One item Republicans need to address. We have to stop being so nice when talking about Democrats. We need to stop saying “the other side” or “the left” or “the progressives” or anything else that means anything less than the entire Democrat Party. Too many Republicans try to play nice and get their butts kicked over and over.

For sure,if bubba can’t do a much better job hillary won’t have a chance. He is her only hope for pulling out a long shot election chance.

-- WELL GO TO HELL THAT IS THEIR DAMN JOB! --

Actually, the court's view/presumption (which is rebuttable) is that the government bodies are acting in concert, and within the constitution. The only time the courts want to be involved is when an entity OUTSIDE the government makes a claim.

When George Bush's administration created a new court (the constitution give court creation to Congress), the courts did nothing until a person who was IN that court, sued with an argument that the court was unconstitutional, because it wasn't a creation of Congress. If Congress had sued Bush for creating a court, SCOTUS likely would have said "no standing, and we know of no injury to the people on account of this court."

Congress punting to the courts is because Congress wants zero accountability. Same reason that Congress creates agencies. This way, nothing that happens is Congress's fault.

[rodguy911]

Val/jar now saying you just can’t believe those polls from a an administration that lives by the polls just too good!!!
Val/jar sounding so sweet and soft.

[rodguy911]

Hard to say may never end.

[rodguy911]

I’M way ahead of you!! I stopped being nice to commie dems long ago!!!

[thefoundersrock]

Just watching the interview of Bill Clinton on Meet The Press now - am I the only one who thinks this is a complete disaster of an interview?

[Morgan in Denver]

Understood but I don’t mean you or me. I’m talking about our various congress critters and national pundits. With some notable exceptions such as Rush, too many are unwilling to put the blame where it belongs; with the Democrat Party as a whole.

[upchuck]

Obamas look hip chic and young and Clintons look worn out tired and on their last legs.

It's all just part of the scheme to make Killary the next pres.

[rodguy911]

Absolutely!

If we as a party don't speak out vis a vi right vs. wrong we will have no standing. It's not hard to do!

Did the dog really eat the homework? Is a marine really in jail for making a wrong turn? Who traded four top Taliban prisoners from Club Gitmo plus 50 million bucks in cash for one traitor? Did the regime really advertise for a company to watch 65,000 illegals long before they got here? Was it all planned?

The abuses of the left goes on and on and on. And if we can't even place the blame where it belongs and then make our case we won't have a case to make.

You are absolutely right bud.

The voting public is to the Right of the general population since it takes a certain amount of knowledge and effort to actually vote...

I disagree. More and more voters, as well as the general public, want bigger government and more "free stuff." Couple that with rapidly changing demographics fueled by massive immigration, legal and illegal, over the last 25 years and you have the formula for a permanent Democrat majority.

- In the fourth quarter of 2011, 49.2 percent of Americans received benefits from one or more government programs, according to data released Tuesday by the Census Bureau.

In total, the Census Bureau estimated, 151,014,000 Americans out of a population then estimated to be 306,804,000 received benefits from one or more government programs during the last three months of 2011. Those 151,014,000 beneficiaries equaled 49.2 percent of the population.

Also among the 151,014,000 who received benefits from one or more government programs during that period: 49,901,000 who collected Social Security; 49,073,000 who got food stamps; 46,440,000 on Medicare; 23,228,000 in the Women, Infants and Children program, 20,223,000 getting Supplemental Security Income;13,433,000 who lived in public or subsidized rental housing; 5,098,000 who got unemployment; 3,178,000 who got veterans' benefits; and 364,000 who got railroad retirement benefits.

Every cohort that turns 18 annually is more minority and more Democrat. By 2019 half the children 18 and under will be minorities and by 2043 we will be a majority-minority country. In 1970 one in 21 was foreign-born; today, it is one in 8, the highest in 90 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7 the highest in our history. There are electoral consequences associated with these demographic changes. The message of limited government, fiscal prudence, and lower taxes doesn't resonate with the emerging new majority.

There is only one GOP politician out there that gets it when it comes to changing the way the GOP approaches a changing electorate--Jeff Sessions.

Becoming the Party of Work--How the GOP can help struggling Americans, and itself.

"When Americans went to the polls in 2012, the following was true: Work-force participation had sunk to its lowest level in 35 years, wages had fallen below 1999 levels, and 47 million Americans were on food stamps. Yet Mitt Romney, the challenger to the incumbent president, lost lower- and middle-income voters by an astonishing margin. Among voters earning $30,000 to $50,000, he trailed by 15 points, and among voters earning under $30,000 he trailed by 28 points.

And what did the GOP’s brilliant consultant class conclude from this resounding defeat? They declared that the GOP must embrace amnesty. The Republican National Committee dutifully issued a report calling for a “comprehensive immigration reform” that would inevitably increase the flow of low-skilled immigration, reducing the wages and living standards of the very voters whose trust the GOP had lost.

Over the past four decades, as factories were shuttered and blue-collar jobs were outsourced or automated, net immigration quadrupled. Yet the corporate-consultant class has pronounced that an insufficient level of immigration is the problem. A more colossal misreading of the political moment has rarely occurred.

Perhaps the most important political development now unfolding in the U.S. is the public’s growing loss of faith in our political and financial elites of both parties. To open the ears of disaffected voters, the GOP must break publicly from the elite immigration consensus of Wall Street and Davos. Republicans have a clear path to building a conservative majority if they free themselves from the corporate consultants and demonstrate to the American public that the GOP is the only party aligned with the core interests, concerns, and beliefs of everyday hardworking citizens.

[Son House]

Reminded of the rescue, when they were going back to the CIA annex, they were attacked by ak47 machine gun fire and grenade hits, where are these terrorist and why aren’t they in Gitmo???

[Son House]

Yep, that’s why I repeat all Democrats have bad judgement and make poor decisions, it fits precisely and can be explained better than just saying they’re stupid and having to argue with one of their low information supporters.

[hal ogen]

LOL. :)

Above is a story that won’t get too much attention but it deserves to.
It’s about actress Amy Adams. She gave recently up her first class seat on a plane to a soldier she had never met.Not particularly seeking recognition she got it anyway and deservedly so. With all the deservedly bad press Hollywierd gets it nice to see some of them that actually get it.

[rodguy911]

YOu have an excellent well documentd point. So far the losers are not voting with any huge force. Let’s hope that trend does not change.IMHO, we have been beating ourselves since 2008.

[rodguy911]

Great question. Rumors are there are 30+ of them that are either in jail, hospitals, being drugged or having the living sh-t scared out of them if they dare open their mouth.

[DanZ]

” The GOP was out of power for decades, and when they got it back, they didn’t know how to handle it, “

I absolutely refuse to believe this BULL. My local Texas House member is a committee chair. He is in a very conservative House district. Yet he has a NEGATIVE Madison index. The man is a self aggrandizing RINO

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

[kabar]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The GOPe is delusional. And both parties have abandoned the American worker. Their corporate paymasters are more important than the welfare of the individual citizen and our national survival. This can only end badly.

[rodguy911]

Here’s another goodon regarding ow the VA mispends its dough
http://www.hapblog.com/2014/06/va-spent-at-least-420-million-on-solar.html
400 million spent on solar panels while our guys die and can’t be seen due to criminality at the VA.
