Congressman adjourns Idaho GOP convention amid infighting and jeers from attendees
The Idaho state GOP convention collapsed on Saturday as the presiding Republican U.S. congressman called a halt to the proceedings amid infighting and walk-outs by delegates.
LOL I have been once again battling Nazi-Cons on Face book. The calls for the impeachment of the President is over flowing and it is never coming from the people I seem to know.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson is obviously a very smart guy —- so explain to me why he is still a member of the Republican Party! It will never be the party it used to be, e.g., Lincoln, Teddy, and Eisenhower.
Rupert Murdoch is using his media empire to be wrong on so many levels. I wonder how many millions will he make if we give in to right wingnuts. insatiable thirst for wars?
“To keep receiving food stamp benefits, I had to spend every “work day” at a Human Resources Administration work-search office – my presence there was mandatory from Monday through Friday and from 9am to 5pm. The office was more than an hour from my apartment (that is, when public transportation – which I had to pay for myself – was functioning properly), but arriving even five minutes late earned a strike against my record for “non-compliance”. Two strikes, and I would have been out: the US system automatically revokes all benefits for rule-breakers, who then have to start the application process all over again. It’s not a pleasant thing to discover when you’re attempting to pay for groceries and your EBT card suddenly no longer works. The only excusable absences are job interviews – which required asking the interviewer for a mortifying letter of verification – or for illness with a doctor’s note. I asked about what would happen if I’d had a cold but couldn’t afford to go to a doctor just for a note about it. My caseworker shrugged and said I’d have to go to the ER.”
If Nancy Pelosi is “on” this I feel encouraged! She IS a lady who gets things done!

They made a friend-of-the-court filing last week at the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals…in a lawsuit filed by Kansas and Arizona to force federal elections officials to let those states impose their proof-of-citizenship requirements on federal voter registration forms used by residents of their states.

This should be the republican theme song —
Isn’t this the guy who had decades of problems with the Catholic Church? And they still haven’t changed very much!

It appears that at least the Idaho GOP is reaping the rewards of a national/state immoral conservative republican movement within the Grand Old Party.

GOP “logic”: 4,000 American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians dead in Iraq = good. Four dead people in Benghazi = bad.
I like that.

I got my Master’s, couldn’t find a job and lived on food stamps. Now stop calling me a ‘welfare queen’
