John McCain: “I Wouldn’t Know”

January 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Elections, News, Politics, america

WTF???!!!?  Now I’m even more pissed off:
Lauer: From page 363, it says, and I’m combining two quotes here, in judging Palin, ‘was relying on vetting so hasty and haphazard it barely merited the name.’ ‘No one had interviewed her husband, no one had spoken to her political enemies, no vetters had descended on Alaska.’ Is [...]

McCain’s Shame

January 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Elections, News, Politics, america

The more I think about this Palin pick in 2008, the more disgusted I am.  Was he just trying to win an election at the expense of actually governing a nation?  Did he honestly believe, over the objections of his right hand man, that Palin was qualified to lead in his stead?  [...]

Really????

December 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, Democrats, Health Care, america

September 2009:

Lieberman is either lying, or he’s purposely torpedoing this legislation. Either way, his legislative death should be replete with ravenous bees, and honey from counties in America that have the most uninsured Americans.

Think Tanks Do More Tanking Than Thinking

December 4th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Democracy, Political Fringe, Politics, Republicans, america

It’s so easy to belittle decisions made after the fact.  Take the 700 plus billion dollar bailout, which at the time, received universal support.  It was seen as a necessary implement in propping up huge financial institutions — before they collapsed– and resulted in widespread economic turmoil.
Now, every clown hidden amongst tea party crowds, protected [...]

Andrew Sullivan Issues A Challenge To Sarah Palin

November 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Politics, Republicans, america

Even though her book doesn’t hit stores until tomorrow, Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue,” has already created a firestorm. Some folks have seen passages of the book, and they have immediately gone into rebuttal mode.  Senator John McCain’s senior staff have vehemently denied any and all stories attributed to them, calling them all fiction. Palin has also [...]

Another Example Of Hard Luck (Or Not) For The GOP

October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

From the “Dems now have the advantage in future voters” category, John McCain supporters had… uh… trouble saluting the new president after the election of 2008.  Young male McCain supporters suffered a loss of testosterone after the results were announced.  No wonder those Tea Partiers were so angry.

War Of The Blowhards: Glen Beck Being Attacked By The Right… And The Right?

September 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Politics, Republicans

Well, I knew it was only a matter of time before conservatives woke up, and decided that the type of far-out conspiratorial lunacy fake millionaire populist Glen Beck espouses, was starting to give the party a bad case of hives.  Beck, who never misses an opportunity to be a propagandist shill for himself, recently stated [...]

Monday weekend round-up

July 13th, 2009 · No Comments · News, Politics

“I spent several years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, in the dark… fed with scraps. Do you think I want to do that all over again as vice president of the United States?”
- Senator John McCain
The Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) excellent non-partisan take on health care. (This is a must-read for those lost in [...]

Do people actually read what they write? More hypocrisy exposed

June 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Iran, Middle East, Politics

I read Charles Krauthammer routinely.  I think he’s a fine columnist, and a strong voice for conservative principles.  Yet in the fervor to vilify President Obama’s response to the election in Iran, and the subsequent protests and violence, Mr. Krauthammer may have ingested too much of the blood-lust brew.   In an article from one [...]
