Quote by Rep., James McGovern (D) on Social Security

Representative James McGovern a Massachusetts Democrat, says the following quote about cuts concerning Social Security:

I’m frustrated as hell that you’ve got members of Congress talking about cutting benefits for Social Security recipients when they had nothing to do with this economic mess we’re in.”

I agree with his quote, as the Social Security tax that we the workers have been, some still paying into it, has nothing to do with the deficit, as it is separate from the overall budget.

So why are the Republicans so adamantly for cutting back or killing SS? Do they think we are living the high life? Not.

One think the Republicans don’t want to do is piss off granny, as they will come back right at you.

Oh Mr Murdoch, what a tangled web we weave as we set out to deceive http://www.businessweek.com/europe/graphic-news-corps-tangled-web-07142011-gfx.html This is not the fall of the British, Australian or US governments.

No longer will Murdoch be able to dictate the agenda of these governments, no longer will he be able to blackmail or threaten the Leaders of the main political parties in those Countries.

Obama Walks Out Of Tense Debt Ceiling Talks

President Obama walked out of the Debt Ceiling meeting, as Eric Cantor was being very rude. It was reported that Cantor interrupted Obama three times, while the President was wrapping things up. Canto claims that Obama stormed out, but Nancy Pelosi says that is not true, and was really pissed off on how Cantor was acting. By the way, Cantor has already walked out twice on Obama. Cantor should grow up, act like an adult, or get the hell out of Washington.

Obama Threatens to Withhold Social Security Checks from Seniors and Vets (via WordCritical)

Just a sampling of what the uneducated morons post on Fox News.

Obama Threatens to Withhold Social Security Checks from Seniors and Vets This is not a threat. It is nothing less than blackmail! Blackmail is designed to “scare” someone into doing what someone else wants. What surprised me is that while it is law that these checks must go out, there is no “when” they must go out! That is at the discretion of the President? So, President Obama is doing more than threaten…he is blackmailing Seniors and the Military! I just wonder why he did not say that the Public Unions would not g … Read More

Over the last few years, the media has been filled with speculation about the assassination of Dr. Tiller and the Tucson shootings.

The “exciting” Tea Party alternative to “Summer Camp”. (via The BigotBasher)

I’ve posted something similar to this, but this post has a lot more to it.

The "exciting" Tea Party alternative to "Summer Camp". Summer Camp to Tea Party types has become too socialist. While the idea of going kayaking through rapids or horse riding through mountains may not sound like a horrible commie plot to most people, never underestimate the idiocy of the tea-bagger. The young child of the knuckle dragging Tea Party type can expect to look forward to: "learning the principles of liberty, free markets, and limited government. They will also learn the values of persona … Read More

Sarah Palin Calls Obama a Liar

From Politicususa

Sarah Palin calls President Obama and Nancy Pelosi liars, and says the Republicans are trying to “save” Medicare while the Democrats are killing it. Ms. Palin called the President a liar. This woman, who has told the truth less often than she tells lies, this person who lies about the weather in her own book, this serial liar, has called the President a liar on national TV.

What Saxby Chambliss and Ronald Reagan have in common

Saxby Chambliss is getting a lot of grief from the right-wing fringe, for trying to work out a deal to lower the deficit ceiling. Chambliss should never been a senator in the first place, when he ran a disgraceful campaign against a war vet and an honorable man.

The fringe of the right wing has completely lost it.

In a speech before the Economic Club of Chicago, the Wisconsin Republican maintained, “We cannot avert a debt crisis unless we directly address the rising cost of health.”

Teach the Constitution the Tea Party Patriot Way?

The Tea Party Patriots wants the public schools to teach the Constitution their way, meaning as they read it, and see it. Their idea is to have the writings and views by the late W. Leon Skousen, who’s views are blatantly racial.

Lets hope that local school boards across the nation don’t approve of the way the Tea Party asses, are trying to do things.

Karoli is Right That Conservatives Should Get Over Themselves

Karoli has a great article in Crooks and Liars, that the Conservatives should get over themselves, as for the poet Common appearing at the White House.

The Conservatives are great for reading or hearing something, and then blow it all up, into false accusations. But where was these so-called family values types, when in 2008, Ted Nugent went off his rocket, ranting all kinds of awful shit about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Never heard a peep out of them.

Its downright disgusting they way they act.

Republican Governors are Jealous of Obama

When Florida Governor Rick Scott refused to take money from the Obama administration for high speed rail, he said that it would ‘create Palinsque like death panels’. He’s the same governor who said ‘that if Florida accepted the money, and built the rail line, there would be a catch to it.’ In essence, the state of Florida would end up paying for it, which was not true.

Walker of Wisconsin, came up with some lame excuse not to take the money, to improve the rail system between Milwaukee and Madison, so as to cut down on the length of time.

So the money they refused to take, along with Ohio, some of that money was awarded to Massachusetts, Maine and a couple of other states, that want to improve their rail lines.

I’m hopeful that the voters in the Republican states, either recall, or vote them out in 2012, and never to be heard from again.

Right Wing False Talk Won’t Fly on Bill Maher’s Show

Bill Maher has had enough of the right wing false and negativity talk on his show, and he wants to put a stop to it. David Frum was putting his usual Republican spin on it, but Maher and Michael Eric Dyson would have none of it.

With Eliot Spitzer not taking any bullshit from John Yoo, formerly with the Bush administration, with his nonsense on how Obama went about wrong on nailing Bin Laden, and saying Bush was the one who knew how to fight terrorism, when in fact, Bush called off the CIA operation in 2005.

Its good to see that Maher and Spitzer can see right through these guys.

Before the first so-called Republican debate in Greenville, SC the right wing loons had a Tea Party rally, and among them were the Oath Keepers. They have what they call the 10 points of rules that in essence, are rules and laws not to be obeyed. Read them. Its crazy and quite frankly scary.

Some of the speakers were; SC Governor Nicki Haley, Roy Moore of the 10 Commandments fame, and a few other whack jobs.

Paul Ryan Trying to Accuse ThinkProgress of “Stacking the Crowds”

Paul Ryan R-Wisconsin

Paul Ryan, the anointed budget writer for the GOP led House, accuses ThinkProgress of “Stacking Crowds” at his town hall meetings in his home state of Wisconsin.

When the Democrats was having their town hall meetings in 2009, it was alright for the Tea Baggers, and other right wing loons, to scream, shout, and wreak all kinds of havoc. But when the Republicans have town hall meetings, they say people are bussed in to disrupt them, and its not right to do that. Well Ryan, all I can say is “Pay Back is a Bitch.”

House Republicans Don’t Seem to Give a Damn / Refuse to Give a Resolution to the Military

The House Republicans are acting like spoiled school children, as they refuse to pass a resolution to honor the military, and the Navy Seals. They should get over it that Osama bin Laden was caught and killed under Obama’s watch, and not George Bush. I just have to wonder what the hell goes through their minds.

Republicans Want to Give George Bush Credit for the Taking Down of bin Laden

The Republicans want us to believe that it is President Obama’s fault for the economy  to go in the tank. But with the recent take down of Osama bin Laden, they want to give the credit to George W. Bush. Back in  2005, Bush gave up on going after bin Laden. Of course he won the election in 2004, so why did he give a crap if they found him or not.

Crooks and Liars has good take on what the Bush administration was doing about it, or not doing about it. In 2008, Obama made the promise that he would hunt him down, and he kept his promise. A president with a spine.

What is Wrong With the Republicans Not Giving the President Proper Respect

With some of the top Republicans giving their take, and congratulations on the killing of bin Laden, only one mentioned President Barack Obama by name. That was Tim Pawlenty. I congratulate for that. The rest; Romney, Bachmann, Santorum, and others, gave thanks for killing bin Laden, but no mention of the president. To think if it was a Republican in the White House, they’d be heaping praise on the president. Then we have Fox news saying, that the photos of bin laden are fake. Again, Obama can get no respect from these degenerate assholes.

Afraid To Face Angry Voters, Rep. Paul Ryan Sneaks Out A Back Door After Raucous Town Hall

Paul Ryan can take the heat at his ‘town hall meetings’ as he slipped out another door after the meeting was over, because the car he came in was surrounded by angry protesters. He also got upset, because the people in the hall, were getting loud, and he asked them to tone it down, or else they can leave. But it was alright when the Democrats were being heckled and shouted down, by the Tea Party jerks.
