Most Hilarious Spin EVER

Published by Mockarena on September 1, 2010 in Really?. 15 Comments Tags: , , .

According to this, Harry Reid’s campaign has decided on its defense of his now infamous statement a couple years ago, when he said that the Iraq war was lost.  And it’s a doozy, folks.

The campaign’s explanation is this (emphasis mine):

“At the time Sen. Reid made this comment, President Bush had been pursuing a failed, stay-the-course strategy that had cost thousands of American lives and billions of taxpayer dollars. Iraq appeared to be on the verge of a sectarian civil war. He was simply pointing out what our military leaders, including Gen. Petraeus, had been saying for months: that we could not win by staying the course; the war needed to be won diplomatically, politically, and economically. Sen. Reid and his colleagues were successful in forcing President Bush to finally abandon his failed approach and refocus on political reconciliation. This is what ultimately paved the way for the Iraqi government to take greater responsibility for Iraq’s future. Sen. Reid’s comments were directed at President Bush and his following of misguided policymakers, not at the heroic troops who continue to serve our country with incredible courage.”

Yes.  The reason that the surge ultimately worked, you guys, is because Senator Harry Reid was successful in forcing Bush to change course and “pave the way” for the Iraqi government to take greater responsibility.  They’re serious about this.

So let’s all pause a moment, and give a silent prayer of thanks for the foresight and courage Harry Reid showed in proclaiming the Iraq war to be lost, shall we?

Another Example Of Respect Given To Constituents

Published by Mockarena on August 25, 2010 in Really?. 8 Comments Tags: , , .

Kidding. This isn’t respect. This is Russ Carnahan (D-MO) TOTALLY IGNORING his constituent’s question. No particular reason given – just blatant disrespect and disregard.

It’s a valid question, because it truly separates those who believe in common sense and decency from those who don’t. And it’s also an easy question. Even for a dufus like Harry Reid, for crying out loud.

Russ has forgotten to whom he reports, and it’s a common problem amongst congressional leaders these days. We just need to remind them by firing them in November.

Marco Rubio SLAMS Harry Reid

You guys, remember when Harry Reid said that America was ready to elect Obama because he was a “light-skinned” African American with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one?” Good times.

And now he’s at it again. He said he doesn’t know why ANY Hispanic person would be a Republican. Yeah. Marco Rubio had something to say about that:

Harry Reid – you, sir, are a moron.

Obama’s Deficit Commission Is Over Budget

Published by Mockarena on June 7, 2010 in Chicks For Mitch and Really?. 6 Comments Tags: , , , , .

You can’t make this stuff up, you guys.

According to this, that deficit reduction commission of Obama’s, the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, doesn’t have enough money to do what it’s been asked to do.

They’ve been given till December 1 of this year to figure out a way to reduce the nation’s debt and stop the deficit from swelling further by 2015.   But apparently, they don’t have enough staff and they don’t have a big enough budget to meet that expectation.  Harry Reid, who co-chairs the commission, says they need MORE MORE MORE, even though $500,000 in operating costs and an equivalent of four full time salaries has been allocated already.

I know how to fix this.  Just throw Mitch Daniels and Paul Ryan and Chris Christie in a room together for about 6 hours, and act on every idea they come out of the room with.

Problem solved.

“Chicken Costumes Banned At Nevada Polling Places”

Published by Mockarena on May 23, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 7 Comments Tags: , , .

That is the Actual Headline of this article.

Election officials have added chicken suits to the list of things that are banned at polling places, because apparently Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden commented that people ought to be able to negotiate directly with doctors about the cost of care, and said, for comparison purposes, “like when our grandparents would bring a chicken to the doctor.” Democrats have since set up a website called Chickens for Checkups and they’ve been sending volunteers in chicken suits to Lowden’s campaign events.

Personally, I think that’s totally hilarious, but I suppose I can see why they’re banned, seeing as how political shirts and hats and other items like that aren’t allowed. Still, I think it’d be cool if Lowden just laughed off the whole thing. Her campaign manager, though, thought the ban was a good decision. He said, “I think voters will be spared the Harry Reid carnival and that’s a good thing. I think most voters are going to the polls thinking about far greater things than Harry Reid’s chickens.”

I don’t know – I think this would be a good opportunity for Lowden’s volunteers to show they’ve got a sense of humor. Maybe they could dress up in, say, rooster costumes, and hold signs that say, “Using chicken suits to belittle Sue Lowden? We cry fowl.”

Harry Reid Is (Still) Delusional

Published by Daisy on April 6, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 5 Comments Tags: , , , .

Here he is talking about the kickbacks and rationalizing what a bunch of crooks the Democratic party is.

He also thinks that people are THRILLED with having Obamacare shoved down their throats. Aaaand, he believes that his poll numbers for reelection are actually good.

So, let’s recap. Living in a fantasy world of complete ignorance and making a sh*tload of money at the expense of U.S. taxpayers must be fun.

If You Were Looking For More Evidence Of How Completely Stupid Harry Reid Is, Look No Further.

This is a couple years old, but a friend of mine just posted it on Facebook, and I hadn’t seen it before, and the more I watched the more horrified I became that anyone ever voted for this clown EVER.

Wow. This is the SENATE MAJORITY LEADER, you guys. And he’s getting schooled by Jan Helfeld, a documentary filmmaker, on the subject of taxation.

Reconciliation Process Stuff

Published by Mockarena on March 12, 2010 in Chicks For Mitch and General Political Mockery. 3 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

Uh oh. This isn’t going to sit well with Democrats.

According to this, the Senate Parliamentarian says that Obama has to sign the original healthcare bill BEFORE the Senate can move on a reconciliation package.

That’s going to be a problem, since the House has absolutely no faith in the Senate doing anything they say they’re going to do. House Democrats have been trying to figure out how they can ensure that the adjustments they want made to the bill will happen AFTER they vote for it. And now it’s looking less and less like they’ll be able to have any faith at all in those adjustments happening. The Slaughter Solution is out.

And in a total act of desperation to save face, Harry Reid sent a snippy letter to Mitch McConnell yesterday, basically saying that Republicans have used reconciliation in the past and tossing around the standard talking points about how the bill is all roses and sunshine and Skittles, and that if Republicans want to vote against roses and sunshine and Skittles, well, then that’s perfectly within their right. You should read the letter. It’s so pitiful. I mean, even if he’d concluded the letter with a “neener neener neener” it couldn’t have been more pathetic.

Granted, he threw a bone to McConnell, by saying that Republicans would have “an opportunity to offer amendments and change the shape of the legislation.” Except that that’s utter bullcrap, and anyone with an Actual Brain knows that.

Tune in tomorrow, when I’m sure there’ll be all sorts of new rules and regulations and laws that allow Democrats to do exactly as they please. I can’t imagine Obama and Nancy and Harry will rest until they push this through one way or another.

This Is What Universal Healthcare Looks Like.

Published by Daisy on February 23, 2010 in Choppy McBotox (Nancy Pelosi) and General Political Mockery. 28 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , .

It looks like this dude:

In case you don’t know this dude, he’s Danny Williams, the ninth Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. He’s a public servant of Canada. A supporter of Canada and its politics. And by being a public servant of the country, he’s probably a big supporter of the whole Canadian healthcare system. You know.

Interesting thing, though. He just got back from Miami (one of those cities in the United States where right now, at least, there is no socialized medicine and all) “to have a minimally invasive” surgery for an ailment first detected nearly a year ago, based on the advice of his doctors.”

His statement about fleeing to the U.S. for decent, as opposed to sh*tty, universal Canadian healthcare:

“This was my heart, my choice and my health. I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics.”

Isn’t that convenient for him? I thought so, too, seeing as how he has gobs of money and can afford to fly himself to the United States for a “minimally-invasive” surgery at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in sunny Miami. Must be nice when everyone else in your country has to wait in line for such things, Mr. Hypocrite Man.

He went on to say that “his decision to go to the U.S. did not reflect any lack of faith in his own province’s health care system.”

“I have the utmost confidence in our own health care system in Newfoundland and Labrador, but we are just over half a million people,” he said.

Riiiiight. And if you believe that, I have this great pyramid scheme you may be interested in as well.

I’d just like to point out that this guy is no different than the Reids and Pelosis and Obamas who are shoving “universal” healthcare down your throat. Make no mistake, people – THEY WON’T FREAKIN’ USE IT, BECAUSE IT’LL SUCK. But guess what? You’ll have to – because you’re a stupid commoner lemming who really needs the big, smart government to make such choices for you.

Yay for all us stupid commoner lemmings and that whole “reformed” healthcare thing. GAWD.

It’s A Good Thing Mr. Mock Has A Job…

…because otherwise, he would probably kick my a$$.

That is, according to Harry Reid, who said today that domestic violence incidents are on the rise due to unemployment.

This was part of his argument to get the $15 billion jobs bill passed.   He said, “Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive. “  Women out of work?  Not as big of a deal, apparently.  The infinitely wise Harry explained, “Women don’t have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time.”

Obama Preaches About Frugality. Las Vegas Gets Mad.

Published by Mockarena on February 2, 2010 in Really?. 1 Comment Tags: , , .

Hey – remember when Las Vegas got all huffy with Obama because he said last year, “You can’t go take that trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on taxpayers’ dime” referring to companies who receive federal funding having their retreats in Sin City? And remember how Las Vegas tourism Actually Suffered as a result?

Well, he’s at it again. In New Hampshire this week at a town hall, Obama said, “When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.”

Side note: Is it just me, or does anyone else find it positively HILARIOUS that Obama believes he’s a credible person to talk about “tightening belts?” He’s talking to a TOWN HALL, presumably filled with regular Americans who probably ARE struggling and scrimping and saving. And in waltzes Obama the katchillionaire, telling them how to not blow all their cash. That’s like Heidi Montag lecturing young women on how to appreciate their God-given beauty.

Anyway, Las Vegas is mad again. Most notably, Sen. Harry Reid, who said, “The President needs to lay off Las Vegas and stop making it the poster child for where people shouldn’t be spending their money.”

I find this whole thing amusing. One could argue that Obama is definitely not doing any favors for Harry’s campaign effort, but who knows – maybe Harry comes out looking like a hero for standing up for his state.

Or maybe his approval ratings continue to plummet, because he’s Harry Reid.

Harry McSaggyFace Learns A Harsh Reality: You Can’t Buy Friends

According to this, Harry Reid raised $2 million in the fourth fundraising quarter. He spent $2.1 million on advertisements to make him look like less of a complete blowhard.

With all that spending, Reid begins the new year with $8.7 million in his campaign account — a formidable sum, but less money than he banked last September. And the ads have not improved his low popularity back home, with a new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll showing his approval rating down to 36 percent.

And that 36 percent? It’s down seven percent from a little over a month ago.

The Republicans running against him haven’t raised as much money as him – he’s apparently pretty good at getting people to empty their pockets for jack squat in return – but the outlook is still pretty darn good for conservatives.

In a match-up with Reid, the GOP’s Lowden now earns 48% of the vote while Tarkanian picks up 50% of the Nevada vote against Reid. In December, both had 49% support.

A third Republican contender, former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, now beats Reid 44% to 40%, with 10% opting for another candidate and seven percent (7%) undecided. In the previous survey, Angle bested Reid 47% to 43% in December, while seven percent (7%) liked another candidate and three percent (3%) weren’t sure.

If he keeps his gaping piehole shut about healthcare, that could give him another edge, I believe. However, I think people are pretty disillusioned at this point, and I think the American people are smart enough to know what made his poll numbers go down in the first place.

I am SO looking forward to a flat-out awesome November.
