I would DEARLY love to see Col West do what he did to that terrorist in Iraq,....picture it...fire a shot beside the wimp in chiefs head and yell “OK. are you gonna knock this chit off or not?” (or you make up your own comment....the possibilities are endless ;-) LOL

[tennmountainman]

I hope one of our great Texas Freepers will start an election thread.

[smokingfrog]

Dewhurst - 69%
Cruze - 31%

[MagUSNRET]

Then again...if anyone male OR female went up against that idiot (I mean when he doesnt have hired protection in tow)....I picture him pissing himself before a single punch is thrown! Kinda like the playground bully that yells “OWIE OWIE OWIE” before anyone even hits him.

[sloop]

i would love it if west would NOT have voted for the military cuts

i would also love it if he stopped with his righteous indignation about the cuts HE VOTED FOR

[MagUSNRET]

TRUE....
But I am MORE POd at Rubio NOT supporting Bachmann! Hell, we are never going to have a “purist” in office..but damn...after all the arsekissing Rubio has gotten from so many...I kinda hoped he would have a spine!
West has his faults...but DAMN it is good to see him tell CAIR and the Black Caucus how the cow ate the cabbage!

[smokingfrog]

70

[tennmountainman]

These first numbers are coming out of Dawson County, south of Lubbock.

[sloop]

One thing: it *clearly* says in that asswipe koranimal book and hadith, to KILL, KILL, KILL all Infidels and Jews; it’s legion and that muzzie’s face should have been seriously rubbed in it. Rep West’s ass’t needs to have one handy w/ all those murderous verses highlighted for just such occasion.

The bill would end Senate confirmation proceedings for about 200 nominees, bringing the total down to about 1,000 overall.

The plan also includes an effort to cut down on the amount of paperwork needed for nominees - establishing the somewhat-bureaucratic-sounding “Working Group on Streamlining Paperwork for Executive Nominations.”

Basically, the bill would set up a better e-document system for nominees to promote a faster and more effective process for the Legislative and Executive branches.

The Senate approved this bill over a year ago - now it is finally reaching the floor of the U.S. House.

Now as for all of the positions that would no longer have to be approved by the Senate - here’s the list:

* Assistant Secretary of Agriculture for Administration
* Rural Utilities Service Administrator
* Chief Scientists, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
* Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration

* Members of the National Security Education Board

Just got an email from a neighbor who moved to Florida a couple of years ago. He wanted to tell me he loves my FB posts and shares, especially regarding Chick-fil-A!

Thanks for posting that! I really don’t have to ask about my two lower-than-whale-poo senators. And the House doing a voice vote says it all.

My congressman has never let me down in voting before, he’s the polar opposite of my lowlife senators.
