Democrat Dopes.
File this under the "I told you so" folder. And I DO agree with my friend Joe curl that is a barrel of laughs watching the Democrats turn their ire on Uber Leader Obama.
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Sometimes, watching a Democrat learn something is wonderful, like seeing the family dog finally sit and stay at your command.
With President Obama back in office and his life-saving “fiscal cliff” bill jammed through Congress, the new year has brought a surprising turn of events for his sycophantic supporters.
“What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. “My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?”
Shocker. Democrats who supported the president’s re-election just had NO idea that his steadfast pledge to raise taxes meant that he was really going to raise taxes. They thought he planned to just hit those filthy “1 percenters,” you know, the ones who earned fortunes through their inventiveness and hard work. They thought the free ride would continue forever.
So this week, as taxes went up for millions of Americans — which Republicans predicted throughout the campaign would happen — it was fun to watch the agoggery of the left.
“I know to expect between $93 and $94 less in my paycheck on the 15th,” wrote the ironically named “RomneyLies.”
“My boyfriend has had a lot of expenses and is feeling squeezed right now, and having his paycheck shrink really didn’t help,” wrote “DemocratToTheEnd.”
“BlueIndyBlue” added: “Many of my friends didn’t realize it, either. Our payroll department didn’t do a good job of explaining the coming changes.”
So let’s explain something to our ill-informed Democratic friends. In 2009, Mr. Obama enacted a “holiday” on the payroll tax deduction from employees’ paychecks, dropping the rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. But like the holidays, the drop ended, and like New Year‘s, the revelers woke up the next morning with a massive hangover and a pounding head.
“Bake,” who may have been trolling the site, jumped into the thread posted Friday. “My paycheck just went down. So did my wife’s. This hurts us. But everybody says it’s a good thing, so I guess we just suck it up and get used to it. I call it a tax increase on the middle class. I wonder what they call it. Somebody on this thread called it a ‘premium.’ Nope. It’s a tax, and it just went up.”
Some in the thread argued that the new tax — or the end of the “holiday,” which makes it a new tax — wouldn’t really amount to much. One calculated it would cost about $86 a month for most people. “Honeycombe8,” though, said that amount is nothing to sneeze at.
“$86 a month is a lot. That would pay for … Groceries for a week, as someone said. More than what I pay for parking every month, after my employer’s contribution to that. A new computer after a year. A new quality pair of shoes … every month. Months of my copay for my hormones. A new thick coat (on sale or at discount place). It would pay for what I spend on my dogs every month … food, vitamins, treats.”
The Twittersphere was even funnier.
“Really, how am I ever supposed to pay off my student loans if my already small paycheck keeps getting smaller? Help a sister out, Obama,” wrote “Meet Virginia.” “Nancy Thongkham” was much more furious. “F***ing Obama! F*** you! This taking out more taxes s*** better f***ing help me out!! Very upset to see my paycheck less today!”

Pearls of Wisdom
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/03/Inside-Conservative-Rebellion-Boehner
I read this story on the Breitbart website and I was disheartened, to say the least. I'm from Illinois and in this last election, we got our clocks cleaned. I've heard all the versions of why we lost most of our seats here in Illinois, and the White House. Election fraud, it's Romney's fault, he didn't make enough of a case, yada yada yada. I still go back to the one fact nobody can dispute and that is the fact that 3 million Conservatives did not vote. Romney just wasn't perfect enough for them so these co called "conservatives" didn't vote, the Dems won, WE LOST, and now we have 4 more years of Obama!
It should be noted for those that haven't realized this yet, you don't get everything you want when you are not the majority party. Period! Grover Norquist, one of the favorites of the Tea party (which frankly has always boggled my mind considering all of Grover's nefarious radical Muslim connections!), even concedes this fact:
“Well you have to look at where we started and what we could have ended up with,” Norquist answered.
When I read the above story on Breitbart, I cringed. I read it a second time from the perspective of a Democrat and I must say, the "institutional left" really doesn't have to do a thing to win elections with this kind of reporting! If I was a Democrat, I would be smiling from ear to ear and I would hope this kind of "useful" reporting continues!
I suggest Michelle Bachmann, and the "more than 20 House Republicans who were considering unseat Boehner" and that "bailed" and voted Speaker Boehner back in, better watch their backs. These so called Conservatives are not happy with these votes! Further, I read somewhere that Allen West was nominated as Speaker and that truly surprised me. Remember this:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/07/29/rep_allen_west_slams_tea_party_schizophrenia.html
"I think what we have to ask ourselves is 'if you're telling me that I need to vote no against the Boehner plan' then what am I voting for?" Rep. Allen West (R-FL) said on The Laura Ingraham Show.
"I'm going to stand with this Boehner plan and once again, if the folks who one minute they're saying that I'm their 'tea party hero' and what, three or four days later 'I'm a tea party defector.' That kind of schizophrenia, I'm not going to get involved in it."
I send this email below again to remind people who invoke the name of Andrew Breitbart that Andrew Breitbart truly detested Conservatives turning on each other. He knew how it felt and how damaging it is. I'm also again including Andrew's UNITY speech again where he said:
"This is my war cry for 2012. You need to join me in my war against the
institutional left."
and
"This is not your mother's Democratic Party... duh! John Podesta and George Soros? This is not your mother's Democratic Party You know whose party it is?
...I have a thesis about who we're fighting against on the hard left... [In college] I had no idea these [left-wing academics] people were actually serious
about the malarkey they were teaching. The post-structuralist, politically correct garbage."
"They try to portray you in the worst possible light... and when I travel around
the United States meeting people in the Tea Party who care -- black, white, gay, straight -- anyone that's willing to stand next to me to fight the progressive
left, I will be in that bunker, and if you're not in that bunker 'cause you're not satisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you. You're on the other side!"
You can watch the entire speech here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbycMtTUDfE
There a great expression of immense wisdom: If you don't like what you're getting, change what you're doing!
It's time Conservatives stick together and do what Andrew asked, let's all get in that bunker and beat the institutional left! We need to learn to do what the left does really well, stick together and support each other. They NEVER turn on each other, NEVER! As we charge on the battlefield of 2013, let's point the arrows at the Democrats, not at each other. If you truly feel you can no longer support the Republican Party then please, please, please, leave the Republican party and form your own party, and I wish you well. Tearing up this party only leads to victory for the Democrats!
If you like the expression by Andrew, "Truth isn't mean, it's truth", then I suggest you read the email below. Here's some real truth about Andrew Breitbart and it is clear, he "hated" backstabbing among Conservatives.

Is This the end for Speaker Boehner?
The Speaker of the House will be elected today and some conservatives believe they have the votes necessary to oust John Boehner. In an appearance on CNBC, American Majority Action spokesman Ron Meyer said there are more than 20 House Republicans willing to vote for someone other than Boehner on Thursday when the 113th Congress convenes to elect a Speaker. Another source from a different organization has similarly confirmed that more than 20 have planned to oppose Boehner.

Tax hike deal: Obama’s first or GOP’s last?
President Obama and congressional Republicans have learned sharply different lessons from the deal to avert the “fiscal cliff” as they prepare to battle again over the next two months on a series of budget deadlines that carry risks such as crippling defense cuts and a government default.
