Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Second rate reporter says what?

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Every time I read these ham-handed attacks, I am flabbergasted:

Washington, DC, Sep. 10 (UPI) — Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe said more than a dozen times Friday that President Bush had lied to the American public.

“It has become crystal clear that the president has lied to the American public about his military service,” McAuliffe said.

“What were they covering up?” he added. “This White House makes the Nixon White House look like it was open, honest and trustworthy.”

But even as he launched the DNC’s third day of accusations that the president was untruthful about whether he fulfilled his duties in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, McAuliffe said the he called the president a liar only reluctantly.

“This is painful for me to have to sit here — stand here today and to say the president of the United States lied,” he said.

“But you know what? I’m not doing this for me. I’m not doing this for the Democratic Party. I’m doing this for every American whose life has been adversely affected” by the Bush administration.

All I have to say about military service. Bill Clinton

I hope they keep getting more and more strident and obnoxious. I predict the polls will go 3-4 more points towards Bush in the next few days.

    Poor Terry. The pain he goes through, just ’cause he loves us so much. He’s so brave.

    Yeah, poor Terry. Seems like his “Messiah” complex is beginning to be too much for him to bear…
