Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he’s “perplexed” by President Barack Obama’s actions since the mid-term elections, arguing Obama seems in denial over the “butt-kicking” the Democratic Party experienced.

> “We’ve made so many good changes there with better candidates at the state level, yet haven’t figured out Mitch and Boehner (who has the same problem) need to be immediately replaced just on simple aesthetics.”

That’s a good argument for my Tag Line.

Hey Mitch! Maybe this will clarify things for you:

EVERYTHING obama does either:

a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.

It's also a near flawless checklist for predicting his future behavior.

Give it a try and see!

Yes. Somebody, I seem to recall Mark Twain, said that if voting mattered, it would be illegal.

I first heard that from Jello Biafra

In 2010, the Special Election for the seat held by Ted Kennedy until he died (praise God) went to an ardent opponent of Obamacare.

Obama saw the improbable election (a REPUBLICAN in MASSACHUSETTS?) and instead of hewing to the electorate’s will, he told us “**** YOU,” gave us the finger, and doubled down.

They then had to pretty much break every law to pass the monstrosity.

Fast forward to now: Obama wants amnesty for 70 million illegal immigrants. The elections end up with an historic route, signifying the electorate’s will.

But Obama has demonstrated what he does before: instead of hewing to the electorate’s will, he tells us “**** YOU,” gives us the finger, and doubles down.

He will then pretty much break every law to pass the monstrosity.

Perhaps the most important thing the Republicans could do would be to return to regular order on the budget. In recent years, the budget process has entirely collapsed; it was in bad shape before, but Harry Reid simply scrapped it and forced an across the board reliance on stroke of midnight CRs. This subverts congressional oversight, the authorization and amendment process, and the congressional power of the purse. Essentially, the only recourse to those seeking to force a change is a budget shutdown, which has become a ritualized ceremony in which, no matter how it developed, press bias ensures that Republicans get hammered.

Regular order. Pass a short term CR to get us into March, with the new Congress seated and organized, and then send the president regular apppropriations bills, one at a time, and force him to veto them if he wants a shutdown.

The BS being flouted all over the place regarding Michael Brown and racism is meant for one thing and one thing only. The administration and the media want to get people believing that all the white people are racists. So, ip so facto, ANYTHING that is pushed back against the half white/half black who pretends to be BLACK is racist.

Obama and his FACIST gang are very smart. They constantly play a three card monte game with a very naive group of people in Congress who can’t see the forest for the trees and are tricked in to playing a game that does not really exist. The Republicans have been turned in to frightened mice trying to work their way through a maze they have trapped themselves in. It is sickening and laughable at the same time. We would be much better off if we replaced congress with kids that have been fighting in the Middle East. At least they have the guts to step up and follow the rules of the United States Constitution.

Thinking people realize that those that cower when they have real power are the worst type of spineless cowards. These are farts in Congress need to go and they need to be replaced with cage fighters. Ruthless people that follow the Constitution and don’t take prisoners.

The Republucans are wimps who drop their guns and scream “hands up don’t shoot” at the hint of any criticism.

They could change things tomorrow if they wanted to if they just got on the same page and pushed the same message over and over and over. They have the power but they are pu$$ys.

” We can expect no relief from Congress, SCOTUS, or the media.

The fix is in.”

It is indeed. FReepers should investigate how much money the Chamber of Commerce has spent defeating tea party candidates, and promoting politicians sympathetic to amnesty. It tops 100 million.

Obama seems in denial over the “butt-kicking” the Democratic Party experienced.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

He’s not in “denial” Mitch; he just knows what a sorry, spineless, low-life, piece of s**t you and John Boehner are and that he can walk all over you. So, he does what he wants because all you and Boehner will do is be “very sad”. So, go eff yourself Mitch.

Ah, "perplexed" is it?

Don't tell me, you pudgy pink SOB. Show me.
How are you and the other RINO multi-millionaires going to control The Mombasa MF? You have already made enough to retire gracefully. Now do your job.

BTW fatty, if this charlatan really has you "perplexed," you're too stupid for the job.

Perplexed? 0, Holder and their minions are trying to nudge white, unbiased, Americans into a rage to expedite a full blown race war.

The minute Michael Browns’ ‘father’ is charged with incitement, the burning and destruction in Ferguson and around the country will be fired up again.

A plan right out of their agenda.

Well, some of the Ferguson schools did let kids out to march and protest yesterday. I guess they were protesting that the looted stores hadn’t restocked yet.
