Where Were The Tea Parties?

Conservatives are just not believable, marching in the streets about their supposed opposition to increase in the national debt.

Is the debt increasing? Sure, but we have to spend to get out of the hole we got into under conservative governing. The teabag crowd didn’t get angry about the debt until the President had a (D) [...]

Next Thing He’ll Accuse Him Of Being A Warmonger

That’s how seriously you should consider Architect Of Failure Karl Rove’s critique that President Obama is running a permanent campaign.

Palin Helped McCain Lose

I’m always bemused by this type of analysis of the 2008 election from the right. In the piece Dan Riehl tries to argue the case that Palin was mismanaged by the McCain campaign, and as if they had only let Sarah be Sarah she might have saved the effort.
Bull.
While Palin energized some of the conservative [...]

Superstar Billy Graham Targets Linda McMahon’s Senate Campaign

Whoops
Graham is furious about having no pension and no continuing health care from his wrestling career, an anger that fuels his campaign against McMahon’s candidacy.
‘She may look like a Sunday school teacher,’ Graham said, but he insists nothing could be further from the truth. ‘Linda McMahon’s hands are as bloody as her husband’s because she [...]

Louie Gohmert: Democrats Want Another Terror Attack For Jobs

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your modern Republican party. Gohmert will not be rebuked, shunned, or even chided for his disgusting comments. In fact, as Steve Benen notes, this is probably a good move for him in order to move up to leadership.

They’re Going To Tilt After Every Windmill

So Redstate, and maybe other conservative groups, are going to be going after a Republican senator from UTAH? Look, it isn’t like I enjoy conservative dollars being flushed down the drain, but isn’t that a smidge off? The guy’s a Utah Republican, not exactly the kind of guy wearing sandals and sitting in a drum [...]

Michael Steele: Some White Republicans Are “Scared Of Me”

The gift, it keeps on giving.
MARTIN: But your candidates got to talk to them. One of the criticisms I’ve always had is Republicans — white Republicans — have been scared of black folks.
STEELE: You’re absolutely right. I mean I’ve been in the room and they’ve been scared of me. I’m like, ‘I’m on your side’ [...]

Making Florida The Next NY-23?

The Club For Growth endorses Marco Rubio in Florida, because the current GOP is far more interested in a right wing extremist like Rubio rather than a popular governor like Crist having a shot at federal office.
Its not a coincidence that the same mindset that drove the country into a ditch over the last 8 [...]

Eric Cantor Soon To Be Pimp Slapped

You can’t criticize Rush Limbaugh and be a member of the modern Republican party.
‘The Republican Party in its roots is a party of inclusion and we ought to be promoting that and making sure that voices are heard,’ Cantor, of Virginia, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s ‘Political Capital with Al Hunt,’ airing today.
Cantor, [...]

CBO: Fake GOP Health Care “Bill” Is Useless

Turns out Alan Grayson was completely right.

I am totally shocked.
The Congressional Budget Office said on Wednesday that an alternative health care bill put forward by House Republicans would have little impact in extending health benefits to the roughly 30 million uninsured Americans, but would reduce average insurance premium costs for people who have coverage.
The Republican [...]

Purge, GOP, Purge

Dede Scozzafava’s decision to endorse the Democrat and not the far-right Conservative party candidate in NY-23 will probably not help Bill Owens, who was a long shot to win a +30 Republican seat. But it tells you what you need to know about the current Republican party.
They are purging those who do not march in [...]

Fox: Michelle Bachmann Is A Universal Nightmare

Again, its on Fox News. Must be true.

Congressional GOPers Defend Leader Limbaugh

There was a congressional hearing today to discuss head injuries in the NFL. Republican Steve King took the opportunity to attack NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and demand an apology to Leader Limbaugh for not letting his racism into the NFL.

Fox News: John McCain Is A “Universal Nightmare”

Hey, Fox News reported it, so it must be TRUE.

John Ziegler Offers Olbermann $100,000 To Debate His Crush On Sarah Palin

What a nutty guy
I will make this offer to Olbermann. If he has me on the show to debate Palin-related issues, live, for a full hour, I will pay his favorite charity $100,000, which is more than any profit I am ever likely to make from my film “Media Malpractice.” This offer is 100% real.
The [...]

NY-23 GOP Civil War

Quitter Sarah Palin has endorsed the Conservative party candidate in NY-23 while Newt Gingrich and the GOP establishment has thrown their support to the Republican candidate. WAR!
Keep it up guys.

Fightin’

“I choose to fight. Stand and fight, stand and fight!”
– John McCain
Conservatives had it easy for several decades. The Democratic left of the ’70s and ’80s was in full retreat, convinced by the Reagan revolution that they had no serious place in the American political spectrum. Occasionally there were flashpoints, like Ted Kennedy being so [...]

Eric Cantor Defends The Derivatives That Crashed The Economy

Brilliant
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) must have known he was opening himself up for some abuse when he penned an Investors Business Daily op-ed praising the reviled derivatives industry for playing an ‘very important role in solidifying the competitiveness of American businesses.’

Bernard Kerik In Jail

This is the man George W. Bush and Rudy Giuliani wanted to put in control of Homeland Security for the entire nation.
A federal judge on Tuesday revoked bail for Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York police commissioner who is facing conspiracy and fraud charges.
Judge Stephen C. Robinson of Federal District Court in White Plains [...]

Rudy Giuliani Up To Old Tricks

You know, next to Dick Cheney, Giuliani is probably the highest ranking fascist to hold office in America ever.
