Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Come on, man.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

    Just confirms what I said all along: To the Democrats, GWB is the real enemy- NOT Al Qeada.

    Kennedy’s speech was certainly very poor, reminding us why Clinton is such a giant in the party. He said several odd things, including the one mentioned; criticizing Bush for being part of a dynasty (?); and emphasizing the ‘under God’ part of the pledge. The more welfare-state element was slightly more convincly heartfelt. But the overall feel was of a vast ramble across every thing he might have been expected to say with a half-hearted attempt to personalise with local colour.

    I don’t know what the problem is. How is this different from any other Bush=Hitler, or “Bush is a lynch mob leader”, or “Republicans like to starve little black children” crack?

    No accusation is ordinarily too vile for the Dems to lob at conservatives, libertarians, or Republicans – so I’m wondering if the upset is because Onkel Teddy broke ranks on the positive-plastic-fantastic message that the Kerryites apparently mandated.
