You’d think
You’d think that a blog with part of its’ name being “Commonsense” you’d see some of that in the blogging…
Think again:
This is the party that’s defacto head is a Radio host that went deaf from his addiction to Oxycotin and used his maids to go to 9 different doctors for his prescriptions….
I continued to succumb myself to more “common sense” further down and found some more manure this time from Art Downs:
1. Now we have a President who exploited fear and trendiness to get elected.
Stop it! Stop laughing! What? He is serious…Seriously, dead serious. What? I said to stop laughing!
That’s right Obama used fear to get elected.
2. Many of the judicial nominees of George W. Bush were blocked by a radicalized Democrat party that is overly concerned about the rights of criminals.
Boy, they love to be the victim. OHHHH, those activist judges. Mercy me, socialism is here! We are all doomed. The congress held up all those appointees, Bush didn’t get any of “our” kind in there. Truth is though, he got about 90% of his selections appointed. and if you do A simple google (and believe me, they like google over there) found this:
“I think that what he has done on judges is his major triumph,” says political science professor Sheldon Goldman at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who has been tracking judges since the 1960s. “In almost every other area, domestic policy and foreign policy, there have been failures. But with judges, it’s a major success story.”
Facts, getting in the way of common sense political thoughts.
You could not invent a more oxymoronic name for that blog if you had 100 years to work at it.
True, Jason.
But let’s not let them rewrite history (the usual perview of the right, who can’t manage a reality in which they aren’t either victims or stars — how’s that for bi-polar) — Fear of a Black Planet was a core message coming from the McCain/Palin camp, as well as that McCarthy-era socialist charge and rounded out by whatever the lie of the day was. They weren’t offering anything to vote for and I’d bet alot of their traditional voters would have been grateful for that.
I keep thinking that “Republican’s with Backbone” would come pretty close …
That one has been making me giggle since the backbone post here on DL 🙂
It just proves that common sense isn’t that common.
I agree with the quote that Bush was successful getting his judges confirmed (with the exception of Harriet Miers. He got some really crazy ones on (with the help of the “Gang of 14”) like Janice Rogers Brown and Priscilla Owen.
You’d think paying your taxes would be ‘patriotic’.
According to Joe Biden it is, but:
Another Tax Crook gets a job in the Obama Administration.
Former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk has agreed to pay over $10,000 in back taxes in order to become the U S trade representative.
Don’t pay your taxes and you qualify for a big job in the Obama administration.
Spammer. The Talking Points Generator must have a bug in it.
that would be an ad-hominem if I ever saw one.
That tie is black.
“yeah, well your mom is ugly”
awesome.
Can’t wait till you win office. Why don’t you be like Feroce and leave the state and try to win somewhere else.
Hey Protack I got a question for you. You are a middle class, working stiff…why are you in the GOP? Do you believe that one day you too will become a multi millionaire? How can you turn your back on working people and stand with a party who believes the crap the republicans stand for?
While you republicans stood with Bush, as he trashed and burned the Constitution, took us into an unnecessary war…allowed Wall Street to deregulate our country into world wide depression, etc, etc. And now you support an idiot like Limbaugh who claims to support the Consitution…the hypocrisy is mind blowing.
liz,
do me a favor and don’t comment on my posts. I’m disgusted by you and your anti-semitism. You make me ill to my cores.
Talking about crooks — this report here gives you just a few crooks from the Bush administration – but yeah, his administration was perfect, wasn’t it Mike P.?

Perhaps had yopu actually read, and understood, the post, you’d have seen the common sense. The post was a response to a column by Karen Heller of The Philadelphia Inquirer, who is shocked, shocked! that some Republicans are angry right now, angry with the direction President Obama is leading. The point was that Mrs Heller could not have missed the anger your side had during the past eight years, so it was a bit disingenuous for her to be surprised that maybe Republicans could be less than pleased now.
And yes, Mr Obama did use fear to get elected, running on the fear that Republican policies would cost you your jobs, and running on the class envy position, oh, we must screw the wealthy! He ran not against John McCain, but against George Bush.
As much as y’all trashed Sarah Palin, she had more experience in government, and in running things, than did Barack Obama; he sure didn’t win based on his record.
By the way, aren’t y’all sending out pings or trackbacks; your article never showed up as an incoming link.
That’s even more stupid, Dana.
We (and even folks who even voted for BushCo) ended up mad at them for needless wars that were badly executed and ran over budget; for authorizing torture; for abandoning the Geneva Conventions; for a preference for belligerence over diplomacy; for unwinding regulations that helped make the world dirtier; for paying to attention to climate change; for conducting his Presidency all for the benefit of FoxNoise audiences; for breaking the economy so spectacularly; for never delivering on the compassionate conservatism — and this list could go on for days.
Repubs are angry for no other reason than they have retreated to their original DNA as the Party of Their Resentments. President Obama campaigned on very specific ideas and issues and it seems a giant waste of energy to be angry at him for 1) working on governing the way he said he would; and 2) working on fixing an economy that your party quite broke.
