We shall crawl naked over broken glass if needed, and do everything we can to defeat every single establishment Republican in the 2014 election. Beginning with Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) and Lyndsey Graham (South Carolina).
• The big government freedom-destroying Democrats and Decepticons said the Sequester cuts would be the ‘end-of-the-world’ type painful.
It wasn’t, no-one noticed the cuts – they were Chicken Little.
• The big government freedom-destroying Democrats and Decepticons said the federal government shutdown would be ‘end-of-the-world’ type painful. Having learned from the Chicken Little sequester narrative, they moved to insure this time it would be more visible and painful.
Yet, it really wasn’t, the cuts weren’t even noticed except on TV – Just more Chicken Little.
• The big government freedom-destroying Democrats couldn’t allow the debt ceiling breech cuts to take place because the American people would see it’s all just more Chicken Littling. So:

Park Service admits to a coordinated strategy to inflict the maximum visible pain possible in an effort to afford President Obama will political gains during government shutdown.
As previously discussed and anticipated. However, in the article the influence of Denis McDonough is avoided….
WASHINGTON DC – President Obama’s top adviser Valerie Jarrett was behind a plan to force a showdown with Republicans over ObamaCare as part of a strategy to regain Democratic control of the House next year, claims author Ed Klein.
Klein — who wrote a provocative biography about Obama last year entitled “The Amateur” — said White House insiders refer to Jarrett as “The Night Stalker” because she is the only presidential aide who frequently spends time in the family quarters and dines with the Obamas.
Klein, who is conducting a research for a new Obama tome scheduled for next spring, called Jarrett the “architect” of Obama’s take-no- prisoners approach when it comes to his signature domestic policy initiative.
It was Jarrett who advised Obama that voters would mostly blame Republicans if the federal government ground to a halt, providing a golden opportunity to swing back control of the House to Democrats in the 2014 mid-term elections, according to Klein. (more…)
Now that we have affirmation on WHY the website does not work. Lets take a look at how it’s put together and follow the network. (HatTip Fantasia for some links)
Sometimes looking into the engineering side of the new Obamacare Cyber Construction (Rabbit Hole) makes you wonder…..In 2010 when the ACA (Obamacare) was passed it was 2,700 pages, 381,517 words, formulating a bill that no-one read before it was voted on; and “we’d have to pass it to see what’s in it”.
In 2013 Obamacare, and the accompanying regulation which compromise it’s construct, is now 10,535 pages long (11,588,500 words). Thirty times larger than the initial construct and so massive that no-one knows what it all means in totality.
So a website to sign people up for it needed to be constructed.
Where did the feds turn? To a previously authorized cyber engineering firm, CGI, who held a very special status – “Indefinite Delivery and Indefinite Quantity.” As the Washington Examiner outlined: (more…)
D’oh… That media bias myth thing again.
WASHINGTON DC – Labor unions are poised to score the delay of an ObamaCare tax in the bipartisan budget deal emerging in the Senate.
The bargain under negotiation would make small adjustments to the healthcare law, including delaying the law’s reinsurance fee for one year. The three-year tax is meant to generate revenue that will stabilize premiums on the individual market as sick patients enter the risk pool. (more…)
The American Spectator has in its possession a construct of an e-mail sent by President Obama and DoD Secretary Hagle to all military members attacking Republican opposition to his agenda and the Government Shutdown. A clear violation of the Hatch Act.
“Military and civilian employees of the federal government are absolutely prohibited from using government supplies, equipment, communication systems and facilities in any political activity.” (DoD Memo)
The American Spectator has been provided with the text of a political message sent on Saturday evening, using Department of Defense communications systems, on behalf of President Obama and Secretary of Defense Hagel.
It is addressed to “all US government employees” and further specified by the DoD sender to go to “all subordinate commands,” in compliance with Hagel’s call for “the widest possible distribution.”
The message contains standard presidential lauding of public service, but goes on to attack the current government shutdown by specifically castigating the House of Representatives, saying that the House — which is unsubtle code for Republicans — should “follow the Senate’s lead…without trying to attach…partisan measures in the process.” (more…)
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.

There are many similarities at work in the French electorate just like they are here. The Front National Party (FN) is similar in view and position to the U.S. Tea Party. However, the FN has an actual political structure. Pay attention to this paragraph in the article (emphasis mine):
“The left and the mainstream right are blaming each other for what is happening, but the reality is they’ve both been knocked sideways,” said Nonna Mayer, the Research Director at the National Research Centre CNRS. “Neither of them know what to do.”
Sound familiar?
FRANCE24 – France’s mainstream political parties were Monday scratching their heads over what to do about a surge by the Front National (FN) after a breakthrough by-election win for the far-right party.
The ruling Socialist party and the centre-right Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), the party of former president Nicolas Sarkozy, face humiliating reverses in municipal and European elections next year if the FN can sustain its current standing in the eyes of an electorate thoroughly fed-up with record unemployment, rising taxes and a perceived increase in crime and insecurity.
A poll published last week suggested the FN could emerge as the best-supported party in the European elections with 24 percent of those asked declaring themselves ready to back the party led by Marine Le Pen, the daughter of FN founder Jean-Marie Le Pen. (more…)
