GOP Feuds With Chuck Hagel! | Sour Krauthammer Says Hurricane Relief Is Rape!

President Barack Obama wants Chuck Hagel to be Defense Secretary. Republicans are opposed to the idea. This is a picture of the two when there were senators. Barack Obama was an Illinois senator running for president in 2008. He accompanied then Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel in Jordan.

A twofer!

The 113th Congress is in session. They first certified that Barack Obama won the reelection with 332 electoral votes over perennial loser Mitt Romney 206.

Now that that's out of the way, the president has work to do. First is fill the vacancies in his cabinet and then federal court.

The former Republican Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel is likely to replace Defense Secretary Leon Penetta.

President Barack Obama is going to swing the cabinet around with the departures of Penetta, Department of Transportation Ray LaHood, CIA director David Petareus, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner.

Republicans already signal a fight with the president over these replacements. Senator John Kerry and Hagel are the mentioned as replacements to fill the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense.

Republicans already threaten filibuster over Kerry because of the Benghazi scandal. The Republicans want to have Secretary Hillary Clinton to testify to Congress about her role in the failed security of the Libyan consulate that lead to the deaths of four Americans one being a Libyan ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

Republicans are going to give former senator Chuck Hagel a hard time to be confirmed as well. To make this worst, Republicans deem Hagel a "RINO" because he is endorsed by President Barack Obama. The controversy lingers among the senator's apparent criticism of Israel. Even some Democrats are concerned about this nomination.

The Jewish nation has been a key figure in the conflict over in the Middle East. The nation is conflicting with the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Those factions want to create an independent nation of Palestine, but it's constantly tied up with the United States, Israel and United Kingdom's blocking at the United Nations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a highly conservative leader. President Barack Obama and Netanyahu have a tremulousness relationship to say at least. The prime minister ignores warnings from the Untied States and the United Nations constantly. The areas near Jerusalem are where Israelis want to build settlements (or real estate properties) on the Gaza Strip.

This has been a major conflict and this engages in the unrest of the Middle East.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is a firebrand among the conservatives. He promotes himself as a "fiscally responsible" Republican who will be the voice opposition to President Barack Obama.

Chuck Hagel on one hand said he represents the needs of the American people, not Israel! This lit up the right wing media. They already dismissed him for his endorsement of the president over perennial losers Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and Mitt Romney.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Republicans sharply criticized the selection, promising to question Mr. Hagel on Israel and other controversial views in confirmation hearings by the Senate, which must approve his appointment.

Lindsey Graham, a Republican Senator for South Carolina, on Sunday described the pick as an "in-your-face nomination", telling CNN that Mr. Hagel "would be the most antagonistic secretary of defense towards the state of Israel in our nation's history".

Despite being a fellow Republican who sat in the Senate for the party from 1997 to 2009, Mr. Hagel holds markedly less hawkish views on foreign and military policy than many former colleagues.

The 66-year-old Vietnam veteran endorsed Mr Obama, a Democrat, in 2008, having criticized the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and urging a less gung-ho approach to America's alliance with Israel.

Mr. Hagel also voted against sanctions on Iran and urged Israel to engage in direct talks with Hamas, the militant Islamic group.

Mitch McConnell, a Senator for Kentucky and the party's leader in the upper chamber, predicted that Mr. Hagel would face "a lot of tough questions" from disgruntled Republicans.

 Congressman Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) is a favorite among the Tea Party Movement. Cotton retired as an U.S. Army Captain ran for congress and won. The freshman congressman is likely going to be on the television. Conservatives will push for him to run for president, since he's a rising star.

"His views with regard to Israel, for example, and Iran and all the other positions that he's taken over the years will be very much a matter of discussion in the confirmation process," he told ABC News.

In addition to ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear program, Mr. Hagel is also likely to have to confront sharp cuts in spending on the military proposed by Mr. Obama and opposed by many Republicans.

Ted Cruz, a newly elected Republican senator for Texas and a favorite of the right-wing Tea Party movement, said that he too was "concerned" about Mr. Hagel's past statements. He accused Mr. Obama of being "high on re-election".

Mr Obama's Democratic party holds a majority in the Senate and it is highly unusual for a president's opponents to block the appointment of cabinet secretaries, even in times of sharp political division.

However, while in the minority, Republicans could wield the filibuster – an obstructive tactic – to prevent Mr. Hagel's nomination from being brought to a vote.

The pick was defended by Heidi Heitkamp, a Democratic senator for North Dakota, who described Mr. Hagel as "a tremendous patriot and statesman".

"This kind of fight is the kind of fight that the people of this country get so frustrated by," Ms. Heitkamp told ABC News.

Controversy over the likely nomination comes weeks after fierce Republican opposition torpedoed the hopes of Susan Rice, reportedly Mr. Obama's first choice to be Secretary of State.

Ms. Rice, America's UN ambassador, came under attack from Mr. Graham and two other senators for her role in the administration's public mishandling of the September 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya.

After Ms. Rice announced that she was withdrawing her name from consideration, Mr. Obama nominated Democratic Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the former presidential candidate, to replace Hillary Clinton.

Charles Krauthammer used a bad analogy for hurricane relief.

Now you tell me Republicans! Why on earth are you that willing to expose your problems to the forefront.

Republicans have not only let their private affairs get into the public, but it allow the Democrats to rebound in popularity. The Republicans and conservatives are so extreme, they can't even trust one another now!

Last week, Congressman Peter King (R-New York) slams House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) for allowing the Hurricane Sandy relief bill die off. Boehner promised that a bill will be passed. On Friday, it was passed overwhelmingly but there were some Republicans who continue to hold the line for their "principles".

Arkansas Republican congressman Tom Cotton is a growing face in the Tea Party and he got his opportunity to flex his pea brain on the national networks. Senator Ted  Cruz (R-Texas) also managed to be the new voice of the Tea Party, with his broad and yet incorrect statements of the president.

It's likely they'll buddy up with the likes Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren soon.

To make matters worse, it's just not Cotton and Cruz! The whole U.S. Congressional delegation from Kansas voted against the relief bill. These people unwilling to help the needy are embraced by the likes of famed writer and conservative alumni Charles Krauthammer. The often vocal Krauthammer went into a rant over how Democrats blaming former President George W. Bush for his handling of Hurricane Katrina.

So instead of figuring out who to the blame, Krauthammer says it's was the best idea for House Speaker Boehner to let the legislation die. He concluded that the relief bill was a "rape of the Treasury".

Tell me, Krauthammer, would you like to say this to the family who lost their home?

I guess he doesn't understand what New Jersey hot fist special is?

Governor Chris Christie (R-New Jersey), a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate has hammered Republicans for constant delay of relief to his state.

I guess you might want to wheel yourself back a couple of feet. Krauthammer is paralyzed from the neck down after he fell in a diving accident. He is a Canadian-American duel citizen. He was born in Montreal, Quebec, but currently resides in Washington, DC.

Chris Christie To Fox News: Don't You Dare Politicize A Tragedy!

Hurricane Sandy aftermath: Chris Christie warns conservatives to not politicize this tragedy.

Me and LaReyna send our condolences to those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Hence, the safety net once again rears its head again!

The safety net includes social security, disability, food stamps, farm aid, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare and yes disaster relief.


With the rising food and gas prices, people are turning to food stamps, food banks and government assistance to keep themselves from landing in the homeless shelter.

Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for the economic recession. Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!

The Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement are heartless when it comes to the lower and middle class. In their warped minds, the lower class and those who are too poor are stealing from the taxpayers by accepting food stamps, welfare and necessaries.

Some of Mitt Romney's supporters are victims of the Hurricane Sandy. They are now realizing that it's essential to have a safety net. So I guess there's no need to whine about the rise in food stamps, welfare or that little thing we call disaster relief!

Mitt Romney attack the president for being a sugar daddy for dependency! Hence forth the NIGGERIZATION of the president.

Mitt Romney loading canned goods. While at a political event in Dayton, Ohio, Romney declared that his supporters will donate cans to the victims. Liberal agitators claim that it's a ploy to win votes.

The president has a to be a commander-and-chief. When there's a disaster, President Barack Obama has to set aside his political differences with Republicans. Hurricane Sandy ruined a whole lot of people's lives.

The Republican governors Bob McDonnell of Virginia, Chris Christie of New Jersey and Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania endorsed Mitt Romney for president. But since this disaster, they've told the media not to play a tragedy for a political event.

I've listened to yesterday's Rush Limbaugh, Neal Bootz and Sean Hannity programs. Besides the bemoaning of the Benghazi attacks and the few polls showing a Mitt Romney lead, they've been harping on President Barack Obama "lackluster" response to a tragedy. Of course, they're sitting comfortably in their radio studios in Florida. Hannity could do his national show from the comfort of his home!

President Barack Obama ordered all federal emergency agencies to cut through gridlock to help victims.

I've read The Drudge Report and its posting misleading headlines. One in particular is the title of misleading government telling people to go on the internet. The gay conservative agitator is trying to undermine the president.

The Fox News host Eric Bolling praised the president's efforts but slammed him for the handling of Libya.

Alex Jones' PrisonPlanet/InfoWars post stories about rioting and looting.

Grover Norquist spent a stack trying to attack the president for his "debt" problems! What does he use?

Well a hurricane and play for the minds of Virginians.

Breitbart is following celebrities who slam Mitt Romney over his disaster relief  being "political stunts."

The Republicans are tight lipped on the situation. They've not spoken in a negative tone about this.

Grover Norquist puts out an ad. The advertising puts the president next to a storm. His idea came before the Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy disaster, and yet it's still in bad taste.

Many people are wondering why is Mitt Romney trying to use a tragedy for political gains?

The Republican Party's biggest microphone on cable has been trying to spin this for another attempt to help Mitt Romney win. This is their ongoing denial of climate change and conspiracies to FEMA death camps. Since they can't find a controversy about the federal government's handling of a disaster, they want to create a controversy about this in order to attack President Barack Obama or those in need of assistance.

They interview New Jersey governor Chris Christie. Let's say that those guys on the couch were shocked to hear such as polarizing figure (and potential 2016 candidate) praise the president!

The bosses over there send a memo, they tip of Matt Drudge. Then after the message is out there, Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson, and Brian Kilmeade present the conservative talking point. They regurgitate a line, and their audience soaks it like a sponge. Then it goes through Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage. Then it repeats itself over and over again. And of course, the word salad from conservatives start on Facebook and YouTube, then everywhere else.

Mitt Romney does a photo op with canned goods. Many critics in the liberal media have slammed this attempt as a "sham". The Republican nominee held a political rally event in Dayton, Ohio in which he asked supporters to donate goods to the hurricane relief victims. Some point out that goods are going to states such as Virginia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. States where Romney is locked up with President Barack Obama in the polls.


The guys over at AddictingInfo once again pokes holes in Romney event. They cite LGBT website New Civil Rights Movement's David Badash claims that it's all political when it came to "disaster relief!"

Mitt Romney is sending the supplies he asked supporters to bring to his “non-political” campaign event today — to which Romney invited NASCAR driver Richard Petty — in the battleground state of Ohio, only to victims of Hurricane Sandy in swing states that the GOP candidate has a chance of winning: Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania — not the two areas hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy: New Jersey and New York.

The president suspended his campaign and is going to meet Governor Chris Christie and local residents. Of course, conservatives aren't happy about this. They'll be attacking him regardless.

Nate Silver: Likely Obama! | Right Wing Attacks!

I've got the numbers. - Nate Silver

The right wing is going bananas over a pollster's analysis of the general election. They go on to attack the pollster for being gay!

Nate Sliver is the founder of FiveThirtyEight, the political blog that covers the elections. The New York Times found his information very reliable. The Republicans are focusing on the polls showing that Mitt Romney is leading in the polls. But Silver strikes the notion down! He predicts that it's likely that even if the polls show that Romney is leading, he is actually losing. The state of Ohio and Florida are potential bellweathers for both candidates. Ohio is ground zero this election. It's 18 electoral votes determines who could become the president.

Mitt Romney has less than 50 campaign offices. The president has nearly double that amount and then some. The president comes to Ohio and urges his crowds that if you want to keep him working for the American people, don't wait for November 6, vote early.

I've done it. And it's having an impact.

Early voting hurts this guy. If the president can get his supporters out then they're be a real shake up!

But so far, Nate Silver predicts that the president is likely going to win this election. Conservatives are crying foul on this one. So far when you look at Rasmussen Polls, a known conservative leaning poll it has the president trailing Mitt Romney in likely voters. The likely voters are the ones that may be the key to the election.

Dean Chambers of Unskewed Polls.

As the candidates take a break from attacking one other, their surrogates are out in full force. Vice President Joe Biden and Bill Clinton will stand in for the president. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), and Newt Gingrich will fill in for Mitt Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin).

The feud between pollsters started when Dean Chambers, the founder of Unskewed Polls took to the internet and called out Sliver for being gay!

The Advocate, a news agitator for the LGBT community reported that Silver called out the founder of a conspiratorial  website called "Unskewed Polls," Dean Chambers , who wrote an op-ed  attacking Silver as "a man of very small stature" and "a thin and effeminate man with a soft-sounding voice."

Scott Rasmussen, Republican pollster.

Apparently only truly manly men can analyze polling data. Chambers's website recasts all mainstream polls with Republican-leaning survey samples so they are truly "unskewed" — or shall we say "fair and balanced?" He's gotten a lot of attention in conservative blogs and on the bearer of that tagline, Fox News.


Silver is a self-described geek  who writes for the New York Times and is the founder of FiveThirtyEight.

One of our favorite pieces of Nate Silver data analysis was his conclusion that gay friendlier states have lower divorce rates.

But he's known for having correctly predicted the popular vote in 2008 within one percentage point, correctly predicted the outcome in every state except Indiana plus accurately forecast all of the Senate races. Silver is also the author of the book, The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail-but Some Don't . He finds Chambers pretty amusing.

"This is pretty awesome," Silver wrote on Twitter . "Per http://unskwedpolls.com , I am 'a thin and effeminate man' & therefore not to be trusted."

Silver summarized  the attack this way: "Unskewedpolls argument: Nate Silver seems kinda gay + ??? = Romney landslide!"

Did endorsing Obama hurt Oprah's ratings?

Oprah Winfrey's talk show ratings have dropped 7% over this year. Some of that can be attributed to a decline in the overall television audience. Some say her show is feeling the feedback of her endorsement of Barack Obama which seems to have alienated a part of the middle aged white female audience she caters to. This could be an isue as she gets ready to launch her own network, OWN. Click the link to read more:
