No Background checks because “there were some on my side who did not want to be seen ...

helping the president do something he wanted to get done,...”

MyGod, so because they dislike Obama we should continue to have massive amounts of tragedies effecting tens of thousands each year?...

Shouldn’t the DNC make the the poster for all future elections?.. Says it fucking all....

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) revealed that some members of his party opposed expanding background checks for gun sales recently because they didn't want to "be seen helping the president."

Two weeks ago, only three Republican senators voted for the bipartisan background checks amendment sponsored by Toomey and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), despite overwhelming popular support for such a measure.

"In the end it didn’t pass because we're so politicized. There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because the president wanted to do it,” Toomey admitted on Tuesday in an interview with Digital First Media editors in the offices of the Times Herald newspaper in Norristown, Pa.

Oh My God...Finally, fucking finally....

The template on how to destroy right wing assholes..
I actually had tears of joy watching our guy destroy this asshole..

I understand that his language might be considered offensive to some around here but its time to fight fire with fire...The threats, the violence, the lies that these nuts perpetrate upon our country..A little foul language pushed in their face is just fine by me... Fuck them!

Please Read This!

And then tell me why Peter King is not calling for an all out investigation of this guy and
his link to the republican party? Might not there be a hornet’s nest beneath where this
guy sleeps? kinda Muslim like?

From CNN U.S.( Excerpt)

Dutschke can be linked to Sadie Holland through her son, Democratic state representative Steve Holland.
Dutschke failed in a bid as a Republican to unseat the younger Holland.
As for Curtis, Sadie Holland presided over a 2004 assault hearing involving Curtis, who says he has been in jail "over 20 times," but never convicted.

Keith Ellison..... Horrible Job!

Man, Could you have been more timid.
A fucking xenophobe congressman on live televisions states that The Muslim Community
should be targeted by American Intelligence and instead of being personally insulted and immediately lashing back ( Pointing out the havoc reeked by right wing terrorism), he simply went about his business of being a Democrat....And struck back with such caution..
Makes me sick!!~

3 Year Old Shoots Infant!.....There are stories appearing in MSM every God Damn day...

The shit never gets better only worse....Can those who site statistics finally come up with a number based on percentages which illustrates the number of legal unsafe gun owners in the country... This includes people who regularly get loaded on drugs and alcohol but own guns legally....And the ones who get loaded once in awhile and forget to take the gun out of the car.... Lets get some numbers!!!

Special S.C. Election so close.??

Only 13 days away??I had no freaking Idea..Where the hell have I been?

Anyway I just gave.. Hope I’m allowed to do this?



Friends --

Think of how humiliating it would be for Republicans to lose one of the reddest seats in the country.

Well, Elizabeth Colbert Busch has a real chance to knock off Mark Sanford in South Carolina's special election only 13 days from today. That would be quite the upset for a district that Mitt Romney won by 18 points.

Even Republican leadership is getting twitchy about this race. Senator Lindsey Graham just said that losing this ruby-red seat would “undercut” the GOP House majority. We agree! Will you help us raise the $57,000 we need by tonight's deadline to defeat Republicans like Mark Sanford?

Suggested Support: $3.00

DEADLINE: Give $3 or whatever you can today to help fight back against Mark Sanford and Republican attacks >>

If Republicans lose this seat, it will have national implications for Boehner and his teetering majority. But there's only 13 days left.

Help us get the truth out and fight back against Republican attacks like these: Chip in before tonight's deadline.

What’s amazing about this story is how little attention it will get.

How many other children in this country die because parents choose God over medicine?

How many are never reported?
