Video: Dems ‘protect pedophiles’ but not the troops
Here we go, as the GOP knows its fortunes are going down the tubes, they have to resort to the usual bullsh*t lies, twisting the hearings on hate crimes legislation to suggest that Congressional Dems “support protecting pedophiles” and not troops. Of course the fact that members of the military…
Jeb on flailing GOP: give up Reagan worship, the party has no strategy
Talk about mixed messages. Just yesterday I blogged about the drop of a new video promoting the GOP’s latest effort to rebrand its tired-*ss self, The National Council for a New America, which relied heavily on the imagery of the Reagan “Morning in America” commercials, and even included shots of…
It’s Always Sunny In Kristoldelphia
Bill Kristol knocks out a halfhearted effort to explain why Arlen Specter defecting is great news for the GOP, using Jim Jeffords’ switch as an example. On May 24, 2001, I wrote an op-ed for The Post in the wake of Vermont Sen. James Jeffords’s party switch. I argued that…
RNC Chair Continues Plan To Be Edgy Black Man From 1992 Sitcom
Michael Steele will give the GOP an “off the hook” hip-hop makeover, telling critics to “stuff it”. Steele’s future plans include making Cross Colours the official outfitter of the 2010 midterms, mandating that all future parades involve ghost riding one whip per candidate and speaking as his alter ego, Romeo…
WV: Fake ‘gay sniper’ video targeting families, spreads paranoid, hate-filled victim meme
This is sick, and it shows the desperation of the Right to begin its 2010 campaign in West Virginia on the backs of LGBTs. They can’t run on the economy, the war or just about anything else, so it’s back to the homo strawman. This is the stellar work of…
There’s Things We Have Left To Fuck Up
Just because the GOP fucked everything up doesn’t mean you shouldn’t listen to them when they tell you how to fix it. Also, Republicans are complaining that they’re being shut out of the stimulus conference negotiations, despite exactly three of them voting for the bills in both houses of Congress.…
Jobless rate jumps to 7.6 percent, 598K jobs lost
As the GOP strokes itself with glee in its attempt to undercut the stimulus package for political gain, look at what the tax break, spend and warmongering economy of their former Dear Leader has wrought just in the last year — 3.5 million jobs have vanished. (AP): Recession-battered employers eliminated…
National Republican Congressional Committee web site: economy is robust, job creation strong
This is precious. Talk about a party in disarray. Either the GOP is as delusional as John McCain was on the state of the economy or they have some seriously lameass webmasters over at the National Republican Congressional Committee: “Thanks to Republican economic policies, the U.S. economy is robust and…
Colin Powell smacks down the wingnut faction of the GOP
It wasn’t just his reassessment of DADT that has Colin Powell on a roll. He blasted the politics of the McCain Mobs in his endorsement of Barack Obama, and now he’s taking a torch to the GOP for its inability to see its enthusiastic bigot appeal is limited. He said…
McCain team begins the blame game, and the alien bursts from the GOP’s chest
Yep, the results of November 4th aren’t in yet, but the folks inside the McCain/Palin campaign are readying their resumes for some Beltway pavement pounding and forming the circular firing squad. Sounds like a winning end game, huh? With despair rising even among many of John McCain’s own advisers, influential…
