Delude Baby Delude
Republicans have no shame when it comes to their blind loyalty to big oil. Bill Kristol — seriously, this guy makes a living out of being a douche, said,”[off shore oil drilling] very environmentally clean, except when there is a disaster like the spill.” Limbaugh thinks it is an eco plot to stop drilling and […]
Another Dispatch From The Braintrust
Microchips are becoming the new black helicopters for the extreme right. Georgia is outlawing involuntary microchip implantation based partly on the testimony of a woman with psychiatric problems. At least one Republican candidate for Congress thinks we should go the opposite direction. Republican Pat Beroche (IA-03) thinks we should implant microchips to keep track of […]
What’s Wrong With Arizona?
It’s all about paper in Arizona – Immigration documentation and Birth Certificates. PHOENIX — The Arizona House on Monday voted for a provision that would require President Barack Obama to show his birth certificate if he hopes to be on the state’s ballot when he runs for reelection. The House voted 31-22 to add the […]
Georgia Legislature Competes With The National Enquirer… And Wins
Via TPM: The Georgia House Judiciary Committee took up a bill last week that would “prohibit requiring a person to be implanted with a microchip,” and would make violating the ban a misdemeanor. According to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, one exchange from the hearing could have been ripped right from Dr. Strangelove. […] […]
Another Backwards B Moment?
First, let me say that what happened to a fundraiser for Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and her boyfriend at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference last weekend was horrible. These people were brutally attacked and sustained serious injuries. Plain wrong and inexcusable. What’s also inexcusable… Since then the story has been making the rounds of the […]
Why Yes, I Do Intend To Document Every Incident
Here’s the latest: (Via Think Progress) After picking up his 10-year old daughter from school yesterday afternoon, Nashville resident Mark Duren was driving home when he was suddenly and intentionally rammed from behind by Harry Weisiger. Enraged at the sight of Duren’s Obama bumper sticker, Weisiger gave Duren “the bird” and then hit him from […]
The GOP Is Now Officially Guilty of Petulance
I think it was noted here somewhere the other day that on Tuesday, Senate Republicans used a little-known rule to prevent hearings from proceeding past 2:00 PM. In fact, our own beloved Sen. Carper was forced to halt a Senate Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing on transparency due to Republicans’ refusal to give unanimous consent to […]
Mike Castle: Pro-Repeal?
Mike Castle held a fundraiser with pro-repeal Republican Senator Orrin Hatch. The Republican discipline on health care reform is starting to disappear though. Some Republicans like Mitt Romeny (who is having trouble explaining why the MA individual mandate is o.k. but the national mandate is not), Rep. Mike Pence and Sen. Jim DeMint want a […]
You Must Read This Post
The post is really too good and too complete to give a good excerpt. It’s called “An open letter to conservatives” and it’s a well-researched post on some of the Republican hypocrisy, lies and calls for violence with many, many links included. Now the advice. You’re going to have to come up with a platform […]
Senate Republicans Find More Ways Not To Work (While Still Being Paid)
They really are big babies. There is a little-known rule in the Senate stating that hearings can’t happen after 2:00 p.m. each day without unanimous consent. However, every day, at the start of business, the Senate generally agrees, by unanimous consent, to waive this rule and continue with the necessary business of holding hearings. Here […]
Is Graham a RINO in Recovery?
Sen. Linsdey Graham, John McCain’s BFF, talking about health care reform on South Carolina radio inteview: Nancy Pelosi, I think, has got them all liquored up on sake and you know, they’re making a suicide run here. Rep. Mike Honda, a Democrat of Japanese-American descent, was not too pleased: I am disheartened that Senator Graham […]
Republicans Want To Raise Your Taxes
Paul Ryan is a Wisconsin Republican and a rising star in the party. He’s the ranking member of the House Budget Committee and several weeks ago he unveiled his plan for balancing the budget. It was a Republican plan on steroids – huge tax cuts for the wealthy, elimination of Social Security and Medicare and […]
