Thursday’s Open Thread
Tea Parties, John Carney running for Congress, and Charlie Copeland launches another website, oh my! BTW, if you haven’t checked out DV’s video montage of Wilmington’s tea parties you’ve missed some great reporting. (I’ve linked to one, but there’s plenty more!) ‘Bulo gives us another great Republican breakdown, while DelawareDem issues a Thank You and […]
How Not To Make A Stand
Sanford gives in on stimulus, will seek funds for S.C. WASHINGTON — Gov. Mark Sanford will comply with a midnight Friday stimulus deadline and become the last governor in the nation to seek millions of dollars in federal economic-recovery funds for his state, aides said late Thursday. Sanford will continue contesting $700 million in education […]
Republicans Unveil Their Budget Plan… Or Not
Tax cuts for the rich? Check. What? Were you expecting more? Apparently so were reporters… “Two nights ago, the president said, ‘We haven’t seen a budget yet out of Republicans.’ Well, it’s just not true, because here it is, Mr. President,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), waving a blue document in the air. […]
GOP Governors Can Reject Stimulus Money
A non-partisan Congressional Report just released concludes “that it likely would be unconstitutional for a legislature to supplant a governor in accepting and using economic stimulus money.” The Congressional Research Service analysis could imperil tens of millions of stimulus dollars reserved for South Carolina and Texas, whose governors have said they will reject some of […]
The Lie That Won’t Die
Ari Fleischer is a big liar. FLEISCHER: It was in part because of Iraq and large part because of the economy that Barack Obama won. Having said that, I also think Barack Obama should say thank you every day that he inherited a world without Saddam Hussein in it. The one thing people are going […]
Say Good-Bye To Steele
Michael Steele is pro-choice. M (Michael Steele): The choice issue cuts two ways. You can choose life or you can choose abortion. You know, my mother chose life. So, you know, I think the power of the argument of choice boils down to stating a case for one or the other. L: Are you saying […]
Republicans Have Bigger Problems Than Lowering Pelosi’s Poll Numbers
They have Rush’s poll numbers. According to the Democratic polling firm, voters view the conservative talk show host “negatively by a two-to-one ratio (53 to 26 percent), with nearly half the country, 45 percent, viewing him very, very negatively. Among independents, the ratio rises to three-to-one.” 45% view him very, very negatively. I’m shocked, I […]
Dems Have Nothing To Lose In The Limbaugh War
Dems have nothing to lose in the Limbaugh War because this fight isn’t about us. It’s about Republicans. Seriously, we have nothing to lose. If Rush wins (and he’s clearly winning so far) then he becomes the leader of the Republican Party. However, if the GOP succeeds in putting Rush in his place then they […]
With All Due Respect… Republicans Need To Shut Up
Seriously, they need to shut up! And I’m saying this for their own good. Step One: Someone needs to put a stop to Michael Steele’s foot in mouth tour. Let’s review Steele’s greatest hits… “We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles,” Steele told the Washington […]
The GOP Loses Another Voice of Reason
RSmitty of Delaware Politics has just announced he’s leaving the GOP and becoming an Independent. I am not here to gloat. This was obviously a difficult decision, and not one that should be taken lightly – by either side. I refuse to cheapen Smitty’s decision with offers of congratulations. Today is a day of mourning, […]
Found on Twitter
I was just poking around Twitter, and found the following gem from Captain America writer Ed Brubaker: Listening to Republicans talk about how to save the economy is like listening to Ted Bundy talk about how to save lives. Holy sh**, that totally made my day.
Steele’s New Hip Hop GOP in Action
Grab the popcorn, this just gets better and better. SLIWA: Now, using a little bit of that street terminology, are you giving him any Slum love, Michael? STEELE: (laughter) SLIWA: Because he is — when guys look at him and young women look at him — they say oh, that’s the slumdog millionaire, governor. So, give me […]
