SHOCK!!! SEN. CLAIRE McCASKILL BETRAYS PREZ OBAMA ON IMMIGRATION AND EARNS SOCIAL MEDIA DEMOCRAT BACKLASH!!!
Mainstream media is glossing over this important tibit but it seems that Sen. Claire McCaskill's attempt to butch up her image amid Red State Missouri domination isn't working.
To wit . . .
RIGHT NOW BACKLASH OVER PREZ OBAMA BETRAYAL ON IMMIGRATION IS HITTING SEN. CLAIRE McCASKILL HARD AND FAST VIA SOCIAL MEDIA!!!
According to Show-Me Progress . . . Sen. Claire posted:
"Our immigration system is broken, and I support a comprehensive plan to fix it, but executive orders aren't the way to do it. The system can only be truly fixed through legislation by Congress. The Senate's comprehensive plan got overwhelming bipartisan approval, and Republicans in the U.S. House have sat on their hands for a year-and-a-half, refusing to even consider that bill. They should quit stalling, get to work, and do their jobs-debate the comprehensive plan that passed the Senate with a two-thirds margin." -Claire
The best response among similar slathered all over her wall . . .
"So when the chips are down, Claire, where do you really stand? I'm so tired of your 'bipartisan' platitudes. Families are suffering because of our broken system. You are part of the problem and I wish Missouri had a better Democrat representing us..."
What have we learned . . .
SEN. CLAIRE'S SILLY ATTEMPT TO TOUGHEN UP HER IMAGE IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE GOP RED STATE TIDAL WAVE HAS ONLY SERVED TO FURTHER ALIENATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPPORT . . . ALSO, REPUBLICANS STILL DON'T LIKE HER!!!
And while we all like to pretend that these people are geniuses or somehow elite . . . It seems Sen. Claire have little to any support to govern in Missouri and even less after her current split with hardline factions of the Democratic Party.
Developing . . .
Yeah! Let's not work together to find solutions as a country, let's just bicker like irredeemable fuckwits based on our Fox News Marching Orders.
ReplyDeleteExcept for chuck. we all agree he can die right now.
let's not forget, our lovable US Senate has not passed a budget in about 6 years, thus the merry-go-round of resolutions and govt shut-down threats ad naseum!
ReplyDelete"and Republicans still don't like her". I doubt if her dog even likes her.
ReplyDeleteBlast From the Past:
ReplyDeleteClaire McCaskill: 'Other People's Money' and Marijuana
By Jon N. Hall
In its Midwest Voices series, The Kansas City Star (a McClatchy newspaper) regularly runs guest commentaries by "citizen journalists." Because the Star is a left-wing outfit and almost invariably endorses Democrat candidates, many of these articles aren't very edifying. But on Saturday, November 3, the paper ran a 567-word article by Stephan Brewer, who operates his own business providing marketing research and marketing consulting to law firms in the U.S. and Canada, and it definitely tilted conservative.
Mr. Brewer's fine article, "Tuesday's election mirrors the war on drugs," has a central metaphor, which is that OPM, or "other people's money," is a drug.
Brewer describes how both politicians and citizens get hooked on OPM and what they must do to sustain their habit. Near the end of his essay, Brewer addresses the Missouri race for U.S. Senate (hyperlinks added):
In Missouri, you can also vote for a leading Obama lackey and Obamacare supporter, Sen. Claire McCaskill. She is one of the wealthiest members of Congress.
Yet during her first term, she "forgot" to pay more than $300,000 in property taxes on her $1.9 million private planeover four years. McCaskill also had to reimburse the government more than $88,000 that she illegally charged to taxpayers for nearly 90 personal trips on her plane.
That a sitting U.S. senator who has spent trillions of dollars we don't have (and which must be paid for by generations of taxpayers as yet unborn) would cheat on her taxes should be disqualifying. (Unless, of course, one simply must have free contraceptives paid for with...OPM.)
Mr. Brewer's drug metaphor brings up another McCaskill issue that some folks may not be aware of. Mike Hendricks of the Star reports:
It wasn't the first time personal issues rose up to bite her. In her first run for county prosecutor, her opponent in the primary ran an ad accusing her and then-husband Exposito of owning an investment property where drug paraphernalia was found scattered inside.
"It was a devastating ad," Glorioso says, especially for someone like McCaskill, who was promising to get tough on drug offenders. "It started a trend where Claire always had a personal problem in the campaign."
Two years later, Exposito was arrested for smoking marijuana at the Argosy Casino. McCaskill, who was out of town on business at the time of the arrest, painted herself as a wronged spouse.
"I am deeply saddened, disappointed and shocked,"she said in a written statement, then quipped: "It's going to take about a month before I can resist the urge to kill him."
Again in the current campaign, she and her current husband are being accused by Akin of profiting from federal stimulus dollars. In TV ads, Akin calls her "corrupt Claire."
Now, I have a libertarian streak and think that marijuana should be decriminalized. Nonetheless, the law is the law, and when McCaskill's then-husband got busted for smoking pot -- she was the Jackson County, Missouri prosecutor!
So the question becomes: what did McCaskill know about her husband's drug use, and when did she know it?
If the hypocrisy of lawmakers who load your grandchildren up with trillions of dollars of debt and then "fail" to pay their own taxes isn't enough to stick in your craw, then maybe the hypocrisy of public officials who incarcerate Americans for crimes they themselves have committed might be enough. President Obama, the chief law enforcement officer in the country, admitted in print to heavy usage of marijuana, and "maybe a little blow."
What are her views on unsolicited bulk email?
ReplyDeleteWhat liberals refuse to understand is that Claire is the most liberal Democrat that can be elected from MO. There is a reason that there was never a Senator Harriet Woods. Liberals just need to lie back and think of Bernie Sanders or Paul Wellstone or whoever it is that makes you tingle. Because, like it or not, Claire is as good as it gets for you.
ReplyDeletePlus, give her credit for not totally blowing up the Democratic coalition. If the white working class vote for the D's approaches the Black vote for the R's, you can write off the D's forever.
Has she EVER had an original thought of,her own?
ReplyDelete12:41 Never heard that talk from the left wing before the election, but you are right it has to start somewhere. Like issues of past it will be the Republicans that are the bigger people and suck it up to do whats best for the country.
ReplyDeleteThe Immigration System is not broke. Enforce the Immigration Laws now on the books and secure the borders.
ReplyDeleteHey Claire.....go fuck yourself.....and take Obuma
ReplyDeletewith you !
If these damned frijoles want to go north, why don't they go on to Canada?
