Rep. Steve King Says Government Shutdown Will Be President Obama's Fault

.
These guys aren't even pretending to live on this planet anymore.



http://www.forwardprogressives.com/rep-steve-king-says-any-government-shutdown-will-be-the-fault-of-obama-tantrum-not-republicans/

"This is by far my favorite argument that I’ve seen coming from Republicans when it comes to pretty much anything.  It’s so absurd that it just makes me wish for a moment I could be inside their heads, because I would love to see what reality is like on their planet.

Because, based on comments such as those of Republican Rep. Steve King, many of them sure as heck aren’t living on this one.

See, according to Rep. King, if the government does end up getting shut down it won’t be the fault of Republicans—it’ll all be President Obama’s fault.

Let’s take a look at his “reasoning” for this:

“So the House will make sure that the funds are available.  And if the president should decide he’s going to shut down the government, it will never be the House of Representatives, if this happens it will be either an act of either Harry Reid and the Democrats in the Senate or the president or them working in conjunction with each other.  If the president decides to shut the government down, it will be the equivalent of a political tantrum, saying ‘I will have my piece of signature legislation even if the American people reject it and I’ll punish you by shutting the government down if I don’t get my way.’”

And he’s dead serious.

Basically, because the House passed legislation that funds the government but strips funding for the Affordable Care Act (which the president has clearly stated he would veto if it ever reached his desk — and it won’t), that’s King’s reasoning behind how this is President Obama’s fault.

>>>
Their reasoning is that the American people have "spoken" and we don't want 'ObamaCare'.

Desipte all the data coming in that it(ACA) is popular once people know that it will help them.

They keep spouting teabagger and Faux News taliking points that are pushed by the likes of the Koch(sucking) brothers that all of America is against.

I hope they keep this idiocy up through 2016.

John Kerry Costs U.S. Defense Industry $400 Billion

STORY HERE

Gotta love The Onion!

“Responding to initial reports that Syria may relinquish its stockpile of chemical weapons following Secretary of State John Kerry’s assertion that doing so would decrease the likelihood of American military strikes, representatives for the domestic defense industry complained to reporters Tuesday that the top-ranking diplomat may have cost them $400 billion in revenue. “We were ready to produce and sell tomahawk missiles, advanced combat systems, and more unmanned predator drones, but instead our Secretary of State had to run his big fat mouth about options for averting war, and now we’re out hundreds of billions of dollars,” said a visibly upset Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn A. Hewson, who along with her fellow executives at Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and General Dynamics complained that because the initial invasion would have more than likely led to a protracted, wide-ranging international conflict, Kerry might have even cost them trillions.”

I wouldn’t put it past the companies to bitch about it. They’re probably doing it anyway behind closed doors.

Secret Quarter-Billion-Dollar Koch Brothers Political Operation Revealed

.
STORY HERE

If Democrats had done this all the damn Right Wing Nuts,Teabaggers and every conservative in the country would be screaming about voter fraud, vote fixng, illegal funding or whatever Fox News, Pedophile Drug Addict OxyRush Limbaugh, Glen "Cry Baby" Beck told them to get mad about.

There would be crying and gnashing of teeth while yelling for IMPEACHMENT, RECALL ELECTIONS, and any other means they could think of to get Democrats out of office.
>>>>
Politico.com, the Washington insider website, has the money-in-politics scoop of the year: It has unmasked a previously unknown political money laundering operation, set up by the energy billionaires and libertarian Koch brothers, that raised $256 million and secretly spent almost all of it last year against Democrats.
>>>>
The fact that secretive right-wingers could amass and spend a quarter-billion dollars in a presidential election cycle and go undetected under federal campaign finance law is an astounding indictment of the American electoral system, revealing that all the laws intending to inform the public about who is slinging political mud are meaningless. The mockery goes even further when considering the section of the federal tax code the group is operating under: 501(c)6. That designation is for trade associations, which lets the group conceal its donors.
>>>>
The last sentence says it all.

"In other words, a new era of class warfare in America is just beginning.

I'm beginning to fear more and more for the common ordinary people of America and for America's future.
