Early this morning on Fox and Friends, LtCol Allen West called for the president to RESIGN!
I’m not seeing this on the Fox News website yet, but that is certainly a daring move.
Don’t worry the wacko left already have new chatting points.
“Its all the Republicans fault for not helping to save 0care in zeros time of need. A bit of a stretch but it will do for the “its all about his blackness all the time bozos” on the left.
Wowzer not looking too good for the carpetbagging Liz.
No kidding!
After the games I was listening to ESPN Sportcenter—what jerks!
They kept saying stuff like, “Well, Alabama struggled to beat Mississippi State, don’t you think that Auburn can now beat them? And what about Florida State, with their 59 points!?”
Ha! First off, what struggle? Oh, Alabama was held to 20 points. Big deal. MS got 7. I really don’t think Alabama was struggling, but these guys gotta play the drama queen role to get viewers, I guess. And yes, things ARE shaping up to a GREAT Iron Bowl. I hope it even goes down to the wire and both teams show their mettle.
Yesterday I watched Ohio State-Illinois, Auburn-Georgia, Alabama-Miss State, and some of USC-Stanford. Great day and night for football fans!
The Uniparty supports ObamaCare...period. The House sends bills to repeal ObamaCare over and over, knowing damn well those bills won’t get past the Senate. We’re being played.
I wonder if Mike Lee was asked, or Ted Cruz. ?
“three fund raisers in one day “
I was wondering the same thing. He will be useful as long as he can raise money amongst the “base”.
But you’d have to be brain-dead to sit at a $30K a plate dinner listening to him drivel on. His glam is gone.
Celebrities? Trial lawyers? people he can use tax money to give favors to? But they would do the same if it weren’t a boring fool at the lecturn. OR?
The economy was in shambles so what doe zero do--a 786 billion dollar infrastructure/bank bailout plan that made things worse. From there we go to zero care which was never a national problem with 85% of the country already happily insured.
Its always been a deceitful con to take over 1/6 of the economy and little else.
Bottom line: Obamcare is all made up shit little else. Most just fell for it. Thankfully, not here.
I jest of course because I was referring to the Auburn game. Come to think of it, most of your Tide games have been yawners.
Lots of LIARS in the democrat party:

SEN. TOM HARKIN (D-Iowa): “One of the things we put in the health care bill when we designed it was the protection for consumers to keep the plan they have if they like it; thus, the term ‘grandfathered plans.’ If you have a plan you like — existing policies — you can keep them. … we said, if you like a plan, you get to keep it, and you can grandfather it in.” (Sen.

SEN. BARBARA BOXER (D-Calif.): “So we want people to be able to keep the health care they have. And the answer to that is choice of plans.

SEN.

SEN. JEFF MERKLEY (D-Oreg.): “[E]nsuring that those who like their insurance get to keep it” “The HELP Committee bill sets forward a historic plan that will, for the first time in American history, give every American access to affordable health coverage, reduce costs, and increase choice, while ensuring that those who like their insurance get to keep it.” (Sen.

As I said, you may have missed my remarks at the beginning of the call, but one of the things I that I said as a requirement that I have for supporting a bill is that if you have health coverage that you like you should be able to keep that. …under every scenario that I’ve seen, if you have health coverage that you like, you get to keep it.” (Sen. Shaheen, “Health Care Questions From Across New Hampshire,” Accessed 11/13/13)
SEN. DEBBIE STABENOW (D-Mich.): “As someone who has a large number of large employers in my state, one of the things I appreciate about the chairman’s mark is — is the grandfathering provisions, the fact that the people in my state, 60 percent of whom have insurance, are going to be able to keep it. And Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that. That’s a strong commitment. It’s clear in the bill … I appreciate the strong commitment on your part and the president to make sure that if you have your insurance you can keep it. That’s the bottom line for me.” (U.S. Senate, Finance Committee, Bill Mark-Up, 9/24/09)

Buying access is surely one game but as you say brain dead donors surely enters into the photo at some point.You gotta wonder what the excuse its for picking the socialists pockets at this point.
I wouldn’t have voted for it. I think that there were too many good amendments, for example, that were not accepted, such as those offered by Sen. Cruz, that would have provided much more insurance in terms of border security. I am not comfortable with leaving so much discretion in the hands of the secretary for Homeland Security – to decide whether to carry out those provisions of the bill. And I think the bill as it stands now doesn’t deal with the most important issue we’ve got to address first, which is to secure the border.
That’s great AB.....I love it.
I must ask again, even with the Repub lovers on this thread....
WHY AREN’T THE PUBS OUT AND GIVING THIS DATA?
If this was the Dems.....well remember how they made a simple storm into some big deal? And they WON! Bush will always be unfairly saddled with Katrina although the man did nothing wrong but fail to defend himself....the dolt.
Look at the pubs saying nothing when they got so much to vilify the man with.
Notice how few pubs on the morning talk shows this morning.
WHERE ARE THEY?
I see a couple but no Boehner, no McConnell, no McLame.
WHERE ARE THEY?
Truth is I have always liked Liz but the way she is going about running is an obvious epic fail. She really does score however on those Sunday morning panels and in other venues on TV. There is undoubtedly a place for her it just won't be in the Senate apparently.At least not from Wyoming.
Mike Enzi - RINO - Get along enabler of BIGGER G’ment. Liz’s answer to this problem if you heard her on FOX.
Limit the money and manpower of the various Federal agencies. For me this is not enough. I would very much like to eliminate them. And I would start with the Depts. of Education and Energy. FIRE all of the apparatchiks who work there.
They are standing back, while the enemy destroys themselves.
“If government thought that inserting “wellness” coverage into every policy was actually going to save lives and lower costs they were just plain stupid.”
These people are NOT STUPID. They are Fascist Dictators who enjoy telling you how to do everything. This is not something new in History.
America is THE Exception to History.
Letting these Democrat party Fascists along with their enabling apparatchiks in the media go unpunished is a SHAME on US. Ben Franklin said “a Republic if you can Keep it”.
Two things to think about this.
First, they would have to earn $160 billion given taxes.
Second, the entire budget of NASA when the Tyrant
made his coup d'etat was $20+ billion per year.
THAT (miniscule amount) is saved because there is no more space exploration
since the (undocumented) Tyrant diverted NASA's mission to "Help Moslem esteem".
IRONY of the day?
FOX “NEWS”’ Chris Wallace interviewing
Liz Cheney, Republican candidate for Senate in Wyoming,
and asking her if she is a “carpetbagger” and then
a “flipper” (flipflopper).
— given Wallace’s long ‘love’-interest
for Mitt Romney, who has been the ultimate
pro-Obama flipflopping carpetbagger, and
never bringing it up before. Never. Ever.
