FILE THIS ONE UNDER ‘A’ FOR…ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL!!!

Just when I thought I’ve heard everything from our stellar members of Congress, along comes one of those folks to prove me wrong. And in a big way. Because at a time when my daughter spends far more time in school, roughly 180 days, than do members of Congress actually spend at work, some seem to think themselves underpaid. Now keep in mind that these supposed servants of the people now bring in $174,000 a year, plus some pretty impressive benefits. But according Rep. Jim Moran, a Democrat who’s finally retiring after 23 years, that's simply not enough. He’s kidding, right? Apparently not, he’s dead serious!

So it was then, that in a recent interview this boob said that members need bigger paychecks because, he said, they have to maintain two residences, one in their home district, and one in Washington. He said, "I think the American people should know that the members of Congress are underpaid." He went on to say, "I understand that it's widely felt that they underperform, but the fact is that this is the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world." Right, and if these people were to perform the same way in the private sector as they have in the public sector, every damn one of them would have been fired a long time ago!

Moran made note of the fact that some members live out of their offices to save money while others have little apartment units. He said, "Our pay has been frozen for three years and we're planning on freezing it a fourth year." Congressional salaries have not seen a bump since 2009, and yet we continue to have quite a number of folks who have managed quite well, having no trouble at all in being able to increase their net worth substantially since first being elected. Moran says he'll bring up the issue in an amendment to a bill to garner attention to the issue, but he assumes it will not pass. I dare them to try sneaking that one past us!

It was the host of "Face The Nation", senile old Bob Schieffer who was apparently in complete agreement with Moran, although he did have a slightly different take on things. While saying he thinks that congressional pay needs a "complete overhaul," he also said, "I propose that they be paid by the hour, just like most government workers." He added, "But they would only be paid while they're legislating." And then we had that doofus, David Gregory, the host of "Meet the Press, who said, "When Congress does so little, as it's done in this Congress ... you're not going to get a lot of sympathy." They don’t deserve what they’re getting now.

As far as I’m concerned these folks are considerably overpaid for the amount of actual work that they perform. Actually how things ought to operate is for these people to have some sort of a fulltime job that’s outside of government with their position in Congress either being performed for free or for some very nominal salary. Being in Congress should not be their only source of income nor their only employment. Or how about this, perhaps if these clones were once again to actually start working for the people and not solely for themselves and if, say, they were to agree to term limits, then we might be in favor of at least ‘considering’ a raise.

But you know, it’s not just members of Congress who are grossly overpaid for the amount of work they don’t do. Something else that REALLY pisses me off is the fact that our waste-of–skin president is making $400 grand, plus plenty of lavish perks, every single year. And it seems like all we’re paying this dumbass to do is to: go on family vacations, ruin our economy, seize control of our healthcare, jet around to fundraisers, gut our military, balloon the size of our government, bankrupt our country, and make America the laughing stock of the entire world. So we’re paying this guy nearly half a million bucks a year to destroy our country?

OBAMA’S NAMESAKE ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE POPULAR THAN HE IS…

Well, while Barry may be none to happy with the Republican’s new budget, and be quite pleased with himself in referring to it as being a "stinkburger", it seems that, at least according to another new poll, more than half of the American people still oppose Barry’s own version of a ‘shit-sandwich’, Obamacare. And it was this same poll that also showed support for Barry’s disaster of a healthcare law is only slightly higher than his own job approval rating. And yet he’s been walking around patting himself on the back because, supposedly, 7 million folks signed up for his own ‘shit-sandwich’.

So it is then that according to a National Public Radio (NPR) poll, not a right leaning group by any stretch of the imagination, conducted March 19-23 of 840 likely voters, 51 percent oppose Obamacare, including 40 percent who strongly oppose it. This compares to 47 percent who support the new healthcare law, of which 28 percent say they strongly favor it. By comparison, Barry's job approval rating is 46 percent, while 51 percent disapprove. Of those who disapprove, 41 percent say they strongly disapprove, compared to 24 percent who strongly support the president.

The pollsters, a duo of which one is a Republican and one is a Democrat, have some rather differing views when it comes to what the data may actually suggest in terms of what impact these views on Obamacare might have regarding Democrats chances in the 2014 midterm elections. "The conventional wisdom that it's an unpopular program that hangs around the necks of Democrats is absolutely a misreading of the poll data," Democrat Stan Greenberg, one of the pollsters, said. Greenberg said that 7 percent of likely voters oppose the law because it doesn't go far enough.

Whit Ayres, the Republican pollster who worked on the survey, however, said the data suggests that Obamacare will still be a great issue for Republicans this fall. He said, "First, more people oppose than support Obamacare, as has been the case since it passed. Second, the intensity is on the side of opposition, and intensity drives voting behavior. Third, independents oppose Obamacare by 21 points in this survey and they hold the balance of power in this election." So what we have here are differing opinions, but as is always the case, opinions are lke assholes, everyone has one.

Personally speaking, I’m hoping that everyone who got screwed over, and continues to get screwed over, by this ‘shit-sandwich’ that is Obamacare, as I did, are as pissed off as I am about it, and stay pissed off until the next November. And every one of those sons-of-bitches who voted for this thing need to be gotten rid of. And another thing, how is it in any way fair for them to be able to escape what we are forced to contend with? Every one of them got a waiver so they don’t have to deal with it, while the rest of us get screwed. We need to send a message this November!

OBAMA, CREATOR OF THE ORIGINAL “STINKBURGER”…

In having been nothing more than a community agitator, and as president having such things like a blatantly bogus economic ‘stimulus’ bill and Obamacare, as well as any number of other policies that have failed miserably, firmly under his belt, I’d say this turd of a president that we’ve saddled ourselves with knows more than a thing or two about "stinkburgers’. So it was then that when Barry compared the new Republican budget plan unveiled by Rep. Paul Ryan earlier this week to a "stinkburger" and a "meanwich", during a speech Wednesday afternoon in Michigan, he knew much about of which he spoke.

Referencing his own trip earlier in the day to what I guess was some local deli there in Ann Arbor, Barry, performing at his presidential best, offered up some suggestions for the name of the GOP budget plan. Barry said, "If they tried to sell this sandwich at Zingerman's they'd have to call it the Stinkburger or the Meanwich." Barry's trip to Michigan provided to him a chance to promote another "stinkburger" of his, which is his plan to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10. Barry once again seemed to be in campaign mode, as he repeatedly attacked Republicans during his speech at the University of Michigan.

A spokesman for the House Budget Committee said he didn't want to offer a response. Let’s face it, when the guy who is your president insists upon acting like some idiotic punk fresh out of high school, how are you, as an adult, supposed to respond. I mean seriously. You have the guy who’s our president, out on what appears to be a never ending campaign trail, spewing all kinds of idiotic bullshit to a bunch of brainwashed college students. Students with college loans who, I would hope, would expect to earn more than 10 bucks an hour, if they are lucky enough to find a job in what has now become Barry’s economy.

Barry’s campaign-style trip came at a time when both Republicans and Democrats have been attempting to draw contrasts with each other's economic approaches in an election year. Ryan said his budget would cut $5.1 trillion in government spending over the next 10 years and he claims his plan would balance the U.S. books over that same period. Now whether you favor or oppose Ryan’s budget, there is simply no excuse for Barry’s juvenile behavior. But having said that, this type of spoiled-brat mentality from Barry is really nothing new. We’ve seen it many times over the course of the last 5 plus years.

Barry "Almighty" said House Republicans' new budget proposal and coming attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act "should be familiar because it was their economic plan in the 2012 campaign. It was their economic plan in 2010." He added, in making a reference to that old Bill Murray film, "It's like that movie 'Groundhog Day.'" Adding, "Except it's not funny." Actually what’s "not funny" is the fact that I, like millions of other Americans, have been made to lose our insurance in favor of being forced to accept something that’s far more costly. Now that’s what I call a real "stinkburger." Actually, it’s more of a shit sandwich.

Coincidentally, or not, Barry’s trip to Michigan came one day after the White House claimed that 7.1 million people had enrolled in insurance plans under Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act. He said the numbers were enough to fill up the "Big House" — the university's football stadium, 65 times. Of course what he failed to mention his own "stinkburger", which is the fact that over 11 million people have now LOST their health insurance. And I think that for anyone with a brain it should be pretty obvious that the claim of gotten 7.1 million people to sign up is nothing more than another example of Barry & Co. propaganda.

After watching this administration for the last five years, just how stupid does one need to be to believe anything any of these people, including Barry, say? But be that as it may, it continues to be trumpeted and very loudly so by most of the stooges in our state-controlled media complex! Just for the sake of argument let’s assume that they’re telling us the, however unlikely, as I mentioned before what about the millions of folks whose insurance coverage was terminated, because of Obamacare. Anyone think they care that 7.1 million people have supposedly signed up for Barry’s "stinkburger?" I’m thinking they don’t. It’s all a lie anyway.

Yet oddly enough, with this little announcement of Barry’s, some Democrats now seem confident in that they have now at least slowed the bleeding. "It’s changing. If you’ve been around awhile, and I’ve been around awhile, you can sense it," said ‘Little Dick’ Durbin, who’s also the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate. "You’re not going to turn away seven or 10 million people from insurance coverage — doesn’t work anymore." I’m not quite getting the logic here. I just don’t see why, exactly, those who no longer have insurance should somehow feel better because of Barry’s claim to have people signed up to Obamacare.

ISN’T IT A SHAME…



Isn’t it a shame what we’ve allowed to be done to our country? I sometimes wonder if we’ve lasted as long as the Founders’ thought we would, or perhaps not quite as long as they had hoped. But either way, I’m quite sure if they were able to see what it is that we have done with their legacy, they’d be more than a little disappointed. But probably not very surprised.

Because who it is, what people, other than we Americans, and at any other time in human history, who has ever been provided with something so special, so unique, so incredible, as that which was provided to us? And yet, look at what we have done to what was arguably the greatest gift ever bestowed upon any people. And with nary a moment’s hesitation.

What was given to us was something that was so near to being perfect that it has never been repeated since. And yet somehow we thought we would improve upon it, somehow transform it into something that would be better than the original. But all we’ve really succeeded in doing is to reduce it to something that is today a mere shadow of its former self.

And it would appear that we are not yet finished. We seem to be quite consumed, even possessed, by some perverted desire to relinquish all of our freedom. We seem to be hellbent in our effort to make sure that for future generations the entire concept of freedom will be totally unfamiliar. For those who come after us, the sense of what it means to ‘be’ free will be complete foreign.

And while I suppose we can deny having any responsibility, claiming that it really wasn’t ‘We the People’ who can said to be in anyway at fault, but instead our corrupt leaders, who was it, if it wasn’t us, who put those people into their positions? And yet when we do recognize what it is that they are doing and that they are up to no good, do we try to stop them?

No, we continue to reelect them time after time, because they say if we do there just might be something in it for us. Oh, there has been something in it for us, all right. But nothing that resembles anything that we might have been expecting. We have continued to willingly forfeit more and more of our liberty, and in exchange for what, exactly? Sadly, we’ve come pretty cheaply.

All it has ever taken for us to hand over more of our freedoms, is to be told by our overseers that they’ll take care of us. They’ll make all of those pesky decisions about how we live our lives so we don’t have to be bothered with such trivial things. And now here we sit. In the age of Obama, that time which some might call the culmination of all that has come before it.

Our country, that once proud and noble nation, once looked upon as being the shining city on the hill, has now been made destitute. Those traits once possessed by men and women who were proud to referred to themselves as being American, have been long forgotten. Once upon a time we looked forward to a hard day’s work, these days we’d rather do anything than work.

So the fact that our country has been allowed to waste away is no one’s fault but ours, We the People. We have done this to ourselves and I fear there is very little chance that, even if we wanted to, we’d have much chance of ever returning America to her former greatness. It’s all such a tragedy. At this point in time I’m afraid we can only imagine what might have been.

OBAMA, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL???

Obviously a legend in his own mind, and speaking as if he really is the dictator that he wishes that he were, it was yesterday that Barry "Almighty" defiantly declared that the debate on Obamacare is now officially over, and he won. Now that may be the way that this lying-sack-of-shit, and his many parasitic supports, may view things, but once again, and as is usually the case with this guy, it’s nowhere near being a fact. The numbers on which he bases his very proud declaration are very clearly bogus. They have already been shown to be nothing more than yet another work of pure fiction.

But that didn’t stop Barry from declaring, "The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay. ... In the end, history is not kind to those who would deny Americans their basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America’s progress or our people. And that’s what the Affordable Care Act represents. As messy as it’s been sometimes, as contentious as it’s been sometimes, it is progress." Barry is, without a doubt, the most despicable individual to ever hold his present office.

So the question that must now be asked is, what Republican will stand up today and say something like this: "No, Mr. President. No way, Mr. President. We do not accept, we do not acquiesce in, this deplorable piece of legislation. The debate is not over. The debate will continue. It must continue. What is at stake is sound health care policy for America. But what is also at stake is reversing your attempt, Mr. President, to transform a free country committed to limited government into merely another nation burdened with the worst aspects of big-government nanny-statism."

And who is it among the Republicans who will now step forward and say, "Mr. President, you have been elected our 44th president. We of course accept that, and we understand that you will continue to fight for your legislation and threaten to veto attempts to repeal and replace it. But we do not accept that you get to decide that the debate is over. We do not accept that you acquire any moral authority by claiming to enlist "history" on your side. We do not accept that your attempt to expand welfare state at the expense of individual liberty and the rule of law is true "progress.""

Because Barry, while you might wish the debate were over, I’m here to tell you that it most certainly is not. Not by a long shot. Now you might even think that you can intimidate us into conceding the debate is over but again you’d be wrong, dead wrong. The Republican Party stands committed, acting through democratic means and as the agent of a self-governing people, to repealing and replacing this debacle that has come to bear your name, this Obamacare. And I hate to be the one to have to break it to you, but just because you say it, that doesn’t make it so.

MARCIA FUDGE…MORON, RACIST AND OF COURSE…A DEMOCRAT…

Marcia Fudge, who besides being another dingbat Democrat, is obviously, as is Corrine Brown, Jimmy Clyburn, Maxine Waters or Elijah Cummings, one of those blacks who apparently see a racist hiding around nearly every corner. And it’s according to this genius that recent changes regarding voting in Ohio are just plain "racist." These black politicians absolutely kill me. There seems to be no lengths to which they will not go in their effort to make it appear as if racism in American remains very much a live and well. What racism there is that does exist in America today comes primarily from blacks and is directed against whites.

But anyway, it was during some interview that this moron gave to WKYC-TV last week that this supposed responsible member of Congress said, "I believe, personally, that a lot of this really is racist. I believe that. They cannot make me believe that they do not understand how important the right to vote is to me and people like me." She went on to say, "Ohio has become the butt of jokes – even in Washington. Because our governor and our legislature are doing everything they can to prevent certain constituencies from voting. Poor people, minorities, the elderly, the disabled – and they are doing it knowingly."

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced that early voting hours across the state during Ohio’s four-week early-voting period, will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on weekdays. Voters will also be able to cast an absentee ballot in person during the last two Saturdays before the election between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. No Sundays are offered. In a press release Husted says the adoption of the new times comes from a bipartisan proposal from elections officials. Democrats, as they usually are, have been critical of the early voting schedule and two other recent changes to Ohio voting. They always take it personal.

Two new laws that make changes in regards to the mailing of absentee ballots and cutting six days from Ohio's early, in-person voting period were signed by Governor John Kasich, a Republican, last month. They are to take effect for the November election. The six early days eliminated are part of what was called the "golden week" in the Buckeye state where voters could both register and then cast an in-person absentee ballot. State election officials recommended the period be eliminated to create a break between when voters can register and cast ballots. And when you think about it, that only makes sense.

The other law prohibits individual county boards of election from sending out unsolicited absentee ballot applications. It instead makes the sending of absentee ballots uniform. Giving the Ohio secretary of state the responsibility to send them out on a statewide level, if voters appropriate money to pay for it. Those in support of the law say, that previously voters were being treated differently, as each county had different standards as to when they sent out the absentee ballot applications. Despite what leftwing loons, like our esteemed Ms. Fudge, would like people to think, there’s nothing about these changes that have anything to do with race.

Personally, I’m one of those folks who thinks that everyone should vote on Election Day. So I guess in the eyes of Ms. Fudge, that would somehow make me a racist. Voting is the most important right that we have. It’s not something that should be spread out over time in such a way as to make it easy for Democrats to vote more than once. And let’s face it, who else but a Democrat would be found doing such a thing. Strangely, it’s just all one big joke for these people. And what they do in trying to corrupt the system, is to demonstrate the level of disrespect they have not only for the rest of us, but for their country as well. I find them disgusting!

‘LITTLE DICK’ DURBIN SLAMS FREE ENTERPRISE…

In a speech made on the Senate floor, on Tuesday, it was everyone’s favorite boob and the guy who represents ‘The People’s Republic of Illinois, ‘Little Dick’ Durbin, who actually made the claim that free enterprise isn't always best, and that sometimes the government must step in. "The free enterprise system is a strong system," he said, but it "created unfairness and injustice when it came to health care, which we are addressing with this Affordable Care Act." That’s quite a bold claim that ‘Little Dick’ put’s forward, but that is far from what’s actually being implemented with respect to this horrible law.

In passing that law, ‘Little Dick’ claimed that Democrats "rejected the free enterprise approach to health care and said let's have something that basically respects families." In other words, a system that dictates the ONLY options that you may have when it comes to deciding how best to address whatever malady you, or a loved one, may become afflicted with. And of course in what I can only assume was yet another attempt by Dick to somehow defend Obamacare, he criticized Republicans for embracing free enterprise solutions. How dare they, since it’s socialist ideas that always work out so much better. NOT!

"Let me tell you a free enterprise idea when it came to health care. Before the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the free enterprise idea was this: If you were unfortunate enough in your family to have a sick baby; if your wife was a cancer survivor; if your child had diabetes, the free enterprise answer was, we will raise the cost of health insurance to the point where you can't afford it or we won't even offer it." What must it be like to be someone like ‘Little Dick?" To be able to so coldly lie to the American people while at the same time busily plotting against them behind their backs.

In his further attempt to slander our free enterprise system, ‘Little Dick’ claimed that another solution often touted by supporters of that system, was to sell insurance policies that offered limited protection and sent families into bankruptcy. He said, "That was free enterprise at work." ‘Little Dick’ went on to say, "What we said -- let's put some sensible rules of the road in here...so we passed the Affordable Care Act, and not a single Republican -- not one, not a single Republican -- would join us in that effort." I find it difficult to believe how anyone can take this asshole seriously.

Dick continued on with his drivel, saying, "The free enterprise system is the best system in the world, but there are moments when we need to step in as an American family, set some standards, set some goals." That ‘Little Dick’ would actually presume that the inserting of the government into the private lives of the American people somehow equates to us all being members of the same American family, borders on insanity. I’m not sure that would be a family I would want to be a part of. I don’t want to be the member of a family where I’m given just one option regarding medical treatment.

Dick admitted that Obamacare, aka Affordable Care Act, is not perfect and changes will have to be made --"but not a single Republican has been willing to sit down and work on bipartisan compromises and changes, not one. It's take it or leave it. And they want to walk away from it. And we're not going back to those old days." Remember now, back when this debacle was first being drafted outside ideas were neither solicited, nor accepted, from the Republicans. And it is that mindset that continues today regarding any potential fixes. Democrats remain completely uninterested in any Republican ideas.

DEMOCRATS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO CHEAT…

It would appear that the Democrats are becoming increasingly unnerved, to put it mildly, regarding their prospects of being able to avoid what is very likely to be, for them this November, an electoral massacre. I always view it as being a bit juvenile, whenever I hear some Democrat National Committee (DNC) malcontent describe something as being "undemocratic." And usually for no other reason than because it’s something that does not, in some way, benefit the Democrat Party. Because, you see, to Democrats, all things must be made to benefit Democrats.

So it was then that we recently heard from someone identified as being a spokesmoron for the DNC, some clone by the name of Mo Elleithee, who told reporters on a conference call, "We believe that we should expand democracy -- that expanding democracy is good for the nation; it is good for our party." It was during this same call that this boob attacked, as being "undemocratic", many of the Republican voter ID laws and other state-level election laws. I guess he’s somehow concerned that this may, in some way, be a concerted effort to disenfranchise the dead.

Anyway it was also during this call that those under the employ of the DNC offered up a number of idiotic platitudes about the importance of voting, which was scheduled, coincidentally I’m quite sure, at the same time as a recent New York Times story on Republican-supported election laws. But strangely enough, they kept slipping up and mentioning their ulterior concern. That being, their concern over what is likely to be a relatively low voter turnout for them. "The fundamental notion is that lower turnout means that we'll lose, and so we've got to drive it up as much as possible," Elleithee said.

And then we have Maggie Toulouse Oliver, a Democrat candidate for New Mexico Secretary of State, who explained that she believes telling voters that Republicans are trying to deprive them of the right to vote could prove to motivate Democrat voters to go to the polls later this year. So in other words, Democrats would, as a tactic, simply choose to lie to people in the hopes of providing enough motivation to get their brain-dead, parasitic constituents to go to the polls. It’s unusual to see them being so upfront about such a thing. Usually they’re busy accusing the other side of doing all the lying.

It was in referring to a list of people whose voting eligibility was questioned by the state government that Maggie said that "those individuals in particular are going to be targeted by me or by other campaigns saying, you know, 'Did you know that your right to vote was almost taken away?'" Now to me what that tells me is that old Maggie, here, is nothing but a soulless hag who possesses zero character. But in trying to motivate Democrats such a flaw most likely works to her advantage. After all, such things as integrity and honesty aren’t attributes that those who regularly vote Democrat look for in a candidate.

Maggie went on to say, "I think actually, what could end up happening is that what happens as a result of these efforts, that these efforts completely backfire, especially with the Hispanic and Latino community, and that especially we could see increased and improved turnout as a result of that, in response to that." I suppose this is the kind of stuff that we can soon expect to be inundated with. And as the November election inches closer the level of rhetoric will also intensify. Democrats will be pulling out all the stops in their attempt to distract attention away from such things as Obamacare.

But all of this behavior does expose the Democrats for what they really are, as well as the lengths they are willing to go in their effort to hoodwink the American people, even if it’s no longer than just long enough for them to get elected. But again, most of those who vote for this scum simply don’t care about the tactics employed by those for whom they vote. All that’s really important to these people is that their free ride be maintained at all costs. What going to motivate these people to vote for one candidate over another rests solely on whether or not that candidate promises to keep the gravy train going. That’s where we are today.

THE OBAMACARE SPIN MACHINE GOES INTO OVERDRIVE…

Yes my friends, there was much celebrating going on over at the White House because, even though the final healthcare.gov enrollment numbers are, supposedly, not yet known, Barry & Co. felt optimistic enough to claim success in implementing Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act. "We're achieving something today that has our critics gnashing their teeth," White House spokesmoron Jay Carney somewhat boldly proclaimed to reporters on Monday. But I would argue that that claim is more likely an example of their wishful thinking that it is an actual statement of fact.

Because, other than the word of scumbags like Carney, what do we really have to go on that would indicate that they have been anywhere near as successful as they claim. But that didn’t stop Carney from saying, "More than 6 million people have signed up." He then went on to say, "No one expected us to come back from the brink or to surpass the revised CBO projection that 6 million consumers would sign up in year one, but we have. And I think that merits noting in your reports." But seriously folks, I think the days of us being able to believe anything that anyone from this administration says, are long gone.

Carney also said, "And it will be very hard for Republicans and other critics to make the argument that a better world would be a world in which all those millions of Americans didn't have health insurance, didn't have protections against being denied coverage because they have a pre-existing condition, didn't have the ability to keep their kids, their adult children, on their insurance policies till age 26, didn't have the discounts that seniors get through the Affordable Care Act and all the preventive care measures through the Affordable Care Act." This is all nothing more than Carney’s attempt to put lipstick on a pig.

Carney said, "That's a tough argument, I would think, to make, except when you're preaching to a choir that's opposed to ACA regardless of what you say about the benefits." Carney said it would be better for Republicans to acknowledge that the law is here to stay, and again claimed that the Republicans have failed to produce an alternative plan that doesn't take away the benefits people already are getting. That’s nothing but one more lie on what has become a very long list of many that we hear from Democrats whenever the topic of discussion is Obamacare. And many more will likely be told over the next few months.

And while the White House announced that Obamacare had hit its March 31 objective, and four days ahead of schedule, sadly, it’s doubtful that we can believe much of anything of what we’re now being told. Barry & Co. tout the fact that more than 6 million Americans have now signed up for coverage through new insurance markets. The initial goal of 7 million enrollees was revised downward by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in February, a move that was embraced by the White House. But still, we have absolutely no idea how many people have really signed up for this thing.

Because the truth, as is usually the case whenever dealing with this, what was supposed to be the most transparent administration in our history, is pretty far removed from what we’re now expected to believe. And here’s where the ambiguity begins:

1. The administration has yet to announce how many "enrollees" have paid their first month’s premium. Some independent estimates say that as many as 10 percent to 20 percent have not paid, which would bring the real enrollment number down to between 5 million and 6 million people.

2. Of the 3.3 million people that the White House said had "signed up" through January, less than 500,000 were uninsured people who actually gained new healthcare coverage, according to McKinsey, a leading management consulting firm.

3. The White House counts Medicaid enrollees in its numbers. Through December, between 1 and 2 million ObamaCare enrollees actually signed up for Medicaid vs. health insurance.

4. Moreover, when states report Medicaid enrollment data to the federal government, they don’t break down the number between the "gained Medicaid because of Obamacare" population and the "would have gotten Medicaid anyway" group.

So while Barry & Co. are now busy patting themselves on the back for being able to hit what was nothing more than a revised goal, many questions still remain as to the bottom-line, actual number of people who have actually gained healthcare coverage exclusively because of ObamaCare. And I’m quite sure that as we move ever closer to the midterm elections, with many ‘experts’ claiming that Obamacare fallout is likely to have a significant impact on the result, we will likely continue to hear, from Democrats, all manner of exaggerated claims being made in an effort to keep electoral damage to a minimum.

TOO BAD, SO SAD…DEMOCRATS HAVE EVEN LESS REASON TO BE OPTIMISTIC…

So it would seem that the electoral prospects for Democrats, at least as far as they may be related to this November’s midterm elections, continue to be more than a bit on the gloomy side. Because even after taking into consideration the outright hostility the majority of voters feel toward Obamacare, according to Andrew Kohut, founding director of the Pew Research Center, Democrat chances at electoral success are further hampered by the fact that the party is now losing ground not only among whites, but also those under 34, and independent voters.

Oddly enough there are surveys which are said to show that the public actually thinks that Republicans have fewer solutions when it comes to healthcare, than do the Democrats, and Republicans somehow manage only a four-point lead on handling the economy. Moreover, the Republican Party is said to have a 59 percent unfavorable rating, and the Tea Party is almost twice as unpopular today as it was in 2010. Nevertheless, polls still show the GOP stands a better chance of coming out ahead in the midterm elections, at least according to Mr. Kohut.

While Republican voters are more enthusiastic about their party and exhibit a higher voter participation rate, Democrats, who are said to possess a 48 percent unfavorable rating, are losing support among some of their key demographic groups. These days we’re told that Independent voters tend to lean Republican by 44 percent to 38 percent. And even though Barry "Almighty" failed to carry the independent vote in the 2012 presidential elections most so-called Independents that I know tend to lean more so to the left and to the right.

And it’s according to Mr. Kohut that about 80 percent of the midterm electorate is expected to be white. Democrats trail Republicans in white support 53 percent to 38 percent. And apparently Democrats are also losing backing among millennials. Identification with the Democrats now stands at 50 percent, which is down from 58 percent in 2009. Barry's unpopularity "is probably the greatest problem for Democrats this year," Kohut says. With a 44 percent approval rating, his standing could prove more than a hindrance to Democrat candidates.

All that said, I continue to be more than just a bit baffled as to why it is that there is so much ill will directed to those of us in the Tea Party. Unless of course, people actually believe all of the drivel about how we are supposed to all be nothing more than just a bunch of racists. I guess I just don’t understand why it is that because we choose to believe in our Constitution and are in favor of lower taxes as well as smaller, much smaller, government, we’re seen as being the villains and the reason the country is in such piss poor shape. But that’s far from being our fault.

I think we can all agree on how it’s a fact that a majority of those who make up the American electorate are far from being the sharpest knife in just about anyone’s drawer. But that’s the way the Democrats like things. Because an ignorant and uninformed voter is far more likely to march out to the polls and vote for any Democrat in any election. To me it only makes sense that if you are truly interested in the survival of your country, that one would want to join ranks with those who identify themselves with the Tea Party and the advancing of those shared ideals and goals.

It would seem to that continuing to teaming up with the Democrats produces nothing more than a losing proposition for all concerned, except, of course, for the Democrat politicians. But far too many of us see it as being somehow advantageous to continue that relationship if for no other reason than because it keeps the freebies coming our way. Too many folks fail to realize that at some point the gravy train, just like Obamacare, is going to come fully off the tracks. And then what? Doesn’t it make more sense to rely on oneself and not on the government?

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE IN THEIR ATTEMPTS TO PUT LIPSTICK ON THE OBAMACARE PIG…

There’s now someone else who, besides Kathleen Sebelius, appears to be demonstrating the fact that he’s smokin’, snortin’ or shootin’ up some pretty potent shit. And so, it now becomes all the more clear that Democrats are now so desperate as to be willing to tell any lie that pops into their head in their attempt to show that Obamacare is anything but the unmitigated disaster that we know it to be. This time around it’s none other than that rather slimy character, David Plouffe. On this the eve of the sign-up deadline for Obamacare, no one who is currently an active member of Barry & Co. seemed to be interested in appearing on any of the Sunday talk shows to urge Americans to enroll. Instead, the discussion was left to past members.

It was the afore mentioned Mr. Plouffe who, in appearing on ABC’s "This Week" with George ‘Stephy’ Stephanopoulos, actually described Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act, as being a "seminal achievement" the "politics" of which will improve over time. He then proceeded to say, and with a straight face no less, "The law's working." And then added, "You're going to have -- by the way, if you count people who are going directly to private insurance companies, Medicaid, children's health care, we're talking well more than 10 million people have health care, tens of millions more have security...This law is working." Which left me wondering just who it was that this guy was actually trying to convince.

This imbecilic dolt went on to claim, "And I think the Republican playbook of just 'repeal Obamacare, repeal Obamacare, repeal Obamacare' gets tougher as more and more people get health care. I think smart Republicans understand that." But the Republican playbook, as this ass puts it, has not been one based solely on the notion of repeal, repeal, repeal. There have been a number of alternate plans that have been put forward and that would serve the American people far better than does this blatant seizure of our healthcare system by our government. And they are plans that would actually reduce costs while not resulting in people being forced, arbitrarily, to lose their current plans, and therefore the doctors, that they like.

And it was Bill Kristol of "The Weekly Standard," whom I seldom agree with, who said, "No actual Democratic senator running for reelection sounds like David Plouffe." Kristol went on to say, "They are not saying this law is working. They're saying, 'Oh my God, we can fix it. Here's some new proposals.' Senator Mark Warner, Mark Begich is out there, unveiled a whole bunch of proposals to, quote, 'fix Obamacare' this week." Speaking as one of those who has already been forced to give up the insurance that I, and my family, had for over12 years and that allowed us all to be able to see the physicians that we liked, the only ‘fix’ for Obamacare is to simply get rid of it entirely, and as soon as we can.

But the Republican-led House will not vote to fix Obamacare, Stephy told his assembled little "Roundtable." To which Kristol responded, "I don't think the Democrat Senate will do it." Adding, "I don't think the Obama administration supports those proposals. They've resisted every attempt to do minor fixes and delays in Obamacare except for the ones they unilaterally decide on." Kristol added that it would be better for Republicans to run on "replace and repeal" rather than "repeal and replace." Kristol also said the polling goes up for Republicans when they talk about keeping Obamacare's tax credits and coverage for pre-existing conditions." There are a few things that could be kept, but for the most part, Obamacare needs to be scrapped.

According to ABC's political analyst Matthew Dowd, the 2014 election won't be about Obamacare at all. He said, "I think in the end, the 2014 election, if you look at the fundamentals of the election, it's not going to be about Obamacare. There's flaws in it, there's successes in it. I think everybody can debate that...But 2014 is about the direction of the country, the economy, and how people feel in their lives. It's not going to be about Obamacare." FLAWS? Dowd actually thinks that the only issue with Obamacare is the correcting of a few flaws? But look, even if you subscribe to this idiot’s logic, it seems rather obvious that our country is headed nowhere but down and the economy sucks.

So it is then that the Democrats, as well as their many media minions, continue to live in what can only be described as being some rather bizarre state of denial. When it comes to such things as the direction of the country, whether seen as being right or wrong, the pathetic state of our economy, and the escalating costs for your average American of simply being able to get by every day, many people don’t view Obamacare as being something that merely possesses a few flaws. And if the Republicans do gain control of the Senate, while keeping control of the House, they will have but a brief 24 months to demonstrate that they possess the willingness to do whatever it is that needs to be done to alter the course we’re now on.

And let there be no doubt that the American people will, most assuredly, be watching. And if not much more happens than what we saw take place after the 2010 elections, the party might as well forget about 2016. Because Obamacare, or no Obamacare, the Republican Party will be finished. And something that does not bode well for anything substantial taking place, is the fact that all three members of our House ‘leadership’ team plan on attending an anti-Tea Party gathering here in Florida next weekend. So I’m afraid that even if the Republicans are successful this November, all that we’re likely to be doing is to delay the inevitable. That point in time when the party simply ceases to remain viable.

BETRAYED YET AGAIN???

Once again we are witness to the kind of behavior that makes it very clear that John Boehner, Eric Cantor nor Kevin McCarthy deserve to be in their current leadership positions in the House. Because the fact is that, apparently, all three have now decided to attend what is nothing more than a gathering sponsored by an anti-tea party group at a Florida Ritz-Carlton next weekend. Also 25 other Republican House members will be joining them. And by so doing, these three scumbags once again demonstrate their willful disregard for the trust that has been placed in them to combat all that Barry and the Democrats seem so determined to inflict upon our country.

This is what’s so frustrating about these ‘Establishment Republicans’. We the People already seem to have so few to whom we can actually turn. And at a time when we could very possibly be on the verge of handing over to the Republicans complete control of the Congress, this is not behavior we should allow to pass for being leadership. It should, instead, be viewed as behavior that stiffens our resolve, making us all the more determined to show up at the polls this November to vote every single one of these bastards out of office. And we can do that by voting for any Tea Party conservative whose name appears on the ballot in opposition to them.

This "Main Street Advocacy" event will take place on Amelia Island in Nassau County in the state's northeast, and will cost $5,000 a person to attend, RedState.com reported.  What this group is, apparently, is an offshoot of the Republican Main Street Partnership which is led by former Ohio Rep. Steve LaTourette, who has said he will help defend center-right congressional members in primary fights with Tea Party candidates. And of this new group he said, "They have decided to systematically go against the center-right Republicans in Primary elections." He went on to say, "Here's the deal — we didn't start this fight, but I'm going to finish it."

Also according to RedState, the Main Street Partnership has received donations from left-leaning unions, George Soros backed organizations, and a major Democrat donor. Such information tells me all I need to know about both these group and the individuals whom they support. Now I’m all for supporting those conservative candidates who have the best chance to win. But the key word here is ‘conservative’. And for far too long we’ve allowed ourselves to believe those who told us that they see things the way we see them, so we would vote for them and they would go back to Washington and act as if we didn’t even exist. That must now stop.

So it is then that these three, nor any of the 25 others, MUST not be allowed to get away with their betrayal completely unscathed. Every one of their constituents who finds themselves in disagreement with the actions of their representative MUST get on the phones and make their opinion known and that our vote is now hanging in the balance. For me, here in Florida’s 4th Congressional District, I’ve been doing my best to drum up support for our Tea Party candidate, Ryman Shoaf. My current congressman is Ander Crenshaw who, while he claims to be a conservative, has done precious little that proves it. We need to get busy!

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BLUE STATE COMMUNISM…

I feel fairly confident in now declaring that after having been able to escape one many years ago, I will never, ever, again reside in any state considered to be Blue. From declaring themselves ‘sanctuaries" for illegal aliens, to their penchant for gun control and now quite possibly the moving forward in their quest to drive small business owners to either reduce their number of employees, or completely out of business, by forcing them to pay what is an unreasonable ‘minimum wage, Democrats are slowly making their states uninhabitable. None of these things make the least bit of sense and yet Democrats continue.

So it is then that the very Blue state of Connecticut has now set the stage as being the first state to raise its minimum wage because, or so we’re being told, the lawmakers there were supposedly responding to what the people wanted, according to the state's Democrat Gov. Dannel Malloy. Malloy, in his appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday, said, "We are the first state in 50 states to do what the people want us to do, and that's to raise the minimum wage to $10.10." Much like Obamacare, the measure passed Thursday without a single Republican vote. Only in this instance I think it was 5 Democrats that joined with the Republicans.

This liberal boob, Malloy, made the imbecilic claim that the increase would somehow help lift full-time workers out of poverty. He said, "This is going to take a whole bunch of people who are working 40 hours a week and living in poverty, out of poverty. That's the goal in Connecticut, to get people working at a job that allows them to support their families." Well, while it may actually help a few, at what cost is this ‘help’ actually likely to come? I mean I’m no genius here, but it would seem to me that if the goal here is to get, and keep, people working, making it more expensive for employers to do so just doesn’t make much sense.

Malloy, who recently appeared with Barry "Almighty" and several other New England governors to tout the proposal, applauded Wednesday's votes, saying he'll sign the bill into law at the same New Britain restaurant where Barry dined earlier this month during a visit. "I am proud that Connecticut is once again a leader on an issue of national importance," Malloy said. "Increasing the minimum wage is not just good for workers, it's also good for business." Well, not really, actually it’s bad for business, very bad. And it makes it more difficult to keep prices down. But I guess that doesn’t matter to folks in Connecticut.

Jack Temple, some policy analyst for the National Employment Law Project, said Connecticut's vote clears the way for other states to pass the legislation, and possibly Congress. "I think the significance cannot be overstated for this," he said. "The more action we see on the state level like this, that's always an ingredient for momentum at the federal level as well." The New York-based nonprofit research and advocacy group said similar proposals are also being considered by lawmakers in Maryland, Massachusetts, Hawaii and elsewhere. Blue states all, or more accurately referred to as, separate enclaves of American socialism.

It was after the vote on Wednesday that Barry "Almighty" was heard to say, "I hope Members of Congress, governors, state legislators and business leaders across our country will follow Connecticut's lead to help ensure that no American who works full time has to raise a family in poverty, and that every American who works hard has the chance to get ahead." All this is, is just another bit of idiotic liberal drivel that, while it might sound nice, like Obamacare will accomplish absolutely nothing of what has been promised by those who first created this legislation nor the idiot who would go on to sign it into law.

Republican lawmakers said the move was the latest in a string of legislation, including mandatory paid medical leave, making Connecticut uncompetitive. "We continue to have this schizophrenic attitude, where we say we're open for business on one hand — small businesses, you're our backbone, you are our heroes," said House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk. "Then we keep taking actions that keep punching them in the gut." And the small businesses in the state can only take so much and at some point I wouldn’t be surprised to start seeing some businesses leave, heading to friendlier territory.

The bill passed the Democratic-controlled General Assembly on largely party lines Wednesday. It passed 21-14 in the Senate and 87-54 in the House. Under current law, Connecticut's minimum wage was already scheduled to climb by 30 cents to $9 on Jan. 1, 2015. But under this bill, it would instead increase to $9.15 an hour. It would go up to $9.60 on Jan. 1, 2016 and to $10.10 on Jan. 1, 2017. Supposedly between 70,000 and 90,000 people earn the minimum wage in Connecticut, and it’s likely that after this law takes effect that number will be reduced, perhaps significantly, with some losing their jobs.

According to a Quinnipiac University Poll released earlier this month, it was 6 in 10 registered Connecticut voters who claimed to support increasing the wage to $10.10 or more. So I’m sure none of these folks will mind, in the least, that now when going to McDonald’s, or the like, they may just end up paying $60 or $70 to feed their family of 4. And I’m just as sure that they won’t have the slightest problem with seeing their taxes go up in order to cover the cost of what are sure to be the ‘benefits’ that will need to be provided to those folks who will lose their jobs in order to allow their former employer to pay those who still are lucky enough to have a job.

MAJORITY OF AMERICANS STILL NOT THRILLED WITH OBAMACARE…

Well it would seem that ‘Dingy Harry’s’ accusations that people are liars who are, essentially, too stupid to know how to use a computer, haven’t exactly improved how most folks now view what is a seizure by Democrats of how they are able to obtain their healthcare. Because a brand new poll seems to point out that those who say they support Obamacare equates to just 26 percent of the population. However, and something that makes very little sense to me, the poll also points out that at the same time only 13 percent want to have the law completely repealed. I guess you could put me firmly within that 13 percent.

The Associated Press-Gfk survey was completed before the White House announced this week that it had supposedly signed up 6 million people for private health plans through the state and federal exchanges under Obamacare. The poll showed that 7 in 10 American believe the law will stay on the books with some changes. The AP noted that support for the law has dropped 13 points since 2010, when 39 percent favored the law. Opposition also has dipped 7 percentage points from 2010, when it stood at 43 percent. The number of people on the fence, the AP reported, has tripled from 10 percent to 30 percent.

The limited support for the law is similar to what the poll found in January and December when it stood at 27 percent. Republicans hope that the public opposition to the law will help them defend their House majority and pick up the six net seats they need to flip control of the Senate in November. This despite the fact that such Democrat notables as Nancy Pelosi and DNC chair Debbie Wizzerman Schultz have said, repeatedly, that Obamacare remains something that Democrats can, and will, very proudly run on and that ‘Dingy Harry’ has recently claimed has now "dropped way down in significance." So I guess we’ll see.

DEMOCRATS CERTAINLY ARE A SLEAZY LOT…

I think most of us can all agree on the fact that old Chuckie Schumer’s dislike for billionaires seems to be more than just a bit selective. While he sees it as somehow being appropriate to whine nearly incessantly about those dastardly Koch brothers, he sees absolutely nothing whatsoever wrong with the constant meddling of someone like George Soros. Schumer has even gone so far as to deliver speeches in front of one Soros’ many known front groups, the Center for American Progress Action Fund. But I guess that’s different.

To me, it just all seems a bit unseemly that old Chuckie would go so far as to actually claim that the actions and advertisements of the billionaire philanthropist David Koch are "un-American," and for no other reason than because Mr. Koch differing viewpoint. But then, Chuckie did fall just short of actually accusing Koch of being "un-American", as his buddy ‘Dingy Harry’ has done, repeatedly. But old ‘Dingy’ shouldn’t be accusing others of anything, as he has recently found himself in a bit of a scandal regarding some campaign funds.

But anyway, it was in a recent interview on another one of those MSNBC ratings juggernauts, "Morning Joe", that old Chuckie said, "I think what Harry Reid was saying was the actions are un-American. And, they are. And, they should change." "In running those ads? Absolutely [they are un-American]." You know, I always have to chuckle whenever I hear some toe-jam-sucking Democrat accuse someone else of being un-American. After all, name me one Democrat, just one, who doesn’t come across as being un-American.

Most folks are probably aware of recent, and near endless, Democrat attacks that have been focused on Koch and his brother Charles, billionaire brothers known for their donations to the arts and medicine, as well as to Republican political issues. Chuckie targeted the Koch brothers Wednesday in a speech where he laid out the Democrat's agenda for the elections in a message that pits the middle class against the wealthy, but somehow he managed to leave out of his comments anything about his buddy, George Soros.

It was also on Wednesday that Chuckie was heard to say, "Democrats are fighting for a fair shot for everyone, while Republicans are doing the bidding of the Koch brothers, the wealthy, and huge corporations. Those people already have a fair shot. Middle class people need a fair shot. That's the distinction we will draw in November." Now despite Chuckie’s claims, and all of this "fair shot" drivel, what the Democrats are actually fighting for is to come up with a way of getting rid of the middle class entirely, once and for all.

Old 'Dingy Harry' took direct aim at the Koch brothers back in February in a speech on the Senate floor, when he called them "un-American." Chuckie said ads, financed in part by donations by the Kochs, were "against the American grain and un-American." Chuckie again whined to ‘Morning Joe’, "David Koch's commercials, which are huge amounts of money, I think they should not be allowed." I guess Chuckie is also rather selective when it comes to who should, and should not, have the freedom of speech.

Now if we can believe old Chuckie, the Democrat agenda will focus on "things that average Americans talk about around the coffee table." He mentioned things like making college affordable, luring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., and tax incentives for child care. Strangely, though, Chuckie made no mention of doing anything about what Obamacare has now done to the cost of obtaining healthcare. After recently being forced to change to a more costly insurance, that’s a topic now routinely discussed around MY coffee table.

I think it has become pretty common knowledge, or at least it should have by now, that anyone who dares to disagree with Chuckie and his fellow Democrats, or takes exception to their socialist agenda, is now going to be accused of being un-American. But the actual fact of the matter is that the truly un-American ones here, are actually the Democrats. And in their eagerness to be victorious they are willing to team up with anyone, no matter how sordid, while still feeling somehow justified in attacking those who support their opponents.

YOU CAN FILE THIS ONE UNDER…’NO SHIT SHERLOCK’…

Well, it’s according to a recent Fox News opinion survey made public just yesterday that fewer Americans think the United States presents a strong image on the world stage or that Barry "Almighty" is a "strong and decisive leader." And it would seem that dissatisfaction with Barry's questionable leadership style apparently straddles across a variety of issues but generally breaks down along partisan lines.

According to this poll it’s some 59 percent of Americans who are still convinced that the U.S. is the world's "most dominant power" which is in pretty stark contrast to the 85 percent who held that same view back in 2002. And it’s about 52 percent who think the U.S. is less powerful than when Barry "Almighty’ first came into office, with 22 percent of Democrats agreeing and 78 percent of Republicans.

The number of Americans who say the U.S. is safer now than it was before the 9/11 terrorist attacks has again dropped to 49 percent. But most people feel air travel remains safer, at 59 percent. Thirty-four percent see China or, to a lesser extent, Russia as ascendant over the United States. But, either way, most now view America as having been reduced, by Barry, to being a second rate world power.

On Ukraine, 53 percent say Washington should not be more involved, yet more (46 percent) disapprove of Barry's rather inept handling of the crisis than bring themselves to actually approve (38 percent). Sixty-six percent say that Barry's idiotic approach is insufficiently robust. A majority of those polled say they are following the news about Ukraine. But I’m really not sure if I believe that.

Strangely enough 43 percent of these folks actually are able to view Barry as being a "strong and decisive leader." Meanwhile 53 percent disapprove of the way that Barry handles his job, compared to 54 percent earlier in the month. And it’s about 37 percent who now approve of his approach to foreign policy, better than the 33 percent earlier in March – yet 53 percent presently disapprove.

In a theoretical chess match between Vlad Putin and Barry, 49 percent now think Putin would win, compared to just 31 percent for Barry. On other issues, 66 percent of Americans disagree with the administration's plans to follow through on its commitment to turn over Internet oversight to an international monitoring group; and 63 percent disapprove ending the manned space shuttle program.

Let’s face it, I think it pretty fair to say that our president is now viewed, Nobel Peace prize notwithstanding, by most world leaders as being pretty much nothing more than a bad joke. And it’s because he’s seen that way, that the rest of us are as well. But personally, I think it’s his preference that America be viewed in such a manner. I’m not sure how else you can explain most of the things that he’s done.

And what truly frightens me is the fact that this country may actually elect Hitlery Clinton as his successor. Someone who maintains the same low opinion of her country as does Barry "Almighty". And because she hates this country as much, if not more, than Barry does, if that were to actually happen, there’s little chance that America’s stature in the world would be anything but even further reduced.

MORE DEMOCRAT HYPOCROSY…

 If there is one thing that Democrats are very good at, it would be the ability to talk out of both sides of their mouths and pretty much simultaneously. We’re constantly being told how it is they, and they alone, who are the protectors of minorities and the guardians of women’s rights. Republicans are always being accused of wishing to return us to the good old days of Jim Crow and of when women were kept barefoot and pregnant. And sadly, many choose to believe this rather fictional account of reality. Because, let’s not forget, that such things as Jim Crow, slavery, segregation and even the creation of the Ku Klux Klan, were all institutions dreamt up and implemented by Democrats. And what exactly have Democrats accomplished for women that has, in any way, made them better off. Democrats have essentially convinced many women that they will be better off if the government is allowed to play the role of spouse or significant other.

For instance, nearly every day now, and especially during an election year, we hear how the Democrats, and especially Barry, very strongly supports equal pay for women who do the same job as men. And yet we find that 63 percent of the federal civilian workers who earned an annual salary of $100,000 or more in 2013 were men. At least according to data from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Now they wouldn’t lie about such a thing, would they? An OPM database, called FedScope, contains historical data on the federal civilian workforce going back to 1998. The database contains information about civilian federal workers employed by most ‘Executive Branch’, which Barry heads up, agencies and some Legislative Branch agencies. It does not include employees of the Judiciary Branch or congressional staff. So we see that Barry’s words don’t match up all that well with is actions. Big surprise there.

This database includes the numbers of federal workers at varying "salary levels," set out in $10,000 increments ranging from "less than $20,000" to "$180,000 or more." As of September 2013, there were 474,630 federal civilian employees, covered by the OPM database, paid a salary of $100,000 or more. Of those, 300,221 or 63.3 percent were men, and only 174,409 or 36.7 percent were females. Historically, females have outnumbered males in the brackets among the federal civilian workforce earning $39,999 or less. In every year since 1998, in all brackets earning $40,000 or more, men have outnumbered women. Since 1998, the first year in OPM database, the percentage of women in the federal workforce earning $100,000 or more has increased. But the rate of that increase has slowed considerably during the time that Barry has been in office. Oh no, say it isn’t so! But wait a minute, Barry said he’s all about being fair.

From September 2009 to September 2013, the percentage of females earning a salary of six figures or more increased from 34.9 percent to 36.7 percent, averaging a yearly percentage point increase of 0.7. From September 2001 to September 2008, the percentage of females earning a salary of six figures or more increased from 21.8 percent to 33.2 percent, averaging a yearly percentage point increase of 1.53. During Barry’s presidency, the female share of the federal civilian workforce has declined, hitting a recorded low in 2013, according to the OPM database. In September 2009, the year Barry took office, 44.3 percent of the federal civilian workforce was female. In 2013, it was 43.5%. This is but one more example of the type of dishonesty that we have seen play out time and again over the course of the last five years. Barry seems to be of the opinion that most people will believe anything he says because it’s him who’s saying it.

But let’s face it, there are few things that Democrats will not say, especially during an election year, in their effort to convince the less intelligent or the uninformed among us that is they who stand for fairness and equality. And sadly, far too many will choose to believe what is, in reality, nothing more than empty election year rhetoric. Much has been said about some theoretical war on women that is currently being waged by the Republicans. But it’s upon closer inspection that we find that that’s really not the case. What we would find is that it’s the Democrat Party that seems to be most interested in creating a level of dependency on government the runs completely counter to their rhetoric about only being interested in creating an environment that provides everyone with an opportunity to stand on their own two feet. But what they’re really striving for is to get as many people as possible completely dependent on government.



THE MORE OBAMACARE EXCUSES WE HEAR THE MORE IDIOTIC THEY BECOME…

What has to be one of the most ridiculous, and quite bizarre, excuses yet made by any Democrat regarding the failure to get enough folks signed up for Obamacare, and also demonstrates the fact that they have now essentially run out of excuses, is this latest one to be put forth by none other than ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid. Because it was old ‘Dingy’ who said the fault of struggling to sign up on the Obamacare exchanges doesn’t lie with the faulty website, but instead with the people trying to sign up who simply aren’t "educated on how to use the Internet." He’s gotta be kidding, right? ‘Dingy’ doesn’t kid about Obamacare.

In attempting to explaining what it is that lies behind the latest in what has been a long list of many Obamacare delays, ‘Dingy Harry’ said that far too many people just didn’t know to use their computer properly and simply needed more time. Apparently, it had nothing whatsoever to do with all of the well-documented failings of the website that have continued to embarrass both the White House, and any number of Democrats currently facing re-election, for months now. We can plainly see that by claiming that people are too stupid to use their computers, Democrats have now officially run out of usable excuses.

‘Dingy’ said, "We have hundreds of thousands of people who tried to sign up who didn’t get through." He went on to say, "There are some people who are not like my grandchildren who can handle everything so easily on the Internet, and these people need a little extra time. It’s not — the example they gave us is a 63-year-old woman came into the store and said, ‘I almost got it. Every time I just about got there, it would cut me off.’ We have a lot of people just like this through no fault of the Internet, but because people are not educated on how to use the Internet." This is just all so idiotic.

It’s just the latest strange moment for the embattled ‘Dingy Harry’, who’s facing an increasingly uphill battle to maintain a majority of Democrats there in the Senate. ‘Dingy’ also recently came out and accused any American who would dare to tell their story of how Obamacare has had a harmful effect on them, as being essentially nothing but a liar. And he has constantly bashed the Koch Brothers as being "un-American" and "against everything that’s good for America." Unfortunately for old ‘Dingy’, he has a far higher negative rating with the public than do the Koch brothers.

Kinda makes you wonder what they’re going to be saying next. Of course there’s the fact that we also recently heard from that pathetic lying-sack-of-shit Kathleen Sebelius regarding the latest effort to allow more folks time to get signed up, which she said was not actually an extension of the 31 March deadline. Say what? Then what the Hell is it if it isn’t an extension? Call it whatever name you want, it’s still the allowing of more time to get folks signed up, which in my book is an extension. But did anyone really doubt that the final Obamacare enrollment deadline would end up slipping?

It’s not like Barry & Co. are setting some new precedent with their latest move, giving customers even more time to enroll after next Monday’s official deadline if they’re already in line. In reality, the administration is just continuing a long pattern of delays that while, claimed to demonstrate flexibility and help the law work better, serve to fuel a public perception that Obamacare deadlines never really mean anything. You know, kinda like them "red lines" that Barry is rather notorious for first drawing, then ignoring. This would be funny if it weren’t so catastrophic for so many millions of people.

This group already went through a similar exercise in December, cutting people some slack if they were stuck in cybertraffic by the deadline for Jan. 1 coverage. Then and now, administration officials argued that it’s only fair to give people extra time if they were held up by the volume of last-minute sign-ups. But the list of delays covers so much more. The administration has bent deadlines for the employer mandate (twice), put off the launch of the Spanish-language enrollment site and even delayed the enrollment season for 2015, pushing it off until after the November midterm elections.

Working backward, here’s a brief history of some of the most prominent Obamacare delays:

March 25: Final enrollment deadline extended. The March 31 deadline — the end of enrollment for 2014 — will be loosened for people with special sign-up circumstances.
March 14: High-risk pools extended. The special, temporary coverage for people with serious pre-existing conditions — which was supposed to last only until the health insurance exchanges were in place — was extended a third time for another month.
Feb. 10: Employer mandate delayed. This time, businesses with between 50 and 100 workers were given until 2016 to offer coverage, and the mandate will be phased in for employers with more than 100 workers.
Jan. 14: High-risk pools extended. The high-risk insurance pools, which originally had been slated to close Jan. 1, had already been extended once.
Dec. 24: Enrollment deadline extended. In a message on HealthCare.gov, customers were told they could get help finishing their Jan. 1 applications if they were already in line on Dec. 24.
Dec. 12: Enrollment deadline extended. Customers on the federal enrollment website were given nearly two more weeks to sign up for coverage effective Jan. 1.
Nov. 27: Small Business Health Options Program (known as SHOP) delayed. Online enrollment for the federal health insurance exchanges for small businesses was delayed.
Nov. 21: Open enrollment delayed for 2015. The administration pushed back next year’s enrollment season by a month.
July 2: Employer mandate delayed. The administration declared that it wouldn’t enforce the fines in 2014 for businesses with more than 50 full-time workers who don’t offer health coverage. The fines were pushed back to 2015.
Nov. 15, 2012: Exchange deadline delayed. The Department of Health and Human Services gave states an extra month to decide whether they would set up their own health insurance exchanges — a decision it announced just one day before the original deadline.

So while ‘Dingy Harry’ can see fit to blame the American people for being too stupid to know how to operate their computers, and Sebelius can, with her extension that really isn’t, claim all is working so smoothly, the truth of the matter is that what we have here, in Obamacare, is nothing more than a very shitty product that fulfills none of the many promises that were made. And add to that the fact that it has now been the direct cause of millions more Americans to have lost their insurance than the number of those who have now been able to gain affordable coverage for themselves, and it’s plain to see what a boondoggle this thing really is.

SADLY, THE BIG LOSERS OF OBAMACARE ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE…

So, what we recently had was yet another brain-dead Democrat desperate to show that Obamacare somehow significantly improves the level of healthcare available to women by attempting to make the case that it does so solely by making all manner of birth control, even abortion, something that MUST now be covered by all health insurances. So the responsibility for one’s contraceptive use would now something that is paid for by someone else. I guess this is another example of that much talked about ‘Liberal Logic’.

Spewing nothing more than what has become the typical brand of drivel heard coming from just about every Democrat, it was as recent as this past Tuesday that we heard Sen. Patty Murray, DEMOCRAT, tell fellow dingbat, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, "I've worked hard to make sure that women have access to the right kinds of health care, and it's their choice, not their employer's choice." And actually, we’re not talking about healthcare, per se, what we’re actually talking about here is the supposed ‘right’ to an abortion.

This imbecilic dingbat went on to say, "Sitting in that court today, it was stunning to me to recognize that nine people are going to make that decision, and will decide for a long time to come, whether women have to question when they go to work every day what the shareholders of that company's religious views could be." Is that what this progressive boob is really trying to make this about? What this is really all about is the attempt by Democrats to literally force people onto Obamacare by going after their employers.

So unless you’ve been living under a rock someplace, I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Tuesday in a critical religious freedom case. The court will decide whether, or not, the government is able to force family-owned companies to provide employees with health insurance that covers no-cost birth control and other medical procedures, i.e., abortions, that violate the owners' religious beliefs. But all means, the very last thing that we need to be concerned about is the protecting anyone’s Christian beliefs.

So the plaintiffs in this case argue that a 1993 federal law on religious freedom extends to private, for-profit businesses. And of course our dingbat Murray said the "compelling" question for her is, "Should a private CEO of a corporation or their shareholders' religious rights trump the right of employees?" What right is it of the employee that’s being trumped here? The right to screw everything in sight while at the same time making sure that someone else is made to be responsible for covering the cost of one’s desire to do so?

According to morons like this Murray clown, if the court does rule that private companies have the religious right to deny contraception, could that then be extended to such things as immunizations? Murray asked. "It really opens up a wide, wide range of issues that shareholders could decide about what they provide," she said. What is this hapless bitch talking about? For years things had been going along pretty smoothly. And then along came the Democrats and their attempt to seize control of our healthcare system.

This idiot went on to say, "And secondly, the question really is: So do 51 percent of the shareholders get to vote that they don't provide contraceptive coverage? I mean, the thresholds are very interesting here, and it's going to be very difficult, I think, for this court to make those determinations on this case." Spoken like a true believer in the socialist/progressive philosophy. And that’s really the driving force behind all of this nonsense. And with a court that leans a little left these days, religion may be about to take a hit.

The question of religious objection to vaccinations came up several times in Tuesday's oral arguments. Paul Clement, the plaintiffs' attorney, said he thinks the government "may have a stronger compelling interest" in requiring vaccinations as part of preventive services than it does in requiring birth control. Donald Verrilli, Jr., arguing for the Obama administration -- agreed that the government has a "compelling interest" in advancing colorectal cancer screening and immunizations -- as well as contraception coverage

One brilliant suggestion I heard, and I’m sorry that I can’t remember from whom it cam, was for this company, a company that has always provided health insurance to its employee, to simply cease providing coverage, pay the ‘tax’, and force their employees to use the Obamacare exchanges. Is that what the employees want? And regardless of what any Democrat may claim, that’s what this entire case is really all about. Forcing companies to stop providing coverage, and thus their employees into Obamacare.

So I suppose what this is really all going to boil down to is, are women, or at least enough of them, actually going to be stupid enough to fall for the line of bullshit that we continue to hear coming from Democrats like this boob Murray? Is birth control really such a priority for most women that they would actually risk losing their current coverage and be forced into taking Obamacare? If so, then I suppose one could argue that if that is in fact the case then we’ve got far bigger problems going on here, societally speaking. Well ladies?

JIMMY CARTER AND THE MYTH OF EQUAL PAY…

He who possessed the reputation of having been what many have called this nation’s worst president before he was lucky enough to have Barry came along, Jimmy Carter, now says that it’s the Bible that’s to blame for the fact that women make less money than men in the workplace. So I’m curious, might that be the rationale used by Barry’s for his deciding to pay the women who work for him less than what he pays the men? Just askin’.

It was in a recent interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell that Jimmy proceeded to rattle off some supposed statistics on the issue of unequal pay between the two genders. Carter said, "In the United States for the same exact work for a full-time employee, women get 23 percent less pay than men." He added. "And in the Fortune 500, only 21 of those leaders among the 500 are women, and in that high level they get 42 percent less pay" than men.

Now it was last year at an event celebrating the Equal Pay Act, that Barry repeated the myth that women earn 77 cents on a man's dollar. He said at the time, "The day that the bill was signed into law, women earned 59 cents for every dollar a man earned on average. Today, it's about 77 cents." Barry went on to claim, "Over the course of her career, a working woman with a college degree will earn on average hundreds of thousands of dollars less than a man who does the same work. " Every syllable was pure Democrat bullshit.

Something rarely of ever mentioned by Democrats is the fact that unmarried childless women's salaries very often exceed men's. In an actual comparison of unmarried and childless men and women between the ages of 35 and 43, it was found that, sorry Jimmy, women earn more, roughly 108 cents to a man's dollar. And honestly, wouldn’t you would think that if Barry was so concerned about the wage gap, why not fix things there in the White House? In 2012, female White House staffers made 87 cents on a man's dollar.

And here’s something else to consider. Women often make less than men because they choose more humanities and fewer science and math majors at college. Then, when they graduate, more choose to enter the non-profit or government sector. Finally, many actually choose to work fewer hours to better combine work and family. In May, 2013, according to Labor Department data, 23 percent of women worked part-time, compared to 11 percent of men. But to Democrats this is all of little consequence, it doesn’t fit the liberal narrative.

So like Barry, Jimmy offers up sone pretty questionable ‘proof’ to support his premise. However, unlike other Democrats, Carter has come up with a rather new spin on things after supposedly spending three years researching a link between religion and the abuse of young girls and women across the world for some new book his entitled, "A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power." His supposed research concluded that, yes, there is a link between religion and how females are treated, even in the workplace.

Carter said, "That is really derived, I would say, indirectly from the fact that religious leaders say that women are inferior in the eyes of God, which is a false interpretation of the Holy Scriptures." He then went on to say, "When [men] see the Pope and the Southern Baptist Convention and others say that women can't serve as priests equally with men, they say, 'Well, I'll treat my wife the way I want to because she's inferior to me.'" Is anyone really buying any of this drivel?

In the proposal for his book, Carter called the treatment of women a "human rights" issue. "I am convinced that discrimination against women and girls is one of the world's most serious, all-pervasive and largely ignored violations of basic human rights," Carter wrote, as reported by the New York Times. "It is disturbing to realize that women are treated most equally in some countries that are atheistic or where governments are strictly separated from religion," he said.

Ya know, it is my firm belief that this is really nothing more than part of what has become a concerted effort to convince women that it’s the Democrat Party that should be seen as being their protector. But it continues to be just the opposite that’s true, unless of course one’s looking for a free abortion. Because it has been during this president’s economy that women have been to suffer, unable to find a job. It’s Barry’s policies that have had the biggest impact on women and how they are able to go about living their lives.
