Rep. John Lewis foolishly, but effectively and falsely, accused the Tea Party of “spitting” on him in 2010.   It did not happen, but the media drummed the controversial talking point to death in their futile effort to ridicule the Tea Party as racist.

Well, Mr. Lewis is at it again this year.   Ridiculously claiming that Republican fiscal policy will bring back segregation.

“I’ve seen this before, I lived this before,” he claimed, after extensively describing his activism in Southern states in the 1950 and 1960s. (more…)

The vast majority of Democrats are furious that Cardinal Dolan was allowed to pray at their convention.   They are furious.    Following on the heels of forced acceptance of God and religion in their party platform, and on the heels of a forced/manipulated floor vote to falsify acceptance of Israel and Jerusalem,  the base of the Democrat party is rabid with anger.

Allowing Cardinal Dolan to pray for the unborn, and pray for a pro-life/pro-family message was just too much.  His prayer became the straw that broke the camel’s back. The base of the Democrat party is in uproar:

The report’s weak tenor was also underscored by revisions to June and July data to show 41,000 fewer jobs created than previously reported. The labor force participation rate, or the percentage of Americans who either have a job or are looking for one, fell to 63.5 percent — the lowest since September 1981.

BLOOMBERG – Payrolls rose less than projected in August and the unemployment rate declined as more Americans left the labor force, indicating the U.S. labor market is stagnating.

The economy added 96,000 workers last month following a revised 141,000 rise in July that was smaller than initially estimated, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The median estimate of 92 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a gain of 130,000. Unemployment unexpectedly fell to 8.1 percent, and hourly earnings were unchanged. (more…)

“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,” [Clint] Eastwood told The Pine Cone this week. “Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know. I may have irritated a lot of the lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle.”  […]

“I had three points I wanted to make,” Eastwood said. “That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who’s not doing a good job. But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.”  (read more)

If you remember the Moonbatty Howard Dean “scream” campaign speech;  and if you saw the Moonbatty Jennifer Granholm speech last night during the DNC convention and her, well, bizarro behavior…….  you just knew someone was going to mash them together.

Below is the original speech from Granholm last night.  It is funnier than the mash up in my opinion. (more…)

Ahhh, thank heaven the circuses are over, and political discord can advance to the next-to-last stage of smash mouth positioning.    Both sides have had their turn at their highly visible, yet self-indulgent, pep rallies and now it’s time to get down to business.

Smash Mouth Politics

The remainder of September will be filled with punch, and counter-punch, bantering with media pundits keeping score on who lands the most effective blows.   Let the Games Begin, only this year certainly looks more like a cage match blood sport in the works.

Desperation always brings out the very ugliest in Democrats, the more desperate they are the more ugly they become.   Remember the fleabaggers in Wisconsin who bolted for Illinois when they were crushed in the election?   Yup, it is THAT exact level of despair amid the closed circle types of left-wing politicos we are about to witness.

In her opening performance in front of a packed audience at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., singer Mary J. Blige began a rendition of her hit song by shouting out to the President.  However, the shout out sounded a bit strange given the nature of presidential campaigns.

Before performing her song, “Family Affair,” Blige asked the audience to stand up. She then shouted to the enthusiastic crowd, “Lets get it crunk for President Obama!” The crowd cheered and began dancing.  (err, ok) (more…)

Is this leading from behind?

It’s definitely bass-ackwards.  No wonder Mayor Villaraigosa was dumbstruck with prog-pocrisy.   Stuck between a rock and the “proverbial” hard-place.    So fast forward 15 hours and lookie what the State department has to say following the party platform debacle:

The State Department today again refused to name the capital of Israel, even after being questioned by the press and even after the Democratic party (President Obama’s party) voted yesterday to add language to its platform stating that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

Here’s the remarkable exchange from today’s press briefing, with reporters and press secretary Patrick Ventrell: (more…)
