The Dangers Of A Two Party System
Several weeks ago I wrote a post pointing out how, through closed primaries, the 21%ers will control who’s at the top of the Republican ticket. Frank Rich digs deeper, and, as bored as I am with Sarah Palin, Rich points out why we may be dealing with her in 2012. (Read the whole article.) In […]
Jindal Not Ready For Prime Time
I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when Bobby Jindal issued the Republican rebuttal, but, one thing’s for sure, I didn’t expect it to be as bad as it was. And it was really, really bad. And I’m not alone in my opinion. The reviews are in, and they aren’t good. BRIT HUME: “The speech […]
RNC To Crush Dissent
h/t Politico, although their title features the hilarious typo “disssidents”: RNC Chairman Michael Steele has threatened to withhold party funds from three GOP senators who voted for the stimulus package. : “Will you, as RNC head, recommend no RNC funds being provided to help them?” Steele was asked on Fox News. “Oh, yes, I`m always […]
Legalizing Marijuana More Popular Than Republicans
And, apparently, more popular than than Republican policies, too — Chris Bowers does the work (see Open Left for links to where the polling comes from): It should also be noted that, at 40-41% (ed. note: Rasmussen and CBS polls respectively) support, legalizing marijuana is more popular than all of the following: * Opposing stricter […]
SNL Tried to Parody the GOP
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iRWukDe4BI[/youtube] This parody from Saturday past is of the current GOP tactic of cheering on the failure of the economy so that they can get some electorial gain out of it. Except this invoked to me the same watching a trainwreck feeling that I get when reading wingnut blogs these days. It seemed just a […]
Campaign Finance Issues — Michael Steele Edition
…or How The So-Called “Good News” for Republicans became the same old story. The Washington Post reports that new RNC Chair Michael Steele has a number of unresolved campaign money issues: The recent allegations outlined four specific transactions. In addition to the payment to Steele’s sister, Fabian said that the candidate used money from his […]
Why Obama Looks So Buff…
Take a look at the competition. Fair warning: I can’t decide what looks worse, Nancy Reagan in a bathing suit (pre-mastectomy) or the untimely picture of Bill Clinton and the sea of temptation.
McCarthy as the Father of Modern Conservatism
So posits Neal Gabler in this morning’s LA Times op-ed. But there is another rendition of the story of modern conservatism, one that doesn’t begin with Goldwater and doesn’t celebrate his libertarian orientation. It is a less heroic story, and one that may go a much longer way toward really explaining the Republican Party’s past […]
Chuck Hagel Taking Names
Wow! On comedian Rush Limbaugh: “We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh,” said Hagel, sarcastically referencing the talk radio host who once called him “Senator Betrayus.” “You know, I wish Rush Limbaugh and others like that would run for office. They have so much to contribute and so much leadership and they […]
I’m sensing a consensus
Watch this video. Not everyone shares Sarah Palin’s vision of Sarah Palin’s future. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE3gTWQeDxM[/youtube] Is it just me, or are Republican Governors so over her? Talk about dodging a question! Bet these guys just ended up on Ted Nugent’s hit list. Snark aside, could we please have more of this? Republicans, please, go get those torches […]
The Republican Myth
Read the following statement by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) and tell me where the Republican Party is headed. When asked by Chris Wallace what “conservative solutions” the GOP would bring to their current minority-party status, Pence said social issues like “the sanctity of marriage” will remain the backbone of the Republican platform. “You build those […]
There Will Be Blood
The lines of battle have been drawn. The Republican Civil War begins. Jim Nuzzo, a White House aide to the first President Bush, dismissed Mrs Palin’s critics as “cocktail party conservatives” who “give aid and comfort to the enemy”.He told The Sunday Telegraph: “There’s going to be a bloodbath. A lot of people are going […]
