When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

FOOD STAMP RECIPIENTS ARE LIKE WILD ANIMALS


The Republican Party of Oklahoma has decided that it would be a good idea to compare Americans who are on Food Stamps to wild animals.

So the Oklahoma GOP shared the following on their Facebook page, apparently not realizing that everyone in the world would then be able to see it:




Modern day Conservatives, about as Christian as the beast himself.

DEMOCRATS TAKE AN ASS-WHIPPING

FACTS DON'T LIE - LESS THAN 40 % OF ELECTORATE DECIDES FATE OF AMERICA


It's official, America has the highest moron per capita quota in the world.

Maybe we need to issue an Amber Alert for common sense. Either the voters from last night suffer from short term memory loss [tea baggers willfully and happily shutting down the government] or they are just as mentioned above, moronic.

This mid-term elections we had:
A North Carolina man who hid abortion restrictions in a bill on motorcycle safety - has just been elected to the United States Senate.
Arkansas voters, who just sent anti-minimum wage Republican to the Senate last night, also last night passed a minimum wage hike measure by 2-to-1 margin.
See what I am getting at here readers?

The facts are, Democrats lost the mid-terms because of one thing, they are lazy voters. Republicans are low information voters, but at least they vote.

ITS THE END OF THE LIBERALS AS WE KNOW IT




Given that the American people just rewarded the Tea Party - the party of hate, misogyny, intolerance, the Koch Brothers and "God" with even more power to tank our nation even further, how long will it be before they impeach the President?

There are a plethora of problems with elections circa 2014, the most disturbing - the hardest to digest for this blogger is when less than 40 percent of the electorate decides the fate of the majority. Utterly disgusting!

For us to get past rigged elections and low turnout we must address a few issues:

1. It should be a Government day off so all can vote without the threat of being fired

2. We should rid the country of Gerrymandering

3. Make voting a law [mandatory] via compulsory Voting.

4. Corporations and "dark money" have no place in politics. I don't give a shit how much money you make, I don't want you buying my politicians. [Koch Whores]

Brace yourselves, the next two years are going to be terrible for this country, but more exclusively for women and minorities. The big losers today are not the Democrats, but indeed poor people, minorities and basically everything non-pasty white.

Yesterday, for those who voted, they in essence rejected the Obama agenda, jobs, healthcare, women's rights, equality and environmental action....in favor of war and pollution.

Hopefully this ass kicking wakes Liberals the fuck up! When you don't vote, assholes win.

You "liberal patriots", "American Citizens" have a "civil duty", and that's to fuckinig vote. For if you don't, may you wallow in your own self induced misery.

Dear World: If you're just waking up, a minority of the US electorate just restored Congress to the 1700's.

DEMOCRATS MIRED IN A "TURD HOLE"

DEMOCOLYPSE 2014


Says Jon Stewart.

Jon Stewart kicked off night two in Austin mercilessly mocking Democrats for being stuck in a political “turd hole” for midterm season and for running like hell from President Obama “like he was one of the bad guys in those Chainsaw Massacre movies.”

Stewart rounded up all the ridiculous Democratic non-answers and disses when it comes to the issue of whether they support Obama, with one senator acting like someone “found your porn.”

And what killed Stewart is that Democrats are losing to really bad Republican candidates like Mitch McConnell and Scott Brown, the latter of whom, when asked about his record, actually said, “Do I have the best credentials? Probably not. ‘Cause, you know, whatever.”

Later in the show, the Daily Show trolls Texas.

As a democrat I am astounded that these numbers can be factual- that indeed these races can be so statistically close. Fact, there are 17 million more democrats than republicans that voted in 2012 [The FEC reports that combining the total number of votes cast by Americans for president, House and Senate in 2012, Americans voted for the GOP 158,605,000 times and for the Democrats 176,167,000 times. In other words they cast over 17 million more Democratic votes than Republican votes in 2012].

Bottom line liberals, get off your asses and fucking vote!

JOHN BOEHNER THINKS..............




.......Unemployed people "just sit around - don't think they have to work".

Priceless, considering that Boehner's congress just came back from vacation, worked eight [8] days and now will have another eight weeks of vacation.

House Speaker John Boehner seemed to echo Mitt Romney’s infamous claim that 47 percent of Americans are “takers” who suck up government benefits during a speech at a conservative Washington D.C. think tank on Thursday. Addressing the American Enterprise Institute, Boehner suggested that President Barack Obama’s economy has lulled many unemployed people into a sense of dependence on government.
“This idea that has been born, maybe out of the economy over the last couple years, that you know, I really don’t have to work. I don’t really want to do this. I think I’d rather just sit around. This is a very sick idea for our country,” he said.
“If you wanted something you worked for it,” Boehner said, adding, “Trust me, I did it all.”
But the unemployed aren't jobless because they’re lazy or receive government benefits. Most face huge obstacles to finding good paying jobs in a slow economic recovery.

Currently, there are more than two job seekers for every job opening in the country and the severity of the recession has created a long-term unemployment problem that has made many job seekers almost unemployable. Research shows that being unemployed for nine months has the same impact on your odds of getting hired as losing four full years of experience from a résumé. As a result, many people who lost their jobs have gone back to school, retired early, or continue to look for work without success.

In fact, millions of unemployed people are having a harder time finding a job since Congressional Republicans allowed the long-term unemployment benefits program to lapse. Research — and real world experience — has found that the program’s job search requirements encourage people to spend more time job hunting and helps cover essentials like internet service for job applications or gas money for interviews.

Boehner’s remarks are similar to comments made by Rep. Paul Ryan in March. During an appearance on a conservative radio show, Ryan claimed:
“We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work, and so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with.”
This from a guy who holds the worst record from any congress for doing absolutely nothing - along with the lowest approval rating ever.........Priceless "Faux Tan Man", priceless!


Pot, meet kettle.
