Indiana House committee advances right-to-work bill
INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) – An Indiana state House committee advanced Republican backed right-to-work legislation to the full House in a 15-minute meeting on Tuesday, one day after Democrats ended a boycott that had blocked its path. The measure passed to the full Indiana state House of Representatives in an 8-5 vote…
Scared?
Via Digby, I see Michael Tomasky has a theory as to why the Democrats let the Republicans set the media agenda, lie like motherfuckers, and basically act like they do without Democrats fighting back sufficiently. But the bottom line is this: the Democrats are afraid of the Republicans. They –…
Real vs. unreal Americans
Digby is amused/disgusted at conservatives who simply will not accept that having a majority in both houses of Congress and having the Presidency means that Democrats get to pass legislation. It’s been a common theme—making arguments about how “the people” don’t want this, arguments that imply that the Democrats got…
Stick a fork in them, they’ll say they’re done
Update: Now I feel dumb. It was such a given that the House and Senate bills would meet somewhere in the middle and we’d have to go through round two of this fight, that it never occurred to me that the House can just give up and pass the piss…
The pause before the epic failure
Happy Labor Day! Time to enjoy one last day of peace and quiet before the Democrats start selling out the voters on health care in what appears to be a suicide bid to return the Republicans to power. Josh Marshall has a short post up describing the possibilities: Am I…
Would you let this man talk to your children?
As Amanda notes, for a large group of racist-ass Americans, the answer is “no.” For me, of course, the answer is “Hell, I’d leave my kid in a room alone with him-for hours, even-which is more than I can say for most Republicans.” But it’s almost possible, if you stretch…
The partisan nature of bipartisanship
I want to add to some things Jesse said about this huge concern for consensus that’s sprung up in the media under the pretense that they’ve always been all about bipartisanship. Agreed with Jesse across the board—seeking consensus is a juvenile, naive tactic that just exposes you to obstructionism, as…
Reflections on a crazy week
Boy, this last week really drove home what it’s going to be like for the netroots now that Democrats are finally in charge. I, for one, am feeling really good about it. The mainstream media has shifted right back into the zone they were in when Clinton was President, which…
I Can Haz Penis In Yoo?
So, you’ve got this whole political movement focused on controlling women’s bodies, and doing so in a way that forces a restrictive, heteronormative and entirely invasive social structure on every person’s sexual choices from the womb to the tomb. The real problem with this? The other side. Truth Through Action…
