The Democrats want to add removal of the “Sequester Cuts” into the budgetary maneuvers.  Essentially, last year the Dem’s made a strategic blunder;  thinking they had the Republicans backed into a corner with the following proposition:  ‘Either raise taxes *OR* watch horrible cuts to Defense spending”.  
What Dem’s didn’t realize at the time was the strength of the conservative pressure on the traditional GOP.   As a consequence the “Sequester” was not seen as unpalatable as Harry Reid thought, the common sense conservative electorate shrugged off the threat and said fine let the future military spending shrink – and retain tax rates. 
The outcome was Dem’s proclaiming the Sequester was the end of the world.  It didn’t end.  And so today….. 

(Baseline for discussion stems from Reuters Article Outline ) – Some U.S. senators said they were closing in on a deal Monday that would reopen the government and push back the deadline on the hard Debt Ceiling/Spending decisions for several months, though many hurdles remained as a Thursday 10/17 deadline drew near.

Every time we see the media lie and hide behind this talking point…:

‘Obamacare is a law passed by congress, signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court’.

….we will highlight the falsehood and update with recent events.

This week NBC’s David Gregory used it in an interview of Senators’ Dick Durbin-(D) and Rob Portman-(R):

Let me just raise this issue about ObamaCare, because I want to come back to that. One of the issues is that for conservatives, this has been such a huge issue, even though the law’s been passed and upheld by the court, they still argue, “No, there’s a basis to really try to make it better, to replace it, to get rid of it.” – David Gregory on Meet The Press

Democrat Corey Booker is, well, quite frankly, the most accurate personification of a limousine liberal you can currently find.

By profession Booker is the current Mayor of Newark, New Jersey.

He’s also running for the currently open New Jersey Senate seat.

Only there’s one pesky factoid beginning to surface; not only does Mr. Booker not live in Newark, he might not even live in New Jersey and his disclosure forms for the U.S. Senate -which include address/residency requirements- appear to have been generously fudged.

An indy journalist named Charles Johnson has trailed the Booker residency issue and has produced this MUST WATCH video:

What’s great about the video is the honesty and humanity from the people being interviewed. Ms. Donna Jackson and Ms. Cassandra Dock are just like us, ordinary citizens doing the best they can to get by. Each putting one foot in front of the other yet recognizing that Booker represents the fraud that essentially outlines the hypocrisy behind everything liberals stand for. (more…)

Another video from today’s Veterans’ March shows another angle at confrontation with the regime.
What I find interesting is how the liberal left, who supported the entire construct of the Occupy Wall Street movement, now find themselves demanding the police begin to attack the protesters.   The same people who rallied for visible confrontation for their Occupy cause’s are now the same people proclaiming the Tea Party is just too aggressive in their voice demanding freedom and reduction in government influence.

It’s an interesting psychological reconciliation on display. It will be further interesting to see how the media covers it.
The parasite Occupiers who, in vast majority and their own comfortable proclamation, did not pay federal taxes and yet were demanding more government benefits, rec’d warm underdog treatment from the liberal media as they confronted the regime.   So how will the media cover increasingly frustrated tax payer expressions from those within ‘middle America’ who ultimately are the providers of the underwriting?
Lastly, as you review the media response, imagine for just a minute that George W Bush was still in the White House against the backdrop of these confrontations. How would that change their coverage?

Before you watch the video you must remember the significance of its venue.

The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in strict secrecy. Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. The answer was provided immediately.
A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”
With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

…. “if you can keep it”

Now watch this video from a few days ago at Independence Hall:

UNBELIEVABLE !

Sheldon Whitehouse is the infectious cellular organism who swims comfy amid the pus growing the boil on our Republic.

Hostages?… “HOSTAGES”? Where the heck was that media talking point when Harry Reid was keeping the entire Senate from going home over the 2009 Christmas Holiday Season, and kept all of the Senators sequestered/hostage so they could not hear from, listen to, or communicate with their constituents who were desperately trying to get their representative to STOP the Obamacare nonsense?

Where was the media telling the public the Senate was being held hostage?

Arrgh… Insufferable left-wing limo-liberals. A pox on all their houses !!

(Via GWP)  In March 2006, polls showed President George Bush had a 37% approval rating.  The exact same 37% approval rating as Obama’s today.  But, the difference in media headlines for the two presidents is disgustingly extreme.  Blasting and berating Bush with insults and doom and gloom projections, the same media emits hardly a peep regarding Obama’s plummeting approval.
Rush unleashed a firestorm of truth that left no doubt there is zero journalism taking place in the Liberal media.  But, the important point made during his articulate war path is that the Republicans are NOT losing.

In spite of the media throwing everything they have into spinning silk out of the sow’s ear behavior of the worst president in history, he has the same low approval rating as Bush did with the media throwing everything AT him.  Propped up media darling, Obama, along with his Democrats, should have an approval rating sky high and the Republicans’ should be a lot worse.
So, Rush’s message to Republicans inside the Beltway is stop the self-flagellation.  We’re not losing!  (link)

Yesterday afternoon President Stompy Feet held a meeting with Democrats to discuss the Federal Government Shutdown.   Washington DC congresswoman, Eleanor Holmes, told Dear Whiner the House Bill funding DC should be supported by him and the Senate as a quick fix to the current fiscal stalemate.   She was quickly jumped upon for daring to walk off the plantation and question “dear leader”…..
(Washington Post)  Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) had what some colleagues called “a heated exchange” and what she described as “a conversation” with President Obama during a White House meeting Wednesday afternoon regarding the District’s budget constraints as a result of the partial government shutdown.
Norton attended the meeting in the White House East Room with nearly 200 House Democrats and was one of a handful given the opportunity to ask the president a question. When she was called upon, Norton pressed Obama to support a House-passed bill that would permit the District to use its locally raised tax funds to maintain operations until Dec. 15. (more…)

The only reason this is happening is specifically because the: Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Samantha Powers, Cass Sunstein, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett,…. crew of checked scarf wearing, Palestinian sympathizing, jew hating, left-wing, scum sucking progressives’ have been rebuked by the vast majority of Freedom Patriots in Egypt. Period.
