The Democrats, who were sent to office with a clear mandate last year, seem to forget who they should be representing – the majority that voted for them. Listening to talk radio I am starting to hear a lot of disgruntled Democratic constituents call in and voice their concern over the turn the health care […]
So the Republicans want to “protect” Medicare now? I wonder if anyone will ask them about the debacle the Republicans caused with Medicare in 2006 with the new Medicare drug program. Remember that? The news was covered with stories of seniors not being able to receive their life supporting medications because of the mess created […]
Matt Taibbi: I’ll say this for George Bush: you’d never have caught him frantically negotiating against himself to take the meat out of a signature legislative initiative just because his approval ratings had a bad summer. Can you imagine Bush and Karl Rove allowing themselves to be paraded through Washington on a leash by some […]
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 […]
CBS has published a New Republic article entitled “Meet Iran’s George W. Bush”, in which they talk about the similarities between the election in Iran and the 2004 election for George Bush. Now the right is up in arms over this. Gateway Pundit: THIS IS WAY-WAY OVER THE TOP—- CBS compares Iran’s Holocaust denier, womens […]
Obama had a celebration yesterday with Mexico’s ambassador and had a little gaff: President Barack Obama is celebrating Cinco de Mayo a little early. On the eve of the Mexican holiday, Obama on Monday had an event in the East Room of the White House with Mexico’s Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan (sahr-oo-KHAN’). Obama joked that it […]
I’m sure the right is outraged over Supreme Court Justice David Souter announcing his retirement only a few months into a Democratic administration. They probably view it as the final deception by the George H.W. Bush choice who turned out to be more to the left than right. Now we get the media frenzy over […]
There should really be no debate, but in an effort to protect George Bush, Dick Cheney and the entire formal cartel administration, Republicans are making this a big debate. Here’s Newt trying his hand at the debate yesterday: Actually there is no debate. We have said its illegal and the courts have also sided with […]
That was the advice Joe Scarborough had for his “conservative brethren” this morning. You think Joe would know that his party has always been the greatest embracers of conspiracy theories. That’s all they have to sell their broken ideology. Off the top of my head, here’s a few we heard over the past several years: […]
During the Bush years any dissent we showed on the left from the Bush policies was met with a fear of retribution from our government. The Pentagon even spent resources spying on protestors during the Bush years. This at a time when our nation was in two very deadly wars. Well here we are with […]
