Again, I am writing this as a life long Democrat, but a Democrat who cherishes our need for opposing ideas in order to provide the best for our nation. Part of the Republicans biggest problem is their ego, which I mentioned in my previous post. I think another example of this can be seen in […]
Patrick Ruffini writing at The Next Right: It could have been like any other of the hundreds of pieces I had seen in the last few months touting Joe’s latest exploits. Joe the Plumber — a one or two day campaign gimmick — has become a poster boy for conservatism. To say that the McCain […]
That’s a very serious question for a very serious issue: The housing crisis is hitting military families particularly hard, according to real estate agents and service member advocacy groups. Many who bought during the boom and must now relocate because of fresh orders are faced with selling their homes at a big loss. They are […]
Going from Obama’s speech to Jindal’s was a shock to the system. Watching the reaction meter on MSNBC, I wasn’t the only one who thought this. Even McCain voters weren’t impressed. Bobby Jindal is supposed to be the big star of the Republican party – their night in shining armor to deliver them from the […]
I posted about California’s GOP punishing some of its members for voting for tax hikes the other day. It looks like that notion is picking up steam as the RNC’s Michael Steele is now talking about punishing senators Collins, Specter and Snowe for their support of the stimulus. (h/t AmericaBLOG) Something we used to hear […]
Bipartisanship is another name for date rape –Grover Norquist quoted in the Denver Post 2003. This was right after the Republicans took control of Senate in 2002. It seems back then that the Republicans had no desire for bipartisanship. Something else Norquist said in the same interview: We are trying to change the tones in […]
Just not on Morning Joe, Scarborough said that Obama’s approval ratings will continue to go up because the stimulus package passed and that makes Obama a winner, and Americans “love winners”. Really? The past two years George Bush was able to get whatever he wanted out of Congress, yet look at his approval rating. Also […]
The Republican Party is totally broken and this could lead to a huge divide in the party that will be so much fun to watch. The stimulus bill is causing this divide. While congressional GOP is fighting it, the Republican governors are pushing for it. As matter of fact the governors pushing for it is […]
This brings a huge smile to my face: President Obama listened to Republican gripes about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders Friday morning – but he also left no doubt about who’s in charge of these negotiations. “I won,” Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation. Apparently the Republicans […]
David Frum’s new website is up and running. It’s called The New Majority and supposed to be geared towards building a new conservative movement. Interesting enough, here is their featured post right now: Palin’s “Donated” Clothes Stashed in Trash Bags at RNC <p>Despite the Republican National Committee’s promise to donate Sarah Palin’s $180,000 campaign wardrobe […]
