| The current state of the GOP brings to mind the surviving Marines in Aliens, with no shortage of demoralized hacks lamenting their inability to resist by channeling Private Hudson: “Maybe you haven´t been keeping up on current events but we just got our a**** kicked, pal!” (Snip) The only thing that is good for this country right now is defeating Obama’s leftist agenda, fully, completely and in detail. You can’t work with him, you can’t compromise with him, you can’t convince him. He’s a progressive Terminator and the Constitution is Sarah Connor. You have to beat him, and that means

If Republicans really wanted to back Obama into a corner, they´d bring up the 300 people murdered because of Obama´s "Fast & Furious" operation every time Barky talks gun control.
Why is it okay for the president to arm Mexico´s most violent drug gangs? If Obama can´t control himself when it comes to selling firearms to drug gangs, who is he to lecture the rest of us?
Why is Wise King Barky hiding behind executive privilege? What does he have to hide? Why won´t he answer the questions?
How far was Obama willing to go to strip us of our Second Amendment rights?
He was willing to get hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, of people MURDERED in Mexico.
Isn´t it time to start shoving "Fast & Furious" questions down Wise King Barky´s throat?

The hardest part of any kind of GOP comeback is the media being fully in the tank for Obama,no mater how far he steps over the line.
The current crop of people he´s lining up for cabinet posts are a disgrace but the media will usher them through by attacking GOP senators who oppose them.
The government needs to borrow money to spend but according to the idiot at CNN the debt ceiling has nothing to do with spending.That´s an example of how twisted these people are in order to support Obama´s destruction of this country.
Obama supporters have been brainwashed into thinking that whatever damage Obama does,it´ll magically exclude them.The only reason Obama didn´t raise taxes on the middle class is because it would smack union workers who are loathe to pay for their own excess.
Obama´s Robin Hood meme will never work because most of the wealth in this country is held by his supporters.
Obama has borrowed every dime of wealth redistribution,racking up $6 trillion more in new debt at the blink of an eye.
Obama slandered his own country on foreign soil when he said he wished he didn´t have to go through congress.
Obama wants to save one child´s life by sweeping gun laws while the government has paid out over $500 million to planned parenthood to murder close to a million babies the last 3 years.How is a 5 year old child any different than one in the womb,just at at different part of their growth cycle.

The GOP has fight in them--that´s not the problem. The problem is they consider we the people to be the enemy. The GOP likes big government and are fine with Obama. The biggest reason they like Obama is they can use him to silence us. The GOP went straight to the NY Times after Obama was re-elected and portrayed the House as completely defeated and somber, accepting that Obama won and now we must do what he wants, must have no more disagreements, it´s all over now. The GOP is already on the road to take over our primaries, making sure we don´t get more people like Ted Cruz (whose opponent they supported). Then we have the Main St. Partnership, a GOP funded group to seek out and fund both Repubs. and Democrats. They´re looking for Repubs. who believe in compromise.

Boehner should not have been reelected speaker. The GOP needs to come up with a "Newt Gingrich" type, who could tie Obama up in knots and break it off in his wazoo.
Playing nice with these Democrat fanatics is long past over. The Americans whose votes really count will back the GOP all the way if they would just show some backbone and resist the tyranny and bullying of King George Obama.

The GOP will never win over new voters by governing as if playing a game. If the other side is acting that way, then the GOP needs to act like the adult in the room. Adults look for "win-win" opportunities. Adults describe the problem and then set out to fix it.
For example, instead of whining forth a budget, offer up a budget. Say, "If you think it can be better, add in your ideas or offer an alternative, but this is a requirement of government and we are doing our jobs." Offer legislation...not the in-your-face type that is there just to wag a finger at the other side, but sensible stuff that can be a negotiated settlement. Show that the Republicans can take action instead of just whining.

The Daily Beast reports that one of the Benghazi fall guys is refusing to take the fall. Raymond Maxwell was put on indefinite leave by the State Department after its Administrative Review Board (ARB) investigation of Benghazi for reasons that are still unknown to him. The person he claims made the decision to cast him out was Cheryl Mills--Hillary Clinton´s former chief of staff and counsel at the State Department. It is the second time Mills´ name has turned up during scrutiny of the State Department´s response to the attack. According to a new report by Josh Rogin: "On the

She thought she was making a topical political joke, but a co-creator of ‘The Daily Show’ managed to enrage many of her followers after tweeting joke about the Oklahoma tornado’s political motivations. ‘This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives,’ wrote comedian Lizz Winstead, in a tweet, around 3:30 Monday afternoon. The tweet was an apparent attempt at using the occasion of the May 20 twister to comment on the scandal currently plaguing the IRS and Obama administration.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the Obama administration’s denial of asylum granted to the Romeike family, who fled Germany over its strict anti-homeschooling laws. In a press release Tuesday, Michael Farris, founder and chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), said, “We believe the Sixth Circuit is wrong and we will appeal their decision. America has room for this family and we will do everything we can to help them.” The Romeikes fled Germany in 2008 when they were subjected to criminal prosecution for homeschooling, which is largely illegal in their country.

They are 1 percenters who are 100 percent despicable. Some wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Disney World — by hiring disabled people to pose as family members so they and their kids can jump to the front, The Post has learned. The “black-market Disney guides” run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day. “My daughter waited one minute to get on ‘It’s a Small World’ — the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours,” crowed one mom, who hired a disabled guide through Dream Tours Florida.

The shadow of Watergate is looming larger over the growing IRS and Associated Press leaks scandals amid I-know-nothing denials from the president and his attorney general, with Republicans smelling blood in the water and a former Nixon official saying the Obama administration needs to avoid the impulse to cover up. (snip) “This is how these situations unravel. First it gets blamed on some low-level employee and then it tracks back to Washington,” said Keith Appell, a Republican strategist based in Washington, D.C. “All the way back to Watergate when it was blamed on some third-rate burglary.

The Internal Revenue Service scandal would be bad enough if the IRS just handled issues like collecting income taxes and granting nonprofit status. But the immensely powerful federal agency is about to become even more powerful with the arrival of national health care, and that makes the still-unfolding scandal even more troubling. (Snip) The IRS is critical to Obamacare. The structure created by the Affordable Care Act requires the government to know about both the health care coverage (or lack of it) and the financial resources of every American. The IRS, which already knows the latter, was the only

Victoria Toensing, Republican Counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, says her client, a State Department official now considered a whistle-blower in the investigation of the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, has been "threatened" by Obama administration officials. According to Toensing, these threats weren´t related to ambiguous matters. Rather, they were "specifically about Benghazi." She says the threats went beyond the four State Department officials who´ve currently retained counsel. "People have been threatened at the CIA" as well, she claimed. (Snip) Toensing claimed the threats relate to ending the careers of those with information about the attacks who

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
