Oh, how sweet it is, karma, that is. Will the Florida Democrats lose congressional seats they fought bitterly to win? Will another round in another Florida courtroom be yet another Democrat demise in a fight they may wish they never started? Will their darling, National Democratic Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Weston) (W-S) and their Pelosi pup, Patrick Murphy, the youngest guy in Congress, be tossed under wheels of a bus that may go bust? There is a courtroom battle brewing that could be the mother-in-law of all Florida political battles as Circuit Court Judge Terry Lewis prepares to hear the Democrat...

An urgent $3.00 appeal from only 341 donors went out Monday by the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee who just had to have those pledges by Midnight! Bill Clinton is warning that “if we can’t convince the people who vote for us in presidential elections to show up in midterm elections,” America will be a “profoundly divided country.” And it’s not one now? Those little $3.00 bills, to use an old non politically correct saying that refers to someone being rather odd, will be triple matched by wealthy Democrat money men, un-named in the urgent appeal sent out even to CiR....

No matter what anyone in the DNC or RNC says, support for Obamacare is serious poison for a campaign. Forget the “scientific” surveys showing substantial support for Barack Obama’s monster among rank and file Democrats. The fiery plummet of Allyson Schwartz’s campaign to win the Democrat nomination for governor of Pennsylvania is proof that they are wrong. Standing with Obamacare is killing her. A November 2013 Public Policy Polling survey found the Obamacare supporting Schwartz with a...

Over the past several years voter fraud has been a central element of Democrat victories in many close elections. Dead voters, addled nursing home voters, non-existent voters, illegal alien voters, intimidated voters, multiple voters and ineligible felon voters have carried the day for many Democrats. Recent studies from True the Vote and other sources have established what honest observers have known for years: Democrats don’t care about anything but who counts the votes and how the count is done. Predictably Barack Obama and his Democrats laugh at Republican charges of voter fraud and insist convictions of such charges are based...

The tide is turning on the Democrats’ voter fraud schemes; and MSNBC’s Joy Reid may just be beamed up into a UFO after all. Fortified by recent court victories, public sentiment and a determination to end the Democrats’ use of fraud to steal elections, Boards of Election across the country are purging the rolls of fake and dead voters. The latest trash can of Democrat voter fraud to be kicked over is in North Carolina. The Tar Heel State’s investigation found a mind boggling number of fraudulent and expired (due to death of individual) voter registrations. Using a 28 state...

Amid assurances from some republicans, conservatives, and libertarians in Washington that the $45 billion Comcast - Time Warner merger is nothing to fear, The Washington Free Beacon's Michael Continetti reveals the deep ties Comcast CEO Brian Roberts as well as Time Warner has with the Democratic Party:

According to its website, the Associated Press is one of the “…most trusted sources of independent news gathering.” AP journalists operate “…in more than 280 locations worldwide, including every statehouse in the U.S.” AP employees have won 51 Pulitzer prizes. The AP proudly announces that its journalists “…have gone to great lengths, overcome obstacles and, too often, sacrificed to ensure that the news has been reported quickly, accurately and honestly.” Most importantly, the AP claims that the organization “…fights for freedom of the press and the public’s right to know.” (my italics) On March 26th, the Washington Post published an...

The best explanation of what the Yiddish word “chutzpah” means goes like this: A guy who has just been convicted of killing his parents begs the judge for mercy on the grounds that he is an orphan. “Chutzpah” is acting with extreme, barefaced shamelessness. When it comes to their handling of financial matters Democrats can be classified as acting either in extreme ignorance or with extreme chutzpah. We know Democrats align themselves with job killing unions and champion job killing regulations; but whether they are ignorant of how economies actually work, just practicing their usual level of chutzpah or a...

A recent visit to a Catholic church in another state brought a reminder that somewhere around 40% of Catholics who regularly attend mass are devoted Democrat voters. The car in the next space had a bumper sticker supporting a self-described Catholic Democrat well known for supporting partial birth abortions. The overt act of placing a sign on one’s car begs a few questions. Is it reasonable that in this era of effective mass communication a potential voter could fail to know what a politician’s positions are? Could a Catholic voter be engaged enough to want to place a sign on...

In a nutshell here is my take on all of the recent arrests/indictments of crooked Democrats. I believe these things are not a coincidence. When two arrests/indictments become three stories then grow to five they demand a closer look. I believe we may be seeing a bottom-level up rebellion in the Department of Justice carried out by the remaining honest FBI agents and what is left of the “Christian Adams” wing of the Department of Justice’s legal staff. These “conspirators” are daring Eric Holder and Barack Obama to try to play “whack-a-mole” all over the country. This would explain why...

In other words, stop thinking of the Democratic Party as merely a political party, because it’s much more than that. We’re not just the party of slavery, segregation, secularism, and sedition. Not just the party of Aaron Burr, Boss Tweed, Richard J. Croker, Bull Connor, Chris Dodd, Richard Daley, Bill Ayers, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Emperor Barack Hussein Obama II. Not just the party of Kendall “Agent 202” Myers, the State Department official recruited as a Cuban spy along with his wife during the Carter administration. Rather, think of the Democratic Party as what it really is: a criminal...

I’ve been a conservative Republican since my Dad, a Chicago Packard Service manager said he voted against that SOB Roosevelt 4 times. That said, a term that has been lost in the dust is “loyal opposition.” Liberals and conservatives in this constitutional republic both have a certain love of country – maybe even God – and only see the ongoing maintenance of the republic from different viewpoints. One wins an election, the other loses and becomes the loyal opposition. This is never good enough for the “progressive” mindset which seeks to destroy and rebuild our extraordinary success into a global...

Even as the Obamacare Tax Collection law he voted for begins, U. S. Representative Patrick Murphy (D) is refusing to face his constituents at the May 15 Town Hall of the St. Lucie West, Florida Taxpayers organization while all of his opponents graciously will appear. “He’s not coming,” a young male voice said over a corded phone at approximately 9:30 a.m., Friday, Mary 21. “Who’s ‘he’?” I asked as the organizer of this very important Town Hall, rather stunned at the hubris of identifying this political novice as “He,” rather than by name, Patrick. “Congressman Murphy,” the young male voice...

Kathleen G. King, Pennsylvania’s recently elected Attorney General, has decided to not file charges against 5 individuals accused of taking bribes in a sting operation begun in 2011. Tyron B. Ali, a lobyist, confidential informant and criminal himself argeed in a plea deal to wear a wire as he offered money to members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. By the time the sting ended, 4 Philadelphia politicians and former Traffic Court Judge Thomasine Tynes had taken up to $7,000 each for the sale of their political services, for example, by “voting against a bill that would require voters to...

Democrat voters are generally reflexive in their politics. They often choose to remain ignorant of what their party is doing to them because “at least they’re not [the current conservative boogeymen]; and we don’t want to vote for them.” Remember when the mere mention of the words “Halliburton,” “Gingrich” and “Palin” got Democrat rank and file as well as big donors’ tail’s wagging? Apparently,“That was then, this is now,” because even Barack Obama is sizing up his party’s fund raising problems saying, “I guess we don’t think it’s sexy enough.” This stereotypical Obama quote sums up the distinct lack of...

The junior Senator from New Jersey Democrat Corey Booker has a lot of explaining to do provided of course, someone will ask him a few questions. Since the 1970’s a parade of crooked Democrats have been siphoning off millions of dollars from The Newark Watershed Conservation Development Corporation (NWCDC) the major supplier of water to Northern New Jersey. The NWCDC has been turned into a cash cow of the type the fictional Tony Soprano would have shaken down. A recently released New Jersey State Comptroller’s report has outlined the criminality attached to this operation just from the last several years...

When the UAW failed miserably in Chattanooga and was not able to unionize the Volkswagen plant, even with a staked deck, it started a chain reaction and the next domino has fallen. The news that the AFL-CIO has decided to keep its money and not even try to save three Southern Democrat Senators comes as no real shock. The powerful union reviewed the polls and the political climate in North Carolina, Louisiana and Arkansas and decided backing the Democrats in these states would be throwing good money after bad. The decision left Democrat Senators Mark Pryor in Arkansas, Mary Landrieu...

The election of Bill de Blasio as New York’s mayor was a dream comes true for America’s progressives. Not only has one of their own grabbed the top job in the country’s biggest city, but his Working Families Party has total (48/3) control of the City Council to support him. There is now no progressive program de Blasio cannot put into place. He is limited only by his own imagination. Sure those “meanies” in Albany can throw a few road blocks in front of him and briefly stall his plans, but in the end he’ll get his way. The far...

Thomas Sowell clearly doesn’t like Ted Cruz. As a comfortable member of the tiny “acceptable conservative” journalist corps and a Black man he has a unique and comfortable position. He will not be attacked by liberals because they don’t dare do so. He will not be attacked by conservatives because THEY don’t dare do so. Each side takes its position for different reasons but the net result is the same. Last Saturday a column by Sowell attacked Ted Cruz in the type of defeatist language that usually comes from sell-outs like John McCain, John Boehner or Paul Ryan. After an...

Democrat former Congressman and pal of Jesse Jackson, Mel Reynolds is the same old piece of dung he always was. Democrat politicians like Reynolds don’t change. They are loathsome creatures. We in the civilized non-Democrat world thought we were rid of Reynolds, but his recent arrest in Zimbabwe for over staying his visa failing to pay a $24,500 hotel bill and making porno movies proved us wrong. Those who are not familiar with this classic example of a Democrat politician are warned to hold their nose as they read further. Democrat Reynolds is a convicted child rapist. In 1992 when...
