I have no desire to listen to an extremist like Sen. DeMint, who advocates, along with fellow nut, Sen. Cruz, crazy notions like shutting down the federal government rather than funding Obamacare.I do like the fact that Republican radicals like DeMint holler so loudly about their destructive ideas in that in ensures that there will continue to be a Democrat in the White House for many years to come.

Amen! Ronald Reagan and W.F. Buckley would be disgusted by these clowns.

Y'all are nuts! No one said anything about shutting down the government, just not funding Obamacare! Seriously, get a clue!

And not funding Obamacare will be the greatest thing this Congress will ever do! Even the IRS workers don't want to be a part of this travesty. Even the idiots that wrote the law, are scared they are going to lose their best staff employees over it.

Amazing how it's good for everyone else, but not government workers!

DeMint, Cruz and Lee are the heroes of this world! I only wish our Senators, RINO;s both, would follow suit with these Senators and get back bones!

So this paid advertisement allows comments but the Team Jackroids one below does not? Why is that?

The twenty somethings hanging out in Fondren are all for Obamacare. They don't know why. They just are.

6:16 pm these guys are using the threat of government shut down ( not funding the government) to get their way.
Did you miss how it was we lost our bond rating? Do you know what that's costing taxpayers?
They vote against anything and everything no matter how inane. Can't get minor appointees approved.
Instead of attacking the budget rationally by eliminating fat, we have sequestration but which is cutting essential functions and non-essential functions as if they were the same.
They don't believe in the balance of power as they've done everything possible to weaken the office of the Presidency and if the court doesn't rule as they like, they look for ways to do end runs.Of course, it's not the Presidency, it's this President but they don't get the long term effects.
They don't believe in a democracy , they believe in their point of view and to hell with the70% who don't see it their way. Instead of trying to persuade the public, they obstruct.They name call and shout rather than debate facts.
They miss that they are to protect the liberties of all, not just those who voted for them.
They aren't smart enough to have suggested ways to improve bills or deal with sections they find problematic, they want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Only an idiot would be against the reducing the stranglehold the insurance companies have on healthcare ( have you missed the BCBS lawsuit in MS? And, do you understand BCBS in other states aren't doing what OUR BCBS jerks are doing?) but they want to throw out all those sections as well.
God save the world from extremists and fanatics...none of whom seem to be able to face that they are who just don't see that unless you respect the views of others and try to accomodate those views so that all can live together peacefully, you are extreme.

Barackady Obamanov loves the young ones. When they one day realize the economic screwing they've received it will already be too late. And now their leader wants to make war. LMAO

7:38 a.m., you're spot on in your comments, but I wouldn't hold my breath on getting through to 6:16 p.m. He's obviously a True Believer who in all likelihood is a lost cause. My experience has been that it is impossible to reason with irrational people.

I would put the percentage number of people like Sen. Cruz more like 20 percent than 30 as your comment suggests. The hard core Tea Party adherents have been declining in number for awhile now.

Anybody who uses the term 'spot on' is a friggin' dunce.

My beef with DeMint is not about legislative policy but about candidate recruitment. His GOP candidate recruits in 2010 and 2012 lost the GOP good winnable seats by nominating unelectable flake candidates instead of moderate winners in blue states. Because of him, the GOP doesnt hold the Senate today.

2:24 pm has a problem with using the phrase " spot on" but not with using the word " friggin'"? ROFL

Like the guys said, Demint will be perfect for that audience.

Let's be clear. Sen. DeMint is for fully funding the government, just not for funding Obamacare.

The same world leader who referred to Petraeus as General Betray-us referred to Dement as Dementia. Her name is Hillary Clinton. That's good enough to tell me I need to carefully consider what he says.

Jim DeMint is as responsible as anyone for Majority Leader Harry Reid -- and he has quickly turned Heritage from one of the the nation's premier think tanks into just another annoying Tea Party group.

Donkeycrats never listen.

Colorado: Colorado Senate President John Morse, state Sen. Angela Giron ousted

An epic national debate over gun rights in Colorado on Tuesday saw two Democratic state senators ousted for their support for stricter laws, a "ready, aim, fired" message intended to stop other politicians for pushing for firearms restrictions. Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron will be replaced in office with Republican candidates who petitioned onto the recall ballot.

Stupid Donkeycrats. Stupid, stupid Donkeycrats.




Stupid RINOs too!

On this date just over a decade ago now, we were united as Americans. We weren't Republicans or Democrats or Libertarians or anything else other than Americans first.

We are more focused today on hating each other than on real enemies and threats to our Nation.

Those who died in the WTC were as diverse in beliefs and race as our Nation. We did not look at them as other than being one of us.

Those who have continued to divide us and refuse to work with their fellow Americans to solve the problems facing this Nation dishonor the memory of not just those who died on Sept 11th but those who have died since in Afghanistan and Iraq and in other parts of the world throughout the history of this Nation defending us.

If you are one who shouts and ferments internal discord rather than listens and reasons, then if you want to see what the biggest threat is to our Nation, look in the mirror.

Mr. DeMint should look in the mirror.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
