Kevin McCarthy: I Promise I Won't Cry When I'm Speaker!

Does Kevin McCarthy have the juice? 

Soon I will add Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to the list of many here on World News Today. The California congressman who became a rising star since the departure of Eric Cantor is thinking about becoming the next House Speaker.

K-Mac is the Republican Majority Leader. He represents the 23rd U.S. Congressional District of California. The district carries Bakersfield, a large city with a population of 376,000 residents.

The current district is centered in areas of the southern San Joaquin Valley and southern Sierra Nevada, the Tehachapi Mountains, and the northwestern Mojave Desert. It includes the cities of Mojave and Ridgecrest, as well as most of Bakersfield. Sequoia National Park and Sequoia National Forest are within it.

If he's picked to become the new Speaker, he will have a lot of work ahead of him. He will face an already invigorated President Barack Obama. Obama has won the summer.

Obamacare survived another Supreme Court challenge. Marriage equality is valid in the all states and territories. The Iranian deal will go into effect. Cuba and the United States are establishing friendly relations. Planned Parenthood will not be defunded.

Conservatives are demanding Republicans stand firm against Obama or face a primary challenge.

The president promises that anything the Republicans pass will fail. He concludes that the Republican civil war is damaging the party and hurting the country. The party has become more extreme in their views.

Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) the outgoing Speaker of the House blasted the insurgency. He believes that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) are false prophets. He believes these politicos are fucking stupid.

He announced on Friday that he's bouncing out of Congress effective immediately. In late October, Boehner will give up his role as the House Speaker and representative. He basically said to Republicans, "Fuck you! I'm Out! Good luck on getting things done with Obama!"

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may become the new House Speaker. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) were Speakers of the House. President Barack Obama believes Republicans infighting causing government shutdown.

Boehner's congressional district is up for grabs. Insurgents are looking to replace him, A right wing bigot sheriff named Richard Jones is considering a run for the seat. The Butler County Sheriff is willing to take his anti-immigrant, anti-BlackLivesMatter rhetoric to Washington, DC.

McCarthy on the other hand is hoping the Republicans will give him a chance. The insurgents are really happy with picking McCarthy as the new House Speaker.

Matter of fact, Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) is plotting to derail McCarthy's coronation.

The insurgent lawmaker announced his bid to become the speaker as well.

The insurgent and establishment are showing teeth. The departure exposed some real bad tension between Republicans.

Kevin Owen McCarthy (born January 26, 1965) is the House majority leader of the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. representative for California's 23rd District.

A Republican, he was formerly chairman of the California Young Republicans and the Young Republican National Federation. McCarthy worked as district director for U.S. Representative Bill Thomas and in 2000 was elected as a trustee to the Kern Community College District. He then served in the California State Assembly from 2002 to 2006, including from 2004 to 2006, as the minority leader. When Thomas retired from the House in 2006, McCarthy ran to succeed him and won the election.

The 23rd district, numbered as the 22nd District from 2007 to 2013, is based in Bakersfield and includes large sections of Kern and Tulare counties.

McCarthy was elected House Republican chief deputy whip, from 2009 to 2011, and House majority whip, from 2011 until August 2014, when he was elected House majority leader to replace the outgoing Eric Cantor, who was defeated in his primary election.

Peter King: Boehner Gave These Assholes Everything!

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said that the "crazies" are running the Republican Party.

The New York Republican is not mincing words to the shocking announcement of Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) stepping down as Speaker of The House in October.

He said that the Weeper of the House gave Republicans everything. They can't pass laws when the Democrats block them. And knowing you can't get everything you want, the insurgency refuses to concede.

The insurgency pissed Boehner off. He gave them the finger. On his way out, he said behind closed doors "Fuck all of ya. I'm out! Good luck on getting your agenda accomplished with Obama!"

Basically the departure of the Weeper is a good/bad thing. For my community, a really bad thing. Boehner, despite his blubbering and immature outburst is really popular in the Dayton and Cincinnati metro area. His departure left a seat open for an insurgent or Democrat to take. It's unlikely a Democrat could win a politically Republican district. The 8th U.S. Congressional District for Ohio is +14 Republican.

The good is Republicans can finally push their extremist agenda and eventually be uprooted out of power.

New blood is bad blood. Already controversy within leadership. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA, Majority Whip) had once worked with former Klan leader David Duke. The potential Speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) will face obstruction from not only Democrats but the insurgency. Current House Speaker, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) bouncing out in October.

At the Voter's Value Summit, as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered the news, the audience stood up and done backflips.

We can confirm that the civil war within the party gotten even uglier.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) went off on the insurgency. “I think it signals the crazies have taken over the party, taken over to the party that you can remove a speaker of the House who’s second in line to be president, a constitutional officer in the middle of his term with no allegations of impropriety, a person who’s honest and doing his job. This has never happened before in our country," King said in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash on Friday. "He could have stayed on.”

Many of Boehner's allies have long complained about things not getting done because of a handful of insurgents who refuse to compromise.

House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) once called Rep. Peter King (R-NY) a "shit head".

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is currently the Majority Leader. He may become the new Speaker.

He will face challenges from the insurgency. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and a handful insurgents vow to disrupt the new speaker if Obamacare isn't repealed or Planned Parenthood defunded.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is shaking her head. She was once a Speaker of the House.

Pelosi managed to get things done despite having the insurgency oppose her. She would be sent to the minority after the Republicans recaptured the House.

President Barack Obama has also spoke out to the news. He said that the party's internal struggles are the reasons to why government isn't working. Obama praised Boehner as a patriot.

Weeper Boehner Abruptly Resigns!

Weeper of the House resigns in late October. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) resigning from Congress sent shock waves across the nation

Today, the Ohio lawmaker informed President Barack Obama and his Republican colleagues that he's resigning as House Speaker. He also will end as a term as a congressman in October. This cause a ripple effect in Washington.

With the most powerful Republican stepping aside, this assures a civil war within the party.

Republicans are solely responsible if they stand firm and shut down the government again.

Boehner blames the conservative agitators in the junk food media as well as them knucklehead insurgents for things not getting done. Some of the rational members are signaling a rebuke to the insurgents.

Boehner's abrupt resignation was quick. He faced pressure from conservative members to take a tougher stance against the president. The Republicans want to defund Planned Parenthood. It's highly unlikely the Republicans got the votes to defund the women's health group.

Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) was emotional during Pope Francis's visit to the Capitol. He was routinely mocked for being a "crybaby" and his glowing "orange tans".

Boehner who was reelected last year won easily in his district. The 8th Congressional District is based in Southwestern Ohio. The 8th district covers West Chester, Eaton, Oxford, Hamilton, Middletown, Troy, Piqua, Huber Heights, western Springfield and Greenville.

He also faced a challenge for his House Speaker role by knucklehead insurgents Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) and Rep. Dan Webster (R-FL).

He also watch his right hand man face an embarrassing defeat. Eric Cantor, Boehner's right hand man was defeated by an insurgent disrupting the chain of command. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) quickly became the Majority House Leader.

Now you know how I feel, Mr. Speaker.

McCarthy is considering the possibility of being the House Speaker. No confirmation yet.

Boehner lives in West Chester. He's been a lawmaker since 1991. He was a the minority leader from 2007 to 2011. Boehner became the House Speaker in 2011 after the Republicans took control over the House of Representatives.

He released a press release to the reason why he's resigning.

"The first job of any Speaker is to protect this institution that we all love. It was my plan to only serve as Speaker until the end of last year, but I stayed on to provide continuity to the Republican Conference and the House," Boehner said in a statement. "It is my view, however, that prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable damage to the institution. To that end, I will resign the Speakership and my seat in Congress on October 30."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) praised Boehner on the Senate floor Friday.

“He is an ally. He is a friend. And he took over as Republican leader at a difficult time for his party," he said.

Boehner's supporters and the top Democratic leaders complained that Republicans are too goddamn extreme. Minority Leaders Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Harry Reid (D-NV) are praising Boehner for at least putting up with such obstruction. But quickly said that a government shutdown is coming and they warn that the ripple effects could hurt the nation.

Reid is retiring from the Senate. He cites his eye injury and Republican obstruction for his departure.

"By ousting a good man like Weeper Boehner -- someone who understood the art of compromise -- the party of Eisenhower and Reagan is no more," he said.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called Boehner's resignation "seismic," adding that it was "a stark indication of the disarray of the House Republicans."

Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) said that Boehner had resigned because he knew that he could lose his position.

"There's no question conservatives had a victory here," he said. Huelskamp is a member of the House Freedom Caucus, the group that was trying to oust Boehner.

But Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) said that Boehner was sacrificing his position for the good of the conference.

"I think that following the pope's visit -- this is sacrificial love on his behalf to strengthen the Republican conference. It's really amazing and unheard of in modern-day politics," he said.

Across town, a group of social conservatives were gathered for the start of the annual Values Voter Summit, where dozens of politicians were scheduled to speak over the next few days. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered the news of Boehner's resignation to the summit to huge cheers and a standing ovation from attendees, underscoring the opposition Boehner often faced from within his own party.

Asked about the resignation, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) skipped over the pleasantries and went straight to criticizing Boehner -- without naming him -- and McConnell for making promises to conservatives and not keeping them. Cruz is running for the Republican nomination. He is a relatively unaccomplished politico. He is cited as one of the reasons to why Republicans are too extreme.

Friends to the end. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) lose two allies.

"I have long said leadership decisions are decisions to be made by the House, but I have also long called on Republican leadership to do something unusual, which is lead,” Cruz said at a press conference hosted by Liberty Institute. “To actually stand up and honor the commitments that we made to the American people. There’s a frustration across this country. It is volcanic. And it’s not complicated to understand.”

Cruz did not give a yes or no answer when asked whether McConnell should step down as well, saying it is "a question for Leader McConnell and for the Republican conference." He said he would "sing their praises," though, if they stood up to lead, referring to Boehner and McConnell.

Twice during a nearly two-hour meeting between Boehner and Republicans at the Capitol on Friday applause could be heard from inside the room.

Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) came out teary-eyed and started choking up when asked what he thought of Boehner's resignation. Cramer said that Boehner recited the prayer of Saint Francis when announcing his resignation to House Republicans Friday morning.

"It's kind of like the announcement of a death," Cramer said.

"A lot of really small people look smaller, and he looks bigger," he said. "And why not, why not let the guy who's always taken all the slings and arrows for us, take it one more time."

Rep. John Flemming (R-LA) said Boehner played his decision close to his vest and that even Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) didn't know about it until the announcement.

Boehner had been scheduled to speak with reporters Friday morning after meeting with Republicans, but left the meeting by a back door and didn't talk to the press.

Conservative Outrage Over NY Times Burning The Bush Out!

Former president George W. Bush was in Selma for historic event. The racist right upset that he was brush out. They're upset that Bush and President Barack Obama interacted with Rev. Perm.

They're outraged because the New York Times couldn't fit the former in.

George W. Bush, former first lady Laura and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) were in attendance, Of course there lawmakers  and agitators were there. The most notable were Attorney General Eric Holder, Rev. Perm, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ).

What got the folks over at FalseVolt, Breitfart, Newsclusters and The Daily Nothing pissed off was the "deliberate" brush out of Bush and McCarthy.

The Times was trying bias to the former and Majority Leader.

Now you know how conservatives look at the media. They would take a foreign source that got its source from an anonymous foreign source over American outlets.

You see how reactionary these people are.

Bush isn't the president. Barack Obama is. They're sworn enemy.

The complaint, courtesy of The Daily Nothing. The Selma March included the president, Rev. Perm, Holder but missing from the photo, though only a few people down to the right, were former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura. The Times also focused quite a bit of their story on the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, even though the local and federal investigations into that event found race had zero role in it and they refused to bring charges.

For their front page, the Times curiously chose a picture that did not show the entire front line of marchers, choosing instead to leave the Bushes on the cutting room floor.

Anyway, I am not wasting too much time covering this. These agitators can't get over the fact that President Barack Obama is in the White House. They hate the fact he's even in there.

It's about RACE not about politics.

The First Family and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) got the front. Conservatives outraged that G.W. Bush got the back.

Republicans and their racist right allies are wasted space in America. Eventually that will be phased out.

The younger generation are tolerant of LGBT, interracial marriage, religious freedom, marijuana legalization and the safety net.

The older generation is what Republicans relish on. They want more looser gun laws, restrictive voting rights, restrictions on women's rights, restrictions on immigration and religious intolerance.

This is why the world should never take American conservatives seriously. They too damn immature.

They can't understand that the media is free. The lefties hate how Loserville operates. But no one is trying to silence them. You have the right to change the channel, avoid picking up the paper, never click on the link or visiting the blog. You have a freaking choice.

Why get upset over a decision you decided to take consideration into?

It's click bait, America.

GOP Leaders Skip Selma!

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma.

The only Republican who is attending is former president George W. Bush. The elected Republicans House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH), Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), Senate Majority Leader Mitch The Turtle (R-KY) and Pro Tempe Orin Hatch (R-UT) are skipping the event.

Even the insurgent Black Republican lawmakers Rep. Mia Love (R-UT), Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) and  Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) refuse to attend.

They're too busy unzipping their pants and letting Benjamin Netanyahu plow his dick in their asses.

They probably planning an attack ad to claim that the president has more time to attend a rally that involves him apologizing for America rather than standing with leaders in France during the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack.

Top Republican leaders on Capitol Hill won't join the largest bipartisan congressional delegation ever in Selma, Alabama, this weekend to mark the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday civil rights march.

President Barack Obama, along with his wife and daughters, will be in Selma on Saturday's anniversary, as will former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush.

It's worth noting that not all top Democrats are planning to be in Selma either.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is going, according to her spokesman, and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer and Caucus Chair Xavier Becerra will also be there, said Rep. John Lewis, the Georgia Democrat who was a leader of the Bloody Sunday march and is heading up the congressional delegation. South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the No. 3 House Democrat, is also going.

But Sen Minority Leader Harry Reid is not going as he recovers from eye surgery, his office said. The second and third ranking Senate Democrats -- Dick Durbin of Illinois and Chuck Schumer of New York -- also won't attend, according to their spokesmen.

On Wednesday, Lewis told CNN 96 members were expected on the chartered flight to Selma and some 15 to 20 more were planning to meet up in Birmingham and Selma, calling it "the largest group ever."

At least two dozen Republicans were expected to be part of that group, according to a congressional staffer.

Asked if he was disappointed more Republicans weren't making the trip, Lewis said, "no, we continue to work and continue to build, we cannot become disappointed."

He said it "certainly" would be helpful to have leaders there to further the discussion on the Democrats' efforts to push for voting protections.

"We will not give up on anyone," Lewis said.

Top House leaders have gone to the annual event before. McCarthy traveled to Selma in 2012 when he was the No. 3 House Republican and then-Majority Leader Eric Cantor attended in 2013. Cantor, who had been a key Republican supporter of efforts to update the Voting Rights Act in the last Congress, lost his primary in 2014.

CNN reports that on the same day last month that the House voted to approve a congressional gold medal for Selma marchers, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) and Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), both members of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2015, a bill aimed at updating and strengthening the law.

In 2013, the Supreme Court overturned a key provision of the Voting Rights Act that required certain states with a history of racial discrimination at the polls to "pre-clear" any changes to the law with the federal government before implementing them.

But there is no indication that House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) plans to take up the legislation to update the law. At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast in January, he said he believed the Voting Rights Act was sufficient as it stands.

"We have continued to study this issue, but to this point, we have not seen a process forward that is necessary to protect people, because we think the Voting Rights Act is providing substantial protection in this area right now," Goodlatte said.

Stewart noted that a delegation of Republican senators is planning to attend, led by Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and including Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions and Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who is a member of the leadership team in the Senate, serving as counselor to McConnell.

And as for Republican potential presidential hopefuls -- none of them will be in Selma either. Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Kent.) office said he will be in Kentucky. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) will be in Iowa participating in an agricultural summit and Sen. Marco Rubio's office did not respond to questions about where he would be this weekend, except to say that he was not traveling to Selma.

Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said that while the speaker will not be in Selma to mark Bloody Sunday, he was looking forward to granting those who marched to Montgomery Congress' highest civilian honor.

"Speaker Boehner was proud last month when the House passed legislation awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to the civil rights marchers in Selma 50 years ago, and will be proud to welcome them to a ceremony in the Capitol to bestow this honor," Steel said.

Both the House and Senate passed legislation in February to grant the awards.

Okay, when you hear those concern troll claim that it was the Democrats that were ones who turned the water cannons on American civil rights leaders, you kindly tell them, "Where are the Republicans now?"

The Democrats nominated and the American people elected the first Black president twice. So it's time to do the walk.....Republicans.

McCarthy and Scott had a change of heart. What about the Weeper and The Turtle?

Weeper's Creepers!

The weeper appears on CBS to bitch about the president.

GOP Sundays continues to be fixture for the Republicans. They appear more than the Democrats.

And on these programs, Republicans are bitching and blaming as usual. They have control of Congress and yet they can't get along. They rely on the Democrats to bail them out of tough spots.

Yet, they appear on these programs to sit the blame on Democrats for "doing nothing" and being the party of "no".

The agitators are discussing the results of CPAC, terrorism and funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

This is by far the worst legislative body to ever hold power. The Republicans are in serious trouble.

The insurgents are not willing to pass legislation without fingering President Barack Obama in the eye. They rather let the country suffer in order to prevent the president from getting things done.

The American people gave the Republicans an opportunity to do things and yet they've already put it in trouble. The junk food media has allowed them to get a pass on most of their stupidity.

The Department of Homeland Security will be funded for a few days.

House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH), Racist Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Douche Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) appeared on the GOP Sunday news programs. Insurgent Jim Jordan (R-OH) was on CNN.

Each of these lawmakers were pointing fingers at President Barack Obama over the possible DHS shutdown.

They are trying to stop the president's executive order on immigration. The extremist wing is trying to prevent nominations and bills from being passed because they oppose the president.

Instead of governance, it's pure politics and utter stupidity from the Republicans.

Boehner appears on CBS with John Dickerson.

GOP House Whip Steve Scalise: My Bad!

Whip up a storm, Steve Scalise got some heat after bloggers unearth the Republican lawmaker speaking at a White extremist rally.

Republican lawmaker from Louisiana who is the current Whip is doing damage control after it was revealed that he attended a conference for White Supremacists.

Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA, Majority Whip) is under fire after a blogger unearthed some damning information about the lawmaker when he was a nobody.

Stephen Joseph "Steve" Scalise (born October 6, 1965) is the current United States House of Representatives Majority Whip and representative for Louisiana's 1st congressional district, serving since 2008. He is a member of the Republican Party and the chairman of the 170-member conservative House Republican Study Committee.

Hey Representative Will Hurd (R-TX), Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) and Representative Mia Love (R-UT), are you going to call out this Republican lawmaker for his past transgressions?

These are the three elected Black lawmakers who will caucus with the Republicans.

Blogger busted lawmaker.

The conservative lawmaker has been in office since a special election in 2008. He was given the job of being the Majority Whip after Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) got a promotion.

McCarthy replaced Eric Cantor after he was usurped by a Dave Brat (R-VA) an insurgant lawmaker.

Scalise in 2002 spoke at EURO, a White nationalist conference held by former Klan leader David Duke.

Obviously, Duke will tell you that Scalise is knee-deep. He knows who went to the conference. And Duke will tell you that the excuses from the lawmaker are bullshit.

David Duke is the professional bigot. He will wear a suit and tie while spreading anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-Latino and anti-Jewish rhetoric.

Scalise repudiated Duke and his organization by saying he was unaware of their beliefs. He was there explaining about the high taxes and government spending. He claims that this was a bad staffing issue and whatever.

In the final day of the year, I will cover the wrap up. This may not make the wrap up but it will make the 2015 list of controversies sparked by the Republican/Insurgent majority.

Since this is a story about race and conservatives, I will not allow comments. I am assured that our regular will find the oranges and sell them as apples.

So instead of giving him an opportunity to word vomit about Democrats, President Barack Obama and others who aren't Scalise, I will post it and not worry about it!

Oh I forgot!

Since that worst conservative agitator is so obsessed with associations,will that annoying agitator call out his good ol' buddy Congressman Steve Scalise's hateful past? Or should we tie this annoying conservative agitator to this?

Thad Cochran Beats Insurgent!

I'll have this order to go. Thad Cochran, U.S. Senator from Mississippi beats the insurgent in a Republican primary run-off election. This race was one of the most closely watched. It would have determined the mood of U.S. Midterm voters.

Could you imagine staunchly conservative Senator Mississippi Republican Thad Cochran beats insurgent candidate Chris McDaniel?

I'll tell you the truth, he won on the power of Democratic voters who happened to be a lot darker than he is.

In a highly contested Republican primary run off the long-term senator Ted Cochran pulled off a victory that was deemed inevitable for the insurgent. A Southern White politico from the most reddest state in the United States will now face another Southern White politico who is just like him only with a Democratic label.

The insurgent rose to fame on the power of the conservative agitators who deemed Cochran too liberal and part of the establishment of Republicans.

The results of the country's most watched Republican races. It was one of the most controversial as well.

Republican Party primary runoff for Mississippi United States Senate election, 2014
Party		Candidate	Votes	%	±%
	Republican	Thad Cochran	190,481	50.9	+1.9
	Republican	Chris McDaniel	183,601	49.1	-0.4
Total votes			374,082	100.00%

The Country Club, Blue Blooded Republicans according to the insurgency have been too willing to work with President Barack Obama and they wanted to stop it.

State Senator Chris McDaniel, a supporter of the insurgency was totally pissed. He thought that his bid for the Republican nomination was a wrap.

I thought it was a wrap after that old fool spoke about abusing animals. Cochran managed to pluck a few extra votes in an apparent open primary.

Under Mississippi rules, all voters, regardless of affiliation, are permitted to vote in the GOP primary, as long as they did not also cast a vote in the parallel Democratic primary. After the embarrassing defeat in the first round of voting, Cochran’s strategists calculated that their best option was to appeal to a broader base of voters, including those who do not usually support the party.

During the primary election, Senator Cochran and State Senator McDaniel received 49% and 49.5% of the vote respectively. Since no candidate received over 50%, there was be a runoff to determine the Republican nominee on June 24, 2014.

In the runoff campaign, Cochran tried to expand the electorate by encouraging independents and Democrats to vote in the runoff. After downplaying the various federal spending projects Mississippi received during his time in office, federal spending has become 40 percent of spending in the State of Mississippi

The Guardian reports that Cochran's influence may have sway Democratic-leaning black voters. Cochran could actually damage the prospects for Democrats in November. Travis Childers a former Democratic U.S. representative is a pro-life, pro-NRA, and anti-Obama candidate.

Say if McDaniel would have won, Childers has the profile that could conceivably win the conservative state in a race against McDaniel, whose extreme views could alienate the business community and more moderate voters.

The insurgent is pissed. He hasn't concede the race and vows to fight in court.

McDaniel has refused to concede to the race. He was very pissed at the outcome. He released a statement.

“We had a dream and the dream is still with us,” said McDaniel to an increasingly vocal crowd, telling them that the fight is not over. “Today the conservative movement took a backseat to liberal Democrats in Mississippi.”

The Politico reports that the crowd at the McDaniel event was equally fired up after the loss, capping off a bitter extended primary fight that pitted the insurgent against long-time establishment candidate Cochran.

Could you imagine, Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY, Minority Leader), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Representatives James Lankford (R-OK, Republican senate nominee), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader-elect) have survive an insurgency sweep?

Representative Eric Cantor (R-VA, Majority Leader) was the only high profile lawmaker defeated in a primary. The only high profile member who managed to be beaten by a weaker and probably more extremer candidate.

Eric Cantor Defeated In GOP Primary!

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia was defeated in Virginia primary.

House Majority Leader, Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia got the pink slip by fellow Republicans. It seems like this is the first major victory of the insurgency.

Tea Party endorsed Dave Brat put an end to the long-term legislator.

USA Today reports Brat, an economics professor at Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Va., had been making an issue of Cantor's desire to pass an immigration bill.

In a sign of Tea Party discontent in Cantor's Richmond-based district, activists booed and heckled the Virginia Republican in March.

Dave Brat will be the Republican nominee for the 7th Congressional District in Virginia.

Cantor was the U.S. Representative for Virginia's 7th congressional district, serving since 2001. A member of the Republican Party, he became House Majority Leader when the 112th Congress convened on January 3, 2011. He previously served as House Minority Whip from 2009 to 2011.

His district includes most of the northern and western sections of Richmond, along with most of Richmond's western suburbs and portions of the Shenandoah Valley. Cantor is the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress in its history, and currently Congress' only Jewish Republican.

Dave Brat beat the majority leader on the whims of being a part of the establishment.

Did you know that love isn't always political?

Cantor met his wife, Diana Marcy Fine, on a blind date; they were married in 1989.

They have three children: Evan, Jenna, and Michael. Fine is a lifelong, liberal Democrat. Contrary to her husband's stated positions, she is pro-choice and supports same-sex marriage.

Well it seems like Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will now have to watch what they do the next go around. They managed to fight off their primary foes. But Cantor, being a highly polarizing figure in the party was shaken out of the tree.

Breitbart's Sexist Attack On Pelosi!

The first woman who became the Speaker of the House is photoshopped to the body of controversial pop star Miley Cyrus. And who's the ones that are so disrespectful towards Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic lawmaker from California?

Take one guess?

The people over at Breitfart News have pushed the bar even lower when it comes to yellow journalism.

They disgrace the name of the racial agitator who made it his life mission to expose the institutional left.

Matter of fact, he should be proud.

ABC News reports The conservative-leaning website Breitfart News took some heat on Monday for a new ad campaign featuring a bizarre depiction of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

The ad features an altered image of the California Democrat over the famous picture of Miley Cyrus “twerking” at MTV’s Video Music Awards last year. Above Pelosi is another picture of Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, made to look like a bodybuilder.

ABC News’ John Parkinson asked Pelosi what she thought of the image.

“It’s so tasteless that I mean, is it even worthy of a question?” Pelosi said. “It’s so undignified.”

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz also released a statement Monday condemning it.

“To say the least, the Breitfart News ad is foul, offensive, and disrespectful to all women,” Wasserman Schultz said. “It is a disgusting new low and would be reprehensible against any woman – regardless of party.”

The website shows the posters being put up all around California. They are part of a campaign to promote the launch of Breitfart California, a new wing of the website devoted to covering the state’s news and politics.

The push features other altered images, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with a female’s body and TV personality Piers Morgan jumping a border.

Just last week, Majority Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., praised the website’s launch, saying it would fill a “void of conservative activism” that was left after the death of Breitfart founder Andrew Breitfart.

“This weekend’s launch of Breitfart California is a testament to his legacy of holding our public officials accountable for their actions,” McCarthy said in a statement. “I look forward to the voice of reform-minded Californians being represented without bias as Breitfart California launches.”

But today, McCarthy was clearly miffed by the photoshopped images.

“The images are inappropriate,” Mike Long, McCarthy’s spokesman, said. “We requested that Whip McCarthy’s piece be taken down.”

Wasserman Schultz urged GOP leaders to “condemn this outrageous behavior, call on Breitfart News to immediately remove the ad, and not continue to use this website as a forum for their views.”

Breitfart News did not respond to an ABC News request for a comment.

Some liberal agitators didn't find humor in this.

Breitbart California’s misogynistic depiction of Nancy Pelosi is disgusting. @GOP should condemn it immediately http://t.co/i82Hr0leTE

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!

Over The Cliff!

Vice President Biden steps in.

Much work is to do to improve the image of Congress. The Senate has passed a deal, that extends the tax rate for upper income earners making over $450 million and hold off spending cuts for two months. The House of Representatives will vote on the package later.

We're over the fiscal cliff! And on top of that, we've reached the debt ceiling. Two whammies!

President Barack Obama will fight another battle with Republicans during the 113th Session.

Under the deal brokered by Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Congress would permanently extend the Bush income tax cuts at $400,000 and below, keep the estate tax threshold at $5 million and extend unemployment benefits for one year.

It would also temporarily delay the sequester -- i.e., billions of dollars in across-the-board spending cuts -- for another two months. The cost of continuing current spending levels will be paid for through an even mix of tax revenue increases and later spending cuts. Half of those cuts will come from defense spending; half will come from non-defense spending.

The deal includes other tax provisions as well: It extends the child tax credit and the college tuition credit for five years, individual and business tax extenders for two years, and the Medicare "doc fix" for one year. The Alternative Minimum Tax will be permanently fixed. The agreement also extends the farm bill for one year.

Notably, the fiscal package does nothing to address the debt ceiling, which the government just hit Monday. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner sent a letter to congressional leaders earlier in the day outlining emergency measures he can take to prevent the government from defaulting on the debt, but those measures will only delay default for a matter of weeks, until right around the time when lawmakers will have to address the sequester again. That sets up another major fiscal fight between the White House and Congress.

The deal still requires buy-in from members of both parties, and Biden was set to meet with Senate Democrats Monday night to try to sell them on the package. That could prove challenging given that key progressive groups, including the AFL-CIO, made it clear earlier Monday that they would oppose any deal that raised the income limit for extending the Bush tax cuts above $250,000.

Still, both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) gave the deal their blessing Monday night in a phone call with President Barack Obama, sources confirmed.

A Pelosi aide suggested that while the House Democratic leader backs the proposal on the table, she isn't completely wedded to it.

"She's been supportive all along," said the aide. "Though if House Dems have serious problems, that could move her."

Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson said Senate Democrats would have preferred to push off the sequester for longer than two months, but Republicans wouldn't agree to that. The deal on the table is "what we could get," he said.

Jentleson lamented that the sequester and the debt ceiling will now need to be addressed at the same time, in a matter of months. "It's a lot to deal with," he said.

UPDATE: Tuesday, 12:39 a.m. -- Vice President Biden's principal argument to Democrats on Monday night appeared to be that this deal was the best that could be negotiated on a bipartisan basis and that while it might not be popular, it was better than going over the cliff.

Coming out of the meeting with the vice president late Monday night, many Senate Democrats conceded they were displeased with aspects of the deal but agreed with the vice president's larger point.

"The disagreement on this provision and that provision and other provisions are large and wide, but the number of people who believe that we should go over the cliff rather than vote for this is very small," said Senator Chuck Schumer (D-New York). "It's not that this proposal is regarded as great or is loved in any way, but it's regarded as better than going over the cliff."

Schumer added that Biden essentially argued that going over the cliff "would be devastating," and he "was very persuasive, but he did not have to do much convincing."

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California) sang a similar tune with respect to Biden's message.

"The argument is that this is the best that we could put together at this time on a bipartisan basis," Feinstein told reporters. "We need a bipartisan basis to get this done so that means compromises on both sides."

Some lawmakers sounded more positive notes. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California) said the deal was good for both her state and the country.

"My main concern here is keeping this economic recovery going, and I think this package does that," she said.

The House GOP leadership also broke its silence on the deal, although Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) stopped short of making any pledges to bring the bill to the House floor if it were to pass in the Senate.

"The House will honor its commitment to consider the Senate agreement if it is passed," read a joint statement issued by Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-California) and Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Washington). "Decisions about whether the House will seek to accept or promptly amend the measure will not be made until House members -- and the American people -- have been able to review the legislation."

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.
