The lack of maturity by the House GOP is on full exhibit today as they debate healthcare reform. Here’s a compilation put together by Think Progress of the GOP trying to silence women lawmakers today: Here’s something that isn’t childish – people will die while they Republicans pull these games because they don’t have healthcare. […]
This is a priceless move by several House Republicans yesterday: When it’s a choice between strengthening the Patriot Act, or showing up for the Tea Party Patriots, what’s a GOP lawmaker to do? We’ll give you one guess… Several Republican members of Congress yesterday blew off votes on the signature anti-terror legislation of the post […]
On the Ed Show a bit ago, Markos went after chickenhawk Tom Tancredo. When Markos informed Tancredo that he was an actual Veteran and not some chickenhawk who went off and got a deferment during Vietnam, well Tancredo decided to take his ball and go home. I just love it when the wingnuts get so […]
Not 24 hours after the massacre at Ft. Hood, wingnuts have found a way to turn it into something political. In this instance, Maj. Hasan was an adviser to Obama, brought to you by birther in chief – Jerome Corsi. What a great way to honor the memory of those who perished yesterday – NOT.
More bad economic news for the real people of America – the workers: The unemployment rate in the U.S. soared to a 26-year high of 10.2 percent in October and employers cut more jobs than forecast, underscoring why Federal Reserve policy makers say interest rates will remain low until the labor market recovers. Payrolls fell […]
There is still a lot of speculating going on, but the most reasonable sounding thing I have heard so far is this: His cousin said Maj Hasan had been resisting such a deployment. “He hired a military attorney to try to have the issue resolved, pay back the government, to get out of the military. […]
Here is Rep. Todd Akin reciting the pledge today to the teabaggers in hopes of “driving liberals crazy”: Notice something missing? Akin forgot the word “indivisible”. I don’t know about you, but when I see a member of our Congress not knowing the Pledge of Allegiance, well it drives this liberal crazy. Great job Tea […]
And the failure in math from the right begins: After the 9/12 march on Washington, conservatives falsely claimed that over a million people attended, when in reality the closest thing to an official count — numbers given by the Washington DC Fire Department to ABCNews.com — placed the crowd at “approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people.” […]
Watching Tweety talk about the carnage that happened today at Ft. Hood is seriously raising my blood pressure. In a conversation between him and Cliff Van Zandt I have heard 9/11 brought up a few times and reference the main shooters last name, Hasan, as being a key to what has happened. Of course then […]
So far 10 teabaggers have been arrested today in the Capital Hill protests: They were charged with unlawful entry (entering a Congressional office and refusing to leave when told to do so) and/or disorderly conduct (yelling in the hallway outside an office) at Room 235 in the Cannon House Office Building. Room 235 is Speaker […]
