Koch Brothers sold millions of dollars of equipment to Iran despite embargo. Anything for a buck, huh fellas? At home pay rightwing think tanks to agitate against Iran, overseas bribe europeans to sell your product to Iran for millions. That's business, the American way.

- after all im a free market guy and dont support the cuban embargo. as far as bribes thats jsut extra cost that should be unnecessary as far as free trade goes.********

Dems hold secret meeting to replace scandal-ridden Meeks
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/loc…Queens Democratic leaders are so worried that the ethical and criminal probes surrounding Rep. Gregory Meeks will bring him down, they held a secret meeting to pick his successor.
The clandestine cabal assembled last month at the Guy Brewer Democratic Club in Queens and included the borough’s Democratic boss, Rep. Joseph Crowley, according to two elected officials familiar with the gathering.
But the handpicked successor, state Sen. Malcolm Smith, seems a curious choice because he is under federal investigation himself.
“It would send a terrible signal to DC,” a source said of Smith’s coronation. “We would be the . . . joke of the country.”

Now there's proof: Obamacare costs a mint
http://www.washingtontimes.com/n…Obamacare was supposed to make health care affordable for everyone. It failed. We now have proof that President Obama’s signature accomplishment is only making things more expensive. According to a new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation (http://www.kff.org), health-insurance premiums for a family surged 9 percent this year - the largest jump since 2005.
That increase is more than double the rate of general inflation (3.8 percent) and quadruple wage growth (1.6 percent). The average American family’s health-insurance tab is $15,000 a year, which is double the amount paid a decade ago. Employers are stuck paying most of this, but employees are finding that the premium hikes cut into their ability to receive raises and cost-of-living adjustments. Employee contributions to health benefits have increased 168 percent since 1999, according to the Kaiser study. That’s quadruple the inflation rate and almost triple earnings growth.

The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), or just Kaiser Family Foundation, is a U.S.-based non-profit, private operating foundation headquartered in Menlo Park, California. It focuses on the major health care issues facing the nation, as well as the U.S. role in global health policy. The Foundation states that it is a "non-partisan source of facts and analysis for policymakers, the media, the health care community, and the general public." - Source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka...

Paul Ryan says Obama is engaged in "dangerous class warfare" against the rich
http://www.politico.com/news/sto…
“The rhetoric is what I think is really dangerous because the class warfare rhetoric, it speaks to bad emotions within people,” Ryan said in an interview. “It speaks to dark emotions — anger, envy, fear — those are powerful emotions, and I suppose they can be manipulated to good political ends, but it’s reckless, in my opinion, and it divides people.”
- i agree with paul ryans words in the quote. May not be the most articulate. But i agree with the jist.********

ATF Fast and Furious: New documents show Attorney General Eric Holder was briefed in July 2010
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3172…WASHINGTON - New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress.
On May 3, 2011, Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
Yet internal Justice Department documents show that at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious.

Seems like someone needs to step up, tell the truth and take it like a man and resign or be forced to resign.
