Something interesting is happening that isn’t getting much attention. There seems to be a growing fracture in the GOP over how President Obama is handling the situation in Iran. On one side you have people like John McCain complaining that we aren’t meddling enough in the election, then on the other side Republicans like Mel […]
A new PEW Research poll is out showing that President Obama is more “polarizing” than any other President. The poll finds that Obama has very high approval from Democrats, 88 percent, and very low approval from Republicans, 27 percent. The 61-point partisan gap eclipses George W. Bush’s 51-point gap in his first year, and that […]
It’s official. Today at CPAC Rush Limbaugh, spokesman of the RNC, restated his desire for our commander in chief to fail. Like I said earlier, the only other group I remember cheering and going wild over screams of the failure of America is al Qaeda. Luckily it looks like the Democrats aren’t going to let […]
Without reading past my headline, I wonder how many on the right would quickly see that, especially if it appeared on a site like DKos or Huffington Post, and start yelling calling me an America hater? Well I don’t wish for our troops to fail in the least. That’s why I never said things like […]
It looks like what happened in Iraq is starting to spread: Afghanistan’s president has sent a list of demands to the United States government about troop conduct ahead of the arrival of more U.S. forces next year. President Hamid Karzai said in a speech in the capital Thursday that he sent the missive last month […]
It just amazes me hearing Republicans, like Bob Corker, say that Bush caused our economic troubles. So much has helped lead to it and Bush is at fault on most of it, but so our the Republicans. For example, the Republicans couldn’t spend a whopping $14 billion on the auto industry, yet the Pentagon has […]
Roger Simon, someone very sympathetic towards the McCain campaign, has an interesting item up at the Politico: John McCain’s campaign is looking for a scapegoat. It is looking for someone to blame if McCain loses on Tuesday. And it has decided on Sarah Palin. In recent days, a McCain “adviser” told Dana Bash of CNN: […]
Bush addressed the nation a bit ago about the failure of the bailout bill. If the purpose of his speech was to instill some confidence into the market, a safe assumption given the timing of this speech, he failed miserably. (video just uploaded so might take a few to process) This is the look of […]
Barney gave a good response to reporters when asked about Republicans blaming Pelosi for being too partisan and causing the bailout to fail.
Republicans have jumped into the blame game with lightning speed following the failure of the bailout bill. Ed Henry has a good run down of the talking points here: 60% of Democrats voted for it, while 67% of the Republicans voted against it. It’s interesting that the Republicans are saying it was due to a […]
