Working Out As Planned

August 9, 2011

Don't you just love it when a well thought out plan comes together? That's how members of the Republican Party have been feeling lately. Good about themselves. It's the way Tony Soprano and his cohorts felt after killing an enemy or hijacking a tractor-trailer full of plasma teevees. Satisfied with their performances. Take House Speaker [...]

Anti-Reagan GOP

June 2, 2011

It's difficult for conservatives to find a Republican president from modern American history whom they can set forward as a model of the brand of conservatism they are selling today. Republican President Ronald Reagan is the only modern U.S. GOP president whom today's conservatives still speak of with some respect….although I'm not sure how long [...]

Ignorant And Thuggish

February 9, 2011

Immediately after the Tucson Tragedy, Arizona Republican District 20 Chairman Anthony Miller resigned his post. Why did he resign? ….he stepped down in the face of "constant verbal attacks" and other forms of intimidation. "I wasn't going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday," he said. "I love the Republican Party but [...]

The Tears of a Clown

January 7, 2011

The first stunt which House Republicans have brought to the new Congress for consideration is entitled: "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act." No kidding. That's what we can expect for the next two years (at least) of Republican rule in the House. One need look no further than to the name of House resolution [...]

Obama "Hopeful", Calls Tax Deal "Progress"

December 18, 2010

Friday gave us some insight into what the next two years of Obama's presidency will look and….sound like. As the "change" president handed over the satchel full of money to the GOP ransom-demanders yesterday, he had this to say….. "This is progress and that's what they sent us here to achieve," Obama said…. "progress"……..extending, continuing [...]

Southern Discomfort

April 27, 2010

Here's a comment yesterday from Da King…..in response to The Reverend's blogpost, "Be Like Mike", concerning RNC Chair, Michael Steele's regret over the Republican party's use of Nixon and Reagan's GOP "southern strategy" to attract white, southern, used-to-vote-Democratic, voters….. In the year 2010, I don't think the "southern strategy" means a whole lot. The Rev's [...]

Promoting Discrimination In Virginia

February 23, 2010

One of the elections Republicans love pointing to and braying about, along with the election of GOP President, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, is the recent Virginia election for governor. The Republican, Bob McDonnell, won that Viginia election for governor by a wide margin….and along with the New Jersey GOP governor win….many conservatives, and virtually all [...]

Desperately Seeking Attention

February 4, 2010

It started during the 2008 presidential campaign. Republicans exclusively appealing to the radical-right base. Sarah Palin was front and center leading the effort, spewing nonsensical contradictions, ignorant and mistaken sound bites, and wild-eyed wingnut-pleasing mockery of Democrats, specifically Obama. After the GOP's crushing defeat in that election cycle, I appealed to Republicans to quit talking, [...]

Cold, Calculated, Cash-Rewarded Lying

February 3, 2010

Frank Luntz, GOP "word consultant", looking like he's squeezing out another loaf of deception. For many years now, Republicans haven't had any new policy ideas to offer to the American people. By definition, conservatism is against change…unless it's regressive (good old days and all that)…..so no new ideas coming from Republicans is to be expected. [...]

Hysteria Overload

January 13, 2010

I wasn't going to post on the Harry Reid comment about Obama…..that Obama is "light skinned" and "doesn't have a Negro dialect unless he wants to"….. because there's not much to talk about. Reid, who was praising Obama in his remarks, didn't say anything that wasn't true and didn't mean any of it as a [...]
