Actually the polls have improved quite a bit for President Obama especially when compared to the GOP presidential candidates. And those are the ones I'm watching.

 

Here's more of that good ol' time GOP hypocrisy.

The left should be very concerned about Olympia Snowe retiring, you leftists lost a solid vote.

 

Say what? She voted with the rest of the Republicans on every issue but social issues.
Are you so off the rail to the right that a Republican who is not a teabagger is a leftist?

 

Put down the crack pipe........She is a liberal on many current issues and calls herself a moderate. She supports abortion and gay rights and amnesty for Illegal Aliens. In fiscal matters and on defense, Snowe is somewhat conservative though she rejected fiscal sanity, voting nay on Cut Cap and Balance.

While she voted for the Economic Growth and tax relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA) of 2002. With the Obama minions, she was one of only three Republicans to support the Obama stimulus Additionally, voting with Democrats on Cap and Trade Plan. She was a member of a group of six Senators trying to craft a socialist healthcare bill.

The leftists need to be worried;

OBAMA SUPPORTS MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS

Mexican drug cartels are no doubt thrilled with the Obama Administration's crackdown on voter-approved medical marijuana dispensaries. So much for change and 2008 campaign promises to respect states' rights. So much for jobs. The medical marijuana industry is one of the few job creators in the current down economy. If Obama succeeds in destroying the domestic medical marijuana industry, international drug cartels will move in to meet demand and reap the profits. This is basic economics. As long as there is a demand for marijuana, there will be a supply. Replacing domestic growers with organized crime groups that also sell cocaine, meth and heroin is not a good thing. Marijuana prohibition is a gateway drug policy.

Obama minions refuse to designate Mexican gangs as terrorists

Officials from the Obama administration tturned down pleas from lawmakers and public-interest groups to place the names of Mexican drug cartels on their list of designated terrorist organizations.
The “terrorist organization” designation would give U.S. law enforcement agencies the authority to use such measures as the Patriot Act to crack down on suspected drug cartel members and associates using tools such as seizing their bank accounts or imposing harsher prison sentences for gun possession.
The issue arose during a House Homeland Security subcommittee hearing on border security. Top members of the U.S. House of Representatives on May 6 called on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to support the designation of certain Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
U.S. Rep. Peter T. King (R-NY), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, and Rep. Michael T. McCaul, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Management also requested that Secretary Clinton develop a comprehensive strategy to assist the Mexican government win their war against the violent and deadly cartels such as Los Zetas, who are suspected of murdering an American law enforcement agent.
As reported in the Law Enforcement Examiner, in a joint letter to Secretary Clinton, the Members wrote that “the Mexican drug cartels present a dangerous threat to the national security of the United States.”

The Members urged Clinton to “use every capability of the U.S. Government to counter this growing threat to our economy, our security and well being of our citizens. Equally as important, we must make sure Mexico does not become a failed state and yet another haven for terrorists.” The Congressmen stated that the purpose of their letter was threefold:

• To bring to your attention the conclusions reached as a result of our March 31, 2011, Committee on Homeland Security’s Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Management hearing, “The U.S. Homeland Security Role in the Mexican War Against Drug Cartels.”
• To encourage support of H.R. 1270, designating certain Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
• To request that [the State] Department develop a comprehensive strategy with the overall goal of assisting the Mexican Government in their effort to win the war against the drug cartels.

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, “The massacres of young people and migrants, the killing and disappearance of Mexican journalists, the use of torture, and the phenomena of car bombs have received wide media coverage and have led some analysts to question if the violence has been transformed into something new, beyond the typical violence that has characterized the trade. For instance, some observers have raised the concern that the Mexican [Drug Trafficking Organizations] DTOs may be acting more like domestic terrorists.”
"This increased violence towards the Mexican Government, legal system and media threatens the very foundation of that nation. The threat of Mexico becoming a lawless haven should cause this Administration to seek the tools it needs to ensure the security of our border and provide assistance to our ally in the south," stated the Congressmen.
"The Mexican drug cartels present a dangerous threat to the national security of the United States. I strongly urge you to use every capability of the U.S. Government to counter this growing threat to our economy, our security and well being of our citizens. Equally as important, we must make sure Mexico does not become a failed state and yet another haven for terrorists."
Besides King and McCaul, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL), Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Rep. Dan Burton (R-I
Grayling Williams, director of Homeland Security’s counternarcotics enforcement, replied that there already are enough laws to combat drug gangs in the United States. He also said that using such laws and tactics that "might be too severe."
The Mexican news media are reported to be closely following the debate about whether the U.S. military and police will use tactics reserved for terrorists against the Mexican cartels such as Los Zetas.
"The Mexican government has warned the United States against any actions that would violate its sovereignty," a police source told the Law Enforcement Examiner. "It's almost comical to hear the Mexican government complain about their sovereignty when illegal aliens, drug smugglers and human traffickers violate U.S. sovereignty every single day -- and sometimes even Mexico's military and police, for that matter," he said.
A war between the cartels and the Mexican government that started in December 2006 has claimed more 35,000 lives and resulted in the discovery of mass graves. A “terrorist” designation for drug cartels also would make it easier for the Justice Department to extradite gang members to the United States, according to several legal experts.
Meanwhile, In spite of all that's occurring in his own country, Mexican President Felipe Calderon repeated his position that the U.S. market for drugs is feeding the violence in his country.
“I think there needs to be a little consistency in political policies,” Calderon said during a meeting that included U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Not everybody you don't like is a terrorist. Not everybody who commits crimes is a terrorist.

 

They are to brainwashed parrots.

 

The Senate just voted down the Blunt Amendment, which would have exempted employers from providing specific health insurance coverage if they had "moral or religious objections".

I'm glad sanity sometimes prevails in the halls of Congress.

I bet the Democrats are going to have a field day with this issue from now until November.

Democrats Narrowly Block Blunt Amendment

Hey that was almost like coming together.

 

Oh, and by the way, Rush Limbaugh hit a new low (if that's possible) by calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" who engages in promiscuous sex. What an asshole.

http://www.nydailynews.com/life-sty...ons-article-1.1031283?localLinksEnabled=false

 

I never saw a political party that was so hung up on how we label things. These are the same people who got the vapors because Obama didn't constantly refer to the "war" on terror. As if he's obligated to adopt the same terminology favored by George W. Bush.

 

Nooo, it would be like coming together if the vote was 90-10.

 

I saw that and ol' Rush is taking a lot of heat over it. And in reality it just goes to show how desperate he really is.

No kidding but it actually is a result of the pre-planned and coordinated right wing false propaganda and their talking points. Just like Jon Stewart pointed out yesterday when he read off the RNC's talking points list and then compared the exact same phrases on Fox News.

Yeah the next time it comes up for a vote that's the way it will probably go because there will be than many Democrats in the Senate.
