Will Anthony Weiner Survive Politically as Democrats Distance Themselves … Weiner Resignation Watch is On

From the beginning of the Weiner Tweet story, it was obvious what had occurred. Although Democrats remained silent and the liberal MSM did stories on hacking rather than ones that Weiner might be lying. In the end under the mounting evidence that Weiner did sent the explicit pics, Anthony Weiner admitted the pic was of himself and he sent it.

Anthony Weiner took the words to the Oscar Mayer Weiner jingle personally, literally. I guess he did wish he was an Oscar Mayer Weiner, because every one would be in love with him. Or so he thought. Oops, Congressman Weiner took this to the extreme.

Now that the cat is out of the bag and Weiner has admitted his wrong doings, well most of them … Democrats are distancing themselves and calls for resignation are abound. Democrats actually think they can win back the House in 2012, as delusional as that sounds. However, no such notion could ever even be possible when Weiner would be the face of the Democrat House. In other words, Democrats know Weiner must go.

Representative Anthony D. Weiner of New York, reeling from revelations of salacious online behavior that threaten his political career, moved rapidly on Tuesday to make amends as Republicans called for his resignation and leading members of his own Democratic Party distanced themselves from him.

Mr. Weiner spent much of the past 24 hours apologizing over and over to stunned Congressional colleagues and Democratic leaders angry at him for misleading them and the public. Even neighboring House Democrats seemed shaken, with many of them worrying that worse disclosures may still surface.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Says It Would be Foolish for Democrats to Propose Their own Federal Budget

Far be it from US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Democrats to act in a responsible manner and actually conduct themselves in a way that would benefit “We the People”. Harry Reid stated that it would be “foolish” for Democrats to propose their own federal budget for 2012. Democrats did not propose a budget last year, why would anyone think they would this year?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it would be “foolish” for Democrats to propose their own federal budget for 2012, despite continued attacks from Republicans that the party is ducking its responsibility to put forward a solution to the nation’s deficit problems.

“There’s no need to have a Democratic budget in my opinion,” Reid said in an interview Thursday. “It would be  foolish for us to do a budget at this stage.”

Reid got the foolish part right, he just did not realize it was his actions and the Democrats he was really referring to. Democrats have acted foolishly for many year now.

An 11th Hour Budget Deal Struck … There Will be no Government Shutdown

Budget deal made, government shut down averted …

GOP House Speaker John Boehner has done what previous Democrat controlled House Speaker Pelosi, Democrat Senate Majority Leader and Democrat President Barack Obama could not do last year. Boehner managed to get a budget passed in spite of Democrats. Sadly, Democrats last year thought it not in their interest to pass a budget when they controlled both the House Senate and Presidency.  As the Politico reports:

After a long day of trading offers, the White House and House Republicans reached agreement Friday night on a budget framework that would cap 2011 appropriations near or below $1.050 trillion while cutting domestic and foreign aid by more than $40 billion from the rate of spending at the beginning of this Congress.

Behind the closed doors of special meeting of the Republican Conference, Speaker John Boehner presented the package to his party as at least an agreement in principle and said at one point: “We have a deal.” The Senate should now feel confident enough to move ahead with a stop gap spending bill to avert—or at least shorten—any shutdown beginning at midnight.

Initially Reed and Democrats did not want $1 dollar of any spending cuts. In the end they wound up with a deal to cut about $38 billion in federal spending. In the end it appears that the Tea Party was victorious in the end. However, there needs to be serious action to take on the national debt. It would appear that Harry Reed and Barack Obama were handed their hat this evening. Now wait until the debt ceiling vote.

The only great news of the night for Barack Obama is … he gets to go on yet another vacation now.

Who is Extreme: 48% of Americans Say Views More Like Tea Party, Only 22% Say More Like Congress

Democrats have tried to smear the Tea Party since the outset of the grass roots, “We the People” movement, it has gotten them no where.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just last week was at it again knocking the Tea Party (VIDEO); however, he just like mostt Democrats just don’t get it. ‘We the People” do not think the Tea Party is extreme, we think that Congress is. He stated that the people does not care about the Tea Party, it is just a small percentage that identify with the Tea Party. Really Harry?

 In a recent Rasmussen poll, 48% of  of Likely U.S. Voters say when facing major issues, their views are closer to the average Tea Party member while only 23% favor the views of Congress.  Meanwhile, 54% of voters not affiliated with either major political party, say the movement is good for the country.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters say when it comes to the major issues facing the country, their views are closer to the average Tea Party member as opposed to the average member of Congress.  Just 22% say their views are closest to those of the average congressman. Even more (30%) aren’t sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

 A radical and unpopular faction? Really? Since when is it radical and unpopular to live within your means, bankrupt a ccountry and leave your children and grand children with a bill they cannot afford? This is what Democrats think is radical. Is is no wonder that Democrats were shellacked in the 2010 midterm elections.

Democrats Abandoning Ship Across the South … Switch to the GOP … Democrat Party Does not Represent Conservative Dems

It was the obvious handwriting on the wall following the shellacking the Democrats took in the 2010 midterm elections … They did not leave the Democrat party, the party left them.

Many Democrats in the South are reading the tea leaves and see that the Democrat party no longer represents the people, especially in the South. As reported at the LA Times, the latest Democrat to switch parties is  Ashley Bell from Georgia. The Pelosi-Reid-Obama lead Democrats made it obvious that conservatives are not welcome in the so-called “big tent” Democrat party. Add 29 state Democrat legislatures to the 680 that one election in 2010 … the shift is on to the GOP.

Reporting from Atlanta — For Democrats, Ashley Bell was the kind of comer that a party builds a future on: A young African American lawyer, he served as president of the College Democrats of America, advised presidential candidate John Edwards and spoke at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston.

But after his party’s midterm beat-down in November, Bell, a commissioner in northern Georgia’s Hall County, jumped ship. He joined the Republicans.

Bell, 30, said he had serious issues with the healthcare law and believed that conservative “blue dog” Democrats in Congress who shared his values had been bullied into voting for it.

Democrats switching to the GOP has been a sign of the times since the 2010 midterm elections. The count to date, 24 state senators and representatives have made the switch in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Texas. This is added to the 680 seats that the GOP picked up in the state legislatures in the 2010 elections.

As stated at the Daily Caller, “because of the wave of defections, Republicans in Louisiana now hold a majority in the state House for the first time since Reconstruction”. Many in the South have come to realize that the liberals that are the power brokers in the Democrat party in no way represent Conservative Democrats and their is no reason to stay in a party that does not represent their beliefs or values.
