I love the guys at Democrats.com because they will not settle for half-baked, warmed over, faux bipartisan, so-far-toward-the-center-it’s-now-on-the-right bullshit being served up by the Blue Dogs and too many others. Dear Brazenly Liberal, After months of debate, an overwhelming majority of Americans support a “robust public option” similar to Medicare. And thanks to the heroic efforts [...] Like Alan Grayson, Anita Dunn was a “Huh? Who?” name to most liberals a few weeks ago. But like Congressman Grayson, she’ll be a star by noon. That’s what happens when someone in the Democratic party finds the intestinal fortitude to tell the truth about the GOP and their fanboys. Here’s the Dishonor Roll of Democrats who betrayed the people: Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.). Remember them when their Primary opponents need money. (More info at Huffpo) We are finally and truly a nation that has its priorities straight. I am so proud of us! It surprises most city dwellers we know to learn how hard it is for us in farm country to buy good fresh produce locally. That’s because this is corn and soybeans country and most folks don’t realize that 98% of the soybeans and 80% of the corn grown in the United States is the type [...] That’s the subject line in an email from David Axelrod. “Something worth forwarding.” Jesus! Talk about a subject line guaranteed to see it’s deleted from many inboxes without reading because it looks like spam! Axelrod is an alright sort. It’s just that this White House, so beautifully eloquent in long form communications like speeches, really sucks [...] I’ve never been able to muster much good feeling for the slimy, hateful puppy-beating, possibly pedophilic reprobate, but if he’s going to encourage his addlepated followers not to vote for John McCain and, in fact, not to vote at all for either candidate for President in November, that’s a James Dobson that works for me. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-perry18-2009may18,0,3281558.story Eugene Robinson Wins Pulitzer Full list here Last night, the Vermont House of Representatives passed a bill giving the OK to same sex marriage. Passed it by a healthy margin, too. 95-52. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! The frustrating thing is that’s just a handful of votes short of what it would take to override the veto Republican Gov. [...] Oh yeah, baby! Finally! A Democratic candidate who doesn’t roll over and tremble at the appearance of the swiftboat assholes. From Rolling Stone, via the New York Times: It was not all about pop culture. When Mr. Wenner asked how Mr. Obama might respond to harsh attacks from Republicans, suggesting that Democrats have “cowered” in [...] It was so easy! Go along to get along, vote for capitulation and call it compromise. Piece of cake! In fact, all that work involved in giving a rat’s ass and fighting the good fight and protecting and defending the Constitution seems silly in retrospect. Just show up, vote whatever’s easy and then forget about [...] Common sense and civil liberties have prevailed in the Senate – by one vote. A proposed amendment to outlaw flag burning was voted down in the Senate After many requests (okay, two) from all over the country (my mom in Wisconsin and my sister in California), I am reviving the Angels & Assholes scorecard. Let’s start with yesterday’s vote to make English the national language. (S.2611, S.Amdt. 4064) 34 Angels voted NAY How did [...] |
