| The political fundraising frenzy has entered the extreme stage this weekend as an 11th hour deadline looms, with retiring Rep. Barney Frank labeling the Tea Party a "national nightmare" that needs to be eliminated and former President Clinton issuing a virtual disaster proclamation of what GOP rule would bring to the nation. In an email to Democrats, Frank blamed the nation's ills on the Tea Party that sent members to Washington in 2010 when voters expressed displeasure with one-party, Democratic rule. "This is our chance to end the national nightmare of Tea Party Republican rule," he wrote.

Comments: His sexual identity is only one of many things Mr. Frank is confused about.

Dodd-Frank is strangling our financial system to death right now before our eyes and this perverted fairy has the unmitigated chutzpah to make a statement like this? Liberalism is a mental disease and when compounded by gender confusion anexiety is downright insane.

Yabut...I thought the tea party was dead? Nothing more than a hundred or so astroturfing hacks that should be ignored? Which is it, leftys? A powerful force of grass roots conservatives or a nothing-to-see-here-move-along inconsequential mob?

Can't wait until this princess is out of office and going home to play housewife. The GOP wants you to do well so you can take care of yourself. The dems want to take your money and give it to someone else who does not want to take care of themselves.

So now we've got a political blitz about the Tea Party being America's most dangerous risk. I am just guessing but I think there will be a lot more of this before November's election and that means lies, lies, lies.
A seriously intelligent liberal friend of mine still insists that all criticism of Obama is racist. She can see no other possible reason to criticize him. She also takes great pride in using as her news sources, the NYT, LA Times, WaPo, Boston Globe, MSNBC, CNN and so on, and sees no reason to read "all those crazy unproved conspiratorial news websites." Yet, this college graduate, in other conversations on other matters, is VERY informed, very intelligent and very erudite.
I don't understand how that happens.

Barney Frank is only part of the treasonous blight the democrat party has foisted upon the working, tax-paying citizens of the United States. Add Zero, Dingy Harry, Durbin. Wasserman, Pelousy, JF'nK, Franken et al. Either the Tea Party helps throw this bunch of maggots out, or the United States is sunk.
Broken glass.

If you are a Democrat and you cannot see what Frank's statement really means, you are not paying attention. Of course, this tends to be par for the course when it comes to Democrats. Saying that the Tea Party is a "national nightmare" is equivalent to silencing a segment of the population because they disagree with you. If Frank thinks his positions are better for the country than the Tea Party positions than that is a topic for debate. We as a country are not about censorship.

Barney suffers from something that Sweet Ms.A. Coulter (Peace be upon Her) pointed out years ago. The most painful thing for leftists is enduring those rare moments when eloquent and powerful conservatives are allowed to speak. Or....any conservatives.....ever.
It's not informative for them.
It is a seismic disruption in their fragile glass world.
Because it is painful.....it must be bad and it must be stopped.

First, there must be serious internal polling showing a landslide victory for Romney with coattails, Barney and Boxer both are talking about the Tea Party. I suspect there is a lot of bed wetting going on! Now as to #11, I cannot reconcile this: "A seriously intelligent liberal friend of mine still insists that all criticism of Obama is racist." How can you can you consider this person to be seriously intelligent when they make such statements? This is one of our biggest problems today, since the libs have forced everyone to be PC, we can no longer disagree with anyone, lest we be labeled intolerant. Intelligent liberal is an oxymoron.

The ultimate nightmare:
If Obama is re-elected, he may try to advance the homosexual agenda by appointing a prominent homosexual to a cabinet position. He may appoint Barney Frank to be Secretary of Treasury, or Commerce, or whatever. So steel yourselves to see Barney Frank as he undergoes Senate Comfirmation hearings; he will be accompanied by his adoring "husband."
Why is there no discussion of social issues, such as gay marriage, in the campaign?

Barney is a homosexual. Evidence points to Obama, also Hillary, Janet, and several cabinet members. While it is shameful, they're shameless. Did you read that the dead Ambassador was gay? Did he run afowl of Barry, and get stationed to death? He knew he was in trouble; and Obama and Hillary left him isolated, and unprotected. Scratch.

There´s a good chance someone, somewhere knows something. Maybe it´s a wife who, sometime back, found instructions for constructing explosives in her husband´s Web browser history. Maybe it´s a father who worries his son has fallen in with an ideologically extremist, potentially dangerous crowd. Maybe it´s a man who has seen his brother´s rage boil over to the point of violence one too many times. There´s a good chance someone, somewhere knows something that could help authorities find the person or people who set off two bombs at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 180 others.

With the fate of gun control legislation in doubt, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) accused President Obama of using the victims of the Newtown elementary school shootings as “props” to advance an agenda that would have done nothing to prevent the massacre.“I think gun control is a legitimate issue for our country to debate,” he said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast Wednesday morning. But the Kentucky senator said that looking at the parents of Newtown victims who have spoken in favor of gun control legislation, ”I think in some cases the president has used them as props.”

Mindful that Vice President Joseph R. Biden is eyeing the presidency in 2016, President Obama declined a chance Wednesday to endorse Hillary Rodham Clinton for president. “I think we’re very far away from that,” Mr. Obama said on NBC’s “Today” show when asked if he hopes Mrs. Clinton will run. “She’s earned a rest. I know that she’s going to be able, whatever she does, to continue to be a leader and an incredibly positive force for the causes I care about and that she cares about all around the world.”

The State Department provided no reason for the change, which was announced just 15 minutes before the scheduled 10 A.M. session, but media reports have said that a Saudi national in the U.S. on a student visa is a "person of interest" to investigators probing the bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday.

Protocol: President Obama declined to send a high-level delegation to Wednesday´s funeral of Britain´s Margaret Thatcher. It´s a measure of how little he values the special relationship — and a sign of his own smallness. Back in more gracious times, vice presidents routinely attended funerals of foreign dignitaries. As such, the presence of Vice President Joe Biden — if not Obama himself — would seem fitting for as significant a U.S. ally as the late Prime Minister Thatcher, if not out of warmth of feeling, then simply to represent the U.S.´ gratitude.

Also with him was former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, wounded in an assassination attempt.

Authorities on Tuesday revealed little new information about the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon, the most high-profile bombing on U.S. soil in more than a decade and a tragedy that presents a new test for President Obama. Obama, like all Americans, is standing by, waiting for answers as to who planted two bombs improvised from pressure cookers at the finish line of the storied race, and why. Three Americans were killed in Monday´s attack and more than 170 others were injured. "Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror," Obama said,

The Senate delivered a devastating blow to President Obama’s agenda to regulate guns Wednesday by defeating a bipartisan proposal to expand background checks. It failed by a vote of 54 to 46, with 5 Democrats voting against it. Only 4 Republicans supported it. Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor (Ark.), Max Baucus (Mont.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Begich (Alaska) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) voted against it. Reid supported the measure but voted against it to preserve his ability to bring the measure up again. GOP Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Susan Collins (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Mark Kirk

MSNBC contributor Joy-Ann Reid told the host of Now, Alex Wagner, that she thought President Barack Obama’s response to the attack on the Boston Marathon on Monday was powerful and comforting in a way that President George W. Bush’s response to the attacks of September 11, 2001, was not. She accused Bush of being unavailable to the American people for the “first couple weeks” after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Reid told Wagner that the president’s statement actively combatted the intention of the terrorists, which is to make their targets feel “discombobulated.” “Having, sort of

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.

Mark Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), is threatening to back an election challenge against Sen. Jeff Flake if the Arizona Republican votes against legislation to expand background checks. At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Kelly said he would back an opponent to Flake if the "right candidate" was available and if the senator failed to support a background check bill, according to reports. Flake, who is not up for reelection until 2018, has been close to Kelly and Giffords. But Kelly said the issue of control trumped their ties.

National Republicans are pulling the plug on Mark Sanford’s suddenly besieged congressional campaign, POLITICO has learned — a potentially fatal blow to the former South Carolina governor’s dramatic comeback bid. Blindsided by news that Sanford’s ex-wife has accused him of trespassing and concluding he has no plausible path to victory, the National Republican Congressional Committee has decided not to spend more money on Sanford’s behalf ahead of the May 7 special election. “Mark Sanford has proven he knows what it takes to win elections. At this time, the NRCC will not be engaged in this special election,”

WASHINGTON -- A senior Democratic senator who helped write President Barack Obama´s health care law stunned administration officials Wednesday, saying openly he thinks it´s headed for a "train wreck" because of bumbling implementation. "I just see a huge train wreck coming down," Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., told Obama´s health care chief during a routine budget hearing that suddenly turned tense. Baucus is the first top Democrat to publicly voice fears about the rollout of the new health care law, designed to bring coverage to some 30 million uninsured Americans through a mix

"I think we’ve got a good chance of seeing it pass if members of Congress are listening to the American people," President Obama said in an interview on NBC´s "Today Show" that aired on Tuesday. "The notion that Congress would defy the overwhelming instinct of the American people after what we saw happen in Newtown, I think, is unimaginable." Obama was then asked by Savannah Guthrie how he could expect Democrats in red states to vote on this bill when he, as a Senator, didn´t have to himself.
