Tea Party is Ba-aaaack!

It's a known fact that other than a few women (why he wears Mom jeans), Obama has no close friends or relationships...btw, the cup he is holding is for his doctor and his yearly urine test....the look on his face looks like he may have prostate problems..

 

Keep that head in the sand. But mark my words, Benghazi destroyed Hillary's chances, she will not get the presidency. There are 2 many questions, and I believe the right is going to destroy the left on that issue.

 

I thought the group that showed up to the mall were vets? I'd say out of tens of thousands of vets, yeah, you are going to find some racist folks. Just like in most groups of people.

 

I didn't "buy" anything about the govt being the enemy. Unless you consider my listening to the founder's words, "buying". It's about respect. Respect for the thousands who died in the Revolutionary war over a debate. And immediately following that war, a bunch of people gathered to form a govt. The fact that govt becomes the enemy is a theme that runs through almost all of the debates and talk of the time. It is obvious that these founders thought the reason everyone just suffered so much in their time, was because of govt, and how its power corrupts. They desperately tried to outline some lessons for us. And today the lessons are being ignored. That's disrespectful to those who suffered and died to learn those principles. Govt can become the enemy, don't forget it!!! People died so you would know that.

 

Not necessarily government but tyranny, to which all governments tend to move toward and this one is no exception. The Framers tried to put in place safeguards but also realized that the only way it could last was by having an educated and moral society. So far they rightly outlined the problem and the problem is here now.

 

Hmmm... 6% drop in favorability rating is not exactly a destroyed chance particularly since her faborability rating is hovering around 60%.

- - - Updated - - -

I guess we'll see. 2014 could be an important bellwether. If the GOP loses another election, the already rampant infighting is going to turn into all out uncivil war.

 

We will see how that 6% does after we finally start hearing from the 36 survivors.

 

It puts the insurance companies on the marketplace. It allows someone in Florida to buy a policy originating out of Colorado.

 

Meh. The whole thing has the stink of just another partisan witchhunt. I don't think Benghazi is top on the list of concerns for the majority of Americans.

 

GOP, Boehner take shutdown hit in new CNN poll


http://edition.cnn.com/2013/10/21/politics/cnn-poll-gop-boehner-shutdown/index.html


Washington (CNN) -- Just over half the public says that it's bad for the country that the GOP controls the House of Representatives, according to a new national poll conducted after the end of the partial government shutdown.

And the CNN/ORC International survey also indicates that more than six in 10 Americans say that Speaker of the House John Boehner should be replaced.

The poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, just after the end of the 16-day partial federal government shutdown that was caused in part by a push by House conservatives to try and dismantle the health care law, which is President Barack Obama's signature domestic achievement.

According to the survey, 54% say it's a bad thing that the GOP controls the House, up 11 points from last December, soon after the 2012 elections when the Republicans kept control of the chamber. Only 38% say it's a good thing the GOP controls the House, a 13-point dive from the end of last year.

Defeated GOP wants to unite and fight another day
Is there a GOP civil war brewing?
Is the GOP still the party of business?
Cruz: No apologies for shutdown
Snowe: Tea Party goals 'irrational'

This is the first time since the Republicans won back control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections that a majority say their control of the chamber is bad for the country.

CNN Chief National Correspondent John King said there is time for Republicans to recover before the 2014 midterms.

"The midterm election is a year away. There's plenty of time for Republicans to work on the brand, but they've taken a bit of a beating here. They've got some work to do. They need a bit of a makeover," King said.

Majority want Boehner out

"We fought the good fight. We just didn't win," Boehner said at the end of the shutdown. And while he received a standing ovation at a closed gathering of House Republicans as the crisis came to a close, he may not see anything to applaud in the new poll.

"John Boehner fares just as badly as the GOP," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "Sixty-three percent of all Americans think that Boehner should be replaced as Speaker of the House, a view shared by roughly half of all Republicans."

Fleischer: Shutdown deal is a 15-yard punt

According to the poll, only 30% of the public says Boehner, who became Speaker in January 2011, should continue in that role.

Congress near historic lows

The survey indicates that the approval rating for Congress remains near an all-time low. Only 12% of those questioned say they approve of the job Congress is doing, just two points higher than the historic low in CNN polling. And 86% give federal lawmakers a thumbs-down, also near the all-time high.

Forty-four percent say they approve of the job the President is doing with 52% saying they disapprove.

Four things we learned from government shutdown

"Barack Obama's numbers are pretty anemic, but he remains in much better shape than the GOP," Holland said. "Even though Obama's approval rating remains stuck in the mid-40s, it didn't take a hit during the shutdown -- 44% just before the shutdown began; 44% now."
Cruz: I don't work for the party bosses
McCain: Shutdown tactics 'fool's errand'
Could the Democrats retake the House?

According to the survey, 44% also say they have more confidence in Obama rather than the GOP in Congress to deal with the major issues facing the country today, a 5-point drop from last year; 31% say they have more confidence in congressional Republicans, unchanged from last December.

Obama wants new approach after shutdown

"The biggest change on that question is the 21% who volunteer that they don't have confidence in either side -- a remarkably high number that is roughly double its usual level," Holland said.
What's next for the GOP

Majority favor health care law or say it doesn't go far enough

Even though they lost this round, conservatives vow to continue their fight to dismantle Obamacare. And they point to major troubles with the rollout of the website where Americans without insurance can enroll in the new health care exchanges.

The president is expected to address the law, and the glitches, at an event Monday at the White House.

According to the poll, just more than four in 10 say they favor the law, with 56% opposed to it.

But of those opposed, 38% say they are against the law because they think it's too liberal and 12% say it's not liberal enough. That means that 53% either support Obamacare, or say it's not liberal enough.

The health care numbers are little changed from late last month, just before the start of the shutdown.

Congressional fight over Obamacare turns to website woes

The poll was conducted for CNN by ORC International, with 841 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.






The **********s sure are doing a good job of discrediting the GOP!

 

It will be when Repubs make a case of it. There is a reason Hillary has hid since then. There is a reason why almost everyone associated with Obama's foreign policy team has been replaced in the last year. But even bigger, there is a reason why Fox can't get an interview from 36 eyewitnesses to a terrorist attack. This terrorist attack is unique in that respect. I've yet to hear a reason why we can't hear from people on the ground during this attack. Hillary will have to explain it in the campaign, or even before, depending on AQ, its affiliates, or events in the ME.

 

Wouldn't you mean whether or nor the Tea Party sees gains ... Wins an Election?
The only reason the GOP has a majority in the House is with the help of the Tea Party candidates that got elected after the ACA passed.

Let's see how long the Democrats continue to think the Tea Party doesn't count.

 

How long has it been now? How long has Issa been beating this particular dead horse?



Trust me, unless there is video footage of Clinton walking in and shooting the Ambassador herself, this story only has legs with the standard anti-Obama crowd.

 

As revealing as all your other videos show the racist that exists with the GOPBAGGERS movement-this is the one here that brought me out of my seat with instant anger-it is the one that stopped my "tolerance" of this vile GOPBAGGIN group-- I thought my tolerance was getting pretty close to the edge when I saw an interview with a Texas lady at a Ted Cruz fundraiser, when asked about Ted Cruz' birth certificate that says he was born in Canada,but his mother was from the United States,so he is eligible to run for POTUS -the interviewer said " Well then,even if POTUS OBAMA was born in Kenya,which his birth certificate says otherwise,his mother being from the United States,there should be no question about the Presidents eligibility---the lady said " Well, I guess I don't look at Canada as being foreign" mmmmm------

 

This just in, another T-Partier to retire.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57608434/rep-tim-griffin-to-retire/

An Arkansas news outlet says Rep. Tim Griffin, a Republican who represents the second congressional district, will not seek reelection in 2014 after only two terms in the House.

Griffin cited family responsibilities in a statement to Talk Business Arkansas. "God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, Elizabeth, and two precious children, and for several months Elizabeth and I have been discussing whether to seek a third term in Congress, especially considering the formative ages of Mary Katherine and John. It has been an agonizing and difficult decision involving much prayer, thought and discussion. We have decided that now is the time for me to focus intently on my top priority, my family, as Elizabeth and I raise our two young children," he said.
​

While I think taking the House is a long shot in this election, it's likely that the Republican majority will continue to narrow. Of course, this could change dramatically if the Teapublicans decide to go full crazy and push the shutdown/debt ceiling again. In that case, a Dem victory in the House could very well include a gavel handover.

Naturally, things change. It's possible that the most hated political party in history can retain its political holdings. A lot of things are possible. However, it's unlikely that the Tea Party will survive the ever declining population of the Boomers, a holdout of social conservatives that won't just cause a lean towards social liberalism when they are gone; it will be more like a tilting.

Regardless of what the right-wing media is declaring, the GOP has been damaged by the antics of the Tea Party.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/21/politics/cnn-poll-gop-boehner-shutdown/index.html

The best thing for the Democrats is for the Tea Party to continue their vociferous and vapid campaigning. Now it can't be ignored that the Tea Party is very well funded, but even that funding can only go so far with the public would rather spit in your face than give you another 15 minutes in the spotlight.

 

Listening to MSNBC about the right is like listening to Goebbels about the Jews.

 

I realize that you are completely ignorant on this topic and you couldn't even defend your pathetic position. I am a guy, why would I care about having insurance that covers needless things that I will NEVER use. The main reason behind the massive increase in insurance cost, especially for young people, is that insurance companies are now required to cover more things. Even if someone just wants a super cheap policy that covers catastrophic emergencies the plans are more generalized and required to cover stupid things like contraception. A box of condoms costs $30 and you can get the BC pill for $60 a month. There is absolutely no need to have to require insurance companies cover that as well. Women require more healthcare than guys do, that is a simple biological fact and guys shouldn't be penalized for it.

What's next, should taxes be used to subsidize tampons? According to your asinine position apparently they should be to promote "fairness".

I have always had high deductible insurance because I at best see a doctor ever 5 years or so unless I get free physicals for the company I am working for. Its far cheaper for me to just pay my deductible out of pocket than several years of higher premiums. The Obamacare Bronze plan is a complete joke because it only covers 60% of cost after a certain amount..........all my previous plans covered more than that after I paid the deductible. Insurance is worse now than before Obamacare.

If someone wants to use more of the services than they should pay for insurance that covers more.

 

Where did I say anything about MSNBC in my post? But whatever,there is a" video" with this lady stating what I posted--- So,what's your point---NUF SAID----

 

http://www.reporternews.com/news/2013/mar/14/texas-uninsured-by-the-numbers/
So, Ted Cruz made a statement the other day saying " I didn't come to Washington to be part of the big boys club,I came to Washington to work for my constiuents". Yeah, working for his constiuents all right---Texas has gotone of the highest number of uninsured people in the country(now I know your going to say ,Texas is a large state)but Ted Cruz "could" be "helping" his constiuents,NAH,that's not his intention--What a GOPBAGGIN loser!

 

Maybe they are proud of not being moochers.

 

Moochers....thieves.....same difference. One negates the other. If the corporate rich can steal without limitation, then moochers should be allowed to mooch. No difference.

 

It is the liberal way.

 

One that the fat cat, corporate right enjoys immensely.

 

Your envy is showing. Maybe you should vote out some of that poop sandwich you keep voting for that encourages that crony capitalism but instead, you stand up for them.

 

Not envy my friend. Just pointing out the usual hypocrisy that the right has become so infamous for.
