Rush Limbaugh ridiculed John Kerry for a disjointed comment Wednesday.Did he miss what Kerry (and every Democrat politician, this election cycle) is attempting?

Quick – what other ‘group’ has been (wrongly) accused of ‘not offering a health plan’?

Kerry’s comments were made in conjunction with the kidnapping of Nigerian schoolgirls.

At the risk of being accused of paranoia, we expect any minute now that Obama and Harry Reid will soon be linking this to their manufactured ‘GOP war on women’ mantra.

Elderly, senior citizens?

Under Obamacare, health care is already being denied them.

Democrat plan? Blame the health-insurance companies.

Women, youth and minorities?

After 8 years of Democrat policy, unemployment is at its highest level in decades.

Democrat plan? Blame the businesses in the private sector.

Poor and low-income?

Record numbers on food stamps and other gov’t assistance. Why? Democrat policies drive cost-of-living expenses sky-high, most notably energy costs. Driving to work, heating and lighting your home, feeding your family…all affected by energy policy. And a low-income earner’s paycheck is hit disproportionately harder as energy costs go up.

Democrat plan? Blame the Big-Oil companies.

Who wrote and passed Obamacare, and the many laws that regulate the businesses Democrats blame? Who restricts energy supplies, driving up the costs of energy?

The same party that controls the mainstream media, refusing to objectively report this.

Democrats.

And this just in – affecting the Jewish vote…

White House Escalates Secret Media War Against Israel

Reader Mark F believes Obama lying to Americans is the bigger scandal.

Reader Keith K asks how the number of Americans left to their fate was determined.

Politicians lie every day…to get your vote, push an agenda, and hide misdeeds. Sadly, we all know this to be true (‘if you like your health plan’, ‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman’), and, unfortunately, (partisan) Americans are okay with this reality.

BlueCollar maintains embattled Americans in Benghazi would have had no problem in accepting U.S. military help from a lying politician. Whether honest or not, an American President’s first responsibility is to protect Americans. Obama protected his re-election.

Lying just doesn’t rise to the same despicable level as a dereliction of duty that results in dead and wounded Americans summarily left unprotected in harm’s way.

As to the number of Americans left to their fate by that dereliction of duty: various news accounts have guesstimated the survivor count at 30-35. Obama continues hiding them, so, that number is vague. But add the 4 murdered, and that number jumps to 34-39.

40 isn’t a stretch. If Obama et al want to challenge the number, let them present the survivors. (But we would suggest it’s not a good idea holding your breath ’til they do.)

As a former Marine, we don’t care – regardless of the number, to protect Americans…

…real men run TO the fight…not away.

Mark C. reminds us just how seriously Obamacare puts our elderly at risk.

• Medicare recipients face huge financial costs for ‘under observation’ treatment;
• Many life-saving medicines for elderly conditions are not being covered;
• For patients 70-or-over, many procedures (colonoscopy, etc) will be dropped;
• For patients over 76, Obamacare is dropping cancer treatment coverage;

(Unless they’re rich) only two classes of people aren’t at risk…

1. Illegal immigrants;
2. The politicians, who forced Obamacare down your throat!

And there’s only one way to protect your elderly family members from this threat…

…on Nov. 04, 2014, VOTE for the political party that fought against Obamacare.

Remember Obama’s 2009 retort to (then) House minority GOP members…“I won”?

(Then) Speaker Pelosi (d-CA) nodded approvingly…now, finds it a bitter pill to swallow.

Current political makeup of the House has 233 Republicans, 205 Democrats.

(Now) Speaker Boehner should remind Pelosi how it works, this go-round…

…the GOP won the House of Representatives in 2010. And 2012.

But, then, should remind her of who lost…

…Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty.

Rep. Pelosi (d-CA) and Schiff (d-CA) spent Sunday on talk shows scoffing Benghazi accountability, alluding to the ‘it-was-a-video’ lie as old news and partisan retaliation.

They and their political advisors don’t see any value in helping GOP investigations.

Then there are the GOP groups, shrugging  a collective shoulder at ‘just another lie’.

They all ignore the REAL scandal – an American president (writ small justifiably) who deliberately left 40 Americans to their fate in Benghazi, unwilling to send them help.

The attack started around 8pm, and lasted ’til the following morning. Obama and his gutless minions had no idea how long it would last, or how many Americans would die.

For all intents and purposes, he left Americans to die. Why? Because he’s a coward, and made a cold-blooded calculation: better to lose them…then lose an election.

See, sending in the U.S. Military would have revealed his ‘al-Qaeda on its heels’ lie.

Obama has drone-killed – with impunity – in Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, etc; and who can forget our Navy SEALs ‘visiting’ Pakistan to deliver greetings to Usama bin Laden?

He respects no boundary when it comes to killing terrorists at training seminars, high-level meetings, weddings, and camel-auctions…yet not Benghazi on 9-11-2012?

A coward willing to kill terrorists in their daily travels by drone, but unwilling to drone terrorists implacably overrunning an American consulate with murderous intent, makes no sense…except in the context of that ‘protect my re-election’ explanation.

‘The president lied about the video.’ So What? Add it to all his other lies…but focus!

Obama’s laughing his ass off, pleased that everyone is playing in the weeds of ‘lying-about-videos’ and ‘lying about al-Qaeda’, seemingly oblivious to his dereliction of duty.

But there’s no more important duty for a president, than protecting America’s citizens.

And that’s exactly what DID NOT HAPPEN on 9-11-2012. He left them to die.

Only Obama could have authorized that military assistance.

Will anyone in the media focus on the real scandal? Will Democrats stay in denial?

Will voters understand this when they go to the polls this November?

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (d-CA) wants the GOP to honor Cinco de Mayo by passing amnesty.

If she honored the Constitution which defines her political existence, we’d be better off.

As BlueCollar has argued on several occasions, Obamacare is unconstitutional.

Our Constitution requires that all ‘raising Revenue’ bills shall originate in the House.

Article 1, section 7 is very clear. But Obamacare was a Senate-originated bill.

When the Supreme Court ruled on the O’care individual mandate penalty, it decided the law could only be constitutional if the penalty were a ‘tax’…Congress has that power.

What wasn’t argued as an issue in that hearing, was how this ‘tax’ law was created. If it’s a Senate-created bill, it doesn’t pass the ‘shall originate in the House’ requirement.

Classifying Obamacare, then, as a ‘tax’, set the table to argue against its legality.

Those interested should read George Will’s article – he lays out a basic analysis of the issue, and the plain reason why Article 1, section 7 should be O’care’s downfall.

BlueCollar’s been arguing this for over a year. We’re pleased it will have its day in court.

But, will the Constitution prevail at Thursday’s DC Circuit Court of Appeals hearing?

Democrats said it wasn’t a tax when they argued for O’care’s passage, but their lawyers argued it was a tax at the Supreme Court, to justify the individual mandate’s legality.

It ‘wasn’t a tax’, before it ‘was a tax’…but now isn’t a tax?

One can only speculate how far Democrat logic can be stretched now.

Isn’t ‘Obamanomics’ wonderful?

That’s right – CNS reports the April female labor force was down 340k from March…

…yet the unemployment rate for women dropped, from 6.6% to 6.1%.

Yep…340,000 employable women lost jobs or stopped looking for work in April, yet in some mysterious way, the unemployment rate for women dropped 0.5%.

Only in Obama-world can so many women losing their job drive a jobless rate down. Only the tortured logic of Obama’s BLS could try to make this claim a reality.

‘Cuz, based on that scenario, to get the all-important ‘woman’s vote’ in the upcoming election, all Democrats need do is drive the female jobless rate down to 0%…

…by driving 4.1 million more women out of the labor force.

(Problem is, we wouldn’t put it past them to do it.)

“You guys are all just trying to bring Barack Obama down.”

Looking beyond the snarky tone of reader Anita K’s comment, we suggest she pictures her Mom in Benghazi as an American private contractor, on the evening of 9-11-2012.

Anita, you’re home in Podunk, California, glued to a TV set, as reports of terrorists attacking our American outpost continue…and your Mom may be in that building.

Through the night, reports of fighting continue. But there’s no mention of your president sending assistance to those under attack. Strangely, no one knows where Obama is.

You learn 4 Americans were killed; no military assistance was sent; their lie about a video causing the incident is exposed as a deception; and…TO THIS DAY… the location then, of the one person who could have sent the military in to help, is still unknown.

Days, maybe weeks later, you learn your Mom is okay…maybe wounded…but okay.

But you knew, for the 7-8 hrs it lasted, 30-40 Americans…including your Mom…were in harm’s way, and could have been killed at any time during that overnight terror attack.

And the same guy, Barack Obama, who photo-op’d ad nauseam during a Navy SEAL hit on Usama bin Laden, suddenly grew camera-shy; doesn’t want you to know his location during the Benghazi attack; and won’t answer why he refused to send help?

(And, dare we add, all of this just 6 weeks* before an election?)

Put yourself in the shoes of those Americans being attacked…or in their family’s shoes.

If that doesn’t work…

…picture George W. Bush trying to get away with the same thing while President…

Yeah…Benghazi accountability matters.

It may have happened 19 months ago, but Americans today are serving overseas. You think they won’t care where Obama is, or what he does…during the NEXT attack?

Which means our earlier post understated the number of reasons for accountability.

Thousands of Americans overseas hope next time he acts like a sitting President…

…not a running politician.
