Just as Jimmy Carter appreciates Obama for knocking him out of position as the worst president the United State ever had, Bart Stupak is relieved of his position by Bob Corker
Let’s see now. Originally the Lynch nomination was going to be rejected by the “fearless” GOP caucus in Congress as one of its most powerful weapons in retaliation for Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty (that and the “power of the purse”; remember that one?) Or, she would be approved only if Obama rescinded his action.
Well, in her testimony before the Senate Judiciary committee Lynch was very clear that she thought that executive action was a home run.
So now, the GOP, in return for some meaningless compromise re: an abortion amendment included in the “anti-human trafficking’ bill, will “move on to the Iran issue”.
In addition to thinking that Senator Corker had already “solved” the “Iran issue”, on the matter of the “compromise” on the abortion amendment, the good Senator might want to check with the former Democrat congressman, Bart “the Dupe” Stupak. “Stupe” had an ironclad deal with Obama hisself that Obamacare would not, in any way, provide federal funds for abortion.
And that’s why the term describing getting “scammed’, “I’ve been “Stupak’d”, will soon be replaced with, “I’ve been Corkered!”‘
“My sense is, over the next 48 to 72 hours, that is going to be resolved, and we will move on to this Iran issue,” said Corker (CNN report here)

learn something ne every day: Obama is worse than Bush II and Reagan! yay! let’s see: BUSH II > left w a budget surplus, left a 10.6 trillion dollar debt; allowed his VP to play commander in chief and hoax a War in Iraq; let his Vp run a private Energy commission; if not for Dr. Savage, would have let our ports be controlled by the United Arab Emerites; left Obama 2 unfunded wars, unfunded pharma, and a 10 yr. tax relief program for the rich. he and his Veep SLEPT THRU the Aug. 6, 2001 warning of BL using planes to attack [government] buildings. hmm. REAGAN: gave us Beirut and 241 dead marines; Iran Contra, in VIOLATION of the boland amendment; refused to divest of South Africa; allowed Don Regan, ex-CEO of Merrill-Lynch to9 turn Wall Street into a roulette table; destroyed the middle class; gave away 1/3rd of the USA to England and Japan; fired 11,000 air traffic controllers; tried to assassinate Gadhafi, wound up killing his daughter and thereby quite possibly creating the Lockerbee incident. increased the debt 2.5 times. JIMMY CARTER? hmmm > well, he did leave a trillion dollar debt, which Reagan increased. started no wars. was somewhat a victim of the oil embargo. cost of living manageable. kept the hostages ALIVE. soooooo Obama is WORSE than Bush II and Reagan and Carter (who was not bad)?. let’s see > Obama cut unemploy. in half and the deficit in half; got thru HISTORIC hjealthcasre reform (actually similar to Bush II’s plan and based upon Romneycare and the 1993 Repub. alternative – yeah, real sneaky); got insurers to quit denying coverage to precondition MS and cancer patients; got thru student loan, credit card, and wall street reform (I guess U guyz loved the over deregulation which led to the crashes in ’87 and ’08). yes, it was also a nightmare that GM and Chrysler are restored to competitiveness. that Iraqi soldiers were brought home ahead of sched. to alleviate a NINTH tour in the hoaxed war. and he did all that despite the confederates coming out of the woodwork & the TP Caucus declaration of war on blue collar job development on 01-20-09.
PHIL THE ANGRY LIB > bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaah! C U on election nite, haters.
I am beginning to think Phil Silverman is either a 75 year old uneducated silver ponytail hippy or a 16 year old kid who wears a helmet and rides the short bus.
all right, smarty pants >the usual insightful, fact filled reply, eh? now…explain how all my points R wrong! 🙂 I don’t mean *disagreeable* to a John Birch mentality, just pick out a few so we can discuss them. Instead of you reflexively handing us another RNC bumper sticker.
by the way, Mr. Presumptuous, I am a fan of Ike, Nixon, and Bush I, and was a registered Repub. until Cheney-Bush II came along. sorry.
I would love to but I couldn’t make it through your 900 word solid block of text.
Ha ha too funny! Like we are supposed to believe you were a Republican until the big bad Boosh 2 came around and suddenly turned you into a full blown commie.
thanks for calling me a liar, little dude. but I see YOU are a BIrcher! COMMEE COMMEE! YOu guyz even called IKe a COMMEE!
ok, tell ya what, just tell us WHY Cheney was a better President than is Obama.rPres
ok, tell ya what > tell us why Cheney was a better President than is Obama.
give it the ol’ college try. 🙂
callin’ me a liar, aye!!! I was a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN UNTIL 2010! DID NOT WANT TO BECOME A DEM! WANTED INDEPENDENT (WHEN I GOT TO CALIFORNIA)…BUT NO. NO TEA PARTY 4 ME! 🙂
Haha! Ok, now you’re not even trying anymore. “I didn’t not want to become a Dem!” -Phil Silverman 04/22/2015
COMMEE! (not sure you’re kiddin’). See, you ARE a Bircher! they called IKE a Commee!!!
challenging my veracity? eh? and STILL no discussion of the verifiable points I made? guess what? I detest the extremists in the DEm. party the way YOU should in your own party. I am pro Israel, hate abortion, think Nixon and BUsh I and Ike were excellent and like many GOPs on the Hill and elsewhere. sorry to burst your Bircher-bubble! 🙂
Phil you are a troll. We say black you say white. All you make are contra-assertions not “facts.” You keep calling us “Birchers” with apparently no understanding of what their positions are.They are as anti-foreign incursion as you can get and yet you use them and Cheney in the same breath as if they were the same. Certainly they are anti-communist but they were no fans of Bush 1 or 2 or Dick Cheney. Like most Democrats your economics is so screwed up I don’t know where to begin other than to say pay better attention or read the links. We get the liberal analysis every time we open the paper and watch liberal media. That you may have been a registered Republican at some time in your life, well Hillary Clinton says she was a Goldwater Girl. You and she can now walk hand in hand in liberal la la land. Congratulations.
You ARE the extremist wing of the Democratic Party Phil. Just embrace it man. This attempting to moderate your crazy rabid 3 months of non stop trolling by pretending to be a some establishment weirdo ex Republican isn’t fooling anybody.
a troll? very useful for those who deny easily verifiable facts and want just bobble head buddies. what a joke. do U want to go point by point? of course not. You say I do not understand BIrcher positions, good one. Okay, R U a Bircher, number one? If you are, you are certainly in the Tea Party frame of mind > obviously thinking “candidates” like Palin, Donnell are terrific & screwheads like Miller and West are great, too. Hillary was a Goldwater girl, oh, let’s see, 51 years ago? I was a reg. Repub. until 2010, sir. EXPLAIN HOW MY ECONOMICS are messed up > I’m easy, I may even look up some of your explanation on Google. I assume you say O)bama DID NOT cut unemploy. in half > because unemploy. is really double the report. fine. then Bush II left Obama 19%. POINT is he did reduce unemploy. & the deficit in half with NO HELP from the extremists on the HIll. You say the JB Society (See I KNEW you were in that org.!) disliked Bush II. of course! he was NOT REPUBLICAN ENOUGH! He had a good healthcare reform plan and he tried to help struggling students. Okay, we can agree to disagree about Cuba, fair enough > you JBers would say it’s a leg up for Commies. But pick out a few of my points on exactly HOW Obama is worse than Cheney-Bush > yes, I’ll read every word U write.
no way in hell am I extremist. 🙂 I AM PRO ISRAEL, anti ABORTION. PRO CAPITALISM. nice try. thanks 4 not gettin’ personal, AGAIN.
I don’t like being a liar, little dude. howz about discussing 2-3v points I made. You have not injected ONE SINGLE number! 🙂
hehehe >>> see YOUR extremist patootie election nite.
So we have a troll who would literally suck a fart out of Obummers skinny buttocks at any minute of the day and he proclaims he is “Pro-Israel, Pro Life and Pro-Capitlism?!?
I MEAN REALLY!?
>>>>edit >>>>I don’t like being called a liar, esp. from an extremist in denial. 🙂
cute! “troll”! a shame when FREE THINKERS happen upon us! yes, I am pro Israel, anti-abortion, pro Capitalism, I listen to Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, I like John wayne movies, too. NOT ONCE have you extremists gone point by point with me and the many verifiable points I’ve made. that’s too hard > better to use ad hominem. >>>once again, I’d like someone to explain to me HOW Barack is “worse” than W.! (ok, that’s too hard to deal with) > howz aout 67 attempts by the GOP to nullify AHCA whilst rejecting transportation/infrastructure job development bills? “troll”! yay!(and unusually vulgar, today). @
Phil, you may say you are pro-Israel but that does not make it in any way meaningfully so, especially in light of what Israel sees as its number one threat, Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, and the path that Obama has laid out for them to do so. You cannot assume anyone who is pro-life will give credence to your personal opposition and support of a regime that aggressively supports unlimited abortion until the moment of birth (including death by exposure to those babies born alive as a result) and taxpayer funding of it, nor can you with any credibility call yourself “pro Capitalism” and support the takeover of one sixth of the economy which Obamacare has done, and all manner of property rights limitations, confiscatory income taxes, crony-capitalism and hamstringing politically correct regulations inflicted on business large and small. You don not supply counter analysis, you spout assertions. We have something like 1500 posts under our belt that beyond your usual irrelevancies,at one time or another have supplied or referenced an analysis that rebuts, ridicules, devastates runs counter to your assertions . Our blog roll is extensive, answers to your assertions can be readily found there. Our efforts are for objective people not hide-bound people like you.
