Where do they find these people?

No comment needed: Mia Love has made her Haitian immigrant family’s bootstraps story the centerpiece of her campaign to become the first black Republican woman elected to Congress. But on Monday, Mother Jones raised some serious questions about the Utah congressional candidate’s public statements about her family’s immigration story, which she’s used to justify a […]

I should have gotten a copyright

Okay, so I went here today, and find to my surprise, that Jon Stewart has introduced a new segment entitled “Barack Obama is the luckiest dude on the planet” or something to that effect. Here’s the video: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Democalypse 2012 – Every Which Way […]

Is that all she’s got?

Linda McMahon says that she is talking about the issues. Make that issue. No need for that troublesome “s”. And what is the issue? The fact that Chris Murphy got a mortgage with which only Linda McMahon has been able to perceive a problem. This is emblematic of the ideological bankruptcy of the modern Republican […]

All that’s necessary

Abe Lincoln was a smart guy, but I was reminded, while reading this in a Kos post, that he could sometimes get it wrong: Romney wants to test one of this nation’s most famous political maxims, as he attempts to fool all of the people all of the time. (via Daily Kos) Abe was right, […]

In Defense of Paul Ryan

Yes, I know it seems unlikely, but when a guy is unfairly traduced, it’s my duty to defend him, whether he’s a smarmy, lying toady for the rich or not. So I just can’t stand silent while Ryan is unfairly called a world class liar just because he claimed to have run a sub three […]

The plutocrats are flaunting it

Remember when John Kerry was caricatured as an out of touch elitist when he went windsurfing? And the press ran with it. One must wonder if we will hear more about this, or whether it will sink beneath the waves: Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign toasted its top donors Wednesday aboard a 150-foot yacht flying the […]

I won’t be watching

Well, the fact is that we no longer have a television, but could watch on-line if we really cared to do so. But gone are the days when the Republicans let people like Pat Buchanan let the world see what the Republican party is really all about. Unlike Democrats, Republican’s learn their lessons, at least […]

Ryan Defers

What a strange country this is. We have a political party, whose members claim some sort of inside track to God. They speak in moral absolutes, yet they are, at times, oddly willing to "defer" to someone else's moral (if one can call it that when speaking of Romney) position. Consider Paul Ryan: Ryan, of […]

Mystified

Why are all those Republicans urging Todd Akin to withdraw from the Senate race? He only said what they all purport to think. If life begins at conception, and they want the constitution to say that it does, then his position follows as the night the day. what he said was not much different than […]

In a nutshell

The Republican argument, boiled down to its essence.     Posted with Blogsy
