“The last couple of weeks have been very tough for Republicans because of course they always have to call for the opposite of whatever Obama is saying or doing. And this has been hard when Obama himself has been changing his mind pretty much on a daily basis. First he was against the bombing, of […]
© Tony Auth The Republicans have painted themselves into a corner. They know that once Obamacare is implemented, people will like it. More people will have health coverage. You won’t have to change insurance companies (and often doctors) when you change jobs, and will be able to get health insurance even if you quit your […]
Paul Waldman has an excellent article in The American Prospect, “The Finger of Blame Points Only One Way“. It points out why Republican efforts to convince Americans that a government shutdown would be Obama’s fault are doomed to fail. His main point is that everybody knows that the Republican party is the one that hates […]
© John Deering The GOP actually has a website where they explain why they are opposed to Obamacare. Interestingly, it was published in March 2011 (over two years ago) so we can check on some of their claims. For example, did you know that the individual mandate is unconstitutional? Unfortunately for the GOP, the Supreme […]
“Russian President Vladimir Putin wrote a scolding Op-Ed piece in The New York Times. He thinks people still read The New York Times.” – Craig Ferguson “Vladimir Putin has taken his criticism of America up a notch. Today he wrote an Op-Ed for The New York Times asking the U.S. to be more civilized. Unfortunately, […]
Juan Cole has posted a most excellent rant about the GOP, entitled “I lived to See the Day when the Pope and the President of Iran are more doctrinally Flexible than the GOP“. You really should go read the whole thing as it is short and to the point. But if you won’t go read […]
The CIA has for the first time publicly admitted that it and the British MI6 were behind the 1953 coup that overthrew the democratically elected prime minister of Iran and installed the hated Shah of Iran, who ruled as dictator for 26 years until overthrown by the 1979 Islamic revolution. Why did we do it? […]
“Last week Americans viewed 12 times as many stories about Miley Cyrus as they did about Syria. Which is why last night President Obama gave his speech on Syria while rubbing up against Robin Thicke.” – Conan O’Brien “If Obama really wanted to sell us on Syria, he should have taken a page from the […]
Headline in the NY Times: Pope Says Church Is ‘Obsessed’ With Gays, Abortion and Birth Control Six months into his papacy, Pope Francis sent shock waves through the Roman Catholic church on Thursday with the publication of his remarks that the church had grown “obsessed” with abortion, gay marriage and contraception, and that he had […]
How fractured has the Republican Party become? Yesterday, Republicans announced that they are giving in to their anarchist fringe, and will shut down the government if Democrats don’t agree to defund Obamacare. Today, the Turd Blossom of George W Bush’s presidency, Karl Rove, has published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that calls this […]
Sadly and predictably, the entire contingent of House Republicans from Colorado asked (practically begged) the federal government for emergency funding in the wake of massive flooding in Colorado, but they all voted against emergency relief for Superstorm Sandy victims on the East Coast just a few months ago. The same Republicans also signed a letter […]
House Republicans say “This is the line in the sand.” House Speaker John Boehner has given in to the radical fringe of his party who say they will shut down the government unless Democrats agree to repeal healthcare reform. So here is the choice they are demanding: If Obamacare is repealed, people will die. If […]
“Fox opposes a Syria peace plan because its modus operandi is to foment dissent in the form of a relentless and irrational contrarianism to Barack Obama and all things Democratic, to advance its ultimate objective of creating a deliberately misinformed body politic whose fear, anger, mistrust, and discontent is the manna upon which it sustains […]
© Barry Deutsch I’ve often commented about the idiocy of comparing the federal budget to a typical family budget. But I had to post this comic because of the last panel. Indeed, some politicians are proposing exactly that — to steal our elders’ Social Security insurance money. Who would ever suggest such a thing?
