News sources report the Democrat-controlled Senate passed an anti-discrimination gay rights bill. There are already laws for that…so this just amounts to political theater.

Reid and his Democrat cohort think these types of bills passed over the next year will make House Republicans look bad if they don’t pass them, or bring them up for a vote.

Then Democrats can hammer Republicans before the 2014 elections, hoping by doing so it will distract from the Democrats’ O’care disaster, and drain votes from the GOP.

You can expect the same type of theater to be employed over the next 12 months for every voter group the Democrats want to exploit…women, youth, Hispanics, blacks, etc.

House Republicans can do a lot to defuse these efforts by bringing up honorary renewal ‘testimonial affirmation’ votes on every existing law that already covers their issues.

Such a move will reveal the Senate Democrats wasting time…and taxpayer dollars…and help highlight Republican efforts over the years to improve conditions for those groups.

Republicans know who the Democrats will play to. If the GOP have an ounce of pro-active sense…they won’t wait for the Senate Democrats to pull their shenanigans.

Getting in front of the Democrat tactics now would set Reid-&-Co. back on their heels.

(For a change…)

BlueCollar suggestion: after the House GOP uses a ‘testimonial affirmation’ of existing law to defuse this gay rights bill, the next affirmation should be the ’64 Civil Rights Act.

Fought for by the GOP over heated debate – and protracted filibusters – by Democrats.

Then honor the 1854 founding of the Republican Party…by anti-slavery activists.

Then honor the GOP laws that resulted in youth and women employment to skyrocket.

(And contrast that with this administration’s dismal performance for those same groups.)

Etc., etc., etc…

Few have noticed the negative incentive directed at marriage in Obamacare.

Boiled down, because of the income-levels that affect subsidies, some married couples are considering divorce – with a single lower income, they’ll each qualify for subsidies.

Why would a healthcare law encourage being single?

For the curious, a look at exit-polling demographics may hold a clue. Locally and nationally, a large majority of single women vote Democrat, election after election…

…and Obamacare offers women financial rewards to be single…or become single.

Deliberate?

Just asking…

When even a president of the United States proves to be a liar, how do you vote?

Easy…in a 2-party system like we have, choose the Party platform you prefer.

The basic platforms drive America down very different paths. Democrats want Big Government, higher taxes, and heavily regulated business. Republicans support free-market principles & business, and (not often enough) smaller government.

Business and the free-market drives America.

Next time someone says you can’t trust any politician, give ’em that for an answer.

They’re falling all over themselves, praising Chris Christie for his NJ win. Christie, basking in post-election bliss, crowned himself as a ‘conservative’.

Really?

In New Jersey that’s not saying much…regardless of national media adulation.

Compared to Corzine, Jimmy Carter could have called himself a Republican in Jersey. A record like Christie’s would make him a Democrat anywhere else in GOP-ville.

A Jersey resident has interesting details of Christie’s ‘less-than-conservative’ agenda. Worth a read, but the final exclamation point on a ’16 presidential run is made by CNN.

‘Cuz, before the media crowns him as leader of GOP hopefuls for the 2016 presidential race, they should try explaining this:

How does a moderate Republican…who ‘won’ the women’s vote big in New Jersey (16% with most of the vote counted)…

…still manage to be 4 points BEHIND Hillary Clinton in exit polling, when asked about presidential preferences for the 2016 race?!!?

When a liberal news group like CNN sees that as a problem for Christie, Republicans should pay extremely close attention.

After 2008 (McCain) and 2012 (Romney), it should be very clear that the crucial swing states see ‘moderate’ Republicans as less preferable than a Democrat.

Especially when an uber-liberal media outlet like CNN raises a red flag…

The answer for the GOP in 2016 isn’t…more moderates.

Unless, of course, Republicans want another Clinton as President…?

A Libertarian candidate in Virginia may have pulled votes away from the Republican, giving the Democrat Clinton-frontman McAuliffe a victory with only 47% of the vote.

And a story alleges the Libertarian was funded by a Democrat bundler.

That’s how unpopular politicians get elected in tight races. Dupes from 3rd parties, with no chance of winning, are talked into the race to drain votes from their opponent.

The irony?

Libertarians believe in ‘minimum government’…but allowing himself to be duped into this Virginia race, Sarvis may have helped a ‘Big Government’ Democrat get elected.

That’s the danger of 3rd party ideas, voiced by Republicans. It always splits their vote.

The solution is not a 3rd party…the solution is running strong primary candidates as alternatives to status quo Republicans who don’t seem capable of getting the job done.

Virginia is a battleground state in national elections.

Libertarians have a right to get their ideas out there, and test the waters for voter sentiment. But in close races like Virginia, if a Libertarian has no hope, that candidate should pull out and endorse a small-gov’t Republican rather than a Big Gov’t alternative.

That alternative is NEVER a good thing.

A great montage that shows the liar lying.

And, please, who’s really surprised, now that he lies about not lying…?

The Big Question: on ANY issue, who’s willing to trust him now…?

Sunday, Obama accused the Tea Party GOP of hijacking the nation.

This from the president of a Democrat Party that locked Americans out of the process, locked Republicans out of the legislative negotiations…and voted in Obamacare despite overwhelming negative polling for the planned healthcare law by the American people?

If anyone’s an expert on this, it’s the ‘Hijacker-in-Chief’ and his Democrat cohort.

A ’70’s era bumper sticker read…”don’t steal, the government hates competition”…

Today’s bumper sticker should read…

…’don’t hijack America… the Democrats hate competition’.

A reader of our ‘Liar’ post says the problem stems from GOP states that took advantage of opting out of state exchanges, and that’s what caused the O’care difficulties.

Errrr…it was the Democrat Party that included the opt-out clause in their law.

So, in this reader’s mind…FOLLOWING this Democrat law is obstructionist…?

C’mon you Liberals…try a little harder, okay?

Open message to the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, ABC, NBC, & CBS…

You’re all LIARS.

Blaming Republicans for Obamacare’s many failures is like blaming water for pooling up behind a dam. Democrats built it behind closed doors…they need to own it.

Democrats slammed the door on C-SPAN transparency during the run-up to the bill’s negotiations, locked Republicans out of the crafting process, and wrote it in secret.

Not one Republican voted for the final bill.

Democrats wrote it behind locked doors, passed it on Party-line votes, and have had full responsibility for its implementation (or, more accurately…failure thereof).

Ironically, the only actions carried out against Obamacare have been by Democrats and Obama, in the form of canceled segments, waivers, exemptions and (illegal) delays.

Democrats and Obama forced a gov’t shutdown, to make sure O’care was funded.

They bragged about forcing the GOP to fund it, bragged about a powerless GOP…yet now, in their next breath, they claim Republicans are responsible for its failures?

It bears repeating… …the law, and its implementation, has been the sole responsibility of Democrats. No amount of media lies or Democrat spin can refute that simple truth.

And those who would believe such deceit are ‘lie if we must’ Liberals themselves.

When your Liberal buddy tries to tell you its the GOP, ask him for one example.

And, please, send any such examples to BCP for analysis (it won’t take much).

BlueCollar welcomes the opportunity to hear if there are any out there.

He isn’t going. Why would this president want to honor the Gettysburg Address?

After all, Obama’s only the first black president (with apologies to Bill Clinton).

Could it be because it might shine a spotlight on the fact that the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, guided America through a war that ended slavery?

Or that it reminds voters the Republican Party was started by anti-slavery activists?

Might cost some ‘Jim Crow-Bull Connor-KKK legacy’ Democrats a few votes

Wouldn’t want those little nuggets of information to resurface before Nov ’14 elections…
