Democrat’s “War On Fox News” Turns Into Hilarious Rout;
Update: Missed Filing Deadline?
” Eric Cantor faces a challenge in November’s midterm election, but if his opponent ends up being Mike Dickinson, Cantor can worry about … well, almost anything else. Dickinson, a Democrat looking for the nomination in VA-07, has pledged to use his campaign to wage “war” on the Tea Party, the NRA, and Fox News. Greta van Susteren offered him a battle last night, and it didn’t take long for Dickinson to turn his war on Fox News into a rout. Via Twitchy, this is must-see TV:”

Democratic Congresswoman Claims Constitution Is 400 Years Old On House Floor
What an idiot . Sheila Jackson Lee doesn’t even know how old our constitutional republic is yet she’s sure that she knows an unconstitutional law when she sees it . The voters of her congressional district must be proud … or just as ignorant as she given that the Honorable Jackson-Lee is the source of one moronic statement after another.
Since Rep Lee has once again brought herself to our attention with another nearly incomprehensible utterance perhaps now is a good time to take a look at the people responsible for foisting the woman on us . The Honorable Jackson Lee represents the people of the 18th congressional district in Texas which encompasses Houston and parts of the surrounding area .
The district which achieved it’s present makeup in a 1972 redistricting has voted completely Democratic since that time . It’s population consists of :
People Demographics
Age Demographics 18th Congressional District Rank Texas US Residents younger than 5 8.9% 3rd 7.5% 6.4% Residents younger than 18 28.1% 10th 26.8% 23.5% Residents 65 or older 8.4% 31st 10.9% 13.7%

Ms Lee has been the 18th district’s representative since first winning election in 1994 . She won the election with over 70% of the vote and during the course of her tenure in the House has never seen less than that and has even approached 90% on several occasions .
Her district went for Obama by 77-23% over McCain in the 2008 presidential election and again for Obama by a nearly identical 76.1-22.8% margin over Romney in 2012 .
As the numbers indicate the job of representing the people district 18 is hers for as long as she desires it and we will have Sheila Jackson Lee and her wisdom to guide us into the foreseeable future . If there is one bright spot in Ms Lee’s history of which Texans can be proud it is the fact that Sheila Jackson was born , raised and educated in New York:
- ” Born in Queens, Queens County, N.Y., January 12, 1950
- Graduated from Jamaica High School
- B.A., Yale University, New Haven, Conn., 1972
- J.D., University of Virginia Law School, Charlottesville, Va., 1975
- Lawyer, private practice
- Staff counsel, United States House Select Committee on Assassinations, 1977-1978
- Member of the Houston, Tex., city council, 1990-1994
- Houston, Tex., municipal judge, 1987-1990
- Elected as a Democrat to the One Hundred Fourth and to the nine succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1995-present).”
We’re guessing that Yale University is not strong on American history requirements considering that Ms Lee is a storied alumnus , but then again she rose through the educational ranks on the rising tide of affirmative action so that may explain the disconnect between her official educational pedigree of Yale and UVa and her many inane public utterances .
No history of a politician would be complete without a quick look at the money behind the candidate to see just who they are obliged to represent and so we give you a snapshot of Sheila’s sugar daddies , the ones that have bankrolled her career from 1994 to the present … there are no surprises … unions , unions , unions .

One last parting shot … when you hear the Dems refer to the Republican’s “war on science” bear in mind that the brilliant Jackson Lee at one time sat on the House Science committee and helped oversee space policy . That’s right , she of the “Is Mars Rover going to visit the site where the astronauts planted the American flag” comment is a recognized “expert” on science and space . Scary , isn’t it ?

White House Rushes To Defend ‘One Of The Leading Statesmen Of Our Time’
(Robert) “Gates’ book, “Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War,” has sent a political shock wave through Washington, with its scathing critiques of Team Obama. Gates left little to the imagination in questioning Obama’s leadership style and commitment to the Afghanistan war. But he was particularly brutal in his assessment of Biden.
Gates called Biden a man of “integrity” but also accused him of “poisoning the well” for military leadership.
“I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

Joe Biden Called And Congratulated The Wrong Man For Boston MayoralElection
Joe always knows just what to say …LOL
” After securing a victory in Tuesday evening’s Boston mayoral election, Democratic mayor-elect Marty Walsh fielded congratulatory phone calls from President Obama and outgoing Mayor Thomas Menino.
Missing from that list? Vice President Joe Biden.
But here’s the catch: Biden did call Marty Walsh. Just not the Marty Walsh.
Instead, he called former Sen. Edward Kennedy campaign staffer Marty Walsh, beginning the conversation with “You son of a gun.” “
You can’t make this stuff up . This gives us a happy excuse to run a video of “Crazy Uncle Joe” highlights . Just for laughs .

As Lead Sponsor In House On Gun Legislation, Rep. Diana DeGette Appears To Not Understand How They Work
Idiot
” Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette has been the lead sponsor on a federal ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines in two Congresses, saying it’s one of her top priorities.
But Tuesday at a Denver Post forum on the gun control debate, the senior congresswoman from Denver appeared to not understand how guns work.
“I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”
What she didn’t appear to understand is that a magazine can be reloaded with more bullets.”

Biden: Americans ‘No Longer Worried’ About Economy
” In remarks today at the White House, Vice President Joe Biden said that Americans don’t have the same economic worries they did when President Barack Obama came into office:
He is right , to a degree … we don’t have the SAME worries … We have countless MORE since he and his boss took over .
” I can’t say I was surprised when I read, via a Drudge link, that John Kerry made his first foreign policy speech as secretary of State on the heavyweight scientific subject of climate change (the perils thereof, of course).
But I did have a chuckle, remembering that sometime during or after the 2004 presidential campaign it was revealed that Kerry did even more poorly at Yale than the supposedly dopey George W. Bush. In fact, the former Massachusetts senator received four “Ds” in his freshman year, including one in geology.
We can assume that our new Sec’y of State is not a science whiz. Nevertheless, Mr. Kerry is apparently certain that anthropogenic global warming is a great danger to the human race and should be the object of a major international effort.
Why does he think so? Because he assumes the vast majority of scientists say so, I would imagine. And also because that’s what thebien pensant think and there is no one more orthodox in his views than John Kerry.
A recent survey of 1077 professional engineers and geoscientists reported by Investor’s Business Daily gives quite a different picture, however: “… it turns out that only 36% believe that human activities are causing Earth’s climate to warm.” Indeed, if you read this study you find that there has been a shift among scientists and engineers away from AGW. And this is leaving out whether warming is ultimately good or bad, that the polar ice cap has been growing by leaps and bounds and that polar bear population is exploding, etc., etc.”
” Biden has a well-earned reputation as a gaffe-maker extraordinaire, and this speech was no exception. In a key passage on the Eurozone debt crisis, Biden referred to Portugal, as Poland, a mistake subsequently corrected in the official White House transcript:
Needless to say, Poland is not even a member of the Eurozone, and its economy is in considerably better shape than that of debt-ridden Portugal. Biden’s blunder is the latest in a series of Obama presidency insults relating to Poland. In May last year Barack Obama was strongly criticised by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk after he described Nazi death camps during World War Two as “a Polish death camp.” Tusk blasted Obama’s statement for its “ignorance, lack of knowledge, (and) bad intentions.” In 2010 Obama chose to play golf on the day of the funeral of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski, the Polish First Lady, and 94 senior officials who were killed in the Smolensk air disaster, an act that was viewed as deeply insensitive by many Poles. In addition, the Obama administration announced the cancellation of Third Site missile defences on September 17, 2009, which also happened to be the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland.”
The Obama Campaign Circus: Biden Day of Gaffe
” Katie Pavlich of TownHall.com has done a heck of a job of tracking Joe Biden’s campaign movements this October; though, today, it hasn’t been all that difficult.
Coincidentally, today is Halloween, but the VP needs no costume to make a statement. He only needs to go as himself to turn heads.
Most of us have probably already heard about Biden’s statement on C-SPAN, saying something about a ‘load’. “
“War is hell. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work and eat as much as a man — when I could get it. As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again. I was hungry and it was your world. Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do. You make love just like a woman, yes, you do. Then you ache just like a woman. But you break just like a little girl. Frailty, thy name is woman!”
