Dear Lord that guy Becerra is an asshole of the highest order.
Kudos to Chris for shutting him up.
Talks about the House in reference to appointment verification though Wallace constantly reminded him that House does NOT do this.
What a horrible, horrible man....Becerra. I don’t know how he sleeps nights.
They seem to prefer it. The GOP was out of power for decades, and when they got it back, they didn't know how to handle it, and they grew the federal government. That is, actions didn't match rhetoric. There are a very small number of good ones in there now, and the good ones might want to stay away, lest they be blamed when the house of cards comes tumblin' down.
Wow MTP could be interesting two Presidents on one show!!
This weeks funniest video of Congress has to be this one:

Cummings is so worried about the IRS scandal that he can’t seem to remember the words or even that he is suppose to be singing.
Brilliant as usual and you are right we do have a center right country and it remains so.A recent Gallup poll verifys your post.
As far as miss. goes its a clusterfark. Heres some of the research I have done in the past few days its never ending.
Here’s what may be going on in Miss.Dirty politics at the highest levels.Haley Barbour in collusion with the Gov. of Mississippi.
Seems Haley Barbour just couldn’t stand to see his lobbying group go down in flames if ol’ Thad Cochran was not elected again.
trouble is no on expects Cochran,76,to actually serve out his term. So, speculation started who would be the man to replace him.
Seems it may be Congressman Greg Harper according to the link above and clip below.
Here’s a clip:
……..Shaver adds that he’s heard Rep. Gregg Harper (R-MS) is the likely choice for Cochran’s replacement, if that’s how it goes down, mid-term.
“I’ve been told that Phil Bryant likes Gregg Harper a whole lot,” Shaver said. “If you sit and look who in Mississippi is the heir apparent to Thad, again you go back and look at Roger Wicker and you say, again, there was nobody else that was lined up to do it. What I have heard is that is what the governor wants. He wants Gregg Harper in that position.”
Seems Barbour and family except for his brother who was a McDaniel supporter are perfectly willing to use the Miss. commie-dems to defeat a Tea Party candidate, McDaniel, or basically anyone who threatened his lobbying empire said to reach from dc to Miss.
Sick, sick.
Once this story gets out and it will, the war on rinos and the GOPe will intensify even more. The fat cats in the GOP may have paid a very high price to keep their pork alive in Miss.

Here’s a wiki clip on Barbour’s lobbying firm BGR. This is big time and has links to everything, this is some serious stuff.
“Barbour has been described as “one of Washington’s all-time mega-lobbyists.”[12] He “was a wealthy K Street lobbyist for giant corporations such as RJ Reynolds, Philip Morris, Amgen, Microsoft, United Health, Southern Company, and many others.”
[13] In 1991, Barbour helped found the lobbying group now known as BGR Group,[14] a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm, with Ed Rogers, a lawyer who formerly worked in the George H. W. Bush administration. In 1994, Lanny Griffith (also a former Bush administration appointee) joined the firm.
In 1998, Fortune magazine named Barbour Griffith & Rogers as the second-most-powerful lobbying firm in America.[15] In 2001, after the inauguration of George W. Bush, Fortune named it the most powerful.[16] The firm “is employed by several foreign countries, as well as oil and cigarette companies.”[12] Its role in advocating on behalf of the tobacco industry has been particularly prominent.
[17] BGR also “lobbied on behalf of the Embassy of Mexico in 2001 to promote a bill related to Section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This provision would have provided a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the United States, through family connections or job skills, without a requirement that they return to their home country for the requisite 3-10 years. This is what’s often referred to as ‘amnesty.’”
[18] “As part of that work, Barbour’s firm arranged meetings and briefings with ‘Senators, members of Congress and their staffs, as well as Executive Branch Officials in the White House, National Security Council, State Department, and Immigration & Naturalization Service’. Barbour’s firm charged Mexico $35,000 a month, plus expenses.”[19]
As of 2010, the firm remains one of DC’s top 25, but has seen revenues drop both in 2009 and in 2010.[20] Barbour continues to “collect payments from BGR through a blind trust, which was recently valued at $3.3 million.”[12]” Second most powerful lobbying firm in the US—pretty much says it all.
I'm just guessing. But could THESE TWO
be conspiring to downplay the damage to both Obama and Hillary due to THIS JUST OUT BEST SELLER:
Actually that's a great analysis of a true commie pinko who is already high up in the commie/dem apparatus.
What’s with the cover?
Obamas look hip chic and young and Clintons look worn out tired and on their last legs.
Seems Cochran has enormous power in the senate.His vote is already screwing up fisheries regs--favoring commercial interests over sport fishing interests and has major league implications for all kinds of multi-nationals that KGB/Barbour represent.
We are talking huge numbers here depending on which way congress votes on many issues effecting multinationals. It's big enough for Barbour to buy the Miss election while going commie in the process!! Sick ! It's a message that if "we" don't get out it won't be heard since the drivebys won't tell what is really going on. All they know is that Tea Party people are racists,that's their only talking point,the race card.
I gotta get “Blood Feud” its gotta be good. Probably will outsell the wench’s scribble.
Yes. Comes with seniority, but for the most part, Cochran has managed to fly under the radar. He was head of the Senate Appropriations Committee, plenty of muscle in the inevitable conference committees that write in all the local pork clauses. Key player in the government-crony management apparatus.
Can anybody tell me what Brit Hume said?
In response to another asshole, Karl Rove, who says the NATIONAL Tea Party is defeated.
Oh sure, Rove said, there was the House Majority leader, WHICH IS BIG!
The Tea Party is not dead and we aren’t going away.
No matter how much Karl Rove wishes it were so.
I agree, bray’s article this morning is fantastic. On point and truly dissects the GOP problem today.
Great add on analysis too, rodguy. I think Halley Barbour has been suspect ever since he forced the purchase of his book on the GOP so it could be given away to delegates at a GOP national convention.
They write a book and some union or another buys a bazillion copies. They get stored in warehouses until they can be found in the bargain bin of Walmart for .98.
Meanwhile the candidate gets a profit from the “sold” books and can run to represent the union, business or whatever or whoever else bought all the books.
I do believe the GOPe and media assault on the Tea Party is driving more voters to the Tea Party than away from it. The fear is at what point is the wedge so large that real conservatives cannot support the GOP?
Guess Barbour and company would be desperate unless they could control what happens in the Senate. I wonder who the number two man is?
Not too surprising. I’m sure the under the table cash flowed big time from a desperate lobbyist.
