What do John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, Karl Rove and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Have in Common?

They all support war in Syria, even though we have no idea whether anyone actually used chemical weapons and, if they were used, who used them; or who we're fighting for; or what the goal is; or whether a regional or global conflict will result; or how blowing up some camels helps U.S. national security interests. Aside from those issues, the case for action is rock solid.

• "Nancy Pelosi to Congressional Democrats: Use of Force in Syria 'Is In our National Interest'"

• "Of course: John Boehner supports Obama's call for military action against Syria"

• "Wasserman-Schultz says ‘dozens of countries’ will fight with us, but she can’t name them"

• "Karl Rove siding with Muslim Brotherhood in Syria"

I know why anti-war moonbats Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz are now angrily banging the drums of war: because they put politics over principle every hour of every day.

But I have no earthly idea why John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Karl Rove would support this bumbling, feckless administration when there is no concrete proof that: (a) chemical weapons were used; and (b) who used them if they were indeed employed.

Writing at World Tribune, Yossef Bodansky reports that there is evidence a "Aug. 21 chemical strike in the Damascus suburbs was indeed a premeditated provocation by the Syrian opposition."

"We mapped the human brain way before Obama's BRAIN Initiative"

The peerless People's Cube mapped the progressive's brain long before President Obama announced his ill-fated, $100 million "BRAIN Initiative" (Sequester? What Sequester?).


In related news, Debbie Wasserman-Schlitz (who was apparently asked to lay low after the DNC got her Q-scores) is whining that "a spare $250 million is a little tough these days."

This is, of course, one of the central nincompoops responsible for $3.2 trillion in "Stimulus" spending (and counting, since the original $800 trillion Stimulus is now baked into the baseline budget).

Washerman-Schlutt has it tough: President Obama, in comparison, is still handing out billions of our money in "green energy" scams, deficits and Sequester notwithstanding.

SOLVENCY: Democrat politicians run their own finances just as well as they run the country's

Color me shocked: the Democrats are just as incompetent with their own money as they are with ours.

Obama Campaign Borrows $15M from Bank of America

Obama For America took out a $15 million loan from Bank of America last month, according to the campaign’s October monthly FEC report. The loan was incurred on September 4 and is due November 14, eight days after the election. OFA received an interest rate of 2.5% plus the current Libor rate.

Warren Buffett, Obama donor and namesake of the infamous “Buffett Rule,” invested $5 billion in Bank of America last year in an effort to help the ailing financial institution. Last month, two weeks after OFA took out the loan, Bank of America announced a plan that would lay off 16,000 workers by the end of the year.

Obama has a complicated relationship with Bank of America. The bank contributed $20 million toward the cost of the Democrat National Convention earlier this year...

Curious how we never hear about the incestuous ties between the Obama campaign and BofA, eh?

Oh, and then there's this.

DNC takes out $10 million loan while RNC has $83 million in bank

The Democratic National Committee was unable to keep up with the Republican National Committee's fundraising again in September, despite taking out $10.5 million in loans.

The DNC raised $20.3 million in September, including the loans, and only $3.7 million of its total fundraising came from individuals and political action committees. The rest came from transfers and offsetting operating expenditures...

Boy, that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is doing an outstanding job, isn't she? She's such a bipartisan and non-polarizing figure.

In conclusion, I assert that not only are Democrats intellectually bankrupt, they're also just plain bankrupt.

Try and contain your chortles.

The Democrats' Platform Face-Plant: They Meant to Do That

Dan from New York:

It was like pulling teeth, but G-d and Jerusalem are back in the Democratic platform. They put it to a voice vote that some said the nays actually won.

[Ed.: Actually, Buzzfeed described it as "chaos"].

FoxNews.com, September 05, 2012

Democrats restore references to God, Jerusalem in platform

The Democratic Party has restored references in its official platform to "God" and to Jerusalem as the recognized capital of Israel.

The move comes after some had complained that the platform approved Tuesday omitted those references, which were included in the 2008 platform.

Many in the audience booed after the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, ruled that the amendments had been approved despite the fact that a large group of delegates objected.

He called for a vote three times before ruling.

The Democrat Convention appears to be melting down right before our eyes. Yesterday, it was DNC Chairman-woman-person Dee Wasserman Snider getting caught in yet another blatant lie.

Then Little Dick Durbin threw a temper tantrum when asked in simple English why God and Jerusalem had been ripped from prior platforms.

I'm predicting, here and now, that Bill Clinton will be accompanied onstage by an empty chair representing the Gingrich-Kasich budget surplus for which Democrats always try to take credit.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Continues to Duck Debates With Her Popular GOP Opponent, Karen Harrington

For obvious reasons. After all, who could possibly believe the same set of talking points -- repeated ad nauseum for six years straight -- recited in a nasally, obnoxious Yenta voice, which sounds like a muppet on 'ludes?

During the last day of the RNC convention in Tampa, Florida, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz surprised Republicans by taking a stroll down radio road, in hopes of disseminating more of President Obama’s re-election message. In between radio spots, Wasserman Schultz effectively dodged the question as to whether she was going to debate her Republican congressional opponent Karen Harrington.

‘DWS’ as she is referred to, refused to answer any questions from ‘Republican-leaning’ media outlets.

Wasserman Schultz was asked several times if she was going to accept Harrington’s challenge, but she ignored the the reporter’s question. The Congresswoman was challenged to five debates by Harrington but has yet to agree to any of them- instead she called out Karen Harrington, GOP VP nominnee Ryan and GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney as “Republican Extremists’ in a fundraising letter to her supporters.

Of course, the real extremists are the left-wing kooks who still push for more "Great Society"/Section 8/Democrat Plantation policies despite 50 consecutive years of failure.

Support Karen Harrington for Congress. We don't need any more losers like DWS in Congress. Because we've reached the loser breaking-point.

Exclusive, must credit Biff Spackle: Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Brodderick to hold RNC panel discussion on protecting women from predators

Just kidding. But wouldn't it be appropriate?

Not to get too hung up on The Senate Candidate Who Shall Not Be Named™, but the fact that a disbarred, impeached, admitted pervert -- who was accused of rape by one woman, sued for molestation by another, publicly accused of fondling another, and who, eh, gave a cigar to an intern in the Oval Office -- is the keynote speaker at the Democrat National Convention is highly relevant to this discussion?

I join Mark Levin in calling for President Obama, Claire McCaskill, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and Dee Wasserman Snider to demand that Clinton withdraw from his speaking engagement.

Otherwise, it's apparent Democrats are waging a veritable war on women.

As an aside, does Clinton have to notify his new neighbors each time he moves?

During blistering CNN interview, Wasserman Schultz reduced to "humina humina humina" responses in nasally Yenta voice

Writing at Townhall, Guy Benson offers Wolf Blitzer sincere praise for his verbal dissection of DNC Embarrassment Debbie Wasserman Schultz:

Let me say this right up front: Congratulations to Wolf Blitzer for being a relentless, responsible journalist. If you value the truth, this interview is a pleasure to watch. If you have even an ounce of human compassion for the in-over-her-head target of Blitzer's inquisition, it's positively brutal...

She stubbornly rejects the (correct) premise that the Romney/Ryan Medicare reform plan exempts everyone over the age of 54, and plays fast and loose with numbers -- conflating 55 and 65 on several occasions. When she is brow-beaten into finally acknowledging -- if not admitting -- the truth around the 3:45 mark, she quickly realizes her "mistake" and reverts back into denialism...

When Blitzer asks her to specify exactly how current or soon-to-be seniors would be impacted by the GOP plan, she cannot. Because they're not.

The Left is intellectually bankrupt on the very subject they claim will allow them to crush Mitt Romney in November. They despise the bipartisan solution Republicans have offered, but they have no alternative of their own.

Dear Democrats, Medicare is slated to go bankrupt in 2024. You say it's wrong for future seniors to be denied Medicare as it currently exists. Okay, what's your plan, guys?

We know that your actions have already cut Medicare by $700 Billion to pay for part of Obamacare. We also know that Obamacare establishes a government panel to ration care for the elderly. And yet the 2024 deadline is still coming. Again, what's your plan, Democrats? Mr. President? Anyone? I confronted Wasserman Schutlz on this very question last summer, and she gave an incoherent and inaccurate response.

...A debt crisis is on the near horizon. Entitlement programs are going under. Twenty-three million Americans are unemployed, underemployed or have given up home. GDP growth is slowing. The president and his allies have no plans, so they're forced to invent smears and argue against positions that their opponents don't hold.

That's why the Democrats' new mantra is "Forward", Guy. Looking back at their track record ain't exactly pretty.

My, my, my: this may explain why Debbie Wasserman-Schultz won't release her tax returns

In a stunning case of "turnabout is fair play", Democrat National Committee Chairperson-woman-man Dee Wasserman Snider has been silenced quite effectively after her calls for Mitt Romney to release all of his tax returns since 1917. Turns out that she has refused to release any of her recent tax returns.

Javier Manjarres, writing at The Shark Tank, arrives at a possible explanation for DWS' abject refusal to release her own tax data.

• On a recent 7-day cruise, Manjarres estimates that DWS spent between $17,000 and $33,000 housing her family in a two-story "Royal Loft Suite" equipped with spiral staircase: "Debbie Wasserman Schultz may be a Member of Congress and the Chair of the DNC, but she’s not the Sultan of Brunei."

So did the Schultz’ pay the full ticket price of the cruise or did they pay for a less expensive boarding arrangement and then receive an upgrade from the cruise ship? If Wasserman Schultz did receive a complimentary upgrade, it’s possible that she would be in violation of the House Ethics Gift Rule.

• Even more perplexing, DWS also appears to have acquired an additional -- and previously undisclosed -- luxury property in New Hampshire valued at more than a half-million dollars. This accompanies her $400,000 home in Florida.

Ah, the tragic, spartan life of a public servant.

Mitt Romney made his money in the private sector.

I wonder how Debbie made all of her money, since she lives on the public dole?

She would never, ever do anything unethical, like -- say -- her parents?

Although in some families, the nut doesn't fall far from the tree.

So what is Dee Wasserman Snider hiding?

Payback's a b***h: Debbie Wasserman Schultz Called On To Release All of Her Tax Returns, Just as She Demands of Mitt

Dee Wasserman Snider is infamous for her piercing, monotone, whiny, nasal, yenta voice. Which makes her a perfect spokesman-woman-person for the Democrat National Committee. Hillary Clinton sounds like Sade in comparison.

Of late, Dee's had to memorize and repeat her latest bullet points from the Axelrod White House: namely, that Mitt Romney has to release details of his tax returns from, like, 1948 or something.

Turns out Dee hasn't exactly been one to talk: she's never released even a single one of her tax returns.

Democratic National Committee chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been called on to release her personal income tax returns. The request was made by her congressional opponent, Republican Karen Harrington of Florida.

“This week millions of taxpaying Americans will fulfill their requirement of filing their tax returns by paying any and all taxes due to the federal government,” Harrington’s campaign writes. “Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been asking Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney to release his 2011 tax return even after Governor Romney released his 2010 tax return.”

...There are no records of Wasserman Schultz having ever released her personal income tax returns, though, as the Harrington campaign states, members of Congress are required to disclose assets, holdings, and various other financial information.

Since we know that certain pathological behaviors are inherited -- and Debbie's parents have been involved in all sorts of legal skulduggery -- it's only fair for constituents to know what Wasserman Snider's been up to.

It's for the children, don't ya know?

Boom: States that elected GOP governors in 2010 saw 50 percent lift in employment over U.S. average

Well, consider these even more data points that reinforce the policy positions of fiscal conservatism: low tax burdens and decreased regulations boost real employment. I know, it's fifth grade logic, which mean it's certain to be ignored by the dug-in, hard-left, radical Sixties Marxist retreads controlling the modern Democrat Party.

In 2010, influenced by the Tea Party and its focus on fiscal issues, 17 states elected Republican governors. And, according to an Examiner.com analysis, every one of those states saw a drop in their unemployment rates since January of 2011. Furthermore, the average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%, compared to the national decline of .9%, which means, according to the analysis, that the job market in these Republican states is improving 50% faster than the national rate...

On the other hand, the unemployment rate in states that elected Democrats in 2010 dropped, on average, as much as the national rate decline and, in some states such as New York, the unemployment rate has risen since January of 2011.

This is yet another example of how the so-called “blue state” model is not working.

But, if you're soon-to-be-ex-Democrat National Committee chairperson Dee Wasserman Snider, the latest abysmal jobs report is just swell. Awesome, in fact.

And they say Mitt Romney is out of touch?

Dee Wasserman Snider gets a Code Pink-Slip: Won't be Asked to Serve as DNC Head Again

It's the tragic story of someone whose curls are wound so tight, they've obviously crimped blood flow to her brain.

Back in April, the Shark Tank floated the likelihood that Democratic National Committee Chairwoman (DNC) Debbie Wasserman Schultz was perhaps on her way out as DNC Chairwoman. We now have learned that Wasserman Schultz will not be back as DNC Chairwoman after the November elections.

According to our source within the Democratic Party, who is also a close associate of Wasserman Schultz, the arrangements have already been made for her to leave DNC regardless if President Obama wins re-election or not.

This same source believes that Wasserman Schultz will be forced to resign behind closed doors and then stage an press event in which she tells Americans that her job as the DNC chair was a temporary one and that she is moving on with her congressional career.

The National Journal has also picked up on the fact that she is indeed getting the boot from Obama... When Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida was tapped last year to lead the Democratic National Committee, it seemed like the latest ascension for a fast-rising star destined for even higher positions. Some stumbles and an apparent falling out of favor with the White House had changed that calculus.

If you know of a job that requires someone with an uncanny ability to parrot insipid talking points, please email Debbie. Because after Karen Herrington takes her Congressional seat in November, she'll be looking for a real job.

Civility: Progressive kook pushes World War II vet while screeching "f*** you" to him at Allen West town-hall

The word disgusting doesn't begin to describe the actions of these progressive loons -- especially seeing as how we're just hours after Memorial Day.

The scene: a town-hall event for Rep. Allen West. At the behest of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz or her ilk, progressives make a make a habit of targeting West because they hate the Constitution and they despise America*. They know that West stands for both -- and, unlike these punks, he's put his life on the line protecting their right to protest him.

In what appears to be the aftermath of a town-hall, several World War II vets stand up for West as a couple of the moonbats try to insult him.

Instead of honoring their service, the liberals go after these heroes, to the point of putting hands on one while dropping the f-bomb on him.

Because that's the way liberals roll, don't ya know?

These progressives disgust me. They ought to hang their heads in shame, but that would require the capability of actually feeling shame.

Take heart, patriots, because November is coming.


* Sorry, drones, but you can't love America and support a presidential candidate who repeatedly promises to 'fundamentally transform' it, as Barack Obama did.

Hide This Chart From the Kids

Democrats and, to a lesser extent, RINO's have perpetrated the greatest act of fiscal child abuse ever seen on Earth:

Runaway spending on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will drive federal debt to unsustainable levels over the next few decades. Total national debt consists of publicly held debt and intergovernmental debt. Intergovernmental debt is the amount that the government owes to specific programs or agencies, such as the Social Security Trust Fund. Publicly held debt is more relevant to credit markets.

History proves -- beyond a shadow of a doubt -- that no country can survive these levels of debt.

And when thoughtful people propose reforms -- like George W. Bush's 2005 Social Security reform plan and Paul Ryan's Path to Prosperity Budget Plan -- they are demonized and demagogued as "pushing Grandma off the cliff".

Unless we remove the Cloward-Piven Democrats from office -- and force RINOs to hew to the Constitutional line -- this country is headed for collapse, as surely as night follows day.

November is coming.

Wasserman-Schultz Gets a New Hair-Do (and a New Face)

In her relentless pursuit of eternal youth, Debbie Washerman-Schlitz appears to have pursued the Pelosi treatment. Which is to say, touching up what God has given her, including a new nose and chin.

Debbie’s had a makeover! I’m all for women looking their best, but this just has to be the most preciously cynical thing I’ve ever seen. Looks like the Libs will throw their “trademark” hair under the bus as quickly as they do their own grandmas, friends, and consultant/strategists... And is it just me or has Debbie Downer also had a nose job? But why should we be surprised–for the Left it’s all about appearance–because you looking beneath the surface would be way, way too scary...

In a video about bullying just a few weeks ago, before she threw her hair under the bus, she proclaimed:

“When I was in school, I was teased mercilessly, all the time, about my curly hair,” she shares. “Kids even made up a mean song about me and sang it over and over. It made me so sad. But now my hair is my signature look, and I wouldn’t change it for anyone, because it’s part of what makes me who I am.”

Until it’s not politically convenient anymore, then I’ll be the new Who I Am!

Pity Debbie didn't get a new personality.

Her annoying voice, combined with a rapid-fire recitation of idiotic Schumer talking points, makes for a nails-on-the-chalkboard experience.

Yes, Deb, we know the Republicans hate children, hate old people, hate the poor, and want dirty air. Because that's apparently what demanding a balanced budget means to Washerman-Schlitz.

Debbie would never live her life the way she demands we run our country. She would never spend double what she made, while in hock to the credit card companies five times what she earns in a year. She would never endanger her own retirement and her own health care.

Yet that is precisely what she's doing to all Americans. Which is why liberalism is the philosophy of the stupid. Or just the corrupt.

Breaking: Pelosi Slams President For High Gas Prices

Well, it's breaking news in the sense that the Associated Press considers it timely.

Remember these golden oldies?

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz attacked George W. Bush for high gas prices back in 2008. Now Obama and democrats are complaining that Republicans are politicizing gas prices...

...Even back in 2006 Democrats were politicizing gas prices and the economy when gas was $3 dollar a gallon and the unemployment rate was 5%... The New York Times reported...

Democrats running for Congress are moving quickly to use the most recent surge in oil and gasoline prices to bash Republicans over energy policy, and more broadly, the direction of the country.

With oil prices hitting a high this week and prices at the pump topping $3 a gallon in many places, Amy Klobuchar, a Democratic Senate candidate in Minnesota, is making the issue the centerpiece of her campaign. Ms. Klobuchar says it "is one of the first things people bring up" at her campaign stops.

To varying degrees, Democrats around the country are following a similar script that touches on economic anxiety and populist resentment against oil companies. "It's a metaphor for an economy that keeps biting people despite overall good numbers," said Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Mr. Schumer said Democratic candidates in 10 of the 34 Senate races this year had scheduled campaign events this week focusing on gasoline prices.

Of course, now that gas prices are at an all-time, seasonally-adjusted high, any cries for expanded drilling, exploration and refining are met with the sputtering Democrat-Marxist-Flat-Earth-No-Growth-Eco-Statist response: "Don't politicize gas prices!"

If Democrats weren't in power, they'd be useful only as comic relief, preferably in a reality show sandwiched between Hoarders and Snapped.

Obama Picks Up Key Endorsement

Iran's Supreme Leader Praises Obama's Israel Stonewalling

...the Israelis are being offered advanced weaponry [by Obama] on the condition that they don’t use it. That’s like offering someone a gun on the condition that they never put bullets in it...

...Of course the Iranians sure are impressed with the fine job Obama is doing on their behalf, and to prove it, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is praising President Obama for trying to dissuade Israel from attacking Iran. And to hedge his bets, the Khamenei also made it clear that “there would be consequences for the United States... if a premature strike is launched on Iran.”

...Khamenei isn’t the only one who sees Obama on Iran’s side as the confrontation between Israel and the Islamic Republic is coming to a head. DNC Chair and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) has also said she’s fielding a lot of email from “her friends and family members... raising doubts about the president’s support for the Jewish state.” Nevertheless, Shultz is standing by President Obama on this one, even writing editorials in defense of Obama’s supposed support for Israel.

In addition to this nation, President Obama has "fundamentally transformed" the Middle East -- into a hotbed of barbaric fundamentalism.

Odd Coincidence: Same Democrats Supporting #OccupyWallStreet Have Also Received the Most Contributions From... Wall Street

Stinky, street-defecating, Marxist hippies hardest hit:

Despite their support of the Occupy Wall Street movement, (who, unlike the Tea Party, believe government is the answer to our economic problems), Democrats have enjoyed large paychecks from the industry.

...the President’s funds are much higher. He’s actually raised $3.9 million just this year so far. But, he has raised nearly $12 million in Wall Street donations for the DNC. In total, that’s more than all the Republican Presidential candidates combined have received from Wall Street...

Damn Democrats: they broke my Hypocrisy-Meter again.

The nut doesn't fall far from the tree: Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's parents involved in all kinds of skulduggery

DNC Chief and radical leftist Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has an interesting genealogical tree that (surprise!) hasn't been covered at all in legacy media. The Broward/Palm Beach News's exceptional investigative reporter Bob Norman offers the background on the cases involving Wasserman-Schultz's mother and step-dad:

...it's been five years since I busted Wasserman-Rubin and sparked the investigation that is dogging her today. The story was called Cash Cow, and it had to do with gaming of the new town of Southwest Ranches by Wasserman-Rubin; her husband, Rick Rubin; and a slew of other well-heeled manipulators...

...Rick Rubin was paid obscene amounts of money -- something like a million dollars -- by the town to write county and state "green space" grants that Wasserman-Rubin voted on. Based on one grant approval by Wasserman-Rubin and her colleagues, Rick Rubin received a $15,000 bonus.

A citizen named Ray McKinney got pissed off when he read it and sent it to the Florida Ethics Commission. Incredibly, the commission, one of the most useless governmental agencies ever created, actually hit Wasserman-Rubin with administrative charges and fined her $15,000... It was a small victory for anticorruption forces in Broward County -- a largely toothless dog bit Wasserman-Rubin and gave her a little bruise...

...The [scandal] effectively ended Wasserman-Rubin's career. Not long after we reported the existence of the criminal investigation, she announced in early April that she was abandoning her reelection campaign...

The Broward State Attorney's Office charged her with seven felonies.

Wasserman-Schultz's father is an equally fine, upstanding citizen. A couple of months ago, CBS Miami reported that Richard Rubin "was sentenced to 10 months in prison on Wednesday for tax evasion".

The husband of former Broward Commissioner Diana Wasserman-Rubin was sentenced to 10 months in prison on Wednesday for tax evasion... Sixty five year Richard Rubin, who pleaded guilty, was also ordered to serve three years probation and pay $104,671.08 in restitution.

...According court documents, Rubin willfully failed to report real estate commissions [and] and the sale of a condominium in Hollywood on his federal tax return...

Last July, Rubin’s wife resigned her post on the commission shortly before she was charged with seven counts of unlawful compensation.

According to investigators, Wasserman-Rubin voted at least 15 times to support of fund grants prepared by her husband on behalf of the Town of Southwest Ranches. In addition to his normal compensation, Rubin reportedly received three $15,000 bonuses for his work on successful grants that were supported by his wife.

Under Florida law, elected officials are not allowed to vote on matters that could benefit them or their spouse.

On September 1st, Rubin began his federal prison term.

Perhaps these articles help explain some of the lawless, unconstitutional and unethical behavior of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. She seems to hold the citizens of America in contempt and is willing to lie over and over again to retain her white-knuckled grip on power.

What can you do? Please support Karen Herrington for Congress and put the rhetorical boot to Debbie's prodigious posterior.

Allen West metaphorically b****-slaps Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

And a well-deserved metaphorical b****-slapping it was (brought to you courtesy of the DNC public relations arm known as Politiho).

Florida GOP Congressman Allen West this afternoon dispatched a scathing personal email to Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, calling her "vile, unprofessional ,and despicable," "a coward," "characterless," and "not a Lady," and demanding that she "shut the heck up."

Wasserman Schultz, in whose neighboring South Florida district West lives, provoked his tirade with remarks after he left the House floor today, in which she responded -- without naming him -- to the Tea Party freshman's support for "Cut, Cap, and Balance" legislation to raise the debt ceiling.

"The gentleman from Florida. who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries, unbelievable from a Member from South Florida," Wasserman Schultz said, saying the legislation "slashes Medicaid and critical investments essential to winning the future in favor of protecting tax breaks for Big Oil, millionaires, and companies who ship American jobs overseas."

Her criticism of the legislation -- more or less what most Democrats are saying today -- provoked a furious response. West copied members of House Republican and Democratic leadership on the email, as well as his chief-of-staff, Jonathan Blyth.

Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!

I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.

You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!

Steadfast and Loyal

Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)

Wasserman-Schultz is -- provably -- a Marxist hack. She is unconcerned with her constituents and seniors in particular. According to its Chief Actuary, Medicare is set to collapse in just ten short years. Instead of working to save it, this ludicrous excuse for a politician instead demonizes Paul Ryan's courageous plan and the heroic Rep. Allen West.

Instead of working to save Medicare, she intones platitudes like "shared sacrifice", "winning the future" and "giving tax breaks to big oil and millionaires."

Hey, idiot: it's not "big oil and millionaires" that destroyed Medicare: it's you. You're an embarrassment, Debbie. And I can't wait until Allen West is House Speaker; I hope he puts your office in the basement with Melvin and his red stapler.

Weiner squeezed from all sides

Let's summarize what we know so far of the delightful exploits of Anthony Weiner (Degenocrat-NY).

∞ He sent lewd pictures of himself to a variety of women, including college co-eds; and was in contact with high school girls as well.

∞ When confronted with evidence of his depraved behavior, he publicly lied directly and repeatedly -- with a pathological fervor -- that he had done so

∞ He then tried to cover up his Internet affairs -- and his lies -- by offering public relations assistance to females including a porn star with whom he'd been corresponding

∞ He is alleged to have used government property to carry on these liaisons

∞ Most importantly, he -- as an important member of Congress and serving on key committees -- exposed himself to blackmail and other skulduggery

But, no, Weiner: don't resign. You're just helping reinforce the reputation of the Democrat Party as not only fiscally disastrous and criminally irresponsible, but also perverted and pathological.

So, please, Weiner: stay in office. You're the new poster boy -- along with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz -- of the proud traditions of the modern Democrat Party.
