Speaking of wingnuts, this guy, Kent Clizbe, claims that Obama is from an anti-traditional America thinking and his administration is doing all it can to change the nation in the wrong way. He also claims that the reason China and Russia won't turnover Snowden is because they don't respect the Obama administration. You can't make this kind of delusional thinking up. These fecktards really believe this crap.

A quick Google search yields Clizbe as a bit of a kook and he uses his apparent CIA background to plant himself as some sort of authority on topics and a subject matter expert of sorts. He apparently stalked and harassed Dr. Michael Mann about his research on climate change. It's laughable when right-wing talk radio hosts resort to bringing in these kind of asshats to spread their tripe. Unfortunately, the listeners believe this crap.
 
anything wrong around the world...blame Obama.

errr Republicans will still lose.

btw the 2016 presidential election will be decided in Florida with who becomes Governor. If Charlie Crist wins 100% certain Dems will win in 2016. Even if Scot wins, Dems have better than 60% chance of winning in 2016.

The DEMS don't need Florida anymore to win an election.
 
Words escape me...




I suppose Rand's rise in the TP was that he knew dad was never getting elected so his only chance was to align himself with the radical right.
 
I've read a few politicians are giving up some of their pay (not much) but curious how many others are. Especially those raging right-wingnuts that claim they want to take the country back and all.
 
Right-wing radio personality Lars Larson claims homosexuals only took their fight to the Supreme Court for money. Not for love or equal rights or various other rights. Only for money.
 
Some little shit who failed at being a local politician here is trying to stop gay marriage in the state. Andy Pugno, the cnut who wrote Prop 8. Why don't these pricks just mind their own business?
 
Someone on my facbook just wrote that one of doctors they used for expert opinion for the Texas abortion laws was a dentist. A fecking dentist. Do babies have too many teeth or something?

‘Erotic grammy’ romance author GOP candidate in Colorado

One of the Republican candidates vying to replace embattled Colorado Senate President John Morse is an erotict romance author who says on a video posted on her Amazon authtor’s website that she got into the craft because she “likes happy endings.”

Jaxine Bubis — who wrote such titles as “Beantown Heat” and “A Hard Place to Find” under the pen name “Jaxine Daniels” — was outed by Colorado Springs gun store owner Paul Paradis, who helped lead the recall effort against Morse.

In an interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation, Paradis said he’s not a prude — “different strokes for different folks,” he said — but that he spread the word about Bubis’ writing because he was dismayed at the number of “far-right, Christian-right [members] of the Republican Party” who jumped to endorse her without knowing her background.

Among them are Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and several conservative state lawmakers.

“When you pick somebody to run for office, you should know something about them,” Paradis said. “But personally, I don’t think she’s the right candidate based on her writings.”

He added that he considered Bubis’ books to be “softcore pornography.”

Paradis first heard about her writing, he said, from people who said she was known in some circles as the “erotic grammy.”

“This is not going to be a good candidate for a race that’s going to be watched nationally and internationally,” he said, adding that he knows Bubis campaigned hard to see Morse recalled, “but I don’t know that that’s enough to run for office.”

On her “about me” video, Bubis says she’s an emergency medical technician who has done search-and-rescue, and that she’s an avid fan of ice hockey, both of which are subjects that provide backdrops to some of her romance novels. Her profile on t, a website for authors and readers, shows that she has published nine books, most of which appear to be out of print and unavailable.

“This summer, the Puritan City is anything but,” reads a summary of “Beantown Heat” on a romance novel review site. “‘Beantown Heat,’ an anthology of sensual romance, is made up of three different, themed romances that sizzle. Three Boston College staff members will have a summer they won’t soon forget.”
 
My god, republican congressman from Oklahoma, Doug Cox, trying to actually speak some sense to these idiots. Sadly, it'll probably get him primaried and culled.


All of the new Oklahoma laws aimed at limiting abortion and contraception are great for the Republican family that lives in a gingerbread house with a two-car garage, two planned kids and a dog. In the real world, they are less than perfect.
As a practicing physician (who never has or will perform an abortion), I deal with the real world. In the real world, 15- and 16-year-olds get pregnant (sadly, 12-, 13- and 14-year-olds do also). In the real world, 62 percent of women ages 20 to 24 who give birth are unmarried. And in the world I work and live in, an unplanned pregnancy can throw up a real roadblock on a woman’s path to escaping the shackles of poverty.
Yet I cannot convince my Republican colleagues that one of the best ways to eliminate abortions is to ensure access to contraception. A recent attempt by my fellow lawmakers to prevent Medicaid dollars from covering the “morning after” pill is a case in point. Denying access to this important contraceptive is a sure way to increase legal and back-alley abortions. Moreover, such a law would discriminate against low-income women who depend on Medicaid for their health care.
…
Is my thinking too clouded by my experiences in the real world? Experiences like having a preacher, in the privacy of an exam room say, “Doc, you have heard me preach against abortion but now my 15-year-old daughter is pregnant, where can I send her?” Or maybe it was that 17-year-old foreign exchange student who said, “I really made a mistake last night. Can you prescribe a morning-after pill for me? If I return to my home country pregnant, life as I know it will be over.”
What happened to the Republican Party that felt that the government has no business being in an exam room, standing between me and my patient? Where did the party go that felt some decisions in a woman’s life should be made not by legislators and government, but rather by the women, her conscience, her doctor and her God?​
 
On a slightly different note, just watched an old clip of Jon Stewart on Millionaire comedy edition. fecking hilarious stuff:

 
Well the people in that state, outside of Austin and small pockets of sane citizens throughout, are the ones that keep electing persons based on being white (mostly), christian, loving guns, and whatever other criteria fits. I have not resided in Texas since early 2003 and therefore have not cast a single vote in the state. But seeing pricks like Perry and ilk just make me cringe.

One of the women he made the unwanted advances to is a retired Navy Rear Admiral, there is a joke to made in there someplace.

Going back to the Weiner case I want to smack the one woman involved, with her whining about how he lied, took advantage of her, manipulated her. Really? You started sexting with a guy who had gotten in trouble for doing that before and you feel manipulated by him? Oh please. Now she is 23 so still young but old enough to know better especially since she knew his previous issues.

On top of that it seems he had been promissing her a condo and a spot on some panel for political bloggers. I think there is a chance that she was a more than willing participant, knew exactly what she was doing, and was doing it in hopes of getting some favors. So yeah he was probably lieing about getting her these things, but she should not have been sexting with him in an attempt to get them. So I do not feel sorry for her and it annoys me that she will get to play the "victim" card here when most likely she knew exactly what she was doing and was a willing participant.


He of course has pretty much doomed his future in politics for the near term at least, though never underestimate the power of American voters to forgive. It sounds like his wife has reached her last straw also, stood by him once but doubt she will do so again especially since it involves more than just this one woman.

Will imagine the Democratic Party will pull any support they were giving him, not sure how much support he had though.
 
I don't see the problem with sexting. Nobody knows what was going on between him and his wife but he only pretended to feck other women.
 
Bob Ney and Elliot Spitzer do not have a problem with Weiner being in office if the public elects him. They cited that what Weiner has done pales in comparison to what Clinton and JFK did with women. Countless others (Gingrich comes to mind) have done more so outside of their marriage.

in the end it will be up to first of all the Dems if they want to keep supporting him right now he is falling behind by as much as 9 percentage points to the leading Democratic in the primary.

Right now since he is just running in the Democrat primary what the Repubs say doesn't matter except that it will give the Dems an idea of how the issue might be used in a general election.
 
Weiner is done.
Filner is done, although he'll have to go the hard way.
Spitzer may have a political pulse, however.
 
So Obama thinks Summers would be a good pick for Fed chair. What a dick move that would be, and also proof positive that he's as much of a sellout as anyone else in Washington. Summers is one of the Wall Street masters-of-the-universe assholes that pushed for the repeal of Glass-Steagall, and one of the main players in exempting derivatives from regulation.
