This abuser's spouse has suffered repeated violent attacks, yet there has been no condemnation of this Senator's violence. Ironically, this Senator, who is one of the most controversial people in American public life today, has somehow escaped reproach for the one thing that both detractors and admirers should agree is genuinely inexcusable--domestic violence.

Sotto Gilbert Gottfried voce: "Why am I not surprised?"
Those two are straight out of Primary Colors -- which let her off lightly. Both of them have made their beds (in separate rooms), and, frankly, deserve each other. Theirs is a demented, co-dependent domestic partnership.
Americans are so down on President Obama at the moment that, if they could do the 2012 election all over again, they'd overwhelmingly back the former Massachusetts governor's bid. That's just one finding in a brutal CNN poll, released Sunday, which shows Romney topping Obama in a re-election rematch by a whopping nine-point margin, 53 percent to 44 percent. That's an even larger spread than CNN found in November, when a survey had Romney winning a redo 49 percent to 45 percent.

You'll have your bloody chance to vote for Mitt again you feckless, liberal bastards, but you'll have to endure the pain of your actions for a bit longer.
Note: The regime's PR firm is capitalizing on the idiotic impeachment rumor to raise additional firewall money. Never let a good crisis go to waste as they say.
The "firewall" could be a lot of things. The so-called legacy of Obama's presidency. Money for Hillary and a de facto third Obama term. Control of the Senate.
In the end, though, the "firewall" is money to bribe the publicly funded to stay on the Dem plantation. Break the back of that beast and the rest of the beast collapses.

They're upset mostly because they don't have any reason to complain.
Sometimes the worst thing that can happen is you get what you thought you wanted.

Notice that none seem concern they were fed BS (both in commission and omission) by their media sources. No ability to connect the dots. Useful idiots indeed. The Permanent Party Propaganda Machine is worth "nine-point margin".
Remember a 'Free Press' is about the free flow of information, not about the institution culturally referred to as the 'press'.

CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS are fairly far left of FOX. A newcomer to the mix is OAN (One America News). OAN is relatively new, commercial free, reports the news without much spin. Their commentary tends to be conservative. The Washington Times is behind OAN.

W.R.Hammonds, American Politics Guide, ranks the following Pubs by prospects (first 11). You might disagree with the ordering: Pence, Paul, Bush, Ryan, Rubio, Santorum, Romney, Cruz, Walker, Perry, Christie.

Mitt would have been better than Champ, but he also would have been worse. If Mitt had won we'd have banned assault rifles, we'd still be spending at more or less than same rate and taxes would be going up. We'd also still have ObamaCare, albeit with several amendments in place trying to "fix" it.
In 2007 Republicans had the Senate and White House and a working majority on the Supreme Court. What did we do? We banned light bulbs. A Republican even co-sponsored the legislation in the Democrat controlled House. Moral of this story is that we were electing the ***wrong*** Republicans. Mitt is also the wrong sort of Republican.

Iblis. Had Mitt Romney been elected then pêople who dream of larger, much bloodier 9/11s, evenn nuclear ones, would be far less powerful than they are. People tend to not care about Foreign Policy and Defence (BTW cvount the number of programs that have been frozen by Obama) but in fact they are far more important than any other. There a matter of life and death.

Where's Trotsky among the pack of Stalin, Lenin and Beria? I think at a certain point, the distinction become meaningless. We're dealing in shades not separations. It's like a sunspot appears darker than the area around it on the surface, but if placed against a black sky, would appear as bright as any star.

Procupius. The reason I want to know is because if CNN is between Fox and the NBC-CBS-ABC trio then it is no big deal but if it is left npot merely of them but left of NPR then if its followers are wishing they had voted Romney it means a monkey running against the Donks will be elected hands down in 2016.
It will also have consequences on the midterm elections and on the harm Obama can do during its last two years.
#16
Another way of looking at it is to follow the money. NPR is protected by the Donks in Congress, so they don't feel the need to play any games. ABC, NBC, CBS are all protected by the overall financing of the network and their news division is basically 'safe harbored'. CNN is a discrete entity that must sell itself and has watched its view numbers plunging and along with it its revenue to justify its existence, particularly when bean counters have to eventually face economic downsizing (cause the DNC and WH press office don't intend to pay for it particularly when they have backups in the other venues). It is not economically protected as the others are. It needs to seek an audience.

Iblis. You say that we are generation or two away from danger. Well I have children and Obama has made the world a far more dangerous place for them so forgive me if I think there are things maore important than if Romeny would have or would have nopt implemented something similar to Obamacare.
I would say CNN/NPR/MSNBC are far left in all aspects.
NBC/ABC/CBS center left regarding the news they choose to report (or not) and to the left regarding editorial content.
Fox is center right regarding the news they choose to report and a mix that leans between the center (depending upon the issue and the pundit) and far right when it comes to editorial content.
#20
CNN used to be far left in NPR/CNN territory but it is my perception that they are rapidly moving to center, possibly even center right to gain audience. They can't take audience from ABCCBSNBC but they can take audience from Fox. You would not see this on MSNBC or the old CNN. The times they are a changin.

Lived through the Mitt time in Mass. The one thing I was hoping for is that he is very flexible depending on which wheel squeaks loudest. Conservatives and Tea Partiers could have kept him from the really bad extremes.
He has some good principles, just gets carried away with do-gooderism; need to get that reined in.
#23
CNN follows the popular tide, it always has. Now that Obumble is on the way out CNN will be critical until another popular politician comes along to follow blindly and with leg tingles. They follow the advertising dollar, that's all.

It seems Ted Turner sold CNN a few years ago, which would explain why they've struggled differently since he left. But this still is the company that under him reported as Saddam Hussein's people ordered in order to maintain access through the invasion. Does anyone watch them except in airports?
Shot over the bow at FLOTUS as the Beest attempts to move to the center. She can try to make the liberal base happy, which can't be done, or she can move to the center, where no one will trust her. Choices, choices...

Or, by mentioning Africa, she can attempt to keep some semblance of Obama's support from black Americans, which is what she is doing, Besoeker.

You may very well have a point there nmu. She'd be smart to walk softly around FLOTUS and her IQ-67 followers. Wouldn't take more than a soft nudge to send her into creating a separate Feldgendarmerie shaped homeland around northern Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. We'd have our very own 'two state' solution then.

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday: "I'm Ready for Hillary!" I assume that means the driver has ample supplies of food, water and ammunition, plus maybe a Canadian passport.

Is Hilda going to run on the Republican ticket now? She might consider baking cookies to give her a new image (so long as they don't conflict with the healthy guidelines of the current FLOTUS). I suspect Hilda and Moochell are both up to the task of being equally nasty and not particularly likable.
The husband is an American. His wife is British. She applied for a spouse visa in April 2013. As of this writing, they are still waiting for an approval.
"The whole process has been a disaster," the British bride tells me. "It is near impossible to get any information or time estimates."
The State Department demanded that the bride prove she would not be a financial burden to the country.
No, really.
The bride has an English degree. Her husband is the co-owner of a store in the Denver area. She said they were required to prove that they made enough money to live above the poverty threshold.
"This is all to show that the immigrant spouse won't become a financial burden on the country," she said.
Meanwhile, the federal government also required our blushing bride to undergo a rigorous series of medical exams -- totaling $500.
"I was told that if I didn't get that done, I wouldn't get my visa," she said.
So you might imagine her frustration at she watches the Obama administration allow thousands of disease-infected illegals into the country -- and then provides them with medical care -- compliments of the American taxpayer.

This has been going on for years. 'Sponsors' have always had to sign an 'Affidavit of Support' detailing that they will support the immigrant for up to 10 years after they get a job (or until they become naturalized). The feds can sue the sponsor if he doesn't (and I have no doubt they will if your white).
Same for a medical exam and if they find anything your are refused.
This looks like a really bad instance. We went through much the same process (not so long or expensive) when my wife came over from the Philippines on a K-1 visa over a decade ago.
And yes it pisses you off when Obama and company simply allow illegal aliens in with no support, no medical exam, no sponsor, and immediately granted welfare and medical 'benefits'. (And democrat voter registration card no doubt).
Also note that the falsely named 'immigration reform' bill(s) which Congress is touting does nothing to change the 'legal' process of actual immigration (thus it shouldn't be called 'immigration' reform but simply 'Grant of Amnesty').

The Brit woman needs only to slip over the southern border illegally. She may be a bit over-educated and without a criminal record which could be a mark against her.
#5
I think it's not just whites. I work with a Hispanic guy trying to get his wife legalized. He went to a couple of immigration hearings, but since the "children's crisis", further hearings have been delayed.
So the folks following the rules (legal immigrants) get folked while the progressives fall all over each other trying to ease the burden of the illegal immigrants. Bizarroworld.

Time for a class action suit per the 'equal clause' that the judiciary is so fond of.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
