Political circle jerk. Won't be any arguments among those three.
Morning AB, All.
Getting ready to go to church, am singing at the 10 am and also will be speaking to the congregation from the pulpit asking them to give more money in their collection.
I just don’t care, this is the fifth year I’ve done this and this church exceeds the budgeted collection half again. I always say it’s because of my little pep talks and I half believe this.
Thank you AB for doing this thread....was playing Candy Crush till I saw it go up.
Last week some Repub or another came out expressing a waning interest in immigration reform. I’ve no doubt the lack of zeal is because the citizenry, all of us with fences and locks and such, understand protecting our perimeters. Somewhere along the line the political elite decided, perhaps due to large monetary contributions from businesses needing cheap labor, to open our borders with a revolving door and we, the boobs that elected them, HAD NO SAY IN THIS DECISION!
So now when we hear immigration reform....no...the political elite want to keep that revolving door and the country class does not want it. We all got yards, fences, walls, limits....it’s human nature, indeed the nature of every living thing, to protect its territory.
One explanation for the withdrawal of immigration reform was that Obama doesn’t enforce the laws anyway, why enact them?
I understand Mike Wallace is going to cover this as I don’t know who said that BUT WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??
We have a member of the opposition party, a party with one third of the power of our constitution, that openly, :::shrug::: accepts this really cool form of dictatorship.
For why the hell should Obama enforce silly laws he does not like? Let the legislature enact laws all they want, he will just ignore those he does not like. And those laws he needs that the legislature does not enact....well he’ll just write up an executive order.
Boom, instant dictatorship.
If we had an opposition party well for one thing they wouldn’t be shrugging and saying “oh well, no need for laws, he doesn’t enforce them.”
And THAT my friends is what’s wrong with the Republican party.
Would any one of us be sitting back while Obama flips us the bird and installs a dictatorship? Yet he gets away with it for lack of opposition.
Sickens me.
Just finished watching c-spans war on the Keystone Pipeline with Gene Kerpenski head of some environmental group(big fan of hillary’s bootlicker Pooooodesta) telling us that all that nasty oil,(I thought it got cleaned up in Texas where they refine it?) is only going to China and its dirty to begin with guess we are far better off refining all that clean Venezuelan oil(oh yeah that’s heavy crude as well).... since its tar sand oil global warming is settled science and that 97% of all scientists believe in....just too pathetic for words.
Looks like another slow line up — probably due to the Olympics.
Tom Coburn (R-OK) is supposedly resigning his Senate seat, not because of bouts with cancer, but to help push the Article 5 state constitutional conventions. That idea seems to have some steam in several states. I retain my suspicious — that could be opening a whole can of worms of unintended consequences. I just don’t think such gatherings could be restricted to pre-set items, once the doors are closed.
Several incumbent Senators, both parties, seem to be in reelection trouble. McConnell and Graham on the R side seem have serious challenges this time. Landreau and Pryor on the D side seem to have been written off by the DNC.
Of course, the Republicans still have time to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory. They seem to be expert at that.
It seems the new now leader for the GOP is Jeb Bush. Some still think Christie can make a come-back. Huckabee is polling high among some. The same with Palin. Even Romney is showing some life.
One recent article has a list of potential Republicans who might be interested. That list shows 32 names. My assessment after looking at that list is that probably 28 couldn’t get 100 Electoral Votes if they did make it to the general election. There just isn’t a lot of ‘there’ there. The GOP just doesn’t have many pizzazz names. It has more zonks than zingers.
A new survey this week showed that a large number of people (44%) still blame the last Bush and the Republicans for the current economy. Only about 33% blame Obama and the Democrats.

Sen. Cardin: immigration system is broken.
==
Yeah, politicians broke it!
Enforce current laws!!! You won’t even enforce them, so why pile on new laws?
==
Sen. Blunt references the same ole canard: secure the border.
==
Define what you mean by ‘secure the border’, and we might think you mean it. Until then, it is just more empty rhetoric.

Juan, in perfect stride, cherry-picks examples to support the idea that Obamacare increasing unemployment is a good thing.
Obamacare is thinking about extending the ‘you can keep your current policy’ for 3 more years — past the 2016 election.
==
Many insurance companies have already cancelled those policies because they are ILLEGAL under Obamacare now.
==
Plugging the holes in Obamacare is about like plugging the openings in a chain link fence with wads of newspapers to keep the wind out.
Wow!
Laura Ingraham just kicked George Will’s ass on amnesty, and now she’s doing the obligatory Wahn slapdown....with great deal of pizazz.
Subject of NBC’s Meet-the-presstitutes:
BASHING PUTIN....
The Queers at gay-run MBC really do hate him for making Obama look like an idiot.
“Russia is a totalitarian nation!”
REALLY?????
Foxnews:
Great balls of fire!
Laura kicked RINO George and Commie Juan’s butts AT THE SAME TIME!!! On illegal aliens.
Luv that woman
Woke up late so I watched a little bit of This Week and that Plouffe guy was trying to spin the CBO report in a silly way. PBS had a show on about the War Of 1812 so I watched that instead.
