Some Dems Pimp Themselves Out To AT&T In Exchange For Opposition To Net Neutrality
October 19th, 2009

When you take a bribe, try and not make it so easy to trace guys.
All but two of the 72 Democratic lawmakers who cautioned last Friday against open-Internet rules have received campaign donations this year from Internet service providers, the companies most likely to be impacted by new regulations.
For their most recent election campaigns, the [...]
Connecticut Dems: Lame
October 16th, 2009

Attacking Linda McMahon for silly WWE storylines is a lame move for the Connecticut Democratic party. We already have an entire party of moral scolds, we don’t need that sort of behavior to be bipartisan.

President Obama was on his game today.
And the President speaks in front of crowds that look like America.
A Good Price To Pay

I’m more than willing to sacrifice 20 Democratic seats – especially of people who don’t vote with Dems often enough – in order for serious, real, public-option enabled medical reform.
Maryland Third Bluest

Fear the crab.
Maryland is the nation’s third-bluest state, behind Massachusetts and Hawaii, according to the survey, which tracks how residents identify their own political leanings.
By Gallup’s analysis, 58 percent of Marylanders identify themselves as Democrats or leaning Democratic; 31 percent are Republican or leaning Republican.
Lets get those numbers up to 60, Maryland. Slackers.
Even funnier is [...]
Obama Born In Hawaii: Time For GOPers To Put It On The Record

Its like a test where the sane people know the answer already.
The measure Abercrombie will introduce commemorates the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood. But here’s the rub, his spokesman tells me: It describes Hawaii as Barack Obama’s birthplace.
‘In the language of the resolution, there is a statement that Hawaii is the birthplace of the 44th [...]
Signs Of Life For Florida Dems?

One of the surprises (to me, at least) was the performance of Obama in Florida this past November. Based on the results of 2000 and 2004, in addition to poor performance in the gubernatorial races there, I figured Florida was moving to at least be a moderate GOP state. Now comes more evidence that the [...]

Aren’t many of these the same blue dog types who were voting for the war in Iraq when that crazy secret muslim Barack Hussein Obama was against it? Now, who’s judgement should we trust?
Yeah, that’s what I thought.

I sure hope so.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday ordered Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) to drop a proposal to tax health benefits and stop chasing Republican votes on a massive health care reform bill.

Senate Dems In Bold Experiment To Replace Brainpower With Poop

The Senate Dems should be showered in poop for even considering the idea that they should deny health care coverage for abortions in order to curry favor with the wingnut Republican fashion. News alert: you have sixty votes. That means there is no plausible reason for seriously engaging the knuckle draggers, let alone with this [...]

If only the scaredy pants Democrats in congress would let them have it.
Americans overwhelmingly support substantial changes to the health care system and are strongly behind one of the most contentious proposals Congress is considering, a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

2008 Election Map, Proportional To Electoral Votes (via)
Keep it up guys.
McCain won the South in November, but Obama swept the rest of the country by an even bigger margin. The same pattern holds now for House and Senate seats. Republicans may continue to win governorships in Democratic-leaning states, but in congressional and presidential elections the [...]
Republicans Don’t Like Republicans

I have finally found something to agree with Republicans on!
In thinking about the Republican Party’s troubles, consider this: One-third of Republicans now say they have an unfavorable opinion of their party.
There’s no such dyspepsia among Democrats. Just 4% have an unfavorable view of their party.

Last year Virginia played an important role in choosing now-President Obama in the Democratic primaries, showing that he did have strength in that swing state and we later turned the commonwealth blue in November. Now Virginia has chosen Creigh Deeds over Terry McAuliffe whose claim to fame to date had been presiding over one of [...]
