I don't feel sorry for any of them, there are so many sources of News and they stay with the one that differs from everyone else because they tell them what they want to hear/  Doesn't matter if it's a lie, or defies logic.  Like Benghazi, there is no conceivable reason to lie about a terrorist attack vs random violence against the US.  But they are stuck on it, making up their own facts to prove it.

The day before the election I was speaking to a republican co-worker and he was telling me how out-of-touch the left was about the election, and mentioned that some liberal pollster on Fox was predicting Obama would take Texas.  I tried to explain that like Combs of old, they bring on these people, slap the liberal sticker on them, and them trot them out to scorn at ridiculous.

Oh, and the gays - lotta hate for them, too.

And Muslims, all of whom are either terrorists, or related to terrorists and who all harbor fantasies of destroying America even if they are living exemplary lives; it's just an act, you know.

Sometimes I want to ask these people if they aren't just exhausted from maintaining such a constant level of anger and hate.  Or if they ever worry they will run out of hate before they run out of things to hate.

During the meeting, an aide to an influential House conservative told TPM, "the GOP conference is still much more conservative than it is moderate, and folks in the House are not going to compromise their principles because a Democrat-crafted and media-driven narrative told them to do so."

* Increases Benefits for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities. Currently, Social Security benefits are adjusted by the Consumer Price Index for workers. However, costs and spending patterns for seniors do not mirror those of the workforce. That is why Sen. Begich's bill calls for adjusting cost-of-living increases with a Consumer Price Index specifically for the elderly which was created to more accurately measure the costs of goods and services seniors actually buy.

* Lifts the Cap on High-Income Contributions.
Current law sets a cap based on income at $113,700 for paying into Social Security. If an individual's wages hit that total for the year, they no longer pay into the program. Sen. Begich's bill lifts the cap and asks higher income earners to pay Social Security on all their earnings in order to increase the program's revenue stream and extend the overall solvency of the program.

* Extends Social Security for approximately 75 years through modest revenue increases gradually implemented over the course of seven years.

Something tells me that, just like single-payer, this is another obvious solution that will be taken "off the table."  The Boehners and McConnells and Pelosis and Hoyers and Conrads aren't going to let Begich into the club - and neither is Obama.

And speaking for myself only, you can have them all to yourself, too. Twinkies -- BLECCHHH!!! Once they're no more, you can always melt down 1.5 ounces of processed white sugar in a spoon over an open flame, and then use a syringe to inject it directly into your bloodstream.

;-D

In this area Taylor Swift looks heavily painted up more like a Sixties woman than MF.

the Bush administration's use of international (cross-border) warrantless wiretapping through the National Security Agency, saying: "I believe the program is essential to U.S. national security and that its disclosure has damaged critical intelligence capabilities." Harman suggested that both the original "despicable" whistleblowers and The New York Times, which broke the story, should be investigated, and in the case of The Times, "limits on press immunity" should be looked into.

... at the beginning, that we all want to know what happened in Benghazi?

I know Scott's perfectly capable of speaking for himself, but from my perspective, I think he's rightly taking issue with those people who are mindlessly condemning the Obama's administation's actions in the wake of this incident for their own transparently obvious political reasons, and further, are doing so without any due regard on their own part for fact and truth.

It's not about nothing to see, it about nothing there of any significance, certainly nothing that will go back to Obama.  The worse they are going to 'uncover' IMO is that the process to get security and who makes that call was flawed process. they might even find a couple of people who made bad decision and deal with them.
