How McConnell and GOP Aims to Stop Trump Surge: Their Red or Blue Pill Option

McConnell Could Not Stop Mr. Obama from a Second Term as Promised

McConnell's New Mission: Stop Trump as GOP Nominee

Here Mitch Old Boy - Making It Easy for You

I don't know how true this story is or not, but it makes sense knowing how bad Mitch McConnell's is about with his nasty stunts and track record up to this point has been in a word, piss poor, but this about one just about takes the proverbial cake ... that story from here and also at a number of other sources.

If all fails old Mitch can always call on the GOP's #1 dirty trickster, Karl Christian Rove, who has already proven how wrong he can be, but he does have a ready supply of nasty stuff up his sleeve nevertheless.

Rove even predicted Romney's win on live TV (via FAUX naturally discussing the Ohio numbers – seen here and later called the “Rove Meltdown”). Also, in print here.

This outta get some media attention for a week or so ... I can't wait to see how that is spun and plays out.

Senators Up for Reelection and Six More Years: Caution Needed in Each Case

Blue (10 DEM seats) ; Red (24 GOP seats): Up for Reelection

(More details here on each race (state, party, date)

Typical GOPer Incumbent Seeking Votes

(Mike Pence in Indiana)

GOP Senators up for reelection this cycle may rely on this campaign slogan that goes something like this: 

“Vote for me and I will totally, lock-step, and 100% support our leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell in his pledge not to do anything until after January 20, 2017, when a Republican takes over the Oval Office from that fake phony Muslim now sitting there illegally. 

These are my specific promises:

(1) I will 100% not support any Obama Supreme Court nominee; (2) I will oppose and vote no on any funding for Planned Parenthood; (3) I will absolutely continue to oppose and work to repeal Obama-care – that job-killer; (4) I will stand for a new AUMF against Syria; and, (5) and for sure I will work to hold more commission investigations of Benghazi until we nail Hillary Clinton.

That is my pledge to you and the American people. Please send your campaign contribution to me ASAP.

Now this short clip update from the GOP “leader” – Sen. Mitch McConnell – more details here:

Just hours after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, McConnell announced that he would confirm no one President Obama nominates to fill the seat, adding in part: “This vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”

Now, however, McConnell appears to be having second thoughts — not about blocking Mr. Obama’s nominee per se since he is fully committed to that position, but about whether it is a good idea to allow the next president to fill the seat either.

Wow. Stay tuned – it ain’t over till it’s over.

Pop Quiz: How Many Weasels Can Run or Ruin Government? Just Ask the GOP

Despite GOP Denial, There is a GOP War on Women

(open your eyes and see)

FOX Minions Across the Board Support and Defend the GOP

(Any Danger to America? Try Watching Fox)

This topic should motivate every woman in the country, but it won't that is obvious. Nevertheless there is a war on women in America and the main driver of that train out of control is the GOP despite all the denial otherwise. Opinion and views can never displace facts and that is what we are dealing with today - that is for anyone who bothers to be open-minded and fair in their assessment.

This story emphasizes this point in part here:

Despite a complete lack of evidence that Planned Parenthood is breaking any laws, Republican lawmakers are pressing ahead with their relentless crusade against the national women’s health organization.

A series of heavily edited videos accusing Planned Parenthood of selling aborted baby parts continues to influence the national debate, even though it’s become clear those claims aren’t based in fact. Last month, a Houston grand jury concluded that Planned Parenthood hasn’t done anything wrong. Every state-level investigation into the group has come up empty.

But that’s made no difference to the GOP politicians who are insistent on using this discredited information to attack Planned Parenthood. It’s working. In several states this week, Republican leaders successfully advanced their efforts to undermine the organization’s work.

State actions follow at the link – check them out.

The GOP across the board should be ashamed. Take a stand with Planned Parenthood – the courts have even though the GOP hardliners have not – how ironic is that (Cite: Texas ruling)… ouch.

Trump Dominates the Headlines With More Asinine Stuff: PR Showman for Sure

I can’t believe I actually said that crap!!!

(and with so many people who love me, too)

First of all definition from this source, Donald J. Trump by most expert measurement suffers from “megalomania which is a psycho-pathological disorder wherein a person experiences delusional fantasies of greatness, wealth, grandeur, omnipotence and superiority. A person with this type of (dare I say) mental illness will be obsessed with doing extravagant things, will think only about themselves, will not have any concern for others and will have lust for power and money. A megalomaniac person will also exaggerate his/or her talent in an unrealistic egoistic way, consider them as unique and will be self- centered. According to the experts, this mental disorder is related to Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) which means self-love.”

Does that sound like Trump or not?

Now a new headlines to emphasize how dangerously sick this man truly is. A great PR artist, a slickster, indeed a Flim-Flam king, par excellence, but one who should never be anywhere near the White House, let alone sitting in the Oval Office as Commander-in-Chief, period. That story from here (NY Daily News), in part:

Donald Trump's tough talk on terrorism took a bizarre and bloodthirsty turn Friday as he gleefully retold a stomach-turning tall tale about Muslim extremists being killed with bullets that had been dipped in pig’s blood. His supporters rabidly cheered him on as the GOP presidential front-runner turned myth into his own reality, telling them at a rally in North Charleston, S.C., about U.S. Gen. John Pershing supposedly executing dozens of Muslims held prisoner in the Philippines.

Continue at the link.

Sadly, his supporters love this kind of crap. The question is why and what does it say about our overall national sanity. How about (maybe) it be redefined in one word: ugly.

Stay tuned and watch SC results and then beyond.

Memo for Mr. and Mrs. Gee Old Poops: Your Preaching is Fake and Phony

GOP's Fav Menu Dish

(About the same as a plate of cold crow)

Counter to Most Important GOP Bullshit

(Obama is weak on defense by cutting the military)

As simple as I can say it: The GOP is full of it and that quote kinda proves the point.

So, what shall we do about the JCS Vice Chairman and this his honest assessment?

What does the GOP have in store for him and his fate? 

Simple: Bring the guilty bastard in, give him a fair trial, and then hang him out to dry – sound familiar?

So, why so harsh? Of course of his utter heresy. Call it a WTF moment or maybe a Rick Perry “oops” realization.  The General basically throws the entire GOP, FOX types, and Talk Radio gasbags all under the proverbial bus and rightly so. 

I couldn’t resist this post for a number of obvious reasons. This GOP is so pathetic that it nearly defies gravity itself.

Utter Insanity, Total Madness, and Shear Craziness: This Scenario

Trump and His Newest, Maybe Closest, and Most-Trusted Adviser in Confab

What the hell are they talking about - let's listen in shall we?

BTW: This post is for all the T-rump lovers who read this and believe me, there are a few I suspect. Just chew on this headline which is a piece of utter insanity, absolute nuttiness, and shear craziness: 

Donald Trump Says He Would Seek Sean Hannity's Advice on VP Choice 

The story here from Media Matters >>> Extract of that confab:

• SEAN HANNITY:  “Do you give any thought to a VP choice?” 
• DONALD TRUMP:  “I don't give much thought to it, and look, there are so many out there. So many really good, talented people, and I would have maybe two or three. But I don't want to think about it, I want to think about closing the deal. I want to close the deal. I want do get it done. Get it closed, get it -- and we have plenty of time. I would speak to lots of people about it, and… ”  
• HANNITY:  “Who?” 
• TRUMP:  “Including you, by the way.” 
• HANNITY:  “Right.”

Okay, contest time – my short list of Hannity’s recommendations to Trump:

1. Michelle “Goofy” Malkin?
2. Flush Rimbowl?
3. Michael “Maniac” Savage?
4. Mark “Crazy” Levin?
5. Ann “Who” Coulter?
6. Maybe one of Uncle “Ruppy” Murdoch or Mitt “47%” Romney’s sons just for fun?
7. Sarah “Half Term Gov” Palin (hell by not)?
8. Or, even Sean “Door Knob Dumb” Hannity himself ... just for kicks.

Place your bets and then stop and ask: Is Trump really as smart as he says he is? Seems doubtful.

Billionaires Trying to Buy this Electon: Former Canadian Cruz's Fearsome Foursome

Free at Last, Good God Almighty, Free at Last!!!

Here, Go Run for President

(call if you want or need more)

WASHINGTON, DC (re: The AP): Four of America's wealthiest businessmen laid the foundation for Ted Cruz's now-surging Republican presidential campaign with $36 million committed last year alone by these 4 donors. One of those donors is Texas billionaire who in fact moved his residence to Puerto Rico after that island government carved out a lucrative new tax haven for wealthy U.S. investors like him. His name is Toby Neugebauer, co-founder of Quantum Energy Partners, a Houston-based private equity firm, and who happens to be the son of Texas congressman Randy Neugebauer.  

Right next to Cruz is Rubio, who has many millionaires in his pocket. So, folks, when they say it’s not about the money, believe it – it’s about the money, and of course the loads of favors down the line for all that money.

How about this from Cruz – a partial list to date:

• Cruz tried to claim that the radical Christian domestic terrorist that shot up a Planned Parenthood was actually a transgender liberal activist. (No, that’s not a joke.)
• Cruz twice tried to exploit the graves of dead veterans to push an attack on President Obama that’s not based on any sort of reality known on this planet.
• Cruz has done interviews with the American Family Association, an organization classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
• Cruz as a member of Congress, helped perpetuate the belief that Army Operation “Jade Helm” was, in fact, President Obama’s attempt to declare martial law and confiscate guns.
• Cruz spoke incredibly highly of former GOP Sen. Jesse Helms, saying we needed “100 more” just like him. Yes, that Jesse Helms, the man who once called UNC the “University of Negros and Communists.”  He also called the Civil Rights Act “dangerous” and he filibustered it trying to prevent it from allowing the creation of a federal holiday to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Helms was also known to go out of his way to try to block the appointment of African-American judges. He was a supporter of South African apartheid. And in 1988, Helms openly blamed the AIDS epidemic on homosexuals.
• Cruz recently tried to claim he had “lost” health care because of “Obamacare” – a statement his campaign eventually admitted wasn’t true.
• Cruz called for “carpet bombing” of ISIS despite the fact that military experts have routinely said that you can’t “carpet bomb” ISIS because it would literally kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
• But Cruz continues to use that phrase in an effort to come across and sound “tough on terror” when, in fact, by doing so he clearly shows that he has no idea what the hell he’s talking about.
• Cruz once referred to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party as “bigots for defending voting rights.” 

Yeah, that Rafael Edward “TED” Cruz, call him the fake American born in Canada and only recently renounced that birth status re: this story from FOX (of all places):

Footnote from Austin, Texas: Cruz finally has given up his Canadian citizenship from his native country, thus making good on a promise he made in 2014. Cruz's Spokesperson, Catherine Frazier, said he, a TEA Party favorite, formally gave up his citizenship May 14, 2014, and he has received an official confirmation of the action at his Houston home Tuesday from Canada. 

Frazier added:  “Sen. Cruz is pleased to have the process finalized and that it makes sense he should be only an American citizen.” 

Note: Cruz was born in Alberta, Canada in 1970 to a Cuban citizen and American-born mother, thus by some reasoning that makes him eligible to run for president and thus sit in the Oval office of the White House.  Many say Trump would be a dangerous and incompetent president, which is happens to be substantially true, but Cruz would be worse by far. This GOP is weak all across the board.

How to Spell Bigtime Weasel — With a Capital "B" as in Billionaire of Course

Here ya' go: For your campaign for Congress or the White House

(More if you need - just let us know)

Excellent piece here - FYI - that is for those interested in shutting off the greenback spigot in DC and around the country now in firmly in place since 2010 and that dreadful Citizens United 5-4 USSC decision. This piece originally appeared on Tom Dispatch. 

People often say (mostly those on the right wing side): "We have to take our country back." Which means in common lingo: take it back from current W/H occupant, Mr. Obama, and natch any DEM in office - ergo: we must stop their damage to the country and their zeal to "take away our guns," etc., etc., yada, yada, yap, yap.  Were it true.

Oddly enough, though is those same voices seldom if ever mention the handful of billionaires buying and selling candidates for their own greed and power extension, as if it weren't long and deep enough already. But, I digress.

From the story with this introduction, in part:

Q: How do you respond to a rampaging bull of a billionaire in the political arena?  

A:  In America in 2016, the answer is obvious. You send in not the clowns, but the matador: another billionaire, of course. 

Now, Michael Bloomberg is threatening to enter the race as a third-party candidate. According to the New York Times, he’s considering spending at least $1 billion of his $36 billion (or is it almost $49 billion?) fortune if it looks like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders (just about the only candidate in the race not backed by billionaires and so an obvious threat to any billionaire around) might truly be nominated for president. 

Of course, if he wanted to, Bloomberg could dump billions into an election run, since he may be worth 11 or more Donald Trumps.  If he could potentially tip the election to the Republicans or, if no one ends up with a majority in the Electoral College, even put it in the House for resolution thus making Speaker Paul Ryan the equivalent of the Supreme Court we saw in Bush v. Gore after the 2000 mess.

From the NY Times this short reminder:

Just 158 families, along with companies they own or control, contributed $176 million in the first phase of the campaign, a New York Times investigation found.

Not since before Watergate have so few people and businesses provided so much early money in a campaign, most of it through channels legalized by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision five years ago.

Stories continue at the two links. Enjoy and then if you can pitch in try and help reverse this mess — the "how as always" is the imperative.
