Cut them loose

Thursday, June 28, 2012

17 Democrats voted to hold Eric Holder in contempt. They preferred to take orders from the NRA than stand with their party. There are some things that, even for Democrats, should be beyond the pale. They should be cut loose. Not a dime from the DNC or the DCCC. Let them get their money from […]

Casey wants my money, he’ll stick it to me later

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

  I get at least 10 distinct fundraising emails a day, so I normally just scan the subject lines and go on, but for some reason I read an email I received today from Ed Rendell on behalf of one of my least favorite (Democratic) senators, Bob Casey. Casey is one of those guys you […]

Business as usual for the Democrats

Monday, May 14, 2012

Sigh… This is the kind of thing that is all too typical of the Democratic party: Wisconsin Democrats are frustrated with the lack of national support in the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker, and in what’s likely an effort to pressure the Democratic National Committee to pitch in, they’re airing their frustrations to Greg […]

Yet another modest proposal

Friday, March 2, 2012

Back in 2007 both the Democratically controlled House and Senate passed Republican pushed resolutions condemning Moveon for hurting David Patreaus’s feefees. It was, pure and simple, a stunt designed to alienate the Democrats from their base, and the Democrats fell for it hook, line and sinker. There was, in fact, no national revulsion at what […]

When will they ever learn

Monday, February 27, 2012

In an apparent attempt to please the beltway punditocracy, Steny Hoyer has announced that he’ll soon be announcing a deficit reduction program, which, whatever its merits will be rejected by the Republicans. Apparently Hoyer believes that the American people will reward the Democrats for attempting to address the most critical issue facing the country, as […]

Feingold to Obama: Join me in exile and let the country suck it

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

Umm, Fuck Russ Feingold. His unilateral disarmament purity position is, in part, responsible for the fact that the Senator from his old seat in Wisconsin is a Republican. Elections have consequences that we all have to live with. Russ may not mind a country firmly anchored in the Middle Ages, but I do.  I don’t […]

Ron Wyden (D? Oregon) has teamed up with Paul Ryan on a plan to destroy Medicare and deprive people my age of affordable heatlh care as we enter our “golden” years. But we can count ourselves lucky, as the plan is clearly the opening salvo toward returning those in the generation after us to the […]

We get letters

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

I got a fundraising email from Senator John Kerry, late of the Super Committee where he was purportedly one of the Democrats ready to throw us under the bus to achieve a pundit approved “deficit reduction” package that would sacrifice Medicare and Social Security in return for the promise from Republicans that they would think […]

Elizabeth Warren speaks

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Send this lady some money. If I were Scott Brown, and I thank my good fortune I’m not, I would be very scared of this lady. I would also avoid a debate. The big question was what kind of a campaigner she would be. Just watching this, I think those concerns can be set aside. […]
