President Obama in his weekly address; Now, I don’t have a problem with any company or industry being rewarded for their success. The incentive of healthy profits is what fuels entrepreneurialism and helps drives our economy forward. But I do have a problem with the unwarranted taxpayer subsidies we’ve been handing out to oil and [...]
We’ve already heard the outcry from many Americans about the shame they felt when they watched President Obama succumb to the racism of the Birthers movement. The Reverend Al Sharpton and Professor Michael Eric Dyson expressed their thoughts on The Ed Show. And Mr. Dyson said it best; Here is a man, Barack Obama. As brilliant [...]
Ron Paul, the Libertarian who caucuses with Republicans in Congress, wants to get rid of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security… and he’s running for President of the United States in 2012 with those cuts on his agenda. Mr. Paul appeared on MSNBC and was interviewed by Host Cenk Uygur. Mr. Uygur asked Mr. Paul whether or not he will “transition” [...]
Democrats have filed a complaint with the FEC — Federal Elections Commission — against Mitt Romney, accusing Mr. Romney and his election campaign office of funneling “soft money” into his presidential bid. According to the report; Strict limits exist under the Federal Election Campaign Act on contributions an individual can make to a federal election campaign, [...]
Cover Your kids Ears, Donald Trump Is Talking! It takes a very special audience to applaud this speech, and my use of the word “special” is a reference to an audience who has more than a few screws loose. In a speech yesterday, the hero of the KKK, and the Republican’s apparent choice for their 2012 Presidential candidate, showed just how [...]
Although Dr. Phill tried to defend his “friend” Donald Trump, on last night’s Late Night with David Letterman, the host did not feel Trump’s actions and choice of words over the last few months were appropriate. Mr. Letterman labeled Trump’s statements and actions as that of a racists, and suggests that Trump may not get [...]
And now, this Republican Representative is using the floor of the House to give her expertise on why more blacks are in prisons. Her reason? Blacks don’t work as hard as whites do in school. Her name is Sally Kern, the Republican Representative in Oklahoma. It is just because they’re black that they’re in prison, [...]
A very emotional response to the unbelievable disrespect that the most powerful man in the world, the President Of The United States, suffered yesterday. Being subjected to the obvious racism of a small minority of so-called Americans, who simply cannot accept the fact that a black man won the presidential election and now, is the leader of the free [...]
Mitt Romney recently made a statement that caused his opponents to question whether the Republican presidential wanna-be is ready for the demands of the office. Mr. Romney, questioned the spending of President Obama in an editorial he wrote for the Manchester Union Leader, saying “Barack Obama is facing a financial emergency…yet his approach has been to engage [...]
“I’ve come to New Hampshire today because I’m very concerned,” Rand Paul, the freshman Teaparty winner in Kentucky said. “I want to see the original long-form certificate of Donald Trump’s Republican registration.” There was light laughter in the room, when Mr. Paul made the request during a breakfast speech on Thursday at the Merrimack County Republican [...]
The crazy woman who started the whole Birther movement, Orly Taitz, appeared on The Lawrence O’Donnell Show last night. She was given a chance to apologize for the lie she successfully began, convincing almost half of all Republicans into believing that President Obama was born in Kenya, but instead side-stepped the question, creating a showdown between [...]
Who would have thought attending an event as American as apple pie, could wind up getting you thrown in the slammer! Nicole Sandler, a former Air America radio host and a regular fill in for progressive radio host Randi Rhodes, seems to have made that mistake. She went to her congressman’s town hall earlier in [...]
Recently, I wrote a article on this blog titled ‘Why Blacks Left The Republican Party’ which sparked a discussion between a co-writer here at EzKool.com, Son Of Man and I. I’ve posted it here: Son Of Man: Yes, the vast majority of black people in the United States have been loyal to the Democratic party [...]
You can’t make this stuff up. A new USA Today/Gallop poll finds that almost 40% of Americans have doubts as to whether Donald Trump is a natural born citizen. The poll, which questioned 1,013 adults finds that “not everyone is convinced Trump was born in the USA either: 43% say he definitely was born here, [...]
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. Now, let me just comment, first of all, on the fact that I can’t get the networks to break in on all kinds of other discussions — (laughter.) I was just back there listening to Chuck — he was saying, it’s amazing that he’s not going to be talking about national [...]
World Net Daily, the conservative website that contributed heavily to spreading the birther conspiracy, found no consolation in President Obama releasing his official long form certificate today. The site continued without missing a beat, insisting now, that there must be some unexplained reason why the president waited all this time to release the document. This in, according [...]
It’s official…again. Two years after President Obama first released the official birth certificate approved by the state of Hawaii, Donald Trump and his Birthers forced the non-issue of his citizenship. Today, President Obama has released the version of his birth certificate the Birthers wanted: The official Long Form Certificate Of Live Birth But as the [...]
Jan Brewer appeared on CNN this week to discuss her veto of the latest attempt by the Birthers movement to stop President Obama’s re-election campaign. The bill, if it was signed into law in Arizona would have required all elected officials to give proof of citizenship before their name would be allowed on the Arizona [...]
This town hall by Republican Representative Dan Webster is being considered by most as the most “raucous” yet, where those in attendance shouted down the freshman representative and were even scolded by the police. A town-hall meeting held in Orlando by U.S. Rep. Dan Webster degenerated into bedlam Tuesday, with members of the crowd shouting down [...]
So you came to this post because of the words “Premature Ecalculation?” Your mind is so much in the gutter! Jon Stewart explains what the words mean, and how it refers to Donald Trump. The Daily Show – Indecision 2012 – Premature Ecalculation Tags: Daily Show Full Episodes,Political Humor & Satire Blog,The Daily Show on [...]
In addition to Haley Babour’s decision yesterday to give up his presidential aspirations for 2012, about a half-dozen other Republican presidential wannabes decided to jump off the bandwagon and focus on “serving the people at home.” Among them are Senator John Thune of South Dakota, Mike Pence of Indiana, Jeb Bush of Florida and Chris [...]
This case is closed. CNN has done what many other organizations have done, and they have found the same answer – that President Obama was in fact, born in Hawaii. The Birthers must be crazy! The revelation, although everyone with a brain knew it to be true, must have come as a shock to the [...]
The new date is set. The time, the place and oh yeah… the name. Keith Olbermann’s new show is not really new. It maintains the same name – Countdown With Keith Olbermann – and it maintains the same time slot - 8PM Est, 11PM Est and 2AM EST. But according to the video release by Mr. Olbermann, [...]
It is a policy that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Giving oil companies billions of taxpayers dollars every year in subsidies, at a time when these same companies are making billions of dollars in profits. And the decision to continue these subsidies depends on what side of the political aisle you’re on. Democrats think the [...]
For almost two years, Glenn Beck reigned as the top crazy of the Republican Conservative nutty right-wing movement. He was their leader, their savior, their king. But even the most ardent supporter of Glenn Beck watched as his Titanic-like iceberg slowly approached, and they abandoned ship before the inevitable. But Beck’s people needed a leader, [...]
Paul Ryan, the unfortunate scapegoat for the congressional Republicans, is getting it from all sides. Even some of his fellow Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted for his budget, are now turning their backs on Ryan’s plan. But why would they do that? He’s such a nice looking young man! Well, at least [...]
The brainiac that is Rush Limbaugh has figured out the whole raising the debt ceiling thing, and according to Mr. Limbaugh, not raising the debt ceiling means nothing, except that “we wont be able to borrow any more.” Here’s The Brain at work, while talking to a caller to his radio show; LIMBAUGH: Here’s the [...]
For what ever reason (I can’t figure it out) Conservatives were happy to see Haley Barbour as a possible Republican nominee for the 2012 Presidential Election. Their hopes and dreams got shattered today, when Barbour announced, “I will not be a candidate for president next year.” From his statement; “I will not be a candidate [...]
On Easter Sunday, a day when Christians from all denominations come together to celebrate the day Jesus rose from the dead, Reverend Franklin Graham was on television continuing to foster a lie that has been debunked by numerous reputable news organizations – and that is that President Obama has somehow deceived the American people by not supplying [...]
The Donald recently told NBC that he has his very own investigators in Hawaii, and their sole purpose is to find out the truth about President Obama’s place of birth. ”I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they’re finding,” Trump told NBC. On Thursday, about a month after making the [...]
We’ve been saying it forever. Despite what the Conservatives and Republicans want you to believe, there is no such thing as ”left winged media.” The truth is, there is a right winged media, and just about all it covers is everything the Right does. Remember the town hall meetings of 2009? Remember the Teaparty rallies and marches [...]
And why should he? He’s The Donald for crying out loud! He don’t need to vote in no stinkin’ primary! That’s a waste of his time, and quite frankly, his money. We are talking about the Trump here… There’s casinos to bankrupt, there’s hairspray to buy. Why waste time voting in a primary?!? According to th New [...]
“It’s like a big hustle,” De Niro said of The Donald’s birthers act. “It’s like being a car salesman. Don’t go out there and say things unless you can back them up.” That was Robert DeNiro’s response to what Donald Trump is doing with the birther issue. DeNiro was giving an onstage interview with NBC News [...]
Simply put- because the party that was once crucial in the emancipation of African Americans, has turned into one that promotes hate, lies, and intolerance. During the 1860′s, when Lincoln was President, the Republican party was considered the liberal party that was against slavery. Blacks mostly voted Republican after the Civil War and through the [...]
Instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy sources, we need to invest in tomorrow’s. We need to invest in clean, renewable energy. In the long-term, that’s the answer. That’s the key to helping families at the pump and reducing our dependence on foreign oil. That was the message from President Obama, as he delivered his weekly message. [...]
Let’s look at the meaning of the word Environmentalist. According to the dictionary, an environmentalist is any person who advocates or works to protect the air,water, animals, plants, and other natural resources from pollution or its effects. Now, let’s see what the Bible says about Environmentalists and the protecting of our environment. There are many other scripture verses that remind us that God not only created the Earth, but also [...]
The short-sighted freshmen Republican congressmen were so blinded by the euphoria of robbing the middle class and giving to the rich, they forgot that they would need these same middle class Americans to donate more money for their re-election campaigns. Now, the reality is becoming very apparent – you can’t squeeze blood from a rock. [...]
I’m usually not a big fan of Ed Shultz. I know his passion for the issues, but there are times when he allows his passion to take over the debate and, in my opinion, losing focus of the bigger picture. So for that reason, 10PM is usually the time I switch from MSNBC. But last [...]
Senator John Ensign. Do we need to say more? We can end this post right here and everyone would walk away with a picture in their minds of a Republican Senator who had an affair with a Cynthia Hampton, the wife of a former top aide, Doug Hampton. And everyone will remember Mr. Ensign’s parents [...]
Earlier in the week, we reported that petitions were already filed to repeal four Republican senators in Wisconsin. Tomorrow, Democrats will file another petition, gathering thousands of signatures more than what is required to file. Dems will file a massive amount of signatures tomorrow to trigger a recall election against a fifth Wisconsin GOP state [...]
__ My dear sir, I challenge you to a duel! These words most easily explain what is going on between Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee. Mr. Huchabee, a 2008 Republican presidential candidate fell on Glenn Beck’s wrong side because of his support for First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign which addresses childhood obesity. Mike Huckabee even went [...]
Republican Paul Ryan is able to go on television and proclaim the myth that taking money from seniors and giving it to billionaires in the form of a Tax cut is the way to get America back on the economic track. On television, with the media bought and paid for by some of these same [...]
In a poll conducted by Pew Hispanic Research Center, studies found that minority voters are on the rise while white voters are declining. The Poll compared the 2008 election to 2004 and found the following: In 2008, Latino eligible voters accounted for 9.5% of all eligible voters, up from 8.2% in 2004. Similarly, the share [...]
President Obama appeared today at an event sponsored by Facebook. In case you missed it, below is a portion of the President’s meeting.
It’s almost an unbelievable figure – 916. That’s the amount of legislation that Republicans introduced from January to April, trying to regulate a woman’s reproductive system. It’s absolutely stunning! This information comes from a report by The Guttmacher Institute, and it finds that 49 states have contributed to this number with various bills geared towards [...]
Michele Bachmann appeared on Good Morning America and was asked about Donald Trump and the whole Birther conspiracy. Mrs Bachmann answered that she thinks we should “move on, end of story.” The Republican representative was responding to host George Stephanopoulos when he presented her with a copy of President Obama’s certificate. Mr. Stephanopoulous then went [...]
The count is now up to four. That’s how many petitions have been filed to recall the Republican senators who supported Governor Walker’s decision to strip Wisconsin workers of their union rights. Democrats got the required 15,000 signatures needed to add the latest senators Luther Olsen and Sheila Harsdorf to the recall list. Meanwhile, progressives [...]
We didn’t think she had it in her. But today, Jan Brewer vetoed a bill passed by both the Arizona Senate and House, and would have required all Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates to prove they are United States citizens. The bill, which was sponsored in part and written to appease the Birther movement, would [...]
Crazy is crazy, no matter where it comes from. It is, and will always be, crazy! But if you ask some conservative Republicans, their crazy is their crazy, and they want the world to know it. With that said, using someone’s crazy without attributing it to them, is in itself, crazy… and plagiarism. And according [...]
After President Obama presented his speech on reducing the federal debt, Republicans went on a crying spree, accusing the President of not playing fair, and “making a partisan speech.” All of a sudden, the very same Republicans who have stood in the way of every single piece of legislation the Obama administration has put forth, [...]
You will have to check a calendar to believe the year is 2011, because if you simply rely on the stink that’s emitting from the Republican party today, you will swear that we’ve traveled back in time to the 1800′s. Orange County in California is slowly becoming the epicenter of the racist element of the Republican party. Back in 2009, [...]
No one with common sense really takes Donald Trump seriously, but being the noisiest wheel that he is, Trump has forced one of the web’s most respected organizations to check into his Birther accusations. The Donald and the Birthers believe the president was born in Kenya, and is therefore not a legitimate president. Enter FactCheck.org – the group that [...]
Sarah Palin, in a weak attempt to get back into the spotlight again, rushed into Madison Wisconsin to deliver a “unions-bad-people-bad-corporations-good” message. But according to Wisconsin police and those in the audience, the message fell on deaf ears as a majority of the 6500 in attendance were there to protest the once beloved Sarah. Sarah [...]
Back when all American presidents were automatically considered “American” because… they just were, and no one questioned whether birth certificates were authentic, Donald Trump made his first run for the White House. The year was 1999, and he ran as a Republican. After losing, The Donald saw a way to make some cash and wrote [...]
Something we already knew, but now the record proves it. Republican Presidents run up debts, while Democratic ones try to reduce it. This is in stark contrast to the ideology constantly drilled into our heads by the media, that conservatives are for fiscal discipline. If this is true, the conservatives who become president must leave their [...]
Great! Just when you thought it was safe to go to Arizona, the Birthers officially took over the place. Today, the Arizona Republican Senate bowed to the Birthers, and passed a bill requiring all presidential candidates to prove he or she is a natural-born citizen of the United States, prove their age and also prove [...]
Republicans are slowly making their selection on who will run against President Obama. Not Mitt Romney, not Mike Huckabee, and not the meek and mild Tim Pawlenty. Republicans have disowned Sarah Palin and are now clinging to the birtherism of Donald Trump. A new poll from Public Polling has the Donald in the lead with [...]
It’s as if it never happened. The outrageous claim by Republican Senator Jon Kyl last Friday, that 90% of what Planned Parenthood does is providing abortions, has magically disappeared from the Congressional records. Apparently, senators can review their statements on the floor of the senate after making them, and make changes for the record. Last [...]
President Obama was caught on an open microphone making some very interesting remarks about the Republicans and their recent 2011 budget negotiations to keep the government funded for the remainder of this fiscal year. The President, unaware that the microphones were on recalls, among other things, the unsuccessful reasoning given by representatives of John Boehner, [...]
Last time we heard about Dennis Kucinich, the Democratic Congressman was questioning whether or not President Obama should be impeached for his actions in Libya. Kucinich believes he should be. Today, Kucinich somewhat redeemed himself and was able to reconnect with his Democratic roots during his questioning of Wisconsin governor, Scott Walker. Walker went to [...]
Take a few minutes out of your day to keep it real. Be honest, we’ve seen this movie before. The heroes and villians are as staged as professional wrestling. The soap opera dramas of “All My Children”, ”Young And The Restless” and the others have nothing on the modern day “Hatfields & McCoys” that is [...]
It is an obvious game of chicken and well-played by the Republicans. The object of the game is to establish your position in a metaphoric staring contest, wait to see who blinks first, then take all you can and run! Think about it. Every single policy that involves negotiations, Republicans take the most extreme right [...]
Call it buyer’s remorse, a recall on faulty merchandise. Or call it a demand for a refund due to false advertising. Whatever you call it, Americans are beginning to see that this batch of Republicans in Congress are not what they had bargained for. A new PPP poll finds that just a few months after handing the control [...]
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. (Applause.) Please have a seat. Please have a seat, everyone. It is wonderful to be back at GW. I want you to know that one of the reasons that I worked so hard with Democrats and Republicans to keep the government open was so that I could show up [...]
CS News picked up on this. On March 30th, before any agreement on budget cutting was reached, the federal debt stood at $14.2101 trillion, according to the Bureau of Public Debt. During the next 8 days, which culminated with The White House and John Boehner agreeing to $38.5 billion in budget cuts, the federal debt [...]
Jan Brewer, the governor of Arizona who fought tooth and nail to make her racial profiling bill become law, took yet another blow on Monday when the United States of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit called the law “unconstitutional”: PHOENIX — The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled against the State [...]
With all the new Birther attention drummed up by Donald Trump, one would be wise to ask the obvious question; why wouldn’t President Obama just hand over his birth certificate and stop all this nonsense. Well, although that may well be the best thing to do, it seems that even the president of the United [...]
Words of wisdom coming from America’s favorite sitcom dad. Bill Cosby appeared on Good Day America and said what many Americans have been saying since Donald Trump started pandering to the Teaparty and Birthers – if you’re gonna run, run! Everyone knows the real reason for Donald Trump’s sudden interest in politics, and it has [...]
Keith Olberman… yes, that Keith Olbermann – has been keeping up on the nonsense that is today’s Republican party. Here, in this Worst Persons Of The Day edition, our favorite orange, John Boehner wins hands down. Ladies and gentleman, Keith Olbermann…
Obviously he’s meant to be a distraction. And obviously he has no intention of running for president and quitting his day job as one of the richest men in America to take a pay cut as president of the US. Obviously, he’s not the only one involved in his rhetoric over Obama not being an [...]
In the same style that has become the norm with today’s Republican party,–and that is the lack of specifics in any claim they make– a right winged group called Liberty Counsel is actively pushing for the impeachment or removal from office of President Obama. The group has been sending out emails to this effect, the [...]
Gail Collins wrote an article back on April 2nd called Donald Trump Gets Weirder, in which – among other things – she referred to Birther Donald Trump as a Birther. Mr. Birther Trump found this reference offensive, or as he wrote in his birther response, “very derogatory.” The Birther then tried to justify his beliefs–no [...]
In a recent trip to Iowa, Rand Paul spoke of his desire to run for president against President Obama in 2012. The first year Republican congressman told his listeners to expect a Paul in the race. “I’ve told people that the only decision I’ve made is I wouldn’t run against him,” Rand Paul said during [...]
The announcement came yesterday and Americans breathed a collective sigh of relief. Glenn Beck, will no longer be allowed to propagate the airways with his lies and mis-information. Well, at least not on FOX. The network announced that Beck was leaving at the end of the year. Of course, the news left many liberals and [...]
Yesterday, the news broke that Scott Walker gave the son of one of his donors a state job with a 26% raise in salary totaling $81,500 a year. Today, little Scottie mysteriously found a reason to demote the 27 year old, and took away the raise. JS Online reports; Gov. Scott Walker abruptly reversed course [...]
Who is this Joanne Kloppenburg? Whoever she is, she’s giving the Republican incumbent judge in Wisconsin a run for his money. As of this moment, the New York Times is reporting that with 99% of the votes counted, “the pair were separated by fewer than 600 votes from among more than 1.4 million cast. The leader [...]
I know it may be quicker to list the groups the GOP are for, but I have some time and some blog space, so here goes… Are you on GOP’s hit-list? Well you are if you’re one of these; Latinos Blacks Muslims The Middle Class The Poor Gays Democrats Independents Women The Educated Seniors All Union [...]
As we near the time for the gathering of soothe sayers, spin doctors and corporate-made shills to throw their hats in the ring for the circus of illusions that the 2012 presidential elections promises to be, I’m reminded of a technique commonly used in marketing. The target consumer’s tendencies, mood and environment are studied and well-known by those merchants whose livelihood depends upon consumers viewing [...]
President Bill Clinton, one of the 43 previous men who carried the banner of President of the United States, who was never accused of being born anywhere else other than the US during his tenure, expressed his displeasure of criticism, by some, of the 44th man to carry the torch – President Barack Obama. One [...]
John Boehner, the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives had this to say at a news conference last week; “Let’s all be honest, if you shut the government down, it’ll end up costing more than you save because you interrupt contracts. There are a lot of problems with the idea of shutting the government [...]
Apparently, Republicans think women will lie about being raped or being the victim of incest, in order to get a “free abortion.” This claim is coming from a Republican in the Indiana Congress. His name is Eric Turner. Mr. Turner introduced what is being considered the most restrictive abortion bill in the nation. The bill [...]
The recent employment figures show 216,000 jobs were created in March, allowing the unemployment rate to fall from 8.9% to 8.8%. And according to David Dreier, Republican Chairman of the House Rules Committee, John Boehner is the one responsible for these newly created jobs. Contain your laughter!!! Mr. David Dreier praised John Boehner, saying; Speaker Boehner [...]
Since gaining power in the House of Representatives, Republicans have attacked just about every major group of middle class Americans it could classify. So there should be no surprise that the American Association of Retired Persons also known as the AARP is next in line for the GOP’s crosshairs. Republicans are now asking the IRS [...]
