Carlos Miller of Photography isn’t crime reports the following, As we head into the insanity of the election season, we are bound to hear more stories of politicians banning cameras from town hall meetings out of fear they might stick their foot in their mouth and be exposed on Youtube for the fools that they are. And lately, it seems as if it is the GOP/Tea-baggers doing all the banning. Court Rules Republicans Who Confiscate Cameras At Town Halls Are Violating 1st Amendment.

Michele don’t like the Illegal Aliens babies, whom are US Citizens..
From the Think Progress, Late last week at a campaign stop in South Carolina, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) revived a debunked conservative talking point about so-called “anchor babies” — a derogatory term for the American-born children of undocumented immigrants who are full citizens under the 14th Amendment. But Bachmann, who professes to revere the Constitution, suggested that these American citizens with foreign parents are somehow here “illegally” and that the “anchor baby” problem should be dealt with through legislation: Bachmann, who...

Statement of Minority Leader Joe Hackney on proposed Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage
Joe tells it like it is… Hey NCGOP< where are the jobs.. you guys been talking about.. Well At a time when we should be focused on helping our neighbors in the east recover from a terrible storm, we are instead returning to Raleigh to vote on a constitutional amendment that simply mirrors existing law in North Carolina. What a waste. This proposed constitutional amendment runs against the tide of history, and has become a form of hate speech. Modern corporations do not tolerate this kind of discrimination and neither should our state. But many...

Michele PR starts Clean up about the Hurricane Comment
Michele Bachmann was just kidding. God didn't send Hurricane Irene as a a wake up call for America, after all. No she wasn’t, she just didn’t expect such a backlash over it..

Maddow Rips Rick Scott, the Gov. of FL
When FL Gov. Rick "Medicare Fraud" Scott mandated that all welfare applicants pass a drug test before receiving benefits? It turns out that so few applicants are failing the test, the entire program will cost much more than it saves. That's no concern for Scott's wife, who has a financial interest in one of the companies doing the testing. The ACLU of FL had this to say "We're not testing the population at-large that receives government money; we're not testing people on scholarships, or state contractors. So why these people? It's obvious--because...

Barbarian FlashMob at Bachmann's Husband Clinic..
“The American people have a right to know: does the Bachmann family profit from bogus “gay reparative therapy” or not,” continued Espinosa. “The medical evidence against the practice aside, the Bachmann’s subversive marginalization of the LGBT community is despicable.” Today’s action was organized by the same young man who previously glittered Newt Gingrich, inspiring a national trend in political protest of anti-LGBT sentiments from political candidates and campaigns. “It’s clear that the Bachmanns are the real barbarians here, and their archaic...

Now there’s a crack in it, there’s a crack in it and it’s closed up. Is that a sign from the Lord? Is that something that has significance or is it just result of an earthquake?

I too, will shake the earth.'" I never knew that Gays and Lesbians had such powers to move the earth under our feets.. Wow. Don't piss them off, who know what would happen....
