Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

I really should read my own blog.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

That pie keeps getting more and more forks, reducing anyone’s chance of even a Perot.

The new temporary speaker of the house is a spiteful little shit.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The revolution will be supervised.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Ah, the different things are different argument.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

    Actually, yes. This proves that Gray Davis is smarter than Al Gore. lol … what a race that’d be – two contestants vying to see who can screw up the least and both failing miserably.

    Granted Clinton is an easy target for those who hate him, and other Democrats will occasionally take an opportunistic shot at him when they’re sure they’ll score points.

    In general among Democrats, however, Clinton is pure gold. Gore didn’t understand this. The rest do. Watch the rhetoric coming from many of the candidates. Most won’t hesitate to draw comparisons to the man if they can do it in a safe, contained way.

    Why do you think Hillary is still in the picture? These two are easy to hate, but a lot of people still love them, and those people are nothing to scoff at if you’re a Democrat fighting for your political life.

    Sorry, I realize I didn’t completely answer your question.

    A California Democrat is not worried about the Republican base in his state. That’s like asking the NY Yankees if they’re worried about galvanizing the Detroit Tigers. Heck no! They’re worried about shoring up their middle relief.

    This thing is a problem for Davis because so many Democrats are jumping ship on him. Gray Davis is never going to appeal to California Republicans, nor does he need to. It’s a problem for Bustamente because he’s linked to Davis. If this were a pure Democrat/Republican question, it’d be no contest. Let’s not get carried away with all of this and imagine that there is some kind of Repblican groundswell underway in California. It’s still the left coast.

    I agree with Brian. What does he have to lose? Most of the people incensed at the idea of Clinton stumping for Davis would probably have been going to vote for the recall anyway.

    The Republican base in California has been galvanized around the recall for some time, since the moment that Issa’s once-quixotic stunt started to fly and they realized a chance to pick up the governorship by quirk.

    Unfortunately for the Republicans, they are unable to unite behind one candidate, their leading candidate offers the type of vague, content-free campaign that may wilt as time goes by, and their base is simply smaller than the Democrats’.

    Talk about rock solid costituencies. The way black people fall all over Clinton when he makes these appearances at black churches is amazing. If you were from outer space you wouldn’t know that the plantation system in the US ended 138 years ago.

    No wonder the Democrats take the black vote and California for granted, I would too if I were in their place.

    “If you were from outer space you wouldn’t know that the plantation system in the US ended 138 years ago.”

    Son, if that’s all you know about when black Americans attained even an approximation of equal rights, turn off the monitor and read some books.

    “Son, if that’s all you know about when black Americans attained even an approximation of equal rights, turn off the monitor and read some books.”

    Sir, my statement had nothing whatsoever to do with black Americans attaining their full enfranchisement in America and you know it. Instead of lecturing you should read the statements in relation to the post, specifically in relation to Bill Clinton. If you have a opposing argument based on empiricism or experience I’m open. But shame on you for trying to paint me as ignorant and/or a racist. You are invoking the race version of Godwin’s Law, the first person to call someone a racist loses.

    Also if you want to influence people try not to be so condenscending or people might start to think you work in academia or for the federal government.

    And if you are having trouble understanding my post let me know and I will type slower.
