Congratulations, House Republicans!

I can.

You don't know any servicemen.

Didn't Obama call them the JV team? Now we have to bomb them because they are dangerous?

Didn't you get to see the photos of McCain holding hands with them? I'll post them for you if you didn't.

That's fine but McCain doesn't call the shots. Obama is the big dog in the house and he thinks ISIS or ISIL is the JV team. His quote not mine.

Stutter much? You voted for McCain.

What's your point? What does that have to do with Obama calling ISIS/ISIL the JV team?

I'm saying ISIS was the Teapublican home team until that unfortunate beheading thing started. Show any approach by the President to ISIS. I will be glad to show you two different episodes of McCain pressing the skin with his ISIS constituency. And if you google it, you can find at least two other GOP Congressmen praising ISIS in its opposition to Bashir Assad. But go ahead. Try to gin the JV thing all you want. It'll make you look like Francis the Mule with a mouth full of peanut butter.

Even Fox Defends Wendy Davis Ad About Abbott’s History of War Against Justice For Texans

Throughout the Davis/Abbott campaign, Wendy Davis exposed the fact that Greg Abbott believes in government for some of the people all of the time. The focus of Davis’ latest ad is to chronicle Abbott’s history of believing in justice for some while denying it to others.

The message behind the ad is that Abbott, like other Republicans, believes he got his so screw you.

Nothing exemplifies this more than Abbott’s efforts to deny people with disabilities the very benefit he got. It’s the same mentality that came with Paul Ryan’s effort to deny others access to the same social security benefits Ryan enjoyed once upon a time.

It’s par for the course for people who subscribe to the Ayn Rand theory that they are entitled to government help, but anyone else in the same position is just a lazy taker.

Abbott recovered millions of dollars in lawsuits after a falling tree injured his spine and left him paralyzed. No one faults him for that. The issue is his on-going battle to deny others the same benefit.

Wendy Davis’ latest ad documents this sordid history in what has been an on-going theme of Greg Abbott looking out for himself and his donors to the detriment of everyone else in Texas. The ad documents the fact that Abbott claimed a disabled woman really isn’t disabled because she has a prosthetic leg. Abbott ruled against a rape victim who sued a corporation that didn’t do a background check on a sexual predator.

Predictably, Abbott and his defenders tried to spin the ad into being about his disability. After all, we know just how much energy Abbott dedicates to defending minority rights. (sarcasm) We see Abbott’s defense of minority rights in laws that disenfranchise minorities and in his on going fight to deny women access to reproductive care, including abortions. When Abbott pals around with Ted Nugent and seeks out the white nationalist and misogynist, Charles Murray, to advise him on education policy, it’s all about protecting minority rights.

The reality is Abbott is a great advocate for that 1% who line his pockets be it to get government contracts, handouts, or simply keep their toxic chemicals a secret from the public.

Naturally, when Abbott runs interference for a hospital that continued to employ a socipathic neuro-surgeon after he botched several surgeries and left patients paralyzed it’s all about protecting a donor’s interests to the detriment of patients.

So when Wendy Davis calls him out for his history of denying rights to disabled Texans, Abbott whines that she’s being mean to him because he’s disabled.

In reality, Abbott is the one who exploited his disability for political gain. Davis’ ad was about Abbott’s history of fighting to deny other disabled people the justice that he got after his tragic accident. As my mother used to say, this is about Abbott wanting to sit on two chairs with one behind. On one hand, Abbott used his disability in several campaign ads for his advantage. On the other he claims that an ad attacking his hypocrisy when it comes to justice for people with disabilities is really about attacking his disability.

The moment Abbott decided to exploit his own disability for political gain, he opened the door to a public discussion about how he treats other people in the same position. Or as Fox Houston’s Legal Analyst, Chris Titico put it:

Greg Abbott can’t use his disability as a sword and a shield in this campaign. And he’s had several ads talking about his disability. That really makes it kind of fair game I think for Wendy Davis to talk About it.

Titico went on to say that Wendy Davis’ ad chronicles how Abbott “spent the rest of his career ensuring that others can’t get the same benefit he got.”

Mustafa Tameez nailed the politics behind Abbott’s attempt to spin the ad’s purpose and content. Throughout this campaign, Wendy Davis has steadily narrowed the gap between her and Abbott. In a race that began with Abbott being 20 points ahead, the gap is now a mere six and a half points. The fact that he is using his money to attack Davis proves this race is far more competitive than Abbott is willing to admit.

Watch the exchange between Titco and Tameez here.

It’s never good news for a Republican candidate when Fox takes their opponent’s side.

Texans are slowly seeing through the smoke and mirrors of Abbott’s war on disabled Texans who only want the same access to justice that Abbott had.

FOX can be balanced - some of the time.

Accidents DO happen.Shepard Smith is pretty fair. That's why they took him off their evening news.

Obama Cancels Trip To Hold Cabinet Meeting On Ebola
Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is cancelling political travel to meet with his Cabinet on the Ebola outbreak.

The White House says Obama is calling off a planned trip to New Jersey and Connecticut and instead will convene Cabinet officials coordinating the government's Ebola response at the White House.

The change comes as a second health worker in Dallas who provided care for the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S. has tested positive for the disease.

Obama had planned to speak at a fundraiser for Senate Democrats in Union, New Jersey, and then headline a rally for Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy.

That ugly lesbian knows ****. You have a lot in common.

So we can loosen immigration laws to allow more "qualified" workers into the US to take jobs from US citizens and you have no problems with that. Ship a few jobs overseas and you are the devil. Whats the difference between allowing non-citizens into the country to take US jobs vs shipping jobs out of the country? The way I look at it, they are the same thing.

They're not taking jobs away from Americans. The demand for engineers in Silicon Valley is at its height. Simply put, demand is higher than supply. The only way the high tech companies can continue to expand is to get our government to expand its green card immigration permits to hire the best from outside the US. That's how our country remains competitive in the world marketplace.

Even Engineering PhD's earned at US colleges and universities are by foreign students. It behooves our high tech companies to hire them - as many as possible.

On the lower end of the job scale are service industries. Not many Americans are willing to wash dishes, wait on tables, or work as a bus boy. Many from other countries love nothing better than to come to the US to fill those jobs.

It's the same as on cruise ships; most of the workers are from foreign countries, and not many Americans are found working as stewards, waiters, cooks, maintenance workers, servers, and the majority of service jobs.

Without those workers from foreign countries, cruise ships wouldn't be providing this service.

You're an idiot with what seems to be a weird fascination for other peoples sexuality. Why is that? Did your mommy dress you in Mary Janes? You seriously have a problem.

Asshole.

Whats wrong with your math?

There's about 120,000,000 there and eight to eleven million undocumented here in the states. Add to that billion Indians, 3 Billion Chinese... well you should be able to understand we don't need to be sending jobs over seas.

Relax Boob. Maddow is an idiot. Keith Oberman in a skirt.
