The 113th Congress ---A Hall of Shame

They have voted 46 times to repeal Obamacare---an effort that has no way of winning in the Senate, and the President has assured them he will veto it if it ever reaches his desk

This Congress' record has nothing whatsoever to do with job creation-(remember jobs, jobs, jobs) or the country's economic well-being (a shutdown that cost the country $2 billion (from fiscal conservatives) and disturbed the full faith and credit of the US and gained them nothing but the loss of their brand image and a Governorship in Virginia. What they HAVE been about is bashing homosexuals, harassing illegal immigrants, crusading against abortion, invading a woman's private parts, denying climate change, flirting with birthers (except about Ted Cruz), opposing gun control, and revising science to fit a particular religious model. What bills have they passed? I can not find one bill of consequence in my review of the Congressional Record. I don't see one act of bravery on any of their parts. All that I can see is their continual reference to the Hasterd Rule, which even Dennis Hasterd the supposed namesake, denies that it is his. This is a "do nothing" congress that will go down in history as one that is extremely racist, hateful and obstructionist. The legacy they leave for their children and grandchildren is one of pure disgrace.

The Senate Conservative Fund-The Circular Firing Squad goes Nuclear

A lot of this is from the Rachel Maddow show---sorry no link on her

Right now this extreme conservative group is running ads to unseat 7 Republican incumbent US Senators by airing negative ads and supporting Tea party candidates---one of the most outlandish is their trying to unseat Thad Cochran (R-MS) who is in a safe district for his reelection

the others are Johnny Isakson, GA---Lamar Alexander, TN---Jeff Flake, AZ--Linsey Graham, SC---Richard Burr, NC---and the BIG Kahuna ---Good Ol Senator GRIDLOCK McConnell from Kentucky-----evidently their only crime is that they have not hated Obama enough------The certified nutjob they are supporting in Mississippi is Chris McDaniel---------here's a good site to watch---giving the Grand Old Party a severe whipping---

I hope they spend their whole war chest on these losers

About New Haven

A child of the 60's, a lifelong Democrat and a sense that our elected officials , especially the President, set the tone of civility in our great country. I worked on JFK's campaign and on Barack Obama's (twice). High School Class of 1963 I was moved by MLK's March on Washington, and to see that go full circle and have Barack Obama for President is quite gratifying. When I see remnants of the John Birch society still quite active in the Tea Party/MAGA it strengthens my beliefs and support of the Democratic Party.
