What A Lying Baby
Talk Left has more, but let me highlight. Rick Santelli, now famous for his CNBC rant, has donned his victim hat while telling a big ol’ whopper. Get this exchange with G. Gordon Liddy concerning WH Press Secretary Gibbs comments. SANTELLI: He started that press conference saying, “I don’t know where he lives, I don’t […]
Eeewwww

Carper still favors capitulation
h/t Politico: “The majority has to be inclusive,” Obama told about 150 legislators and expert gathered at his accountability summit, “But the minority has to be constructive… The minority then has to come up with… ideas, and not just want to blow things up.” Later, when Sen.

My Father, the Typical GOP 30%
My Q to him: So the stock market, the housing problem, the bank’s failing, circuit city going out of business is Obama’s fault? A: YUP!! As I said to you a long, long time ago; it is a psychological war. Before the conventions, they (e.g., Reid, Pelosi, etc.) were all saying how bad things were […]

A newly released NYT/CBS Poll spells even more trouble – if that’s even possible – for the GOP. A majority of people surveyed in both parties said […]

Rethugs, many trained by Newt Gingrich, have mastered the art of Orwellian double-speak. ‘Death Tax’, ‘Reaganomics’, and the like.
