Thursday Evening Thread: Promises Kept

Report: House GOP Has Held 55 Votes On Anti-Women Bills |

House Democrats have released a new study tracking the House GOP’s harmful anti-women agenda. Since January 2011, the Republican-controlled House has voted 55 times on bills to “undermine women’s health, roll back women’s rights, and defund programs and institutions that provide support for women,” according to the report prepared by the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Democratic staff. The votes — including 17 about health insurance, 11 to cut access to preventive care, and 10 to limit abortion access — make up 5 percent of all the House legislative votes in the 112th Congress.

Man Debbie is still rocking them curls! Alright I”m gonna stop for some food and drink and I’ll be back!

Remember back in June when some “journalist” declared it to be Obama’s awful June. I don’t remember the exact headline but I do remember it was written in the first few days of the month. I thought we’re barely a week into June and this fool thinks he knows what’s coming before it even happens. His foolish prediction was based on the jobs numbers and the likelihood the SC would declare the ACA unconstitutional. Well, June turned out to be a great, and I believe, decisive month for PBO. The jobs numbers were not good by beltway standards but I happen to believe as long as we are gaining and not losing jobs then it’s a good report to me and I’m sure to the people who got hired that month. But right after that report came out PBO and his team turned on a dime and began to fillet Williard relentlessly over his refusal to release his taxes and record of cruelty and greed at Bain. They brutalized him all month long and just when Williard expected a reprieve the SC upheld the ACA culminating in an excellent June for the prez.

The beating continued for Williard in July as we received better job numbers and the Bain ads were having the desired effect so poor “wittle Williard” thought he could escape this thrashing by taking a foreign trip to show American voters how presidential he could be on the world stage, NOT!!! So he returns home as an international pariah, having nearly averted WWIII, with his tail tucked between his legs to be greeted by another “journalist” suggesting August would be a great month for Williard because of the likely positive buzz around his VP pick, convention and the expected bump afterwards. This was written, of course, either at the end of July or the beginning of August. Well, Williard picks Lyin Ryan who is finally outed as the lying, phony, sociopath he is. Senate candidate Todd Akin decides to enlighten the world to the phrase “legitimate rape” and the GOP clown show stumbles into their convention under threat of hurricane. The hatefest is just that. Williard is treated like an afterthought at his own convention, Clint Eastwood talking to a chair is the only thing anyone remembers and there’s no bump. I don’t think Williard can take too many more “great” months like that. And with what has so far been an excellent Democratic convention coupled with the possibility of a good jobs report, September ain’t looking too good for Williard either.

Note to journalists: try waiting until a story unfolds before writing said story. Just a thought. You’re journalists not psychics.

I’m so sorry, whenever I see Michael Nutter I just think, don’t mention his teeth, don’t mention his teeth, that top lip to teeth ratio is brutal…

having said that, I like Micheal Nutter. Anyone thinks he has a career outside of Philly?

FIRED UP! READY TO GO!

If any one was ever in doubt that we have the most brilliant, most spectacular, most dignified, most focused, most inspirational, most singularly prepared to lead President, tonight they and the world were reminded why Barack Obama RULES!
