Open Thread

The Lies of the Lying Liar, Willard Mittens Romney, Pathological Liar Extraordinaire.

"We remember the president’s own party had a super majority in both houses for his first two years."

A number of the more purist liberals also believe this. A super majority is Constitutionally defined as two thirds, or 67%. The truth is the Democrats never enjoyed a super majority in the House of Representatives nor in the Senate.

The lies of the lying liar named Willard Mittens Romney, pathological liar extraordinaire, are so legion and numerous that we can fill every open thread from now until the election and have room to spare, only going on what he has said so far in the campaign. So that is exactly what we are going to do.

ABC News has a handy flowchart showing the many ways in which the Supreme Court could rule on the Obamacare case. A ruling is expected either on Monday, June 18 or Monday, June 25. And what did the special election in Arizona's 8th Congressional District tell us about November? It tells us that we can be outspent, and the Republicans can outrageously lie in their ads, but so long as we have the right message (and we did), we will win. Remember, the Arizona 8th CD is a Lean GOP district. And it is in the insane state of Arizona. And the Democratic message won.

A new DailyKos/SEIU/PPP poll finds that 49% of registered voters nationwide think Republicans are "intentionally stalling efforts to jumpstart the economy" to ensure President Obama's defeat for re-election. This is largely in line with a Washington Post/ABC News poll released in November that found 50% of Americans nationwide agree with the statement that President Obama is "making a good faith effort to deal with the country's economic problems, but the Republicans in Congress are playing politics by blocking his proposals." That's not exactly the sabotage question, but it's close. The problem of this election is whether the electorate will reward such treasonous action.

Delaware Liberal will be getting a site redesign soon, and whenever we redesign the site, I have fun with the logo. Check out two ideas I came up with....

Atrios posits a simple topic:

America is richer than it has ever been and can no longer afford the things that it used to.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tells the San Francisco Chronicle she is "upbeat about the prospects for a female president in her lifetime, namely her friend Hillary Rodham Clinton."

"Why wouldn't she run? She's a magnificent secretary of state. She's our shot."
