| More than a week before the election, an FBI whistleblower went to a Republican member of Congress with explosive details about a national security scandal that could have stopped President Obama’s re-election campaign dead in its tracks. But the potentially devastating “October Surprise” was hushed up by Republicans. (snip) Because of Cantor’s failure to go public, the scandal exploded only after the election, as Petraeus submitted his resignation as CIA director and Obama accepted it. “I would like to congratulate President Obama on his re-election,” Cantor had actually said on his blog, knowing that Obama’s administration was engaged in

No, we don´t need a new party. The party is NOT the politicians, it is the people and the principles. What we need is to clean house. We need to clean the RNC first and then have to stop voting in these career politicians. We need to get rid of the good ol´ boys club. They do NOT represent the party principles or the people they claim to represent. They only take care of themselves and their buddies. Their true party is the Washington DC Elite Party (R and D only matter when it personally affects them).

Number 5, what you say is true and has been especially so for the past decade even before it became clear the GOP sold this country out without blinking. They should have retired from public life in shame or gone to jail. I´ve been paying close attention and I assure you there´s absolutely no chance any of them are leaving. After the recent election loss, they´ve doubled down against us, eagerly telling the NY Times we´re humble now, the spirit of 2010 is gone, and we have to take our medicine. This is true of both elected GOP and apparatchiks. Jeb Bush is very open about it, says we´re dangerous. As others have said, the GOP isn´t concerned with beating democrats, just with beating conservatives. They don´t care if it takes them the rest of their lives, that´s how deep it is. This includes the extended Bush family. We will never win with these people. Never.

The problem is Petraeus isn´t your average Obama goon squad member and nobody would take delight on blowing the whistle on him.I doubt whether this would have really affected the election outcome anyway. Maybe if it was someone besides Petraeus but not him.
Republicans didn´t make a good enough case against Obama when there was tons of material to go after him on. Romney sat on advertising money until it was too late.
Now we´re sitting around bawling about not getting latino voters when we should be making a rule of law case about deporting them.People have swallowed this "better life" BS instead of calling it out as part of the left´s vote buying schemes.

If it made no difference to the electorate, then we lose, but if it sent those 3 million, sedentary voters to the polls, we would not be lamenting and licking our wounds today.

While extending the payroll tax cut through the end of last year, members of Congress last fall took what many feel was a long overdue whack at the cost of their retirement plan. They bumped up the rate at which federal employees contribute to their pension plan, saving an estimated $15 billion over the next 11 years. They also made sure that none of the increase applied to themselves. Anyone in service before the law went into effect would pay into the pension plan at the old rate.

Mindful of the repeated rounds of cuts the military has already endured, Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, recently delivered a grim warning: "If you want [the military] to be doing what it´s doing today, then we can´t give you another dollar." His worries reflect reductions that started in 2009 and have reached crippling levels, even in President Obama´s proposals to avert sequestration. I take the general at his word, but I am concerned that the president does not. Sequester hurts national security, not just because 50% of the cuts fall on the military´s 18% share of the overall

The Obama aide, Woodward told Politico, “yelled at me for about a half hour” as well. (Snip) So you might expect the rest of the media to stand with Woodward. You’d be wrong. They’re too busy

Debate over the definition of middle class comes after President Obama´s State of the Union address this week.

Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.

The state of California is reportedly considering legislation that would force group insurance policies to provide infertility treatment for gay and lesbian couples. Two men who have sex with each other for a year and do not produce a baby would be considered “infertile” under the proposed legislation. So would two women having sex. Since biology does not allow those without a uterus to conceive or those without a penis to impregnate, every year-long gay couple in California would potentially be covered by this new provision of California law.
