On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

Why is Sen McConnell's ratings in Kentucky lower than the President's rating?

Some folks don't need information to hold an opinion. A lot of times for the RW, facts are entirely inconvenient and required.

Of course, these ghouls would. There is very little lower,if anything, than progressive politics.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said on Wednesday that he saw no reason to be concerned about the possibility of racial profiling in police clashes with protesters in Ferguson, Mo. because the protestors all appeared to be of a single "continental origin."

King appeared on Newsmax TV on Wednesday where host J.D. Hayworth asked him about the escalating conflict in Ferguson. When asked about the concerns raised by members of the Congressional Black Caucus about the possibility of racial profiling, King said those were unsubstantiated.

"This idea of no racial profiling," King said, "I've seen the video. It looks to me like you don't need to bother with that particular factor because they all appear to be of a single, you know, of a single origin, I should say, a continental origin might be the way to phrase that."

King then stated that he prefers to "reject race-based politics, identity politics" because "we're all God's children and we all should be held to the same standards and the same level of behavior."

People like Frank doesn't understand why I've been complaining about this country. It's not for me; my wife and I have enough to live the rest of our lives in comfort; it's for our children. This is only one problem facing the future of this country.

Louie Gohmert suspects ‘undocumented Democrats’ are bringing Ebola across the border

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) warned this week that refugees — who he called “undocumented Democrats” — fleeing violence in Central America could be bringing diseases like Ebola into the United States.

“This administration doesn’t have the desire, doesn’t have the will to actually stop it,” Gohmert told radio host Tim Constantine on Wednesday. “Because they see people coming across as undocumented Democrats. And so, they want to keep the surge of people coming in illegally, even though it includes a big spike in Other-Than-Mexicans, OTMs as we call them.”

“It includes a spike in people from countries where terrorism abounds,” he continued. “We have people coming in from countries where Ebola is located.”

“And, gee, since they’re coming across our border, and you know, they don’t get checked, and most of them don’t get really thoroughly checked, they could be coming in with disease that we simply do not need.”

The Texas Republican insisted that he was not “fear mongering.”

“It’s silly not to be more careful,” he said.

It really looks like the GOP have gone bonkers, and the American people elected him!

Being lied to and manipulated by a bias media and stupid people would wear on anyone.With a brain. No worries for you.

Republican Group Rolls Out Fake News Websites

The NRCC has released a line of websites to attack Democrats with the look and feel of local news sites

The National Republican Congressional Committee is getting into the local news business — at least until the midterm elections are over.

The NRCC has released a line of websites to attack Democratic candidates that have the look and feel of local news websites. The sites have names like “Central Valley Update” and “Augusta Update.” A box at the bottom of the page indicates the website is paid for by the NRCC. Some two dozen of the sites are now live.

“This is a new and effective way to disseminate information to voters who are interested in learning the truth about these Democratic candidates,” NRCC spokesperson Andrea Bozek said of the new line of sites. “While Democrats would rather hide their candidates and their reckless agenda, we believe voters deserve to know the facts.” Bozek added that the websites are not illegal.

The group drew criticism earlier this year over websites, including fundraising portals that confused some voters, which spoofed the websites of Democratic candidates.

The new websites are being paid for and coordinated by the NRCC’s independent expenditure arm, which can raise unlimited sums of money but is not permitted to coordinate with candidates’ campaigns.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the NRCC’s Democratic counterpart, called the websites deceptive.

“House Republicans’ campaign strategy to overcome their own historic unpopularity is to resort to deception—again,” DCCC spokesperson Josh Schwerin told TIME.

Straight from the Democratic playbook. What are you whining about?

NYT: Republicans argue over whether to attack Obama's "competence"

The year “2014 is going to be defined as a competency election, and which party does a better job of saying they can make the government function,” said Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “Right now, the perception is that it’s doing everything wrong” under Mr. Obama.

To make that case, the Senate Republicans’ campaign committee has for months circulated memos to supporters and reporters with what it says is the latest evidence from polls, pundits and policy controversies attesting to the incompetence of the president and, by extension, the Democratic Senate majority. “The increasingly long list of scandals, crisis and government incompetence (from Benghazi to the I.R.S., Obamacare to the debt, Bergdahl to negotiating with the Taliban, the V.A. to the situation in Iraq) have created an extremely toxic environment for Democrats,” the committee said in a recent email.


Another Republican strategist, who asked not to be identified criticizing party colleagues, said that raising the question of governing competence could be double-edged for Republicans. Indeed, many Democrats are reminding voters that the Republicans who run the House shut down the government last fall at a cost of $24 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and have repeatedly been divided and dysfunctional, most recently in struggling to pass a bill to address the border crisis.

"Time and time again, House Republicans have shown they are completely incapable of governing,” said Matt Canter, a spokesman for the Senate Democrats’ campaign committee. “Nothing says incompetence like the Republican brand."

We read many reports of the republicans many misdeeds in congress, but the general public doesn't seem to care or have set their minds to vote for them this fall. The 54 times that the republican house voted to repeal ACA is just the tip of the iceberg, but it doesn't seem to matter. I wonder why?
