Turn Kentucky Blue – A Republican World – Obstruction – ‘McConnell Promises Government Shutdown Wars In A GOP Majority’

‘Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) promised in no uncertain terms that he’d use must-pass spending bills to force confrontations with President Barack Obama over policy reforms if he’s elected majority leader’.

“We’re going to pass spending bills, and they’re going to have a lot of restrictions on the activities of the bureaucracy,” McConnell told Politico while traveling on his campaign bus across Kentucky’.

“That’s something he won’t like, but that will be done. I guarantee it.”

The Kentucky Republican added that Obama “needs to be challenged, and the best way to do that is through the funding process.”

‘Since they took control of the House in 2011, Republicans have forced a series of standoffs by attempting to use the appropriations process to make policy changes they otherwise lack the votes for in Congress’.

‘They’ve sought to attach extraneous provisions — known as riders’ —

1. ‘Involving everything from restricting abortion rights’,
2. ‘Undoing coal pollution regulations and’,
3. ‘Of course, defunding Obamacare’,

‘Which led to the first shutdown since 1996 last fall’.

‘Republicans haven’t been able to get any of these measures out of Congress because they’ve been stiff-armed by the Democratic-led Senate’.

‘McConnell is planning to change that if his party wins the Senate by adopting conservative policy provisions in spending bills that Obama can either sign or veto at risk of a government shutdown’.

“He would have to make a decision on a given bill, whether there’s more in it that he likes than dislikes,” he said’.

WHAT THE F&^% THURSDAY – ‘Rush Limbaugh Links The Feds & Ferguson To Benghazi’!

‘Just about everything annoys Rush Limbaugh about the Micheal Brown shooting in MO as you would naturally assume’.

‘He’s also a little upset that the Obama administration and the feds are looking into the mess in Ferguson, MO., but were nowhere to be found in Benghaziiiiii’!

Rush Limbaugh: “How many FBI agents went-to-Benghazi, to investigate what had happened there”?

‘The FBI is an American based organization after all, Rush’.

‘Currently, the FBI’s top investigative priorities are’:

‘Protect the United States from terrorist attacks (see counter-terrorism)’;

‘Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage (see counterintelligence)’;

‘Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes (see cyberwarfare)’;

‘Combat public corruption at all levels’;

‘Protect civil rights’;

‘Combat transnational/national criminal organizations and enterprises (see organized crime)’;

‘Combat major white-collar crime’;

‘Combat significant violent crime’.

‘Rush should notice that “civil rights,” is one of their primary missions in the United States. Investigating possible terrorist acts outside the U.S. doesn’t fall under their purview at all’.

But….Benghazzzzzzziiiiii?????

WHAT THE F&^% THURSDAY – ‘Fox Panelist Wishes Obama Would Act As Strongly As He Did After Benghazi’

WHAT??????

‘Obama delivered a statement Wednesday from Martha’s Vineyard that strongly condemned the Islamic State, a militant group that has overrun parts of Iraq and Syria and that released a video this week showing the execution of photojournalist James Foley’.

“Jim Foley’s life stands in stark contrast to the killers,” Obama said, adding that “no just god would stand for what they do every day.”

“I would have liked to hear a bit more fire in that belly, especially because there is an American, another journalist that is being threatened to be beheaded by the same terror group,” said “Outnumbered” panelist Andrea Tantaros’.

‘Where’s that Rose Garden press conference after Benghazi, fight and fervor’? I think people are waiting for it, and again, we didn’t hear it.”

 

‘In the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks, conservatives insisted that the Obama administration had avoided branding the assault on the American consulate as terrorism because they were trying to cover up a scandal’.

A Republican World – Keeping Government ‘Out Of Your Life’ Except When Republicans Don’t Like What You Do Or Who You Are – ‘Supreme Court Halts Gay Marriage In Virginia’

‘The Supreme Court granted an emergency request on Wednesday to halt gay marriage in Virginia just hours before same-sex couples would have been legally allowed to wed’.

‘Chief Justice John Roberts, who has jurisdiction over emergency injunction requests in the region, referred the matter to the full Supreme Court, which granted the stay’.
