Bad News for Republicans

I betcha a similar poll would show that 75% thinks no INCUMBENT deserves re-election. And I'd agree with them.

 

Sorry dude, no money. Sad but true. Life sucks then you die. To many people not enough money. Kind of like the Titanic. More people than life rafts. I bet you blame the folks on the life rafts for not going back and saving the ones who ended up in the water and froze to death? What do you think would have happened to all those folks in the life boat if they did go back and try to save the floaters? Someone has to make the tough decision. Besides, none of us will get out this world alive. To say we need to save lives is BS. We are only prolonging lives. We all die eventually.

 

Pretty damned cold and selfish....dude! There is money. Its a matter of priorities. It's a matter of tax fairness which we are a long way from. The states that rejected Medicaid expansion screwed themselves and screwed their own people. PS: Are you a Christian by any chance?

 

Who I am and what I believe is between me and my God. I'll see you in hell deceiver.

 

I can't go to hell. I don't believe in it. I'm going to Summerland. Where are you going.? If there is a god and you meet her someday, you might be in for a rude awakening.

 

Michele Bachmann: Immigrants don’t like the GOP because we love the Constitution

Quite simply it appears that Belarus, which is a nation friendly with the Soviet Union, may have a subcontracting contract to build a part of the website for Obamacare,” Bachmann said. “The country of Belarus was able to come into the United States and reroute a significant portion of U.S. Internet traffic out to Belarus.”

She thinks that there is still a Soviet Union! Run Bachmann run!! I need a good laugh

She went on to say:

It isn’t the conservative Republican immigration policy that immigrants don’t like,” she argued, “it’s our stance on fiscal conservatism, the Constitution, patriotism, the fact that we believe in limited government and personal responsibility.”

“One thing I’ve advocated a long time is to get rid of this mindless idea that if someone has a baby in the U.S. and the parents are illegal aliens, the baby should be given automatic status as an American citizen,” she concluded.

 

Its ironic that they were the walking dead until Obamacare revived them.

 

A majority of Americans -- especially female ones -- think the Republican Party is out of touch with women, according to a poll released Friday by CNN/ORC.

Fifty-five percent of Americans, including 59 percent of women, say the GOP generally does not understand the problems and concerns of women.

While most Republican women gave their party positive marks, most women identifying as independents thought the party was out of touch.

Democrats fared better on the issue, with just a third of Americans, and 35 percent of women, saying the party didn't understand their concerns.

We’ve long argued that the Republican Party is no longer a legitimate governing party. Never mind whether we agree with them on any particular policy issue, they are simply no longer a serious organization.

That fact was underscored again this week and over the weekend, in light of the release of two different official reports, one from the U.S. State Department on the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline project and another from the Congressional Budget Office on the economic outlook in light of the Affordable Care Act.

Never mind whether you agree with the Republican position on either of those two policies. The fact that the party feels it necessary to blatantly lie about what’s in each of those reports, specifically with regard to “job creation,” in order to advocate for their own policy positions, underscores yet again that these are simply not serious people are worth being taken seriously anymore

The last time Americans were polled about them, 17% approved of the way the Republicans in Congress were doing their job; 76% disapprove.

Yet they continually pretend they represent the American People who consistently express such contempt for them.

You'd think the wacko birds might notice.

 

Texas politics just got even uglier. The GOP candidate for governor, Greg Abbott, took crazed, criminally-inclined rocker Ted Nugent on the campaign trail with him on Tuesday. Nugent declared that Abbott is his ‘blood brother’.

The backlash started even before the duo’s first appearances. After all, Nugent is a self-proclaimed child molester with a predilection for underage girls; a draft-dodger who (*)(*)(*)(*) his pants for a week to avoid going into the army; a threat to the President whose invitation to Obama to ‘suck on’ his machine gun prompted an interview with the Secret Service; and who just last month called Obama a “communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel.” And that’s barely a start on all the outrageous posturing this lunatic has made.

Wendy Davis immediately confronted the Abbott campaign.

Kansas got the memo. Indiana got the memo. Arizona refuses to read the memo. The state Senate just passed SB 1062 which allows anyone to discriminate against gays at any time if they are doing so out of ‘religious conviction’.

Arizona Democrats did their most unexceptional to stop the bill.

Senate Democrats in Arizona attempted to derail the law with eight amendments, which were quickly disposed of by the Republican majority. The Democrats also warned that Arizona is in for another round of being shunned by businesses, conventions, and tourists who don’t appreciate the continual hanging of a “NOT Welcome” sign. That would echo what happened in 1993 when Arizona lost $500 million and the Super Bowl over its refusal to approve the Martin Luther King holiday. Or in 2010, when companies avoided Arizona en masse over the outrageous anti-immigrant bill, SB 1070.

Your newest fraudulent poverty crusader is the Tea Party’s Mike Lee

http://www.salon.com/2014/02/20/your_newest_fraudulent_poverty_crusader_is_mike_lee/

Unlike the prior War on Poverty, which was made up of various policies designed to alleviate poverty (and which was much more successful than its critics have claimed), Lee’s war on poverty is mainly about making the rhetorical case that government causes poverty and that eliminating welfare benefits for the poor will somehow spur “market forces” to solve the problem.

 

Texas lawmakers celebrate “achievements” in women’s health as thousands go without care

http://www.salon.com/2014/02/20/tex...in_womens_health_as_thousands_go_without_care

Texas lawmakers passed a two-year budget in 2011 that cut $73 million from family planning programs; the following year, Rick Perry dissolved the state’s partnership with the federal Women’s Health Program, forfeiting millions in Medicaid funding for low-income women’s healthcare. Lawmakers restored some of this funding in 2013, but reproductive health providers like Planned Parenthood are barred from receiving it. That Perry has refused the Medicaid expansion has further compounded the crisis that has been building in the state, the blunt impact of which disproportionately impacts low-income women of color.

 

Ted Cruz just doomed the GOP — but not in the way you think


http://www.salon.com/2014/02/17/ted_cruz_just_doomed_the_gop_but_not_in_the_way_you_think/

Republicans — for once! — wanted to not filibuster a bill. To avoid the whole 60-vote requirement they’ve made so routine, and just get on to the up-or-down final passage vote. Let 50 Dems and Vice President Biden do all the dirty work.

But ending debate on a bill and going directly to final passage requires consent from everyone in the Senate, and Cruz refused to provide his. Now several Republicans, including Mitch McConnell himself, must wear scarlet letters whenever they face conservative activists, all because Cruz wanted to court another damaging confrontation with Obama and wants the people denying it to him to suffer for their actions.

 

My two cents worth;

The bad news for Republicans is the same bad news for Democrats.
ALL incumbents in Washington DC, from both Parties, have participated in (and contributed strongly to) the complete and utter failure that characterizes the past ten years or so of our federal government.
Crippling debt, partisan sniping, and fraud, waste, & abuse.
They are all complicit, and they should ALL be voted out of office (all of them, from both parties).

They have failed us, and it's time to clean house and begin anew.

Okay, please carry on with the left-versus-right nonsense.
I give you permission.

 

yet 95% will win re election yippie

 

You know I remember this Democrat saying that aliens are watching us, and he wasn't some minor 'official', he was elected to the federal congress.

But this stuff doesn't mean squat. It'd be really bad news if it wasn't some fringe figure who didn't even have a chance.

You could of course take the narrative that a bigot ran for a GOP seat and was tossed out like bathwater, but you probably won't do that because it doesn't fit the narrative you want to tell.

 

And who would that be? Where and when?

 

Silly Bad News for Republicans threads don't make it true.

Where are the accompanying Good News for Democrats threads?

There isn't any good news for Democrats?

That's what I thought.

Amusing...

 

Perhaps I'll start one. Or, we could just say that the bad news for Republicans is the good news for Dems

 

You should really pay attention to context

 

ROFL 32% Democrat vs. 25% Republicans polled.

Even with that skew
Do you approve of the way Obama is doing his job

No: 50%
Yes: 42%

And the most important question in the poll: Who do you trust to handle the economy

Rep: 44%
Dem: 37%

 

What is the "good news" the Democrats will be running on?

 

That they are not Republicans for starters. Haven't you heard? Republican popularity is in the crapper
