Republican Hypocrites attack Obama

Republican Mess about Ukraine

The following is one of the best expressions of the frustrations of Republican Moderates against the Republican Right wing nuts. 

Its' written by Anthony J. Chibbaro

The Soviet Union crushed the Hungarian Revolution and Republican President Dwight Eisenhower wisely stayed out of it - instead of starting WWIII - he did the same when the Soviet Union crushed the Czech Uprising.

The INSANE Repubilican NeoCon warmongers in the Republican Party would have US go to war with Russia over the Ukraine.

The same Republican NeoCon insane warmongers who LIED US into wars with Iraq and Afghanistan.

I guess Russia does NOT understand - it is ONLY the US Empire that can conduct wars - illegal and unnecessary - against countries all over planet Earth.

So Britain came to Poland's aid after Germany attacked that country - after Britain's offer of aid caused the Anti-Semetic Government of Poland to cease negotiations with Germany to return the German city of Danzig back to Germany - taken away after WWI - Germany attacked. The net result for Poland? - Soviet domination for 60+ years - WWII.

Sorry - but while Ann Coulter makes valid criticisms of DemocRAT Presidents - the Ukraine is NONE of our business.

As to Khrushchev - described by Richard Nixon as have the sharpest quickest brightest mind of any leader with who he interfaced.

While I am NOT a fan of Obama - I detest the Republican NeoCon warmongers.

Gov. Perry Unable to Find Vagina on Anatomical Doll

Gov. Perry Unable to Find Vagina on Anatomical Doll
http://thelapine.ca/gov-perry-unable-to-find-vagina-on-anatomical-doll/ 

In a skirmish at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston about the state’s new ultra-restrictive abortion law, Democratic Senator Wendy Davis angrily told Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry he knows nothing about human reproduction or women’s vaginas.

“You don’t have to own an SUV to know where to pump the gas,” responded Perry, drawing immediate boos from the small lecture hall full of med students and from some of the media in attendance.

As the governor’s press handlers started to interrupt, Perry waved them off and stepped up to an anatomically-correct ‘female’ doll used in medical training that was laying on an examining table in the room.
“I’m not stupid.  Those are the vagina right there,” said Perry, pointing at but not touching the labi majora, the visible protruding edges leading in to the vagina.

As CNN reported, the room went quiet for a very brief second before erupting in “loud, loud laughter and what-the-f’s.”  Over the noise, Senator Davis could be heard repeating over and over, “Are you kidding me?  Are you kidding me?”

Perry has been heavily criticized by large numbers of Texans and other Americans for signing into law House Bill 2 which bans abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy and sets restrictive conditions that will shut down the vast majority of the state’s women’s health clinics that provide the service.  The clinics that will remain in business are owned by United Surgical Partners, a company marketed by Perry’s sister, Milla Perry Jones, who is also a shareholder.

As reporters began shouting questions at Governor Perry, he and security team agents huddled around the medical-training doll with Chief of Staff Billy B. Adair seen talking quietly into Perry’s ear.
“Hell, I was close,” said Perry, shrugging to the crowd in the room as he was shuffled out of the room speaking back over his shoulder.

“It’s all about protecting unborn life not about where some gal’s body parts are.  I knew it was there somewhere…” he could be heard saying as his voice trailed off into the hallway.

Senator Davis, who filibustered the first attempt to pass the abortion bill, said she couldn’t stop laughing because Perry’s comments were so “scary, scary stupid.”

“He just compared women’s bodies to his Chevy Suburban,” said Davis loudly over the buzz of talking in the room.

“Governor Perry couldn’t find a vagina today.  Governor Perry couldn’t find a vagina even if you put a post-it note on it.”

Allen West persists because the good for nothing Republican majority won't do a thing about it.

Evil persists because good men do nothing about it, Allen West persists because the good for nothing Republican majority won't do anything about it, but I am speaking out.

 

Allen West has a few losers who applaud him for making stupid statements like that - as long as we have them in our party, he will keep doing it. He should learn that idiots like Santorum, Gingrich and their likes were badly turned down by the Republicans. Extremism and ugliness have no place in America.

 

Republicans need to get their act together, before the American public including Republicans puke on them in 2014.

Allen West: Muslims Are All 'Honor Killings, Beheadings, Suicide Bombings'
The Huffington Post  |  By Nick Wing

Former Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) boiled down the entire religion of Islam to "honor killings, beheadings [and] suicide bombings" in a message tweeted Monday night in response to a column by comedian Bill Cosby.


Last week, Cosby wrote an op-ed in the New York Post encouraging African American communities to abandon apathy in an effort to better raise the next generation. In one passage, Cosby suggested that some parents could take cues from Muslims:

I’m a Christian. But Muslims are misunderstood. Intentionally misunderstood. We should all be more like them. They make sense, especially with their children. There is no other group like the Black Muslims, who put so much effort into teaching children the right things, they don’t smoke, they don’t drink or overindulge in alcohol, they protect their women, they command respect. And what do these other people do?

Allen West        ✔ @AllenWest

2day in NY Post, Bill Cosby said we should b more like Muslims. U mean honor killings, beheadings, suicide bombings? Hope ur kidding sir.

They complain about them, they criticize them. We’d be a better world if we emulated them. We don’t have to become black Muslims, but we can embrace the things that work.

West responded in a tweet ignoring the values that Cosby had chosen to highlight. Here's how he explained Muslim behavior instead:

West was an outspoken critic of Islam and Muslims throughout his short tenure in Congress. In 2011, a member of the Council on Islamic-American Relations questioned the tea party-backed congressman, asking him clarify an earlier claim that the Quran commands Muslims "to carry out attacks against Americans and innocent people." West appeared upset at the man's defense of moderate Islam, telling him not to "try to blow sunshine up my butt." West had long contended that CAIR had ties to extremist groups.

CAIR got the last laugh earlier this year, however, when the organization auctioned off a letter written by West to its Florida chapter for more than $2,500.
Thank you.

Sequestration 2013 - a republican political mess

It’s a ransom - if you do that, we will do this. Neither Obama administration nor the Republicans budged from their positions to realign the cuts in expenditures and enhancement of revenues to balance the budget.


We can survive this $85 billion cut, but is this how we deal with the national issues?

Republicans are assuming that we are not going to make it in 2014, so what the heck, let’s do the thing that needs to be done any way and make Obama look bad. Our intention smells foul.

We have to balance the budget; we cannot spend more than we collect. Indeed, we had a balanced budget when President Clinton left. However President Bush, the macho man loaded with revenge seeking testosterone's had to lie to us to go to war and that is where our destruction began. His actions killed over 5000 of our soldiers and nearly a million Afghans and Iraqis – for what? He piled up a reckless debt of $10 Trillion dollars. That was irresponsible, had he done what Obama did, to go get that one guy Bin-Laden; we would not be in this mess today. Cheney and Bush owe an apology to the nation, their karma is messed up, but they have messed us up.

The blame must be placed squarely on the party leadership. The Republican Party programs its members to be sheepish; to shut up and listen to the boss. How many Republican were belligerent towards Bush? We are freaking conformists in a free nation. We have become cowards and don’t have the balls to speak out against our own. It is time to change. I see hope in Chris Christie, John Huntsman, Colin Powell and many more that are speaking up, and add to that list, this little man from Dallas, Texas who will relentlessly pursue the case for sanity in our party.

Had we questioned President Bush and demanded the truth from him, we would have saved the nation, but that is behind, right now, we have to cut spending. Cannot continue with deficit financing of our state.

President Obama needs to be aggressive in cutting spending; there is a lot of wasteful spending that needs to be cut. Let it begin with huge pay cuts for the elected representatives, not the ones who make less than $100,000 but any pay check above that. They can demonstrate to the nation that they mean business.


The Republicans on the other hand need to have some common sense, we cannot go cold turkey on budget cuts, and it has to be a gradual and balanced approach over a period of 6 years without hurting the economy. But cuts, we must make.

The good thing about Moderate Republicans is they care for their country more than their party and they will save the party and not the right wingers among us. We need to have a simple (not the arrogant) majority in the house and Democrats to have the simple majority in the Senate. These guys need to fight and spend time on each bill – there shall be no slam dunk of any bill. Most of the evil decisions were made when all the three branches of government were of the same party. As a moderate Republican I detest a monopoly of the party over our governance.

If we don’t change our stinking attitudes we will be slaughtered in 2014, all these Taliban’s, 22 of the Republican Senators and some 138 Republican Congress persons must go for voting against women’s equal rights act in the senate. What a shame! I expect more of us Republicans to speak out against these primates.

Republican Talibans

CONDEMN REPUBLICAN TALIBANS

As a Republican I strongly condemn this non-sense bill by fellow Republicans in North Carolina, to regulate what a woman can wear or not.  Where is the bloody freedom of expression? Are these  control freaks competing with the Taliban's ?

First they wanted women to be obedient to husbands,

Next they wanted a woman to stay home and raise kids,

They were not in favor of equal pay for women 

If they had their way,  they will take away women's choices ,

.... Now they want to regulate what a woman can wear

Next is burqa or banning a woman from becoming president

Women, rise up, and dump us, until we come to our senses.

We the republicans don't deserve to be in governance, 

We believe government is to regulate people.

Where are the opportunists like Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Brigitte Gabriel and their likes? Had it been a Muslim even talking about it, they would have fooled the fools, and all the right wing Republicans would have screamed sharia, Sharia, Sharia!

This is the stupidity we the Republicans need to stand up against, and scream out loud enough to drown these Voices. If not, by our affiliation with the party, we  will earn us the title dumbos who know nothing about biology, sociology, science or Maths or equal rights.

As a Republican I strongly condemn this non-sense by fellow Republicans,  lets get the hell out being control freaks.

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PROPOSAL:

 Topless women could get prison time under North Carolina proposal | Fox News

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/14/nc-bill-could-mean-prison-time-for-topless-women/?test=latestnews

RALEIGH, N.C. –  A bill that could send women to prison for going topless in public appears headed for approval by the North Carolina legislature.

The Republican-backed bill headed to a floor vote in the House would amend the state's indecent exposure law to expand the legal definition of "private parts" to explicitly include "the nipple, or any portion of the areola, or the female breast."

Depending on whether such exposure is judged to be "for the purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire," the woman could be charged with a felony, punishable by up to six months in prison for first-time offenders. More mundane exposure would be a misdemeanor meriting up to 30 days in jail.

Co-sponsor Rep. Rayne Brown, R-Davidson, told members of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that her bill was triggered by topless rallies promoting women's equity that were held during the last two years in Asheville. Though her district is more than a two-hour drive from Asheville, Brown said her constituents are concerned whether the topless protests are legal.

Many cities have local ordinances barring women from going topless, but Asheville does not. Brown said a blanket solution is needed to give law enforcement officers statewide the clear authority to make arrests when nipples are exposed. The proposed bill leaves in place exceptions for "incidental" nipple exposure by breastfeeding mothers and retains the ability of local governments to regulate sexually oriented nightclubs.

"There's some confusion about the law," Brown said. "I think our state deserves clarity on this issue."

That confusion is rooted in a 1970 ruling by the state Court of Appeals that the term "private parts," as then specified in state law, did not include breasts. In 1998, the N.C. Supreme Court suggested that earlier interpretation might not be expansive enough, citing an American Heritage Dictionary definition of "private parts" as "external organs of sex and excretion." 

A separate state law specifically outlaws "sexually explicit nudity," including nipples, exposed in the presence of minors. But it is not clear whether the exposure of breasts as part of a political protest could be defined as sexual.

Two Democrats on the Judiciary Committee questioned whether the issue really rises to a level requiring legislative action.

Rep. Nathan Baskerville, D-Vance, reiterated that any city or county having a problem with public toplessness is free to pass a local ordinance.

Rep. Annie W. Mobley, D-Hertford, suggested a woman wanting get around the proposed law could simply cover her nipples with tape.

"You know what they say, duct tape fixes everything," agreed Rep. Tim Moore, R-Cleveland.

The committee voted to recommend the bill to the House floor, with only Baskerville voting no. The measure would still need approval from the Republican-controlled N.C. Senate before heading to the governor's desk.

John McCain drop it, don't screw the GOP

Is there a Republican out there who can tell McCain to shut up and not mess up for Republicans? John McCain is acting like a cranky baby, screaming and chasing Obama on Benghazi.

He demands information but chose not to go to the house intelligence meeting to learn about it.  

McCain will drive Americans against Republicans, Mitt Romney screwed it up with his 47% and Gift crap and now McCain is ready to mess it up.

Mike Ghouse

There is hope for the Republican party - 95% of African American Vote, 56% of Women Vote, 83% of Jewish Vote , ~78% of Hindu Vote and now 85% of Muslim vote goes Democratic. Thank God it is not Zero! No one is against the Republican Party, but the party spokesperson are!

The Republican Party leadership needs to drop the bellicose, belligerent attitudes towards minorities for survival, and I hope they do it because, it the right thing to do, if you fake it, it will show up. Some loose ass Republican or the other is going to speak up... and the silence of  majority will affirm that all of them are like that. Which is not true.

It is a good party, and I have stuck with it, and am willing to coach and guide the party to a 2016 Victory, if not, we have to sit on the side lines for 16 years - Obama and Hilary combined.

95% of Muslims Voted

November 15, 2012 by TMO

CAIR Press Release

Muslim voters in 2012 US election.

Poll: 85 Percent of Muslim Voters Picked President Obama

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/9/2012) — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today released the results of an informal exit poll indicating that more than 85 percent of American Muslim voters picked President Obama in Tuesday’s election.

[NOTE: A similar CAIR exit poll in 2008 showed that 89 percent of American Muslim voters picked then-candidate Barack Obama. Two percent of respondents said they voted for Sen. John McCain.]

CAIR’s email survey of more than 650 American Muslim voters indicates that just four percent of respondents cast their ballots for Mitt Romney.

Poll findings:

• 95.5 of the Muslim voters said they went to the polls on November 6.

• 85.7 percent cast their ballots to re-elect President Obama.

• 4.4 percent of respondents said they voted for Mitt Romney.

• Just over two percent (2.2) of respondents said they voted for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. The same percentage (2.2) of respondents said they voted for Green Party candidate Jill Stein. 

{NOTE: More than four percent of respondents declined to say who they voted for.]

• States with the highest number of survey respondents (in descending order) were California, New York, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Florida, Michigan, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio. 

• Of those who voted, 8.3 percent said they did so for the first time. 

• 41.5 percent said they consider themselves Democrats. A similar number, 40.6 percent, consider themselves politically independent. Only 7.4 percent said they are Republican.

“The fact that more than 95 percent of Muslim respondents went to the polls is a clear indication that they are fully participating in our nation’s political process and are part of the fabric of America,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. “Muslim voters in swing states such as Florida, Virginia and Ohio seemed to have played a critical role in tipping the balance in the president’s re-election victory.”

These results support the findings of a pre-election CAIR survey of 500 Muslim voters that rated jobs and the economy, education, health care policy, Medicare and Social Security, and civil rights as the top issues. That survey indicated that 1 in 4 Muslim voters remained undecided about their presidential pick.

“It appears that undecided Muslim voters broke decisively in President Obama’s favor at the polls,” said CAIR National Legislative Director Corey Saylor.

Saylor also expressed appreciation that a number of anti-Muslim candidates were rejected by voters nationwide.
