More about the Yule Goat
These people just don't get it Joe...
"Grover Norquist, a leading conservative and president of Americans for Tax Reform, called Palin "one of five or six people who is a plausible candidate for president in 2012," along with familiar names like Mitt Romney, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich."
Norquist needs to crawl back under his rock and take Newt, Sarah, Mitt, and Rick with him!
I just wanted to let you know that if I ever said anyting offensive I apologize, and with all sincerity, thank you for letting me vent.
I am now so very worried that When Obama gets full measure of what the Republicans have been doing for the last 8 years the news will be catastrophic, and he will have to announce it to the country. Those Republican will not want to hear this, and the fight will begin.
Because I'm sure we are not being told the truth even yet(to benefit McCain). And the nasty stuff will start when the truth of the last 8 years is revealed
we should keep an eye on them while we move forward and make things better. they can't be left alone again to claim they are the real America.
Would someone please arrest this MOFO - 'cause nancy pelosi wont do it...
I'm beginning to think that conservatism or at least membership in the Republican party makes one brain damaged.
Not quite yet. Careful with that thought, it sounds Rovian.
Great lords, wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss,
But cheerly seek how to redress their harms.

are you retiring from the talking heads beat or just taking a well-earned vacation? or did i miss your post somewhere??
we may still need your expertise...your unique insight and your way with snark...
Oh, The Irony
Rove:
"Well, the Chief of Staff, there is no corporate role, but in the Chief of Staff in the White House is an honest broker. When the leader of the opposition Party in the House or Senate calls up the Chief of Staff of the President of the United States, he expects and has a right to expect that whatever he says to him will be properly conveyed to the President in an honest and forthright way. And it's really troubling that, I mean, Rahm is smart, but he doesn't have the trust and confidence of a lot of his Republican colleagues."
Please mock..

SHUT UP ROVE YOU LOSER.
One thing that needs to be done is to investigate the church money behind all of this crap, and deny them tax-exempt status for engaging in political chicanery. Bush did his best to erase the separation of church and state, and that is just one thing that must be fully corrected.
If you think I'm kidding, a morning traffic radio show had a segment on "christian charities" and promoting the "missionary" work these people do, even down to the "testimony" of a woman who had gotten her "first" shoes in a package along with a subsequent conversion to christianity which she claims thrilled her more. These morons were constantly pushing McBush/Palin and they do a daily dump on Obama in addition to making constant racist references generally.
I heard Scarborough say last night (I'm in Korea) in regard to McCain's campaign, that "there's always away" to get elected, he was never doomed by Bush or Republican unpopularity or failures.
These people took the richest most powerful country, looted it and anal rapped it with fear for all it was worth and have driven it down into near third world precipice, and they think non of that matters.
Never once were they ever interested in helping anybody but a few of their cohorts. That's why they are out of power. If they had done half of what Clinton did for this country they might have some credibility and McCain might have had a ghost of a chance.
What idiots.
Republicans, in their typical "forget everything that happened yesterday", all say now that Bush wasn't a Real Conservative.
After 7.5 years of saying Bush was 'appointed by God' to be America's Conservative-In-Chief, and raucously applauding every bone-haded and Big Government move he made, the Grand Old Party can not be allowed to get away with their latest lie. They need to OWN Bush's every failure, from 9/11 to the intentional collapse of the US economy and the removal of America as the world's beacon of Freedom. Conservatism did all of that and more.
Conservatism intentionally destroyed the US economy.
Conservatism intentionally tore America down from our post-WWII position of guidance for the whole world.
Conservatism gleefully sends our Armed Forces to Afghanistan and Iraq to murder women and children as an excuse the hand $10B a month to war profiteers.
Conservatism has completely and utterly failed and we need to make sure that is the message in the media and is the lesson that is recorded in history.
On the other hand, if you have a lot of people to share with every day, valuable information gets circulated and you can learn to feel what another person is about. Except for urban dwellers, human perspective is lost. Note the voting patterns typical in the US.
It's your fringe base, Stupid!
It’s mainly just temporizing, tilling the meme soil for future seeding, until the false equivalency concepts take firm root.
Ridicule's high acid content has and will stall development of their over produced spin anyway.
I would like to see Obama take a page from the Ronald Reagan playbook. Reagan got his agenda through a Democratic House. He did it by doing an end run around the MSM, the pundits and the Congressional leadership and taking his case directly to the American people. Presidents can do that but few have done it regularly since Reagan. When a tough vote is coming up, he should just go on national tv and make his case straight to the people. He's good at that (obviously) and would be foolish not to do this a few times a year.
right-wing and mentally on the ball do NOT go together.
i was listening to limpdick just today and a listener called in complaining that she could take it when liberals called conservatives "ignorant rubes" - that was to be expected - but did not appreciate other republicans doing it.
i've read articles saying Obama was the more conservative candidate this time...
the GOP will have a helluva time figuring this out. goody.
Wrong again Rove! Your days as a voice in our government will be gone soon and the sooner the better. Good riddance to bad rubbish (Rove)!
Thank God his ugly, demeaning ways will be gone forever, hopefully!
