Dems out of ideas, steal Trump's

In a clear sign of being devoid of any new ideas and a willingness to steal whatever they can from anywhere they can and claim that it's theirs, Democrats are now calling for the country to "drain the swamp." And the real irony is that it's those Democrats who dwell in the swamp that are calling for its draining.

The metaphor "drain the swamp" while originally referred to the method of keeping the mosquito population under control to combat malaria, it's now used to mean a way to fix problems within the federal government. It has been used most recently by President Trump during his 2016 campaign and thereafter, but it isn't a new term.

Drain the swamp may have been coined by Victor L. Berger (1860 - 1929) in his book Broadsides in which he referred to changing capitalism as "drain[ing] the swamp."

Winfield R. Gaylord (1870 - 1943) described the socialist desire to "drain" the "capitalist swamp." Gaylord was an idiot who never understood how capitalism made America wealthy and gave people the benefit of equal opportunity rather than his socialist desire of equal outcome, which is ridiculous.

In 1983 President Ronald Reagan called for "drain[ing] the swamp" of bureaucracy in the federal government, much like Trump is calling for today.

Pat Buchanan a 2000 presidential candidate and anti-Semite said in opposition to the dominant parties, "Neither Beltway party is going to drain the swamp: it's a protected wetland; they breed in it, they spawn in it."

Then in 2006 Nancy Pelosi [whose Native American name is "Dances with Dentures"] while announcing her 100-Hour Plan responding to the dominance of the GOP mentioned the term "drain the swamp." Then her hands went into severe spasms.

Others have also used that term but it is President Trump who currently seems to own it; at least until the Democrats are trying to take it back. They are using the familiar slogan and trying to act more like President Trump because they ran out of ideas after Lincoln was elected.

Because Democrats are predictable, owing to their identity politics and lack of creativeness, you can expect to hear the chant "drain the swamp" become their battle cry.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) [whose Native American name is "Nostrils with Zip Codes"] said, "President Trump has embraced the most egregious establishment Republican norms and appointed the most conflict-of-interest-ridden Cabinet in my lifetime."

He then added that "The swamp has never been more foul, or more fetid, than under this president."

Not true.

Under former President Obama, there was plenty of foul, malodorous gases coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: Fast and Furious, Solyndra, the IRS scandal, the VA's deadly waiting lists, Hillary Clinton's illegal server and her deal with the Russians to sell them 20 percent of all our uranium, Obama's questionable business deals with coal mining, offshore drilling, cash advance companies and more and more and more.

So okay, you expect a swamp-dweller like Schumer to say things along the party line. But to use Trump's words about draining the swamp is actually funny. I hope the GOP deals with it properly.

It seems like all the Dems have are slogans, repealing the Second Amendment, identity politics, allowing illegal immigrants entry into the country and providing them with healthcare and jobs at the American taxpayer's expense.

You now have Hillary Clinton supporting Andrew Cuomo for his third re-election as Governor of New York, while not supporting Cynthia Nixon, a progressive who's running against him. Hillary laughed and pumped her fist in the air when Madeleine Albright told the crowd that there's a special place in hell for women who don't support women.

Words. That's all the Democrats have along with hypocrisy.

But to be fair, President Trump has also backed away from his campaign pledge of draining the swamp. Fox News' Neil Cavuto went after Trump and spoke to this problem:
"Let me be clear, Mr. President. How can you drain the swamp if you're the one who keeps muddying the waters?
"You didn't know about the $130,000 payment to a porn star, until you did. Said you knew nothing about how your former lawyer handled this, until you acknowledged today that you were the guy behind the retainer payment that took care of this. You insist that money from the campaign or campaign contributions played no role in the transaction. Of that you're sure. The thing is, not even 24 hours ago, sir, you couldn't recall any of this."

A lot of folks were really pissed off at Cavuto for this statement, but that's what you call journalism. I want Trump to succeed; many Democrats want him to fail, even at the expense of the benefit to our nation.

President Trump is not a paragon of virtue in his personal life--we all get it. He cheated on his first wife with Melania and had a romp with a porn actress when Melania was pregnant with his son Barron.

Why Obama and Hillary Clinton deserve the credit for stock market records

The DOW has soared 5,000 points since Donald Trump took the Oath of Office. We're on the cusp of hitting the 25,000 mark any day now.

President Trump is trying to take the credit for these record gains but we all know that it's former President Barack Hussein Obama who gets the credit and, believe it or not, Hillary Rotten Clinton.

Here's why:
1. In the eight years since Obama was sworn in, he has run the economy into the ground. The national debt increase $9 trillion. [If you want to know how big a number that is, if you counted to one trillion at one second per number, it would take you 31,710 years to finish. Now multiply that by 9!]
2. The Middle East was shredded with the creation of ISIS due to Obama's policies and his "leading from behind."
3. Obama put our tax money into failed companies such as Solyndra and bailed out the auto industry and other companies with our taxes. He even bailed out private equity landlords at the expense of the middle class.
4. The unemployment rate remained high under Obama and job growth remained relatively low.
5. Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election. She would have gone even further to the left had she won.
So Obama and Clinton deserve credit for the confidence the market has with the current administration. Sure, Trump is planning to reduce taxes for businesses, the middle and upper class, but you have to consider how much the former President and former incompetent secretary of state had on increasing confidence in the economy under President Trump.

President Trump simply rode their coattails.

Hillary's endorsement of online startup victimizes them

The "What should I do?" Incompetent
Hillary Clinton is once again at the center of a cyber attack, but now it may not be the Russians or another foreign government attacking her top secret and SAP documents on her illegal private server. 

This attack involves a startup that's attempting to become a social network for her supporters--those losers who cannot let go the fact that she is the worst candidate of all time and couldn't beat a TV personality with no political experience.

It all began last Sunday evening when she, in an apparent surprise to her low-information followers, tweeted her personal endorsement of a new, website called Verrit.

Hillary tweeted:
"I'm excited to sign up for @Verrit, a media platform for the 65.8 million! Will you join me and sign up too?" Then she gave the link, which I will not provide you, in case there's a worm or virus because I trust Hillary and her recommendations as much as I trust Bill Clinton to stay attired in a whorehouse.
Peter Daou, the creator of Verrit, attempted to provide an online hub for naive Clinton backers in order for them to share their delusions about how wonderful and intelligent she is on social media. 

Daou (a Vietnamese derivation of the colloquialism "dinky dau," meaning "crazy") refused to say if he had contacted the former failed secretary of state in a bid to secure her public support, but he probably did, and probably had a quid pro quo to deal with in the negotiation. 

Clinton's political disorganization Onward Together [so named because she isn't smart enough to go it alone] did not respond to inquiries from the media about its involvement in the effort to show public support.

But if any correspondence was sent via email, it's likely Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea know the answer to that question.

Onward Together has funded organizations involved with fighting against the President of the United States as they do all they can to promote socialism and the plight of women in Islamic countries--wait--I mean in the USA.

Shortly after the Clinton's tweet, however, Verrit stopped loading for web users due to a "pretty significant and sophisticated" cyber attack not involving cloths or White Out. 

Daou was clueless about who was behind the incident, but Maxine Waters (Duh-Calif.) blames Trump and called for his impeachment, immediate legal prosecution and the forfeiture of all his properties and businesses.

Clinton's tweet actually generated over 10,000 new Twitter followers for Verrit, proving once again there are over 10,000 mentally ill individuals on Twitter.

Once Verrit is back online, Daou and Clinton claim to have big ideas for the site and hope to get companies like  Solyndra and Poofume  to provide sponsorship.

Hillary has considered doing several podcasts once the site is back up. She believes her voice will attract many listeners.

Yes, her voice will attract the same people who watch women's tennis to hear the high-pitched screams of some of the players as they make contact with the balls . . . something Hillary Clinton hasn't done.

Ivanka's ski trip costs about $66K in Secret Service costs

(Photo: Getty)
An obviously left wing website, TeenVogue.com , posted an article about Ivanka Trump, in a clear example of how the left censors whatever positive exists within the Trump administration as they churn out anything they can spin into negative press.

The post referred to specifically is titled: "Ivanka Trump's Ski Trip Racks Up Over $66k in Secret Service Costs." It said that the costs Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner (her husband) and their children "racked up over $66k in Secret Service costs, which included $59,654 in hotel expenses and $6,884 for "multi-day ski passes."

Now that's an expensive vacation by any standard, and I believe that all politicians, except perhaps the President and Vice President, should have to pay their own way, and that's particularly true about their family members.

But the problem I have with this piece (I use the term 'piece' to refer to more than one thing) is the failure to consider that Trump has forgone a salary and donated his first quarterly check to the National Parks Department, totaling over $78k. 

Another problem is that while the Trump administration is spending at a faster pace than the previous Obama administration, it's very early in Trump's first term and the comparison is premature.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are certainly not paupers. They can afford to pay some of the expense themselves, but Jared is an official administration employee and Ivanka is the President's daughter, and they along with the kids, are entitled to Secret Service protection. Indeed, given the way the left has been behaving of late, absolutely need protection.

What I find amusing about the left is how they criticize conservative spending when they have a history of hiking taxes and making very poor investment decisions--think Solyndra (google it).

I am not a yuuuuge fan of this kind of spending--I wasn't happy when Michelle Obama and the kids took a separate jets to meet up with Barack Obama for vacation when they actually left the same day. 

But the hypocrisy isn't so much about the amount of unnecessary spending involved in the process of going on vacation, but the fact that the so-called "environmentally-friendly" Obamas did twice the polluting when it wasn't called for.

The Most Transparent Thing About Obama is His Lack of Transparency

Exclusively using a private email server as secretary of state is perhaps illegal, but if not, we undoubtedly can agree that it's wrong and downright stupid. Hillary Clinton's judgment is clearly analogous to that of a liberal tweaking Chuck Norris's nose and then calling him a pussy. It's stupid and it's going to get you hospitalized with only Obamacare to depend upon. Good luck.

But the Obama administration has stepped away from Hillary on this latest scandal and as "the most transparent administration" in the history of the United States, wants to get to the bottom of this.


So, is the Obama administration the most transparent one ever to grace the White House?


The answer is clearly: hahaha hahaha NO!

Coincidences and Coverups

Ahmed Abu Khatalla is captured after 2 years since his involvement with the Benghazi 911 attack that killed our ambassador and 3 Americans. Hillary Clinton gets interviewed by Fox News Network practically at the same time we learn of this. Coincidence?

The IRS loses 2 years of emails that would have clarified the involvement of Lois Lerner and perhaps Barack Obama in the scandal that targeted conservative groups, keeping them from obtaining their tax exempt status. Then 6 more IRS officials had "the dog eat their emails."  Another coincidence?

Obama trades 5 Taliban terrorists for a lowly Army deserter. This happens at the same time when he is planning to close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility. Now there's talk of him releasing scores more of these dangerous thugs. Yet another coincidence?

We had the Fast and Furious scandal, Benghazi, Bergdahl, Solyndra, the IRS, AP, NSA, James Rosen, and the New Black Panthers voting suppression scandal, lest we forget. One administration, so many "phony scandals." 

We have to ask ourselves the question: what are the chances we will ever get the hard evidence, the communications, emails and the like, about these scandals? Probably about as much chance as catching Jay Carney being totally truthful about Obama.

According to the Associated Press, the Obama administration last year cited "national security" 8,496 times to withhold information requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This is a 57% increase from the previous year. In fact, 36% of FOIA requests made in 2013 were either censored or denied, and in 196,034 other occasions, the "dog ate the homework" excuse was used--that is, they simply could not find the records requested.

So "the most transparent administration ever" is exactly the opposite of that claim. It should give you pause to wonder what other lies have they told, and what are they not telling us.

Ethanol Bad; Gasoline Good--but try telling that to the left

A new government study has concluded that bio-fuels increase greenhouse gasses more than traditional fuels. Yes, believe it or not, Barack Obama, Al Gore, and The View have been wrong about bio-fuels all along. 

I mean, I can see President Obama being wrong--he has never worked in the energy industry, or, um, any industry before, and Al Gore is a money-chasing twit who would sell his children to the gypsies (please, if you are a gypsy reading this, I apologize--selling a Gore child to you would be better for the child than growing up in that hypocrite's home). But Whoopie Goldberg?

The National Association of Corn Growers have dismissed the study, saying that it's bogus. But it's a government study--Obama's government--how could it be bogus? Perhaps they have a lot of corn money riding on ethanol; ya think?

The corn growers have a lot at stake--their corn is used in making ethanol, a gasoline substitute. But ethanol puts out a lot of crap in the air and gasoline turns out to be environmentally superior because it burns cleaner.

The left is aghast that "green" energy is a bigger pollutant than good old fashioned gasoline and coal. The left would like to put the kahbosh on these fuels, even if it means that the poor pay more or go cold or die. The left doesn't really care about the honest facts--they care about the power to force people to follow their dictates. And let's face it; they like the bribes that go with backing "green" energy.

I suspect that anyone who, after this government study, still wants to substitute ethanol for gasoline, and solar energy for coal, doesn't care a fig for the poor, and probably has some "skin in the game" when it comes to green energy. The truth is, however, that green energy like solar power, is actually inefficient--it's the waste product of the sun's energy. Of course, it would be great if it could be used efficiently, but we haven't gotten there yet, and nobody should be forced into using something that's inferior.

Never forget Solyndra. Oh, and global warming.


A New York reporter, is captured by Islamist terrorists who demand the release of three Gitmo prisoners in exchange for him. If the president refuses their demands, they plan to behead the reporter and videotape it for the Internet. But the United States doesn’t give in to terrorist’s demands and he has 24 hours before he is to be executed. 
The clock is ticking . . .

Sebelius Strong Arming

As you know, the Obamacare roll-out has been as successful as Solyndra and getting answers about Benghazi. Obama's minions are under the gun and this is especially true for Kathleen Sebelius, the figurehead of HHS, or as it's laughingly called, Health and Human Services.

Sebelius is refusing to answer the question as to whether or not she's still going around to companies with her hand out to support this chameleon law, a law that has been "tweaked" (as opposed to twerked) over 30 times. Of course, this is unconstitutional, but the Constitution is an old document, according to Obama and many leftists of late.

The problem is serious. The HHS is the regulator of Johnson & Johnson, a company held by the Robert Wood Johnson company. Sebelius is going to this company asking them for money--a company she can make trouble for via an HHS audit--and it places them in a peculiar situation. Worse, it's illegal for Sebelius to do it in the first place because it's an obvious conflict of interest. It isn't like other instruments of government have tried to make trouble for conservative groups, right? Oh wait, I forgot about the IRS and what they are doing with the Tea Party organizations applying for 501(c) 3 status; after years, they're still waiting while all of the Democratic affiliated organizations got their status. 

But I digress.

We all know Obamacare is a mess; Sebelius has a big load on her plate (picture what I'm saying here) and now she even has to defend why Obamacare enrollees have no avenue of appeal regarding unfavorable health care determinations. Maybe the administration will say "It only impacts a very small portion of the huge population enrolled in the program," implying that 22,000 people don't count all that much, but it also shows a lack of clarity in the planning of this "law." 

I watch Fox News and I hear a lot of Republicans complaining. That seems to be our national sport. What are we going to do about it, our lawmakers, that is? It's time to do something about this lawless president but congress needs to act.

Militant Mosque People and POTUS

They are having one hell of a Muslim protest in Cairo today. The Muslim Brotherhood supporters are calling for the "Day of Rage" to become the "Week of Pissed-offness." And why not? Muslims love death more than normal people love life. And why shouldn't they--their lives are filled with marathon prayers, their women look like potato sacks on legs, and they stone each other for any slight they might show toward the religion of, heh-heh, peace. And worst of all, today is the 36th anniversary of the King's demise. Yes, Elvis has been out of the building for 36 years today. Hard to believe.

But I digress.

Everything is Our Fault, Not Obama's

The sequester, while it was the brain child of Barack Hussein Obama, is not his fault. It is the fault of Republicans because, well, it just is, so there you go. Because of the cutbacks ordered by the sequester, the Blue Angels, the Navy's precision flying team, cannot perform, the White House cannot remain open for public tours, cancer patients cannot get the chemotherapy drugs they need and might therefore die, over a million federal workers will have to take unpaid furloughs, and James Clapper, the Director of Intelligence, warned that the sequester will leave us more vulnerable to terrorism. (I used to think that our not calling it Islamic terrorism or identifying the real cause of terrorism made us more vulnerable to it). 

In fact, due to the sequester, all fun things you can think of that is under the auspices of the federal government is cancelled until we on the right of Obama's leftists, give in to his demands.  What's next, flushing toilets? But what isn't next are Obama vacations and golfing, and Biden spending about half a million dollars a day for his hotel stays with his staff.


Benghazi was not the fault of Obama--he was too busy with other matters when he heard about the attack. It was the fault of that video guy--you know, the guy who made that horribly accurate, albeit crummy video, about the prophet of Islam . . . you know who I'm talking about . . . starts with the letter M, but if you say his name without adding some Arabic mumbo jumbo, you might get killed on YouTube. So Benghazi definitely wasn't Obama's fault--he went back to sleep knowing he had people that would handle it. You can't hold someone responsible for something that happened when they were asleep when it happened.

Solyndra, that solar panel company that went bankrupt after Obama gave them hundreds of millions of our tax dollars, wasn't his fault. It was our money so it must be our fault--simple math.

Fast and Furious, where our government supplied guns to Mexican drug cartels, wasn't Obama's fault, nor was it the fault of Eric Holder, the head of the DoJ. You remember Holder, he's the man who did nothing to indict the New Black Panthers for keeping white voters away from the polling place in Philadelphia. No, Fast and Furious was something that George W. Bush did first, (although not the same way, nor did the guns walk away, but that doesn't count), and GW is a Republican, so it's the fault of the GOP--not the fault of Obama. It's never his fault because rock stars can do no wrong.

The economy is definitely not Obama's fault. He has only been president for a little over one term and it takes a long time to straighten out what that guy, George W. Bush did to this country. The unemployment numbers have improved if you don't count those losers who gave up looking for a job, and if push comes to shove, Obama can just print more money. The only problem is that we may soon run out of material to make the actual physical money: linen and cotton; but maybe if that happens, we can just go to paper until we run out of trees.


The Chevy Volt gets a couple of miles on an overnight charge, and less if you're in a hurry. But don't blame Obama for saving GM, blame us for not buying the car that is so green it will save the planet (if you don't count the fact that the electricity it takes to charge it comes from generators that run on coal and other fuels that aren't so green).

Obamacare isn't Obama's fault, he says, and nobody can challenge that claim because nobody fully understands it. Just don't get sick.

Putting a Hole in the Sinking Ship to Let the Water Out

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." Thomas Jefferson

With sequestration here and our leaders seemingly clueless as to how we can cut spending, I have a few ideas, some lifted from minds more brilliant than Obama's, (which, in order to be more brilliant than him, is referred to in India as a "left hand job"), and I have a few of my own. If you have some thoughts you feel might stem the gushing of government spending that you believe might help, please feel free to comment. If you are a liberal and even so much as mention George W. Bush in your comment, please feel free to remove your head from your anatomy south of your waist and get real.

First of all, we need to stop government funding of loser companies such as Solyndra and Sun Power Solar Panels. They suck the sunlight to produce energy, but at a cost higher than they can recover in profit. If this sounds like the US Postal Service's methods of operating, you're on the right track. And speaking of the USPS, there are literally thousands of postal workers who have no work to do and sit on their butts all day collecting a salary. No wonder it's going bust. I say get rid of these useless positions  by putting the workers where they can be most useful--in military bases as civilian employees or in the military as patriots.

Next, we must stop giving Obama-supporting companies, or any politically involved company for that matter, tax breaks. According to Wikipedia, Facebook netted $5.1 billion in profits in 2012 and yet they paid no taxes. To put icing on the vomit in your mouth, they received a tax refund of $429 million, according to the Daily Mail Online, Citizens for Tax Justice, and MSN Money. Is it just me, or does this seem a bit unfair to Joe the Taxpayer who's paying an additional two grand per year, on average? Let's face it, Facebook isn't totally kosher (forgive me Mark Z.), when it comes to keeping their customer's identity private. They agreed to settle with the US Trade Commission in 2011 on this matter.

I believe the president should take vacations along with his First Squeeze. I honestly don`t hold anything against that. But when a POTUS talks about tightening the belt, and then jets off on separate jets from his wife, that`s just wasteful and hypocritical. If W. did it with Laura, Chris Matthews would have a conniption. They say Obama`s trips to Hawaii alone, since becoming monarch, has totalled over $20 million. If he and the family didn't wander off so far on vacation, they could save us a fortune by taking the helicopter as opposed to Air Force One, which costs about $180 thousand an hour to operate.

Then there`s the GSA and their elaborate parties. They got to party in Vegas, baby, last year, and the taxpayer got to pay the bill of $823 thousand. Nancy Pelosi`s airborne parties didn`t even cost the taxpayer that much, although the booze flowed like Niagara Falls at her parties too. The MSM forgot to cover that little fact.

Emily Goff of The Foundry cites ten examples of wasteful federal spending and poor investing, which I will outline, but you can read her entire article if you click here

1. A reality TV show in India
2. An EPA grant awarded to China (because they need the money) for $1.2 million to study pig poop.
3. Amtrak, a government subsidized company, that lost $833.8 million in a ten year period over its food and drinks for customers.
4. US Navy purchase of 450 thousand gallons of biofuel at a cost of $12 million, or in brain friendlier terms, $27 per gallon. What's it going to be next, algae aircraft?
5. A total of 1832 conferences between 2008 and 2009 at a cost of $121 million. And what did these government workers learn about running a business on our tax money? Zero. Zilch. Nada.
6. "Robo Squirrel" where $325 thousand was spent on the development of a robotic squirrel in order to learn how rattlesnakes don't like them so much. I could have told that to the National Science Foundation myself and saved us all some money.
7. $2 million on Cupcake small business shops. Don't ask; read Goff's article.
8. Food Stamp waste. Yes, believe it or not, some people on Food Stamps don't just use them for food wholesome anymore--they buy alcohol, junk food, sugary drinks, and some person has even used the SNAP program to buy an exotic dancer, and didn't even get a lap dance in the process.
9. Beer brewing in New Hampshire. I guess if it's good enough to brew beer on our dime in the White House, why not New Hampshire?
10. A "Bridge to Nowhere." Yes, we taxpayers have paid $520 thousand to pay for the Stevenson Road Covered Bridge in Green County, Ohio. (Now you know why it's called Green County). The bridge was last used in 2003--do you see my point?

While all the wasted money I've cited above is merely a wiz in the ocean, it still shows how we need to look more closely, much more closely, at how we allow the government to spend our money. In a very short time, our deficit is going to reach $17 trillion. It takes over half a million years to count that high at one number per second. Even if you count fast, you're not going to make it to the end. Will we?

More On Fast and Furious

This is a story that doesn't go away--kind of like the unwashed on Occupy Wall Street. Fast and Furious, the gun walking screwup that allowed guns to cross into Mexico from the USA and get into the hands of the drug cartels. Eric Holder, the Attorney General at the Department of Justice (DoJ) has finally been supoenaed and being put on the hotseat for this incredibly stupid tactic.

Go ahead, pull my finger
Barack Hussein Obama has claimed that Holder is innocent, as is he, in the Fast and Fuirious scandal. In fact, when Obama was first asked about the scandal, he couldn't remember Eric Holder's name--and who can blame him? Our president comes into contact with literally hundreds of people each day, so how can we expect him to remember someone he appointed to such an unimportant position like Attorney General? Why should he remember someone who he has hung out with and probably played a few rounds of golf with, as he has with hundreds of people every day? Obama has enough problems with his jobs plan and things like Solyndra and now another solar energy company called Sun Power     that has received $1.2 billion to keep it afloat but is now having its own problems. Obama certainly doesn't need Fast and Furious up his butt like a thistle in a briar patch.


Darrell Issa
But Rep. Darrell Issa, (R-Calif.)  the Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman, is not going to let Fast and Furious simply go away. This may turn out to be Holder's Waterloo, or it may do even more damage to the present administration; we shall see. Issa believes that Holder is not being forthcoming with information on the botched scheme, and that he was not being 'candid' when he said that he only knew of the operation a few weeks ago (in his testimony last May). This has been shown to be less than the truth--some might even say that something less than the truth is a lie, but we don't say that about politicians. They're very sensitive to being called liars--they get it all the time.

Bob Beckel Bites it Big

Bob Beckel irks me. I understand and agree with the concept of fair and balanced reporting in the media, and to be quite honest, it seems that Fox News is the only mainstream media that actually practices fairness. The GOP debate, with that leftist Brian "Even My Chin Leans to the Left Williams," was a libtard farce that the GOP had no business engaging in. MSNBC is not a news agency and Brian Williams is not a journalist. 

But Big Bob Beckel? He's an idiot--an arrogant idiot. To hear him defend Obama's disassociation of our alliance with Israel is totally disgusting. To hear him speak of Obama's performance as if he has no responsibility for the debt, the unemployment, the discontent in this country, is just too much to stomach anymore.


I will continue to watch Fox News--but I will not watch The Five until they replace Beckel with someone who is less arrogant and who actually knows what he is talking about. The next thing I would expect this blowhard to say is that Solyndra is Bush's fault because the financial assistance proposal was given to Bush-but the liberals always fail to mention that the proposal was roundly refused support--they knew way back then that it was a bad investment and "not ready for prime time."
