They fear the media will cover this instead of the message of bringing stability to the economy.
This is going to be the buzz of the week. Just like the U.S. Secret Service, our members of the U.S. Congress are to handle themselves accordingly when overseas. The Republican Party once again has to defend its actions by its freshmen members of Congress.

The Politico released a bombshell. And this bombshell will have more ammunition for President Barack Obama to go after Congress for ineptness. The Republican controlled House of Representatives has passed legislation that could roll back the progress that the president sought. With a slim majority in the U.S. Senate, the Democrats can't achieve the 60 votes needed to block filibusters. The Republicans are hoping the mood of the economy will be their winning strategy.

The FBI probed a late-night swim in the Sea of Galilee that involved drinking, numerous GOP freshmen lawmakers, top leadership staff – and one nude member of Congress, according to more than a dozen sources, including eyewitnesses.

During a fact-finding congressional trip to the Holy Land last summer, Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-Kansas) took off his clothes and jumped into the sea, joining a number of members, their families and GOP staff during a night out in Israel, the sources told POLITICO. Other participants, including the daughter of another congressman, swam fully clothed while some lawmakers partially disrobed. More than 20 people took part in the late-night dip in the sea, according to sources who took part in the trip.

The FBI looked into whether any inappropriate behavior occurred, but the interviews do not appear to have resulted in any formal allegations of wrongdoing.

But Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who was the senior most GOP lawmaker in Israel on the trip, was so upset about the antics that he rebuked the 30 lawmakers the morning after the Aug. 18. 2011, incident, saying they were distracting from the mission of the trip.

Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was also on the privately funded excursion, which means two of the three top Republicans were a part of this trip. Neither Cantor nor McCarthy went swimming that night, the sources said. Some of their staff did.

The account of that Aug. 2011 night in Israel was pieced together for the first time by POLITICO based on interviews with more than a dozen sources, including eyewitnesses, as well as public records of the trip.

A Cantor spokesman confirmed that the majority leader dressed down his Republican colleagues and that a staffer was later interviewed by FBI agents.

“Twelve months ago, [Cantor] dealt with this immediately and effectively to ensure such activities would not take place in the future,” said Doug Heye, Cantor’s deputy chief of staff.

Heye added: “Last year, a staffer was contacted by the Bureau [FBI], which had several questions, the staffer answered those questions and that appears to have been the end of it.”

The FBI’s questions focused on who went into the water that night, and whether there was any impropriety, according to multiple sources.

The American Israel Educational Foundation, a group related to AIPAC, the prominent pro-Israel advocacy group, sponsored the trip, which ran from Aug. 13 to Aug. 21, 2011. The trip cost AIEF upwards of $10,000 per person, according to records filed with the House Ethics Committee. More than 60 people took part in this AIEF trip.

These trips to the Holy Land are a rite of passage for members of Congress, as they visit the most sacred sites in the Jewish and Christian faiths – while their Israeli government hosts drive home the huge importance of U.S. support of Israel. That’s partially why, when the trip devolved into drinking and merrymaking, Cantor was livid.

In a Congress that has already sunk to new lows in public-opinion polls, and seen a bipartisan wave of scandals, this latest controversy could only further damage that image. Since the start of the 112th Congress, former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) resigned following the revelation that he was sending naked pictures of himself to women he met on the Internet. Former Rep. Christopher Lee (R-N.Y.) quickly left office after he was caught sending a topless photo of himself to an online acquaintance. Former Rep. Christopher Wu (D-Ore.) stepped down after an “unwanted” sexual encounter with the daughter of a long-time friend. 

Former Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) resigned after having an extramarital affair with the wife of an aide and then trying to cover it up.

On the Israel trip that included the late night swim, the group of lawmakers on Aug. 18 departed the posh David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem for Tiberias, a historic seaside town located on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. On the night in question, the GOP group checked into Scots Hotel, where rooms could run up to $1,000 each night. At 8:45 p.m., they headed to Decks, a popular restaurant located on the sea, according to an itinerary filed with the House Ethics Committee.

As dinner was winding down, Cantor and McCarthy left the restaurant, but the most of the other lawmakers and staff stayed behind, and the drinking continued, according to several sources who attended the dinner.

After what they describe as a “long, hot day,” more than 20 lawmakers and senior aides decided to jump into the sea, sources said. Some went in wearing all their clothes, although others partially undressed.
Yoder removed all his clothes, the only person to do so, according to multiple sources.

Senior aides also jumped into the Sea of Galilee. They include: Steve Stombres, Cantor’s chief of staff; Tim Berry, McCarthy’s chief of staff; Laena Fallon, Cantor’s former communications director and Emily Murray, McCarthy’s top health care aide. Kristi Way, a top Cantor staffer, was also on the trip.

Few offices responded to requests for on-the-record comment about the incident. However, numerous Republicans discussed what occurred on the condition of anonymity.

Some of those present took photographs of the group right after the late-night swim, sources said.

After the lawmakers and staff returned to the United States, FBI agents questioned congressional staff about the trip, specifically about what happened in Tiberias.

The FBI declined to comment on its probe, saying its standard policy was not to comment on such matters.
