Alabama House of Representatives: Four House Dems (Boothe, Millican, Vance & Hurst) Switch Parties Gives GOP Super Majority

The 2010 midterm election, the gift that keeps on giving …

The backlash continues against the Democrat party as dividends continues to come in from the 2010 midterm elections. The biggest story of the 2010 midterm elections was not the GOP pick ups in the US House, Senate and Governorships … it was that in the state Houses. Guess what, it just increased again. What an impact this will have for the 2012 elections and the next decade.

As if the Republicans did not benefit enough from the political tsunami that took place on November 2, 2010 when the GOP gained 680 state legislature seats, the hits keep on coming. In Alabama, four Democrat House members just switched from Donkeys to Elephants and have given the GOP a super-majority in the Alabama House. Representatives Alan Boothe of Troy, Mike Millican of Hamilton, Lesley Vance of Phenix City and Steve Hurst of Munford all have seen the handwriting on the wall and abandoned the Democrat party.

All four lawmakers who made the jump to the Republican party said they felt their views were more aligned with the Republican Party. Look for this to be a pattern in the future on the state and national level, especially if Obama. Pelosi and Reid continue their far Left agenda against the will of the people. The 2010 midterms showed that any Democrat in a conservative or middle of the road district or state is vulnerable.

Republicans now have a super-majority in the Alabama House after four Democrats defected and joined the GOP on Monday.

Rep. Alan Boothe of Troy, Rep. Mike Millican of Hamilton, Rep. Lesley Vance of Phenix City and Rep. Steve Hurst of Munford all jumped ship on Monday, giving Republicans 66 seats in the House and a filibuster-proof majority.

62 and counting, make it 63 … for a total of 242 House seats.

The House Republican gains from the 2010 midterm elections have reached 62, correction 63 seats from the 2010 midterm elections. US Rep Solomon Ortiz (D-TX) conceded defeat to Republican challenger Blake Farenthold in the Texas 27th Disctrict race.  This victory completes one of 2010′s biggest upsets on the House side and brings the number of GOP House gains this year to 62.

Rep. Solomon Ortiz (D-Texas) conceded defeat to Republican challenger Blake Farenthold late Monday after the recount he requested barely made a dent in the Republican’s election night lead. Farenthold’s final margin of victory stood at 648 votes.

Velma Hart, the Woman who Told President Obama She was scared about her Financial Future & Tired of Defending Him Has Lost Her Job

Who would have ever thought that we would ever hear the name Velma Hart, ever again? Hey Velma, how’s that Obama “hopey, changey” stuff working for ya?

Yes Velma Hart … this is your new reality. It looks like “franks and beans” will be in Velma Hart’s future after all … Yet another dissatisfied Obama voter and supporter.

Velma Hart, the woman who embarrassed President Barack Obama on a national stage of the CNBC Town Hall and told the president that she was worried about her financial future and was exhausted of defending “The One’s” policies has been laid off and lost her job. How sad and ironic is it that the face of “WE THE PEOPLE” questioning President Barack Hussein Obama and his pathetic and failed job recovery and economic policies has in fact lost her job.

I’m also a mother, I’m a wife, I’m an American veteran, and I’m one of your middle-class Americans.

Quite frankly, I’m exhausted. Exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the man for change I voted for, and deeply disappointed with where we are right now. I’ve been told that I voted for a man who said he was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class. I’m one of those people and I’m waiting, sir, I’m waiting.

Confirmed … The Jaw Bone Found in Aruba Does Not Belong to Natalee Holloway (Update: Official Statement)

BREAKING NEWS ARUBA …

It has been confirmed by Aruba officials this afternoon, the jaw bone found recently on the beach near the Phoenix Hotel DOES NOT belong to Natalee Holloway. The long awaited answer that was thought to provide some clarity to the mystery of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway … remains a mystery.

Authorities said dental records used to compare the small amount of the DNA on the bone did not match.

“Based on dental records, it can be ruled out that the bone fragment came from Natalee Holloway,” the Aruban Prosecutor’s Office siad in a statement.

UPDATE I: Natalee Holloway: Jawbone Not That of Missing American Teen

“The bone appeared to have been exposed to various (weather) influences and proved to be porous,” the statement read.

For the time being, the forensics team has stopped working to test the DNA.

“There is still a possibility that the molar from the jawbone could be used for further efforts to generate a DNA profile,” the statement read. “However, this follow-up study of said molar would inhibit future research into identifying the person from whom the bone originates.”

It is believed a recent hurricane may have stirred up the beach, leading tourists to find the bone outside a hotel.

UPDATE II: Official Statement from Aruba:

Bone material not of Natalee Holloway

At the request of the Aruban Public Prosecutor’s Office the Netherlands Forensic Institute has conducted forensic anthropological and DNA investigations on bone material, a piece of jawbone with a tooth. These investigations were executed simultaneously. Detailed examination by the NFI excludes the possibility that the bone material found in Aruba is that of Natalee Holloway.

TSA Head John Pistole Says No Body Cavity Searches …Yet

There is a big loop hole with the body scan machines; however, the head of the TSA does not want to really discuss that reality. All about security, eh? The TSA claims they will not do any body cavity searches. At least not any time soon.

We have been told by Obama and the TSA that the invasive pat downs and intrusions on our civil rights and privacy are for our own good. The justification behind the questionable searches of innocent Americans merely trying to board a plane is because of the Christmas Day, underwear bomber. Really?

Does that justify the over-the-top retroactive response from this White House to terrorism? They claim that the metal detectors would not have discovered the bomb carried aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 by radical Muslim terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

What if a terrorist chooses to have a pat-down and opts out of the full body scan? What if the terrorists decide to use a page from drug traffickers and smuggle the explosives in a body cavity? TSA … do not insult our intelligence that this is not a topic of discussion among terrorists. They have been willing to do anything to kill the Infidels and meet up with the virgins.

TSA chief John Pistole today met with reporters from the Christian Science Monitor. Pistole discussed why his agency’s aggressive screening techniques don’t include body-cavity searches …

Video Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

TSA chief John Pistole stated:

“We’re in the risk management business, being a risk-based intelligence organization. The information that I’ve seen out in public about body cavities for bombs I think is perhaps not accurate. There’s been reporting of one incident involving the Saudi Deputy Administrator of Interior. The forensics on that are not dis-positive and there is stronger indication that it was actually an underwear type bomb strapped to his upper thigh rather than a body cavity. That being, said even if it is a body cavity you still have to be an initiator. You have to have some external vice that cause that initiation such as having the TAPT that is closer to the PA10 that had a modified syringe. There has to be something external that initiates the device. That’s what the advanced imaging technology machine will pick up. Any anomaly outside the body. So we’re not going to get in the business of doing body cavity (searches) that’s just not where we are.”

 I think Pistole forgot to say the word, YET. Who is to say why this is not next on the list? There was a shoe bomber and we had to removeor shoes, there is an underwear bomber and that gives the TSA a right to a free nude show or a feel-up pat down without being offered a dinner and movie first. So what will an over intrusivegovernment do when a terrorist explodes a bomb in a body cavity? This is what happens when you give up your rights.

Confirmed … Jawbone Found in Aruba Does Not Belongs to Natalee Holloway

BREAKING NEWS ARUBA …

It has been confirmed by the Aruba Prosecutors office that the jaw bone found recently on the beach near the Phoenix hotel DOES NOT BELONG to Natalee Holloway. The mystery of where Natalee Holloway is remains a mystery.

I cannot help but express my prayers to Beth Holloway, Dave Holloway, Paul Reynold’s and the rest of Natalee’s family.  The continued unanswered saga of what happened to Natalee continues. 

 Natalee Holloway went missing in 2005 while on vacation in Aruba. She was last seen leaving the bar Carlos n’ Charlies at closing time with Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe. To date no one has ever been prosecuted for Natalee’s disappearance.

Zogby Poll: Barack Obama’s Job Approval Rating Drops to 39%, the Lowest of his Presidency

BINGO WE HAVE A WINNER! The Barack Obama job approval ratings has dropped to the 30′s. According to a Zogby Interactive poll, President Barack Hussein Obama’s job approval rating has dropped to the lowest point of his presidency at 39%. The Zogby poll also has Obama with a 60% disapproval rating.

President Barack Obama’s job approval rating has dropped to the lowest point of his Presidency at 39%, and in potential match-ups with Republicans in 2012, he trails Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush and Newt Gingrich and is just one point ahead of Sarah Palin.

The percentage of likely voters saying the U.S. is on the wrong track is now the highest since Obama took office at 69%.

The President continues to lose the job approval of Democrats, going from 78% on Nov. 15 to 72% in this Nov. 19-22, 2010 interactive poll. His approval among independents stayed at 39%, and is 6% among Republicans.

The polling 30% watch has been on for some time now. After a disastrous 2010 midterm election for Democrats, largely due to Obama’s radical agenda … The One continues his downward spiral. As Hot Air Pundit asks, “how low can it go?” The real question will be how other polls like Gallup and Rasmussenwill react to Obama’s continued lack of leadership. The “Failure” in Chief is on the ropes and is on the verge of becoming a lame duck President.

What has to be more disasterous as stated by Hot Air is that “The One” is in a statistical dead heat in a hypothetical 2012 Presidential match up with Sarah Palin. Rut-roh, Obama trails Romney, Gingrich and Jeb Bush as well.

Obama now trails in hypothetical 2012 matchups against Republicans Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and the next Bush, Jeb.

Most embarrassing of all for the 44th president, he’s slipped into a statistical tie with none other than Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor shown by other polls to be seen as unqualified for the presidency. So it appears many have now decided, on second thought, Obama is too.
