Last night Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson discussed that very possibility. I believe this pivots on exactly how much President Obama caves to the right. If he totally caves, then the possibility of this is very high. If that happens it wouldn’t shock me to see Hillary resign as Secretary of State and run against […]
Now that phrase has real meaning: US House Representative Wally Herger, of California’s 2nd congressional district, expressed “enthusiastic approval” of a town-hall attendee who described himself as a “proud right-wing terrorist,” newspapers in northern California report. Now if only the Democrats had the spine to exploit Herger’s sick support for a self described terrorist. Of […]
I really never thought I would hear something like this from Rahm: “The Republican leadership,” Mr. Emanuel said, “has made a strategic decision that defeating President Obama’s health care proposal is more important for their political goals than solving the health insurance problems that Americans face every day.” That’s the strongest position yet taken by […]
That’s the news catching on like wildfire this morning – that President Obama has dropped his support for a public option in the healthcare bill. Like most on our side I was at first really upset over this, but instead of starting my screams of anguish, I sat here and thought about it. When you […]
I found this argument to be beyond absurd: Fully 35 percent of Democrats believe George W. Bush had advance knowledge of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Fully 28 percent of Republicans believe Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States. Meet the fanatical third. The two can not be compared. A month prior to the attacks […]
As you may have heard the Democrats pulled a political punch yesterday in a resolution acknowledging the 50th anniversary of Hawaii as a state which also reads: Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii; This was a major shot across the bow of the birthers, of which a […]
For more proof that Republicans don’t care about health care reform as much as being obstructionists we turn to Roy Blunt: “Our bill is never going to get to the floor, so why confuse the focus? We clearly have principles; we could have language, but why start diverting attention from this really bad piece of […]
That seems to be the reason gaining the most traction, that Palin couldn’t work and the cost of defending herself against all the ethics complaints was too much to handle. Here’s a segment from FOX News where Sean Parnell, Palin’s successor, repeats just that. I can buy that as a reason, but does that mean […]
There are a couple strong theories behind Palin’s resignation right now. One is that she got fed up with the media attention and the other is that she is being indicted. I want to focus on the first. Let’s go with that first reason. If Palin thinks the media spotlight is too bright now, then […]
This is rather amazing: A new national poll suggests that nearly three-quarters of all Americans support the plan to withdraw most U.S. combat troops from Iraqi cities and towns, even though most believe that the troop movements will lead to an increase in violence in that country. But nowhere near as amazing as this: “This […]
