What can we say about Harry Ried's departure from the US Senate and his legacy? No budget for 8 years (just Continuing Resolutions). Ruinous Obamacare (he is it's real maker). A Dysfunctional Senate.

The Democrats? I’d rate the chances of the party reining in its extremes at below zero.

When I asked her for an example, she replied, “Every morning, we hold a meeting about how to build that evening’s broadcast. We’ve been doing this for decades. Everybody talks about which stories we’re going to air, what the line-up looks like, and which reporters we’ll have live in the field and which ones will be filing taped pieces. In the past, the left-wing bias was always left unspoken. People just ‘got it,’ because they all thought the same. “Once Obama pulled ahead of Hillary and certainly once he became president,” she said, “the bias came out of the closet....

The US House passed a continuing resolution before the midnight deadline. But the Senate did not take it up. Therefore by failing to pass their own resolution, THE SENATE DEMOCRATS SHUTDOWN THE US GOVERNMENT.

Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew the Obama White House’s Benghazi talking points BEFORE the White House even sent them around to administration officials. Hillary Clinton used the administration’s exact talking point blaming the attack on a YouTube video before Obama’s White House speechwriter Ben Rhodes drafted it to prepare Susan Rice for Sunday morning talk shows days later.

Governor Jay Nixon refused to give Ferguson National Guard protection to punish them for refusing to fire Darren Wilson and chief of police Tom Jackson, Gotnews.com has learned.

Harry Reid personally voted against Landrieu and screwed his own party. Checking the Roll Call this morning, Harry Reid's vote is Nay. Why did he allow the vote (since he rules the Senate with an iron fist) and then vote against her and ruin her chances in Louisiana? Nothing short of the Bills passage would have saved her down there. She's too little to late now and the union jobs are being pooched. And Obama stands above it all to pooch the Union jobs with a veto promise. This might have been the last chance for the Democrat Party (notice...

The 59-41 Senate vote was just shy of the 60 votes needed to pass the bill, following a dramatic six days of whipping by the embattled Louisiana Democrat on an issue that almost all of Washington had expected to sit idle until next year. The defeat deals a blow to Landrieu’s campaign ahead of her Dec. 6 runoff against GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy, whom polls show running comfortably ahead.

Why is Obama wearing the same clothes as the Chinese Premier and Putin? Is it some kind of sick pajama party or is it because he wants to express his solidarity with the Communists?

For six years, the mainstream press has been operating on a ‘Sort of God’ meme for president Obama. They turned off their normally skeptical investigative journalist mode spinning and supporting him for three quarters of a full presidency; even saying criticism of his policies was racist. It was Even Thomas, a Newsweek editor, who may have started the meme speaking with Chris Matthew's “Hardball”. June of 2009 he spoke in pure adulation “I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the county, above – above the world, he’s sort of God”. Also June of that year; the [Chicago] Sun Times...

The Republicans did not have a national campaign except to send back Obama's words to haunt him. It was a nationally silent campaign and whoever came up with it was a genius. As long as the Republican spoke out about any national issue, the Lamestream Media would speak out against it. Whether it was abortion, healthcare, racial bating; it did not matter, the media would take the side of the Democratic party. By avoiding speaking on these issues and focusing like a laser on Obama's misstatements and obvious mistakes (Ebola and ISIL), they avoided the Democrats and the Lamestream Media's...

Been waiting on the Democrat's October Surprise. Seems like racial slurs is all it is. But instead they got Jean Shaheen's involvement with Lois Learner on the IRS Scandal and a claim by VP Joe Biden that Greg Orman is with the Democrats.

"We need to learn from history; we need to look to history, what works and what doesn't. One thing is clear: If Republicans run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney, let me be clear, all three of those are good honest men, decent men, they are patriots, but if we run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney, we will end up with the same result, which is millions of people will stay home on Election Day."

If Bush were President how would ISIL, ebola and the Ukraine Be Going right now? Would there have been the IRS, and VA scandals? If the Republicans had had the Presidency instead of the Democrats these last 7 years, would there have been something like Obamacare racking the American Economy. Would he have raised the Social Security tax as Obama did. It is really revealing to ask what would have happened these last 7 years in light of all these issues. I'm sure someone like President Bush would not have been perfect, but can you imagine any of these things...

Obama says, to an illegal immigrant activists meeting in Washington DC, 'Si se puede, si votamos!' 'Yes we can , if we vote'. And calls to dilute American citizens votes in a naked power grab. Diluting citizen votes and overturning the will of the American voters by using illegal outsiders, Obama exposes his plan to transform America without 'We the People'. Considering that this is election season and only a month away. American voters can tell Obama and the Democrats how they feel about having their votes taken away.

And one of those groups is ISIL -- which calls itself the “Islamic State.” Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not “Islamic.”

It is amazing the degree to which the media can politicize -- always from a leftist perspective -- just about anything in the news. No matter what the issue, there's the spin, always the spin, especially in the "analysis" reports where "journalists" go in screech advocacy mode while projecting a sober, dispassionate evaluation. Burger King announced that it could no longer abide by our corporate tax rate, the highest in the industrial world, and was moving to Canada, so ABC's Diane Sawyer decided this was a betrayal of the company's civic responsibility...

After the "shellacking" of 2010, have Democrats learned their lesson? Obamacare had been enacted upon bribes and chicanery; Deemed into law even though it was written in the US Senate by Harry Reid. The American people were furious. It was obvious that most healthcare premiums would go up rather than down $2500. We would learn much later that most of it was built on a pack of lies (including The Lie of The Year for 2012). Screwing with most Americans Health Insurance resulted in a complete party voteout in the US House in 2010. And will there be an echo...

Is there any doubt that homosexuality and abortion are the greatest values the Democratic Party and the Mainstream media has these days? Whenever homosexuality or abortion is questioned, the Democratic party and the media throw a conniption fit. Their panties are in a wad and they come out attacking. Take those who say the states have the rights to vote issues into their constitutions and govern their own people. Lately, activist judges have called such marriage laws unconstitutional. Immediately the mainstream media and the democratic party have a cow. Recently, the state of Texas said that abortion clinics must meet...
