There are pics of Nancy looking semi-hawt for her advanced age. This is not one of them. This is see & shriek stuff.

He lies, dissembles and contradicts with such ease, secure in the knowledge that the corrupt media will always cover for him.

But a Republican who makes even a minor verbal mistake is savaged relentlessly by a vicious partisan media.

It may appear to us that republicans are making progress on the public relations front and that the real character and truth about democrats is emerging.

But we can’t be mislead by what we read here at FR and other places on the internet, what we hear on talk radio and see on FOX News.

Most of the information from those sources never makes it to the mainstream media.

Just this morning a brief look through the local fish-wrapper got my blood boiling again. All of the commentary and the political cartoons were biased to prop up Obama and the democrats and to demonize republicans and conservative.

There is good reason why the term “Low Informatrion Voter” was coined.

Demoncrats see people as commodities. Conservatives see people.

Democrats are all about power. Conservatives are about freedom.

Many Republicans are so used to capitulation they don’t know any other way. The ongoing shut down and success of the Tea Party has taken the RINOs into unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory. They are desperately looking for a way to capitulate and appease. They can’t stand the pressure. They want their old status quo back.

Of course there is, but I don't call them Low Information voters. You can see what I call them in my Tagline

I’m not sure that all the propaganda the corrupt media is putting out is having much effect. People just don’t seem to be getting worked up over the shut down. To many, its probably seen as something like an inconsequential continuation of the Sequester which had no real effect on anyone.

I may be wrong about this but I live in a liberal state and don’t see much in the way of a reaction to the shut down.

I agree with the piecemeal approach. In fact, I think it should be a permanent way of keeping cr** out of the budget.

And the reports for the newly unemployed are delayed because the workers who compile the information are conveniently furloughed.

If they were to report the real circumstances, it would be awful, I believe.

We will never hear the truth about the real unemployment numbers, using the same methodology that all the other presidents used in recent administrations.

What proposals did he make in his negotiation, I wonder?

I do not hear the press describing Obama’s position on anything other than to say, “No.”

President “Nope.”

I wish we would not throw the words “subsidy” and “exemption” around as if they are the same thing. We know Congress is accustomed to enriching themselves at the expense of constituents, and they are just as willing to have the taxpayer foot the bill for their exotic health insurance plans. But they have by no means exempted themselves from partaking of the Federal exchanges as far as I know.

Except for the "paying for it" part.
