Its both hilarious and hypocritical in my opinion to find the architect of the supposed GOP deficit reduction plan, Paul Ryan, is opposed to unions, unless of course they benefit his family's construction business.

Paul Ryan: Secret Union Lover?

The GOP lawmaker's generally anti-union track record has one outlier: a pro-labor law that affects his family's construction company.

I dont see a problem at all. Private sector unions are a far cry different from public sector unions. Prevailing wage is prevailing wage, and the jobs are out for bid, I call that competition, public sector unions have no competition.

Oh for fucks sake Ace the crooked mother fucker is feathering his own family's nest and making money off his position as an alleged conservative/Republican/Tea Bagger in Congress. Just like your Tea Party darling Michelle Bachmann raking about a quarter million dollars a year in farm subsidies for her family's farms.

But let me show you why you can't see what's right in front of you, Ace. Its because you're easily brainwashed by just stupid false right-wing propaganda like this.

David Koch: ‘Hardcore socialist’ Obama is ‘scary to me’

Oil baron David Koch has made it clear he is no fan of President Barack Obama, but Wednesday night he provided a fresh reason for his anti-Obama views: the president is frightening.

Obama is "a hardcore socialist," Koch told the New York Magazine at a spring ball, "and he’s marvelous at pretending to be something other than that, but that is what I believe he truly is, a hardcore socialist. He’s scary to me."

Koch and his brother Charles are owners of the energy company Koch Industries. The brothers were principle financiers of Wisconsin's Republican Governor Scott Walker and the tea party movement. They are also supporters of free market groups like Americans for Prosperity, the Cato Institute, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and the Reason Foundation.

In addition to being a scary hardcore socialist, David Koch said that Obama deserved no credit for the operation that tracked down and killed Osama bin Laden.

"He just made the decision, it was obvious where the guy is," he told the magazine. "He was one of the worst terrorists organizing attacks on the United States. I mean, no president in his right mind would not approve that decision to go eliminate him."

Now, I'm sure you're going to take one look at that and believe every fucking word of as the gospel when the reality is instead of being a hard core socialist President Obama isn't even a "progressive" and there's days when he sure as fuck doesn't even look like a democrat.

If President had a socialist bone in his body he'd have nationalized the banks when he had the chance and many many economists were recommending that. Instead he left them privatized and even though they are back to making money and probably ripping us off again he's received nothing but criticism for that.

I'm telling you Ace I think being brainwashed is making your head softer by the day.

In honor of the unemployment rate going back up to 9% after the conservative/Republican/Tea Baggers ran on jobs, jobs, jobs in the last election if they're not doing anything to create the jobs they promised just what are they up to? It can't be all just them ramming their Fundamentalist Christian agenda down our throats can it? No matter how much the richest 5% of this nation believe in and applaud the Christian Fundamentalists being able to tell everyone else what to do that's not really worth much in dollars and doesn't help the rich get richer which is after all the GOP's main mission so what have they REALLY been up to?

Well let's see as we all know they are attempting to end Medicare and Medicade and stop feeding mothers and infants. They are willing to cut anything except $4 billion in tax subsided to the oil companies making windfall profits at the gas pump. In fact they more than protect them and their subsides the conservative/Republicans/Tea Baggers in congress are telling the Democrats to stop being mean to them.

Republican congressman to Democrats: Quit trying to 'demonize' big oil

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/...to-Democrats:-Quit-trying-to-demonize-big-oil

This is while we're actually watching the price of gasoline increase instantly everyday for 44 days every time the price of oil increased. Except this time oil only managed to reach $112 per barrel before gasoline was selling for more than $4 per gallon. The last time it took a record $140 per barrel to push the price of gasoline and diesel to more than $4 per gallon.

And not the price of oil has fallen by more than $10 per barrel and yet the price of gasoline first went up and now has fallen by a fraction of a cent.

So much for the conservatives being willing to help average Americans because high gasoline and diesel prices hurts everyone and the hurt is usually compounded because it costs more for trasnportation to the store and once they get there the prices are higher because it cost more to transport everything they buy.

But that's just their buddies in the oil business. The Conservatives are actually protecting rich corporations and stand idly buy while corporate profits are up 36.8% in 2010 and the unemployment has just climbed back to 9%.

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/03/27/111113/strong-corporate-profits-amid.html

And I just find it hilarious that conservative/Republican/Tea Baggers can stand there and still try to claim that cutting taxes for rich individuals and corporations creates jobs and increasing taxes will decrease jobs. We've had 10 years worth of tax cuts, got Zero job growth for eight years and ended up with a 9% unemployment rate after our economy collapsed due to the greedy and corrupt practices of that same 5% who got their taxes cut.

And all this when US Taxes are at their lowest rate since 1958. And the conservative/Republican/Tea Baggers are still screaming taxes are too high.

http://thinkprogress.org/2011/05/06/taxes-low-58/

But I also find it absolutely nauseating to see how many Americans can't see through those lies.

Especially when its right in front of them.

The new unemployment report released by the Labor Department this morning finds that 244,000 jobs were added last month, the third straight solid month of job growth. But, the unemployment rate ticked up to 9 percent. Jobs gains for February and March were also revised upwards.

The Associated Press reports that CEO pay at the nation’s largest companies actually now exceeds that of pre-recession levels. The “typical pay package for the head of a company in the Standard & Poor’s 500 was $9 million in 2010.”

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that the GOP Medicare privatization proposal might make seniors “die sooner” because many more who can’t afford it would likely go without needed health care. Seniors “will run out of money very quickly,” she told a Congressional hearing yesterday.

And there next move is to try and do the Koch Brothers a big personal favor by eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency if they can. Then we can go back to toxic waste dumps and rivers that can catch on fire.

The Lie Of Consrvatism Continues

I've consistently maintained that conservatism as it is preached and practiced in this nation is a lie.

And here's what I think is a good example of those lies in action. Now, remember conservatives are supposed to be for individual rights, for the constitution, and for a smaller less intrusive government.

That is unless they can moralize and tell everyone else what to do. In that case they'd jump at the chance to make drug testing of all Americans mandatory. That's right, no rights or constitution when it comes to drugs. And expand government to include a whole new national police force to piss test everyone in the country. Fucking hypocrites.

Gingrich: We should have Singapore-style drug tests for Americans

Newt Gingrich followed Bill O'Reilly's lead last night on The O'Reilly Factor, talking about how Americans' drug use -- and not horribly wrong-headed American drug laws -- are responsible for the border wars being waged by Mexican cartels.

O'Reilly seemed to think that Singapore might be a model to follow, since things work so swell over there:

O'Reilly: I don't know whether you know this, but I did one of my papers at Harvard on this -- on how to reduce demand for drugs. But the United States has never figured it out. You can't lock up drug users, I mean, that doesn't work. And you can't force them into rehab, you have to want rehab, and even if you want it, it's very hard to get off hard drugs and alcohol. Very hard.

What you can do, though, is sanction people along the way. And this is what they do in Singapore. If you're caught possessing drugs -- and that means drugs in your bloodstream, they have a little hair thing, and they put it in there -- then you have to go to mandatory rehab. And they have centers where you go.

Now, they have no drug problem in Singapore at all, number one, because they hang drug dealers -- they execute them. And number two, the market is very thin, because when they catch you using, you go away with a mandatory rehab. You go to some rehab center, which they have, which the government has built.

The United States does not have the stomach for that. We don't have the stomach for that, Mr. Speaker.

Gingrich: Well, I think it's time we get the stomach for that, Bill. And I think we need a program -- I would dramatically expand testing. I think we have -- and I agree with you. I would try to use rehabilitation, I'd make it mandatory. And I think we have every right as a country to demand of our citizens that they quit doing illegal things which are funding, both in Afghanistan and in Mexico and in Colombia, people who are destroying civilization.

Of course, mandatory testing means that everyone is a suspect, and everyone must submit. Aren't these the same right-wingers who are complaining loudly that Obama's supposed "socialism" is all about taking away our rights and enslaving us in a totalitarian state?

I keep hearing that Newt is trying to position himself for a 2012 presidential run. Nice to know what he has in mind for us citizens.

More Republican Hilarity

I just love watching Cryin' John Boehner flounder around as speaker of the house but find it hilarious when he goes somewhere and opens his mouth only to have what he says fact checked to epic failure.

No wonder our economy is still struggling if Boehner actually does represent the conservative/Republican/Tea Baggers in congress and they are as ignorant of our economy and economic factors.

Check some of it out.

Boehner’s Views on Economy Contradicted by Studies

House Speaker John Boehner, giving Wall Street leaders his prescriptions for growing the U.S. economy and reducing the nation’s debt, built his case on several assertions that are contradicted by market indicators and government reports.

Boehner said in his May 9 speech to the Economic Club of New York that government borrowing was crowding out private investment, the 2009 economic-stimulus package hurt job creation, and a Republican plan to privatize Medicare will give future recipients the “same kinds of options” lawmakers have.

With Democrats and Republicans sparring over legislation to extend the government’s $14.29 trillion debt limit and trim budget deficits, negotiations are being complicated by disputes over basic economic facts.

“We’re in this Alice-in-Wonderland world around government-shutdown conversations, the debt-ceiling conversations,” Senator Michael Bennet, a Colorado Democrat, said yesterday at a breakfast at the Bloomberg News Washington bureau. The debate “has not established a shared understanding of the facts” about the nation’s economic problems, he said.

Boehner’s statement in his Wall Street speech that government spending “is crowding out private investment and threatening the availability of capital” runs counter to the behavior of credit markets.

Capital Spending

“Look at interest rates. Look at capital spending,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist of IHS Inc., a research firm based in Englewood, Colorado. “It’s very hard to come to a conclusion that there’s any kind of crowding out.”

The cost of borrowing is low by historical standards. Yields on 10-year Treasury notes were 3.21 percent and yields on 2-year Treasury notes were 0.59 percent at 5 p.m. in New York yesterday, according to Bloomberg Data. Average spreads on investment-grade corporate bonds have narrowed from 1.64 a year ago to 1.39 on May 9, according to Barclays Capital.

The TED spread, the difference between what banks and the U.S. government pay to borrow for three months, fell 2.2 basis points since May 9, the biggest drop since April 5. A narrowing spread means banks are more willing to lend. The 23.87-point spread is just below the two-year average.
Business investment in equipment and software was up 15.3 percent last year and 11.6 percent at an annual rate in the first quarter of this year, according to the U.S. Commerce Department.
Backed by Greenspan

Still, some economists, including former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan and Stanford University Professor John B. Taylor, a Treasury undersecretary in Republican President George W. Bush’s administration, have argued that the deficits have been crowding out private investment.

Greenspan said the deficit is one reason that corporate investment as a share of profits is lower than historical patterns, in an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Dec. 3, 2010.

“Approximately one-third of the decline in capital investment as a share of cash flow is directly attributable to” the “crowding out by U.S. Treasury borrowing,” Greenspan said in the interview.

Boehner, 61, an Ohio Republican, also said the 2009 stimulus program “hampered job creation in our country,” a view at odds with the Congressional Budget Office’s findings last August. The stimulus package increased the number of people employed by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million and cut unemployment by between 0.7 percentage point and 1.8 percentage point, according to CBO.
Medicare Costs

The speaker also repeated an assertion made by House Republicans that their plan to privatize Medicare will give future recipients “the same kinds of options that members of Congress currently have.”

The CBO projected in an April 5 report that under the Republican plan, by 2030 the government would pay 32 percent of the health-care costs of a typical 65-year-old. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s benefit handbook says the government pays as much as 75 percent of the health-care costs of federal workers, including members of Congress.

Taxes are a flashpoint in the budget talks, with Republicans rejecting increases in the negotiations, which continued yesterday at the White House between Vice President Joe Biden and bipartisan congressional leaders.

In his speech, Boehner criticized a 1990 budget deal that included a tax increase, saying “the result of that so-called bargain was the recession of the early 1990s.” The speaker said, “it wasn’t until the economy picked back up toward the end of that decade that we achieved a balanced budget.”
1993 Tax Increase

The speaker didn’t mention a 1993 tax increase that raised the top individual marginal rate to 39.6 percent, where it stood until 2001. In 1998, the government recorded its first budget surplus in almost 30 years.

The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in 1994, the year after Congress passed the second tax increase of the decade. The growth rate dropped to 2.5 percent in 1995, and thereafter rose to 3.7 percent in 1996. The economy grew more than 4 percent a year from 1997 through 2000.

The 1990s were a period of “stalemate between the Republican Congress” and President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, that paved the way for balanced budgets because there was “no major giveaway legislation,” said Eugene Steuerle, a former Treasury Department official who is Institute Chair at the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan research center in Washington.
Fannie, Freddie

Boehner also repeated familiar Republican political criticisms that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two government mortgage companies, “triggered the whole meltdown” of the U.S. financial system.

That differs from the conclusions earlier this year of the Democratic majority on the congressionally appointed Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. It reported that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac “participated in the expansion of subprime and other risky mortgages, but they followed rather than led Wall Street and other lenders in the rush for fool’s gold.”Three of the panel’s four Republicans, while faulting Fannie and Freddie, didn’t place the blame squarely on the two mortgage giants.

“They were part of the securitization process that lowered mortgage credit quality standards,” said a dissenting report by Keith Hennessey, Douglas Holtz-Eakin and Bill Thomas, former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. In a Wall Street Journal essay, the three said laying primary blame on government intervention is “misleading” and cited 10 reasons, taken together, for the crisis.

Only Peter Wallison, the other Republican commissioner, offered support for Boehner’s view that Fannie and Freddie caused the mortgage bubble and subsequent collapse. Wallison’s dissent put most of the blame on government housing policies that encouraged Fannie and Freddie to buy more subprime mortgages to promote home ownership among low-income people.

Nancy Pelosi Schools GOP/Tea Party Freshmen

With old Cryin' John Boehner floundering around contradicting himself and scaring the financial markets its a good thing we've still got Nancy Pelosi in there as House Minority leader so she can slap some of those new house members back to reality and basically tell them to man up and take personal responsibility for their actions.

First, if you can believe this, after things like the conservative/Republican/Tea Baggers claiming the health care reforms had "death panels" and would cut Medicare by $500 Billion. Even after running attack ads in the last election against democrats for that. Now they go running and crying to President Obama no less claiming the Democrats are using scare tactics because they are pointing out the Republicans voted to end Medicare as we know it.

Its hilarious but fortunately Nancy Pelosi has enough balls to straighten their crybaby asses out.

Pelosi to GOP freshmen: The truth about your plan to end Medicare hurts

This is unbelievably rich.
House Republican freshmen admit that their so-called "MediScare" attacks on Democrats helped them win a big majority in 2010. Democrats had voted for the health care law, which included $500 billion in "cuts" to Medicare—primarily slashing overpayments to private insurers—and Republican challengers never let them forget it.

Now, they say, it's time to let bygones be bygones....
On Tuesday, Kinzinger and 41 of his colleagues sent a letter to President Obama, asking him to rein in Democratic attacks on GOP members who voted for the House budget, which includes a plan to privatize Medicare and cap spending on the program.

"We ask that you stand above partisanship, condemn the disingenuous attacks and work with this Congress to reform spending on entitlement programs," the letter reads.

Can you say "death panels"?

Even better than this, however, is Leader Pelosi's response, in the form of a memo to GOP freshmen.

We know it’s hard for you to accept the anger over your vote to end Medicare as we know it, but holding a press conference to ask the American people to ignore your irresponsible vote is, frankly, a bit puzzling. You defended your vote just two weeks ago, but you didn’t like what you got back from your constituents. It’s time to take responsibility for your actions.... In case you missed it, here’s the helpful memo we sent your way yesterday.

To: GOP Freshman
Fr: Democratic Leader’s Press Office
Da: May 10, 2011
Re: The Truth Hurts — You Did Vote to End Medicare as We Know It

Just half a day after Speaker Boehner said he wants to engage in “honest conversations about how best to preserve Medicare” (ie: the GOP’s plan to end Medicare as we know it), you are trying to silence criticism of your vote supporting the plan....

Sometimes the truth hurts.
House Republicans voted for a GOP budget that:

Ends Medicare as we know it. Forces seniors to pay over $6,000 more a year.
Requires a 54-year-old today to save an additional $182,000 in his or her retirement account, or $250 a week, just to pay the costs of the plan.

Democrats have a plan to ensure older Americans have access to affordable, high quality care – it’s called Medicare and it currently serves more than 46 million Americans.

It's not a "messaging" problem, it's not a "mean Democrats" problem. The House Republicans voted nearly unanimously to end Medicare. That vote is not just going to go away.

High School Student Challenges Michele Bachmann To Debate

I would be willing to bet that Michele Bachmann and her campaign handlers will just pretend like they never heard of an open letter from a High School student challenging her to public debate on the US Constitution.

That would be the smartest move because I'm pretty sure most high school students do know more about the US Constitution than Bachmann does and publicly debating one could be political suicide.

But anyway here's the challenge. Let's see if it has legs in the news cycle and what Bachmann says or does about.

John Stewart And Bill O’Reilly To Debate Monday Night

You can bet I'll be watching the O'Reilly Factor this coming Monday night because John Stewart has agreed to debate Bill O'Reilly on his own show.

And while in a real debate I'm convinced Stewart would shred O'Reilly's arguments I'm not sure that's going to be the case Monday night because one of O'Reilly's favorite tricks is to get people on his show where he can interrupt them every time they try to say anything. Its a really chicken shit trick that's O'Reilly's stock and trade.

But I'll still be watching to see how Stewart handles it and if he can actually manage to say anything.

Jon Stewart Shreds Bill O'Reilly On His Own Show

Well Jon Stewart debated Bill O'Reilly on his own show last night and gave old Billo quite the spanking I must say. Stewart successfully countered everyone of O'Reilly's points and rounded it all very nicely by pointing out what was really going on is that Fox News and Bill O'Reilly have a "selective outrage machine" which is both false and hypocritical.

The only thing I was disappointed in is that near the end of the debate O'Reilly defeated his own argument and proved Stewart's point about Fox's selective outrage machine but Stewart failed to catch it and note it missing his opportunity to totally destroy O'Reilly once and for all.

The moment of O'Reilly's defeat came with the glaring contradiction O'Reilly made when he tried to counter Stewart's claim that Fox employed a selective outrage machine by claiming Stewart was actually criticizing Fox because of its diversity.

Well fine Billo you dumb fuck there you go. Why is it great thing for Fox News to have diversity but a disgrace and outrage for the White House to embrace diversity? And the answer is because you're a hypocritical fool.

But be sure to watch it yourself. Its right here:

More Gingrich Claims Quoting What He Says Is A Falsehood

Another thing that is just laughable to be is watching the Republicans scurrying like so many rats trying to position themselves to run for president and every time one of them breaks from the pack (like Donald Trump) the end up blowing their chance in incredibly embarrassing fashion.

And the latest one is Newt Gingrich. Now Gingrich is another candidate that doesn't have a prayer anyway because of all his political baggage which includes resigning from congress in disgrace.

But oh lordy has he blown any any chance of credibility with his last fuck up where he called the Paul Ryan budget to radical of a step and "republican social engineering."

Well as you can imagine since that's the conservative/Republican/Tea Baggers holy grail they immediately started firing at poor old Newt and being the newt he is as soon as he got criticized he immediately flip flopped but managed to do it in the most hilarious and discrediting way I think I've ever seen

Here's good old Newt:

Newt Gingrich: ‘Any Ad Which Quotes What I Said On Sunday Is A Falsehood’

On Sunday, Newt Gingrich blasted Paul Ryan’s Medicare proposal calling it “right-wing social engineering” and “radical.” On Monday, he defended his remarks, blaming the liberal media for stoking a controversy by taking them “out of context.”

By yesterday afternoon, he was calling Ryan to apologize. Then last night, in a remarkable interview on Fox News, Gingrich argued that it was dishonest to quote anything he said two days ago:

I want to make sure every House Republican is protected from some kind of dishonest Democratic ad. So let me say on the record, any ad which quotes what I said on Sunday is a falsehood. Because I have said publicly those words were inaccurate and unfortunate and I’m prepared to stand up… When I make a mistake — and I’m going to on occassion — I want to share with the American people “that was a mistake” because that way we can have an honest conversation.

More GOP Hilarity

I can't believe House Majority leader Eric Cantor would be dumb enough to do this but now he's set the Republicans up as using extortion to set up a huge interstate fight and tons of hard feelings with what will be bi partisan citizens.

Check this out.:excited: You talk about a perfect way to bring fourth human jealousy and competition for resources. This is the very blue print for it.

Cantor Says Congress Won’t Pay For Missouri Disaster Relief Unless Spending Is Cut Elsewhere

Firefighters and rescue workers who arrived in Joplin, MO, found that the deadly tornado that hit the state Sunday had left a “barren, smoky wasteland” in its path. Rescue workers worked through more storms in an effort to find potential survivors, even as the death toll rose to at least 119. President Obama pledged full support to the state Monday, telling survivors, “We’re here with you. We’re going to stay by you.”

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), however, said that before Congress approved federal funds for disaster relief, it had to offset the spending with cuts to other programs. The Washington Times reports:

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Monday that if Congress passes an emergency spending bill to help Missouri’s tornado victims, the extra money will have to be cut from somewhere else.

“If there is support for a supplemental, it would be accompanied by support for having pay-fors to that supplemental,” Mr. Cantor, Virginia Republican, told reporters at the Capitol. The term “pay-fors” is used by lawmakers to signal cuts or tax increases used to pay for new spending.

In 2005, Republicans criticized then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) for his willingness to fund relief in the wake of Hurricane Katrina by adding to the deficit. “It is right to borrow to pay for it,” he said at the time, explaining that cuts could “attack” the economy.

Meanwhile, as Climate Progress reports, the government’s tornado forecasting service faces cuts in the GOP Congress, including cuts to NOAA weather satellite that “could halve the accuracy of precipitation forecasts.” Accurate and early forecasting is tremendously important, as “tornado deaths in the United States have gone from 8 per 1 million people in 1925 to 0.11 per 1 million people today — a trend largely attributed to early-warning systems fed by advanced meteorology and the introduction of Doppler radar.”

Kansas backs bill restricting abortion coverage

Okay ladies you better buy rape insurance. Seems women need to plan ahead on being raped especially if you work of live in Kansas.

Oh well the country slides deeper into the pit.

And I think its already beginning to cost them. Here's what I think is the first referendum on Ryan's budget. The Republicans lose a strongly conservative seat in New York today.

Thanks and I think ran into trouble on the Forbes Link. But these are pretty good times for the liberal-left lately.
