Chris Matthews & Howard Dean-Identical Braintards

Chris Matthews. What does one say? Ethics? Professionalism? Smarts? Don't need to say a word when he opens his mouth.




Howard Dean gets taken apart by Chris Wallace and decides to throw some more you know what out there and gets taken down again. Maybe Howie will go for three.

Harry Reid States We Will Have A Public Option

Screw the voter. Who cares about them. It is all about what Harry, Nana and Barack and of course the nutroots crowd want. Together they represent what? About 21% of the people. To them that's a majority.

SHOCK: Petty Dem Politicos Blame Bush For Gulf Spill

To hear Madam Pelosi and crew, it was those horrid Republicans that pushed oil companies far out into the Gulf to drill. Those capitalist running dog pigs wanted Big Oil to have to expend huge amounts of capital instead of letting them drill on land at less expense and less danger of problems.

Now Demos don't want the Repubs to see what they've wrought when actually they really really want them to see. See?

Oil spill visits get partisan

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) wanted to fly 10 lawmakers down to the Gulf of Mexico to see the damage caused by BP’s gigantic oil spill first hand.

House Democrats said no.

.. but,

“Every Member should see the result of eight years of failed Bush-Cheney energy policies that have done nothing to secure our energy future,” said Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill.

This is getting really tiresome. It is what you'd expect when you have such people as Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, et al in charge who then hire little toadies like Drew Hammill. When childish know-it-alls are in charge you have to expect childish behavior Maybe we should have hall monitors in Congress. It's a good idea until you ask which responsible person they would be sent to for reprimand and punishment. Obama? Yeah, him and Rahm Emanuel.

Under Obama's Tutelage Iraq And The Middle East Spiral Back Into Brutality And Fear

What scared the left in America and terrorists worldwide was the success of Democracy in Iraq. Those in the Middle East who are pro-democracy are in a state of disbelief. How could something as hopeful as freedom be dashed by one man so fast, even by a man they supported. Obama has abandoned the promises he made in Egypt to Arabs about democracy and freedom, he has in fact thrown those who believed him overboard to be left on their own after believing the promises of support from American presidents.

Anti-Qaeda Sunni imams slaughtered in Iraq: military
Two Sunni Arab imams were brutally killed on Monday in Iraq, including one who was decapitated and had his head planted on a power pole, in attacks blamed on Al-Qaeda, military officials said.

The slayings in the province of Diyala, northeast of Baghdad, were against anti-Qaeda preachers who regularly railed against the terror network during Friday sermons.

Obama campaigned with a theme that he would bring respect back foreign respect of America. He would make America stand for something good, not evil and bad as the previous administration had done. That Obama created this love deficit out of whole cloth is beside the point. What is the point is that he has made America a country not to be believed by those that want to break the chains of history while maintaining the status quo of dictators, fanatics and self appointed power thugs.

Alas, it is the same strategy he is employing here. Not just broken promises, but promises made that were never intended to do anything more than sound good enough to fool some of the people for some of the time. Time enough to accomplish his hope and change which have little or nothing to do with the hope and change of the people.

It's So Progressive To Lie About A Lie To Try To Make It True

In a transparent attempt to make a lie look as if it is the truth, Progress Ohio tells a second lie. This concerns the Democrat congressman who said he was spit on, though there is no proof, and PO props up the false contention by saying that afterward a Republican congressman went up to congratulate the supposed spitter for his dastardly deed.



I guess PO is just following orders from its overlords at Progress Now. In Denver.

Dear America, You Slimy Thugs. Love, James Carville And The Democrat Money Machine

Lizardhead is in his high dudgeon mode to invoke a money bomb, nonviolent of course, in support of the majority in Congress that represented the minority of people that wanted the Democrat's "health care reform."

He would have been a little less disingenuous if he'd just sent a mp3 of himself singing:

The best things in life are free
But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want), oh-yeh,
That's what I want.

 Your lovin' give me a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bills.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want), oh-yeh,
That's what I want.

 Money don't get everything it's true.
What it don't get I can't use.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want), oh yeh,
That's what I want.

It wouldn't be pretty, him being all squinty eyed and flopping around like a goosed chicken, but it would be more honest.

Nancy Laughing At Us II, 'Let Them Eat Cake'

The Political Cost Of Health Care

Much has been said of the economic cost of health care which, simply put is that we can't afford this bill of entitlements. The political cost may be higher for the Democrats.

They probably have lost the pro-life vote for the foreseeable future. This will cut across many religious groups. It is unfortunate to the nth degree that Nancy Pelosi, allegedly a Catholic, directed this fight.

Many different political groups have been awakened from their slumber. Conservatives that thought their back was covered have rejoined the fray. Republicans who were uncommitted are now energized. Moderate Republicans who do that, "Oh, I just vote for the best candidate," now see in stark terms what that has accomplished. Independents and especially those that weren't interested in politics may not know that the Republican Party is their home, but they well know now that the Democrat Party is not their political home, in fact, it is a bordello to be avoided.

Older Americans are very angry with what the Democrats have done to them financially (and how they were used as bartering chips) and the young voter demographic is now more pro-life and conservative than in recent history.

Working Americans, many of them Blue Collar workers who thought they were voting for hope and change, know that vast amounts of money is being spent and someone will have to pay it back. That it is being spent on health care reform in place of jobs and the economy only compounds their anger.

The most important group affected is that block of voter that smells a rat. They may not have the intense involvement, thus the deep knowledge, of what is in the health care reform bill, but they know it stinks. It stinks the way it was passed, it stinks because they know they were lied to and it stinks because of their common sense which tells them that this whole charade is bull.

Many of this last group will vote Republican in the near future, but others that may have voted Democrat in the past will just fade into the, “they’re all liars,” group of voters.

If I was breaking out the demographic profile for the Democrats I’d be scratching my head a lot, because the historical number crunching method isn’t going to work next time around.

Kos Guy Blackwaterdog Thinks America Racist, Yeah...

I don't think anyone was under some real illusion that the election of Barack Obama actually means the end of racism in America.

If they did they don’t understand humans.

I'm pretty sure that the president-elect knew it better than anyone. After all, he saw it every day, from the moment he announced his candidacy. To some degree, he saw it within his own party during the primaries. And he saw it in all ugliness during the general election. For half of this country, he was "That One". No matter how big and clear his victory was. No matter how smart he is. No matter how decent he is. No matter what a true patriot he is. No matter how optimistic and positive his vision for America was. All that didn't matter. Because at the end of the day, he was still black.

Over half the voters voted for him and I can with the same veracity as Blackwaterdog that those that opposed his election did so because they opposed his platform and who he was, not his skin color.

I'm quite old. I remember, vaguely, where my parents been on November 22, 1963. I've seen so many presidents. Some were feared, some were hated, some were adored, some popular and some not. But all of them, without exception, were treated with the highest respect deserve to the office of the president of the United States.

Highest respect? What crap. Both Bushs, Reagan and Nixon come to mind as not only not getting the “highest respect”, but were denigrated at every chance by their opponents and the media.

That is until a black man won the right to occupy this office. It's been 13 months now, and in the eyes of so many, Barack Obama is still that one. He is being disrespected and at the same time being held to the highest standard of any president I've ever seen – and not just by the Republican side. He has to perform three times better than any president in history, and even that may not be enough.

He is disrespected because of his disdain for others, his policies and his failure to achieve or resolve the problems we face. He is disdained because he has an agenda which is completely out of touch with the majority of the electorate. Can you say jobs?

For the media, he is many more times just "Obama" than "President Obama". They create scandals out of nothing issues. It took them at least 6 years to start giving Bush a small part of the shit he deserved. It took them 6 months to begin crap all over Obama because he's yet to fix the catastrophe that was left for him.

Whether the majority liked Bush or not they saw that he was focused on their priorities. Love the “highest respect” ole Blackwaterdog is showing the office of the President of the United States.

They use condescending tone when they talk about him, and only mildly less condescending when they talk TO him. With anyone else, CNN wouldn't dare go to commercials every time the president speaks, like they did during that summit on Thursday. They wouldn't dare counting how many minutes George Bush or Bill Clinton were talking. Chris Mathews wouldn't dare making an issue out of Ronald Regan calling members of congress by their first name, like he is not actually the freaking president. They fully cooperate with the Right-Wing smear machine when it comes to president Obama's national security performance – even if almost every independent and military expert actually thinks that he's a terrific Commander in Chief. You'll never see them on TV, and virtually no one from the Left, in congress and outside, defend the president on this matter.

This paragraph is so incoherent in light of the facts there is nowhere to begin, but one question might be, do you remember whether Clinton wore boxers or briefs?

I don't care about the Far-Right. They're just crazy ignorant Neanderthals. It's the way the beltway and the mainstream treats this president that is shocking. On Thursday, almost every Republican had no trouble interrupting him in the middle of a sentence. They looked like they're going to vomit every time they had to say "Mr. president". They all had this Eric-Cantor-Smirk whenever he spoke. Then they went out and started to spit their stupid talking points, to the delight of the media. Sarah Palin, a woman who can hardly read, thinks that he was "arrogant" towards John McCain, and somehow this is an important news. Because you see, "Obama's Arrogance" is the talking point of the day.

“Obama’s arrogance”? People might think that because they didn’t think his put down of McCain very dignified or respectful of the office of the presidency. They thought him petulant. To continue your love for the dignity of elected office, I hear Sarah Palin reads quite well, but I wouldn’t want you to think that I would compare your level of achievement to Gov. Palin’s as a measure of intellect. I am amazed at your acuity in being able to see that Republicans looked as if to vomit. That’s amazing.

Oh, those talking points. He is arrogant (because he knows the facts better than all of them combined). He is an elitist (because he uses big words that they don't understand). He is weak on national security (because he actually thinks about the consequences). He divides the country (well, he did that the day he had the audacity to win the election). Worst of all, he actually thinks that he's the president. He even dared to say so on Thursday. How arrogant of him. You'd think that previous presidents didn't have any ego. Somehow it turned out that the one president who treats even his biggest opponents with the utmost respect – is the arrogant one. I wonder why.

Knows facts better? How do you know that? Uses words that Republicans don’t understand? I’m sure you know that as fact. National security? Most Republicans see that as his bright spot. He divides the country by his audacity? Yep, but not because of your racist card toss. He should think he is president? Yep, he was elected. He’s the one president who treat his biggest opponents with the utmost respect? That is such a stupid statement I am sure you’ll winch that you made it once your rant wears off, but you wonder why he might feel this way and you answer it for him in your silent cry of RACISM?

I expected that his winning the Presidency would bring out some ugliness, but it's been far worse than i imagined. The racism coming from the Right is obviously clear and shameless, but there's also some hidden and maybe subconscious and disturbing underline tone behind some of the things that I read here and throughout the Left blogosphere, even before the end of Obama's first year - 'He's weak, he's spineless, he's got no balls, primary him in 2012'. It'll be dishonest to deny that.

'He's weak, he's spineless, he's got no balls, primary him in 2012.' That’s not what I am hearing from Republicans (you said that racism was clear and shameless in Republicans) and nor am I hearing that from Democrats that I know, work with socialize with. I do hear it from Progressives that think he betrayed their hopes and dreams, so, take that up with them.

The fact is that for millions in America, Barack Obama is this uppity black man (Not even a "real" black), who received good education only due to affirmative action, and has no right to litter the sacred Oval Office with his skin color. They just can't accept the fact that the president is a black man, who unlike his predecessor, was actually legally elected. But what's really sad is that it's not just the fringe, its deep deep in mainstream America.

Blackwaterdog, this paragraph shows how unhinged and scattered your thinking is. “Uppity”, “affirmative action”, “litter” “actually legally elected” and “mainstream America”? You are “deep, deep" (ly) disassociated with mainstream America and this proves it. Unlike mainstream America you allow pure hatred and rage flow through you words and thoughts choosing to throw reality to the gutter as useless.

Barack Obama's ability to remain above all this slob, to keep his optimism and his strange and mostly unjustified faith in people, while continuing to gracefully deal with an endless shitstorm – is one of the most inspiring displays of human quality I have ever seen. And i can only hope that the Cosmos is on his side.

“Strange and mostly unjustified faith in people.” Well, Blackwaterdog, he’s got you whether he would want you or not, but then that’s what your hoping isn’t it. It gives you gravitas. It gives you self importance.

It’s too bad you don’t give the utmost respect that the American people deserve, but you can’t because you think we’re stupid, as you are so much smarter to see us thus, in the true light that shines down just for you and President Obama.

That is sad.

Harkin Read Letter from Staffer's Relative At Health Care Meeting

Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, read a letter from a distressed constituent concerning the cost of health care. The constituent stated that costs were spiraling out of control stating that in the future he would pay in excess of $42,000 a year.

Sen. Harkin offered no proof as to the contents of the letter, but he used it as a dagger to the heart of fairness and honesty concerning the health care reform debate.

Nor did Sen. Harkin divulge that the letter was from a relative of one of his staff.

Convenient, eh?

McCain gets Under Obama's Skin And Obama Slaps Him Down

How Presidential.



Obama kept stating that Republicans were getting bogged down in process, how the bill will be accomplished, and not addressing the needs of the public. That is a perfect example of The Art of the Lie.

The process is the important factor in this debate. I would humbly suggest that they should start with whether this idea is even constitutional. But, it should also be discussed whether coercion, bribes and shutting Republican ideas out is a good process for legislation and voting on it and whether is it good for the people.

The process is important when our elected officials are attempting to decide legislation that will forever alter America away from open markets, capitalism and freedom to choose. A classic example is Prohibition. Though well meant, at least to those totally unaware of human nature, Prohibition was not just a disaster, it was stupid, killed people and built the largest organized crime groups in world history.

Process is important. Very important. Without process, without thought, we end up with bad legislation and administrations. We are witnessing both at the moment.

Daily Kos & Political Polls As Propagandic Politics

via Ann Althouse

This type of poll is at least two layered in that it plants ideas in the polled persons minds and when the desired result is obtained the poll can then be used a propaganda by the person paying for the poll.

Ann Althouse delves into the veracity of the poll. That is good to do because the Kos poll results are crap. Kos know it, the media knows it and any thinking person knows it, but many will report it as fact. For Kos, a master of media manipulation, it is a win-win. Some will believe while others will be driven to Kos' site.

Poll: Republicans Think Obama Is A Socialist, And Palin More Qualified To Be President

• 39% of Republicans want President Obama to be impeached.

• 63% think Obama is a socialist.

• Only 42% believe Obama was born in the United States.

• 21% think ACORN stole the 2008 election -- that is, that Obama didn't actually win it, and isn't legitimately the president, with 55% saying they are "not sure." This number is actually significantly lower than it was in a similar question from Public Policy Polling (D) back in November, which said that 52% of Republicans thought ACORN stole it. So does this mean Obama is gaining ground among Republicans? As it is, only just over 20% of Republicans will say that Obama actually won the election.

• 53% think Sarah Palin is more qualified than Obama to be president.

• 23% want to secede from the United States.

• 73% think gay people should not be allowed to teach in public schools. This position puts the GOP base well to the right of none other than Ronald Reagan, who helped defeat the Briggs Initiative, a 1978 referendum in California that would have forbidden gays or people who advocated gay rights from teaching in public schools.

• 31% want contraception to be outlawed.

I wonder if among those polled by Kos there is a probability of 78% who are po'd at being had or if that 78% is snickering at foisting another lie onto the public. Kos gets how this works and is still expecting a governmental post somewhere. May I suggest at the Ministry of Propaganda.

Former Democrats Deserting Obama Gang

via Another Black Conservative from American Power

This video from YouTube is driving liberals nuts which is a good reason to spread it everywhere.
Locally, Obama stickers are disappearing from cars and windows, even with the local college. Working people are seeing first hand what big government help does to them and they don't like it. Going to taverns or parties is refreshing in that if you want a moment of relief, just bring up Obama and it gets very quiet and people drift away.



Over Christmas while in New York, those that voted for Obama, et al seemed so defensive or they came right out and stated they had made a mistake. Many, who I had known as liberals, said they'd had it with the Democrats and they'd give no more money, no more support and no more votes.

I'm not sure who to nominate for Republican helper of the year, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, Schumer, Emanuel or the professor, Axlerod.
