Have you noticed how mainstream media always frames the problems ..

of our country into the “inability of congress to get anything done” bullshit?

In other words just mix the democrats into the congressional bowl as well.. After all democrats are a part of our congress..

But I must ask..

Was it a Democratically controlled congress that decided to deregulate derivatives?
Was it a..Democratically controlled congress which passed an unfunded Tax Cut?
Was it a..Democratically controlled congress which passed an unfunded Prescription Drug Bill?
Was it a Democratically controlled congress which lead us into two unfunded wars, one illegally?
Was it a Democratically controlled congress which consistently pushed for deregulation of the
Banking Industry.. And Yea I remember Clinton’s part in this one...but it was the republi-
cans lead by Phil Gramm who lead the charge.. Clinton needs to take responsibility for
that one .

And yet the MSM fucking media seems always to lump the two parties together when ever discussing these subjects.. Its easier for them this way, instead of actually trying to pinpoint facts.

My point? That this is the reason why currently there is such little enthusiasm for GOTV in the upcoming election... The successful conflation of Dems. and Republicans by the media..

So it looks like Big Money is shifting from Christie to Jeb Bush..

My question is: Wont Jeb have to come out and publicly state his position on the Iraq War, Torture, Extradition, etc? Will this be an almost impossible task for him.. Cause essentially he will have to tread all over his brother’s legacy..

Am I wrong, cause this guy scares me a little.. His expression of an “act of love” to describe illegal immigration will be quickly forgotten if he makes it past the primaries.. And thats my hope..

So Indiana has the first case of deadly MERS in U.S... I wonder

If they are going to rely on our horrible socialized medical agencies for assistance...
You know the ones that set up Death Panels for Grandma..

Perhaps this tragic event will make people living in such Red States to perhaps think twice about their governors and legislatures who are not accepting Medicare Expansion from the ACA..

Some say if the real truth about Benghazi came out before the 2012 election....

Romney would have won.. ( Republican talking points of course)

Except, didn’t Bush win his second term after so many lies were uncovered about his war that killed over 4000 american soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi innocent civilians..???

Lets see... Solyndra, Fast and Furious, API Leak, Benghazi IRA, This is the list guys..
And they’ve got absolutely shit to show for it all.. Fucking nothing...

Guys...Huge Fire east of L.A. fueled by 60 mile an hr. winds... Uncontrollable!!

Source: Television coverage..

Uncontrollable Fire raging near L.A.

Read more: http://www.google.com/#q=etiwanda+fire&tbm=nws



Rancho Cucamonga, 25 miles from Los angeles going west.. Winds are so strong(60 miles per hr.) that fighting the fire at this point is almost impossible.At this time no water tankers are in the air..200 acres...Lots of mandatory
evacuations.. Close to 215 freeway..

This could be one of those disastrous fire events which occur about once every decade..
Lets hope not..

Update...Fire is Considered Suspicious..Early reports, not confirmed!!

I wonder how many law officials in Clark County actually support Cliven Bundy..

I would say about 80%... Now I know the number is probably slipping because these officials are beginning to understand how dangerous these idiots are.

But Imagine if Occupy Groups were hanging around the Bundy Ranch armed to the hilt, disrupting local traffic.. Jesus Christ.. everyone of them would be dead or in jai (little over stated) butl..Shame on Sheriff Gallespie for taking so little action to this point..

Bill Kristol thinks people should not get “all hysterical over two or three racists comments”...

I wonder if they were two or three anti-semetic remarks if he’d feel the same way...???

Like, you know... how, “Jews control all the banks in the country”.....

Listen to this full version of the Sterling Rants....

No words can express how out of touch he is.. My questions is this.. Is this because of the bubble he lives in? Or is it the middle stages of dementia? In any event she sounds out of touch herself.. How could she hang around this creep?... I know the money... On the other hand if she is setting him up because of the law suit.. Man what a good freaking job..

Help me out here guys..

Couple of thoughts on Korean Ferry tragedy...

What role do the owners of the ferry have... How much do they pay the crew..how much preparation and training is given to crew members and finally what kind of maintenance check was given before the ship set sail..

Seems to me that once again MSM on both sides of the ocean have a need to villainize someone or something quickly without much thought to the old saying.. “contempt before investigation"

Really??? Its come down to this?

Police over exceeding their authority with brutal acts of violence has been common play on msm lately... But exactly what the fuck is the jerk trying to accomplish by tripping kids as they harmlessly run out on the field.. What directive is he following??
