This one is difficult to comprehend.  Allen West one of the most Conservative Republicans in Congress.  He get’s into it now and then because he tells it like it is and that means he is speaking the truth.  An unusual commodity for an elected official today.  Let’s see we have Allen West or Nancy Pelosi, who needs the redistricting?  Any question?  The fix is in. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

The establishment is fighting back, alright.

This has not received a lot of national attention, but the Republican legislature in Florida is about to push through a plan which puts Allen West at serious risk, and the person leading the effort is one of Mitt Romney’s spokemen.  As reported by The Shark Tank:

After last night’s [Jan. 26] Republican Presidential debate, the candidates’ respective spin-meisters made their cases to the media as to why their guy won the debate.  One of Governor Mitt Romney’s spokesmen was Florida Representative Will Weatherford, and during the course of his remarks in the “Spin Room”, he shed a very dim light on the ongoing redistricting process in the Florida Legislature….

West’s congressional district inexplicably sheds the most out support as compared to all other incumbent Republican and Democrat Congressman. A few weeks back we quoted an unnamed legislator saying that, “Allen West was screwed”, a statement which was originally made about made five months before the purposed maps were made public, leading insiders to believe that the fix was in against Allen West.  But in light of Weatherford’s comment, it is increasingly clear that this is a fait accompli.

According to Weatherford, those preliminary maps will not change- at the most, any additional changes would be minimal, and those changes would not make any appreciable difference from the preliminary maps.  In addition, Weatherford stated that a deal was struck between him, Senate President Mike Haridopolos, and Senator Don Gaetz to finalize these maps and push them through as soon as possible.

Weatherford tried to hide behind a need to comply with [state and] federal law, but that’s obviously a dodge since there could have been many ways to comply yet not sacrifice West:

A website, SaveAllenWest, had been set up, but it appears to be too late.

One of the rising stars of the Tea Party is about to be sacrificed by the Republican establishment in Florida, led by someone spinning for Mitt Romney.

Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Update 1-30-2012:  Florida redistricting looking even worse and Dem SuperPAC targeting “Tea Party 10″.

Also, Will Weatherford: The Florida legislature has NOT targeted Allen West

Update No. 2 1-30-2012:  Mark Levin interviewed West on January 30.  West stated that maps were submitted to the legislature which would have kept his district intact and still been in compliance with state and federal law.  Levin said he did not believe the excuses being made that the map had to be drawn the way it was as a matter of law.

The only thing certain about dealing with this squirrel is there is absolutely no certainty possible.  When dealing with the warped twisted mind that follows the rantings of a Seventh Century lunatic it seems you must become one to believe in their horrific cult. With a rational being his taunts could be taken as bluster and sabre rattling.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

Admadinejad Taking up Hitler’s Torch of Fascism …

Is Iran set to attack the USA? And if the answer is “yes,” then how? The Confidential Reporter explores the possibility of a coming Iranian attack on America–which was long a Nazi dream of Adolph Hitler’s.

Hitler-Admiring Ahmadinejad Aims to Attack America

Clerical Fascist Foe of US and Israel
Plans to Fulfill Nazi Fuhrer’s Dream

By now, it should be pretty clear to everyone except diehard appeasers that Islamist Iran intends to rain missiles down on Israeli cities when (not if) Iran ends up in a shooting war with Israel and the United States over the mullahocracy’s refusal to scrap its nuclear arms program. Iran has made its intentions known in this regard by repeatedly vowing to “burn Tel Aviv,” bomb an Israeli nuclear installation in the Negev desert, “eradicate the Zionist cancer,” etc.

What is less clear, because Iran has only hinted at this part of its war plan, is that the turbaned tyranny also intends to launch missile attacks on U.S. cities.

That’s right: Iran intends to attack the U.S. homeland. And the Iranian attacks could come early in the coming conflict. Extreme Iranian hawks want to attack now or immediately after the first shots are fired–following, say, skirmishes or naval clashes in the Strait of Hormuz, assuming the war begins in the strategic waterway, or in Syria, as a result of U.S. intervention in Iran’s secular Arab ally. Mainstream–meaning, more pragmatic–Iranian hawks (there are no doves) would prefer to wait until the U.S. attacks Iran itself before lashing back at U.S. cities in order to best exploit the propaganda value of the reprisals. Images of dead Iranian civilians could be used to justify the Iranian attacks; an army of Useful Idiots could be relied upon to parrot the Iranian line.

All clerical fascist factions agree: Iran must be prepared to attack “the Great Satan” as well as “the Little Satan.” Attacking the Great Satan presents the greater challenge, of course; but the risks associated with this may be lower, surprisingly, than trying to level Tel Aviv or Haifa. Reason: Israel, which is believed to have a formidable arsenal of nuclear weapons, is certain to obliterate Iran (to use a term that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made famous during her failed bid for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2008) to prevent a second Holocaust. But the Obama administration has more or less declared that it will never use nuclear weapons against an enemy that refrains from using nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction against the U.S.

Moreover, notwithstanding President Obama’s success in combating Al Qaeda–killing Osama Bin Laden, decimating the organization through drone strikes, and so on–America’s first “Muslim outreach” commander-in-chief has given Iran and other enemies of the U.S. every reason to assume that if forced to fight a full-blown war, especially against a Muslim country, he will be overly cautious, choosing to escalate the conflict at a measured pace instead of seeking to end the war with swift, crushing blows.

Which helps to explain why the men who rule Iran are plotting to strike U.S. civilian populations along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts. The Islamonazi monsters are basically borrowing a few pages from Adolf Hitler’s World War II playbook.

A bit of frightening and exceedingly relevant history. In the run-up to the War, Nazi Germany established espionage networks in Latin America; during the War, the Nazis used submarines both to smuggle saboteurs into the U.S. and to attack U.S. ships. Nazi subs sank dozens of ships in U.S. waters and turned the Gulf of Mexico into a giant killing zone. Incredibly, more than 20 U-boats operated in the Gulf during the years 1942 and ’43. They attacked tankers transporting oil from ports in Texas and Louisiana, successfully sinking 56 vessels. In one instance, the tanker Virginia was torpedoed in the mouth of the Mississippi River by a German U-Boat, killing 26 out of 40 crewmen.

More history. Hitler dreamed of attacking New York; and Nazi plans to attack the city by air or submarine actually pre-dated Pearl Harbor. After the U.S. entered the war, Hitler became obsessed with destroying Manhattan skyscrapers. He longed to see the buildings burn. (He would have been proud of Bin Laden.) As Germany’s defeat loomed, the Nazi leader ordered German generals and scientists to build a missile capable reaching New York. Had the war lasted longer, they might have succeeded.

Back to the future. Iran’s Hitler-admiring maniac-in-chief, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, aims to fulfill the Fuhrer’s unrealized dream. Ahmadinejad doesn’t need U-boats. He has a fleet of seemingly civilian cargo ships equipped with cleverly concealed, containerized, Russian-made missile launch systems–which Iran and North Korea have jointly test-fired in the context of their notable Islamist-Stalinist partnership in proliferation. Flying flags of convenience, these vessels can be deployed to strike U.S. coastal cities–and may already be lurking offshore.

Latin American spy bases? Ahmadinejad has these and more–meaning, cells of Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and Hezbollah terrorists and commandos in Venezuela and Mexico. The jihadist killers are ready to sacrifice their own lives in order to attack U.S. targets abroad and inside the U.S. As far as they are concerned, the unbelievably porous U.S. border is wide open for terrorist business. Attacks on U.S. municipalities along and close to the Mexican border are distinctly possible. Massacres and mass hostage situations are not at all far-fetched.

Sabotage operations? Nazi wartime sabotage missions against the U.S. homeland were absurdly amateurish. All known attempts ended badly–for the Nazis. Infiltrators immediately gave themselves up or were quickly apprehended after coming ashore; fifth column attacks never materialized. The German American Bund, though menacing, turned out to be a paper tiger. In sharp contrast, Iran is believed by intelligence experts to have already established professional terrorist cells in U.S. cities capable of carrying out Mumbai-style swarming attacks on transportation hubs, hotels, hospitals, schools, residential and office buildings, shopping malls and commercial centers and other soft targets.

Iran’s asymmetric attacks will be aimed at electrifying Muslim/Third World masses (liberals and neo-isolationists are in dangerous denial about the intense hatred of the U.S. across the globe) and crippling the U.S. economy.

Iran’s leaders may also believe that they can demoralize rather than rally the American people by attacking them at home.

The Islamonazis surely think that the dramatic spike in oil prices that will result from their planned shutdown of the Persian Gulf will trigger a global recession, and that a frightened, war-weary world will blame “the Zionists” (code for Israel and the Jewish people) and the U.S. for wrecking the global system.

Finally, Iran believes that it can count on Moscow and Beijing to broker a U.N.-sponsored end to the conflict.

Perhaps most important, although the mad mullahs and their maniac-in-chief know that Obama (of “the Muslim world”) will have to respond to major assaults on American cities with massive air strikes on Iranian targets, they probably assume, as indicated above, that Iran will be able to withstand the aerial attacks until the international community and craven U.S. media outlets pressure Obama into ending the offensive. (A U.S. land war in Iran is obviously out of the question.)

Iran may also be planning to pay North Korea to provoke a major international crisis–maybe even to the point of attacking U.S. troops stationed in South Korea–so as to create the two-front war that the Obama administration has inexplicably announced it will no longer be prepared to fight.

In short, war with Iran is inevitable, and Iran intends to fight the war on its terms, in its way–and that includes killing Americans where they live.

If 19 Al Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001 could kill nearly 3,000 Americans on American soil, imagine what Iran’s SS-like IRGC is capable of doing in 2012.

Well we all know the old saying, ” If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,” the best that can be said for Mitt Romney is that he is a………………

The unmasking of Mitt Romney RINO Man.

Mitt Romney as the record will clearly show below cannot be trusted. What he says he has accomplished during the debates and what he has in fact accomplished are more often than not diametrically opposed. 

We have just endured perhaps the most dishonest person in U.S. History to occupy the White House.  Do we really need his runner-up in 2013? 

Wake up people this guy is a complete fraud. I haven’t proved it yet, Romney could be a Kenyan name. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m Jim Campbell and I approve this message.

The information in this report is gleaned from public records, press accounts, internet web sites and research. We have analyzed his legislation, met with his staff, lobbied for and against his agenda (depending what it is) and otherwise compiled considerable research on his administration.

We believe this report is necessary due to a calculated effort by the Romney campaign to revise his history and portray the Governor as far more conservative than the record indicates. Already, the Governor’s staff is making appointments with the nation’s leading conservative leaders to convince them that he should be the standard-bearer for the conservative movement in the upcoming presidential elections.

 Mitt Romney as Governor

Romney’s dismal record as the Republican leader in Massachusetts

• Romney pledged to build the Massachusetts Republican Party, but in fact he did almost nothing. During his tenure there were two elections for the entire Legislature (2004 and 2006). In each election the Republicans lost seats. Republicans now hold the fewest seats in the Legislature since the Civil War.
• During the four years of Romney’s tenure, the number of registered Republicans in Massachusetts fell by 31,000. During that same period, the Massachusetts Democratic Party gained 30,000.
  - Boston Globe 11/2/2006
• In the 2006 elections, most offices were not even challenged by Republican candidates. In the November general election for the six statewide Massachusetts constitutional offices there were more Green-Rainbow Party candidates on the ballot than Republicans!

The party’s slide has been so precipitous that Republicans yesterday did not contest 130 of 200 legislative seats, fielded a challenger in only three of 10 congressional districts, and put up fewer candidates for statewide office (three) than the Green-Rainbow Party (four).
- Boston Globe, 11/8/2006

• In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican Governors Association – a group dedicated to electing more Republican governors – his own hand-picked Republican successor as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign. He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate the day before the general election!

“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,” said [Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party].
- Boston Globe, 11/8/2006

• “Romney arrived on the scene with great promise, but is leaving the Republican Party here in shambles. Not only are the Republicans yielding the governor’s office for the first time in 16 years, but registered Republicans have fallen by 31,000 since Romney took office, and their legislative presence is at historic lows. But it worked out fine for him: He is now chasing the prize he really covets, the presidency.”
  - Boston Globe 11/8/2006
• “The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday. The cause of death: failed leadership. The party is survived by a few leftover legislators and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists who have been ignored for years. Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow. In lieu of flowers, send messages to New Hampshire Republican voters warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
  - Boston Herald, 11/12/2006

Gun Control

Romney favors “Assault” Weapons Ban

• “He [Romney] is a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban.”
  - Romney 2002 campaign website

Romney Favors Waiting Periods

• Regarding the Brady Bill which required waiting periods to buy a handgun, Romney stated, “I don’t think [the waiting period] will have a massive effect on crime but I think it will have a positive effect.”
  - Boston Herald, 8/1/1994

Economic Issues

Romney supports minimum wage laws

• In as a candidate for Governor 2002, Romney proposed indexing the Massachusetts minimum wage with inflation, telling the Boston Globe “I do not believe that indexing the minimum wage will cost us jobs. I believe it will help us retain jobs.” – - Boston Globe, 7/25/2002
• “The minimum wage is important to our economy and Mitt Romney supports minimum wage increase, at least in line with inflation.”
  - Romney 2002 campaign website
• Romney Balances Budget with $500 Million in New Fees
  • “His first budget, presented under a cloud of a $2 billion deficit, balanced the budget with some spending cuts, but a $500 million increase in various fees was the largest component of the budget fix.” Cato Institute annual Fiscal Policy Report Card – America’s Governors, 2004. Romney was rated a “C” overall by Cato.
    See presentation on Cato website

  

  Romney imposes “socialized” health care on Massachusetts

  • In 2006, Romney introduced a universal health care bill (which passed the Legislature in a slightly amended version) which has been criticized by conservatives as being socialistic.

Republican Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is trying to accomplish in his final year in office what Democrats can only dream of these days: boosting government spending on and regulation of health care and requiring individuals to purchase government-designed policies. Romney’s plan, which is backed by such liberals as Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, Mass.), is being pitched as a compact between citizens and the state.
- National Review Online, 1/26/2006The main supporter and cheerleader of Romney’s health plan has been, interestingly, the Heritage Foundation. However, there would appear to be just a bit of a conflict of interest in that. According to news reports, Romney’s charitable foundation recently donated $25,000 to the Heritage Foundation. And Heritage Foundation helped Romney research and write his health plan.

Abortion Issues

Romney supports abortion in general, and believes in sustaining Roe v. Wade.

• “Romney ran against Senator Edward M. Kennedy in 1994. During a debate, Romney declared: ‘I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a US Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it.’ “
  (NOTE: Romney has supported abortion since before the 1972 Roe v. Wade ruling!)
  - Boston Globe, 3/2/2006
  Video of Romney vs. Kennedy in 1994 debate
• “When [during their debate] Kennedy called him ‘multiple choice,’ Romney demanded an extra rebuttal. He revealed that a close relative died of an illegal abortion years ago and said, ‘Since that time, my mother and my family have been committed to the belief that we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that matter, and you will not see my wavering on that.‘ “
  - Boston Globe, 3/2/2006

• Romney campaigned for Governor of Massachusetts as a pro-choice candidate, and was endorsed by a pro-abortion political group

  • “Romney, a Republican and the former Winter Olympics chief, was endorsed by the New York-based Republican Pro-Choice Coalition. He mentioned his mother, Lenore Romney, who favored abortion rights when she ran for the U.S. Senate in 1970, even before the 1973 Roe v. Wade case affirmed women’s constitutional right to abortions. . . . Lynn Grefe, director of the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, applauded Romney’s ‘commitment to family planning and protecting a woman’s right to choose’ in a letter on Wednesday.”
    - Associated Press / New Bedford Standard-Times 10/3/2002
  • “Gubernatorial candidates Shannon O’Brien and Mitt Romney sparred yesterday over who was the strongest abortion rights supporter by touting endorsements from abortion rights groups and challenging each other’s records on the issue . . . O’Brien and Romney both say that if elected they’ll uphold state and federal laws protecting abortion rights. ‘There isn’t a dime of difference between Mitt Romney’s position on choice and Shannon O’Brien,’ said Kerry Healey, Romney’s running mate.”

      - American Spectator, 2/23/2005

  “Governor Romney has been touring the country in the past few weeks, courting anti-gay right-wingers in South Carolina, Missouri, and Utah with speeches designed to show that he is firmly in their camp. Yet a look at Romney’s record shows that his Rick Santorum drag act is a relatively new phenomenon.“

Think Progress

By Faiz Shakir

Let’s get something straight, this was another politically expedient, politically correct move by the current administration to not upset those who have and want to kill Americans.  Just one more example of  brother Obama’s love for Islam. Perhaps he should be asked to speak.  My apology here but this is an absolute crock of Obama!

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message

Just today, Boykin was scheduled to speak at the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast in Ocean City, Maryland. People for the American Way and the Council on American-Islamic Relations had waged a vigorous campaign against his appearance.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

Update: EXCLUSIVE: Earlier today, ThinkProgress reported that ret. Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin — an individual who steadfastly believes that Islam is “a totalitarian way of life” and deserves no Constitutional protection — will be the invited guest speaker at West Point’s National Prayer Breakfast.

On Feb. 8, 2012, the United States Military Academy at West Point is planning to host a National Prayer Breakfast featuring ret. Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin, an individual who has a long record of issuing hate-filled rhetoric about Muslims.

Here’s what Boykin has said about Muslims in the past: there should be “no mosques in America“; Muslims worship an “idol“; “Islam is a totalitarian way of life, it’s not just a religion”; “it should not be protected under the First Amendment”; Muslims operate “under an obligation to destroy our Constitution.”

In the early days of the Iraq war, Boykin served in the Defense Department as a senior intelligence officer. Around that time, he appeared in full military dress at various churches, spouting bigoted rhetoric that casted the military conflicts as part of a religious crusade between Christians and the devil. In a 2004 report, the Pentagon Inspector General admonished Boykin for violating numerous internal regulations. “We recommend that the Acting Secretary of the Army take appropriate corrective action with respect to Lt. Gen. Boykin,” the report said.

VoteVets, a coalition of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, released a letter today, asking West Point President to rescind the invitation to Boykin. Jon Soltz, Iraq War Veteran and Richard Allen Smith, an Afghanistan War Veteran, write:

As has been articulated by GEN Petraeus, [statements similar to Boykin’s] remarks threaten our relationships with Muslims around the world, and thereby, our troops serving in harm’s way. LTG Boykin’s values are inconsistent even with current Army doctrine that is taught at the Joint Readiness Training Center, National Training Center and the Combined Arms Center, which instructs Army leaders to respect the Muslim culture as a part of counterinsurgency operations. It is counterproductive for our future Army leaders to hear the views of LTG Boykin, a man whose views are inconsistent with the values of the Army as an institution. [...]

Sir, as Veterans, we have the utmost faith in your leadership. As Veterans of these wars and men who have served in combat alongside Muslim Americans, we respectfully request that you retract LTG Boykin’s invite to the USMA Prayer Breakfast. The presence of LTG Boykin at West Point would violate Army Values, as well as potentially be used as propaganda by the enemy and endanger our troops in combat.

Read the full letter here.

The Baltimore Sun endorsed that effort this week, writing, “Make no mistake: This is not an issue of freedom of speech or of any of the constitution’s protections for religious expression that Mr. Boykin seems so eager to deny to those who don’t share his own Christian faith.” Boykin has every right to speak, but organizations that invite him “need to make clear whether they agree with Mr. Boykin’s views.” If not, they should not sponsor his hate speech.

We have contacted West Point to seek a reply, and we will post an update if we hear back.

Perhaps this may be overstating the problem.  It makes perfect sense for SEALs to have such a platform to conduct covert operations, including assassinations of key targets,  and the sabotage of Iranian missile sites, and other key elements of its infrastructure. 

The recent agreement by the vast majority of the world to no longer do business with the Iranian Central bank Tejarat the 23rd Iranian-linked financial institution to be blacklisted by the U.S. since 2006. The list includes all of Iran’s largest state-owned banks.

A hurried decision not to de-commission the USS Ponce helicopter marine carrier after duty in Libya – but to refit it for deployment by May in the Persian Gulf as a floating base for commando teams – was confirmed by the US Pentagon and Navy Sunday, Dec. 29.

USS Ponce – future SEALs Persian Gulf platform

This transportable floating base will expand the commandos’ range in coastal areas and support counter-measure against mines which Iran has threatened to plant in the Strait of Hormuz in reprisal for the US-EU oil embargo. The SEALs will also take on Iran’s menacing fleet of military speedboats.

Debkafile reports Tehran operates four different kinds of these craft in the Persian Gulf:
1. Small, fast vessels, each armed with a small missile for striking tankers and coastal oil targets around the Gulf region, such as export terminals. Earlier this month, Tehran claimed to have developed stealth cruise missiles capable of disabling aircraft carriers with a single shot.
2. Small, extra-fast boats armed with torpedoes. Iranian publications claim several such boats are capable of stealing up on US aircraft carriers and large warships from several directions without being detected and cause serious damage.
3. Floating bombs for kamikaze missions. These fast boats cannot be deflected after locking in on target, whether on sea or shore, and explode on contact.
Iran used these floating missiles piloted by suicide squads to attack oil tankers in the Gulf in November 1987. Since then, their naval tacticians have upgraded this fleet with the technology gained from the British Bladerunner 51, a model of which Iran purchased some years ago.
Since early January, the Pentagon has reported four cases of harassment by Iranian military boats sailing close to American warships in the Persian Gulf.
4. Boats carrying teams of Iranian marine frogmen trained for secret suicide underwater missions: One member of the boat’s three-man crew dives close to the targeted ship and attaches a magnetic bomb to its hull. (more below)

Iran has scattered hundreds of speedboats of different types around uninhabited islands off the Iranian mainland, tucking them out of sight in well-hidden inlets and bays. The US commando teams based on the Ponce platform will have the task of ferreting out and destroying this fleet.
The US Defense Department aims to get the Ponce ready for its new mission as a floating commando base with all possible speed. To save time, the US military published one no-bid contract for the engineering work, waiving normal procurement rules on the grounds that any delay presented a “national security risk.”
The contract carries pointers to the timeline expected in Washington for a military confrontation to erupt between the United States and Iran, as well as the form it may take, say debkafile’s military sources.
The target date for deploying the commando platform in the Persian Gulf in four or five months indicates Washington is preparing for military clashes to blow up with Iran in the late spring or early summer.
But according to debkafile’s Iranian and military sources, the Iranian administration has expressed its determination to respond instantly to any diplomatic or military move or action of an offensive nature against the Islamic Republic. And so confrontation may come earlier than anticipated.
Sunday, the Iranian parliament was due to vote on a motion to cut off oil supplies to Europe in response to the EU embargo declared last week. Tehran has made it clear it has no intention of standing idle until US and European oil sanctions go fully into effect on July 1 and knows that EU nations are not set up to forego 400,000 barrels of oil a day right now.
Saudi Arabia, which pledged to make up the shortfall arising from oil sanctions against Iran, will not have the missing quantities on stream before May – at about the same time as the Ponce and its complement of SEAL commandoes are due to take up position in the Persian Gulf. Tehran may decide not to wait and opt for letting its speedboats loose before then to try and pre-empt American and European plans.

Perhaps DNC Chairman (yes I said man because she’s no lady), Debbie Wasserman Schultz should have concluded here interview shown below when she spoke of Congresswoman Giffords. 

Perhaps she might follow Giffords lead and resign her seat as on her best day she is nothing but a  tired, partisan, hack with the same old sound bites. “The Republican’s are going to take Social Security away, privatize Medicare benefits?   And you whine about an RNC add as being “unfair, there you go again with using that word, “unfair,” when you orchestrated this complete lie?

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

See Congressman West’s comments to she’s no lady Wasser MAN

DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on Fox and Friends to tackle some attacks from the Right, including a new RNC ad that uses clips of her voicing support for Hillary Clinton back in 2008. The Florida congresswoman shot back by defending Barack Obama’s record during his presidency and reiterating her support for him.

When asked about comments made by RNC chairman Reince Priebus in which he compared President Obama to Captain Schettino, the captain of the wrecked Costa Concordia, she said, “The captain of the Costa Concordia has been charged with manslaughter, and for the RNC chairman to compare the President of the United States to someone who has been charged with manslaughter shows a dramatic level of insensitivity to the families of those victims. Unbelievable comparison.”  ( Not necessarily Deb the jury is still out on whether Obama will be in some way in violation of something far worse as in the death of

Wasserman Schultz called Hillary Clinton an “amazing Secretary of State under President Barack Obama” and said she was raised to believe that “a little girl in America could grow up and be anything she wanted to be, even president of the United States.”

Commentary by Jim Campbell

Only those with in a Obama led administration that has no coherent foreign policy would believe that any agreements made with the Taliban would result in any different outcome than in our departure from Iraq. 

Thanks again for losing another war Obama. Significant gains toward a democracy in the area were made by  sacrificing gains on behalf of the Afgan people, blood spilled, limbs lost and those who gave their lives of  US and coalition troops who follow a washed up politician rather than a Commander-in-Chief.

Once again Obama pandered for votes putting his election ahead of a foreign policy that would have led to a different outcome.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

The Taliban’s leadership council has decided against holding peace talks with Hamid Karzai’s regime under any circumstances, unnamed Taliban sources said Jan. 30, Afghan Islamic Press reported.

The Taliban will only hold prisoner exchange talks and will not accept a ceasefire or the current Afghan constitution, the sources said.

 Taliban leadership remains united on the issue, but the Taliban would split into two groups if its leaders held peace talks with the Karzai regime, a Taliban military commander said. Current peace talks with the United States have failed to establish a Taliban office or allow Taliban representatives who have travelled to Qatar to move about freely, a source said.

Soros: Not much difference between Romney and Obama

Sounds like he is calling Romney Obama light.  All of Romney’s money couldn’t have been spent to block this endorsement.

Any doubt where Boy George’s hand would be in a Romney Presidency?

The biggest revelation here was Soros the ultimate man of principle his hedge funds buddies have positioned their funds for a Obama lost.  Soros’ assertion that a Santorum win would mean a Gingrich or Santorum vice presidency is as absurd as many of the comments he make in this interview.

George Soros would suggest that there isn’t a lot of difference between Obama and Romney and that if Romney were the nominee, there wouldn’t be a lot of enthusiasm on either side of the aisle.

However if Newt or Santorum wins, Soros believes just the opposite would be true:
