I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!

Obama Slams GOP Candidates – They can’t Handle CNBC, How Can They Handle Putin?

And this is one of the reasons why Republicans are no match for the president. He is in a class by himself. He has more wit in his little finger than the 52 Republican candidates put together, and nothing these jokers do or say will ever change that.

At a democratic fundraiser in New York City on Monday, the president spoke about some of the nonsense going on in the Republican Party and in the GOP debates. One of the things he mentioned was the recent cry baby episode by Republican presidential candidates, complaining that the CNBC moderators were too hard on them and too unfair in their questions.

The president nailed it by saying that these are the same people who complained that he is weak when it comes to Putin. They claim they will be stronger. But as the president points out, how are they going to be stronger when dealing with Putin  when they couldn’t even handle questions from CNBC moderators?

“Every one of these candidates says, ‘Obama’s weak, Putin’s kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he’s going to straighten out,'” Obama said during a democratic fundraiser in New York City.

“And then it turns out, “Every one of these candidates says, ‘Obama’s weak, Putin’s kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he’s going to straighten out,'” Obama said during a democratic fundraiser in New York City.

“And then it turns out, they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators,” he said. “If you can’t handle those guys, I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you.”

New NBC Poll – Trump is Number 2, Trump is Number 2, Carson Leads All

Donald Trump must be pulling his weave out right about now. In a new NBC poll, Trump is no longer the leader as Republicans are slowly coming to their senses. They are now choosing Ben Carson as the Republican standard-bearer for their party’s march into the presidential election… so much for coming to their senses.

The new poll conducted between October 25 to October 29, finds that among the Republican candidates for president, 29% prefer Ben Carson as their party presidential nominee. The Trump comes in second with 23%, followed by Marco Rubio at 11% and Canadian born Ted Cruz at 10%. The Republican establishment candidate of choice, Jeb Bush, comes in at a measly 8%.

The other candidates are not worth mentioning.

White House Hits Christie – His Poll Numbers “are closer to an asterisk”

Chris Christie has a BIG mouth, but he might have bitten off more than he can chew here.

Christie has been busy lately trying to climb out of the poll-hole his campaign started in, and he figured attacking the President would get him out of that hole. But I’m not sure Christie expected the President and the White House to fight back!

Christie’s attack on the president says that Mr. Obama is responsible for whatever anti-police sentiments in America today. Yes, that attack plays good with the Republican base that hates everything Obama, but it is not based in reality. In an interview on MSNBC, Christie said, “We have liberal policies that tie the hands behind the backs of police officers and then when incidents happen, accuse them of misconduct first and then do the investigation later,” Christie said Monday. “And you’ve got a president of the United States who does not support law enforcement. Simply doesn’t.”

But the White House shot back.

Press secretary Josh Earnest called Christie’s claim that Obama does not support police “particularly irresponsible,” suggesting it’s an attempt to “turn around” his struggling presidential campaign.

“They’re not surprising for somebody whose poll numbers are closer to an asterisk than they are double digits,” Earnest said.

GOP Presidential Crybabies Have a List of Demands for Future GOP Debates

The questions in the last Republican presidential debate were apparently to hard for the bunch of Republicans wanting to occupy the most powerful office on earth, and those “gotcha” questions? Those questions must go! They cannot be asked because the people wanting to be president are incapable of thinking on their feet.

So the group held a meeting and came up with a list of demands for future networks wanting to ask them questions.

The Republican presidential candidates have finalized a long list of demands and questions for networks hosting debates going forward, according to a copy of a letter obtain by the Washington Post.

In the letter, the candidates demanded that networks communicate with candidates directly (as opposed to the Republican National Committee) and that the networks hold a conference call with candidates about the debate format at least a month before the debate. The candidates would then be able to determine whether they wish to participate in the debate.

The campaigns demanded that the debates include 30-second opening and closing statements, and asked that the networks nix lightning rounds and submit graphics with biographical details about the candidates to the campaigns for approval. The candidates also asked that the moderators ask the same number of questions to each candidate and refrain from “gotcha” questions.

The letter obtained by the Post also includes a long list of questions the campaigns would need the networks to answer. The questions cover who the moderators are, how long the debate is, and who will qualify for the debate. They also list things that networks should not include like “candidate-to-candidate questioning,” “reaction shots of members of the audience or moderators during debates,” and “behind shots of the candidates showing their notes.”

Jeb Bush Pushed His New Book in Florida Campaign Speech – Video

In a brand spanking new campaign speech in Tampa Florida, well-known Republican establishment candidate Jeb Bush, relaunched his failing presidential campaign with a brand new slogan – #JebCanFixIt! But before diving into ways he can fix it, (sidenote – Jeb did not say how he will fix anything), Jeb spent some quality time pushing his new book.

“Last year, I decided I wanted to share my story with people across the country, so I wrote a book. Well really I didn’t write it, not in the traditional sense, I emailed it!” Jeb said, as he talked about some of the emails he received including one about a raccoon in an elderly woman’s attic. Jeb made a call for the woman and he sent someone to remove the raccoon. Jeb bragged that “by noon, that raccoon was out!”

Jeb fixed the woman’s raccoon problem. But back to the book or as Jeb called it, his “shameless plug.”

“The book is called Reply All, it’s out today you can get it on Amazon.com, it’s pretty cheap. I hope you enjoy it. Going back and rereading these emails reminded me of the challenges we tackled together and how much can be accomplished with strong conservative leadership. That is why I’m running for the presidency of the United States of America.”

Pause for applause.

Carly Fiorian is Heading Back to ‘The View’ After Hosts Called Her Smile “demented”

Now she is obviously not Donald Trump or Ben Carson so there will be little media coverage, but ever since a co-host of The View said Carly’s smile looked “demented,” Carly has used the incident to politic and to appeal to those sympathetic to her failing presidential bid. Yesterday Carly told Fox News that if the ladies of The View has something to say about her looks, they should “say that to my face!”

“If I come back on again,”she told Fox News, “let’s see if they have the guts to say that to my face.”

Well it seems that the ladies of The View will get the chance to do just that. Carly told Fox that she will make another appearance on the television talk show.

“I will face the ladies of The View for the second time Friday…” she announced, saying that she wasn’t going to seek an apology. “My message to the ladies of The View is man up. If you want to debate me on policies, the Obama administration for example has been bad for women, Planned Parenthood is harvesting baby parts– if you don’t like those facts or those messages, man up and debate me on them. But don’t sink to talking about my face.”

Carly’s poll numbers are lingering in the single digits, so the object here is to milk this for all the publicity possible. You can bet this appearance will be used in an upcoming Carly ad against what she see as attacks from “the liberal media!”

Video of Mother Caught Stealing Halloween Candy has Gone VIRAL – Video

The thoughtful homeowner was unable to actually hand out the candies to the little trick or treaters, so the candy was left outside the house with a note asking the little ones to be considerate. For the most part, the young ones took what they needed and went on to the next house. Until a mother and her kids walked into the scene.

Her kids took a few bars and moved on, but the mother wasn’t ready just yet. She is seen on camera grabbing candies by the handful, filling her bag. She did not leave until she grabbed the last of the stash. After she was gone another kid comes for his share, but he was too late. There were no more to be had.

In less than 24 hours, the thieving Halloween bandit had already racked up over 1,000,000 views on YouTube, thanks to the actions of this mother!

Paul Ryan Answers Simple Question with Pointless GOP Talking Points – Video

In his interview on Meet the Press today, Paul Ryan, the new Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, was asked a very direct question – name one thing you can accomplish over the next 6 months that Americans will be proud of.

Instead of giving what should have been a very simple answer, Paul Ryan spat out the usual Republican talking points, criticizing everything from President Obama to Obamacare to the economy to foreign policy.

“Working families are falling behind,” Ryan said. “The economy is stale… our foreign policy is a disaster.”

What can you do in the next 6 months Ryan, answer the question! If you had any ideas besides maintaining your party’s reputation of saying “NO” to everything, then maybe you’ll tell us about those ideas. Instead, we get blah blah blah blah Obamacare blah blah blah!

Donald Trump Calls The Media “Scum” – Video

Donald Trump lost the lead among the Republican voter to Ben Carson, but he is tugging at the heart-strings of Republicans by blaming the media for something, anything, and by calling the media names. He is sure to get the love of the Republican voter again. You know they hate the media, right?

During a rally over the weekend, Trump point to some members of the media and asks;

“What are these scum back there? That’s what they are … You have no idea how bad they are. You have no idea. You have no idea how dishonest some of the reporters are that work for, no, no, that work for CNN, that work frankly, for NBC.

Carly Fiorina to Co-Hosts of The View – “say that to my face”

Carly Fiorina is once again attacking someone because that someone spoke about her looks. The last time she jumped on Trump when he said something about her face. Fiorina is now attacking other women… “liberal” women, as she called them because they said something about her smile.

The day after the latest Republican debate, plenty of people in the media had things to say about the debate, the moderators, the network’s political affiliation, etc. And like many in the media, the hosts of The View – a talk show mind you – made some comments that got under the skin of one of the Republican presidential candidates.

Speaking about Carly Fiorina, one of The View’s co-host Michelle Collins, shared her interpretation of Carly’s “smile” moment. “She looked demented,” Collins said. “Her mouth did not downturn one time.” Another co-host chimed in that a “smiling Fiorina” mask would be perfect for Halloween.

Well Fiorina had something to say about the talk show host’s comment. She called the hosts “a set of liberal feminists who believe that if you do not agree with them on their liberal orthodoxy, that you don’t count.”

“Conservative women, from Sarah Palin to Michele Bachmann to Carly Fiorina, are long used to this. It will not stop me. It will not scare me. And maybe the ladies of ‘The View,’ if I come back on again, let’s see if they have the guts to say that to my face.”

Paul Ryan – It’s an “Entitlement” for Other Americans to Spend Time With Their Family – Video

Paul Ryan laid down his demands before accepting the position of Republican House Speaker. One of those demands was to allow him more time with his family. That family time it seems, is paramount to Paul Ryan. But given the same opportunity to allow other Americans to have more time with their family, Paul Ryan and Republicans voted down that bill.

In an interview on Fox News today, Ryan, the new House Speaker – he accepted the job because his demands were met – was asked to explain that apparent hypocrisy, and in his explanation Ryan said that Americans spending more time with their family can only be done if another “federal entitlement” is created, and that was something he was not going to do.

“I don’t think people asked me to be Speaker to so that I can take more money from hardworking taxpayers to create some new federal entitlement. But I think people want to have members of Congress who represent them, that are like them.”

“Don’t you want your member of Congress to be a citizen legislator who lives with you among you, who has your own kinds of concerns, who wants to spend time with his children on Saturdays and Sundays?” I’m going to keep living in Janesville, Wisconsin where I’m from, where I raise my family. I’m going to keep going back and forth to D.C.”

It’s apparently good for Paul Ryan, but making sure that the average American has that same privilege? Paul Ryan and his Republican buddies call that an entitlement.

Pat Robertson – Halloween is a Time “to celebrate Satan” – Video

Pat Robertson, on his television show on The 700 Club, took time to reiterate his well-known feelings about Halloween.

“Well, it used to be called ‘All Saints Eve,’ now we know it as Halloween,” Robertson said. “That’s the day when millions of children and adults will be dressing up as devils, witches, and goblins to celebrate Satan. They don’t realize that’s what they’re doing.”
