  1. Suffice to say, sometimes "ploys" come back to bite you. Cochran now runs against a democrat. Now, if those same democrats that actually get out and vote this election...Cochran will still see himself as being retired, especially if McDaniel voters don't fill in that blank. We'll see. Obviously up to Mississippi voters to decide who they want representing 'em, and if it comes back to bite the RINOs - well, so be it.
  2. It's all about the money, the railroads and Warren. Warren's making millions of dollars shipping the oil.
  3. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/381362/study-all-employment-growth-2000-went-immigrants-nro-staff According to a major new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), net employment growth in the United States since 2000 has gone entirely to immigrants, legal and illegal. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, CIS scholars Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler found that there were 127,000 fewer working-age natives holding a job in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000, while the number of immigrants with a job was 5.7 million above the 2000 level. The rapidity with which immigrants recovered from the Great Recession, as well as the fact that they held a disproportionate share of jobs relative to their share of population growth before the recession, help to explain their findings, the authors report. In addition, native-born Americans and immigrants were affected differently by the recession. Other significant findings include: Because the native-born population grew significantly, but the number working actually fell, there were 17 million more working-age natives not working in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000. The share of natives working or looking for work, referred to as labor force participation, shows the same decline as the employment rate. In fact, labor force participation has continued to decline for working-age natives even after the jobs recovery began in 2010. Immigrants have made gains across the labor market, including lower-skilled jobs such as maintenance, construction, and food service; middle-skilled jobs like office support and health care support; and high­er-skilled jobs, including management, computers, and health care practitioners. The supply of potential workers is enormous: 8.7 million native college graduates are not working, as are 17 million with some college, and 25.3 million with no more than a high school education. According to the study, 58 million working-age natives are not employed. Camarota and Zeigler report three conclusions: First, the long-term decline in the employment for natives across age and education levels is a clear in­dication that there is no general labor shortage, which is a primary justification for the large increases in immigration (skilled and unskilled) in the Schumer-Rubio bill and similar House proposals. Second, the decline in work among the native-born over the last 14 years of high immigration is consis­tent with research showing that immigration reduces employment for natives. Third, the trends since 2000 challenge the argument that immigration on balance increases job oppor­tunities for natives. Over 17 million immigrants arrived in the country in the last 14 years, yet native employment has deteriorated significantly. The Center for Immigration Studies is a non-profit research institute. Founded in 1985, the organization is regularly consulted by policymakers, the academic community, and the media on matters of immigration policy.
  4. http://observer.com/2014/06/war-on-wall-street-obama-appoints-anti-business-activist-head-of-doj-division/ Americans should brace themselves for an unprecedented assault on businesses, banks and political opponents of this administration—regardless of the law or the facts. Expect increasing use of the Department of Justice as an instrument of “terror” to extort large civil penalties or fines from businesses under the threat of criminal prosecution and the death penalty that Ms. Caldwell and her cronies dealt Arthur Andersen. Meet the new boss—worse than the old boss.
  5. Cochran employed the very same thing R's did when Obama and Hillary were running... they voted for Obama...which I never quite understood, except they despised Hillary so much that they thought Obama would be not as "bad"...obviously that thinking was wrong.
  6. True that! As to real wind...no kidding...some days you'd think we lived in Kansas or something.
  7. You know, if I'm not mistaken, I believe the State Department, IRS and now the VA has said about the same thing....we're not lying, we have nothing to hide.
  8. You don't say! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/10916086/The-scandal-of-fiddled-global-warming-data.html Goddard shows how, in recent years, NOAA’s US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been “adjusting” its record by replacing real temperatures with data “fabricated” by computer models. The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data. In several posts headed “Data tampering at USHCN/GISS”, Goddard compares the currently published temperature graphs with those based only on temperatures measured at the time. These show that the US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record; whereas the latest graph, nearly half of it based on “fabricated” data, shows it to have been warming at a rate equivalent to more than 3 degrees centigrade per century.

  9. ^ Agreed! People just want to stick their head in the sand and say..."but it doesn't affect us." WRONG!
  10. "SMEAR" - he can do his own smearing. Bad guy - who says? Your POTUS....and we would believe him because????? Again, be transparent, let's see what the real truth is... chicken!
  11. WMDs do NOT have to be nukes, but can be - http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/917314/weapon-of-mass-destruction-WMD - they were there, a lot was found... and now they're in the hands of terrorists. weapon of mass destruction (WMD), weapon with the capacity to inflict death and destruction on such a massive scale and so indiscriminately that its very presence in the hands of a hostile power can be considered a grievous threat. Modern weapons of mass destruction are either nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons—frequently referred to collectively as NBC weapons. Seenuclear weapon, chemical warfare, biological warfare.
  12. It's credible all right... see the CBD/Fed Biz Ops solicitation in the middle of the link... that is the government's solicitation for a contract. Came out on January 29th, 2014.
  13. Let's find out about the phone calls, e-mails and anything else related to Benghazi... produce them, be transparent! And while you're doing that, produce IRS info as well... Your dufus in chief said he would be VERY transparent...SO BE TRANSPARENT!
  14. With our taxpayer funds. This should be a treasonous offense. ENOUGH ALREADY! http://www.infowars.com/dhs-to-pay-for-illegal-immigrants-to-be-escorted-into-u-s/
  15. Fine, then where's the E-MAILS??????? Produce 'em, be transparent... or what, ARE YOU SCARED? You should be.
  16. ^ Isn't that the truth! Or did they just pick someone they already had on the radar and "claim" he's responsible....let's see, first it was an anti-Muslim movie, terrorists being turned loose, e-mails and hard drives being destroyed...and this guy they've captured is one of the master minds of Benghazi.... Uh, yeah, kinda hard to believe ANYTHING coming out of this administration!
  17. The point is, which you obviously don't get is, whether someone votes for Cornyn or not is NONE of your business; same as whoever you vote for is no one else's business, but for you then to start with the name calling and the Liberal Lah Lah because they do NOT agree with who you believe they should support proves the point of - you're no better than the liberals and you're doing absolutely nothing for your "chosen party/politician." But, hey, do your thing, use the liberal playbook... I'm sure that'll make folks want to support your politician.
  18. And there goes the "liberal" yappety yap...don't agree with me, you need a brain check.... La La Land can also be believing ANY politician, no matter the initial after their name.... Nobody said we "expect/doing the same will have different results"... IN FACT, we want a Senator who is more conservative...and Cornyn IS NOT that! On the other hand, we SURE DO NOT want somebody who sticks a DIFFERENT initial after his name and he/she is the all be/end all/make everything rosey. Suffice to say, we don't like Cornyn, I for one have never voted for him, but we're not as blind as you...we're NOT that ignorant.
  19. Interesting story - http://www.dallasnews.com/news/metro/20140607-texas-open-carry-movement-raises-passions-threats.ece A 60-year-old Collin County woman, who asked not to be identified, said she was driving to a mall in March when she saw men with guns on a State Highway 121 overpass. She did not know they were Open Carry members, and she called Plano police. Several weeks later, an Open Carry supporter posted her name and phone number on YouTube. She began to receive threatening texts and calls, she said. “They were calling me names I haven’t heard since I was in middle school,” she said. “They were calling me a #### and all kinds of nasty names. … I think there’s some really crazy, unstable people out there.” She added: “I grew up in rural Texas, where all my family were hunters and gun people. I’m not anti-gun. But a real man and a real hunter would never, ever carry an assault weapon intimidating people.” Grisham said the Open Carry member should not have made the woman’s name and number public. “He did it for the right reasons,” Grisham said. “It was just bad execution.” He also said he condemns any threats or abusive language. “We reject it in the strongest terms,” Grisham said, but does not feel his campaign has caused it. “I don’t feel any responsibility for it.” ------ One of the demonstrators, 20-year-old Lane Duskin of Arlington, explained why he had two clips of 28 rounds each for his AR-15. “Nothing is 100 percent safe,” he said. He glanced toward Precinct Line Road and the heavy Saturday afternoon traffic. “Some wacko out there could pull out a gun and say, ‘I don’t like these [Open Carry] people,’” he said. “Then it’s bam-bam-bam.”
  20. Don't you find it amusing that all these "libertarian" candidates are the BE ALL/END ALL/FIX ALL PERFECT CANDIDATES?
  21. Agreed! Not the only thing he should be in jail for...that's for sure!
  22. Cornyn - STUPID STATEMENT I suppose all of the above have sent a note to Senator Cornyn about his IDIOTIC suggestion...I am!
