[excerpted from Tina Dupuy] It’s not that Republicans aren’t hypocrites – it’s more that the label just isn’t an effective dig. First, hypocrite is a fancy foreign Greek word like amnesty, ethics or Europe – how is that going to appeal to Republicans? Second, espousing virtues you don’t personally have to live up is basically […]
© August J. Pollak I really don’t understand the logic behind some people who complain about the Democrats not doing anything. It is actually amazing the number of things they have been able to accomplish, despite the fact that the Republicans have opposed (and often filibustered) pretty much all major Democratic initiatives.
© Lee Judge Republicans are using the deficit to attack Obama and the Democrats, but they don’t actually care about the deficit. When asked how they would cut the deficit, their only ideas are to go back to the economic policies of the Bush administration. In fact, every Republican voted against Obama’s balanced budget law. […]
© Keith Tucker The next time a Republican politician claims to be pro-business, ask them why they killed a bill that would help small businesses get loans? I guess it is more important to keep the economy in the shambles so you can blame it on Obama.
© Matt Davies Billions of dollars to bail out the banks, but nothing for the unemployed who lost their jobs because of the financial crisis brought on by the banks. What makes this doubly ironic is that the Republicans claim that extending unemployment benefits would only encourage people without jobs to avoid looking for work. […]
Reagan famously said “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem”. This quote has been taken out of context and twisted into implying that the government is incapable of solving problems, so the size of government should always be reduced by cutting taxes and eliminating government regulation. But if you read […]
© Rob Rogers Not to mention that bailing out the investment banks will only encourage them to rape and pillage the economy again. And electing Republicans in November will only encourage them to repeat the mess they got us into during the Bush administration. Learn from Republican logic. Don’t encourage them.
© Jim Morin Well, it looks like Michael Steele might get to keep his job as RNC Chairman. Apparently, Republicans are afraid of a drawn-out fight over their most prominent African-American leader during the build-up to the November elections. Instead, they are going to try to marginalize him. After all, his term as chairman is […]
From the National Review Online: An Idea for the RNC: Dump Steele, Hire Palin [Kevin D. Williamson] Re: Steele and the RNC: Allow me to chime in with my usual observation on this subject: This is a job for Sarah Palin. Palin would be a much better RNC chairman than presidential candidate or freelance kingmaker. […]
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), currently touring Afghanistan, when asked about Michael Steele’s recent comments about this being “Obama’s War”: This is not President Obama’s war. This is America’s war. … I want to separate myself from that statement. And the good news is Michael Steele is backtracking so fast, he’s going to be in Kabul […]
© Tom Toles I’m sure most patriotic right-wing Americans don’t even know what a Vuvuzela is, since they would never be caught dead watching anything but American Football. But if they use their trunks instead, that will be even better, since it will grow every time they say something!
A few weeks ago I reported on “americaspeakingout.com” a new website created by the Republicans “to increase the dialogue between Americans and their Congress”. Of course, the Republicans aren’t paying for the site themselves, they are using “official funds of the Office of the House Minority Leader” (John Boehner). According to the website: Here, Americans […]
© Tom Toles So which is it conservatives? Do you want Obama to stop the oil spill and clean up after it, or do you really want the federal government to stay out of it? You can’t have it both ways.
